Chapter Seventy-Five: Unwilling to be Lonely

  The remaining You tribes were swept away, Chi You lost this force, the situation on the battlefield changed greatly. The Yellow Emperor deployed a ten-faced ambush formation, eighty-one giant drums beating loudly, shaking the sky and resounding for thousands of miles. On the vast battlefield, troops were inspired by the drumbeats, morale soaring high, weapons raised in their hands, emitting dazzling cold light, surrounding the entire Jiuli army, the situation precarious.

  The Yellow Emperor now knew that the strategy was successful, so he turned around and returned to fight against Chi You again. Chi You already knew that he had thoroughly failed, the witch tribe's army was completely annihilated, the nine Li tribes' army although elite, but many of them were dissatisfied with Chi You's brutal slaughter of the human tribe, secretly supporting the Yellow Emperor. Now the Yellow Emperor's army occupied a huge numerical advantage, Chi You's defeat and death was imminent.

  The lamp was lit, and Guang Chengzi brought a group of immortals to the battlefield, surrounding Chi You in a circle. The Yellow Emperor's Xuanyuan sword burst out with unprecedented brilliance, its energy surging violently, and it actually cut off Chi You's battle knife with one stroke. This battle knife, although not a magic treasure, was also a fine product forged by the Shu tribe, sturdy and sharp, having accompanied Chi You for a long time, and in the great war between the Shu and the demons, it had drunk the blood of many powerful demons, and more than half of the ten great demon saints had lost their lives under this knife.

  Chi You looked at the broken sword, and his heart was filled with sorrow. The last bit of power of the Wu tribe had been lost in this great war. Chi You had not brought the Wu tribe back to its former glory, but instead had almost severed its legacy. Chi You let out a long sigh, and his body quickly grew larger as he transformed into his true form as the Great Shaman.

  Chi You was reborn as a member of the human tribe, which made him eligible to contend with the Yellow Emperor. Now that he has revealed his true form as a great witch, he has abandoned everything about being a member of the human tribe and is now just a great witch Chi You, losing the recognition of the human tribe.

  The numerous Golden Immortals saw the situation and knew that Chi You was thoroughly finished, now he's just struggling before death. The various Great Immortals' treasured artifacts were all brought out together to suppress Chi You, but Chi You had originally wanted to rely on his true body as a great shaman to put up one last fight, never expecting to be injured even more severely by the numerous magical artifacts.

  Fántiān yìn is the transformation of Bànjué Mountain, and Bànjué Mountain is the transformation of Pángǔ's spine. It has a restraining effect on the Wū tribe from birth, especially now that Xiāngyóu has lost all his energy and was severely injured in an instant. The Venerable Wénshū saw the opportunity and used the Dúnlóng pillar to trap Xiāngyóu.

  Chi You actually broke through the Great Witch's boundary at this critical moment, and half of his foot stepped into the Ancestral Witch's boundary. His combat power surged violently, and these magical treasures almost couldn't control him anymore.

  The Yellow Emperor, not wanting to let his old opponent escape, gritted his teeth and swung the Xuanyuan sword in his hand, splitting Chi You's body apart. However, Chi You's physical body had already approached the realm of Zu Wu, which was beyond the Yellow Emperor's power to destroy. Even the cultivators present at the scene were unable to do so. Only a saint or someone with the ability to kill and suppress evil could have done it. Now, the Yellow Emperor and his companions had no choice but to divide Chi You's corpse into pieces and seal them in different parts of the world.

  No matter what, the calamity has ended, but whether it was Huangdi or the Twelve Golden Immortals of Tianjie, they all felt deeply exhausted. In the late stages of the great war, Huangdi's army had almost exterminated the tribesmen of the Jiuli clan who were inclined towards Chiyou. The heavy slaughter made it difficult for Huangdi to attain enlightenment at that time, so he could only stay in the mortal world and continue to serve humanity, to repay his karma.

  The Golden Immortal of the Xuan Teaching also bore a huge karma due to his excessive killing and extermination of the Witch tribe's bloodline, as well as luring the Shura out of the world. However, the influence of the Xuan Teaching Golden Immortal was also produced, and the Xuan Teaching was considered by humans to be the orthodox inheritance. The Great Teaching's prosperity was unmatched for a time, thanks to the assistance of the Original Heavenly Venerable's aura, which greatly advanced his Taoist practice. Nevertheless, his disciples bore huge karma and found it difficult to produce a person who could slay corpses.

  The Medicine Buddha of Buddhism and the multiple treasures of the Intercepting Teachings were all assisting the Human Emperor after beheading a corpse, but Guang Chengzi, although he had also obtained merits, was also carrying a huge karma, finding it difficult to behead the corpse. Gradually, dissatisfaction grew in his heart, planting the seeds for the fragmentation of the Expounding Teachings. The Lamp-Lighting Wayman, although not having taken much action, also incurred karma and thus slowed down his progress on the Taoist path, giving rise to external distractions.

  In the midst of calamity, there are also great gains. For example, Xuandu broke through his heart knot, beheaded the evil corpse, and achieved quasi-sainthood. Zhao Gongming performed extremely well, helped Huangdi, and had his aura enhanced, reaching the perfect state of Daluo Jinxian. He obtained the respect of Tongtian's vessel and became a representative of the later generation of Quanjiao disciples, with great influence in Quanjiao.

  The Jade Emperor knew that the three Huang's calamity was about to end, next is the five emperors' reign, then it will be the Heaven and Earth Grand Calamity, the Investiture of the Gods War, now we must plan carefully.

  This calamity mainly targets the second-generation disciples. If you think about it, among his own disciples, Medicine Master beheaded two corpses, and with a bit of effort, he can condense the second Sheli pearl. Although it's not as good as truly beheading two corpses, it's still a real quasi-saint cultivation. Xuan Cheng is also in seclusion beheading corpses. After Hou Yi's seventh transformation, not counting his magical treasures, his combat power is second only to that of a Saint. They absolutely won't have any problems during the Great Calamity; at most, they'll just use this opportunity to temper their minds in the mundane world and prepare for the next step on their path.

  Looking down at the Maitreya, he had already beheaded a corpse and achieved the state of Zhun Sheng. With the treasure in his hand, he could rival the Primordial Great Power. Even if he couldn't win, he could protect himself. Among the Buddha's personally transmitted disciples, only Moonlight and Sunlight hadn't beheaded corpses, but they had also reached the Mahayana state. The two were now diligently taking care of things on Mount Sumeru, and were good kids. Although their innate qualities were slightly inferior, Maitreya and Zhun Ti could still protect them. After all, this great calamity was not mainly aimed at the Buddhist sect.

  However, the guide threw his gaze towards the outer gate. Now, the Western world upholds the idea of universal salvation, and many people enter the gate, but some are not quite good. The guide drove these people to the outer gate and handed them over to the Queen Mother of the West to govern. These people must be screened through a great calamity; otherwise, this pure land would be polluted.

  Jieyin carefully calculated the number of seals, and Zhunti was not idle either. He had collected some Asura tribe people by the Naihe River and was explaining the true meaning of Buddhism to them every day. These Asuras had all become devout Buddhist followers. Now, coincidentally, the Six Paths of Reincarnation had just been devastated by the death and injury of the Wu tribe, leaving no one in charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

  Moreover, it was just after the great disaster, countless deaths and injuries, the cycle of rebirth almost came to a halt. Ananda sent these Asuras together to Ksitigarbha's command, letting them assist Ksitigarbha in guarding the cycle of rebirth. Now that the Wu tribe is no longer there, these Asura tribes just fill the gap, and Ping Xin will be lifted up, the influence of Buddhism in the land of the cycle of rebirth is growing day by day.

  At this time, Laozi and Tongtian also discovered that the Six Paths of Reincarnation was a good place to accumulate merit and expand their sect's influence. They couldn't help but drool at the prospect, but it was already too late. The Buddhist forces had already taken shape, and Laozi didn't have anyone useful under his command. His original disciples were all in the realm of Daluo, which wasn't enough to deal with Dizang and Minghe. After Tongtian and his two brothers fell out, they also didn't want to openly offend Buddhism, or else it would be dangerous.

  Tongtian, the leader of the Tongtian Sect, carefully considered his situation and realized that although his sect was the strongest in the Primordial Chaos, he was still alone and outnumbered. After careful consideration, he knew that possessing the Hunyuan Bell did not guarantee his safety. Therefore, Tongtian decided to retreat and cultivate his divine powers, so that when the time came, he could truly contend with the Two Saints of the Western Regions, as well as Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi.

  All the major sects had their own plans and restrained their activities. However, at this time, one person jumped out, that is, Haotian who ascended to the throne of Tian Emperor. Haotian and Yaochi worked hard to establish the Heavenly Court, but there were no capable people under him. There was only one qualified Taibai Jinxing who was willing to surrender to Haotian.

  Tai Bai Jin Xing was born extremely early, second only to those innate great gods. Since Emperor Jun and Tai Yi occupied the heavenly court, he has been following these two. During the Great War of Witchcraft, the old man escaped first, so he has been carefree until now. Tai Bai Jin Xing is an old and cunning person who sees things very accurately. He knows that Huang Tian was established by the founder of Taoism, although it's miserable now, but it won't be finished so easily, so he came to surrender voluntarily.

  Hao Tian and Yao Chi were worried that they didn't have enough manpower, so they made Jin Xing their trusted minister. All the major and minor matters of the Heavenly Court were handed over to him for handling. Taibai Jin Xing was also very experienced and helped set up the framework of the Heavenly Court.

  But compared to the year's demon tribe Tian Ting, now not even a small court can be counted, it is pitiful and cold to the extreme. The various saints do not ask about the heavenly court, as if they did not exist in general. The major forces are also disregarded, and the Heavenly Emperor is even more suffocated. However, the Heavenly Emperor is ultimately a wise person who knows that haste makes waste, so he waits patiently for opportunities to make the heavenly court famous and truly enjoy the taste of commanding all directions.

  Huang Tian saw an opportunity when the Xirong tribe's Chi You rose up in arms against the Yellow Emperor, but unexpectedly, the Golden Immortals of the Xuandao and other sects' disciples surrounded the Yellow Emperor tightly, leaving no room for action. Huang Tian shifted his gaze to some scattered Xirong tribes still roaming in the northern part of Honghuang.

  There are not many of these witch tribes, but they are scattered all over the place and do not form a large climate. They all obey the appointment of the Great Witch of the Ancestral Witch Temple. Now there is only one person left in the Ancestral Witch Temple, Xing Tian, who is also closed for bitter practice, so these witch tribes have no leader.

  Haotian was thrilled to discover this, and gathered his troops of less than 10,000 heavenly soldiers, known as the Heavenly Army, with the title of Heavenly General. Under the pretext of the Witch Tribe's loss of virtue, he declared to the world that he would go to the northern part of Honghuang to exterminate the Witch Tribe.

  Jie Yin discovered on Mount Xumi that Huang Tian was still quite clever, which undoubtedly made this his debut battle. The first opponent he chose had a weak enough strength, a loud enough name, and no background. Huang Tian's vision was really good, and soon he annihilated tens of thousands of the Wu tribe, basically purging the North.

  The name of Tian Di first appeared in the impression of Hong Huang cultivators, and various major sects were extremely ashamed of Hao Tian's behavior. Isn't this killing a tiger? The Witch tribe can't even find a great witch now, Hao Tian is also a master of beheading corpses, don't you feel embarrassed?

  Of course, the information revealed behind this also moved the various saints. Haotian is not willing to be a mere pawn and does not want to be a chess piece in the hands of the saints. He wants to have his own power, which makes the saints extremely resentful, especially Yuanshi. They fought bloody battles with the Witch clan, and now Haotian comes out to take advantage of the situation, isn't that a slap in the face?

  But this matter still has an impact, at least in telling the practitioners of Honghuang that apart from saints and a few powerful people, another mountain leader has appeared in Honghuang, although it's smaller, they can also come to rely on.
