Chapter 321 – History of the Taotie clan

Chapter 321 The history of Taotie clan
“Devouring the earth?”

Lu Yang bent down and picked up a piece of mud from the ground, resisted the urge to eat it and threw it back.

Immortal Fairy Heiyo let out a cry and jumped up from the ground, “Yeah, isn’t devouring the ground the meaning of eating dirt, is it hard to understand?”

Immortal Immortal felt that although Lu Yang’s IQ was not as good as his own, it should be very simple to figure out this kind of thing, right?
Lu Yang: “……”

Hoping that your family’s Devouring Ground is literal?
Seeing that Lu Yang was still confused, Immortal Immortal sighed softly and felt that it was fortunate that she had herself in the Spiritual Space to give him advice, or else Lu Yang’s brain would have easily been fooled out there.

She further explained, “Although Taotie is the four evils of the ancient times, but that’s the reputation that was mixed up only later, at the very beginning their family was mixed up quite miserably, with a big appetite and still no skills, they can’t eat enough every day, and if they can’t eat enough, they don’t have the strength, they can’t hunt, resulting in a vicious cycle of badness.”

“The Taotie family can’t get rid of their grain, they eat all their lives.”

“When they are hungry and desperate, they also eat bark and leaves and other things, but the bark and leaves are not eaten.”

“Later on, probably because the Taotie clan’s ancestors’ graves had gone up in smoke, there was a genius in the clan who was gifted in cultivation and also had a quick mind.”

“That Taotie thought, “What’s not to eat? Bark and leaves can be eaten, but not the soil on the ground?”

“It was closed for three days, the whole three days of water did not enter, see is about to starve to death, ah, a lifetime of the past in front of their eyes flashed in turn, it thought that he fell, but it remembered his own clan, family, those thin bones of the brothers and sisters, and remembered that their ardent expectations.”

“It felt that it couldn’t just sink, it had to fight back!”

“It saw hope in death, the instinctive tendency to survive fused what it had learned all its life into one, and finally opened up a great divine ability out of desperation – Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth!”

“This great divine ability transformed into the power of the bloodline and merged into the Taotie bloodline, and from then on, the Taotie clan all automatically acquired this divine ability and began to compete to eat the earth.”

“No you wait, how come I heard that the Taotie clan devours the heavens and devours the earth, even space can be torn apart, listening to you talk like this, it doesn’t look like it can tear apart space?” Lu Yang wondered, that’s not what was written in the book.

Immortal Immortal looked at Lu Yang with a puff of air, “Eh you this person, really impatient, listen to me continue!”

“You continue.”

The Immortal Immortal was smug and said, “That’s more or less the same,” and continued speaking:
“In the past, the Taotie clan was miserable and their cultivation was generally low because they didn’t have the energy to cultivate. Once they are full, they will have the extra energy to cultivate.”

“Their race’s cultivation talent is enough to rival that of the top demonic beast great clans, such as the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Kun Peng Clan, Poor Qi Clan, and so on.”

“There’s another reason for their fast cultivation speed, and that’s because eating earth can really make you stronger, and the better the quality of the earth, the faster the speed of cultivation, and for a while, the price of black earth skyrocketed, and that’s what these guys ate up.”

“Ask Sect’s medicine garden soil grade are not low, you can try it if you are interested, guaranteed to increase the cultivation speed!”

“You allow me to think about it.”

While Lu Yang was pretending to consider, Immortal Immortal spoke, “As the Taotie Clan’s cultivation skyrocketed and began to show their prominence in the Demon Clan, in the end, they are more than just gifted, the strength of their entire race can be compared to the top great clans.”

“This is what established their name as the Four Fouls.”

“When the Taotie clan developed, thinking that they were at least a big clan, eating dirt all day wasn’t like the right thing to do, they modified the skill of swallowing the sky and devouring the earth a bit and changed it to devouring all things, which is what you see now.”

Lu Yang was silent for a while and asked, “Then why didn’t you teach me this later Heaven Swallowing and Earth Devouring, Fairy?”

Immortal Fairy looked at Lu Yang strangely, not understanding why he asked this question, “Isn’t this what you asked for, to have the oldest skill, and the kind of skill that at a glance you can tell that it’s from the ancient times?”

“This is a proper ancient skill, this is all very old to me, I still read about it from an ancient book and then listened to the Qilin Immortal add to the story before I understood what happened.”

“Let me tell you, this move is almost lost, the Taotie clan might not even know it anymore, if not for you begging me, I wouldn’t even teach it!”

Lu Yang: “……”

I thank you.

“Is eating dirt the only thing this move does?” Lu Yang asked with a sense of humor. “Of course not.”

“It still does?” Lu Yang was delighted in his heart and felt that the fairy was still reliable.

“Try eating a mouthful of earth, it’s definitely dry and hard to swallow, and what about drinking water, it will form mud, which is equally bad to swallow and stick to your throat.”

“This is where ‘Swallowing Heaven’ comes in, Swallowing Heaven allows you to use your aura as water after you eat the soil, swallow the surrounding aura, pour the soil down, and gulp it in!”

“…… Hoping that this is still a combo move for you?”

“That’s right, the founder is at least a wizard of the Taotie clan, isn’t it normal for the moves to be thought of to the best of their ability?”

“Of course, Swallowing Heaven can also be used alone, it’s just absorbing aura.”

“I’ll try.”

Lu Yang silently recited the mental incantation and opened his mouth, and sure enough, a huge amount of spiritual qi poured into his mouth and entered his limbs and bones.

“Cough.” Feeling like he was choking, Lu Yang felt like he was not breathing well, his body instinctively closed his mouth and coughed.

“The speed at which you are absorbing the spiritual qi is too fast, with your current realm, you can’t absorb it so fast.”

Lu Yang sniffed and operated his gong method to calm down the spiritual energy in his body, opened his mouth and deliberately slowed down the speed of absorbing spiritual qi.

The spiritual qi was like manna, sweet and delicious, digested through the stomach and dispersed throughout the body, soothing to the extreme.

“Comfortable~” Lu Yang let out an exclamation.

“Wait, in that case, how come the feeling of absorbing Spiritual Qi just now was just like using the Spirit Gathering Formation?”

“You guessed it right, the very first Spirit Gathering Formation of our Human Race was created based on this skill.” Immortal Immortal revealed another ancient secret.

Talismans, formations, and other hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation were all created by the ancient human race to emulate nature and demonic beasts.

The demonic beasts in this case included the Taotie clan.

“No wonder …… wait, even if I learned this version of Swallowing the Sky and Devouring the Earth, it’s useless ah, who still knows this past of the Taotie clan, even if I come up to eat dirt, the Nine Spectres Sect’s won’t be able to recognize that this is Swallowing the Sky and Devouring the Earth!”

Lu Yang suddenly woke up, it was true that the skill was ancient, but there was a problem if the skill was too ancient, no one would recognize it ah.

He even suspected that in Immortal Immortal’s time, not many people knew about these things!

Immortal Immortal hesitated, “So are you going to learn the current Heaven Swallowing and Earth Devouring?”

Lu Yang nodded vigorously.

The Immortal Immortal sighed in relief, “That’s good to know.”

“How?”

“I won’t.”

If she didn’t know how, Lu Yang didn’t have to learn, it was simple.

I’m late getting home, second shift around eleven
