Chapter 260

Now, he realizes he was overthinking.

Even if he attains the Dao and becomes a Saint, so what?

He doesn't even know the true secrets of the Primordial World.

Perhaps he knows a little, but it's likely only half-understood.

What difference does that make from not knowing?

In other words, Saints don't even have the qualifications to know the secrets of the Primordial World.

They are not yet worthy of entering the game.

One can imagine:

To what level of strength the existences truly laying out the plans have reached.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun might be an insider, but he definitely hasn't reached a position of absolute control.

Could it be above the Heavenly Dao realm?

If that is truly the case, it makes one's scalp tingle even more!

He shook his head, quickly discarding all these distracting thoughts.

Thinking about this now is simply too much.

Rather than letting his imagination run wild, it is better to improve his strength as quickly as possible; that is the most correct path.

Just as he flew out of the sea and was preparing to leave,

suddenly, Hongxuan seemed to perceive something and was stunned to find a low-cultivation shrimp spirit not far away, holding a fork and slowly approaching him.

It seemed to be planning to ambush him.

Hongxuan couldn't help but be amused to the point of anger.

This shrimp spirit didn't seem very bright.

Even if he restrained his aura, the faint, intangible pressure he radiated should have been something this shrimp spirit could feel.

Was its nerve so thick that it wasn't afraid of death?

Hongxuan was speechless and was about to dispose of it casually.

But unexpectedly, the next moment,

Hongxuan's expression became exceptionally strange.

His eyes held a look of amusement, and the killing intent he originally had vanished instantly.

"Haotian, I didn't expect that you, the dignified Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court, would actually fall to this point."

"In this lifetime, you've actually reincarnated into a sea-race shrimp spirit?!!"

"And you look so silly."

"If you hadn't met me today and had your identity seen through, I'm afraid your life this time would have ended early!"

Seeing Haotian's current appearance, Hongxuan's previously depressed mood dissipated quite a bit.

Sure enough, undergoing tribulations through reincarnation is not that easy.

Hongxuan glanced at it; this shrimp spirit had only just become a spirit and hadn't even finished forming its demon core.

It had only cultivated a bit of demon power.

Among the sea race, it was likely at the very, very bottom.

Its prospects were worrying!

If Yaochi were to see this scene, she would probably be laughed at too!

It would likely become a permanent dark history for Haotian in the future.

Finally, he took a deep look at the shrimp spirit and did not linger.

He disappeared directly.

Now that Haotian is undergoing his tribulation, he doesn't want to be overly involved.

Affecting the Great Heavenly Venerable's time of return would be quite disadvantageous for him.

Whether it's killing him or giving him some benefits, neither is acceptable.

Then let's just ignore him!

Leaving behind only that shrimp spirit, frozen in place, completely bewildered.

With a clear yet foolish gaze.

It seemed to still be wondering why the prey from just a moment ago had suddenly disappeared.

It shook its ugly, large head and submerged back into the seawater, preparing to look for other prey.

On the other side, Hongxuan didn't care about the shrimp spirit and soon cast it to the back of his mind.

This was just one of Haotian's lifetimes, after all.

Presumably, this lifetime would involve experiencing quite a few tribulations.

Looking at its silly, cute appearance, it would definitely get into plenty of trouble.

With such poor cultivation, it would be strange if it didn't suffer!

Without spending much time, Hongxuan soon returned to the Primordial Continent.

"Sigh, sure enough, five million years have already passed."

By now, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had long since achieved full merit, and the human race had entered the era of hereditary succession.

Currently, the dynasty ruling the human race is the Xia Dynasty, started by Yu the Great's son, Qi of Xia.

Because the Earth Sovereign Shennong had taught martial arts back then, countless humans without the talent for immortal cultivation began to practice martial arts.

This not only gave them decent combat power,

but also allowed them to better develop the human race's productivity.

Development was extremely rapid.

Of course, perhaps because the base number of people learning martial arts was too large,

the number of those who achieved great success was definitely not small.

This allowed them all to possess the qualifications for immortal cultivation.

There were countless others who subsequently sought opportunities for immortal cultivation.

As a result, after so many years, the number of immortal cultivators among the human race is beyond imagination.

Within the human regions, there are an unimaginably large number of various Daoist traditions.

Of course, the three sects—Human, Elucidation, and Interception—are the most numerous.

Following them, those great Primordial powerhouses have also passed down their own traditions one by one.

Even those Great Luo Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, or even Golden Immortals with slightly weaker cultivation would create sects and forces to pass down their traditions.

If they cannot establish a sect like a Saint, then establishing a sect or force is not impossible.

Because of this, on Hongxuan's journey here,

every mountain range with slightly more spiritual energy was gathered with many sects and forces.

They were recruiting disciples on a large scale.

Among them, those born with the talent for immortal cultivation were naturally the primary targets.

Of course, those who achieved the qualifications for immortal cultivation through practicing martial arts were also within the scope of recruitment.

Over the countless years that have passed, there have been no shortage of those who achieved great success by entering the Dao through martial arts.

Perhaps at the very beginning, these sects were quite dismissive of those who entered the Dao through martial arts.

But as more and more people achieved success,

they no longer dared to look down upon these martial-arts-to-Dao practitioners.

Every person who practiced martial arts to great success had experienced countless hardships.

At the very least, their wisdom and state of mind were much stronger than those of the immortal cultivation novices.

Throughout the entire immortal cultivation world, immortal cultivators who entered the Dao through martial arts have already occupied a significant scale.

They are even a group that cannot be ignored.

Many immortal cultivators who entered the Dao through martial arts have even become disciples under the three sects.

In this way, they can be considered to have been acknowledged by the Saints.

Since even the Saints acknowledge them, naturally other traditions would not refuse.

It can be said that the human race today has a huge number of immortal cultivators, and the composition is also very complex.

Hongxuan witnessed all this along the way.

In his heart, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
