The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Three days and twelve acupoints—it seems like he's far inferior to Su Yu, but in reality, it's already extremely abnormal.

Moreover, his physical body has been enhanced threefold.

Standing up, Yun Jie prepared to leave the seclusion.

Although he had signed in for a few more Heavenly Origin Fruits in the past three days, Yun Jie planned to take it easy. His strength had increased so much all at once, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. Moreover, he hadn't eaten for three days.

Gently opening the door and seeing the long-awaited sunlight, Yun Jie couldn't help but sigh that time always flies by when cultivating.

"Ah! Brother Yun has emerged from seclusion!"

At this moment, Wu Zhong, who was guarding outside Yun Jie's room, spotted Yun Jie and jumped up!

These past few days, Qin Guang arranged for him to guard Yun Jie's door, and to notify him as soon as Yun Jie came out of the pass.

Sure enough, in the small valley, following Wu Zhong's shout, not only Qin Guang arrived, but everyone else did as well.

Yun Jie instantly became a monkey being watched!

"How's it going, bro? Did you break through?"

Qin Guang hurriedly asked, because Yun Jie had given Qin Guang two Heavenly Origin Fruits under some pretext before going into seclusion, so Qin Guang was now at the ninth level of the Opening Origin Realm.

"Yes, I've already broken through." Yun Jie smiled. It wasn't that he didn't want to hide it, but he had suddenly gone into seclusion for three days. He couldn't very well say that he had only broken through to the eighth or ninth level of the Kaiyuan realm, could he?

Breaking through to the Kaiyuan Realm doesn't take that long. Besides, Yun Jie thought there wasn't much to hide about the Qianjun Realm, as long as others didn't know how many acupoints he had opened.

"Great! Now we finally have a 'master' at the Thousand-Pound Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Guang's face lit up with a joyful smile.

Everyone else cheered too!

Qin Guang: "Let's have a good celebration tonight."

Yun Jie replied with a smile, "I'm hungry too."

······

That night, the valley was filled with laughter and joy. Although it was only a small Thousand Jun Realm, it represented the hope of the Renren race.

The battlefield of the heavens has been open for several months, and the human race has been powerless to fight back. Now, the appearance of a Thousand Jun Realm expert means that more Thousand Jun Realm experts, Ten Thousand Stone Realm experts, and so on will appear one after another in the future. This indicates that the human race is beginning to rise.

Humanity has finally seen a glimmer of hope!

……

The next day, everyone got up early to start cultivating. Although none of them had reached the eighth level of the Kaiyuan realm and could mobilize the internal energy, practicing Tiger Fist could still strengthen their bodies. Otherwise, would they just do nothing all day and wait for the energy of heaven and earth to passively temper their acupoints?

Here, Yun Jie found Qin Guang and expressed his desire to go out again. This time, his reason was to see if he could find more Tianyuan Fruits and also to gain some experience!

Last time, Yun Jie told Qin Guang that he had accidentally found a fruit that could help people break through their limits. He named this fruit Tianyuan Fruit, ate some himself, and brought back the two that were left.

Finally, realizing that Qin Guang needed them more than he did, he gave Qin Guang the two Heavenly Origin Fruits and went into seclusion.

At this moment, Qin Guang heard Yun Jie mention the Heavenly Origin Fruit again, and he couldn't help but feel tempted, but he also asked with concern, "Won't there be any danger? Why don't I go with you, brother?"

"Don't worry, Brother Qin, I know what I'm doing! Besides, it'll be fine if I leave. But if you leave too, then we'll all be without a leader, won't we?"

Yun Jie rejected Qin Guang without saying a word, and even gave a bunch of reasons.

Nonsense! If we didn't refuse, would we really take Qin Guang to find the Heavenly Origin Fruit? It would be strange if we could even find it!

Left with no other choice, Qin Guang had to abandon the idea of ​​going out with Yun Jie.

Before leaving, Yun Jie said to Qin Guang, "Brother, you should train someone to take over this place as soon as possible. This place is trapping you. You should go out and find your own opportunities. Only by facing life and death can you become stronger! The rise of the human race depends on you!"

Qin Guang's face fell. "I understand, but what can we do? And who would be the most suitable candidate to train?"

"What's the big deal? Brother, think about it. When I came here, you were only at the seventh level of the Opening Realm. You can just wait until one of them breaks through to the seventh level. Besides, they've also cultivated martial arts now. Even if they're only at the seventh level, as long as they're careful, they can still protect themselves. And we'll be coming back from time to time!"

"As for who to train, we'll see who has the highest cultivation level right now, and train that one. That way, you can be freed up sooner, brother!"

Yun Jie rattled off a whole bunch of things, and after listening, Qin Guang said, "Brother, you're right! Let's do it your way!"

"Haha, it's great that you've come to your senses, brother! I'm off now! Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"

After saying goodbye to Qin Guang, Yun Jie left the small valley alone once again…

Chapter 9 First Battle Kill

······

Heading west.

Yun Jie's purpose in this trip was to increase his practical experience and hone his combat skills. Having cultivation level but no combat experience is not enough.

Yun Jie plans to distribute the Heavenly Origin Fruits he receives after signing in equally between the "Small Heavenly Cycle Technique" and the "Small Heavenly Cycle Sword Technique." Yun Jie believes that it is best to advance both cultivation techniques and martial arts skills simultaneously.

The boy walked cautiously through the quiet, deep forest, constantly alert to his surroundings, while simultaneously activating the divine rune of the character "Zhou" to conceal his presence.

Perhaps due to the recovery of vitality, in just a few months, the trees have grown thicker and taller, as if they have been injected with hormones.

Not only trees, but other plants were also growing luxuriantly, which made things difficult for Yun Jie. Not only was his vision easily obstructed, but as he walked through the forest, Yun Jie's clothes inevitably got torn by various bushes and branches. You know, he didn't bring any spare clothes with him when he went out!

"This is tough! These weeds are taller than a person!"

Yun Jie looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Awoo!"

Just then, Yun Jie suddenly heard a wolf howl!

Yun Jie suddenly stood up and quickly climbed the nearest tree, thinking, "Hopefully, it'll be a suitable enemy."

Yun Jie looked around from the treetop, muttering to himself.

"I see it! It's over there!"

Yun Jie was overjoyed, for he saw a werewolf walking upright appear in his line of sight from the southwest.

"Strange, how come there's a werewolf here?" Yun Jie asked, puzzled. Normally, wolves wouldn't be alone. He continued to observe.

After observing for a long time, Yun Jie couldn't find anything wrong. There was indeed only one werewolf in the surrounding area.

"I wonder how many levels of the Thousand-Pound Realm he is, and what level of cultivation technique he is practicing."

The strength of different levels of cultivation techniques varies significantly. The most common Yellow-rank cultivation technique only opens four acupoints at the first level, while the top-level Earth-rank technique opens twelve acupoints at the first level. Not to mention the Heaven-rank cultivation techniques. Therefore, one can roughly judge a person's strength simply by the cultivation technique they practice.

Of course, Yun Jie firmly believed that the werewolf in front of him didn't even have a Heaven-rank technique, let alone an Earth-rank one; he had already overestimated him by saying he had a Profound-rank technique.

The werewolf in front of me should be from a small clan. Normally, the main cultivation technique of a small clan is likely to be a technique that opens 72 acupoints, or even less.

This is not impossible. Several hundred years later, most of the humans in the human realm will only be practicing the "Thousand-Pound Technique," which can open 36 acupoints. It's impossible for the werewolf race to be stronger than the humans, right?

"Forget it, we can't see anything from here. Let's try to test the waters and see what's going on." In the end, Yun Jie decided to make a move.

Using the divine inscription "Zhou", Yun Jie stealthily crept up to within three zhang of the werewolf. At that moment, the werewolf was frantically gnawing on a rabbit—yes, eating it raw.

Large drops of blood flowed from the werewolf's mouth, and rabbit fur was stuck to its lips. The boy glanced at it with disgust and thought, "Barbaric!"

Gripping the iron sword he'd brought from the valley tightly, he crept closer and closer...

Yun Jie held his breath, his gaze sharp, and secretly activated the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Sword Technique. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Now!"

At this moment, the werewolf had just drunk a mouthful of rabbit blood and was closing his eyes, looking completely intoxicated.

Seeing this, Yun Jie acted decisively, his long sword aimed straight for the werewolf's throat.

Although Yun Jie didn't know where his weakness was, regardless of race, places like the throat are usually vital.

A single stab will leave you crippled, if not dead!

Caught completely off guard, the werewolf had no time to react to Yun Jie's premeditated sword strike. Moreover, the distance between the two was too short, and he could only watch helplessly as Yun Jie's longsword pierced his throat.

With a soft splat, as expected, Yun Jie's longsword instantly pierced the werewolf's 'soft' throat, going straight through its neck...

"Pfft...you...human..."

Before he could finish a complete sentence, the werewolf's neck lolled to the side, his body went limp, and he breathed his last.

But his eyes were wide open, filled with shock, resentment and hatred; he died with his eyes open!

"Phew, so it's just a werewolf at the fourth level of the Thousand-Pound Realm. It seems it has only opened 25 acupoints. Hmm, weaker than I expected..."

Yun Jie was somewhat disappointed. He had indeed overestimated the werewolf. It was obvious that the werewolf was only practicing the most basic 36 acupoints technique.

If the werewolf knew what Yun Jie was thinking at this moment, he would probably jump up on the spot and have a good argument with him!

"Me, weak? Are you kidding me? Look at yourself! First, you stealthily appeared beside me, then you sneaked in while I had my eyes closed. What's worse, you not only cultivate a top-tier Earth-rank technique, but your martial arts are also at the mid-tier Heaven-rank! I might not even be able to beat you in a head-on fight, and you actually resorted to sneak attacks! You're such a jerk! You bastard!!!"

Unfortunately, this werewolf can only go to the underworld to complain to the ghosts. Of course, there is no underworld in this world, only the realm of the dead.

After dealing with the enemy, it's time for the much-anticipated looting part.

Yun Jie squatted down happily.

"As expected of a member of a small clan, being so poor is befitting your status."

Yun Jie searched the werewolf thoroughly, and found nothing but a martial arts manual and a pair of gauntlets. Moreover, the gauntlets were just ordinary weapons.

Well, Yun Jie wasn't disappointed. This was just a weak werewolf at the fourth level of the Thousand-Pound Realm with 25 acupoints. He hadn't expected it to drop any good equipment, so he might as well just go to sleep.

Disappointed, Yun Jie glanced at the technique and became even more disappointed. "What kind of scribbling is this? I can't understand it at all."

Yun Jie, who was disgusted with it, almost threw it away. But then he thought, "Oh well, I'll keep it. It's okay if I don't understand it now, it doesn't mean I won't understand it in the future. The human race is in dire need of cultivation techniques."

It wasn't that Yun Jie was unwilling to contribute his cultivation technique, but rather that the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Technique was something he had "laboriously" obtained, and it was truly hard to part with it for nothing. Moreover, not everyone is suited to cultivate top-tier Earth-rank cultivation techniques.

First, we lack the qualifications; second, we lack the resources.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Human Realm be able to produce a top-tier Earth Rank cultivation technique? Why make the "Thousand-Pound Technique" the primary cultivation technique for the general public? Isn't it because most people lack the aptitude and resources?

Of course, Yun Jie was willing to give the cultivation technique to Qin Guang, but he didn't have a good reason before. After returning from this "training" trip, Yun Jie planned to teach Qin Guang the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Technique and give him a few Heavenly Origin Fruits.

Yun Jie thought to himself that only if Qin Guang became stronger quickly could he better hide behind him and be the behind-the-scenes boss. Otherwise, if something happened in the future, he would have to do it himself. What kind of behind-the-scenes boss would that be?

But the human race is in dire straits right now, and Yun Jie has no choice but to contribute, even if he wants to hide. Who knows what kind of butterfly effect his arrival will cause? What if he can't even hold out until the establishment of the manor?

Even if we take a step back and say that you have strength below the Eternal Realm, what reason do you have to hide it?

At most, you should hide the fact that you've improved too quickly, and at the same time, don't make yourself stand out too much, otherwise many "eyes" will be watching you openly and secretly.

Don't you see, the "Ye Batian" of later generations is a typical example. Who else would be targeted if not you, given how outstanding you are?

Of all the birds in the forest, you fly the fastest and the highest.
