Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Yuan Shi's gaze fell upon the sea area shrouded in a crimson-gold pillar of light:

"On the shores of the East China Sea, the ancestral land of martial arts..."

"What if... the spiritual energy here is depleted, and the earth's veins are severed?"

The voice was very soft, yet it carried a chilling, eerie quality.

The spiritual energy is depleted, and the earth's veins are severed.

For humans who cultivate martial arts, they may not die immediately, but their cultivation speed will definitely drop sharply, and breaking through the barriers will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

At that time, although the martial arts tradition will still exist, it will be like water without a source or a tree without roots, and it will wither away sooner or later!

Therefore, Xuandu will certainly find it difficult to attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos!

"Excellent... excellent plan!"

Yuan Shi clapped his hands, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

This action will deplete some of the merits of the Heavenly Dao, and may even provoke a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

But it's worth it to contain Xuandu and suppress the Jie Sect!

"but......"

Yuanshi frowned slightly, gazing towards Jin'ao Island:

"Tongtian will never sit idly by."

The Tongtian Sect Leader's protection of Xuandu has reached an almost insane level.

Today, I am willing to use the illusory image of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to confront Laozi and him head-on.

If he were to actually attack the shores of the East Sea, severing the path of cultivation for humanity...

Tongtian will surely be furious and might even set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to wage a full-scale war against the Chan Sect!

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation...cannot be broken by anyone but the Four Sages..."

Yuan Shi's gaze was deep and profound.

Even though Laozi's foundation was damaged and he fell from the Saint Realm, among the Three Pure Ones, there were still Tongtian and Yuanshi himself.

Although the two Western Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, had a past relationship with the Xuanmen sect, they each had their own calculations and were not necessarily willing to fight to the death for the sake of the Chan and Jie sects.

Moreover... the great calamity is about to begin, and the lich is the main character.

To start a full-scale war with the Jie Sect at this moment would be a very unwise move.

"We can't force it... we need to leverage existing momentum."

The primordial mind raced, and one idea after another collided and took shape in the mind.

Whose influence are they leveraging?

The Witch Clan? The Demon Clan? Or... the Heavenly Dao?

"The Lich Wars... Humanity shall rise... Heaven's justice is impartial..."

The smile on Yuan Shi's lips grew increasingly cold:

"Since Heaven acknowledges that the human race should prosper, then let this 'prosperity'... come in a more 'reasonable' way."

He slowly raised his hand, and the jade-pure immortal light flowed from his fingertips, outlining a profound and obscure Dao pattern in the void.

The moment the Dao patterns took shape, they silently disappeared into the void, spreading towards the depths of the primordial land.

Our target is Buzhou Mountain!

Ancestral land of the Witch Clan!

He intends to use the witch clan to sever the lifeblood and destroy the spirit!

The Wu tribe and the demon tribe are sworn enemies, and they also have no goodwill towards the human race. In particular, the blood of the human race has a miraculous effect on the physical body of the Wu tribe, which makes the Wu tribe deeply wary of the human race.

If we inform the Wu Clan that the martial arts law has a restraining effect on them...

What will happen to the Witch Clan?

Given the nature of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they would probably not hesitate to directly overturn the shores of the East Sea and sever the foundation of the human race!

At that time, Xuandu Martial Arts will be destroyed and the human race will suffer a calamity. Even if Tongtian is furious, his primary hatred will only be directed at the Wu Clan.

And he, Yuanshi... could sit back and watch the tigers fight, or even secretly fan the flames, causing the Jie Sect and the Wu Clan to suffer heavy losses!

"Killing two birds with one stone... no, killing three birds with one stone!"

A brilliant light shone brightly in Yuanshi's eyes.

This would not only suppress Xuandu and the Jie Sect, but also weaken the Wu Clan, and further deepen the hatred between the Demon Clan and the Wu Clan, thus triggering the Great Tribulation ahead of schedule...

At that time, his sect can take advantage of the chaos to seize the greatest benefits!

"good."

Yuanshi slowly uttered a single word, then with a flick of his sleeve, a burst of Jade Purity Immortal Light shot into the sky, carrying him back to Kunlun.

Before his figure disappeared, he took one last look at the shore of the East China Sea and at the crimson-gold martial arts pillar.

The murderous intent in his eyes was like ancient ice, unfathomable.

"Xuan Du... Jie Sect..."

"In the great calamity... we will see the outcome later."

......

Jin'ao Island, Lingyun Peak.

Inside the Xuandu Cave, chaotic energy swirled, and the primordial Daoist aura, like mist and haze, enveloped the entire cave in a profound and indescribable fluctuation of laws.

Xuandu did not immediately go into seclusion.

He stood alone in the center of the cave, his blue robes fluttering slightly, his black hair flowing over his shoulders, his gaze piercing through the layers of restrictions, looking towards the direction of the East China Sea.

The aura of the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele was faintly perceptible, and the resonance of the blood and qi of billions of humans, even across billions of miles of void, came in waves like tides.

"The laws of martial arts have been established... but it's still not enough."

Xuan Du muttered to himself, his eyes swirling with chaotic light.

With a slight thought, a wisp of his divine sense crossed the void and instantly disappeared beneath the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele on the shore of the East Sea, falling into the depths of the consciousness of Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, and Ziyishi.

"Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi".

Xuan Du's voice rang out clearly, calm yet carrying an undeniable determination:

"I need to go into seclusion to comprehend the laws of martial arts and attempt to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm."

"The teachings of martial arts must never cease beneath the Heavenly Stele of Martial Arts."

"The three of you are all Great Luo Golden Immortals, and your understanding of martial arts is second only to mine. You should continue to preach and enlighten countless human beings."

"As long as the preaching continues, the martial arts never cease, and the will of humanity never weakens, my path to enlightenment will be smoother."

As soon as he finished speaking, his divine sense dissipated.

Beneath the Martial Arts Heavenly Stele.

Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, and Ziyishi trembled violently and suddenly opened their eyes!

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, which quickly turned into ecstasy and resolve!

"Master's voice transmission!"

The wrinkles on Suirenshi's aged face smoothed out, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented light:

"He commands us to continue preaching and perpetuate the martial arts tradition!"

Youchao clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice like a booming bell:

"Good! Great good!"

"With Master in seclusion to prove his Dao, how can the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele be left unattended?"

"Although the three of us are not even a fraction as good as our master, it is our duty to impart knowledge, resolve doubts, and guide the human race in cultivation!"

Ziyi's beautiful eyes shone like stars, and the battle armor woven from spiritual herbs around her moved without wind, exuding a supple and enduring martial arts aura.

"Master severed the karma of the saints with the laws of martial arts, securing eternal peace for the human race. Such a great kindness can never be repaid."

"Today, our Master has entrusted us with the responsibility of preaching the Dharma, which is to say, he has entrusted us with the future of humanity!"

She took a deep breath, her voice as firm as iron:

"We... will certainly not fail our master's expectations!"

The three exchanged a glance, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately stood up.

"Humans, heed my command!"

Suirenshi's voice was aged yet resonant, like an ancient horn, awakening a deep resonance within his bloodline:

"Master Xuandu is in seclusion to prove his Dao, and the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele is giving lectures... The three of us will lecture on behalf of our master!"

The sound waves rolled on, spreading in all directions.

The billions of humans below fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a thunderous response:

"I will strictly follow the teachings of my predecessors!!!"

Sounds converge, blood and energy resonate, willpower soars like a dragon!

A burning light shone in the eyes of every human.

Although Master Xuandu is in seclusion, the martial arts lineage has not been broken!

The three sages, Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, and Ziyishi, were the earliest, most accomplished, and most insightful Great Luo Immortals of the human race who followed Xuandu!

Although their teachings, though not as profound as those of Master Xuandu, can still enhance the understanding of martial arts among billions of humankinds.

As the three members of the Suiren clan began to preach, Xuandu also felt the martial arts feedback from billions of humans transmitted through the total system.

"It's time!"
