What Ji Meng said was truly reasonable. Even if the Human Tribe recovered from the Great Calamity, they would still suffer unbearable damage in the war between the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes. Besides, even if the Wu Tribe defeated the Demon Tribe with their help, they could not benefit from it at all. It was much better to stand aside and observe.
Having a dread of the Human Tribe, Emperor Jun itched to cut their throats at once. However, he hesitated to take action because the Wu Tribe had been detecting aside. The Demon Tribe would never have the chance to wipe the Human Tribe out unless Emperor Jun successfully persuaded the Wu Tribe to ally with them or perfectly remain neutral. But could the Wu Tribe agree with that? Absolutely impossible.
Thinking of the Wu Tribe, Emperor Jun involuntarily touched the Wu-killing Sword beside him. The sword was cast out of innumerable Blood of Essence, souls, resentments, and other materials of the Human Tribe. Although it was merely a highest grade Post Celestial Spiritual Treasure, its power exceeded the overwhelming majority of Primordial Spiritual Treasures. The Wu-killing Sword was especially a nemesis to the Wu Tribe.
The Wu Tribe had no Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation and if the Demon Tribe killed the other 11 Ancestors of Sorcery with the Wu-killing Sword, they would obtain victory in the decisive battle with the least cost. Emperor Jun felt excited about the idea. The Lord of Heaven and Earth was at his fingertips. At that time, he would wipe the Human Tribe out as easy as picking his own pocket. Emperor Jun instantly cheered up at that thought.
What a wonderful name the Lord of Heaven and Earth was! Although Emperor Jun was the Lord of the Heavenly Court and held the Luck of the Demon Tribe, his Luck would boom when he became the Lord of Heaven and Earth. He could depend on the Luck and achieve Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of Origin. On the occasion, he was on equal footing with a Sage and would never be insulted anymore.
Unfortunately, while Emperor Jun was imagining a bright future, a blast of great Evil Spirit surged to the sky above Untainted Land. What was this... The fond dream of Emperor Jun was immediately interrupted and he concentrated his attention to detect the origin of the Evil Spirit. However, he was shocked by what he saw: That Evil Spirit originated from the Wu Tribe.
...
Outside the Hall of Pangu of the Wu Tribe, Emperor Jiang and the other 11 Ancestors of Sorcery were looking at the person who made them feel helpless. The person was the Great Sorcerer, Chiyou. Correctly speaking, he was named an Ancestor of Sorcery now. Chiyou absorbed two drops of Houtu"s Blood of Essence. Besides, in order to help Chiyou complete the metamorphosis to an Ancestor of Sorcery, Emperor Jiang and the other 11 Ancestors of Sorcery paid great efforts to gather the Killing Intent of Heaven and Earth together for him. It finally took a long time for Chiyou to rank as an Ancestor of Sorcery successfully.
In the original plan of the Ancestors of Sorcery, Chiyou would rank as an Ancestor of Sorcery on the quiet and unexpected appearance in the final battle between the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes, thus making a surprise attack on the Demon Tribe. But it cost both Bloods of Essence of the Ancestors of Sorcery and a huge amount of Killing Intent of Heaven and Earth to supply the metamorphosis from a Great Sorcerer to an Ancestor of Sorcery.
Emperor Jiang intended to settle Chiyou in the Hall of Pangu. It was rather a treasure than a hall. The Hall of Pangu was inherited from Pangu, and it was regarded as the Sacred Land and the most important treasure of the Wu Tribe. If Chiyou succeeded in upgrading the Ancestors of Sorcery in the Hall of Pangu, he could certainly suppress the Mysterious Sign now.
But something went wrong with the Killing Intent of Heaven and Earth, no matter how the Ancestors of Sorcery aroused them, the Killing Intent of Heaven and Earth had no way to enter the Hall of Pangu. It looked like that Killing Intent of Heaven and Earth resisted entering, or perhaps the Hall of Pangu refused to let it in. The Ancestors of Sorcery had nothing to do but complete the metamorphosis, which should have been done on the sly, outside of the Hall of Pangu now.
The result was obvious. Chi You succeeded in the metamorphosis of an Ancestor of Sorcery but he also caused the riot of the Killing Intent of Heaven and Earth due to the metamorphosis and resulted in the Mysterious Sign, which was shooting up to the sky. The news that one more Ancestor of Sorcery was born in the Wu Tribe was widespread in Untainted Land. All living creatures were terrified by the news and as a matter of course, the Demon Tribe were most terrified.
They originally thought that Ancestor of Sorcery Houtu was trapped in The Nether World and would fail to partic.i.p.ate in the final battle between the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes. Since the Twelve Divine Beings of the Wu Tribe were incomplete, the Demon Tribe could lay aside all anxiety and rest content. However, it was unexpected to everyone that the Wu Tribe reformed another Ancestor of Sorcery. Although he was absolutely incomparable with Ancestor of Sorcery Houtu, the Twelve Divine Beings of the Wu Tribe were completed now and the great Formation could be arranged again. More importantly, the Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu would reappear in Untainted Land. That was the most terrible thing.
Chiyou succeeded in the metamorphosis to an Ancestor of Sorcery and the whole Wu Tribe was a scene of jubilation. They cheered loudly. "Wu! Wu! Wu!" With the yell of the Wu Tribe, the Evil Spirit was swarming between Heaven and Earth. The Wu Tribe"s great will of war suffused the entire Untainted Land. All living creatures in Untainted Land were terrified by it. How horrible the Wu Tribe were!
On second thought, all living creatures in Untainted Land involuntarily took pleasure in others" misfortunes. Although the stronger Wu Tribe would influence them, the most distressed ones must have been the Demon Tribe. In the last war between the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes, the Demon Tribe suffered great damages from the Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu. Now the Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu had the chance to reappear in Untainted Land, the Demon Tribe could not help being concerned.
The Evil Spirit in coacervation around Chiyou dispersed very soon and the Evil Spirit shooting up to the sky disappeared too. The whole Wu Tribe was quiet again. Chi You stood up and clenched his fist, his face was covered with excitement. Strong, too strong, there was a difference of only a single word between a Great Sorcerer and an Ancestor of Sorcery, but it was a difference that could not be described in language.
After achieving the Real Ent.i.ty of the Ancestors of Sorcery, Chiyou jumped from Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to the Secondary Stage of Sage-to-be. The promotion was so great that Chiyou could not control his power well now. But he would constantly adapt it and finally control the power. At that time, his cultivation might progress further.
Seeing Chiyou"s excitement about the power, Emperor Jiang and others were not surprised. They also were excited by great power when they made the breakthrough from Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to Sage-to-be. Even if for ordinary cultivators, there was a far cry between Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and Sage-to-be, not to mention that the Ent.i.ty of the Ancestors of Sorcery was counted as one of the very best superstrong physiques in Untainted Land.
When the excitement calmed down, Chiyou found that the Ancestors of Sorcery were looking at him and smiling, so he immediately made a courtesy call on them and said, "Your Excellencies, I deeply appreciate your help and I"ll try my best to live up to the expectations of Ancestor of Sorcery Houtu. I"ll fight for the Wu Tribe until the last moment and I promise to foster and enhance the Wu Tribe by defeating the Demon Tribe."
Emperor Jiang laughed aloud and said, "Good! Good! Good! But I have something else to tell you, Chiyou. Now you are the 13th Ancestor of Sorcery and you need not use honorific appellations anymore. From now on, you are the 13th younger brother of us Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. Do you agree?"
Chiyou listened and hesitated. "Eh... " No doubt Chiyou wavered, the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery were earliest born and regarded as symbols of the Wu Tribe, all the other people of the Wu Tribe were born to respect them. Either because of their strength or their blood rank, the people of the Wu Tribe had no way to resist them and did not mean to resist them at all.
Chiyou had been respectfully calling them Your Excellencies Ancestors of Sorcery for tens of thousands years, and it was very difficult for him to change all of a sudden. At this time, the hot-tempered Zhurong went forward and gave a blow to the chest of Chiyou. He said, "What"s so hard for you? You"re so womanishly fussy. Don"t forget you"re a man of the Wu Tribe, and you"re already an Ancestor of Sorcery, is it really so hard to become a brother with us?"
Bearing the blow of Zhurong on his chest, Chiyou was dumbfounded. He had been hit by Zhurong before but today was quite different. He unexpectedly felt nothing at all instead of feeling pain or injury. Chiyou subconsciously touched his chest and felt a great power that circled in his body. He finally recognized that he was no longer the Great Sorcerer Chiyou, but the 13th Ancestor of Sorcery of the Wu Tribe, the Ancestor of Sorcery Chiyou.
Convinced at this point, Chiyou laughed aloud and said, "Fine, let me pay a formal visit to my brothers and sisters, and Xuan Ming is also my elder sister now." Chiyou now completely accepted his new status of Ancestor of Sorcery and all the other Ancestors of Sorcery laughed together after seeing this.
Now that the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery were complete, they should immediately practice the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation. Chi You was unfamiliar with this formation, but luckily he had become an Ancestor of Sorcery, so it would not take long to familiarize himself with this formation. The Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation last time was not mature enough and the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery at that time were all insufficient in cultivation. As a result, the formation could not be sustained for a long time.
However, the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery now completely surpa.s.sed their former strength. If they could control the formation more proficiently, they would be able to preserve the Real Ent.i.ty of Pangu for a longer time, and the Wu Tribe would have a greater chance to win.
Houtu was far away from there and trapped in the Nether World, she looked into the distance of the Hall of Pangu with a smile on her face. Chiyou succeeded in the metamorphosis to an Ancestor of Sorcery and she could finally breathe easier now. If the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery failed to lineup the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation together, the Wu Tribe would have no way to defeat the Demon Tribe against the Cosmic Stars Formation.
And the cause of the Great Calamity of the Human Tribe this time was that the Demon Tribe thought of a method to cope with the Ancestors of Sorcery, they refined the Wu-killing Sword with Blood of Essence and souls of the Human Tribe. The sword could break open the Real Ent.i.ty Defense of the Ancestors of Sorcery with one blow. At that time, once the Ancestors of Sorcery died, the morale of the Wu Tribe would be badly damaged, which would be quite terrible.
