I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The Shang dynasty lasted for generations, until it came to Emperor Yi.

Emperor Yi appointed Wen Zhong as Grand Tutor to govern the court, hoping to revive the Shang Dynasty.

The dynasty's decline was irreversible!

When the throne was passed to Emperor Yi, the calamity in the world reached a new climax.

When the great calamity begins, the Heavenly Way will retreat into seclusion, and the secrets of Heaven will not be revealed!

Humanity, too, has retreated into seclusion due to the influence of the calamity!

Both the Heavenly Way and the Human Way have retreated into seclusion, while the Heavenly Way possesses four sages and has made ample plans!

Naturally, I believe the advantage lies with me!

Little did they know, Li Yu thought: The advantage lies with me!

……

Chaoge, the capital of the human race.

Songjiazhuang.

The Jiang family and the Song family were old friends.

By the time of Jiang Ziya, the Jiang family had declined.

Jiang Ziya relied entirely on the help of his elder brother, Song Yiren, to make a living.

This day.

Jiang Ziya paid his respects to Song Yiren, saying, "Brother, I wish to visit a renowned master and seek immortality and the Dao."

Song Yiren nodded, "No problem, my brother has lofty ambitions, which I cannot match."

"But before you go to seek immortality, could you please get married first? That way you can continue the Jiang family line."

"After my elder brother died, I finally had the face to see Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Ziya looked troubled and shook his head, "Brother..."

Song Yiren quickly said, "Master Ma, I have a daughter who is sixteen years old and quite pretty. As the eldest brother, I will take you to propose marriage."

Jiang Ziya outwardly agreed, but that night he left a letter for his brother and departed from Songjiazhuang.

Jiang Ziya shouldered his pack, not knowing where the immortals were, and could only travel at a leisurely pace.

When they encounter a high mountain, they bow their heads; when they encounter a great river, they kowtow.

Then the money they had to spend dwindled.

Jiang Ziya was starving and could only fish by the river.

I fished for ages, but not a single fish took the bait.

In a fit of anger, Jiang Ziya threw down the bamboo pole and turned to leave.

A laugh suddenly rang out from afar, "Fellow Daoist, please wait."

"what?"

Jiang Ziya suddenly turned around and saw a giant tiger! A flying tiger!

No! It's not a tiger!

It's a leopard!

Jiang Ziya rubbed his eyes, and the leopard seemed to have wings, leaping across the river.

A wisp of smoke dissipated, revealing the shape of a person.

Leopard imitated the monk, bowing and greeting, "This humble Taoist, Shen Gongbao, greets fellow Daoist."

Jiang Ziya's heart pounded, fearing he would be eaten by the leopard demon. He quickly returned the greeting, "This humble Daoist is Jiang Shang, courtesy name Ziya, greetings to fellow Daoist."

Shen Gongbao sized up Jiang Ziya. "Fellow Daoist, have you never fished before? How can you fish like this without even bait?"

Jiang Ziya blushed. "I... I've never actually fished before."

When Jiang Ziya lived in Songjiazhuang, although he didn't live a life of luxury, he was still well-off and didn't have to worry about making a living.

Shen Gongbao shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, look at me."

Shen Gongbao leaped across the river with a light and agile movement, his hand transforming into a leopard claw, and gently flicked the surface.

Several delicious fish were caught and brought ashore.

Shen Gongbao licked his furry paws. "Fellow Daoist, what are you standing there for? Start a fire and cook!"

Jiang Ziya scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "I...I don't know how to start a fire..."

Shen Gongbao was taken aback. "Huh? Are you really human? You don't know how to make fire by rubbing sticks together?"

The ancestor of the human race, Suiren, was named so because he invented the method of drilling wood to make fire, which gave the human race fire to defend against wild beasts and the cold.

Shen Gongbao shook his head helplessly, raised his hand, and used his meager magical power to create a fire.

Before long, we enjoyed a delicious grilled fish.

"Fellow Daoist Ziya, where do you come from, and where are you going?"

Seeing that Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao had no intention of harming or eating him, Jiang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief. "I came from Chaoge, intending to visit the immortal mountain and seek the Dao of immortality."

"Fellow Daoist Gongbao, and you?"

Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "I come from the Three Mountains and Five Ridges. Coincidentally, I am also on my way to seek immortality and enlightenment."

"Have you heard of the Three Mountains and Five Ridges? There are clear lakes there, with shimmering blue waves and verdant green mountains..."

Jiang Ziya shook his head. "Fellow Daoist... are you a demon?"

Shen Gongbao shook his head. "I don't think so. The demon race has all disappeared. Who says that just because a living being takes human form, it has to be a demon?"

Shen Gongbao had no ill intentions, and since both of them wanted to seek immortality and enlightenment, they got along very well.

They quickly became acquainted.

Jiang Ziya sighed, "Only after leaving Chaoge did I realize how vast the world is and how insignificant I am."

"There are countless mountains, but I haven't encountered a single immortal, and I don't know where they've gone."

"Brother Gongbao, where do you want to go?"

Shen Gongbao said frankly, "I want to go to Jin'ao Island! My father told me that the Qing emperors on Jin'ao Island teach without discrimination and are willing to give all living beings a chance."

"Unfortunately, my magic power is too weak to cross the vast East China Sea, let alone reach Jin'ao Island."

Shen Gongbao added, "I also want to meet the legendary First Emperor of the Human Race."

It is said that the human race was very weak in the past, but under the leadership of the First Emperor, it prospered and grew strong!

Shen Gongbao also wanted to be like the First Emperor!

Humans and transvestites are irreconcilable enemies!

This refers to the irreconcilable conflict between the human race and the demon race of the Demon Court!

Later, sentient beings emerged in the primordial world, belonging to the broad category of "demons," but not to the demon court or demon race!

Long ago, Li Yu asked: "Who are my friends? Who are my enemies?"

The rise of humanity! A peaceful rise! Living in harmony with all living beings in the primordial world!

Humans hate the Demon Court!

Therefore, the beings that later took human form in the primordial era generally had a good relationship with humans.

Jiang Ziya was also intrigued, "I also want to meet the legendary First Emperor."

The First Emperor! He is the greatest and most admired figure in the hearts of all humankind!

As a human, Jiang Ziya was no exception!

"Hehe, let's go together then, we can look out for each other on the way."

"Okay, let's go together!"

Shen Gongbao helped Jiang Ziya carry his luggage, and the two traveled together towards the coast of the East Sea!

Jiang Ziya was too weak; he couldn't walk more than a hundred li a day.

Shen Gongbao simply revealed his true form, "Ziya, ride on my back."

"That won't do, that's too offensive."

"We're brothers, you're too kind of yourself."

"Let's go!"

The leopard darts through the mountains and forests, traveling thousands of miles a day with ease.

at the same time.

Above the sea of ​​clouds in the nine heavens.

Fuxi, hidden in the void, gazed intently at Jiang Shang and Shen Gongbao. "These two, are they the 'Criminal Sons' that the First Emperor spoke of?"

"A tiger with two wings is said to resemble a flying bear!"

Especially Shen Gongbao!

Before Fuxi arrived, Li Yu repeatedly instructed him that if he heard "Fellow Daoist, please stay," he must not turn around.

Fuxi was bewildered, not understanding the First Emperor's deeper meaning, but he knew that what the First Emperor said must be true!

Fuxi originally intended to lead the two to the ancestral land of the human race.

"Looks like we don't need to use that anymore."

Jiang Shang and Shen Gongbao headed towards the ancestral land of the human race!

Fuxi smiled calmly, "Still too slow!"

"I'll help you!"

"Shrinking the earth to an inch!"

Shen Gongbao was completely unaware of any changes in the outside world; he only felt that he was running very fast, and the mountains and rivers flashed by in an instant.

The speed of traveling a thousand miles a day has become traveling ten thousand miles a day.

Two and a half months later.

Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya traveled through mountains and rivers, enduring wind and rain, and finally arrived at the bamboo forest.

The fragrance of bamboo is refreshing and invigorating.

Inside were countless iron-eating beasts.

Shen Gongbao spotted a rather robust iron-eating beast and shouted, "Fellow Daoist! Please wait!"

Ah Bao, the chieftain of the Iron-Eating Beast Clan, was gnawing on spirit bamboo while searching for fresh bamboo shoots.

Hearing someone calling my name, I instinctively wanted to turn around, but then I remembered my teacher's instructions: I must not turn around!

Abao was startled and continued gnawing on the spirit bamboo.

Shen Gongbao stood there awkwardly, scratching his head...
