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

Xuan Du's thoughts stirred slightly.

Humanity has now embarked on the path of martial arts, and with the Martial Arts Heavenly Stele in place, its traditions will never be broken.

With billions of humans practicing martial arts, their strength will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds.

At that time, the cultivation level fed back through the [Summarization System] will surely experience a terrifying surge!

Breaking through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm might not take long at all.

Once they emerge from seclusion, their strength will reach a new level, and they will have a greater chance of participating in the Lich War.

and......

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

The Lich War, though a great calamity for heaven and earth, also contains boundless opportunities.

If we can devise a plan to recruit several quasi-saint level experts into the Jie Sect...

The impact on his cultivation level would be unimaginable!

This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

"Disciple understands."

Xuan Du bowed again, his voice solemn.

"Thank you for your protection, Master. I will definitely go into seclusion to hone my Dao heart, solidify my foundation, and live up to your expectations."

The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Go."

He waved his hand and said no more.

Xuan Du bowed respectfully, then turned and left Biyou Palace.

Watching Xuandu's departing figure, the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes were deep as he gazed at the vast and boundless primordial world outside the palace.

The aura of impending doom is growing stronger.

......

Outside Biyou Palace.

On the plaza, the disciples were still waiting anxiously.

As the palace gates opened, Xuan Du slowly walked out, and the crowd immediately surrounded him.

"Junior Brother Xuandu!"

"How is it? Your master didn't blame you, did he?"

"Is something the matter?"

Bixiao, being the most impatient, was the first to rush to Xuandu, her pretty face full of concern.

Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Zhao Gongming, and others also cast inquiring glances their way.

Xuan Du looked at the concerned faces before him and felt a warmth in his heart.

He smiled slightly, looking relaxed, and waved his hand.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, there is no need to worry."

His voice was calm and composed.

"My master did not blame me, but he noticed my recent actions and felt something in his heart, and his Dao realm became somewhat loose."

"My master told me to find a quiet place to go into seclusion for a period of time to consolidate my cultivation and temper my mind."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see!"

Bixiao patted her chest, let out a long breath, and a smile returned to her pretty face.

"I knew it! How could Master blame Junior Brother Xuandu!"

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily.

"Great news! Great news indeed! Junior Brother Xuandu has only recently attained the Hunyuan realm; this is precisely the time when he needs to consolidate his knowledge!"

"After a period of seclusion, you'll definitely reach even greater heights!"

Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, and others nodded in agreement, their faces showing relief.

The Master's decision to have Xuandu go into seclusion was both an act of care and a sign of his high regard for him.

This shows that Xuandu holds a very high position in his master's heart and has a promising future.

"Where does Junior Brother Xuandu plan to go into seclusion?"

Daoist Duobao asked, his tone concerned.

"If needed, I can help you choose an excellent burial site."

Xuan Du smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, but there's no need to trouble yourself."

His gaze swept across the peaks of Jin'ao Island, finally settling on a majestic, precipitous mountain shrouded in spiritual energy.

"I observed that the mountain peak there was full of spiritual energy and naturally imbued with Taoist charm. It was quite tranquil, so I decided to build my cave there."

Following his gaze, everyone saw that the mountain peak soared into the clouds, its summit hidden in the mist, with waterfalls and springs flowing, and spirit birds circling around it—truly an excellent place for cultivation.

"That is 'Lingyun Peak,' which was originally one of the cave dwellings that direct disciples could choose. Its spiritual energy is among the best on Jin'ao Island."

Daoist Duobao laughed.

"Junior brother has good taste."

Xuan Du nodded slightly, and without further delay, cupped his hands to the crowd.

"Then I will take my leave first. When I emerge from seclusion, I will drink and chat with all my fellow disciples."

"Alright! Take care, junior brother!"

"Wishing you a successful seclusion and great progress in your cultivation, junior brother!"

Everyone returned the greeting and watched as Xuandu transformed into a streak of azure light, speeding towards Lingyun Peak.

......

At the summit of Lingyun Peak.

Xuan Du landed, his feet on the bluestone, and looked around.

But one could see the sea of ​​clouds churning, the mist swirling, cranes soaring, and pines and cypresses evergreen.

In the distance, Biyou Palace stands majestically, its grandeur ever-changing.

A nearby spring gurgles and a rare flower exudes fragrance.

It is indeed an excellent place for spiritual practice.

Xuan Du no longer hesitated. With a thought, the power of Hunyuan surged forth.

"open!"

He pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed them across the mountainside in front of him.

In just a short while, the basic shape of a spacious cave dwelling appeared.

Xuandu stepped into the cave. The stone walls were as smooth as a mirror, with Dao patterns naturally emerging, subtly resonating with the spiritual energy outside.

"It's right here."

Xuan Du nodded slightly, his mind racing again.

He took out several array flags that he had prepared beforehand and pointed them out one after another in the void around the cave.

"Buzz!"

The array flags disappeared into the void, instantly drawing upon the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Mysterious array patterns emerged from the void, intertwining into a net that enveloped the entire cave.

Concealment formations, spirit-gathering formations, defensive formations... multiple layers of formations are stacked on top of each other.

Xuandu used all the formations in the Shangqing cultivation method that were helpful for cultivation.

Instantly, the concentration of spiritual energy within the cave surged again, almost turning into a liquid state.

All external prying and interference were completely cut off.

Of course, this arrangement is just for show.

"How can self-cultivation compare to the rapid feedback from the [Summary System]?"

Although he has already achieved the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal and possesses the background of a mid-level Chaos Demon God, his comprehension, aptitude, and perception of the rules of heaven and earth are all among the best in the primordial world.

If one were to quietly retreat into seclusion, absorb spiritual energy, and comprehend the Great Dao, one's progress would certainly be hundreds or thousands of times faster than that of ordinary cultivators.

But what is this speed compared to the almost unreasonable feedback of the [Sum of Systems]?

The journey from the shores of the East China Sea back to Jin'ao Island, and then to entering the Lingyun Peak Cave, took only a few hours.

Such a short time.

Xuandu clearly felt that his cultivation, which had already been stabilized at the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, had increased significantly!

"This is... the total feedback from billions of humans starting to cultivate martial arts..."

Xuan Du murmured to himself, a barely suppressed fervor flashing in his eyes.

The Martial Arts Monument has been erected, and the foundation for its inheritance has been solidified.

On the shores of the East China Sea, countless people of all races are probably already eagerly heading to the Heavenly Stele to observe, try to draw in Qi into their bodies, and embark on the path of martial arts cultivation.

Although the vast majority of them are just mortals, and many of them may not even be able to break through to the level of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation in their entire lives.

But the sheer number of them is overwhelming!

Even if each of the billions of human beings contributes only a tiny, almost negligible amount of cultivation feedback.

Through the convergence and superposition of the heaven-defying laws of the [Summarization System], what was ultimately fed back to him was a vast power that was enough to move even a Primordial Golden Immortal!

This is just the beginning.

As time went by, the overall strength of the human race continued to improve, and more and more people stepped into the realm of martial arts, achieving ever higher levels of cultivation...

At that time, how terrifying will the total cultivation level that comes back be?

Mid-stage, late-stage, or peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm?

Even... the legendary realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal might not be out of reach!

"At this speed..."

Xuan Du's mind stirred slightly as he silently sensed the continuous, slow yet unwavering growth of the Primordial Chaos Power within his body.

"At most a hundred years... no, perhaps only a few decades, and I will naturally break through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!"

If word of this speed were to spread, it would be enough to shock the entire prehistoric world and leave all the sages speechless.

The existence of a Primordial Golden Immortal for a century is an unprecedented miracle.

If it takes another few decades to break through a minor realm...

That was no longer a miracle, but a complete defying of the heavens, a subversion of the understanding of all cultivators in the primordial world!

"Seclusion? To temper one's mind?"

A faint smile appeared on Xuan Du's lips.

"It's just for show."

"With the feedback from billions of human cultivators, why should I need to cultivate diligently?"

"Just wait quietly, and your cultivation will come like a surging tide."

"but......"

Then Xuan Du's thoughts settled, and he asked himself:

"System, what is the task to unlock the next feature?"
