Chapter 87: The Spiritual Inheritance of the Human Tribe
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Musen had never thought that he would unexpectedly find the later Ashram of Laozi and also get the Kongtong Seal. Fortunately, Laozi had not yet become a Sage, or else Musen would not have gotten the Kongtong Seal.
In fact, it wouldn"t be a good thing for the Human Tribe if Laozi had gotten this treasure. If the Three Royals and Five Emperors were t.i.tled by Laozi, the Luck of the Human Tribe would be carved up by all of the religions previously set by Sages. According to an ancient myth of China, the Three Royals and Five Emperors would later be locked in Ancestor Hongyun"s Fire-cloud Cave, to suppress the increasing Luck of Human Tribe.
While thinking about this, Musen wore a grim look. In his mind, Musen had always been trying to enhance his Human Tribe, so that they wouldn"t be under the control of the Sages. Therefore, he knew that his Human Tribe must have enough power to defend themselves against their enemies, without relying on the Sages.
That meant there must be a cultivator in the Human Tribe who could match a Sage, and it was Musen"s goal to become that one. However, reaching the stage of Origin was not that easy. After a long-term cultivation, only Red Lotus Taoist, the Evil Separation of Minghe, had reached the stage of the Origin, while Minghe himself was still acc.u.mulating his force.
Besides, the relationship between them could not be exposed temporarily, which meant that Minghe could not support Musen directly and Musen could only rely on himself to enhance his power. Fortunately, Musen"s Original Spirit was at the Peak Level of Sage-to-be since he was the Selfcentric Separation of Minghe. What he needed was to focus on enlightening the supernatural power and the Divine Laws.
Musen didn"t care much about his supernatural power since he was a cultivator of Martial Arts. Therefore, if he was willing to improve his strength, he only needed to focus on his enlightenment of the Law of Martial Arts. Besides, the Taoist character "Wu", which was full of the intense power of the Law of Martial Arts, would be a great help. He even suspected that the Taoist character was entirely converted from the Law of Martial Arts, otherwise, his Enlightenment of the Law of Martial Arts would not be smooth.
Hiding away the platform made of Bra.s.s in Mount Shou, Musen started his journey back to the Coast of the East Sea. This time, he planned a Closed Door Meditation after completing the arrangements for the Spiritual Inheritance of the Human Tribe. He knew that Cultivation Tribulation of the Human Tribe would come soon, so he needed to make great progress on his cultivation during the reducing time.
After a while, Musen arrived at the sacred land of Human Tribe, the Coast of the East Sea, which was totally different from where he used to live. This land had already been built with some sort of scale, with martial cultivators everywhere. Noticing Musen step down from the clouds, all of these cultivators bowed to him and showed their respect. Musen, as the martial ancestor of Human Tribe, he owned the highest reputation in the Human Tribe, and even G.o.ddess Nvywa couldn"t match him.
Hearing the message that Musen was back, Suiren-Shi, Youchao-Shi, and Ziyi-Shi gathered. They were all surprised that they couldn"t feel any vital force from Musen, which meant that his cultivation had broken through to a higher stage. The three were also martial cultivators so they understood how difficult the cultivation of Martial Arts was.
Thinking about this, Suiren-Shi said excitedly, "Musen, my little brother, have you broken into the stage of Fate Reading?" Hearing his words, Youchao-Shi, Ziyi-Shi, and all the other cultivators around were shocked. Within such a short time, there was a martial cultivator breaking into the stage of Fate Reading, the similar stage of Sage-to-be in the Way of Celestial Immortality.
Except for the Sorcerer and Demon Tribes, and the masters, like the Three Pure Ones, few Sages-to-be were left in Untainted Land since Minghe had killed most of them. If Musen could become a martial cultivator at the stage of Fate Reading, the Human Tribe would have a higher position in the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land. Actually, no one would break into the stage of Fate Reading within only a thousand years in this land, same for the Sages-to-be.
Musen nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "During my tour this time, I met some Fated Chances and improved my cultivation. However, I hope that everyone here can keep it a secret. We"re not strong enough, so we still need to be low-key in the case that our strong enemies are keeping an eye on us."
Hearing Musen"s words, the three Ancestors of Human Tribe nodded to agree. As Musen had said, the Human Tribe was not strong enough to fight against all their enemies, so they still needed to enhance their force in secrecy. The three made an order to all the cultivators here that everyone was forbidden to talk about Musen"s breakthrough, hoping that this secret would be kept as long as possible.
Musen got into the palace where they lived with the three. Inside the palace, there was G.o.ddess Nvywa, where the Holy Mother of Human Tribe worshipped. Though G.o.ddess Nvywa hadn"t appeared since she created the Human Tribe, she still deserved the shrine and to be worshiped by them. After all, she had created the Human Tribe.
Once they were in the palace, Youchao-Shi immediately asked, "My brother, what did you get this time?" He was really curious about what kind of chance could make Musen break into the stage of Fate Reading after such a short time. Hearing the question, Suiren-Shi and Ziyi-Shi also looked at Musen in expectation.
Musen smiled at the three Ancestors of Human Tribe. Even if they were always majestic in front of their tribe, they would show their trust and honesty to him. Therefore, Musen didn"t plan to keep a secret from them. Stretching out his hand, Musen held out something that had been wrapped in supernatural power.
Looking at the things wrapped in the supernatural power, Ziyi-Shi asked, "My brother, what"re those tablets inside?" This ball-like thing was not very big but it contained 3,600 tablets. In fact, it seemed to be a simple Magic Skill which she could also re-create. However, what made her curious was the tablets that had helped Musen ascend to the stage of Fate Reading.
Musen said, "You three must have heard about the first catastrophe of Longhan before, the first Cultivation Tribulation of Heaven and Earth in Untainted Land. And these 3,600 tablets were the Enlightenment Tablets refined by a peerless master at that time, who recorded enormous transforming exercises, magic skills and tactical formations on the Way of Celestial Immortality. These tablets became what they"re now after refining from the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land."
Suiren-Shi frowned and asked, "Musen, would the Spiritual Inheritance of the Way of Celestial Immortality do any good to our Human Tribe? Since we have different body const.i.tution from the other tribes, their transforming exercises aren"t suitable for us. These tablets seem to be useless for us."
Musen laughed and said, "My big brother, you are aware of only one aspect and ignorant of the other. In fact, the transforming exercises on these Enlightenment Tablets were created by the powerful master at the base of the primordial body. Our Human Tribe was also born with a primordial body, so you can see that we can cultivate these tablets indeed."
Youchao-Shi was a little bit confused and asked, "Since it"s so, why not choose the transforming exercises of Demon Tribe? The Demon Tribe was the predecessor of all the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land." After the first catastrophe of Longhan, under pressure from the Wu Tribe, the hundred tribes merged into the Demon Tribe. Therefore, it was true that the Demon Tribe was the predecessor of the hundred tribes.
Musen explained, "My brother, you might not know that all these Enlightenment Tablets were taken back during the first catastrophe of Longhan. Since then, the Hundred Tribes have been badly destroyed and the Spiritual Inheritance of transforming exercises has also gone missing. Therefore, the transforming exercises of Demon Tribe were all created by themselves, which means that it"s not suitable for our Human Tribe to cultivate."
Hearing Musen"s words, Ziyi-Shi said with joy upon her face, "I see, my brother. So where did you get these Enlightenment Tablets? Have you met this master?" Since these tablets were full of stories, the master who refined these must be someone peerless.
Musen shook his head and said, "I found these tablets in a cave. Maybe that master left them there for someone fated. Therefore, I don"t know who this master is." The tablets had been refined by Minghe actually, however, Musen did not want to expose his relationship with Minghe at the moment.
Suiren-Shi was pleasant but worried again. He said, "My brother, they are full of the Spiritual Inheritance of the Way of Celestial Immortality on these Enlightenment Tablets. If these tablets were spread among our Human Tribe, I"m worried that it would have a bad effect on the Spiritual Inheritance of Martial Arts in our tribe. We may lose more than we gain."
Musen laughed and said, "Hahaha, there"s no need for you to worry about this. On these Enlightenment Tablets, they"re not only full of the Spiritual Inheritance of the Way of Celestial Immortality, but also the verve of the Hundred Tribes. If our Human Tribe could comprehend the verve, it would be greatly beneficial for the cultivation of Martial Arts. That"s also the reason why I can break into the stage of Fate Reading after such a short time."
Hearing Musen"s words, the three were all shocked. They had never thought that there would be the verve of Hundred Tribes left on these tablets, which gave Musen the chance to make a breakthrough. With such a wonderful effect, they did not have to worry that it would do any harm to their Spiritual Inheritance of Martial Arts.
After a while, a Spiritual Inheritance Palace of the Human Tribe was built at the center of this sacred land, with 3,600 Enlightenment Tablets standing inside. Immediately, these tablets became the hottest things among the Human Tribe, which also made Martial Arts flourish. At the same time, the Way of Celestial Immortality was also rooted in the Sacred Land of Spiritual Inheritance. Martial Arts and the Way of Celestial Immortality were both spread among the Human Tribe.
