Chapter 81: All the Saints Gather at Shouyang Mountain
Styx successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation and attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal status. The strength of the Xuan Chu lineage was enhanced, and the human race was about to usher in a great prosperity. Xuan Chu then began to plan for the Kongtong Seal, the treasure of human fortune.
The Kongtong Seal, a treasure of human destiny, is the key to the great prosperity of humankind. The return of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to their rightful places required the Kongtong Seal to bestow upon humankind destiny. Whoever obtains the Kongtong Seal will be able to lead the great prosperity of humankind and seize the initiative.
"It's good that you have confidence, but you still can't let your guard down. The Xuanmen will never give up on the human race's treasure of fortune. It's impossible to get it without going through a tough battle." Although the Xuan Chu lineage is indeed slightly stronger than the Xuanmen on paper, the difference is relatively limited. If you are too careless, you could easily be defeated by a ditch.
"Uncle, don't worry, we have confidence," Tongtian said with a smile. Ever since the battle in the East China Sea, Tongtian has been full of confidence.
The brief excitement caused by Styx's attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was quickly over, and the prehistoric world returned to calm. However, the human territory was bustling with activity.
Since the Wu and Yao races withdrew from the struggle for the protagonist of the primordial world, and the human race officially became the protagonist, its development has been rapid. The biggest benefit of becoming the protagonist is that most of the primordial fortune has begun to transfer to the human race, which has led to the continuous enhancement of the strength of human cultivators. Whether they are immortal cultivators, martial cultivators, or body cultivators of the Panwang Palace, they have all received a great improvement.
During the rapid development, the long-hidden contradictions of the human race gradually came to light.
Since its birth, the human race has been known for its extremely rapid reproduction rate, growing from the initial three thousand innate humans to a staggering ten billion. Although it suffered a massacre by the demon race, leaving only one-tenth of the ten billion humans alive, after so many years of recovery, the human race's population has long since returned to the level before the great calamity.
The increase in numbers means an increase in the demand for living space and resources. At this time, the human race can be described in one word: chaotic, like a pile of loose sand. The original three thousand innate humans established their own tribes in the later stages of reproduction and development. After the tribes grew, they branched out. Over the years, the number of human tribes, large and small, has reached millions.
The tribes were numerous and independent, constantly fighting over the distribution of resources. Initially, to reconcile the conflicts between the tribes, the three ancestors of the human race specially built the Human Holy Temple to manage the human race. However, as the human territory continued to expand, and various religious sects came to preach in the human race, the tribes adopted different sects and developed different beliefs, which intensified the conflicts.
The three ancestors of the human race saw this and were anxious, but none of them were good at management. Although they were the only three quasi-saints in the human race, they wanted to stop it, but they were powerless to do so. They couldn't just forcibly suppress it, could they? Forcible suppression might have some results in the short term, but it wouldn't work in the long run. After trying some methods without success, the three ancestors of the human race simply hid in the human race's holy temple to cultivate and stopped paying attention to it.
With the three most prestigious ancestors of the human race no longer taking charge, the human race descended into even greater chaos. Faced with this disorder, the leaders of the various human tribes gathered together, intending to elect a virtuous and capable person to serve as the common ruler of the human race and take charge of it. However, the various human tribes were not subordinate to each other, and none of them submitted to the others, so in the end, they could only return empty-handed.
On this day, a beam of precious light shot straight into the sky from Shouyang Mountain, illuminating the entire prehistoric world. Powerful figures from all sides, seeing this soaring light, knew that it was a treasure of no less than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and so they all set off to try and seize it.
Currently, most of the top-grade innate spiritual treasures in the entire prehistoric world are in the hands of the Six Sages of Heaven and the Xuan Chu lineage, with a few in the hands of those powerful forces. Therefore, the emergence of a treasure no less than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is enough to drive the entire prehistoric world crazy.
"Hahaha, the human race's most precious treasure has finally been born!" On Jin'ao Island, ever since receiving Xuan Chu's instructions, Tong Tian had been keeping an eye on the direction of Shouyang Mountain. The moment the treasure light soared into the sky at Shouyang Mountain, Tong Tian sensed it and immediately went to Shouyang Mountain.
At the same time, Houtu, Styx, and the Five Sages of Heaven all went to Shouyang Mountain. Houtu also invited the Eleven Ancestral Witches and Houyi.
Shouyang Mountain is the site of the Renjiao sect, so the Supreme Lord, as the host, was definitely the first to react. Originally, the Supreme Lord wanted to take the treasure in advance before the various forces reacted, but he found that the treasure was not yet ready to be revealed, so he could only wait quietly.
Soon, Tongtian, Houtu, Minghe, and the other saints of Xuanmen arrived at Shouyang Mountain, where countless prehistoric cultivators had gathered. However, a large number of these cultivators, upon seeing the arrival of the saints (in the eyes of the prehistoric beings, a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian was a saint), knew that there was no hope of seizing the treasure and left directly. The remaining people also knew that it was impossible to snatch the treasure from the saints, but there was only one treasure, while there were eight saints on the mountain, plus the twelve ancestral witches (Houyi was also an ancestral witch). A great battle was bound to break out in order to compete for the treasure, and it would be quite interesting to witness the battle of the saints.
"Gentlemen, Shouyang Mountain is my Daoist temple. Any treasures that are born on Shouyang Mountain naturally belong to me. Why would you make a wasted trip?" Taishang said.
"Fellow Daoist Taishang, you are mistaken!" Zhunti, who was extremely attached to the spiritual treasure, was the first to refute Taishang, saying, "Treasures belong to those who are destined to possess them. Shouyang Mountain has existed since the creation of the world by the Great God Pangu, while you, Fellow Daoist, have only come to Shouyang Mountain in recent years, and the treasure has not yet appeared. How can you be sure that this treasure belongs to you?"
Zhunti's words were full of sarcasm, implying that Taishang was also a newcomer and had no right to decide the ownership of the treasure.
"Hmph!" Taishang also understood Zhunti's meaning, snorted coldly, and said, "So what? The entire prehistoric world was created by Father God Pangu, and I am a descendant of Pangu, so this treasure naturally belongs to me."
"What Fellow Daoist Taishang said makes sense, but don't forget, you're not the only descendant of Pangu present," Styx said with a smile. Descendant of Pangu? You're not the only descendant of Pangu, Taishang. Do you think everyone else is dead?
"Styx!" Taishang glared at Styx, then looked at Yuanshi, hoping that Yuanshi could lend him a hand one day. Taishang felt that the treasure that had appeared this time was of great importance to him. If he could not seize it, it would be very detrimental to his own and the future development of the Human Sect.
But Yuanshi chose to ignore it. This was a treasure no less than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Even Yuanshi himself didn't have many of these. Who would complain about having too few treasures like this? So what if Taishang was the eldest brother? Who said that all treasures belonged to the eldest brother?
Taishang was furious at the original's disregard, but what could he do? He couldn't very well force the original here, could he? Besides, this time, not only the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao had come, but also the three Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Xuan Chu lineage and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Taishang still needed the original.
Thinking of this, Taishang secretly transmitted his voice to the Five Sages of the Heavenly Dao: "Everyone, we are all disciples of the Heavenly Dao. We can accept the treasure falling into the hands of anyone, but we must not let it fall into the hands of the Xuan Chu lineage. As you have seen, Tongtian, Houtu, Minghe, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches have all arrived. If we cannot join forces, we can only watch helplessly as the treasure falls into the hands of the Xuan Chu lineage. Think it over carefully. Let us join forces to defeat the Xuan Chu lineage first, and then we can decide the ownership of the treasure based on our own abilities."
Even the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao were not confident in their ability to defeat the Xuan Chu lineage in a one-on-one fight. If they still wanted to seize the treasure, they would have to join forces to defeat the Xuan Chu lineage first.
