"Nonsense! I see you all have become immortals while I'm still stuck in the Refining Spirit and Returning to Void realm, likely needing another six thousand years to reach Refining Void and Harmonizing with the Dao."
"My cultivation speed is a hundred, even a thousand times slower than yours. How can I not be anxious? I've been cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao for so long, yet I'm still a cultivator, not an immortal!"
"And you all have cultivated the Heaven-Shielding Method, achieving Earth Immortal strength in just a hundred years!"
"That's true, you really should be anxious! It would be abnormal if you weren't."
"What did you say? How can you utter such hurtful words?"
"Because I'm now at the first heaven of the Immortal Platform, comparable to an Earth Immortal. You can't beat me."
"You..."
...
"This Golden Core Great Dao, even dogs wouldn't cultivate it! It's utter trash!"
"Heaven-Shielding Method! Only the Heaven-Shielding Method is invincible!"
"The Heaven-Shielding Method not only allows for rapid progress, but one year of cultivation can be comparable to a hundred or a thousand years of cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao."
"Even the combat power is invincible!"
"I feel like I can take on ten cultivators of the same level cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao!"
"No, I'm getting restless. Are there any in the tribe still cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao? I want to try fighting ten at once!"
A young man kept shouting.
The person beside him said speechlessly, "The Heaven-Shielding Method has been circulating for a hundred years. Anyone cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao who isn't an idiot has already switched to the Heaven-Shielding Method."
"Where are you going to find ten opponents of the same level to fight?"
The young man froze.
"My dream of being invincible among peers and challenging those of higher levels is shattered!"
"I've mastered the Dragon Slaying Technique, but alas, there are no dragons in this world!"
The person beside him chuckled:
"You're just lonely at the top. In the human race, only our Xuanyang Tribe cultivates the Heaven-Shielding Method. Other tribes are still cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao."
"You can go challenge the experts of other tribes."
"However, I suggest you go kill demon soldiers of the same level."
"Internal strife within the human race is nothing. Fighting externally, fighting against powerful enemies, that's the right way."
Demon soldiers?
Hatred and endless killing intent flashed in the young man's eyes.
...
"Ferrying Sea, Condensing Dao Palace, Cultivating Four Extremities, Refining Dragon, Ascending Immortal Platform..."
"The Immortal Platform Secret Realm is a great secret realm, divided into nine heavens. Each heaven is a major realm."
"And each heaven is further divided into nine small steps, totaling eighty-one steps, which are the minor realms."
"Currently, in our Xuanyang Tribe, the old elders have all reached the fourth heaven of the Immortal Platform. According to the young chief, they can be called ancient sages!"
"Fourth heaven of the Immortal Platform, the realm of ancient sages? This is comparable to the Golden Immortal cultivation in the Golden Core Great Dao!"
"The chiefs of other ordinary tribes are only at the Profound Immortal level, while in our tribe, any elder is at the Golden Immortal cultivation, comparable to the cultivation of a chief of a major tribe!"
"Let me count, there are about twenty elders in our tribe, and major human tribes only have about twenty Golden Immortal chiefs."
"Doesn't this mean that the overall strength of our Xuanyang Tribe is already comparable to the entire human race?"
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! With the strength of a small human tribe, to be comparable to the entire human race in just over a hundred years!"
"The young chief's Heaven-Shielding Method truly exceeds everyone's imagination! I think even those true great divine abilities in the Primordial Era would be greatly shocked and have their worldviews completely shattered upon seeing the Heaven-Shielding Method!"
"No, I think they would reject such a worldview and find all sorts of reasons to refuse it."
"I think they would hear about the Red Dust Immortal realm of the nine heavens of the Immortal Platform and dismiss it as merely Earth Immortal cultivation. These great divine abilities are already arrogant and only accept their own decaying views, unable to accept advanced things!"
"Exactly, they would only think that one must cultivate for tens of millions, even billions of years, to be comparable to their realm! This is a common problem with innate divine beings!"
...
These discussions and dialogues were common among the human race.
Fang Ming saw this and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the aptitude required for cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao and the Heaven-Shielding Method were not entirely the same.
Many tribesmen who were already naturally gifted had become much stronger than ordinary people.
The average cultivation level of the Xuanyang Tribe was the first heaven of the Immortal Platform, Earth Immortal strength.
However, many geniuses had cultivated to the second heaven of the Immortal Platform, Heavenly Immortal strength, and the third heaven, Dao Severing, Profound Immortal strength.
The elders in the tribe who had originally cultivated the Golden Core Great Dao to the Heavenly Immortal realm, upon switching to the Heaven-Shielding Method, directly reached the fourth heaven, the realm of ancient sages!
Even Fang Ming found this somewhat surprising; the cultivation speed of these elders was a bit too fast.
Many people in the Heaven-Shielding world did not cultivate that quickly.
However, considering the current environment of the Primordial World, which was comparable to the Immortal Realm in Heaven-Shielding, with abundant innate spiritual energy,
Compared to the Heaven-Shielding world in the post-ancient era, where resources were extremely scarce, Fang Ming could understand.
This was due to the overall environment, coupled with these elders breaking through and rebuilding by abandoning the Golden Core Great Dao.
Although the Golden Core Great Dao and the Heaven-Shielding Method were diametrically opposed, these elders had still gained some insights after cultivating to the Heavenly Immortal realm. They were not mortals without extraordinary power, but immortals.
For immortals to re-cultivate and switch to the Heaven-Shielding Method, it was a process of breaking and rebuilding, entering a period of rapid development.
"System, open my personal template."
Fang Ming said in his mind.
Soon, the system opened his personal template.
[Host: Fang Ming]
[Physique: Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo]
[Realm: Refining Spirit and Returning to Void cultivation (abolished), Great Sage cultivation at the sixth heaven of the Immortal Platform, eighth minor step (cultivation close to the peak of Great Luo)]
[Bound Target: Xuanyang Tribe]
[Population: 260 million]
[Average Tribe Realm: First heaven of the Immortal Platform (Earth Immortal cultivation)]
[Tribe Powerhouses: Over twenty ancient sages (Golden Immortals) at the fourth heaven of the Immortal Platform, one Great Sage at the sixth heaven (Host himself)]
[Origin Points extracted from the tribe over the past century: 100,000]
Fang Ming looked at his personal template and was very satisfied.
Only a little over a hundred years had passed since the propagation of the Heaven-Shielding Method.
The average realm of the tribe had already risen to the first heaven of the Immortal Platform.
The so-called average realm basically represented the level of ordinary tribesmen.
When they were previously cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao,
Even though the Xuanyang Tribe had been established for over a million years, the average realm had remained at the level of Qi Refining cultivators.
At that time, ordinary tribesmen only had Qi Refining cultivation, and those with some talent had Refining Spirit and Returning to Void cultivation.
Those who could be called prodigies had Refining Void and Harmonizing with the Dao cultivation.
As long as one achieved immortality, even if it was just an Earth Immortal, they would be considered high-ranking members of the tribe, possessing certain management authority.
