The Stargazing Lineage was once the advisory under the Overlord’s command eight hundred years ago. After the Overlord’s defeat and the Red Emperor’s ascension, this lineage retreated from the world, re-erging only in tis of great chaos to assist heroes.
The Witch Gu lineage, however, faced calamity during the court turmoil caused by Witch Gu when they cursed the emperor. Later, a Red Emperor’s greed for the Elixir of Immortality led to misfortune.
The death of a brilliant heir of the empire precipitated the decline of the Golden Age created by General Xue and Duke Chen five hundred years ago, leading to the era of chaos three hundred years ago.
Thus, the Witch Gu lineage scattered.
The witch’s part dispersed, transforming into heterodox sorcery.
The Gu infiltrated the Southwest, beyond the reach of Central Plains forces, taking root. Three hundred years ago, a Great Grandmaster from the Yin Yang Family arrived here, wagering against the Witch Gu Inheritor, achieving three consecutive victories.
They agreed that Witch Gu should not erge in the world, nor should the Witch Gu arts cause havoc again.
The ntal state of the Witch Gu Saintess suffered. Deliberately, she served a cup of wine, containing a poisonous insect, intending to harm the Grandmaster’s life.
The Yin Yang Family Grandmaster, fully aware, grasped the Witch Gu Saintess’s wrist, letting her feed him the cup of insect-laced wine. Even as he drank, he smiled serenely, gazing into the eyes of the Witch Gu Inheritor.
Later generations said that on that day, the Great Grandmaster of the Yin Yang Family drank the poisonous insect.
Yet he also planted a different kind of emotional Gu in the heart of the Witch Gu Inheritor.
In the end, this match could only be considered a draw.
That generation’s Witch Gu Saintess indeed never ventured into the troubled world, not entering its vortex. Later, she enjoyed a full life, and at the end, hearing the haunting lody of a flute in the wilderness, she paused for a long mont, then smiled and closed her eyes in peace.
When descendants searched for traces, they found none. They only glimpsed a figure in a blue robe, white hair hanging to his waist, a bamboo flute at his side, vanishing into the unknown. It was an era of heroes rising to prominence across the land, the era when Chen and Ying Countries tore Chen apart, and Tu Yu’s hegemony erged.
However, after the Ying country’s founder passed, and before Emperor Chen Wu’s death, he planted trees at his tomb. Tu Yu, aged, like a mighty lion, subdued the remaining forces of the Buddhist Sect, with Zhenbei City standing tall in the world.
Three years ago, the Mo School’s giant leaderwas succeeded by another, a rare female giant in history who passed away.
She left behind advanced farming tools, crossbows, thirty-seven water dams in the Southwest, and the creation of the Heavenly Country’s title.
When the Mo School’s female giant passed.
The Great Grandmaster of the Yin Yang Family turned white-haired overnight.
He left the Academy.
He bestowed the title of Yin Yang Family’s leader.
Upon a nearly blind little beggar he had known for thirty days by the roadside.
And now, the Witch Gu lineage, hidden for hundreds of years, has reappeared, driving the creatures and poisonous snakes of the Southwestern forests to attack cities. These warriors do not fear engaging in battle with swords, yet these snakes truly make one’s scalp tingle.
Li Guanyi successfully imprinted his Primordial Spirit onto the Jiuli Divine Weapon’s gold and iron, looking aside as the auspicious Iron-eating Beast raised its head, unable to nuzzle Jiuli, remaining quiet for a long ti, saying, "What’s this?"
"I didn’t want you to pat my head either."
It lowered its head, looked at Li Guanyi, and said:
"They want to fight, I’ll help you."
"The eighty-one tribes here were once brothers of the Jiuli Clan, he definitely doesn’t want to see them fight, so I’ll help you."
Li Guanyi replied, "Alright."
His palm left the massive Jiuli Divine Weapon’s gold and iron, and suddenly the city’s residents heard a long roar, the sound shaking the clouds, looking up, the sinister aura of the Jiuli Divine Weapon’s gold and iron had not yet dissipated. Li Guanyi soared into the sky, his aura like a rainbow.
The enormous auspicious beast charged out, the Sun God Bird spewing a blaze.
The golden flas entangled the beast’s four claws, its original fur lengthened, eyes glowing with golden light, and it suddenly pounced away, the warrior and auspicious beast flew out as if through yellowed years, from the mirage in the sky.
Heavy landing on the battlefield before the city gate, golden flas blazed upward.
The auspicious beast raised its head and roared.
Li Guanyi raised his hand, the Jiuli Divine Weapon’s gold and iron let out a resounding cry, transforming into a stream of light, soaring skyward, crossing the gaze of the entire city’s populace, crossing the gaze of those rebellious soldiers, and landing here.
This Divine Weapon simultaneously enveloped Li Guanyi and the auspicious beast.
Thousands of years ago.
The presence of the Warlord!
Manifest!
