The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 612 The Conflict Between the Chan and Jie Schools Reaches a Feverish End

Isn't the human heart something that rises and falls little by little?

Presumably, the heart of the demon god is the same, except that the demon god has existed for a longer time and has more concerns, so the heart of the demon god will not be corrupted so quickly.

But what if you're never on the right path?

Or rather, what is right in your eyes is not necessarily right in mine.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for hearts to be united, unless they are each other's puppets.

Luo Zu closed his eyes and pondered for another thousand years, but the Tao Te Ching remained on the surface, its meaning actually not much different from what he had understood before.

However, he did not sigh about this. He only lamented that nowadays, each seclusion is measured in thousands of years. He seemed to be in a similar situation to the great beings of the prehistoric era who he used to scoff at. Their cultivation was measured in thousands or tens of thousands of years, and a single seclusion of thousands or tens of thousands of years could not yield any results.

Suddenly, he could understand those ancient golden immortals who had given up and were now lying low. Their cultivation had no future, and their millennia of seclusion had brought no breakthroughs, no increase in wisdom, and no improvement in their cultivation level. At first, they might have just been anxious, but after thousands of millennia of seclusion, they felt helpless and eventually became indifferent.

That's it. Even if I cultivate for another hundred million years, this is all I'll ever achieve. Everyone's talent has its limits. I have to face myself honestly, so I'll just give up and lie low.

Luo Zu hasn't reached that point yet, after all, he's only 49,000... no, he's already 50,000 years old.

In the primordial world, someone his age was still considered young. In some races, someone his age was still a minor, or even still being conceived in their mother's womb...

However, cultivators cannot compare across races; they must be compared at the same level. Are there any Golden Immortals who are 50,000 years old?

Of course there are. Not to mention the recent ones, but even in the distant past, those innate deities were born as beings of the Great Dao, comparable to Golden Immortals.

So if there are Golden Immortals who are only one year old, then having a Golden Immortal who is 50,000 years old is not a big deal. After all, his actual cultivation time, or rather, his time spent in conscious thinking and enlightenment, is probably far greater than that of an old Golden Immortal with a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years.

However, his lifespan is indeed only fifty thousand years.

Furthermore, Luo Zu's cousins ​​and peers, Tie Tou and Huo Wa, are still hovering around the third level of the Heavenly Immortal realm. As for Lu, whose talent surpasses theirs, he is only two years younger than Luo Zu and is Tie Tou's son. He is currently only at the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Ultimately, all I want to say is that Luo Zu's talent, not his race, led him to where he is today.

He thought he had understood this Tao Te Ching before, but now, after reading it carefully, he found it to be no different from what he had thought before.

Luo Zu couldn't figure it out, so he thought he should just let nature take its course. The Tao Te Ching says that one should govern by non-action.

He thought of the same thing, perhaps it could be considered a kind of formula.

But after he sat down again, his cave was "knocked on".

When Luo Zu took a look outside the newly repaired cave dwelling "door," he saw the same group of fellow cultivators whose cave heaven had been breached by his previous experiment.

This is the creditor coming to the door. Luo Zu promised to send the materials to repair their cave heaven, but they haven't delivered them yet, so they've come to collect the debt.

Upon seeing that it was a creditor, Luo Zu naturally swept his bed to welcome him.

"Fellow Daoists, please come in quickly," Luo Zu warmly welcomed them.

There were thirteen Golden Immortals, each with a different appearance; some were even formless and shapeless, existing only as a wisp of energy.

The creatures of the primordial world are incredibly diverse and wondrous. Even if a black hole were to appear before him right now, Luo Zu would not be surprised.

If the universe were to become sentient, it wouldn't need to arrive quietly; its will would directly permeate the entire universe, and even a single word could directly influence the spiritual will of Luo Zu.

Of course, universes vary in size. If it is an ordinary universe, then it will be polluted by Luo Zu. If it is a perfect universe, it is comparable to Taiyi, and Luo Zu will naturally suffer. But if it is the main universe of the primordial world, Luo Zu will be crushed.

The fourteen Golden Immortals who arrived at this moment naturally had names and surnames in Kunlun Mountain; otherwise, they would not have been able to open their own cave heaven on Kunlun Mountain.

If one has no substance behind them, how can they possibly thrive here? Among them, nine are disciples of the Jie Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Zu, you must know the purpose of our visit. Please give us a clear answer: when will the materials for repairing the cave be available to us?" Leading the group was Yu Yuan, a disciple of the Jie Sect and a Qi Immortal. He had already become a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother, but had not yet entered the main sect and was currently still wandering around the outer sect.

Luo Zu naturally had a plan to deal with this character who was listed in the "Investiture of the Gods".

These people will all be considered the second generation of star gods of the Zhou Tian Star Array in the future.

"I dare not and will not let you fellow Daoists down," Luo Zu immediately assured him.

He was in the wrong, so how could he dare to be negligent?

The reason it has been delayed for so long is because this seclusion is very crucial, and I cannot be distracted by repairing their cave.

Repairing a grotto-heaven is not simple. First, the extent of the damage must be verified. Then, the proportion of the Great Dao within the grotto-heaven must be deduced. Some grotto-heavens tend to be associated with a certain Great Dao, while others may have some Great Daos missing. These are all problems.

It doesn't mean that having all five elements complete allows you to reshape the earth, wind, water, and fire elements.

As for directly helping them open up new worlds, that would be simple, but they probably wouldn't be willing, so Luo Zu also had to study other methods.

Then Luo Zu would separate thirteen strands of thought to follow them back to their respective grotto-heavens for investigation.

They did not stop them, nor did they want to delay the matter, as they still needed to discuss the Dao with their fellow disciples from Kunlun Mountain.

They have been quite busy lately, discussing doctrines and expounding the Dharma here and there. A debate can last for a hundred years or more, which is very tiring. After a short rest, they have to rush to the next debate.

If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by their senior uncles and masters, they would have already engaged in a fierce battle with the other side.

Especially those lackeys of the Chan sect.

The reason why they were lackeys was that, unlike the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect did not open its gates wide and accept all comers, so the Chan Sect members did not have much of an advantage in debates and often could not win against the Jie Sect. Later, the Chan Sect searched all over the mountains and fields for like-minded friends and even went down to Kunlun to invite fellow Daoists. In this way, they gradually caught up with the Jie Sect and the two sides became evenly matched.

The Jie Sect naturally couldn't give up its great advantage, so they also went down the mountain to find their former fellow disciples.

The two sides went back and forth, making it quite lively, but it hasn't escalated to a battle of wits yet; it's mostly just a war of words.

Yu Hua was also one of the elites among those who discussed the Dao with the Jie Sect, so even though Luo Zu was busy, they were also very busy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to come and find Luo Zu.

Another reason was that the incident that day was also related to Duobao Daoist, the chief disciple of the Jie Sect, which made them hesitate.

The reason why he is not hesitating now is naturally due to some reasons. Kunlun Mountain is not peaceful, and there are constant disputes. Luo Zu was once a "veteran" of Kunlun Mountain. He has connections with many rogue cultivators and is friends with Duobao Daoren, Xuandu Daoren, Antarctic Immortal, Randeng Daoren, and so on. He can be said to have connections with all three sides. So some people want Luo Zu to take a side, which led Yu Hua and others to settle this old karma.
