Chapter 431: Tai Hao Seeks to Join the Demon Clan (Part 2)
It was evident that Sui Ren did not inform the two ancestors of the Human Clan about Tai Hao's matter of consultation.
Faced with the gaze of Youchao and Ziyi, Sui Ren's expression remained unchanged and composed.
He looked at Tai Hao and couldn't help but say, "Now that the three of us are present, I wonder what matter you wish to discuss?"
Tai Hao did not speak; with a thought, the Innate Eight Diagrams instantly appeared before the three Human Clan ancestors centered around him.
The Innate Eight Diagrams continuously condensed until it fell into Tai Hao's palm.
In the face of these signs, the expressions of the three Human Clan ancestors did not change at all, quietly observing Tai Hao's actions.
They were not at all worried that Tai Hao would act recklessly in the Human Clan Ancestral Hall, as this did not align with Tai Hao's character.
Furthermore, even though the three of them might lack the ability to suppress, it should not be forgotten that the main hall of the Ancestral Hall still enshrines the sculptures of the three Human Clan Saints.
In this situation, the Human Clan Ancestral Hall could be considered the safest place.
Under the watchful eyes of the three Human Clan ancestors, Tai Hao gently pushed the Innate Eight Diagrams in his palm in front of the three ancestors.
"Three Human ancestors, please look at this item."
Tai Hao said respectfully.
Sui Ren, Youchao, and Ziyi glanced at each other, not reaching out to take the item before them but simultaneously enveloping it with their Divine Sense.
Within the Divine Sense, the Innate Eight Diagrams were constantly changing and evolving, as if there were endless transformations.
With the Quasi-Saint Realm of the three Human Clan ancestors, they could naturally glimpse much of the content of the Innate Eight Diagrams.
The more they observed, the more the expressions of the three Human Clan ancestors grew grave and serious, as they discovered that the Innate Eight Diagrams could be used not only by cultivators but also by ordinary beings.
Sui Ren looked at Tai Hao with surprise and couldn't help but inquire, "What is this?"
"This is the Innate Eight Diagrams, which I comprehended as the foundation of my path with the help of the Master of Dharma."
Tai Hao said calmly, as if he were describing a very ordinary matter.
If the Master of Dharma hadn't agreed, how could I have obtained the River Map and Luo Book, and how could I have had the fortune to comprehend the River Map and Luo Book?
Of course, this is the assistance of the Master of Dharma.
Upon hearing Tai Hao's words, the expressions of the three Human Clan ancestors became even more serious and grave.
Firstly, the fact that the Master of Dharma would assist Tai Hao was unexpected to them.
After all, based on their understanding of the Master of Dharma, unless it involved matters concerning the Human Clan, the Master of Dharma generally did not intervene in Human Clan affairs.
However, despite this, the three Human Clan ancestors regarded it with greater importance.
Another matter worthy of attention was that the Innate Eight Diagrams was indeed the foundation of Tai Hao's achievement of the Daluo Golden Immortal.
The help of the Innate Eight Diagrams to the Human Clan is significant, but this is the foundation of Tai Hao's path.
If the foundation of Tai Hao's path is leaked, other beings would have a target if they wish to target Tai Hao.
This consideration also made the three Human Clan ancestors hesitant.
Matters concerning the foundation cannot be trifled with.
The Human Clan indeed needs the Innate Eight Diagrams, but the Human Clan also needs to raise another Quasi-Saint being.
While the three Human Clan ancestors were still hesitating, Tai Hao took the initiative to speak, "This Innate Eight Diagrams can be used by cultivators, and ordinary beings can also use it to strengthen our Human Clan. I hope the three Human ancestors can quickly promote it throughout the Human Clan."
Upon hearing Tai Hao's words, the three Human Clan ancestors were momentarily stunned, then Sui Ren spoke, "Have you thought it through? This Innate Eight Diagrams is the foundation of your path."
Hearing Sui Ren's repeated inquiry, Tai Hao reacted and couldn't help but smile.
"It's no matter. When the three Human ancestors spread it, as long as they don't disclose that this is my foundation for attaining the path, who would know?"
"Moreover, this Innate Eight Diagrams is incredibly complex and ever-changing; without comprehension, one cannot glimpse my foundation of the path."
The three Human Clan ancestors looked at Tai Hao's confident demeanor, remaining silent.
They wanted to see the Human Clan give birth to another Quasi-Saint being.
"The three Human ancestors need not worry; understanding my Innate Eight Diagrams inevitably bears my cause and effect, strengthening my path. Why should we be concerned?"
Upon hearing this, Sui Ren finally spoke, "Alright, then it shall be according to your wishes."
"However, you are the creator of the Innate Eight Diagrams. Can you shoulder the matter of its transmission?"
Beside him, Youchao and Ziyi also nodded in agreement.
Tai Hao naturally would not refuse and quickly said, "This is my responsibility."
Sui Ren, Youchao, and Ziyi's expressions relaxed, but they heard Tai Hao speak again, "I have one more matter to discuss with the three Human ancestors."
Something else?
The three Human Clan ancestors glanced at each other, their eyes once again falling on Tai Hao, as Sui Ren inquired, "Tai Hao, what else is there?"
Tai Hao looked up at the three Human Clan ancestors and then spoke, "May I ask the three ancestors, where should our Human Clan go from here?"
The Human Clan, where should they go?
The three Human Clan ancestors did not expect Tai Hao to pose such a poignant question, causing them to momentarily pause.
But this was indeed an important question, one they had been considering.
Without waiting for the three Human Clan ancestors to speak, Tai Hao again asked, "The heavenly mechanism reveals our Human Clan's great prosperity."
"Our Human Clan is indeed prosperous, but by using the Innate Eight Diagrams to deduce, I found that although our Human Clan's fortune is thriving, it is not tight-knit, showing signs of fragmentation."
"I wonder if the three Human ancestors are aware or if there is a way to address this?"
The three Human Clan ancestors were surprised upon hearing Tai Hao's words.
They had merely sensed it with their Quasi-Saint Cultivation Realm, feeling that the Human Clan indeed had signs of division.
Yet they did not anticipate that Tai Hao, having just stepped into the Daluo Golden Immortal Cultivation Realm, could already deduce this using the Innate Eight Diagrams.
It should be known that those beings in the Human Clan, who have dwelled long in the Daluo Golden Immortal Cultivation Realm, cannot sense or deduce this.
The three Human Clan ancestors exchanged a glance, and Sui Ren spoke, "Alas, when the Human Clan was prospering, the Taiching Saint mentioned this issue."
"This is a trial left for the Human Clan by the Master of Dharma, but we, the three of us, besides being able to suppress it with power, cannot think of any other means."
Upon hearing this, Youchao continued, "Nowadays, we fear that relying on our trio's strength, we cannot suppress many tribes within the Primordial and prevent the division of the Human Clan."
The three Human Clan ancestors simultaneously shook their heads and sighed.
"It is precisely because of this, that we haven't spared any effort in nurturing you, wanting you to quickly break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm."
"As it turns out, you have not let down our expectations."
Ziyi spoke.
Tai Hao listened to the account of the three Human Clan ancestors, and couldn't help but furrow his brows lightly, not expecting such severe circumstances behind the great prosperity of the Human Clan.
After a long while, he looked at the three Human Clan ancestors and couldn't help but say, "Our Human Clan is thriving, can we perhaps emulate the current leading power in the Primordial, the Demon Clan?"
"Emulate the Demon Clan?"
Sui Ren said softly, then immediately shook his head.
"The Demon Clan is incredibly powerful; with Saints alone, they have three, Quasi-Saint powerhouses are the most in the Primordial, and Daluo Golden Immortals are countless."
"With such strength, how can our Human Clan emulate them?"
From the very beginning, the three Human Clan ancestors had never sought to emulate the Demon Clan.
Under such circumstances, Tai Hao looked at the three Human Clan ancestors and said, "I refer not to emulating the strength of the Demon Clan; our Human Clan lacks such foundation."
"I once examined various records within the Human Clan concerning the Demon Clan and found that compared to the Demon Clan, our Human Clan is barbaric and ignorant."
"Why doesn't our Human Clan emulate the civilization of the Demon Clan and rid ourselves of ignorance?"
As Tai Hao said this, his eyes grew brighter, as if thinking of something.
He looked solemnly at the three Human Clan ancestors and said, "Three Human ancestors, I want to join the Demon Clan to observe their civilization."
