Chương 52: The Poisonous Dragon of the Wujiang River

While various factions were discussing the matter of Guang Chengzi and Duobao Daoren, the disciples of the three religions had already entered the heartland of the human race.

After the decline of the Wu tribe, a situation of "no leader among the dragons, great fortune for the world" emerged on the primordial land.

It wasn't until Emperor Fuxi awakened to his past life and regained his cultivation that the human race became a minor overlord.

A quasi-saint peak powerhouse can walk sideways below a saint. In the entire world, only the Four Spirits and Four Races of Creation and the Asura race possess quasi-saint peak powerhouses.

However, these races either looked down on the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth, or were kicked out of the candidate list of the protagonist of heaven and earth by the ancestor Hongjun because of their ugly appearance. In the end, the human race took over the prehistoric land with great difficulty.

Of course, given the inherent limitations of the human race, even today, the human race can only be distributed in the center of the prehistoric continent (i. e., the central world, later known as the Nine Provinces), and cannot even completely control the central world.

Humanity's emperor has changed, but remnants of the Lich and Demon races still linger in the central world. These remnants are single-mindedly devoted to "rebelling against humans and restoring demons" and "reviving the Great Witch."

Therefore, the alien beings in the Central World often receive opportunities left behind by the demon race. After receiving these opportunities, these beings, who were originally wild spirits without any lineage, become the new generation of demons.

On the other hand, the Wu tribe chose the Jiuli tribe. They passed on many of the Wu tribe's physical supernatural abilities to the Jiuli tribe, attempting to use this half-human, half-wu race to steal the achievements of the human race.

When the lich slaughtered the human race, the Jiuli tribe sheltered many of them.

Among the high-ranking members of the human race, there were many who were grateful for the kindness shown to the Jiuli. Although they knew that the Jiuli clan might be secretly practicing witchcraft or even colluding with the remnants of the witch clan, they could not bear to kill the Jiuli clan and simply turned a blind eye.

This became the biggest hidden danger in the Central World, and the crux of why the human race had been unable to truly control the Central Wilderness for so long. When Fang Yang and his group stepped into the heart of the human race, they were greeted by a scene of peace and danger intertwined.

Peace and harmony refer to the scene of smoke rising from chimneys, children playing, and orderly farming, showcasing the vitality of nature.

The danger lies in the fact that demonic energy often rises from the mountains and forests near the settlement, and tribes are frequently slaughtered by these monsters, causing great fear among the adults in the tribes.

"Senior brother, should we take action to slay the demons and eliminate evil?"

Qianyao Zhenjun seemed to have thought of something and asked.

Fang Yang gently shook his head: "No, let's clear out those demons with high cultivation levels. As for the remaining demons, we'll keep them trapped in the mountains and forests, waiting for someone with the right destiny to deal with them."

The person he was referring to as a destined soul was a descendant of the human race.

True strength lies in the overall power of the human race. When the human race is so powerful that even a small village has an immortal presiding over it, then the human race has truly entered the realm of a protagonist of heaven and earth.

In the past, the main characters of heaven and earth were more numerous than cockroaches.

At its peak, the Demon Court attracted countless demons, with celestial immortals as numerous as hairs on a cow and more than a dozen quasi-saints. Only then could it roam freely throughout the primordial world and suppress all races.

At its peak, the Witch Clan was filled with Great Witches and Ancestral Witches, whose physical bodies swept across the Three Realms, nearly destroying the Demon Clan several times.

Grand Master Xuandu instantly understood Fang Yang's deeper meaning, stroked his beard, and smiled:

"Junior brother, you have a good plan. Slaying all the demons may solve the immediate crisis, but it also cuts off their opportunity to hone their Dao heart and improve their cultivation. Leaving some low-level demons trapped in the mountains and forests not only gives them a chance to survive, but also gives the younger generation of the human race an opportunity to gain experience."

Cihang Daoist nodded: "Brother Xuandu's words are very wise. Our Xuanmen's transmission of the Dao is not only about imparting the principles and supernatural powers, but also about guiding all races to become self-reliant and strong. Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. Only by letting the human race slay demons and protect their own homes can they truly gather their fortune and strengthen themselves."

With magical artifacts whistling and divine light piercing through, in less than half an incense stick's time, those demon generals and demon kings who had entrenched themselves in the mountains and forests and were prone to massacring villages were all killed, their souls and spirits annihilated.

The remaining lesser demons and spirits were trapped in a large formation set up by the disciples of the Jie Sect, and were never allowed to step out of the mountains and forests for the rest of their lives, and could only eke out a living within it.

It's important to understand that, at the same level, disciples of sages are virtually invincible. The Daoist techniques passed down by sages are absolutely incomparable to those comprehended by unorthodox cultivators.

Of course, this excludes the descendants and successors of powerful beings who exist at the same generation as Hongjun Laozu, as well as the disciples and followers of powerful beings who have already entered Zixiao Palace.

These little monsters are easy for even a fairy like the Seven Fairies to handle, so dealing with them would be a piece of cake for a disciple of a saint.

The group continued their preaching and soon arrived at the banks of a long river.

"This is the Wujiang River. Legend has it that a demonic dragon lives in the Wujiang River."

Kan Yao Zhenjun pointed to the long river churning with dark waves, his face solemn.

"This dragon has been entrenched in the Wujiang River for a hundred years, devouring people and livestock, stirring up storms and waves. The human race has sent immortal armies to conquer it several times, but it swallowed them all whole, leaving not even bones behind. Several surrounding tribes have been ravaged by it, leaving nine out of ten houses empty."

Fang Yang stood on the riverbank, his gaze piercing through the muddy waters of the Hunjiang River, and immediately spotted the monster lying coiled at the bottom of the river.

This dragon is not of the bloodline of an ancient true dragon, but is merely a black water serpent python that has become a spirit after receiving the legacy of the demon race. Its cultivation has just reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. Relying on the advantageous location of the Wujiang River, it bullies mortals, but it cannot be considered a top-tier demon.

Upon seeing this, True Lord Qianyao immediately volunteered for battle: "Senior Brother, this wicked creature dares to wreak havoc on the human race. Let me go and slay it as a warning to others!"

Fang Yang raised his hand again to stop them, a hint of consideration flashing in his eyes: "There's no need to kill them all. Although this dragon is evil, it is also a water spirit, and its cultivation is not weak. It's good to keep it as a touchstone for the future generations of the human race."

Fang Yang raised his hand to stop him again, a hint of consideration flashing in his eyes: "There's no need to kill them all. Although this dragon is vicious, it is also a water spirit, and its cultivation is not weak. It's just right to keep it as a touchstone for the top juniors of the human race."

After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it. A blue rune fell into the Wujiang River and instantly turned into a chain, trapping the demonic dragon at the bottom of the river and sealing most of its cultivation, leaving it with only a little power to protect itself.

"From now on, this dragon will no longer be able to come ashore and harm people, but will only guard the bottom of the Wujiang River. If any of the younger generation of humans has the ability, they can enter the river to slay the dragon, seize its dragon scales and dragon core, forge magical treasures, and cultivate supernatural powers. If they are no match for it, it will be a test of life and death."

Grand Master Xuandu clapped his hands and laughed, "Junior Brother's move is a double achievement. It not only eliminates the threat of the demonic dragon, but also leaves a tremendous opportunity for the human race's prodigy. It's truly ingenious."

The disciples of the three religions continued their journey, and along the way, they wiped out any high-level demons or remnants of various races they encountered; as for low-level spirits and evil spirits, they sealed their cultivation and kept them for human training.

Of course, they did not only preach to humans.

There are too many small races in the primordial world, and sometimes you will only encounter one or two of them.
