Chapter 641: The Current State of Humanity! To Break the Huoyun Cave Seal

As Tai Shang's eldest disciple, Xuan Du is no different.

Almost no one has ever seen Xuan Du fight.

Such a powerful being is as good as nonexistent.

Aside from this, humanity has no other strong ones.

Yes, none left.

The strongest among humanity today are merely Da Luo Jinxian, and only a few of them.

This is not humanity's fault.

In the Journey to the West World, no great cultivator became a Zhun Sheng without countless Wushuyuan Society's accumulation.

Moreover, every great cultivator who became a Zhun Sheng had an extraordinary origin.

Humanity was created by Nüwa, and their primordial root is inherently weak.

During the War of Wu and Yao, humanity was slaughtered en masse, and many strong ones perished at the hands of the Yao clan.

Not many Wushuyuan Society have passed since the end of the War of Wu and Yao; for humanity to produce Da Luo Jinxian is already astonishing.

After all, with humanity's weak primordial root, cultivation naturally proceeds slowly.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors became Zhun Sheng only because they were granted the position of Human Dao.

It was the position of Human Dao that gradually elevated them to their current realm—not their own painstaking cultivation.

Luo Fu's appearance means humanity has suddenly gained one great cultivator—and a top-tier great cultivator capable of suppressing others.

Thus, humanity's standing has been lifted by several levels at once.

How could this not be like rain after a long drought?

"Your Majesty overstates it—I possess no great strength or skill; you are humanity's pillars of white jade and beams of purple gold."

"No, no, I have not overstated it."

"Alas, though we hold the rank of Subholy due to Human Dao's blessing, the Huoyun Cave is like a prison, trapping us. Our usefulness to humanity does not even match that of a single Da Luo Jinxian."

Heaven Emperor Fu Xi could not help but sigh again.

"Indeed, Daoist Luofu, we cannot leave the Huoyun Cave at all—we are utterly useless to humanity."

Not only Heaven Emperor Fu Xi, but Earth Emperor Shen Nong also could not help but sigh.

"Trapped in the Huoyun Cave for so long, my sword is nearly rusted—what kind of Emperor is this? Had I known, I'd have refused the title entirely."

Compared to Heaven Emperor Fu Xi and Earth Emperor Shen Nong, Earth Emperor Huang Di had a fiercer temperament; as he spoke, he clenched his sword tightly, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes.

"Heh, if so, do the Three Sovereigns wish to leave the Huoyun Cave?"

Hearing the Three Sovereigns' words, Luo Fu smiled faintly, revealing his true intent.

"Leave the Huoyun Cave? We've tried countless times—it's impossible. This is Ancestor Hongjun's seal!"

Hearing Luo Fu's words, Heaven Emperor Fu Xi assumed he did not understand the Huoyun Cave's situation, and sighed bitterly in explanation.

"Yes! Even a Sheng cannot break this seal?"

Earth Emperor Shen Nong added bitterly.

Boom!

A blade of light shot from Earth Emperor Huang Di's hand, slashing toward the nearby seal.

This blade of light was incredibly sharp—even an ordinary Zhun Sheng would dare not meet it head-on.

Crash!

Yet when this attack struck the seal, it did not shake it in the slightest—it was absorbed outright, leaving only a soft sound.

"Daoist, you saw it yourself—this seal cannot be broken."

Earth Emperor Huang Di demonstrated the Huoyun Cave seal's strength through action.

"Heh, I know the Huoyun Cave seal well—breaking it is actually not difficult."

After witnessing Huang Di's blade fail to affect the seal, Luo Fu still smiled faintly, voicing his view—his smile carried an unspoken confidence.

"Oh? Does Daoist have some special method to break this seal?"

Sensing Luo Fu's confidence, Heaven Emperor Fu Xi looked toward him with a glimmer of hope.

He could tell Luo Fu was not a man who spoke empty boasts.

Knowing the nature of the seal, Luo Fu still insisted it could be broken.

This gave Heaven Emperor Fu Xi a flicker of hope.

Though he did not believe Luo Fu possessed a method to break Ancestor Hongjun's seal.

But Luo Fu was too mysterious—the methods he revealed in subduing the Buddha were profoundly unfathomable.

It was hard to guarantee Luo Fu did not truly possess a way to break this seal.

Not only Heaven Emperor Fu Xi, but Earth Emperor Shen Nong and Earth Emperor Huang Di all fixed their gazes on Luo Fu, eager to hear his answer.

"The method? I already told you."

Luo Fu raised his finger toward the primordial tortoise shell in Heaven Emperor Fu Xi's hand.

"Already told us?"

Heaven Emperor Fu Xi first frowned in confusion, then suddenly realized—he exclaimed involuntarily:

"You mean Qun Long Shou Tian? That hexagram was sent to me by you? And you suppressed humanity's heavenly fate?"

Flash!

Hearing Fu Xi's exclamation, Earth Emperor Shen Nong and Earth Emperor Huang Di both trembled inwardly, their gazes turning solemn, locked tightly on Luo Fu.

Qun Long Shou Tian? They had just analyzed this hexagram.

If Luo Fu's meaning was correct—that breaking the Huoyun Cave required the hexagram—then his purpose became clear.

His purpose was to oppose Ancestor Hongjun.

It wasn't just the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi—the Earth Sovereign Shennong and the Human Sovereign Xuanyuan also figured out the hidden meaning in Luo Fu's words, and they all looked at Luo Fu, eyes filled with shock.

Although the Three Sovereigns often privately complained about Ancestor Hongjun, they had never once entertained the thought of rebelling against him.

It wasn't that they didn't want to—it was that they knew it was impossible.

From the time Ancestor Hongjun preached the Dao in Zixiao Palace, he had been like a great sun, shrouding the entire Primordial World.

The Six Saints were all disciples of Ancestor Hongjun; even their sainthood had been bestowed by him.

Throughout the Primordial World, there might be many who were unconvinced by the Six Saints, even feeling they were unworthy of their positions.

But Ancestor Hongjun alone—no immortal or god had ever harbored the slightest thought of rebellion against him.

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

The Heavenly Dao is supreme and cannot be defied.

"Your guess is correct. Every divination sign you received was transmitted by me. The Dragons Hunting the Heaven—this is what I intend to do, and the only way to break the deadlock of the human race."

Luo Fu was not at all surprised by the shock of the Three Sovereigns.

Not just the Three Sovereigns—even he, a transmigrator, had for a very long time maintained a reverence for Ancestor Hongjun.

Had it not been for his cheat, for having witnessed the Heavens and Myriad Worlds and learned how insignificant the Primordial World was, Luo Fu's reverence for Ancestor Hongjun would not have faded so quickly.

To the Primordial World, Ancestor Hongjun was almost an insurmountable hurdle.

Although after merging with the Dao, Ancestor Hongjun had never made a move, he remained the great mountain pressing down upon every living being in the entire Primordial World.
