Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed.

Chapter 322 Taiqing makes a move, Houtu is revived, and the Earthly Dao Ancestor appears!

After the Thirty-Six Heavens Worlds were integrated into the Chaos Pearl, they underwent another transformation, almost becoming a chaotic world, becoming more profound and possessing unique characteristics.

If its special features are as useful as Yuan Hong imagines, then it would be a perfect match for his upcoming plans.

"This calamity waits for no one; let's act now."

Yuan Hong was ready to go and give it a try immediately.

At this moment, he took out the most precious treasure of humanity that he had not used for a long time—the Humanity Seal!

This seal is a treasure of humanity given to him by Shennong, enhanced through investment. It is the highest treasure of humanity, and theoretically its potential is no less than that of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

At this moment, Yuan Hong took it out in order to sense the location of the ancestral land of the human race, which is the location of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Upon sensing it, Yuan Hong did not hesitate and flew towards that direction immediately.

Soon, he arrived at Fire Cloud Cave, the oldest blessed land of the human race.

At its entrance, there was a powerful sealing array at the level of a saint, which was personally set up by Laozi, and could not be broken by anyone but a saint!

Even with Yuan Hong's current immense strength, it would be a pipe dream to forcefully break through it; it's simply impossible.

However, Yuan Hong simply smiled.

Above his head, the phantom of the Chaos Pearl appeared, emanating the power of the world and enveloping him.

Then, he walked step by step toward the Fire Cloud Cave, as if he had completely ignored the sage's seal, and then he walked in smoothly!

Enveloped by the power of the world, one seemed to naturally merge with this grotto-heaven.

"It's a success!!"

Yuan Hong was overjoyed. The special ability of his current chaotic world was to ignore all obstacles and forcefully infiltrate into any world!

Even a saint's sealing formation couldn't stop him.

When he entered, the Humanity Seal in his hand glowed, radiating a rich aura of humanity, as if summoning all the ancient sages of humanity.

Sensing something inexplicably, all the ancient human sages, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and others imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave were alarmed and rushed here.

"Yuan Hong? What are you doing at Fire Cloud Cave?"

"How did you get in?"

Upon seeing Yuan Hong, the old acquaintance Shennong stared wide-eyed and said in disbelief.

There is a barrier set up by the Supreme Sage outside. Even if all the sages of the human race combined their strength, they would not be able to break through it. How did Yuan Hong get in?

"It's been a long time, Senior Shennong."

Yuan Hong couldn't help but grin when he saw Shennong, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, as well as the other Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and many other ancient sages.

Good heavens, as expected of the flourishing human race, there are over a hundred Grand Luo Golden Immortals alone!

The Five Emperors, Cangjie, and a very few others were at the level of Quasi-Saints.

The Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Man went a step further, reaching the level of Quasi-Sage!

Theoretically speaking, even Yuan Hong's current cultivation level is still half a grade lower than that of the Three Sovereigns. Of course, their actual strength is another matter.

Yuan Hong was very pleased to see these people.

These are all strong individuals in the human race, and they will form his future team.

After all, he possesses the Human Seal and is destined to become the future Lord of Humanity; this is inevitable.

At this moment, everyone was looking at him with curiosity and at the Humanity Seal he was holding, and they all felt a sense of warmth towards him.

Seeing this, Yuan Hong withdrew the power of the chaotic world above his head and was about to greet the ancient sages of the human race.

However, at that moment, his expression suddenly changed.

He discovered that a huge Tai Chi diagram had appeared in the void inside the Fire Cloud Cave.

On the Tai Chi diagram, the pure energy flows, and the Yin and Yang energies swirl, carrying a heavy aura of sage authority...

"Oh no, this is a sneak attack by the Sage Taiqing!"

"Yuan Hong, you've been discovered by Taiqing! Leave immediately! You mustn't fall into the hands of the Sage, or you're finished!"

"If you can come in alone, you can probably get out too."

Shennong's expression also changed drastically upon seeing this; even he was unaware of this hidden trick!

Immediately, he said anxiously, wanting Yuan Hong to leave as soon as possible.

Although we don't know what kind of overwhelming strength Yuan Hong has cultivated to this day, or what methods he possesses, we imagine he is still no match for a sage.

I've entrusted Jingwei to him, he can't be allowed to get hurt!

"Senior Shennong, Senior Fuxi, I have come to Huoyun Cave to lead you all away."

"If you trust me, why don't you enter my cave? I will surely lead you all out safely!"

Yuan Hong took a deep breath, but instead of leaving on his own, he quickly spoke.

He knew that if he ran away this time, and Taiqing Laozi was on guard, he would probably not have the chance to take away the human race's sages again next time!

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Hong is trusted by the Earth Emperor, and more importantly, he possesses a supreme treasure of humanity. Of course, we trust you!"

Fuxi smiled and said, "With this final decision, I have made a decision for many of the ancient sages of the human race. From now on, we will follow Yuan Hong!"

Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong was overjoyed. He immediately raised his hand and waved it, creating a world gate beside him. The gate was incredibly deep and led directly to his Thirty-Six Heavens Chaos World.

Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!

In this critical moment, no one asked any questions. All the ancient sages of humanity threw themselves into this realm, entrusting their lives to Yuan Hong!

This was actually their decision to take a gamble, since Yuan Hong was the owner of the Humanity Treasure, and perhaps there really was hope.

Even if one were to live forever in this Fire Cloud Cave, being imprisoned indefinitely would be worse than death!

"good!"

When Yuan Hong saw so many ancient sages of the human race enter, he was overjoyed. He felt that his Humanity Seal was actually reviving violently, which was something that had never happened before!

It seems that with the return of many ancient human sages, the treasure of humanity has begun to revive, and a mysterious change is quietly taking place...

However, at that moment...

An incredibly oppressive aura of a saint surged forth from beyond the heavens and earth, attempting to envelop the Fire Cloud Cave layer by layer.

"The Supreme Lord Laozi... has made his move!"

Yuan Hong's pupils contracted, and he suddenly looked up at the sky, as if he could see a pair of indifferent eyes through the fiery cloud cave.

Even he was no match for a saint's power.

"Hmph, even a sage can't stop me..."

Fortunately, Yuan Hong's trump card was not to be underestimated; he was certainly prepared for this.

Even a saint cannot stop the Chaos Pearl's ability to traverse the void!

When he was about to activate the Chaos Pearl and flee far away from this place.

Suddenly, an even stronger and more terrifying pressure appeared between heaven and earth.

To be precise, it came from the underworld and filled the heavens and the earth, spreading throughout the entire primordial world!

Then, a huge phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation descended from the sky, appearing outside the Fire Cloud Cave, or rather, above Yuan Hong's head, as if protecting him.

"Taiqing, how dare you touch my people?"

A clear and melodious female voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, accompanied by the chanting of the Great Dao of the Heavens!

"It's Houtu!! Houtu's physical body has already completed its evolution? And she's even become a saint?"

Yuan Hong was both surprised and delighted to detect Houtu's presence!

Unexpectedly, Houtu was so powerful that she was successfully resurrected and even became a saint on the spot, which was something he had not anticipated.

Moreover, judging from this power, Houtu has successfully transformed into the Dao Ancestor of the Earthly Dao and can now mobilize the power of the Earthly Dao's origin!

As a result, Houtu's strength soared once again, significantly surpassing that of Taiqing Laozi!
