They would never face reality, always clinging to the rotten views in their minds.
The Serpent Clan's imperial prince estimated.
Even if he spoke these words, the demon soldiers beside him would continue to mock, finding various excuses to ridicule.
They had plenty of reasons, plenty of excuses.
But never would any demon truly believe the facts he presented.
They dared not face the truth and wished to mock it.
No wonder that human, Fang Ming, did not fear demons reporting him to the heavens.
He must have anticipated this outcome long ago.
No one would believe that the Heaven-Shielding Method could truly overthrow the Demon Court's rule.
So what if he said it?
It would merely mean one more demon in the Demon Court's celestial prison.
If they couldn't solve the problem of humanity's growth, they would simply eliminate him, the Serpent Clan's imperial prince!
How ridiculous to eliminate the one who raised the problem instead of the problem itself!
The Demon Court had reigned supreme over all spirits for too long, far too long.
So long that the Innate Divine Beings, the Great Luo Demon Gods, the Demon Sages, and below them the Demon Generals and Marshals.
All held these rotten views, were blindly confident, and believed that humans could never defeat demons.
This mindset was fine when humans cultivated the Golden Core Dao.
But now, in this era where humans began cultivating the Heaven-Shielding Method, it posed a grave problem.
The Serpent Clan's imperial prince's eyes envisioned a future scene.
Humans, once reduced to demon's blood food.
But they would eventually rise.
Currently, humans had already slain many of the subsidiary innate races of the Demon Court.
Many Taiyi Demon Marshals of the acquired beings had been killed.
When would it be the turn of the innate beings, those Great Luo Demon Gods?
The time might not be far off.
Perhaps, by then, humans would possess the strength to infiltrate the Demon Court and destroy it.
To utterly annihilate the rotten, backward, and stubborn high-ranking officials of the Demon Court, the Innate Divine Beings, the self-proclaimed divine Great Luo!
He, the Serpent Clan's imperial prince, with his discerning vision, saw this point and issued a warning.
But before he could even meet the Demon Emperor, he was punished by the gatekeeping general and sent to prison.
There might be many demons like him, more than one.
But they would surely be punished.
Certain existences could not tolerate even the slightest doubt, could not tolerate any dissenting voice.
They only wished to believe their own rotten views.
That Fang Ming, the young chieftain of the Xuan Yang tribe, must have calculated all these developments, right?
What a terrifying person!
With him around, and the Heaven-Shielding Method spreading, humanity could truly rise!
The future... perhaps it would be humanity, ruling the Primordial Great Wilderness and dominating the Primordial World.
At that time, what would be the fate of the myriad races of the Demon Court, who once treated humans as blood food?
...
Just as the Xuan Yang tribe swept through the surrounding races and greatly increased their strength by cultivating the Heaven-Shielding Method.
At the same time.
Shouyang Mountain.
Eight Sceneries Palace.
As the Grand Pure Sage was lecturing Xuan Du, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
He sensed that something related to him and rather important had occurred in the heavens and earth.
This kind of subconscious premonition was a basic ability of a Heavenly Dao Sage.
The Grand Pure Sage immediately knew that this was definitely something related to him.
"What matter is related to this Sage?"
With a thought, the Grand Pure Sage began to deduce in his mind.
The ability to deduce was an inherent skill of the powerful beings and great divine abilities in traditional mythology. Most great beings possessed this ability, the difference being only in its depth.
And Heavenly Dao Sages, with their primordial spirits merged with the Heavenly Dao, occupied a crucial position in the structure of all things.
Sages could perceive all things, the great worlds, observing the past, present, and future with their eyes, and understanding all worldly matters with a single thought.
Their deduction abilities were almost at their peak.
The Grand Pure Sage, naturally, deduced, and under the misdirection of the Heavenly Mystery Interference Instrument, understood the cause and effect of the matter.
"So that's how it is..."
"A tribe of humans has actually abolished the Golden Core Dao and opened another method."
"The Heaven-Shielding Method, is it..."
Xuan Du heard the Grand Pure Sage's sigh.
The seemingly calm sigh greatly shocked Xuan Du!
As a disciple of the Grand Pure Sage, Xuan Du had long been informed by the Grand Pure Sage about the truth of the Golden Core Dao.
The Grand Pure Sage was a Heavenly Dao Sage, ruling the universe, immortal through countless tribulations, existing alongside the Dao, and thus had long calculated the heavenly mysteries, understood the workings of destiny, and knew that the future protagonists of heaven and earth were not the Wu and Yao tribes, but humanity.
The seemingly insignificant humans were the true protagonists of heaven and earth.
Upon learning this information, the Grand Pure Sage naturally made his plans.
Humanity had boundless potential. If humanity were allowed to grow, where would that leave the Sages? Where would it leave the disciples of the Sages?
If, one day, humanity surpassed the Wu and Yao tribes and truly became the protagonists of the Primordial Great Wilderness, the overlords of the Primordial World, then what would the Grand Pure Sage be?
Therefore, the Grand Pure Sage intentionally passed down a shallow and flawed cultivation method, the Golden Core Dao, precisely to limit humanity's boundless potential.
Humans must remain weak, otherwise, it would not be in the Sages' interest.
The Golden Core Dao was the Grand Pure Sage's tool, serving the dual purpose of restricting humanity's potential and harvesting their destiny.
In the Grand Pure Sage's subsequent plans, the Golden Core Dao could play numerous roles in controlling humanity.
It was the most crucial link in his scheme.
Xuan Du naturally understood the importance of the Golden Core Dao in the Grand Pure Sage's plans. Therefore, at this moment, upon hearing the Grand Pure Sage say that a human tribe had abolished the Golden Core Dao and switched to cultivating the Heaven-Shielding Method, he was greatly shocked.
Who had such audacity?
Who dared to abolish the Golden Core Dao, by which his master controlled humanity?
With this thought, Xuan Du quickly pledged his loyalty:
"Master! Your disciple dares to ask, who is so arrogant as to dare abolish Master's Golden Core Dao?"
"Master's Golden Core Dao is the key to eternally controlling humans as dogs, it absolutely cannot be lost!"
"Once humanity grows strong, they will have rebellious thoughts, and with rebellious thoughts, they will dare to resist, and with resistance, the entire clan will suffer great calamity."
"This person dares to abolish the Golden Core Dao and strengthen humanity, which will undoubtedly drag humanity into an abyss!"
"This person's actions, though seemingly for humanity, upon closer inspection, are actually a betrayal of humanity and a defiance of the Human Religion, a heinous crime!"
"Your disciple is one of the three thousand Innate Humans, also considered a Human Ancestor. I am willing, as a Human Ancestor, to kill this traitor to humanity!"
Xuan Du was also human.
But he never considered himself human; he believed he was merely a disciple of the Grand Pure Sage.
The First Disciple of a Sage!
How could the First Disciple of a Sage have such a lowly origin as being human?
Xuan Du, although one of the three thousand Innate Humans created by Nuwa, utterly disdained humanity.
When speaking of eternally treating humans as dogs, Xuan Du felt no shame, but rather an attitude of taking it for granted.
In his view, obeying the Grand Pure Sage was obeying humanity, and betraying the Grand Pure Sage by abolishing the Golden Core Dao was a traitor to humanity.
No matter how many contributions this person made to humanity, it could not offset the great crime of defying the Grand Pure Sage, and he was rightfully a traitor to humanity.
