The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 453 A Man Lives Nine Thousand Years, Shangqing Begins its Lectures

Cultivation, discussions of the Dao, practice of techniques, and crafting of weapons—one thing after another, Luo Zu's life was very ordinary, without many ups and downs. But this kind of life was not boring; on the contrary, it had a unique flavor.

There are many fellow Daoists, and we can all confide in each other. However, during the discussions, some fellow Daoists left Kunlun because of trivial matters.

For example, Qingfeng and Mingyue were summoned back by Zhenyuanzi and have not returned to this day.

Perhaps he had something important to do, which is why he was in such a hurry.

As his cultivation progressed, Luo Zu showed no signs of fatigue or weariness towards the Great Dao. Instead, he listened to the anecdotes told by his fellow Daoists. Some cultivators, after a long period of practice, gradually grew weary of cultivation, abandoned all matters of cultivation, and abandoned the Great Dao, focusing only on pleasure, gradually being corrupted and swallowed up by the Great Dao.

Although there is no such thing as "if you don't advance, you will regress" in the cultivation of the Great Dao, as time goes by and years pass, one's will weakens, one's true spirit will become obscured, and one will eventually fall into a long slumber with no possibility of awakening.

This is far more tragic than being killed by an enemy in a battle. At least if one's life is destroyed and one's true spirit is obliterated, there is still a trace of the Dharma within the Great Dao, and there is still a possibility of being resurrected from it.

However, having reached this point, the terrors no longer considered reviving and returning, since there was nothing left in the world for them to cherish or care about.

However, such beings are few and far between. The primordial world is still thriving, so the possibility of such a person appearing is low.

Luo Zu, however, still possessed an ambition to improve himself, so he would not end up in such a state.

Those who discussed the Dao with him were all like that; otherwise, they wouldn't have traveled billions of light-years to Kunlun Mountain to open a cave for cultivation, just waiting for the sage to preach the Dao.

And so another thousand years passed. The primordial world has been very quiet in recent years, with no major upheavals. The witch and demon races have settled into a strange tranquility, while the overseas immortal sects have been making constant moves lately.

From south to north, from east to west, the ancient world is filled with the figures of rogue cultivators from overseas immortal sects.

They can no longer be called rogue cultivators, but should be called immortal cultivators or overseas immortal guests.

What's even stranger is that neither the Lich nor the Demon race hindered the immortal cultivators from searching for talent in the primordial land and the Nine Heavens.

The Lich and Demon races seemed to no longer care about rogue cultivators, maintaining their basic base. They still accepted forces willing to join their races, but they would no longer actively invite or coerce them.

Therefore, the power of the Immortal Sect has expanded visibly within the past thousand years. It is said that three immortal islands that existed when the world was first created have already been occupied by the Immortal Sect. Furthermore, thirty million floating cities spanning thirty thousand miles have been built on the earth. In the Nine Heavens, new grotto-heavens are constantly being opened up, inviting rogue cultivators from the Nine Heavens to join them.

The rapid development of the Immortal Sect is actually quite related to the past actions of the Lich and Demon races.

They were too domineering in the past. Now a new force has arrived, making many promises and will not force them to become a certain race or abandon their original form. They only need to join it.

Therefore, the flourishing of the immortal sects in the prehistoric world owes much to the witch and demon races.

Seemingly realizing this, the Lich and Demon races became less domineering than before, but they didn't become much more gentle either; they simply restrained their past behavior, nothing more.

However, Luo Zu, who had gathered a lot of relevant information, always felt that a storm was brewing and that the Lich and Demon races were probably about to do something big.

Therefore, Luo Zu immediately sent a message back to Luoxiang, telling the clan to be careful and to open up the cave heavens immediately if anything went wrong, so that all the clan members could be taken into the twenty-eight cave heavens that had already been opened.

In addition, the current clan leader was sent to visit and exchange ideas with the Moon Witch Clan, making it clear that the human race would definitely follow the Witch Clan's lead. If war were to be waged against the demon race, the human race would definitely start production on all fronts, accelerating the production of war materials from celestial immortals to true immortals.

This stance definitely needs to be made clear, since the Immortal Sect has no advantage in the current prehistoric version and is absolutely no match for the Lich and Demon races.

In Luo Zu's view, it's best not to meddle in the battle between the Lich and Demon races. They might end up mutually damaging and perishing together. Why jump out at this time and become the target of their common enemy's concentrated fire?

Luo Zu didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he declined Bi Xiao's invitation, but he didn't make his stance too clear afterward. The Wu Clan was probably also paying attention to this matter, and now that the situation was not right, in order to protect the Upper Caveman from being accidentally harmed by the possible reckoning arranged by the Wu Clan, he had to quickly clarify the relationship between the Upper Caveman tribe and the Immortal Sect.

The news brought back from the tribe indicated that the Moon Witch Tribe's reaction seemed to be also puzzled as to why the Upper Caveman was suddenly so loyal.

With this in mind, Luo Zu felt much more at ease. In short, everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged, and what would happen next depended on how the situation developed.

However, there shouldn't be any major disturbances at the moment, since it is currently the time when the sage is preaching, and it's unlikely that anyone would cause trouble at this time.

Therefore, Luo Zu was still able to cultivate freely in the Kunlun Mountains.

Sometimes I mutter to myself about how the beings in the heavens and the sea of ​​my heart are so disappointing, and I haven't seen any of them become Golden Immortals or ascend to the "divine realm".

After all, Luo Zu's "divine realm" has now been properly arranged.

It can only be said that Luo Zu missed out on the Heavenly Demon General, and thus missed out on an entire forest.

Who would have thought that this was just the beginning, but also the peak?

Although the Heavenly Demon General was able to succeed because of the existence of Luo Zu and the power of the Great Dao, and with the addition of various other factors, it can be said that the timing was right, the location was right, and the people were right, which is why this person finally came into being.

After a thorough analysis, Luo Zu came to a conclusion.

The pool of the ocean of the mind is too small.

How can shallow waters nurture dragons? Even the Ancestor of Luo himself had only cultivated to the level of a Golden Immortal. How could he possibly cultivate a Golden Immortal from the myriad heavens of his heart?

Unless he is willing to invest his current cultivation gains into the myriad heavens of his mind, there is no possibility of a Golden Immortal being born from it; otherwise, a Golden Immortal can only be born from his "corpse".

Therefore, it still depends on the improvement of Luo Zu's own cultivation. When he has completed the first step of becoming a Golden Immortal and achieved the Five Elements Converging, perhaps the Heavens and Earth of the Heart Sea will have enough soil to cultivate Golden Immortals.

It can only be said that environmental factors are really too restrictive.

The primordial world was vast enough to nurture a Primordial Saint.

Therefore, the power of that great god Pangu may far exceed people's imagination.

However, it is possible that He gave His all that made such a vast and primordial world possible.

While Luo Zu was in seclusion, another thousand years passed in a flash.

Not many major events have occurred in the world, except that the leaders of the immortal sects, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, have made a trip to Kunlun Mountain.

They seemed to be seeking out the Three Pure Ones to discuss important matters of the primordial world. Luo Zu was unaware of the situation and asked Xuan Du Dao Ren and others, but they also knew nothing about it, only that the matter existed.

"However, Master Shangqing was preparing to give a sermon and did not see them, and Master Yuqing was nowhere to be found either. Only Master received them," Xuandu Daoist replied.

"However, I heard that they also visited Zhenyuan Daxian."

The Crane Boy spoke leisurely from the side.

Because it was close to the time when the sage Shangqing was giving a sermon, everyone came out of seclusion, so this gathering was the one with the most people present.

Before this, Luo Zu had sent out a divine thought to bring over the elites of his clan.

It is said that the human race now has two more Celestial Immortals, even more True Immortals, and a considerable number of Primordial Spirits. Therefore, there are quite a few members of the Luozu clan who have come to Kunlun Mountain this time.

It can only be said that the human race's reproductive ability is truly remarkable, and the cultivation talent of the prehistoric human race is truly outstanding.

"The Queen Mother of the West originally established her Daoist temple on Kunlun Mountain, so it's normal for her to come here," said Daoist Duobao.

"Then Dongwanggong is normal? Going to find Zhenyuan Daxian is normal?" the rogue cultivator Tuoli asked rhetorically.

This person, who had also opened a cave in the Kunlun Mountains to cultivate in seclusion, disliked getting involved in the witch-demon battles below the mountain, so he moved to the Kunlun Mountains long ago.

Later, he wanted to become a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, but after much deliberation, he couldn't decide which one to follow, so he decided to follow them all.

And then... no more.

"The gentle breeze and bright moon have arrived; let us ask them." Luo Zu pointed to his two friends who were traveling through the void from a very distant place.

Zhen Yuanzi and other immortals from Wanshou Mountain were also traveling with them. Sensing Luo Zu's undisguised divine sense, they also "looked over" from afar. Upon seeing that it was Luo Zu, they also showed a kind smile.

Afterwards, Qingfeng and Mingyue bid farewell to Zhen Yuanzi and the others, and went straight to where Luozu and the others were.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone inquired about the rumors circulating about the Immortal Sect searching for Zhen Yuanzi.

"Is that so?" Qingfeng and Mingyue both looked puzzled.

"Our master is currently practicing Falun Dafa. He has closed the Wuzhuang Temple and isolated Wanshou Mountain, preventing outsiders from entering. If it weren't for the sage preaching, His Majesty would not have come down from the mountain," Qingfeng explained.

No one asked what kind of magic Zhenyuan Daxian was practicing; that was his private matter. Asking too much would probably only provoke his anger and gossip.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group began to talk about recent major events in the prehistoric world.

However, they didn't chat for long before it was time for the Shangqing Sage to begin his lecture.
