The chaos near the Primordial Era was one thing.
Delving deep into the chaos, a Great Luo Golden Immortal could very well perish directly.
How could they find a Dao Ancestor who had gone to who knows where?
"Dao Ancestor... how many years will it take for him to return?"
Tian Shi Shang Ren trembled and asked this question.
Haotian recalled, "The Dao Ancestor might have gone to find the Xuan Tian Demon God, or perhaps the Five Elements Demon God."
"It's also very possible that he went to find Immortal Yang Mei for another great battle."
"And then, don't look at me, I don't know which world in the chaos they reside in."
"Finally, based on past experience, perhaps the Dao Ancestor will return in ten million years?"
After Haotian finished speaking, he felt it wasn't conservative enough and changed his words, "But it might also be thirty million years, oh, no, sixty million years..."
"It's only six hundred Yuan Hui... Wait, what's wrong with you."
Tian Shi Shang Ren, fainted on the spot, his Dao heart was about to shatter!
It was simply getting more infuriating the more he spoke.
Sixty million years?
The yellow flowers would have long gone cold!
Dao Ancestor! Why did you have to go out for such a long time?
When you return, the era will have already changed!
The Primordial World is doomed!
Why go out for so long!
At the critical moment, why did you have to go out!
Before he fainted, Haotian's voice still echoed.
"I truly have no other choice."
"Only the Heavenly Dao realm can achieve the reduction of living matter."
"Heavenly Dao Sages can't do anything like this; their divine abilities aren't enough... You can't find any Saint to do this."
Tian Shi Shang Ren had completely fainted on the ground.
...
Deep within the cultivation chamber of the Demon Court.
Qing Qiu Yao Shen appeared before Dong Huang Tai Yi.
Dong Huang Tai Yi looked at Qing Qiu Yao Shen and murmured, "Why did you come in at this time?"
"I should have only been in seclusion for a million years. Did something major happen?"
"What could happen in a mere million years? Did the Wu clan invade?"
Qing Qiu Hu Shen, instead of mentioning the great crisis facing the Demon Court, asked, "Your Majesty Dong Huang, did I not disturb your breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint realm?"
Dong Huang Tai Yi shook his head.
"No cultivator has ever truly reached the Quasi-Saint realm, ancient or modern."
"It's just a hypothetical, assumed realm."
"I'm not even sure if it truly exists."
"I've been in seclusion for a million years and have touched upon some clues, but exploring further leads to dead ends."
"Perhaps, it will take more than a hundred million years of seclusion to find an opportunity, but I can't guarantee I'll break through by then."
"After all, it's too difficult to explore this realm that no cultivator has ever reached on my own!"
"If there were a real Quasi-Saint realm cultivator as a reference, I might have a chance to comprehend the opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm from him."
Dong Huang Tai Yi was telling Qing Qiu Hu Shen that he wasn't disturbed and there was no need to worry.
Breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm was a major event that couldn't be accomplished in a mere million years!
It was unlikely to find an opportunity within such a short period.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly.
The Quasi-Saint realm was unprecedented, making it difficult to explore.
But if a cultivator could reach that realm, as a successor, he might be able to break through after a few million years of discussion.
This speed was much faster than at least a hundred million years of seclusion.
Qing Qiu Hu Shen was silent for a moment.
For a time, he was speechless.
"This... I'll tell you, Your Majesty Dong Huang."
"There is indeed a true Quasi-Saint realm cultivator now..."
Dong Huang Tai Yi's eyes narrowed, with a hint of surprise:
"In the current Primordial World, I should be the closest to that legendary realm."
"How is it possible that another cultivator has reached this realm ahead of me?"
"I am the peak of the peak of Saints, the perfection of perfection of Saints!"
"Among the other peak Saints in the Primordial World, who can reach the true extreme of the Saint realm like me?"
"Is it Ming He? Or Zhen Yuan Zi? Or..."
Before Dong Huang Tai Yi could finish speaking.
Qing Qiu Hu Shen immediately interrupted him:
"It's... the Human Race!"
"The Emperor of the Human Race!"
Dong Huang Tai Yi, upon hearing this, did not react at all.
Instead, he murmured:
"Human Race?"
"Has another race with the same name appeared recently?"
Dong Huang Tai Yi didn't react for a moment.
He thought it was a race with the same name.
But when he saw Qing Qiu Hu Shen's silent gaze, Dong Huang Tai Yi instantly understood!
He understood which race Qing Qiu Hu Shen was referring to!
Following that, Dong Huang Tai Yi's expression instantly turned grim.
"Is it that race we herded, the Human Race created by Nuwa?"
Qing Qiu Hu Shen nodded.
Dong Huang Tai Yi's expression became very serious.
"Tell me exactly what happened, one by one."
Qing Qiu Hu Shen told Dong Huang Tai Yi the entire sequence of events.
Dong Huang Tai Yi's expression changed several times.
But in the end, there was no expression of great shock.
Instead, he said, "So, the Heaven-Shielding Method with powerful combat strength? An alternative path to enlightenment, comparable to the Quasi-Saint realm?"
"That's perfect!"
"It's perfect for me to guide the way forward!"
"I want to use his body to reverse the realm, to attack the Quasi-Saint realm from the peak of Saints, and to break through to the true Quasi-Saint realm from the struggle for survival."
"Qing Qing! You must understand that cultivators are different from cultivators! A heart that believes itself invincible, unafraid of life and death, can truly achieve the Dao!"
"Relying on external objects, on artifacts, on crooked paths, will ultimately fall short. In terms of cultivating one's mind, it is far inferior to cultivators with a true Dao heart!"
"That Human Emperor... hehe, according to you, who knows how many external things he relied on... sticking to one method is enough; pursuing multiple methods simultaneously, straddling multiple boats, how foolish!"
"Come out of seclusion!"
Dong Huang Tai Yi emerged from seclusion.
Qing Qiu Hu Shen saw complete confidence on his face.
This confidence was not fabricated or boastful arrogance, but genuine confidence that knew the opponent's strength far surpassed his own, yet was unafraid of life and death.
"Your Majesty Tai Yi has emerged from seclusion - with the Dong Huang Bell in hand, I am naturally invincible!"
Qing Qiu Hu Shen now had some confidence in Dong Huang Tai Yi.
And in the distance, endless bell tolls echoed again.
It was the myriad demons paying homage, the divine might of the Eastern Emperor, the ringing of the Chaos Bell!
The army of the Demon Court had completed all preparations...
...
"Demon Court..."
Fang Ming looked at the Demon Court, which was within reach.
Behind him were countless Human Race legions, the rumbling war drums almost resounding through heaven and earth.
It was on par with the myriad demons paying homage to the Eastern Emperor and the ringing of the Chaos Bell.
"Dong Huang Tai Yi seems full of confidence..."
Fang Ming sneered as he watched the scene.
Di Jun's Dao heart seemed not to be very good, but Dong Huang Tai Yi's Dao heart seemed to be qualified.
Was this because Di Jun, having secured the position of Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court, had been issuing orders and handling political affairs, thus slacking in the cultivation of his mind and Dao?
