Chapter 496

– Arrival of The Calamity
The line drawn by the Zhong Li god carved a valley over a million miles lone, separating the Zhong Li Celestial Race and the other races.
But it wasn’t long before greed took over the minds of the races again. The West Barren Shan Shen Celestial Race was the first and last to act. They made a stone bridge that crossed the deep valley, and as soon as the Shan Shen experts arrived on the other side, a wave of godly aura burst out into the sky. A huge hand fell from the sky and all of the Shan Shen experts were killed on the spot.
The incident trembled the world and ever since then, there weren’t any celestial races who dared to invade the Zhong Li Celestial Race’s territory anymore.
A few days later, the exhausted experts of Swords Gate carried the mountains to the side of the valley. They looked at one another and placed the mountains down on the ground.
Jun Sixie, the headmaster of Swords Gate also joined in the crowd a few days ago. She looked at the valley and said,
This Zhong Li god drew a line far further than what I initially thought we can claim. How generous… Even I didn’t expect we can such a huge piece of land.


Headmaster, we don’t have that many people to fill up the place,
Shui Zian shook his head and said,
We need to take in more humans from the other barrens and nurture more Qi Practitioners in the future generations. Hundreds of years are required for us to fully take control of such a huge piece of land.

Zhong Yue nodded in agreement and he said,
I can bring the humans in the East Barren back to us. The East Barren is expanding to the south and Shi Buyi is entangled in a war with the dragon race, he won’t much time to take care of anything else. Meanwhile, the other lords of the monster race are also fighting with the dragon race. This is a fleeting opportunity for us to bring the East Barren humans back into Great Wilderness.

Fang Jiange nodded as well, he said,
The West Barren celestial races are also having infighting everywhere now. This is also a good chance to bring the West Barren humans back to us. However, the West Barren is huge and vast, I can’t manage it all alone.

Although Fang Jiange’s Yuan Shen secret realm was more than capable of holding over 10,000 humans, the supply of oxygen inside of the secret realms wasn’t able to sustain the humans for long.
Thus, he could only bring a few thousand humans at the most for every trip he took to the West Barren. And if he wanted to increase the speed, he would have to use his arcane energy to travel at his peak speed from the West Barren back to the Great Wilderness.
However, the trip wouldn’t be a stroll in the park, there would be many dangers along the way, so and wasting too much arcane energy just wasn’t a wise choice to make.
Abruptly, Zhong Yue smiled and said,
Elder Shui, Senior Martial Brother Fang, Junior Martial Sister Shui, take care of the West Barren and bring as many humans back as you can. I will take care of the East Barren as well as the humans across the sea.


Across the sea?
the experts of Swords Gate were bewildered. Although there were quite a large number of humans in the demon land, who could safely bring the humans across the vast sea?

If we all leave, what if the other races come to invade the lands we just claimed?
Qiu Jin’er asked.

Then let them.
Jun Sixie smiled and answered,
What we have now is more than what we need. If they come to take, then we can negotiate for a temporary truce. And when we grow strong enough in the future, we will get rid of them. As long as we have more people, we will be able to grow strong enough!

The crowd laughed in unison and dispersed, they said,
Indeed.

Left behind were only Jun Sixie and Zhong Yue. The headmaster looked at the young man and asked,
I can understand the East Barren, but what can you do in the demon land overseas?

Zhong Yue smiled and strode back to Swords Gate, he said,
Senior martial sister, I have my own ways. But don’t expect too much, there are way too many humans in the demon race, I can’t bring too many Qi Practitioners back to us.

Jun Sixie helplessly shook her head and walked behind him back to Swords Gate. She needed to be in Swords Gate Mountain to take charge of the situation. The days now weren’t peaceful as usual, the myriad races were fighting for land, and she would need to be here to fend off any race that would come invading Swords Gate.
A few days later, the two of them returned to Swords Gate. Zhong Yue immediately went for the Seal Suppression Hall. He cast out the mortal body of his two incarnations, and with a thought, the Tai Chi Inner Core split into two smaller Nine Revolving Inner Cores, one fell into Long Yue’s mouth and the other flew to Bo Xun.
Then, the blood essence, arcane energy and psyche burst out like a raging ocean, billowing into the two mortal bodies.
Long Yue and Bo Xun slowly opened up their eyes and they both stood up, flashing into the clouds like two light rays.
On the golden summit, Jun Sixie was curious. She looked at the two light rays, especially Bo Xun, who attracted her attention the most.
I know Long Yue is Junior Martial Brother Zhong’s incarnation, but who is this demon expert? Could it also be Junior Martial Brother Zhong’s incarnation?, she was shocked and thought to herself, This cultivation technique of Junior Martial Brother Zhong’s, it looks similar to Feng Wuji’s, both were able to cultivate two incarnations. Also, Junior Martial Brother Zhong’s prowess is slowly reaching a point I can no longer see through … I need to cultivate harder as well, he mustn’t surpass me!
On the other hand, Zhong Yue pondered for a second in the Seal Suppression Hall before leaving for the East Barren. Long Yue alone wasn’t enough to shift all of the humans in the East Barren, he would to go personally as well. Whereas for the oversea demon land, it would be hard for Bo Xun to do it alone. Furthermore, it would be a lengthy trip to sail through the sea, by the time they reached there, it would be at the least half a year later.
As of now, most of the factions in the East Barren were waging war with the dragon race, fighting for the southern lands. This resulted in the monster land becoming devoid of strength, leaving them in a similar situation to Swords Gate.
Soon after he left, Zhong Yue reached the Gu Xia City, he changed his appearance into that of Long Yue. Meanwhile, his Long Yue incarnation was flying around the East Barren, moving the human villages with the clouds and blowing the clouds toward Gu Xia City.
All the while, in Gu Xia City, Zhong Yue was surging out his arcane energy and transporting the clouds carrying human villages into the Great Wilderness.
Meanwhile, above in the clouds, the humans in the villages were terrified. They crawled on the ground and only dared to stand up after a long time when the village landed on the ground.
Zhong Yue and Long Yue repeated this process for over a month’s time. They transported all of the human villages and tribes over 20,000 miles around Gu Xia City into the Great Wilderness.
In just a short period of time, the Great Wilderness had become crowded with humans. Jun Sixie immediately ordered the Qi Practitioners of Swords Gate to reclam the new lands and provide sufficient food for the new arrivals.
Oh no, we humans hunt for food, that’s how we survive. But there aren’t many living things around in the South Barren lands, how are the humans going to live? Jun Sixie thought of it and she suddenly remembered something. She quickly worshipped the godly spirit of Swords Gate, and as soon as the first headmaster’s godly spirit heard the question, he said,
When I left the Zi Wei Divine Court for the Ancestral Star, the Human Sovereign gave me the seeds to humanity’s future. He said, if the humans know the ways to plant crops and harvest their our own food, we will then be able to walk out of the mountains.

Five types of grain seeds abruptly emerged in the palace. These five grain seeds were refined by the Human Sovereign, and thus, they were able to remain fresh even after tens of thousands of years.

These five grain seeds can be harvested after three months, the grains can be used as seeds again, and the cycle can continues on for as long as there is a seed. This will provide the humans with a steady supply of food,
the godly spirit of Swords Gate said.
Jun Sixie nodded and frowned a second later, she mumbled,
Three months? How are we going to survive these three months then?

Suddenly, there were dead beasts flying in along with the human villages. Jun Sixie was overjoyed as she thought, Junior Martial Brother Zhong is really thoughtful! With these beast meats, we will be able to survive for the next three months until the crops grow!
Zhong Yue and Long Yue were still sending more humans in. Meanwhile, for the West Barren, the Swords Gate experts were tasked to manage a thousand mile piece of land each. They searched for the human slaves and directly snatched them into their Yuan Shen secret realms, transporting them back to the Great Wilderness.
The West Barren celestial race noticed Swords Gate actions and were greatly angered. However, they were all fighting for land now and didn’t have enough manpower to handle the human experts.
Oftentimes, there were only a few celestial experts sent to stop the humans, but with Shui Zian, Fang Jiange, Qiu Jin’er and the other human experts, the celestial experts were all either killed or pushed back.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Sea, Bo Xun went straight up to Ao Fenglou, telling the latter of his true identity and saying directly,
Brother Fenglou, can you lend me a few Whale King Ships?

Rays flashed across Ao Fenglou’s eyes, he said while smiling,
Junior Martial Brother Zhong, I can, but you know, the dragon race is in war with the monster race, while at the same time, we are also clashing with the Kun Peng Celestial Race. Let’s not forget about the rightful owner of the South Barren, the Zhong Li Celestial Race as well. I’m waging war with three factions, and it’s really hard to spare forces for you. But if you can come over and help, I can lend you 30 Whale King Ships!

Bo Xun smiled back and said,
I can’t come with my true form, but my demon incarnation has a strong faction in the demon race, I’ve established a sacred land of my own there, the Desire Realm. We have many experts that I can send them to aid in your wars!

Ao Fenglou was overjoyed and nodded,
Deal!

Bo Xun brought 30 Whale King Ships to the demon race and transported the humans back. Each Whale King Ship could transport over 10,000 people, 30 ships meant a total of 300,000 humans. Although it was still a relatively small number compared to the total number of human slaves in the demon land, it was not a small number anymore.


The world is in chaos now…
In Gu Xia City, Zhong Yue looked into the sky and mumbled softly.
The Lesser Void World crumbled, and the stolen dimension returned in the Ancestral Star. The sudden increase in landmass gave rise to wars everywhere across the Ancestral Star. The dragon race was now in conflict with three factions; the Zhong Li Celestial Race was trying to settle their disputes with other races as well as stabilizing their own internal conflicts.
Meanwhile, the monster race was warring with the dragon race and also hadits guard up against the Bai Zhe Clan in fear of a surprise attack. The West Barren celestial races had also been fighting amongst each other since forever in addition to the Swords Gate experts snatching the human slaves back into the Great Wilderness.
There was also the Kun Peng Celestial Race that had conquered a piece of land and landlocked sea, which was fighting with its long-standing nemesis — the dragon race.
The world was like a violently stirred pot, peace and tranquility wouldn’t be able to be regained without at least a few tens or even hundreds of years.
Shit, Shi Buyi is starting to notice! Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat. Long Yue just met with another messenger sent over by Shi Buyi to check on the West Barren. For the past few days, he already met with six of the messengers, and Long Yue killed them all, which was why the news could still be concealed until now.
But with so many messengers sent out without a single one returning, Shi Buyi would definitely notice the strangeness behind it! Especially when the messengers were sent out at a higher frequency now!
Shi Buyi’s prowess was incredibly strong, and there was also the monster god alive in the monster race. If Shi Buyi realized the sudden decrease in the number of human slaves and investigated it, Long Yue wouldn’t be able to hide from him anymore!

Now, the only question was — how long can the dragon race still keep Shi Buyi preoccupied for?

……
Meanwhile, in the North Barren Bai Zhe Clan’s Frozen Ancient Capital.
The Bai Zhe god whose legs were burnt away by Zhong Yue was kneeling on the ground. His legs had been replaced with two lamb legs, and after over a year’s time of adjusting to them, the Bai Zhe god was able to move nearly as swiftly as before.
Suddenly, the Bai Zhe god’s face faltered slightly, he quickly turned his head and looked at the ice palace. It was now clear to the Bai Zhe Clan that the ice palace wasn’t what they thought it was — it was actually a sealing palace!
The palace that sealed the tunnel between the insect race’s insect planet and the Ancestral Star!

Air of the gods!
the Bai Zhe god’s heart thumped heavily and he shouted,
Not good!

Krong
The ice palace’s doors shattered into pieces and an insect mother god shining with golden rays appeared behind the doors!

Jejeje, finally the tunnel is through, we are now in the Ancestral Star! My dear children, claim your new toys and eat as you desire!

HUUUUU
Countless insects swarmed out like a billowing ocean from the ice palace!
