"Slay the wild beasts and the Demon Race. Wipe out every wild beast within the Eastern Sea Coast. Temper yourselves in battle and seek food. You may also fight your way beyond the Eastern Sea Coast to hunt Demon Race and wild beasts. The Battlefield Killing Formation was not trained for display—it was trained to kill," Chen Yang said.
The Battlefield Killing Formation was meant for war and slaughter.
For that reason, although the Human Clan's training in the Battlefield Killing Formation looked impressive on the surface, it lacked the true essence.
Sending them out to slaughter wild beasts and the Demon Race beyond the Eastern Sea Coast could also be considered cultivation.
Sui Qing nodded at once. "Yes, Uncle. Also, should the Totem System continue to be spread?"
"Continue spreading it. At the very least, the Totem System excels at slaughter and conquest!" Chen Yang said seriously.
After settling the many matters at hand, Chen Yang returned to cultivation as well.
Chen Yang entered his cultivation grounds and took out the ancient text Pingxin had given him. He murmured, "Pingxin actually created the Reincarnation Formation. Though it is only a rudimentary form, she does not understand the Formation Dao, yet she still created it bit by bit. Sigh..."
[You comprehended the rudimentary Reincarnation Formation. A realization dawned upon you; you comprehended part of the Reincarnation Law and simultaneously created the grand formation, the Firmament Reincarnation Formation.] [Using the Reincarnation Law, you created the divine ability—Grand Reincarnation of the Heavens!] [You...]
In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed.
Formation knowledge fused into Chen Yang's Primordial Spirit. Once the fusion was complete, his mind sank into contemplation, sensing the transformations within the formation.
"So that is how it is... The firmament within this Firmament Reincarnation Formation is fundamentally the six directions! The Six Directions Formation forms six small worlds of Reincarnation, then uses the framework of the Reincarnation Formation Array to link those six small worlds together. In the end, they form a loop and become Reincarnation," Chen Yang mused.
"First inscribe above and below, then east, west, south, and north. In the end, form a loop," Chen Yang said.
As he spoke, Chen Yang fell silent and activated the formation within his Primordial Spirit.
His Primordial Spirit began to operate, transforming into interwoven formation patterns.
Chen Yang sensed the changes in his Primordial Spirit and clearly understood that it was about to evolve into a Reincarnation Formation. However, he also knew that this evolved Reincarnation Formation Array was destined to be temporary. After all, he was only inscribing it this time to raise his cultivation and strengthen his Primordial Spirit. Once his Primordial Spirit reached a certain level and he obtained the Heavenly Stellar Array, Chen Yang would sever the Reincarnation Formation evolved from his Primordial Spirit and instead evolve the Cosmic Star Formation.
As his Primordial Spirit evolved, surging spiritual qi poured into Chen Yang's body. His Primordial Spirit gradually formed formation patterns alongside the spiritual qi.
The Primordial Spirit interwove and ultimately inscribed a special formation. It stabilized within Chen Yang's upper dantian, interweaving as it devoured vast spiritual qi and amplified his Primordial Spirit.
As his Primordial Spirit grew stronger, it continued to evolve another small formation.
It was not that Chen Yang did not wish to inscribe more formations, or to inscribe his Primordial Spirit into a Reincarnation Formation in one step. He knew very well that his current Primordial Spirit could not bear so many formation patterns. It needed to evolve slowly.
At present, one-third of his Primordial Spirit had turned into a formation. It formed a Primordial Spirit space, devouring Primordial Spirit power and weaving together energy, tempering and strengthening the Primordial Spirit.
Besides that, another one-third of his Primordial Spirit had also become a formation. Above and below joined together, circling one another.
The final third of his Primordial Spirit revolved along with the two spaces, continuously growing and continuously being tempered.
In the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.
Chen Yang now sensed surging spiritual qi rushing into his body.
The Primordial Clear Qi he had brought from the Ancestral Witch Hall also poured in great quantities into his Primordial Spirit.
At that moment, the two spaces within his Primordial Spirit devoured the Primordial Clear Qi and strengthened his Primordial Spirit. His Primordial Spirit rotated with the formation, ultimately tempering Chen Yang's Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit that had previously retained only one-third had now recovered to two-thirds after being tempered. Moreover, its quality had increased severalfold through that tempering.
As its quality rose, Chen Yang's realm rose as well.
With a boom, like thunder exploding and heaven and earth overturning, Chen Yang's Primordial Spirit broke through. His realm advanced from a Great Luo Earth Immortal to a Great Luo Heavenly Immortal.
After entering this realm, Chen Yang's aura became increasingly steady and increasingly vast.
"Phew... I finally broke through..." Chen Yang said with emotion.
Ever since inscribing the formation, Chen Yang had immersed himself in cultivation and the creation of methods.
He cultivated, comprehended formations, tempered his Primordial Spirit, and strengthened it. He also relied on his enhanced wisdom to create divine abilities and improve the Human Clan's cultivation system.
Beyond that, he observed the changes in the Human Clan. As the Battlefield Killing Formation spread, the Human Clan underwent greater and greater changes. Although the Human Clan's standard of living still remained in a stage of accumulation, its combat strength gradually increased.
There were several tens of billions of Human Clan members brought back from the Wu Tribe. The number among them who could become Human Clan soldiers was also utterly terrifying.
Now that these armies had been dispersed among the Human Clan, even in a short time they had drawn forth even more troops.
These Human Clan armies relied on the Battlefield Killing Formation to slaughter the wild beasts within the Eastern Sea Coast. They also charged beyond the Eastern Sea Coast to slaughter countless members of the Demon Race.
Large quantities of meat were supplied to the Human Clan tribes. With sufficient food, the Human Clan no longer needed to restrain the pace of reproduction. Thus, the Human Clan reproduced faster, and its population continuously rose.
Chen Yang looked at the rapidly increasing Human Clan population within the Eastern Sea Coast. "I have to say, the Human Clan's reproductive speed is truly terrifying. In merely several thousand years, their numbers have increased by several hundred billion."
"Master... the Human Clan has always reproduced quickly. But though this number looks terrifying, it is still far behind the Demon Race. After all, the definition of the Demon Race is that any being which absorbs the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and takes form is a demon. Thus, in the Primordial World, a blade of grass, a stone... once it takes form, it becomes part of the Demon Race. And how many such demons are there in the Primordial World? Once they take form, they are drawn into the Demon Court," Chang'e said.
"That is true... In the Primordial World, starlight rains down, and who knows how many demons take form. Once they cultivate to a certain degree, they are brought into the Demon Court. Yet many are also killed. It can be said that within the Primordial World, countless living beings take form and are born at every moment, while countless lives die as well. It is a loop. Even the Human Clan is the same. With such a vast population, people die every moment," Chen Yang said with a sigh.
Chen Yang looked toward the depths of the East Sea and silently pondered. "It has been so many years since I left Golden Ao Island. I wonder how things are there now?"
"Master... do you wish to return to Golden Ao Island?" Chang'e could not help asking.
"Yes. Ever since I left Golden Ao Island, I have never returned. So many years have passed; I do miss it somewhat. I wonder how my masters are doing," Chen Yang pondered quietly.
"With Master's realm, returning to Golden Ao Island should be very quick, shouldn't it?" Chang'e said.
"It would be quick, but now is not the time to return," Chen Yang said with emotion.
Though Chang'e asked further, Chen Yang did not explain.
Just as Chen Yang was feeling bored, Sui Qing came over. "Uncle... there is a Human Clan member who calls himself your martial uncle and wishes to see you."
"A Human Clan member, my martial uncle? Among the disciples of the Three Teachings, there are very few who are Human Clan. Could it be Martial Uncle Xuandu..." Chen Yang muttered as he pondered.
As he thought, Sui Qing led Xuandu over.
After Xuandu arrived and saw Chen Yang, he sighed. "Martial Nephew Chen Yang... since we parted at Kunlun, it has been at least several hundred thousand years since we last met."
Seeing Xuandu, Chen Yang also sighed. "Martial Uncle Xuandu speaks truly. Several hundred thousand years have already passed since the last Kunlun tournament."
Thinking back to that tournament, it felt as though it had happened yesterday. Yet upon careful thought, several hundred thousand years had already passed.
A single casual cultivation session could last tens of thousands of years. Added together, it was truly frightening. Xuandu sighed deeply, then walked over. "Speaking of which, Martial Nephew Chen Yang, your cultivation has advanced so quickly over these years that it puts the rest of us to shame. Moreover, the changes you have brought to the Human Clan are truly admirable."
"Martial Uncle Xuandu... why say such things? It makes us sound like strangers," Chen Yang said directly. Then he looked at Xuandu and changed the subject. "Martial Uncle Xuandu... may I ask why you have come to the Human Clan this time?"
"Sigh... Master ordered me to undergo some training in the Human Realm, to observe the Human Clan's development and the Human Clan Script. In addition, I came at the request of some elders, to find you," Xuandu said.
"At the request of elders, to find me?" Chen Yang was somewhat puzzled.
"Yes... there are some elders within our Human Clan who wish to see you. Unfortunately, they cannot move about freely, so they asked me to find you," Xuandu said with a slight sigh.
"Human Clan elders? Martial Uncle Xuandu... are you referring to Patriarch Suiren Clan, Patriarch Ziyi Clan, and the others?" Chen Yang asked.
"Precisely. Our Human Clan ancestors wish to see you. Unfortunately, they cannot leave the Land of Destiny, so..." Xuandu could not help saying.
"The Land of Destiny? Our Human Clan's Land of Destiny?" Chen Yang was also puzzled.
Before you continue
