So, in just half a month, the frenzy had grown even wilder than before!
As a result, the Human Tribe had gained nearly a thousand Earth Immortals within that time!
Not only that, but several individuals had also broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
However, the Mystic Immortal realm could only be achieved in such a short time by those with exceptionally strong talent, or by those blessed by heaven and earth like the Witch and Demon Clans.
The Human Tribe worked hard too.
Since their innate physique was inferior to the Witch and Demon Clans, they would make up for it with effort!
Every day, they walked carrying mountains on their backs!
Now, the Human Tribe was radiating a vibrant spirit!
No longer despairing over the Demon Race's strength.
They had found a glimmer of hope, a leader!
And also a direct path to becoming a Sage!
No need for merit, no need to sever the Three Corpses—they could still transcend above!
Attain Dao and become a Sage!
Though it was incredibly difficult, perhaps even harder than attaining Sagehood through merit, that glimmer of hope was a banner!
Moreover, today's Human Tribe didn't have just one path to transcendence!
They had two!
Chapter 14: Innate Supreme! Self-Transformation and Freedom! [Kneeling for Flowers and Tips]
The Xuanyuan Shi Tribe of the Human Tribe.
A young man clad in animal skins was deeply contemplating the book Exotic Fire Fighting World.
He was the chieftain of the entire Xuanyuan Shi Tribe, named Xuanyuan!
Yet, as chieftain, he could not lead the tribe to rise.
Watching other tribes produce Earth Immortals one after another, his own tribe remained stagnant.
It was deeply frustrating!
Thus, in recent days, Xuanyuan Shi had immersed himself in Exotic Fire Fighting World, comprehending the growth history of the Flame Emperor within the book!
"Why won't it work? Am I destined to be incompatible with the Dao? If I cannot contribute to the rise of the Human Tribe, how can I have the face to remain a tribal chieftain? How can I lead my people out of the Great Wilderness!"
"Exotic Fire! The Burning Art! Pills! Any of them would do!"
Xuanyuan Shi was nearly obsessed, almost driven mad!
He had to find a path to transcendence.
Witnessing the Demon Race destroy one Primordial Tribe after another.
The nearest Primordial Tribe to him had turned to rubble and ash half a month ago.
He had seen the rise of Suiren Shi and Shennong Shi, and witnessed the might of the Human Emperor Jiang Chen!
Facing even the great powers of the Demon Race, they dared to fight. He too wanted to be like the leaders of the Human Tribe, leading his people out of the Great Wilderness and declaring war on the Demon Race!
He wanted to shout: "Thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank—don't bully the youth for being poor!"
"Still no good? Am I simply not meant for the Dao?"
Xuanyuan Shi began to doubt himself.
But just then, the Heavenly Dao Library in his mind trembled!
A new book floated beside Exotic Fire Fighting World!
"Oh? Is this the Human Emperor's new book?"
"Invincible Brat?"
"A Work of Deification quality?"
"A new book that rivals Exotic Fire Fighting World!" Xuanyuan Shi's heart raced with shock and joy!
He had long been unable to grasp the profound truths within Exotic Fire Fighting World, unable to comprehend its essence.
Now, he had another direction to pursue!
"Thank you, Human Emperor, for bestowing this book!"
Xuanyuan Shi bowed in reverence toward Shouyang Mountain.
Then, unable to contain himself, he began flipping through the new book.
The first line on the cover.
Summarized the entire book's content.
[A single speck of dust can fill the sea; a single blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars; a flick of the finger can overturn heaven and earth. Heroes rise together, ten thousand races stand side by side, sages contend for supremacy, chaos shakes the world. Ask the Vast Earth, who rules the rise and fall?! Born for the Dao, arriving for the calamity! A youth emerges from the Great Wilderness, cutting down all enemies under heaven!]
Just reading this passage, Xuanyuan Shi was stunned, feeling his hair stand on end, his scalp tingling, nearly bursting!
It was a feeling of deep resonance, as if the person in the book was himself!
"A single speck of dust can fill the sea, a single blade of grass can sever the sun, moon, and stars—a flick of the finger and heaven and earth overturn! That is the means of the Great Luo Level!!!"
Xuanyuan Shi was astounded—there was actually someone so powerful in the book!
A peerless genius equal to the Flame Emperor, who rose with the birth of strange fire and commanded all flames to submit!
He opened the first page!
A wild, primeval aura, like that of the Primordial World, surged straight into Xuanyuan Shi's mind.
That Brat, joyful in his youth, fought fierce beasts and slaughtered them as easily as drinking water!
"Good! In the future, my Human Race will surely slaughter the Demon Race as easily as drinking water!"
Even just the opening earned Xuanyuan Shi's great praise!
The youth began to leave the Great Wilderness!
He stormed Kunpeng's Nest!
"Hiss!" Xuanyuan Shi gasped in shock—a mere youth dared to storm Kunpeng's Nest!
That was the Heavenly Court Demon Master!
A solid Quasi-Saint level cultivation!
As expected of the Human Emperor—he actually dared to write Kunpeng to death, bearing such immense karmic consequences!
Xuanyuan Shi thought this, silently breaking out in a cold sweat for Jiang Chen, far away on Shouyang Mountain.
If Kunpeng took notice, he would likely descend to the lower realm, just like the seven gods in the book who sought to kill the Brat, and annihilate Jiang Chen!
The Primordial World had no reincarnation yet; great beings could regenerate from a single drop of blood and wander the river of time without perishing.
But Jiang Chen clearly did not yet possess such power!
Xuanyuan Shi continued flipping through the pages and came upon the tragic scene before the Imperial Pass.
One line stood vividly before his eyes!
"A man roams the four corners of the world—where is not home? Where he dies, there he is buried; every green mountain under heaven is the same!"
"Where he dies, there he is buried; every green mountain under heaven is the same!" Xuanyuan Shi murmured the line over and over, deeply moved.
If one day he too had to die for the Human Race, would he have that resolve?
Absolutely!
To die for the Human Race, ten thousand deaths without regret!
At that moment, Xuanyuan Shi felt a soaring, sky-piercing passion!
"To die for the Human Race—born in the Primordial World, die in the Primordial World, die where you may, be buried where you fall! Every green mountain under heaven is the same!"
Vaguely, Xuanyuan Shi seemed to enter a wondrous state.
He felt as if he had stepped into the Book World!
Accompanying the invincible Heavenly Emperor!
Returning from the foreign lands, setting foot once more on the border pass!
That generation's Immortal King looked down upon everyone at the Imperial Pass!
Just as the Demon Race in the Primordial World looked down upon the Human Race, treating them as ants.
"Even if I bear the Heavenly Abyss on my back and must hold up the Primordial Imperial City with one hand, I am still unmatched in this world!"
That sense of oppression made Xuanyuan Shi think of the Demon Race—raising a hand to slaughter tens of thousands of humans, as simple as stepping on ants!
The Human Race was not the Sky Horn Ant of the book; they had no heaven-defying power, no talent like Great God Pangu to contend with the Great Dao!
They could only be slaughtered by the Demon Race!
Such oppression—he felt it just as the invincible Heavenly Emperor did in the book!
