The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 401 Luo Zu Discusses the Dao, Golden Immortals Block His Path

"Chieftain, the situation in the lower realms is quite treacherous. I've heard that the false emperor of the Immortal Realm has been cursed by the Heavenly Demon General of the Heavenly Demon Realm and is now in decline. He has sealed himself in the Immortal Court, and the Immortal Realm is also in turmoil. Do you intend to take action?" A group of tribal elders sat around a stove, listening to Ancestor Luo preach and teach.

In their spare time, they would chat and talk. After all, it was a long journey, and there was still a long way to go to Kunlun. Three hundred years was too long. They would listen to the clan leader preach, discuss the Dao with each other, and then go into seclusion. They would also take some time to explore the heavens of the "lower realm".

Today, the Upper Caveman tribe has its own name for the Heavens of the Mind Sea. Because the "flow of time" is extremely fast and the "quality" of the beings there is far inferior to that of the beings in the Primordial World, it is named the Lower Primordial World.

When they travel to the lower realms, they can feel much more relaxed and have fewer worries. Even if their physical bodies and consciousness perish, they can return to their original primordial forms without any danger to their lives.

As for why the question about Luo Zu was asked, it was simply because everyone was guessing that the immortal elder and the martial god were both clan leaders.

However, there is no direct evidence, and the clan chief has never admitted it, so everyone has confirmed it.

So, they decided to test the waters.

Luo Zu, who was staring at the campfire with his eyes half-open and half-closed, did not give an answer.

"Clan leader? Clan leader?" Huowa, thinking that Luozu was lost in thought, came over and called softly.

"What for?" Luo Zu asked back.

"I thought you were wandering in spirit, traversing the heavens," Huowa said with a fawning smile.

"Have you reached a conclusion in your discussion?" Luo Zu asked.

What kind of Dao are they discussing? It's nothing more than the Dao of Humanity proposed by Luo Zu.

Although the path of humanity has been established in the world of Fire Cloud Cave, it has been sealed away by a certain unnamed being and cannot be shown to the world now, but it is still fine to discuss it.

Despite their discussions, the 389 tribal elders present couldn't come up with anything.

They were originally human, and had established laws and regulations for the Upper Caveman tribe for many years. Many of them had served as tribal chiefs and accomplished many "shocking" feats. Logically speaking, discussing humanity should be a piece of cake for them.

However, after three years of discussion, they only scratched the surface, focusing on the rules and regulations, without even observing the underlying humanistic principles, let alone the deeper humanistic and legal principles.

It can only be said that humanity has been suppressed to an extreme degree, and being caught in the middle of it makes it even more awkward.

Therefore, even if their combined wisdom is astonishing, their shackles and constraints will only confine them to the surface of humanity.

They could see that they were stuck and could not move forward, so they did not go any further. The sparks of wisdom could not be ignited, and the discussion of the Way also went astray.

As for where it deviates.

In other words, you discuss what the Primordial Chaos of a Sage is, he discusses the relationship between the Witch and Demon races, and also discusses how to consume the flesh and blood of prehistoric beasts.

In twos and threes, they would chat endlessly with their friends.

As they talked, someone brought up recent events in the lower realms.

Some elders complained that it was becoming increasingly difficult to survive in the human world, as the Dharma-ending Age was permeating every inch of land and every sea in the human world.

"The immortals of the celestial realm are not human beings, but wolfish and ambitious. They failed to harm the great saints of the mortal world, but instead destroyed the great world of cultivation in the mortal world. In the end, they left behind all kinds of poisonous remnants of fighting, making the mortal world no longer peaceful."

"The Immortal Realm is no good, and the Heavenly Demon Realm is even worse. The once prosperous Eight Immortals World was ruined by the Heavenly Demons. If it weren't for the many ancient relics still remaining on the earth, I would have thought that this realm had just been created."

"You guys are alright, but the Floating World is truly outrageous."

"What's wrong with the Floating World? It's great! Under the rule of the One God, no one dares to cause trouble. Isn't it wonderful to live in peace and tranquility?"

A rebuttal followed: "This is going too far. What you don't know is that the One God forces all living beings to believe in Him, to pay their respects morning and evening, and to pray for Him three times a day. Even true immortals and celestial beings cannot escape this. I suspect that if I stay here any longer, I will inevitably become His believer and have to keep praying for Him even after I return to the primordial world."

These words immediately caused a great stir around the campfire.

Each person offered their own version of events, discussing the evils associated with their own world.

This discussion went on and on, with some elders directly investing their consciousness into the lower realms. Although many cavemen nowadays invest their consciousness into the lower realms, the lower realms are quite large, and because Luo Zu deliberately concealed them, the cavemen's identity as humans from another world has never been exposed.

In fact, there were times when their identities were exposed. The powerful beings in the lower realms knew that there were heavens beyond heavens, so they only thought that the cavemen who had entered the human world were visitors from another realm.

Therefore, some people have suffered difficulties, but some have also received preferential treatment.

Some of them even established sects and schools in the human realm, recruiting talented individuals as disciples and followers.

However, they also find it difficult to gain a deep understanding of the world.

Because the time difference between the two worlds is too great, they are not free to stay there all the time. Once they go out, the rapidly passing time disappears in the blink of an eye.

As Luo Zu opened up the rest of the world, the Upper Cave Man quickly became a "disaster," opposing the natives and committing banditry.

This is considered a "normal" thing, which is why it was investigated.

These cavemen were like the "Sixth Calamity," but they didn't do the same morally reprehensible and inhuman things.

When discussing the lower realms and heavens, there is one thing that cannot be avoided.

That is the Celestial Realm and Celestial Court.

However, none of the cavemen were summoned by the celestial realm, which initially filled them with righteous indignation, but they gradually came to see it as normal.

Because there is only one way to reach the celestial realm: ascension, which inevitably requires the cultivation of a celestial being. The cavemen of that time…

Only Luo Zu is a celestial being or higher.

So they felt relieved.

There is no such thing as a state of being until it is reached.

As for enabling humans to break through in the lower realms, it is too difficult. Because of their status, they can only make breakthroughs in their original form in the prehistoric world. In particular, the spiritual energy consumed during the breakthrough and the resulting phenomena are probably unbearable for the human realm, and it is very likely that the world will fall into the Dharma-ending Age prematurely.

Furthermore, the cultivation of the True Immortal realm is a slow and meticulous process, where one's immortal energy is gradually refined. It is not something that can be achieved in an instant by leaping to the ninth rank. Not everyone is as eager to catch up with Luo Zu in terms of immortal energy.

Even after breaking through to the next rank, one must slowly accumulate immortal energy and gradually become familiar with the mysteries brought about by the minor realm of the new rank. These are not things that can be accomplished overnight.

Therefore, while true immortals cultivate slowly, the human race's cultivation speed is extremely fast compared to other races in the prehistoric world.

Therefore, everything needs to be compared.

Just as the tribal elders were having a heated discussion, the group, who were traveling through the void, suddenly felt a jump around them, as if they had bumped into something.

Before they could even inquire about Luo Zu's situation, he replied, "It's alright. There are Golden Immortals fighting ahead, which has disrupted the void."
