TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 990: Chapter 410 The Time Has Come Chapter 990: Chapter 410 The Time Has Come The grasslands in March are still cold and desolate.

Although the heavy snow had melted, the vitality of spring had yet to emerge, and the vast expanse of the prairie showed no hint of green.

It was still a scene of withering yellow, coupled with rivulets of melted snow.

Corpses lay haphazardly amidst the grass, the aftermath of the smoke of war burning down to embers, shattered weapons erected on the ground, marking the end of a recent battle.

The military banners emblazoned with the character “Wei” fluttered in the breeze.

Soldiers, just disengaged from combat, still had excitement etched on their faces, and then, under the direction of a military officer, began to tidy up the battlefield.

“These barbarians are getting fewer and fewer,”

said Great General Meng Chenglin, mounted on his horse.

He looked down at the corpses with braided hair on the ground and then at the even greater number of corpses of the distinctly different barbarians and Wei people intermingled among them, and he couldn’t help but sigh, “But those from the Western region foreign tribes seem to be increasing in number.”

The Western region foreign tribes are, just by name, not a group that belongs to the same ethnicity as the people of the Nine Provinces.

Indeed, that was the case.

The nomadic barbarians from the steppes, the people from the Snowy Wilderness, the Southwest Barbarians—these groups on the fringes of the Nine Provinces, although they had entirely different cultures and customs from the descendants of the Three Emperors of the Nine Provinces, still bore a resemblance that marked them as part of the same species.

Thus, the people of the Nine Provinces still considered them human.

However, those from the Western Regions were different: with deep-set eyes, prominent noses, varied hair colors, dense body hair, rough skin and emitting a strong exotic odor.

Those with appearances so starkly different from the people of the Nine Provinces, they were seen purely as foreigners, not even regarded as human.

Upon closer examination, those of the Western Region foreign tribes did indeed possess a lineage distinct from the Human Race of the Nine Provinces.

According to the records of All Immortal Sects, the bloodline of the tribes from the Western Regions was indeed impure.

In ancient times, when Spiritual Energy was abundant and the world was inhabited by various Demon Types, some of these creatures were expelled by the Immortals of the Nine Provinces and relegated to the Western Regions.

These Demon Types, through Cultivation, could take on human forms, and they gradually intermarried with some of the Human Race in the Western Regions, eventually resulting in a mixed lineage of human and monster.

And this bloodline, after tens of thousands of years of propagation and in the context of declining Spiritual Energy, also slowly degenerated.

The monster lineage receded, while the human lineage became more prevalent.

Aside from retaining some monstrous features, they became not much different from human beings.

From their appearance, they looked just like people.

However, despite the small difference, the people from the Nine Provinces, along with the legends surrounding the Demon People of the Western Regions, were more inclined to reject these Western Region people with demon bloodlines, labelling them as a foreign race.

This rejection went so far as to not even consider them human, which shows the extent of the Nine Provinces’ disdain.

And the foreign tribes of the Western Regions were also aware that they were unwelcome in the Nine Provinces.

So for tens of thousands of years, they kept to their own territories, rarely interacting with the Human Race from the Nine Provinces.

Both sides formed their own circles, big and small.

Everyone went about their own business and they mostly left each other alone, with the exception of occasional trade.

But this tradition, after tens of thousands of years, was ultimately shattered by the recent calamitous changes in the heavens of the Nine Provinces.

The terrible earthquakes in the Western Regions, when they occurred, took the lives of countless people from the foreign tribes.

And now, these earthquakes have spread even further, ripping almost the entire Western Regions apart.

The inhabitants of the Western Regions, in a bid for survival, had no choice but to migrate to safer locations.

That would be Yong State, which is relatively stable at the moment.

Unlike the nomadic barbarians to the north who live in tribal communities,

the foreign tribes of the Western Regions possessed substantial farmland and had long since established their countries with their own systems.

Therefore, although there were a few tribes among the migrating Western Region foreign tribes, the majority moved as entire nations.

In terms of organizational structure, systems in place, or even population size, they proved to be much stronger than the nomadic tribes of the plains.

Just like now.

Even though there are still several million nomadic barbarians remaining, a number that is hardly insignificant,

on the Nomad’s customary plains, what the Wei Army saw and encountered were predominantly from the Western Region foreign tribes.

These nomadic barbarians, in the face of the vast migratory wave of the Western Region foreign tribes, were hardly able to resist and were quickly absorbed.

“The active Western Region foreign tribes in the southern plains are said to come from Huotuluo Country, a major nation in the Western Regions, with a population of tens of millions and considerable strength.

Ever since they arrived on these plains, they have constantly encroached upon and assimilated those barbarians.

Now, in just over a decade, the two to three million barbarians of the southern plains have been completely absorbed by Huotuluo Country, and these barbarians have become their slaves.

This Great War included many of their barbarian auxiliary armies,”

said a Wei Guo General, accompanying Meng Chenglin, with concern.

This time, when Wei Country ventured beyond its borders, invading deep into the prairie’s heartland, it did achieve numerous victories.

Yet beneath the triumph, the Wei Army’s victories were not so effortless.

As the Great General mentioned, Huotuluo Country was no small nation but one with a population in the tens of millions, comparable in stature to the hegemonies of the Nine Provinces.

After entering the southern plains, it further included nearly three million barbarians, swelling its population foundations and becoming even more challenging to deal with.

This time, the Wei Army mobilized a million soldiers, which appeared to be a majestic force.

But Huotuluo Country was not far behind.

In the face of Wei’s invasion, they, too, mustered a million soldiers, fighting valiantly.

Both parties had the heritage of hegemonies, and even if Wei Country was slightly more powerful and its soldiers better trained compared to Huotuluo Country,
