Chapter 1221: 850 Cang Jie_2

This Great Sage is definitely not comparable to the likes of mixed-breed Great Sages like Sun Wukong. The substance is as different as the glow of fireflies to the sun and moon, they are not to be mentioned in the same breath.

"Great Sage, in your opinion, should I turn back now and wipe out those nine clans as well? Otherwise, haven’t I worked hard all this time only to make a wedding dress for all the tribes?"

Jiang Chen consults Cang Jie with a touch of annoyance.

Ever since he entered the path of cultivation, he had always taken advantage of others. When had others taken advantage of him? The Quasi-Saints of the nine clans were killed by him, so naturally, their spoils should belong to him.

In such a case, if the nine clans were to be destroyed by all tribes, would that not mean they were taking advantage of Jiang Chen and plundering his spoils of war?

"The resources of the nine clans, although mostly concentrated in the hands of the Quasi-Saints, the leftovers are not insignificant. If used by our Human Race, they could cultivate dozens of Quasi-Saints for us."

"Such an abundance of resources, if plundered by all tribes, would indeed be improper."

Cang Jie, the Great Sage, pondered for a while before speaking slowly. Even someone as composed as him couldn’t help but be tempted by the accumulation of the nine powerful clans over countless years.

"Among the nine clans, the Yi Clan is the strongest. Not to mention anything else, but the innate indestructible light in the center of the Light Realm, I have long coveted it. It’s said to be related to the Chaos Demigod, a broken fragment of a Demon God’s True Spirit, containing the supreme mysteriousness of Primordial Chaos."

"Whether the rumors are true or not is uncertain, but bathing in this light is indeed known to increase the success rate of a cultivator becoming an Innate Dao Monarch or even a Taoist Master."

"Such a treasure, yet it does not belong to the Human Race. Every time I think of this, my heart aches, but today I finally see the opportunity."

Another Quasi-Saint spoke up, revealing a strong interest in the Dao light deep within the Light Realm.

"The Yi Clan’s domain is known as the Yin and Yang Dao Realm, said to be a Holy Land transformed from the Original Source of Yin and Yang, extremely profound, filled with the innate essence of creation from Yin and Yang."

"Mortals who simply live there, even without doing anything, will naturally attain the realm of immortal."

"Moreover, it’s said that deep within the Yin and Yang Dao Realm flows a river formed by the Dao Rhyme of Yin and Yang, which can aid in comprehending the essence of Heaven and Earth. Bathing in it throughout the year similarly increases the chances of breaking through to become a Taoist Master."

A Quasi-Saint, recalling the fallen ancient ancestor of the Yi Clan, spoke up.

And this, like some kind of signal, prompted the rest of the Quasi-Saints to speak up one after another, detailing the treasures of the remaining seven clans.

The Human Race and the multitude of tribes had been in a long standoff, so their understanding of each other was exceptionally deep. They were quite clear about the treasures each possessed.

Clearly, the Quasi-Saints of the Human Race had been coveting these treasures for more than just a day or two, or they would not have been able to describe the features and functions of these treasures so familiarly. It was obvious that they had kept them in mind for a long time and spoke of them readily.

"The wealth of all tribes is truly staggering!"

After hearing everyone’s descriptions, Jiang Chen was quite moved. Indeed, all tribes had such a longstanding heritage in the Chaos World because they had substantial foundations.

The strength of a race is not only reflected in the number of its powerful beings and the quantity of Innate Spiritual Treasures but is also reflected in the resources they control.

Resources include various special secret realms as well as Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, Innate Spirit Roots, and so on.

The amount of resources determines the future of a race. The more resources they control, the more experts they can cultivate for the future.

Just like the Demon Clan controls the Boundless Starry Sky and the Heaven Court, these are the resources they control, providing them with an inexhaustible supply of treasures, and that’s the reason for the Demon Clan’s strength.

Similarly, treasures like the innate indestructible light and the Yin and Yang Dao Realm, controlled by all tribes, are their resources and their foundation.

These resources, though not as immediately powerful as Innate Spiritual Treasures and cannot be turned into combat power, can cultivate a relentless stream of strong warriors, keeping a race strong and thriving.

What the Human Race lacks is precisely such resources, or rather, such a foundation.

Of course, this isn’t to say that the resources currently controlled by the Human Race are fewer than all tribes. In fact, the Human Race controls far more resources than all tribes.

But similarly, the number of experts among the Human Race far exceeds that of all tribes. This leads to the current situation where the resources controlled by the Human Race can no longer support the birth of more experts.

The Human Race, if it wanted to continue to strengthen, could not do without resources, so curbing expenditures was impossible, only increasing revenue was feasible. The resources currently controlled by all other tribes were precisely the targets for the Human Race to tap into.

It was all because the Witch and Ghost tribes had fought too fiercely back then, shattering the otherwise intact Prehistoric World. Otherwise, given the territory the Human Race now controlled, how could resources ever be insufficient?

"If we could gather the resources of the myriad tribes for the benefit of our Human Race alone, then our Human Race might well stand shoulder to shoulder with the Witch and Ghost tribes in the future,"

Jiang Chen pondered, unable to help but make such a reflection.

The wealth of the Witch and Ghost tribes was simply beyond imagination, adding up all the resources currently controlled by the myriad tribes and the Human Race, they would just barely match those two tribes. This showed the sheer abundance of resources the two possessed, truly inexhaustible and unending.

No wonder those two tribes were so powerful. They fought all the time, yet they could still gather tens of thousands of living Innate Dao Sovereigns, and if we counted those who had already fallen, the number would be even higher.

A Great Divine Transcendent once said that the resources controlled by the Witch and Ghost tribes accounted for sixty percent of the Prehistoric World at that time.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Chen felt that if he were a Saint himself, he too would be tempted to take down the Witch and Ghost tribes.

Damn, it really was too enviable!

...

"The vast resources of the nine tribes are not just about cultivating a few dozen more Innate Dao Sovereigns for our Human Race. In the long run, these can enhance the foundation of our tribe, enabling us to birth even more powerful beings in the future,"

"Therefore, the resources of the nine tribes must not be abandoned by our Human Race."

After much deliberation, Cang Jie the Great ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation of the nine tribes’ resources and decided to take action against them.

"I was thinking the same. The nine tribes were conquered by our Human Race, how can we let them go to other tribes?"

"Great Saint, while the multitude of tribes have yet to react, we shall launch a surprise attack now, catching them off guard. Let’s divide our forces into nine routes and flatten the nine tribes,"

Having looked at the Human Race Quasi-Saints beside him, Jiang Chen spoke.

Excluding himself, there were a total of thirty-six Quasi-Saints present. Dividing the forces into nine routes, that would mean four Quasi-Saints per route. Four Quasi-Saints working together to exterminate a tribe with no Quasi-Saints was simply a matter of moments, wasn’t it?

Did they really think all the tribes were top-tier powerhouses, wielding top-tier Innate Formations, capable of resisting Quasi-Saints with a few Taoist Masters joining forces?

That was a grand joke.

The ability for Innate Dao Sovereigns to contend with Quasi-Saints was granted to very few, and those were well-counted, mostly held by the top powers, or the once-glorious forces like the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan.

As for the myriad tribes, aside from the top few, very few owned formations of such calibre, and even if they did, eighty percent were tailor-made for them by the Heavenly Emperor.

Thinking they can contend with the Human Race was simply laughable.

"This cannot be done!"

After giving the order, as Jiang Chen and the others were about to take action, Cang Jie the Great hurriedly advised against it.

"Human King, you must not do this. We have just agreed to cease hostilities, and the anger of the alliance of myriad tribes has not yet subsided. If we reignite the flames of war now, we cannot guarantee that the alliance will not, in a burst of rage, declare an all-out war against our Human Race."

"Therefore, we can attack the nine tribes, but it cannot be us going to war. Let the Innate Dao Sovereigns below do it, consider it a rehearsal for the upcoming assault on the myriad tribes."

Cang Jie thought things through much more comprehensively than Jiang Chen, not only considering the gains and losses of one person, but also the perspective of the entire tribe.

"What the Great Saint says makes sense!"

Jiang Chen realized this was true. The Quasi-Saints of the myriad tribes were already seething with anger today; there was no need to provoke them further. If they were truly pushed to declare full-scale war against the Human Race, that would be troublesome.
