Honghuang: I, the Human Emperor, Madly Writing Books to Create Emperors Section 31

Shhh!

The other two saints among the Three Pure Ones sensed that their Elder Brother, the Grand Pure, was in peril. With each step crossing a realm, they descended from the Outer Heavens in the blink of an eye.

When they saw the boundless, terrifying karma, they grew anxious.

"Elder Brother!"

"Stand back!" The Grand Pure Sage remained icy as frost, even while entangled by karma.

"His strength is actually regressing!" Jade Pure exclaimed in shock.

They had already attained Dao and become saints, transcending all living beings of the Primordial World.

Nothing and no one should have been able to strip away their cultivation, yet the scene before them was unfolding in reality.

Gradually, the golden light scattered across the sky, and Grand Pure Laozi, somewhat disheveled, once again submerged himself into the Chaos Purple Qi.

Saints could not be gazed upon directly. Only the few supreme beings present who possessed saintly cultivation could clearly see his bedraggled state.

Jiang Chen's expression was utterly blank. Everything that had happened was Grand Pure's own doing.

If he had established the Human Teachings back then, without stealing the Human Tribe's Great Destiny, and had helped humanity rise—

For countless ages thereafter, he would have enjoyed humanity's worship and reverence. He would have been the master of the Human Teachings, and none would have disputed it.

But Grand Pure... had chosen a narrow path.

"Elder Brother! Elder Brother's strength... has actually regressed so severely!" Upper Pure and Jade Pure both frowned, finding this an inconceivable matter.

"He is still in the saintly position! A saint's fruit can influence all living beings in the Primordial World, but all living beings can hardly influence a saint's fruit. Even though humanity has rejected the Golden Elixir Path, shaking Grand Pure's Saintly Position, it remains!"

The two spoke back and forth, quickly grasping Grand Pure Sage's current state.

As fellow saints, unless the secrets and fixed numbers of the Heavenly Dao were involved, little else could be hidden from them.

"A junior of the Human Tribe... What a Human Tribe!"

Grand Pure Sage vanished into the Chaos Purple Qi. Even with his Saintly Position weakened, he remained fierce and domineering!

His gaze pierced heaven and earth like a divine beam descending, locking onto Jiang Chen.

"What a fine karma from the past!"

"Humanity has lost. Even if you reclaim the Human Tribe's Great Destiny, time is not on your side!"

"Under this Heavenly Dao, the ordained master is not the Human Tribe!"

"Without a saint's protection, you are doomed to vanish from the Primordial World!"

"Junior of the Human Tribe, you forcibly elevated your Dao methods into the realm of transcendence. After this, immense karma and karmic retribution will crush the entire Human Tribe!"

The Grand Pure Sage's voice thundered, penetrating every ear.

Only then did the experts of the Witch and Demon Clans realize that this Primordial Dao Law, nearly unseen in the Primordial World, came with such a price.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

That was a saint's cultivation!

The most supreme existence in all the Primordial World!

A being not to be thought of, not to be discussed, not to be fathomed!

If Jiang Chen had not been a saint in this moment, he would have been annihilated ten thousand times over.

The leaders of the various Human Tribe clans raised their heads and declared, "All the living beings of the Human Tribe are willing to bear the supreme karma and karmic retribution for the Human Emperor! Even if it means our bodies and Dao are destroyed!"

"Bodies and Dao destroyed? Today! In the name of a saint! I strip the Human Tribe of the Golden Elixir Path! From now on, the Human Tribe shall have no Golden Elixir Path!" The Grand Pure Sage was merciless and resolute!

He cultivated the emotionless Dao, and today, emotionlessness was finally witnessed.

Grand Pure Sage was reclaiming his dignity, determined to cast the Human Tribe into the abyss once and for all, so that even with vast destiny, they could not rise.

"From now on, even if the Human Tribe of the Primordial World reclaims their immense destiny, they will not be able to rise swiftly..." Houtu sighed with regret, finding it a pity.

If the Human Tribe could rise, the Witch and Demon Clans would have something to fear. Perhaps they would not fight and kill so recklessly without restraint, and the number of fallen Wu Clan and Human Tribe members would be far fewer!

Jiang Chen uttered not a single word of complaint about Grand Pure's act of severing all karma, nor did he feel a trace of regret.

In his eyes, it seemed as though billions of stars shifted and ages passed.

From those two books, Jiang Chen had obtained the supreme Path of Transcendence.

One path was forged by Devouring Ten Thousand Flames—a path of transcendence through the Law of Fire!

One path was the Seed of the Self, a path of transcendence through the human body's treasure trove, leaping across nine transformations of the Immortal Platform!

Either path, Jiang Chen admired greatly.

The living beings of the Human Tribe would each find their own suitable path.

In this moment, Jiang Chen possessed great wisdom and even greater boldness. He achieved great enlightenment!

Neither Devouring Ten Thousand Flames nor the Seed of the Self was the ultimate Path of Transcendence for the Human Tribe!

The Human Tribe's Path of Transcendence was not a single path, nor was it fixed!

Since the Human Tribe had no universally revered path of cultivation, today, he would forge one!

Jiang Chen looked down upon the myriad spirits of the Human Race, his voice resounding like the tolling of the Dao Bell, as he spoke:

"In the Primordial Human Race, the Golden Elixir Path has collapsed, the rules and order have shattered, making transcendence impossible!"

"Since the path of cultivation no longer exists, then I shall create a new path!"

"I, in the name of the Human Emperor of the Human Race!"

"Where I stand shall be the birthplace of Laws and order, opened by me, establishing the Dao with my body!"

"Its name shall be: the Human Dao!"

Chapter 33: Heavenly Dao and Human Dao, Hongjun's Warning! [Kneeling for Flowers and Tips]

"I, in the name of the Human Emperor of the Human Race!"

"Establish the Dao with my body!"

"Its name shall be: the Human Dao!"

Boom!!!

The Great Dao churned, sending down boundless Golden Light and blessings.

In an instant, beside the Heavenly Dao, a river of Dao faintly appeared!

That stretch of the river of Dao surged violently; every drop of water was like a world, every wave like a starry universe.

It was wondrous, it was magnificent!

The Primordial World could not match its majesty and vastness, Chaos could not devour it, and within it, Laws and order were merely primordial fish, unable to break free.

That was the Human Dao established by Jiang Chen for the rise of the Human Race!

Recognized by the Great Dao!

Coexisting with the Heavenly Dao!

The Heavenly Dao was no longer the sole entity beneath the Great Dao; it now had a cohabitant!

The Human Dao had leaped out of the river of the Heavenly Dao.

From then on, the Human Race was no longer bound by the Heavenly Dao! No karmic sins of the Heavenly Dao, no karmic consequences of the Heavenly Dao.

Yet, because of this, they gained a higher pinnacle.

All things of the Human Race returned to the Great Dao!

That was a more stringent Great Dao!

A more transcendent Great Dao!

A Great Dao that even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun could only gaze upon from afar, never to reach!

Jiang Chen, in the name of the Human Emperor of the Human Race, established the Human Dao!

With bold ambition, he sought to find a path of Attaining Dao suitable for the Human Race's transcendence, a path for their rise.

The Human Race had never had a single Path of Transcendence.

Everywhere one looked, every blade of grass, every tree, every flame, every body—all were paths leading to the supreme!

That was the Human Race's Path of Transcendence, never fixed!

Never singular.

Throughout the ages, in the Primordial World, every race had its own path.

Only those born from innate Chaos, with innate roots, could achieve one path per person.

One transcendence per person.

In ancient times, Great God Pangu did so, Attaining Dao through strength!

In ancient times, Saint Nuwa did so, Attaining Dao through creating humanity!

In ancient times, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages did so, Attaining Dao through great merit and great vows!
