"What the Young Clan Leader says is vastly different from what I know of cultivation. Forgive me for not understanding."
Most of those present were also confused, and a small portion even felt resistance.
This was the consequence of their own cultivation views being negated.
Fang Ming noticed their gazes.
Fang Ming sighed inwardly.
"The Heaven-Shielding Method not only goes against the principles of the Golden Core Dao, but also against all primordial cultivation methods."
"These clan members have all cultivated the Golden Core Dao for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of years."
"Too much time has passed, and their minds have been deeply poisoned by the Golden Core Dao."
"Under such a mindset, encountering the Heaven-Shielding Method, which contradicts their beliefs, naturally leads to confusion and even resistance."
"When I later say that cultivating the Heaven-Shielding Method requires abandoning the Golden Core Dao, their resistance will only grow stronger!"
This was also why Fang Ming wanted to first use the merit of the Great Dao to improve his own cultivation, cultivate the Heaven-Shielding Method to a profound level, and then persuade his clan members to switch.
To make others abandon a cultivation technique they have practiced for millions of years is no small feat.
Even with his cultivation of "Taiyi Golden Immortal" in their eyes, Fang Ming's persuasion still caused them confusion and resistance.
If he were to persuade them with a cultivation of "Refining Spirit to Return to Void," it would be more than just resistance; they would likely deem him insane on the spot.
No one would even consider cultivating the Heaven-Shielding Method.
This was still a relatively good start. Fang Ming believed that once he revealed a cultivation comparable to a "Grand Unity Golden Immortal" and explained the principles of the Heaven-Shielding Method in detail, many clan members would surely choose to cultivate it.
At that point, once this group of clan members achieved success, they could inspire all the humans in the tribe to cultivate!
Fang Ming's thoughts raced, but he said aloud:
"Clan Elder, the human body itself possesses infinite potential. As long as we open up gates within the body and delve deep into its potential, we can extinguish stars and shatter the void with our fingers."
"Seek within, and do not seek external heaven and earth, lest you abandon the root for the branches."
"Only oneself is the most reliable. Over-reliance on external heaven and earth will inevitably lead to endless future troubles."
"Who among the great divine abilities and the quasi-saint mighty figures of the Demon Court has a closer relationship with heaven and earth than us humans, when fighting them? Who can borrow more power from heaven and earth?"
Fang Ming left one sentence unsaid.
Heavenly Dao Saints merged with the Dao, their primordial spirits integrated into the Heavenly Dao. Who had a closer relationship with the Heavenly Dao than them?
If the Human Race opposed the Saints, and the Human Race cast spells and divine abilities, what power from heaven and earth could they borrow? If the Saints did not agree, could they borrow it?
Even if one's own magical power was meager, the power of heaven and earth was an external force, not necessarily reliable. The magical power sought from within was the most reliable!
"This..."
The Clan Elder was encountering the concept of seeking within, rather than seeking externally, for the first time.
Did the human body truly possess infinite potential?
Could one become a great divine ability user simply by excavating human potential, without borrowing the power of heaven and earth?
The concept spoken by the Young Clan Leader, upon closer examination, formed a coherent logic with no loopholes.
It didn't seem like he was talking nonsense; it seemed feasible?
At this moment, others began to discuss.
"I think what the Young Clan Leader said is correct. Those great divine ability users, the Grand Unity Demon Gods of the Demon Court, are powerful beings who have profoundly comprehended the Heavenly Dao and can borrow infinite power from heaven and earth."
"Can our Human Race compare with them in understanding the Heavenly Dao? Can we compare with them in who can borrow more power from heaven and earth?"
"This is using our Human Race's weakness to attack the enemy's strength, which is clearly disadvantageous."
"We cannot compete with the enemy in what they are best at."
"If the Heaven-Shielding Method is truly effective, then in my opinion, it is more suitable for the development of the Human Race than the Golden Core Dao..."
Many clan members began to seriously consider Fang Ming's words.
After analysis, they confirmed that Fang Ming's words were logically sound.
As long as the Heaven-Shielding Method truly existed, it would indeed be a more suitable cultivation method for the Human Race than the Golden Core Dao.
But did the true Heaven-Shielding Method possess the advantages Fang Ming described?
"Young Clan Leader, may I ask who transmitted the Heaven-Shielding Method? And what is their cultivation?"
Finally, someone asked this question.
Fang Ming replied, "The great being who transmitted the Heaven-Shielding Method to me calls himself Emperor Ye."
"His cultivation is that of a Red Dust Immortal, and according to him, it is comparable to the peak strength of the Heavenly Dao Realm!"
Peak Heavenly Dao Realm?
Everyone present was horrified!
It must be known that this was the Heavenly Dao Realm, not the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm!
The Heavenly Dao Realm was the realm of the legendary teacher of the Six Saints, Patriarch Hongjun.
In the Primordial World, only the Dao Ancestor could be called Heavenly Dao Realm.
Now, this Emperor Ye claimed to be at the peak of the Heavenly Dao Realm, and not only that, but he surpassed the Heavenly Dao Saints by a major realm, standing above the Six Saints!
And it was not the early stage of the Heavenly Dao Realm, but the peak!
Could even the Dao Ancestor not match such strength?
"I heard that a Chaos Demon God named Great Immortal Yang Mei once defeated the Dao Ancestor."
"Could this Emperor Ye be a Chaos Demon God who survived in the chaos?"
Some knowledgeable humans were utterly shocked.
In legends, when Pangu opened the heavens, he did not truly kill all three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.
Some Chaos Demon Gods survived the tribulation of the opening of the heavens and continued to exist in the chaos.
This Emperor Ye was more powerful than the Dao Ancestor, yet his name was never heard. The only possibility was that he resided outside the Primordial World, a Chaos Demon God from the chaos!
With Great Immortal Yang Mei capable of defeating the Dao Ancestor, it seemed acceptable to have another Emperor Ye.
Moreover, Emperor Ye's name might not be his true name; perhaps he was an incarnation of Great Immortal Yang Mei!
For a time, everyone became excited.
They had received the teachings of a Chaos Demon God!
This was the teaching of a Chaos Demon God! A Chaos Demon God more powerful than the Dao Ancestor imparting cultivation methods!
Was this not ten thousand times better than the teachings of the Great Pure Saint?
Seeing their astonished expressions,
Fang Ming sighed inwardly, "The Heaven-Shielding Method only involves content from the Heaven-Shielding Realm, so I only mentioned Emperor Ye's highest achievement within the Heaven-Shielding Realm."
"I did not reveal Emperor Ye's ultimate realm in the three trilogies of worlds."
"Because, at present, the Human Race's understanding is already at its limit with the power of a Red Dust Immortal."
"The realm beyond the Sacrifice Dao, where a single thought can dry up three thousand Great Daos, let alone the Human Race, even if Pangu were resurrected, could he comprehend what that realm is?"
"The true strength of Emperor Ye is something that even a Great Dao Saint could not imagine or comprehend!"
Fang Ming only obtained the content of the Heaven-Shielding Method, so he did not know how many realms Emperor Ye had surpassed Great Dao Saints by.
This was uncertain.
