Holding the Wisdom Pearl, Establishing Authority with a Scheme!

Five Elements Mountain.

Within the Five Elements Sacred Hall, five Daoists sat cross-legged, their immortal light vast and permeating through space and time, constantly communing with the Great Dao. Rolling Divine Power continuously surged from the void, being absorbed by them.

"I never expected that Great Sage Qiongqi, that brute, would be killed by a Golden Immortal. This is truly a disgrace to us Primordial Great Sages."

Great Sage Jin Ling sneered, his deep golden eyes seeming to flicker with countless illusory images of swords, spears, and halberds.

An astonishing sharpness emanated from him, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Although Great Sage Qiongqi was a brute, his strength was not weak at all. That Human Race Gu Xi, being able to kill Great Sage Qiongqi, is no simple matter."

Great Sage Mu Ling said.

His Daoist robe was embroidered with countless flowers and trees, and within the vast immortal light emanating from him, a colossal sea of trees seemed to sway faintly.

"Of course, it's not simple. Someone at the Golden Immortal Realm who possesses two Primordial Spiritual Treasures and over ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures, can they be considered simple?"

Great Sage Shui Ling scoffed. His long blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and water-element Divine Power surged around him.

"It seems Great Sage Qiongqi was careless, which is why he was killed by Human Race Gu Xi using the power of spiritual treasures."

Great Sage Huo Ling also spoke. Fire clouds condensed from fire-element Divine Power circled around him, making him appear solemn and sacred.

"To sever the three corpses, Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates and God and Demon Dao Lords throughout the Primordial Era have been digging up the earth, searching for Primordial Spiritual Treasures. I never expected this Gu Xi, merely a Golden Immortal, to possess two Primordial Spiritual Treasures..."

"...In addition to over ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures."

Great Sage Tu Ling's eyes revealed a deep, burning desire.

"Hahaha, this is rightfully our opportunity."

"On the East Sea Coast, there are no God and Demon Dao Lords, nor Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates. Among the many forces, our Five Elements Dharma Lineage is supreme."

"Now, Gu Xi, this human-shaped treasure, has appeared on the East Sea Coast. If this isn't our opportunity, what is?"

Great Sage Jin Ling burst into laughter.

The other four Great Sages also laughed.

Indeed.

Gu Xi, this human-shaped treasure, appearing on the East Sea Coast, wasn't this their Five Elements Dharma Lineage's opportunity?

"This is naturally our opportunity... However, if the God and Demon Dao Lords outside the East Sea Coast learn of this, they will surely be tempted."

"Therefore, to prevent any accidents, we must act sooner rather than later."

Great Sage Mu Ling said.

The other four Great Sages nodded in agreement.

Yellow Earth Tribe.

"Great Sage Qiongqi was actually annihilated? And the Guishan Monster Race has also collapsed?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Li stood up directly from his seat.

His body was a full five meters tall, his robust physique filled with explosive power. Muscles like coiled dragons wrapped around his body, and his bronze skin was as firm as finely tempered steel.

He was by no means a mere brute; his physique was nearly perfect, a combination of strength and beauty, a lean and powerful physique.

His long black hair cascaded down like a wild waterfall, falling naturally in front of and behind his chest.

His eyes emitted two incredibly sharp beams of light, making one feel a sense of awe and trepidation.

He was clad in tattered animal hides and wielded an ancient bronze weapon, a vast, unquenchable battle intent radiating from him.

"Hahaha, Great Sage Qiongqi, you beast, to be annihilated by a Human Race Golden Immortal, this is truly good news."

Wu Li laughed heartily, his voice echoing through the clouds.

In the current Primordial Era, the Yao Race ruled the heavens, and the Witch Race ruled the earth. The Witch and Demon Races dominated the Primordial Era.

With two overlords existing simultaneously, conflict was inevitable.

The conflicts between the Witch and Demon Races had a long history.

There had even been a full-scale war between the two races at one point.

If Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not intervened in time, it was likely that one of the two races would have been utterly defeated.

Therefore, in the vast Primordial Era, wherever the Witch and Demon Races coexisted, conflict and contradictions were unavoidable.

The Guishan Monster Race, founded by Great Sage Qiongqi, and the Yellow Earth Tribe had also engaged in numerous fierce battles, with both sides aiming to completely annihilate the other.

However, neither side had been able to overcome the other.

Now, hearing that Great Sage Qiongqi had been killed and the Guishan Monster Race had scattered, this was naturally excellent news for Wu Li.

However, Gu Xi and the Human Race also drew Wu Li's attention.

"The Human Race, aren't they the race created by Nuwa a hundred years ago? Nuwa even became a Saint by using the Merit of Creating Humans."

"This Human Race Gu Xi seems to be the Holy Father of the Human Race."

"Heh heh, the Human Race created by Nuwa is now an enemy of the Yao Race. This is rather interesting."

Wu Li chuckled playfully.

As a tribal leader among the Witch Race, his access to information was naturally far superior to that of other Gods and Demons on the East Sea Coast.

Most Gods and Demons on the East Sea Coast were still unaware of the Human Race Holy Father Gu Xi's identity.

However, he had already learned of it through messages passed down from the Houtu Tribe.

"Nuwa is the Human Race Holy Mother, and this Gu Xi is the Human Race Holy Father... I just don't know what relationship exists between Gu Xi and Nuwa."

"But, for Nuwa, a dignified Saint, to have already pre-established Gu Xi as the Human Race Holy Father, it's unbelievable to think they have no connection."

"Before I can ascertain Nuwa's true attitude towards Gu Xi, I can't make a move against him!"

"However... the East Sea Coast is incredibly far from the Buzhou Mountain region. Back then, when the humans respectfully called Gu Xi the Human Race Holy Father, aside from those with vast and boundless divine sense, the Great Divine Abilities, and the Gods and Demons from the Buzhou Mountain region, the Gods and Demons from other regions likely didn't know the identity of the Human Race Holy Father Gu Xi."

"A mere century is not enough for information from the Buzhou Mountain region to reach the East Sea Coast, and there are no God and Demon Dao Lords or Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates on the East Sea Coast... therefore, the Gods and Demons on the East Sea Coast are generally unaware of the identity of the Human Race Holy Father Gu Xi."

"Two Primordial Spiritual Treasures, over ten Acquired Spiritual Treasures, that's enough to drive countless Gods and Demons mad."

"It seems there will be an interesting show to watch next."

Wu Li let out a cold laugh, and with a movement of his body, he transformed into a black streak of light, speeding rapidly towards the direction of the Human Race tribe.

The largest river on the East Sea Coast – the Canglan River!

Deep within the Canglan River!

At the bottom of the river lay a magnificent and resplendent Water Mansion.

A figure with a dragon's head and a human body, upon hearing the reports from the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, was instantly startled.

"These humans have actually migrated to the East Sea Coast!"

"The Human Race Holy Father Gu Xi actually annihilated Great Sage Qiongqi, and the Guishan Monster Race has also scattered as a result!"

Ao Fang's face was filled with astonishment.

After the war between the three races, although the Dragon Race, once a dominant power in the Primordial Era, had declined, even a sinking ship still had three pounds of nails. The Dragon Race still possessed Great Divine Abilities.

Therefore, Gu Xi's identity was not a secret within the Dragon Race.

As a member of the Dragon Race, Ao Fang naturally knew of Gu Xi's identity as the Human Race Holy Father.

"The Old Ancestor has said that Nuwa, who can create humans and become a Saint, has likely given birth to a race that aligns with the grand trend of heaven and earth, containing unimaginable potential and Destiny/Fortune. This race should not be offended lightly."

"Now, these humans have migrated to the East Sea Coast, near where our Dragon Race resides. This is a major event, and the information must be relayed back quickly."

Ao Fang's thoughts raced. He immediately formed a hand seal, and a Talisman shot out from his fingertip, merging into the surging river water and quickly disappearing.

On the East Sea Coast, numerous Gods and Demons successively appeared near the Human Race tribe.

There was a subtle undercurrent of surging, a sense of impending storm.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Xi, more and more Gods and Demons are appearing near the Human Race tribe. I heard that the five Great Sages of the Five Elements Dharma Lineage, as well as Wu Li of the Yellow Earth Tribe, seem to have set out for the Human Race. What should we do?"

Within the Human Race tribe, the Teng Snake Demon God and the Fire Rhinoceros Daoist looked at Gu Xi nervously.

Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, and Ziyi Shi, the three leaders of the Human Race, were also looking at Gu Xi.

As more and more Gods and Demons appeared near the Human Race, they all felt the tension of the situation.

Gu Xi, however, remained calm, even displaying a hint of a knowing smile, as if everything was under his control.

"No need to be nervous, I have everything under control."

Gu Xi looked at the anxious crowd and smiled gently:

"Before I engaged Great Sage Qiongqi, I had already anticipated this scene today."

"All of this was orchestrated and facilitated by me."

"As our Human Race has just arrived at the East Sea Coast, we must establish our authority to truly gain a foothold and rise!"

"Slaying Great Sage Qiongqi and scattering the Guishan Monster Race was an act of establishing authority!"

"But... it's not enough!"

"We must strike the Gods and Demons of the East Sea Coast hard, so they understand that our Human Race is inviolable."

"Therefore, I deliberately exposed numerous Spiritual Treasures and orchestrated today's situation."

Hearing Gu Xi's words, the Teng Snake Demon God and the others were stunned.

They never expected that the current situation was deliberately orchestrated by Gu Xi, all for the purpose of establishing the Human Race's authority on the East Sea Coast.

Such scheming and grand ambition left them deeply shocked.

However, facing so many Gods and Demons, what method did Gu Xi have to deal with them?

They understood that since Gu Xi dared to orchestrate such a situation, he must have a way to handle it.

Yet, they truly couldn't fathom what Gu Xi's method was.

After all, the upcoming situation could be far more severe than when Gu Xi faced Great Sage Qiongqi and the Guishan Monster Race. The allure of Primordial Spiritual Treasures was too great; it was possible that the other six Great Sages on the East Sea Coast might even make a move.

Gu Xi did not explain his countermeasures to the Teng Snake Demon God and the others.

"The upcoming great battle is not something you can participate in. You will stay here and guard the Human Race tribe!"

"I am going tens of thousands of miles away to choose a suitable place for closed-door cultivation... and to deal with the upcoming great battle."

After Gu Xi finished speaking, he transformed into a beam of light and left the Human Race.

"Gu Xi has left the Human Race tribe!"

"Chase!"

As soon as Gu Xi left the Human Race tribe, many figures gave chase.
