Chapter 259 The Weak Human Race
"when……"
"when……"
Melodious bell sounds rang out from time to time in the Pure Land of Yaochi. This was the etiquette to welcome distinguished guests from all races. Many human leaders and ancient creatures came out to greet them.
The cave master of Huolin Cave, the mountain master of Xuehuang Mountain, the mountain master of Shencan Ridge and other ancient powerful people enjoyed this courtesy. Among the human race, the Barbarian King of Nanling also enjoyed this courtesy.
Among the demon clan, many peerless demon kings also enjoyed this courtesy.
However, Li Zhi, who was mixed in the crowd, was surprised to find that, except for the Barbarian King of Nanling, the other major forces of the human race had not sent a king to the Holy Land of Yao Chi to participate in the grand gathering of all races.
This extremely stupid behavior directly shocked Li Zhi.
Isn't this kind of operation a direct sign of weakness to the ancient tribes?
Not only is it showing weakness to the ancient tribes, it is also showing weakness to the human forces, both big and small, all over the world.
After all, there are only about ten major human forces qualified to represent the human race in the grand gathering of all races, but there are countless human sects and countries all over the world.
Do you really think that relying on a few imperial weapons and a few saints, you can really provide a sky for the human race in the world?
In other words, did the high-level officials who represented the major forces of the human race at the Ten Thousand Races Conference think that their arrangements were foolproof?
Compared with the tremendous arrogance that the ancients showed to the world, the apparent strength of the human race is simply embarrassing.
Even at this time, you are still thinking about hiding your abilities.
Even if each of the top sects of the human race only sends out one king, the total number of kings of the human race would be at least eighty if not one hundred.
Nor will it make the human race look so weak.
Li Zhi really couldn't praise the performance of those major forces that represented the face of the entire human race.
Li Zhi absolutely did not believe that the kings in the major human sects were so rare.
The changes in heaven and earth no longer prevent the powerful from destroying the Dao. The old Taoist Chilong and the Peacock King of the East Wilderness Demon Clan had already succeeded in destroying the Dao several years ago.
Among the major forces of the human race, there are definitely quite a few powerful people who are not weaker than the Taoist Red Dragon and the Peacock King.
Back then, the fighting power of the human race's great Nangong Zheng was no weaker than that of the Peacock King.
You know, the performance of the human race in this grand gathering of all races is not only to show the strength of the human race to the ancient races present, but also to show the confidence and strength of the human race itself to the large and small human forces all over the world.
If there are not enough human king-level masters to match the kings of the ancient tribes.
Even though they have made countless backup plans in secret, to most ordinary humans, this is a sign of the human race's weakness.
This is because ordinary people are not qualified to know what kind of preparations the top leaders of various human religions have made in secret.
Even if the human race had a few super strong people who could kill the ancient creatures in a horde, or even kill the ancient kings, it would be of no avail.
Because the limited number of human masters cannot protect the entire human race in the world.
Even during this conference of all races, the ancient races discovered the layout of the human race’s top leaders and ultimately gave up the idea of going to war directly with the human race.
However, many ordinary cultivators who do not know the truth, when they see the huge gap between the overall strength of the top human forces and the ancient races, will definitely plant the seed of inferiority in their hearts.
In the future, whenever the ancient races and humans go to war, they will unconsciously feel fear in their hearts.
This is the inevitable result of human nature.
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots."
After waiting for a few days, Li Zhi still didn't see any more human kings appear. He couldn't help but curse those cultivators representing the human race's top leaders in his heart.
What good can a mere Divine King Jiang Taixu do even if he has extraordinary combat power and can kill a group of ancient ancestor kings?
Do you really think that in such a racial competition, one person can turn the situation around?
Because there are quite a few great saints among the ancient tribes who are able to kill the God King Jiang Taixu.
The fact that the God King Jiang Taixu is extremely powerful only proves that he himself is very powerful.
As long as you don't achieve enlightenment, as long as you can't suppress all the ways with one, the numerous ancient creatures will not think you are anything special.
Perhaps if Gai Jiuyou could unleash his supreme divine power as an alternative enlightened being, the ancient races would not dare to act presumptuously.
However, Gai Jiuyou had a wound on his body, and his blood was declining, so he was already half useless. Forcing him to reach his peak state would be like trying to kill him.
The ancestral kings of the ancient tribes have not yet appeared, and of course the saints of the human race do not need to show up for the time being.
However, there are so many kings from the ancient tribes, but only a few kings from the human race. This is undoubtedly telling the world that compared with the ancient tribes, the human race is the weaker one.
"These human high-ranking officials have been so high and mighty for too long. They simply don't understand the thoughts of the lower-level cultivators. Do they really think that they can just make the other party wary and that's it?"
"If the human race does not show today that it can rival the number of kings of the major ancient races, the cowardice of the lower-level cultivators in the future when facing the ancient races will be the cause you sowed today."
Li Zhi sighed secretly. Having power but not showing it to one's own family is often equivalent to having no power at all.
Afterwards, Li Zhi no longer paid attention to which other king of the ancient race had arrived.
He went straight to the edge of the oasis where the Pure Land of Yao Chi was located, waiting for the arrival of the Emperor's son.
Two days later, Li Zhi saw a young man appear outside Yaochi under the protection of four kings.
A gorgeous man, with a face that makes women jealous. Every step he takes is in harmony with the heaven and earth, with an inexplicable rhythm.
He seemed like a god walking on earth, with an extraordinary temperament, a five-colored divine ring surrounding his body, and even his hair was crystal clear, exuding a mysterious Taoist charm.
His eyes were deep, as if depicting the evolution of mountains and rivers, the passage of time, the ascension of immortals, and other mysterious visions, which made people sink into them and dare not look directly at them.
The Emperor's son.
As soon as he appeared, he caused a commotion outside Yao Chi.
There were even many ancient creatures who worshiped him devoutly, as if they were worshiping gods.
At this moment, ordinary creatures of all ancient tribes fell into carnival because of the appearance of the Emperor's son.
This made many human cultivators outside Yaochi feel a surge of envy, and then a deep sense of powerlessness.
Although the appearance of the Emperor's son did not cause the Yao Chi Divine Bell to ring, the sensation it caused was far greater than the arrival of the previous kings of the ancient royal family.
Li Zhi watched from afar the scene of the Heavenly Prince's appearance, as well as the reactions of the ordinary human cultivators, and thought to himself, "Today I can no longer keep a low profile."
Then, Li Zhi took out the invitation from Yao Chi, activated the mark on it, and released his own kingly aura.
"when……"
Just as the Emperor's son walked outside the Pure Land of Yaochi, the divine bell inside Yaochi suddenly rang.
The melodious bell sounds directly suppressed the commotion outside Yaochi.
Countless people looked up at the sky, waiting for the arrival of the big man.
You know, when the Emperor's son appeared just now, the divine bell in the Yaochi was not rung.
Everyone knows that the sacred bell will only be rung when distinguished guests arrive.
Just as everyone was looking for the person coming, an auspicious cloud emitting fairy charm slowly floated over from the horizon.
Above the auspicious clouds, there is a fairyland.
Inside the fairyland, there is a mysterious Taoist temple, which seems to have the power to suppress the eternal heavens. Next to the temple, there is a fairy tree planted, and all the laws of the Tao are transformed into fairies hanging on the branches of the fairy tree. In front of the Taoist temple, a Taoist priest, who is shrouded in mysterious fairy mist, is standing on a sacred mountain and slowly flying towards this side with a snow-white floating rod emitting pure dragon energy.
That otherworldly demeanor was as if a true immortal had descended to earth.
Many human leaders and kings of the ancient tribes walked out of Yaochi together.
The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi even came out in person, walked out of the Pure Land and went to greet Li Zhi.
Now she begins to show her true face to people, no longer covering her face with fairy mist as in the past. She has a graceful manner, graceful lotus steps, and possesses the spiritual wisdom of heaven and earth, which makes people love her.
Before the Saintess of Yao Chi could speak, Li Zhi sent her a message: "Do as I say."
After hearing Li Zhi's voice transmission, Yao Chi Saint was slightly stunned, but then she did as Li Zhi said. She came to the auspicious cloud and said with a look of surprise, "Immortal, you have come. Yao Chi is sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me."
"I heard that a grand gathering of all races is being held in Yaochi, so I came here without telling you. I hope the fairy will forgive me." Li Zhi's voice was soft, but it had a mysterious charm that could purify the heaven and earth. All the cultivators who heard Li Zhi's words, whether they were ancient creatures or human cultivators, all felt peace of mind and body.
The excitement caused by the arrival of the Crown Prince instantly calmed down.
Countless people looked curiously at the mysterious Taoist who seemed to be in the fairyland.
Upon seeing this, the Emperor's son immediately frowned, and then mysterious runes appeared in his eyes, as if he was trying to see through the fairy mist and see Li Zhi's true identity.
But as soon as his eyes touched the layer of fairy mist outside Li Zhi's body, a doomsday picture immediately appeared in the fairy mist, with blood flooding the world and all living things bleeding.
"Ah!" The Emperor's son could not help but let out a scream, and two lines of blood and tears immediately flowed out of his eyes.
He felt a supreme edge that could pierce the universe coming from the doomsday scroll, and it directly turned into two spears that pierced his eyeballs.
"Son of God." The four guards around him immediately looked at the prince of heaven who had covered his eyes in horror.
"Hmph!" At this moment, Li Zhi in the mysterious fairy mist snorted coldly, directly shaking away all the gazes that were observing it.
"Ah, ah, ah."
Dozens of screams rang out from all directions, and all of them suffered backlash.
"My Immortal Master, please calm down. These people didn't do it on purpose. They are all cultivators from various races who came to participate in the grand gathering of all races. My Immortal Master, please, for the sake of Yao Chi, don't bother with them." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi advised appropriately.
"This won't happen again." Li Zhi said coldly in the fairy mist.
Then he was invited by the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi to the Pure Land of Yao Chi, which was not even the main hall where those ancient creatures stayed.
But it is the area that is not open to the public.
After Li Zhi and the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi disappeared in the depths of the Yao Chi Pure Land, countless people began to discuss who this mysterious Taoist was.
Even the ancient creatures who paid homage to the Prince of Heaven were no exception.
It was actually possible to cause the Emperor's Prince's Dharma Eye to suffer backlash. This was not something that ordinary people could do.
Duan De and Ye Fan, who came out of the Yao Chi Pure Land, also saw this scene, but did not recognize that the person in the fairy mist was Li Zhi.
Only after entering the depths of the Pure Land of Yaochi did Li Zhi remove the disguise from his body.
Those strange visions were the images he created using the Taoist temple, fairy trees, sacred mountains and three-story mysterious altar in the secret realm of Lunhai.
Even if the Great Sage came, he would not be able to see through the origin of those things.
"Changshou, why did you show up so high-profile just now? Doesn't this seem to be somewhat inconsistent with your personality?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Do you think this is the time for all religions of our human race to keep a low profile?" Li Zhi asked back.
"Shouldn't we conserve our strength?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi didn't understand what Li Zhi wanted to say.
"Where is the Queen Mother? I have something to ask her." Looking at her reaction, Li Zhi knew that the Saint Lady of Yao Chi was just a supporting role in the whole plan, and she was not taken into consideration in the real plan.
"The Queen Mother is entertaining the kings of various tribes. What happened to Changshou?" The Saint of Yao Chi seemed to sense the worry in Li Zhi's heart.
"Why didn't the various sects send their kings to attend the grand gathering of all races in a high-profile manner. Instead, only a barbarian king from Nanling appeared at the event as a king. The main activity areas of the ancient races are in the Northern Region and the Eastern Wilderness. Why didn't the Yaoguang Holy Land, the Jiang Family, the Ji Family, and the major holy places and families in the Central Region send their kings?" Li Zhi asked.
"Don't tell me that there are no kings in the major forces. Taoist Red Dragon, Peacock King, these powerful monsters of the Eastern Wasteland were able to seize the opportunity of the changes in the world and succeed in slashing the Dao. Is it true that there are really no peerless geniuses in the various sects of my human race? Has anyone invited Nangong Zheng? Has anyone invited Gu Jianyun, the peerless swordsman who roamed the Eastern Wasteland a thousand years ago? Has anyone invited Tie Kuang Tu, the invincible divine fist who dominated the world five hundred years ago..."
Li Zhi said for more than ten minutes that he was already a top-notch master of the human race five hundred years ago.
In the vast Eastern Wasteland, the human race is not without experts. When Li Zhi was traveling in the mortal world, he had heard about many stories of the human race experts who were once famous all over the world.
Although they are not as dazzling as the God King Jiang Taixu four thousand years ago, based on the strength and talent they demonstrated back then, they will definitely succeed in the initial stage of the changes in heaven and earth.
The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi originally wanted to have a good reminiscing with Li Zhi, after all, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years.
But as soon as they met, he was confused by Li Zhi's questions.
For a moment, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi didn't know what to say, and then she went to invite the Queen Mother of Yao Chi.
Soon, the Queen Mother of Yao Chi appeared in front of Li Zhi and asked directly: "Changshou, is there any problem?"
"Greetings, senior." Li Zhi first greeted the Queen Mother of Yao Chi, and then said directly: "There is a big problem. If there are no more kings from our human race before those ancient ancestor kings arrive, I am afraid that the impression that the human race is weak will become the consensus of all races in the world."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "So that's what you're worried about. Changshou, you don't have to worry about this. Senior Divine King Jiang Taixu, Senior Gai Jiuyou, the old master of Qishi Mansion, and the biggest bandit in the Northern Territory, these human saints have already planned to use this grand gathering of all races to teach the ancient races a bloody lesson. They will definitely be able to create a peaceful environment for our human race."
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Senior, you misunderstood me. Even if the God Kings are extremely powerful and can kill a large number of Ancestral Kings, their effect on the vast majority of ordinary human cultivators is not as great as you think. Only when the human cultivators from all over the world see that they also have a small umbrella above their heads will they feel truly at ease."
"Okay, Changshou. I understand what you mean, but the plan was made by the saints, so we just need to execute it. There will be no problem." Queen Mother Yao Chi was not worried at all about the problem Li Zhi mentioned.
Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West was thinking the same thing, Li Zhi didn't say anything more.
Perhaps in the eyes of these powerful and superior forces, as long as the ancient races do not attack them and do not compete with them for resources, the gathering of all races will be considered a success.
Li Zhi was slightly disappointed with this.
Ye Fan, a visitor from outside the domain, is willing to fight for the future of the human race in Beidou. After seeing Ye Fan's performance, Li Zhi, an outsider, also wants to contribute to the human race in Beidou.
However, the major forces of the Beidou human race are not motivated and are all calculating in their own ways, which is really helpless.
Li Zhi could tell from the Queen Mother's tone that all the major human forces now regarded their kings as top-level combat forces like trump cards and did not dare to let any problems occur to them.
They were afraid that they would be targeted by the kings of the ancient tribes.
We can't say they are wrong, we can only say that the selfish desires of monks are sometimes much stronger than those of ordinary people.
After realizing this, Li Zhi stopped interfering in other people's affairs.
Perhaps they feel that top-level combat power is enough in this racial competition.
It can be predicted that before the new generation grows up, the human race in various parts of Beidou will have to live a hard life.
If it weren't for Ye Fan, an outsider who suddenly appeared and took up the banner for the Beidou human race, the Beidou human race would have no bright future at all.
Judging from the choices they made in the initial stages of this great battle, they were already showing signs of defeat, and this cannot be changed by a few passionate saints.
Racial competition and lack of internal unity of thought will be useless even if more God King Jiang Taixu stand up.
Then he went downstairs to rest.
