The 20th Clan's Great Calamity

  The human settlements were protected by the Wudao, and the losses were not too heavy in this disaster. The humans were inspired by Kunpeng's fearless spirit, and various tribes built temples for him.

  Among all the people, Kunpeng gained the most benefits in this disaster. Not only did he receive 40% of the Heaven Repairing Merit, but he also swept away the fragments of Mount Buzhou. After seeing the "Qiankun Ding" of Daozu Hongjun, Kunpeng also thought that he should refine a kind of acquired treasure. He personally prefers to refine instruments and elixirs, so refining a ding-shaped acquired treasure is a good choice. Although it doesn't have much attacking power, it's very effective in suppressing the flow of air.

  Buzhou Mountain fragments are indeed the best material for a Ding body, not only do they have the merit of Pangu opening up the sky, but they are also extremely sturdy, which is unmatched by other materials. The only material that can surpass it in Kunpeng's hands is the Panbao Rock, which is a piece of chaotic stone that has undergone countless tempering by pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, its quality is so good that it can be used to refine an extreme-quality pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, but this treasure has other uses for Kunpeng, so it cannot be moved.

  After a period of preparation, Kunpeng closed himself off again to cultivate his instrument. This time, he was in seclusion for a hundred years. After a hundred years of cultivation, he refined a top-grade acquired treasure, the 'Pangu Cauldron'. This acquired treasure used up all of Kunpeng's merits. Its defensive capabilities were on par with the 'Heavenly Earth Xuanhuang Lingshen Tower', both being impervious to all laws. In terms of functionality, however, the tower was far inferior to the cauldron. Not only could this cauldron suppress the flow of air, but it could also be used for alchemy and instrument refinement.

  This tripod is the ultimate treasure of post-heavenly merit, and after its creation, there was no heavenly tribulation descending, so all the people in the vast wilderness did not know that such a post-heavenly merit ultimate treasure had come into being.

  After this refining process, Kun Peng felt that his own cultivation had made a breakthrough. He hastily left the cave to guide his disciples in their cultivation and then closed himself off again for further refinement, seeking to break through his current state and enter the realm of Quasi-Sainthood.

  The demon tribe suffered losses in this disaster, but they inadvertently discovered that the human soul was very helpful for their cultivation, so they began to target humans.

  The Emperor Jun's face was stern, wearing a golden yellow long gown, holding the Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure River Map Luo Book, sitting upright in the center of the main hall. Next to him sat two people. On the left was a person with a horizontal eyebrow and eyes, wearing a fire-red long gown, holding the Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure Hun Dun Bell. It was Emperor Jun's brother, Dong Huang Tai Yi. On the right was a woman who looked enchanting and charming, it was the Empress Chang Xi.

  The Demon Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi were thinking day and night about how to wipe out the Wu tribe, so that the demon tribe could unify the Honghuang world and get rid of the current situation where demons controlled the sky and witches controlled the earth. Now hearing what a little demon had said, he was very interested, and immediately ordered his demon soldiers and generals to capture several living beings from the Honghuang human tribe to come and experiment.

  After trying it out, it was discovered that the pure blood of the human tribe not only could enhance their cultivation, but also the souls of the dead humans could erode one's will. Emperor Jun was overjoyed, thinking he had found the ultimate solution to deal with the Witch Tribe. It turned out that the people of the Witch Tribe had the Pangu bloodline, and were born with the ability to control the elements of the Primordial Chaos, their physical bodies were incredibly strong, and impervious to water and fire. However, their physical cultivation relied entirely on their willpower, and the people of the Witch Tribe were a unified entity, with an extremely strong will, normally only listening to the commands of their Ancestor Witch, which is why the Demon Tribe had been unable to find a way to deal with them.

  The life and death of the human race is not within the consideration of Donghuang Taiyi, who is about to order the capture and killing of humans to collect their souls. However, Emperor Jun, the demon emperor, stops him, saying: "Brother, wait a moment, those humans may be insignificant, but they were created by our tribe's sacred woman, Nüwa. Moreover, Taishang Laojun, the first of the Three Pure Ones, has established the human race. If we kill them now, we will offend the saints, which is not good. Let us first go to pay respects to the two saints and probe their intentions before taking action."

  Dong Huang Taiyi thought so too, it turned out that Dong Huang Taiyi was more reckless, while the demon emperor Jun's thoughts were meticulous, so the major events of the demon clan were actually decided by Taiyi. At this time, the two flew to the Wa Huang Palace of the demon saint Nuwa!

  Nüwa, resting in the Jade Palace, sensed the intentions of the two and knew what they had come for. She thought to herself that it would be unwise to harm either side, as both were dear to her. Just as she wanted to dissuade them, several beams of light flashed across the sky outside, reminding Nüwa that other saints were warning her not to reveal heavenly secrets. Realizing that heaven's will could not be defied, she closed the gates of the Jade Palace and merely observed from afar.

  When Emperor Jun Taiyi arrived at the palace of Empress Wa, he couldn't even enter the gate. There was a young boy in front of the gate who said to Emperor Jun Taiyi: "Her Majesty is in retreat and only left a message saying that today's cause will be tomorrow's effect, so think thrice before acting."

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had been a demon emperor for a long time, did not expect to receive such treatment today. He only snorted in anger: "The saint indeed has a grand setup, but it's even difficult for us to meet, never mind. We won't bother the saint either!" After finishing speaking, he left with a flourish!

  The Demon Emperor Jun, however, was not as impulsive as the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. He said to Tongzi, "Please tell the Empress that the demon clan is ultimately where she belongs. Please ask her to pay more attention to the affairs of the demon clan." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly chased after the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

  Dai De finally caught up with Dong Huang Tai Yi, who said: "Big brother, why must you be so polite to Nüwa? With our abilities, we can handle the Witch Clan on our own. Why bother lowering yourself to ask for help?"

  The Emperor Jun sighed, "If one cannot become a sage, he will end up as an ant." Then he glanced at the 'River Map' and 'Luo Book' in his hand and said, "You and I, brothers, have such treasures, but we still have to follow the lead of those people, it's really heartbreaking!"

  Di Jun and Tai Yi were talking when they arrived at the Eight Scenic Spots Palace of Tianwai Tian Shang Laojun. This time, they didn't get a cold reception, and instead, the two Water and Fire Boys came to pay their respects: "We've seen the You Huang and Dong Huang, the old master has invited you!"

  Two people followed the child into the Ba Jing Palace, where they saw the Taishang Laojun sitting upright on a meditation mat, with the Xuan Du Dafa Master standing beside him. The old man had his eyes closed and was cultivating his spirit.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi stepped forward and saluted: "We have seen the Holy One of Supreme Clarity."

  Lao Jun suddenly opened his eyes, and Emperor Taiyi felt as if two real lights were shooting towards him. Instantly, he was covered in cold sweat and couldn't move.

  After a while, Lao Jun slowly said: "You all go, I will teach that person the main points, and cannot cut off the Taoist lineage!"

  The two of them only felt a slight relief in their mood, but then they discovered that their clothes were almost wet. They exchanged a glance and bid farewell to Lao Jun, flying towards the Demon King's Palace.

  "On the road, Dong Huang Taiyi suddenly said: "Big brother, what's going on? One doesn't see us, and one sees us but scares us to death. This matter is probably not easy to handle!"

  The Emperor Jun, however, emerged from the Eight Scenic Palace without saying a word, only lowering his head to think about something. The Eastern Emperor Taiyi hastily said: "Big brother, you usually have many ideas, can't you say something?"

  Suddenly, Emperor Jun's face lit up with joy, and he said to Donghuang Taiyi: "Brother, I think I understand now. This matter has great potential!"

  "Big brother, what's going on? Don't just say half of it, let's get everything out in the open and be done with it!"

  The Emperor Jun said, "Brother, the Taishang Laojun of the Eight Scenic Palace told us, 'I will teach that person to be the master, and I cannot cut off the Taoist lineage!' What he meant was that Laojun is only concerned with his own Taoist lineage, not the life or death of that person's tribe. In other words, as long as we don't kill all the people of that tribe and leave some for Taishang Laojun to pass on the Taoist lineage, it will be fine! As for Nüwa, she doesn't see us, presumably because she is turning a blind eye to what we are doing, neither supporting nor opposing."

  Dong Huang Taiyi was a bit rough, but he wasn't a foolish person. Emperor Jun said something and he naturally understood the reasoning behind it. However, his mouth was very casual as he said: "These saints are being so secretive, just say what you want to say directly, why make it so mysterious?" After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly and quickened his pace.

  The Demon Emperor Jun returned to the Heavenly Court and refined a precious sword with the essence of the stars, naming it the Zhū Wū Sword. He then used the Demon- Summoning Flag to summon all demons, instructing them: "Human blood can rapidly increase one's cultivation, you demons may hunt and kill humans on your own, but human souls must be sent to the Demon Emperor's Palace." Upon hearing of a method to quickly increase their powers, the demons were overjoyed, cheering "Long live the Demon Emperor!"

  At that moment, the vast land was filled with the stench of blood and rain. The human race had experienced countless hardships over thousands of years to develop into a population of tens of millions. Who would have thought that such a disaster would befall them? The humans were no match for the hordes of demons, armed as they were with nothing but their bare fists. All they could do was burn incense day and night, praying for the protection of the Holy Mother and the Holy Master. But at this time, Kunpeng was still in seclusion, cutting off all contact with the outside world, so how could he know about the human situation? The goddess Nüwa and other saints knew that the Heavenly Way would thus cut off the demonic tribe's fortune, but they did not intervene, leaving the demons to slaughter the humans. Only Nüwa was secretly heartbroken. In the human race, only one person, Wudao, was protecting them, but his power was limited, and soon he too was severely injured.

  Under the heavens, the witch and demon tribes are about to become history, and humans will eventually become the masters of the world. The witch and demon tribes do not respect the heavens or worship saints, only listening to the twelve ancestral witches and the Eastern Emperor of Demons. Those saints who established great teachings could not pass on their teachings in the vast expanse where the witch and demon tribes were the main characters. Therefore, all the saints except for Nüwa, who had not yet established a teaching, were eagerly awaiting the early demise of the witch and demon tribes, so that humans could take to the stage of the vast expanse and continue their teachings. However, the saints ultimately could not directly take action against the witch and demon tribes, as even they could not bear the consequences of such a great deed.

  The rise and fall of the various tribes and sects in the vast wilderness all depend on the two words "qi yun". The twelve ancestral witches were originally violent, but they were also part of Pangu's bloodline, so they naturally shared some of Pangu's merits for opening up the sky. Considering how great those merits were, even though the ancestral witches only got a portion of them, it was still enough to suppress the witch tribe's qi yun. As for the demon tribe, having the Hunyuan Bell, one of the three greatest pre-heavenly treasures in the vast wilderness that was transformed from Pangu's axe, as well as the Hetu Luoshu, one of the top ten pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, to suppress their qi yun, they were also safe and sound.

  For tens of thousands of years, the two tribes of witches and demons have been unclear about the heavenly way, killing each other day and night without doing any good deeds. The aura has been slowly exhausted, but the hundred-footed worm is dead and not stiff. If this continues, it's unknown when it will end. After the saints founded their teachings, if there are no believers, they will find it difficult to pass on their legacy and eventually perish. Even saints are human, how urgent!

  At present, the demon clan is slaughtering the human clan to refine the sword of destruction, but it is actually self-destructive. Therefore, all the saints naturally understand this point and are united in their efforts. They think that as long as the human race does not become extinct, there will always be a day when they can flourish again, even if they were to die out completely, they could be reborn. Nüwa also understands this principle, but under the heavenly way, one cannot stand alone, and she has no power to change anything!
