“The Wu Clan destroyed the Saint Clan?!” Ye Chu had almost guessed the result.
Ye Jingyun nodded. She moved those tender, white, slender hands away from her legs, straightening her long legs. Those long, slender legs were quite eye-catching. Even Xiang Fu, who was quite advanced in years, looked over.
“That battle was simply world-shaking. The Wu Clan actually forced the two ancestors of the Saint Clan to take action. These were two absolute powerhouses, figures even with hope of charging towards the position of Supreme. Yet it was such absolute powerhouses. They were blown apart by the people of the Wu Clan. Not even a Yuan Spirit was left behind. They died an unnatural death just like that.”
“Afterwards, the entire Saint Clan faced a catastrophic disaster. Less than a thousand people completely levelled a world-renowned great clan. And the most shocking thing was this, not a single person of the Wu Clan died!”
“Chi…”
Ye Chu sucked in a breath of cold air. He all found it hard to imagine. The Saint Clan of the flourishing era was so terrifying. It was absolutely not comparable to the present Saint Clan. Such an existence truly had the power to shake heaven and earth. Yet such a great clan was easily destroyed by the Wu Clan. Even absolute powerhouses were blown apart. This proved the might of the Wu Clan.
“After this fury of the Wu Clan, it let the world witness the terror of the Wu Clan. Everyone’s attitude towards the Wu Clan instantly changed. The Wu Clan leapt to become a Saint Clan. No one dared to lightly provoke the Wu Clan. The Wu Clan thus became famous in the world. Even though there were less than a thousand people, they were still an absolute great clan of decisive weight in the world.”
“But this was only one link in the chain of the Wu Clan’s terrifying battle record. Afterwards, an even more terrifying battle record occurred. The strongest person of the Wu Clan actually fought a Supreme and was not defeated!”
“Fought a Supreme and was not defeated?” Ye Chu only felt his heart beating fiercely. He stared blankly at Ye Jingyun, digesting the information she brought.
“Back then, no one knew the reason, but a Supreme sought out the Wu Clan. At that time, everyone thought the Wu Clan would have to bow their heads and submit now. But the result was that the Wu Clan met the Supreme in battle.”
“That battle was one of the most intense battles in the Mortal Realm. They fought until the heavens nearly shattered. They fought for a full three days. The strongest of the Wu Clan fought the Supreme without defeat. In the end, they fought until the Supreme was coughing up blood. On the third day, both were heavily injured by each other.”
“After that battle, the Supreme personally said he could not defeat him. Then he just left the Wu Clan like that! It was precisely this battle that let the Wu Clan’s prestige reach an incomparable degree. They became a peak race comparable to one with a Supreme overseeing it. Countless races came to worship and beg the Wu Clan for protection.” When Ye Jingyun spoke to this point, she was also somewhat in a daze. How glorious and domineering the Wu Clan was back then. Only, all of this had changed beyond recognition.
“Ashamed, ashamed! We have failed our ancestors!” After hearing Ye Jingyun finish speaking, Xiang Fu’s old tears flowed. Those turbid eyes were full of guilt. The glory and dominance of the ancestors had all vanished completely. Those left behind were actually being bullied by ordinary cultivators. Disgracing the ancestors!
Ye Chu did not know how to comfort Xiang Fu. He also found it hard to understand how such an absolute great clan of that year could suddenly fall to such a state.
“Previously I was still surprised why Xiang Chunan could fight against the Xuan Ming Realm without cultivating. Now I can understand. If you are people of the Wu Clan, this is nothing strange. The people of the Wu Clan have physical bodies that are supreme under heaven. Even a newborn infant can be comparable to the Innate Realm.” Ye Jingyun said, “Only there is one point I am very curious about. The rumours say the Wu Clan has no Primordial Spirit and only cultivates the physical body. Is this true?”
Ye Jingyun thought of the ancient texts’ introduction about the Wu Clan. She found it hard to understand. A person who does not cultivate the Primordial Spirit, how do they cultivate? They cannot comprehend Dao and Law. How do they merge with heaven and earth! Not to mention, reaching a physical body that can contend with a Supreme.
“Our clan indeed has no Primordial Spirit. We only cultivate the physical body!” Xiang Fu nodded and said.
“How can there be life without a Primordial Spirit?” Ye Jingyun truly found it hard to understand. Without even a soul, how could that count as a life?
Ye Chu was completely shaken. The Wu Clan of his previous life also had no Primordial Spirit. Could they really be the same clan? This was rather too… Thinking of the Eight Trigrams Diagram he saw in the Forbidden Land Divine Palace, Ye Chu no longer found it strange. All paths lead to the same destination. If there was a Wu Clan in the previous life, having a Wu Clan here was not strange either. Compared to the modern world of his previous life, this place seemed closer to the mythological era.
“This is the special nature of our clan. Our clan’s physical bodies themselves nurture life. There is no need for a Yuan Spirit. It is precisely because of this that our clan cannot cultivate. Otherwise, our clan, not to mention finding excellent cultivation methods, but finding some inferior ones would also not be a problem. It would not have reached the point where no one cultivates.” Xiang Fu answered.
Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun believed Xiang Fu’s words. On this continent, cultivation methods were endless. If one put their heart into searching, they could still obtain some. At the very least, using Golden Peck Bird Beaks to exchange, they could exchange for some cultivation methods.
“Your clan was so strong before. You definitely had suitable cultivation methods. Then why…” Ye Chu finally asked the curiosity in his heart.
“Our clan indeed had cultivation methods. This was the supreme treasure of our clan. The only cultivation method that every person of the Wu Clan could cultivate was it. It only cultivates the physical body. And when our Wu Clan people cultivate it, it is simply like adding wings to a tiger. Cultivating to the extreme, one can fight a Supreme. The ancestor of our clan who fought a Supreme that Miss Ye spoke of was precisely because he cultivated his own physical body to the extreme. Although not a Supreme, he was comparable to a Supreme. It can also be considered an alternative path to enlightenment!” Xiang Fu answered, “With the miraculous nature of our clan, originally there was no way we would fall to such a state. But…”
“You are talking about the Myriad Races Seeking Godhood?” Ye Jingyun suddenly said. This was the greatest event before ancient times. At that time, there were countless powerhouses. But in the end, they could not withstand the passage of time. Many people were approaching their great limit and began to fall one by one.
The longer people lived, the more they feared death. They began to pursue longevity. And to live long, one had to become a god.
Gods were ethereal and terrifying, even surpassing Supremes. Such an existence, how could they achieve it?
The myriad races all felt powerless. But at that time, some news spread from who knows where. Rumours said someone had seen a god, and left behind a legend saying how one could become a god.
This completely drove the myriad races mad. Especially those people approaching their great limit. They could no longer sit still. And these people were the most peak figures of the continent, controlling the entire continent.
Their actions influenced the entire continent. The myriad races all mobilised their most peak combat power, wanting to become gods in one stroke.
Even the Wu Clan was no exception. No one could resist the temptation of becoming a god. The Wu Clan left behind the young generation. Everyone else participated in the competition to become gods.
“Yes, it was the Myriad Races Seeking Godhood. That time, countless races were destroyed, including our clan. Not a single ancestor of our clan who went returned alive. Only the young generation was left behind. The young generation was less than a hundred people.” Speaking to this point, Xiang Fu’s eyes were red. “The Wu Clan was nearly exterminated. Most importantly, at that time they left in haste. They did not even leave behind the cultivation methods of the clan!”
