Chapter 597: Chapter 547: Life Simulation – Emperor Xi
One hundred and thirty-seven years old: After decades of constant conflict and warfare, the entire wilderness was engulfed in flames of war. All races were embroiled in this overwhelming war, with no kind able to avoid it. Irrespective of whether the race was powerful or weak, they were all actively or passively fighting in the chaotic world, striving for survival and struggling for any chance of survival.
The rise of the human race was a cause of shock amongst countless races. Against the backdrop of a relentless series of wars, the advantage of the large population of the human race finally came to the fore. Even though the constant warfare resulted in numerous deaths, it also allowed the humans to acquire more resources due to their continued success in plundering. This allowed them to nurture more fighters and elevate their status in the wilderness.
Although Pei Xi, the leader of the human tribe, was only a beginner at the Sixth Level, his reputation soared after he continually killed a number of mid-Sixth Level fighters. This earned him the respect of numerous powerful beings and he was honored as Emperor Xi by all tribes.
The reverence for Emperor Xi was not just for his formidable strength but also for the path and law he established.
He studied clouds in the sky, rain, snow, lightning, wind, fog, and beasts on the ground. Based on the principles of Yin and Yang changes in Heaven and Earth, he created the Eight Trigrams. This simplistic yet deep system was used to explain everything in the wilderness, which was greatly respected by all tribes.
More importantly, Pei Xuanjing discovered that while all tribes in this world have their own cultural heritage, there existed a barrier amongst them that prevented real communication.
So he introduced the script of the Daming World into this world as the inherited script of the human race, and strongly promoted it to all tribes in the wilderness.
However, the script Pei Xuanjing promoted was not the mature script of Daming World, but the initial and ancient pictographs. This type of script, simple and clear, was much easier for the human race to learn.
Pei Xuanjing’s bold move was greatly admired by all races. Even many races in conflict with Pei Xuanjing’s Qilin Clan respected his action as saintly and wise.
In this year, the status of the human race had also risen to the forefront of the all tribes in the wilderness. Although they were still not on par with those naturally powerful races, they were no longer looked down upon by any race.
In addition to Pei Xuanjing’s wisdom and strength, his position within the Qilin Clan alliance also rose rapidly. After achieving several impressive victories through his planning and strategizing, he was considered a trusted aide by the Qilin Clan and heavily relied upon. It was at this time he discovered the true purpose of the formation of these alliances: longevity.
Everything stemmed from the desire for immortality.
The wilderness world seemed to have existed for many years, but how many years it indeed existed was unbeknownst to anyone, including the oldest and most powerful races.
But all races knew one thing for sure; nobody could attain longevity in this wilderness world. Regardless of the race or the strength of the ultimate fighter, no one had ever achieved immortality before.
Even the Nirvana Method of the Phoenix Clan who claimed to be immortal, and whether the Phoenix who survived the Nirvana Flame was still the original Phoenix, were matters that many other races viewed with skepticism.
But decades ago, a highly confidential message began circulating among powerful races. This confidential message concerned a method for achieving immortality.
According to this information, the wilderness world has bred a Heavenly Mandate. The race that secures this Heavenly Mandate could produce truly immortal beings.
Holding an immortal being was highly desirable for many races, only then their tribes can perpetually remain strong, standing tall in the wilderness world.
Being recognized as a powerful being, particularly one with significant strength, could anyone really accept their life wilting away without fighting it?
The existence of this Heavenly Mandate served as a fuse, many powerful races started forming alliances in an attempt to obtain the Heavenly Mandate and achieve immortality in the wilderness world, thereby becoming an eternal tribe.
However, although the Heavenly Mandate was rumored to exist, no one knew exactly how it would manifest. So, despite alliances having been established, precaution was maintained with no one wanting to act prematurely and give others an advantage.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xuanjing’s initial action served as the catalyst for countless tribal alliances to begin warring. Alliances could no longer afford any delay, they each began to act out to the fullest of their abilities.
After decades of war, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan had emerged as the three most powerful alliances in the wilderness world. Almost all races submitted to them. Other powerful races had formed alliances that either got destroyed or absorbed by them, with no room left to exist independently.
At that time, only these three alliances existed in the entire wilderness. Their words represented the will of the wilderness, with no race daring to defy them.
One hundred and forty-five years old: After practicing in this world for over a hundred years, Pei Xuanjing has yet to break through to the mid-Sixth Level, equivalent to the Eightfold Realm of Spirit. It was only at this point that he truly understood the difficulty of ascending in the Nine Realms of Spirit, which seemed to touch the sky with each step.
But Pei Xuanjing didn’t hurry. He continued his daily routine of refining his internal Golden Core and exploring the Taoist Skills of this world. Although his Skill Realm hadn’t improved, it didn’t mean Pei Xuanjing’s battle strength hadn’t changed at all.
In these past hundred years, Pei Xuanjing consolidated his life’s learning and continuously concluded and sorted it out, eager to create a path and law unique to himself. He had also mastered the seventh technique in swordsmanship. His use of the Talisman Method was unpredictable.
Most notably, his spiritual consciousness and the Divine Ability of External Incarnation had greatly improved. With Pei Xuanjing’s current spiritual consciousness, he could immediately materialize anywhere within the territory of the Human Alliance. This incarnation also possessed the strength to suppress the beginner level fighters of the Sixth Level.
This was precisely why Pei Xuanjing, the Emperor Xi of the human race, was feared by many races. After all, no one knew when a sudden appearance of a Sixth Level strongman would occur during a clash with humans.
One hundred and fifty years old: When Pei Xuanjing had been in this world for a hundred and fifty years, the previously quiet three-tribe alliance began to stir again, with the intentionally constrained friction amongst them once again increasing.
Based on the information Pei Xuanjing received from the Qilin Clan, he confirmed one thing: the rumored Heavenly Mandate was about to emerge, and it would depend on which race would get this real Heavenly Mandate in the end.
The leader of the Qilin Clan, Mo Qilin, immediately decided to mobilize troops to defeat the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, paving the way for obtaining the Heavenly Mandate in the future.
He immediately commanded the human tribes to be prepared to take action when the time was right.
