Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 156 First Battle

It turns out that Chi You's tribe was not a pure human race, but rather the offspring of intermarriage and love between humans and witches during the previous great calamity. However, most of their bloodline did not belong to humans, but rather to witches.

Therefore, the Jiuli tribe was actually a tribe of shamans. And these shamans were quite a peculiar group.

Perhaps because of its mixed bloodline, although its physical strength is far inferior to that of the Wu Clan, it does not have the Wu Clan's flawed primordial spirit.

In other words, a shaman can cultivate both his physical body and his primordial spirit.

Logically speaking, shamans should have these qualities and should not have their talents wasted, but precisely because of this, their cultivation speed is extremely slow.

He cultivated both his physical body and his primordial spirit, but his strength was not high. Therefore, he was not valued by the Wu Clan and was not considered one of their own.

Therefore, these shamans eventually returned to the human race, forming the Jiuli tribe, which has continued to thrive to this day.

After hearing Duobao Daoist's words, Shennong's expression grew even more somber. Meanwhile, the other humans began to discuss among themselves.

Gradually, a voice emerged that since Chi You was not human, the position of supreme ruler should not be passed on to Chi You, but should be passed on to Xuanyuan.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Duobao knew that the matter was almost certain to succeed.

However, Shennong did not make a decision on the spot, but decided to make a conclusion three days later.

After everyone had left, Shennong sighed deeply and pondered for three days.

Shennong summoned everyone again. This time, Daoist Duobao also came, and he brought Xuanyuan with him.

Shennong, upon seeing this, couldn't help but nod in approval. Xuanyuan was born with a majestic and imposing presence, and seemed to possess an aura of domineering power that grew stronger with each passing day.

This aligns with the temperament of the sovereign, making him worthy of inheriting the throne of the human emperor. It's just a pity that if Xuanyuan were chosen, it would be unfair to the other Chiyou.

Chi You was also a human.

At least, that's how Shennong saw it.

Unfortunately, the crowd was in a frenzy, and Daoist Duobao revealed the true nature of the Jiuli tribe. No matter how good Chiyou was, in the eyes of the crowd, he was not the legitimate ruler, so naturally he could not compete with Xuanyuan.

Shennong was also helpless in this regard. How could one easily change the prejudices in people's hearts? Even if he was the supreme ruler and the emperor, it would be difficult for him to do so.

In this re-discussion, Shennong only decided that the Jiuli tribe would also become part of the human race, and that the position of the common leader would be passed on to Xuanyuan, but he asked Xuanyuan to treat the Jiuli tribe leniently.

Seeing this, Daoist Duobao smiled with satisfaction.

Not long after, Shennong, following the example of Fuxi, summoned all the tribes of the human race and passed the position of common leader to Xuanyuan.

He also bestowed upon them the Kongtong Seal.

However, the news soon reached the Jiuli tribe, and Chi You was furious upon hearing it.

Therefore, Chi You rallied the entire Jiuli tribe and launched an attack on Chendu.

The news then reached Chendu.

Shennong, upon learning this, calculated the secrets of heaven and sighed deeply, saying to everyone, "This is the will of heaven, that my human race must undergo this calamity before it can prosper."

"But it is ultimately my fault. I have no face to see Chi You. I only hope that Xuanyuan can follow my teachings. The Jiuli are also a part of our human race. Do not kill too many people."

Shennong then went beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens to cultivate in the Fire Cloud Palace, no longer concerning himself with the affairs of the human race.

Meanwhile, Chi You came on strong, advancing from east to west, directly into the Central Plains and approaching the capital of Chen.

Before he could even commemorate Shennong, Xuanyuan immediately ordered all the tribes to block the Jiuli tribe along the way. At the same time, he also gathered the elites of the human race under his command, determined to fight Chiyou to the death.

Moreover, his master, Daoist Duobao, spread the word throughout the primordial world, inviting fellow Daoists from various immortal mountains and caves to come and help.

Of course, most of the cultivators who came to help were actually disciples of the Jie Sect. Since their senior brother, Daoist Duobao, had given the order, none dared disobey.

In an instant, countless cultivators arrived, their presence awe-inspiring. Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan's confidence soared even higher.

However, Daoist Duobao's expression was not very good, because among the cultivators who came, there were not only disciples of the Jie Sect, but also the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

The disciples of the two sects immediately started arguing, and Daoist Duobao was furious, rebuking Guangchengzi for his insatiable greed.

Having already reaped the merits of being the teacher of the Earthly Sovereign, he now teaches the Human Sovereign, yet he interferes again.

Guang Chengzi, however, was extremely thick-skinned. He let Duobao Daoist scold him, saying that Duobao Daoist himself had spread the news and invited them.

Hearing Guang Chengzi's shamelessness, Daoist Duobao became even more furious, and it seemed that the two were about to fight.

At this moment, Xuanyuan understood the reason and couldn't help but find it amusing. In his mind, his teacher, Daoist Duobao, was quite aloof.

However, it seems that it was nothing special now.

So, Xuanyuan stopped the two arguing parties and pulled Duobao Daoist aside, advising, "Teacher, why are you angry?"

"Although the disciples of the Chan Sect have also come, I still only have one revered teacher. Does my teacher fear that they might share the merit?"

Daoist Duobao thought about it and agreed that it made sense. There was only one teacher of the Human Emperor. Even if these Twelve Golden Immortals came to interfere, did they think they could take away his merits?

If it were that easy to get a share, then I wouldn't have asked my disciples for help!

So, although the two religions still couldn't stand each other, they both stayed behind. Xuanyuan reorganized his army, donned his armor, and set out to meet the Jiuli tribe, which was advancing with unstoppable momentum.

The two armies met, and unable to find common ground, they quickly clashed. The Jiuli tribe was truly formidable; the entire tribe was exceptionally brave and fierce.

Chi You, especially, as the clan leader, was fierce and wielded a large sword, making him almost invincible.

Duobao Daoist and other disciples of the Jie Sect surrounded and attacked, but suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

It turns out that the knife in Chi You's hand was extraordinary; it was made by Chi You using the finest of five metals to forge the blade.

Using the secret techniques of the Witch Clan, a grand formation was set up, drawing in a wisp of divine and malevolent essence left behind by the twelve Ancestral Witches, which was then integrated into the blade.

Thus, the sword was completed and named the Chi You Sword. With a single swing of this sword, black mist enveloped Chi You.

Within the black mist, the faces of the twelve Ancestral Witches appeared, all roaring and howling, their appearances extremely ferocious.

It was as if the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation had reappeared in the world, and its power was naturally invincible.

Those disciples of the Jie Sect were all frozen in place by this fierce aura, unable to move.

Naturally, he could not escape Chi You's attacks.

Moreover, those who are killed or wounded by Chi You's blade will have black mist invade their bodies, as if it were draining their blood.

His body instantly withered and turned to ashes.

But Chi You's blade became increasingly sharp and ferocious.

Daoist Duobao roared repeatedly, wielding a precious sword, desperately trying to resist Chi You, but he was still at a disadvantage.

What Daoist Duobao didn't know was that Chi You's blade was extraordinary, but Chi You's origins were even more extraordinary.

The Chi You Blade was forged by Chi You using a secret method of the Wu tribe, drawing upon the lingering divine and evil essence of the twelve ancestral witches in the world.

However, Chi You, who knew such secret methods, could not have been just a simple sorcerer.

It turns out that the red light that surged from the earth when Chi You was born also had its origins.

However, it was Houtu, the ancestral witch of the earth, who was reincarnated. One of the twelve ancestral witches was missing, but fortunately, Houtu left behind a few drops of her essence blood.

It can be given to other Ancestral Witches to cultivate new Ancestral Witches.

This new Ancestral Witch, also known as Witch Thirteen, refined the essence of the earth and became the new Ancestral Witch of the Earth.

However, given the limited time, Wu Shisan was unable to completely refine all the essence blood.

During the great battle, Wu Shisan self-destructed and died alongside Di Jun. The remaining essence and blood fell onto the earth and merged into it.
