After more than twenty thousand tribulations of Grand Unity, Zhisheng's current cultivation was only at the middle stage of Grand Unity, not even reaching the late stage of Grand Unity. However, her hidden lineage already possessed strength comparable to the late stage of Grand Unity.

One Heavenly Dipper Battalion could rival a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and the hidden lineage had three Heavenly Dipper Battalions, eight Earth Fiend Battalions, and then Haofeng. Wouldn't that mean a total of twelve Grand Unity combat powers?

"You didn't lie to me?"

Seeing Zhisheng's incredulous gaze, Jiang Haofeng couldn't help but feel amused. After deducing for so long with the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, it was no small feat.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

After a long pause, Zhisheng finally accepted the shocking news.

She praised sincerely, "Haofeng, you are truly amazing!"

"Haofeng, if that's the case, then this Myriad Fiends Slaughtering God Array is humanity's strongest fighting force."

Jiang Haofeng nodded, "You could say that."

Although the Myriad Fiends Slaughtering God Array, commanded by Zhuxiang with five hundred Golden Immortals, could not harm him, humanity's soldiers were not limited to just five hundred. Moreover, the one with the deepest understanding of the Myriad Fiends Slaughtering God Array was not Zhuxiang, but Jiang Haofeng.

When all of humanity's soldiers were gathered and Jiang Haofeng personally took action to form the Myriad Fiends Slaughtering God Great Array, that would be humanity's peak combat power.

"The hidden lineage has truly developed quickly. Now, I, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, probably can't even defeat the regular soldiers."

Jiang Haofeng chuckled, "The Heavenly Dipper Battalion can be comparable to the late stage of Grand Unity, but they are just ordinary Grand Unity cultivators. You have the Grand Pure Immortal Method personally taught by a Saint, countless divine abilities at your disposal, and are protected by a Merit Spirit Treasure. Your strength is not comparable to an ordinary mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal."

"That Grand Luo Immortal doesn't have divine abilities or spiritual treasures to protect him," Zhisheng said with a self-deprecating smile, shaking her head.

Jiang Haofeng smiled and remained silent.

After a moment of silence between them, Jiang Haofeng spoke, "Now that I'm back, please guard Central Phoenix Mountain for me for a while."

"Where are you going?" Zhisheng turned to look at Jiang Haofeng beside her.

"I need to go to the East Sea Eye."

Jiang Haofeng's gaze fixed on the distance, as if he could see the surging waves of the East Sea through endless space.

"The East Sea Eye, that's one of the major dangerous places in the Primordial Era. Why are you going there?" Zhisheng suddenly looked up.

"To pay respects to an elder."

To borrow a pair of eyes!

Jiang Haofeng added silently in his heart.

Next, the Witch-Demon War was about to erupt in the Primordial Era. During that time, experts like the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Demon Emperor, and Demon Sovereign would all be engaged in battle. This would be a great opportunity for Jiang Haofeng to learn.

Just from the few Great Witches of the Witch Tribe, he had learned enough to establish the Human Martial Dao. Now, with the Ancestral Witches fighting, he was bound to gain even greater benefits.

However, during this period, humanity would also be massacred. Jiang Haofeng couldn't abandon humanity to go and observe.

But such a good opportunity, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it.

Jiang Haofeng also planned to use this opportunity to have the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book simulate the spiritual essence of the Chaos Bell. When the Chaos Bell eventually escaped into Chaos, Jiang Haofeng could also allow its power to reappear in the Primordial Era.

The latter three revolutions of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art still had no whereabouts, and this was the simplest way for Jiang Haofeng to obtain them.

There were also the Twelve Capital Celestial Gods Array, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, and other peerless formations. All of these were the foundation for humanity's future rise, and he absolutely could not miss them.

As a result, Jiang Haofeng found himself in a dilemma. Humanity needed him, so he couldn't go to observe. If he went to observe, humanity would suffer.

After days of deep thought to solve this problem, he finally found a solution.

Why not cultivate a divine eye divine ability?

That way, he could sit on Central Phoenix Mountain and observe all under heaven with a pair of divine eyes, learning myriad divine abilities. This was the correct way to use the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book.

Going to the Primordial Era to find battlefields to observe was not only dangerous but also extremely inefficient.

How many battles could happen in a day in the Primordial Era? How many could he watch?

Wasn't this a waste of a treasure?

It was a complete waste of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book's heaven-defying learning ability.

Jiang Haofeng had tried to use the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book to deduce a pair of divine eyes, but without any foundation, it was very difficult to deduce a pair that could observe the entire Primordial Era.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book excelled at learning and innovation based on what it learned, not simple deduction. Without a foundation, even the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book would find it difficult to deduce.

He had spent twenty-three thousand tribulations deducing one Myriad Fiends Slaughtering God Array, and that was still because Jiang Haofeng had learned it from novels in later generations, giving him a slight foundation. Knowing that it involved the fusion of fiendish energy, he was able to deduce it on that basis.

If he had the chance to glimpse the Twelve Capital Celestial Gods Array, his deduction speed would likely increase tens of thousands of times, and the power of the deduced battle array would probably be even stronger.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book's main focus was learning; deduction was merely auxiliary.

Learning others' divine abilities and replicating their spiritual treasures in the Primordial Era was the correct way to use the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book. Merely using deduction was putting the cart before the horse.

However, the famous divine eyes in the Primordial Era were basically from later generations. The one Jiang Haofeng could think of as the first choice right now was the Candle Dragon's Eyes.

Legend had it that when these eyes opened, it was day, and when they closed, it was night. They could see through the past and future, look up at the heavens, and gaze down at the netherworld. They should be able to meet his requirements.

Since he was protected by Merit, it was worth making the trip. At worst, he would gain nothing.

Zhisheng, who was beside him, said with some surprise, "That's the East Sea Eye, and an elder lives there?"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the Candle Dragon elder of the Dragon Clan is there, maintaining the stability of the Primordial Era by guarding the East Sea Eye!"

According to legends from later generations, the Candle Dragon's residual soul suppressed the East Sea Eye, maintaining the stability of the Primordial Era and completely suppressing the Dragon Clan's destiny. As long as the Candle Dragon was there, the Dragon Clan would not be annihilated by the backlash of the immense karma!

"What if I encounter danger..." Zhisheng said hesitantly.

Jiang Haofeng's will flickered, and the Merit Golden Body within his body instantly condensed. Brilliant Golden Light of Merit illuminated all directions, and a massive Merit Auspicious Cloud appeared above his head.

"With this, I won't encounter danger while traveling the Primordial Era."

"Especially the Dragon Clan, which is burdened with immense karma from heaven and earth, they definitely won't do anything to me."

Seeing the vast merit on Jiang Haofeng, Zhisheng's heart immediately relaxed. Indeed, with the Merit Auspicious Cloud protecting him, Haofeng was probably the safest person in all of humanity.

"Alright, you go. I'll watch over the hidden脉 for you."

"Okay, I'll be back!"

"Mm!" Zhisheng nodded gently.

After bidding farewell to Zhisheng, Jiang Haofeng took a step forward. The ground beneath his feet instantly shrank. With just one step, he appeared millions of miles away, far faster than the Monkey King's somersaulting cloud which covered 108,000 li.

Of course, the vastness of the entire Primordial Era far exceeded Jiang Haofeng's expectations. The Monkey King's divine ability might have been faster than 108,000 li; after all, covering 108,000 li in one somersault was indeed a bit slow in the Primordial Era.

Jiang Haofeng's steps did not stop. He unleashed the fully mastered divine ability, Star Chasing Moon Catching, to its limit. The earth continuously shrank beneath his feet as he rapidly approached the East Sea.

After several dozen days, Jiang Haofeng stood at the edge of the East Sea, gazing at the boundless expanse before him, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

The ocean before him was truly vast and boundless. At a glance, even with his Grand Luo Golden Immortal strength, he couldn't see its boundaries. All he saw was endless, surging blue sea!

Boom!

Jiang Haofeng unleashed his aura. Instantly, a vast Grand Luo Golden Immortal-level presence swept out, its ancient might shaking the void. It immediately cleared away the clouds within a radius of ten thousand li, causing waves to churn on the sea's surface.

Not long after Jiang Haofeng released his aura, a wave surged on the sea's surface. A Yaksa at the Grand Unity realm, accompanied by two Crab Generals at the Golden Immortal realm, and nearly a hundred Shrimp Soldiers at the True Immortal realm, appeared on the sea.

"I am a patrolling Yaksa from the East Sea Dragon Palace. Greetings, esteemed immortal. May I know why you have come to our East Sea, esteemed immortal?"

The patrolling Yaksa at the forefront bowed respectfully to Jiang Haofeng, speaking neither subserviently nor arrogantly.

"I am Haofeng of humanity. I have matters to discuss with the East Sea Dragon King. I would appreciate it if General Yaksa could relay my message."

Jiang Haofeng was also very courteous. The Dragon Clan's power was not to be underestimated.

Although limited by the karma of heaven and earth from taking direct action, one should never underestimate the Dragon Clan's foundation. They were the protagonists of heaven and earth in the previous Calamity, capable of holding their own against both the Phoenix Clan and the Kirin Clan with their entire race, their strength was truly terrifying.

Moreover, the remaining forces of the Dragon Clan were the most powerful among the three tribes. Not to mention anything else, just among those Jiang Haofeng knew, there were the Candle Dragon, Ying Long, and the Azure Dragon, all Great Divine Powers. In the later stages, there was even Yellow Dragon, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Teaching.

Setting Yellow Dragon aside for now, were any of the first three simple existences?

The Azure Dragon guarded the eastern extremity of the heavens, stabilizing the Primordial Era after the Investiture of the Gods. Its strength was self-evident; how could it be weak if it could suppress the Primordial Era?

Ying Long was also a widely renowned war god in the Primordial Era, ranked alongside figures like Xing Tian and the Nine Heavens Profound Lady.

As for the Candle Dragon, it was an even more powerful being, stationed at the East Sea Eye. Below the Saints of the Primordial Era, it was undoubtedly among the absolute top tier. With these three top-tier powerhouses guarding, even if they were not as strong as the current Witch and Demon tribes, their foundation was not much different.

This was only what Jiang Haofeng knew; there were many more he didn't know.

To truly believe the Dragon Clan was just like the loaches described by the Monkey King would be utterly absurd.

"Esteemed immortal, please come in!"

Upon hearing this, the patrolling Yaksa didn't hesitate. With a raise of its hand, the water on the sea surged, and an underwater passage appeared before Jiang Haofeng.

Jiang Haofeng's gaze flickered. It seemed the current Dragon Clan had begun to lie low, transforming into the Four Dragon Palaces known to people in later generations.

"Thank you for your trouble, General Yaksa."

Jiang Haofeng immediately stepped into the underwater passage.

As Jiang Haofeng entered the underwater passage, the passage above the water disappeared. With every step Jiang Haofeng took, the passage behind him vanished a little more.

Moments later, a magnificent crystal palace appeared before Jiang Haofeng. The crystal palace stood majestically on the sea, with schools of fish swimming around it. Various brightly colored fish swam in groups within the crystal palace, adding to its scenery.

Inside the crystal palace, pearl maidens moved about, and numerous Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, armed with weapons, patrolled around the palace. It was truly a scene of celestial splendor.
