Chapter 261: The Ancient Tribes

In the holy land of Yao Chi, the Conference of All Races came to an end amidst debate, allowing the various religions of the human race to temporarily usher in a period of relative peace.

Li Zhi, who left Yao Chi, has quietly arrived at the territory of the ancient creatures.

However, he had just arrived at an oasis only a million miles away from the Holy Land of Yao Chi, and he saw several ancient creatures gathering on a sacred mountain at the edge of the oasis.

"The human race is such a despicable, shameless, opportunistic race." After that, Li Zhi heard the ancient creatures slandering humans.

"Why don't you think about the problem from a different angle, fellow Taoists? The human race's Jiang Taixu is a bit abnormally powerful. He killed more than 20 ancestral kings in one battle, and even caused many races to lose the protection of their ancestral kings. Now that both parties have agreed that strong men above the level of saints cannot take action, isn't this the chance we're waiting for?"

"What do you mean by this, fellow Taoist?"

"The human race's forces are scattered all over the world. As long as we don't touch those forces with extreme weapons, the remaining forces without saints will be lambs for us to slaughter. Even if we take action to destroy them, those human saints can't say anything. After all, we are not saints. The rule that saints don't take action is a common agreement between them and the ancestors of various races."

"Good idea. Some time ago, the human race's holy body and the barbarians of Nanling joined forces to directly destroy an ancient human family in Beiyuan and obtained the amazing treasure. Now we can also follow their example and provoke some conflicts with those major human race sects.

Then we can annihilate them in one fell swoop, and by then, all the wealth accumulated in those human sects will be ours.

Except for a few large forces, there are no kings in other sects of the human race. Now we can take this opportunity to destroy as many small and medium-sized human forces as possible. Those small and medium-sized human forces, who have no strength but still occupy the sacred pure land, really do not take our ancient races seriously. "

……

After hearing what they discussed, Li Zhi knew that what he was worried about was really going to happen.

Although the ancient tribes did not have the ability to kill the top forces of the human race, the first-class sects that did not have enough foundation, such as the Five Elements Palace and the Ice and Snow Palace of the Northern Territory, would probably be directly destroyed in large numbers under the impact of the ancient tribes.

In the foreseeable future, all large and medium-sized religious sects scattered across the world will probably face a cruel test.

As long as there is no king in charge, even if the sect has more than ten powerful people, it will not be able to compete with those small and medium-sized ancient races.

Even if those sects have kings, under normal circumstances they cannot compete with the big clans among the ancient tribes.

Even if the ancient king did not take action, the king alone would be able to lead the team and destroy the great sect.

And those great sects of the human race that were attacked by the ancient races would never receive the protection of top holy places or noble families, and no one would come with imperial weapons to stand up for them.

As long as all the ancient races do not mobilize in full force, only three or five small and medium-sized ancient races need to join forces to deal with a large human sect each time.

The possibility of the destruction of the human race’s major religions would be more than 80%.

In the future, within a period of time that can be seen with the naked eye, all sects of the human race in the Northern Territory will face a catastrophe. Except for the Holy Land of Yao Chi and the ancient Jiang Family, which can barely maintain the situation, other sects will have no way to survive except to relocate as soon as possible.

Even many major sects may be destroyed by the ancient races silently, and the outside world will not receive any information.

At the Conference of All Races, the top-level combat power displayed by the human race can rival that of any ancient royal family.

However, the serious lack of middle-level combat power has seriously weakened the weight of various human religions in the eyes of the ancient creatures. In the eyes of most ancient races, the strength of the human race is just so-so.

The top strong men and powerful forces of the human race are naturally suppressed by the ancient royal family.

The remaining small and medium-sized sects will have to face head-on competition from the ancient races.

At the conference, it was only agreed that the saints would not take action, but there was no agreement that the kings and powerful people of the ancient tribes would not be able to destroy the human race's sects.

After all, at the Conference of All Races, the major sects of the human race did not demonstrate the strength that would gain respect from the ancient races.

Are kings among the human race really that rare?

Li Zhi never believed that there were not enough kings in the major sects of the human race.

The Peacock King, who had been stuck on the threshold of the path of beheading for eight hundred years, has now succeeded.

Among all the sects in the Eastern Wilderness, the Taixuan Sect, which is ranked outside the 100th place, has people like Li Ruoyu who have practiced hard and successfully achieved the Dao of Destruction.

Are the powerful people in other sects all trash?
Or is it that, among the countless disciples they have recruited over the past two thousand years, there have been only a few who truly possessed the qualities to become a king?
An ordinary powerful person can live for more than two thousand years without taking any longevity elixirs.

And two thousand years is enough time for ordinary humans to reproduce for a hundred generations.

Li Zhi just didn't believe that among these one hundred generations of ordinary people, there were no few with outstanding talents?
It's not about asking them to attain sainthood, nor is it about asking them to strive for the path to becoming an emperor.

Just strive to become powerful.

According to Li Zhi's understanding of the Beidou human cultivation world, an ordinary cultivator with top qualifications can often cultivate from scratch to the pinnacle of great power in just three to five hundred years.

However, an ordinary cultivator with a special Taoist body or excellent talent can often break through to the realm of great power in just over a hundred years.

As for top-notch qualifications, even if they are only one in ten thousand, or even one in a million, with Beidou's massive population selection, the number of top-notch qualified practitioners is beyond imagination.

The total population on the ancient star Beidou is much larger than people on Earth can imagine.

It was not until Li Zhi became a powerful man that he understood why powerful men of the powerful level suddenly appeared in batches as if they were free.

When the Qi Shi Mansion opened its doors, tens of thousands of young men with the potential to become kings emerged among the younger generation of cultivators alone.

Most of the monks who were able to cultivate to become powerful in such a cruel environment before were those who possessed the qualities of a king.

Of course, whether or not one can kill Dao is another matter.

In fact, after actually achieving the Dao of Severance, Li Zhi discovered that it was not as difficult as he had imagined for a cultivator to achieve the Dao of Severance.

It’s just that the success rate of the sword is not high.

It's not that it's impossible to kill.

As long as the heaven and earth do not set up obstacles, among the cultivators who can become powerful, more than 30% of them have the opportunity to kill the Dao.

Although the success rate of powerful people in cutting off the Dao has not been high in general since ancient times, if there are enough powerful people who can cut off the Dao, then the number of powerful people who can successfully cut off the Dao will not be a minority.

Li Zhi had been wondering why, from Ye Fan's perspective, there seemed to be so few kings of Beidou.

After actually traveling around the vast land of Beidou, Li Zhi discovered that there were actually quite a few.

Even the actual number of saints is in the double digits.

It's just that they are almost all scattered everywhere.

It is even so low-key that it is not well known to outsiders.

Li Zhi can actually understand the current situation of the human race.

The human race seems to be a complete racial concept, but in fact it is similar to the myriad races of ancient times, with countless different races within it.

Strictly speaking, the human race is not a race, but a category.

Within the human race and between different tribes, not only are there huge differences in heritage and thinking, but even the origins of their bloodlines are extremely complicated.

Strictly speaking, humans can only be described as "human beings" and cannot be summarized as "human race".

Are those monsters who were born in human form, or those ancient royal family members who were born in complete human form, really still their original race?

On the road of evolution, they have actually evolved into "humans" and are now members of the human race.

Li Zhi suddenly realized that a cultivator’s cognition must not be the same as that of a mortal, otherwise he would suffer a great loss in the future.

Starting from the King, the evolutionary paths of various races actually began to gradually converge.

They are all evolving towards the direction of "human".

All ancient races are like this.

Most of the ancestral kings look no different from humans in appearance.

The great sage-level strongmen among the ancient races are all in human form without exception.

Strictly speaking, they actually have little connection with their original race.

From the perspective of evolution, they should have a unified name, that is, "Saint".

Although the paths they cultivate are different, the levels of their lives are the same.

Sure enough, narrow racial concepts only appear in the minds of low-level monks.

The higher you go, the more everyone has transcended their own racial barriers and gradually approached the level of Tao.

Perhaps, this is the mentality of the ancient emperors when looking at the countless races in the universe.

When the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone absorbs the life essence of all spirits, he will not discriminate against creatures of different races.

Li Zhi thought that in the future Saint Ruins era, the path of cultivation has been replaced by the path of evolution, and there is a reason for that. The level to which one can evolve is the level of life.

Instead of dividing by narrow races, I am the king of the human race, you are the king of the Tengu race, he is the king of the dragon race, and so on.

Instead, you are a creature in the Shackles Realm, and he is a creature in the Awakening Realm, or a creature in the Golden Body Realm.

Li Zhi was amused by his own thoughts.

I even felt that my body and mind became extremely clear, as if this was the truth of the road to enlightenment.

I tried hard to distinguish them. You are an ancient creature, I am a human, and he is a demon. It is really confusing.

Now that we have embarked on the path of cultivation, there is no longer any concept of race.

After figuring out some things, when I look at everything in the world again, it’s as if I have changed my perspective.

For example, the ancient creatures that Li Zhi saw gathered together to discuss the destruction of the great religion of the human race no longer started from their own races, but from the great way they practiced.

In an instant, there was an extremely obvious difference between them in Li Zhi's eyes.

It's not the difference in appearance, but the difference in the emphasis of the path they practice.

Li Zhi suddenly thought that there was a reason why the ancient star Beidou could allow all the ancient races to coexist.

Under normal circumstances, only one race can dominate an ancient star.

It is impossible to allow tens of thousands of races to produce strong people at the saint level.

The heaven and earth of ordinary ancient stars will only favor one race. For example, Huosang Star is the paradise of the Jinwu clan, and other species will be suppressed.

In fact, all the major royal families in ancient times had their own ancestral stars.

Even the holy body of the human race has their own ancestral star, and the tyrant body that is the lifelong enemy of the holy body also has its ancestral star.

There are actually very few ancient stars like Beidou, where all races compete fairly and where the universe does not favor any particular race.

However, ancient stars like the Big Dipper, which can give birth to saint-level powerhouses in many races, are extremely rare.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the body of the innate chaotic body was integrated into the ancient star of Beidou.

All the ways of heaven and earth are gathered together because of this. Even the ways of the great emperor-level strongmen will not affect the operation of the Big Dipper's ways of heaven and earth after they disperse.

There will be no situation where other species are suppressed from practicing Taoism.

"How could a human dare to come to the territory of my Tianjiao tribe?" Just as Li Zhi fell into deep thought, those ancient creatures also discovered his traces.

The humans who originally lived in this oasis had long since been wiped out by the monks of the Tianjiao tribe.

Then, this oasis became the place where the Tianjiao people lived and reproduced.

This situation has happened thousands of times in this barren land of the Northern Territory.

However, not everyone has the ability to speak out.

Often they disappear without a trace, and even outsiders don't know when they disappeared.

The cruel reality in the real world is far from being summarized by the blood shed at the Conference of All Races.

Originally, within this oasis with a radius of a thousand miles, there lived hundreds of thousands of ordinary humans, and there was even a small sect with hundreds of cultivators.

But ever since the Skyhorns moved into this oasis, all humans here have been wiped out.

From monks to ordinary people, without exception, all were captured by the powerful people of the tribe and then thrown into the vast uninhabited area.

Today, those human beings have long since turned into a pile of bones under the quicksand.

After several years, there were still human cultivators coming to this oasis, which made those ancient creatures want to play tricks on Li Zhi.

Soon, a powerful man with jade horns on his head appeared in front of Li Zhi.

"Human, do you want to play a game?"

"Okay." Li Zhi immediately came back to his senses and looked at the other person with a smile on his face.

"I heard that Jiang Taixu from your human race made a big splash at the All Races Conference. I wonder if you have quite a bit of his style. How about joining us in a battle?" The mighty man with jade horns on his head looked at Li Zhi with amusement.

"Come on, all of you attack together." Li Zhi said, glancing at the ancient creatures in the pavilion on the mountain.

Then a golden stick appeared in his hand.

"Oh, you still have a bad temper. I like it." The powerful man with jade horns on his head did not seem to expect that Li Zhi would have the courage to fight him.

Today, Li Zhi is no longer dressed as a Taoist priest, but an ordinary human cultivator. His aura has also been suppressed to the level of a powerful being.

"The stick in your hand is good. It's a perfect gift for Brother Black Ape." The powerful man with jade horns on his head commented with interest after seeing the material of the golden stick.

"The jade horn on your head is good. It will definitely be an excellent material for making a jade horn cup." Li Zhi also stared at the jade horn on the head of the ancient creature in front of him and commented.

"You're looking for death." The ancient creature with jade horns on its head immediately became furious and shouted, "Today I will make you, a despicable human, die under my horns."

"Crack!"

Facing the attack from the powerful Tianjiao tribe member, the golden stick in Li Zhi's hand was like a golden machete, directly breaking the pair of jade horns on his head.

Under the incredulous gaze of the ancient creature, Li Zhi hit him on the head with another stick.

Then he grabbed his soul in his hands and searched it.

Li Zhi's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Several other powerful ancient creatures from different races saw that Li Zhi had eliminated the powerful man from the Jade Horn Clan with one move, and they immediately rushed towards him.

But how could they be Li Zhi's opponent?

A moment later, they all met the same fate as the powerful man from the Tianjiao tribe.

After Li Zhi also searched their souls, he said with emotion: "When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer. It turns out that this is not just used to describe mortals."

With the full recovery of the ancient creatures, thousands of oases became the territory of the ancient creatures.

The humans who once lived in those oases, if not wiped out, were turned into slaves.

Li Zhi was powerless to do anything about this.

Even if he killed those ancient creatures that bullied ordinary people, it would not bring about much substantial change in the situation of those ordinary people.

This is a fight for living space, and it is so cruel.

Afterwards, Li Zhi continued to wander around the clan territories of the ancient tribes in the Northern Territory, observing their behavior and their cultivation.

Li Zhi discovered that among all the races throughout the ages, except for a few, most races seemed to be deeply influenced by the Big Dipper world.

The paths they cultivate are different, but they are in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth.

It seems that in the ancient times, because the ancient Big Dipper star merged with the innate chaotic body, the distinction between the myriad ways of heaven and earth became very obvious.

Because of the distinct differences in the laws of heaven and earth, the ancient races with different talents were born.

Li Zhi discovered that almost every ancient race had special Dao runes in their blood.

It's like their racial talents are bestowed upon them by heaven and earth. It's extremely magical.

This discovery made Li Zhi even more interested in the ancient tribes.

Almost every time he passed by an ancient tribe, he would capture a powerful ancient creature from that tribe.

However, in just over a month, Li Zhi captured more than 3,000 ancient creatures of powerful level with obvious racial talents.

I plan to bring them back to the dojo and study them carefully.

However, Li Zhi did not realize that his large-scale capture of ancient creatures had caused a small-scale panic within the ancient clan.

Even some royal ancestors began to pay attention to this matter.
