Witch Clan warriors, while powerful, could only turn to ashes in front of Yu Yuan.

After dealing with these barbaric and strong Witch Clan warriors, Yu Yuan landed on the ground, surveyed the area with a sweep of his gaze, and saw that men, women, the elderly, and children of the Human Race tribe had stopped fleeing and were standing in the distance, shaking and staring straight over here, not daring to come closer to him.

Seeing their timid expressions, Yu Yuan cracked a smile and softly said, "You have nothing to worry about. I was merely passing by."

A robust and towering man from among the Human Race stepped forward, approaching rapidly without daring even to breath loudly, his face showing utmost respect as he clasped his hands and bowed, "Thank you, Immortal, for saving our lives. My name is Shan Ze, and I am the leader of this local Human Race tribe."

"Today, for some unknown reason, our tribe was attacked by the Witch Clan. Fortunately, we were lucky to be rescued by the Immortal! This time, we really have to thank the Immortal for taking action and saving our entire tribe, over three thousand men, women, and children!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the Human Race men, women, the elderly, and children who were still watching and shouted, "What are you standing around for, not coming to thank the Immortal!"

Some quick-reacting youngsters immediately kneeled down and called out loudly:

"Thank you, Immortal, for saving our lives!"

"Thank you, Immortal, for saving us all!"

"..."

Yu Yuan shook his head and, with a gentle wave of his hand, a formless strength lifted everyone up.

He then spoke indifferently, "It was just a simple effort; no need for such actions."

"To the Immortal with vast divine powers, it naturally feels easy."

The leader, Shan Ze, hastily waved his hands and said, "But for us, those Witch Clan warriors are extremely formidable! If it was not for your timely help just now, I fear our entire tribe would have been slaughtered.

You truly are our great savior who saved us all!"

Yu Yuan chuckled, "My connections with the Human Race run deep. Since I've come upon this, naturally, I couldn't stand by idly."

"Still, we thank you."

Upon hearing that he had deep ties with the Human Race, Shan Ze, the leader, was overjoyed and immediately began to pay great respects again, with the men, women, the elderly, and children by his side all kneeling down and repeatedly thanking the Immortal for his great virtue.

Yu Yuan casually pointed, bidding them to stand up, and said lightly, "I still have matters to attend to and must leave. You should also find a hidden place to take refuge."

Leader Shan Ze quickly tried to persuade him to stay, earnestly saying, "Could the Immortal please stay for a few more days? We would like to properly repay you."

Yu Yuan shook his head and replied lightly, "There's no need for that. I have other matters, and staying here would actually be unwise."

"This..."

Leader Shan Ze hesitated for a moment, then with clenched teeth said, "Immortal, our tribe is no longer safe. The days ahead will surely not be easy.

How about this: Could you please stay temporarily in our tribe? Our entire tribe is willing to provide for you. If any danger comes, you would only need to protect the elderly and children of our tribe..."

Hearing this, Yu Yuan already understood his request and said indifferently, "I have important matters and must leave immediately. The upcoming period will indeed be fraught with danger for the Human Race. It's best for you to find a secret place to hide.

Additionally, I can teach you the Immortal Path.

If you manage to cultivate the Immortal Path, you can also protect yourselves."

Leader Shan Ze was momentarily stunned. After realizing the significance, joy filled his face, and he knelt down immediately, kowtowing and saying, "Thank you, Immortal, for imparting your techniques!"

The surrounding members of the tribe, both men and women, the elderly, and children also bowed down in reverence.

This time, Yu Yuan didn't ask them to stand up but slowly recited an incantation.

"The Great Dao is uncluttered, only the Quiet Method prevails. A tranquil body generates yang, a tranquil heart gives rise to wisdom, tranquil qi brings forth spirit, and a tranquil spirit nurtures essence... Today, I shall impart to you the Upper Pure Ascension Technique."

The Upper Pure Ascension Technique is the most fundamental magic of the Upper Pure lineage, perfectly suitable for beginners.

Master this technique, and one can transform and ascend to the Immortal Path.

The leader of the Jie Sect, Tongtian, who founded the sect, believed in teaching without discrimination. As long as others wished to learn, he was willing to share everything he knew without reservation.

What they achieve from thereon depends on their personal destiny.

At this moment, Yu Yuan was also following the way of the Jie Sect, imparting to these people a method to seize a glimmer of hope of survival. Whether they could survive the great calamity and successfully ascend to become Immortals depended on their individual fate.

After all, he was only a Quasi-Saint, unable to save everyone!

No, even if he became a Saint, he would not be able to save everyone!

Life and death are predestined!

In this Primordial Heaven and Earth, countless creatures perish every moment. He can't make everyone immortal; that would be against the order of the Heavenly Dao!

He could only do what was right before him.

So after thoroughly explaining the Upper Pure Ascension Technique, he then rose on a cloud and departed straight away.

"Respectful farewell to the Immortal!"

Leader Shan Ze hastily paid respects, his face filled with excitement.

With this Immortal Technique, among their tribe of over three thousand, wouldn't at least a couple of Immortals emerge?

In time, with Immortals to protect them, their tribe would surely become the most powerful within a thousand miles!

Yu Yuan naturally didn't know his thoughts.

Of course, even if he did, it wouldn't matter to him.

Right now, he was already tens of thousands of miles away.

Along the way, he observed large numbers of Witch Clan warriors and Demon Clan Heavenly Soldiers and Generals charging into various Human Race tribes, mercilessly slaughtering without restraint.

Limbless torsos, flesh and blood flying in disarray.

Countless Human Race men, women, elderly, and children, all collapsed in pools of blood.

The thick aura of blood and evil Qi was so oppressive that even Yu Yuan found it somewhat unbearable.

And the Witch Demon warriors were casting spells to extract essence blood from the corpses, the entire scene glaring and unsightly, making one sick at the sight.

"Murderers, die!"

Yu Yuan snorted coldly, a long sword materializing in his hand. Casually brandishing it, a rainbow light of ten thousand miles burst forth, tearing through the sky!

The next moment, a miles-long streak of Sword Qi split the void, ruthlessly slamming into the burly body of a Witch Clan warrior with the most formidable aura.

Boom!

The body of the Witch Clan warrior was directly shattered by the Sword Qi, the blood mist splashing apart.

A dozen Witch warriors nearby were also struck by Yu Yuan's Sword Qi, instantly turned to ashes and vanishing in a light breeze.

Although Yu Yuan didn't specialize in Sword Dao, with his Dao Xing, a simple unleashing of a sword light was enough to cut down any Immortal God below the Daluo level.

With this strike, the remaining Witch warriors bravely rushed forward.

Yu Yuan sneered in his heart, Sword Qi crisscrossing between Heaven and Earth.

In but a moment, not a single Witch was left alive within a thousand miles; the ground already stained red by human corpses turned even deeper in hue.

Nonetheless, this did nothing to change the fact that the Human Race here had been massacred to extinction.

Yu Yuan cast a glance and then continued moving forward.

In the journey that followed, he took action several times, slaying many warriors of both Witch and Demon Clans, also saving some remaining Human Race men, women, elderly, and children.

For these humans, he also hid them and imparted the Upper Pure Ascension Technique, then hurriedly left.

Onward he went, until dusk fell, he came to a sizable Human Race settlement.

But by that time, there was not a soul left.

However, one could see plenty of fresh bloodstains and the bodies that had suffered massacre.

A chilly gleam flashed through Yu Yuan's eyes, he snorted coldly and his figure instantly disappeared into the void.

When he reappeared, he was already standing above a valley hundreds of miles away.

Now that night had fallen, a few stars twinkled in the sky.

Under the moonlight, the land was silent.

A group of young Human Race men and women hastily made their way through the valley.

These were the chosen youths of their tribes, robust and strong, having left their settlement in a rush before danger descended, upon hearing the bad news from a neighboring tribe.

They bore the tremendous mission of surviving under threatening conditions and continuing to propagate their people!

When facing great peril, nothing was more important than their race's continuation.

But at this moment, these youths had not yet escaped danger!

Yu Yuan clearly saw, in the direction from which they had come, a small squad of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals swiftly riding dark clouds toward them, clearly having discovered this group of Humans.

Shortly after.

Hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals from the Demon Clan Heavenly Court arrived on clouds, who, while still in mid-air, cheerfully brandished their weapons, ready to slay all the Human Race males and females below.

Yu Yuan squinted slightly, just as he was about to intervene, he saw above the panicking group of Human youngsters, suddenly a plain-faced young Daoist appeared, dressed in a wide Daoist robe.

He looked at those approaching Heavenly Soldiers and Generals expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "These humans are under my protection; retreat immediately, or..."

He was interrupted before finishing, as the restless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals impatiently wielded their weapons and dove down.

In an instant, a Tai Chi Diagram with black and white colors emerged above the young Daoist's head, emitting righteous golden light, forming a massive barrier that protected everyone underneath.

In his right hand, he held a red Big Flag, giving it just a slight wave at the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and instantly, countless flames ignited from within their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were burnt to ashes.

"Tai Chi Diagram!"

"Earth Leaving Flame Light Flag!"

Witnessing this scene from afar, Yu Yuan immediately recognized who the unremarkable young Daoist was.

Sure enough, having dealt with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the young Daoist looked at the frightened Human civilians below and said, "I am Xuan Du, the first ancestor of the Human Race! I come by the orders of my teacher, the Taiching Saint, to lead you to the sacred land of Shouyang Mountain for the Human Race. Make haste, and do not delay."

Hearing him claim to be the first ancestor of the Human Race, the group from the settlement curiously scrutinized him a bit before they calmed down slightly, though they were still somewhat fearful.

Someone said with trepidation, "Shouyang Mountain is a very long distance from us, we had left our tribe in such a hurry that we did not bring enough provisions. If we migrate directly like this, I'm afraid we all will starve on the way."

Xuan Du nodded and said earnestly, "You need not worry about these matters. Shortly, I will open a gate here to Shouyang Mountain. Just pass through it, and you'll arrive directly at Shouyang Mountain... Our Human Race is currently facing a crisis, not only your tribe has been attacked by the Demon Clan... I still need to go elsewhere, so please act quickly."

During his speech, he already sanctified the Tai Chi Diagram above his head.

The Tai Chi Diagram suddenly emitted five-colored glows and then condensed a Light Gate wide enough to accommodate a dozen people on the ground, beckoning the Human Race men and women to pass through quickly.
