Chapter 23: The Birth of the Wu and Demon Tribes

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

In Untainted Land, the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin were badly hurt during the Cultivation Tribulation. The Dragon Tribe faded back to Four Seas, the Phoenix Tribe to Sempiternal Volcano, and the Kylin Tribe was also nowhere to be found. At that moment, there were no leaders for the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land, which also caused the chaos in this land. As time passed by, the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land started to fight with each other again.

And at that time, a tribe was secretly becoming increasingly strong in the rolling mountains of Untainted Land. "Wu... Wu... Wu..." A cheering sound rolled among the mountains. There were two big men wrestling. Although they used some normal fighting skills, they also shook the heaven and earth.

A lot of people stood around the two, cheering for them. These people were all formed by the blood of Pangu, and could be called the Wu Tribe. With strong bodies, the Wu Tribe preferred fighting at close quarters, and they also liked to fight with each other in their spare time.

One could notice these kinds of scenes everywhere in the rolling mountains. At the center of the mountains, there stood a splendid palace, where 10 strong men and two ladies were chatting about some big issues. These 12 were the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery formed by the Blood of Essence of Pangu. This palace was Wu Tribe's sanctum—the Hall of Pangu. Without the call from an Ancestor of Sorcery, no ordinary people of the Wu Tribe had the privilege to go in.

At the birth of the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery, these mountains were full of Evil Spirits. Thanks to the Hall of Pangu to repress these Evil Spirits, this tribe would be exposed to Luohou and the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin at the first Cultivation Tribulation. With extraordinary power, these Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery deserved to be the offspring of Pangu.

Space Ancestor of Sorcery—Emperor Jiang, was shaped like a yellow big sack and as red as the Primordial Fire. He had six feet and four wings, but no face.

Time Ancestor of Sorcery—Torch Dragon, was totally red with a human face and a snake body.

Wood Ancestor of Sorcery—Jumang, was as green as bamboo with a human face and a bird body, and rode two dragons.

Gold Ancestor of Sorcery—Rushou, was dressed in gold scales with a human face and a tiger body. He had two wings with a snake through his ears and two dragons under his feet.

Water Ancestor of Sorcery—Gonggong, was dressed in black scales with a python head and a human body. He rode a black dragon with a green python twisting around his arms.

Fire Ancestor of Sorcery—Zhurong, was dressed in red scales with a beast head and a human body. He rode a fire dragon with a fire snake through his ear.

Wind Ancestor of Sorcery—Tianwu, had eight human heads, a tiger body, and ten tails.

Thunder Ancestor of Sorcery—Qiangliang, had a tiger head and a human body, with a snake in his mouth and a snake in his hand. He had four hoofs and long elbows.

Lightning Ancestor of Sorcery—Xizi, had a human face and a bird body with a green snake hanging on his ear and a red snake in his hand.

Weather Ancestor of Sorcery—Shebishi, had a human face and a beast body. His ears looked like dog ears on which hung green snakes.

Rain Ancestor of Sorcery—Xuanming, was a fiendish beast and his body was full of bone spurs.

Soil Ancestor of Sorcery—Houtu, had a human body and a snake tail with seven hands on her back and two hands in front. In her front hands, there was a winged snake.

Each of the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery had a kind of Power of Divine Law, which they were born with. They inherited their strong flesh bodies from Pangu to cultivate the Nine Cycles Arcane Techniques, giving them the unstoppable power to match with the Primordial Spiritual Treasures.

In the Hall of Pangu, Emperor Jiang, as the eldest brother, looked at his eleven brothers and sisters and said, "Dear all, our Wu Tribe has been living in the rolling mountains for tens of thousands of years, with more than ten million people now. Although at a lower rate, our new tribesmen are still being born from the blood tank which was left to us by our Godfather. Soon, this place won't be spacious enough to hold us."

In a bad temper, Zhurong immediately shouted, "Big brother, I think it isn't that difficult. Out of these mountains, there stands Untainted Land, which was also formed by our ancestor immortals, so there's no need for us to worry about enough places to live." The other Ancestors of Sorcery heard these words and thought they were rational. However, right at that moment, the second brother, Time Ancestor of Sorcery, Torch Dragon, started to voice his opinion.

He said, "Zhurong was right, but we still need to be careful. After the last Cultivation Tribulation, although the Three Tribes of Dragon, Phoenix, and Kylin had faded back from the stage, we can't ignore the power of the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land. Compared with the hundred tribes with more than 100 billion people, our clan only contains about ten million people. If all of them come to attack us, we'll face terrible damage."

The youngest Ancestor of Sorcery, Houtu, nodded in agreement and said, "Big brother, brother Torch Dragon is right. We're just looking for a suitable place to live, so it's not good to sustain bad damage in a battle." Actually, Houtu was different from the others. Instead of loving to fight, she had inherited the kindness of the soil.

Emperor Jiang nodded and thought, "At this moment, our Wu Tribe isn't powerful enough to fight against too many enemies. However, this place can't hold us anymore." Then, he asked Torch Dragon, "Torch, do you have any good advice?"

Torch Dragon smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this situation, my brother. On the basis of these mountains, each one of the twelve of us only needs to lead part of our people around to live. We can expand our land step by step. During that period, we can also cultivate and gradually strengthen our tribe."

Emperor Jiang nodded again and said, "Well, let's follow Jiuyin's words. As for the Hall of Pangu, I need six arch Liches to guard here, who are Xingtian, Xiangliu, Fengbo, Yushi, Feilian, and Pingyi." As the plan had been settled, the Wu Tribe started to take action.

As soon as the Wu Tribe got out of the rolling mountains, the creatures nearby noticed immediately. They all knew that the Wu Tribe had great power, so they faded back proactively. As for those who did not want to leave, they were all directly eliminated by the Wu Tribe. During only hundreds of years, the Wu Tribe had largely expanded their lands.

When their territory was enough to hold their tribe, the Wu Tribe stopped their expansion, in case the other clans would start a war out of greed. With enough land to live on, the Wu Tribe started to live in large herds and family groups. There were 12 tribes led by the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery with many subsections under their control.

With the development of the Wu Tribe's power, they started their land expansion again. After thousands of years, the Wu Tribe became one of the most powerful tribe in Untainted Land, whose people amounted to more than ten billion.

Actually, most of the hundred tribes were beasts and fowl. The Wu Tribe hunted them for food and called them the Demon Tribe. As time went by, these hundred tribes merged into one to defend against the attack of the Wu Tribe and also called themselves the Demon Tribe.

At the same time, at the leading star in Untainted Land, the Solar Star, there was a palace in red, sitting on the Solar Fire. In this palace, there were two men sitting at the center. One was authoritative but gentle, with two magic books in his hand, practicing some profound prediction methods. The other was powerful and arrogant. They were to later become the Demon Tribe emperors, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

The two magic books in Emperor Jun's hand were the River Chart and the Inscription of the Luo, which were both the highest grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures. The two books were greatly helpful for the prediction on the Way of Heaven and Horary Astrology. Besides, the Heluo Origin Formation was formed on these two, which was one of the best formations for defense. If someone was trapped in, it would be very difficult for him to get out.

Beside Donghuang Taiyi, there stood a chaotic, dark-yellow bell. It seemed to be normal but could release endless power. It was called one of the Three Treasures of Heaven and Earth Creation—the Bell of Chaos, which was a highest grade Primordial Supreme Treasure. It not only owned the power of defense but also could repress the luck of a clan. What a God-given treasure!

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Emperor Jun, and asked, "Brother, you know the Wu Tribe is stronger than the Demon Tribe, so why shouldn't we descend to Untainted Land to unify the Demon Tribe? Later on, we'll strive for a decisive victory against the Wu Tribe." Actually, Donghuang Taiyi and Emperor Jun were formed by the Golden Crows with three legs, who also belonged to the Demon Tribe, so they could not wait to leave the Demon Tribe in Untainted Land suppressed by the Wu Tribe.

Hearing this, Emperor Jun closed the River Chart and the Inscription of the Luo in his hand, smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, my brother. I know what you're thinking about, but it's not the right time to descend to Untainted Land. You know, although we can conquer the Demon Tribe with our supernatural power, there will still be someone disaffected. Why not wait for the Demon Tribe to invite us to lead them when they really need our help? Then, conquering the Demon Tribe will be a piece of cake."

Emperor Jun was really a born emperor. When he traveled with Taiyi in Untainted Land, they saved numerous people of the Demon Tribe from the Wu Tribe, which made them well known among Untainted Land. The 10 Great Demon Sages in the Demon Tribe invited Emperor Jun and Taiyi as their leaders to protect them. Since then, they became the Demon Emperor and the Royal Demon, controlling most of the Demon Tribe in this Untainted Land, whose force could match the Wu Tribe's.

After the Wu Tribe and the Demon Tribe formed, Untainted Land returned to chaos. People from the two would always fight against each other for the land or spiritual products. Although these battles were all on small scales, Untainted Land also became chaotic after tens of thousands of years of peace. Fortunately, the two clans still wanted to enhance their forces instead of fighting the final combat, so Untainted Land was in a relatively peaceful situation.
