Chapter 503
by fanqienovelChapter 503: The Myriad Tribes Gather
Regarding Yan Qingling, the sudden appearance of the Da Luo of the Human Race raised much curiosity among the Immortal Tribes about where she came from, but they still gave her the respect she deserved.
After all, a mid-stage Da Luo who primarily focused on the space rule could easily contend with both the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes in their eyes.
The Dragon Tribe specializes in the Water Rule, giving them average fighting power.
Although the Phoenix Tribe mastered the Fire Rule, it was still no match for the space rule.
As for the other Da Luo of the Immortal Tribes, they had even fewer objections.
A mid-stage Da Luo who primarily focused on the space rule could defeat them as easily as a parent dealing with a child.
Moreover, the most terrifying aspect of the space rule is that if you cannot win, escaping becomes impossible.
No matter how you try to flee, a being who controls the space rule can quickly catch up to you.
If you encounter a powerhouse specializing in other rules, even if you cannot win, you might still escape at some cost.
As long as you, as a Da Luo Golden Immortal, are not dead, your opponents dare not harm your tribe, fearing your retaliation and the possibility of brutal vengeance on their young.
However, when facing Yan Qingling, a powerhouse who specializes in the space rule, you cannot escape even if you want to. She can easily kill you and annihilate your tribe.
The demon tribe is particularly wary of Yan Qingling for this reason.
Although they see Yan Qingling as an irreconcilable enemy for having killed so many of their kin, they still maintain restraint in the presence of a mid-stage Da Luo specializing in the space rule.
If the demon tribe can put up with it, surely the Immortal Tribes can.
Furthermore, as a member of the Human Race and the Immortal Tribes’ camp, it wouldn’t make sense for such a powerful figure to foster animosity.
So, upon discovering that Yan Qingling specializes in the space rule, the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes promptly acknowledged the status of the Human Race.
During the Primordial Period, the Space Demon God could engage with Pangu without dying.
The Twelve Ancestor Witches were also top figures before the Witch and Demon Cataclysm.
Now, Yan Qingling, as a powerhouse who primarily focuses on the space rule, can hardly be harmed in the Kunlun Realm as long as she wishes it.
Thus, with Yan Qingling present, the Immortal Tribes cannot deny the status of the Human Race.
…
Nuwa Holy Realm.
On this day, all the Immortals above the true immortal realm of the Human Race gathered here.
The reason for this gathering was primarily the order issued by Yan Qingling, the Da Luo of the Human Race.
The news of Yan Qingling’s confrontation with the Da Luo of the Immortal Tribes and their subsequent words had spread rapidly among many.
At this moment, many learned that the Human Race not only had a Da Luo Golden Immortal but also a mid-stage Da Luo Golden Immortal.
Even the Da Luo of the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes acknowledged the status of the Human Race.
This news was indeed explosive.
Now that Yan Qingling, the Da Luo of the Human Race, issued a summons, the Immortals of the Human Race naturally gathered like clouds.
The Immortals above the true immortal realm of the Human Race were summoned by Yan Qingling.
However, besides the powerhouses in the true immortal realm, many Heavenly Immortals and even Earth Immortal Immortals of the Human Race also gathered.
This meant that most of the fighting power of the Human Race concentrated in the Nuwa Holy Realm within a short time.
At this moment, if a few Taiyi Golden Immortal powerhouses took action, they could easily eliminate most of the top fighters of the Human Race, making them the weakest tribe in the Kunlun Realm.
Of course, that was impossible.
In the entire Kunlun Realm, no tribe dared to attack the Human Race now.
The demon tribe did not dare, the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes did not dare, and the other Immortal Tribes certainly did not dare either.
“Does our Human Race really have a Da Luo?”
“Has our Da Luo been recognized by the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes?”
Many people, although they arrived at the Holy City of Nuwa, did not see Yan Qingling right away.
Thus, many remained skeptical about Yan Qingling’s existence.
Only the Immortals who were already in the Holy City of Nuwa had no doubts about Yan Qingling’s presence.
While many gathered in the Holy City of Nuwa, at this moment, Yan Qingling was in a star system of the Primordial Universe.
“These are my experiences and insights from transforming life planets over the years. You should learn these first, then start transforming life planets as soon as possible…”
In the starlit sky of a solar system, Li Xiaojun was teaching Yan Qingling how to transform life planets.
“My previous merits came from transforming life planets, which the Human Way rewarded me, and I used them all to help you improve your cultivation level.
Now, as you help me transform life planets, I will certainly share the merits gained later with you.
If you cultivate by yourself, it could take countless years to break through to late-stage Da Luo or even Hunyuan Golden Immortal. But if you help me transform life planets, the way I will use merits to help you improve your cultivation level will be much faster than if you practiced on your own,” Li Xiaojun encouraged Yan Qingling.
Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Yan Qingling nodded.
Even if Li Xiaojun didn’t give her merits to enhance her cultivation level later, she was willing to help her biological father transform life planets.
Li Xiaojun used merits to help her rise from Golden Immortal to mid-Da Luo Golden Immortal, saving her at least tens of millions of years in cultivation time.
So, even without merits later on, she was still willing to help her biological father transform life planets.
Of course, while Yan Qingling learned to transform life planets, she did not forget about matters in the Kunlun Realm.
“Qingqing, how is the ancestral ceremony preparation going?”
Yan Qingling asked He Qingqing using the system communication function.
“Sister Yan Qingling, it will be ready in about a month.”
“Alright, let me know when it’s ready. I will come to support you then.”
…
A month later, Yan Qingling had Li Xiaojun teleport her to the Kunlun Realm.
Outside the Holy City of Nuwa, a majestic altar towering ten thousand feet had been constructed.
Atop the altar stood a statue of a woman with a human head and a serpent body.
This statue represented Nuwa, the ancestor of the Human Race.
On both sides of Nuwa, stood the ancestors of the Human Race from the Primordial Period, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
This ancestral ceremony was organized by Yan Qingling after she reviewed some information about the Human Race in the Kunlun Realm.
There were several benefits to holding such a grand ceremony.
The first benefit was to announce Yan Qingling’s own identity to all the people of the Human Race.
At that time, it would definitely be Yan Qingling leading the ceremony, and everyone attending would come to know her.
The second benefit was to unite the hearts of the Human Race.
The Human Race in the Kunlun Realm had a large population and a vast territory, but it was divided into many different factions.
When the previous generation of Da Luo still existed, all factions of the Human Race followed the orders of the Da Luo.
After the fall of the Da Luo, only two Taiyi Golden Immortals remained, and the overall strength of the Human Race was divided into two factions.
In addition, each of these two factions had many smaller forces beneath them, which sometimes even turned against each other for their own interests.
Now, Yan Qingling was hosting the ancestral ceremony as the Da Luo of the Human Race, one of her goals was to unify all the major forces of the Human Race, allowing them to work together.
Furthermore, the third benefit was that Yan Qingling invited various tribes of the Immortal Race to attend the ceremony, where all the Da Luo Golden Immortals would come to elevate her status.
This also laid the groundwork for the Human Race to enjoy equal treatment with the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes in the future.
Only by making all beings of the Immortal Races aware of Yan Qingling and her power would other races come to respect the Human Race.
Without Yan Qingling, if the Da Luo of the Immortal Race forcibly elevated the Human Race’s status, other tribes would definitely feel discontent and would seek trouble with them.
However, with Yan Qingling’s presence, as long as various tribes recognized her, the Human Race could naturally raise its own status.
After Yan Qingling arrived in the Nuwa Holy Realm, her divine sense swept across, and she discovered that many representatives of different races had already come to the Holy City of Nuwa.
Even among the Immortal Race, three or four Da Luo had already arrived.
In addition to the Da Luo, there were over a hundred powerful Taiyi Golden Immortals.
This led many Human Race Immortals in the Holy City of Nuwa to act cautiously, fearing they would offend the powerhouses from other races.
“Notify all tribes, the Human Race will hold an ancestral ceremony in one month,” Yan Qingling instructed the group preparing for the ceremony.
At the same time, to intimidate the representatives of various races in the Holy City of Nuwa, Yan Qingling released her full divine sense pressure.
In an instant, countless beings felt the powerful pressure of Yan Qingling, who was in mid-Da Luo Golden Immortal stage.
Sensing such pressure, a few Da Luo of the Immortal Race did not react much.
However, many representatives of the Immortal Races were stunned by this overwhelming pressure.
There was no need to guess; all beings had already realized that this unfamiliar divine sense pressure belonged to the Da Luo of the Human Race.
After feeling Yan Qingling’s divine sense pressure, the Human Race confirmed her true existence.
Thus, many Human Race Immortals showed excitement.
In the Kunlun Realm, a tribe with a Da Luo enjoyed profoundly different treatment compared to one without.
Previously, when the Human Race had its Da Luo, it was one of the ten major tribes of the Immortal Race, and other tribes did not dare to bully them.
Since the fall of the Da Luo of the Human Race thousands of years ago, they lost most of their territory and frequently faced bullying from other tribes.
This psychological gap made it hard for many from the Human Race to bear.
Now, the Human Race had gained another Da Luo, so everyone was naturally very excited.
In contrast to the excitement of the Human Race, the representatives of other races could not feel happy, especially those who had bullied the Human Race after the fall of the previous generation of Da Luo.
The resurgence of the Human Race meant trouble for them.
Not only would they have to return the territory they had taken from the Human Race, but they would likely have to pay a hefty price to gain their forgiveness.
After Yan Qingling’s divine sense pressure served as a warning, the powerhouses of various races in the Holy City of Nuwa immediately calmed down.
In the following days, when these beings encountered lower-level cultivators of the Human Race, they were very polite.
As Yan Qingling decided to hold the ancestral ceremony in one month, soon the representatives from the Immortal Tribes kept arriving.
Upon learning that the Human Race had another Da Luo, and that she gained the recognition of all Da Luo from the Immortal Race, they naturally could not dare to stay away.
It was like how in the United Nations, when the five permanent members called a joint meeting, representatives from all countries were required to participate; in such a situation, who would dare not to come?
Just a few days before the ancestral ceremony of the Human Race, the representatives from the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes also arrived at the Holy City of Nuwa.
The representatives of the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes were led by the Da Luo Golden Immortals of their tribes, showing great respect to the Human Race.
Or one might say, they were showing great respect to Yan Qingling.
However, what no one expected was that, just two days before the Human Race’s ancestral ceremony, the demon tribe also sent a representative to the Human Race.
“Sister Yan Qingling, should we allow the demon representatives to come?” He Qingqing asked Yan Qingling.
Hearing He Qingqing’s words, Yan Qingling thought for a moment and nodded: “Let them come.”
With Yan Qingling’s permission, the demon representatives then entered the territory of the Human Race and obediently used the teleportation array guided by the Human Race to reach the Holy City of Nuwa.
The demon representatives were led by seven demon Taiyi Golden Immortals.
These seven demon Taiyi Golden Immortals represented the seven supreme races of the demon tribe, each of which had their own Da Luo Golden Immortal.
When the demons arrived at the Holy City of Nuwa, preparations for the ancestral ceremony of the Human Race were already underway.
“Demon Canghui, pays respects to the Great Celestial of the Human Race…”
“Demon Tailing, pays respects to the Great Celestial of the Human Race…”
“Demon Yinghongxiu, pays respects to the Great Celestial of the Human Race.”
…
When the demon representatives arrived, they immediately bowed respectfully to Yan Qingling, showing a level of reverence that was quite evident.
In addition to their respect, many beings noticed that these demon Taiyi were filled with more awe when facing Yan Qingling.
It was similar to how herbivores feel towards their natural enemies.
“Why has the demon tribe come to participate in the ancestral ceremony of the Human Race?”
Many were confused by the demon tribe’s actions.
Only the Da Luo Golden Immortals of the Immortal Race knew the reason.
Because during this time, the spies of the Immortal Race had finally uncovered a piece of information about the demon tribe.
That was six months ago when Yan Qingling from the Human Race single-handedly caused a river of blood among the entire demon tribe.
She forced the demon tribe to retreat, hiding all of their immortal-level beings within Luohu City, relying on the formations and protection of the seven demon tribe Da Luo Golden Immortals to survive.
For Yan Qingling, a powerful being who focused on the rule of space, all the Da Luo of the demon tribe could do nothing against her, making them resort to begging for mercy and reconciliation.
Upon learning about this, Ao Xing from the Dragon Tribe felt very fortunate that when he battled Yan Qingling, he had immediately surrendered upon discovering that she specialized in the rule of space.
Given that Yan Qingling could easily handle all the Da Luo of the demon tribe, who knew what might happen to him if he made an enemy of her?
In contrast to the calmness of the Da Luo of the Immortal Race, the representatives of various Immortal Tribes were quite shocked to see how respectfully the demon tribe treated the Da Luo of the Human Race.
With the demon tribe’s strength in the Kunlun Realm, it shouldn’t have participated in the ancestral ceremony of the Human Race.
Not only did they come, but they also brought representatives from the seven supreme races of the demon tribe.
After arriving, their attitude towards Yan Qingling was incredibly humble.
Such a scene could not help but astonish everyone.
“Demon envoy, please come this way.”
After greeting Yan Qingling, the Human Race’s reception personnel invited the demon representatives to a vacant position.
Once the demon representatives were seated, the ancestral ceremony of the Human Race officially began.
This ceremony was naturally presided over by Yan Qingling.
Under her guidance, the ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner.
First was the reading of the sacrificial text, which was quite simple and concluded in half an hour.
Then came the ancient ritual, offering sacrifices.
Yan Qingling waved her hand towards the altar below, and three demon corpses of Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm appeared on the altar.
Seeing this scene, countless representatives of the Immortal Tribes widened their eyes in astonishment.
Many immediately turned to look at the demon representatives.
However, many Immortal Tribe representatives found that even though Yan Qingling’s offerings were the bodies of three demon Taiyi Golden Immortals, they showed no sign of emotion.
It was as if the corpses on the altar were not demon bodies at all.
Upon witnessing the attitude of the demons, the representatives of the Immortal Tribes began to understand Yan Qingling’s power.
A person so strong that she could use demon Taiyi Golden Immortal corpses for sacrifices while the demon representatives dared not show any dissatisfaction spoke volumes.
“Worship the ancestor Nuwa…”
Soon, the ceremony progressed to the worship of the ancestors.
Hearing Yan Qingling’s words, every person from the Human Race bent down to bow to the statue of Nuwa without a moment’s hesitation.
As the Human Race worshiped Nuwa, Ao Xing brought the Dragon Tribe to bow before the statue too.
When many representatives of the Immortal Tribes looked over, Ao Xing lightly said, “The sage Nuwa was once the supreme of my beast tribe, so of course, my Dragon Tribe must pay our respects.”
Hearing Ao Xing’s words, the Phoenix Tribe, led by Yuan Shan, also bowed to Nuwa.
Seeing both the Dragon and Phoenix Tribes pay their respects, the other beast tribes naturally followed suit and bowed to the statue of Nuwa.
Only the demon representatives felt somewhat awkward.
While the beast tribes could be associated with Nuwa, the demon tribe had no connection to her at all.
However, under Yan Qingling’s piercing gaze, the demon representatives quickly communicated privately and also bowed to the statue of Nuwa.
Yet, what everyone did not expect was that as all the tribes finished worshiping Nuwa, suddenly, the altar radiated a golden light that shot up into the sky.
On the altar, the three demon Taiyi Golden Immortal corpses began to wither and vanish at a visible speed.
“What… what is happening?”
Seeing this scene, all the representatives from the various tribes were frozen in astonishment.
…
In the boundless chaos,
a breathtaking woman suddenly opened her eyes.
