A gentle breeze blew softly.

A bright moon hung above the treetops.

A group of young men and women passed through the Light Gate one after the other, headed for Shouyang Mountain.

As one of the cradles of Human Race civilization and also the preaching ground of the Human Sect Saint, Shouyang Mountain has always been regarded as one of the most important treasures of the Human Race.

For the journey to Shouyang Mountain, these young people of the Human Race, carrying the significant mission to preserve their kind's seed, showed little hesitation or resistance and quickly passed through the Light Gate under the urging of Xuan Du.

During this process, Yu Yuan watched quietly from a distance.

He did not deliberately conceal his presence, merely slightly altering his appearance, so his gaze was soon captured by Xuan Du.

On perceiving him, Xuan Du was slightly startled.

However, he did not say much and only after everyone had left, did he put away the Tai Chi Diagram and looked toward Yu Yuan, bowing in greeting, "Does the Daoist friend have any advice to offer?"

Yu Yuan returned the gesture with a smile, and then spoke frankly, "I just want to ask, why did you bring them all to Shouyang Mountain? Could it be that the Taiching Saint is also at Shouyang Mountain at this moment?"

Observing his demeanor and affirming that he had no hostile intentions, Xuan Du replied softly, "Daoist friend seems to be quite knowledgeable about our Human Race's heritage.

Indeed, Shouyang Mountain is the place where our Human Sect's Sect Hierarch Taiching Saint founded and attained Sainthood—even if the Master is not present at Shouyang Mountain, this place remains a stronghold of our Human Sect, where Witch Demon clans dare not trespass."

Yu Yuan nodded slightly, speaking in a low voice, "You're correct; under normal circumstances, neither the Witch nor Demon clans would dare to intrude upon Shouyang Mountain.

However, concentrating everyone in Shouyang Mountain may not necessarily be a good thing."

Xuan Du's brow furrowed, "What does Daoist friend mean by this?"

Yu Yuan solemnly said, "The Witch Demon clans have now been driven to a frenzy, and under the influence of Calamity Qi, they are capable of anything."

Hearing this, Xuan Du's expression changed slightly.

"Do you mean to say that Shouyang Mountain is also not safe?"

Yu Yuan nodded lightly, speaking earnestly, "For the Human Race, there are no safe places left in this Primordial Heaven and Earth now."

Contemplating this, Xuan Du found the reasoning quite sound.

He could see that Yu Yuan held no ill-will and was very familiar and understanding of the Human Race, clearly having had very close contact with them.

For unknown reasons, the Witch Demon clans were currently mass slaughtering the Human Race to harvest their Essence Blood, making it a time of great vulnerability for the Human Race.

As one of the progenitors of the Human Race, Xuan Du left Daluo Mountain immediately upon receiving the news, traveling among the Human Race tribes, sending survivors to Shouyang Mountain for refuge.

Along the way, he also encountered many Immortal Gods who were close to the Human Race and willing to extend a helping hand in times of crisis.

Under his influence, these Immortal Gods also sent the surviving Humans to Shouyang Mountain.

If, at this time, as the Tian Yuan Daoist in front of him had said, the Witch Demon clans, blind with rage, were to directly invade Shouyang Mountain, an unimaginable tragedy would unfold!

Those of the Human Race who thought they had found safety in being sent to Shouyang Mountain would be met with the claws and bone sticks of the Witch Demon clans...

Thinking of that scene made Xuan Du shudder.

"Thank you, Daoist friend, for the warning."

Xuan Du bowed seriously to Yu Yuan, gratefully saying.

"There's no need for courtesy," replied Yu Yuan with a light smile, "Both you and I are concerned for the safety of the Human Race, there's no need for such formality."

Xuan Du nodded, then continued to ask, "How should I address Daoist friend?"

"Just call me Tian Yuan Daoist."

Yu Yuan casually gave himself a Daoist title.

Xuan Du's gaze flickered slightly before he continued to inquire, "I wonder which Saint's Disciple Daoist friend might be?"

This was his only doubt; after all, in this Primordial world, it was customary for Immortal Gods to respect their lineage.

Yet, someone like Yu Yuan who only reported a Daoist title was a first for him to encounter.

Furthermore, judging by his total lack of Cultivation fluctuation, he was most likely a Daoist of high standing.

As to the extent of the other party's power, he could not quite judge.

In any case, the fact that even he could not discern the background of this Tian Yuan Daoist in front of him indicated that Yu Yuan might very well be a formidable figure, definitely not an unknown entity.

Under Xuan Du's questioning, Yu Yuan vaguely answered, "I am a disciple of Xuanmen, like you, under Jie Sect, you might say."

"Turns out to be a disciple from Jie Sect."

Xuan Du nodded in sudden realization, and a tinge of doubt in his heart was resolved.

The Jie Sect, due to its large and mixed discipleship, traditionally held a mediocre reputation in Primordial times, so many of Jie Sect's disciples preferred not to announce their affiliation when outside.

Xuan Du's mind was at ease, then prepared to hurry back to Shouyang Mountain to inspect the situation.

However, at that moment, a slightly cold voice suddenly sounded, "Daoist friend, hold on."

Xuan Du and Yu Yuan turned their heads together, only to see a breathtaking woman in a green dress standing there.

Dressed sharply and smartly, her skin was fairer than snow, with a slender waist and long legs, and her delicate facial features were striking—especially those bright black eyes that seemed as if they could see through everything.

Yu Yuan recognized her; she was an old acquaintance.

This was Jiutian Xuan Nu from West Kunlun.

Beside her stood several young men and women, each brimming with vigor, their Dao Xing impressive.

Scanning over them, Yu Yuan was astonished to find that these young men and women were all disciples of various Saints and some top Quasi-Saints.
