Chapter 88: Millennium Development

Musen did not completely spread the Way of Celestial Immortality among the Human Tribe. Martial and celestial cultivators in Sacred Land of Spiritual Inheritence could freely come and comprehend these Enlightenment Tablets, but outside it, only basic transforming exercises were available. This was meant to leave humans a firm cultivation foundation.

Martial and celestial cultivators of the Human Tribe who were away could enter the Holy Land to cultivate after reaching the stage of Earth Changing (Primordial Unity Black Immortal). It did not matter whether they had gone through the selection process. This would allow the gathering of the elites of the tribe. This way, even if the Human Tribe suffered a misfortune, they could still conserve their force.

Besides, they had also discovered a human flaw. The body condition of humans was gradually deteriorating from generation to generation. Even if their population rapidly increased, fewer and fewer cultivators were able to pass the selection.

The most important aspect of achieving the Way of Celestial Immortality was the inherent nature of the cultivator. If things continued this way, there would be fewer cultivators and many more ordinary humans. The cultivation of Martial Arts was different. It emphasized on persistence, with body condition and comprehension being the least important factors. If a human persevered in practice, there would at least be some progress. If he had a little perception and given opportunities, he would succeed in the end.

In the next thousand years, Sacred Land of Spiritual Inheritance expanded endlessly. A selection was held every decade. Though fewer cultivators passed the selection, there were often great talents who showed up. Among the growing number of humans, even just one talent was sufficient for the development of the Human Tribe.

The Human Tribe became formidable after developing over a peaceful millennium. Not only was the force inside the sacred land greatly enhanced, but so was the force outside. No one could underestimate the force of the tribe anymore. The tribe was full of Martial Supremes or Black Immortals. Some human tribes leaders had even reached the stage of Heaven Changing or Golden Immortality.

With the spread of Martial Arts and the Way of Celestial Immortality among humans, their strength was greatly enhanced. In just a millennium, their population increased from 10 million to 10 billion. This left the other creatures in Untainted Land completely shocked.

Coast of the East Sea was no longer enough to accommodate the rising number of humans so the tribe had to expand their territory to the mainland of Untainted Land. Untainted Land was so vast and boundless that not even the ruler of this land, the Wu Tribe, could occupy the whole land. The Wu Tribe merely chose to develop in better parts of the land, while the rest were mostly occupied by the Demon Tribe.

With fewer treasures for cultivation and under the pressure of Wu Tribe, the Demon Tribe in Untainted Land was different from that in Heavenly Court. What was worse, the tribes within the tribe would fight against each other for profits. And at this time, the expansion of the Human Tribe into Untainted Land stressed them even more so.

When Emperor Jun first migrated to Heavenly Court, he brought most of his Demon Tribe with him, leaving behind only some weaker demons. Facing the persecution of the Wu Tribe, they became weaker and weaker. They were now even worse than some tribes of the Human Tribe. Fragmented, they scattered in every corner of the land and had no strength to resist the Human Tribe expansion.

Three Ancestors of the Human Tribe were delighted about their tribe's expansion, since it was what they had hoped for. Even without their three ancestors, the tribe now had enough power to fight against the Demon Tribe.

Musen was also happy to see the development of his tribe, but he still worried about the dangers that his tribe would face. What they were fighting against was just the Demon Tribe in Untainted Land, which was abandoned by those in Heavenly Court. Under the suppression of the Wu Tribe, the so-called Demon Tribe did not have actually have a powerful force.

If the tribe in Heavenly Court waged a war against his tribe someday, humans would have no power to resist. However, the Human Tribe expansion was necessary, since Coast of the East Sea could not hold any more humans.
