"Regarding the Dragon Clan's affairs, I have given Ao Guang full responsibility. If you need anything, feel free to find Ao Guang."

"Understood!"

As the words fell, Candle Dragon's form dissipated once more, transforming into a crimson Xuan Guang that merged into the formation.

At the same time, an invisible force enveloped the two, sending Jiang Haofeng and Ao Guang away from the sea eye.

Given the sea eye's peculiar nature, without Candle Dragon's help, it would be impossible for two mere Grand Luo Golden Immortals to escape.

As the two disappeared, only the massive light screen remained in the sea eye, with a crimson dragon shadow circling above it.

"Humanity has produced two Saints. I originally intended to have Ao Guang make contact with them, but they've come to my doorstep. How fortunate!"

"I wonder what secrets humanity holds, to be able to birth two Saints. If I can discover them, my Dragon Clan may have hope of escaping this predicament!"

"Haofeng, interesting. I cannot see his future."

A low voice echoed within the sea eye, unheard by anyone.

Suddenly, black mist rose beneath the crimson light screen, and a massive phantom ascended, unleashing a terrifying pressure. An unseen roar shook the void.

"Candle Dragon, release me! I am also a living being of the Primordial Era!"

"Noisy!"

Candle Dragon's crimson light flared, and terrifying power poured down. The vast crimson light swept downwards, instantly turning the massive phantom into dust, leaving the area below clear.

The sea eye returned to its calm state.

Meanwhile, after leaving the sea eye, Jiang Haofeng immediately requested to take his leave. He declined Ao Guang's invitation and departed from the East Sea Dragon Palace, heading towards humanity's territory.

On his journey, Jiang Haofeng's consciousness entered the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book. Xuan Guang shimmered on the book, and a phantom of Candle Dragon appeared. Other parts were obscured as if by mist, almost indiscernible, save for a pair of eyes that shone with unparalleled brilliance.

One eye was red, the other blue, both containing infinite profundity.

Simultaneously, a piece of information appeared in Jiang Haofeng's consciousness.

Candle Dragon Eyes: Capable of observing the four directions of heaven and earth, the past and future. Wherever the gaze falls, the world lies before you. The left eye can see a person's past, and the right eye can see their future.

Jiang Haofeng's eyes lit up. It was done!

With the Candle Dragon Eyes, from now on, he could observe all worldly affairs and learn all divine abilities without leaving his dwelling on Central Phoenix Mountain!

Let the Witch-Demon War rage on. The fiercer the battle, the more divine abilities I will gain, and the stronger humanity's foundation will become.

Jiang Haofeng joyfully walked towards humanity's tribal lands. His purpose for coming out had been thoroughly achieved.

The entire divine ability of Candle Dragon Eyes was more precious to Jiang Haofeng than any other divine ability!

A moment later, Jiang Haofeng leaped out of the East Sea and landed on its shore. Just as he was about to use a divine ability to chase the moon and stars towards humanity, a vast three-thousand-mile expanse of purple qi surged across the land, accompanied by boundless rosy clouds and various auspicious phenomena.

Following this, a mighty stream of pure light ascended from Kunlun Mountain. The Grand Purity Sage, riding a Kui Niu, headed towards the East Sea, with nearly ten thousand disciples following behind him in a vast formation of auspicious clouds.

Jiang Haofeng was taken aback. Was this the separation of the Three Pure Ones?

The Three Pure Ones originally resided together on Kunlun. Later, due to doctrinal conflicts between Chan Teaching and Jie Teaching, and the disdain of Chan Teaching disciples for Jie Teaching disciples, conflicts became frequent, eventually leading to the separation of the Three Pure Ones.

Grand Purity Moral Heavenly Venerable resided in the Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain, Jade Purity Primeval Lord of Heaven resided in the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, and Grand Purity Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable resided in the Jade Pool Palace on Golden Ao Island.

The Three Pure Ones had achieved Sainthood over twenty-three thousand huiyuan. After so much time had passed, the contradictions between the two teachings were likely no longer containable.

With a flash of pure light across heaven and earth, Jie Teaching's celestial beings' cloud formation appeared at the East Sea shore. With a Sage's intervention, distance held no meaning, nor was there any concept of travel time for Saints.

In mere moments, the ten thousand immortals of Jie Teaching arrived at the East Sea shore from Kunlun Mountain.

Seeing the cloud formation stop before him, Jiang Haofeng immediately bowed respectfully, "Humanity's Haofeng greets Senior Uncle-Master Tongtian!"

"Rise!"

Sect Leader Tongtian nodded slightly, clearly acknowledging the title of Senior Uncle-Master.

"Your Profound Cultivation is profound, and the light of Merit illuminates the void. Truly remarkable."

"Thank you for your praise, Senior Uncle-Master!"

As the two spoke, the gazes of Sect Leader Tongtian's disciples fell upon Jiang Haofeng, the first Grand Luo Immortal of the third generation of Xuanmen mentioned by their Master.

Daoist Duobao and Golden Spirit Holy Mother, standing to the sides of Sect Leader Tongtian, also observed Jiang Haofeng with curiosity.

They were aware of humanity's emergence. When Sage Nuwa achieved her Dao, her renown shook the Primordial Era. All innate living beings of the Primordial Era, except for those born in the last twenty thousand huiyuan, knew of humanity's existence.

Daoist Duobao mused inwardly, looking at the Daoist Haofeng before him. How could this Haofeng cultivate so rapidly? When humanity first appeared, he himself was already at the peak of Golden Immortal. To think that after twenty thousand huiyuan, he had only reached the peak of Grand Unity, while this Haofeng had already broken through to Grand Luo.

Golden Spirit Holy Mother felt the same. Both were innate beings with extraordinary origins. When they were born, humanity did not even exist. Now, they had been surpassed by a human, which left them with complex feelings.

"Jie Teaching's Duobao greets Senior Brother!"

"Jie Teaching's Jin Ling greets Senior Brother!"

With their thoughts settled, the two cupped their fists and bowed to Jiang Haofeng.

In learning, there is no seniority, only those who achieve mastery. Although they were all disciples of Xuanmen, they were not fellow disciples in the strict sense, so their address naturally followed their cultivation levels.

Moreover, if seniority were to be strictly followed, their Master had not yet achieved Sainthood when Nuwa created humans. In terms of joining Xuanmen, Haofeng had joined much earlier than the two of them.

"Greetings, Junior Brother Duobao, Junior Sister Jin Ling!"

Jiang Haofeng cupped his hands in return, looking at these two future great gods of the East and West.

Duobao Tathagata presided over the Western Spirit Mountain, and Doumu Yuanjun presided over the Heavenly Court's Department of Dou, commanding four hundred and eighty million stars and evil spirits. Both would become top-tier great divine powers in the future.

Even if the Jie Teaching was defeated, these two would still be influential figures in later generations.

Of course, that was for later; for now, their cultivation was only at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level, which truly didn't rank them anywhere in the Primordial Era.

The various disciples of Jie Teaching behind them all bowed to Jiang Haofeng, calling him Senior Brother. Jiang Haofeng returned their greetings one by one, getting acquainted with these initial disciples of Jie Teaching.

However, the current Jie Teaching did not yet have the Four Direct Disciples, Four Outer Disciples, and Seven Attendant Immortals of later generations. There were only two direct disciples, Duobao Tathagata and Golden Spirit Holy Mother, and not a single Outer Disciple or Attendant Immortal.

These individuals would come to the island to apprentice later; they had not yet come under the tutelage of the Grand Purity Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable.

After a round of greetings, the Grand Purity Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable waved his hand, and a green token fell into Jiang Haofeng's hand. "Since you call me Senior Uncle-Master, I shall give you a meeting gift. If you have time, you can come to Jie Teaching and listen to my teachings."

Jiang Haofeng was stunned, and then overjoyed. He immediately accepted the token in his hand and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Senior Uncle-Master!"

"Mm!"

The Grand Purity Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable nodded with satisfaction and casually waved his hand. The ten thousand immortals of Jie Teaching once again soared into the sky and disappeared into the depths of the East Sea.

A moment later, a majestic voice echoed through the void.

"I, Tongtian, hereby establish my dojo, the Jade Pool Palace, on Golden Ao Island. All living beings in the Primordial Era who have a heart for the Dao are welcome to seek the Dao on Golden Ao Island!"

Jiang Haofeng watched the scene before him. Tongtian was establishing Jie Teaching on Golden Ao Island, and everything was developing smoothly. Next would be the allegiance of the ten thousand immortals of Jie Teaching, followed by the Witch-Demon War.

Jiang Haofeng immediately turned his head and headed towards humanity. Time was drawing near, and he had to do his utmost to protect humanity from slaughter.

Jiang Haofeng silently returned to Central Phoenix Mountain and had a conversation with Zhisheng. Zhisheng then left Central Phoenix Mountain to patrol the human territories, while Jiang Haofeng entered seclusion.

In less than a hundred years, the Candle Dragon Eyes had been mastered. With them, he could now observe the entire Primordial Era with a single glance.

Upon doing so, Jiang Haofeng discovered quite a few situations. In the Primordial Era, the friction between the Witch and Demon tribes was increasing, but it was still generally under control, with very few clashes between Grand Luo Golden Immortal experts.

The Primordial Era does not count years; time passed slowly.

Contrary to Jiang Haofeng's expectations, a great war did not immediately break out. As the friction between the two tribes intensified, the Ancestral Witches and the Demon Emperor began to restrain their subordinates, and the friction between the two sides gradually decreased.

The Primordial Era remained peaceful for a hundred thousand kalpas. During this time, Jiang Haofeng's strength rose to the late stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal, an improvement of two realms. He was only one step away from reaching the limit of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art he had learned from Xing Tian.

In these hundred thousand kalpas, he had not seen any Quasi-Saints or higher great divine powers engage in combat.

During this period, Suiren, Da Chao, and Zhisheng's cultivation levels continued to rise. In terms of mere realm, they were also at the late stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal, just like Jiang Haofeng. To be precise, Jiang Haofeng had caught up to the three of them.

As for the remaining innate humans, four of them broke through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal: Zhu Xiang and Hao Ying from the hidden lineage, Yun Yang, and Lie Shan from the visible lineage. They all successively broke through to Grand Luo Golden Immortal!

At this point, the number of Grand Luo Golden Immortals among humanity had reached eight. Although they were not as numerous as the Witch and Demon tribes, or clans like the Dragon Clan, they were considered a top-tier powerful race in the Primordial Era.

One day, while Jiang Haofeng was cultivating on Central Phoenix Mountain, a vast voice suddenly resounded through heaven and earth.

"I, Di Jun, shall now marry the Goddess Xi He, thus achieving the Heavenly Marriage and completing the Great Dao of marriage and relationships for the Primordial Era!"

As the voice fell, immense divine power swept across heaven and earth. A colossal pillar of merit descended from the sky, landing in the Heavenly Court. Within the Heavenly Court, rosy clouds filled the sky, and boundless auspicious clouds surged, attracting the attention of all living beings in the Primordial Era.

Central Phoenix Mountain!

Jiang Haofeng's eyes widened instantly, his expression grave. The Heavenly Marriage had been achieved, and the Calamity was about to begin!

Di Jun and Xi He's ten sons would absolutely be the fuse of the Witch-Demon War. Hou Yi Shoots the Suns would officially push the Witch and Demon tribes into opposition, and the great war between the two tribes would then fully commence!

Jiang Haofeng let out a long breath, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. The Witch-Demon War was finally about to start.

In his memory, there seemed to be two Witch-Demon Wars. After the first one ended, it was the time when the two tribes prepared for the final decisive battle, and this period was also the beginning of humanity's tribulation!

In the past hundred thousand kalpas, Jiang Haofeng had speculated about many reasons for the Witch and Demon tribes turning their butcher knives towards humanity, but none of them could be explained.

The final conclusion remained the word "conspiracy."

Therefore, Jiang Haofeng could not effectively prevent it and could only do his best to improve the strength of humanity, so that humanity would be better equipped to face the impending danger.
