Chapter Thirty-Seven

  The Tenth Young Master, Junzi Sword, asked incessantly along the way, but more than half of his questions were dodged by Bo Fu with a laugh. However, when Bo Fu turned around and asked him about collecting merits everywhere, Junzi Sword replied: "Won't work, didn't you read the Honghuang scriptures? Merits are the foundation of achieving the Dao! Besides, there are so many merits that can be easily obtained, why not seize the opportunity to grab them desperately? It's just a matter of being low-key."

  Bo Fu smiled and said directly to Junzi Sword, "You want the merits and virtues, go get them yourself, I'm not interested. By the way, do you still want to go back?"

  The gentleman's sword was stunned, his face was colorful, struggling, bewildered, nostalgic, longing, painful and finally still resolute. "I'm not going back... ... Going back is useless. It's great here. I won't go back!!!"

  Bo Fu looked at Junzi Sword and sighed, then dropped the subject. Not long after, Junzi Sword asked Bo Fu again about his cultivation achievements since arriving in this world, "How long have you been in this world? What kind of rebirth is it? What kind of cultivation method are you practicing? Why do you also have five-colored light? Can you also brush people?"

  "Haha, I arrived much earlier than you, kid. This old man of the world is about the same era as me. Reincarnation? I don't even know what kind of creature I am myself. As for cultivation, you're not wrong - it's the Five-Colored Divine Light."

  "Ah, you're still there deceiving people saying Kong Xuan isn't your kind?! It's clearly the Five-Colored Divine Light!!! Alright, I'll tell everyone!!!"

  "Go! Don't spout nonsense, it really doesn't matter. It's just that back then I happened to see Kong Xuan who was still an egg and casually sent the cultivation method of the Five-Colored Divine Light into him."

  It wasn't easy to send off the chattering and boastful Shi Taizi, but he had finally managed to get rid of him. He had also made a contract with Shi Taizi's split body to assist him in battle after he left for other worlds. With that settled, Bai Fu could finally calm down and reflect on his past experiences and insights gained from cultivating time and space. He wanted to try to merge the small world of the Five-Colored Stone with the large world of the cave he was currently residing in. This wouldn't be a difficult task for other powerful beings in the Hongyuan universe, but for Bai Fu, who would eventually leave this world, it was an extremely challenging task. However, with Hong Jun's tacit approval, Bai Fu forcibly used his massive demonic powers to pull the small island he was currently living on, along with its spiritual veins, into the world of the Five-Colored Stone, merging its spiritual veins with those of the stone. He then released it back to its original location, and from that point on, even if he left this world, he could take his current cave with him wherever he went, as long as he paid the price of using the power of the Five-Colored Stone.

  In the midst of busy times, the tenth prince again gained a lot of merit from the Honghuang human tribe. In the demon clan, Fuxi was already deceived by the first old slippery head of the Honghuang to become the tribal chief of the human tribe, and also created a fire-drilling method, known as Sui Ren Shi, and used the River Chart and Luo Book to transform the Pre-Heavenly Eight Trigrams. With this merit, he went to the Huoyun Cave to purify his mind and became one with nothingness. From then on, the demon clan lost another precious treasure, while the human tribe gained a new one.

  Bo Xiang learned of this matter, and could only laugh it off, then went to catch a few more people to eat a hearty meal - thanks to his past "observation" that the human race was not like other humans, with only six pairs of chromosomes. In other words, Bo Xiang had no psychological pressure when eating the "human race" in this desolate world. It seemed that Hong Jun also didn't care what the "human race" should look like, even if it had three heads and six arms, as long as a name appeared, it was fine.

  At this time, most of the Wu tribe had already assimilated into the human tribe, and a small number of Wu tribes went to the land of Tu. The powerful demons all retreated to Beijuzhou, and the human tribe occupied the two continents of Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanqianbuzhou. The western continent of Xiniuhezhou has been barren since ancient times, with few people living there, and only a few small and medium-sized demons scattered about. Baifu's cave mansion had already taken shape, and he roamed freely across the four continents, fighting and devouring as he pleased. Generally, demonic gods who reached his level of cultivation would act and fight in human form, rarely revealing their true bodies, and most considered it a shame to reveal their original form unless they were desperate. Only Baifu was an exception, not caring about using human form or revealing his true body to fly freely in all directions. In just a few hundred years, his name had resounded throughout the three realms, and the only demonic name that was even more renowned was that of the "Gongde Baoqi" - the tenth prince, Junzi Sword.

  At this time, the human race was flourishing, and the first generation of emperors was about to appear. The two religions had already begun their open and secret struggles for a single emperor's position. In the end, it was Laozi who made the final decision, making Yun Zhongzi the first one. Bo Yu had no interest at all, just coldly observing as the tenth prince accumulated merit and enjoyed himself, occasionally grabbing a human to eat. It turned out that Bo Yu also thought that humans were not delicious, and if it weren't for their ability to greatly replenish his energy, he wouldn't have bothered eating them.

  He occasionally visits Sanxian Island and the Nuwa Palace, but each time he ends up fleeing in disarray. As a result, he can only wander around on land, never fulfilling his duties for even a day. The so-called leader of the Southern Demon Clan is just an empty title, with all actual matters being handled by Zhuque. He also often retreats to cultivate, but at this point, his cultivation has already reached an extremely high level, and what he calls "cultivation" is merely a way to pass the time, immersing himself in the primordial world created by the Huimeng Jue while waiting for opportunities.

  Here is the translation:

  Just as the Ten Princes' prestige was waning, he had also taken out the Golden Basin and Treasure Bowl to show off on a previous occasion. And then there was Kong Xuan who finally achieved enlightenment and became a powerful being, indeed a handsome man of his generation... He spent all day with the Ten Princes, causing Bo Fu to suspect that these two were having an affair. As time passed, the Three Sovereigns returned to their positions, and Huang Di, one of the Five Emperors, also took office. The Nine Li tribe from the south, led by Chi You, rebelled against the Yellow Emperor, marking the beginning of a great war. At that time, the center of human habitation was in Dongsheng Shenzhou, where the battle would take place. Although Chi You was a member of the human tribe, he possessed the bloodline of the Wu tribe and had cultivated himself into a powerful sorcerer after the Great War between humans and demons. With the help of several powerful sorcerers who had been in hiding for many years, including Feng Bo, Yu Shi, Xing Tian, and Xiang Liu, they defeated the Yellow Emperor's army time and again. At that time, the Ten Princes enjoyed great prestige among humans and were assisting the Yellow Emperor in battle. Many demon kings followed him, and several high-ranking Taoist priests also lent their support. However, the power of sorcery was not to be underestimated, and the Taoist priests had not yet reached the level of cultivation they would achieve during the time of the Investiture of the Gods. Most of the powerful demons were still recovering from their wounds in Beijuzhou. Relying solely on the Ten Princes was insufficient to withstand the multiple sorcerers' attacks on the Yellow Emperor's army. The Yellow Emperor was extremely worried and repeatedly petitioned Heaven to send someone to assist in the war, but at that time, Heaven had not yet been established for long, and many powerful beings had fallen during the Great War between humans and demons. As a result, they could only dispatch the Nine Heavens' Xuannü and several high-ranking generals as a token of their intentions.
