Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 69 Mysterious Black Shadow!

The Human Race Genius Battle is in full swing, with countless human geniuses emerging and beginning to showcase their remarkable talents.

While the human race's genius battle was being held, the disciples of the Western Sect were frowning, racking their brains about how to plan for the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Having learned their lesson from the last time, the Western followers were exceptionally cautious this time and dared not underestimate the Witch Clan in the slightest.

But precisely because of this, after much deliberation, the Western followers found that they could not find a single reliable solution.

Even Jizo, who always prided himself on being a wise man, overturned all his plans after devising countless schemes.

Ksitigarbha knew that his opponent this time was extraordinary, and that using ordinary tactics might only lead to his own humiliation.

To ensure absolute certainty, these Western sect disciples remained silent for decades, during which time they spent most of their time observing the cycle of reincarnation in the six realms.

On this day, the disciples of the Western Sect were still deep in thought about countermeasures when suddenly, a shadow approached rapidly from afar, drawing near their hiding place.

"Who dares to spy on us? They're courting death!"

The Western Sect disciples quickly discovered the shadow. They were secretly troubled, and now that this dark shadow had delivered itself to their doorstep, wasn't it just a perfect opportunity for them to vent their anger?

The disciples of the Western Sect didn't care what the dark figure was or what its intentions were; without saying a word, they attacked directly.

These Western Sect disciples weren't particularly strong, but they still possessed the cultivation level of Golden Immortals. After all, they were disciples of a sage, so their strength was not insignificant.

These Western sect disciples were quite imposing when they made their move, unleashing powerful energy that shot straight towards the dark figure.

Without any visible movement from the dark figure, it simply accelerated and instantly dodged all the attacks from the Western Sect disciples.

In a flash, the dark figure had already passed by the Western Sect disciples, causing them to fall to the ground instantly.

"What kind of demon dares to attack my Western Sect disciples?"

As the sound rang out, Ksitigarbha and his disciples from the Western Sect appeared just in time, blocking the dark figure in front of them.

The dark figure, for reasons unknown, stopped upon seeing Ksitigarbha and the others, and confronted them.

A moment later, a deep voice suddenly came from the shadows: "The Western Sect disciples are too weak!"

If I hadn't held back, they would be dead already. With such strength, what makes you think you can plot against the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

Ksitigarbha's expression changed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent unconsciously flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Who exactly are you? And what is your purpose in coming here?" Ksitigarbha asked in a deep voice.

Planning the Six Paths of Reincarnation is a secret of the Western Sect, and outsiders have no way of knowing about it except for the disciples of the Western Sect.

The dark figure before them appeared incredibly mysterious; even Ksitigarbha could not discern its true nature.

This dark figure, however, revealed the purpose of this group of Western Sect disciples in one breath, which made Ksitigarbha wary.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that we have a common enemy, and that will be the basis for our cooperation!" The deep voice rang out again.

"A common enemy? You mean the Witch Clan?" Dizang quickly regained his composure and asked in a deep voice.

"You still think that it was the Witch Clan who schemed against you to this extent? Then I can only say that you Western Sect disciples are nothing special!"

"You seem even more foolish than I thought. Cooperating with a bunch of idiots like you is not a good choice!" the shadowy figure said sarcastically.

Upon hearing the shadowy figure's mockery, Jizang showed no anger whatsoever; instead, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Oh? It seems you know quite a bit! Of course I know there must be other beings behind the Witch Clan, but the Witch Clan doesn't have that kind of brain."

"But the existence behind it is extremely hidden. I have observed the Six Paths of Reincarnation for a long time, but I have not found anything unusual!" Ksitigarbha said in a deep voice.

Ksitigarbha had realized that the dark figure in front of him was definitely not a simple person, and his purpose in coming here was probably not simple either.

That's why Ksitigarbha revealed all the secrets, and it seemed that the dark figure in front of him knew everything.

Revealing the secret and testing them might be an opportunity for these Western disciples to plot their own reincarnation.

"It seems you have some wisdom. Those brainless bastards of the Witch Clan, how could they possibly be capable of any schemes or plots, and yet they could do something so watertight?"

"The reason you can't discover the existence behind the Witch Clan is because that existence has already left the Six Paths of Reincarnation!" the shadowy figure said in a deep voice.

"Who is it? Who exactly is behind the Witch Clan?" Ksitigarbha asked with a gloomy and sinister expression.

Ksitigarbha didn't ask about the identity of the shadowy figure; he only wanted to know who was behind the Witch Clan plotting all of this.

"Of course I know who is behind the Witch Clan, but why should I tell you?" the shadowy figure said with interest.

"Since you've come here, you're not here aimlessly. If I'm not mistaken, the entity behind the Witch Clan also has a grudge against you."

"Since you just said we have a common enemy, telling me the identity of the being behind the Witch Clan will only benefit you!" Dizang said in a deep voice.

"You're right. I came to see you Western Sect disciples this time to see for myself whether you are a good partner."

It seems that there are some capable people in the Western Church, and cooperating with you might be a good option!

"But if I want to tell you the identity of that being, you must first agree to my conditions!" the shadowy figure said.

"What do you want?" Ksitigarbha asked calmly and in a deep voice.

"If we cooperate, I need your Western Sect to send out enough experts, at least quasi-saint level experts, to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Once we kill the being behind the Witch Clan, everything he owns will be mine. I don't want to get involved in anything else!" the shadowy figure said.

Upon hearing this, Ksitigarbha secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the target of this dark figure was not the Six Paths of Reincarnation, their Western Sect did not need to care.

"A quasi-saint level expert? Is the being behind the Witch Clan really that powerful?" Dizang asked hesitantly.

The Western Sect is, after all, the lineage of the Two Saints of the West, and naturally has quasi-saint level experts within it. However, Ksitigarbha hesitated to ask a quasi-saint level expert to take action.

Today, he is the leader of the Western Sect disciples present, and he himself is the mastermind behind the Western Sect's plan for the six realms of reincarnation.

If a quasi-saint level expert were to arrive, Ksitigarbha would immediately have to relinquish the initiative he had so painstakingly gained, and how could he possibly be willing to do so?

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Ksitigarbha would never easily summon a quasi-saint level expert from the Western Sect.

"Hahaha! You have no idea who you're facing. Even at this point, you still dare to harbor any illusions?"

"Very well, then I'll make you give up completely. Do you know that in the primordial world, the originally weak human race has produced a powerful figure?" the dark figure said in a deep voice.

"Are you referring to the human race's supreme ruler who once fought Donghuang Taiyi head-on, ultimately ending in a draw, and whose victory shook the entire prehistoric world?"

"Are you saying that the human race's supreme ruler is behind all this, the Witch Clan? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ksitigarbha said incredulously.

If the dark figure before him were referring to a powerful being from the primordial world, Ksitigarbha might believe it to some extent.

But listen to what that dark figure just said: Who is the sovereign of the human race? The sovereign of the human race? Can a mere sovereign of the human race make the witch race willingly submit?

Even though it is rumored that the human race's supreme ruler is indeed powerful, possessing quasi-saint level combat strength, the human race is too preoccupied with its own problems to interfere in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

"Hahaha! I knew you wouldn't believe me. Do you know that when the Ancestral Witch Houtu opened the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Human Race's Common Ruler was present?"

Speaking of which, the human race's supreme ruler contributed a great deal of effort to Houtu's successful opening of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, a fact witnessed by many powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

That is why the human race's supreme ruler had a close relationship with the witch race, and why was it difficult for him to make the witch race in the underworld obey him?

"It's a pity you were tricked, but you'll never guess that the one who orchestrated all of this was actually a mere human!" the shadowy figure said with a loud laugh.

"I never expected this! I never imagined that the one plotting all this behind the scenes for the Witch Clan was actually a human!" Ksitigarbha muttered to himself.

Ksitigarbha's expression had become extremely gloomy. Although he still had some doubts, he had begun to believe the shadowy figure's words to some extent.

"Yes! Who would have thought that a mere human ruler, having just offended the demon race, would dare to interfere in the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

"How about it? Now that you know who your opponent is, you should understand that without a quasi-saint level expert, you absolutely cannot deal with that human race's supreme ruler!" the shadowy figure continued.

Ksitigarbha nodded. The fact that the human race's supreme ruler could fight against the Eastern Emperor to a draw, regardless of the reason, shows that his strength is extraordinary.

Although these disciples of the Western Sect were quite strong, even combined they couldn't possibly be a match for a quasi-saint level expert.

If the Western Sect still wants to plan the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it will have to send out a quasi-saint level expert to have any hope of success.

"You don't need to worry about that. As long as that person's identity is confirmed, our Western Sect will have strong experts to take action and will definitely be able to suppress that human race's leader."

"Now that we're all in a cooperative relationship, I'm quite curious about your identity!" Ksitigarbha suddenly said.

"My identity? I can tell you, but this must be kept secret. I can only tell you!" The shadowy figure pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Alright! You only need to tell me, and I will never reveal your identity!" Ksitigarbha replied.

The shadowy figure nodded and telepathically revealed his identity to Ksitigarbha. Ksitigarbha's face instantly showed a look of shock.

"It was you!"
