Although legends in his past life spoke of the Red-haired Monster personally equating the Immortal Emperor with a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Fang Ming's investigation revealed that the Red-haired Monster had never uttered such a statement. It was merely a fabricated rumor by someone with ulterior motives!
It was nothing more than a fabricated rumor by the Honghuang enthusiasts to elevate Honghuang and disparage Zhetian, a rumor without any actual evidence, yet they shamelessly boasted about it, mentioning public accounts but unable to even provide a date.
Rumors, like "people say, three people make a tiger," are inherently untrustworthy.
This narrative had deceived many, who, having never personally witnessed the Red-haired Monster's pronouncements, treated it as gospel. However, it could not fool Fang Ming.
...
Even setting aside Ye Tiandi's ultimate achievements, the mere cultivation of a Mortal World Immortal was enough to excite the Human Race immensely, making them believe that a Chaos Demon God had passed down the teachings!
Fang Ming, playing along with their notion that Ye Tiandi was a Chaos Demon God, did not correct them. Instead, he continued, "You should all know by now why the Zhetian Method differs so greatly from the cultivation techniques and philosophies of Honghuang."
"Therefore, I must first state one thing."
"That is, the Zhetian Method is indeed more suitable for the Human Race than the Golden Core Great Dao."
"However, the two methods are diametrically opposed and cannot be cultivated simultaneously. Thus, if you wish to cultivate the Zhetian Method, you must first abandon the Golden Core Great Dao!"
Abandon the Golden Core Great Dao, cultivate the Zhetian Method!
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed drastically.
Although they had theoretically analyzed that the Zhetian Method was indeed very suitable for the Human Race, and there was the story of a Chaos Demon God passing down the teachings, if it were truly a Chaos Demon God, the method passed down would indeed be superior to the Golden Core Great Dao.
But theory was theory, and reality was reality. The two were not necessarily the same.
Now, to ask them to abandon the Golden Core Great Dao, which they had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, and cultivate the Zhetian Method, none could make up their minds directly!
"Young Clan Leader, this is too difficult for us..."
"Why don't we first find some humans with low cultivation, who haven't yet become immortals, and have them abandon the Golden Core Great Dao to cultivate this Zhetian Method?"
Many clan members wanted to back out.
They had cultivated the Golden Core Great Dao for an unknown number of years. Now, to ask them to give up all their cultivation and directly cultivate the Zhetian Method, they were reluctant.
Some clan members even tactfully said, "Young Clan Leader, is there really no way to cultivate both paths simultaneously?"
He coveted the benefits of the Zhetian Method but did not want to abandon his cultivation of the Golden Core Great Dao, hence he raised this question again.
Fang Ming directly refused, "The Golden Core Great Dao borrows the power of heaven and earth, while the Zhetian Method's might is contained within oneself. They are fundamentally different."
"How can you cultivate two fundamentally different paths simultaneously?"
This statement directly extinguished all hope of dual cultivation.
It also caused more people to feel worried and retreat.
Many thought to themselves.
The Young Clan Leader was right. The Golden Core Great Dao was the Dao of Non-action of the Grand Pure Sage, while the Zhetian Method was the Dao of Striving for Supremacy.
The two paths were not merely possibly different; they were clearly opposite and irreconcilable.
It could be imagined that even if a human possessed heaven-defying talent and could cultivate both, they would at most remain at realms below that of an immortal, such as the Dragon Transformation Realm or the Fusion of Void and Dao. They would absolutely not be able to cultivate both to a profound level.
Dual cultivation was a dead end.
Abandoning the Golden Core Great Dao and switching to the new path was the correct way.
However, they could not bring themselves to make the decision to switch.
Fang Ming looked at their expressions and understood their state of mind.
Just as he was about to administer a strong dose of medicine, talking about the "rapid progress" of the Zhetian Method to further boost everyone's confidence in it,
Suddenly, Fang Ming felt a surge of inspiration. Within his divine sense, he detected a terrifying demonic aura approaching the Xuanyang Tribe!
"This is..."
"A Demon God of the Great Luo realm? How could they descend upon a small Human Tribe like Xuanyang?"
Fang Ming was slightly taken aback.
Then he reacted.
He thought, "Good! No matter the reason for their arrival, this is a perfect opportunity to establish my authority."
"If a Demon God of the Great Luo realm dies at my hands, the credibility of the Zhetian Method will greatly increase!"
Fang Ming's gaze was filled with anticipation.
But the other members of the Human Race felt no such anticipation.
The overwhelming demonic aura, even from billions of miles away, reached the Xuanyang Tribe, causing countless tribesmen to feel a tremor of fear.
Many Heavenly Immortal elders' faces turned pale. Before the demon even arrived, their blood seemed to be on the verge of exploding due to the demonic aura.
What kind of powerful demon was this? Without its true form arriving, it could achieve such a feat with mere demonic aura!
"I have lived for millions of years, fought with demon soldiers, and even seen demon generals a few times, but I have never felt such a powerful demonic aura..."
"What realm is this demon in?"
A tribesman asked, trembling.
"I once saw the aura of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the Human Ancestral Land, but the auras of the Three Ancestors were far inferior to this demonic aura..."
"This is likely a demon of the Great Luo realm!"
Someone who had been to the Human Ancestral Land replied.
A demon of the Great Luo realm!
Upon hearing this, all the Human Race members turned deathly pale.
The Zhetian Method, the Golden Core Great Dao – all were forgotten.
Now, it was a crisis of life and death for all the humans of the Xuanyang Tribe!
A demon of the Great Luo realm!
What did that concept entail?
Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, Profound Immortals were merely demon soldiers among demons. Golden Immortals could be called demon generals!
Grand Unity Golden Immortals could be called demon marshals.
Great Luo Golden Immortals could be called Great Luo Demon Gods!
These terrifying gods of ten thousand demons existed only in legends, and no one in the Xuanyang Tribe had ever seen one.
The Xuanyang Tribe was merely a small Human Tribe. If a Profound Immortal demon soldier descended, they could resist to some extent.
If a Golden Immortal demon general descended, the entire tribe would have to scatter and flee, consuming a large number of human lives before a portion could escape successfully.
Even a Golden Immortal demon general was a great calamity for the Xuanyang Tribe.
Let alone the descent of a Demon God of the Great Luo realm?
Some elders seemed to foresee the end of all the humans in the Xuanyang Tribe, with no survivors.
It was not that the elders were overthinking; in such a situation, let alone a small Human Tribe, even the entire Human Race united could not contend with a Great Luo Demon God!
"Is Heaven destroying my Xuanyang Tribe? Why would a Great Luo Demon God descend so suddenly?"
"The Xuanyang Tribe has been established for a million years and has never encountered such a catastrophic disaster. Now it has suddenly arrived, what should we do!"
Everyone was terrified and at a loss, trembling.
In this era, it was not uncommon for Great Luo Demon Gods to descend and devour a tribe.
But how noble were Great Luo Demon Gods? Their status was lofty, and the chance of encountering them was incredibly slim. Conversely, invasions by demon soldiers were much more likely to occur.
The tribesmen of the Xuanyang Tribe never expected to be so unlucky as to encounter such an irresistible, mobile natural disaster!
