I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 123 Ten Years in the Blink of an Eye, Ye Yang's Cult

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Since Ye Yang entered the Underworld, ten years have passed. All the great powers of the Primordial World and all the saints of the heavens have been paying close attention, but they have not seen Ye Yang come out in ten years.

This has caused great anxiety among all the saints in the heavens.

"Strange, why hasn't the Ancestor of Humanity come out of the Underworld since entering? Could he be brewing something?"

The Sage Taiqing tried to calculate with his fingers, but he couldn't figure it out. Looking towards Penglai Immortal Island, the Zhuxian Sword Formation hadn't appeared, which made the Sage Taiqing sense something was wrong.

"Yuanshi, the Ancestor of Humanity has been in the cycle of reincarnation for ten years and has not yet emerged. Have you noticed anything amiss? I am entangled in karma and cannot make any calculations."

At this critical moment of the Lich Calamity, the heavenly secrets are in chaos, and the power of the calamity is as fierce as a tiger. Moreover, the Supreme Saint is burdened with karma, so it would be strange if he could calculate it.

Upon hearing the message from the Sage of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable immediately began to calculate, but after a long while, he frowned.

"Elder brother, I haven't figured it out either. Could it be that the Ancestor of Humanity hasn't emerged in this cycle of reincarnation? Or is it that the Ancestor of Humanity is preparing to lie low until after the Great Tribulation of the Lich King in order to avoid being sought out by all the saints of the heavens?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable pondered in his heart that perhaps it was indeed possible, but the Supreme Pure Sage shook his head.

"Something's not right. The Ancestor of Humanity wasn't like that. His personality and status meant he wouldn't hide. He must be plotting something big, but we just don't know it."

Taking a deep breath, Taiqing's mind was no longer at peace.

"Therefore, we can only take it one step at a time."

After Yuanshi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and remained silent. He then used his great magical power to seal off his Daoist aura, before finally chuckling.

"Now that I have finally succeeded in overcoming this tribulation, unless I'm out of my mind and go back to provoke the Ancestor of Humanity, what does the Ancestor of Humanity's disappearance or not have to do with me?"

Just like the Great Sage Nuwa, after successfully passing the tribulation, she immediately sealed off the place and did not see anyone. Even after the great tribulation of the Lich King, Nuwa did not prepare to descend into the primordial world in her true form.

As for the two Western Saints, they had no time to spare at this moment. Mount Sumeru had been destroyed, and the Western Sect, which they had cultivated for so long, had been shattered by Ye Yang in one blow, a great humiliation.

Furthermore, since they were forbidden from entering the Primordial World during the Lich Tribulation, the saints could only watch, though they were also afraid to enter the Primordial World.

However, the Supreme Sage still felt somewhat uneasy, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

Time passed year after year, and five years had gone by in the blink of an eye. On the shore of the East China Sea, Ye Yang had been staying for five years. This was the place where Nuwa created humans, and also the true origin of the 100,000 innate humans.

Of course, it was also the place where the so-called "humanistic teachings" were established, but now, hehehe, to hell with it.

All that could be seen was a young man in the mountains, shirtless, fighting against a monster. His eyes blazed with terrifying fighting spirit, and every punch he threw was accompanied by a terrifying shockwave. His body was covered in wounds, but he grew stronger with each battle.

He seemed oblivious to pain and fatigue, but only he knew that every time he was injured, the pain was excruciating, yet it only fueled his fighting spirit.

He was already exhausted and had only managed to persevere through sheer willpower. There was no turning back in this battle; behind him lay a precipice. He would either kill the monster in front of him or be beaten and fall off the cliff to his death.

After five years of continuous training, Ye Yang's disciple "Wu" has become strong. Five years of life-and-death trials and five years of Ye Yang's teaching have made Wu understand what true martial arts are.

Martial arts are not bound by spirit or form. As long as you can defeat or kill your opponent, you can use it for your own purposes.

Rumble.

With the final punch, the monster's head was smashed open. Wu was finally exhausted and supported himself on his knees as if he was about to collapse. Ye Yang, who was in the distance, smiled slightly and made a gesture with one hand.

Suddenly, a large, striped tiger appeared, and its roar shook the mountains and forests.

"this"

Wu was terrified, but he had no strength left. Seeing the striped tiger pounce on him, Wu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. However, at the crucial moment, Ye Yang stopped him.

"Master, this..."

Ye Yang slowly said:

"Wu, you're afraid of battle."

"This disciple knows he was wrong."

Slowly standing up, looking at Wu's current state, Ye Yang sighed and said:

"You must remember, the human martial arts fear no challenge. Even when we are exhausted, we are not afraid of any challenge. Humans are not afraid of death. Even if we only have a drop of blood left, we will make our enemies tremble."

As Ye Yang slowly walked over, he continued:

"Humans are not afraid of death. We will tear everything apart with our bodies, crush everything with our terrifying will, and splatter our blood all over the Great Way, so that all living beings in the heavens will know that anyone who provokes humans, no matter how far away, will be punished."

In an instant, Ye Yang's eyes turned fierce.

"I'll say it again, humans are not afraid of death."

In an instant, Wu seemed to understand, and said:

"Master, release that tiger."

Ye Yang smiled slightly. Wu Zhen had truly grasped the essence of martial arts. With a roar, the striped tiger pounced, but Ye Yang left without looking back.

"Slay immortals, slay saints, slay demons and gods; battle heaven, battle earth, battle the universe; slay gods and Buddhas who stand in your way; only in this way can the martial spirit of the human race be realized."

As the sound faded into the distance, Ye Yang's figure disappeared. Wu muttered to himself, finally understanding the truth in his heart.

"So this is the true way of martial arts: to use flesh and blood to fight against the heavens."

Taking a deep breath, Wu listened to Ye Yang recount the stories of many ancestors over the past five years, feeling his blood boil with excitement. Only now did he truly understand just how terrifying the ancestors of humans were.

"I cultivate the Dao that can challenge the heavens, the Dao that can fight against all the saints and sages of the heavens. How could a mere striped tiger possibly stop my advance?"

All that could be seen was the flow of energy around Wu Zhou's body, as if an invisible power had been released, with his blood vessels coiling like dragons and his veins bulging.

It was as if a sharp sword shot into the sky. Before the battle even began, the tiger was already afraid. Wu didn't make any extra movements and threw a punch.

Go on to reincarnation.

Rumble.

Without any hesitation, the striped tiger was smashed to pieces with a single punch. Afterwards, Wu bowed in the direction Ye Yang had left. Although he had not yet revealed who Ye Yang was, he had a vague idea.

"Thank you, Master."

In the distance, Ye Yang chuckled. After five years of his personal guidance, along with the Enlightenment Tea from the Tongtian Sect Master and the Tranquil Tea from the Underworld Reincarnation, Wu finally achieved enlightenment.

It was just a pity for the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was thoroughly humiliated by Ye Yang for that little bit of Enlightenment Tea.

Splash!

"Hehe, the human race's fortune has improved."

Ye Yang looked up at the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace, his heart filled with excitement. Martial arts were beginning to spread among the human race. As long as one person comprehended martial arts, the human race's fortune would be strengthened and solidified.

If the entire human race could comprehend the Dao of Martial Arts, then the human race's fortune would directly shake the Heavenly Dao. However, this goal is too difficult. The path of Martial Arts is extremely arduous. Without great perseverance and wisdom, it is absolutely impossible to truly comprehend the Dao of Martial Arts.

Slowly looking towards Mount Buzhou, where the war between the Lich King and the Demon King had reached its climax, Ye Yang chuckled:

"It's almost here, almost here! When I finish my plan, Mount Buzhou will collapse. At that time, I will give all the saints a surprise, hehe."

Just then, Wu walked back, shirtless and with his back straight, and Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction.

"Indeed, the martial arts of the human race do not require bowing down to any enemy. Martial arts, remember this. Today, your master will impart to you the final words of the martial arts of the human race. Listen carefully."

"Master, please give your instructions."
