The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 45 How can one cultivate the Tao if one is timid and hesitant?
Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace

Zhou Chen, who was deducing the cultivation technique, woke up from his deduction. He sensed that the power he left on the martial arts stone tablet had been activated. His disciple or his former tribe must have encountered an invincible expert. After all, it was someone related to him. There was no rush to continue deducing the cultivation technique, so he withdrew from the deduction and prepared to investigate what caused the stone tablet to be activated.

He won't interfere unless there's a major problem. Young birds eventually have to fly on their own, and constantly protecting them isn't necessarily a good thing in this dangerous wilderness.

Zhou Chen directly sensed the secrets of heaven. Although he was in the midst of a great calamity and the secrets of heaven were somewhat chaotic, it was still quite easy to investigate what had just happened to someone, especially a weak person.

After the investigation, a powerful and vast aura suddenly erupted from Zhou Chen's body, directly knocking over the many Jie Sect disciples who were listening to the Dao at Biyou Palace without them even realizing it.

The Tongtian Sect Leader sensed Zhou Chen's aura the moment it erupted, but it was too late. He could only isolate Zhou Chen's aura and protect the disciples who were blasted away by it, preventing them from being harmed again.

The disciples in Biyou Palace were listening to the sage's sermon when they suddenly felt as if they had been struck in the chest by a giant hammer. When they opened their eyes, they were already flying in the air. Some of the luckier disciples were almost touching the wall when they were caught by a gentle force and slowly put down.

When they tried to understand what was happening, an incredibly powerful pressure pressed down on them, pinning them to the ground and rendering them unable to move.

The Tongtian Sect Leader twitched his lips. Was this little bastard planning to wipe out the entire Jie Sect?

With a wave of his hand, he directly isolated Zhou Chen's aura.

The disciples in Biyou Palace then regained their mobility. When they got up, they were stunned by the scene before them. Even the disciples with lower cultivation levels who were injured by the impact of the aura forgot the pain in their bodies.

Where Bixiao had been standing, a figure whose face was obscured was now surrounded by countless laws. These laws continuously formed various Great Dao powers, and countless identical Great Dao powers merged into pillars of Great Dao power, with thousands of pillars of Great Dao power protecting this majestic being.

Although they were separated, they could still see that the aura of this mysterious being was faintly comparable to that of the sage.

The disciples of the Jie Sect were all speculating: Who was this being? How dare he be so bold as to release his aura at will in a sage's dojo, and even fight against a sage without being at a disadvantage!
Jin Ling, Gui Ling, Wu Dang, and the San Xiao were aware of some of Zhou Chen's situation, but they were also surprised that Zhou Chen could actually contend with his master's (teacher's) aura. They knew Zhou Chen was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong! At the same time, they were also very curious about what Zhou Chen had done to cause this. After all, Zhou Chen was usually very easy to talk to, so what could have happened that made him ignore the presence of a saint and unleash his aura?
“Zhou Chen, this is ordained by Heaven, and even a sage cannot stop it.”

Tongtian frowned and said that he was not worried about the safety of this disciple, but rather about what kind of huge trouble this disciple might cause that would be impossible to control and would anger the Heavenly Dao.

After all, with Zhou Chen's strength, he belongs to the top group of great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world. It can even be said that if a great supernatural being does not have a supreme treasure to protect them, they will not be a match for Zhou Chen at all.

When ordinary people see the countless Dao auras on Zhou Chen's body, they might wonder how he cultivates.
However, the Tongtian Sect Master knew that Zhou Chen had hundreds of millions of second primordial spirits. It was obvious that these great Daos were comprehended by Zhou Chen's second primordial spirits.

Putting everything else aside, just the release of these second primordial spirits alone—assuming the lowest level is a Grand Luo Golden Immortal—means over 800 million Grand Luo Golden Immortals with the same mindset, plus one top-tier powerful cultivator. Even without using their trump cards, the Wu and Yao races combined probably couldn't handle him. Even if they did use their trump cards, they couldn't kill him; at most, they could suppress Zhou Chen for a while. Therefore, Tongtian wasn't worried about Zhou Chen's safety at all; instead, he was worried about the Wu and Yao races, fearing that this little rascal would wreak havoc on them and kill a few more high-ranking Wu and Yao members, which would truly be unmanageable.

“Teacher, I am a human being! I cannot stand idly by when humanity is in trouble.”

Zhou Chen said resolutely. He didn't care about destiny or the grand scheme of things. He only sought clarity of mind; what was the point of cultivating the Dao if he was timid and hesitant?
He could simply hide in the river of time or in chaos; he refused to believe that the will of Heaven could bring him back.

Anyway, he had already accumulated enough. Leaving the prehistoric world would at most mean he would have no reference point and the world would evolve a little slower. As for anything else, Zhou Chen really didn't need it.

"Alas! The will of Heaven cannot be changed. Be careful. The souls of the human race were collected into the Mountain and River Map by Fuxi. The human race did not suffer a great loss."

Seeing Zhou Chen's resolute expression, Tongtian sighed softly and then offered a word of advice.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen's expression softened considerably. He had only seen the tragic state of the human race and hadn't really noticed this matter. If that was the case, there was no need to be so ruthless.

The great calamity of humanity was indeed an inevitable trend of Heaven. Otherwise, how could humanity have become the protagonist of the world after the Lich War? It was because the Lich slaughtered humanity and incurred karmic debts that humanity was able to absorb the vast amounts of unclaimed fortune from both the Lich and Lich races after the war, thus becoming the protagonist of the world. In addition, although humanity was weak in strength, its numbers were enormous, and its aptitude was generally average, making cultivation difficult and absorbing less spiritual energy. Of course, the number of strong individuals who lost also decreased, resulting in less damage to the world.

If the Wu and Yao races were to become the protagonists of heaven and earth, one race would only worship Pangu, while the other would be ambitious and want to use the fortune of becoming the protagonists of heaven and earth to further their cultivation, achieve Hunyuan, and bring the entire prehistoric world under the rule of the Yao race.

What role will the sages play then? Regardless of whether the lich or the demon wins, the sages will be unable to educate the masses. Moreover, as they lose their opponents, their numbers will increase dramatically, and their demand for primordial spiritual energy will also grow, which is something the Heavenly Dao does not want to see.

Although Mount Buzhou can absorb chaotic energy and transform it into innate spiritual energy through the earth's veins, the amount is ultimately limited. Once the amount absorbed by cultivators exceeds the amount transformed, the primordial world will slowly degenerate.

Therefore, it was inevitable that the Wu and Yao races would withdraw from the prehistoric stage. Even if one side won, the Heavenly Dao and the Six Sages would take action to annihilate and suppress them.

In fact, both the Lich and Demon races have gone down the wrong path.

Okay, that’s a long way off!

Since the souls of the human race have been taken away, there is no need to proceed according to the original plan. A fight is definitely necessary, after all, it is necessary to deter them from bullying the human race at will. It is also a way to make the other races in the prehistoric world behave themselves, since the human race is really too weak and can be bullied by anyone.
