Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 97, Section 96: The Bewitching Aura of Calamity
In fact, Ji Yuan had misunderstood Haotian a long time ago, thinking that he was a self-centered and rather stubborn person.

However, after getting to know him, they discovered that Haotian's nature was quite like that of a child. After inheriting the position of Heavenly Emperor, he was truly thinking about the future of the prehistoric world. His thinking was also extremely open-minded. The Heavenly Rules he formulated were not as rigid as Ji Yuan had imagined, but rather extremely flexible. It was unknown what Haotian had experienced in the original timeline to formulate such strict Heavenly Rules.

The two exchanged only a few pleasantries and did not keep the female immortal waiting.

At a glance, Ji Yuan recognized the female immortal's background: she was none other than the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, who possessed immense power and authority, and had already been appointed as the God of War of the Heavenly Court by Haotian.

Haotian led Ji Yuan to the side of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and introduced him:
"This is the Goddess of War of my Heavenly Court, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and also the beloved disciple of the Queen Mother of the West."

Ji Yuan nodded and said with a smile:

"It's quite a coincidence that I came to the Heavenly Court to find the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked surprised upon hearing this, as she had never dealt with Ji Yuan before. She then asked:

"What business does the Heavenly Venerable have with me?"

Without any unnecessary words, Ji Yuan stated bluntly:
"The Heavenly Emperor has been born. I have foreseen that you will have a master-disciple relationship with him. This is a good opportunity to earn merit, but it will also bring about your death."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked puzzled.

"Heavenly Venerable One, why would this master-disciple relationship lead to such a deadly disaster?"

She is a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West and a war god of the Heavenly Court. Who would dare to offend the protection of destiny and lay a hand on her?
Ji Yuan slowly said:

"The Heavenly Emperor must undergo nine tribulations to truly inherit the Mandate of Heaven, and your tribulation will be among these nine tribulations."

As Ji Yuan finished speaking, amidst the intertwining of cause and effect, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden seemed to truly see herself undergoing tribulation and reincarnation once more.

But the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden showed no fear, and said domineeringly, "It's just a tribulation of death. If I shrink back because I'm afraid of life and death, how can I attain enlightenment and how can I assume the position of God of War?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden disdained the matter of the killing calamity, considering it merely a cycle of life and death, nothing to worry about.

After listening to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's bold words, Ji Yuan glanced at her admiringly, thinking, "She truly deserves to be called the God of War."

"The spirit of the Mysterious Woman is truly remarkable, but if she can avoid the calamity, why bother getting entangled in karma?"

Ji Yuan opened his palm, and a calming seal floated up and down as he handed it to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

After a moment's thought, she accepted it. The seal entered her spiritual platform, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden immediately felt her consciousness clear and all distracting thoughts vanish.

"This……"

"This is a unique hand seal I created, called the Tranquil Mind Seal. It allows you to maintain your true self during the tribulation and not be obscured by the tribulation energy," Ji Yuan explained to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. He then added, "Remember, I can teach you divine abilities and techniques, but you must never interfere directly. This tribulation is full of variables and is no small matter."

Seeing Ji Yuan's seriousness, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded emphatically, and then went straight into the primordial world.

After she left, Haotian asked Ji Yuan:
"Is this calamity really this perilous? Even with the combined blessings of the Heavenly Court and the Queen Mother of the West, it couldn't be saved?"

Ji Yuan smiled slightly, revealing a mysterious expression:
"Avoiding the calamity is just a pretext. Chi You's fate is strangely altered, and there must be a dark hand behind it. More importantly, I want to see who can become the common ruler of the human race, Chi You or Xuanyuan, without many helpers."

Both sides are human, so it doesn't matter who becomes the supreme ruler of the human race. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as he dares to show his face, Ji Yuan is confident that he can influence him.

Meanwhile, in the Youxiong clan.

Xuanyuan had grown into an adult by this time.

Guang Chengzi established the master-disciple relationship with Xuanyuan when he was young. After Ji Yuan's admonition, Guang Chengzi taught Xuanyuan with great care, allowing him to express his nature without spoiling him, rewarding him when he was right and punishing him when he was wrong.

Even at a young age, Xuanyuan possessed the countenance of a king, but Guangchengzi never told him that he was the chosen human emperor. Instead, he gradually guided him to look at the development of the entire human race, pointing out the way to govern the country and the methods of self-cultivation.

Guang Chengzi had only been in the human race for about ten years, but the development of the human race amazed him. Whether it was martial arts or various extremely creative things, they all impressed him. Therefore, he paid more attention to Xuanyuan's teaching.

…………

In the land of Southern Jambudvipa, Chi You, with his extremely imposing physique and bull horns on his head, together with his brother Li Ju, killed a tiger demon who had cultivated for thousands of years and was at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Carrying the tiger demon's body back to the Jiuli tribe, the other humans in the tribe had flushed faces and looked at Chi You with eyes full of worship. Their lineage was a mix of witch and human blood, and they revered the strong the most.

Chi You placed the tiger demon's corpse on the altar and activated his magic. The tiger demon's mountain-like body shrank rapidly until only a drop of extremely pure blood remained.

He poured his blood into a large, menacing blade, and instantly a phantom tiger appeared, its malevolent energy condensing within it. The blade trembled slightly, as if it had come to life.

"Hahaha."

Chi You stroked his broadsword with a satisfied expression and laughed heartily.

He was inspired by Shennong's creation of martial arts and the way of Lingnong.

Since martial arts use the human body to temper blood and qi, and spiritual farmers hybridize spiritual roots to make their offspring even better, then this method must also be applicable to weapons.

As expected, he forged this divine weapon, which was poured with endless blood and mixed with malevolent energy, resentment, and bloodlust.

"Since you have achieved your final sublimation using the bones and blood of a tiger demon, then you shall be called Tiger Soul."

Chi You quickly named the greatsword.

Since birth, he has had an inexplicable love for weapons, as if he were born to be the master of all weapons, and the path he cultivates is also the way of weapons.

Using his body as a furnace, he forged countless weapons into his bones and blood. With every punch and kick, weapons materialized, and a murderous aura surrounded him. Now, with the Tiger Soul in hand, Chi You's strength had reached its peak.

Holding the tiger's soul in his hand, Chi You grinned at the vast human race, but dared not utter a sound, only whispering in his heart:
"If Fuxi and Hongyun became emperors, why can't I?"

"Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan, you never thought I'd be back again, did you? This time, I'm going to turn the human race upside down!"

A flash of hatred crossed his eyes.

...............

As the human race's fortune rapidly increased, Shennong's strength grew stronger and stronger, but similarly, conceiving offspring became extremely difficult.

However, with the blessing of Ji Yuan's Great Dao of Procreation, Tingyao gave birth to another daughter for Shennong, named Yaoji.

Shennong was extremely busy with many affairs of state, so the task of educating Yaoji fell to Nüwa.

One day, Nvwa was playing outside with Yaoji when suddenly a black aura surged into Nvwa's mind, and her eyes immediately became dull. She then flew towards the East Sea with her younger sister Yaoji, and strangely, no one noticed.

On the shore of the East China Sea, Nüwa threw Yaoji directly into the sea.

A murmur came from the void:
"Finally showed up!"
