Humans live in the primordial world, investing in countless realms

Chapter 32 The Shackles of Saints, the Heavenly Human Race!

Then the resounding voice faded away.

The entire human race could no longer sense the probing of divine consciousness.

Lin Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

He then disregarded the situation of the two saints, instead sitting cross-legged on Shouyang Mountain and continuing his sermon.

Hearing Lin Chen continue his sermon, the humans snapped out of their daze and sat down quietly to listen to his teachings.

A period of peace and tranquility descended upon the human race.

On the other side of Jin'ao Island, Shangqing Tongtian was sitting in Biyou Palace.

After digesting the entire Dao Fruit, Tongtian suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with disbelief and terror.

After a long while, a look of dejection suddenly appeared on his face.

"I thought that becoming a saint would bring me carefree freedom, but I never imagined..."

"How laughable that I even established the Jie Sect, vainly hoping to find a glimmer of hope for all living beings! It turns out that even I myself am nothing more than a caged bird!"

"If someone had informed me of this situation beforehand, I would never have attained the position of a saint."

After saying this, Tongtian immediately thought of his elder brother, Laozi.

Back then, after Laozi attained enlightenment, he returned to Kunlun once, even bringing his newly accepted disciples with him.

However, when he returned, he seemed to be preoccupied.

Now it seems that after becoming a saint, he already knew what the fate of a saint would be.

Tongtian looked up at the sky.

Just as Tongtian was about to say something, a sentence suddenly popped into his mind.

This is a phrase that Lao Tzu, the Supreme Lord, kept repeating after he became a saint.

"The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven evolves into forty-nine, and humanity escapes to one."

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Cycle is forty-nine, and humanity escapes to the end?"

Suddenly, Tongtian seemed to have thought of something.

He then slowly stood up, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the direction of Shouyang Mountain, the capital of the human race.

After pondering for a long time, Tongtian's figure slowly disappeared into Biyou Palace.

In an instant, a thousand miles were covered, and the towering figure disappeared into the shadows.

Looking towards Shouyang Mountain, one glance was enough to see Lin Chen preaching to the human race.

Seeing this, Tongtian also became curious.

If humanity had followed its own path of development, it should be completely unaware of everything at this point and developing peacefully.

Why does it seem like things have changed now?

Lin Chen continued speaking, completely unaware that a sage was hiding in the shadows, secretly observing the scene.

While giving his sermon, Lin Chen didn't forget to check the chat group.

Finally, Lin Chen finished explaining all his insights into the initial part of "The Great Path of the Golden Core".

After hearing this, the group of humans thanked Lin Chen and then sat down cross-legged on the spot to begin their cultivation.

He had been watching Lin Chen's Tongtian skill intently, but now he felt a sense of surprise.

The human race should only have three ancestors, so when did a fourth ancestor suddenly appear?

While Tongtian was filled with curiosity, the phrase "one escapes from the human realm" once again came to mind.

The repeated appearance of these four words made Tongtian realize that the human race might actually have the glimmer of hope he was looking for.

"It seems we came to the right place. The development of this human race has completely deviated from the predictions of Heaven!"

"The human race should have three ancestors, but now a fourth ancestor has appeared. It seems that the Kongtong Seal, which should have been in the hands of the eldest brother, has also fallen into the hands of this fourth ancestor of the human race."

Tongtian became increasingly curious about Lin Chen.

He simply came to Lin Chen's side.

Lin Chen, who was still watching the chat group, had not yet discovered Tongtian's whereabouts. He was still staring at the chat group interface, receiving the group chat points sent to him by Huang Rong and others.

Tongtian, observing Lin Chen's actions, assumed that the other was in a daze and had not noticed him.

Just a moment later, Tongtian couldn't help but ask.

"Are you the fourth ancestor of humanity?"

The sudden sound startled Lin Chen, who then hurriedly closed the chat group interface.

Turning his head, he saw a young Taoist priest with an air of arrogance between his brows, but the dazzling halo of merit shining behind his head made Lin Chen realize that this was probably a great power.

But he couldn't figure out exactly who it was, so he could only bow in curiosity.

"I am the Fourth Ancestor of the Human Race. May I ask who you are, senior?"

Tongtian smiled and began to speak.

"I am Tongtian, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

One sentence left Lin Chen completely stunned on the spot.

He was even curious why this saint, who had just attained enlightenment, would suddenly appear here.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Moreover, he wanted to take him as his disciple, which seemed to have deviated from the original script of the prehistoric world.

However, looking at Tongtian's serious expression, and with a burning flame seemingly rising in his eyes, it was clear that he was serious.

Looking into that gaze, Lin Chen couldn't help but clench a certain part of his body.

If the other party wasn't a saint, he would have suspected that the other party was some kind of perverted gay man who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Just a moment later, he banished these chaotic thoughts.

After a moment's thought, Lin Chen spoke again.

"Sage, if I were to become your disciple, would you be willing to protect the human race?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian frowned deeply.

Just a moment later, he looked at the group of humans who were cultivating in front of him.

In Tongtian's eyes, the image of a great river was reflected.

The river is so turbulent that one can't help but be captivated by it at first glance.

Just a moment later, Tongtian shook his head.

"I only accepted you as my disciple, not all of humanity. Therefore, I will not offer you any protection."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen seemed to have expected it. After sighing, he could only cup his hands in greeting.

"Sage, I am the ancestor of the human race, chosen by the collective of humanity. It is my duty to protect them. If I cannot even do this, wouldn't I be letting down my fellow human beings?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian froze on the spot for a moment, then took a deep look at Lin Chen before nodding involuntarily.

"If you become my disciple, I will impart to you the techniques and supernatural powers. In the future, when you have achieved mastery in your cultivation, you will be able to protect the human race. What do you say?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Tongtian, and then something came to his mind.

He had an idea before, but because he lacked the foundation in formations and weapon crafting, he had no way to implement it.

This Tongtian seems to be proficient in formations in addition to swordsmanship.

I can learn some array formations from him, but I don't know if he knows how to forge weapons.

Tongtian is supposed to be the brother of Yuanshi Tianzun, so he should know something about the art of weapon forging, right?

Knowing a little is enough.

So he decided to give it a try and asked around.

"Does Your Excellency possess knowledge of formations and weapon crafting techniques?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian laughed and then pointed to the sky.

"I am Tongtian. In the Dao of Formations, throughout the primordial world, apart from that one, no one has ever dared to claim to surpass me."

"As for the weapon-refining methods you mentioned, I naturally know them. Although I'm not as skilled as my second brother, I can easily refine some acquired spiritual treasures!"
