The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 91 The Birth of Chi You, the Struggle for the Human Emperor

In just a few years, Xuanyuan annexed more than a dozen tribes.

Just as Xuanyuan was preparing to conquer all the tribes in this way, he encountered a tough nut to crack: the Jiuli tribe, where Chiyou's reincarnation resided.

The Jiuli tribe is a mix of human and shaman blood, and each member possesses an astonishing physique and is brave and skilled in battle.

With the addition of Chi You, the reincarnation of the Great Witch, the people of the Xuanyuan tribe were no match for them.

Left with no other option, Xuanyuan had to seek help from his teacher, the Jade Cauldron Immortal.

"Teacher, the Jiuli tribe is brave and skilled in battle; we are no match for them."

Although the human race has Grand Luo cultivators, most of them stay in the ancestral land and the ancient starry sky. In addition, they are preparing for war. Xuanyuan's side is engaged in internal strife within the human race, so he cannot mobilize these people at all.

“Chi You is the reincarnation of a great sorcerer, who came to compete with you for the throne of the Human Emperor. It’s normal that you are no match for him. I will accompany you tomorrow,” said Master Yu Ding.

"Thank you teacher!"

A look of joy appeared on Xuanyuan's face.

The next day.

Xuanyuan led his army to challenge the Jiuli tribe.

Chi You, without fear, led his soldiers out to meet the enemy.

"Chi You, you are a member of the Wu tribe, yet you dare to compete with me for the throne of the Human Emperor. Such defiance of Heaven is surely not without the wrath of Heaven, which will punish the Wu tribe!" Xuanyuan rebuked angrily.

"Xuanyuan, stop with the empty talk. Whether Heaven punishes my Wu clan is not something you can decide."

"In the primordial world, strength reigns supreme. If you defeat us, you will become the Human Emperor; if you lose, there's nothing more to say," Chi You said disdainfully.

Although it was all an act, the pride of the Wu tribe wouldn't allow Chi You and his men to surrender without a fight. At most, they would hold back a little during the battle and spare their lives. As for anything else, these straightforward Wu tribe members would never do anything like that.

In other words, although it's just acting, they actually have to defeat Chi You and the others.

"This humble Taoist, Yu Ding of the Chan Sect, greets the Great Shaman Chi You," Yu Ding Zhenren said as he stepped forward to Chi You.

"Since you are a member of the Chan Sect, you must have learned about the rules of our Wu Clan from Guang Chengzi, right?" Chi You asked.

After Guang Chengzi became the Five Ghost Emperors, he also came into contact with the Wu Clan. After all, some members of the Wu Clan lived within his jurisdiction. Over time, he came to understand some of the Wu Clan's affairs.

The witch clan is very stubborn, and it is impossible to persuade them, not even close relatives, unless you defeat them.

Master Yu Ding nodded.

"Then there's no need for further words. I'll be waiting for you to come and fight." After saying this, Chi You led his men back to the camp.

"Teacher, this..." Xuanyuan was puzzled as to why Chiyou had returned before the fight even started.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to Kunlun Mountain and gather some fellow disciples to come and help you!" Master Yuding said calmly. Could he say that Chi You was looking down on him? Didn't Master Yuding have any pride?
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher!" Although Xuanyuan had some doubts, he didn't say anything.

Master Yu Ding nodded, transformed into a streak of rainbow light, and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.

……

Inside Chi You's military tent.

Chi You sat in the main seat, with Xiang Liu, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi sitting on either side.

"The World War is about to begin, and we don't know when this mission will end," Feng Bo said. "If the World War comes and this isn't over, you guys hold them off for now, I'll go participate in the World War."

"Our Wu Clan cannot lose face in front of all the races of the prehistoric world. Xing Tian and the other two are not enough to save face," Xiang Liu said.

“That’s true. In fact, for a minor human conflict, the Chi You brothers are enough. Our main purpose in coming here is to make the lineup look better. We’re not really needed,” Yu Shi agreed.

"Bullshit! What are you up to? Do you think I don't know?"
You want to leave me behind and go to participate in the World War? Let me tell you, no way!

"You reincarnated me without my permission, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet! And now you dare to play this trick on me?" Chi You roared angrily.

"See, you get agitated after just a few words!"

Did we act on our own initiative? No, we did it according to the instructions of the Nine... um, the Great Witch Xingtian.

"Besides, our Wu clan is willing to accept defeat, and we can't hold grudges later!" Xiang Liu immediately defended himself, but just as he was about to mention Jiu Feng, he suddenly changed his tune and shifted the blame to Xing Tian.

There was no way around it; Jiu Feng had powerful backers. Not to mention her brother Qiang Liang, even Xuan Ming and Hou Tu, the only female among the Great Witches, were very fond of Jiu Feng. He couldn't afford to offend her.

"Hmph! A bet's a bet? How dare you even say that?"
Why not wait until I wake up before deciding who will be reincarnated?
That's fine, you lost one-on-one, but I was attacked by Jiu Feng, Xing Tian and Hou Yi, so I was the most seriously injured.

"How dare you send me into the cycle of reincarnation?" Chi You's resentment rose.

"Ahem! Alright, everyone, don't panic. I just saw that Yu Ding has probably gone back to Kunlun Mountain, probably to ask for help. He should be back soon, so our mission shouldn't be too long." Feng Bo stepped in to smooth things over, as it would be quite embarrassing if they started to fight amongst themselves at this point.

"Hmph! That's for the best!" Chi You sneered.

……

Yu Ding Zhenren returned to Kunlun Mountain and immediately went to Yuxu Palace to pay his respects to Yuanshi Tianzun.

With Yu Ding's influence, he could only invite Taiyi Zhenren and Yun Zhongzi, who had just entered the sect. But asking them to fight against the great shaman of the Wu tribe was tantamount to getting beaten up. Although they wouldn't be in mortal danger, they wouldn't solve the problem and would just get beaten up for nothing. Nobody wanted to go!

I might as well ask my master for a decree to mobilize everyone and defeat Chi You. Although it would mean sharing in the merits he gained as the Human Emperor, I can't worry about that now.

With the world war imminent, he needs to finish dealing with human affairs as soon as possible so he can prepare for battle.

When Master Yuding arrived at the gate of Yuxu Palace, Baihe Tongzi had been waiting for a long time, holding a sword and a decree.

"Senior Brother Yu Ding, this is from the Master. He wants you to quickly finish dealing with the affairs of the human race and then return to Yu Xu Palace to prepare for war. We cannot lose face for the Chan Sect in the World War." The White Crane Boy handed the sword and the decree to True Man Yu Ding, while conveying the words of the Primordial Sage.

Yu Ding accepted it and bowed to Yu Xu Palace.

"Junior brother, I am aware of this and will handle it as soon as possible."

After saying this, Master Yuding turned around and went to find the other disciples of the Chan Sect.

~~
When Yu Ding arrived at Xuanyuan's camp with the remaining Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and the Chan Sect's Vice Leader Randeng, Xuanyuan warmly welcomed them and discussed how to defeat Chi You the next day.

The next day.

Xuanyuan led his disciples to fight Chiyou, but to avoid being caught in the crossfire, he did not bring any mortal soldiers.

Without saying much, the four great shamans revealed their true forms and engaged in battle with the immortals of the Chan Sect. Among them, Chi You's attack was the most fierce, leaving the Taoist Ran Deng no chance to fight back.

The battle was short-lived, lasting only a few days. Chi You and his men returned to their camp refreshed, leaving behind the bruised and battered immortals of the Chan Sect.
