Chapter 75: The Human Tribes Spiritual Inheritance (2/2)
Besides, although the Human Tribe would become the rule of Heaven and Earth in the Untainted Land at the end of the Cultivation Tribulation, at this time, they were still under control of The Sage. The religions of The Sage had already cultivated in The Way of Celestial Immortality for such a long time. Therefore, there would be no possibility for the Human Tribe to become stronger than the other tribes if they chose to cultivate The Way of Celestial Immortality.
In the long-term, even if the Three Royals and Five Emperors [1] got enormous Merits, they were enough for them to reach the stage of Sage-to-be, but where would they be in the end? And they would be pressed in the Fire Clouds Cave years later. If there were eight Martial Artists at a similar stage of Sage-to-be and they were the Human Sovereigns, even The Sage couldn't bother them directly. After all, eight Martial Artists at the stage of Sage-to-be would have incredible power.
Besides, the Three Ancestors of the Human Tribe had disappeared since the age of Three Royals and Five Emperors began. Nobody knew where they were. Maybe they were also in a serious situation. Therefore, if the Human Tribe chose to cultivate the Way of Celestial Immortality, would they really become the ruler of Heaven and Earth in Untainted Land?
These days, the Sorcerer Demon tribes were fighting against each other. Owing to the strong force of the two tribes, The Sage Hongjun wouldn't directly interfere with the war between them. If the Human Tribe could have that kind of force, they wouldn't be afraid of The Sage anymore. If The Sage did anything harmful to the Human Tribe, the humans wouldn't follow any of the religions that The Sage had built.
Because of their weakness, the Human Tribe was under the control of The Sage. Musen hoped his tribe could get rid of any control from others, including The Sage. He believed he wouldn't yield to his fate since he had been reborn. He knew that the Human Tribe must follow their own way of Tao, not The Way of Celestial Immortality otherwise they would become the Puppets of The Sages later.
Therefore, Musen chose Martial Arts as their Tao. Not only would it be affected by some novels about Martial Arts in the later world, but also, he realized that there would still be some Martial Artists after thousands of years. Martial Arts would be more suitable for the Human Tribe than The Way of Celestial Immortality.
Thinking of this, Musen immediately got in contact with Minghe who was staying in the Blood Sea. Understanding Musen's idea, Minghe agreed with him completely. Martial Arts was nice indeed. He started to Prediction cultivation methods of Martial Arts through his Magical Tao Mirror and then delivered all he had predicted to Musen.
While Minghe predicted the methods, Musen was cultivating. By the time Minghe finished his Prediction Musen had ascended the Realm of Daluo Golden Immortal. Then, they prayed for the Way of Heaven and set the Spiritual Inheritance of Martial Arts for the Human Tribe. Naturally, Merits fell down from the Heaven because they had done something beneficial for the Human Tribe. To their surprise, a Taoist characters ”Wu” also showed up in the sky.
Taoist characters, which the Hundred Tribes of Untainted Land knew clearly, were not rare in Untainted Land. However, this Taoist characters ”Wu” awarded by the Way of Heaven had never shown up in the Untainted Land. Besides, the ”Wu” character was not simply a Taoist characters. It contained The Law of Martial Arts and The Way of Martial Arts. If someone could enlighten it long-term, his cultivation of Martial Arts would be really powerful.
As for the Merits, Musen hadn't decided where to use them, so he stored them temporarily in the ”Wu” character. Musen had planned to integrate these Merits into the ”Wu”, but this Taoist character was different from Spiritual Treasure which could absorb the Merits to enhance their power. Therefore, Musen could only store the Merits in it for a while.
After that, Musen started his 49-year teaching of Martial Arts to the Human Tribe, from the basic Martial Student to Heaven Clashing Level (the stage similar to Daluo Golden Immortality). As for the higher Fate Reading Level and the Martial Saint, he didn't plan to mention these in this teaching. As a Martial Artist at Daluo Golden Immortality, Musen shouldn't have had the ability to predict out the complete Law and Way of Martial Arts by himself. He didn't want others to know his secret.
After finishing his teaching, Musen started his Closed Door Meditation and tried his best to enlighten the ”Wu” character. Meanwhile, the three Ancestors of the Human Tribe knew that The Way of Celestial Immortality would have both benefits and disadvantages for the Human Tribe, and they hoped their tribe would not be controlled by the others. Therefore, they chose to trust Musen and started to cultivate the Martial Arts. They needed to enhance their force at once with the Spiritual Inheritance of the Martial Arts to protect their tribe.
After a very short hundred years, the Human Tribe became much stronger than before. With the Law and Way of Martial Arts, plenty of Martial Arts talents were showing up in the Human Tribe. Most of them had already reached the stages of Martial Mentor or Martial General, and some outstanding talents had even broken through the stage of Martial Supreme (also known as the Black Immortal). The abundance of Spiritual Air and Treasures of Heaven and Earth played an important role. In years to come, it wouldn't be as important as it was now.
The three Ancestors of the Human Tribe cultivated the Martial Arts more easily since they were actually at the stage of Daluo Golden Immortality and could constantly absorb the Luck of the Human Tribe. During these years, they ascended the Heaven Clashing Level, which was equal to the Daluo Golden Immortality. Although they were just at the early Heaven Clashing Level, they were far more powerful than before.
