"Hunt wild beasts, and members of the Demon Race. Slaughter every wild beast within the Eastern Sea Coast. Temper yourselves through battle, and search for food. You may also fight your way beyond the Eastern Sea Coast to hunt the Demon Race and wild beasts. The Battlefield Killing Formation was not trained for display—it was trained to kill," Chen Yang said.

The Battlefield Killing Formation was meant for war and slaughter.

For this reason, although the Human Clan's training in the Battlefield Killing Formation looked impressive, it lacked its true essence.

Taking them out to slaughter wild beasts and the Demon Race beyond the Eastern Sea Coast could also be considered cultivation.

Hearing this, Sui Qing nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Uncle. Also, should the Totem System continue to be spread?"

"Continue spreading it. At the very least, the Totem System excels at slaughter!" Chen Yang said seriously.

After settling many matters, Chen Yang returned to his cultivation.

Chen Yang entered his place of cultivation and took out the tome Pingxin had given him. He muttered, "Pingxin actually created the Reincarnation Formation. Though it is merely a prototype, she does not specialize in Formation Dao, yet she still created it bit by bit. Sigh..."

[You comprehended the prototype of the Reincarnation Formation. Enlightenment dawned upon you; you grasped part of the Reincarnation Law and simultaneously created the Firmament Reincarnation Formation.] [Using the Reincarnation Law, you created the divine ability—Grand Reincarnation of the Heavens!] [You...]

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed.

Information on formations fused into Chen Yang's Primordial Spirit. After the fusion, his mind sank into contemplation, perceiving the changes within the formation.

"So that's how it is... The firmament within this Firmament Reincarnation Formation is, in essence, the six directions! The Six Directions Formation creates six minor worlds of reincarnation, then uses the framework of the Reincarnation Formation to link those six minor worlds together. In the end, they form a loop and become a cycle of reincarnation," Chen Yang pondered aloud.

"First, inscribe above and below; then inscribe east, west, south, and north. In the end, form a loop," Chen Yang said.

As he spoke, Chen Yang fell silent and activated the formation within his Primordial Spirit.

His Primordial Spirit began to operate, evolving into interwoven formation patterns.

Chen Yang sensed the changes in his Primordial Spirit and clearly knew that it was about to evolve into a Reincarnation Formation. However, he also knew that this evolved Reincarnation Formation was destined to last only temporarily. After all, inscribing this Reincarnation Formation was merely to raise his cultivation and strengthen his Primordial Spirit. Once his Primordial Spirit reached a certain level and he obtained the Cosmic Star Formation, Chen Yang would sever away the Reincarnation Formation evolved from his Primordial Spirit and instead evolve the Cosmic Star Formation.

As his Primordial Spirit evolved, surging spiritual qi poured into Chen Yang's body. Along with the spiritual qi, his Primordial Spirit gradually formed formation patterns.

The Primordial Spirit intertwined, ultimately inscribing a special formation. It stabilized within Chen Yang's upper dantian, interweaving and devouring vast spiritual qi as it amplified his Primordial Spirit.

As his Primordial Spirit strengthened, it continued evolving another small formation.

It was not that Chen Yang did not wish to inscribe more formations, or complete the task in one stroke and turn his Primordial Spirit into a Reincarnation Formation. Chen Yang clearly knew that his current Primordial Spirit could not bear so many formation patterns. It needed to evolve slowly.

Now, one-third of his Primordial Spirit had become a formation. It formed a Primordial Spirit space, devouring Primordial Spirit power and interweaving energy, tempering and strengthening the Primordial Spirit.

Besides that, another third of his Primordial Spirit also became a formation. Above and below joined together, circling one another.

The final third of his Primordial Spirit circulated along with the two spaces, continuously growing and continuously being tempered.

In the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.

Now, Chen Yang sensed surging spiritual qi rushing into his body.

The Primordial Clear Qi he had brought from the Ancestral Witch Hall was also pouring into his Primordial Spirit in great quantities.

At that moment, the two spaces within his Primordial Spirit devoured the Primordial Clear Qi, strengthening his Primordial Spirit. His Primordial Spirit rotated with the formations, ultimately tempering Chen Yang's Primordial Spirit.

The one-third of his Primordial Spirit that had remained before had now recovered to two-thirds after being tempered. Moreover, its quality had increased severalfold through the tempering.

As its quality rose, Chen Yang's realm also advanced.

With a boom like exploding thunder and the overturning of heaven and earth, Chen Yang's Primordial Spirit broke through. His realm advanced from a Great Luo Earth Immortal to a Great Luo Heavenly Immortal.

After entering this realm, Chen Yang's aura became increasingly steady and increasingly vast.

"Phew... I finally broke through..." Chen Yang said with emotion.

Since inscribing the formation, Chen Yang had immersed himself in cultivation and the creation of methods.

He cultivated and comprehended formations, tempered his Primordial Spirit, and strengthened it. He also relied on his enhanced wisdom to create divine abilities and improve the Human Clan's cultivation system.

Beyond that, he observed the changes in the Human Clan. As the Battlefield Killing Formation spread, the Human Clan's changes grew increasingly great. Although the Human Clan's standard of living remained at a stage of accumulation, its combat power was gradually increasing.

There were several tens of billions of Human Clan members brought back from the Wu Tribe. The number among them that could become Human Clan soldiers was likewise terrifying.

Now, these troops had been dispersed among the Human Clan, and in a short time, they had drawn forth even more armies.

Relying on the Battlefield Killing Formation, these Human Clan armies slaughtered wild beasts within the Eastern Sea Coast. They charged beyond the Eastern Sea Coast and massacred countless members of the Demon Race.

Large quantities of meat were supplied to the Human Clan tribes. With sufficient food, the Human Clan no longer needed to restrain the speed of reproduction. Thus, the Human Clan reproduced faster, causing its numbers to rise without end.

Now, Chen Yang looked at the rapidly growing Human Clan within the Eastern Sea Coast. "I have to admit, the Human Clan's rate of reproduction is terrifying. In just several thousand years, their numbers have increased by several hundred billion."

"Master... the Human Clan has always reproduced quickly. But although this number seems frightening, it is still far behind the Demon Race. After all, the definition of the Demon Race is that anything which absorbs the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and takes form is a demon. Thus, in the Primordial World, a blade of grass, a stone... once it takes form, becomes part of the Demon Race. And how many such demons exist in the Primordial World? Once they take form, they are brought into the Demon Court," Chang'e said.

"That is true... In the Primordial World, starlight falls from the sky, and who knows how many demons take form, cultivate to a certain level, and are brought into the Demon Court. Yet many are also killed. It can be said that countless living beings take form and are born every moment in the Primordial World, while countless lives die as well. It is a cycle. Even the Human Clan is the same. With such great numbers, people die every moment," Chen Yang said with a sigh.

Chen Yang looked toward the depths of the East Sea and pondered silently. "It has been so many years since I left Golden Ao Island. I wonder how things are there now?"

"Master... do you wish to return to Golden Ao Island?" Chang'e could not help asking.

"Yes. Ever since I left Golden Ao Island back then, I have never returned. So many years have passed; naturally, I miss it somewhat. I wonder how my masters are doing," Chen Yang pondered quietly.

"With Master's realm, returning to Golden Ao Island should be very quick, shouldn't it?" Chang'e said.

"It would be quick, but now is not the time to return," Chen Yang said with emotion.

At those words, Chang'e wanted to ask more, but Chen Yang said nothing further.

Just as Chen Yang was feeling bored, Sui Qing arrived. "Uncle... a member of the Human Clan has come, claiming to be your martial uncle. He wishes to see you."

"A Human Clan member, my martial uncle? Among the disciples of the Three Teachings, there are very few who are Human Clan. Could it be Martial Uncle Xuandu..." Chen Yang muttered thoughtfully.

As he pondered, Sui Qing led Xuandu over.

After Xuandu arrived and saw Chen Yang, he said with emotion, "Nephew Chen Yang... since we parted at Kunlun, it has been at least several hundred thousand years since we last met."

Seeing Xuandu, Chen Yang also sighed. "Martial Uncle Xuandu speaks truly. Since the last Kunlun grand competition, several hundred thousand years have already passed."

Thinking back on that grand competition, it felt as though it had happened yesterday. Yet upon careful reflection, several hundred thousand years had already gone by.

A single session of cultivation could last tens of thousands of years. Added together, that was truly terrifying. Xuandu sighed deeply and stepped forward. "Speaking of which, Nephew Chen Yang, your cultivation has advanced so swiftly over these years that it puts us to shame. Moreover, the changes you have brought to the Human Clan are truly admirable."

"Martial Uncle Xuandu... why say such things? It makes us sound like strangers," Chen Yang said directly. Then, looking at Xuandu, he changed the subject. "Martial Uncle Xuandu... may I ask what brings you to the Human Clan this time?"

"Sigh... Master ordered me to undergo some experience in the mortal realm, to observe the development of the Human Clan and the Human Clan Script. I was also entrusted by several elders to come find you," Xuandu said.

"Entrusted by elders to find me?" Chen Yang was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes... Some elders of our Human Clan wish to see you. Unfortunately, they cannot move about freely, so they entrusted me to find you," Xuandu said with a faint sigh.

"Human Clan elders? Martial Uncle Xuandu... do you mean Patriarch Suiren Clan, Patriarch Ziyi Clan, and the others?" Chen Yang asked.

"Correct. The ancestors of our Human Clan wish to see you. Unfortunately, they cannot leave the Land of Destiny, so..." Xuandu said helplessly.

"The Land of Destiny? The Land of Destiny of our Human Clan?" Chen Yang was also puzzled.
