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

After his initial elation, Xuandu quickly calmed down.

There is still a key issue that needs to be addressed.

The overwhelming pressure emanating from him, like a vast sea of ​​stars, receded like a tide, instantly vanishing without a trace.

He returned to his ordinary appearance, as if the terrifying pressure that had just suffocated Kong Xuan was just an illusion.

Kong Xuan suddenly felt a lightness all over his body, and the pressure suddenly disappeared.

He subconsciously took a deep breath, his gaze towards Xuan Du filled with an indescribable complexity.

Doubt, and deep curiosity.

The opponent's control over power has reached a point where it can be controlled at will, a state of returning to simplicity and authenticity.

"Since Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan has agreed, we are now fellow disciples."

Xuan Du smiled and spoke calmly, as if he hadn't been the one who had just intimidated others.

"However, before returning to Jin'ao Island to meet my master, there is one more thing I need to tell you, fellow Daoist."

Kong Xuan's mind sharpened, he suppressed his distracting thoughts, and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Speaking."

He lowered his stance considerably. In the primordial world where strength reigns supreme, Xuandu won his approval with absolute power.

Xuan Du's gaze swept over the surroundings, and he slowly said:

"My cultivation level is not something that outsiders can know for the time being."

"Even if I return to Jin'ao Island and meet my master and fellow disciples, please keep it a secret for me. Just treat me as a celestial cultivator."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes.

Concealing one's cultivation level?

Moreover, they concealed their astonishing cultivation level of the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Can it be kept secret from a sage master?

His mind was filled with doubts, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Why is that? With your abilities, fellow Daoist, why would you need to..."

Xuan Du raised his hand, interrupting him, his eyes deep and meaningful:

"The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind."

"With the Lich King's catastrophe still raging, some trump cards are far more useful when hidden in the shadows than when displayed in the open."

He paused, looked at Kong Xuan, and spoke with a subtle, unspoken meaning:

"Moreover, revealing our strength too early is not a good thing."

"I will take care of things when the time is right."

Kong Xuan recalled the terrifying pressure he had just experienced and assumed that Xuan Du simply did not want to reveal his strength.

He nodded and said in a deep voice:

"I see."

"I, Kong Xuan, will keep this matter strictly confidential."

Upon hearing this, Xuandu nodded slightly.

He does indeed have this intention.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Prematurely revealing one's cultivation level at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm may immediately grant one a prestigious status, but it will also inevitably attract countless scrutiny and suspicion.

What will Lao Tzu think?

How would Yuanshi Tianzun view this?

And then there are the two Western Saints, and the Lich and Demon races...

Trouble will only follow.

It would be better to lie low for now.

With the help of the system, I will absorb the essence of all immortals and break through to the realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal in one fell swoop!

At that time, strength will be the true source of confidence.

The Primordial Golden Immortal transcends the Heavenly Dao and establishes its own laws.

Even a saint deserves to be looked at with respect.

His status in the Jie Sect will be completely different.

No longer do we need to be so careful.

Rather, he is someone who can stand on equal footing with the chief disciples like Duobao and Jinling, and is even more valued because of his Hunyuan Dao Fruit!

After all, apart from the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Primordial Qilin who followed the Primordial Path during the Dragon-Han Calamity, no other living being has followed the Primordial Path.

Only then can he truly do some of the things he wants to do.

For example... protecting the human race.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed deep in Xuandu's eyes.

The demon race slaughtered the human race and forged the Witch-Slaying Sword.

This was a tragedy that was destined to happen, a calamity that humanity was bound to face under the workings of Heaven.

In the original timeline, Laozi Taiqing established the Human Religion and became a saint, but he advocated governing by non-action and was almost indifferent to the rise and fall of the human race.

Although Xuandu was his only disciple, he was also influenced by him to be quiet and inactive, and did not interfere too much in the affairs of the human race.

But he is no longer the Xuandu he once was!

He came from the future, and his soul was imprinted with the identity of being human and the seven emotions and six desires.

He couldn't stand by and watch billions of humans be slaughtered and turned into swords without doing anything!

He's determined to fight for it!

Fight for that sliver of hope for this frail yet tenacious human race!

not to mention......

Xuan Du's mind raced, and a bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.

Although the human race is weak now, how vast is its population?

It can be called the number one in the primordial world!

If a large number of humans could be brought into the Jie Sect, even if they were just ordinary outer disciples or even nominal disciples...

With the [Summarization System], what terrifying cultivation level and foundational feedback would that be?

I can't even imagine!

At that time, let alone the Primordial Golden Immortal, even the ethereal Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm might be within our reach!

With his original cultivation level as a disciple of the Jie Sect, he was guaranteed to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Of course, Xuandu also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the Tongtian Sect Leader to personally take in hundreds of millions of human beings.

While it is true that the Jie Sect teaches without discrimination, it is not a sect that accepts indiscriminate students.

Moreover, the human race is generally shallow in its foundation and cannot be appreciated by a sage.

but......

A glint of light flashed in Xuan Du's eyes.

The Master of Heaven won't accept it, but he can!

Once he has enough status and cultivation, he can rightfully recruit disciples as a member of the Jie Sect and bring the human race into the Jie Sect system!

His disciples are naturally considered disciples of the Jie Sect, and will inevitably be included in the total by the system!

In this way, it can both protect the human race and take advantage of the human race's huge population to rapidly increase its strength.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Xuandu felt his heart suddenly open up and the future seemed bright.

The Primordial Realm is where the lifeblood of humanity rests.

He looked at Kong Xuan and saw that the other party had already agreed to keep it a secret, and the last trace of concern in his heart disappeared.

"In that case, I will have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan."

Xuan Du cupped his hands in greeting, his tone becoming more sincere.

Kong Xuan quickly returned the greeting and said:

"It's my duty."

Although he was arrogant, he was not ungrateful.

Xuandu's demonstrated strength and potential have earned him basic respect, not to mention that they now belong to the same sect.

"Without further ado, let us return to Jin'ao Island now to meet our master and complete your initiation ceremony."

Xuan Du said.

Only when Kong Xuan formally joins the Jie Sect will his system mission be considered complete, and the accumulated feedback will be unlocked.

Kong Xuan had no objection.

He had been cultivating in seclusion here for a long time, and he also wanted to witness the grand scene of the Jie Sect where ten thousand immortals came to pay homage. He also hoped to receive guidance from a sage and perfect the Five Elements Great Dao.

The two did not delay any longer.

Xuandu still looked like a celestial being, his aura peaceful.

Kong Xuan also concealed his aura and followed behind Xuan Du.

Xuan Du rolled up his sleeves, not using his full strength, but only at the speed of an ordinary Golden Immortal, taking Kong Xuan with him as a streak of light and heading towards Jin'ao Island in the East Sea.

This is a good opportunity to have a brief exchange with Kong Xuan.

Along the way, Xuandu casually inquired about the scenery of the Undying Volcano and the old stories of the Phoenix Clan, but in reality, he was also subtly probing the current situation in the prehistoric world, especially the movements of the Witch and Demon Clans.

Although Kong Xuan had lived in the south for a long time, as the crown prince of the Phoenix Clan, he had his own channels of information.

They know at least more than I do.

He mentioned that the demon race has been making frequent moves recently, seemingly gathering on a large scale with an unclear target, but their malevolent aura is already faintly spreading in the direction of Mount Buzhou.

The Wu tribe still occupies the land, with the twelve ancestral witches exchanging auras, subtly confronting the Heavenly Court.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Xuan Du listened silently, understanding in his heart.

The atmosphere of the final battle against the Lich King has begun to brew.

Time is running out for humanity, and for him.

We must improve our strength as soon as possible!
