The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 584 Cultivating Immortality for Forty Thousand Years

The primordial world is no longer the same as it used to be, but your grandpa will always be your grandpa.

The old man here is none other than the Three Pure Ones and other such old men.

Of course, this also includes the Great Immortal Zhenyuan standing before Luo Zu.

These old men also like to say that the future belongs to you descendants, but the present belongs to them, and the present will always be the present, there will be no future.

The social hierarchy in the primordial world was too rigid; those who first attained the Great Luo realm might not necessarily lead those who came after them to do so.

The Great Dao has its limitations; the total number of those who can attain the Great Luo realm is limited. To attain the Limitless realm and even higher realms, although one cannot rely solely on the Great Dao, one must still cultivate based on these various Great Daos.

A towering building rises from the ground; without transcending worldly concerns, one cannot claim to have abandoned the Great Way.

However, the Great Luo Limitless already implies transcending the primordial world, which is why there is a further step forward, which is to be able to obtain the Primordial Chaos without restraint even in the Chaos Limitless.

Even if Luo Zu were to rack his brains, he couldn't figure out how someone at the Great Luo Realm could break through to the Limitless Realm, which seemed to be an unimaginable realm.

"Don't overthink it. Now that you've reached a certain level, there's a way to advance to that level, and a reasonable basis for it." Luo Zu told Zhen Yuan Da Xian his innermost thoughts. He didn't scorn or scold him, but only offered this comforting word.

After talking with Zhen Yuanzi, in the end, only He remained, discussing the profound mysteries of the Great Dao and the Daoist methods He had created.

Luo Zu was naturally overjoyed to receive teachings and guidance from such a figure, but being able to understand them was another matter entirely. Fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi had not come to make things difficult for him, nor was he going to give him any tests; he had simply come to deliver the teachings.

Zhen Yuanzi created his own school of Daoist arts, which is the method of Earth Immortals. However, his Earth Immortals are different from Luo Zu's Earth Immortals. They strive for merit in small areas and use small plots of land to obtain infinite Daoist arts. This is what makes them Earth Immortals.

Just like Zhen Yuanzi's "Universe in the Sleeve," a renowned immortal technique, it involves creating wonders within the small space of a sleeve. When Luo Zu heard about it, he found it quite remarkable.

"I will pass this method on to all living beings and will not keep it to myself. Fellow Daoist, please help me spread it widely when the time comes," Zhen Yuanzi said leisurely.

Then Zhen Yuanzi preached to Luo Zu for three thousand years. For the first thousand years, Zhen Yuanzi encouraged Luo Zu to ask more questions. For the next thousand years, Zhen Yuanzi did all the preaching. And for the last thousand years, Luo Zu did all the asking.

After finishing his sermon, Zhen Yuanzi drifted away without lingering.

Luo Zu also wanted to persuade him to stay, but he said, "Passing on the Dharma is of utmost importance; you cannot linger."

Perhaps He truly loves spreading the Dharma.

What Zhenyuan Daxian was planning was none of Luo Zu's business. Today was his 40,000th birthday, and he had been cultivating for 40,000 years, yet he was still stuck in the Golden Immortal realm.

"I've disgraced my fellow transmigrators from Earth."

However, he no longer bears many traces of human nature. Compared to the long years and countless experiences he has accumulated, the information from that memory is negligible.

To be honest, he didn't feel much of a sense of belonging to Earth; on the contrary, he felt a stronger connection to the prehistoric world and the human race there.

As for those relatives and friends, although the memories are still vivid, they are now considered dispensable.

Forty thousand years is a really long time, especially since he doesn't slumber for thousands or tens of thousands of years like other Golden Immortals.

With a soft exhale, Luo Zu suppressed his thoughts and turned his gaze to the Kunlun Mountains, the territory of the Upper Cave Man.

The tribe is celebrating his 40,000th birthday. Usually, celebrations are held every 10,000 years, and in earlier times, they were held only once every 1,000 years. However, this was forcibly changed by Luo Zu.

He really didn't want such fancy things. After a long time, after a million years, wouldn't he have to celebrate a hundred birthdays, with trillions of people praying to him collectively? On that day, all sorts of positive and negative emotions and thoughts would flood his mind, which wouldn't feel good, although it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

But being forced to feel longing for someone like this is really not a very meaningful thing.

Therefore, Luo Zu had to issue another order that this so-called birthday celebration should not be held anymore. Other human leaders could embellish their own reputations if they wanted, but they should not associate themselves with him, nor should they care about the face of his status as the ancestor of the cavemen, and should not use him as an endorsement.

However, the human race is still in a period of vigorous progress and has not yet fallen into decadence and extravagance.

Therefore, when Luo Zu gave this order, a group of people naturally obeyed, while a large group of people did not approve of such a celebration of their ancestor's birthday.

This will only fuel an unimaginable decadence, since with the establishment of human morality and ethics, many seniority-based practices will occur frequently, and many unhealthy trends will run rampant.

But Luo Zu never intervened. In fact, there were some signs of extravagance and hedonism, but he did not suppress them. Such thoughts could not be suppressed anyway; they would exist now and would not be less so in the future. So he simply waited and saw how things would develop.

Moreover, Luo Zu firmly believed that thought is free. Although he would monitor the thoughts of all living beings in the Heavens of the Heart Sea, he would not interfere with them.

The beings in the myriad heavens of the mind have developed for so many years, and there are many kinds of desires. Some worlds have even experienced terrifying diseases such as the pollution of the mind, which directly pollutes all the living beings in the world. Many negative emotions such as greed, anger, ignorance, resentment and hatred have erupted, which has aroused the demon realm and given birth to a demon lord of the mind and a group of demon kings of the desire realm.

These demons were not born from Luo Zu's random thoughts, and they were different from the early Heavenly Demon Lord. As a result, a turmoil broke out in the Heavenly Demon Realm, causing it to split into two factions: the Heavenly Demons and the Desire Realm Heavenly Demons.

However, this situation was actually within Luo Zu's expectations, only it happened many years later than he anticipated. With so many beings living in the myriad heavens of the Heart Sea, all sorts of negative emotions would have been present, and with such intertwining and gathering, these kinds of inner demons should have been nurtured long ago.

However, the people of the Upper Cave often immerse themselves in the myriad realms of the mind where such demons of desire are born, so their minds are naturally not as simple as those of the Upper Cave people in their early, barbaric and ignorant period.

During the three thousand years that Luo Zu listened to the Dao, celestial beings were born among the Upper Cave Man, and their number has now reached 607, with an annual increase, which can be said to be a period of explosive growth.

In addition, the human race now has not only national divisions, but also numerous sects, which is also learned from the myriad heavens of the mind sea.

However, the sacred land of the Upper Caveman, Luoxiang, can still firmly suppress the entire tribe. All the Celestial Immortals are concentrated in the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven of Luoxiang, so the Upper Caveman tribe remains stable.

In short, the territory of the Upper Cave Man now has some of the prototypes of the cultivation world in novels.

However, the human population is simply too large, and the resources are firmly controlled by various kingdoms. In addition, the application technology of Taoist runes has made considerable progress, so the situation of organized crime cultivating immortality has not yet emerged.

However, in the myriad worlds of Luo Zu's Heart Sea, there are many worlds where the strong prey on the weak and immortals are separated from mortals.
