Chapter 78: The Reaction of All Parties (2/2)
Goddess Nvywa was not the only one pondering this. Emperor Jun's and Taiyi's group, who had just returned to the Heavenly court, Three Pure Ones, as well as Jieyin's and Zhunti's group who had each respectively returned to their Ashram — all of them had been listening to the teaching for a millennium inside Wahuang Heaven. They naturally wanted to know about what had happened in the Untainted Land during the past 1,000 years. Everyone was shocked to learn about the Human Tribe.
It had only been 1,000 years since the Human Tribe was created, yet not only had their numbers grown astonishingly from the original 120,000 into more than ten million tribesmen, a practice law that was different from The Way of Celestial Immortality had also appeared inside the tribe, the Martial Arts. Furthermore, it was also a member of the Human Tribe who had created the practice. It was impossible for them not to be shocked by these!
What shocked them even more, was that Goddess Nvywa had received huge Merit from creating humans, thus becoming The Sage, while the Four Ancestors of Humanity also received merits of heaven for their tremendous contribution in the growth of the Human Tribe. When had merits of heaven become so little in value?
What was Merit? It was essentially a multi-purpose thing with a lot of function, such as increasing one's cultivation, dissipating one's Karma, refining Magical Weapons, dispersing one's heart's obsession and so on. In the Untainted Land, who wouldn't want to get more Merit? Yet there were only a few who were genuinely able to obtain it, and no one had ever expected that four of those people would appear at once among the Human Tribe. How could they not to be jealous?
Inside Mount Kunlun, Three Pure Ones who had just returned from Goddess Nvywa's teaching were gazing at the Coast of the East Sea, each bearing a different expression on his face. Honoured Lord of the Origin asked in confusion, ”Older brother, what exactly is so special about the Human Tribe? Junior Sister Goddess Nvywa became The Sage because of them and the Four Ancestors of Humanity also obtained Merit and achieved the Friut of Zenith Heaven because of them. But compared with the Sorcerer and Demon tribes, they are small and weak, there's no redeeming quality about them!”
Laozi counted on his fingers silently for a long time and gained nothing. He said, ”There must be something special about the Human Tribe Junior Sister Goddess Nvywa created. Otherwise, the Way of Heaven wouldn't send out Merit so frequently. All Four Ancestors of Humanity also achieved Zenith Heaven Fruit; one can see their extraordinariness, especially that Martial Ancestor of the Human Tribe. He could actually create a new path, really admirable. ”
Tongtian laughed and said, ”Haha, that is correct. The three other ancestors of the Human Tribe don't count for anything; but this ancestor of martial arts, Musen, is indeed extraordinary. If he were to be born several thousand years earlier, perhaps now he would be fighting against us. It's a pity he was born at the wrong time! ”
Honoured Lord of the Origin frowned. ”Third brother's words are wrong, ” He said. ”A tiny Human Tribe, how could they fight against us, the Pangu tribe? In the future don't say these kinds of words in front of others, you would cause our reputation to fall for no reason. ” Honoured Lord of the Origin loved his reputation. Seeing Tongtian mention Musen on equal terms with them, he would naturally be unhappy.

Holy Mountain of The West. After they returned, Jieyin and Zhunti were naturally attracted by the matters of the Human Tribe; an idea appeared in the two men's hearts after they saw how extraordinary the Human Tribe was. Although the west was vast, it was sparsely populated. If they could bring back some of the Human Tribe, the west could slowly grow stronger.
Zhunti knew that the Four Ancestors of Humanity had received merit of heaven, so he was envious of them. ”Senior brother, the luck of these Four Ancestors of Humanity was really good, they could actually obtain merit of heaven just by contributing in the growth of Human Tribe.” His speech was somewhat suffused with jealousy as he said this. ”But it wasn't bad for them to obtain Merit, especially that ancestor of martial arts, his aptitude is unique. If we could bring them to the west, our west would definitely be able to become strong. ”
Jieyin sighed. Zhunti's wholehearted schemes for the west had gradually been affecting his practice, Jieyin could only advise him, ”Junior brother, I know that you wholeheartedly want the best for the west, but the Human Tribe already has Martial Arts, and the ancestor of martial arts was the person who started it. How would he be willing to place himself under the two of us? It will be better for you and me to achieve enlightenment in The Foundation of the Great Way as quickly as possible so that we can quickly become The Sage. Regarding this matter, we'll discuss it again in the future. ”

As for Heavenly Court, when Emperor Jun returned, he blazed with wrath when he found out about the Human Tribe. But it wasn't surprising. In his eyes, the Human Tribe was the creation of Goddess Nvywa, the Sage of the Demon Tribe. For him it meant they were a subsidiary tribe of the Demon Tribe. Yet against all reason, not only was the Human Tribe quite close with the Wu Tribe, but they also frequently beheaded the Demon Tribe in the Untainted Land. This was simply a rebellion!
Unfortunately, Ancestor of Hongjun had decreed: demons govern the Heaven, sorcerers rule the Earth. To avoid giving a pretext to the Wu Tribe, Emperor Jun couldn't brazenly go to the Untainted Land. As for the matter about the Human Tribe, he could only tolerate them for the time being. Once he put an end to the Wu Tribe, he would find the Human Tribe and settle this account.
