Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a Taoist named Qingyangzi in the world.
He firmly believes that the origin of animals is older than the origin of humans.
He believes that humans actually just evolved from certain animals.
Apart from differences in thinking and intelligence, humans are just advanced animals.
After entering the era of cultivation at the beginning of the era, the human race had warriors, and the beast race also had monster beasts.
The biggest difference between warriors and monster beasts is that the cultivation speed of humans is much faster than that of monster beasts, almost twice as much.
The advantage of the monster clan is that they are naturally physically powerful, and it is difficult for warriors of the same realm to break through their defenses. This also leads to the fact that warriors of the same realm are almost no match for the monster beasts.
But precisely because their bodies are so powerful, each advancement requires too much blood, causing their cultivation speed to be very slow.
Monsters often kill each other because eating the flesh and blood of the same kind can increase their health.
……………
Qingyangzi has been thinking about a way to merge the bloodlines of humans and monsters.
This allows human beings to maintain their original cultivation speed while possessing the powerful physique of monsters and beasts.
As the first monster to carry the destiny of the Orcs, the Tyrant Emperor has had as profound an impact on the Orcs as Emperor Zhenwu has on the human race.
Before the Tyrant Emperor ascended to the throne, he passed on the Great Emperor Kung Fu "Strength Jue" he practiced to many monster beasts, hoping that more geniuses would emerge among the beast clan.
Several eras later, a python transformed into a true dragon and carried the destiny of that era.
Because the enlightenment technique it used before embarking on the path of cultivation was Bao Di's "Strength Jue", in order to commemorate Bao Di and his selfless spirit, the real dragon named himself "Li Di."
In the time of Emperor Li, Qingyangzi found it and told Emperor Li of his idea, hoping to create a perfect species.
Li Di also readily agreed, and after hundreds of years of hard work by the two of them, a brand new species was born, the "Orcs."
The experiment of the two people can be said to be a success, or it can be said to be a failure.
Although the cultivation speed of half-orcs is not as fast as that of warriors, their physical strength is stronger than that of warriors.
At the same time, although half-orcs cannot match the physical strength of monster beasts, their cultivation speed is far superior to monster beasts.
To put it simply, half-orcs combine the advantages of warriors and monsters, as well as the disadvantages of both.
But the appearance of this species is tragic in itself. They have common characteristics between humans and monsters, so they are not accepted by both races.
What's even more frightening is that because the blood in the orcs is not pure, to put it simply, their blood will conflict.
The final result is that when the conflict reaches a certain point and is irreversible, the blood vessels throughout the body will become necrotic and eventually die.
Li Di regarded this as his own fault, and worked hard to find a way to rescue the orcs.
Finally found the Jingyue Shrine.
These half-orcs only need to change their blood every three months. Under the purification power of the Jingyue Shrine, their life span can be greatly increased.
But people often say that poor people must be hateful.
The half-orcs of that era relied on the Emperor Li's guilt for them and could be said to be tyrannical and almost looked down upon both the human race and the orc race.
Later, after the Emperor Li ascended, the orcs were immediately punished.
It can be said that the orcs of that era were beaten by everyone, almost to the point of annihilation.
Only occasionally a few orcs hid and survived. After countless generations of accumulation, the group of orcs expanded again.
These half-orcs established a sect around the Jingyue Shrine and named it the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Because too much time has passed, people's misunderstandings and dissatisfaction with orcs have gradually been put aside.
………………
Xu Zimo and Ren Pingsheng returned to the Zhenwu Holy Sect after traveling all the way. The sect has been particularly lively recently.
Many disciples are discussing the Seven Sects Competition and the geniuses of each sect.
The Seven Sects Competition is the most lively and grandest competition in the Far West.
It is held every three years, and there is only one requirement for participating disciples, which is that they must not be over thirty years old.
Each sect can only have a maximum of ten disciples participating in the competition.
It is said that after the seven major sects stabilized the situation in the Far West, they agreed to hold a competition every three years. In fact, it was a long time ago.
This year it happens to be the turn of the Zhenwu Holy Sect to host this competition.
The invitations had been sent to the other six major sects half a month ago.
At this time, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Zhenwu Holy Sect was somewhat quiet.
The third elder spoke up and said: "Sect Master, the people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect have sent word that they will close the mountain gate during this period and will no longer participate in anything.
I guess I won’t be able to come to the Seven Sects Competition this time.”
"What's going on?" Xu Qingshan frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't everyone agree when I sent the invitation some time ago?"
"We are still investigating. Maybe something happened during this period," the third elder replied: "Although there is no definite evidence, I guess it has something to do with the blood in their bodies."
"You are the person in charge of this competition. I don't want any accidents to happen," Xu Qingshan said calmly: "Since they won't come, let's inform the entire Far West and change it to a six-sect competition."
"Then how do we select the disciples who will participate in the competition this time?" The third elder asked: "The core disciples are basically over thirty years old and cannot participate.
If you all have no objections, I will select disciples from the inner sect based on the rankings on the Qianlong Ranking."
"Hui'er is not over thirty years old. It's just because he usually doesn't bother to compete for the list, so he didn't enter the Hidden Dragon List." The fifth elder on the side said: "His strength is definitely qualified to participate in this competition. Three
Elders can think about it."
After the fifth elder finished speaking, the sixth elder Xiao Ruoxuan on the side also followed up and said: "Although Xiao'er has not entered the Hidden Dragon List, she has fully inherited the empress' inheritance. She will definitely have a place in this competition."
"How do you ask me to choose from people like you?" The third elder looked at Xu Qingshan with some confusion and said: "Sect Master, how about we hold an internal competition within the sect, and then the disciples with higher rankings will participate on behalf of the sect?
This is a big competition.”
"Don't go to such trouble. I know the strength of Xia Hui and Baili Xiao, so just put them on the list. The other disciples will be selected according to the rankings on the Qianlong Ranking." Xu Qingshan said: "If you release the news, then
He said that in three days we will select the disciples for this competition based on the rankings on the Qianlong Ranking.
Let those disciples who usually hide their strength work hard to reach the rankings."
