Grandpa, times have changed.
Chapter 898 The Decline of Martial Arts Cultivation, From Confusion to Perplexity
The fifteenth year of cooperation between Tai and Tian.
Faced with immense pressure from the two Cangzu ancestors, the human race had no choice but to begin a full-scale retreat.
Xu Xing went even further, directly separating the Eastern Wilderness from the Tai Xuan Realm, drawing a boundary that was difficult to cross.
Apart from himself continuing to 'obey' Gu's orders and Tai 'fighting to the death' to purge the tribes under Tai's command, the rest of the human race hardly appeared in the outside world.
This also means that many people born during this period are unaware that other great domains exist beyond the Eastern Wilderness.
In their minds, the Eastern Wilderness was everything, and the vast red light that stretched to the horizon was boundless!
Thus, it continued until the 397th year when Tai and Tian officially began their cooperation.
Eastern Wilderness.
The floating continent, the ancestral home of humanity.
night.
The moonlight was bright, and the stars were dazzling.
Its sharpness knows no bounds, sealing off all directions.
Having just returned from the Azure Domain, Xu Xing discussed matters with several Cave Immortals and then traveled alone to a corner of the Floating Continent.
On a remote and extremely steep hill.
He gazed quietly into the distance for a while, then, holding his sword, he closed his eyes and sat down against a rock.
And to the side was Chi Jiuyu, who had just stopped not long ago.
"Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice what you have learned?"
Chi Jiuyu sighed in a pretentious manner, leaving Yu Yi somewhat confused.
No?
Is this sentence used correctly here?
As expected, Master Yu is still the same as before, a half-literary...
To put it more politely, one should say that her cultural understanding is not keeping up with her progress in kendo.
"Yiyi."
Chi Jiuyu looked at the sword in his hand.
"Speaking of which, Martial Uncle's pose is quite stylish! Right!"
As she spoke, she turned to the side and adjusted her movements, mimicking Xu Xing's posture.
Yu Yi: "..."
Sword Ancestor, are you tired?
The Lord always manages to make something very serious, very serious...
Uh……
Not so serious.
"is it?"
The sudden sound startled Chi Jiuyu, making her instantly alert!
Looking back, I saw that Xu Xing had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at me calmly.
"..."
Blinking, Chi Jiuyu subtly moved a few steps to the side.
But Xu Xing's gaze remained fixed on her.
emm...
"Martial Aunt?" she asked tentatively, "Can you see me?"
"can."
"..."
Ok!
You can actually see it!
She scratched her head, strode forward, and sat down cross-legged in front of Xu Xing.
This point in time...
Could it be that I'm going to have to fight my uncle who has already become an immortal?
Wouldn't I get beaten to a pulp?!
has a problem!
There's definitely something wrong with this matching system!
Chi Jiuyu was quite active inside.
"Are you my current senior uncle, or my future senior uncle?"
"Well..." Xu Xing smiled, "Guess."
"I bet it'll be sometime in the future!"
If it were my current senior martial uncle, he would never be able to laugh so easily.
"However, true immortals are eternal, so you can also consider them as beings in their present state, right, Uncle?"
Clearly, Chi Jiuyu was trying to describe and explain the True Immortal with her limited understanding.
However, Xu Xing did not refute it, but instead asked:
"Have you gained anything from this trip?"
"Of course!"
Not to mention that the rewards given by the Spirit Ancestor, the Charm Ancestor, and the Primordial Lord were exceptionally generous.
She also made a fortune from her senior classmates!
Besides that, there were also gains in spiritual practice.
Like other chosen cultivators, she traveled through chaotic timelines, battling one ancient powerhouse after another.
At first, she thought this kind of experience wouldn't be very useful.
After all, she is already the strongest god in history.
The reason I chose to continue was also to see more gossip...
Cough!
That's wrong, it should be about learning more about ancient secrets to enrich yourself.
However, after experiencing multiple time points and several battles, and witnessing the amazing methods of ancient powerhouses, she gained considerable inspiration.
Before she could advance to the Void Returning Realm, she needed to go into seclusion for a period of time.
Now, returning to the void is within reach; one only needs to go back and it can be accomplished with a single thought!
It's like a youthful version of the Great Rejuvenation Cultivation!
"By the way, why hasn't that Gu guy fallen out with you, Uncle-Master?"
"This is a rather advanced question," Xu Xing said.
and so……
Isn't this something you shouldn't know?
"But it's okay to tell you."
Huh?!
"Gu is still waiting for an opportunity, wanting me and the next True Immortal to deal with Tai, and take the opportunity to seize the original intent on Him."
In ancient times, the Cang people were still the group that He created and used as sacrifices.
Little did they know that the moment He descended to earth, the backup plan He had left within the Cang Clan was erased.
Chi Jiuyu was a little confused.
"Too? Original Intention?"
"Didn't you look into it?" Xu Xing asked, puzzled.
Although these matters are not made public, even within the Immortal Sect, only a small number of people have access to them.
However, as the direct disciple of a true immortal, Chi Jiuyu was clearly among those who could come into contact with him.
"..." Chi Jiuyu's eyes were a little unfocused. "I've been too busy since I got back. Let's find out more about it when we get back!"
She's the acting sect leader, you know.
I was so busy with the handover process that I didn't have time to learn about these things.
emm...
However, as a qualified sect leader, one should indeed do one's best to understand it!
To convince Xu Xing, she added:
"I'll have Xiaoyunlu tutor me!"
Xiao Yunlu must know very well!
Xu Xing shook his head and chuckled, glancing to the side.
"I don't know which of you two is more suitable to be the sect leader."
Chi Jiuyu's heart tightened.
"Xiao Yunlu doesn't want to be the sect leader!"
"Do as you please. It's not up to me to decide who becomes the sect leader."
That's what I meant.
Uncle-Master, who would dare disobey your orders?
Chi Jiuyu harbored resentment.
……
……
And so, Chi Jiuyu's journey through the past came to an end.
However, thanks to Xu Xing's arrangements, she witnessed everything that followed, as if watching a movie. The fifth hundredth year of cooperation between Tai and Tian.
The human cultivator 'Kui' attained enlightenment, becoming the second being to ascend to enlightenment in the form of a naturally born spirit!
He calls himself 'Overlord'!
On that day, surging blood and energy stained the heavens and the earth!
As soon as they emerged from seclusion, they joined forces with Xu Xing to repel Tianhe Tai, who attempted to invade the Eastern Wilderness.
Tian even suffered a serious injury in the process.
After that.
The unparalleled sharpness that had separated the Eastern Wilderness disappeared.
After many years, the human race has once again appeared in the sight of the various races of the Tai Xuan Realm.
The Overlord did not remain in the Eastern Wilderness Region, but instead went to the Radiant World Region and directly divided it in two.
Yes!
The Overlord directly occupied more than half of the Radiant World Domain!
With the same tough stance, and remembering the six human cultivators still in seclusion, Gu finally felt a sense of unease.
Although Xu Xing and Ba Zun were nominally still Heavenly Generals under His command, He could not control them at all.
More importantly, the two did not fight to the death with Him as He had anticipated.
If another enlightened being were to emerge from the human race...
Unlike the four of them, the human race was not like them, guarding against each other.
So He once again decided to test Xu Xing's loyalty, asking him to prepare a group of humans for a banquet.
The result was unexpected.
Xu Xing immediately turned against Him.
He attacked in a fit of rage, but was no match for him.
The Sword Ancestor, who usually couldn't withstand even one of my attacks, was actually able to turn the tables and suppress me!
After a brief exchange, the Sword Ancestor escaped unscathed, while He suffered extremely severe Dao injuries and was even caught up by Tai who arrived at the scene.
That is to say, He still had many loyal followers, one of whom risked his life to take Taiyi's attack.
Furthermore, Tai was well aware of the threat posed by the human race and did not want to waste his energy on the internal strife of the Cang clan, which is why he let Him go.
After such a change, Xuan, who had been wandering around and observing everything, finally couldn't sit still any longer. He rushed back and summoned the other three ancestors of the Cang Clan to discuss matters related to the two enlightened humans.
Ultimately, on Tai's advice...
The four of them reached a consensus and prepared to eliminate any Dongzhen beings from other races who might become 'enlightened beings'.
The lesson of humanity must not be repeated!
For the heavens, the 'anchor' is gone, and all the plans they've made have come to naught.
Even if it meant wiping out all living beings in this era, He would not hesitate.
Gu's mentality was similar.
However, He still harbored a sliver of the idea of taking advantage of the chaos and seizing the original intent.
But Tai, He is pure.
In His eyes, only the Cang Clan mattered; it didn't matter if other clans were wiped out.
As for Xuan...
He actually didn't want things to come to this.
But no way.
As the ancestor of the Cang clan, He could only consider the interests of the Cang clan.
Thus began a massive purge.
As the overlord of the Tai Xuan Realm, no other race can withstand the Cang Clan!
There's not even a need for an enlightened being to intervene.
Only one-third of the Cang Clan's Cave True Heavenly Generals came out in full force, and in less than half a day, they slaughtered ninety percent of the foreign Cave True Heavenly Generals!
Only humans and a few races under their protection survived.
Gu and Tian joined forces to besiege Ba Zun, and Xuan also personally took action, destroying the 'Martial Immortal City' established by high-level human martial artists in the Eastern Wilderness with a single palm strike.
Tai even ventured into the ancestral land of the human race, searching for the traces of the secluded Dongzhen.
At the critical moment, it was Xu Xing who broke into the Cang Domain and wreaked havoc, forcing the four ancestors of the Cang Clan to return, which barely averted the catastrophe.
In the battle, nearly 100 high-level cultivators above the Dao Integration Realm suffered casualties, while countless low- and mid-level cultivators below the Dao Integration Realm and ordinary people were killed or wounded.
The human race suffered a severe blow.
The martial arts lineage declined, with only a few low-level martial arts practitioners and one Dongzhen martial arts practitioner remaining in the world.
But the Cang tribe suffered even greater casualties!
The number and quality of their practitioners are unmatched by the current human race.
Xu Xing stormed into the Cangyu Domain, nearly turning the entire domain upside down, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
More than thirty of the Dongzhen Heavenly Generals alone have perished!
He was proficient in the profound mysteries of the Dao.
Hundreds of Dao Integration Realm cultivators have fallen!
For a moment, both sides calmed down.
I can't afford to replace it.
I really can't afford to replace it.
Neither the human race nor the Cang race could accept this loss, so they had no choice but to temporarily cease hostilities.
Although Gu Hetian didn't care how many Cang Clan members died or were injured.
However, on the surface, they are still the ancestors of the Azure Sky, and to avoid exposing their schemes, they still need to maintain their basic personas.
Therefore, we can only suppress it.
However, the Cang Clan also knew very well that continuing to drag things out would only narrow the gap between the human race and them.
Therefore, while devising the plan to eliminate the enemy, they also released the news.
As long as those races that take refuge under the human race offer a pledge of allegiance, they can be spared from the Cang race's purge, and the Cang race will also allow them to retain Dongzhen within their own race.
I was just trying it out casually and didn't expect it to be very effective.
As it turned out, quite a few groups actually betrayed the human race!
In the eyes of those races, the human race only has two enlightened beings, while the Cang race has four.
There's no need to compare those below the level of enlightenment; they're simply not on the same level at all!
It seems like the human race is destined to lose!
Initially, it was only the Xuan Yue Fox clan, which possessed three Dongzhen members, that had designs on it.
Under the pretext of discussing the marriage between Bu Huo and Yang Yue, the Xuan Yue Fox King Ming Yue invited Cheng hope to the ancestral land of the Xuan Yue Fox Clan.
As a moderate within the human race who was friendly towards other races, Cheng hope was wary but still willing to believe him.
In addition, Mingyue and He have had a friendship of nearly ten thousand years, so Bu Huo is also looking forward to this matter.
Therefore, although he had not yet recovered from the injuries caused by the Cang Clan's last attack, he still dragged his wounded body to the ancestral land of the Xuan Yue Fox Clan.
Because of this, Bu Huo was happy for quite a while.
However, Cheng hope never returned after that trip.
The Xuan Yue Fox clan was taken away by Xuan. Xu Xing, who had just returned from Huang Shi Domain, rushed back as fast as he could, but only managed to snatch back Cheng hope's head.
Another old friend has passed away, but Xu Xing has no time to grieve.
He simply sent Chengxi's head back to Bu Huo and then returned to continue dealing with the defection of the Xuan Yue Fox clan.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining tribes also began to attack high-level human cultivators, wanting to follow the example of the Xuan Yue Fox tribe and use this as a pledge of allegiance to join the Cang tribe, which had a better chance of winning.
In this way, Xu Xing wiped out those tribes that had once been allies but were now bitter enemies.
Only a very small portion were taken away by Taihe Xuan.
After this incident, Bu Huo sat in front of Cheng hope's head for a month and finally achieved the Tongxuan!
At that time, he was less than three thousand years old, making him the youngest Transcendent Realm expert in human history!
And from then on, he changed his name to Huo.
Three thousand years have passed since then.
The humans and the Cang tribes were constantly at war, but these were all small-scale skirmishes.
After all, the existence of enlightened beings is too transcendent.
Neither side can restrict the other's enlightened being.
A full-scale war would only result in the annihilation of all living beings in the Tai Xuan Realm, leaving only six enlightened beings to survive.
And among these three thousand years, here are a few of the most noteworthy events.
The first event was the failure of a human to successfully enter a closed-door cultivation cave, resulting in a crimson rainbow connecting the sky and the earth.
Secondly, Huo broke records again, becoming a Dongzhen at the age of five thousand years, making him the youngest Dongzhen in history.
The third thing is that the Supreme Sword Master has suddenly appeared!
Sword Ancestor's third disciple, Cheng Kong, cultivated even more after Huo, and achieved the Dongzhen realm in just four thousand years.
His swordsmanship was unparalleled, and his combat prowess was so great that even ordinary cultivators could hardly withstand a single blow.
He is recognized by the Tai Xuan Realm as the person most likely to attain enlightenment through the sword!
The fourth thing is that the heavens and earth will once again circulate with infinitely profound Dao energy, and extraordinary phenomena will frequently occur, indicating that another enlightened being will emerge among the human race! (End of Chapter)
