Chapter 32 Humanity and Virtue
Inside the main hall, Shan Li, Cang Yan, and Di Wu recounted the dream to Mo Yuan in detail, pointing out that it was a decree issued by the sage of the Human Sect, ordering them to worship the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable.
After learning all the details, Mo Yuan's eyes were filled with helplessness, and he let out a long sigh.
He taught the Pan Shi tribe about funeral rites and introduced the way of spirit worship. He thought that this was just in line with the general trend of heaven and would benefit the local people. But he never expected that he would still get himself into trouble.
At this moment, Mo Yuan understood even more the significance of being the protagonist of the future prehistoric world, and realized that if he became entangled with the human race, he could not extricate himself from the situation.
The Heavenly Venerable Who Relieves Sins from the Nine Netherworlds is worshipped by the incense offerings and vows of the human race and enjoys the blessings and protection of humankind.
For Mo Yuan, it was an opportunity.
But with great power comes great responsibility. He will need to act promptly when humanity is in peril, or he will suffer a backlash, which could result in damage to his cultivation or even the collapse of his Dao heart.
"That's enough!"
"The will of Heaven cannot be defied. Perhaps the title of Nine Netherworld Savior Heavenly Venerable bestowed upon me by the sages of the Human Sect is also an inevitable trend in the dark, containing some profound meaning from the Lord of Heaven."
"I'm not afraid of itching when I have too many lice! Anyway, I've already offended the Gu Diao clan, the Bi Fang clan, and even the Demon Heavenly Court, so I don't need to worry about completely standing against the Demon Heavenly Court."
Mo Yuan shook his head, trying to comfort himself.
Gambling is about not knowing the outcome; investing is about knowing the outcome!
Moreover, he has the support of the Chan Sect Saint and the Human Sect Saint behind him, so why not take a gamble?
The slaughter of humans by the demon race is an inevitable trend, and the great calamity of the witch and demon races will reach its climax. When the era of the witch and demon races comes to an end, the human race will truly prosper.
Knowing that the human race would ultimately prevail, he decided to follow the trend and assume the responsibilities of the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable.
The worst outcome would be that he would be surrounded and hunted down by the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, and then he would cry out to the Heavenly Lord for protection and ask the two saints for help!
"Senior Mo Yuan, nowadays, all the human tribes within hundreds of thousands of miles of Gu Jue Peak worship the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable, and most of the tribes' sacrificial spirit is Fellow Daoist Di Wu. Everything is developing in a positive direction."
"I know that the human race is weak and like a rootless duckweed, but please rest assured, Senior Mo Yuan, all the sons of my human race are determined and willing to pave the way for the younger generation and die for them. The fire of the human race has the potential to spread like wildfire, and my human race will surely rise up."
"We beseech Senior Mo Yuan to accept the offerings and prayers of our human race, to lead the sacrificial spirits of all tribes, and to guide our human race through its difficulties..."
Shan Li suddenly knelt down and solemnly said.
Before Mo Yuan appeared in the Panshi tribe, everyone, including him, lived in a daze, like wild beasts. But now, the Panshi tribe and the surrounding tribes have undergone earth-shattering changes, and everything in sight is thriving.
More importantly, with Mo Yuan, the Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Netherworlds, and the sacrificial spirits of various tribes, all tribes can unite and cooperate, working together towards a common goal, without having to be wary of each other or even kill each other.
Judging from Mo Yuan's reaction just now, he is unwilling to become the Nine Netherworld Exorcist Heavenly Venerable. Therefore, he must treat this person with sincerity and ask him to become one of the backbones of the human race.
The Nine Netherworld Exorcist Heavenly Venerable is none other than Mo Yuan!
"Senior Mo Yuan, you are the Nine Netherworld Exorcist Heavenly Venerable of the human race. All human sacrificial spirits should obey your commands, protect the human race, and bring blessings to heaven and earth!"
Tei-ya also knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with tears.
It was Mo Yuan who killed the demon Xuan Zhizi, who had been entrenched on the solitary peak for thousands of years, and it was he who created the path of spirit sacrifice, allowing beings as kind-hearted as him to find their home and binding their fate with that of the human race.
Mo Yuan's decree is the direction that the spirit of the sacrifice should take.
In the blink of an eye, Cangyan and Chenggang also knelt down, and countless human beings within the territory of Gujue Peak bowed and worshipped in the direction of Gulin City, shouting the true name of the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable.
A continuous stream of incense and prayers gathered above the statue of the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable, then merged into the purple auspicious clouds behind him. Mo Yuan clearly sensed that his Dao Fruit had changed.
Several strands of human virtue, imbued with the will of humanity and radiating a warm jade color, appeared in the Chaos Sea. Their appearance added a touch of gentleness and peace to Mo Yuan's Dao Fruit, and he also felt that his connection with the human race had been greatly strengthened.
"Perhaps this is the true purpose of Heaven's guidance, allowing me to see the illusory image of the Emperor of Fengdu!"
"Holding the golden wheel of heavenly merit, wearing robes evolved from earthly virtue, and surrounded by a long river of human blessings, one can achieve the purpose of connecting with the heavenly court above, ruling the netherworld below, and governing the human world in the middle."
Mo Yuan suddenly realized what was happening. He quickly faced the sky and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, I am foolish, but I have grasped your intention!"
After saying this, Mo Yuan felt a sense of clarity.
Then, he looked at Shan Li, Di Wu and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and he slowly said, "Please rise, everyone. With the guidance of the Heavenly Dao and the help of the Sage of the Human Sect, Mo Yuan has finally understood his mission."
"From this day forward, I shall be the Nine Netherworld Exorcist Heavenly Venerable of the human race! I cannot guarantee the protection of all tribes that worship my image, but I swear to you all with my Dao heart that I will do everything in my power to help the human race in times of crisis!"
It was a resounding and powerful statement, a wake-up call to the deaf.
Mo Yuan's Daoist voice resounded throughout the entire Ancient Lin City, and then spread to the human tribes.
Within each tribe, the palaces that enshrined the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable automatically shone with a brilliant crimson-gold light, and a phantom of a black Qilin flashed by.
"Senior Mo Yuan's kindness is boundless; we are deeply grateful!"
After the four of them stood up, they excitedly exclaimed in unison.
From then on, with Mo Yuan pointing the way forward for the human race, they were able to wholeheartedly move forward, and the human race would surely prosper and become strong, until they stood tall among all races.
Seeing this, Mo Yuan said softly, "Since so many human tribes worship me as the Nine Netherworld Exorcist Heavenly Venerable, then I must take on the responsibilities I should bear. I will first help Cheng Gang Clan refine the Qilin Clan's essence blood in his body."
"Afterwards, I will organize the art of weapon crafting, alchemy, and array formation that I have been in charge of and pass it on to you as a legacy, to enhance your foundation and strengthen the power of these human tribes."
"However, there is one thing I need to make clear beforehand! You must not use your strength to bully the weak or force the human tribes outside the territory of Lonely Peak to forcibly worship and sacrifice to the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable. This matter can only be decided by them!"
The Daoist voice resonated, carrying an air of authority.
Mo Yuan was unwilling to let Shan Li, Cang Yan, and others start a bloodbath for his sake, as this would not only go against his original intentions but also sow the seeds of future trouble for him.
He wouldn't allow that to happen!
Upon hearing this, the group said in unison, "We will respectfully obey Senior Mo Yuan's decree! Whether it is offering sacrifices to the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable or the tribe's spirit offerings, we will act with benevolence and will not interfere forcefully."
"Anyone who disobeys will be attacked by the masses and cast into an abyss of eternal damnation!"
Over the course of a thousand years, dozens of human tribes within the territory of Gujue Peak have built palaces to worship Nuwa, Taiqing Saint, Jiuyou Bazui Tianzun, and tribal spirits, just like the Panshi tribe. During this time, there has never been a bloodshed.
As long as the world sees the earth-shaking changes in Gulin City and these dozens of human tribes, other human tribes will follow suit, until it becomes a powerful force that sweeps across all human cultivation kingdoms, cities, and tribes on the prehistoric land.
"That's excellent!"
"Cheng Gang, I will now assist you in refining that drop of essence blood!"
Mo Yuan looked at Cheng Gang and spoke.
The essence blood of the Qilin clan is extremely precious and difficult to refine, so the fact that Cheng Gang was able to gain the recognition of that drop of essence blood is already a great blessing.
If it can be completely refined, the Cheng Gang clan will gain great benefits.
"Thank you for your help, senior!"
Cheng Gang sat cross-legged on the ground, gently closing his eyes.
With a slight thought, Mo Yuan sent a wisp of Qilin True Fire directly to Cheng Gang's heart meridian. The scorching heat enveloped Cheng Gang, causing veins to bulge on his forehead and sweat to pour down his face.
Shan Li, Cang Yan, and Di Wu looked concerned as they watched Cheng Gang Shi with worry, hoping that he could withstand the burning of the Qilin True Fire and completely fuse that drop of essence blood with the human bloodline.
Mo Yuan remained unmoved, his eyes still calm.
He channeled his magical power and the ancestral energy of the earth, manipulating the Qilin True Fire to enter Cheng Gang's heart meridian, other organs, meridians, bone marrow, and blood, helping him refine that drop of Qilin essence blood.
At first, the drop of Qilin blood essence resisted, its roars echoing in everyone's ears. But as the Qilin True Fire swept over Cheng Gang's body, the drop of Qilin blood essence seemed to have found its home and ceased to resist.
Therefore, the fusion with this drop of Qilin blood essence went very smoothly. In just a few days, Cheng Gang underwent a complete transformation, and the aura emanating from his body was savage and terrifying.
His cultivation level also improved from the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm to the late-stage of the Profound Immortal realm, but the biggest change was in his body.
"Cheng Gang, circulate your Qi and blood!"
Mo Yuan looked at Cheng Gang, who was standing in front of him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he spoke.
That drop of Qilin blood essence was an extremely yang and strong substance, carrying a trace of innate Daoist charm. It helped Cheng Gangshi possess a body comparable to that of an innate human, and his future destiny would be far more than just becoming a Xuanxian.
"good!"
Cheng Gang nodded repeatedly.
Blood surged wildly within his body with overwhelming force, and magma seemed to flow through his skin. Crimson scales appeared on his face and arms, and two flames burned fiercely in his eyes.
That's right!
The drop of essence blood that Cheng Gang obtained came from a powerful fire unicorn; otherwise, it would not have been possible for that drop of essence blood to have survived the countless years following the Dragon-Han Calamity.
However, those two flames were not Qilin True Fire, but were refined by Mo Yuan using the essence of Cheng Gang's blood and qi. They contained a trace of the rules and order of Qilin True Fire, which could help him improve his combat power.
"Wow, that's incredible strength!"
"I have this feeling that even if a peak Xuanxian expert attacks, I am confident that I can defeat him with these Qilin Arms and achieve the power to break through all laws with one force."
Cheng Gang bowed to Mo Yuan again, then clenched his fists and said with a smile.
This upgrade is an improvement in many aspects, including foundation, origin, and combat power, and is by no means a simple improvement in cultivation or physical strength.
From now on, he will be able to better protect Gulin City and those human tribes by relying on this opportunity bestowed upon him by Mo Yuan.
Seeing Cheng Gang's agitation, Mo Yuan calmly said, "Fighting across realms is not advisable. It would be best to suppress a powerful enemy with your cultivation level, and then use magic weapons and spiritual treasures to send them to their doom. Only in this way can you avoid being severely injured and affecting the overall situation of Gu Lin City."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group nodded seriously.
Mo Yuan's words made sense. After all, if one could kill with a single blow based on their cultivation level, why bother fighting and risking one's life?
Therefore, they still need to work hard to cultivate and strive to improve their cultivation level.
"You may all leave for now!"
"I will organize my insights into the art of weapon crafting, alchemy, and array formation as soon as possible, and then give them to you to use in training human powerhouses. At the same time, I will also craft several magic treasures to help you strengthen your foundation."
After exchanging words for a while, Mo Yuan sent the group away.
After he leaves Gulin City, the humans within the territory of Gujue Peak will all need to be protected by Shan Li and others. Therefore, he needs to make preparations in advance and leave them with some trump cards as much as possible.
In his plan, in addition to several magical treasures, he also wanted to bestow upon Diwu a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure.
Simply because.
He sensed that Diwu was not far from the mid-stage of True Immortal!
