Chapter 181: Shocking Beidou

They didn't know any of this, and they were destined to never receive an explanation; they only knew that this current era was not the Ancient Times!

In the Ancient Times, the Human Race was merely the lowest-ranked race among the Ten Thousand Races, having even experienced who knows how many calamities of racial extermination; among the Ancient Times Clan, almost no living beings looked up to the Human Race, only regarding them as slaves of the Ten Thousand Races.

When they were about to enter the world and learned that the current Overlord of Beidou was the Human Race, the vast majority of the Ancient Times Clan still only treated the Human Race as a slave that had grown up; even some Ancient Races flying the banner of peaceful development merely wanted to wait until they had developed for a while, then completely suppress the Human Race beneath them.

Ancient Races truly willing to develop peacefully with the Human Race were few and far between!

While these Ancient Races were merely coercing the Human Race into ceding territory and dragon veins, the Wushi Great Emperor ordered the extermination of a Tai Gu Ancestral King, with a young Human Race Quasi-Emperor assisting at his side; this struck fear into the hearts of all Ancient Races!

If only Zhang Lin had appeared alone, they might merely have been wary for a time! If Zhang Lin hadn't died and invoked the Wushi Great Emperor's name, they would actively push for peace while secretly continuing to probe the Human Race's strength, after all they would not allow such a weak race from the Ancient Times to suppress their Ten Thousand Races!

But now it wasn't just a matter of Zhang Lin and Wushi; it was a genuine, flesh-and-blood Human Race Quasi-Emperor, right under their noses, making his words law and causing two Tai Gu Ancestral Kings to self-detonate, waving his hand and turning the entire Shenling Valley into an Abyss, with Dao Patterns encircling the Abyss of Shenling Valley, deterring all Ancient Times Clans, so that they didn't even dare to probe!

It could be said that at this moment, Jiang Xuan covered the sky with one hand, making all Ancient Times Clans put away their arrogant thoughts and begin actively contacting the Human Race powers at the place of entry into the world, vying for a piece of land where they could develop in peace; their words were far more polite than before, and the previous clamors about making the Human Race hand over dragon veins, earth veins, and the like — not a single word dared to be mentioned now.

Unlike the Ancient Times Clan's extreme timidity, the Human Race felt their brows unknit and their spirits rise; Jiang Xuan's name spread throughout the Five Domains in the very first instant, and along with it the proud figure standing in the heavens and his domineering words were widely circulated.

Wu Qingfeng sat upon a Steamed Bun, and Sect Master Li kicked the door open and entered, his face bearing irrepressible excitement: "Elder Wu! Major event! A major event has occurred!"

Wu Qingfeng looked at the wooden door that had become two halves, his white beard couldn't help but tremble, and he sprang to his feet: "Who has come to attack our Lingxu Grotto Heaven! I'll go seek help from the Holy Land at once!"

"Good news!" Sect Master Li explained, looking at the somewhat overreacting Elder Wu.

"Oh!" Wu Qingfeng stopped his body, pointing at the wrecked wooden door: "If it's good news, why did you kick down my room door!"

"That's not important!" Sect Master Li took out a portrait from his bosom as if it were a treasure, and recounted with passionate fervor the story of Jiang Xuan furiously beheading two Tai Gu Ancestral Kings above Shenling Valley and smashing Shenling Valley to pieces with a single punch, just as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes, his face even turning flushed red from the telling!

Wu Qingfeng listened seriously to the end, his face not overly excited, merely his gaze passing over Sect Master Li to look into the distance: "As long as nothing's wrong! To reach such strength at such a young age, losing contact these past few years, who knows how many hardships he encountered?"

Atop a Clumsy Peak, an old man opened his eyes and looked toward the Void, his gaze seeming to see through everything and point directly at the essence; after a long while, his eyes became bright and spirited: "At such an age, with such talent, even Ye Fan cannot compare! The Human Race shall flourish!"

Outside the Fire Domain, a cultivator's face flushed red and he clenched his fists: "This is the outstanding talent of our Human Race! Such strength, such magnanimity! I am willing to revere him for a lifetime!"

At the same time, everyone who had past entanglements with Jiang Xuan was without exception living in fear for themselves!

The Ji Family, Ji Haoyue looked with a puzzled face at Ji Ziyue who was burying her head in decorating a soil pit: "Sister! You're not cultivating, what are you doing digging a soil pit here?"

Ji Ziyue raised her head, a face full of distress: "I'm digging my future resting place in advance; when the time comes I can ask Jiang Xuan to let me in and cover me up a bit!"

"Is that necessary? Aren't you on good terms with Ye Fan?" Ji Haoyue looked hopeful; right now the Ji Family, while not exactly afraid, was very wary of Jiang Xuan dredging up old grievances to cause trouble, so Ji Haoyue had come to Ji Ziyue to see the situation, to see if he could contact Jiang Xuan and resolve the previous conflict.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue's face grew even more bitter: "It's precisely because my relationship with Ye Fan is pretty good that I have the qualifications to beg him to bury me! I'm telling you, Brother, don't just stand there idle, hurry up and find a good place to fix up for yourself!"

Seeing his sister like this, Ji Haoyue instantly knew she was hopeless; it would be up to the Ji Family Supremes to think of another way!

Thinking back, he had even wanted to fight Jiang Xuan, very unconvinced of Jiang Xuan's strength! Looking now, he didn't even have the qualifications to compare with Jiang Xuan anymore, or rather Jiang Xuan had completely transcended the title of the younger generation's best, and drawn an equals sign with those truly standing at the very peak.

This made him completely dispel the thought of comparing with Jiang Xuan; better to lower his expectations!

From now on he'd just focus on comparing with Ye Fan!

I can't compare to Jiang Xuan, but surely I can compare to you?

Watching Ji Haoyue's departing back, Ji Ziyue patted the soil off her body, buried the freshly dug soil pit, and let out a cold humph: "Good thing I saw the news and guessed what Brother wanted to do! But Ye Fan's friend is really amazing! Just watch you all who think Ye Fan has no background!"

……

No matter how the world churned, Jiang Xuan had already brought Yang Yi and the two women Zixia back to Yaochi Holy Land, and Jiang Xuan once again entered Closed-door Cultivation.

This time the two women Zixia were instead quite supportive of Jiang Xuan's Closed-door Cultivation; they also began quiet cultivation, because they discovered their own strength was too low, and following by Jiang Xuan's side aside from sightseeing they couldn't help in the slightest; they didn't want to be mere vases!

Jiang Xuan first had the Eight Trigrams Furnace refine Wang Teng's Heavenly Emperor Sword; its sword could disrupt Space, and shared similar attributes with the Space Residual Sword he had obtained through Myriad Worlds Absorption; after refining it could be reforged, and combined with the Uniqueness of the "Door" to forge the Zhu Xian Four Swords' Third Sword, the Zhu Xian Sword!

Refining the Heavenly Emperor Sword required no small amount of time; sensing the System's fluctuation, Jiang Xuan looked toward the Myriad Worlds Fame System obtained through Myriad Worlds Absorption.

Host's current World Fame: 800 million

Loyal Fans count: 4,900

Even this number was still rising rapidly; in just one day of refining, the Loyal Fans count had already reached over eight thousand, breaking ten thousand was just around the corner!

Jiang Xuan was already very satisfied with this data!

Don't think that 800 million fame with only ten thousand fanatic fans means the ratio is very small; you must know that for Loyal Fans, the most important part is the word "Loyal"!

Just like celebrities on Earth, there may be many people who know and like them, but merely by watching the other's works, they can copy the other's words into a notebook, and are willing to actively climb up in the middle of the night...

Cough, can't say there are none, can only say such people are still few among the few!

It is the same in the Zhetian World, but those who can truly become Loyal Fans are not those mindless star-chasers, but rather due to Jiang Xuan's contributions to humanity, due to Jiang Xuan's peerless strength!

These hot-blooded cultivators, just like Gu Tian Shu who voluntarily guarded the Wushi Great Emperor's tomb, they all possess a sincere heart devoted to the Human Race!

Why have Great Emperors throughout the ages been revered by the Human Race for ten thousand years? Because these Great Emperors generation after generation carried the Dark Turmoil, protecting the entire Human Race behind them!

And those harboring sincere hearts, they saw in Jiang Xuan the rise of a new Human Race Great Emperor; they were astonished, excited, hot-blooded, loyal!

Jiang Xuan cherished every Zhetian person who became a Loyal Fan!

The previous seventy-odd Loyal Fans brought in Fan Value each day that couldn't even exchange for the cheapest Space Residual Sword; now lying down he gets over ten thousand Fan Value daily, this Myriad Worlds Fame System can finally be put to use!

Just need four or five days to exchange for cheap materials from the Silent Extinction Universe, still very useful to him.

Closing the System, raging flames in the Eight Trigrams Furnace were smelting the Heavenly Emperor Sword; Jiang Xuan cast his gaze into the Micro World, beginning the most important task of this Closed-door Cultivation besides forging the Zhu Xian Sword!

Revive Zhang Lin!

The Micro World was now lush with greenery; aside from those erupting volcanoes and the frigid Ice Plains not covered in green, everything else was covered in green plants, the environmental air transforming toward a direction suitable for the appearance of native Cells.

Believe it won't be long before the Micro World can produce native life, and the Micro World's expansion speed will accelerate.

On a patch of Green Land, the World Consciousness was encircling another cluster of dead-silent consciousness; in his consciousness, his world shouldn't yet have this kind of soul-like thing, and just like the grassland, it was another brother who always steals Life Force that brought it here.

Greeting that curious World Consciousness, Jiang Xuan's gaze fell upon that cluster of dead-silent consciousness.

In Soul Perception, this cluster of consciousness was like a piece of Amber wrapped in Stone, except what wrapped the consciousness was Karmic Power that had already completely lost effectiveness.

"I say! This Karmic Power will ultimately dissipate in a world that doesn't belong to it! Only the inner Soul can be preserved!"

The Dreamer's Authority surged, Error was alienated and corrected, Jiang Xuan's Soul Power plummeted in a straight line, and that layer of Karmic Shell wrapping Zhang Lin's Soul was also gradually being worn away.

Karma, ultimately is above other Rules; even with the Dreamer carrying certain Karma Rules plus Error able to change Rules, the consumption to erase this layer of Karmic Shell was still no ordinary amount!

However Jiang Xuan had the Micro World at his back; absorbing a thread of Life Force, in just a dozen minutes he dealt with the external Karmic Power!

Sensing Jiang Xuan had stolen another thread of Life Force, the World Consciousness once again appeared before Jiang Xuan, its consciousness fluctuations reminding Jiang Xuan of the remaining allocatable quantity, and hoping he could make some contribution to this world, bring some energy!

Jiang Xuan expressed understanding, and right then released more than half of the energy-rich resources from the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror's space, piling out over a dozen threads of World Life Force.

The World Consciousness left satisfied!

Regaining his senses, Jiang Xuan looked at the core washed clean of Karma.

This was not Zhang Lin's Soul, but a Consciousness composed of Zhang Lin's Memories!

The difference between them was great!

The Soul is the foundation of Consciousness, while Consciousness is merely a collection of thoughts; a Consciousness without a Soul is like rootless duckweed, and it is impossible to revive a person's Soul through Consciousness alone.

But Zhang Lin's collection of Consciousnesses was somewhat different.

His Soul had been sealed by the power of Karma and extinguished over a long period of time, and it was precisely because of the cage formed by Karmic Power that his Memories were completely preserved within his contaminated body when his Soul was extinguished.

Therefore, this cluster of Consciousness was not incomplete; it contained his complete Memories, including all his Behavior after he went Mad.

After resolving the outer shell of the Karmic Power, Jiang Xuan began his next move!

Because of the Puppet Master's ability, Jiang Xuan could split off a portion of his Soul to control multiple bodies, and at the same time, each body could freely exert itself and even cultivate.

This put little pressure on Jiang Xuan's main body; it only meant one fewer quota for the Puppet Master's split Soul, but generally he had no need to control other people's bodies.

With the Soul ready, Jiang Xuan placed Zhang Lin's Consciousness within that Soul, then mobilized a Thread of World Life Force to actively integrate into this Soul Fragment.

This time, when using the Life Force, the World Consciousness did not come over to investigate; it seemed that the massive amount of energy Jiang Xuan released a few seconds ago had satisfied the World Consciousness, allowing Jiang Xuan to use some more, but if he used too much more, it might come out again.

Although Jiang Xuan and the World Consciousness were of the same status, and the World Consciousness had no Qualification to manage how much Jiang Xuan used, it still supervised Jiang Xuan diligently and condensed new World Life Force day and night.

Life Force mainly had two abilities: first, it could nourish the Soul Fragment to make it complete, while also strengthening this wisp of Soul Power; second, it could dissipate the Dead Qi of that cluster of Consciousnesses, allowing the two to truly fuse.

The only drawback was that this wisp of Mental Power was ultimately split from Jiang Xuan as a Puppet Master; if Jiang Xuan wished, he could control this Soul at any time, and even if Zhang Lin reached Great Emperor, he would have no ability to resist!

However, Jiang Xuan would not rule over Zhang Lin's Life Experience; he saved Zhang Lin essentially because he did not want such a Heavenly Master who devoted himself to the Human Race to die for no reason.

Once the Soul and Memories had completely fused under the catalysis of Life Force, Jiang Xuan took out a Medicine King from his hand.

To Transmigrate Cultivation into the Plant Demon Race, it was actually not advisable to use Spirit Medicine of very high grade; choosing Medicine with low Spiritual Power Attribute was easier, but the development speed of the Plant Demon Race was too slow; if he really found an ordinary-level Plant for Zhang Lin to Transmigrate Cultivate into, not to mention whether he could endure the boredom, even if he could endure it, by the time he Re-cultivated to a certain strength, Jiang Xuan might have already Fought To the Highland and battled the Ancestral Fiends!

Therefore, after considering everything, Jiang Xuan chose the Medicine King level, which had no will of its own and a higher starting point; with his Assistance, he could ensure Zhang Lin successfully fused with the Medicine King!

Now Zhang Lin's Consciousness, although possessing vitality, had not yet Resurrected; Jiang Xuan controlled the gradually complete Soul to integrate into the Medicine King.

The Spiritual Power within the Medicine King surged against his Soul, as if rejecting the invasion of the Soul Fragment.

Fortunately, the energy of Life Force continued to repair this Soul Fragment; under Jiang Xuan's control, the Soul toured the entire Medicine King, and after dispersing to every corner of the Medicine King, it was condensed together by him again.

After this round, the Medicine King's Resistance finally disappeared!
