144: Chapter 144 The Human Emperor Returns! The Human Race is in an uproar! The Growth of the Three Ancestors!

Inside the Council Hall of the Human Race Ancestral Court.

Ancestor Sui Ren, Youchao, and Ziyi, the three ancestors of the Human Race, were discussing the war on the front lines.

The three of them sat at the head of the hall, surrounded by Immortal Rank Laws.

After years of bitter cultivation, added to the feedback of the Human Race's Luck, the three ancestors had successfully broken through the barrier of the Emperor Realm, completely transforming into Immortals.

In the classification of Realms in the Honghuang World, their cultivation had now reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

These three ancestors were not only profound in cultivation but were also the pillars of the Human Race.

Ancestor Sui Ren's method of drilling wood for fire had evolved into a miraculous fire of heaven and earth.

This flame could not only dispel darkness but could also refine all things in heaven and earth.

He used this fire to teach his clansmen the way of Artifact Refining.

Utilizing the fire he controlled, Ancestor Sui Ren worked day and night without rest to temper weapons for the front-line soldiers, enhancing the lethality of the Human Race's army.

Now, the Human Race's army was well-equipped and their weapons were sharp.

Youchao traveled throughout the territories of the Human Race, placing defensive Dao patterns at the eyes of the Formations in every city, constructing grand city-protecting Formations.

The cities he constructed were not just places to live, but also war fortresses.

The city walls were carved with complex Formation patterns.

When the Yao Race attacked, the city walls would raise a spiritual light shield to resist external attacks.

Ziyi coordinated resources in the rear.

She led the female Cultivators in the clan to gather Spiritual Plants and spiritual silkworms from heaven and earth, weaving magic robes engraved with Formations, reducing the casualties of the clansmen on the battlefield.

She also taught the clansmen how to identify Spiritual Plants and refine Medicinal Pills.

The injured clansmen could receive timely treatment and return to the battlefield.

"The Yao Race has been active frequently lately." Ancestor Sui Ren frowned slightly, his voice deep. "Yesterday, White Tiger City on the western border was attacked by three Yao Immortals. The several Emperor Realm clansmen stationed there resisted with their lives, eventually repelling the Yao Immortals, but the City Guard suffered heavy casualties."

Youchao sighed and said: "The Yao Race is powerful after all. Although our Human Race is developing rapidly and our population is surging, we are still lacking in high-level combat power. Emperor Realm clansmen can still protect themselves against ordinary Yao Immortals, but once they encounter Yao Race members at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, it is difficult to contend with them."

Ziyi's eyes were firm as she said: "No matter how difficult the situation is, we must hold onto this Foundation. This is the base laid down for us by the Human Emperor; it must never be lost. As long as the three of us are here, the Yao Race need not think about stepping even half a step into the ancestral land."

Mentioning the Human Emperor, deep reverence appeared in the eyes of the three ancestors.

He was their guide.

At this moment, above the firmament, space split open.

A figure stepped out.

It was Ye Xuan, who had returned from the Perfect World.

Ye Xuan stood high in the sky, his gaze sweeping over the Human Race territory below.

He saw the cities, saw the clansmen fighting in blood, and sensed the aura of the Emperor Realm.

"It seems the three ancestors have developed the Human Race quite well." Ye Xuan nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

The clansmen had shown resilience and potential.

Subsequently, he checked his own cultivation status.

Having undergone tempering in the Perfect World, he was now in the Red Dust Immortal Realm.

This cultivation system opened up an Inner Universe within the body.

Even if the Honghuang World's tribulation descended and Karma was added to his body, it could not shake his Foundation.

Converted to the classification of Realms in the Honghuang World, his cultivation at this moment was comparable to the Perfection of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

But his true combat power went far beyond that.

Suspended in the Sea of Consciousness between his brows was the chaos bead, his body nurtured the broken pieces of the six paths of reincarnation disk, and inside his Purple Mansion was the human emperor seal that had undergone transformation after fusing with the World Mountain.

The chaos bead concealed heavenly secrets, the broken pieces of the six paths of reincarnation disk controlled the Law of Reincarnation, and the human emperor seal suppressed Luck.

These three supreme treasures gave him the capital to fight across ranks.

With all his trump cards out, his combat power approached that of an Immortal King.

Immortal King combat power, in this Honghuang World where Grand Unity Golden Immortals did not easily make moves, was enough to give him the right to speak and protect the Human Race to seek a chance of survival in the tribulation.

Ye Xuan restrained his mind and no longer concealed his aura.

The pressure belonging to the Human Emperor poured down from the high sky, enveloping the entire ancestral land of the Human Race.

The Luck of humanity rolled in the firmament, condensing into the phantoms of nine golden dragons.

The golden dragons circled and danced, emitting dragon roars that shook the nine heavens.

This aura contained the grand wish to protect all living beings.

Inside the Ancestral Court hall.

Ancestor Sui Ren, Youchao, and Ziyi stood up at the same time.

They felt that familiar aura, their bodies trembling with excitement.

"This is the aura of the Human Emperor." Ancestor Sui Ren exclaimed, his eyes full of wild joy.

"The Human Emperor has returned." Youchao and Ziyi also shouted excitedly.

The three ancestors immediately turned into three streaks of light, rushed out of the hall, and flew to meet that figure in mid-air.

Countless clansmen within the Human Race territory also felt the pressure. They stopped their actions and looked up at the firmament.

When they saw that figure, the entire Human Race boiled over.

"It is Your Majesty the Human Emperor."

"Your Majesty the Human Emperor has returned."

Cheers resounded through the clouds and echoed under Mount Buzhou. The clansmen knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Ye Xuan.

For them, the Human Emperor was their backbone and the source of their faith.

That the Human Race could struggle to survive from the bottom, to now expand territory, establish an immortal cultivation civilization, and possess all of this before them, was inseparable from the Human Emperor's teachings and planning.

Without Ye Xuan passing down the Shrouding the Heavens Technique, and without him killing the evil great demons, the Human Race would have long been extinct under the survival Laws of the Honghuang World.

Ye Xuan's figure descended and stopped on the white jade square in front of the Ancestral Court.

Ancestor Sui Ren, Youchao, and Ziyi stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan: "Greetings, Human Emperor."

Ye Xuan raised his hand to support them, and a gentle force lifted the three ancestors up.

Ye Xuan looked at the three ancestors, detected the stable Immortal Rank Laws in their bodies, and smiled: "You have all broken through the Emperor Realm and completely transformed into Immortals. Very good."

Ancestor Sui Ren said respectfully: "It is all thanks to the Cultivation Technique bestowed by the Human Emperor. Without your guidance, how could we three have today's cultivation? The Human Race's achievements today are all your credit."

Ye Xuan waved his hand and said: "This is the result of the entire clan fighting in blood together. You led the clansmen to resist external enemies, and your contributions are great. You have suffered during the time I was away."

Youchao said: "To pave the way for eternal peace for the Human Race, we would die without regrets. During this period, the Yao Race invaded the border many times. If not for us three breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm and personally killing several great demons... Now that the Human Emperor has returned, we are finally at ease."

Ye Xuan scanned the clansmen gathered on the square and said loudly: "In the days I was away, you have done very well. The Human Race was not only not defeated by the Yao Race, but instead expanded its territory and gave birth to many Emperor Realm Cultivators. I am very satisfied with your growth."

Hearing this, the clansmen present were extremely excited.

Young Cultivators were moved to tears. They were born after Ye Xuan left and grew up listening to the legends of the Human Emperor. Seeing this leader who led the Human Race to rise with their own eyes, the Battle Intent and faith in their hearts became firm.

Ziyi looked at Ye Xuan and said: "The Human Emperor's aura has become increasingly unfathomable during this trip."

Ye Xuan nodded and said: "I did have some fortuitous encounters. This time I brought back many divine objects and Legacies, enough to lift the overall strength of the Human Race to a higher level. Let's go, go into the hall and talk in detail."

Ye Xuan took the lead and walked towards the Ancestral Court hall, with the three ancestors following closely behind.

After entering the hall and taking their seats, Ancestor Sui Ren reported the map of territorial expansion, the number of Emperor Realm Cultivators, and the war situation of conflicts with the Yao Race at various borders to Ye Xuan one by one.

Ye Xuan listened carefully and analyzed: "The Demon Heavenly Court's focus is now on the Wu Race, and they have no energy to launch a large-scale attack on us. Those attacking the border are just probes by regional forces. This is a good opportunity to temper our clansmen."

"But if the Yao Race Great Sages make a move, the front line will surely suffer heavy casualties." Youchao was a little worried.

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, his tone revealing confidence: "No matter. With me here, if the Yao Race Great Sages dare to invade, I will definitely make sure they never return."

Subsequently, Ye Xuan told the three ancestors about his next plan.

"Although the Human Race has expanded its territory, its overall strength is still in a weak position among the ten thousand races of the Honghuang World. We need more Taiyi Golden Immortals, or even Grand Unity Golden Immortals." Ye Xuan said.

Ancestor Sui Ren smiled bitterly: "The path to Immortal Ascension is difficult. The three of us also spent a long time and gathered the Luck of the whole clan to barely break through."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan stood up and looked outside the hall.

"The Human Race must strive for self-improvement. We cannot be limited to this corner of Mount Buzhou." Ye Xuan's voice spread throughout the hall, "The enemies we will face in the future are far more powerful than the current Yao Race tribes. We must seize every opportunity to improve our strength. I will stay in the ancestral land to preach and teach higher Profound Truths of cultivation."

The three ancestors agreed in unison.

Above the Human Race ancestral land, the Luck golden dragon circled.

The return of the Human Emperor injected power into the entire Human Race.

The Bottleneck of the Human Race's stagnant development was about to be broken.
