Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

These words caused a stir among the crowd, who cheered excitedly, and the young talents participating in the competition were also full of fighting spirit. With Zhou Yi's command, the first Human Race Genius Battle officially began.

Under the meticulous organization of Emperor Sui and others, talented individuals from all walks of life made their appearances. As this was the first time such an event had been held and preparations had taken a century, the number of geniuses who registered to participate was astonishing, reaching millions.

In order to quickly eliminate those who did not meet the required cultivation level, the preliminary round was actually a test of strength. Only those who had reached the Immortal Three-Slaying Dao realm could enter the subsequent competitions.

The test results were surprising; all applicants passed the test, which means that there are at least millions of True Immortal level experts among the human race.

Zhou Yi was very pleased with this achievement, which marked the initial success of his goal.

The main purpose of holding this Human Race Genius Battle is that Zhou Yi hopes to inspire the human race's enthusiasm for cultivation through such activities and to enhance the strength of the entire race as much as possible.

Encouragingly, millions of people have reached the Immortal Three-Severing Dao realm, possessing the cultivation level of a True Immortal, which undoubtedly proves the correctness of Zhouyi's decision.

This achievement far exceeded the expectations of the four elders, including Emperor Sui. After some discussion, they decided to add an assessment standard to further select the most outstanding talents.

Even so, tens of thousands of geniuses still managed to stand out and enter the arena battle stage.

The rules of the arena battle are simple and clear: the winners continue to advance, while the losers must leave the arena, and only the most talented human geniuses can have the last laugh.

With thousands of arenas set up simultaneously, thousands of matches are about to begin.

Ordinary people may only be able to focus on the result of a single match, but for those powerful individuals with profound cultivation, a mere sweep of their divine sense is enough to grasp the entire situation of the battle.

Although the members of the Wu tribe do not possess a primordial spirit, Yu Qiang and Hou Tu, as ancestral Wu, are able to observe every battle with their extraordinary power.

At first, the two Ancestral Witches felt that the cultivation levels of these geniuses were not particularly outstanding. However, as the competition progressed, their expressions gradually became serious.

Although the cultivation level of the human geniuses was generally average, their combat power was exceptionally astonishing. After comparison, the two Ancestral Witches were surprised to find that, at the same level, the Witch Clan might not be a match for the human geniuses.

For a long time, the Wu tribe has dominated the prehistoric world with its powerful physical strength, which even the demon tribe could hardly match.

But now, faced with the formidable fighting power displayed by the human race, the advantages of the witch race no longer seem so obvious. This has led the two ancestral witches to reconsider the strength of the human race.

"Two Ancestral Witches, do you think our clan's genius is still worth watching?" Zhou Yi asked with a smile upon seeing this.

The two ancestral witches, Yu Qiang and Hou Tu, were exceptionally intelligent and naturally understood the profound meaning in the words of the Book of Changes.

"Alright! Your human geniuses are indeed outstanding!" Yu Qiang rolled his eyes in response. Hou Tu remained silent, only glancing at Zhou Yi silently. She hadn't expected Zhou Yi to have such a mischievous side.

Zhou Yi said with emotion, "Rising from humble beginnings, as the leader of a race, it is my bounden duty to lead humanity to strength. It is precisely because we dare not slacken in the slightest that our human race has achieved its current prosperity."

"You deserve immense credit for the achievements of the human race; you must have put in countless hours of hard work behind the scenes."

"I noticed that the human geniuses are exceptionally powerful in combat. What kind of cultivation techniques do they practice?" Hou Tu Zu Wu asked curiously.

"To be honest, this technique was created specifically for humanity, and I named it the Supreme Human Technique!" Zhou Yi replied.

"The supreme law of humanity? A path to sainthood exclusively for humanity? It seems your ambitions are truly lofty!" exclaimed the Ancestral Witch of Thick Earth.

"Actually, this cultivation method isn't limited to human practice. If you're interested, I can share a cultivation method that might be suitable for you as a reference," Zhou Yi suggested, a sudden inspiration flashing in his mind.

"Oh? Really? You should know that our Wu clan does not have a primordial spirit, which means that many cultivation techniques are beyond our reach!" said the Ancestral Wu of Thick Earth.

Zhou Yi certainly understood this. The Wu tribe was born with powerful bodies, enabling them to rival most creatures in the primordial world. However, the lack of a primordial spirit also limited their further advancement.

The mainstream cultivation methods in the current prehistoric world originated from the Dao Ancestor, and the core of these methods is the cultivation and development of the primordial spirit.

For powerful individuals pursuing the quasi-saint realm, it is necessary to gradually enhance their cultivation by severing the three corpses. The so-called three corpses refer to good thoughts, evil thoughts, and self-attachment, representing three kinds of obsessions within an individual's heart.

By entrusting these obsessions to innate spiritual treasures and severing their manifestations, cultivators can greatly expand their spiritual attainment.

Once all three corpses are eradicated and the Great Nirvana Realm is reached, the three corpses are then reunited, ultimately achieving a perfect fusion of the original body and the incarnation. At that point, one is only one step away from the Great Primordial Dao.

Because the Wu tribe does not have a primordial spirit, they cannot cultivate by severing the three corpses, let alone follow the various cultivation methods passed down by the Dao Ancestor.

For them, the only viable path to enlightenment is to emulate the great god Pangu and prove their Dao through extreme physical training.

However, even the twelve most powerful ancestral witches were still separated from the achievements of the great god Pangu by an insurmountable chasm. Moreover, even the great god Pangu himself did not fully succeed in creating the world; how could others have achieved it so easily?

Even if Zhou Yi were willing to impart the supreme human law to the Hou Tu Ancestral Witches, such a method would be of no practical significance to them because the Witch Clan is unable to cultivate their primordial spirit.

Generally speaking, the idea of ​​the Thick Earth Ancestral Witch is correct: even if the Supreme Human Law differs from the teachings of the Dao Ancestor, it still requires the primordial spirit to cultivate.

In the world of "Covering the Sky", the primordial spirit is usually called divine consciousness, which plays a crucial role in the process of opening the five major physical secret realms.

"It's alright. I think this technique is very suitable for you. Even if you can't fully master it, you can still gain inspiration from it!" Zhou Yi said.

Even without a primordial spirit, it doesn't mean that the Thick Earth Ancestral Witch is completely unable to benefit from the supreme human law. Zhou Yi knows of a cultivation method that is particularly suitable for her.

This cultivation technique originated from the hand of one of the most outstanding emperors in the world of "Covering the Sky," who was actually a woman.

She was the peerless, cold-blooded, and talented Empress who created the "Devouring Heaven Divine Art" with a mortal body and ultimately ascended to the throne.

The Devouring Heaven Divine Art is an extremely powerful classic martial art. Its most amazing feature is that it can devour various royal bodies and cause the user to undergo a transformation.

For example, the Cold and Aloof Emperor ascended to the throne by cultivating the "Devouring Heaven Divine Art," transforming his originally ordinary physical body into a flawless chaotic body.
