Chapter 1033 The Core of the Human Race Cult

Why is there no martial arts saint family?

Zhou Nanwang clearly knew the content and immediately gave the answer, "Because of racial religion!"

what!
Upon hearing the familiar name, Zhou You's heart skipped a beat, stirring up many past memories.

The reputation of the Martial Saint of Myriad Manifestations is mixed, largely due to the Enchantress, with the remaining small portion attributed to the Human Race Cult.

If the Human Race Cult had not been created by the Martial Saint of Myriad Forms, it would have been the most wicked of cults and would have been destroyed countless times long ago.

Treating humans like livestock for selective breeding, even defying human ethics, all in the pursuit of creating "perfect humans," many of these methods are cruel, inhumane, and devoid of humanity.

Even today, although the religion of race still exists, it is viewed by the secular world as something evil.

In today's world, very few people openly declare that they believe in race religion!
However, Zhou You was certain that many seemingly respectable and powerful figures secretly had cult backgrounds.

The Golden Immortal Sect, the Human Race Sect, and the Buddha God Sect are generally the first choice for aristocratic families to have a second identity. Many people even have dual or triple identities, which is very complicated.

If it is a mild concept of racial education, such as eugenics and the rejection of the sick and weak, it will also be beneficial to the reproduction of strong and excellent offspring. Therefore, all the major families have adopted some of these ideas.

The most extreme and biased concept of "perfect man" is unacceptable to most people.

After briefly introducing the background of the Human Race Cult, Zhou Nanwang changed the subject, saying, "The existence of the Human Race Cult not only affected the formation and growth of the aristocratic family system, but also led to the ironclad rule that there are no aristocratic families among martial saints!"

Because the descendants of the Martial Saint possess enormous potential, theoretically they could replicate the miracles of their ancestor.

The Human Race Cult inherits the breeding philosophy of the Martial Saint of All Things, but it does not inherit the unparalleled power of the Martial Saint of All Things. Therefore, they cannot use the Martial Saint as a test subject, but the descendants of the Martial Saint can.

Under the manipulation of the higher-ups of various races, the bloodline left behind by the Martial Saint may flourish for a time, forming a huge family or power, but in the end, it will all be swept away by the winds and rains and decline.

In historical records, the descendants of the Martial Saint usually disappear without a trace, like a shooting star.

Who would have thought that there was a huge, clandestine force that had collected the bloodlines of the Martial Saints and was conducting experiments on 'Supreme Beings'?

Even though the Martial Saint of Myriad Manifestations has been dead for so many years, there are still people who dare to attempt to complete his unfinished plans.

"Grandmaster, do you perhaps have some knowledge of the core leadership of the Human Race Cult?"

Zhou You suddenly realized that there were also many mysteries surrounding Zhou Nanwang's rise to power. His starting point was no higher than Zhou You's, yet he had no interface.

How did Zhou Nanwang recognize his ancestors, gain favor with the feudal lord, and eventually rise to the position of Earthly Sect Master, being appointed as the governor of a prefecture?

Many outstanding sons of prominent families in Beijing, even those who are exceptional, could not achieve such remarkable success even after a lifetime of hard work.

Therefore, Zhou You harbored a deep-seated suspicion that Zhou Nanwang must have a powerful force supporting him.

The fact that Zhou Nanwang was able to bring him the ultimate martial arts techniques of the Tongyou Martial Saint some time ago further confirmed this guess.

During today's conversation, Zhou You almost thought that Zhou Nanwang was about to lay his cards on the table.

"That's right, I have ties to the Church of Humanity, but I am not a member of the Church of Humanity."

As if he had made up his mind, Zhou Nanwang revealed the secret he had kept hidden in his heart.

"Do you know that the Zhou family's ancestor was once a top general of the ancient sage king, charging into battle, sweeping away the barbarians in all directions, and making great contributions to the formation of the fifty states of the world!"

In ancient times, the martial saints overcame all obstacles, exterminating or suppressing all other races outside of humanity, thus stabilizing the core territory of the Nine Provinces.

In the medieval period, the main theme became territorial expansion. Sage rulers, armed with weapons and chariots, swept away barbarian tribes from all directions, expanding the territory from the nine provinces to fifty provinces.

For example, half of the six northern prefectures and the nearby southern border were annexed and recovered from outside during that period. Zhou You's ancestor was one of the Heavenly Sects of the medieval era. After achieving fame and success, he left behind the large Zhou family of Dijing, which has now split into two branches, East and West.

From ancient times to the Middle Ages, the most obvious change was the dramatic rise in the status of the monarch.

In ancient times, the Martial Saint was the main fighting force and the spiritual totem of the human race. He even had the power to depose and install monarchs.

However, in the Middle Ages, wars became battles between humans and barbarians, greatly enhancing the power of monarchs and noble families.

The Martial Saint relinquished his position as spiritual leader, retreated into the background, and wielded supreme power.

The medieval period was also the time with the most sage rulers and the most great achievements.

However, this does not mean that the Martial Saints declined during the medieval period. The real reason why the Martial Saints could not continue and until the end of the medieval period and the beginning of the modern era was only after the medieval period ended.

"My ancestor was a top-tier expert in the Heavenly Sect, and was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Martial Saint realm."

"He also had many friends of the same generation, one of whom stood out and became a Martial Saint. He was Gou Mang, the Martial Saint."

At this point, Zhou Nanwang explained, "Our ancestor was the only close friend of Gou Mang, the Martial Saint."

"When I left the North and was on my way to the capital, I met a man who claimed to be a descendant of the Martial Saint Gou Mang. It was from him that I learned about the friendship between our ancestors."

"I became close friends with him, only to find out that he was one of the core members of the Human Race Cult. Well, don't worry, I haven't joined the Human Race Cult."

“The true members of the Human Race Cult are all descendants of Martial Saints. Anyone with a slightly inferior bloodline, like myself from a Heavenly Clan family, is not qualified to enter.”

“Through him, I learned a lot about the inner workings of racial religion and also gained some resources.”

"I thought this was fine, until my friend suddenly died, severing all ties between me and the Human Race Cult."

"The Big Dipper and the Transfer Technique I gave you are his last legacy."

Zhou Nanwang reminisced about the past, his expression somewhat sorrowful, clearly indicating that his friendship with that descendant of the Martial Saint Gou Mang was truly excellent.

After a moment, he spoke, “Daqian, during your trip to Putuo Prefecture, you are very likely to encounter the Human Race Cult.”

"Remember, do not confront them head-on. Those descendants of martial saints are no ordinary people. Even a small sect like the Human Sect possesses terrifying power."

"I've only scratched the surface, yet I've achieved so much. Those core members will surely be even more formidable!"

Zhou You nodded. "I've remembered everything the Grandmaster instructed!"

On his journey to Putuo Prefecture, Zhou You only brought two attendants, Zhu Ruoxuan and Yan Baihu, while the rest of his personal guards remained at Nanchen Prefecture.

He brought with him two thousand demon-transforming cauldrons and a corresponding guard of the cauldrons, and the pharmacist also recruited a group of followers.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Nanwang, he set off from Lihuo Prefecture, passing through several southeastern prefectures on his way to Putuo Prefecture.

Along the way, the influence of the Buddhist sect changed from sparse to dense.

Putuo Prefecture is the area where the evil martial arts and the Buddhist sect fought, and most of the Five Heavenly Kings are located here.

Zhou You could foresee that he would see many familiar faces in Putuo Prefecture, including the legendary evil martial arts leader, the Sheep Demon.

The Demon Sheep commands thirteen evil martial arts masters, as well as countless other evil martial arts schools, which have assimilated and infected the entire state. In Putuo State, practicing evil martial arts is actually a normal thing.

The Buddhist sect can no longer conduct its business normally here. The corpses are neither buried nor cremated, but are used as consumables for cultivating evil martial arts.
