The First Emperor of Ancient Times

Chapter 178 The Golden Age Arrives
"Targeting the Tianjiao? Won't the Jinwu clan, the Kunlun descendants, and the demon clan suffer great losses?" Lin Bai laughed.

In fact, this is true. A genius born soon after in the human race was called Jiang Ziya.

This pure human genius came out of Hangu Pass carrying the divine whip and entered the ancient starry road.

All the obstructions along the way were defeated and destroyed by this great man of military strategy, who was later honored as the ancestor of military strategists.

After one man and one whip fought from the earth to the Ninth Emperor's Pass, he killed his way through the entire ancient demon road and silenced all those who were clamoring to target him.

Jiang Ziya's life is very legendary. After Lin Bai's exploration, he found that he lived to the age of eighty in the mortal world, picked up a scripture, and then melted the sea of suffering and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

It took him only two hundred and twenty years from the time he embarked on the path of spiritual practice at the age of eighty to the time he became a saint.

It's shocking.

The next human prodigies to step onto Earth after Jiang Ziya were Lao Tzu and Sakyamuni.

After the two walked out of the earth, they directly defeated all the geniuses of various races who targeted them.

An interesting thing happened in the meantime. Laozi took in a mount which was a green bull. Then the bull demon lineage merged with the powerful bull demon clan in the universe. Laozi expelled himself from the demon clan and devoted himself to being the mount of Laozi, the Lord of Morality.

In their words, you don't understand the wonderful life of a mount.

The origin of Sakyamuni in this life is still the same as in the original work, that is, he is the reincarnation of the spirit of Amitabha Buddha.

In order to become an immortal, Amitabha Buddha split his primordial spirit, and in the end many of them were not recovered. Sakyamuni's was the largest one.

Shakyamuni embarked on his own Buddhist path, moving forward and upward.

The appearance of these three people gave rise to a bad premonition in the hearts of all beings in the universe. They always felt that the earth was about to explode and a group of peerless geniuses would emerge.

However, some people comfort themselves by saying that Jiang Ziya is a special case, Laozi is the immortal corpse of the Lord of Dao and Virtue, and the origin of Sakyamuni is the primordial spirit of Amitabha Buddha.

Lin Bai laughed and said, "Let's wait and see."

Not long after, a group of pre-Qin Qigong practitioners represented by Zhuangzi stepped out of the planet. Each of them was a peerless genius, and Zhuangzi was even qualified to attain enlightenment.

Among the various schools of thought, some people set foot on the starry sky, while some people just practiced silently and directly entered the Cangwu Realm.

Lin Bai discovered something extremely strange. Although the earth was not sealed on a large scale in this life and entered the Dharma Ending Age as described in the original novel of The Great Ruler, the Spring and Autumn Period was still the age of mortals.

Even though a large number of geniuses in the cultivation world were born in this era.

Lao Tzu, Sakyamuni, and other philosophers who embarked on the path of spiritual practice simply lived a peaceful life in the mortal world.

The ancient immortal dynasty's power does not blend with the mortal world's power. Everyone lives their own life. It's just that some people in the mortal world will embark on the path of cultivation by chance.

This made Lin Bai sigh. He thought that there would be immortal Qin, shamans and the like on Earth in this life.

With a hint of evil taste, Lin Bai passed on the cultivation method to some mortals, such as Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Bai Qi and others.

However, these famous figures in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after obtaining the cultivation methods and embarking on the path of cultivation, some of them cultivated extremely slowly and were of ordinary aptitude, while some cultivated very quickly and were peerless geniuses.

But no matter which one, after they obtained the practice method, they would complete their ideals in the mortal world before concentrating on finding a mountain to practice in depth.

Lin Bai asked Bai Qi, who had faked his death, escaped from the mortal world, and gone to a remote mountain forest to cultivate, "Why don't you lead the entire Great Qin in cultivation? Create an Immortal Qin Dynasty that would rule over all the worlds?"

Bai Qi looked at Lin Bai as if he were crazy and said directly, "When I was young, I saw a cultivator taking away a friend from my neighborhood."

Lin Bai burst out laughing. He admired the history of this land too much.

In essence, while there were many exceptional individuals who embarked on the path of cultivation throughout the five thousand years of history, such as the Qigong practitioners of the pre-Qin period and later figures like Ge Hong, this doesn't necessarily mean that all of these individuals were truly exceptional. Two hundred years later, Bai Qi, cultivating alone, had turned into a pile of dry bones; his cultivation had failed.

Lin Bai also met the Qin Emperor and Emperor Wu of Han. They were just outstanding among mortals. Even if they left enough reputation among mortals, they were still just mortals and could not embark on the path of cultivation.

However, Zhang Liang embarked on the path of cultivation after assisting Liu Bang in successfully cultivating immortality, and is now famous throughout the starry sky.

Lin Bai witnessed the establishment of Longhu Mountain and how it quickly became a major spiritual force on Earth.

Even though the immortal Qin and the shaman that Lin Bai hoped for did not appear, the people in the Zhantian Universe, including the Cangwu Realm, were stunned by the cultivators who appeared on Earth in the past two or three hundred years.

From a mortal's perspective, the time gap between Jiang Ziya and Zhang Daoling is too large.

But in the eyes of practitioners, Jiang Ziya a thousand years ago, Laozi and Sakyamuni hundreds of years ago had just achieved the supreme position in the Cangwu Realm, and another person named Zhang Daoling who had the qualifications to achieve enlightenment appeared on Earth.

This is so scary.

It’s only been a thousand years, not even enough for a cultivator in the second level of the Immortal Realm to live out half of his life.

"Perhaps the ancient star of Honghuang, the mortal kingdom called China, will give us even greater surprises in the future."

When Lin Bai's words spread, more people turned their eyes to the Earth and this young land, including the Immortal Kings of the Cangwu Realm.

Then, in just a few thousand years, which was the time it took for many supreme beings in the Cangwu Realm to go into seclusion, they saw several people who had the qualifications to attain enlightenment come out.

Among them, the most famous one is Ge Hong, who achieved a different kind of enlightenment in the original novel of "Zhan Tian".

Others include Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Dongbin, Li Bai and a group of others.

It has never happened in the history of cultivation that in just a few thousand years, several geniuses with the potential to become emperors were born in a place like this.

Some people began to deduce the earth and explore the reasons, and finally found that the people on this land were all "nobles".

In other words, everyone should be like a dragon.

Every surname that explores further will eventually return to those few surnames.

The founders of those few surnames are Huangdi, Yandi, Chiyou, etc.

Although the imperial blood is thinner, everyone does possess it, and no one is nobler than anyone else.

In the blink of an eye, this young land was five thousand years old. In order to possess the power of immortals, some mortals who had no chance to practice began to study technology, and muskets and cannons appeared.

Before long, tall buildings began to rise from the ground and strange technologies appeared.

On this day, a boy named Ye Fan was born in an ordinary family.

It was also on this day that Lin Bai saw nine dragons pulling a coffin from the universe towards the earth.

"It's really strange." Lin Bai looked at the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin traveling in the starry sky and smiled.

At the same time, the entire Zhatian Universe suddenly entered an era of explosive growth of geniuses.

On the ancient starry road, on each planet, one physique after another that only existed in legends appeared.

“It’s a golden age.” In the Cangwu Realm, at the Peach Banquet held by King Pan, the Ancient Qilin Emperor who had transformed into a mortal immortal said with emotion.

"Back then, we pinned our hopes of becoming immortals on this life. Who would have thought that by the time this life arrived, we would already be immortals, and even progressing towards an even higher realm."
