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

Xuandu stopped looking at the extremely gloomy-faced Yuanshi Tianzun, and also ignored Laozi who was silent with his eyes closed.

He slowly turned around, completely ignoring the gazes of the two saints behind him.

The blue robes fluttered in the lingering sacred breeze, yet the hem remained perfectly in place.

Below, the three ancient sages of the human race, Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi, are looking up at him.

Xuan Du's gaze swept over the three old men's weathered and etched faces, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart completely vanished.

He raised his right hand, his fingers forming a sword shape, and a clear, ethereal light flowed from his fingertips, naturally condensing the primordial Daoist essence.

This time, there was no hesitation, no reservation.

He pointed at the Third Patriarch from afar.

"Buzz!"

Three orbs of light, far more condensed than before, burst forth from his fingertips.

The ball of light flew away lightly, ignoring the three holy powers that were still intertwined and confronting each other in the sky.

It entered the space between the eyebrows of Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, and Ziyishi without any hindrance!

In an instant!

"boom!"

The bodies of the three patriarchs trembled violently at the same time!

Three distinct yet shared auras surged into the sky!

Although it is not even a fraction of the power of a sage, it carries an unprecedented vitality and an indomitable will!

That is the Dao that belongs exclusively to the human race!

It is a path rooted in our blood, flourishing in civilization, and pointing towards the future!

Skyrim.

The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was extremely grim, with an uncontrollable murderous aura emanating from its iron-blue complexion.

He watched as the three orbs of light smoothly entered the bodies of the three ancestors. The Jade Purity Immortal Light in his sleeve flickered several times, and the auspicious clouds of the heavens churned violently.

stop?

How could he not want to stop it?

Xuan Du was practically defying fate right under his nose!

Once this method spreads, the human race will inevitably break free from control and completely side with the Jie Sect.

The balance of the Three Pure Ones will be shattered, and his doctrine of following the will of Heaven and selecting followers will become a laughing stock!

But Nuwa's words just now are like a divine decree, still ringing in my ears!

"The tradition of teacher-student relationship! The natural order and ethical principles!"

More importantly, Xuandu's piercing question brought the matter of the Dao Ancestor's transmission of the Dao to the forefront!

If he were to intervene now, it would no longer be a simple ideological dispute.

Instead, they openly questioned the legitimacy of the Dao Ancestor's transmission of the Dao and challenged the universally acknowledged ironclad rule of master-disciple inheritance in the prehistoric world!

Even if Yuanshi were a saint, he absolutely could not bear the consequences of this karma!

Although the Dao Ancestor was in harmony with the Dao, he rarely revealed himself to the world.

But once the root cause is touched, the consequences...

When Yuanshi Tianzun recalled the vast heavenly might emanating from that blurry figure when he listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace, his heart trembled.

He clenched his fists tightly, but ultimately couldn't utter another word, nor dared to release even a trace of pressure to interfere.

We could only watch helplessly.

aside.

Lao Tzu's eyes remained slightly closed, as if he were indifferent to everything around him.

Xuandu's series of combined moves today, especially the final move of raising the banner of the Dao Ancestor's sermon, were truly impressive.

The cost of obstruction was so heavy that even with his status as the Supreme Saint of Taiqing, he had no choice but to... temporarily back down.

He slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze fell on the figure in blue on the altar, then swept over the three ancestors below whose auras were undergoing transformation.

His face, as calm as still water, remained unreadable.

But deep in those eyes, a very faint ripple remained, which could not be completely smoothed out.

He slightly raised his hand, as if he wanted to do something.

But in the end, the raised hand merely brushed away non-existent dust from the sleeve.

Then, silence returned once more.

They acquiesced.

Nuwa stood atop auspicious clouds, her colorful robes fluttering, surrounded by divine light.

She took in the rage and repression of the primordial era, and the silence and deduction of Lao Tzu.

Her exquisitely beautiful face still held an air of detached indifference.

It was as if the fate of the billions of people below had little to do with her, their creator.

But she knew in her heart that what happened today was already a done deal.

Xuandu seized this opportunity to not only secure a path for the human race to become stronger.

Furthermore, it invisibly bound the human race, the Jie Sect, and Xuandu himself together even more closely.

Although her words were meant to protect herself, they inadvertently helped Xuandu.

This completely blocked any possibility of Yuanshi and Laozi interfering at present.

This cause and effect...

She glanced at Xuandu, then at the three ancestors below who were beginning to exude different auras, her eyes flickering slightly.

That's it.

It's always better for humanity to become strong than to be devoured by demons and be completely annihilated.

For her, attaining sainthood may not necessarily be a bad thing.

But Xuan Du's cunning, his extraordinary methods, and his immense fortune...

In the future, he will likely be a part of the vast universe.

She looked away, her figure slowly fading, the surrounding divine light receding, as she prepared to disappear.

To leave without a trace of cause and effect after accomplishing one's task is the true nature of a sage.

......

At the top of the altar.

Xuandu took in the reactions of the three sages in the sky.

The pent-up frustration and rage of the Primordial Beginning, the tacit approval of Laozi, and the transcendent departure of Nuwa.

He felt no great pride, only a sense of relief and solemnity.

The first step has finally been taken.

For the human race, they seized this most crucial glimmer of hope!

He no longer paid attention to the saint, and his gaze returned to what was below.

At this time, the strange phenomena surrounding the Third Patriarch gradually subsided.

Their aura has undergone a tremendous change.

The aura that had been forcibly enhanced by the merits of Heaven had completely stabilized.

"How does it feel?"

Upon seeing this, Xuandu spoke, his voice calm.

Suirenshi was the first to regain his senses, feeling the new power within him that perfectly matched his own bloodline.

So excited his beard trembled, he wanted to kneel down again:

"Master Xuandu! This cultivation technique... this cultivation technique is simply tailor-made for our human race!"

"The flow of Qi and blood, the coordinated movement of muscles and bones, from the outside in, from the shallow to the deep..."

"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Youchao slammed his fist heavily into his chest, producing a dull, drum-like sound, and grinned:

"I feel incredibly energetic!"

"This cultivation method...does not rely on the amount of innate spiritual energy, but focuses more on tapping into one's own potential and tempering the body and spirit!"

"Perfectly suits the current state of our human race!"

As Ziyi carefully comprehended the supple, enduring, and ever-renewing essence of the cultivation technique, her beautiful eyes shone with extraordinary brilliance:

"This exercise combines strength and gentleness, and is not just about brute force. It also has the effects of nourishing and repairing, and prolonging life."

"Master...you have paved a truly viable path for our human race!"

Xuandu nodded slightly; this was precisely his understanding gained from combining the techniques of the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Jie Sect.

Then, based on his own chaotic demon god origins, he deduced a path tailored for the generally shallow-founded human race.

Do not rely on external things, focus on becoming stronger yourself.

"This method is to enter the Dao through martial arts, temper oneself, explore the great secrets of the human body, and ultimately achieve physical sainthood and break through all laws."

Xuandu's gaze swept over the three ancestors, then turned to the countless pairs of yearning and burning eyes, his voice clearly resounding throughout the surrounding area:

Therefore, I named it...

He paused slightly, and then, word by word, imprinted himself deep into the hearts of every human being:

"Martial arts!"

"May our human race, based on this martial art, strengthen our bodies and bolster our courage, and carve out a bright and prosperous future for ourselves on this vast and desolate land!"

"boom!"

The moment the words fell, the hundreds of millions of humans below, though they had not yet begun their cultivation, were instantly ignited by the word "martial arts"!

"Martial arts!"

"Martial Arts!!"

"Martial Arts!!!"

At first, there were scattered shouts, but they quickly merged into a chorus, eventually transforming into a wave of sound that swept across the heavens and the earth!

Suirenshi took a deep breath and suddenly raised the firewood staff in his hand high!

The blazing flames surged again, illuminating his resolute face.

He turned to face his millions of people and, with all his might, roared at the top of his lungs:

"Human warriors! Master Xuandu has paved the way for us and bestowed upon us the martial arts!"

"From this day forward, we shall diligently cultivate our martial arts and strive for continuous self-improvement!"

"I will no longer be a lamb to the slaughter! I will no longer be an ant living in constant fear!"

"We, the human race, shall fight with our fists and our weapons to forge our dignity and our future!"

"Strengthen ourselves through military might! May humanity prosper forever!"

"Strengthen ourselves through military might! May humanity prosper forever!!"

A deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, rose into the sky once more, shaking the heavens!
