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

Chapter 45 The Demon Race Has Arrived!

Jiang Heng used the method of nurturing the Hundred Classics in the furnace to cultivate the Hundred Classics within himself and to encompass all the Daos into one, thus truly beginning to nurture his own supreme Dao.

After Jiang Heng emerged from seclusion, he calculated that he had spent a full ten years in seclusion, fortunately, nothing major had happened to the human race.

At this time, Grand Master Xuandu was still preaching. For him, ten years was just the beginning.

This time, perhaps it was because Jiang Heng's arrangements were too thoughtful, or perhaps he was moved by the human race's yearning for the Dao.

Grand Master Xuandu not only planned that each lecture would last for a hundred years, but also decided to pass on his life's work to the human race.

This actually deviates somewhat from Grand Master Xuandu's original intention, but there's nothing that can be done, given how much respect the human race holds for the Sage Taiqing and the Human Religion.

Just as Jiang Heng had predicted, even though all the human geniuses cultivated the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Law, they still gained a great deal from listening to the Dao.

By drawing inferences from similar cases, many human geniuses who had been trapped in the Sendai Secret Realm for a long time and unable to break through have already seen their own barriers loosen.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, many human geniuses will be able to achieve breakthroughs a century after Grand Master Xuandu begins his sermons.

Jiang Heng was naturally delighted, and he himself was listening attentively to the sermon of the Grand Master Xuandu, absorbing the essence of the Daoist teachings of the Sage Taiqing.

"The Dao that the Sage Taiqing comprehended is based on Taiji Yin and Yang. Tranquility and non-action are the essence of cultivation. This has given me a lot of inspiration!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

The Sage of Taiqing was formed from three parts of Pangu's primordial spirit. He was a born master of great supernatural powers, and the Dao he comprehended pointed directly to the fundamental Dao.

However, the fundamental principle of the Taiqing Sage's path to sainthood is the Great Dao of Taiji Yin Yang, which can be seen from the supreme treasure in the Taiqing Sage's possession.

The Taiji diagram in the hands of the Sage of Taiqing was transformed from the Pangu Axe, a supreme treasure created at the beginning of time, and is an innate treasure of boundless power.

The Tai Chi symbol possesses the power to pacify earth, water, fire, and wind; the ability to transform yin and yang and the five elements; the power to discern the mysteries of the heavenly way; and the power to encompass all things in the universe.

As the only direct disciple of the Sage of Taiqing, Grand Master Xuandu received the supreme Taoist profound skill based on Taiji Yin Yang.

While Jiang Heng was in the Sendai Secret Realm, he practiced the Taiyin True Scripture and the Taiyang True Scripture together, and his understanding of Yin and Yang was quite profound.

Through mutual verification, Jiang Heng gained a deeper understanding of the principles of Yin and Yang in Tai Chi, which was an unexpected bonus.

Cultivation knows no bounds of time, and another thirty years passed. Grand Master Xuandu gradually entered a state of enlightenment, and the Dao he expounded gradually became more profound.

All the humans present were immersed in the profound Daoist philosophy, and various insights welled up in their minds, causing their own realm to rise accordingly.

Suddenly, a huge roar came from afar, startling everyone who was immersed in the Daoist rhythm.

Grand Master Xuandu frowned slightly, glancing at Jiang Heng with some displeasure. This was a crucial moment in his sermon, and he couldn't afford to be disturbed.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. There must be something fishy about this. Let me go and see what's going on!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.

The initial results of nurturing the Hundred Scriptures in the furnace are already evident. While the Grand Master Xuandu was lecturing, Jiang Heng's own Dao realm was improving every moment.

This interruption not only displeased Grand Master Xuandu, but also caused Jiang Heng some regret. However, what was bound to happen was bound to happen, and this was something that was expected.

Just as Jiang Heng was about to get up, a tremendous voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "You lowly human, come out and face your death!"

As this sound rang out, countless powerful auras erupted, rapidly approaching the human race.

Looking up, one could see enormous demons, a dense, overwhelming horde that almost covered the entire sky.

Just as Jiang Heng had predicted, the demon race arrived. He had sensed their presence the moment the enormous roar sounded.

The demon race arrived later than Jiang Heng had anticipated. It took a full forty years after Grand Master Xuandu began his sermon for the demon race to arrive, which was rather inefficient.

However, the demon race has not sent any worthless individuals this time. Judging from the numerous powerful auras emanating from them, the demon race has sent quite a few experts this time.

"The demon race? The demon race has actually come to invade the human race?" Grand Master Xuandu said with a look of surprise and disbelief.

Jiang Heng had told him long ago that the demon race might invade the human race, but Grand Master Xuandu had never paid attention to it.

Humanity was created by the sage Nuwa, and the sage Taiqing established the Human Religion among humans. How could the demon race dare to easily invade humanity?

The demon race not only came, but they also came at the crucial moment of his sermon. What are they trying to do?

"I'm afraid the demon race's arrival will not end well, and it seems that your lecture this time will be difficult to continue!" Jiang Heng said solemnly.

"It's alright! Perhaps there's some misunderstanding. I'll go with you to take a look!" Grand Master Xuandu said after a moment's thought.

That being said, judging from the sheer number of demons and their countless powerful auras, the demons' arrival this time was clearly aggressive.

"Pass on my order, the four armies of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain, move out immediately!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice to Suirenshi and the others.

In fact, Jiang Heng and the others had long anticipated the arrival of the demon race, and all preparations had been completed long ago.

The human race began to prepare for war in an orderly manner. Apart from the Mountain Guard Army protecting the human race, the other three armies began to assemble at an extremely fast pace.

When the massive number of demons approached the human race, the Fengbo Army, Changlin Army, and Chiyan Army were already lined up in front, preparing for battle.

Jiang Heng and the others stood in front of the human race, watching the overwhelming demon race approaching, their expressions gradually becoming solemn.

Grand Master Xuandu looked at the demon race and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that Jiuying, one of the Ten Great Demon Gods, would come in person!"

The Ten Demon Gods of the Demon Clan are the top powerhouses among the demons, second only to the Demon Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Demon Master Kunpeng.

These ten demon gods were once known as the Ten Demon Saints of the Demon Race. However, because six saints attained enlightenment, the name of the saint was avoided, so the name was changed to the Ten Demon Gods of the Demon Race.

Jiuying is one of the Ten Great Demon Gods. This demon is an ancient ferocious beast that can spew water and fire. Its cry is like that of an infant. It has nine heads, hence the name Jiuying.

The Nine-Headed Serpent has long been famous in the primordial world, and its ferocity is awe-inspiring. This time, it came to the human race with a menacing aura from the very beginning, and it was no pushover at all.

"Hahaha! The once lowly human race has now grown quite impressive. No wonder they dared to kill my demon race!"

Now I'm giving you two choices: either surrender obediently and await the judgment of my demon race, or I'll slaughter you all!

The Nine-Headed Serpent appeared in the air, its enormous body bearing nine ferocious heads that stared at the human race, uttering words that sent chills down their spines.

Grand Master Xuandu frowned slightly. The demon race was aggressive from the start, as if they would not stop until they destroyed the human race. This was going too far!

Grand Master Xuandu took a deep breath, took a step, and was already opposite Jiuying. His cultivation at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal suddenly erupted.

"I am Grand Master Xuandu, a disciple of the Sage Taiqing. I am here on my master's orders to spread the teachings of the Human Sect among the human race. Why have the demon race come to disturb me?"

Facing the Nine-Headed Serpent, Grand Master Xuandu was full of confidence and showed no fear. His powerful voice rang in the ears of all the demons.

Upon hearing Grand Master Xuandu's words, the menacing Nine-Headed Serpent paused slightly, its nine enormous heads swaying as it stared intently at Grand Master Xuandu.

"A disciple personally instructed by the Sage Taiqing?"

Jiuying hesitated slightly. Since the Six Saints attained enlightenment, the name of the Saints resounded throughout the prehistoric land. They were the undisputed supreme powerhouses.

Although the demon race is currently the overlord of the primordial world, the sages are incredibly powerful and capable of recreating the world. How could the demon race not be wary of them?

However, Jiuying has come here with a heavy responsibility. If it gives up just because of what Grand Master Xuandu said, wouldn't the demon race become a laughing stock?

"Hmph! Humans have slaughtered my demon race innocently. I have come here to demand an explanation from the humans. How can you say I am disturbing them?"

"As a disciple of a sage, I promise not to disturb you as you spread your teachings among the human race, but the human race must give me an explanation!" Jiuying said in a deep voice.

Grand Master Xuandu was already furious when his sermon was interrupted. He had originally planned to persuade the demons to leave on their own.

Now that Jiuying is so aggressive, even the most good-tempered Grand Master Xuandu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"How dare you! Everyone in the primordial world knows that the human race is weak, so why would you provoke the demon race for no reason? I think you are just making excuses."

My master personally instructed me to preach among humans this time. If I fail to fulfill his orders, I fear you will not be able to bear the consequences!

Grand Master Xuandu's tone also turned unfriendly. After all, he was a disciple personally taught by a sage, and his status was much higher than that of Jiuying.

The Nine-Headed Serpent's aggressive behavior is not only disrespectful to him, but also to the Supreme Saint of Taiqing. It is simply outrageous.

"Hahaha! The Sage Taiqing only asked you to spread the Tao among humans, not to protect them. Why do you always defend humans?"

I am acting on the orders of the Demon Emperor. If you are not satisfied, you may send the Sage Taiqing to find the Demon Emperor!

"I suggest you go somewhere cool and stay out of my way, and stop meddling in other people's business!" Jiuying said disdainfully.

If it were a sage in person, Jiuying would naturally not dare to be so presumptuous, but he is just a disciple of a sage, and he cannot frighten Jiuying.

"How dare you! Do you know that the human race was descended from the sage Nuwa, and that my master, the sage Taiqing, founded the Human Religion and became a sage himself?"

"You're so oppressive towards the human race, have you ever considered the attitude of the sage? If the sage gets angry, can your demon race bear the consequences?" Grand Master Xuandu said angrily.

"Hahaha! The Sage Nuwa was also born into the demon race. If she knew that the human race dared to kill my demon race, she would naturally support my demon race."

"The Sage Taiqing is discerning and will naturally not stop my demon race from taking revenge. But you, the Sage's disciple, are you perhaps using the Sage's name to protect the human race?" Jiuying said.

"You? So the demon race has someone as sharp-tongued as you. Today I'll see how much insolence you demons dare to display with me here!"

Grand Master Xuandu flew into a rage, pointed at Jiuying, and his angry voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
