The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 64 Clues to the Chain Reaction of the Human Pact

"Brother Jiang is absolutely right." The Ji family patriarch sat upright in the Heavenly Palace, seemingly merging with the void, his voice resounding throughout the assembly.

This clearly demonstrates the strength of the victors, as each faction's location was a small palace, with many powerful figures accompanying them.

For example, Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue accompanied the head of the Ji family, along with a young woman and several other figures. The same was true for the head of the Jiang family; besides Jiang Yifei, whom he had met several times, the Jiang family's divine body was also present.

"The ancient race has been sealed away from the world, but every time they awaken, they bring great chaos to our human race. If we do not unite as one, I am afraid there will be a great calamity." The Ji family patriarch calmly stated this fact, his long robes fluttering.

Many factions remained silent, but soon someone spoke up.

This is the current patriarch of the Northern Plains Golden Family. He is very imposing, with long golden hair reaching his waist, and his whole body is full of vigor. He said, "The Ji family patriarch is too pessimistic. The emergence of the Primordial Clan is just a matter of survival. It's not that serious."

“The Primordial Clan is not a monolithic entity; we cannot condemn them all. Moreover, almost all members of the Primordial Clan have sages still alive. If we regard them all as enemies, our human race may not necessarily prevail,” the head of the Northern Plains Royal Family also spoke up.

With these two powerful figures speaking up, the discussion quickly became heated. There were pro-war factions supporting the Jiang and Ji families, centrists from the Yao Guang Holy Land and Piao Miao Palace, and peace advocates from the Northern Plains Golden Family and the Wang family...

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Don't they understand such a simple principle?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised, unable to see through the thoughts of the people on the field.

The Black Emperor sneered: "In the eyes of these powerful forces, it's hard to say who this race is. In fact, many of these forces believe that some lineages are even more hateful than alien races!"

Since the ancient times, the human race has dominated the rise and fall of the Northern Dipper Land. Naturally, various forces have clashed, and even blood feuds have been formed. If an ancient race were to emerge and happen to annihilate the other side, they would probably only applaud.

“The Black Emperor is right, and if we’re talking about race, your Holy Body would probably be considered a traitor…” Ning Qingyi said, her eyes turning strange: “You’re eating the food of the demon race, using the imperial weapon of the demon race, and the Black Emperor is by your side.”

Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor first nodded in agreement, then his expression turned unfriendly.

"Ning kid, what do you mean?"

Ye Fan finally understood, and he sighed, "According to this, it seems the Yaochi Gathering won't yield any results?"

Ning Qingyi calmly said, "If you want all the heroes of the Beidou human race to submit, the Quasi-Emperor alone is not enough. Only the current Great Emperor of the human race can make these heroes obey your command..."

Indeed, the human race has a very deep foundation. Since the three eras of mythology, primordial era, and ancient era, countless emperors have emerged.

During the ancient era alone, there were eleven emperors with names and surnames: Void, Eternal Universe, Western Emperor, Supreme Emperor, Nine Li, Divine Continent, Ancient China, Ruthless Man, Beginningless, Feathered Ascension, and Chaotic Ancient!
How many members of the ancient royal family have survived?
The Primitive Lake, Fire Scale Cave, Golden Cave, Blood Phoenix Mountain, Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, Divine Silkworm Ridge, plus the Fighting Saint Ape lineage and the Undying Emperor lineage, make a total of only eight.

It can be said that, on paper, the human race is in no way inferior to the ancient races.

Moreover, despite the seemingly difficult situation faced by the human race in the original work, not many well-known holy land forces were wiped out, and none of those with the inheritance of the Great Emperor suffered any serious damage.

Only ordinary humans suffered severe damage, with ancient races emerging from nowhere frequently wiping out entire regions and cities.

But these immortal forces didn't take any of this seriously; in their eyes, protecting their own little territory was enough. Even Yaochi, prioritizing peace, didn't take the initiative to speak out.

"When the country prospers, the people suffer. When the country falls, the people suffer." Ning Qingyi suddenly felt a pang of emotion, as if he were foreseeing the turmoil that would soon ensue on earth.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan felt a pang of sympathy.

Just then, the Queen Mother of the West spoke up: "Fellow practitioners, please hear me out."

The hall fell silent immediately.

The voice of the Queen Mother of the West echoed from the palace: "My quasi-emperor once said that there will be a great change in the Big Dipper in this world. The ancient race will not be just one or two, but most likely hundreds of races will be born at the same time."

"Our human race now enjoys the great land of Beidou, and is at its zenith. When the ancient races emerge, they will inevitably vie for our territory, just like the Stone Clan, the Primordial Lake, and the Valley of Gods not long ago."

"It's not that our human race doesn't want to be at peace with the ancient race, but that the ancient race wants to seize our human race's territory."

The Queen Mother of the West calmly pointed out this fact.

The Big Dipper is vast, capable of accommodating all races, but precious lands are scarce, insufficient to accommodate all races. For the sake of their people, their pursuit of the Dao, and even their desire to recreate a glorious past, the Primordial Race will not cease their efforts.

“Then let’s rely on our own abilities…” someone said coldly. “We can’t kill all the ancient races that have emerged, and the ancient races can’t wipe us out. Survival of the fittest, that’s all we need to do.”

The speaker was the leader of the Yin-Yang Sect. He looked like a sage, but his words were cruel.

These words silenced many powerful forces.

The Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi then said, “Everyone, Yaochi has always respected Heaven and loved people, and rarely quarrels with others. But the lineage of the Undying Emperor is a great enemy of our sect, and we will not let it go easily.”

"The patriarch has issued a decree to bring forward the Yaochi Gathering, not to suppress the various sects and force them to join hands in advancing and retreating, but simply to give you all a warning!"

As the Queen Mother of the West finished speaking, her phoenix eyes swept across the entire room, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

"With the emergence of the myriad ancient races, any human power that betrays its bloodline and dares to ally with or secretly collude with the ancient races will become a formidable enemy of Yaochi. In particular, those who dare to associate with the lineage of the Undying Emperor will face ruthless treatment from Yaochi!"

Hearing the Queen Mother of the West's rude words, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh, "I feel sorry for that prince. Of all people to offend, he had to offend a bunch of women."

The head of the Jiang family also stood up and said, "My Jiang family seconded this proposal. When all races emerge in the future, the holy lands and aristocratic families can stand by and watch. However, if they dare to secretly collude with the other races, our Sun God Furnace can still wipe out a major sect."

Upon hearing this, all the holy sites fell silent.

The Jiang family's words were not without basis. You should know that about 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, a god-king of the Jiang family used an extreme weapon to wipe out a holy land in the Northern Region, and even the continuous snow-capped mountains were flattened into an ice field.

"My Ji family seconds this," the Ji family head echoed. His face was expressionless, but his tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Silence fell over the room, but soon another voice came from the holy site.

"I second Yao Guang." This is also a force that possesses imperial weapons.

"Great Xia seconds the motion," the Great Xia Emperor declared.

……

The powerful figures from various holy lands, aristocratic families, and divine dynasties all agreed to this. Only the Northern Plains Golden Family and the Wang Family remained until the very end.

The Queen Mother of the West's gaze immediately sharpened.

"Patriarch Jin, Patriarch Wang, what's wrong? Don't you agree with my Yaochi's proposal?"

The patriarch of the Golden Family remained silent, his face shrouded in golden essence, obscuring his expression.

The head of the Wang family also frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The Wang family seconds this proposal." Now, all the pressure fell on the Golden Family lineage.

"Why does this clan disagree?" Ye Fan asked, somewhat puzzled. The Yaochi Quasi-Emperor had only drawn a bottom line; he was not trying to command the various holy land families. There was no reason for them to disagree.

Black Emperor chuckled: "Young Ye, you don't know this, do you? Their lineage is actually human, but they also have the blood of the Primordial Clan flowing through their veins, and the purity of that blood is quite high."

Ye Fan was taken aback: "But I heard that they call themselves the Golden Royal Clan of the human race."

“The self-proclaimed ancient races are often powerful, so they can all manifest human bodies, no different from humans.” Ning Qingyi explained: “During my years in Beidou, I once heard Yao Yuekong say that this lineage once stirred up trouble and was suppressed by the ancient emperor, and had to go far away to the Northern Plains.”

Ye Fan was stunned, never expecting that an ancient traitor would emerge from the Human Race Assembly.

The patriarch of the Golden Family remained expressionless: "If I disagree, will Yaochi wipe out my entire clan?"

The Queen Mother of the West calmly said, "Patriarch Jin, there is no need to worry. All who come are guests. Even if the Golden Family does not agree today, my Yaochi will ensure that you leave here safely."

The patriarch of the Golden Family remained silent, having fully understood the implication of the Queen Mother of the West's words.

"In that case, I second that," he said expressionlessly.

Beside Ning Qingyi and the others, the Black Emperor revealed a gloating smile, as if he could see the scene of the Golden Clan breaking their oath in the future.

"In that case, let's spread the word throughout the world."

Behind the Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi, a beautiful figure appeared. Her appearance was unclear, and she showed no emotion. Yet, standing there, she seemed to crush all obstacles.

"Ancestor..." the Queen Mother of the West said respectfully.

"See senior!"

At the Jade Pool Assembly, all the celestial palaces and powerful figures rose to their feet.

"If any of the major sects renege on this oath of our human race, even without the intervention of the ancient races, my Yaochi will bring retribution upon us. Do not say we did not warn you!"

The holy sites all agreed without the slightest objection.

"To see you, senior, is like witnessing the Great Dao itself. We beg you, senior, to have mercy and preach to us! Let us glimpse the path ahead!"

Soon, an old man emerged. He was trembling and looked as if he was about to die, but upon seeing the Quasi-Emperor of Yaochi, he was overcome with excitement.

"Please have mercy, senior!"

Among the various forces, there were figures who were stuck in a predicament and unable to make any progress. They all had pleading expressions on their faces, just to hear the voice of the Great Dao!
The Quasi-Emperor of Yaochi was not surprised at all, or rather, she had expected this scene.

"can."

She exhaled softly, and in the next instant, she appeared in the air.

An aura that seemed to encompass the entire universe and could reverse the course of the sun, moon, and stars emanated from her, accompanied by emanations of the Great Dao, sacred and incomprehensible, as if an immortal had descended to earth, making these sounds solemn and lofty.

"The human body is a world within a world, and there is a world outside the body. There are many mysteries that are difficult to describe. But opening the secret realm, cultivating the five elements in the chest, and tempering the physical body is to cultivate one's own world, and to transform one's own world into the outer universe..."

The five secret realms of the Quasi-Emperor of Yaochi began to glow. Then the first ray of light flew out, illuminating all things in heaven and earth. The first chaos appeared, and an ancient universe seemed to take shape. The first divine sound was emitted, as if a celestial king was preaching. Auspicious omens descended from the sky, and divine lotuses grew on the earth.

"...Refine essence into qi. Store it in the dantian, nourish your spirit, as if embracing a fetus..."

The innate Dao embryo evolved from the "Western Emperor Scripture" resonates with the Dao, and unknowingly, divine chants resound throughout the world, deafeningly loud, like the scripture resounding itself, like ancient gods preaching, enlightening people and awakening them.

The people who came to listen to the lecture were of different levels of cultivation. Some were completely absorbed, while others seemed to be deep in thought. The higher their level of cultivation, the more engrossed they became.

Ning Qingyi and Ye Fan were no exception; they both cultivated the Western Emperor Scripture and were able to obtain the true meaning from the scriptures of the Quasi-Emperor of Yaochi, so it can be said that they gained a lot.

Ye Fan cleverly took out the Bodhi Seed and copied the Great Dao Heavenly Sound of the Quasi-Emperor, entrusting it to the Dao Palace's "Departed Self" and "Dao Self" bodies. In an instant, the Dao Palace became extraordinary.

Ning Qingyi was no less impressive.

The divine mark on his shoulder, the purple-gold immortal bell, swayed slightly, automatically absorbing the Great Dao Heavenly Sound of the Quasi-Emperor and transforming it into an immeasurable cultivation treasure.

The scriptures filled the sky and fell down, transforming into a vast rain of light that landed on everyone's shoulders, deeply moving many and causing them to enter a state of enlightenment.

Time passed by, second by second.

For seven whole days, the Quasi-Emperor Yaochi sat cross-legged in the void. Beneath her, the Dao Platform formed by chaotic energy radiated precious light, and he appeared solemn and dignified, like a true immortal expounding scriptures and discussing the Dharma, explaining the various great Dao principles that exist in the world, and explaining many profound truths, which enlightened many people as if they had been given a sudden awakening.

One after another, Dao lotuses grew in the void, and crystal petals fell from the sky. Divine springs gushed forth on the earth, and the entire Jade Pool was radiant with light and color, submerged by the vast Dao energy.

Everyone who comes here to listen to the sutras gains something. Those who benefit greatly experience a state of spiritual clarity, directly attain enlightenment, and break through to another realm. Those who gain less still comprehend secret techniques and scriptures, deepening their understanding. This accumulation will greatly benefit their future cultivation.

This is the cultivation level of a quasi-emperor. He preached for several days and helped a large group of people break through their limits. It was a worthwhile trip.

"Our karmic connection has come to an end..."

Suddenly, this sentence arose in everyone's mind. When they looked up again, they found that the Chaos Qi Platform in the void was slowly collapsing, and the Quasi-Emperor Yaochi had disappeared.

"Hahaha, my Dao Palace has reached perfection!" Ye Fan exclaimed with joy.

During the previous pursuit, he had already opened up his fifth Dao Palace, which means he had completed the initial cultivation of the Dao Palace Secret Realm. With this lecture, he has directly reached the Great Perfection of the Dao Palace and is ready to undergo tribulation and break into the Four Extremes Secret Realm at any time.

Ning Qingyi also gained a lot; he had completed the third transformation of the Dragon Transformation and could break through to the fourth transformation at any time.

"boom!"

Above Yaochi, a large cloud of tribulation clouds gathered, indicating that many people were about to undergo tribulation.

Ning Qing glanced around and was shocked to find that Wang Yangzhan, the leader of the Yin Yang Sect, was radiating tribulation energy, clearly about to break through to the second level of the Immortal Realm and enter the third level of the Immortal Realm.

It must be said that his arrival has indeed changed a lot. Many characters in the original work who should have been trapped in the second level of Sendai Heaven have been blessed with good fortune and entered the third level of Immortal Realm.

"It's fate..."
