Seeing that the two little fellows revealed an extremely interested expression, Daoist Wukong also smiled. Then, a trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and he finally began to tell his story.
It was unknown how many years ago, in the Immortal Martial Continent at that time, there was still no current cultivation system. Almost everyone lived a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and the status of humans was the lowest among all the races.
Later, there was an extremely talented human, and after a long period of time, he finally found a way to allow humans to cultivate.
That great person did not choose to hide it, and instead, he selflessly imparted this method, allowing all those who had a talent for cultivation to begin to reveal their own brilliance.
At that time, the overlord of the continent belonged to the demon race, because they were born with extremely powerful strength. Humans and other races were only slaves of the demon race at that time.
A single spark could start a prairie fire. Since humans already possessed the power to cultivate, and the speed at which they turned hostile was also extremely fast, after a period of time, humans who had the power to resist could no longer endure the life of being enslaved. So, under the leadership of that great person, they launched a great decisive battle against the demon race.
During that period, many extremely powerful warriors emerged. They did not have the exquisite techniques of the current divine abilities. Relying on their hot-bloodedness and crude divine abilities, they began to carry out one campaign after another.
Countless predecessors shed their blood, and together with hundreds of other races, they got rid of their status as slaves. However, the demon race at that time was really too powerful. Even so, they still had to bow down to the demon race in name.
What was even more unbelievable was that humans and many other races even had to carry out regular sacrifices, which were to select some humans with a deep talent for cultivation, and then offer them as food for the demon race.
In order to obtain a breather for their race, humans had no choice but to agree to these two extremely humiliating treaties. After another hundred years, humans, who had been secretly accumulating strength, finally possessed extremely powerful strength. That great person even created one realm after another, causing the strength of humans to become unprecedentedly powerful.
At that time, a group of extremely powerful humans emerged, and they closely followed behind the great person, formulating all kinds of strategies. After planning for a long time, they finally decided to launch an all-out attack against the demon race.
However, in this world, no matter which race it was, there would always be some people who had their hearts set on the outside world. This was the so-called deep-seated servility.
They were not optimistic about this battle of the humans. In order to protect themselves, they secretly revealed some of the details of the plan to the Demon Clan. Just before the Great Man decided to launch the decisive battle, the Demon Clan led several of their top experts and launched an assassination on the higher-ups of the humans.
With the cooperation from both inside and outside, the humans suffered heavy losses in that battle, and it was unknown how many supreme beings died with hatred.
As for the great man, he was seriously injured. Under the special care of the Demon Clan, the great man was unwilling to give up his body. As if he was indomitable, he wanted to hold up a blue sky for the entire Human Clan.
Through the continuous efforts of the great man, the cultivation realm at that time had become very perfect. Although there were still some flaws in some details, the general framework of cultivation had been built.
As the pioneer of the cultivation system, the great man's strength was, of course, the most powerful existence among the humans. At that time, he had already reached the Creation realm, and he was also followed by a group of supreme beings at the ninth level of the Universe realm. Even in today's era, it was still an extremely huge force.
However, unexpectedly, the Demon Clan did not stay idle. As time passed, some spies among the humans also secretly offered the cultivation method to the Demon Clan. After the Demon Clan's research, they found that the human body was more suitable to understand the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the supreme beings of the Demon Clan also deduced a method to transform into human form.
They also carried out a certain degree of improvement on the basis of the human cultivation method, so that the Demon Clan also had a cultivation system. They no longer had to passively absorb the spiritual power between the heaven and earth, causing their strength to increase extremely slowly.
Under such circumstances, with the incomparably powerful strength that they were born with, as well as their understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the defeat of the humans was also a reasonable thing.
Under the cover of the supreme beings under his command, the great man finally broke out of the encirclement. However, at that time, he was seriously injured and knew that he was unable to change the current situation of the humans. Therefore, during the last period of his life, he chose ten young men and women with the most outstanding talents.
After a period of careful guidance, these young men and women did not let the great man down. Every one of their cultivation realms was extremely rapid, and no one in the entire human race could surpass them in terms of their comprehension of the laws of the world.
At the moment of his death, the great man even dazzled the eyes of his ten disciples, and he used his own life as the price to teach these young men and women one last lesson about the evolution of the entire Great Dao.
"Soon, I will completely lose you. At that time, if I want to change the fate of the humans, I will need to rely on you. I hope that you will not disappoint me." At the last moment of his life, the great man made a request to his disciples.
He made the ten young men and women swear a heavenly oath to protect the safety of the entire continent with their lives. Even if their cultivation could break through the restraints of the world in the future, someone must choose to stay on the continent and silently protect the humans.
The great man finally passed away, and the entire human race fell into a state of grief. Naturally, they became even more diligent in their cultivation.
Back then, the Demon Clan was afraid that the humans would rise up again, so they used all sorts of methods to suppress the human race, so that they did not have time to cultivate.
During the day, the humans had to carry out extremely difficult chores, and only at night would they have a sliver of free time to cultivate. The ten young men and women endured the humiliation, and after another half a cycle of sixty years, they felt that they had reached the strength of the great man back then. Only then did they resolutely launch a great counterattack.
This time, the Human Clan had achieved an unprecedented victory. The entire clan rejoiced. After the defeat of the Demon Clan, they still retained an extremely powerful force. In order to ensure the eternal peace of the continent, the young men and women once again made an agreement.
"When Master left back then, he warned us that no matter what level of cultivation we reach in the future, someone must choose to stay behind to protect the safety of the continent. I thought about it. With our current cultivation, no one is a match for us, but there's still an unreachable distance to breaking through the restraints of the space. Why don't we take this opportunity to temporarily decide on the people who need to stay, in case we disagree when the time comes?" The new leader of the human race was also the oldest among the ten young men and women. He said the same to the other nine, and they all agreed.
However, deciding on the people was an extremely difficult matter. No one could say for sure what the situation would be like in the future. If there really was someone who could reach the point of breaking through the restraints of the space, they would definitely not be willing to stay on the continent forever.
In order to find a suitable method, the ten young men and women used their extremely powerful magic power and finally came up with a solution. The first person to break through could leave the world, and only the two weakest would be left behind.
After an unknown amount of time, most of the ten young men and women had a certain level of achievement in the five elemental spiritual power. Among them, the five strongest could even imprint their power in their bloodline and pass it down from generation to generation.
However, if they really did that, it would cause irrecoverable damage to their cultivation. Because the power that could be imprinted in their bloodline to be passed down would inevitably consume their life force.
However, since they could easily break through the restraints of the space, they were too eager for the outside world. Therefore, they did not hesitate and made this choice.
However, the most surprising thing was that the strongest leader had not broken through. According to his talent, this was something that should not have happened.
Moreover, the leader had never married in his life. After the other brothers and sisters left the continent one by one, the person named Xian Wu finally found the last brother who had broken through and told him a shocking truth.
"Actually, when I said those words to you back then, I had already broken through to the Dao Comprehending Realm. However, I know that you all yearn for a higher sky and want to soar to your heart's content like an eagle. I am older than all of you, so naturally, I cannot leave all the responsibility to you. Therefore, I have been hiding my cultivation, waiting for you to break through. "The leader sighed to his brothers.
"The ten of us have broken through to the Dao Comprehending Realm, and there are many experts in the Manifestation Realm now. In the future, I am afraid that there will be more and more people who can reach this level. However, once people become strong, they will inevitably have all kinds of ambitions. Right now, the human race is already strong enough. I am very afraid that there will be internal strife in the future. Everyone will divide and rule. If that happens, the entire world will undoubtedly fall into chaos again. "The leader's eyes were filled with deep worry.
The youngest Dao Comprehending realm cultivator comforted the leader. "Big Brother," he said, "the two of us are strong enough. Even if someone breaks through to the Martial Dao realm in the future, they'll be our disciples. There's no way they'll have such rebellious thoughts. Don't worry."
Unexpectedly, the leader shook his head and patted his brother's shoulder. "Over the years, we humans have occupied the most favorable territory, and the development of our race has been extremely rapid. But you must know that the Demon Race has occupied this world for a much longer time than we have. They must have their own foundation. What I fear is the future. Once people like you and I appear in the Demon Race, they will definitely choose to make a comeback. At that time, even if the Human Race still has the power to suppress them, it will still be a great blow to their strength."
The youngest Dao Comprehending Realm expert was also filled with doubt. He did not know what to do.
At that moment, the leader of the human race revealed a secret that shocked him. He even felt that his big brother was a little too crazy.
