Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 24 Devouring Heaven Demon Art!

The Xuanming Ancestral Witch and the Houtu Ancestral Witch were also extremely intelligent, and naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Heng's words.

"Yes, yes, yes! You human race's genius is outstanding, okay!" Xuanming Ancestral Witch rolled her eyes at Jiang Heng and said.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, didn't say anything, but just glanced at Jiang Heng. She hadn't expected that Jiang Heng would have such a childlike side.

"Our human race rose from humble beginnings, and as the sovereign of the human race, it is my inescapable responsibility to ensure that the human race continues to grow stronger."

"I have never dared to slack off, which is why the human race has gradually achieved its current state!" Jiang Heng said with great emotion.

"It is truly remarkable that the human race has developed to such a level; you must have put in countless efforts for it."

"I observe that the combat power of human geniuses is extremely strong. What kind of cultivation technique have they practiced?" asked the Ancestral Witch Houtu.

"To be honest with you two Ancestral Witches, the cultivation method used by the human race was created by me, and I named it the Human Race Imperial Method!" Jiang Heng said.

"Human Emperor's Law? A law for becoming an emperor that belongs exclusively to the human race? It seems that you have great ambitions, fellow Daoist!" Houtu Ancestral Witch exclaimed.

"This cultivation method isn't actually limited to humans. If you don't mind, I do have another method you could consider!"

Jiang Heng's heart stirred, and he thought of a certain possibility, so he spoke up.

"Oh? Is what you say true, fellow Daoist? You should know that my Wu clan does not have a primordial spirit, so we cannot cultivate many techniques!" said Houtu, the Ancestral Witch.

Jiang Heng was naturally aware of this. The Wu Clan was born with powerful physical bodies, which made them strong enough to rival most of the creatures in the primordial world.

However, the Wu clan is not without its flaws. The fact that they are born without a primordial spirit completely seals off any potential for further improvement.

Currently, the mainstream cultivation method in the primordial world originates from the Dao Ancestor, and the key to the Dao Ancestor's method is actually the primordial spirit.

In the primordial world, powerful beings who wish to cultivate to the Quasi-Saint realm must gradually sever their Three Corpses in order to have any possibility of advancing further.

The so-called Three Corpses are the Good Corpse, the Evil Corpse, and the Self Corpse. In fact, these three corpses represent each person's obsessions.

When severing the three corpses, one can entrust one's obsession to various innate spiritual treasures, severing an incarnation, thereby making one's own cultivation vast and boundless.

After the three corpses are completely eradicated, one enters the Great Nirvana Realm. Then, the three corpses merge into one, and the avatar and the original body completely merge and become indistinguishable.

At this point, one can transform into countless beings, becoming omnipotent, and is actually only one step away from the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.

The Wu tribe has no primordial spirit, so naturally they cannot practice the method of severing the three corpses, let alone cultivate the various cultivation methods passed down by the Dao Ancestor.

The only way for the Wu tribe to achieve enlightenment is to follow the path of the great god Pangu, tempering their physical bodies to the extreme, and thus achieving enlightenment through strength.

But let alone ordinary witches, even the most powerful twelve ancestral witches are still a long way from achieving the physical realm of the great god Pangu.

Even Pangu, the god who created the world, failed in his quest to achieve enlightenment through force. How could anyone else possibly succeed?

Even if Jiang Heng were to impart the Emperor's Techniques of the Houtu Ancestral Witch Clan, what good would it do? Without cultivation, even the most powerful techniques would be useless.

Normally speaking, Houtu Zuwu's idea is certainly not wrong. Although the Zhetian Difa is different from the method passed down by Daozu, it still requires the primordial spirit to cultivate.

In the world of "Covering the Sky", the primordial spirit is generally referred to as divine consciousness. Divine consciousness plays an extremely important role when opening up the five major physical secret realms.

"It's alright! This technique suits you quite well, even if you can't master it, you can still learn a thing or two from it!" Jiang Heng said.

The absence of a primordial spirit does not mean that Houtu Ancestral Witch is completely unable to cultivate the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique. Jiang Heng knows of a technique that is very suitable for Houtu Ancestral Witch.

This technique was created by one of the most brilliant and outstanding emperors in the world of "Covering the Sky," and this emperor was a woman.

Ruthless Great Emperor, the most talented woman in the world of "Covering the Sky", created the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" with a mortal body and eventually became an emperor.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art is an extremely powerful imperial scripture. Its most terrifying aspect is its ability to devour various royal bodies, causing the user to undergo a transformation.

For example, the Ruthless Great Emperor used the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to transform his original mortal body into a flawless chaotic body, thus proving himself to become an emperor.

If Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, could also cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and transform into a flawless chaotic body, what realm could she reach?

Could he break free from the destiny of the Ancestral Witches, turn the impossible into possible, and ultimately achieve enlightenment through force? Jiang Heng wasn't actually that confident.

But without a doubt, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is actually extremely suitable for Houtu Ancestral Witch, allowing her to have unlimited possibilities for the future.

However, Jiang Heng said that whether he could cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to a truly masterful level without a primordial spirit was not a big problem.

Once Houtu Ancestral Witch transforms into a being of reincarnation, she will be able to break the limits of the Witch Clan and give birth to a true primordial spirit.

At that time, the powerful physical bodies of the Wu Clan, combined with the primordial spirit formed by creating the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" technique, will be available.

With the Ancestral Witch Houtu presiding over the Six Paths of Reincarnation, not to mention sages, even the Dao Ancestor probably wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Subsequently, at Jiang Heng's insistence, he still passed on the complete "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" to Houtu Ancestral Witch.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was deeply shaken. Judging from the powerful combat strength of those human geniuses, the human imperial law created by Jiang Heng was definitely extraordinary.

Cultivation techniques are of paramount importance to anyone, and would not be easily passed on to others, but Jiang Heng passed on the techniques to her without the slightest hesitation.

Moreover, as Jiang Heng slowly recounted the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art," Houtu Ancestral Witch became increasingly shocked, her heart churning with immense emotions.

"With a single thought, a flower blooms, and the ruler reigns supreme!" Houtu, the ancestral witch, murmured to herself.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was a powerful Ancestral Witch. She memorized the entire "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" after hearing it only once, and naturally understood the extraordinary nature of this technique.

That is why Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was so shocked; this was a supreme technique that could potentially allow her to advance even further.

The grace of attaining enlightenment is greater than heaven. Although things are still far from being finalized, it is enough to make Houtu, the ancestral witch, feel infinite gratitude towards Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng's decision to pass on the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" to Houtu Ancestral Witch was made after careful consideration, not on a whim.

Jiang Heng was certainly not the kind of guy who would be unable to move when he saw a beautiful woman and would want to give everything to a goddess.

First of all, the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Law has spread throughout the entire human race, and countless people cultivate it.

Although Jiang Heng had full confidence in the human race, he also understood that it was not difficult for outsiders to obtain the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Law.

When Jiang Heng decided to pass on the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique to all humankind, he was already prepared for the technique to be leaked.

In the primordial world, Jiang Heng was the creator of the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique. He was not afraid of outsiders cultivating the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique; on the contrary, he was afraid that others would not learn it.

Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die! If all living beings in the primordial world cultivated the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Technique, then Jiang Heng would not be far from becoming invincible.

This is actually quite similar to the situation of Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Do you think Dao Ancestor Hongjun was really selfless and passed on his cultivation techniques to all living beings in the prehistoric world for free?

As you can see, after the Dao Ancestor Hongjun preached the Dao to all living beings three times, he immediately entered the realm of the Dao Unity. Could there be a connection between these events?

Secondly, Jiang Heng had deeper considerations in passing on the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" to Houtu Ancestral Witch, giving her the possibility of further advancement.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch who has reincarnated, will occupy a pivotal position in the primordial world, which will be extremely crucial for the future of the human race.

By forging a good relationship today, Jiang Heng may reap unexpected benefits in the future. This can be considered as planning ahead.

Finally, Jiang Heng admitted that he had unknowingly developed a slight liking for Houtu, the Ancestral Witch.

Of course, it was only a good impression, not love. Jiang Heng wasn't really concerned about how things would develop between them.

Everything is just a matter of letting nature take its course. If he truly reaches that level, Jiang Heng will naturally follow his heart, and no one can stop him.

A combination of factors led Jiang Heng to decide to pass on the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to Houtu Ancestral Witch.

As for whether Houtu Ancestral Witch will cultivate the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" and whether she can master it, that depends on Houtu Ancestral Witch herself.

"The cultivation method created by you, fellow Daoist, is truly incredible. I have no way to repay your kindness in achieving the Dao. From now on, I can unconditionally grant you three requests as a way of repaying you!" said Houtu Ancestral Witch earnestly.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to take it to heart. It's just a mere cultivation technique. Why be so polite?" Jiang Heng said.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, remained silent, only looking at Jiang Heng with utmost seriousness, as if she would not give up until Jiang Heng agreed.

Jiang Heng had no choice but to nod in agreement, and Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, finally smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmph! You've already taught Sister Houtu a technique, shouldn't you teach me one too!" Xuanming Ancestral Witch said with a smile.

Just now, Jiang Heng used the method of sound transmission to tell Houtu Ancestral Witch about the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, so Xuanming Ancestral Witch had no idea what kind of technique Jiang Heng was teaching Houtu Ancestral Witch.

However, judging from the astonished expression on Houtu's face, Xuanming knew that the technique Jiang Heng had taught Houtu was definitely extraordinary.

The Ancestral Witch Xuanming didn't want Jiang Heng to teach her any cultivation techniques; she was just teasing him out of habit.

"Xuanming, stop your insolence!" Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, said with a hint of anger.

Xuanming Ancestral Witch stuck out her tongue, not taking the matter to heart, and continued to discuss the geniuses of the human race with Houtu Ancestral Witch.

Jiang Heng didn't say much. Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was about to be reincarnated, so there was no problem for her to cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. However, Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch, did not have this opportunity.

Even if Jiang Heng imparted the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique to the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, without a primordial spirit, could cultivate it, she would not be able to reach the Great Perfection realm.

Rather than wasting time, it's better to seek another method; perhaps the Xuanming Ancestral Witch still has hope of attaining enlightenment.

As the three continued to focus their attention on the arena, the battle of human geniuses reached its most intense moment.
