Prologue to the Human Dao
The Witch and Demon Clans have now torn off their pretense of civility.
The alliance would then be over.
Within the Grand Void, the holy beings of the two races clashed in battle.
On the Primordial Great Land, countless liches and demons were naturally not idle either.
Whether to vent their hatred, to seize the opportunity to steal cultivation resources, or to use their opponents as food and blood, one Demon Cave after another was destroyed, and one Witch Tribe after another was razed to the ground.
The earth was filled with the stench of blood, the soil shimmered with crimson, and even the stench in the air was extremely strong.
Birds and beasts roared, mountains and rivers fell silent, and Calamity Qi arose from the damaged earth veins.
The Empress Nuwa watched all of this with indifference.
She had no intention of interfering.
'The Witch Clan is warlike and does not engage in production.'
'The Demon Clan is treacherous, and cannot escape its bestial nature.'
'Although these two races temporarily enjoy the privileges bestowed by Mandate of Heaven, they lack the virtue to rule the world, making them unsuitable to be the Lord of the Era, to promote Human Dao civilization, and to shoulder the great responsibilities of Heaven and Earth.'
'Since Your Majesty has received the [Primordial Violet Qi] bestowed upon you by the Dao Ancestor, you are destined to attain the fruition of Heavenly Dao Saint.'
'I will create a race for the Primordial World that can truly receive boundless fortune.'
This race shall be the eternal protagonist of our Primordial World primordial era.
'If Human Race is established, then the Primordial World order can be achieved, and countless eons can be delayed.'
This is a matter of Great Merit.
'If Your Majesty wishes to attain enlightenment...'
'I'm afraid it will fall even higher than the Human Race.'
The words of the Grand Pure Daoist echoed in her mind.
Enduring and uninterrupted.
The [Primordial Violet Qi] within the Primordial Spirit Consciousness Sea was leaping and eager to try, as if a great fortune from the Heavenly Dao was bestowing upon Empress Nuwa.
A series of flashes of inspiration flickered in his mind, sparks of wisdom collided, and boundless Daoist wisdom surged forth.
She had never felt her mind so clear and lucid. At this moment, it was as if the Heavenly Dao had opened their doors to her, and all of everything, the endless rules, and the Three Thousand Great Daos were reflected in her heart.
'The Creator brings something from nothing.'
'Even the smallest things in nature, like a blade of grass or a tree.'
The great create stars and the world.
'I cultivate the Way of Creation, and also create the path to Human Immortal.'
'When the Creator race, bearing the destiny of Human Dao, unfolds the civilization of the Mortal World, it can thus bestow blessings upon the Primordial World.'
'By perfecting Human Dao, the Primordial World order will be further perfected.'
Human Dao should be orderly, not chaotic; all sentient beings should possess virtue, engage in production, create civilization, and develop the world.
'Instead of destroying the earth's veins, slaughtering all living beings, and generating Calamity Qi.'
Empress Nuwa's eyes gleamed with divine light.
She sensed the near-death struggle within the Grand Void and sighed softly.
The Witch and Demon Clans were mortal enemies.
They were destined to perish together in this era.
'And the Human Race is the choice of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.'
'It was Teacher Hongjun's choice.'
'It was the choice of the patriarchs of the Xuanmen sect.'
'This is the only choice for our Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage.'
Within Nuwa's Primordial Spirit Consciousness Sea, the Great Dao collided and the laws surged, with wisps of Dao intent emanating from the Primordial Violet Qi.
Following her inexplicable feeling, she wandered aimlessly across the land.
On this day, the Empress Nuwa arrived at the Eastern Sea Shore.
Wuyi Mountain.
Palace of Hearing the Dao.
Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He gazed at the boundless, dazzling red clouds stretching across the space and time Eastern Sea Shore. A knowing look flashed in his deep, star-like eyes.
"A great era of Human Dao is about to begin."
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa is about to attain the status of Primordial Saint."
Although the Primordial Saint is not a true Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
However, in the Primordial World, its status is extremely noble, and with the help of the power of the Heavenly Dao, it can already be compared with the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
"This is what they call 'boarding first, then buying the ticket'."
"It would be extremely difficult for Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Dao Cultivation sever and merge with the Three Corpses."
"But if one were to attain the status of a sage, wield the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and prematurely possess the power of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal."
"Comprehending the Great Dao and attaining the Primordial Grand Unity Dao is no longer that difficult."
Zhou Yuan remained calm. Although a sage is good, he has formed a karmic bond with this world, and it is extremely difficult for him to take another step forward and transcend it.
In other words, even if all sentient beings are trapped in the sea of suffering and spend their entire lives pursuing the Great Dao, they may not be able to achieve the Great Luo Dao Fruit, let alone the supreme Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
It's better to succeed than not to succeed.
"After Fellow Daoist Nuwa attained enlightenment..."
"I will be there soon."
Zhou Yuan felt divine light emanating from the acupoints within his body. In the darkness, a wisp of energy seemed to be generated from the top of his head, instantly transforming into a vast expanse of blue waves, condensing into a Dao Domain.
Within the Dao Domain, the Illusory Chaos Sea surges with rolling waves, and countless World Birth and Death every moment.
Among those illusory worlds, two worlds shone brightly, seemingly about to Transform Void into Substance.
One is the Primordial Purple Qi, protected by the Five Immortal Dao Lineages, which is the Primordial Great World and the place where the Immortal civilization resides.
One is radiant with golden light, the Six Manifest Dao govern the world, and all other paths follow suit. The collision of different Daoist concepts generates a civilized atmosphere.
The information emanating from both worlds intertwined and collided in the void, sparking various flashes of wisdom and driving the progress of their respective worlds.
This cycle repeats itself endlessly, progressing step by step towards the Supreme True Realm.
Together, they deduced a [Tao Fruit] that was utterly illusory, yet revealed supreme wisdom, profound mysteries, and unparalleled civilization, interwoven with countless principles and truths.
Beneath that [Dao Fruit], the River of Time surged ceaselessly, and the turbulent waves seemed poised to annihilate the illusory [Dao Fruit].
Fortunately, two extremely powerful forces emerging from the future and the Present World transformed into a small boat, standing steadily on the River of Time. The Present World and the future that the boat Jieyin emitted countless Daos and principles, forming layers of canopies to shelter the [Dao Fruit] from wind and rain.
"The future has been revealed, the Present World is set; all that remains is to anchor ourselves to the past, to unite the three bodies into one, from one to two, from two to three..."
With a light tap of his bamboo staff, Zhou Yuan sent a wisp of pale blue light flying straight toward the Eastern Sea Shore.
"Then I will be able to attempt to obtain this supreme [Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal Fruit]!"
Looking at the Empress Nuwa Eastern Sea who had reached the Eastern Sea Shore, Zhou Yuan's eyes were filled with anticipation.
On the Eastern Sea Shore.
The vast expanse of blue water.
The Empress Nuwa sat serenely atop a mountain cliff.
A bright, round light rose from behind his head, illuminating the entire universe.
"The Innate Dao Body, the five elements and five palaces, the division of Yin and Yang..."
"Earth represents the earth's energy, encompassing all things and embodying the five virtues."
"It can serve as a vehicle for conveying the Way."
The Empress Nuwa murmured softly.
She took out a clump of soil that shimmered with Innate Spiritual Energy and exuded boundless earth virtue and Dao essence.
This is the Innate Xirang, which he obtained on Buzhou Mountain in the past.
"We can begin."
Amidst the pervasive Aura of Creation, the Empress Nuwa smelted the Innate Xirang into the [Universe Cauldron], Forty-Nine Years later...
The Empress looked at the clump of dirt in front of her and shook her head slightly.
"Although it is a vessel for conveying the Dao, it is difficult for the Five Elements to circulate, for internal and external communication to foster life."
Just as she was pondering...
Suddenly, the cheerful sound of a clear spring gurgling in my ears came from nearby; the babbling water flowed endlessly.
