Chapter 35: The Establishment of the Wu and Demon Tribe
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Demon Tribe was unable to escape attention in Untainted Land after causing such a huge commotion by moving to Heavenly Court, especially from their nemesis, Wu Tribe. The minute Demon Tribe made their move, the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery was once again gathered in Hall of Pangu to come up with a solution.
The eldest brother Emperor Jiang spoke first. "What do you all think of Demon Tribe"s move to Heavenly Court?" The brainless Zhu Rong said, "The old hags Emperor Jun and the Great One must be scared of our Wu Tribe, or else they wouldn"t have ran away!"
Everyone chose to ignore Zhu Rong"s words. After some thought, Zhu Jiuyin said, "Brother, I think their move has its pro and cons. The pro is that if Demon Tribe moves to Heavenly Court, our tribe can dominate the entire Untainted Land. We can then develop and grow stronger."
The Ancestors of Sorcery agreed with his words, but their expressions became grim when they heard Zhu Jiuyin continue. "When Demon Tribe gathers in the Heavenly Court, their powers will be consolidated. With Emperor Jun"s abilities, it won"t take long to integrate Demon Tribe. What"s more, the Spiritual Air in Heavenly Court is no less than in Untainted Land. Demon Tribe will definitely get much stronger."
Emperor Jiang said, "Do you have solutions, Second Brother?" Zhu Jiuyin answered, "We should take advantage of Demon Tribe"s move and capture their territory immediately. We should leave some of their tribe members alive as a way to hurt their spirit. Besides, it"s also a good chance to put our tribe to practice. We should cultivate our tribesmen with leadership potential and strengthen our fighting capacity."
With Zhu Jiuyin"s plan for countermeasure, Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery all made their preparations to act. The army of Wu Tribe was aimed at Demon Tribe. Wherever they went, victory belonged to them. Emperor Jun and the Great One were caught off guard, having not expected Wu Tribe to launch an attack at this time. They were distracted by their happiness of obtaining Heavenly Court that it was too late for them to even rescue their tribesmen.
Several years later, the number of Demon tribesmen who made it to Heavenly Court did not even make up 100 billion. There were tens of billions of Demon Tribe who were trapped in Untainted Land by Wu Tribe. Many more Sacred Demons died fighting Wu Tribe. Emperor Jun naturally took great offense with this outcome.
But as the leader of Demon Tribe, Emperor Jun would not be impulsive. The strength of his tribe was now not enough to have an outright war with Wu Tribe. They could only swallow this humiliation, concentrate on their recovery, and wait for their tribe to expand their strength before battling Wu Tribe.
Emperor Jun and the Sacred Demons were gathered in the Peak Palace. The Great One was missing as he had devoted all his attention on his cultivation and completely had no mind to partic.i.p.ate in state affairs. Emperor Jun looked at the demoralized Sacred Demons and said, "I know you"re all distressed by our loss this time, but you have to look at it from a long term perspective. Our Demon Tribe has found a good foundation. It"s a good thing. We just have to rest for thousands of years and we"ll be able to surpa.s.s our strength now."
Ji Meng said, "Your Majesty is right. Our Demon Tribe has now taken over Heavenly Court and has the Heaven as our backing. With Heavenly Court as our foundation, we can justify the name of our tribe and declare our dominance in Untainted Land."
Emperor Jun nodded. Their tribe was declared Demon Tribe by themselves and they were not recognized by those in Untainted Land or The Way of Heaven. If they build up their tribe, they could gather all the luck belonging to Demon Tribe, allowing their tribe to develop even more rapidly. Then it would not take long for them to possess the strength to fight Wu Tribe.
Ji Meng"s words alerted Emperor Jun and he took immediate action to pray to the deities. The tribesmen who resided in Heavenly Court were all called. He summoned even The Great One out of his Closed Door Meditation. It would not look proper if the Royal Demon, The Great One, was absent at such a huge event.
When everything was prepared, Emperor Jun lit the incense and prayed. "The Way of Demon, our Demon Tribe has emerged to meet our historic destiny. With Heavenly Court as our foundation and Bell of Chaos, the River Chart, and the Inscription of the Luo to suppress luck, we established Demon Tribe. We pray that The Way of Heaven allow our existence." Emperor Jun kowtowed three times. "Demon Tribe, stand!"
The minute Emperor Jun"s prayers ended, auspicious clouds sprouted all over Heavenly Court, with sky lotuses blossoming everywhere. The lotuses comprised The Way of Heaven and Merit. Half of them belonged to Emperor Jun and The Great One. 30% went to the Sacred Demons that attended the ceremony. The remaining were scattered among the tribesmen from Heavenly Court.
The cultivation of Emperor Jun and The Great One instantly heightened after receiving Merit and helped them consolidate the Early Stage of Sage-to-be realm. It saved them from spending thousands of years of difficult cultivation. Other than consolidating the realm, the rest of the Merit was not enough for them to enter the Secondary Stage of Sage-to-be, but it was enough for future use.
The Sacred Demons that gained Merit also experience increased cultivations, especially the ten Sacred Demon like Ji Meng. In the first place, they were already in end stages of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and one step away from the realm of Sage-to-be. With the Merit of forming their tribe, their cultivation surged and they successfully entered the Sage-to-be realm.
The commotion in Demon Tribe, especially Emperor Jun"s loud cry at the prayers, resounded throughout Untainted Land. To the creatures of the land, it reminded them of the establishment of The Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin.
With the formation of Demon Tribe, Wu Tribe naturally did not fall behind. Outside the Hall of Pangu, Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery prayed to the deities. "The Way of Dao above, please look after us. Our Wu Tribe are gathered here today with Untainted Land as our foundation and Hall of Pangu suppressing luck. Wu Tribe, stand!"
The Way of Heaven once again rained down Merit, raising the cultivations of Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. Although they did not practice their Purusa, their flesh cultivations were no less than Sage-to-be. Moreover, Wu Tribe only respected Pangu and could not care less about The Way of Heaven. So they only prayed to The Way of Dao.
Creatures of Untainted Land were surprised with the establishment of Sorcerer and Demon tribes one after another. Just by forming their tribes, they were able to gain such great Merit. It was obvious that both tribes would be favored with long-lasting Luck in the future. It was less than The Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin when they were formed, perhaps even beyond them.
After the formation of their tribes, their luck surged. Luck was the root of each tribe. The stronger their Luck was, the more talented people there were. Their cultivations would also be more successful. Sorcerer and Demon Tribes seemed to have reached an agreement. With the heaven and earth as their boundaries, Demon Tribe controlled heaven while Wu Tribe controlled earth. There were not many conflicts between them at the moment.
...
Nearly three thousand years later, Ming He had finally ended his Closed Door Meditation. His cultivation got a successful Breakthrough. It was not his flesh cultivation that made it to the Late Stage of Sage-to-be, but also his Purusa. After all, good things come in pairs. But Ming He had clearly found his shortcomings in his cultivation.
In his Closed Door Meditation, he only understood half of the Law of Blood and Law of Killing among the four Divine Law. As for the Law of Spiritual Beings and the Law of Heaven and Earth, he completely had no time for them. It seemed like it was necessary to separate his being.
However, the second preaching of Ancestor Hong Jun was imminent. The Way of the Three Separations was within reach. After the Separation, he would be able to double his speed of learning the Divine Law. When that time comes, Ming He"s strength would definitely increase substantially.
After ending his Closed Door Meditation, Ming He summoned Liu Er and Chi Xuan and taught them The Way of Zenith Heaven. They had been stuck in Primordial Unity Golden Immortal for thousand years. With their strong foundation, they were only one step away from reaching Zenith Heaven. With Ming He"s preaching, to reach that stage was only a matter of course for them.
After only three months of preaching, Liu Er and Chi Xuan gained the Breakthrough to Zenith Heaven stage one by one. Seeing their success, Ming He made them do Closed Door Meditation to consolidate their realms. It was also time for Ancestor Hong Jun"s second preaching. Ming He ought to prepare well. This time, he was especially excited for The Way of the Three Separations.
Most from Zixiao Palace came to finish like Ming He one after another. If missing the teaching by Ancestor Hong Jun, it was not worthy. It was just surname homiletics last time, the whole people didn"t harvest too much, but now Sage-to-be was the most necessary thing for getting realm of Zenith Heaven golden Immortal.
