Chapter 954: The Dao of the Human Race

Su Fan himself may not know it, but he has already entered the sights of many Great Supernatural Beings.

This is not only because of his contributions to the Human Race, but also because he still carries the mark of Zhenyuanzi Daxian upon him.

Zhenyuanzi is, after all, one of the top-tier Great Supernatural Beings in the Earth Immortal World.

Within the Taoist Sect, his status is second only to the Three Pure Ones; now that the Three Pure Ones Saints have all left the Earth Immortal World, with only the Taiqing Saint's good corpse, Taishang Laojun, sitting in the Heavenly Court, the leadership of the Taoist Sect has gradually shifted to Zhenyuanzi.

After all, the Taiqing Saint has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, and Taishang Laojun is even more so.

With the departure of the Three Pure Ones, the strength of the Taoist Sect appears to have weakened significantly.

However, the two Saints of the Buddhist Sect have also left.

In reality, the strength of the Taoist Sect remains the most powerful; others simply cannot resist it, even the Buddhist Sect, so what of it?

The strength of the Taoist Sect can always crush them.

It is just that the Taoist Sect is not united internally, each having their own plans, and the Three Teachings are even hostile toward one another.

Therefore, the Taoist Sect is currently unable to suppress the Buddhist Sect, or other Evil Paths, or even the Demonic Path.

Following the infighting within the Taoist Sect and the rise of the Buddhist Sect, other heterodox paths in Honghuang have also flourished, especially after the War of Investiture of the Gods and the departure of the Saints.

The Demonic Path also became extremely arrogant from that time on.

After all, without the Saints, those Ancestors of the Demonic Path have much less fear in their hearts, even if they are still wary of those Great Supernatural Beings in Honghuang.

But at least they dare to take action now.

Thus, the Demonic Path is becoming increasingly prevalent in the Earth Immortal World.

Yet the Taoist Sect still has not stepped forward, but regardless of the state of the Taoist Sect, every move made by Zhenyuanzi, this great power of the Taoist Sect, will still cause many immortals and gods to tremble.

At this moment, many Great Supernatural Beings are secretly pondering what it means for Zhenyuanzi to suddenly stand behind that Su Fan.

Could it be that Zhenyuanzi has already taken the side of the Human Race?

If that is truly the case, then the Heavenly Court will be in a difficult position.

As for this Great Tribulation of the Great Qin, how could those gods and buddhas filling the sky not know that the Human Race's Fire Cloud Cave is pushing it from behind?

They are also clear about what the Human Race wants.

After all, the power of the Human Race is growing stronger and stronger.

They certainly want to take back what is theirs, but the gods and buddhas filling the sky are naturally unwilling; of course, neither side wants to fight to the death.

The Human Race today is already enough to threaten the immortals and gods; if a real death battle were to occur, I fear it would be even more terrifying than the War of Investiture of the Gods.

After all, the current Earth Immortal World is not like the Honghuang of the past; it is not very stable to begin with, and if a few Quasi-Saints were to truly engage in a great battle and things heated up, I fear the Earth Immortal World would face the crisis of being shattered once again.

At that time, there would be no Saints with the ability to refine earth, water, fire, and wind again.

As for the Dao Ancestor, in reality, most people understand that after the Three Lectures at Zixiao Palace concluded, the Dao Ancestor likely departed.

As for the legendary Merging with the Dao, that was merely the Dao Ancestor's avatar merging with the Dao.

After all, do not forget that the Dao Ancestor created the method of attaining the Dao through the Three Corpses; the fact that the other party's Three Corpses merged to become a Saint does not mean they cannot be separated.

So, do not count on the Dao Ancestor now.

In fact, many Quasi-Saints felt that the Dao Ancestor's aura was different when he appeared during the War of Investiture of the Gods back then.

Therefore, with the Dao Ancestor gone and no Saints present, relying solely on Quasi-Saints to refine the Earth Immortal World would likely be very difficult.

If such a great battle were to truly erupt, it would not be a good thing for any party.

Both sides are very cautious and will not easily engage in a great battle.

Moreover, the several Quasi-Saints of the Human Race are all very powerful; even those gods and buddhas filling the sky dare not act easily.

Even if they were to head to Chaos for a great battle, they could not be certain that they would definitely be able to suppress Fuxi and the others.

The Heavenly Court also pretends not to see the Human Race's schemes; as long as Fire Cloud Cave does not personally enter the fray, they will not easily dispatch a great army to attack the Great Qin.

Otherwise, when Emperor Lord Gouchen was beaten to a pulp by Bai Qi back then, according to the Heavenly Court's usual tyranny, they would have long since dispatched the Heavenly Court's divine generals.

If it were the Demon Race, let alone a Demon King, even a Demon Saint would not be easily let off by the Heavenly Court.

Over these years, the Heavenly Court has struck quite hard against the demons and evil spirits of the Three Realms, which has greatly enhanced the majesty of the Heavenly Court.

But when facing the Human Race, the Heavenly Court dares not go too far.

Here in Jiuzhou, the Heavenly Court can only rely on the hands of others to make the Human Race fight amongst themselves.

The reason the Six Kingdoms Remnants have been able to persist for so long is also because of the support from behind by the Heavenly Court.

One must know how strong the power of the Great Qin is; even with only Wang Bi's single army, it is not something the Six Kingdoms Remnants can compare to.

Among Wang Bi's five hundred thousand troops, there are no fewer than three Golden Immortals alone; Wang Bi himself is a combatant at the Golden Immortal level, and coupled with his cultivation of the Military School Path and coordination with the Military Formation, his combat power is comparable to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Peak.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Military School.

Once the Military Qi erupts, it is comparable to Law Power.

Therefore, that Ancestor of the Military School who created the Military School divine abilities is indeed terrifying, breaking through to the Great Luo Peak in one go, with the potential of a Quasi-Saint in the future.

After all, this can be considered opening up another path, even though this Military School Path is still counted among the Eight Hundred Minor Daos; after all, only the Three Thousand Great Daos can lead to becoming a Saint.

But even if it is only a Quasi-Saint, it is still extremely terrifying in the Earth Immortal World.

Those who can open up a Minor Dao are all Great Supernatural Beings in the Earth Immortal World.

This is also the terrifying nature of the Hundred Schools of Thought; almost all the masters of the Hundred Schools of Thought have opened up a Minor Dao.

The golden age of the Hundred Schools of Thought can be said to be the foundation accumulated by the Human Race since the ancient times, which then erupted all at once.

Although this process was also taken advantage of by some gods and buddhas—for instance, that Saint of Confucianism was a reincarnation of a god or buddha, occupying quite a bit of the Confucianism's Qi of Luck.

Regarding this, the Human Race is helpless.

But the majority of the masters are still of the Human Race.

Therefore, with the emergence of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the power of the Human Race has ascended to a new level, with over a dozen more Great Luo Golden Immortals.

In the future, there may even be a few Quasi-Saints born.

Once all these powers erupt, they will no longer be weaker than those gods and buddhas filling the sky.

It was also when the Hundred Schools of Thought erupted, and the immortals and gods became increasingly wary of the Human Race, that the suppression began to spiral out of control.

However, the Human Race also stubbornly resisted the pressure.

At the same time, they were constantly winning over some immortals and gods.

After all, the immortals and gods were not of one mind; there were many conflicts within their own ranks.

Zhenyuanzi was, in fact, a target of the Human Race's recruitment, a point that many immortals and gods actually understood.

At the same time, some immortals and gods of the Jie Sect were the same.

But previously, Zhenyuanzi had never shown any indication; yet this time, Zhenyuanzi placed his own mark upon Su Fan.

This was something many powerful beings had not expected; for who was Su Fan? He was a future sage of the Human Race.

Zhenyuanzi doing this shocked many immortals and gods; if Zhenyuanzi truly joined the side of the Human Race, it would absolutely be a major event for all the Gods and Buddhas in the sky.
