In Qiong Xiao Tian, Dan Yi sat on the golden lotus and was refining the instrument in his hand. Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt something strange. He looked over and saw a ball of weak spiritual light coming from the Primordial Sea of the void. It entered Bu Xu Tian and landed in the direction of Kun Shi Continent.
With a little calculation, he knew where it came from. However, he did not go forward to stop it. He looked at the place where it landed and used his spirit to transmit a message to Zhang Yan and the others, "Now that all the forces have entered the battlefield, the karma is even more entangled. The day when the Return of Zhou Yuan Jade appears is definitely not far away."
Michito Ichito said, "The demons will not sit and watch the rise of the human dao. They might obstruct us. With the karmic entanglement, there will be a great calamity. This will be the first battle under the third era of the human dao. If we can get through it, there will be great retribution."
Fu Qingming said, "The human dao may look strong now, but it is not unified yet. It is but a plate of loose sand. We can support a suitable tribe to be the orthodox of the human dao. This way, we can unite all the tribes and gather our strength in one place."
Dan Yi waved his sleeves and the human dao territory appeared in his spirit. He pointed at a settlement of a million people and said, "Fellow Daoists, please take a look. This is the Jade Tribe. They are the last among the five tribes of the human dao. They have the least number of soldiers and armor, but they are united. After a few years, there will be the appearance of King's Qi."
The five most prosperous tribes of the human dao had more or less relied on the blessings of the gods in the process of their rise. Most of them had gradually become reliant on the gods and even viewed themselves as the sons of the gods. Even though the Zhi clan had tried many times to dilute this, it was useless. This was because the influence and help they had received was real. Moreover, without the gods, these tribes would indeed be unable to resist the special techniques and divine abilities of the beasts.
However, the Jade Tribe was different. It was the only tribe that did not worship gods and only believed in the weapons and armor in their hands. This was because the earliest Zhi Tribe was one of the predecessors of the Jade Tribe. The Zhi Tribe occupied a certain number of the upper echelons and only worshipped the heaven and earth and the four Dao Lords.
However, there was another very important reason. Under the old site of the Jade Clan, there was a pile of broken jade that had been passed down since ancient times. Through a certain ceremony, the tribal Maguspriests could absorb some magical power from it. Therefore, before they received the help of the Gods, they had always been able to fight against the non-humankind without falling into a disadvantageous position. The arrival of the Gods was just icing on the cake, so they naturally would not blindly worship them.
At this moment, Zhang Yan circulated his transcendence energy and used his spirit to observe. He saw that in the next ten years, the tribes of the human path were about to launch their first internal strife. Although there would be many casualties, in the long run, there would be benefits. Because when faced with the counterattack of the beasts, if they didn't unite all their internal forces, it would be extremely difficult to resist. It was even possible that they would collapse and return to the previous situation of scattered tribes.
The Jade Tribe had the greatest potential. Not only did they agree with the rules of the tribe, they would also produce the King's Qi in the next few years.
However, there was also a sense of instability in this.
As the Jade Tribe rarely asked for the help of gods, not only was the relationship between them not harmonious, but they were also estranged. This was completely different from the other tribes. They might be treated as enemies by the other tribes. If they could not hold on, they might be destroyed.
He pondered for a while and said, "The future is ever-changing. In the next ten years, the demons and beasts with supernatural powers will be able to see the signs. They will definitely take measures to prevent the Human Lord from descending into the world. We need to be prepared."
Dan Yi thought about it and nodded his head in agreement. Without any external help, the Jade Tribe would have a high chance of defeating the other tribes with the Zhi Tribe's schemes. However, if there were demons and monsters secretly interfering, then it would be hard to say.
He pondered and said, "It is not the right time yet. If we send cultivators down, we will be forming karma early and it will not be beneficial in the long run."
He had calculated the future repeatedly. The most suitable time for cultivators was to wait for the Human Lord to unify the tribes. Although it was not far away, it would be at most a hundred years. However, before that, it was not appropriate for them to make a move.
Michihito Ichito said, "This is simple. We just need to give them this tribe's instrument to protect them. If this tribe cannot survive, the other tribes will also have people born in the next hundred years. When that time comes, we can just choose another Human Lord."
Dan Yi said, "That's good too."
Zhang Yan and Fu Qingming had no objections.
After the four of them came to a decision, they acted according to the plan.
However, as Almighty Cultivators of True Yang, they naturally wouldn't directly bestow magic tools. The karma involved was too great, and it wasn't something a mere tribe could bear at this moment. Thus, they still imparted the sacrificial refining method to the Zhi Clan members in their dreams, allowing them to construct the magic tools themselves.
As the tribes of the Human Path gradually recovered, the tribes that were defeated by the beasts and even the humanoid tribes were also changing.
The Zhe Tribe was a tribe of beasts located in the west of the Human Path. Since the second era, they had been oppressing the Human Path tribes. However, with the arrival of the hundred thousand outer gods, the Human Path's power increased greatly. There were hundreds of large-scale battles between the two, and most of them ended in the defeat of the Zhe Tribe. They had no choice but to migrate to the west and finally settled down in a barren basin.
One day, when a tribe soldier was chasing after a giant monster, he found a white cauldron that was half the height of a human. It was as heavy as ten thousand catties. Because the tribe lacked gold and iron, they presented it to the tribe.
After receiving the object, Division Leader Zhe Gu consulted the tribe's priests. Because he felt that it contained a kind of Weili energy, he believed that it was a gift from the heavens. Therefore, he placed it on the altar and worshipped it day and night.
The object was affected by Qi and slowly changed. After a few months, it finally changed. A monster with the body of a spider and the face of a human emerged from it. It was very similar to the god that the Zhe Gu Tribe had imagined. Moreover, it possessed Weili magic as soon as it was born. In the decades that followed, as the tribe worshipped it more devoutly, the god's power also grew stronger.
If someone were to look from above, they would see that not only the Zhe Gu Tribe, but the surrounding tribes that had been defeated by the Human Path tribes or had nothing to do with the Human Path tribes had also given birth to native gods under the influence of various external forces and karma.
In a desert in the southwest stood the ruins of a stone city. Yuanzhen stood on a broken pillar, frowning as he looked at a few inscriptions.
This was the thirtieth year since he came to the Kun Shi Continent.
During the first era, countless cultivators had settled in the Kun Shi Continent. Not to mention the prosperous spirit, it was full of beautiful mountains and clear waters. The scenery was charming and gentle, like a paradise on earth. But now, it was a barren landscape, and there were strange and ferocious creatures everywhere. Even he did not dare to provoke some of them. Therefore, it took him ten years to find this place that Cheng Changzi had left behind.
However, even though he had used the talisman that Deng Zhang had given him, he was still unable to enter.
While he was racking his brains, he suddenly heard a rumbling noise. He leaped up to the clouds and looked toward the direction of the noise. He saw a hundreds of feet tall giant walking on the wasteland barefoot. His upper body was naked, and his waist was wrapped with monster fur. He carried a rough wooden stick on his shoulder, but his eyes showed a bit of intelligence. It was obvious that he was different from those barbarians.
As soon as he appeared, the giant also felt it. He looked up at the sky, then put down the wooden stick and shouted, "Which Maguspriest is up there?"
Yuanzhen was quite surprised. Since the giant was polite and could speak, he naturally could not see him as a beast. As for mistaking him for a Maguspriest, it was not surprising. Other than those demons and spirits that were born with magical powers, most of the people in the tribes who had magical powers were of this generation.
He cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Yuan, and I am a Qi practitioner here. How should I address you? And why are you here? "
The giant said respectfully, "So you are a Dharma Master, please forgive me. My name is Zhang Sheng, and I used to be a giant monster in the mountains. It was only because I heard a strange person in the southwest that I was enlightened by the 'Origin of Earth Scripture'. Now that I heard that the tribes in the east are recruiting people with magical powers and offering blood for cultivation, I want to seek shelter there."
"Origin of Earth Scripture?"
Yuanzhen was startled. As far as he knew, because humanity had not yet flourished, the Compassion Sect had not begun to preach. As for whether the giant had obtained the inheritance of an ancient sect, it was impossible. If he did not know the Eroded Runes, how could he have learned it?
He asked a few more questions and carefully examined the giant's Qi. He could tell that the 'Origin of Earth Scripture' that the giant had learned was most likely derived from the 'Fundamental Upper Form Scripture' of the Connate Demons. Even his speech and mannerisms were similar to that of a Taoist cultivator.
He thought that if he continued to wait here, he would not know how long it would take for him to get an answer. This was an opportunity. Why not follow the instructions of the two Dao Masters and try to find a way to ask those foreign gods who disturbed the mysteries of heaven? Thinking of this, he pretended to be very interested and said, "Oh, there's still such a thing. I wonder if I can go with you?"
Zhang Sheng said straightforwardly, "I'm going to cross the desert alone. I want to meet many demons and monsters that have not yet gained intelligence. It would be best if Dharma Master Yuan is willing to go with me."
Yuanzhen was amused. This person was also a giant monster. Now that he had learned Taoist techniques, he regarded his own kind as beasts. At the same time, he was secretly vigilant. There were countless different species in the world. If the Connate Demons could be enlightened by the Fundamental Scripture, there would be many variables in the future. It was best to eliminate them as soon as possible.
He first excused himself and spent an hour to leave a Shifting Spell Altar here. Then, he and Zhang Sheng set off and headed east.
Yuan Zhen had the art of flying, so it was not difficult for him to carry one more person. Moreover, he could avoid the many ferocious creatures on the continent. It only took them a little over a month to arrive at a strange tribe that was recruiting people with extraordinary abilities.
When they arrived, Just Now, they realized that before them, there were many monsters and monsters who had received the teachings and arrived here. Not only that, there were indigenous living beings with supernatural powers who were constantly rushing over. These people either stayed here or went to seek shelter in other tribes.
Yuanzhen could tell that the appetite of these monsters and monsters was not small. It was impossible for these tribes to provide so much blood and food. If there were no accidents, a great war was about to break out. And this time, the target of attack was the tribes of humanity further east.
After the two of them settled down, the tribe entertained them with good food and drinks every day. Yuanzhen also took the opportunity to meet the foreign god that was being worshiped here. It was a monster that was half man and half tiger. Although its Qi dynamic was very messy, it was entrusted to the faith of the people of this tribe. Therefore, as long as the tribe did not perish, it would not be destroyed.
He thought to himself, "This is really a heaven-sent opportunity. If it was during normal times, it would not be good for me to go on a killing spree. This time, I can take advantage of the battle between the two sides to eliminate these foreign gods that are messing with the heavenly secrets!"
