Xuan Du's logic was precisely this.
He was impatient to kill those who abolished the Golden Core Dao.
The Grand Pure Sage, upon hearing this, smiled knowingly.
"Xuan Du, there is no need to rush."
"This Saint has already calculated that the Heaven-Shielding Method poses no threat."
"It is utterly incapable of threatening the status of the Golden Core Dao."
"Let him spread it as he wishes, why must we kill him?"
Xuan Du was surprised and asked, "Master, this Heaven-Shielding Method has no threat?"
The Grand Pure Sage nodded, "I have divined the heavenly secrets, and according to them,"
"The so-called Heaven-Shielding Method does not originate from the Primordial Era, but from other worlds beyond the Primordial Era."
"In the past, chaos gave birth to three thousand demon gods. Besides Great God Pangu who opened up the Primordial Era, other demon gods also opened up worlds in the chaos. These worlds are called the myriad heavens and myriad realms."
"However, these so-called myriad heavens and myriad realms have rules that are too fragile and laws that are too incomplete, making them insignificant compared to the Primordial Era."
The Grand Pure Sage began to disparage them, saying, "Even in the myriad heavens and myriad realms, a powerful being who can destroy countless multiverses and countless omniverses with a single thought, upon arriving in the Primordial Era, cannot even lift a tiny stone."
"This is because the stability and completeness of the Primordial Era's world rules and laws far surpass those of the myriad heavens and myriad realms."
"The myriad heavens and myriad realms are too fragile in their stability."
"Therefore, the mass of a single grain of sand in the Primordial Era, if placed in the myriad heavens and myriad realms, could evolve into an endless number of multiverses, equivalent to a super-infinite dimensional existence."
"And a powerful being from the myriad heavens and myriad realms, upon ascending to the Primordial Era, even an infinitely dimensional being, could not lift a tiny grain of sand."
The Grand Pure Sage began to fabricate.
In his fabricated narrative, the Primordial Era was the "Upper Realm," the "Only True Realm," and the "Supreme World" among all worlds in the myriad heavens and myriad realms.
The strongest beings in all worlds, even those who roamed the myriad heavens and myriad realms, yearned to ascend to the Primordial Era and become the lowest-ranking Earth Immortals.
Any Earth Immortal from the Primordial Era could destroy countless multiverses with a single thought in a fragile world like the myriad heavens and myriad realms.
"The so-called Heaven-Shielding Method is nothing. Not only is it short-lived and unable to achieve longevity, but its combat power is also far inferior to that of an Earth Immortal in the Primordial Era."
"Not only the Heaven-Shielding Method, but also the Perfect Method and the Sacred Ruins Method above it are nothing. Those who are supposedly above the sacrificial path are at most Great Luo Golden Immortals, oh no, only pseudo-Great Luo."
The Grand Pure Sage had initially intended to assign the Immortal Emperor a Great Luo level of strength, but then he realized that the Immortal Emperor was not supreme in the Sacred Ruins realm. Assigning him Great Luo Golden Immortal strength would diminish the prestige of the Primordial Era.
He decided to simply assign those above the sacrificial path the strength of Great Luo Golden Immortals. The Immortal Emperor would be demoted to Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Regardless of what levels or how many realms existed in worlds outside the Primordial Era, they would all be calculated as having strength at or below Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Wanting the strength of a Quasi-Saint Great Divine Ability user? Dream on. How could that be possible? The myriad heavens and myriad realms are all subordinate lower realms to our Great Primordial World! It would be a fabrication to have Quasi-Saints emerge from them.
"So, the myriad heavens and myriad realms outside the Primordial Era are nothing compared to the Primordial Era, this supreme world?"
Xuan Du, listening to the Grand Pure Sage's fabrications, believed him wholeheartedly.
No wonder the Grand Pure Sage said the Heaven-Shielding Method was not a threat and could not endanger the status of the Golden Core Dao.
It turned out that the Perfect Method above the Heaven-Shielding Method, and the Sacred Ruins Method above the Perfect Method, were nothing compared to Primordial Era methods.
Even the highest level of the Sacred Ruins Method could only reach pseudo-Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Let alone the Heaven-Shielding Method, which was two tiers lower than the Sacred Ruins Method?
Since it could not threaten the status of the Golden Core Dao, the Grand Pure Sage naturally did not take it seriously.
It was likely that the Grand Pure Sage viewed the act of spreading the Heaven-Shielding Method as a joke.
In the next moment, the Grand Pure Sage's words confirmed Xuan Du's conjecture.
"The Heaven-Shielding Method is a short-lived method. Quasi-Emperors have a lifespan of only ten thousand years, and Great Emperors, without immortal elixirs, can hardly live beyond twenty thousand years."
"As for our Primordial Era methods, a single period of closed-door cultivation can span tens of millions of years, and that is common."
"Xuan Du, whether this Heaven-Shielding Method is passed down or not is irrelevant. We can enter closed-door cultivation for a million years, and by the time we emerge, those humans who practice the Heaven-Shielding Method will have turned to dust."
The Grand Pure Sage stood with his hands behind his back, as if looking down upon all things, seeing through the past and future.
According to his divination of heavenly secrets, humans who practiced the Heaven-Shielding Method would exhaust their lifespans and die within a mere ten thousand years.
Ultimately, only a pile of ashes would remain.
Therefore, although the Grand Pure Sage attached great importance to the Golden Core Dao harvesting human destiny, he did not take the abolition of the Golden Core Dao and the practice of the Heaven-Shielding Method seriously.
It was merely a short-lived method.
So what if it was passed down?
In millions, tens of millions of years.
Countless Great Emperors who practiced the Heaven-Shielding Method would have been born and died tens of thousands of times over.
And he.
A Heavenly Dao Saint.
Would always overlook all things through the ages.
The Golden Core Dao would always be able to spread among humans and harvest their destiny.
While those who practiced the Heaven-Shielding Method would only leave behind graves.
It was estimated that such a cultivation method would be forgotten millions of years later, becoming a part of history.
In the vast expanse of time, only those who were immortal could disregard the Heaven-Shielding Method.
Because immortals knew that this method was merely a short-lived one. Even if its combat power could dominate for a time, it would ultimately be an illusion.
The Golden Core Dao, however, was a method of eternal life.
The Golden Core Dao could be passed down forever!
"The myriad heavens and myriad realms are merely equivalent to a speck of dust in the Primordial Era world, their rules are full of loopholes, and their worlds are extremely fragile."
"Only our Great Primordial World is proclaimed as supreme and eternal, indestructible. No matter how many kalpas arise, it is merely a game of chess..."
The Grand Pure Sage, with the demeanor of a lofty immortal, repeatedly expounded the "Supreme Primordial Theory," drawing Xuan Du's gaze of immense admiration.
"Master speaks the truth. Those humans who practice the Heaven-Shielding Method, millions of years from now, I will go to their graves and see. Their tombstones will surely bear inscriptions of their regret for practicing the Heaven-Shielding Method."
"Our Primordial Era methods allow Great Luo Golden Immortals to be free and eternal in all time and space."
"And Heavenly Dao Saints can treat immeasurable kalpas with indifference. Even cosmic calamities cannot harm them in the slightest. Just like Great God Pangu, opening the heavens and earth and recreating the Primordial World would be effortless."
Xuan Du launched into an endless session of flattery, elevating the Grand Pure Sage to the heavens with his boasting.
"In my disciple's opinion, Master has attained the fruit of sainthood, while Great God Pangu failed to become a Saint. This shows that Master has surpassed Great God Pangu through later achievements."
