Martial Immortal System Established, Creation Law Fragment!

Time held no meaning in the Primordial Land.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half Yuanhuis passed.

Throughout those two and a half Yuanhuis, Cangyuan had continuously comprehended the Immortal Dao system, the Golden Core system, and the unparalleled profundities of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Art. With Enlightenment Tea constantly aiding him, Cangyuan had finally created the Martial Dao!

Its cultivation realm system was not vastly different from the Immortal Dao, but it lowered the requirements for aptitude. It chiefly focused on tempering the physical body and cultivating oneself from within.

However, Cangyuan himself was only at Perfected Taiyi Golden Immortal, so the Martial Dao system he had established could likewise only be cultivated up to Perfected Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Still, Cangyuan would continue perfecting it in the future.

After emerging from seclusion, Cangyuan immediately went to the Human World.

He met with the Three Ancestors of Humanity.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Sister."

"Fourth Brother."

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats.

The number of humans in the Human World had now reached the terrifying figure of three hundred trillion clansmen!

That was even with Cangyuan having told the Three Ancestors to practice family planning. Otherwise, the human population would only have grown larger, and this Lesser Thousand World of his would not have been able to contain them all.

Cangyuan estimated that, once the Witch-Demon conflict came to an end and humanity once again stood upon the Primordial Land, their population would likely reach one quadrillion!

That number was already terrifying enough.

They would be packed together in an endless sea.

Suiren Shi sized Cangyuan up and laughed heartily. "It has been a long time since we last met. Fourth Brother, your cultivation has advanced at a tremendous pace. When we last met, you were still at Mid Taiyi Golden Immortal. Now that we meet again, you are already at Perfected Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"Indeed." Ziyi Shi smiled faintly. "Before long, Fourth Brother will be able to comprehend the mysteries of the laws and Attain Great Luo Golden Immortal."

Cangyuan chuckled and modestly replied, "A lucky break, just a lucky break."

Cangyuan had indeed existed for quite a long time.

Yet the time he had actually spent cultivating could be counted on one's fingers.

He was either wandering about outside or busy with other matters.

For instance, deducing and establishing the Martial Dao, or helping Bai Lianxin return from the acquired to the innate, and so on.

Cangyuan did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Sister, I have observed that cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao places excessively harsh requirements on humanity's aptitude. If there were one hundred humans, I fear only one would be qualified to cultivate the Golden Core Great Dao."

"This has also led to our human race having very few cultivators. Even if we return to the Primordial Land in the future, we will not have sufficient strength to protect so many clansmen."

"Alas."

What Cangyuan said was the truth, but the Three Ancestors were helpless about it.

"There is nothing we can do."

"The Immortal Dao system is far too harsh for the members of our race born after the fact—so harsh it is nearly despairing. Though the Golden Core Great Dao also demands high aptitude, at least it lets us see a glimmer of hope for cultivation."

Suiren Shi sighed.

Youchao Shi and Ziyi Shi likewise wore despondent expressions.

Was this not another kind of helplessness?

The helplessness of being caught in the tide of the times and swept along by its rolling torrent.

Cangyuan smiled faintly, his expression calm and relaxed. "Do not fear. This Poor Daoist has studied the Immortal Dao system, the Golden Core Great Dao, and the circumstances of humanity's three souls, seven spirits, physical bodies, acupoints, and meridians, and has opened a new path for humanity."

"It is called: Martial!"

The moment the word "Martial" left his lips, it seemed to carry some sort of magic. It shook their hearts and souls, causing the Three Ancestors' eyes to widen as they stared at Cangyuan in utter disbelief.

After their shock came wild joy.

Cangyuan continued, "You know of the Witch Race's physical bodies, yes? The Martial Dao also bears some traces of the Witch Race—tempering the body, refining Qi and Blood, cultivating oneself from within, and attaining divine communion with the self.

"As long as one is willing to put in the effort and spend the time cultivating day and night, everyone can step onto the path of cultivation!"

Tears welled in Suiren Shi's excited eyes. "R-Really, Fourth Brother?!"

Cangyuan nodded. "You bet, brother."

"In a Hundred Years, I will hold a sermon at the Pillar of Creation and impart the Martial Dao system to humanity!"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Sister, if you are interested, you may come and listen as well."

With that, Cangyuan vanished.

He went to the Pillar of Creation in the Human World.

Inside the cave abode.

Suiren Shi and the other two looked at one another. Their eyes brimmed with tears, and their faces were filled with excitement and gratitude.

If things were truly as Cangyuan had said, if everyone could practice martial arts, then humanity... perhaps they would not become the overlords of the Primordial Land, but they could at least become a powerful race between Heaven and earth. They would no longer be the weak ants whom anyone could bully as they had once been.

Ziyi Shi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked out, "Fourth Brother has... rendered a tremendous kindness to humanity."

"Indeed." Youchao Shi nodded heavily. "If the Martial Dao succeeds, Fourth Brother's assistance to humanity will be no less than that Saint of the Ren Sect."

Suiren Shi rose to his feet, gazing at the busy humans outside as he murmured, "Though Fourth Brother was once called the Fourth Ancestor of Humanity, he never had a proper title. Now... he does!"

At the same time.

A vast, ethereal voice resounded throughout the entire Human World.

"I am Cangyuan, Fourth Ancestor of Humanity. In one hundred years, I shall preach the Dao to humanity at the Pillar of Creation. Its name shall be: Martial!"

This announcement shook the entire Human World!

Countless humans cast reverent, grateful gazes toward the Pillar of Creation.

The four ancestors of humanity had carved out a safe haven for their people, sparing them from the danger of being bullied and slaughtered by the Myriad Races of the Primordial World.

They had always kept this in their hearts, moved to tears by gratitude.

And now, this Fourth Ancestor of Humanity was actually going to preach the Dao to humanity again!?

This stirred countless humans into excitement.

Though humanity was an acquired race, everyone sought the Dao. In the past, they had lacked the means; the Immortal Dao and the Golden Core Great Dao had shut them out. Now that there was another path of cultivation, it would be strange if they were not excited.

Thus.

Many humans began their journey toward the Pillar of Creation at the center of the world.

One hundred years later.

Not many humans had successfully reached the Pillar of Creation.

A mere one million.

Among them, a small number cultivated the Golden Core Great Dao and the Immortal Dao system, while the majority were ordinary humans who had only trained their bodies.

Cangyuan began to preach the Dao to them.

He spread the Martial Dao among humanity!

Another thousand years passed in the blink of an eye...

Cangyuan's exposition of the Martial Dao came to an end.

Ninety percent of those present had gained enlightenment!

Once they returned and diligently cultivated according to Cangyuan's teachings, entering the Dao through martial arts would be just around the corner!

"Alright."

Cangyuan ceased his preaching. Raising his eyes to the one million humans before him, he slowly said, "Today's preaching ends here. In the past, in the Primordial World, it was difficult for humanity to enter the Dao. You were bullied by countless races; those days were dark, cruel, and unbearable to look back upon. Now that there is the Martial Dao, when you return to your respective tribes, you must carry it forward and teach it to more humans, so that your fellow people, too, may possess the strength to protect themselves.

"Humanity... must strive unceasingly for self-improvement!"

His final words made the hearts of the one million humans present pound violently.

Surging without end.

Humanity... must strive unceasingly for self-improvement!

All one million humans dropped to their knees and performed the rites of disciples, shouting respectfully, "This disciple obeys the Martial Ancestor's decree! We shall not fail the Martial Ancestor's expectations!"

Just as the voices of the one million humans fell, the system prompt sounded in Cangyuan's mind: "Ding! Host has completed the Choice Mission. Reward: Creation Law Fragment ×3."

Cangyuan's expression remained unchanged. He ignored the system, instead selecting six exceptionally gifted people from among the one million humans. "From this day onward, you six shall be my, Cangyuan's, disciples. In my absence, you shall lead the development of the Martial Dao in the Human World."
