Chapter Sixteen: The Blood Glow of the Ninth Lei, Da Wu Xi You

  But it is said that in the eastern part of the Nanji Zhou, there lived a people called the Dongyi, who were a branch of humanity. Among the Dongyi, there was a great tribe known as the Jiuli. Thirty years ago, the Jiuli tribe gave birth to a child, which coincided with the time when Xuan Yuan was born. At that time, there was a great change in heaven and earth, and for a thousand miles around, all was dark. In the clouds, red and black lightning flashed and intertwined, and a bloody light descended upon the Jiuli tribe. Moreover, ten thousand ghosts wailed in the sky, frightening the people of the tribe so much that they were terrified and dared not come out, closing their doors and windows tightly to hide at home.

  This continued for three days, and only then did the strange phenomenon disperse. However, the wife of the tribal chief of the Jiuli tribe gave birth to a horned child, whose cries shook the heavens and dispersed the floating clouds in the sky. The infant was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his voice loud and clear, his limbs strong and sturdy, and horns on his head. The tribal chief was overjoyed, believing that Heaven had sent him a divine son, and named him Chi You, placing all his hopes on Chi You.

  Chi You was born with divine strength, and at a young age he became famous in the tribe for his great power. The Dongyi people were fond of war, and the Jiuli tribe was no exception. Every time Chi You competed in martial arts within the tribe, he emerged victorious, and as a person, he was exceptionally bold and generous. Those warriors admired him for his bravery, and thus they followed his words and plans. At a young age, he already had high prestige in the tribe, and the tribal leader was overjoyed, secretly sighing that the Jiuli tribe finally had a worthy successor!

  Chi You was born with great divine power, able to manipulate the elemental forces between heaven and earth. What made his tribesmen even more respectful was that his physical body was extremely robust, let alone ordinary blades, even divine weapons couldn't leave a single mark on him, all said he was a heavenly being!

  Beijiu Luzhou is one of the four continents after the Great War between Sorcerers and Demons. When Nüwa repaired the sky, she cut off the four legs of the Xuanwu turtle to establish the four poles, and casually threw its remaining body into the lower realm, which happened to be in Beijiu Luzhou. As a result, the beautiful mountains and rivers of this continent were polluted by the turtle's corpse, causing it to become infested with poisonous insects and filled with toxic gases, driving away all spiritual beasts. Only the ancient ferocious beasts that survived from the primordial era and the demon gods who survived the Great War between Sorcerers and Demons can survive and thrive here. The remnants of the Sorcerer tribe, which once dominated the vast continent, also live here.

  In the depths of the dense forest west of Beijiu Island, a majestic and desolate great hall stands tall. The great hall covers an area of one hundred miles, with a grand and solemn atmosphere, its towering eaves reaching into the clouds. Surrounding it are twelve other great halls of different colors and styles, making it stand out like a crane among chickens. It seems as if some kind of power is surrounding the entire temple, causing all living things within a radius of ten thousand miles to disappear, not even those powerful demons that once roamed the wilderness dare to enter this area casually.

  With a creak, the heavy gate slowly opened, startling the crowd that had been anxiously waiting outside. From the shadows of the gate emerged a figure holding a staff, his entire body radiating power and determination in every step - it was none other than Xing Tian, the great shaman who had remained stationed at the Ancestral Shaman Temple since the Great War against the Witch Demons.

  Jiufeng and Liufeng hurriedly surrounded him, asking urgently: "What's going on?"

  Xing Tian's mouth curled up with a hint of a smile, saying: "Just now, I used my tribe's untransmitted secret technique to calculate that in the eastern part of Nan Zhan Bu Zhou, a great witch of our tribe was born. However, his power has not yet awakened. Feng Bo and Yu Shi, you two set off immediately to Nan Zhan Bu Zhou, find that great witch and bring him back. I will use my tribe's secret method to awaken the bloodline in his body, letting him thoroughly obtain the power of a great witch. Nowadays, it is difficult to find a great witch of our tribe, but finally one has appeared. You two must be careful in your search, do not miss him!"

  Feng Bo and Yu Shi simultaneously replied seriously, "We understand!" Then they bid farewell to the crowd and traveled through mountains and waters, heading east towards the southern continent of Zhuan. After inquiring about their whereabouts at many places, they finally arrived at the Jiuli tribe three days later, feeling the familiar Wu tribe aura inside. The two exchanged a smile and walked into the tribe together.

  Chi You's heart was stirred today, as if the deep string in his heart had been touched by something. He couldn't calm down for a long time, and suddenly he felt a movement in his heart. He walked out of his wooden house and looked forward, only to see two people walking towards him. The aura emitted from their bodies made him feel familiar yet strange, but extremely intimate.

  Chi You was filled with suspicion, a feeling he had never experienced from birth to now. He cautiously walked up to the two of them and asked: "Who are you? Why have you come to my Jiuli tribe?"

  "It doesn't matter who we are," replied Feng Bo, "what matters is that we have come for you."

  Chi You furrowed his brow and said: "What brings you all to find me?"

  The Rain Master smiled and said: "Follow us on a trip, don't worry, this trip will be very beneficial for you!"

  Chi You narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What if I don't go?"

  Feng Bo and Yu Shi smiled simultaneously, saying: "This is not something you can control!" As soon as he finished speaking, he punched towards Chi You. Chi You was about to dodge, but suddenly discovered that his body was fixed in place by a powerful force, unable to avoid it. Gnashing his teeth, he summoned all his strength and launched a double-fisted attack at the two of them, with threads of energy seemingly tearing through space. The two of them smiled disdainfully, increasing their power, and heavily struck Chi You's fists, instantly sending him flying dozens of miles away, creating a massive crater.

  The two of them quickly arrived at the edge of the pit, picked up Chi You who had already fainted, and without further delay headed north to the Zu Zhou ancestral temple.

  One day later, they finally returned to the Zu Wu Temple and saw Xing Tian, Jiu Feng, and Xiang Liu waiting outside the temple gate. The two said: "Fortunately, we did not disappoint your orders! We have brought the person back." After speaking, they shook Chi You awake from his daze.

  Chi You slowly opened his blurry eyes, and with one glance, he saw the five people surrounding him, including Feng Bo Yu Shi, who had knocked him out with a single punch. Recalling that devastating blow still made his heart tremble to this day. From birth till now, he had always been the most superior in his tribe, no one could match him. But just a simple punch had brought him down, making it hard for him to accept. At the same time, he knew the people before him were not ones he could resist at present.

  Chi You gazed coldly at the five, though defeated, he was the future leader of the Jiuli tribe, he was Chi You, that fearless and invincible Chi You! Even in a precarious situation, he would never yield!

  Xing Tian gazed silently at the stubborn Chi You, secretly praising: Indeed a good seedling!

  Xingtian ignored Chiyou and began to speak to himself: "After Pangu, the great god, opened up the sky and earth, there were two major tribes that ruled the entire Hongyuan world. One was called Wu, and the other was called Yao. There were countless gods in both tribes who possessed supernatural powers. Other gods with supernatural powers were intimidated by the power of these two tribes and did not dare to be their enemies. Even the Hunyuan Saint in the chaos did not dare to show off his edge. What a magnificent scene! What an overbearing manner! However, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Neither tribe was willing to submit to the other, and after a great war, they almost exhausted their energy and withdrew from the stage of dominating heaven and earth. They retreated to the desolate and barren North Qushan Island." After finishing speaking, he let out a melancholy sigh. The other four people also fell silent at the same time.

  Chi You said: "I am well aware of this, the great war between the witches and the demons broke the Honghuang world and became the present Dixian realm. What does this have to do with you capturing me?"

  Xing Tian's eyes suddenly burst out with a dazzling color, he stared tightly at Chi You and said word by word: "Because the blood of the Wu tribe is flowing in your body, and we are the only remaining great witches after the war between the Wu and the Yao!"

  Chi You was shocked, he seemed stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

  Xing Tian knew he didn't believe, and said: "I know you were born from the human tribe, but I'm sure the blood flowing through your body is definitely the witch tribe's bloodline. Although I don't understand why people of my witch tribe would be born from the human tribe, Pan Gu's great temple won't deceive me. If you don't believe it, follow me inside and you'll know!" After speaking, he entered the temple first. Chi You hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the call in his heart, and followed him into the temple. The nine phoenixes, Xiang Liu, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi stood guard outside the temple.

  Three days later, a black aura burst out from the northwest of Beiqiu Zhou, shooting straight up into the sky. The sky above Beiqiu Zhou was suddenly filled with dark clouds, and red and black lightning flashed and boomed in the high air. The boundless aura rushed towards Dou Niu, not only startling the Jade Emperor in Heaven and all the great gods in the Immortal Realm, but also startling the saints in the 33rd heaven and the primordial chaos.

  The Great Red Sky, the Eight Scenic Palace. The Supreme Old Lord looked down at the lower realm with a calm gaze, furrowed his brow, and then closed his eyes again to comprehend the great Tao.

  The sky was clear and the palace of Miroku was filled with splendor. Yuanshi Tianzun smiled with satisfaction, ordered Baihe Tongzi to strike the golden bell, and summoned the eleven Golden Immortals under his door: "The human race is about to face a great disaster, you can go down the mountain now to help the Human Emperor complete this merit!" The eleven Golden Immortals hastily responded, bid farewell to Yuanshi Tianzun, and went down the mountain together. Randeng Daoren saw that Yuanshi Tianzun did not allow himself to go down the mountain, but had some complaints in his heart, yet he dared not show it on his face, also bid farewell to Yuanshi Tianzun and returned to Lingjiu Mountain Yuanjue Cave.

  Several sighs echoed from both the Imperial Heaven and the Huoyun Palace at the same time, gradually fading away.

  When the strange phenomenon dissipated, only to see the gate of the great hall wide open, Xing Tian and Chi You came out together. The four of them looked at each other, only to see that at this moment, Chi You's eyes occasionally flashed with a bloody light, his muscles were tense, and it seemed that there was a powerful force bursting out from inside him. As they were all great shamans, they naturally knew that Chi You had obtained the body of a great shaman, possessed the divine power of a great shaman, and were overjoyed!

  Chi You gazed out at the south, with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.

  It is: Jiuli Chiyou will become a great shaman, and the human tribe will be in great chaos again.
