A mere Golden Immortal, presuming to discuss the Sacred Heart? Their crime warrants death!

Chapter 0019: A Mere Golden Immortal Dares to Speculate on a Saint's Intent—His Crime Deserves Death!

"Let's go take a look at the Human Race."

"And from what I sense, there happens to be a Sea Calming Pearl at the shore of the East Sea."

Cangyuan thought to himself.

He no longer hesitated.

Mounting the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heart Piercing Lock, he swiftly traversed the heavens!

A streak of golden escape light shot forth.

His speed was naturally not slow.

Covering millions of miles in an instant was no trouble at all.

There was still some distance between the shore of the East Sea and Jin'ao Island.

Even with Cangyuan controlling the Heart Piercing Lock, it still took him a hundred years to reach the East Sea's shore.

"Finally, I see land."

"Since my birth, I've only ever moved about the East Sea. I wonder how vast the Primordial Land truly is, and how majestic the Sky-Supporting Divine Mountain, Buzhou, must have been—what a pity it was eventually toppled by that unfilial Gonggong."

Stepping onto the Primordial Land, Cangyuan felt a different sensation in his heart, one he had never experienced while traveling the East Sea.

"Hm?"

"Why is there the aura of a Golden Immortal?"

At that moment, Cangyuan sensed a Golden Immortal-level aura erupting recklessly in the distance, exceptionally ostentatious, as if afraid others wouldn't know he was a Golden Immortal, deliberately making a show of it.

Curious, Cangyuan rose into the air.

He flew in that direction.

Drawing closer, with Cangyuan's eyesight, he could see a tribe settled on the plain in the distance.

The tribe was extremely primitive, with houses built from wood, stone, and thatch.

The humans in the tribe wore animal hides or clothes made from plant fibers like hemp or kudzu.

They weren't much to look at in terms of beauty, but they sufficed for covering the body.

But at this moment, this human tribe was in a precarious situation.

A Golden Immortal-level demon had arrived above the tribe, wantonly releasing its Golden Immortal aura. In an instant, demonic clouds covered the sky, and blood-tainted energy spread in all directions.

Some of the weaker humans fainted outright under this pressure.

Only one Heavenly Immortal and a few Earthly Immortals among the tribe could barely remain standing.

"We humans were created by the Holy Mother, Empress Nuwa! Do you not fear incurring the Holy Mother's wrath by acting like this today?!"

The Heavenly Immortal human, bearing immense pressure, gritted his teeth and roared.

He tried to use the Holy Mother's name to scare off this demon.

But things didn't go as hoped.

This Golden Immortal-level demon was not only unafraid but revealed a contemptuous, vicious smile. With his demonic eyes, he looked down arrogantly at the humans prostrate beneath him and said, "Bullshit! Empress Nuwa is a Saint of our Demon Race. How could a weak, Postcelestial race like you humans claim kinship with her?"

"Let me tell you the truth: your human race's birth was merely the Holy Mother creating rations for our Demon Race. You are—our—Demon Race's—food! Hahaha!"

The Heavenly Immortal human didn't believe it and said indignantly, "Stop spouting nonsense!"

The Golden Immortal demon sneered, "Then tell me—I've already devoured who knows how many humans, and yet why hasn't Empress Nuwa descended divine punishment on me? Isn't it because you humans don't matter?"

"You... you..."

The Heavenly Immortal human was shaken by these words, his own conviction wavering.

His Dao heart was unstable.

The Golden Immortal demon extended a long, slimy tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, revealing a greedy expression. "I have to say, your human flesh and blood are truly delicious, and devouring them greatly aids cultivation."

"Enough, stop struggling. Let this Great King eat you all!"

Just as this Golden Immortal demon was about to make his move, an even more terrifying pressure scattered his demonic clouds.

The aura of a Mid Taiyi Golden Immortal was fully unleashed.

The clouds parted, the mist cleared.

Cangyuan broke through the air and arrived.

His water-blue Daoist robe rustled in the wind, and the rune mark on his brow flickered with light.

"You, a mere Golden Immortal, dare to speculate on a Saint's intent—your crime... deserves death!"

The Golden Immortal demon was greatly alarmed; his Primordial Spirit and physical body trembled under this pressure.

"Who are you? Don't meddle in affairs that aren't yours! This Great King's ancestor is a Taiyi Demon King of the Heavenly Court. If you dare touch me, my ancestor will not let this go!"

The Golden Immortal demon looked at Cangyuan, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, bluffing with borrowed authority.

He tried to use the names of the Taiyi Demon King and the Heavenly Court to intimidate this unknown Daoist.

His rhetoric was exactly the same as that Heavenly Immortal Realm human's.

"This Poor Daoist is a disciple under Saint Tongtian of the Jie Sect. If the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal behind you wants to avenge you, let him come as he pleases—This Poor Daoist will slay him as well!"

Cangyuan said no more. Raising his hand, the Heart Piercing Lock transformed into a streak of golden light and flew out.

In an instant, it pierced through the Golden Immortal Realm demon's physical body and erased his Primordial Spirit.

Killing a Golden Immortal Realm demon was nothing more than a wave of the hand for Cangyuan.

Even facing a Demon King at the same Primordial Unity Golden Immortal level, Cangyuan could still crush them to death with his Spiritual Treasures!

With the Golden Immortal Realm demon's death, the stagnant, despairing atmosphere that had hung over the human tribe vanished without a trace.

Although Cangyuan's aura was stronger than that Golden Immortal Realm demon's, his presence felt like a spring breeze.

There was no sharp malice.

"Greetings and thanks to the Jie Sect Upper Immortal for saving our Taixu Tribe. Our Taixu Tribe is endlessly grateful."

That Heavenly Immortal Realm human performed a grand kneeling bow toward Cangyuan.

The other humans, having survived the calamity, saw this and also wanted to kneel to Cangyuan, kowtowing to thank him for his great kindness.

Cangyuan waved his hand slightly, and a gentle breeze held back those who wanted to kneel.

"You don't need to take that demon's words to heart. He was merely an ant of a Golden Immortal—how could he fathom a Saint's intentions? That was just random nonsense he made up to break down your psychological defenses."

Cangyuan said.

He added a word of defense for his aunt, Holy Mother Nuwa.

That Heavenly Immortal Realm human asked, looking at Cangyuan with a studious expression: "But Upper Immortal, since our Human Race emerged into the world, the number of our kin who have died is in the billions. Among those who slaughtered us, the Demon Race is the majority. Why doesn't Holy Mother seek justice for us?"

Cangyuan thought for a moment, then said: "Saints maintain the Primordial World and establish order—this is great love. How could they be distracted for the sake of a single race or individual? If the Human Race needed Holy Mother Nuwa to attend to every single matter, wouldn't you become parasites sucking blood from a Saint? Without tempering, how can there be progress?"

"Moreover, when the Human Race was first born, did Holy Mother Nuwa not shelter you for a hundred thousand years? After your population grew and you left the protected lands, you had to bear certain risks."

"The Human Race must be self-reliant."

Cangyuan did not believe that Holy Mother Nuwa had to protect the Human Race in every single aspect.

Wouldn't that be treating a Saint like a nanny?

And if the Human Race truly grew up under Holy Mother Nuwa's protection in every matter, wouldn't they be like flowers raised in a greenhouse? Wouldn't they be leeches sucking blood from a Saint?

One word fit perfectly: overgrown infants.

Without experiencing hardship, how could one become self-reliant?

Of course, Cangyuan certainly did not support extinction-level calamities like the Witch-Slaying Sword tribulation.

Damn, that was nearly wiping out the entire race.

That could no longer be considered a tribulation.

It was an extinction calamity!

In such a situation, a Saint could slightly intervene to protect them.

But whether it was because the Mandate of Heaven could not be defied, or the Saint themselves was unwilling to save them, the Human Race had indeed suffered that calamity.

That Heavenly Immortal Realm human's eyes widened slightly. The phrase "The Human Race must be self-reliant" shook his Dao heart, making it hum, and his heart pounded violently, as if it wanted to leap out of his chest.

Those words... were too true!

"The Upper Immortal's lesson is correct. This junior was foolish."

"This junior's name is Taixu Yunhai, and I am the chieftain of the Taixu Tribe. If Senior does not disdain it, please come to our tribe and sit for a while, so we may thank the Upper Immortal for saving our lives."

Taixu Yunhai performed a grand bow.

It was both thanks for Cangyuan's assistance and gratitude that Cangyuan's few words had stabilized his Dao heart.
