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

Lingyun Peak, Xuandu Cave.

Chaotic energy swirled, and the primordial Daoist aura was like mist and haze.

Xuan Du sat cross-legged in the center of the cave, his green robes fluttering without wind, his black hair flowing over his shoulders, and chaotic martial arts runes flowing beneath his skin, as if he had become the embodiment of martial arts laws.

He closed his eyes slightly, his mind completely sinking into the depths of his dantian.

There, a perfect chaotic rune floated, its light flowing and faintly resonating with the primordial Dao.

The realm of Hunyuan Daluo has been achieved.

The Great Dao's merits temper the body, the martial arts true form transforms, and the primordial Dao rhythm becomes perfectly harmonious and unobstructed.

At this moment, Xuan Du is only at the early stage of the first level of the Hunyuan Daluo realm, but his combat strength is comparable to that of an ordinary third level Hunyuan Daluo realm cultivator!

This is the power of martial arts!

Prove your path through martial arts, temper yourself, unleash your potential, and your combat power will far surpass those of others in the same realm!

"Buzz..."

Just now.

A faint yet clear martial arts imprint emanated from the void and entered Xuan Du's mind.

"Houtu...has personally come to the East Sea?"

Xuan Du slowly opened his eyes, his pupils swirling with chaotic light, reflecting the silent, surging chaotic energy deep within the cave.

The ancestral witch Houtu actually went to the shore of the East Sea at this time to ask to see me.

interesting.

"Suirenshi sent a message, saying that Houtu held the heart of the earth's veins to show her sincerity, and that she had important matters to discuss concerning the future of the Wu tribe and the human race, and the direction of the Great Tribulation..."

Xuan Du's thoughts raced.

The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are the main protagonists of this great calamity, locked in an irreconcilable conflict.

Afterwards, Tu is destined to undergo reincarnation, unlike the other ancestral witches.

What is her purpose in coming here at this time?

"Cooperation? Or... a test?"

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips.

Whatever Houtu's intentions may be, it wouldn't hurt to see her.

He slowly rose, his blue robes fluttering, and the primordial Daoist aura naturally subsided.

With one step, he was already outside the cave.

One more step... and we have traversed billions of miles of void, arriving at the shores of the East China Sea!

"Master!"

When the three members of the Suiren clan saw Xuandu appear, they all bowed and paid their respects, their eyes filled with excitement.

After a century apart, Master's aura has become even more profound and increasingly... unfathomable!

It's as if standing there, one becomes one with heaven and earth, yet transcends them.

This is... the Primordial Great Luo!

"Um."

Xuan Du nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three people before looking at the billions of humans behind him.

His blood and qi surged like a tide, his will was as vast as the sea, and his martial arts aura was boundless and powerful.

After a century of preaching, the strength of the human race... has increased several times over!

He nodded in satisfaction, then turned around to look at the pale yellow figure.

Eyes facing each other.

Houtu's clear eyes reflected Xuandu's calm and unwavering face.

She could clearly sense the primordial Daoist aura emanating from the Taoist in blue robes before her, a aura that transcended all laws and the Dao of Heaven.

What shook her to her core even more was...

The chaotic runes that were faintly flowing around Xuan Du were actually resonating subtly with the laws of the earth that she controlled!

Martial arts are indeed profound!

"Houtu Ancestral Witch".

Xuan Du spoke slowly, his voice calm:

"What brings you from so far?"

Houtu smiled slightly, and the light from the heart of the earth's veins flowed in her palm:

"Fellow Daoist Xuandu has attained the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, achieving immortality in martial arts, and humanity is destined to prosper... Houtu has come to offer her congratulations."

Xuan Du's eyes flickered slightly:

"Is that all?"

Houtu shook her head:

"No."

She paused, her voice turning somber:

"Yuanshi Tianzun... once went to Buzhou Mountain to persuade my Wu tribe to attack the spiritual veins on the shore of the East Sea, thus severing the foundation of the human race."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three Suirenshi members all changed drastically!

Yuanshi Tianzun... could he really be so ruthless?

Xuan Du's expression remained unchanged, only his eyes turned slightly cold:

"and then?"

Houtu slowly said:

"My witch clan... refuses."

She glanced at Xuandu, a profound meaning flashing in her eyes:

"Not only did he refuse, but he also used the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons to summon the phantom of Pangu, forcing Yuanshi to retreat."

Xuan Du raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Oh? Why?"

Houtu chuckled softly:

"Because... our Wu clan believes that cooperating with Fellow Daoist Xuandu and the human race is far wiser than listening to the words of Yuanshi and fighting to the death with you."

"cooperate?"

Xuan Du's eyes were deep and profound.

"How can we cooperate?"

Houtu slowly said:

"During the Great Tribulation, the decisive battle between the Lich and the Demon race will take place. The Demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array is the greatest obstacle to our Lich race."

"And your Chaos Divine Light can sweep away anything. It once forcefully broke through the defense of the Zhou Tian Star Array and even forced Di Jun to self-destruct thirty-six main stars."

She paused, then said, word by word:

"If, during the final battle, you, fellow Daoist, were to intervene and use the Chaos Divine Light to tear apart the Zhou Tian Star Array's defenses..."

"Then the phantom of Pangu summoned by my Witch Clan's Heavenly God and Demon Formation can be cleaved down with a single axe stroke, utterly crushing the demon race!"

"At that time, the demon race will be defeated and the witch race will become the overlord of the primordial world... and the human race can also take this opportunity to rise up completely and get rid of the fate of being eaten by blood."

Every word was clear and distinct.

Xuan Du remained silent for a moment, then slowly said:

Why should I help the witch clan?

Houtu's eyes were clear:

"Because the demon race... is also the mortal enemy of the human race."

"The demon race slaughtered thirty-seven tribes of humans, extracting their blood to forge swords; this hatred is irreconcilable."

"During the Great Tribulation, the Lich and Demon races will clash. If the Demon race wins, the Human race will face annihilation."

"Helping the witch clan is helping humanity itself."

She glanced at Xuandu, a profound meaning flashing in her eyes:

"Moreover... Fellow Daoist established the martial arts, passed it on to the human race, and gathered fortune. His aim is for the human race to stand on its own in the primordial world, no longer dependent on any sect or power."

"This has no conflict with the Witch Clan."

"What the Wu tribe wants is to defeat the demon tribe and become the overlord of the primordial world."

"What the human race wants is to rise among the myriad races of the primordial world."

"We... can each get what we need."

Xuan Du listened quietly, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

Houtu's words are all reasonable.

There is indeed no fundamental conflict between the Witch Clan and the Human Clan.

On the contrary, the demon race has a deep-seated hatred for the human race, a hatred that will never end.

During the Great Tribulation, the Lich King and the Demon King will clash. If the Demon King wins, the Human Race will perish.

If the Witch Clan wins... the Human Clan may be able to seize the opportunity to rise to power.

His own Chaos Divine Light could indeed counter the Zhou Tian Star Array.

If this can be exchanged for the goodwill of the witch clan towards the human race, or even their support... this deal is not a loss.

"good."

Xuan Du slowly uttered a single word, looking at Hou Tu:

"I agree to this."

Upon hearing this, Houtu was first taken aback, then her eyes lit up with unbelievable joy!

She was prepared to be rejected, delayed, or even bargained with.

After all, Xuandu has now attained the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, received the merits of the Great Dao, and his martial arts have become a major trend. The rise of the human race is just around the corner.

Looking at the long term, the human race has boundless potential, and with Xuan Du, the ancestor of martial arts, in charge, their future achievements may not be inferior to those of the witch race.

Why risk a deadly battle with the demon race during the Great Tribulation just for the sake of the witch race?

Moreover, the Chaos Divine Light is Xuandu's trump card. Once it is used in the final battle, it will be completely exposed, attracting the fear and targeting of the demon race and even the saints.

The price paid was considerable.

But Xuan Du... agreed so readily?

Her quick decision was so unexpected that she could hardly believe it.

"Fellow Daoist, is what you say...truly true?"

Houtu's gaze narrowed slightly as she looked into Xuandu's calm and unwavering eyes, her heart filled with doubt.
