The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

Bai Ze accepted the order and left. Within half a day, everything was arranged.

A burly, ferocious demon general led his eight hundred demon soldiers, riding a raging demonic wind, and rushed straight down to the mortal realm.

Their target is a medium-sized human tribe with about three thousand members.

This tribe is located directly east of the ancestral homeland of the human race, only a thousand miles away from Wuyi Mountain.

With Bai Ze secretly using magic to carry them, this group of demon soldiers quietly arrived at the outskirts of the tribe in just one day.

"Lord Demon General, shall we simply charge straight in?"

A little demon licked its fangs and asked eagerly.

The demon general sneered, his eyes filled with contempt:

"Hmph, what's there to fear from mere ants like humans? My men, follow me and charge in! Today, let's feast to our hearts' content!"

In the eyes of the many creatures of the primordial world, the weak human race was no different from walking prey.

This demon general was the same; he never took the human race seriously, regarding them as worthless weeds.

Therefore, as soon as he landed, the demon general brandished his dark weapon, his demonic aura surging, and was about to lead his men to charge forward.

Bai Ze, hidden in the shadows, did not stop them, but simply watched coldly.

What he had to do was to concentrate on sensing every subtle fluctuation in the world, to investigate whether there was the aura of a sage descending or a warning from the heavens.

If the situation changes, he will not hesitate to clean house and kill this group of demon soldiers to sever ties.

Even if the sage notices something amiss, he is confident that he can maneuver and defuse any potential sage's anger.

Meanwhile, atop Mount Wuyi, thousands of miles away, the immortal Taibai, who was lost in thought with his eyes closed, suddenly sensed something, his brows furrowed, and he opened his eyes.

His divine sense spread out and instantly saw the malevolent demonic energy gathering above the tribe and the impending annihilation of the human race.

"It's starting already? These demons are really restless."

Taibai muttered to himself, his tone carrying a hint of coldness and an expected understanding.

Despite having already made some preparations, he still wanted to see for himself the situation and response of the human race.

His figure swayed gently in the mountain breeze and then vanished like wisps of smoke, disappearing without a trace.

In the blink of an eye, Taibai had quietly appeared near the human tribe, looking down below.

"A demon general at the True Immortal Realm leading eight hundred demon soldiers at the Earth Immortal level. It seems this is indeed a test from the Demon Court."

However, when he carefully explored the tribe's interior, he discovered that the most powerful cultivator among them was...

He was merely a human cultivator at the Celestial Immortal realm; the rest were mostly ordinary members of the race who had reached the Qi Refining stage or had never cultivated at all.

"Alas, this tribe is likely doomed. Fine, I will grant you a sliver of hope; whether you can seize it is up to fate."

Taibai sighed. If these demons were to actually break through, the entire tribe would be wiped out.

His plan was to send a human to the human ancestral land to seek help and to help them secretly kill this demon general.

"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

However, before Taibai could make a move, the demon general below roared.

Eight hundred demon soldiers surged towards the human tribe.

The simple gate used to defend against ferocious beasts was smashed to pieces in an instant by the demon soldiers.

The demon soldiers roared as they charged into the tribe, killing anyone they encountered. Amidst the flashing blades and claws, blood splattered everywhere.

With a flick of his finger, Taibai sent a flash of light through the air. A young hunter who was fleeing in terror at the edge of the tribe was instantly teleported thousands of miles away.

The hunter hesitated for a moment, glanced back in the direction of the tribe, a look of grief flashing in his eyes, but he did not turn back.

Instead, he gritted his teeth, used his agility and maneuvering skills, and sped towards the ancestral land of the human race with all his might.

He understood that going back would only mean certain death; only by bringing the message to the ancestral land could he possibly secure a slim chance of survival for his people.

At the same time, Taibai raised his right hand, straightened his index finger and thumb, and folded the rest of his fingers, making a strange gesture.

The power of the Earth Law rapidly condensed at the tip of his index finger.

He locked his gaze on the demon general below who was indiscriminately hacking and slashing, intending to kill him with a single blow.

However, just as the power of the laws at his fingertips was about to burst forth...

Taibai felt the world spinning around him without warning.

When he calmed himself down and opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find that he was no longer in the same place, but in a strange and bizarre space.

Not far in front of him stood a man dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, with delicate features.

The young cultivator with light blue hair smiled and gently waved to him.

Looking at the stranger before him, Taibai felt a sense of peace and reassurance emanating from him.

However, the next moment, he forcibly suppressed that feeling.

The person who could bring me here so quietly is no ordinary person; at the very least, they must be a Great Immortal.

"Who are you, senior? Why are you interfering with this humble Taoist priest?"

The man's voice was gentle and soothing, possessing a calming power.

"I've long heard of your exceptional intelligence, young friend. Why don't you guess who I am?"

Taibai's gaze swept around. Although this space was strange, it did not feel evil. On the contrary, the atmosphere was pure and ethereal.

The man before them was surrounded by a faint aura of auspiciousness, exuding a natural aura of good fortune, and possessed a calm composure that seemed to have a profound understanding of the world.

Considering that he intervened just as I was about to save humanity, and that he was part of the Demon Court's camp, his identity is already quite obvious.

"If I am not mistaken, you must be a wise man of the demon race, the auspicious beast Bai Ze."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's narrowed eyes widened with a deeper smile, and he gently clapped his hands:

"As expected of the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, he is indeed intelligent."

"Senior, you flatter me. Compared to your profound wisdom that illuminates the universe, I am far inferior."

"I am but a firefly compared to the bright moon. But why did you bring this humble Taoist here, senior?"

Bai Ze's gentle smile faded slightly, he sighed softly, and his expression turned serious:

"Young friend, let me ask you this: if the demon race were to attack the human race today, would those sages truly intervene?"

"The human race was created by Nuwa, and also inherited the teachings of Taiqing, which forms the basis of the sage's lineage."

If the demon race were to commit extermination, it would be courting its own destruction, and the sage would never stand idly by!

Bai Ze listened quietly, his gaze seemingly trying to see into the depths of Tai Bai's eyes.

He saw an unwavering conviction in Taibai's eyes.

However, Bai Ze was, after all, a wise man who could foresee all the secrets of heaven.

Throughout his life, he only believed in the results he personally verified and never readily believed any words, even if the other party was a disciple of a sage and what they said was true.

Therefore, even though Taibai answered so confidently, Bai Ze did not completely believe him.

"In that case, please stay here and observe for now. Once this matter is settled, we will see you off."

After saying that, Bai Ze's figure quietly disappeared into this strange space.

Before Li Bai could speak again, a shimmering screen appeared out of thin air before him.

What is clearly reflected on it is the tragedy that is happening to the human tribe outside.

Outside, the human tribes have been transformed into a living hell.

Under the leadership of that True Immortal Realm demon general, the eight hundred demon soldiers moved like tigers among sheep.

Initially, the human cultivators at the Celestial Realm attempted to organize a resistance, protecting their people as they retreated to the back mountain.

But the demon general grinned and struck him from afar, sending him flying backward, coughing up blood, his fate unknown.

Having lost their only shield, humanity has become utterly helpless prey.

The demon soldiers relentlessly pursued the men, women, and children who were fleeing in all directions. Every swing of their claws and demonic blades brought up clouds of blood, and cries and screams echoed through the mountains and fields.

Some cruel demons even pinned down the fallen humans on the spot and began to tear and devour them with their gaping maws, creating an extremely bloody and cruel scene.
