659 The Great War (2/2)
If it wasn't for him still needing these demons in the future, his discourteous standards would've been driven out with beating sticks long ago.
…
”The Path of the Ghost Deity?!”
Inside the Kun Xie army camp, Kun Xie wore a Taoist robe and discussed the transformations of the demon tribe with a few allied forces.
”Indeed… This demonic spirit's immortality technique has cultivated a small portion of eternal spiritual awareness, traversing the realms and reincarnating as a human!”
An Immortal Cultivator slowly stroked his beard. ”Only… this technique is very difficult. Even amongst the demons, only a few are able to cultivate to this standard on their own. Hence, it was mostly the golden-winged Pengornis contributing, personally protecting and realizing it…”
The demon tribe must be spiritual beasts that are able to cultivate. However, in this realm, it mostly consisted of dumb domestic animals.
The golden-winged Pengornis used the Path of the Ghost Deity to realize those with potential, allowing them to traverse the realms and reincarnate anew as humans in order to open up their spiritual intelligence and allow them to naturally make rapid progress when cultivating.
This is also the reason for the flourishing strength of the Xuan Nation and the extraordinary abilities of its army.
”That year when we heard the ancient Gods preach, that golden-winged Pengornis and nine-tailed fox were both legendary creatures within the demon tribe and could realize the Ghost Deity Path, but it wasn't that surprising…”
Kun Xie was in deep thought. ”Among our kind, Peng's qualifications and comprehension were our first priority. Luckily, that person, at the time, assisted Li Rubi and was also part of our camp.”
”The ambitions of the demon race were already well-known at the time. Kun Xie, being a leader of our kind, you should bring order out of chaos and return peace to our land!”
An Immortal Cultivator named ”Li” stood up and spoke righteously.
His suggestion was instantly supplemented and agreed upon by many people. ”The Ghost Deity of the demon tribe is just a small path. Our only actual ambition is the major human tao.”
In order to differentiate from the demon tribe, they called their own cultivated deity path ”Human Deity,” which means the path that the human race cultivates to become a deity.
Suddenly, a servant rushed over quickly and handed over a note.
Kun Xie looked and his face instantly changed. ”Shi Sheng? Kun Wu mountains?”
”Brother, what happened?”
A few brothers asked in succession.
”This is good news. The Mountain tribe has obtained a new mutant they call 'Shi Sheng' who came from Kun Wu mountain…” Kun Xie hesitated for a while but still said the truth, ”This mountain leader is suspected to be the Holy Man of Beginnings!”
”What? He's Master?”
A few cultivators were elated. ”Our kind must head over and personally pray to him!”
”We will discuss all of this after the war!”
Kun Xie waved his hand with slight frustration, and a shadow from five years ago seemed to appear.
This shadow that blocked the sun and covered the heavens, it swallowed the magical power of over ten thousand soldiers in one mouthful and was like a nightmare that constantly circled around him.
Even though he had recruited that the Immortal Cultivator disciples from that year, it only slightly improved his confidence a little.
Furthermore, there was another piece of information that he didn't reveal.
”The cultivator from Kun Wu mountain isn't alone! There is someone else that's extremely likely to be inside the Xuan Nation's camp!”
Although his heart was a little disturbed, he was powerless at the moment, and he had to face the treacherous deep abyss if he took a step back! Even Kun Xie had no choice but to lower his head and move forward.
…
D-day.
Loud bursts of noise coming from the beating drums shook the heavens and earth.
Tens of thousands of soldiers converged and displayed their battle formation on the plains in three different camps.
”Today's war will determine who will be in control of everything, and it is the key to the life or death of our demon tribe…”
The teenager who had transformed from the large golden-winged Pengornis sighed and looked at the armies opposite him. ”At the key moments, I will once again use my abilities and magical powers!”
”Definitely not!”
The beautiful lady at the side hurriedly refused. ”Last time, you had already injured your foundation, and as of now, you have yet to fully recover. If you do it again, I'm afraid…”
”For the long-term cause of my race, what difference does a mere tiny injury make?”
The Pengornis laughed without restraint and looked at the battlefield.
At this moment, the soldiers of the three factions had already begun a brief skirmish.
Seeing that even though the Xuan nation army had a lot of people, they faced the few but elite Kun Nation and Mountain tribe armies, but they seemed to be locked in a stalemate.
”Indeed… there is great fortune on Kun Xie's faction. Perhaps he is the next king!”
The teenager that had transformed from the Pengornis saw this scene and instantly sighed. There seemed to appear a shapeless staircase in front of him that allowed him to walk step by step into the skies.
”It's him!”
While delegating tasks down the ranks, Kun Xie's expression became stern. ”All Brothers, prepare!”
Just as the big war was about to start, Yuan Hong also found the Shi Sheng, and his face inadvertently flushed red with anger. He came to the front of the Mountain tribe and said loudly, ”Shi Sheng, why do you have to cause trouble for me? Don't you know that this Li Rubi was that evil dragon that escaped before?”
”This… when I went down the mountains, the elder only ordered me to choose a leader to assist to govern the country…”
The Shi Sheng scratched his head and used a straightforward and good-natured voice to speak.
At the same time, his heart turned even colder. What if the sentence: ”Everyone has their own leader” from the Holy Elder, had already long predicted his choice?
”Argh… This is pissing me off!”
After hearing such a roundabout explanation, Yuan Hong was livid with anger. ”Shi Sheng… Our mutual affection will end today, and we will meet on the battlefield. Do not blame me for not considering our previous relationship!”
