Chiyou immediately ordered the mountain to be excavated, vowing to open a passage between east and west!
He named this land, which had been called forth by the Heavenly Dao: Zhuolu!
The conflict among the human race grew ever more intense.
The Western Teachings, which had deep ties to the Western Human Race, were also drawn into it.
Years of warfare had left countless lives in misery. Outer disciples of the Western Teachings descended from the mountains one after another to deliver lost souls, heal the wounded, and save the dying.
Most of these disciples had stopped at the Golden Immortal realm—
Though Jieyin and Zhunti had the ability to help them break through, those who failed to meet the standard naturally had no chance at such an opportunity.
This earned the Western Teachings the praise of all living beings.
Time flowed on, and several more Kalpas passed.
The human races of east and west continued to merge through their clashes.
Within the sacred realm of the Western Teachings:
Lu Tian gathered with Jieyin, Zhunti, Ancestor Minghe, Fuxi, Pharmacist, and Black Turtle.
Jieyin and the other two were Sages of the present age, while Fuxi held an exalted position as the Human Emperor.
Lu Tian and his two fellow disciples all shared deep Karma with the human race and constantly kept watch over its developments.
This struggle for the Human Emperor's throne would likely drag on for a long time.
It would depend on who could expand their territory and carve out a realm within the other side's domain.
Jieyin took a light sip of fragrant tea and analyzed the current situation.
"Chiyou is the reincarnation of a Witch Clan member and has considerable odds of victory. How do you all intend to place your bets?"
