Chapter 417: Chapter 105: Tianshu and Shaking Light Descend to the World Together

The dust has settled, and all grace has dispersed.

In the haze, Xingtian’s imposing figure still stands tall before the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Meanwhile, Chi You is pinned to the ground by the White Tiger, struggling in vain and unable to escape.

"Chi You, do you yield now?" Xingtian stepped forward, looking down at Chi You and asked indifferently.

Chi You, still as he ever was, flailed his limbs wildly, but his face appeared strangely stiff.

Feeling a bit puzzled, Xingtian moved forward to gently prod at the struggling Chi You, only to feel like he was poking into soft, yielding mud. His complexion changed instantly.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, that giant axe, which had been blown away, suddenly flashed a dazzling blue light in the Void, making a turn and flying directly toward the Human Dao within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Accompanied by a chilling voice: "Xingtian, you’re just a coward! Not only you, but even Houtu the Ancestor Witch is too! Just wait for me, Chi You, to unify the Huaxia Land and all the Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!"

"Bastard!" Xingtian’s face contorted with rage and shouted, "Chi You, you trickster!"

"Hahaha..."

The giant axe, carrying Chi You’s Great Witch True Spirit, plunged directly into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, leaving behind a series of arrogant laughter.

"Disaster, this is a disaster!" Xingtian’s expression wildly changed, and he rushed toward the Six Paths of Reincarnation, intent on chasing down Chi You.

"Forget it, Xingtian!" Suddenly, a soft voice rang in Xingtian’s ear.

The pristine Earth Queen, emerging from the Void, stepped forward, blocking Xingtian’s path.

"Xingtian pays his respects to Your Majesty!" Xingtian knelt on one knee in shame and said, "It’s all Xingtian’s carelessness that allowed Chi You to escape to the Lower Realm! Xingtian swears to capture Chi You back to the Netherworld!"

Houtu glanced indifferently at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was seated before the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and said, "Let it be! There’s no right or wrong in this world; why cling to it?"

"But, Your Majesty!" Xingtian said anxiously, "Chi You will surely stir up trouble among the Human Clan. We Witches were once comrades with the Human Clan in life and death and honor you as the Holy Mother. If that brute causes a catastrophe, how can we make amends?"

"This is fate, the fate that the Human Emperor must go through!" Houtu waved her innate hand, sending Xingtian back to his tribe, and after one more glance at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, her figure shook and she disappeared from this place of Reincarnation.

In the empty space before the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still looked on emotionlessly, chanting the Sutra of Salvation with a stern voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

...

Several million miles away from the Human Clan’s Sacred Land, Chen Capital, on the banks of the Jishui River, live two ancient tribes—the Youxiong Clan and the You Chongqiao Tribe. For generations, they have taken Water as their family name, intermarried and integrated with each other, and continued to grow.

This year, Shaodian, the leader of the Youxiong Clan, took Fu Bao, a woman from the You Chongqiao Tribe, as his wife.

One day, Shaodian’s wife, Fu Bao, was leaning on the railing on the second floor of her homestead, looking at the moon, when she suddenly noticed the Beidou Seven Stars change position in the sky. The light from the Beidou Seven Stars was blazing bright, with rich Beidou Star Power intertwining and pouring down from the northern sky. To Fu Bao’s amazement, it fell onto the airspace above the Youxiong Clan, with the seven stars shifting positions and gradually forming a seven-star spoon.

With wonder, Fu Bao stepped out onto the five-colored path and looked up to the heavens.

Just then, the Tianshu Star from within the Seven-star spoon suddenly shot down, circling and dancing around the beams before plunging directly into Fu Bao’s abdomen.

Immediately, the starlight centered on Fu Bao brightened gloriously, illuminating the entire Youxiong Clan and alerting the clan leader, Shaodian.

Shaodian hurried back to his homestead, only to see Fu Bao wrapped in a corona of starlight, looking as if a Heavenly Immortal has descended. He stood there in shock for a moment, transfixed.

Once the starlight faded, Fu Bao fainted to the floor. Shaodian rushed to her side, taking her into the homestead. After checking her breathing, which was calm and stable, he knew that Fu Bao had merely fainted.

Breathing a sigh of relief, yet deep in thought, Shaodian wondered what had just transpired.

The descent of Tianshu Star, known by Shennong, the Human Clan’s Shared Ruler, though far in Chen Capital, was already aware. He immediately summoned the respected members of the tribe and the Tribute of the Sacrificial Pavilion to the Great Hall.

Shennong, dressed in a water-blue Daoist robe, addressed the assembly in the hall and said, "Just now, a heavenly phenomenon has occurred; Tianshu Star descended upon our Human Clan, surely a Great Sage is to be born among mortals! You all must go immediately to the Jishui River, over a million miles east of Chen Capital, and locate this Sage!"

The Cultivators of the Sacrificial Pavilion quickly took their orders, "We respectfully obey the Human Emperor’s command!"

Just as they were about to leave, a sweeping red light suddenly crossed the sky. Although it was merely a moment, it likely became known throughout the entire Huaxia Land.

"Your Majesty, what was that just now?" Yun Hu, yet to leave the hall, looked up at Shennong with confusion.

A flash of surprise crossed Shennong’s face, followed by a swift hand calculation. Although not as adept at Innate Calculation as the ancestor of the Eight Diagrams, Fu Xi, Shennong, a Quasi-Saint, still had the Cultivation to deduce general outlines.

But at this moment, the Heavenly Dao was unclear, and the path of deduction was chaotic, making the calculations extremely difficult.

I do not know how long it was, but Shennong suddenly spewed a mouthful of fresh blood and said, "At this moment, the heavenly secrets are in chaos, and I have exhausted my Heart Power to divine some clues. Just now, it was the Shaking Light Star descending into the world; I fear that many years from now, my Human Clan will face new complications!"

"Is that so! Your Majesty, do you know where this calamity originates?" Ling Chen, who had not followed Fu Xi to cultivate in the Fire Cloud Cave, suddenly asked.

Shennong slowly shook his head, "I am not entirely sure, only knowing that the Shaking Light Star comes from the Netherworld, headed towards the Arctic region!"

"I see..." Ling Chen nodded slightly, as if deep in thought.

"Alright, when soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with soil!" Yun Hu laughed heartily, "What calamity to worry about! The Human Clan has survived so many calamities; as long as we clansmen unite and work together, is there any disaster we cannot overcome?"

Shennong also smiled and said, "Indeed, ’Heavenly Dao is strong, gentlemen never stop self-improvement!’ As long as we try our best, we will have no regrets."

Poor Shennong did not know that this calamity would bring misfortune from within the Human Clan itself, and the source of it was within Shennong’s own Lie Mountain Tribe.

In the Arctic region, near the Arctic Ice Plain, there was a strange Human Clan tribe called Jiuli.

This Jiuli Tribe actually had a significant origin.

After the Witch Demon War ended, the Demon Race retreated to Fangzhang and Ying Platform; the Witch Tribe forever guarded the Netherworld. Although the high-end forces had all retired, they still left their legacies on Huaxia Land.

There’s no need to mention the Demon Race, as the millions of wild beasts on Huaxia Land all carried the blood of the Ancient Demon Race. They embedded their legacies into their blood, passing them on to future generations.

As for the Witch Tribe, besides taking those Human Witches with Earth Witch or higher Cultivation to the Netherworld, those that remained continued to live on Huaxia Land.

These remaining Human Witches did not mix with the ordinary Human Clan. They intermarried amongst themselves and eventually formed a large tribe, the Jiuli Tribe.

Because Human Witches naturally could manipulate various types of Laws between Heaven and Earth, their bodies were even stronger than those of the ordinary Human Clan. Therefore, they lived much more prosperously than ordinary humans.

The Clan Leader of the Jiuli Clan was named Ba Tian, with a build like a bear and a tiger’s back, born with the Power of Laws, which was the Xuanbing Power. His wife was named Han Rou, born with the Innate Power of Laws, which was the Leaving Fire Power. Many years after their marriage, they had yet to have a child.

Perhaps, this was also the result of their inherently conflicting attributes.

But one day, while Han Rou was cultivating outside her home, the Shaking Light Star in the sky suddenly burst into red light flashes, and in an instant, it entered Han Rou’s belly.

The situation was almost identical to Fu Bao’s, with only one being Tianshu and the other Shaking Light, which did not make it hard to guess their relationship.

And that red light was none other than Chiyou’s Primordial Spirit, which had aggressively broken through the Six Paths of Reincarnation and emerged against the heavens.

As it turned out, when Chi You entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he did not want the Reincarnation Light within the passage to erode his Primordial Spirit. Therefore, he hid his Primordial Spirit in the space within the Divine Axe, passing through the Reincarnation Light.

Of course, leaving the Reincarnation passage unscathed could not be so simple. No matter how Chi You hid, he still paid the price of one-tenth of his Primordial Spirit Mark.

The loss of the Primordial Spirit caused Chi You’s consciousness to gradually become blurry. If he did not quickly find a vessel, let alone unify Huaxia Land, it would be good if he were not struck by lightning and killed.

Drawn by the Witch Tribe’s instinctive attraction, Chi You eventually found the Jiuli Tribe, and Han Rou, one of the tribe’s highest Cultivation Human Witches, naturally became Chi You’s best choice.

Hence, he plunged headlong into Han Rou’s belly.

Suddenly struck by the impact, Han Rou naturally fainted. The Jiuli Clan Leader Ba Tian came upon hearing the news and after a careful investigation found nothing unusual, finally he was relieved.

On East Sea Penglai Island, by the White Lotus Pond.

Li Qingming changed into a fresh and light green short robe, sitting quietly in a bamboo chair by the Lotus Pond, watching the lotus seeds beside Wang Shu, and laughed, "Girl! The Human Clan’s Taihuang is about to be born, this Huaxia Land will no longer be calm!"

Wang Shu gently peeled a handful of lotus seeds, smiled and said, "Qingming, just now Tianshu and Shaking Light descended into the world at the same time, could it be that there will be two emperors in the Human Clan?"

"What a joke!" Li Qingming picked up a lotus seed and tossed it into his mouth, "The so-called Taihuang is an emperor of conquest and killing! Tianshu, also called Tan Lang, for it represents Ziwei’s Number, is a born emperor of slaughter. And that Shaking Light, also called Po Jun, represents the Blood Slaughter Technique, is a naturally Bloodthirsty Demon King! Thus, with both descending into the world at the same time, the Human Clan will see another fierce battle!"

"Oh? Then doesn’t that mean the ordinary members of the Human Clan will suffer again?" After hearing this, Wang Shu fell silent for a while, then sighed softly.

Li Qingming was startled, then laughed, "When did you become so sentimental, girl! Being the Taihuang is not so easy to prove: decisive in killing, battling throughout life, unifying Huaxia Land, achieving immortal merit! Without an opponent, wouldn’t that be too lonely? Besides, under Heavenly Dao, every sip and peck is predestined and cannot be changed."

Wang Shu gave Li Qingming a speechless glance, "Predestined? As if life and death under Great Dao, isn’t it you who decides!"

Li Qingming touched his chin awkwardly, then burst out laughing.

Just at that moment, an impatient voice thundered through the sky:

"Qingmingzi, you sloppy bear cub! Open up the Island Protection Array for me right now!" (To be continued.
