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

Chapter 41 The Astonishment of Grand Master Xuandu!

After resting for a while, Grand Master Xuandu went out alone to see how the human race was developing.

Grand Master Xuandu is shouldering a heavy responsibility this time, to spread the teachings among the human race in place of the Sage Taiqing. This matter must not be made wrong in any way.

Before preaching, one must first understand the current situation of the human race so that the preaching can be targeted. Grand Master Xuandu can distinguish between what is important and what is not.

All of this was within Jiang Heng's expectations. Jiang Heng did not try to hide anything; the human race was exactly as it was originally.

After all, a sage has keen eyesight and can see through the human race's secrets in no time. No matter how Jiang Heng tries to cover it up, it's useless.

It's good to let Grand Master Xuandu see it beforehand, so that he won't make a big fool of himself when he preaches, which would be embarrassing.

As Grand Master Xuandu traveled, he became increasingly alarmed by what he saw. The human race of today had undergone tremendous changes compared to the one he knew.

Grand Master Xuandu was accepted as a disciple by the Sage Taiqing when he was preaching among humans. It was from that time that Grand Master Xuandu left the human race.

In the memory of Grand Master Xuandu, the human race back then was in dire need of rebuilding and could only struggle to survive on the primordial land.

Putting aside other things, Grand Master Xuandu clearly remembered that back then, many people of the human race were barely clothed and some even went hungry.

But along the way, Master Xuandu saw not only colorful clothes, but also countless exquisitely designed houses.

Grand Master Xuandu knew all these things. After all, the Youchao and Ziyi clans of the human race achieved the status of Great Luo Golden Immortals precisely because of these two things.

Grand Master Xuandu was not surprised that humans had clothes and houses. What surprised him was that even ordinary humans without cultivation could wear exquisite clothes.

Looking at the ordinary humans, they were not only full of energy, but also had bright smiles on their faces, so naturally they didn't have any problem with not having enough to eat.

As the saying goes, "One leaf falling heralds autumn," and from these ordinary humans, Grand Master Xuandu could easily see that the lives of humans had greatly improved.

If that were all, Grand Master Xuandu would simply sigh and praise the human leader for doing such a good job.

But along the way, Grand Master Xuandu was extremely surprised to find that people with cultivation levels could be seen everywhere among the human race.

Moreover, most of the human race are quite powerful, with many having reached the Immortal Realm or higher. Is this still the human race he remembers?

Before the Taiqing Sage spread his teachings, there were hardly any experts among the human race, let alone immortals. Most of the human race were even people who had acquired no cultivation.

Because the Sage Taiqing preached among humans, the human race at least had some capable experts, but their numbers were still not large.

Soon, among the human race, Grand Master Xuandu even sensed the aura of a Golden Immortal, which surprised him even more.

Even in the entire primordial world, a Golden Immortal is definitely a cultivation level that can be presented as something to be proud of, and is even enough to dominate a region.

Grand Master Xuandu clearly remembered that after the Taiqing Sage preached, there wasn't a single Golden Immortal among the human race.

Originally, it was thought that among the human race today, only the four Great Luo Golden Immortals, such as Suirenshi, were worth mentioning. Who would have thought that there were so many Golden Immortals?

It's only been a few hundred years! How did the human race acquire such strength? The speed of development is just too fast!

Suddenly, Grand Master Xuandu's expression changed slightly. In a certain place among the humans, he actually sensed countless powerful auras.

Grand Master Xuandu walked toward the place he sensed, only to discover upon closer inspection that it was actually a military camp.

"Is this the human army?" Grand Master Xuandu muttered to himself, his face full of surprise.

"Who dares to trespass into a military camp? Don't they know this is the garrison of my Changlin Army?"

Just as Grand Master Xuandu was pondering, a furious shout rang out not far away, and a figure quickly approached Grand Master Xuandu from afar.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is a military camp, and any outsider who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"

The newcomer, weapon in hand, looked at Grand Master Xuandu and spoke with utmost caution. As he spoke, a dense killing intent enveloped Grand Master Xuandu.

Grand Master Xuandu looked at the newcomer. He was clearly a human warrior, and what surprised him was that this human warrior's cultivation was not weak.

With a cultivation level roughly equivalent to a Taiyi Xuanxian, yet he's just an ordinary human soldier? How strong must this army be?

"I'm talking to you. If you don't answer truthfully, don't blame me for being impolite!" The human warrior said again in a deep voice when he saw that Grand Master Xuandu did not answer.

"I am Grand Master Xuandu, a disciple of the Sage Taiqing. I have stumbled upon this place by mistake, please do not take offense!" Grand Master Xuandu said slowly.

Grand Master Xuandu was quite polite; given his status, he wouldn't stoop to arguing with a human warrior.

"Disciple of the Supreme Saint? I don't care who you are, leave this place immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Upon hearing the identity of Grand Master Xuandu, the human warrior showed no reaction whatsoever, repeating the same statement without any emotion in his tone.

Grand Master Xuandu looked at the human warrior in front of him with great surprise. He did not believe that this person did not understand the meaning of being a disciple of the Taiqing Sage.

Even so, the human warrior remained indifferent, as if his status as a disciple of the Taiqing Sage meant nothing to him.

"If I insist on entering this military camp, what can you do about it?" Grand Master Xuandu said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from Grand Master Xuandu, pressing down on the human warrior.

Grand Master Xuandu was, after all, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and once his aura was fully unleashed, it was naturally incredibly terrifying.

However, the human warriors at the Taiyi Xuanxian realm instantly broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale in the face of the powerful aura of the Xuandu Grand Mage.

Even so, the human warrior gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Trespassing on military grounds will result in certain death!"

Grand Master Xuandu stared at the human warrior before him in disbelief, for he could actually sense a strong killing intent emanating from this human warrior.

That seemed to be telling Grand Master Xuandu that if he dared to take another step forward, this human warrior would definitely attack immediately.

He was a disciple personally taught by a sage, a dignified Great Luo Golden Immortal. How dare a human warrior at the Taiyi Profound Immortal Realm attack him?

Moreover, under the suppression of his powerful aura, it was already a miracle that the human warrior could stand firm, let alone attack him.

However, when Grand Master Xuandu saw the resolute look in the human warrior's eyes, he was certain that the human warrior would fight to the death.

"Fellow Daoist Xuandu, what brings you here? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a voice came from afar. Grand Master Xuandu turned around and saw that Youchao had arrived.

"So it was Fellow Daoist Youchao. I mistakenly entered this place, which was indeed a misunderstanding, but it's nothing serious!" said Grand Master Xuandu.

"It's alright! This is indeed a military camp, and according to the military order issued by Emperor Heng, anyone who trespasses on the camp will be executed without mercy!"

"Fellow Daoist Xuandu, please don't take offense. This human warrior was merely doing his duty!" said Youchao.

As the commander-in-chief of the Changlin Army, Youchao naturally had to protect the soldiers of the Changlin Army, which is why he said such a thing.

"I see. I was being presumptuous. I hope you won't take offense, fellow Daoist!" said Grand Master Xuandu.

"It's alright! This isn't the place to talk. If Fellow Daoist Xuandu wishes to go somewhere, I can show you the way!" said Youchao.

"Having been away from the human race for hundreds of years, the human race has changed drastically. I am also preparing to travel around and see the world. It would be best if a fellow Daoist could guide me!" said Grand Master Xuandu.

Accompanied by Youchao, Grand Master Xuandu began his tour of the human realm. Along the way, Grand Master Xuandu remained exceptionally curious about the human army.

"Fellow Daoist, to be honest, I also sensed a lot of powerful auras in that military camp just now, which is why I wanted to go and see what was going on."

"If it's convenient for you, fellow Daoist, could you tell me about the situation of the human army?" Grand Master Xuandu couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.

"Our human race's army was founded by Emperor Heng. Currently, there are four armies: Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain. Wind is the Wind and Wave Army, whose duties are..."

Youchao didn't hide anything and told the human army about the situation one by one, which made Grand Master Xuandu increasingly surprised.

To reiterate, the changes in the human race cannot be concealed for long. Once a conflict breaks out between the human and demon races, the true strength of the human race will inevitably be revealed.

In Jiang Heng's plan, Grand Master Xuandu was the key to fighting against the demon race, so Youchao Clan would naturally not deliberately hide it from Grand Master Xuandu.

"Although the Crimson Flame Army only has five thousand men, they are all Golden Immortals!" Grand Master Xuandu exclaimed in amazement.

The more Grand Master Xuandu learned about the human race today, the more astonished he became. The current strength of the human race far surpassed the one he remembered.

Although the army of five thousand Golden Immortals could not compare to the Witch and Demon races, it was definitely a powerful force in the entire prehistoric world.

More importantly, Grand Master Xuandu knew that the human race had acquired such strength in just a few hundred years.

If humanity were given tens of thousands more years to develop, wouldn't it be able to rival the witch and demon races?

It was from this moment on that Grand Master Xuandu vaguely felt that his mission to spread the Dao among the human race this time would not be easy.

He was indeed a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and his master was a sage, but to enable the human race to possess such strength in just a few hundred years was something that Grand Master Xuandu himself could not do.

Leaving aside the surprise in Grand Master Xuandu's heart, all of his movements were actually under Jiang Heng's control.

What Grand Master Xuandu thinks is not important; what is important is what the Taiqing Sage behind Grand Master Xuandu is planning this time.

But regardless, Jiang Heng is determined to use the "sage" title this time.
