Guarding the ancient human race for a thousand years, yet ridiculed by the world.

Chapter 10 Simplifying Complexity, Returning to Simplicity

People were so happy that they forgot about home, and some were even unwilling to return to their human settlements.

Although Lin Xuan has completely broken the seal, the residual power of the seal still remains, preventing the demon race from invading.

So, they can only wait!

As more and more humans come to the outside world!

Meanwhile, within the human tribes, people increasingly trusted Taiqing.

Almost everyone has started cultivating the Golden Elixir Path!

As for the Sage King's Method that Lin Xuan once taught, it has long been forgotten by the human race...

People today only know the Golden Elixir Path, but not the Sage Ruler's Method.

A group of human children were born, and generation after generation, the children, like the adults, despised the so-called holy ruler of the human race.

They played in the human tribe, and occasionally when they passed by the dilapidated temple of the Holy King, they couldn't help but spit.

……

Saintly King Peak.

On this day, Lin Xuan woke up from his seclusion.

He opened his eyes and murmured, "Mythical Great Luo Law..."

"Simplify the complex..."

"What... should we do...?"

Lin Xuan frowned deeply.

Over the course of a century, through Lin Xuan's cultivation, he has re-cultivated to the peak of the Qi Refining stage.

The completion of the Qi Refining stage means the completion of refining essence into Qi.

His body no longer contained innate spiritual energy, but ancestral energy.

However, once he reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage, Lin Xuan discovered that he could no longer make any further progress.

Unable to break through the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage.

This caused Lin Xuan a great deal of distress.

However, during these hundred years, Lin Xuan also gained some new insights.

To achieve a breakthrough, one must simplify the complex...

However, Lin Xuan still has no clue how to simplify the complex.

Lin Xuan's thoughts were in turmoil, so he stopped thinking about it.

He walked out of the thatched hut with his hands behind his back.

This was the first time in a century that Lin Xuan had stepped out of his thatched hut.

Reaching the top of the cliff, Lin Xuan looked down through the clouds.

In the valley, people were laughing and chatting, working enthusiastically to build more statues and temples for Taiqing...

Seeing this, Lin Xuan remained calm throughout.

He had long since lost all hope in the human race, his heart as still as a deep well...

Now, his heart is filled only with spiritual practice...

However, how to break through this barrier is the biggest problem Lin Xuan is facing now.

"Simplify the complex...return to simplicity..."

Sitting on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the clouds and mountains, Lin Xuan suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.

"Back to basics?"

Lin Xuanmeng's eyes flashed with dazzling divine light!

"Return to simplicity, return to simplicity—"

"Hahaha--"

Lin Xuan smiled!

He got it!

It turns out that to break through, one must return to simplicity!

The so-called simplification is simply returning to the basics!

In other words, if Lin Xuan wants to make further breakthroughs, he needs to experience the life of an ordinary person again!

Only in this way can we achieve a breakthrough!

"Experiencing ordinary life?"

Lin Xuan suddenly frowned.

Looking down at the valley below, Lin Xuan shook his head.

Now that he is despised by the world, it won't be easy for him to integrate into ordinary life.

However, Lin Xuan had no intention of returning to the human tribe.

Instead, he plans to start a new life on this Holy Monarch Peak.

Lin Xuan did not use his magic power. Instead, he made his own tools and hunted in the mountains every day to make a living, just like an ordinary person.

And so, another ten years passed.

Ten years have passed, and Lin Xuan's hair has grown much longer, while his beard is now messy.

But he was very clean.

Inside the thatched hut, beds, tables, and chairs were added.

They were all made by Lin Xuan himself.

Lin Xuan did not sense any opportunity for a breakthrough.

So he continued to live the life of an ordinary person.

Every day, they light fires and cook, and in their spare time, they sit on the cliff top and watch the clouds drift by.

Life is pleasant and leisurely...

However, Lin Xuan's peaceful life was soon disrupted.

On this day, a woman covered in wounds stumbled into Saint King Peak.

The woman was barely clothed, and her wounds were shocking. She was lying unconscious on a rock.

Lin Xuan exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly put down his longbow, and ran over.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

Lin Xuan swayed the woman.

The woman had exquisite features and was exceptionally beautiful. Even the scars on her face could not conceal her stunning beauty.

"I……"

The woman's thin lips twitched slightly, but she quickly lost consciousness again.

Lin Xuan hurriedly carried the woman into the thatched hut.

In his previous life, Lin Xuan was a medical student studying traditional Chinese medicine, so he quickly helped the woman stop the bleeding and bandage her wounds.

After finishing his work, Lin Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Lin Xuan took a closer look at the woman.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her skin as white as ice and her bones as white as jade...

She's a natural beauty.

Lin Xuan was surprised. When did such a beautiful woman appear in the human tribe?

At least, not in Lin Xuan's memory.

However, Lin Xuan didn't think too much about it.

He took good care of the woman.

After all, now that he wants to experience the life of an ordinary person, everything must be based on the standards of an ordinary person.

Lin Xuan even concealed and sealed his aura and magical power.

To break through, be tough on yourself!

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xuan returned home that day.

The woman who had been sleeping for so long has finally woken up!

"You're awake?"

Lin Xuan put down the stone knife and firewood in his hand, and said to the woman with a smile.

The woman looked at Lin Xuan, a hint of doubt and surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She was utterly shocked!

Her injuries had completely healed!

You must know, she was injured by Taiyi's Chaos Bell!

It's impossible for him to get better in just one month!

That's right, this woman is Houtu, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

The witches and demons fought for control of the world. In order to strengthen the witch clan, Houtu secretly left the Ancestral Witch Temple and traveled through the prehistoric world in search of a breakthrough opportunity.

Unfortunately, she was discovered by the demon race along the way.

Taiyi arrived and fought a great battle with Houtu.

However, although Houtu was strong, Taiyi had the Chaos Bell by his side. So after Houtu fought Taiyi for three days and three nights, she was eventually injured by the Chaos Bell.

The Chaos Bell is a supreme innate treasure. To be injured by the Daoist essence of a supreme innate treasure is no small matter.

Such a Dao injury cannot be healed without tens of thousands of years of cultivation!

However, it's only been a month, and they've already cured him?

Houtu was stunned!

She looked at the human before her, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.

How did he manage to completely heal her injuries in just one month?

Could he be a reclusive master?

However, Houtu sensed not a trace of magical power emanating from him!

He really is just an ordinary person!

An ordinary human!

Houtu was puzzled!

Noticing Lin Xuan staring at her, Houtu said coldly:

"Thank you, fellow Daoist... thank you for your help."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. We are both human, so helping each other is only right."

Houtu was taken aback.

He actually thought I was human?

At this moment, Lin Xuan truly regarded himself as a mortal, an ordinary human.

Therefore, he naturally assumed that the woman in front of him was also a member of the human tribe.

It's quite normal that the woman didn't recognize him as the former Holy King of the Human Race.

Now that my hair is so long and my beard is all stubble, even if Suirenshi were standing right in front of me, he probably wouldn't recognize me.

With a century having passed, humanity has gradually forgotten him...
