low-key master

2050 years after Chapter 800
In the latter part of the war, the population of the Wu clan dropped sharply, less than one-fifth of its heyday.

There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere, and mourning everywhere.

On the contrary, what are galloping on the land of Kyushu are the war beasts and soldiers of the Demon Race.The iron hooves of the demon lord's soldiers and horses trampled on this land mercilessly, controlling the east for more than seventy years!
Yaoji sighed: "Actually speaking, it's thanks to those Qi refiners."

"Later, those gas refiners rose up and led the remaining people to resist the killing of the demons. Moreover, many real masters appeared among the gas refiners, and the most powerful among them was Yuan Shi and the others. At that time, they were already comparable to A high-rank witch."

"Yuanshi, Daode, and Tongtian, the three most powerful qi refiners, led their disciples to kill many demon soldiers. After decades, they finally drove the demons away. "

"And at that time, people had long been disappointed with the upper class of the witch clan. Besides, the loss of so many witch species made the hope of cultivating advanced much smaller. Therefore, many people simply follow the practice of refining Qi. The warriors have practiced new exercises. Because they have heard that practicing the exercises of Qi practitioners does not need to be restricted by the inheritance of the witches."

"Anyway, in the next few hundred years, there will be more and more Qi practitioners. On the contrary, there will be fewer and fewer people practicing Wu Clan's exercises, and in the end there will not be many people practicing."

Xinyao not only sighed in pain: "The fate of the Wu Clan is actually like this... But in this way, the Qi Refiners have done nothing wrong. They didn't do anything wrong to the Wu Clan, but stood up at the last moment , Protecting the people of the Wu Clan from generation to generation. Without them, the Wu Clan would really be extinct. They have made great contributions to the world... Yuanshi Tianzun, I should pay homage to Xinyao!!!”

As he said that, this proud big celestial witch Xuying bowed deeply to salute Yuanshi Tianzun's Dao seal.

Even Gao Longzang bowed deeply to Yuanshi Tianzun's Taoist seal without saying a word.

Moreover, Tianwu Xinyao no longer called "Yuanshi" directly, but added the word "Tianzun" after Yuanshi, which was the first time.In fact, in the era when the two coexisted, Yuanshi Tianzun's status was far lower than that of Xinyao Tianwu.

Yaoji was a little reconciled, and said timidly: "He is a very hateful old bastard, you..."

"Don't talk nonsense again!" Xinyao's voice was stern, "You committed the crime yourself, and you should be punished. What's the matter with Yuanshi Tianzun? If someone harms my generals like you, I will execute him directly!"

Well, Yaoji was too scared to speak.

Afterwards, Xinyao said in confusion, "It's just a pity that His Majesty the Witch Emperor died in vain, as did the other two Heavenly Witches and the 24 generals..."

Of course, her words also meant that she died in vain back then.

But Gao Longzang shook his head and said, "No, teacher, don't think so."

"At that time, it was precisely because the Witch Emperor's inheritance could not continue and no new Witch Emperor could emerge, so His Majesty the Witch Emperor led you to do so."

"Just imagine, if you don't do that, after the death of the Witch Emperor, who else can contend against the Demon Emperor? In that case, the situation will be even worse. Because if the Demon Emperor leads, even if Yuanshi Tianzun and others are very powerful, in the At that time, it was simply irresistible. The little chicken said that at that time, Yuanshi Tianzun and the others were equivalent to the strength of the top-rank Tianwu."

"So, the sacrifices of His Majesty the Witch Emperor and you have at least laid the foundation for the alchemists to fight against the demons, so that they don't have to fight against peerless masters like the Demon Emperor at least during the period of weakness that has just emerged."

"Without the alchemists, we Dongfang people would have died; but without your sacrifices back then, everyone would still have died, there is no hope at all."

Xinyao thought for a while, then nodded dully, her words really made sense.As a result, her mood improved a little.

……

When the Qi refiners completely drove out the demons, it was already 250 years after Xinyao and Wuhuang died.

According to Yaoji, although the Qi refiners led everyone to drive away the army of the demon species, the population of the people in the east is smaller, and it is very difficult to inherit and reproduce.

During the heyday of the Wu clan, the population of Kyushu was as high as 4000 million.But after more than 200 years of internal friction and war, the population has dropped to less than 300 million!
These 300 million people are the ancestors of today's Orientals, and they are also the seeds and roots of the Chinese race's inheritance!
At this time, although the army of the demons left, they would still come and harass them every few years, killing a group and leaving.The demons have some strange mechanical civilizations, such as airships, which make their long-distance attack ability very powerful.

Unfortunately, Qi Refiners are different from the masters of the Wu Clan back then. They don't have the inheritance of the beast soul language, and they can't take flying beasts like Manya and Yaoji to block and chase them.Therefore, it is a bit similar to the situation of being passively beaten.

Moreover, it is precisely for this reason that more and more ferocious beasts are no longer controlled by humans, but instead begin to become huge enemies of humans.A number of ferocious beasts raged freely, devouring the lives of the common people.

You know, at that time there were still many Class A beasts like Manya and Yaoji, they were really too powerful.The threat they pose to the people of the East is even greater than that of the demons.

But at that time, Yuanshi Tianzun and others were only equivalent to the strength of the top-rank Tianwu, and the disciples under his command were not as powerful as the army of the Wu tribe back then. They were really powerless to resist the demons and drive away the beasts at the same time.

In desperation, Yuanshi Tianzun and the others had no choice but to abandon the rich and fertile plains, and hid in the deep mountains with their people.Because as mentioned earlier, if you live in caves in deep mountains, such as Kunlun Mountain, the threat of fierce beasts will be greatly reduced.

Just like this Yuxu Palace, although the interior is very wide, the entrance is very small.Those huge ferocious beasts are at least difficult to get in easily, so it is easy for the alchemists to guard them.

In addition, these caves are very high in altitude, and it is easy to climb to the top of the mountain.Even if there is an airship from the Demon Race, they can climb to the top of the mountain to attack and block.The height of the airship is no longer outside their attack range, which greatly reduces the death of the Eastern ancestors and effectively curbs the invasion of the demons.

"What about later?" Gao Longzang asked.He is very interested in this kind of rare ancient history.

But Yaoji shook his head: "Later, Xiao Ji didn't know anymore. Anyway, the clansmen have been working very hard. They have lived in caves for hundreds of years. Until Xiao Ji was imprisoned by Yuan Shi's old gang... Yuan Shi Tianzun When they woke up, they were still struggling to survive here, and it was 800 years after my aunt entered the sea eye."

"But at that time, Yuanshi Tianzun had become powerful, and he seemed to be catching up with the Witch Emperor back then."

"So Xiaoji thought that in the near future, they might come out of the cave, because they have the ability to repel the demons on the plain, and they also have the means to kill and imprison huge beasts."

What Yaoji said was right, since then, the era of Qi refiners has really come.

Moreover, the method of using special jade to imprison the demon seeds was exactly what Yuanshi Tianzun and the others accidentally discovered later that the kind of things they refined could not only assist in cultivation, slightly resist demonic thoughts, but even imprison demon seeds and souls.

It's not that they didn't tell the Witch Emperor at the beginning, it's because they didn't master this method at that time.
