"A primordial being... has fallen..."
The patriarch of the Xuanyang tribe looked at his son with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
Though he was a primordial human, created by Nuwa, possessing the so-called "Primordial Dao Body," this was merely boastful talk within the human race.
Upon reflection, the term "primordial" referred to beings nurtured by heaven and earth. Humans, a created race, even the first batch, were by no means primordial beings or primordial deities.
Even with the so-called "Primordial Dao Body," they were, in essence, post-natal beings.
The entire human race, including the first generation and the Human Ancestor, were all post-natal beings.
Yet, now, a post-natal being had slain a true primordial deity.
And it was his son.
This left him unsettled, so utterly shocked that he didn't know what to say.
"..."
Silence fell upon all in the Xuanyang tribe.
Not long after, a voice rang out.
"Please, Young Chief, impart the Heaven-Shielding Method to us. We are willing to abandon the Golden Core Dao and cultivate this method!"
"I am willing too!"
"Young Chief, count me in!"
"With the Heaven-Shielding Method, our Xuanyang tribe can truly rise!"
"With the Heaven-Shielding Method, one day, we too can slay Great Luo demon gods and primordial deities, just like the Young Chief!"
"With a post-natal human body, slaying primordial deities! Young Chief, I have grasped the philosophy of the Heaven-Shielding Method. It teaches us humans to strive for self-improvement, to rely on ourselves!"
"Heaven-Shielding, Heaven-Shielding, doesn't it mean to overthrow those Great Luo demon gods, the Ten Great Demon Sages, and those primordial deities who obscure our human world and oppress us? I understand it now too!"
"The method is not between heaven and earth, nor does it need to obey the Heavenly Dao. It only requires us to respect ourselves and deeply explore the potential of the human body's secret realms... This is the philosophy of the Heaven-Shielding Method! Centered on humanity, it is indeed far superior to the Golden Core Dao!"
"Abandon the Golden Core Dao, cultivate the Heaven-Shielding Method!"
Inspired by Fang Ming's slaying of a primordial deity, many humans' interest in cultivating the Heaven-Shielding Method surged.
The difficulty of abandoning the Golden Core Dao and starting anew with the Heaven-Shielding Method was no longer an issue in their eyes.
Such a decision was made purely because the power of the Heaven-Shielding Method displayed by the Young Chief was too alluring!
In the Primordial World, humans lived a very difficult existence.
The myriad races of the Demon Court possessed extremely strong bloodlines, with their ancestors being primordial beings. Though their descendants were post-natal, they were born as immortals, without cultivation realms.
But humans? Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into void, refining void into the Dao... these were unique realms within the human race! Humans had to traverse four major cultivation realms, and only after transcending tribulations to become an immortal could they match the cultivation of the myriad races of the Demon Court at their birth.
These four major cultivation realms were met with endless laughter from the myriad races of the Demon Court. Which race was so weak that they weren't born with Earth Immortal cultivation? They even divided realms below Earth Immortal into four major cultivation stages?
Truly weak to the extreme!
Thus, the title of the weakest race in the Primordial World was bestowed upon humans by the myriad races of the Demon Court.
Humans, as the weakest race among all, ranked ten thousandth, the absolute bottom-most, had endured countless tribulations since emerging from their ancestral land in the Primordial World.
They had lost count!
Almost every moment, humans struggled for survival in this extremely harsh environment.
Through immense hardship and countless difficulties, they had earned the right to exist.
All humans deeply understood that only strength was the hard truth for survival in this cruel world.
Previously, all humans cultivated the Golden Core Dao.
With this Golden Core Dao, although most humans could not contend with the slaughter of Golden Immortal demon generals even after a lifetime of cultivation, there was still a ten to twenty percent chance of cultivating to Earth Immortal or Heavenly Immortal, enabling them to slay some low-level demon soldiers.
Once a small number of demon soldiers attacked, they had the ability to resist.
Despite being unreliable and inefficient, humans endured it, as the Golden Core Dao was the only cultivation technique available to them.
They had no choice but to endure.
Now, Fang Ming had truly demonstrated the power of the Heaven-Shielding Method. Forget Golden Immortal demon generals or Taiyi demon commanders; it could even slay primordial deities.
This stark contrast drove everyone in the Xuanyang tribe into a frenzy.
They were even willing to abandon their Golden Core Dao cultivation, accumulated over hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, to cultivate the Heaven-Shielding Method!
They actively implored Fang Ming to bestow the Heaven-Shielding Method upon them!
"Good! I will teach you the Heaven-Shielding Method now!"
Fang Ming smiled.
Of course, he would not refuse.
Imparting the Heaven-Shielding Method to humans was his fundamental goal.
The growth in strength of the Xuanyang tribe's humans would also greatly benefit him personally.
The system awarded origin points for such achievements!
"Do not be too discouraged by abandoning your Golden Core Dao cultivation. The Heaven-Shielding Method emphasizes rapid progress, with extremely fast cultivation speed and efficiency, fundamentally different from slow techniques like the Golden Core Dao, which can take tens of millions of years to cultivate."
Fang Ming, seeing their agreement, revealed another benefit of the Heaven-Shielding Method.
"For an ordinary human to cultivate the Golden Core Dao to Earth Immortal requires tens of thousands of years. However, with the Heaven-Shielding Method, you can step into the Immortal Sea realm, achieving a state comparable to Earth Immortal, in less than a hundred years."
"Your millions of years of Golden Core Dao cultivation could potentially be regained in less than ten thousand years if you switch to the Heaven-Shielding Method."
Fang Ming's words made their eyes burn even brighter with fervor.
"What? The Heaven-Shielding Method is so rapidly achievable? Its cultivation efficiency is so high?"
"Ten thousand years, less than a tenth of a Yuan Hui's time, and we can cultivate the Heaven-Shielding Method to profound realms?"
"This leaves the Golden Core Dao far behind, by who knows how many streets!"
"I never imagined that within our human bodies, there were so many secret realms. No wonder the Young Chief said we don't need to rely on the power of heaven and earth, only ourselves! It turns out our human bodies are a great treasure trove!"
Everyone was ecstatic.
How powerful must this Heaven-Shielding Method be!
Not only was its combat power immense, but its cultivation efficiency was also so high?
The total duration of a great kalpa is fifty thousand Yuan Hui, and each Yuan Hui has 129,600 years.
And they could cultivate to the Saint King realm, comparable to Primordial Taiyi Golden Immortals, in less than a tenth of a Yuan Hui!
What a profound cultivation efficiency!
This technique not only far surpassed the Golden Core Dao but also completely surpassed the top-tier techniques in the Primordial World!
With this technique, humanity... could rise!
The rise of humanity was no longer a dream!
"The Heaven-Shielding Method first cultivates the Sea of Wheels, then the Dao Palace..."
