Wu's Decision

Youchao's face showed a bitter expression. "But... Wu, we've been searching for him for tens of thousands of years!"

"We Human Clan have searched almost every inch of the area we can reach, but we still haven't found anything."

"Could it be... could it be that there are no Five Grains at all?"

Wu fell silent.

He could understand Youchao's doubts; after all, tens of thousands of years of fruitless searching were enough to erode anyone's confidence.

Wu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The Primordial Wilderness is too vast."

"Our Human Clan is still too weak; the area we can explore is ultimately limited."

Perhaps, the Five Grains grow in regions we have never set foot in.

"Perhaps it's just that the time isn't right yet, which is why we can't find it no matter how hard we search."

"But I can confirm that the Five Grains are real."

He pointed to the crude map drawn on Beast Hide hide on the stone table, which marked the current activity areas of the Human Clan.

On the vast, Primordial Land, they were so small as to be almost negligible.

After listening to Wu's explanation, Youchao seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly spoke.

"Wu, how about... I use the Merit I've gained to raise my cultivation to the Daluo Golden Immortal!"

"Then, I personally went to the depths of the Primordial Wilderness, to even more distant places, to search for the Five Grains!"

"I refuse to believe that with the abilities of Daluo Golden Immortal, I can't find mere Five Grains!"

His eyes gleamed with determination; for his people, he was willing to pay any price.

Wu's face darkened abruptly, and he resolutely shouted, "No!"

Why didn't I let the three of you use the Merit bestowed by Heavenly Dao to improve your cultivation back then?

"It is precisely because using a large amount of Merit to enhance your cultivation will inevitably damage your foundation and potential!"

"What do you think Daluo Golden Immortal is? Daluo Golden Immortal who has risen to the top through Merit is just an empty shell! Their foundation is unstable, Dao Path is cut off!"

His gaze swept over the three men: Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi Shi.

"We, the earliest born Innate Human Race, are already few in number! Each one represents the foundation of the Human Clan's future!"

"If you were to sever your own Dao Path in search of the Five Grains, what a tremendous loss that would be for the entire Human Clan!"

Wu took a deep breath, his tone softening slightly, but still firm.

"Furthermore, even if you are fortunate enough to reach the Daluo Golden Immortal, you may not be able to find the Five Grains."

The vastness of the Primordial Wilderness world far exceeds our imagination.

Youchao was speechless after Wu's words. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he could only sigh heavily.

He understood Wu's good intentions all too well; however, the current state of the Human Clan was truly causing him great anxiety.

"So... so what should we do now? Just... just keep searching aimlessly?"

Wu nodded. "Let's take our time. This can't be rushed."

"We Human Clan will search as far as our race can go; we'll find it eventually."

"Even if we can't find it now, it's not a big deal."

"When the time is right, someone will naturally find them and bring them to the Human Clan."

"Right now, our most important task is to find a way to improve the overall strength of the Human Clan."

"In this perilous Primordial World, without strength, everything is just empty talk."

Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi all wore thoughtful expressions.

They all knew that Wu was telling the truth.

Strength is the foundation upon which Human Clan stands in the Primordial Wilderness.

At this moment, the silent Ziyi Shi broke the silence with a soft voice. "But, Wu..."

"We currently Human Sect, nor do we have a complete cultivation lineage."

"Relying solely on the Witch Clan Body Refinement Method that you learned from Hou Yi Great Witch Yi, combined with the fragmented insights in your mind, and slowly figuring things out is simply too slow."

"The physique of the Human Clan is ultimately different from that of the Wu Clan. The improved Cultivation Method you created has negligible effect on recent Houtian of the Human Clan who have acquired their skills."

Wu was well aware of this.

He had Zhou Ming Ming's cultivation experience and insights in his mind, which was a vast and boundless treasure trove.

The problem is, with his current level of understanding and knowledge, he simply cannot open the door to this treasure trove!

This is like a three-year-old child holding a legendary martial arts manual. What can they do with it besides using it as a table leg support?

What he lacks most right now is a guide who can answer his questions and point him in the right direction.

But looking across the entire Primordial Wilderness, which of those high and Great Powers would condescend to Dao Lecture the newly born and weak Human Clan race?

That's utterly delusional!

As for waiting for That One future Saint, Taiqing Laozi, to the Human Clan to Dao Lecture Establish Sect... that would be too late.

At that point, Human Clan will have lost the means to resist its Fate.

A thought that had been swirling in his mind for a long time finally became clear and firm.

Wu took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the Youchao and Ziyi Shi in turn, and said in a deep voice, "I know. So I'm preparing... to leave the Human Clan for a while."

"Go to the depths of the Primordial Wilderness, seek out a true Great Powers, and become their apprentice!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi all changed color and exclaimed in unison.

"No! This is too dangerous!" Ziyi Shi's voice trembled slightly.

"The Primordial Wilderness is fraught with danger. If you venture out alone and encounter any misfortune..."

Youchao immediately stood up and exclaimed urgently, "No! This is absolutely unacceptable! It's too dangerous!"

Suiren frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wu, think it over! The Primordial Wilderness is fraught with dangers, far beyond our imagination."

"Moreover, with the Great Witch Hou Yi and the others nearby to look after us, although things are difficult, we can at least barely survive."

Why would you take such a big risk?

"If anything were to happen to you, it would be a Destruction blow to our Human Clan!"

Seeing the three people's anxious expressions, Wu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but his will did not waver.

He raised his hand, signaling them to calm down.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I won't go to my death needlessly."

"I know the Primordial Wilderness is dangerous, so I won't act rashly. I will make thorough preparations before I set off."

He looked at the three of them with unwavering determination. "We Human Clan can no longer wait passively like this."

We must take the initiative and fight for our own future!

"But..." Youchao wanted to say something more.

Wu reached out and interrupted them.

"You don't need to try to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up."

Seeing Wu's resolute expression, Suiren, Youchao, Ziyi Shi opened their mouths, but ultimately let out a heavy sigh.

They knew that once Wu made a decision, it would be very difficult to change it.

Silence fell once again inside the stone house, with only the sound of everyone breathing echoing inside.

After a long while, Suiren let out a long sigh.

"Human Clan... are still too weak..."
