Chapter 156: Song of the Buried God Sword
Having obtained the Natal Spirit Sword, your strength surges again.
While deducing the Lianqi cultivation system, you also contemplate the sword technique divine power unique to yourself.
During this time, the mischievous Sword Spirit inside the Ling Sword always merges with your soul whenever you practice swordsmanship.
You originally wanted to refuse.
But you are surprised to find that after each merging, your comprehension of the Sword Path skyrockets.
Your Sword Dao Realm ascends, and you feel delighted.
Your affection for the Sword Spirit has increased.
The number of times you merge with the Sword Spirit gradually rises.
The Sword Spirit, therefore, feels pleased.
The Sword Spirit's affection for you has risen dramatically.
Human Race Calendar, year 2,900.
Having already completed the Divine Transformation Stage, you finally attain insight and begin a secluded breakthrough of the fifth realm of the Lianqi cultivation system.
Before this, you had attempted to break realms many times, repeatedly failing.
Your Perfect Body is rebounded by the Great Dao, constantly worn down, making it increasingly difficult to restore to its prime.
After countless attempts, you discover that to break the shackles of the Divine Transformation Stage, the crucial step is to temper the Physical Body and Primordial Spirit with the power of the Five Elements.
The power of the Five Elements belongs to the foundation of Heaven and Earth.
To break into the next realm, this is a process you must undergo!
Human Race Calendar, year 3,000.
Through round after round of tempering, your Physical Body and Primordial Spirit have both been forged with the Five Elements' power, subtly evolving into another state.
But the final step still remains.
Just as you are puzzled, a sudden sensation arises; your Primordial Spirit seems to be firmly locked by something.
You look up toward the Heavenly Dome.
There, masses of dark clouds gather, the sky darkens abruptly, and a strong sense of oppression rolls in.
"Tribulation Thunder?"
You are rather startled.
In your understanding, Tribulation Thunder only appears when the Heavenly Dao resonates, such as during a powerful spirit beast's Shapeshifting, a top‑tier breakthrough among Heaven and Earth, or the emergence of one bound by karma.
You are still far from top‑tier strength, and you have never borne karma, yet you quickly attract the Heavenly Tribulation.
This precisely confirms the uniqueness of the Human Race!
Boom—Boom—Boom! Tribulation Thunder descends!
You raise your sword toward the heavens.
Tribulation Thunder passes through the Ling Sword, its terrifying force entering your body.
You spit fresh blood, your breath weakening.
At the same time, your Physical Body and Primordial Spirit also evolve toward a brand‑new direction; the Heavenly Tribulation is the final step that facilitates all this.
Surviving the Heavenly Tribulation brings rebirth!
Failing to cross it means death.
Heavenly Tribulations keep falling, striking you forty‑nine times, leaving you on the brink of death; only after the Tribulation Clouds disperse do Heaven and Earth return to calm.
Your Primordial Spirit metamorphoses, and your attunement to the primal qi of Heaven and Earth becomes easier.
Behind your Primordial Spirit appears a phantom silhouette, like a colossal figure, and with every move you can draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth.
You name this realm — Lianxu.
If you can enter this realm soon, Sui will not be so desperate when facing the Phoenix's assault.
You feel both joy and awe.
What delights you is that you have crossed another hurdle on the dark, unknown path.
What amazes you is that this realm, worthy of Human pride, is merely a starting stage for some races of the Nine Ancient God Clans.
The Phoenix that once attacked the Sui Tribe was only in its juvenile stage; the flames it casually spat could match your full‑power strike today.
This is the terror of the Nine Ancient God Clans!
Among the Nine Ancient God Clans, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin belong to the three major ancient gods' peoples created according to their own forms.
This also makes the three peoples' Physical Bodies and bloodlines inherently strong and their abilities balanced.
The only lacking aspect is reproductive capability.
Even though these three peoples are few in number, they remain the overlords of Heaven and Earth; aside from the other six Ancient God Clans, none can contend with them.
Modern Humans lack that ability altogether.
You gather a group of cultivators who have completed the Divine Transformation Stage to jointly refine the cultivation methods of the Lianxu Stage.
The most arrivals still come from the three great tribes—Chi, Hong, and Xi.
After that massive upheaval, the Sui Tribe has declined, with only one Divine Transformation Stage master arriving.
The newcomer is named 'Yi'.
He was one of the children rescued by Sui long ago.
Now, after a millennium, Yi has displayed extraordinary talent; with a complete cultivation method, he achieved Divine Transformation Stage in just eight hundred years.
Out of hatred toward the Phoenix clan, Yi has loved shooting birds since childhood, mastering a peerless archery skill.
Yi's Natal Magic Treasure is also a bow and arrow, named the Sun‑Chasing Bow and Moon‑Falling Arrow.
"Chuan Clan Leader, when shall we go kill a few Phoenixes? Use their blood to soothe the Sui Clan Leader's Primordial Spirit!"
Yi harbors hatred like enmity toward evil, and he never holds back when dealing with outsiders.
You shook your head, "No rush, now is not the time to openly wage war against the Phoenix Clan."
Yi said angrily, "The Nine Ancient God Clans have oppressed our Human Race for a long time; many of our kin have died at their hands, even treating our Human Race as blood food."
"If we don't kill them all, it's truly hard to settle the hatred in my heart!"
You have no doubt that when Yi becomes a top‑tier strongman, the Nine Ancient God Clans will be slain by him until rivers run with blood.
"Killing, of course, must happen, but what we need now is to gather intelligence on the Nine Ancient God Clans."
"If we can't even figure out their abilities, how can we go to war with them?"
Based on your understanding, the Dragon Race, Phoenix, and Qilin are indeed powerful, but comparatively they are the easiest to deal with among the Nine Ancient God Clans.
Because these three major races have no special abilities.
In contrast, the other six Ancient God Clans are each more difficult to contend with than the last.
After perfecting the cultivation method of the Lianxu Stage, you brought the wine you brewed yourself to the ruins of the Sui Tribe.
Sui's body is still like dry‑cracked charcoal, its jet‑black skin covered with red fissures.
After a millennium of struggle, the Phoenix Divine Fire has been almost completely absorbed by him, and Sui's vitality grows ever stronger.
You poured a jar of wine onto the soil before Sui's body.
After a thousand years, the number of people coming to worship Sui has not decreased but increased, and Sui has indeed become one of the symbols of the Human Race.
The Human Race may have some weaklings, but when facing external foes, the vast majority of its people are willing to throw their heads and spill hot blood.
At sunrise, you heard the brilliant Human Race war song.
At sunset, you saw the prayers of the devout.
In the night, you felt the wails of the suffering.
Repeating this, staying beside Sui, sitting and watching the comings and goings, you seem to see the endless spiritual inheritance of the Human Race.
The flesh is finite, the will unextinguished!
One day, the Human Race will rise under the will of passing the torch, using Mortal bodies to bury the old Ancient Gods.
The sword in your hand hummed; at this moment, you suddenly understood.
You finally comprehended the sword that can bring peace to the Human Race.
One sword strikes, ten thousand swords follow.
This sword! Can bury the Deity!
Ten thousand swords sound together like a song, the sword technique has a name: Burial God Sword Song!
At the same time, you feel a mysterious force across the endless Shikong locking onto you tightly.
