A Formidable Divine Ability

Inside the Dao Palace.

The immortals rose onto their cloud beds, and Auspicious Clouds spread out, displaying wondrous magical light.

Zhou Yuan sat upright on the Dao Platform and began to expound on the Primordial Dao Fruit.

A century later...

The energy within the Dao Palace gradually subsided.

"Thank you Dao Venerable, for explaining the Dharma."

The Great Divine Ability User of the Xuanmen sect bowed in gratitude.

We are all fellow practitioners of the Xuanmen sect).

No need for such formalities, everyone.

Zhou Yuan lightly waved his bamboo staff, exuding a sense of tranquility and freedom.

"This humble Daoist has now attained the Primordial Dao Fruit."

"Before Heaven, Earth Three Powers have returned to their proper places, and before the Heaven and Earth's Protagonist have emerged, one should not remain in the Primordial World and presumptuously interfere with the grand scheme of things."

Zhou Yuan's gaze remained calm.

After he attained enlightenment, his status and size increased infinitely, and he could understand the cause and effect of heaven and earth in the blink of an eye.

Although he was not a saint, the Primordial World Heavenly Dao imposed very little constraint on him.

However, his path still lies within this world. If he offends the Heavenly Dao of this world and hinders the evolution of the world's great power, it will ultimately be undesirable, and his future plans may cause more trouble.

Moreover, the one in the Purple Firmament Palace Merged with the Heavenly Dao and acts on behalf of Heaven. If he were to forcibly disrupt the Great Tribulation by relying on his cultivation, that one would probably not stand idly by.

Only when Heaven, Earth, Three Powers are in their proper places, and the Heaven and Earth's Protagonist is born, will this world, after it has matured, be large enough to accommodate a being like Primordial Grand Unity who can stir up trouble.

Moreover, ultimately, the Heaven and Earth's Protagonist must rely on themselves.

'If we rely solely on the support of the Primordial Grand Unity and the Sages...'

Does the destiny and achievements of this Heaven and Earth's Protagonist belong to Human Race, or to the sages?

The thought flashed through Zhou Yuan's mind in an instant.

Upon hearing this, the Great Divine Ability User in the Dao Palace exchanged bewildered glances.

Their feelings ranged from disappointment, to a sense of relief, to shock and confusion.

But their faces remained calm.

"Dao Brother."

"In the past, we plotted in the In Wuyi Mountains."

"Replace the liches with Human Race and end this great calamity conflict."

The Grand Pure Daoist said softly:

"But now that Empress Nuwa and her Dao Brother have attained the Primordial Chaos realm, they are required to reside permanently outside the heavens and are not allowed to interfere in matters of the Great Tribulation."

"Their power, which they have accumulated over twelve eons in the Primordial World, is something even this old Daoist must take seriously."

"..."

"If this continues, one will decline while the other rises; what can be done?"

After speaking, the Grand Pure Daoist calmly added:

"The old Daoist has sat in seclusion in the mountains for many years, comprehending the Primordial Violet Qi; he is not far from becoming a saint."

Upon hearing this, a ripple flashed in the eyes of all the saints.

The top combat power of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path lies in Zhou Yuan and the Heaven-Appointed Six Saints.

After the six sages attain enlightenment, they must also go to the Outer Heavens to establish worlds and must not interfere with the cause and effect of eons.

Then who in the universe can resist the overwhelming power of the Witch and Demon Clans?

As for not allowing the Six Sages to attain enlightenment first?

Not to mention that the opportunity to attain enlightenment is fleeting, even if it can be delayed for a thousand years, it can be delayed for ten thousand years.

Moreover, all six sages were seekers of the Dao, and their cultivation was all for the sake of the Great Dao.

As for destiny, karma, and the Mystic Gate Immortal Path, these are all resources for his cultivation journey.

To delay the journey for the sake of data is to put the cart before the horse.

That's all.

Even if we attain sainthood.

The flourishing of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path (immortal) paths will thus be cut off.

'If the universe is controlled by liches and demons, it will no longer be the realm of the Xuanmen.'

'With such a dramatic change, even the one in the Purple Firmament Palace will be affected.'

'How could we possibly escape unscathed?'

Although a sage is of the Primordial Grand Unity rank, it does not mean that all sages have attained the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

Whether the Primordial World Worldly Heaven belongs to the Xuanmen or the Wuyao is of paramount importance to them.

The Daoist Jieyin, seemingly half-asleep and half-awake, roamed the three thousand great worlds, deducing countless paths. After a long while, he said in a deep voice:

"That's good, that's good."

"In my opinion, the struggle for the leading role of Human Dao will ultimately fall on the Human Race."

One of the Dao Lord hesitated and said:

"However, the Human Race has only been around for a short time."

"And how could they possibly contend with the lich, who are currently at the height of their power?"

An ancient immortal beside him pondered for a moment and said:

"Ever since Kuafu Chases the Sun and Hou Yi shot it down, and the ten Golden Crow Princes perished, the Witch and Demon Clans have been sworn to a deep-seated hatred."

There is absolutely no room for reconciliation between the two tribes.

"We might be able to fan the flames and keep the conflict between the two races going, thus buying time for the Human Race to develop."

The Ruyi scepter in the hands of the Jade Pure Daoist shimmered Ruyi precious light.

"Dao Brother Taiyuan."

"On that day, my Dao Brother said that we should use the fortune of our Mystic Gate Immortal Path to assist the fortune of the Human Race, thereby promoting the struggle for supremacy among Human Dao."

"But the Witch and Demon Clans monitor the heavens and earth. Their eyes and ears are everywhere in the universe."

"If the immortal path rashly intervenes in the affairs of the Human Race, it may arouse the vigilance of the Witch and Demon Clans."

"Dao Brother, do you have a wonderful method?"

Zhou Yuan chuckled softly:

"This humble Daoist possesses a Greater Divine Ability, named [Do Not Observe Me]."

"It possesses the ability to conceal destiny, hide one's social standing, and obscure cause and effect."

Once it is cast, the object it reflects will be erased from people's minds and directly ignored.

After Zhou Yuan achieved the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, he used this divine power during this time of chaos in the Heavenly Secrets, which naturally allowed him to conceal the perception of gods, immortals, and saints, and hide the destiny of the Human Race.

This caused the Witch and Demon Clans to subconsciously ignore the Human Race.

"But the fortune of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path is so vast that if the Human Race were to merge with it, it would be like an awl in a bag—its tip would immediately become visible."

"By then, even with my supernatural powers, it will be difficult to conceal it."

The Three Pure Daoists, along with Jieyin and Zhunti a glance, clapped their hands, and praised:

"Excellent."

"This delay is enough."

"Please, Dao Brother, display your supernatural powers."

"We can conceal the Heavenly Secrets and lend you a helping hand, fellow Dao Brother."

After saying this, everyone present made hand seals, urging the Innate Spiritual Treasures to emit streams of spiritual energy to obscure cause and effect.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan pushed up his Daoist hat, and the black and white Yin and Yang and yang colors transformed into two swimming fish that scattered throughout the universe.

An invisible, supernatural aura spread from the Primordial World towards the primordial world.

'We are here to discuss the Way.'

What were you just talking about?

'This humble Daoist used Innate Spiritual Treasure to conceal Heavenly Secrets. Alas, what Heavenly Secrets were concealed? Why do I have no recollection of them?'

Within the Dao Palace, many Dao Lords and powerful beings, including Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate, were momentarily confused.

Just then, a beam of clear light illuminated his primordial spirit.

Everyone then came to their senses.

They looked up at Zhou Yuan, who wore a faint smile on the high platform, and their hearts tightened.

'This supernatural power is truly terrifying and awe-inspiring.'

'How admirable and awe-inspiring!'
