Chapter 1226

Zhou You's eyes allow him to observe the world from different perspectives, such as those of Lu Zhigang and Xiaoyaozi.

Therefore, the moment he saw Senluo Wu, he activated his profound power and captured his contact with Mingqiu before he set off.

Through this connection, we can deduce the approximate origin of the Holy King.

The history of the human race is divided by the Nine Cauldrons. The general public only knows that the Nine Cauldrons created the world, so they think that the world before the Nine Cauldrons was a blank, and even heaven and earth were in a state of chaos before creation.

In reality, before the celestial beings descended to earth and bestowed the Nine Tripods upon the world, there was still a vibrant and thriving place between heaven and earth.

Countless strange species live, reproduce, or perish on this land.

There was a time when the distinction between the Witch Clan and the Human Clan was not as clear-cut as it is now, because compared to other species, the difference between the two-legged beasts was basically negligible.

Later, they drifted apart due to differences in customs and habits.

As other species could not adapt to the changes in the world and went extinct one by one, the witch clan and the human clan began to fight endlessly for the right to be the main force in the world, and each developed their own culture, including martial arts and civilization.

Even after the Nine Cauldrons descended to earth, some of the most powerful members of the Witch Clan chose the same path as the Primordial Martial Saint, attempting to lift the Nine Cauldrons. Unfortunately, the Primordial Martial Saint was a unique genius; he succeeded, while the others failed.

In that era, lifting the Nine Tripods was an unprecedented feat, a path that had never been tested before.

Even the defeated witch clan powerhouses possess unparalleled material resources comparable to the witch king, which, measured by their current level, is equivalent to a level infinitely close to the end of the Heavenly Ladder.

But failure is failure, and failing to lift the Nine Tripods only leads to certain death.

Among countless losers, an anomaly was born.

These pioneers were revered as 'ancestral witches'. They not only constructed the witch clan's training system, but also invented many secret techniques, such as the Gu worms and poison weapon systems that have been passed down to this day.

Among them, the ancestral shaman of the totem devoted his entire life to thoroughly analyzing his own physical body and martial intent, recording the details with totems, and distributing them to various shaman tribes, where they were passed down from generation to generation.

This is an incredibly clever move; it achieves a certain degree of immortality through a method so complex it cannot be replicated.

However, this method was too difficult. After the totem ancestor failed to lift the nine cauldrons, his soul was scattered, leaving no trace, just like his other counterparts.

As for the totem he derived from his own analysis, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Although it has undergone modifications and improvements over the generations, there has never been a part that has been lost.

Under normal circumstances, what the ancestral shamans leave to their descendants is only the totem system.

Until the turning point came...

In order to suppress the Heavenly Maiden, Zhou You did not hesitate to use the power of the Great Thousand Seal to break through the sun and suppress her with the intent of ascension.

The sun is the superior state of the real world. After it was broken, a trace of energy seeped into reality, triggering a series of reactions.

One of these points is that the consciousness of the totem ancestral witch has awakened, and the area covered by the totem of the Northern Witch Clan is now far more than hundreds of millions of acres.

Each totem is like a cell tissue that he lost. As long as he patiently collects and reassembles them, in time, the ancestral totem witch of yesteryear can make a comeback.

However, a core must be chosen, and this core falls on Mingqiu Mu.

"I see!"

Zhou You sighed with admiration. While the human race had a legend of a Martial Saint, other races also had their own 'Martial Saints'.

For example, the Totem Ancestral Witch, whose status in the Witch Clan was comparable to that of the Human Clan's Martial Saint, created the Totem System and developed a backup resurrection method, which can be described as a miracle.

Such a figure might not be a match for the original Martial Saint, but in a different era, even a slightly weaker Martial Saint would have a headache dealing with him.

"Mingqiu is busy, the ancestral totem witch?" Zhou You gleaned this secret from the operation of the profound power.

No wonder the Witch Clan has made rapid progress, with a surge of experts and powerful figures; the root cause is... the Totem Ancestral Witch.

This person used totems as a net to absorb the essence of countless shamans, and then fed it back, forming a huge positive feedback loop.

This directly led to Mingqiu's promotion to half-saint, and the great shamans were promoted one after another, revitalizing many decrepit shaman leaders.

Under his behind-the-scenes manipulation, the sorcerers used the combined power of their clan to destroy Bei Xuanzhu and seize control of the six northern states.

Once you think about the other person's background, such achievements immediately become logical. He led the witches to fight against the entire human race for the world back then, and he may have even been able to compete with the original Martial Saint.

Such a terrifying being, even if it has only regained a sliver of consciousness, is no ordinary being.

Fortunately, the other party did not personally intervene, but instead excluded Senluo Wu. Senluo Wu was no small figure either; he possessed the Senluo Chapter of the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint and had now risen to the level of Great Witch Chief.

Yes, the one who directly confronted Senluo Wu's clone was Xiaoyaozi.

"Xiaoyaozi, I'm in a hurry, you're the first one I'll come to destroy."

"Do you know why? Because you are the key to this battle. If we kill you, the others will be no match for us!"

"The myriad phenomena of the universe and all things in the world follow certain rules. By grasping these rules, one can get to the heart of the matter."

Senluo Wu said calmly, "The chaos that has arisen from all sides, seemingly precarious, can actually become an opportunity for victory."

"For example, this time, you joined forces to launch an attack, attempting to overthrow the rule of my Wu people. At first glance, it seemed to be in full swing, but it harmed those hidden remnants, such as the Bei Xuan Zhu and the Zhou family."

"I have ordered my men to sweep through their hiding place. Guess whether Liu Jingguo and her men are here to rescue you, or to save Zhou You's children and descendants?"

The last sentence was a scathing remark, indicating that the speaker was aware of the other person's relationship with Zhou You.

There are some truly skilled shamans out there; it seems someone has already guessed my position behind the scenes.

Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly, “Senluo Wu, the four seasons, the sun and moon, all things have their time and season, there is rise and fall. Today you should enter your own season.”

"The sorcerer has usurped the martial saint's legacy for many years. You deserve to atone for your sins with your death and return the legacy!"

"By you?"

Senluo Wu sneered, "You? The last one who said that still has his skull buried under my poison pool."

"That's right, I alone am enough!"

Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly, "I've long heard that the totems of the shamans are powerful. Your totems have made rapid progress in recent years, but I'd like to know, are your totems stronger, or is the seal script of my Golden Immortal Path more powerful!"

He pointed to the ground and shouted, "Bring the cauldron!"

An object, appearing as a dark shadow, burst forth from the earth; it was a bronze cauldron buried deep underground.

Since the invasion of the witches, one family after another has been destroyed, their clan cauldrons have been melted down or smashed, and the merit cauldrons of many forces have been scattered and melted down into weapons to fight against the witches.

Occasionally, some tripods are taken deep underground and will inevitably decompose into part of the soil.

But this cauldron was lucky; it was discovered by Xiaoyaozi before it was destroyed, and it saw the light of day again, becoming the vessel for his seal script.

Senluo Wushen's expression turned solemn. Once the seal script of the Golden Immortal Path had a physical form, its power was incomparable to what it used to be.
