Chapter 6: The Inheritance of Wu and the Decision to Open Up Heaven and Earth
Yang Le had a dream, in which he became a wizard.
In a tribe with tens of thousands of witches, Yang Le often followed the hunting team to hunt. He saw thirty or forty meters high desolate beasts in front of the witches like harmless pheasants, one punch, one elbow, and one kick, fell to the ground, ten thousand tons of prey were light as a feather in front of the witches, and returned with a full load every day.
Every day, the accumulated prey is as big as a mountain, and every night's bonfire gathering is even more grand, with sounds that pierce the sky and echo through the mountains, singing that eternally existing mysterious song, laughing and scolding, although it's a group of rough men, but true nature.
Often, the tribe of that shaman would be attacked by some powerful and ferocious beasts from the wilderness. It was only then that the shaman would reveal his true form, striking down or driving away the beasts.
During that long period of time, Yang Le's strength also gradually became stronger, from the weakest Hu Wu, step by step cultivating to Hong Wu, then to Zhou Wu, and finally to the current Yu Wu.
Due to Wu's physical constitution, cultivating his body requires a large amount of energy-rich food supplements, and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very slow. Because he often hunts and kills fierce beasts in the Flood Desolation and Flood Desolation demonic beasts, at first, there are often demonic beasts coming to seek revenge, of course, the demonic beasts that come to seek revenge are all gone forever.
Later, some of the demon tribe could no longer bear the killing of their tribesmen and the battle with Wu became even more intense. The grudges between the two sides grew greater and greater. It was in this fierce battle that Yang Le grew from the weakest wild witch to a cosmic witch.
In this vast demonic tribe, even if there are accomplished demonic saints, the ignorant and ferocious beasts are the foundation of the entire demonic tribe. As the lowest level of the food chain, they must have the awareness of being slaughtered. Even with the protection of a powerful demonic saint, they cannot be protected. Not even saints or great sages can protect them, only by getting entangled in the web of right and wrong, favor and resentment.
It can be said that the grudges between the two tribes of witches and ghouls are nothing more than a matter of survival.
It can be said that the storm of Honghuang is coming. One day, Yang Le and a group of Yu Wu were summoned to the Zu Wu Temple. Yang Le had never seen any of the ancestors even though he had been cultivating for so long, even though he had lived in the Western Golden Ancestor - Zong Shou's tribe for 100,000 years.
Only in the vast expanse of the universe, the twelve ancestral witches who were renowned for their battles against heaven and earth had solemn expressions, constantly scanning us. The twelve ancestral witches are:
Golden scales all over the body, a golden snake piercing through the left ear, stepping on two golden dragons, with a human face and tiger body, wings growing from the shoulders, the ancestor of the Western Golden Witch.
Meng Po: The whole body is green wood color, bird face human body, feet on two green dragons, the ancestor of eastern wood sorcery.
Gonggong: A giant with the head of a python and the body of a man, stepping on two black dragons with his feet, and wrapped around by a green giant python. His whole body is covered in black scales. He is good at manipulating the water situation in the desolate wilderness and is the ancestor of the northern waters.
Zhurong: Beast head human body with two ears pierced by two fire snakes feet treading on two fire dragons whole body covered in fiery red scales ancestor of southern fire sorcery
Houtu: Human body with a snake tail, seven hands behind and two hands in front holding two snakes, the ancestor of central earth magic.
Tian Wu: Eight Trigrams, human face tiger body ten tails, ancestor of wind sorcery
Xuán Míng: Full-body bone spurs, giant beast, ancestor of rain witches
Qiang Liang: Tiger head human body holding two yellow snakes, Lei's ancestor shaman
Hui Zhi: Human face, bird body, two green snakes hanging from ears, holding two red snakes in hands, ancestor of thunder sorcery.
Di Jiang: Human face, bird body with four fleshy wings on its back, chest and abdomen, double legs with six claws. Good at speed, one flap of the four wings can travel 280,000 miles, whole body covered in red scales, ancestor of space speed magic.
Jiǔyīn: Human face snake body all over crimson red, in charge of the operation of the sun and moon, ancestor of time witch.
Xī Zhì: Human head and beast body, wearing two green snakes on the ears, in charge of weather, also known as drought demon, ancestor of heavenly weather.
Only the nine ancestral witches spoke in a solemn tone: "I believe you also know that our feud with the demon clan is getting bigger and bigger, and a war with the demon clan is inevitable. To enhance our vitality and inheritance, today we plan to pass on the twelve ancestral witchcraft techniques researched and cultivated by us to you, hoping to increase several great witches before the great war, so as to spread the techniques."
"Our twelve ancestral witches were born with indestructible bodies, inheriting the essence and blood of Pangu, but combined with the turbid air of the earth, polluting Pangu's essence and blood, making it difficult to enhance our powers. We observed the evolution of witchcraft, contemplating for billions of years, and created a set of techniques called 'Opening Heaven and Earth Decision'. It is divided into ten layers: First layer Ascending Heaven, Second layer Proud Heaven, Third layer Supporting Heaven, Fourth layer Communicating with Heaven, Fifth layer Locking Heaven, Sixth layer Calming Heaven, Seventh layer Shaking Heaven, Eighth layer Swallowing Heaven, Ninth layer Shattering Heaven - our twelve ancestral witches are at the Shattering Heaven level. The tenth layer took us the most time to create, after simulating and deducing for 1.05 billion years, combining Pangu's scene of opening heaven and earth, we created the tenth layer: Opening Heaven!"
Zu Wu Zhu Rong said beside the interface, "If you can open up the tenth layer of Tianlian, you can break through the cosmic barrier of Honghuang Tiandi and roam freely in the endless chaos. It's not too difficult to open up a thousand worlds." After finishing speaking, whether it was Zu Wu Zhu Rong or the other eleven Zu Wu, they all had a look of yearning on their faces. Immediately afterwards, there was a hint of desolation.
"The ancestors of the Wu Emperor broke off those melancholy thoughts and added, 'You have cultivated to the realm of Yu Wu for many years, you should know the distance between Yu Wu and the Earth-level Grand Witch, which is like clouds and mud. Not to mention the Heavenly Grand Witch. In these billions of years, how many have been promoted to Grand Witch? Our Wu clan can be said to be successful because of blood lineage, but also failed because of blood lineage. The main reason is that our Wu clan's blood lineage has been tainted by the turbid air of the earth. After becoming a Grand Witch, it is generally difficult to achieve anything in cultivation. This is the limitation of the turbid air of the earth on the evolution of blood lineage.'"
"Nowadays, everyone in the Primordial Chaos thinks that if our Witch tribe cultivates to the Great Witch boundary, we can fly by riding on the air. This is a huge mistake! If we Witches don't cultivate the 'Opening Heaven and Earth Decree', even our Ancestral Witches wouldn't be able to fly. The reason lies in the turbid Qi of the earth and the clear Qi of the sky, which counteract each other, making it difficult to fly. That's why this 'Opening Heaven and Earth Decree' can be called the sacred canon of our Witch tribe. This decree has almost integrated the innate laws grasped by our twelve Ancestral Witches, with each layer having a divine ability. For example, the first layer of the 'Opening Heaven and Earth Decree', Ascending to Heaven, is something that even Great Witches have practiced, which is why they can ride on the air using their cultivated divine abilities. Divine abilities are laws, and one doesn't need to comprehend them to manipulate them. This is where its power lies!"
"Our ancestors' bloodline and the impurities of the earth have merged into one, even Hong Jun is powerless. Our tribe's hope lies in separating the impurities from our bloodline before we fully embody the true form of the Great Witch, to become a pure-blooded tribe with infinite potential like Pangu, break through the barrenness of the Honghuang world... but it's too difficult. We don't have a primordial spirit because the essence of the primordial spirit is just pure energy, which means that after achieving true Pangu bloodline, we can cultivate our primordial spirit."
Later, a group of Yu Wu were informed of the method to strip away the impurities of the earth, the practice methods and secret techniques of each ancestor's cultivation, as well as the most important "Opening Heaven and Earth Decision". However, the method to strip away the impurities of the earth was really too harsh, unexpectedly requiring soaking in the Three Light Divine Water for thousands of years. The Three Light True Water theory also worked, but the speed of elimination was too slow, still needing hundreds of millions of years.
At this moment, Yang Le transformed into the true body of Qianzhang Wuyi, standing in the midst of a dense and endless army of witches, with an aura of killing filling the entire space. In front of him were the twelve ancestors of Wuyi, who had revealed their true bodies of billions of feet, followed by dozens or hundreds of great witches who had revealed their true bodies of millions of feet. Across from them, countless demonic beasts and demons had transformed into their original forms, letting out ear-piercing howls and roars that did not cease. In front of them were also several hundred powerful demons who maintained human form, led by two figures clad in imperial attire, exuding nobility and majesty. They were the master of the Heavenly Court, who had unified the demonic tribes and established the Heavenly Court, the embodiment of the sun, Sanzu Jingu Emperor Jun, and Donghuang Taiyi.
"Kill!", the cries of killing echoed throughout the vast expanse, evil spirits and ominous energy swept across the entire space. The two armies clashed like two raging rivers, stirring up endless slaughter. In an instant, all sorts of magical treasures filled the sky, spells shot out in all directions, and the cracks in the fabric of space were constantly torn apart. The primordial energy rioted wildly, the earth shattered, mountains collapsed, and magma flowed everywhere. The area where the twelve ancestral witches and Emperor Jun fought was reduced to nothingness, and all things returned to chaos.
Yang Le manipulated the thousand-mile golden attribute yuanqi to transform into a divine sword, charging into the demon tribe's army, the divine sword shooting out in all directions, strangling and killing enormous Flood Desolate beasts as large as mountains, everything in its path was pulverized, not even leaving behind any corpses.
Yang Le didn't know how many desolate beasts were crushed to powder in front of him, or how many demon kings fell at his hands. Yang Le's mind was turbulent, his eyes blazing red as he slaughtered wildly. At this moment, a fierce death threat surged forth, and Yang Le frantically activated the "Opening Heaven and Earth Decision", immediately sinking into endless darkness.
