Chapter 107: Xuanyuan in Action
Two humans, Xuanyuan and Chiyou, both possessing the destiny of the Taihuang Emperor, were born at the same time. After much deliberation, Yuanshi chose Xuanyuan, who had the pure bloodline. After receiving Xuanchu's message, Tongtian also sent his disciple Jinpeng to the Jiuli tribe to recruit Chiyou into his sect.
Since his birth, Xuanyuan has been cherished by the entire Youxiong tribe. Xuanyuan did not disappoint his tribesmen. He showed extraordinary intelligence from a young age. Before he was eight years old, he was able to hunt and kill a tiger, which shocked the entire Youxiong tribe.
When Xuanyuan was ten years old, Guangchengzi came to the Youxiong tribe again. According to the previous agreement, Guangchengzi officially took Xuanyuan under his tutelage. Under Guangchengzi's guidance, Xuanyuan broke through to the level of a Celestial Immortal before he was eighteen years old.
Before coming to the human race, Yuanshi had told Guangchengzi that the mission of the Taihuang was to unify the loose human race. Therefore, when he formally took Xuanyuan under his wing, Guangchengzi began to intentionally or unintentionally guide Xuanyuan onto the path of vying for supremacy.
Although the human race has experienced the Great Calamity and the reigns of Fuxi and Shennong, the human race as a whole is ultimately just a tribal alliance. Each tribe governs itself independently and does not interfere with each other, which leads to a series of conflicts.
At first, Xuanyuan did not understand Guangchengzi's intentions. Until one day, the neighbors of the Youxiong tribe came to rob the Youxiong tribe's resources. The fifteen-year-old Xuanyuan led his people to fight back bravely and finally repelled the enemy. In the days that followed, Xuanyuan gradually discovered that the human race was actually quite disunited.
Because of this, Xuanyuan first conceived the idea of unifying the human race. In Xuanyuan's view, if he wanted to unite the human race, he had to bring all the human tribes under his command and make them obey his orders. Only in this way could the fighting be eliminated.
Xuanyuan told Guangchengzi about his idea. Guangchengzi was overjoyed when he heard it. Xuanyuan had finally seen the light. Then he passed on the six volumes of the Chan Sect's classic texts and military treatises to Xuanyuan.
After obtaining the six military treatises, Xuanyuan organized the able-bodied men of the Youxiong tribe and established the first army of the human race.
For a long time afterward, Xuanyuan relied on the army he had built to repel the invasions of other human tribes on many occasions, and was highly praised by Shaodian, the leader of the Youxiong tribe.
When Xuanyuan turned twenty, Shaodian formally passed on his position as clan leader to Xuanyuan.
After becoming the chieftain of the Youxiong tribe, Xuanyuan, with the support of Guangchengzi and the disciples of the Chan Sect, began his grand undertaking to unify the human race.
At this time, the battles between the various tribes of the human race were basically fought on impulse, without any rules or strategy. Therefore, when they encountered Xuanyuan's army, they suffered repeated defeats. In view of Xuanyuan's strength, the northern tribes submitted to the Youxiong clan and jointly honored Xuanyuan as the Yellow Emperor.
The territory of the human race is mainly divided into four directions: east, south, west, and north, centered around the human holy temple.
The most important tribe in the East was the Human Witch Tribe. In the past, this place was the front line against the demon race, and the Human Witches were the main force of the human race. Therefore, the East was given to the Human Witch Tribe.
The human tribes in the south were mainly led by the Lieshan tribe, where Shennong lived.
The western human tribes were led by the Fenggun tribe, to which Fuxi belonged.
Meanwhile, within the Jiuli tribe, under Jinpeng's tutelage, Chiyou was making rapid progress. Like Xuanyuan, Chiyou displayed extraordinary talent from a young age. Moreover, upon learning that his son was likely to become the next human emperor, Chiyou's father began to cultivate him diligently from childhood. After all, when Chiyou was eighteen, he passed on the position of chieftain of the Jiuli tribe to him.
After becoming the clan leader, Chi You, with the help of Jin Peng, integrated the entire Eastern human-shaman tribe. Since Chi You was a human-shaman, the Jie Sect's cultivation method was not suitable for him. Therefore, Jin Peng personally went to the Netherworld to ask the Shaman tribe for a low-version version of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique. However, even with a low-version version, Chi You could not cultivate it because he was not of pure Shaman blood. Therefore, Tong Tian personally brought Jin Peng to the Pangu Palace and asked Xuan Chu to modify the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique into the Eight-Nine Profound Technique.
After practicing the "Eight-Nine Mystic Arts", Chi You's cultivation progressed rapidly, and he broke through to the Xuanxian realm before he was even twenty years old.
With the rise of the Jiuli tribe, the human race formed a situation where four major tribes stood side by side: the Jiuli in the east, the Youxiong in the north, the Fenggun in the west, and the Lieshan in the south. With the rise of the Jiuli and Youxiong tribes, it was only then that the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world realized that there was not just one human with the destiny of the Taihuang Emperor.
At the Human Race Holy Temple, Guang Chengzi, accompanied by Xuan Du, came to visit Fuxi.
"Fellow Daoists, do you wish for me to send a message to the Fenggun tribe, asking them to submit to Xuanyuan?" Fuxi asked.
"That's right!" Guang Chengzi said, "Emperor Fuxi, as you know, the mission of Emperor Tai is to unify the human race. Now Xuanyuan has integrated the major tribes in the north, but that is far from enough. The various human tribes in the west all follow the lead of the Fenggun tribe. If the Fenggun tribe is willing to submit to Xuanyuan, then Xuanyuan can integrate the human tribes in the north and west."
Upon hearing this, Fuxi hesitated. Since becoming the Human Emperor, Fuxi had stopped caring about the affairs of the Fenggun tribe. His successor also had no ambition and lived a peaceful life in the west. If he joined Xuanyuan's camp, it would mean that the people of the Fenggun tribe would have to go to the battlefield with Xuanyuan.
"Emperor Fuxi, Xuanyuan is the chosen successor of our Xuanmen. If Xuanyuan fails to become the Emperor, our Xuanmen will suffer a great loss. Therefore, I hope you can support Xuanyuan," Xuandu also advised.
Since the rise of the Jiuli tribe, Hongjun knew that he had been tricked by Xuanchu. The reason why Xuanchu was so generous in giving him the position of Taihuang's teacher was not because Xuanchu looked down on the position, but because Xuanchu planned to scheme against him, support Chiyou, and compete with Xuanmen. However, Hongjun could not show any temper, because Xuanyuan's mission was to unify the human race, and Chiyou was his greatest rival. However, Chiyou also possessed the destiny of Taihuang. Even if Hongjun was dissatisfied, he could only grit his teeth and accept it. But Hongjun did not sit idly by. Instead, he personally ordered all the Heavenly Dao Saints to help Xuanyuan prove his Dao no matter what. That is why Xuandu came to the Human Race Holy Temple to visit Fuxi.
Although Fuxi severed his master-disciple relationship with Xuandu after attaining enlightenment, there was still a karmic connection between them. Fuxi couldn't very well turn Xuandu away, and since it was also Hongjun's idea, Fuxi hoped that by actively helping Xuanyuan, he could gain Hongjun's favor and persuade him to release Nuwa. Therefore, Fuxi eventually agreed.
Soon, at Fuxi's behest, the western tribes, led by the Fenggun tribe, submitted to Xuanyuan. In this way, Xuanyuan conquered the entire western tribes without losing a single soldier.
After conquering the western tribes, Xuanyuan's confidence soared. He planned to start by attacking the Lieshan tribe. Once he conquered the Lieshan tribe, he would have conquered the entire southern tribes. Then, he would defeat Chiyou with overwhelming force and unify the human race.
However, the Lieshan tribe was not an easy target. Shennong had long received instructions from Kong Xuan that the Lieshan tribe must not let Xuanyuan succeed so easily. The one in charge of overseeing the Lieshan tribe was Shennong's son, Yuwang.
After realizing Xuanyuan's ambition, Yuwang was unwilling to sit idly by and wait for his death. He took the initiative to integrate the southern tribes, and in the name of Shennong, he declared himself the Yan Emperor, standing against Xuanyuan.
The fierce resistance of the Lieshan tribe did not alarm Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan first sent people to appease the western tribes, led by the Fenggun tribe, to prevent them from having any ill intentions. Then he assembled his army and advanced southward.
Upon hearing of Xuanyuan's large-scale southward invasion, Yuwang was enraged and gathered the strongest men from the southern tribes, determined to fight Xuanyuan to the death.
The two sides met at Banquan, and a great battle was about to break out. However, as soon as the war started, Xuanyuan gained an absolute advantage. The troops that Yuwang had gathered were all hastily assembled from various tribes, unlike the well-trained army under Xuanyuan's command.
The two sides fought a fierce battle at Banquan for ten days and ten nights. In the end, Yuwang was defeated and retreated to the Lieshan tribe under the protection of his people. After the defeat, Yuwang did not surrender but took the initiative to send people to the Jiuli tribe to ask his uncle Chiyou for help.
