"And what's more, the Human Race has enshrined him as their Human Emperor!"
"Human Emperor?" Both Grand Pure Sage and Demon Emperor Di Jun were taken aback upon hearing this.
In the Primordial World, the Human Emperor was the sovereign of the Human Race, wielding the Human Race's supreme treasure, the Kongtong Seal, capable of gathering the Human Race's fortune!
He was shielded by the merit of the Heavenly Dao.
If someone with a major karmic tie to him made a move, they would easily suffer karmic backlash.
But Demon Emperor Di Jun was not one to be so particular.
He was merely surprised for a moment; now that he knew the outcome, he turned to Grand Pure Sage and said, "Grand Pure Saint, the truth is now laid bare. I ask that you honor what was previously discussed..."
"Very well..." Xuandu, seeing Di Jun's urgency, thought it over and decided to speak up.
"This Human Emperor possesses something extremely unique. The Heavenly Dao has bestowed no small amount of merit upon him... Demon Emperor, please show some leniency..." Xuandu deliberated, then pleaded on his behalf.
He himself was of the Innate Human Race, and naturally did not wish to see the Human Race lose a leader so soon.
"What do I care how unique he is! An ant, easily crushed! This Seat hereby issues the Demon Race Slaughter Order! I will not rest until this beast is dead!" Di Jun raised his arm arrogantly, his tone defiant.
With that, he vanished from the Eight Sceneries Palace in a single thought.
"Sigh..." Grand Pure Sage had remained silent all along.
After Di Jun left, Laozi turned back to look at Xuandu.
He spoke unhurriedly: "Speak, then. What else couldn't you say in the Demon Emperor's presence?"
Xuandu was startled, then found it only fitting.
As Grand Pure's First Disciple, what could he possibly hide from Laozi?
"Master, during my descent to the mortal world, I saw that among the Human Tribe's clans, there exist divine objects no weaker than Spiritual Treasures!"
"Oh? The Human Race, so weak until now, has encountered such fortune?" Laozi was surprised.
"What exactly are they?"
Xuandu answered one by one: "Several strange flames no weaker than Samadhi True Fire!"
"Several great cauldrons no weaker than Houtian Spiritual Treasures!"
"And some among the Human Race possess physiques and talents no weaker than the Witch and Demon Clans!"
Hmm???
Laozi was somewhat baffled after hearing this.
Possessing so many great fortunes? Was this still the Human Race he had used as the foundation for his teachings?
"What is going on?"
"Reporting to Master, within the Human Tribe, even children can wield a strength of a hundred thousand jun!"
"Eh~~ I established the Golden Elixir Path for the Human Race—when did it ever have such an effect?" Laozi was bewildered.
The Golden Elixir Path he had set up was this formidable, and he himself didn't know?
"No! Those children have not yet embarked on the path of cultivation!"
"Hm? Say that again?"
Laozi felt his disciple was messing with him.
How could the Human Race possibly—
Children who hadn't cultivated could possess a strength of a hundred thousand jun?
That was the physique of newborn Witch and Demon Clans!
"It's true. I saw them using ancient great cauldrons as vessels, the blood essence of Demon Race Fierce Beasts as medicinal broth, and strange flames as fuel, tossing the Human brats inside to temper them! They called it the Seed of the Self... walking their own path..."
"Tempered with the blood essence of Demon Race Fierce Beasts?"
Good heavens! Thank goodness Di Jun wasn't here—if he heard that the Human Race was using the Demon Race as blood refinement, he might slap a million Humans to death.
And even then, he'd only stop because the Human Race had ties to Saint Nuwa.
As for Xuandu's mention that the Human Race wanted to walk their own path, that was no concern of Laozi's.
A mere Human Emperor, not even a Great Luo, dared to contend for fortune against the Golden Elixir Path passed down by a Saint?
Besides, the Human Race had not yet reached the era of being the protagonists of the world. They couldn't stir up much trouble.
Let them make a fuss!
The more they stirred, the clearer it would become that revering the Human Teachings and honoring the Saints was the only true destination for the Human Race.
"Xuandu, I must continue my seclusion to refine Pills. Do not meddle in the affairs between the Demon Race and the Human Race!"
In the end, Laozi, calm and composed, gave Xuandu this instruction.
"Yes! I shall obey your command!" Xuandu bowed respectfully, then watched as Grand Pure Sage entered his seclusion.
He himself was left pondering the strange tales he had heard from the Human Tribe.
The Heavenly Dao Library?
Exotic Fire Fighting World?
Books?
The path of Transcendence and Attainment of Dao for the human race?
What exactly is going on here?
Demon Emperor Di Jun clearly intends to kill the Human Emperor at Shouyang Mountain. I wonder if that Human Emperor will regret all of this?
Chapter 20: Generous Rewards! Sage-Level Cultivation [Kneeling for Flowers and Tips]

"Ding-dong! Fifty thousand people from the Xuanyuan Tribe have read [Invincible Brat], earning fifty thousand Reading Points!"
"Ding-dong! Ten thousand people from the Zi Yi Shi Tribe have read [Exotic Fire Fighting World], earning ten thousand Reading Points!"
"..." "Ding-dong! A human from the Xuanyuan Tribe has comprehended the Chaos Supreme Body! Congratulations to the host for receiving feedback reward: Chaos Supreme Body!"
"Ding-dong! A human from the Xuanyuan Tribe has comprehended the Great Law of Self-Transformation and Freedom! Congratulations to the host for receiving feedback reward: Great Law of Self-Transformation and Freedom!"
"Ding-dong! A Primitive Tribe Human has comprehended the Yin Yang Cauldron! Congratulations to the host for receiving feedback reward: Yin Yang Cauldron!"
"Ding-dong! A Primitive Tribe Human has comprehended the Houtian Killing Supreme Treasure, Grand Unity Sword Embryo! Congratulations to the host for receiving feedback reward: Houtian Supreme Killing Sword! Grand Unity Sword Embryo!"
Jiang Chen, who had just emerged from seclusion after comprehending the growth in his cultivation from before, heard a continuous stream of ding-dong sounds ringing in his ears as he woke up.
Clearly, the second new book he had released had already been read by some humans, and they had even comprehended many extraordinary things!
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, then flooded with joy.
His efforts had borne fruit!
And there was so much that Jiang Chen felt a bit overwhelmed trying to sort it all out.
"System! Open the interface!"
Host: Jiang Chen!
Race: Innate Human Race!
Level: Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!
Withdrawable Items: Chaos Supreme Body, Great Law of Self-Transformation and Freedom, Yin Yang Cauldron, Houtian Supreme Killing Sword...
Reading Points: 101,350,000
Over a hundred million Reading Points!!!
That was incredible!
After all, ten thousand Reading Points could amplify a withdrawable item tenfold, while a hundred million Reading Points could amplify an item a hundredfold.
Just imagine—if an item that was already quite formidable in the Primordial World underwent a hundredfold amplification, what would happen?
It would probably leap straight into becoming a supreme divine object comparable to a Xiantian Supreme Treasure, wouldn't it?
Jiang Chen gazed at the dazzling array of items in the system space that could be withdrawn.
"Which one should I amplify a hundredfold?"
Don't ask why he didn't amplify all items tenfold.
Better to have quality over quantity!
"The Chaos Supreme Body—I've visualized that physique from the book. A Supreme Body is undoubtedly a physique born for cultivation. Even integrated into the Primordial World, it would be one of the most supreme physiques, enough to rival the Witch and Demon Clans. It could be amplified further, but there's no need yet!"
"Weapons? The Yin Yang Cauldron and the Houtian Supreme Treasure Grand Unity Sword Embryo are both divine objects comparable to the Houtian Spiritual Treasures and Supreme Treasures of the Primordial World. If I amplify the Houtian Supreme Treasure a hundredfold, I could at least obtain a Xiantian Killing Spiritual Treasure! If the hundredfold amplification is strong enough, I might even get a Xiantian Supreme Treasure."
