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

The emergence of markets enabled the flow of goods among humankind.

It was as if a new driving force had been injected into the prosperous and thriving human race.

For thousands of years, Lieshan ruled the world, and the human race's productivity and prosperity reached unprecedented levels.

Countless humans revered the Lord of Lieshan as Shennong!

at the same time.

In the Yangwu tribe, a son was born, named Cangjie.

There was nothing unusual about Cangjie's birth. Like any other child, he could walk at one year old and speak at three.

When Cangjie was six years old, he worked in the fields with his parents, working from sunrise to sunset.

In his spare time, he would run to the fields to observe the footprints of birds and animals, and take a twig and squat on the ground to imitate drawing.

When Cangjie was eighteen years old, he climbed Yangxu Mountain alone and went down the Luo River to observe the trends of mountains, rivers and seas, and was deeply moved.

"The clan's method of using knotted ropes to record events is, after all, a bit troublesome."

"Passing down information orally inevitably leads to confusion and errors."

"If you can write it down, you won't have to worry about forgetting it."

Cangjie observed all things in the universe and memorized their forms, drawing characters that corresponded to all things in the universe...

Cangjie still had many questions in his mind, so he bid farewell to the tribal chief, packed his bags, and went to the ancestral land to pay homage to the First Emperor.

Cangjie wanted to create characters for the human race, but he needed the assistance of the First Emperor.

The ancestral land of humankind, a small thatched cottage.

Yunxiao lay on the rocking chair, basking in the sun, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at her husband's handsome face.

Li Yu sat quietly on the futon, his body radiating Taoist energy and blessed by the fortune of humanity. His cultivation and enlightenment progressed rapidly.

The five vital energies converge in the chest, the three flowers bloom on the top of the head, and the power of the laws emerges!

Li Yu has already reached the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

And just then...

Yang Jian led Cangjie to the outside of the thatched hut. "Teacher, Cangjie of the Yangwu tribe requests an audience with you."

Li Yu awoke from his meditative state. "Cangjie?"

The progenitor of humankind! Cangjie's achievement in creating characters ensured the unbroken lineage of humankind, a feat no less significant than that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

"Come in."

Cangjie followed the First Emperor's second direct disciple into the thatched hut courtyard, bowing respectfully and saying, "Cangjie greets the First Emperor, the sovereign."

"No need for such formalities."

"I already know your purpose in coming. You may stay in the ancestral land to cultivate. Creating characters will benefit the human race for hundreds of millions of generations. Do not be impatient. You must let things take their natural course and gradually summarize your experiences."

Cangjie's creation of characters was an act of seeking the secrets of heaven and earth, which was bound to be intolerable by the way of heaven.

Humanity has only just been restored to the throne by a single emperor, and its humanity is still in its infancy. It is still somewhat weak in its struggle against the will of Heaven.

It would be best to wait until the human race's strength has greatly increased before the human writing system is invented.

Cangjie nodded solemnly, "Yes! Thank you, First Emperor."

Cangjie then stayed in his ancestral land, where he studied, practiced immortal arts, drank tea, admired bamboo, and sought enlightenment every day.

When Fuxi heard that Cangjie wanted to create characters, he personally invited Cangjie to the Taoist temple to discuss the matter and drink tea together to comprehend the Tao.

……

Shennong of Lieshan ruled the world for thousands of years, and his merits were almost perfect.

But I always feel like something's missing.

This day!

Suddenly, a message came from a member of the tribe: "A tribe of people gathered some red mushrooms and ate them, and they all collapsed, foaming at the mouth."

Lieshan was shocked. "Poisoned?"

Lieshan rushed to the tribe immediately, but it was too late.

The tribespeople, their faces ashen and purple, had lost all signs of life.

Lieshan sighed deeply, "How can they eat anything?"

hum!

Lieshan's expression changed drastically. "There are countless plants in the world, which are poisonous? Which are beneficial?"

"If we can write them down one by one and pass them on to our clansmen, we will never have to worry about being poisoned again."

Lieshan immediately went to see Teacher Gongming.

The next day, Lieshan rode the black tiger out of the tribe and once again traveled through the primordial world.

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, personally experiencing their effects, and then took away specimens of the herbs he had tried.

Zhao Gongming secretly followed behind his disciple, shaking his head helplessly, "This is the tenth time he's been poisoned."

"This won't do. We need to find something to test the poison for my disciple."

Zhao Gongming thought of his junior brother Lü Yue, who usually liked to study poisons and thought he might have a solution.

Zhao Gongming borrowed the whip from his junior brother Lü Yue.

After a simple ritual, one can use a whip to strike the plant and obtain the same sensation, thus understanding its effects.

After obtaining the Chu Whip, Shennong of Lieshan became much more efficient and continued to taste hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of herbs, memorizing them all.

……

Bajing Palace, Shouyang Mountain.

Xuan Du sat on the futon, his face extremely irritated.

Having been expelled from the human race, they could no longer enjoy the human race's fortune as humans, and their cultivation speed slowed down considerably.

The human race's fortunes are at their zenith, yet Xuandu cannot enjoy even a fraction of it? His anger grows ever stronger!

Xuan Du gritted his teeth, "Why is Li Yu allowed to sit on the throne? When I, Xuan Du, was a disciple of a sage, he was still an ignorant and uncivilized ant!"

"I don't know what stroke of luck I had, but I became the son-in-law of the Jie Sect and embarked on the path of cultivation."

"What qualifications does he have to compare himself to me, Xuandu?"

"That damned Li Yu! How dare he expel my Xuandu! This feud must be settled with death!"

Taiqing Laozi sat quietly on a futon, his face calm and undisturbed.

In reality, he was trying his best to suppress the nameless anger in his heart.

The human race's abandonment of Xuandu ultimately made Taiqing Laozi feel the crisis.

If we dare to abolish Xuandu today, we'll dare to abolish the Human Sect tomorrow!

Not only would it severely damage the image of the Supreme Saint, but once the human race possessed the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it would also...

Taiqing Laozi would then find it increasingly difficult to control the human race!

Humanity's fortune may be at its zenith, but humanity can never truly become powerful!

Taiqing Laozi sat quietly on the futon, the sage's gaze piercing through the layers of void as he looked at the human tribe!

A girl, about 15 or 16 years old, plays in the tribe.

Her name was Nüwa, and she was the only daughter of Shennong Lieshan.

Xuandu then approached, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master! This disciple cannot swallow this insult! I am willing to return to the human race!"

Taiqing Laozi glanced at Xuandu, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Taiqing Laozi couldn't help but think that if he had taken Li Yu as his disciple back then, the situation today would not have been like this.

The fate of the human race has fallen entirely into the hands of the Human Religion.

With such excellent examples before us, it's hard not to make comparisons.

As the old saying goes, everyone can be Xuandu. Just call yourself Xuandu, it all depends on who the Sage of Taiqing accepts as his disciple!

"Step back! You are not to leave Shouyang Mountain even half a step." Taiqing Laozi spoke calmly.

Xuan Du looked terrified, hesitated, and said, "Disciple...disciple...will obey Master's orders."

Xuandu retreated unwillingly.

A wisp of Taiqing Daoist energy silently flew out of Shouyang Mountain and headed towards the human tribe.

hum!

The Taiqing Daoist aura suddenly transformed into Western Brahma light, manifesting an incarnation, half dressed in Daoist robes and half in monk's robes, "This humble Daoist is Zhunti Daoist."

The Taoist Zhunti approached the girl.

"What are you playing with, child?"

"Who are you?" The girl asked warily.

The voice of "Taoist Zhunti" seemed to have a bewitching power: "I know the Lord of Lieshan. Shall I take you to find him?"

The little girl hadn't seen her father in a long time and missed him terribly, so she instinctively said, "Okay..."

"No! Father is the supreme ruler and is very busy with state affairs. I cannot disturb him."

"Don't be afraid, the Lord of Lieshan misses you very much, and will only like you when he sees you." The seductive power of the voice increased.

The little girl's eyes gradually went blank and lifeless. She nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Uncle, then take me to find my father."

The Taoist Master Zhunti led the girl out of the human tribe.

Under the cover of the radiant light, the Supreme Purity Daoist Rhyme took a step forward, seemingly close yet worlds apart.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the East China Sea.

Taiqing's goal was simple: to prevent the human race from developing so peacefully.

The girl was the only daughter of the Lord of Lieshan. If she died in the East Sea...

Are you afraid that the human race won't retaliate against the East Sea Dragon Clan?

After the dragon race perished, they retreated to the four seas, but even a dying camel is bigger than a horse.

Only by igniting a war between humans and dragons can the Human Cult increase its influence and regain control over the human race!

Taiqing Daoyun pointed to the Great Sea Road, "The Lord of Lieshan is over there, go find your father."

In the girl's eyes, it wasn't the turbulent East China Sea, but the gates of the capital city, where her father stood waving.

The little girl skipped and hopped off to find her father, running towards the sea.

boom!

The waves crashed and surged, a single wave sweeping in, threatening to engulf the girl!

And just then...

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly appeared, shouting, "The West! They've got no shame!"

"The Great Earth Book Formation is activated!"
