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

Outside the Demon Court, silence returned.

But the invisible oppression and shock lingered for a long time.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were both deathly pale. They exchanged a silent glance and saw in each other's eyes... shock and helplessness.

"Walk."

Di Jun's voice was hoarse. Without glancing at Xuan Du and Fu Xi again, he turned and flew towards the depths of the Demon Court.

His figure was desolate, his steps heavy.

Donghuang Taiyi gritted his teeth, gripping the Chaos Bell tightly. The bell hummed, but he ultimately dared not utter another word.

He glared fiercely at Xuandu, his eyes filled with hatred, fear, and a hint of awe that even he himself was unwilling to admit. Then he transformed into golden light and followed Dijun away.

The remaining starlight of the Zhou Tian Star Array quietly receded, and the radiance of the Demon Court Palace dimmed, as if it had lost all its vitality in an instant.

In the void, Xuandu slowly withdrew his gaze.

Nuwa's departure did not stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.

Deposing her as the Holy Mother and severing the fate of the human race was part of his plan.

He only has himself to blame.

"Fellow Daoist."

Xuandu turned around and looked at Fuxi behind him, his gaze calm:

"Nuwa has departed, and the Demon Court has retreated."

"Now that you have joined my Jie Sect, you are a member of my Jie Sect."

"Come back to Jin'ao Island with me, meet the Master, and formally join the sect."

Fuxi bowed slightly, his expression solemn:

"I will obey the Vice Leader's orders."

He paused, then looked up at Xuan Du, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes:

"However... today's events arose because of Fuxi, causing the Vice Leader to become sworn enemies with the Sage Nuwa, and also expending the Vice Leader's energy and stirring up the will of the human race..."

"Fuxi...is deeply troubled."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du waved his hand:

"It's alright."

"Nuwa and I have always been on different paths. Even without you today, we will surely have a battle one day."

"As for inciting the will of humanity..."

A faint smile appeared on Xuan Du's lips:

"That's not about expending effort, but rather... going with the flow."

"The will of humanity is awakening, and the torrent of humanity is converging; this is the inevitable trend."

"I merely guided this trend slightly."

Fuxi's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood.

Xuan Du established martial arts, passed it on to the human race, and gathered fortune. His purpose was far more than simply to make the human race stronger.

What he wanted was to completely awaken humanity.

Unfortunately, the tunnel has not yet been awakened, so we need to make some plans.

"The Vice Master's wisdom and foresight are admirable."

Fuxi bowed sincerely.

Xuan Du nodded slightly and said no more.

With a flick of his sleeve, the primordial Daoist energy flowed naturally, enveloping Fuxi's figure.

"Walk."

As the single word was uttered, a crack silently appeared in the void.

Xuandu stepped inside, with Fuxi following closely behind.

The two figures vanished instantly outside the Demon Court, leaving behind only a desolate void and the slowly healing spatial rift.

......

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood atop the palace with his hands behind his back, his blue robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes flashing like lightning as he gazed towards the direction of the Demon Court.

Although I was not present at the battle just now, how sharp is the sage's divine sense?

Nuwa's divine might erupted, the primordial Daoist energy of Xuandu soared into the sky, and the torrent of human will swept through heaven and earth... everything was within his perception.

"Good lad..."

A carefree smile slowly crept onto Tongtian's lips:

"By stripping Nuwa of her title as Holy Mother, her sacred realm plummeted, and her foundation crumbled..."

"Such methods, such spirit... truly worthy of being my disciple, Tongtian!"

He saw it clearly.

Xuandu's actions today are by no means reckless.

Instead, after careful consideration, she used the matter of Fuxi as a pretext to launch an attack, using the will of the human race as a weapon to sever the karmic ties between Nuwa and the human race in one fell swoop, and abolish her authority as the Holy Mother.

This not only dealt a heavy blow to Nuwa, but also declared to all the saints of the prehistoric world that the human race was no longer a pawn to be manipulated!

With Xuandu and the support of the will of billions of humans, who would dare to underestimate the Jie Sect in the great calamity to come?

"Buzz..."

The void rippled slightly, and two figures stepped out from the crack.

It was Xuandu and Fuxi.

"Master."

Xuan Du bowed slightly.

Fuxi followed closely behind and solemnly bowed:

"Fuxi pays respects to the Sage of Tongtian."

The Master of the Heavens nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Fuxi, his gentle demeanor carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Once you join the Jie Sect, you are a member of our Jie Sect."

He paused, his voice calm yet clear:

"Both the Black Tortoise of the North Sea and the Kunpeng are protectors of our Jie Sect, guarding the four directions and upholding the lineage."

"Your cultivation has reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, and you are proficient in divination. You can become the third protector of my Jie Sect."

"Ranked below the Vice Leader and above all immortals."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Daoist energy flowed through Biyou Palace, as if an invisible mark was descending from the void, silently blessing Fuxi's overall fortune.

That was the recognition of the destiny of the Jie Sect, and the position of protector bestowed upon him by the Tongtian Sect Leader with the authority of a saint.

Fuxi remained calm, as he had anticipated this.

He had already predicted this day when the Black Tortoise of the North Sea and the Kunpeng joined the Jie Sect.

Hearing it with my own ears now, I feel no turmoil, only calm acceptance.

"Fuxi obeys the decree of the Master."

He respectfully agreed, his moon-white robe fluttering slightly, and the gentle, illuminating Daoist aura emanating from his body subtly resonated with the vast and powerful aura of the Jie Sect within Biyou Palace.

From then on, he became a protector of the Jie Sect.

Enjoy the fortune of the Jie Sect, inherit the cause and effect of the Jie Sect, and protect the tradition of the Jie Sect.

"good."

The Tongtian Sect Leader slightly raised his hand, and a wisp of azure sword intent entered Fuxi's brow:

"This is the Dharma Protection Token of our Jie Sect. Holding this token allows one to activate some of the restrictions on Jin'ao Island, and also to borrow a wisp of sword intent from the Zhuxian Sword Formation to protect oneself."

"You may step back and familiarize yourself with the place."

"Yes."

Fuxi bowed again, said no more, and slowly walked out of Biyou Palace.

The moon-white figure gradually walked away, eventually disappearing into the misty, ethereal fog outside the palace.

Biyou Palace returned to silence.

The Tongtian Sect Leader slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Xuandu.

His green robes fluttered in the wind, his black hair flowed over his shoulders, and his primordial Daoist aura was perfectly harmonious and unimpeded. Martial Daoist runes of a chaotic color flowed around his body, as if he had merged with this world, yet transcended it.

A hundred years of cultivation, from an ordinary mortal to a Primordial Great Luo.

From being alone to carrying the will of billions of people, abolishing Laozi's human religion, and severing Nuwa's position as the Holy Mother.

Such achievements and such spirit could not help but evoke feelings of satisfaction and admiration even in a sage like Tongtian who had witnessed countless storms throughout the primordial world.

"Xuan Du".

Tongtian spoke slowly, his voice gentle:

"What you have done today has shaken the very foundations of the universe."

"The abolition of Nuwa's position as Holy Mother and the sharp decline in her holy realm will surely arouse the fear of all the saints, and even attract the attention of the Dao Ancestor."

"We must be more cautious in our future actions."

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"Disciple understands."

His gaze was calm as he looked out into the endless void beyond the palace, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

Having embarked on this path against the heavens, one is already prepared to contend with the saints, the heavenly way, and even the great way.

Nuwa was just the first one.

This will certainly not be the last one.

Seeing his composed expression, Tongtian secretly praised him but said nothing more.

With Xuandu's current cultivation level and temperament, he naturally knows his limits.

however.

Just as Tongtian was about to ask Xuandu about his next plans, he saw Xuandu's brows furrow slightly, and a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed in his eyes.

The fluctuation was very brief, as if it were just a momentary lapse in concentration.

How perceptive is Ke Tongtian?

Under the sage's divine sense, no subtle change can escape his perception.

"Xuan Du".

Tongtian's gaze narrowed slightly, and a hint of concern appeared in his voice:

"But what troubles might there be on the path of cultivation?"

He could clearly sense that just a moment ago, the primordial Daoist aura around Xuandu had experienced an extremely brief period of disorder.

Although it subsided quickly, it was by no means ordinary.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du slowly came to his senses.

The moment Fuxi officially joined the Jie Sect, the long-dormant Sum System within him finally emitted a clear notification:

[Ding! A being with profound spiritual energy (Fuxi) has been detected joining the Jie Sect.]

[Task completed!]
