Chapter 838 - 238: Human Emperor and Li Yuan

Chapter 838: Chapter 238: Human Emperor and Li Yuan

This might sound simple, but without predecessors to blaze the trail, trying to forge the path alone is as hard as ascending to heaven.

Therefore, the true Life Atlas must contain two points: first, the Realm Gate for cultivating the Talisman Seed; second, the Qi Blood Circulation Method.

Only by uniting these can ordinary people enter the Sixth Grade Realm, resulting in the first transformation of Life Value, breaking the lifespan of two hundred years.

But now, what exactly is this trajectory?

Li Yuan desperately wrote.

He only ceased writing after a long while.

The clash between the Barbarian King and the Human Emperor, followed by the swift sword intervention of the Human Emperor, ended so quickly that it was over just as he finally fetched paper and pen.

As expected, he only noted down a little.

And this little bit was already enough to make him rack his brains, spending considerable time.

It can be imagined that, even if he had held onto the paper and pen earlier, it would be impossible to "copy" it instantly.

At this moment, Li Yuan looked at this little bit of trajectory.

In the end, he discovered that he couldn’t discern what this trajectory truly was.

It seemed like a pattern, yet it also seemed like an incredibly complex character.

He wanted to see clearly, but this cluster appeared to move without any pattern ceaselessly.

Up and down, countless branches emerged and extinguished constantly, while the middle was filled with whirlpools layer upon layer, yet upon closer inspection, it was impossible to make out what lay within.

This felt like those "animated images that seem to move but don’t" he saw before crossing over, making him feel dizzy, causing dizziness and headache after just a few moments.

"Indeed, there’s a great secret hidden."

Li Yuan put down the paper, sighed, and carefully stored it away, waiting to study it slowly later on.

He didn’t know where the new world would head either.

Not just him, likely no one in the Divine Spirit Tomb or East Sea Immortal Realm knows.

Therefore, he must seize every chance to adapt and probe the new world.

After doing all this, the Illusionary Sparrow then paid attention to Xiao Wu Ya.

Then shared his conjecture with Xiao Wu Ya.

The Human Emperor’s attitude towards the Barbarian Race is actually very complex.

First, the Human Emperor likely inherited the will of the Dragon Vein.

And the Dragon Vein and Barbarian Race, to some extent, are actually allies, since they both oppose the Great Unity of Yin Yang.

However, when the Great Unity of Yin Yang truly appeared, the Dragon Vein and Barbarian Race fought to the death, as the Great Unity of Yin Yang would grant extraordinary strength to Central Earth.

And a competent leader would never base their nation’s future on "I think the neighboring country will be kind and won’t oppress us."

Once Central Earth became powerful, the Barbarian Race was bound to suffer.

Therefore, the Barbarian King must lead troops to sweep through the Central Plains.

And their worship and dependency on fire destined them to struggle to remain outside for long.

So, they would only sweep the Central Plains but cannot replace it.

"So now the Human Emperor thinks the Barbarian Race is not worth fearing, but he also wants to leave a Fire Seed for this hidden ally, thus not completely exterminating them, right? Father?" Xiao Wu Ya remarked thoughtfully.

The Illusionary Sparrow nodded, then spread its wings and flew back.

The great battle here had already ended, leaving only the steps to further expand the results akin to palace stones in a chess game.

However, what intrigued him was the state of the Emperor.

Currently, was the Emperor a human form Dragon Vein or Ji Hu?

However, this problem did not occupy Li Yuan’s thoughts for long, as he soon immersed himself completely in researching the "Golden Light Trajectory."

He constantly replicated the "pattern formed by the Golden Light Trajectory," and then tore the paper into pieces, studying, observing, remembering piece by piece.

...

...

A story on two fronts...

The Emperor wielded a sword at Long Sleep River’s bank, repelled the advancing twenty thousand Wolf Soldiers, then remained uninvolved, allowing the southern troops to restore the Cloud Mountain Path.

This army, with mighty momentum, occupied the area east of the Cloud Mountain Path, yet west was exceptionally difficult. Because in fact, west of Cloud Mountain Path had completely merged with the Barbarian Race. Although Great Zhou soldiers occupied it today, tomorrow it would be attacked again. Thus, both sides were locked in a tug-of-war.

However, Ying Shanxing and generals from all over had already gathered here.

Repelling the Barbarians was not their goal.

They wanted to integrate the Barbarian Race into the Central Plains territory.

Hence, they attacked along the way, even sending letters stating that should "the Barbarian King surrender and move the whole family into Jade Capital to receive the seal from the Great Zhou Emperor," troops would retreat.

By rights, such letters would be enough to shake a typical enemy or sow internal dissent.

But this absolutely did not include the Ice Barbarians, especially those controlled by the Divine Spirit Tomb.

The Great Zhou army fell into a sustained stalemate east of Sword Mountain, and after realizing the relationship between east of Cloud Mountain Path and the Barbarian Race, began retaliatory looting and slaughter, venting frustrations by razing cities, partly to reward soldiers, partly to provoke the Barbarian Race to fight.

After all, the Western Pole was beyond their courage to enter.

So... east of Cloud Mountain Path became the "hostage" to force the Barbarian Race to fight.

Chaotic times have always been like this since ancient days, not something a word or two can stop; from top to bottom, from soldiers to generals, all harbored such thoughts.

Such fighting persisted for over two months.

With deep winter snow along with battles, the officers of Great Zhou suddenly realized... perhaps they couldn’t integrate the Barbarian Race into the territory.

Thus, Ying Shanxing devised a "vicious plan," which was the "Great Migration."

He began forcibly moving all civilians east of Cloud Mountain Path eastward, thus cutting off the Ice Barbarians’ "human resources supply."

Yet, the Ice Barbarians would never agree.

But previously all Ice Barbarian elites had gone out, leaving only hundreds of Two-headed Wolf Riders who returned without courage, while Great Zhou had numerous strong individuals and troops blocking the door.
