Chapter 69: The Witch Tribe Rises

  "Heart peaceful has seen the introduction of the saint, but doesn't know what important business the saint has come for?"

  "Heh heh, fellow Taoist should know that the world has been at peace for a long time since the war against the witch demons. Although there is no great disaster, the killing aura among humans will soon arrive. I wonder if you have any plans?"

  "What plans can I have? Being able to barely survive in this six-path reincarnation is already a blessing from heaven, what other extravagant hopes can I have?"

  "Qing Xin Dao You, you're cheating me! If it weren't for your secret help, how could Chi You be reborn as a human?"

  Calmly listen to the introduction of Chi You, and with a cold face, "Is it that you don't want to let go of even a bit of the Wu tribe's bloodline?"

  "Haha, Fellow Daoist Ping Xin misunderstood. In my opinion, Chi You has been reborn as a human and is already part of the human tribe. Now is a rare opportunity, and the struggle for the Human Emperor position is a heaven-sent chance."

  "Fellow Taoists, don't deceive me, Guang Chengzi and other Golden Immortals have already begun to assist the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. The position of Human Emperor is not already taken? You wouldn't want the Wu tribe to be the ones to bear the knife as the destined sacrifice, would you?"

  "The matters of the vast and desolate land are not something that can be decided by one person alone. The struggle for the Human Emperor's throne is about who can truly gain the recognition of the human tribe, this is the key to the great calamity. If Chi You can achieve this, then letting the Pangu bloodline flow among the human tribe isn't a bad thing."

  "I am inseparable from this world of reincarnation, if the Primordial Heavenly Lord were to take action, perhaps everything would be in vain."

  "This is not a catastrophe of heaven and earth, the saint can only guide from behind, but cannot directly take action. The Human Emperor is chosen by the human race, not appointed by the saints, especially this third Human Emperor, must be recognized by the human race. Moreover, we will not let him come in recklessly."

  He listened calmly to the words of guidance, lowered his head in contemplation, and after a while, he raised his head again.

  "I humbly ask, esteemed guide of saints, what are the chances of our witch clan's victory this time?"

  "Also, let's just say that I'm not hiding anything from you, fellow Taoist. The outcome is less than 40% certain, and it all depends on Chi You himself. Let's see how he decides."

  "Thanks for telling me, fellow Taoist. I'll discuss it with the Wu tribe again. After all, I'm no longer the Ancestor Witch, so they should have a say in what happens."

  "Alright." Ping Xin had already made up his mind, and he was afraid that he himself would be swayed. If the witch tribe could make a big move, it might not be impossible to compete with the Yan Sect. He had already guessed that these witches would not be willing to remain silent, and this was something that even Ping Xin couldn't stop. The witches were different from the demon tribe; they didn't have that kind of reverence for the heavenly way. Even if there was only a 1% chance, it would be enough to make them go all out.

  He has his own calculations in mind, regardless of whether the witch tribe wins or loses, it is beneficial to himself. The witch tribe wants to win and must get close to the saint, get the support of the saint, can truly contend with the Yan Jiao teaching. In other words, they have to lean towards him, even if the witch tribe fails, he won't lose out either. He can just shift the blame for cutting off the Pangu bloodline to the disciples of the Yan Jiao teaching, this huge karma is enough to make them unable to mix with the origin, and lay down the seeds for the next great calamity of the seal of the gods. He doesn't lose out no matter what, turns around and leaves the six paths of reincarnation, returns to Mount Sumeru.

  Hou Yi followed the guide's instructions and came directly to Pangu Hall. At this time, Pangu Hall was no longer as prosperous as it was when it was the holy land of the Wu tribe, but rather desolate and bleak. There were still a few great witches sitting here, propping up their last dignity, led by Da Wu Xing Tian.

  Hou Yi had just refined the Pangu essence, at this time he had already broken through to the Zu Wu realm, and his yuan Shen had also reached the Jin Xian realm. Looking around the vast expanse of the universe, he was now a powerful force to be reckoned with.

  Hou Yi arrived at the Zu Wu Temple, and it happened that someone was visiting Xing Tian. When Hou Yi was welcomed into the temple by Xing Tian, he saw a young man sitting upright on the main seat, looking like he was in his twenties. Hou Yi vaguely felt that he had seen him somewhere before.

  "Hou Yi's brother, don't you recognize me?"

  Hou Yi immediately felt extremely familiar with this voice "Are you Chi You's ancestor?"

  "That's right, I narrowly escaped with my life and was reborn as a human. On the other hand, brother, you've already broken through to the Ancestral Witch realm, truly worthy of congratulations."

  "It was just luck, all thanks to Master's help." Hou Yi finally acknowledged it.

  The ancestor witch has a very special meaning among the witch tribe, and Hou Yi's ability to become the ancestor witch is now the natural leader of the witch tribe. Xing Tian also found that Hou Yi seems to be unfathomable, but his vision is not as good as Chi You, who was once the ancestor witch, and now he is extremely excited when he hears that Hou Yi has become the ancestor witch.

  "Chi You's ancestor is alive, and now Hou Yi has also become the ancestor, it seems that our Wu tribe has a chance to prosper."

  "Xing Tian, I don't think so. Now the era is different, the saints rule the world, and humans are the main characters of heaven and earth. It's too difficult for the witch tribe to prosper, being able to preserve their bloodline without losing it is already good." Hou Yi had been in Mount Sumeru for a long time, and he was very clear about the calculations between various sects. Who doesn't know the prospects of the witch tribe? Being able to barely survive is already good enough.

  "That's right, Hou Yi said it correctly, the Wu tribe is indeed difficult to restore its former prosperity. However, this is a rare opportunity now. I have learned from Hou Tu Zu Wu that the human race is currently having a catastrophe and will select one person as the Human Emperor, which is a great opportunity for us."

  Xiang Tian did not understand the meaning of Chi You's words, but Hou Yi understood them extremely clearly.

  "Chi You, do you want to become the Human Emperor?"

  "No problem, I am now a thoroughbred human, why can't I seize the throne of the Human Emperor? I've thought about it long ago. After seizing the position of the Human Emperor, I will merge the bloodline of the Witch tribe with that of the human race. We did this before to increase our population, but now I want to make the two bloodlines one. With the power of the Witch tribe's bloodline, the human race will definitely be under our control, and it can also be said that we are barely restoring the glory of the Witch tribe." Chi You said with great enthusiasm.

  Hou Yi was frightened upon hearing this, Chi You's plan was not to be underestimated, he didn't just want to seize the human throne, but also thoroughly reform the human bloodline, this was no trivial matter. Hou Yi couldn't help but think of the various saints again, would those saints give the Shu tribe this opportunity? Hou Yi was extremely skeptical.

  "Chi You, if you want to seize the human emperor's throne, I see it as possible, but you can only do so with a human identity. Even if it's just for the sake of venting for the Wu tribe, the chances of success are slim, and it's barely worth trying. However, altering your bloodline is absolutely out of the question. The various saints are not something we can contend against. You should still think thrice before acting."

  After hearing Hou Yi's words, Chi You not only looked up at the sky and laughed loudly.

  "After becoming the Patriarch, I didn't expect you to become more timid. What about the various saints? This time, they can't take action, at most they'll make some moves behind our backs. What's there to be afraid of? In the Six Paths' cycle of reincarnation, we still have nearly a hundred powerful witches and tens of millions of clan members. The so-called Twelve Upper Immortals are not even worth mentioning. As long as I proceed step by step and plan carefully, I will definitely be able to create a new heaven and earth for the Witch Clan."

  Chi You's words were very inspiring, Xing Tian listened to his side and was boiling with enthusiasm, while Hou Yi was very uneasy, always feeling that something was not reliable.

  "Hou Yi, are you still the warlike and earth-shaking Witch Tribe? I think after you became a disciple, you lost your blood nature." Chi You somewhat looked down on Hou Yi's cautiousness. She herself was no longer an ancestral witch, while Hou Yi was the only ancestral witch of the Witch Tribe and their hope. How could he be so timid? So she couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

  "Alas, it's not that Hou Yi is timid, the Great Way is mysterious and unfathomable. Now that I've caught a glimpse of it, I've already benefited greatly. The workings of Heaven are infinitely complex, how can one person's power forcibly reverse them? It seems that Emperor Jiang and the ancestral witches also lost their reverent hearts, which led to their downfall. We are far inferior to our heyday, and our opponents are all saints, much stronger than the demonic tribes of old. I dare not act rashly."

  Hou Yi truly had a moment of insight, and only when he was by the side of the Saint did he gain a slight understanding of the Saint's methods. In the past, the You tribe had indeed been self-aggrandizing.

  Chi You heard this and became angry, saying "These are all inauspicious words!"

  "Hou Yi, even if I have to risk my life, I'll take a chance. If you're afraid, I won't force you. This time I came to Zu Wu Temple is to retrieve something, if you're interested, feel free to come and see."

  Hou Yi and Xing Tian were shocked when they heard that Chi You wanted to take something, and they both thought of the same thing: Pangu's heart.

  In the distant past, after Pangu fell, his body transformed into all things, and a heart flowed down, which was preserved in the Ancestral Witch Temple. At that time, the ancestral witches and the demon tribe fought desperately, leaving Pangu's heart in the Ancestral Witch Temple, using secret methods to seal it deep within the grand hall, all for the purpose of suppressing the aura and ensuring the continuation of the witch clan's bloodline.

  Chi You now wants this treasure, and Hou Yi and Xingtian are both shocked.

  "Chi You, think thrice!" Hou Yi was unwilling for Chi You to use this treasure, but also didn't want to see the Wu tribe in such a state of limbo. He was deeply conflicted and unsure what to do.

  Xing Tian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

  "I will have a measure of it, if I don't have this treasure, my cultivation will be hard to improve quickly, and there's no way to compete with the people of the Yan Sect. In the future, if we want to change the human bloodline, we can't do without this treasure either. I hope brothers will help me out."

  Xing Tian and Hou Yi struggled in their hearts, but they couldn't think of a reason to refuse. The three of them arrived at the depths of the Zu Wu Temple, entering an empty palace. They stood before a massive wall, together activating the witch tribe's secret method. Gradually, the massive wall turned transparent, revealing a fist-sized heart suspended in mid-air by threads of blood.

  This heart was still beating faintly, extremely regularly, the entire heart was still a bright red color, as if it were still alive, a powerful life force was hidden within, making Hou Yi's eyes widen in shock.

  Hou Yi felt an immense pressure from Pangu's heart, and at the same time, a call from his bloodline was born. Hou Yi seemed to recall what Jiying said about fate, and it seems that this Pangu's heart is not Chiyou's fate, but rather his own.

  Chi You stretched out his hand and took the heart of Pangu in his hand. Suddenly, Chi You's face changed drastically, as if he had grasped a hedgehog. Looking again at Chi You's hands, all the flesh was stripped off, with blood and flesh blurred together, and white bones faintly visible. The sight was extremely frightening. On Chi You's forehead appeared beads of sweat the size of beans, and he barely managed to hold back his cries.
