Don't rush me in the comments! I'm currently identifying a primordial saint.

Chapter 188, Part 3: The Supreme Lord Laozi!

As time went by, Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao began to emit a golden light, which grew stronger and stronger, enveloping their entire bodies.

Their previously pained and contorted expressions gradually softened, replaced by peace and tranquility.

Suddenly, a flash of light disappeared, and Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao slowly opened their eyes, a sharp glint in their eyes.

They stood up, stretched their limbs, and their faces showed surprise.

Yuan Qingsheng exclaimed excitedly, "I did it! I've broken through to the ninth-tier God Control Master!"

Ma Tao was also extremely excited: "I've successfully broken through to the ninth level too!"

After saying that, Ma Tao punched his body hard.

"Moreover, this body has become as hard as iron! Now I feel I can withstand a full-force attack from a seventh-tier Divine Master using only my physical body!"

Su Fan looked at them and smiled happily.

With two ninth-tier Divine Masters, China's top combat power has finally returned to the forefront of the world.

The only thing missing now is the mid-range God Master.

But with that pile of elixirs, it's only a matter of time before we return to the forefront of the world.

Old Mo laughed heartily.

"Excellent! Excellent! China has taken another giant leap forward on its path to rejuvenation!"

Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao quietly broke through to the ninth level in the suburbs of Kyoto.

Mo Lao wasn't ready to let the world know that China now had two ninth-tier Divine Masters; he decided to give the world a surprise later.

After successfully advancing, Mo Lao, Yuan Qingsheng, and Ma Tao all left.

Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao need to adapt to the new level, while Mo Lao has a lot of things to deal with.

Su Fan then went to Kyoto alone to start a family, preparing to awaken Laozi.

As soon as Su Fan entered the Cheng family's gate, he felt a resentful gaze.

Looking up, Su Fan saw Cheng Peng, the head of the Cheng family, and scratched his head awkwardly.

Although Elder Mo had already resolved the matter, Su Fan still felt somewhat embarrassed about deceiving others.

Cheng Peng said resentfully:

"Young friend Su, that's not right of you. You actually lied to me."

Su Fan said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's just that those pills are too important to China, and I'm doing this for safety reasons."

Cheng Peng snorted: "Isn't this just because you don't trust me?"

Su Fan was speechless.

He really did wrong Chengjia in this matter.

However, Cheng Pengfeng changed his tune: "But Elder Mo has also given the Cheng family corresponding benefits, so let's leave it at that."

Su Fan smiled and said after hearing Cheng Peng's words:

"Master Cheng, why are you blaming me?"

Cheng Peng waved his hand, "Isn't this just to let you know that the Cheng family shares the fate of China? The Cheng family is willing to make sacrifices for the revival of China!"

Su Fan respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Master Cheng, well done!"

Cheng Peng snorted irritably, "You came here this time just to awaken that god, didn't you?"

Su Fan nodded. "That's right, I'll have to trouble Elder Cheng to take me there."

Cheng Peng nodded and then led the way.

Su Fan soon arrived at the secret room again.

Su Fan spotted the statue of Laozi immediately, and a fiery glint flashed in his eyes.

Su Fan looked at Cheng Peng and said, "Patriarch Cheng, I remember you still owe me a promise, right?"

Cheng Peng nodded subconsciously, then suddenly had a bad feeling.

Su Fan's face lit up with joy: "Okay, then I'll take this statue of a Chinese deity."

Cheng Peng's face immediately darkened: "I knew you wanted this statue of a god."

Then he shook his head with a wry smile:

"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, I don't have any talented people in my family, so they're not worth contracting with this god. It's fine if you come and contract with him, so I'll take him!"

Su Fan hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

Su Fan thanked Cheng Peng, "Then thank you, Patriarch Cheng."

After saying that, Su Fan took out his phone and started a live stream.

As soon as the live stream started, the number of viewers in the live stream room immediately exceeded 100 million.

When the audience in the live stream saw the statue of Laozi, they all exclaimed in surprise.

"It's that deity the streamer hasn't identified yet!"

"Looks like the streamer is now going to identify that deity!"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing the level of this deity!"

Su Fan took out the rare and precious materials he had prepared in advance to awaken Laozi: a broken alchemy furnace, a whisk, and a Bagua diagram.

Lay the Bagua diagram on the ground, and then place the statue of Laozi between the yin and yang fish.

The broken alchemy furnace was placed in front of Laozi, and the whisk was placed in his hand.

After Su Fan finished doing all this, he slowly took a few steps back and respectfully bowed three times to the statue of Laozi.

Then Su Fan took a deep breath and began chanting the incantation to awaken the gods.

"Laojun, Laojun, your magical powers are boundless!"

"The Eight Trigrams Refine Elixir, its power shaking the heavens!"

"He once subdued demons and protected the righteous path!"

"Accompanied by those on the Journey to the West, their supernatural powers are manifested!"

"Now I call upon you, so that your spirit may return to its origin!"

"May our China be blessed with boundless strength!"

Su Fan's voice was loud and clear, and his incantation echoed in the secret room. The viewers in the live broadcast room held their breath and stared intently at the screen.

Then, Su Fan recited the last line of the incantation in a clear voice.

"This junior, Su Fan, respectfully welcomes one of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism..."

"Laozi (Taishang Laojun)!!!"

As the incantation was finished, the previously quiet statue of Laozi suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire secret chamber.

The statue of Laozi began to tremble slightly, emitting a low rumbling sound.

The roar grew louder and louder, and the light became increasingly dazzling.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned by this scene, and the chat was flooded with comments.

"My God, this light! The level of this deity is simply unimaginable!"

"This light, this aura... it feels even more terrifying than the SR-rank water god Gonggong and fire god Zhurong!"

"Holy crap, this should at least be an SR-level Chinese deity!"

Even before Laozi opened his eyes, the powerful aura emanating from him made Su Fan and the viewers in the live stream feel a sense of oppression.

Just as everyone was marveling, the statue of Laozi suddenly opened its eyes, and two golden beams shot out, shattering the walls of the secret chamber.

Then, a voice that seemed to come from a distant heaven rang out.

The sound is sacred and inviolable, carrying an unparalleled solemnity.

The sound spread throughout China and even beyond, reaching people in countries surrounding China.

They looked up, bewildered and puzzled.

"The Celestial Clan of China! Laozi!!!"
