Chapter 1073

【7】

Translation: "In Wahuang Cave, beneath the bas-relief of the Wahuang Holy Image carved into the stone wall, Qingning sat cross-legged in silence."

Actually 【6】 is a comment line, not a Chinese line. The line after 【6】 is "Check:..." which is English already. But the instruction says translate each FULLY into natural English. The line "【6】 Check:..." contains English already, but we still need to output a line for 【6】? The user said "These lines still contain untranslated Chinese. Translate each FULLY into natural English." The 【6】 line is not Chinese; it's English commentary. However we must output exactly one line per item as: 【N】 . Keep the 【N】 indices, no Chinese characters in the output, nothing else. So we need to output a line for each 【N】 that appears in the user message, regardless of whether the content is already English? The user likely expects us to translate the Chinese parts only, but the 【6】 line is not Chinese; it's already English. However we still need to output something for 【6】? The user gave an example: they wrote "【6】 Check:..." and then gave a translation for 【1】? Actually they gave an example: "【6】 Check:... We'll output: "【1】 In Wahuang Cave...". That seems they are showing how they would translate 【2】 line into 【1】? Wait they messed up indices. The user gave examples of how they'd translate but they messed up the numbers. Actually they gave: 【2】 line, then 【6】 Check:... We'll output: "【1】 In Wahuang Cave...". That seems they are showing that the 【2】 line should be output as 【1】? That seems off. Possibly they are demonstrating that we should renumber? But the instruction says "Keep the 【N】 indices". So we should keep the original numbers. The examples they gave are just illustrative but wrong. We should ignore them and follow instruction: keep the 【N】 indices.

Just like a blooming great sun-wheel flower, when it opens the blossoms are gorgeous and beautiful, yet no one knows its true, terrifying nature; a careless touch and you are utterly devoured, becoming nourishment for its splendid bloom.

Qingning hooked her finger; the few jade tablets brought by the young woman flew to her side and quickly joined the dozens floating nearby. With a clear 'ding-ding' sound, spiritual light flickered, and the tablets coalesced into a jade talisman.

Other sons of the Gongsun clan entered in order, the Gongsun clan... will have the strength to overturn the raging tide, to reforge humanity's chance!

Qing Ning hissed: "Hurry, hurry, don't let Mother suffer this blow in vain…… Inside the Ancestral Spirit Space, the temporal laws differ greatly from the outside; in the blink of an eye outside, you can achieve complete success!"

"Wa Island is in peril, the Human Race is in peril, don't waste time, hurry!"

Qing Ning spat a mouthful of blood far away, covering Gong Sun Yao's head and face.

Gong Sun Yao trembled all over from fright; urged by Qing Ning, he hissed and roared, striding toward the Wa Huang statue. Holding the Wa Huang Command, his body merely flickered and he entered the Wa Huang statue, rushing into the wondrous Ancestral Spirit Space.

Qing Ning's eyes twitched slightly; if not for the heart‑rending pain in her chest, if not for the agony that almost shattered her soul, she would have burst out laughing.

By cultivating the purest Mu Dalu Pangu Legacy Three Thousand Heavenly Grand Dao, with the Three Thousand Grand Dao fully perfected, and drawing on the endless incense‑faith power within the Ancestral Spirit Space, Gong Sun Yao can perfectly condense the Three Thousand Dao Seals without expending any essence or blood, and even raise them to an exalted level.

Qing Ning laughed wildly in her heart.

With the Three Thousand Grand Dao condensing into Dao Seals, who in the world could be a match?

It's not that Qing Ning looks down on the present Human Race; it's that the present Human Race is truly too weak, unable to bear the immense pressure of the Three Thousand Grand Dao contained in the Primordial Scripture.

Qing Ning secretly siphoned the Ancestral Spirit Power from the Ancestral Spirit Space, tempered Gong Sun Yao's body from childhood, and added a single drop of the natal essence blood she had hidden from an Immortal Sage of the Human Race during the Primordial God War; only then did she forge Gong Sun Yao's body into a perfect Dao Foundation.

Ancestral Spirit Power and the sage's essence blood combined, allowing Gong Sun Yao's body to withstand the tremendous pressure of the Three Thousand Grand Dao.

And what about the geniuses cultivated by the other clans of the Human Race?

How many divine medicines, how many precious pills, how many top Human Race experts have transfused and refined their blood—yet is it of any use?

Useless!

Their bodies can at most withstand the entry into the Eight Hundred Gates Grand Dao!

Even the old matriarchs, secretly scouting for Human Race talents abroad and implementing the so‑called Hidden Dragon plan, those fervent youths also received body‑tempering from the Ancestral Spirit Space's power, yet their bodies can at most withstand the One Thousand Two Hundred Gates Grand Dao.

No one can compare to Gong Sun Yao!

Gong Sun Yao is the supreme expert of the newest generation of the Human Race, and behind him he also has the support of the top‑ten Human Race clan, the Have Bear Tribe!

The Have Bear Tribe, moreover, is the ancestral clan of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan in the primordial myths!

The direct line of the Human Emperor, the strongest of the Human Race, will later also receive the blessing of boundless merit.

Qing Ning narrowed her eyes, intoxicated, utterly intoxicated. If not for the pain in her chest, if not for Gong Sun Jun holding her, she would have burst into song from excitement.

Ah… her own son, becoming the Human Emperor!

In other words, she, Qing Ning, the exalted princess of the Wisdom Divine Clan, would become the Human Race's empress dowager, and this mighty Human Race would be placed under the sole control of her son.

Given Gong Sun Yao's disposition, eh, isn't this Human Race simply being grasped by Qing Ning's hand?

A perfect plot, a perfect harvest.

Qing Ning's body twitched slightly; she was so excited she was on the verge of losing control.

Gong Sun Jun was startled by Qing Ning's display, and he bellowed in a hoarse voice: "The finest life‑saving pill, quickly, bring the Nine‑Revolutions Withering‑Flourishing Divine Pill… quick, quick…"

Qing Ning clenched her teeth and said in a low voice: "Don't waste the precious pills; save them for Yao'er… my wound only looks serious, it's not fatal."

The Wa Huang Cave trembled slightly; his towering figure stood three zhang six chi tall, his whole body entwined with three thousand purple‑colored dragon‑shaped energy strands. Behind him a wheel of exceedingly complex Dao‑pattern star chart appeared, with three thousand large Dao Seals inlaid in the chart, and Gong Sun Yao, slowly rotating like a nebula, strode out of the Wa Huang statue.

The Three Thousand Heavenly Grand Dao condensed into Dao Seals, each seal reaching at least the seventh heaven of the Venerable rank!

In Gong Sun Yao's gaze lay a formidable heavenly‑earthly aura; he merely glanced at the dozen or so core clan experts behind Gong Sun Jun, and those half‑step Venerable masters all went limp, collapsing with a soft 'pa' as they knelt on the ground.

Gong Sun Yao's aura was like that of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor revealing his true form in the mortal realm.

Great, immense, ancient, awe‑inspiring.

His body radiated boundless light; in every finest thread of that light sat a heaven‑and‑earth deity, endlessly roaring in unison the heavenly‑earthly thought:

"Submit!"

"Submit!"

"Submit!"

Merely a glance at Gong Sun Yao, and these several dozen, who were also considered pivotal elite warrior chiefs within the Gongsun clan, instantly became his most devoted—'followers'!

Qing Ning gave a light cough: "Jun‑brother, hurry, go in, then arrange for our clansmen to enter swiftly, until we exhaust all the incense‑faith power accumulated over the years in the Ancestral Spirit Space…… quick, quick!"

"Yao'er's future, the Gongsun clan's future, the Have Bear Tribe's future—all hinge on this single move. As the head of this branch of the Gongsun clan, you… you must not hesitate at all!"

Qing Ning shouted sternly: "All the old matriarchs of Wa Island have already perished; before dying, they entrusted the entire Human Race's future to me…… you, you must not disappoint the old matriarchs!"

Gong Sun Jun let out a hoarse roar, seized the jade talisman handed over by Gong Sun Yao, and strode into the Ancestral Spirit Space.

In the snap of a finger, Gong Sun Jun strode out.

Above his head, one thousand two hundred Dao Seals churned.

Several dozen Gongsun clan warrior chiefs, holding the Wa Huang Command, entered the Ancestral Spirit Space in single file. Their efficiency was extreme—each snap of a finger saw another person enter.

They likewise broke through the Venerable rank with ease.

The Dao Seals they condensed numbered between three hundred and six hundred.

Although they cannot compare to a monstrous genius like Gong Sun Yao, placed among the Human Race, and among monsters and ghosts that condense at most a dozen Dao Seals, they are an invincible existence.

The teleportation array lit up; following Gong Sun Jun's dispatch, many more loyalists of the Gongsun father‑son duo rushed into the Wa Huang Cave!

Qing Ning took Gong Sun Yao's hand and laughed softly: "Yao'er, from now on you are the Human Emperor of the entire Human Race…… heh, have you taken a liking to any young lady? Mother will bring the Human Emperor's edict at that time to bestow upon you a empress or consort!"
