Chapter 867: The Ancient Clan of Asgard (1)
Yanshan tribe is one of the few aristocratic forces in Xuanyuan Tian that still maintain the form of the ancient immortal palace tribe. It is also the most powerful force on the edge of the Great Temple. At least this is what the patriarchs of the Yanshan tribe think.
Since the establishment of the Immortal Path of the Three Realms, various human customs have been brought into the Immortal Palace. Those demon tribes who have developed spiritual intelligence and can transform gradually believe that they should treat them differently from ordinary demon tribes, so they have established some hierarchical systems that conform to the habits of demon tribes according to the customs and systems of the human race. The demon tribes with blood have gradually become demon families after the establishment of the system. Even if some demon tribes are still named after the clan, their system is still dominated by the aristocratic family.
The biggest difference between these demon families, the system of the wealthy clan and the system of the ancient fairy palace demon tribe is the inheritance of the clan leader. Among the wealthy clans, the clan leader is still the strongest person in the clan, but he has bloodline limitations. Only the most pure direct bloodline can be qualified to inherit the position of the clan leader. However, in the ancient fairy palace demon tribe, the strong are completely respected. As long as you are a member of the tribe, whether you have the pure direct bloodline of the demon tribe of this tribe, you are qualified to become the clan leader. As long as you kill all competitors in the ancestral spirit festival every hundred years, you can become the clan leader and take charge of the entire tribe for a hundred years until the next major festival begins.
The Ancestral Spirit Sacrifice is the most important ritual and system of the ancient fairy palace demon tribe, and its importance even exceeds the grand ceremony of the clan leader ascending the throne. The tribe's ancestor spirit is formed by the most original power condensed after the death of the demon members of the tribe. Most of its forms are the original form of the ancient prehistoric demons contained in the tribe's bloodline. Their magical powers, powers, etc. are the same as the ancient prehistoric demons. The only difference is that they have no physical body. They can only appear with spiritual bodies. The initial demon race did not have any immortal techniques, demon techniques and other methods. Even if they can transform into shape, they will not change into other forms. Most of them will maintain their demon bodies and constantly let themselves practice. The ultimate goal is to practice to the same as the ancestor spirit and restore the true body of the ancient demon race.
In the ancient Immortal Palace, before the demonic magic was formed, the demonic magic powers could only rely on instinct to practice. The existence of the ancestor spirit was like a Dharma-transmitting man, who imparted the demonic magic deduced by the immortals to future generations. However, ancient ruins were constantly discovered, and some ancient methods also appeared. Various Taoist laws and classics passed from the secular world to the three realms of Kunlun, further improved the methods of the demons. In the end, the demons escaped the restrictions of the ancestor spirit's transmission of the Dharma one by one, and began to break out their own methods based on their own situation, using Taoist laws and ancient methods as the foundation.
With the improvement of the demon clan's method, the greatest role of the ancestor spirit weakened and even disappeared. Although the power of the ancestor spirit was still strong, it required blood sacrifice to be exerted. Even if the demon clan's strong men were unable to compete with the ancestor spirit in terms of power, they did not have the restrictions like the ancestor spirit, and there was no need to sacrifice the clan members. Over time, the various demon clan tribes no longer had any respect for the ancestor spirit, and the tribe's old system collapsed and gradually became a noble family.
Although most of the demon clans in the Xiaoyuntian Ten Thousand Demons Mountains are mainly tribes, those tribes can only be considered subordinate tribes of the demon clan family at best, which is very different from the real ancient fairy palace demon clan tribe and cannot be compared.
In the Immortal Palace, one of the oldest demon tribes in the Yanshan tribe. Although its tribe history is much earlier than that of the four saints, and compared to other demon tribes who often migrate everywhere according to the trend of spiritual energy, the Yanshan tribe has been settled in this Baiyan Mountain since its establishment. At the beginning, the Yanshan tribe was composed of hundreds of demon tribes born from the fire spirit veins in the Baiyan Mountain. After tens of millions of years of assimilation and integration and exclusion, only one demon tribe was left, which still occupied this volcano group. This demon tribe is the Red Flame Dragon Turtle clan, and is also one of the eight demon tribes in Xuanyuantian.
The ancestral bloodline of the Red Flame Dragon Turtle is the Panshan Dragon Turtle in the ancient prehistoric world. After some mixed blood, there are some bloodlines of the Fire Spirit Demon Clan, such as salamanders, fire qilins, etc. The biggest feature of the Panshan Dragon Turtle is that its physical strength is extremely powerful. Even the ancient Total Spirit Monkey, who was honored by power, dare not say that its own strength is stronger than that of the Panshan Dragon Turtle. Because the power of the Panshan Dragon Turtle seems to have no end, when its physical strength continues to increase, the physical body will continue to grow with its strength. The largest Panshan Dragon Turtle in the ancient prehistoric era is so large that it can even carry a complete world like the Kunlun Three Realms. Such a huge existence, even the innate gods of the Pangu family, the ancient dragon tribe is worried about it.
Although the bloodline of Panshan Dragon Turtle in the Red Flame Dragon Turtle is not complete, it also inherits some special forces of Panshan Dragon Turtle. For example, in terms of physical strength alone, it ranks first in the Immortal Palace. It is also because its physical strength is too strong, and it does not need to practice on its own like other demon clans. It only needs to be in the earth fire lava for many years to absorb the fire spirit energy and transform it into physical strength, so they have no interest in various demon clan methods. On the contrary, because of the existence of the ancestral spirit, the Red Flame Dragon Turtle clan can constantly extract the bloodline of the natal bloodline from the ancestor spirit. The purer the bloodline of Panshan Dragon Turtle, the greater the power they have, which is also the main reason why they can stand in Xuanyuan Tian forever.
There are many powerful people in every generation of the Red Flame Dragon Turtle clan who stand at the top of the Immortal Palace, but because a large number of tribes die in every ancestral spirit sacrifice. In addition, the Red Blood Dragon Turtle clan's tribe does not reproduce vigorously. Even if it occupies a good geographical advantage and has a large amount of resources, it is difficult to expand its power outside. It can only protect itself and protect this Baiyan Mountain one acre and three-point land.
The Yanshan tribe's ancestral spirit festival is about to be held again in the last century. All the members of the Yanshan tribe gathered at the foot of the largest volcano mountain in Baiyan Mountain. However, compared with the previous ancestor spirit festival, the members of the Yanshan tribe seem to be not very enthusiastic this time. The people who participated in the position of the clan leader were the least of all the high sacrifices. Only twenty-three tribe members participated, and these twenty-three tribes are all tribes who have been walking outside the world all year round, and none of the strong people in the clan who really practiced within the clan came into being. The reason why such an abnormal situation occurred is entirely because of one person, the current leader of the Yanshan tribe, Gu Hanxu, the great sage of the mountain.
Gu Hanxu is a legendary figure in the Immortal Palace. When he was just starting his wisdom when he was young, he was given as a gift by the elders of the clan to the Master of the Yuxu Palace who visited the Immortal Palace and participated in the ceremony of the Ascension of the Immortal Palace. For five hundred years, he has been serving as the base of the stone tablet of the mountain gate in the Yuxu Palace, carrying the stone tablet to guard the mountain gate. His name was also the one from the head of the Yuxu Palace.
The mountain gate stone tablet in Yuxu Palace itself is a treasure of heaven and earth. It was originally used to suppress the spiritual energy of the mountain gate earth veins. However, later, when a more suitable spiritual treasure was found to suppress the spiritual veins, the treasure was placed in front of the mountain to serve as a mountain gate stone tablet. This treasure is extremely heavy and has no limit on its weight. No matter how strong the object suppressed has, the weight of the stone tablet will be increased accordingly, and it can always be higher than the suppressed object.
Originally, Gu Hanxu was sent here as a dragon turtle carrying a stele, which was like torture, but he was able to make fun of his suffering, constantly borrowing the stone tablet on his mountain gate to temper his body, and secretly secretly learning the Jade Qing Immortal Art of Yuxu Palace, which eventually made his physical strength break to a limit, and he also accidentally refined the stone tablet on his body into a treasure of his natal life.
Although Gu Hanxu could escape at any time, he did not do so. Instead, he continued to lurk. Knowing that the former leader of the Yuxu Palace was destroyed, the new leader had not yet been selected. He broke through the mountain gate of the Yuxu Palace, broke into the inner hall of the Yuxu Palace, killed many disciples of the Yuxu Palace, and snatched a large number of treasures. After that, he also wanted to break into the Sutra Pavilion of the Yuxu Palace and snatched away the supreme Taoist classics stored in it. Unfortunately, Chen Guangting, the current leader of the Yuxu Palace, rushed to the scene and was injured by him. He had to give up his plan and escape from the Yuxu Palace. Under the pursuit of Yuxu Palace and his Taoist sects, he fled back to the Immortal Palace.
At this time, the relationship between the Immortal Palace and the Yuxu Palace was not as friendly as hundreds of years ago. Because of the rise of the demon clan of the Immortal Palace and the change of the rights of the Yuxu Palace, the relationship between the two was extremely cold and even somewhat hostile. If Gu Hanxu had escaped back to the Immortal Palace in the early years, he would have been sent back to the Yuxu Palace on the pretext of being the overall situation. However, the current situation made him immediately sheltered after he arrived at the Immortal Palace. This was not only because of the fuel caused by the Immortal Palace hardliners, but also because of his own strength, and the bribery of the treasures he stole from the Yuxu Palace, he quickly returned to the Yanshan tribe that he abandoned him back then.
Gu Hanxu was able to lurk in Yuxu Palace for many years, so that countless powerful people in Yuxu Palace who entered and exited the mountain gate could not see their true thoughts, and their scheming was naturally extraordinary. Therefore, after returning to Yanshan tribe, he did not immediately take revenge on the tribe members who betrayed him as others thought. Instead, he did not hand over the last few snatched spiritual treasures to the clan, but also refused the appointment of the elders in the clan to give him the important position, and voluntarily served as the spirit master in the clan, opening up the spiritual intelligence for young tribes who had not yet been enlightened.
In the ancient immortal palace tribes such as the Yanshan tribe, the position of Qiling Master is definitely a thankless hard work. It is different from the demon family who use magic tricks to point Huiqiling for young people in the clan. The ancient immortal palace tribe needs to use the ancestor spirit to ignite the spirit for young people. However, the spiritual consciousness of these tribes is extremely weak and the ancestor spirit is too powerful. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed and assimilated by the ancestor spirit. Therefore, Qiling Master must be arranged to sacrifice the ancestor spirit with his natal essence and blood to calm the excess ancestral spirit power. In the Yanshan tribe, most of the people who serve as Qiling Master are sinners who violate the clan rules. There have been almost no people like Gu Hanxu who actively ask to be Qiling Master. So after this incident spread, many people were extremely surprised by this, thinking that Gu Hanxu had been tortured in Yuxu Palace for so many years.
