Chapter 14: The Second Lecture Blocks the Wu race, Hongjun Is Directly Targeting the Wu race!

Many masters in the Primordial Realm had this thought.

Not only had the Yao race’s power been greatly diminished, but the backlash from the Heavenly Tribulation Dao fruit losing control also indicated that the Yao race could not master the Heavenly Tribulations. Their future was destined to bring more tribulations and karma, leading to resentment from all races.

These factors would impact the overall situation.

Of course, this influence was still in its early stages. Any powerful masters could see that the Yao race’s inclusiveness and their backing by the Heavenly Dao gave them enormous potential, far greater than that of the Wu race.

Most powerful masters leaned toward the success of the Yao race.

However, as they were pondering this, the fires of war in the skies showed no signs of abating.

The Twelve Wu Ancestors descended upon the Heavenly Realm, summoning laws as if they intended to destroy the Yao race’s heavenly court in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, many powerful masters were shocked.

“Wait, could it be that the Wu race wants to seize this opportunity to initiate a final battle?”

“Where did they get such confidence?”

“After all, only Di Jiang has reached the Quasi-Saint level.”

“Da Luo Golden Immortals are hard to kill. Moreover, the Yao race also has a Quasi-Saint, who, even if seriously injured, would still be difficult to deal with once recovered!”

“If they manage to escape, can the Wu race withstand the retaliation?”

Many powerful masters could not understand the Wu race’s intentions.

There were also differing opinions within the Twelve Wu Ancestors.

Some of the Wu Ancestors were eager to take advantage of Donghuang Taiyi’s severe injuries to accomplish great things and even start a true final battle.

However, others hesitated.

Quasi-Saints were challenging to kill.

Even within the Wu race, only one Quasi-Saint existed. It had been fortunate that they caught their opponent off guard, which allowed them to inflict severe injuries. But now that he had recovered, killing him would be extremely difficult.

Yet before they could reach a decision, Chu Xuan, behind the Heavenly Tribulation Dao fruit, shook his head.

“Withdraw. The opportunity is gone!”

Before the Wu Ancestors could inquire further, other Wu Ancestors connected to the Heavenly Tribulation Dao suddenly felt immense pressure from the Heavenly Dao.

They instinctively withdrew their control over the Heavenly Tribulation Dao.

A vast power smoothed out the ripples in the Heavenly Tribulation Dao—a power belonging to the Heavenly Dao.

Within the heavenly court, the Heavenly Tribulation Dao fruit suddenly extinguished.

It split into six separate Dao fruits, their auras dropping rapidly, returning to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Within the chaos, a deep chime resonated.



The entire Primordial Realm trembled, as all Daos were pacified. A terrifying saintly presence descended from the chaos, pressing down on all strong beings indiscriminately.

Under the sage’s authority, no powerful beings could make a move, lest they be seen as challenging the sage.

The chime rang, and the Dao unfolded as promised.

“The Heavenly Dao has reached completion. In three thousand years, the Zixiao Palace will open for the second lecture on the Dao of Quasi-Saints. Those with fate may come to listen!”

This faint voice spread across the primordial world, accompanied by the will of the Heavenly Dao, and stirred up a powerful response.

Flowers rained from the sky, golden lotuses burst from the earth, and purple energy covered the entire Primordial Realm.

Seeing this, the Yao race rejoiced, while the Wu Ancestors turned pale.

With Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, setting the lecture date, the Wu race could no longer initiate a war.

Otherwise, it would be tantamount to showing disrespect to the saint!

This was an unspoken agreement and respect for the first saint of the world, the Dao Ancestor!

Even the proud Wu Ancestors had to admit their reverence!

But there was one thing that couldn’t be ignored: The timing was far too coincidental!

This coincidence weighed heavily on the minds of the Wu Ancestors, recalling Chu Xuan’s previous words.

The Wu and Yao races were like the Three Longhan races. Who had emerged victorious in the past?

Reluctantly, the Wu Ancestors, along with all living beings, bowed towards the Nine Heavens, expressing gratitude to the Dao Ancestor for imparting the Dao, even though the Wu race did not need it.

This was true power, the sway of the great tide!

Sitting in the Pangu Palace, Chu Xuan was unaffected by Hongjun’s saintly presence. This ancestral hall of the Wu race, backed by Pangu’s heart, was immune to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao or even saints.

Chu Xuan looked outwards, his gaze flickering.

“The Heavenly Dao was completed early, and the lecture was initiated ahead of schedule? I can see through your schemes! You couldn’t resist intervening! It seems you’re genuinely afraid the Wu race might kill off the Yao race prematurely! In the original timeline, similar events had occurred. The Yao race often fell behind due to either lectures or decrees from Hongjun, with the Yaos governing the heavens and the Wu governing the earth. For ten thousand years, they were barred from waging war, covertly protecting the Yao race! The early appearance of such events isn’t bad; it means my interventions are having an effect! Hongjun’s moves are limited. Let’s see how many cards you can play!”

Chu Xuan smiled, feeling more confident about altering the original future. He wasn’t too bothered about not wiping out the Yao race. After all, even if Hongjun hadn’t interfered, the Wu race’s chances of destroying the Yao race were slim.

In the end, it was a world of cultivation, where high-level strength was fundamental. Gaining a temporary advantage did not automatically mean one could start a war.

If it had been feasible, the Wu race wouldn’t have stood by as the Yao race grew.

Killing a strong opponent required pushing them into a situation where they had no choice but to engage in a final battle.

Historically, the Wu-Yao battle resulted from the two great powers completely dividing the Primordial Realm. Tensions escalated, and both sides developed the means to become a saint, making war inevitable.

But in the current Primordial Realm, the division between the two races was not yet complete, and neither side had reached their ultimate potential.

Although Chu Xuan appeared calm, some of the Twelve Wu Ancestors were dissatisfied upon returning to the Wu race with the Pangu Palace.

As the Twelve Wu Ancestors entered the hall, Chu Xuan heard Zhu Rong grumbling.

“We missed this chance; who knows when we’ll finally get rid of the Yao race! We should have acted right then and there! That person is too biased, even suppressing the Heavenly Tribulation Dao fruit. If we hadn’t withdrawn quickly, we might have been discovered!”

However, Di Jiang quickly interrupted, “Enough. Show respect to the saint! This may have been a coincidence. After all, the saint did say it was the Heavenly Dao’s completion that brought about the early lecture! And we completed the Heavenly Tribulation Dao ourselves, so there is some plausibility to it! Moreover, we might not have been able to eliminate the Yao race anyway! Donghuang Taiyi has recovered! With the Chaos Bell, even if he solely focused on escaping, it would be challenging for us to stop him.”

Hearing Di Jiang’s words, the Wu Ancestors held back their discontent, albeit begrudgingly. They understood the logic, but the coincidence left them suspicious. Chu Xuan’s earlier words about Hongjun being unreliable constantly echoed in their minds.

At that moment, Gong Gong abruptly turned to Chu Xuan. “Little brother Chu Xuan, what do you think?”

The Wu Ancestors all looked to Chu Xuan. They clearly respected Chu Xuan’s wisdom. At this moment, they hoped for Chu Xuan’s guidance. Many Wu Ancestors regretted not approving Chu Xuan’s “annihilation plan” earlier.

Chu Xuan, meeting the intense gazes of the Wu Ancestors and hearing his newly solidified title, sighed but still agreed with Di Jiang.

“Master Di Jiang is right. Even if the lecture hadn’t interrupted us, we might not have been able to detain the other party! The Wu race is not yet strong enough!”

Hearing Chu Xuan, the Wu Ancestors sighed as well.

Only a few of them looked at Chu Xuan with a flicker of thought, sensing that this Wu race strategist was not so simple. And almost as expected, as the Wu Ancestors sank into disappointment, Chu Xuan suddenly shifted his tone.

“But…”

The Wu Ancestors’ eyes lit up.

“I refuse to believe this was a mere coincidence! Indeed, with this event, I am nearly certain that Hongjun is specifically targeting the Wu race!”
