So, in just half a month, they had become even more frenzied than before!
As a result, nearly a thousand more Earth Immortals had emerged among the Human Race in just half a month!
That wasn't all. Several people had also broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
But reaching the Mystic Immortal realm in such a short time was possible only for those with exceptionally powerful talents, or for those blessed with physiques favored by Heaven and Earth, like the Witch and Demon Clans.
The Human Race worked hard, too.
If their natural physiques couldn't compare to those of the Witch and Demon Clans, then they would make up for it with effort!
They walked around every day with mountains on their backs!
The Human Race now brimmed with vitality!
They no longer felt despair at the strength of the Demon Clan.
They had found a glimmer of hope and a leader to guide them!
They even had a path that led straight to Sainthood!
No need for merit, no need to sever the Three Corpses—they could still transcend all others!
Attain Dao and become a Saint!
Though it was unimaginably difficult, perhaps even harder than becoming a Saint through merit, that glimmer of hope was a banner to rally behind!
Besides, the Human Race now had more than one path to transcendence!
They had two!
Chapter 14: Born Supreme! Self-Transformation and Freedom! [Please give flowers and rewards]
The Xuanyuan Tribe of the Human Race.
A young man dressed in animal hide was contemplating the book Exotic Fire Fighting World.
He was the chief of the entire Xuanyuan Tribe, and his name was Xuanyuan.
But as chief, he couldn't lead his tribe to rise.
He watched other tribes produce Earth Immortals one after another, while his own tribe remained completely unchanged.
It was deeply frustrating!
For days now, Xuanyuan had immersed himself in Exotic Fire Fighting World, contemplating the Flame Emperor's growth.
"Why can't I do it? Am I destined to have no aptitude for cultivation? If I can't do my part to help the Human Race rise, how can I call myself the chief of a Human Tribe? How can I lead my people out of the Great Wilderness?"
"Exotic flames! The Burning Art! Pills! Any one of them would do!"
Xuanyuan had become nearly obsessed, almost crazed!
He had to find a path to transcendence.
He had watched the Demon Clan wipe out one Primordial Tribe after another.
The nearest one had been reduced to ruins and ashes half a month ago.
He had witnessed Suiren Shi and Shennong Shi rise, and had also seen the might of Jiang Chen, the Human Emperor!
Jiang Chen dared to fight against powerful members of the Demon Clan. Xuanyuan wanted to be like those leaders of the Human Race, guiding his people out of the Great Wilderness to declare war on the Demon Clan!
He wanted to shout, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't bully a poor young man!"
"Is it still not enough? Am I just not suited to the path of cultivation?"
Xuanyuan began to doubt himself.
But just then, the Heavenly Dao Library in his mind trembled!
A new book had appeared, floating beside Exotic Fire Fighting World!
"Hm? Is this the Human Emperor's new book?"
"Invincible Brat?"
"Is it a Work of Deification?"
"It's a new book on par with Exotic Fire Fighting World!" Xuanyuan was astonished and delighted!
He had been unable to grasp the meaning of Exotic Fire Fighting World or understand its deeper teachings.
Now he had another path he could follow!
"Thank you, Human Emperor, for bestowing this book!"
Xuanyuan bowed respectfully in the direction of Shouyang Mountain.
Then, almost despite himself, he began to read the new book.
The first sentence on the cover summed up the entire book.
[A speck of dust can fill the sea; a blade of grass can cut down the sun, moon, and stars; with a flick of the finger, Heaven and Earth are turned upside down. Heroes rise together, countless races stand side by side, and the Sages vie for supremacy, throwing Heaven and Earth into chaos. Ask the Vast Earth: who rules over all? Born to cultivate the Dao, arriving to face tribulation! A youth leaves the Great Wilderness and slays every enemy under Heaven!]
Just reading that passage left Xuanyuan stunned. His scalp prickled, his hair stood on end, and he felt as if his head might burst!
It was a feeling of profound kinship, as if the person in the book were none other than himself!
"A speck of dust can fill the sea, a blade of grass can cut down the sun, moon, and stars, and with a flick of the finger, Heaven and Earth are turned upside down! Those are Great Luo Level abilities!!!"
Xuanyuan was shocked. The book described people with such incredible power!
The hero was as peerless as the Flame Emperor, who had emerged with exotic flames and subdued all other fires!
He turned to the first page!
A wild, primordial aura, like that of the Primordial Wilderness, surged straight into Xuanyuan's mind.
The Brat was full of joy in his youth, battling Fierce Beasts and slaughtering them as easily as drinking water!
"Good! One day, the Human Race will be able to slaughter the Demon Clan as easily as drinking water!"
Just the opening had already won Xuanyuan's admiration!
The youth began his journey out of the Great Wilderness!
He trespassed into Kunpeng's Nest!
"Hiss!" Xuanyuan was horrified. How could such a young boy dare to trespass into Kunpeng's Nest?
That was the Heavenly Court Demon Master!
A bona fide Quasi-Saint!
As expected of the Human Emperor. He had actually dared to write Kunpeng's death! He would bear an enormous karmic debt for this!
Xuanyuan thought of this and silently worried for Jiang Chen, far away at Shouyang Mountain.
If Kunpeng sensed it, he might descend to the mortal world and kill Jiang Chen just as he had the Brat in the book, like the Seven Deities!
The Primordial Wilderness had no cycle of reincarnation yet. Powerful beings could be reborn from a drop of blood and roam the river of time without perishing.
But Jiang Chen clearly didn't possess that kind of power yet!
Xuanyuan continued reading and came to the heartbreaking scene before the Imperial Pass.
One line stayed vividly in his mind!
"A man travels the world; wherever he is, that is his home. Wherever he dies, there he will be buried. The green mountains are the same everywhere!"
"Wherever he dies, there he will be buried. The green mountains are the same everywhere!" Xuanyuan murmured the line over and over. It moved him deeply.
If one day he, too, had to die for the Human Race, would he have the courage to face it?
Without a doubt!
He would die for the Human Race without hesitation, even if he had to die ten thousand times!
At that moment, Xuanyuan was filled with soaring valor!
"To die for the Human Race! Born between Heaven and Earth in the Primordial Wilderness, and to die between Heaven and Earth in the Primordial Wilderness. Wherever I die, there I will be buried! The green mountains are the same everywhere!"
Somehow, Xuanyuan seemed to enter a wondrous state.
It was as if he had entered the Book World!
He stood alongside the invincible Heavenly Emperor!
Returning from the other realm, he set foot once more at the border pass!
That generation's Immortal King looked down upon everyone at the Imperial Pass!
Just as the Demon Clan in the Primordial Wilderness looked down upon the Human Race, viewing them as mere ants.
"Even if I bear the Heavenly Abyss on my back and must hold up the Primordial Imperial City with one hand, I will remain invincible in this world!"
That oppressive feeling reminded Xuanyuan of the Demon Clan, which could raise a hand and wipe out tens of thousands of people as easily as crushing ants!
The Human Race wasn't like the Sky Horn Ant in the book. They had no power to defy Heaven, nor the talent to stand against the Great Dao like Great God Pangu!
They could only be slaughtered by the Demon Clan!
Xuanyuan felt that same crushing oppression as the invincible Heavenly Emperor in the book!
