Chapter 402

In reality, no matter when Luo Fu appeared, for the human race, it was like timely rain after a long drought.

This was because the human race truly lacked any formidable experts they could rely on.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were considered the human race's top-tier powerhouses, but they were all sealed away.

Aside from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the only other expert the human race could produce was Xuandu.

Yet, Xuandu was a disciple of Taishang, and the Saint Taishang cultivated the path of quietude and non-action, rarely involving himself in the disputes of the Three Realms.

As the eldest disciple of Taishang, Xuandu was the same.

Almost no one had ever seen Xuandu take action.

Having such an expert was equivalent to having none at all.

Beyond that, the human race had no other experts.

Yes, none.

The current strongest members of the human race were merely Da Luo Golden Immortals, and there were only a few of them.

This could not be blamed on the human race.

Every great supernatural being in the Journey to the West world had only become a Quasi-Saint after the accumulation of countless eons.

Moreover, almost every great supernatural being who attained the Quasi-Saint realm had an extraordinary origin.

The human race was created by Nüwa, so their innate foundation was not strong.

During the Great War of the Wu and Demon Races, a large portion of the human race was slaughtered, and many of their experts died at the hands of the Demon Race.

Now, not many eons had passed since the end of that war; it was already astonishing that the human race could produce Da Luo Golden Immortals.

After all, given the human race's foundation, their cultivation speed was never fast.

The reason the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were able to become Quasi-Saint experts was due to the blessing of the Human Dao status.

It was the Human Dao status that pushed them step by step to their current realm, not their own bit-by-bit hard cultivation.

Luo Fu's appearance meant that the human race suddenly gained another great supernatural being—and a top-tier one capable of suppressing other great supernatural beings at that.

In this way, it directly elevated the status of the human race by several levels.

How could this not be considered timely rain after a long drought?

"The Heavenly Sovereign overpraises me. My meager strength and methods are nothing; you are the true pillars of heaven and earth for our human race."

"No, no, no, I am not overpraising you."

"Sigh, although we possess the status of Sub-Saints due to the blessing of the Human Dao, the Fire Cloud Cave is like a cage, trapping us. Our utility to the human race is not even comparable to that of a single Da Luo Golden Immortal."

The Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi could not help but sigh again.

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Luo Fu, we cannot leave the Fire Cloud Cave at all; we are of no use to the human race."

It was not just the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi; the Earthly Sovereign Shennong also could not help but begin to sigh.

"Having been sealed in the Fire Cloud Cave for so long, my precious sword is almost rusted. What kind of Human Emperor is this? Had I known it would be like this, I would rather not have this position."

Compared to the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi and the Earthly Sovereign Shennong, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan had a more fiery temperament. As he spoke, he gripped his sword tightly, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes.

"Hehe, in that case, do the Three Sovereigns wish to leave this Fire Cloud Cave?"

Hearing the words of the Three Sovereigns, Luo Fu smiled faintly and stated his purpose.

"Leave the Fire Cloud Cave? We have tried countless times; it is simply impossible. This is a seal placed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Regarding Luo Fu's words, the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi assumed he did not understand the situation of the Fire Cloud Cave and explained with a bitter smile.

"Yes! Even a Saint cannot break the seal here, can they?"

The Earthly Sovereign Shennong added with a bitter smile.

Boom!

A sword light flew from the hand of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, slashing toward the seal not far away.

This sword light was incredibly sharp; even ordinary Quasi-Saint experts would not dare to take it head-on.

Bang!

Yet, such an attack, upon landing on the seal, did not shake it in the slightest; it was directly absorbed by the seal, leaving only a soft sound.

"Fellow Daoist has seen it now; it is simply impossible to break the seal here."

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan used direct action to demonstrate the strength of the Fire Cloud Cave's seal to Luo Fu.

"Hehe, of course I know about the Fire Cloud Cave's seal. Breaking the seal here is actually not difficult."

Having witnessed that the sword light from the Human Emperor Xuanyuan could do nothing to the seal, Luo Fu still smiled slightly and expressed his view, the smile on his face containing an indescribable confidence.

"Oh? Could it be that Fellow Daoist has some special method to break the seal here?"

Sensing the confidence in Luo Fu's tone, the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi looked at Luo Fu with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

He could tell that Luo Fu was not a person who spoke empty words.

Knowing the nature of the seal, Luo Fu still insisted he could break it.

This caused a glimmer of hope to arise in the heart of the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi.

Although he did not believe Luo Fu had the means to break a seal set by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Yet, Luo Fu was simply too mysterious, and the methods he displayed during the battle to suppress Tathagata were unfathomable.

It was hard to guarantee whether Luo Fu truly had some method to break the seal here.

It was not just the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi; the Earthly Sovereign Shennong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan also locked their gazes on Luo Fu, impatient to hear his answer.

"Actually, I have already told you the method."

Luo Fu raised his finger and pointed at the innate tortoise shell in the hand of the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi.

"You already told us?"

The Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, exclaiming uncontrollably:

"Are you talking about the 'Group of Dragons Hunting the Heavens'? Was this hexagram passed to me by you? Was the heavenly secret of the human race also suppressed by you?"

Swish!

Hearing the exclamation of the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi, the hearts of the Earthly Sovereign Shennong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan also shook, their gazes becoming exceptionally solemn, locking onto Luo Fu.

The Group of Dragons Hunting the Heavens? They had just analyzed this hexagram.

According to Luo Fu's meaning, to break the Fire Cloud Cave, one must rely on the hexagram, so Luo Fu's goal became self-evident.

His goal was actually to oppose the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

It was not just the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi; the Earthly Sovereign Shennong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan also understood the hidden meaning in Luo Fu's words, and they all looked at Luo Fu, their eyes filled with shock.

Although the Three Sovereigns often complained about the Dao Ancestor Hongjun in private, they had never had the thought of rebelling against him.

It was not that they didn't want to, but that they knew it was impossible.

From the preaching at the Zixiao Palace until now, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been like a great sun, enveloping the entire Primordial world.

The six Saints were all disciples of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and even their Saint positions were bestowed by him.

In the entire Primordial world, there might be many who were unconvinced by the six Saints, even feeling they were unworthy of their positions.

But regarding the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, no immortal or god had ever had the slightest thought of rebellion.

In the hearts of all immortals and gods, and even the Saints, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was equivalent to the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao was supreme and could not be defied.

"You guessed correctly; the hexagram you divined was entirely passed to you by me. The Group of Dragons Hunting the Heavens—this is what I want to do, and it is the only way to break the human race's predicament."

Regarding the shock of the Three Sovereigns, Luo Fu was not surprised in the slightest.

Not just the Three Sovereigns, but even he, as a transmigrator, had maintained awe for the Dao Ancestor Hongjun for a long time.

If he hadn't possessed a cheat, seen the myriad worlds, and known the insignificance of the Primordial world, Luo Fu's awe of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not have disappeared so quickly.

For the Primordial world, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was almost an insurmountable obstacle.

Although he had never taken action since merging with the Heavenly Dao, he remained a great mountain pressing down on the heads of all living beings in the entire Primordial world.
