Facing a great defeat, Xuanyuan was not discouraged!
Instead, he analyzed the shortcomings of his own side, because when the Chiyou army was pursuing them, Chiyou also cast a large-scale spell that enveloped the surroundings in thick fog, making it impossible for the soldiers to know where to go. If it weren't for Kong Xuan casting a large-scale wind spell, they would not have been able to escape!
Therefore, Xuanyuan, inspired by the Big Dipper constellation in the sky, invented the compass. At the same time, to boost morale, Xuanyuan also asked Kong Xuan to kill Kui, as only war drums made from Kui's hide could boost morale!
Facing his disciple's request, Kong Xuan could only lead the disciples of Jie Sect to kill Kui!
However, Kui was a ferocious beast, and its cultivation had reached the level of Da Luo Golden Immortal. Although Kong Xuan was only one step away from Da Luo Golden Immortal, he was still short of that one step and was no match for Kui!
With no other choice, Kong Xuan had to seek help from Tongtian Jiaozhu!
Upon hearing this, Tongtian calculated with his fingers. Good heavens, this Kui Niu also had a connection with him, destined to be his mount!
Thus, Tongtian left Jin'ao Island and arrived at Liubo Mountain in the East Sea. At this moment, Kong Xuan and many disciples were waiting. Upon seeing Tongtian Jiaozhu, they all bowed and shouted, "Greetings, Master! We wish Master eternal life!"
Tongtian nodded and looked at the Kui Niu. It resembled an ox, with a dark body and no horns, standing on one leg. When it entered or exited the water, it would bring wind and rain. Its radiance was like the sun and moon, and its voice was like thunder. He then chuckled and said, "Evil creature, come out!"
The Kui Niu looked at the approaching figures and realized it was a saint. It dared not be careless. Tongtian reached out and grabbed it, pulling the Kui Niu out. The Kui Niu was terrified and hurriedly begged for mercy!
"We seem to have a connection. Are you willing to become my mount?" Tongtian said directly!
The Kui Niu quickly nodded. It was a divine beast of heaven and earth, but it wasn't foolish. It exclaimed, "Greetings, Saint Lord!"
Tongtian nodded and glanced at Liubo Mountain. There were still many Kui Niu here, but this one had the highest cultivation.
"Alright, you can handle the rest!" Tongtian said, mounting the Kui Niu and heading towards Jin'ao Island!
Kong Xuan and the others then flew to Liubo Mountain, captured a Kui Niu at the Golden Immortal level, and returned to Youxiong Tribe to report their success!
Upon obtaining the Kui Niu, Emperor Xuanyuan immediately ordered its hide to be removed and made into war drums!
Now that they had war drums, they still needed drumsticks. They asked Kong Xuan and the others to go to Leize to kill the Lei Beast and use its bones to make drumsticks!
Kong Xuan and the others naturally had no objections. Why else were they here in the human tribe? Wasn't it to assist the Human Emperor in his path to enlightenment?
Fortunately, this time the Lei Beast was not of high cultivation, otherwise, Kong Xuan and the others might have had to ask Tongtian Jiaozhu for help again!
"Evil creature, surrender!" Kong Xuan shouted loudly!
The Lei Beast roared, and lightning raged around its body. Kong Xuan sneered, extended his hand, and the Purple Lightning Hammer appeared in his hand. This was a congenital spiritual treasure bestowed upon him by Tongtian Jiaozhu!
As the Purple Lightning Hammer descended, the Lei Beast let out a mournful cry. Although it was protected by lightning, it offered no resistance against the Purple Lightning Hammer and was directly smashed to death!
After Kong Xuan landed, he ordered the Lei Beast to be collected and then returned to Youxiong Tribe!
Xuanyuan Huangdi was overjoyed. Now that they had both the war drums and drumsticks, their chances of victory had greatly increased!
Because a few nights prior, Xuanyuan had a dream. In his dream, an immortal who called herself Jiutian Xuannü bestowed upon him a book and a sword!
The book contained many military strategies, as well as various formations and talismans!
Xuanyuan had already used that book to set up the "Tianyi Dun Jia" formation, which was quite powerful!
With these trump cards, Xuanyuan began to challenge Chiyou!
Chiyou naturally would not miss this opportunity and personally led his troops to the battlefield!
As the two armies clashed, Chiyou's men were brave and formidable, their morale soaring. Xuanyuan did not rush, but ordered the war drums to be beaten. Instantly, the sound of the war drums struck terror into the hearts of Chiyou's army, causing them to lose their souls!
Chiyou was greatly alarmed and quickly rallied his subordinates to charge at Xuanyuan!
At this moment, Yinglong soared into the sky and unleashed a torrent of water from its mouth!
The water immediately scattered Chiyou's army in disarray. Chiyou hurriedly called upon the Feng Bo (Wind Master) and Yu Shi (Rain Master) to counter Yinglong!
As expected, Yinglong was no match for Feng Bo and Yu Shi. The Yu Shi alone was enough to deal with Yinglong, let alone the addition of Feng Bo!
Xuanyuan realized that this would not work and that they had to find a way to counter Feng Bo and Yu Shi, otherwise, their victory would be very difficult!
Looking at the saints' disciples, they were also being suppressed by the Wu clan!
Xuanyuan had no choice but to order a retreat by beating the gong to signal!
This battle could not be called a loss, but it could not be called a win either!
Chiyou continued to cast his large-scale spell, with mist rising to prevent Xuanyuan's soldiers from escaping. Fortunately, with the compass, Xuanyuan was able to retreat with ease!
"Master, how can we defeat Feng Bo and Yu Shi?" Xuanyuan asked upon returning to Youxiong Tribe!
Kong Xuan also looked troubled, truthfully, he did not know either!
Therefore, Kong Xuan sent a message to ask Tongtian Jiaozhu!
Tongtian calculated with his fingers and said, "To the west of Kunlun, there is Nu Ba, a naturally born goddess who is responsible for gathering clouds and rain. She can counter Feng Bo and Yu Shi!"
Upon hearing Tongtian Jiaozhu's message, Kong Xuan immediately said, "Nu Ba can counter Feng Bo and Yu Shi! I will go and invite her now!"
Afterward, Kong Xuan, with the disciples of Jie Sect, went to the west of Kunlun again and found Nu Ba. After much persuasion, they managed to convince Nu Ba to join them!
With Nu Ba's addition, coupled with the diagnostic methods recently developed by Xuanyuan and the renowned physician Qi Bo, which were compiled into the later famous "Huangdi Neijing"!
His wife, Lei Zu, was also very capable. She taught the people to raise silkworms and summarized the experience of feeding silkworms, reeling silk, and weaving silk fabrics. From then on, people could make clothes, wear ceremonial robes, and make shoes. They were dressed from head to toe, completely changing the primitive custom of wearing leaves and animal skins in ancient times. Ancient people were limited by water sources, living by rivers and nomads following water and grass, which was very inconvenient. Emperor Xuanyuan invented wells, which allowed people to develop land further away from rivers. At that time, people did not know how to build houses and lived in caves or wild places, building nests from wood. It was Emperor Xuanyuan who taught people to "cut wood to make materials, build palaces, with beams on top and eaves below, to avoid wind and rain." Emperor Xuanyuan gathered a large number of talented people, who could all leverage their strengths. For example, the paleographer Cang Jie invented hieroglyphic writing, the musician Ling Lun divided the twelve musical scales and composed music; the mathematician Lishou established various units of measurement, and so on.
With these accomplishments, Xuanyuan Huangdi's cultivation, under the blessing of merit, had already reached the Quasi-Saint level. Indeed, he had reached the Quasi-Saint level, which made the disciples of Jie Sect envious to the point of tears!
Similarly, Chiyou had also completely refined his essence and blood and reached the realm of Ancestral Witch true form, becoming a Quasi-Saint!
Thus, the third battle began, and this time the two armies engaged in a formal war!
As Xuanyuan's war drums sounded, morale surged!
Chiyou's army, however, was somewhat dispirited. Seeing this, Chiyou immediately ordered Feng Bo and Yu Shi to cast their spells!
At this moment, Nu Ba appeared and quickly countered Feng Bo and Yu Shi. Then, Yinglong suddenly spewed out a large amount of water, which completely disoriented Chiyou's army. With a fierce attack from Xuanyuan, Chiyou's army was utterly defeated!
Chiyou refused to accept defeat and directly confronted Xuanyuan. The power of a Quasi-Saint was revealed, and his Ancestral Witch true form appeared. However, Xuanyuan was not flustered. He held the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, along with the congenital spiritual treasures given by the saints' disciples. He soon suppressed Chiyou, and Chiyou's Ancestral Witch true form could not withstand the power of the Xuanyuan Sword! Soon, Chiyou was defeated and dismembered by Xuanyuan!
Then, Ji Xuanyuan, leveraging the momentum of his victory, led his troops across the Fuchun River and advanced all the way to the stronghold of the Jiuli tribe, Zhuolu. The decisive battle took place in the suburbs of Zhuolu, and in the end, Chiyou's army was completely annihilated, completing the unification of the human race!
At this time, the Heavenly Dao appeared and specially bestowed the Human Emperor Dao Fruit upon him. Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi had also completely attained enlightenment. Then, a golden light rained down from the sky, which was the merit golden light. All the disciples of Jie Sect bathed in the merit golden light, with Kong Xuan receiving the most, followed by Duobao and others who had also contributed significantly and gained considerable merit!
This was without the obstruction of other saints. If Ming He had not been punished and forbidden from leaving the Asura Path, it would have been much more difficult for Tongtian's disciples to obtain this merit!
