Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I created three thousand demon realms.

Chapter 81 Lao Tzu's Teachings, Six Ears' Body Refinement

Time passes slowly.

After the Three Pure Ones returned to Kunlun.

Laozi went into seclusion. This great battle made Laozi realize one thing: not becoming a saint is ultimately nothing in the eyes of Taiyi Dijun.

Becoming a saint is the most important thing I should be doing right now.

Tens of thousands of years have passed.

After returning to the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Tai Yi began preparations, but they had no intention of fighting the Wu Clan.

Lao Tzu emerged from the Kunlun Mountains, transforming into an old man, and gazed towards the shores of the East China Sea.

Heading towards the coast of the East China Sea, they arrived at one of the human tribes.

"Is this the race created by my junior sister Nuwa?" Laozi walked among the human tribes, watching as each of them worked for the development of their tribe.

Lao Tzu walked among the tribes of the human race.

They eventually settled in a tribe.

Looking at these humans, a sigh rose in his eyes. Humans are truly a chosen race, born with the Pangu Dao Body, and their growth time is not as long as other prehistoric races.

Most importantly, these humans possess terrifyingly vigorous blood energy, like a furnace. The only difference is that these humans do not cultivate immortality.

Lao Tzu spent hundreds of years traveling among humans, using the alias Li Er, and stayed in each of the human tribes for several decades.

They discovered that the human race had taken a completely different path from everyone else in the prehistoric world, but was quite similar to the witch race.

They both have strong physical bodies and vigorous blood and energy like a furnace, but they don't cultivate their primordial spirit and follow the path of will. So it can't be said that they don't cultivate their primordial spirit.

It can only be said that he mainly cultivates the physical body, using the physical body as the foundation, and integrates endless power into himself. His fists can break the sky and his feet can split the earth. This is completely the opposite of the path that Hongjun has passed down in the prehistoric world.

One focuses on cultivating the primordial spirit and emphasizes the natural order of heaven and earth, while the other focuses on cultivating the physical body and emphasizes integrating boundless power into oneself.

Different paths naturally lead to vastly different challenges.

There is no question of which is stronger or weaker in martial arts or immortality; each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Martial arts require an unwavering will and progress is slow in the early stages, while immortality emphasizes comprehension and allows for rapid growth in the early stages.

However, once one has mastered the martial arts path, one can be said to be invincible among those of the same level. Don't say that martial arts don't have any powerful spells or the like.

Martial arts follow the path of supernatural powers. When one reaches the level of an immortal, martial arts experts of the same realm are physically invincible and also possess powerful offensive supernatural powers.

In terms of immortality, one can only say that immortality has an advantage over martial arts in terms of lifespan and cultivation.

Compared to the path of immortality, especially in the early stages, martial arts require a firm will to continue; this single hurdle alone has killed countless people.

To give a simple example, if two people cultivate martial arts and immortality at the same time, one can fly and use dazzling spells, and their lifespan has exceeded the limit, reaching at least several hundred years, while the other is still honing their physical body and blood, running on the ground, without any dazzling supernatural powers, and their lifespan hasn't increased much either.

In comparison, would you choose the path of martial arts or the path of immortality?
While martial arts can indeed make one invincible among those of the same level, that requires growth and development. In the early stages, martial arts cannot compare to those of immortal cultivators.

This is something that must be acknowledged.

After all, that's the reality.

Lao Tzu traveled among human tribes for hundreds of years and discovered that the overall lifespan of humans was very short compared to other races in the prehistoric world.

Lifespans of millions or tens of millions of years are far too short, especially considering that immortality grants eternal life. Human lifespans are indeed far too short.

Most of them were trapped and died at the very peak of humanity, and crossing the gate between immortals and mortals was like ascending to heaven.

This is the drawback of martial arts. Although powerful, compared to immortality, its biggest problem is lifespan.

Simply put, martial arts are about maximizing both attack and defense from the very beginning, while immortality is about maximizing both health and survivability from the start.

It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages; it cannot be said that the path of immortality is inferior to the path of martial arts, or vice versa.

Over the course of several hundred years, Lao Tzu gained some insight: the human race was born to meet a calamity, possessed great fortune from birth, and was accompanied by the appearance of treasures of great fortune. All these phenomena made Lao Tzu realize that the human race was not simple.

Lao Tzu then stayed in an unknown tribe.

He began his preaching journey, initially teaching the human race some basic cultivation methods of immortality.

On Chaos Island! Yuan Meng gazed at the shores of the East Sea, his eyes filled with the illusion of endless laws.

He witnessed Lao Tzu preaching among the human race, but Yuan Meng did not stop him.

Similarly, Nuwa in the Nuwa Palace, amidst the chaos, also learned of Laozi's preaching among the human race, knowing full well that Laozi's preaching would divert some of her human destiny.

But even Nuwa couldn't do anything about it; this was Lao Tzu's path to sainthood.

It is also the inevitable trend of Heaven that cannot be changed. As for letting Laozi establish another religion and become a saint?

That is impossible.

As the foundation of all paths of inheritance, the human race can pass on any race or lineage.

Even if the later Buddhist sects, Jie Sect, and Chan Sect, where is the final lineage of the Dao?
It is still among the human race.

I'm not stupid. Why would I abandon a proper religion and establish another one?

Think more.

As for Yuan Meng, he could intervene, but why would he do so?
It's a good thing that other sects are flourishing among humans, of course not referring to those like Lao Tzu who are just giving up.

If the human race only pursues martial arts, it is not a good thing, because martial arts is not suitable for every human. This is the biggest characteristic of the human race.

The ability to integrate cultivation methods from any lineage is something that other races do not possess.

For example, if you ask the witch clan to cultivate leisure or demonic arts, is that even possible?

Is it possible for demons to cultivate immortality or demonic arts?

In the primordial world, each race has its own traditions.

Even the martial arts of Yuanmeng are not suitable for all the ancient races; they are only suitable for races with naturally strong physiques.

The human race is an exception, which is why they were able to become the dominant race. It's not because of saints, but because of the human race itself.

Chaos Island.

"Master." A weak voice came through.

The six-eared macaque was carrying a round stone ten meters high, its fur already soaked with sweat.

He stood there without any fluctuation of his own magical power.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Meng asked without turning his head.

That round stone was forged by Yuan Meng using the stars of a galaxy, and it weighs as much as a galaxy. Now, the Six-Eared Macaque is carrying it on his body.

"Time's up." The Six-Eared Macaque grinned as he looked at the three long incense sticks in front of him, which had already burned out.

"Is that so?" Yuan Meng glanced at the Six-Eared Macaque, who relied entirely on his physical body to support the weight of a galaxy. This was only the strength of his physical body, without relying on magic power.

“Not enough,” Yuan Meng said calmly. Time flowed over the burnt-out incense sticks, and the next moment, the three incense sticks were restored to their original state as if they had just been lit.

The Six-Eared Macaque grinned and obediently shut its mouth.

You must understand that this is a primordial galaxy, not a galaxy from any other world; it is completely incomparable.

Simply put, it's a quality issue.

A powerful being who could smash a mountain in other worlds might only be able to crush a small pebble in this primordial world.

This is the difference.

The difference in world dimensions means that even the same thing can have completely different qualities in different worlds.

The reason why the Six-Eared Macaque can withstand the weight of a galaxy with his physical body is because his physical body is extremely strong.

While fishing in the sea, Yuan Meng leisurely raised the Six-Eared Macaque.

After all, he was his official eldest disciple. If he lost to his peers in future competitions, he couldn't bear the shame.

Moreover, the Six-Eared Macaque is a promising talent, and Yuan Meng will definitely hone his skills.
