Chapter 202: A New Situation

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

With the governance of the Three Royals and Five Emperors, the Human Tribe became extremely prosperous. Qi, the son of Yu the Great, restored force by staging a coup and became Sovereign of Human Tribe. He also established the Xia Dynasty and used the hereditary system in the feudal dynasty to replace the Abdication System for the Three Royals and Five Emperors. This began a new chapter for the Human Tribe.

Musen actualized the Realm of Origin and made a big splash in the Human Tribe. The whole tribe was ecstatic about the revival of Martial Arts. This was actually the third time that the practice of Martial Arts had sprung up in the Human Tribe.

The first rise of Martial Arts had occurred when Musen created it; it had laid a foundation for the strength of the tribe. The second rise was during the tribe’s Cultivation Tribulation. At that time, Musen had defeated the Demon Tribe with Martial Arts. And now, Musen had actualized the Realm of Origin. Martial Arts were rising within the tribe once again.

This made the tribe realize that Martial Arts was more suitable for them than The Way of Celestial Immortality. Though the tribe was still alive today, both their constitution and aptitude were not as good as before. Although humans had learned three religions and the Western Religious Sect had preached in the tribe, few of the tribe members could truly step in The Way of Celestial Immortality.

But Martial Arts was different from the Way of Celestial Immortality. The Way of Celestial Immortality focused on aptitude and innate quality while Martial Arts paid more attention to perseverance. The humans without aptitude could achieve cultivation even if they had a little power of understanding. Even if they could not enter the places of Primordial Martial Arts like the place of immortals, the effect of a strong body in Martial Arts was popular.

Since the Sorcerer and Demon tribes’ fighting had finished and Martial Arts practice had been getting worse and worse, the Sages had spread The Way of Celestial Immortality in the tribe. But now Musen had actualized the Realm of Origin and The Way of Martial Arts spread to nine provinces. This made the Human Tribe realize the power of Martial Arts again and feel the practice of Martial Arts in the Origin and the Way of Martial Arts. It was more effective than Sage’s preaching.

All Sages were upset because of this. They had been preaching to the Human Tribe ever since the Sorcerer and Demon tribes’ had ceased fighting. They had even made their religious sect prosperous with the help of the Three Royals and Five Emperors. But now, Martial Arts was becoming popular in the Human Tribe once again and even had the trend of keeping pace with the Way of Celestial Immortality.

The reason the Sages preached in the Human Tribe was for the Luck. Now that Martial Arts were popular again, it would take up more of the Luck. This naturally concerned all Sages. The Luck of the Human Tribe was just like a big cake. If Martial Arts took more Luck, the Sages would get less.

The Luck of the Human Tribe was 30 percent taken up by Musen for Martial Arts. Suiren-shi, Youchao-shi, and Ziyi-shi took 10 percent in total. Cangjie took up 10 percent for character creation; the Three Royals and Five Emperors and Goddess Nvywa each took 10 percent. Laozi, as well as the Tribe of Humanity, took five percent, and the Origin and Clan of Enlightenment were the same. Tongtian and the Tribe of Severity took 10 percent, neglecting the Two Sages of the West and Western Religious Sect. The last 10 percent belonged to the Human Tribe.

Musen owned 30 percent of the Luck of Human Tribe. The Sages were jealous, but they could do nothing. Although Musen was Minghe’s Self-centric Separation, he was a human and he held the identity of Martial Ancestor of the Human Tribe. Therefore, he’d had advantages over them since his birth. What made them feel even more helpless was that most of Luck was still in the humans’ hands, no matter what they preached.

At first, Qi established the Xia Dynasty in favor of the Tribe of Severity. As a result, the Tribe of Severity was prevalent in the Human Tribe. However, Qi began to advocate the Martial Ancestor of the Human Tribe heavily. He built temples everywhere. He addressed Musen respectfully as Martial Saint once Musen had actualized the Realm of Origin. Qi’s actions were supported by Martial Artists in the Human Tribe so the Xia Dynasty became much stronger.

The Tribe of Severity was in an embarrassing place. Qi had become the emperor with their help, but he heavily propagated the "Ancestor of Martial Arts," Musen. Although it was an unalterable principle, he gave Musen more support than the Tribe of Severity. This caused many followers to leave, leaving only a few with a low level of practice to maintain preaching in the Human Tribe.

Thus, the Human Tribe could develop peacefully with Qi reigning. The other tribes were also getting stronger. But after his death, his son, Taikang, succeeded to his reign. Taikang was only interested in entertainment and didn’t care about politics. Xia’s authority was weakened during his reign and many competitors decided to pursue regime in the Human Tribe.

The Sages could see opportunity in this. The Clan of Enlightenment and Western Religious Sect had chosen to preach in each powerful tribe and they had a stalemate with the Xia Dynasty. It was only peaceful in Laozi’s Tribe of Humanity as his intention was still unknown.

The Western Religious Sect chose Eastern Yi of the Human Tribe. The Eastern Yi clan was one of the

strongest tribes in the Human Tribe. They held great power and were much closer to the west than other tribes. With the help of the Western Religious Sect, they started a rebellion and causing a constant disturbance for the Xia Dynasty.

With the Eastern Yi clan’s constant attack, Taikang gradually lost some of his power. However, popular support tended to the Xia Dynasty at that time so that they could not exterminate the Xia. Later, the Xia crushed the rebellion of the Eastern Yi clan. This happened after Shaokang had reigned because of three emperors’ efforts.

No matter what happened in the Human Tribe, the Holy Land of Human Tribe remained serene. It observed the changes in the Human Tribe, but as long as they were not on the edge of being exterminated, it would not disturb its development.

Cultivation was prevalent in the Holy Land of Human Tribe. Once he actualized The Origin of Martial Arts, Musen began to advocate Martial Arts in the Holy Land. Both Fuxi and Cangjie were guests at the Zixiao Palace and had a unique understanding of cultivation. Therefore, they could teach the Way of Celestial Immortality in the Holy Land naturally. No matter what happened, the Human tribe in the Holy Land was making constant progress.

Of course, it was not just the Holy Land of Human Tribe saving strength, so was Heavenly Court. Haotian would hold a Feast of Peaches every once in a while and invite the Human Tribe as well as immortals in the Untainted Land. Many humans added to the fortune in Heavenly Court so that its power was steadily improving.

Heavenly Court was becoming busy with more and more immortals. In Jasper Lake, Yaoji, Haotian’s sister, was happy to see the gifts given by immortals who attended the Feast of Peaches and played with them all day.

She was curious about the human world. She often borrowed Haotian’s Mirror to observe the world and she was attracted by the beautiful views. She was not satisfied to just appreciate the scenery from afar; she wanted to see it for herself. Haotian refused and she had to forget about it. Nevertheless, her curiosity regarding the human world grew day by day. Eventually, she secretly descended to Earth.

Untainted Land was peaceful with the Three Royals and Five Emperors. But something unpredictable happened in the Blood Sea causing Minghe to leave his Closed Door Meditation. The person he saw was a great surprise.
