Taking Disciples by the Billions, Astonishing Feedback from the Human Race

Suiren Shi's words fell, and the countless members of the Human Race were first stunned, then reacted.

This was their only path to survival!

This was the sliver of hope Xuandu had intercepted for the Human Race!

"Plop!"

Someone, no one knew who, was the first to kneel, bowing deeply towards the Green Clad Figure atop the altar.

Immediately after, wave after wave of the Human Race knelt down in unison.

At first, it was somewhat chaotic.

"We pay respects to Master!"

The voices were uneven, yet filled with immense piety and excitement.

But soon, these voices merged into a torrent, becoming more orderly, louder and louder!

"We pay respects to Master!!"

"We pay respects to Master!!!"

The sound waves surged higher and higher, finally shaking the heavens and earth!

The voices of hundreds of millions converged, breaking through the blockade of the Demon Cloud, echoing between heaven and earth along the coast of the East Sea!

Witnessing this scene, Ci Tie was dumbfounded.

His mind couldn't quite process it for a moment.

What... what was going on?

Wasn't this a confrontation between two armies, swords drawn and bows bent?

How did it turn into...

a grand ceremony of a myriad of people paying homage and taking a master?

The shift in atmosphere was too rapid. Even Ci Tie, a Demon Saint with vast experience, couldn't keep up with the pace at this moment.

He had anticipated that the other party might erupt in violence, might reprimand him sternly, might attempt negotiations...

But he had never imagined that the other party would completely ignore him, a Demon Saint, and the hundreds of millions of Demon Soldiers eyeing them menacingly, and proceed directly with a disciple-acceptance ceremony?

This Golden Immortal of the Origin... wasn't playing by the rules!

The hundreds of millions of Demon Race soldiers behind him were also looking at each other in bewilderment, a commotion stirring within the Demon Cloud.

Many demon race soldiers scratched their heads, looking at the fervent worship below. They didn't know if they should continue pointing their weapons forward.

Xuandu paid no mind to Ci Tie and the bewilderment of countless demon race members.

He stood atop the altar, his green robes fluttering slightly in the roar of voices, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Feeling the vast, surging Human Dao Wish Power and Destiny converging upon him, his heart was as still as an ancient well.

The time had come.

He slowly raised his hand and made a gesture of pressing down.

In an instant, the deafening roar of voices ceased abruptly.

Billions of eyes, burning with fervor, focused on him.

In the world, only the dull sound of rolling demon clouds remained.

Xuandu slowly spoke, his voice clearly reaching every human's ears:

"Since this is the case."

"You are all now my disciples, Xuandu's disciples."

The moment his voice fell!

BOOM!!!

An indescribable, majestic destiny descended from the void.

It instantly linked the destiny of the Jie Sect and the Human Dao Destiny together!

One prospers, one suffers!

From this moment on, if the demon race wished to slaughter the human race wantonly, they would have to consider whether they could bear the consequences of provoking the Jie Sect and slapping a Sage in the face!

At the same time.

Within Xuandu's mind, the previously silent System Prompt Sound rang out, crisp as celestial music!

[Ding! Detected a large number of humans successfully joining the Host's sect, incorporated into the Jie Sect system!]

[Real-time Cultivation Sum Feedback in progress!]

[Real-time Root Sum Feedback in progress!]

Xuandu clearly sensed that his already stabilized Early Stage Golden Immortal of the Origin aura had actually climbed up by a sliver at this moment!

Although the increase wasn't large, for someone at his level, every sliver of progress was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"This is..."

Xuandu's heart first jolted, then an irrepressible ecstasy surged within him!

It was the cultivation feedback from the [Total Sum System]!

The billions of Human Race members below who had just kowtowed to become his disciples, though the vast majority hadn't even reached the Qi Refining to Spirit Manifestation stage, and many were still in their Mortal Body.

But their numbers were immense, how could they be less than billions?

Through the system's Heaven-Defying laws, their power converged and stacked, truly creating a qualitative change.

"It really works!"

Xuandu's eyes shone brightly, his heart surging with emotion.

The Human Race's pedigree was generally shallow, and their cultivation was difficult, this was an undeniable fact.

But their advantage lay in their terrifying numbers!

Among the myriad races of the Great Wilderness, in terms of individual reproductive ability and total population, no one could surpass the Human Race!

Now, they had become his disciples, nominally members of the Jie Sect's system.

This massive base instantly elevated the feedback from his Cultivation Sum to a new level!

And this was only the beginning.

As time passed, if he could truly pass down the Dao methods to the Human Race and guide them onto the path of cultivation.

Even if it was just the most rudimentary Qi Refining method, allowing the Human Race's overall strength to improve by a sliver.

What terrifying level would the Cultivation Sum feedback reach then?

Mid-stage Golden Immortal of the Origin? Late Stage? Even... peak?

However, the surprises didn't end there.

Just as Xuandu was exhilarated by that sliver of cultivation growth.

Another, deeper, more fundamental power, surged into his limbs and bones, washing over his Dao Foundation's roots!

"Buzz!"

Within his Purple Mansion, the illusory image of the Eight-Petal Three Flowers vibrated violently, emitting the profound sounds of the Great Dao.

His Chaos God Demon Pedigree, which had already reached the beginner stage, began to transform under the infusion of this unimaginably vast fundamental power!

The Dao charm, closer to the origin of Chaos, naturally emanated from Xuandu's body.

The resonance with the Chaos Great Dao in the netherworld became clearer and deeper.

Perception of Heaven and Earth Rules, control over his own magic power, understanding of the Shangqing Gongfa and Shangqing Sword Art...

Everything, at this moment, had leaped to a brand new level!

"Intermediate Chaos Demon God Pedigree..."

Xuandu felt the earth-shattering changes within himself, his heart filled with incomparable shock.

He never would have imagined that merely by accepting these hundreds of millions of humans who had yet to cultivate, the sum of their pedigrees, when superimposed, would directly allow him to transcend the beginner stage and reach the intermediate stage in one step!

This once again proved the terrifying potential hidden behind the vast numbers of the Human Race.

"No wonder... no wonder the system's next mission is to stop the Witch-Slaying Sword..."

Xuandu's eyes were sharp.

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi probably never dreamed that...

The Human Race, whom they viewed as ants and food for blood, would be the protagonists of the next great tribulation.

And by preventing the forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword, the Human Race could be greatly preserved, thus gaining more destiny in the next great tribulation.

From a slight increase in aura to a pedigree transformation, it all happened in an instant.

The billions of humans kneeling below only felt the Dao charm on Xuandu become even more profound and ethereal.

On Ci Tie's face, the look of surprise deepened.

Xuandu's aura seemed even more dangerous than before!

"This person... is strange!"

Ci Tie's internal alarm bells rang loudly. The sense of crisis originating from the depths of his bloodline made him want to retreat immediately.

But thinking of the gaze of the two majesties, thinking of the majesty of the Demon Court, he could only brace himself and suppress the unease in his heart.

"Putting on a show!"

"You think by taking in some ants as disciples, you can contend with the heavenly might of my Demon Court? Ridiculous!"

Demonic Qi surged from his body once more. The overbearing and fierce aura stirred the wind and clouds, causing the surrounding demon clouds to churn and surge again.

The billions of demon soldiers, drawn by his momentum, also let out roars. Their demonic Qi connected into a single stream, pressing towards the Altar.

The terrifying demonic might was like a physical entity, making the Human Race, who had just begun to feel hope, once again feel a suffocating pressure.

Many women and children trembled in fear, huddling together.

However.

Xuandu merely glanced at Ci Tie indifferently.

His gaze was calm and unwavering, as if looking at an ant.

Yet, with just that glance, Ci Tie's demonic power faltered.

The Intermediate Chaos Demon God Pedigree brought not only enhanced potential but also an absolute suppression of life-level!

"Noisy."

Xuandu slowly uttered two words.

He raised his hand slightly, inducing the Hunyuan Power within him.

"Buzz!"

A cyan Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme, erupted from his fingertip.

This Sword Qi was not grand; it even appeared somewhat slender.

But the Hunyuan Power contained within it was sharp to the utmost!

The Sword Qi ignored spatial distance and instantly appeared before Ci Tie!

"What?"

Ci Tie's pupils contracted, his face drained of color in terror!

He hadn't seen how this Sword Qi appeared at all!

In haste, he could only roar, pushing his surrounding demonic power to the limit, crossing his arms to block in front of him.

He was confident that even an attack from a Quasi-Saint of the same level wouldn't easily break through his defenses!

Seeing this, Xuandu did not panic.

This Sword Qi of his was not aimed at Ci Tie in the first place.

The target was the vast number of the Demon Race behind him, whose demonic Qi formed a continuous expanse!

Xuandu's mind was clear.

Although he had achieved the Golden Immortal of the Origin and possessed the Intermediate Chaos Demon God Pedigree, with boundless magic power.

His combat methods were scarce, with only the Shangqing Sword Art being usable.

Ci Tie was one of the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Race, with a formidable physical body and cultivation at the early Quasi-Saint stage.

If he were to clash head-on with him, it would surely expose his true capabilities.

His real objective was to force out the mastermind behind the scenes!

Di Jun! Eastern Emperor Taiyi!
