Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 26 Zhenyuan Daxian!

After a tense and fierce competition, only eight human geniuses remain on the stage.

Having reached this point, those who remain are naturally the most outstanding geniuses among the human race, each possessing exceptional strength.

These eight human geniuses, without exception, have all entered the sixth level of the Sendai Secret Realm, and have all cultivated to the perfection level.

These human geniuses are just one step away from crossing the Sendai Secret Realm and ascending to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

In the primordial world, the Quasi-Emperor realm is equivalent to the Great Luo Golden Immortal. No matter where you are, you are considered a master.

Compared to the Lich and Demon races, the human race has far too few Great Luo Golden Immortals; at most, there are only four, including Suirenshi.

Only when enough Great Luo Golden Immortals are born can the human race truly be compared to, or even compete with, the Wu and Yao races.

However, even with the cultivation of the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique, crossing the threshold of the Sendai Secret Realm and the Quasi-Emperor is an extremely difficult task.

But in these eight human geniuses, Jiang Heng saw hope. Perhaps soon, the human race would have several more Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

These eight human geniuses all cultivated complete imperial scriptures, and each of them had their own unique strengths.

After a fierce competition, a human genius who cultivated the "True Scripture of the Sun" stood out and became the final champion.

After Jiang Heng personally presented prizes to all the winners, the first Human Race Genius Battle came to a close.

However, after the first Human Genius Battle concluded, Jiang Heng announced that the human race would hold a Genius Battle every hundred years thereafter.

Just like this Human Race Genius Battle, the next Human Race Genius Battle will also have generous prizes.

The entire human race was once again in an uproar, and many geniuses who had not yet cultivated for long were eager to make a name for themselves a hundred years later.

Through this human genius competition, a large number of geniuses have emerged among the human race, and these people will become the key targets for the human race to cultivate in the future.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the next hundred years will still be a period of rapid development for the human race.

As for this human race genius battle, Jiang Heng also gained a lot, which can be seen from the amount of luck he possesses.

Jiang Heng spent some of his luck points on this human race genius battle, but he still has a full 97500 luck points.

With nearly 100,000 points of luck, Jiang Heng had never been so wealthy. How many powerful treasures could he exchange for in the system?

With so much luck points, some plans that were previously impossible for Jiang Heng can now be put on the agenda.

However, although the human race has greatly increased in strength, there is still a huge gap between them and the witch and demon races.

This is unavoidable; the Lich and Demon races have accumulated over a long period of time since their inception to reach their current state.

The human race has only existed for a short time. If Jiang Heng were given tens of thousands of years, he would be confident that he could give the human race sufficient strength.

This trip to the human race was a novel experience for both Houtu and Xuanming, the Ancestral Witches.

After the human race's genius battle ended, Houtu Ancestral Witch and Xuanming Ancestral Witch stayed in the human race for a while to exchange cultivation insights with Jiang Heng.

Under Jiang Heng's guidance, Houtu Ancestral Witch has begun to cultivate the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" and is making good progress.

This was also thanks to Houtu Ancestral Witch's powerful physical body, which gave her a very high starting point.

However, due to the lack of a primordial spirit, it is likely that the ancestral witch Houtu has little hope of cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to its full potential.

On this day, while Jiang Heng was discussing the Dao with Houtu, the Old Ancestor Hongyun, who had been nurturing his soul in the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, suddenly sent a telepathic message to Jiang Heng.

It turns out that after more than a hundred years of recuperation, although the soul of the Old Ancestor Hongyun had not been able to reunite, his condition had stabilized.

As long as the Ancestral Witch Houtu transforms into a being in the cycle of reincarnation, and the Old Ancestor Hongyun is reincarnated and rebuilt within the six realms of reincarnation, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Jiang Heng had also discussed this matter with Ancestor Hongyun. Ancestor Hongyun was also aware that it was not far from the time when Houtu Ancestral Witch would transform into a being of reincarnation.

Recalling all his experiences since his birth, Ancestor Hongyun was filled with emotion. Before reincarnation, the only thing he couldn't let go of was his closest friend.

Therefore, before reincarnation, the Old Ancestor Hongyun hoped that Jiang Heng would take him to the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng's heart stirred slightly. He had long admired the name of that ancestor of earth immortals, but had never had the chance to meet him.

According to later legends, during the human race's calamity, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals took great care of the human race and can be considered to have done them a favor.

Moreover, Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, is a veteran Quasi-Saint in the primordial world, and his strength is unfathomable.

If Houtu could obtain the assistance of this powerful figure, she would likely have a greater chance of success when she undergoes reincarnation.

Jiang Heng discussed this matter with Houtu, the ancestral witch. After some discussion, Jiang Heng and his two companions headed towards the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

When it comes to Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, the most famous things are naturally the innate spiritual root ginseng fruit and the earth book transformed from the earth's membrane.

However, many people have overlooked Zhen Yuanzi's own cultivation level. In the primordial world, he was already a top expert second only to the saints.

Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple is located in the west, which is considered the territory of two Western sages. However, Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, was able to gain a foothold in the western land.

Having neither been accepted as a disciple by the two Western saints nor having close ties with the Western religion, one can imagine how powerful Zhen Yuanzi was.

With the strength of Jiang Heng and his two companions, it didn't take them long to reach the vicinity of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

Jiang Heng and the other two did not make any attempt to conceal their presence, and with Zhen Yuanzi's strength, he naturally discovered their whereabouts long ago.

When Jiang Heng and his two companions arrived at the gate of Wuzhuang Temple, two young Taoist boys greeted them outside, but this displeased the Xuanming Ancestral Witch.

"This Zhen Yuanzi is quite arrogant! He only sent two Daoist boys to greet us!" Xuanming Ancestral Witch said with some dissatisfaction.

The Wu Clan is, after all, the overlord of the primordial world. Since Zhen Yuanzi knew that the two Ancestral Wu were coming, why did he not show himself?

Sending only two Taoist boys to open the door to greet them was clearly a slight disrespect to the two Ancestral Witches, so it's no wonder that Ancestral Witch Xuanming was a little angry.

"Xuanming, you must not be rude!" said Houtu, the Ancestral Witch.

Compared to the Xuanming Ancestral Witch, the Houtu Ancestral Witch was much more composed. After being reprimanded by the Houtu Ancestral Witch, the Xuanming Ancestral Witch could no longer retaliate.

Jiang Heng smiled without saying a word. He knew in his heart that Zhen Yuanzi's behavior was not without reason.

Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, has survived since ancient times and has been able to preserve himself in the subsequent great calamities.

Even during the Journey to the West, the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals was still the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals, and could still be called the Emperor of the World, which was naturally extraordinary.

Zhen Yuanzi may not be well-known, but his grasp of the overall situation of heaven and earth is exceptionally accurate, and he is very clear-headed.

In the present primordial world, the Wu and Yao races are undoubtedly the overlords, but Zhen Yuanzi probably already knows in his heart that these two races are already a thing of the past.

Knowing that the two ancestral witches were coming, Zhen Yuanzi only sent a young Taoist boy to greet them, which made his intentions very clear.

On the surface, he doesn't want to offend anyone, but he also doesn't want to get closer to them. Zhen Yuanzi probably doesn't want to get involved in the vortex of the Lich War.

Such a low profile, and avoiding all entanglements with cause and effect, is the survival rule of the primordial world. No wonder Zhen Yuanzi has been able to remain outside the great calamity of heaven and earth.

Led by the two young Taoist disciples, Jiang Heng and his two companions soon arrived at a Taoist temple. After sitting quietly for a while, Zhen Yuanzi finally appeared.

"Please forgive me for not greeting you properly!"

The speaker was an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a purple-gold crown. The priest had an air of otherworldly wisdom and authority, and his demeanor was extraordinary.

"We are the three of us, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused!" Jiang Heng said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Seeing that Jiang Heng was the first to reply, Zhen Yuanzi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was somewhat surprised.

Zhen Yuanzi naturally recognized Houtu and Xuanming, the two ancestral witches; otherwise, he wouldn't have personally appeared to meet them.

However, among the two ancestral witches present, it was a man who spoke first, while Houtu and Xuanming, the two ancestral witches, did not react at all.

Doesn't this mean that the man in front of us is actually the leader of this group of three?

Who exactly is this person who could make the two Ancestral Witches willingly submit to him? Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but feel a little curious about the identity of the man before him.

After they both sat down and exchanged pleasantries, Zhen Yuanzi could no longer contain his curiosity and asked:

"Forgive my poor eyesight, but may I ask how this fellow Daoist is addressed, and what brings you here?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Please know, fellow Daoist, that I am the sovereign of the human race, calling myself Emperor Heng. I have come here on the behalf of a fellow Daoist!"

"The sovereign of the human race? The human race now has such a powerful figure?" Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed slightly as he asked in surprise.

In the primordial world, all living beings knew that the human race was weak. According to Zhen Yuanzi, the strongest human seemed to be only a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Even with Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation level, after carefully observing Jiang Heng for a long time, he still couldn't discern Jiang Heng's true strength. This alone demonstrates that Jiang Heng is extraordinary.

Moreover, even if Zhen Yuanzi was foolish, he knew that Jiang Heng was definitely not simple, given that he could gain the approval of the two Ancestral Witches.

Jiang Heng is a Grand Luo Golden Immortal? But could a Grand Luo Golden Immortal be so unfathomable to Zhen Yuanzi? Could he gain the approval of two Ancestral Witches? Don't be ridiculous!

"Hahaha! Old Taoist, you're just making a fuss over nothing!"

Xuanming Ancestral Witch was a vengeful person, and seeing Zhen Yuanzi's surprise, Xuanming Ancestral Witch did not miss the opportunity to mock him.

Zhen Yuanzi quickly recovered and paid no attention to the mockery of the Xuanming Ancestral Witch. He spoke again:

"As you just mentioned, you came here on the behalf of another Daoist. May I ask who that Daoist is?"

"It is none other than your close friend, Ancestor Hongyun!" Jiang Heng said.

"What? Hongyun?" Zhen Yuanzi asked in astonishment and disbelief.
