In the Wilderness, Fierce Beasts and demons were everywhere.
The Human Race was merely food for the demons and Fierce Beasts.
When Xuandu set foot on Human Race territory once more, he was overcome by a strange feeling.
Back then, he had been among the first Innate Humans, and Grand Pure Sage had taken him in as his first disciple.
Now he had returned to the Human Race's lands with a cultivation level at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. He was only one step away from becoming a Great Luo.
"I wonder if what the Demon Emperor said was true... A Human could kill a Demon God? That's simply inconceivable!"
No one understood the Human Race's origins better than Xuandu, an Innate Human himself.
It was precisely because he understood them that the thought of other Humans killing a Demon God astonished him.
Xuandu walked across the Human Race's lands... The Wilderness wind howled past.
He had already sensed a Human Primordial Tribe in the distance with his Immortal Sense.
Xuandu swiftly headed toward it.
But just then, the earth began to tremble.
Sand and stones flew as a sandstorm churned in the distance.
Thick clouds of smoke billowed!
It was as if two extraordinarily powerful races were fighting, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
Xuandu found it strange. He couldn't sense any particularly powerful auras within the sandstorm.
But such large-scale upheaval near a Human Primordial Tribe could still threaten the Human Race.
"I'd better go take a look!"
After a moment's hesitation, Xuandu rushed straight toward it.
He flashed forward with his Earth Shrinking Divine Power and arrived in the blink of an eye.
But the sight before him left him dumbfounded!
A dense crowd of burly Humans dressed in animal hides were each hauling the corpse of a Fierce Beast from the Wilderness.
Some Humans even carried demon corpses as huge as mountains on their shoulders!
They chatted and laughed among themselves.
"Hahaha!!! Let's hurry back and use the blood of these Fierce Beasts and demons to initiate the children in our tribe!"
"We have to build a solid foundation! The Hundred Thousand Extreme Realm is only the beginning!"
"With this much Fierce Beast blood and demon blood, at least a thousand Human children should be able to complete the foundational baptism of the Hundred Thousand Extreme Realm!"
"Let's temper their bodies first, help them reach the Hundred Thousand Extreme Realm, and lay a solid foundation before opening their Wheel Sea! We have to help them forge their own paths!"
"The path of Devouring Ten Thousand Flames to transcendence and Attainment of Dao requires a special talent. But even Humans who haven't comprehended the path from the book can follow the path of Seed of the Self!"
"Our Human Race already has more than ten thousand Earth Immortals. As long as we hunt every day and use the spoils to initiate the children in the tribes, one day the Human Race will have physiques like the Witch and Demon Clans and become one of the most powerful races in the Primordial Wilderness."
Though they were looking at demon Fierce Beasts as huge as mountains, as imposing as the Heavenly Gate, the burly men still chatted and laughed without the slightest strain.
The sight left Xuandu staring in astonishment.
Were these people in front of him really Humans?
Since when had so many Earth Immortals appeared among the Human Race?
And they even dared to attack the demons!
"I must have been in Eight Sceneries Palace so long that I've lost touch with the Human Race!" Xuandu rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He looked again, and the scene was still right there before him.
Damn!
It was real!
Who said the Human Race was weak and helpless?
"Could they all be Human experts who cultivated Master's Golden Elixir Path and made their names that way? I should remember this and report it to Master when I return."
Xuandu wondered to himself how he would explain this.
Up ahead...
"Hey, you there! What realm are you in? We can't see through you!" shouted the densely packed crowd of more than ten thousand Earth Immortals. They were hauling demon Fierce Beast corpses so vast they blotted out the sky, and had spotted Xuandu standing in their way.
"???" Xuandu came back to his senses and was about to speak.
But someone cut him off. "Brother, did you attain Dao through exotic flames, or through Seed of the Self? Your cultivation's so powerful that we can't see through it! Could you be the first person to read [Exotic Fire Fighting World] or [Invincible Brat]?"
"That aura's terrifyingly restrained. You must be at least a Mystic Immortal, right? Even more restrained than Suiren Shi and Shennong Shi!"
Xuandu was dumbfounded.
He had indeed restrained his Grand Unity Golden Immortal aura. Before, he'd feared that if he let it out, the weak Humans might explode on the spot.
Now it had become a topic of idle speculation.
And what was this about attaining Dao through exotic flames? What was Seed of the Self?
What were [Exotic Fire Fighting World] and [Invincible Brat]?
What were they talking about?
"What do you mean, attaining Dao through exotic flames? What do you mean, Seed of the Self? What's going on with you people?" Xuandu was completely baffled.
Though he was a Human, Jiang Chen had only placed his books in Human Primordial Tribes. Xuandu had been living at Eight Sceneries Palace and hadn't received either book.
So he knew nothing about them.
"Hm?" Seeing that Xuandu didn't even know about attaining Dao through exotic flames or Seed of the Self, the crowd immediately grew puzzled.
"Are there still Humans who haven't even heard of [Exotic Fire Fighting World] and [Invincible Brat]? Those are the supreme methods of transcendence and Attainment of Dao that the Human Emperor created for our Human Race!"
"Are you even Human? Your aura says you must be!"
What could Xuandu say? He wasn't even an Innate Human, so how could this group of Acquired Humans be any different?
But what puzzled him even more was what they had just said: that the Human Emperor had created a supreme method of transcendence and Attainment of Dao!
That was something new.
"Doesn't the Human Race cultivate the Golden Elixir Path? Where did this other method of transcendence and Attainment of Dao come from?"
Xuandu asked.
"Tch~~~ Now that we have Seed of the Self, who among our Human Race can't cultivate?!"
"Wait! Can someone tell me what's going on??"
Xuandu was struck dumb on the spot.
If Master hadn't told him to investigate the Human Race's situation, he would have wanted to teach these Acquired Humans—whose strength was far below his own—what it meant to respect one's teacher.
"You want to know? Since you're Human, we'll let you visit our tribe."
"Why does that sound like you're doing me a favor?" Xuandu rubbed his chin, hesitating. He felt as though he'd nearly spat up a mouthful of blood.
He was a mighty immortal at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and yet he'd been stumped by a group of Earth Immortals from the Human Race?
"I'll see for myself what's going on among the Human Race! And I'll find out whether they really can kill that Demon God."
Xuandu didn't forget the real reason Grand Pure Sage had sent him down: to investigate the Human Race's changes.
Investigating who had killed the Demon God for Di Jun was secondary. The main task was to look into the changes among the Human Race.
Sage Orthodoxy, the Human Race's Path! [Please, I'm begging for gifts and support!]
The Human Clan Xuanyuan Shi's tribe!
"Chief! We're back!"
The burly man who had led the hunting party was named Chang Ge. It was a delicate-sounding name, but he himself was powerfully built and fierce.
Chang Ge was well over two meters tall, with a massive, muscular frame!
Chang Ge brought Xuandu and the others back to the Xuanyuan Tribe. From afar, he called out to Xuanyuan Shi, who was in the tribe.
"Chang Ge and the others are back! Quickly, bring all the children out! No one misses today's baptism!"
Xuanyuan Shi was powerfully built, with a thick beard covering his face.
His voice was extremely rough!
Half a month ago, Xuanyuan Shi had successfully comprehended the path of Attainment of Dao through Seed of the Self from [Invincible Brat]!
Then, more than two hundred members of the tribe had successively comprehended the book's deeper meanings.
From that moment on, Xuanyuan Shi had decided that the tribal children who had yet to comprehend the book's deeper meanings would first transform their physiques through the path of Seed of the Self!
Only after transforming their physiques would they be better able to comprehend the book's deeper meanings and embark on the path of cultivation!
It was just as the saying went: learning had to start young!
What's more, the Xuanyuan Tribe had joined forces with several other large tribes to accomplish this great undertaking for the rise of the Human Race!
