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

Xuandu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He raised his eyes, looking out of the cave, towards the shore of the East China Sea, and towards the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele that stood between heaven and earth.

Above the Heavenly Stele, the true essence of martial arts flows endlessly, and golden light soars into the sky.

Beneath the Heavenly Stele, billions of human beings knelt before it, cultivating day and night without daring to slacken.

Those humans were all his disciples.

They were all children raised by Xuandu himself.

Nowadays, they practice martial arts, their cultivation levels have skyrocketed, and many powerful individuals have emerged.

In another hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years...

The human race will surely become the largest race in the primordial world.

Humanity will surely awaken.

At that time, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man will be in balance, and the primordial order will be reshaped.

The era of absolute supremacy of Heaven's Way is gone forever.

This is what he wanted.

Xuandu slowly withdrew his gaze.

He turned around and looked into the depths of the cave, at the Chaos Pearl floating in the void.

Fortunately, he had unlocked the total fortune of all the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Otherwise, they would not be able to obtain guidance to find the Chaos Pearl in the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

If it weren't for this pearl concealing the secrets of heaven, none of today's events would have escaped the sight of Hongjun Daozu's all-seeing eyes.

Hongjun will definitely notice, will definitely take action, and will definitely stop it.

At that time, not only will the Earth Book not be returned to its rightful place, but even the task of mending the heavens will likely encounter unexpected complications.

Xuandu sat cross-legged deep within the cave, his eyes slightly lowered, his thoughts churning.

He recalled the guidance he had received.

The moment the Intercepting Sect's fortune bestowed upon him, a voice and a light emanated from the depths of his Purple Mansion, pointing towards the deepest part of the Netherworld Blood Sea.

There, the Chaos Pearl lay dormant for billions of yuan, waiting for him to retrieve it.

Without that guidance, and without the combined blessing of the Intercepting Sect's fortune, he could traverse the Netherworld and the Blood Sea, but he would never have found this pearl.

This is the wondrous use of luck.

The stronger one's luck, the more opportunities one will have.

The more opportunities one has, the faster one's cultivation progresses.

The faster one's cultivation progresses, the greater one's fortune becomes.

This cycle has led to the situation we have today.

Xuan Du slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, the Chaos Pearl trembled slightly, its chaotic light flowing endlessly.

This pearl protected him completely, deceiving the Heavenly Dao and allowing him to escape Hongjun.

However, the pearl was eventually damaged and could not be concealed for long.

The reason they were able to deceive Hongjun this time was due to timing, scheming, and Yang Mei, the scapegoat.

What about next time?

What if Hongjun becomes suspicious again and investigates more thoroughly?

Can the Chaos Pearl still be kept secret?

Xuan Du's gaze narrowed slightly.

He recalled the guidance he had received.

The guiding light pointed deep into the Netherworld Blood Sea, towards the location of the Chaos Pearl.

But there was more than one guide.

When he first probed the pillar of fortune with his divine sense, he saw a scene: countless points of light flashing.

Every point of light represents an opportunity.

The point of light where the Chaos Pearl is located is the brightest, the largest, and the most intense.

So he chose that place.

What about the other light spots?

What about the other opportunities?

Xuan Du frowned slightly.

He was eager to break through, to prove his Dao, and to establish himself in the great calamity, so he chose the greatest opportunity to take action.

Deep within the Netherworld Blood Sea, having obtained the Chaos Pearl, he had no time to concern himself with anything else.

Looking back now, it's a pity.

Although those points of light were not as intense as the Chaos Pearl, they were extraordinary because they could manifest under the guidance of destiny.

Innate spiritual treasure?

A supreme innate treasure?

Chaos Spiritual Treasure?

Or was it some special opportunity, some divine intervention, or some existence that even he couldn't deduce?

Xuan Du didn't know.

But he must know.

Although Hongjun was attracted to Yang Mei, Yang Mei was not in the prehistoric world after all.

Once Hongjun regains his senses and carefully analyzes the situation, he may well discover some clues.

If Hongjun makes a move at that time, what will he use to block it?

Cultivation level?

Even those at the second level of the Primordial Chaos Realm are nothing more than ants before Hongjun.

Scheme?

Hongjun has lived for countless years; what schemes hasn't he seen?

Luck?

Even if the Jie Sect's fortunes are at their peak, can it withstand the will of Heaven?

Unstoppable.

The only thing that can stop it is the Chaos Pearl.

However, the Chaos Pearl was damaged and could not be completely concealed.

The only solution is to repair the Chaos Pearl.

But the Chaos Pearl is a supreme treasure of chaos, how can it be repaired?

What materials are needed?

What kind of opportunity is needed?

What kind of fortune is needed?

Xuan Du's eyes flickered slightly.

The answer may lie within those points of light.

Those places marked by the guidance of destiny may hold the key to repairing the Chaos Pearl.

Or perhaps, it holds other treasures, other opportunities, other trump cards that can turn the tide at crucial moments.

Xuan Du took a deep breath, suppressing the surging thoughts in his heart.

Seeking opportunities requires careful consideration.

But there is one thing that cannot wait.

human race.

Xuandu raised his eyes and looked out of the cave, towards the shore of the East Sea.

The Martial Arts Heavenly Stele still stands tall, its golden light piercing the sky.

Beneath the Heavenly Stele, billions of human beings knelt before it, cultivating day and night without daring to slacken.

Those humans were all his disciples.

Since he began spreading his teachings, humans have taken him as their master, joined the Jie Sect, and cultivated martial arts, growing stronger day by day.

The human race today numbers far more than billions upon billions of what it once was.

Even if all the immortals of the Jie Sect were combined, they wouldn't amount to even a fraction of the human population.

This is the foundation upon which Xuandu stands.

Xuan Du's thoughts stirred slightly.

Deep within the Purple Mansion between the eyebrows, the Chaos Pearl trembled slightly, its chaotic light flowing endlessly.

His divine sense reached out and surged into the world inside the pearl like a tide.

......

The Chaos Pearl World.

The sky is infinitely high, and the earth is infinitely thick.

The mountains stretch endlessly, the rivers rush and flow, vegetation flourishes, and the spiritual energy is like mist.

Above the sky, the sun, moon, and stars revolve in an orderly fashion, their radiance stable and dazzling.

The entire world is completely different from when Xuandu first stepped into it.

The mountains and rivers are solid and stable, the vegetation is lush, and the concentration of spiritual energy is more than ten times that of the outside world.

In the center of this vast world, a majestic peak rises abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds.

At the summit of the giant peak, three figures sat cross-legged.

Suiren's family.

Youchao clan.

Zhen Yishi.

The three of them exuded a vast and boundless aura, their crimson-gold martial arts essence flowing endlessly like a tangible substance, subtly resonating with the entire world.

The strength, purity, and domineering nature of that aura surpassed the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and it was only a hair's breadth away from stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm!

Behind the three, 100,000 figures were scattered throughout the giant peak, some sitting cross-legged, some standing with their hands behind their backs, some practicing martial arts, and some comprehending the laws.

Each figure was surrounded by a surge of crimson-gold blood energy, their martial will soaring to the heavens.

Even the weakest of those auras was at the Profound Immortal realm!

The strong ones are already at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm, the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm, or even the middle stage of the Golden Immortal realm!

Ten thousand true immortals entered, and cultivated for a hundred years.

One day outside is equivalent to a hundred days inside.

Since the elite humans entered the Chaos Pearl world to cultivate, only a little over a year has passed in the outside world.

A century has passed since the time of Kezhu Nei World.

A full century.

After a century of arduous cultivation, all 100,000 True Immortals have broken through to the next level!

Xuan Du's divine sense swept over the area, and a slight thought stirred within him.

Suirenshi, a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Youchao was at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The Ziyi Clan, at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The three of them possessed perfect auras and solid foundations, and were only one step away from becoming quasi-saints.

The remaining human elites, those who entered as True Immortals, are now at least at the Profound Immortal realm.

There are no fewer than 30,000 peak-level Xuanxian cultivators.

There are no fewer than five thousand people at the initial stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

There are also several hundred people in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Furthermore, there are a few geniuses who were already Xuanxian or Jinxian when they entered the realm, and now they have reached the peak of Jinxian, only one step away from Taiyi Jinxian.

It elevates the whole to a higher level.

No, there is more than one major realm.

Ten thousand true immortals entered, and cultivated for a hundred years.

Without the blessing of good fortune, the nourishment of spiritual energy, the inheritance of martial arts, and the support of the laws personally laid out by Xuandu, even if time were to flow at a faster pace, it would be difficult to achieve such success.

But ironically, they have all of these things.

He was blessed with the fortune of the Jie Sect, protected by the fortune of the human race, guided by the true meaning of martial arts, and nourished by the primordial Daoist essence.

In addition, the Chaos Pearl world has a time flow rate a hundred times faster and a spiritual energy concentration far exceeding that of the outside world.

With so many opportunities converging, it would be strange if a breakthrough still couldn't be achieved.

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips.

The smile was faint, yet it carried an undisguised satisfaction.

With such elite forces, what is there to worry about in the human race not prospering?

With this foundation, how can humanity not awaken?

Xuan Du's mind stirred slightly, and his divine sense continued to spread like a tide, carefully scanning every human cultivator.

After a moment, he nodded slightly.

The foundation is solid.

The breath is complete.

The path is clear.

No one suffered from qi deviation, no one had a weak foundation, and no one's path to enlightenment was obstructed.

This is because martial arts training focuses on unlocking one's own potential and breaking free from the shackles of the physical body.

Qi and blood are the furnace, willpower is the fire; only by tempering oneself can one achieve transcendence.

Spiritual energy is merely an auxiliary factor, not the fundamental one.

Therefore, the foundation of human martial arts practitioners is far more solid than that of immortal cultivators.

In addition, with the martial arts essence personally laid out by Xuandu, those Daoist charms lingered around him every day. Even without deliberate comprehension, they could subtly influence and solidify his Dao foundation.

With this foundation, there will be fewer bottlenecks when attempting to reach higher levels in the future.

Xuan Du withdrew his divine sense, his eyes flickering slightly.

The three members of the Suiren clan were only one step away from becoming quasi-saints.

This step is both difficult and easy.

Without the right opportunity, without sudden enlightenment, without that crucial final step, even if one is trapped at the peak of the Great Luo realm for billions of yuan, one will not be able to take that step.

However, if one has the opportunity, the sudden enlightenment, or the right chance, one can break through in a single day and become a quasi-saint.

Xuan Du pondered for a moment, and then he had a plan in mind.

To reach the Quasi-Saint realm, one must sever the Three Corpses.

The three members of the Suiren clan practiced martial arts, taking the path of self-discovery and breaking free from shackles, which was completely different from the path of immortal cultivators.

Their path to quasi-sainthood lies not in severing the three corpses, but in breaking through realms.

Break through the limits of the physical body, break through the shackles of qi and blood, break through the barriers of will.

At that time, one's blood and qi will be as vast as the sea, one's will as strong as the sky, and one's physical body as radiant as the stars. Every punch and kick will be able to shake the laws of nature and reverberate through the void.

That is the quasi-saint of martial arts.

Xuan Du's eyes brightened slightly.

He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

We eagerly await the moment when the three Suirenshi take that step.

At that time, the human race will have three quasi-saints in charge.

With the help of the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, the fortune of the human race, and the protection of the Jie Sect, even a sage might not be unable to fight.

Xuan Du took a deep breath, suppressing the surging thoughts in his heart.

Not urgent.

The three members of the Suiren clan have just reached the peak of the Great Luo realm. They still need to consolidate their foundation, accumulate resources, and wait for an opportunity.

Forcing a breakthrough is not a good thing.

Let them continue their cultivation in the Chaos Pearl world.

One year outside is equivalent to a century inside the world.

Ten years outside the world is a thousand years inside.

At that time, let alone Quasi-Saints, there will probably be more than just the three Suirenshi at the peak of the Great Luo realm.

As for why the three members of the Suiren clan were not allowed to follow the path of Hunyuan, but instead were allowed to follow the path of Quasi-Saints...
