The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 497 The Great Calamity of Humanity is Just Around the Corner; Old Friends, Tang Bai, and the Three Immortal Maidens

Although the Jade Purity Saint did not give any instructions or promises, Luo Zu had already received the Taiqing Saint's approval, which was actually enough. Especially since the Three Pure Ones had not yet separated, Taiqing's approval was equivalent to the Three Pure Ones' approval.

With this in mind, Luo Zu was no longer worried. There were many powerful beings among the human race, but they would keep their abilities hidden until the human race faced a major disaster.

After paying homage to the Jade Void Palace, Luo Zu then headed to the Biyou Palace.

As expected, Duobao already knew he had arrived and was waiting for him in front of Biyou Palace.

He was somewhat annoyed by the mountain where Biyou Palace was located, but in addition to Duobao being present, another person's arrival surprised and delighted him.

"Fellow Daoist Bixiao has already returned to the mountain? Why haven't you visited my cave?" Luo Zu revealed the identity of this person in one sentence.

It is Bixiao, one of the three fairy islands in the East China Sea.

The three fairies of the Three Immortal Islands in the East Sea are quite special in Biyou Palace. Because of the abilities of Fairy Yunxiao and the cultivation of their brother Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals can still live a carefree life in the East Sea.

Moreover, it is rumored that after Zhao Gongming switched allegiance to the Shangqing Sage, he was highly valued, and it seems that he has gained considerable benefits from this favor. He is now attempting to break through to the Great Luo Limitless Realm.

If it really happens, the status of the Three Immortals will rise even higher.

Of course, this has little to do with Luo Zu. He and Bi Xiao were just "fleeting acquaintances". Back then, the immortal sect was at the height of its fortune and was recruiting soldiers and horses in the prehistoric land. Bi Xiao saw that Luo Zu was a talented person and wanted to recruit him. However, Luo Zu felt that the immortal sect could not last long, so he did not join. Sure enough, the immortal sect was destroyed by the Heavenly Court in just a few years.

However, the leader of the immortal sect, Dong Wanggong, suffered a calamity, and some powerful figures were captured by the Heavenly Court. The remaining soldiers and generals, under the protection of west Wangmu, went to Kunlun Mountain and joined the Chan Sect and Jie Sect.

The Jade Purity Saint was unwilling to accept many disciples, so he only accepted twelve with good talents, and the rest were all taken in by the Intercepting Sect.

As for why Zhao Gongming and other great supernatural beings did not join the Chan Sect, it was simply because the Jade Purity Saint disliked them.

The sage of Shangqing had long ago stated his educational philosophy—education for all, regardless of social status—so the "remnants" of the immortal sects were completely absorbed by the Jie Sect.

However, some junior disciples of the immortal sects are still hiding in some mountains and have not come to Kunlun, so they have not joined the Jie Sect.

Just like the two good friends Luo Zu made when he traveled through the prehistoric world, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, Luo Zu never saw them in the Kunlun Mountains.

They went to sea to seek refuge with the immortal sect, but their cultivation level was low and they were never given important positions. Later, they did a lot of odd jobs and found it boring, so they resigned and returned to their hometown.

Since their cultivation level was not high, they were not valued too much by the immortal sects. Even when they left, they were not hindered much. They were given a few treasures as compensation for their efforts in coming to the sects after millions of light-years of time.

Luo Zu learned about this matter after consulting with some fellow cultivators in the immortal sects regarding personnel matters.

They also maintain their own records of disciples, even fake immortals who come to seek refuge are recorded.

Therefore, through his connections, Luo Zu quickly found out where Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were.

But where they went is no longer important; Luo Zu's focus must remain on his own people.

Right now, he really wants to be like "Shen Gongbao," able to simply call out to others and ask, "Fellow Daoist, please stay," and he can find a Grand Luo helper.

Unfortunately, Shen Gongbao was destined by fate, and once you fell for his rhetoric, you were truly powerless to resist.

Luo Zu felt that he might have a chance to hide in the future human holy land, Huoyun Cave, when the "Investiture of the Gods" began. Otherwise, if Shen Gongbao asked him, the human ancestor, for help, his sweet words would be enough to stop even the Great Luo Immortal.

Now there is a future party involved. Shen Gongbao has brought together so many important figures from the Jie Sect, including the Three Immortals of the East Sea.

However, Luo Zu will not ask Bi Xiao for help. After all, things have not come to this point yet. If Bi Xiao were to be asked, things would get out of control and could potentially trigger a "Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods".

Bixiao's identity is indeed quite sensitive, involving multiple forces, including former officials of the immortal sects and current outer disciples of the Jie Sect. This alone is enough for the demon race to take seriously.

When the catastrophe is about to strike, even if Luo Zu sacrificed his own flesh, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

But when there's really no other way, then we can only mobilize as many people as we can. If the human race can't survive, then everyone should just give up living in the prehistoric world. At worst, we can recreate the earth, wind, water, and fire, and reopen the prehistoric world.

"I've also heard about the calamities facing humanity from my senior brother. What are your plans?" Fairy Bixiao asked directly.

Even Daoist Duobao couldn't stop him in time.

It is said that Bixiao is now cultivating quite diligently, but he is still hovering in the Taiyi realm and cannot enter the Daluo realm.

But is it already common knowledge that the demon race wants to use human beings to forge weapons?

Luo Zudu received the message three hundred years ago and is only now deciphering it. How did these unrelated people find out about it?

It couldn't have been leaked by some important member of the demon race who didn't want to reveal their name, could it?

Moreover, this matter is not insignificant, as it directly targets the Wu Clan. As a result, the Wu Clan has no choice but to react immediately, either protecting the human race or annihilating them first.

"Has this matter already spread throughout the primordial world?" Luo Zu asked, his mind racing.

Bixiao naturally knew that Luo Zu had misunderstood, so she explained, "There are still few people who know the truth."

Upon hearing this answer, Luo Zu's mind raced once again.

The Heavenly Court of the Demon Race actually acted very meticulously. They may have even used the Daoist technique of blocking information to seal away all intelligence about their own actions. It would be difficult for others to obtain information from them. They would probably be attacked from the level of the Great Dao if they made any contact. Upon hearing just one sentence, it immediately turned into a ball of spiritual energy and replenished the world.

Only those with considerable skill could withstand it.

However, the ban at the level of the Great Dao is only to block the flow of information below the Golden Immortal level. More information can be blocked by other means, such as locking it directly at the information level and turning this information into a curse.

These powerful figures must have a wide variety of methods, making them difficult to guard against.

However, the situation is different in Kunlun Mountain, where a sage resides, making it extraordinary.

"The Heavenly Court's plan won't be implemented in a few hundred years; it will take at least ten thousand years, and at most a million years. You don't need to be too anxious," Daoist Duobao comforted him from the side.

His words were absolutely correct. The Demon Clan's Heavenly Court's scheme against the Witch Clan was a calculated move. To prevent the Witch Clan from discovering their plan, they had to proceed slowly rather than launching it all at once and forcing the Human Clan into a desperate situation. After all, even a cornered rabbit will bite. The Witch Clan also certainly wouldn't want the Demon Clan's plan to succeed, and they would definitely take precautions.

In that case, wouldn't the Wu tribe's entire plan be in vain?

Therefore, the Wu tribe must proceed slowly and steadily, rather than taking a city in an instant.

"Fellow Daoist Duobao is absolutely right," Luo Zu agreed.

"Junior Sister shouldn't get involved in this matter, otherwise the situation will definitely be affected. There's a big difference between a Golden Immortal and a Taiyi Immortal," Daoist Duobao then added.

"I know." Bixiao was not an impulsive person, and she had only met Luo Zu by chance. Why would she help him take on such a big responsibility?

"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Bixiao," Luo Zu said gratefully.

Bixiao nodded: "I came here to find you. Do you know your clansman, Tang?"

Upon hearing this name, Luo Zu was naturally overjoyed. His old friend had left for many years and his whereabouts were unknown. Now that Bi Xiao had mentioned him, it must be due to some kind of predestined connection, that he had received the protection of Fairy Bi Xiao.

"We are both human and once had a bond. Later, because I went out to travel, she also went to travel to the prehistoric world. It is fortunate that she can now become a disciple of Fairy Yunxiao." Luo Zu's thoughts turned around and immediately captured a lot of information related to himself. After deducing it, he immediately understood the matter.

Luo Zu was truly surprised that Tang had such an opportunity. He actually wandered around outside and ended up on the shore of the East Sea. He was even more fortunate to become a disciple of Fairy Yunxiao. It was hard to say whether Tang was lucky or it was the result of arrangements by some important figures.

This is something we can think about more, but it's not good to dwell on things too much right now.

"I came to Kunlun to find you at Tang's request, to help you resolve the calamity facing humanity," Bixiao said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu frowned.

"This matter has nothing to do with Tang. Fellow Daoist Bixiao, please let Tang cultivate well on the Three Immortal Islands and not leave the islands recklessly, lest he fall into the hands of the demon race." Ancestor Luo made his stance clear.

Bixiao said, "Tang is also in trouble now. He is eager to cultivate and wants to quickly become a celestial immortal and transform the grotto heaven so that he can achieve success in his cultivation quickly."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu knew that Tang had obtained the method of the Earth Immortal in the Heavens of the Heart Sea and was cultivating it. However, he had failed to understand it halfway through his cultivation and was now "going astray in his cultivation". His Dao had transformed into a cave heaven. If this continued, he would probably lose his true nature and become one of the constant principles of the operation of the cave heaven.

Bixiao saw the urgency in Luo Zu's heart, but smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, my elder sister has already revised her Daoist method and restarted her cultivation. My elder sister said that your Earth Immortal method is indeed wonderful and has excellent concepts. It is a broad road for Golden Immortal Daoist cultivation. Moreover, under Her deduction, it can directly reach the Taiyi realm. However, there may be a difference between it and your deduction. If you have time in the future, you may be able to go to the Three Immortal Islands and discuss this Dao with Her."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Zu felt a great weight lift from his shoulders.

"It's best if no one is hurt." After a slight sigh, Luo Zu bowed to Bi Xiao and said, "I will certainly go if Fairy Yunxiao invites me. After this matter is settled, I will go to the Three Immortal Islands to discuss the Dao."

Bixiao nodded, and then took out another item.

This thing is yellowish-orange, yet murky and clear, with a kind of inexplicable and contradictory meaning hidden within it.

Its shape is also unpredictable, sometimes it is a small square cauldron, sometimes it is a round-bellied bronze furnace, and sometimes it transforms into a cloud of yellowish haze.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zu immediately communicated with him and learned his name—Hun Yuan Jin Dou.
