destiny eternal calamity

One month later, on the sixth day of the eighth lunar month.

Xuanyuan finally arrived at the territory ruled by the Shenzu.

Looking at the boundless sea before him, Li Wei felt a surge of excitement.

This was the first time he had ever seen the ocean in the world.

Although it was 10,000 years ago.

Ji Yuanhong had a cowhide drum brought out and started beating it with a special rhythm. Before long, a thick fog rose from the sea.

A group of handsome young men and women emerged from the sea, all wearing crystal-like armor.

"But it's the Xuanyuan clan!"

The young man in the lead asked loudly.

"Indeed! I am Ji Yuanhong, and I have brought the entire Xuanyuan clan to pledge my allegiance, earnestly requesting the protection of the Mirage Clan!"

"You all follow me."

The mirage-like men and women walked into the sea, and the seawater parted to reveal a passage.

Li Wei then followed Xuanyuan into the sea.

After walking about ten miles, Li Wei saw a huge building.

This magnificent building stands in the sea, constructed of stone.

Li Wei counted briefly and found that the building had at least thirty floors and covered a very large area.

The Xuanyuan clan couldn't even fill one floor.

Sure enough, after reaching the back of the enormous building, the leading Mirage Clan man said:

"You will live on the seventh floor from now on, together with the Li Lou family. There is no seawater on this floor."

"The tribe will provide you with the food and water you need on time. If you want to travel, you need to report it."

"Tomorrow, each of your clans shall select fifty able-bodied men who have not received the Tengshe totem to come and receive the totem branding."

After the man finished speaking, he led them up to the seventh floor and then left.

The seawater gradually closed in again, but it seemed to be blocked by some kind of barrier, preventing it from entering the space within the seven layers.

Li Wei surveyed the surroundings.

It was simple, but also spacious.

The floor is very tall, about seven or eight meters, so it doesn't feel cramped.

There were many rooms inside; Li Wei counted at least three thousand.

Seemingly having heard the commotion, a door nearby opened, and some wary-looking humans emerged.

They must be the Li Lou clan that the Shen tribe man mentioned earlier.

After a while, the leader of the Li Lou clan appeared.

This group is a matrilineal clan, so their patriarch is an old woman.

Ji Yuanhong had a long and amicable conversation with the old lady from the Lou family, and finally they agreed on the division of their territories.

It took several dozen households of the Li Lou clan to move away to make room for a complete area.

Of course, the Xuanyuan clan also helped with the move.

When everything was over, Li Wei was assigned a room in the middle.

There are glowing stones on the ceiling; they look irregular and probably aren't luminous pearls...

Li Wei gazed at the deep, dark sea outside, where a fish occasionally swam by, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Li Wei felt a little restrained.

This place is indeed not short of food and drink, but I came to this era to find the "Nine Cauldrons True Scripture", and I can only stay for a year. What's the point of just lying around?

He greeted Ji Yuanhong and then went to the entrance of the seventh floor to talk to the Mirage Clan who was in charge of that floor.

"You mean, you're a disciple of Kunlun?"

The Mirage Clan leader was slightly startled.

It is said that the Queen Mother of the West resides in Kunlun, who teaches martial arts to humankind, enabling them to become powerful.

The Mirage Clan initially thought this was just human imagination, but they never expected that a descendant of Kunlun would actually appear.

The old man dared not make a decision on his own and immediately reported the matter to his superiors.

The report goes up and down the chain of command, which means another long waiting period.

During this time, Li Wei joked around with the old mirage and learned a lot of secrets from ten thousand years ago.

Lao Shen wanted to know what the Queen Mother of the West looked like, and Li Wei then learned that the divine being who taught martial arts to the human race was called the Queen Mother of the West.

He made up a story that he was of low status and could not see the Queen Mother of the West, and that all the martial arts he practiced were taught by his senior brother.

When asked for his specific name, Li Wei gave the name of his classmate from his previous life without hesitation, which didn't seem like he had made it up.

Finally, when he ran out of things to say, a mirage woman appeared and took him away.

Li Wei followed the mirage woman upwards.

As she left the seventh floor, she waved her hand, and a huge bubble enveloped Li Wei, preventing him from drowning.

Li Wei followed behind her and asked curiously:

"I've heard that you clamshells are hermaphroditic, so why do you take on different human forms, male and female?"

"Young Master Wei, although your question is somewhat offensive, I am still willing to answer you. Your understanding is wrong. When we Mirage Clan are born, we do not actually decide our gender. Whether we become male, female, or hermaphroditic depends entirely on our personal preference. Of course, once decided, it can never be changed."

"By the way, I'm hermaphroditic. I only chose to take on the appearance of a woman because I liked it."

"Mirage Woman, no, Mirage Hermaphrodite, said with a smile."

Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine. He had just thought this woman was very beautiful and had a good figure...

Fortunately, she had received guidance from the two beauties, Long Bilin and Xiao Shuying, before coming, so she didn't have any inappropriate thoughts about this hermaphrodite.

Before long, the two arrived at their destination, the eighteenth floor.

This is a martial arts training hall, which has been drained of seawater to simulate the ground environment.

As soon as Li Wei entered the hall, he noticed that many eyes were on him.

Clearly, the fact that he was a disciple of Kunlun had alarmed the Mirage Clan.

"Lord Wei Li, how can you prove that you are a disciple of Kunlun?" A middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the hall stood up and asked.

The weak human race and the human race that can cultivate martial arts are not the same kind of beings; this is a consensus among everyone present.

Moreover, he has a powerful Kunlun behind him.

That's why they used a respectful title for Li Wei.

Li Wei thought for a moment and said, "It's simple. Do you have anything to test strength?"

Soon, a huge stone was lifted up.

"Sir, this kind of stone cannot be broken. The depth you can drill determines your strength."

Li Wei nodded and walked to the stone.

Charge up your strength, and then unleash a punch.

A deep fist mark was left on the stone.

"This is divine-level power, there's no mistake!"

"Humans can actually cultivate divine treasures?"

The surrounding mirage demons immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"Gentlemen, in Kunlun, I am merely at the bottom of the pack. Above me are hundreds and thousands of the chosen ones of heaven."

He said with a slight smile.

The reason he chose to expose his martial arts skills to the Mirage Clan was because he observed that this clan was kind-hearted but also suspicious.

He wouldn't harm himself, but he was also afraid of Kunlun, who might be behind him.

Moreover, the Mirage Clan is considered a powerful clan among the demon clans.

Gaining the friendship of the Mirage Clan would make things much easier later on.

"You mean, your human race can all become stronger by practicing this kind of martial art?"

Li Wei gave an affirmative answer.

The many mirage demons finally died of their anxiety.

They didn't take the legend of Kunlun martial arts seriously before because it was too far-fetched, relying on hard work rather than bloodline.

Isn't that ridiculous?

But Li Wei's appearance was a slap in the face to them.

Given the sheer number of humans, once they all master martial arts, their overall combat strength would be simply outrageous.

Will the demon race really be able to defeat the human race, whose entire population practices martial arts?
