Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 13: Intending to Return to the Three Immortal Islands to Explain Zhong Hui's Suppression of the Dragon Mountain's Fortune

"Yes, Master. We will devote ourselves to cultivation in the future, observe the great principles of the world, and comprehend the rules of the heavens." Guang Chengzi, dressed in a Daoist robe, showed no emotion because a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect had gained merit. He remained calm and composed.

Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. There may be a sequence in learning the Dao, but ultimately, great strength is not determined by a single event, but by a combination of accumulated knowledge and methods!

As the chief disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, who valued lineage the most, and also the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, his character and aptitude were absolutely second to none...

"Good. There are countless paths to cultivation in the world. You should all diligently study and comprehend them. There are three thousand paths, and you can achieve enlightenment through any of them." After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun disappeared from Yuxu Palace.

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable was completely indifferent to the fact that the members of the Jie Sect had obtained Heavenly Merit, and had no particular interest in it.

There's plenty of time to come; it's just a matter of accumulating merit in the heavenly realm. As a sage, he naturally understands all things and possesses the perspective and vision befitting a sage!

When the second and third generation disciples of the Jie Sect on Jin'ao Island heard that Su Shao Chen had obtained the Heavenly Dao Merit and that the sound of the Dao resounded throughout the prehistoric world, they all stood up and looked at that mass of Heavenly Dao Merit.

Jin Ling, who was listening to her master's explanation, suddenly stood up and looked up at the sky above the prehistoric world.

"Junior Sister Yunxiao has taken on a fine disciple," Duobao said with some emotion.

At the same time, Tongtian's voice rang in the ears of all the disciples of the Jie Sect: "You should learn from Su Shaochen, be good at seeking the way of all things, and it is not advisable to work behind closed doors."

When Bixiao, who was playing with Yuanyuan on the Three Immortals Island, heard about her disciple's achievements, she was also very happy for her and couldn't wait to bring her over...

In the Heavenly Court, Haotian, who ruled over the primordial world, naturally heard Su Shao Chen's voice. However, what interested him was the literary aura emanating from Su Shao Chen, as well as the faint connection to the divine position of the Heavenly Court's Wenqu Star...

"An interesting little fellow..."

Heaven, moved by this, bestowed merit, a portion of which fell upon the Literary Dao Brush, the "Complete Collection of Seal Script," the "Travels of the Human Race," the Discipline Ruler, and more than a dozen other literary tools. This transformed ordinary literary tools into spiritual treasures of merit. The Literary Dao Brush, in particular, after being reforged by Su Shao Chen and further enhanced by the merit bestowed by Heaven, has now transformed into a post-heavenly inferior spiritual treasure of merit, possessing twelve ultimate restrictions!

Some of the merit actually fell on that ginkgo tree with a mid-grade innate spiritual root, and a small part fell on the apricot altar where he often lectured under the ginkgo tree.

Half of the merits fell on Su Shao Chen. As everyone knows, merits are a panacea in the primordial world, not only increasing cultivation but also having various enhancement functions.

After half of the merit fell into Su Shao Chen's body, a mysterious aura permeated his body, allowing him to comprehend the Dao of Literature. His own realm and cultivation as a Xuanxian cultivator made rapid progress.

He possessed the aura of a beginner-level Profound Immortal, and in an extremely short time, he broke through to the intermediate-level Profound Immortal... and then to the advanced-level Profound Immortal!

His cultivation level was even increasing, but Su Shao Chen suppressed it and turned it into his own accumulation.

This time, the merits he gained from the Heavenly Dao gave him a deeper understanding of the Dao of Literature. Su Shao Chen could vaguely sense that he was not far from becoming the God of Literature!

The common people and high-ranking officials of the Shang Kingdom naturally heard Su Shao Chen's voice, and they all bowed in the direction of Longshan. Many more people came to the foot of Longshan to kowtow.

Su Shao Chen, who was in seclusion to meditate, also knew this, but he did not get up immediately, but continued his seclusion.

Thirteen years later, Su Shao Chen finally opened his eyes. His aura as a high-level Xuanxian was incredibly strong, and his foundation had become increasingly solid. Now, he could break through to the peak of Xuanxian with just a thought.

Once Su Shao Chen was ready to return to the Three Immortal Islands, he began working on breaking through to the peak of the Profound Immortal realm, preparing to become a Golden Immortal!

Having spent decades in the land of humans, it's time to leave.

Moreover, the air in the human realm is filled with a constant aura of slaughter. A wisp of killing aura appears in the sky above the human realm, representing both endless slaughter and endless rebirth.

The Xia Dynasty's King Jie is becoming increasingly incompetent, causing immense suffering to the people of the Nine Provinces. In contrast, the Shang Kingdom enjoys peace and prosperity, its population is booming, and its strength is growing ever stronger. Its military might is also becoming the strongest among the Nine Provinces, making it arguably the most powerful vassal state.

Therefore, the Shang Kingdom was regarded by many humans as a new hope. King Tang of Shang was a man of great talent and ambition, with the ambition to conquer the universe. He was good at accepting all opinions, treated the people well, and had the potential to be a human emperor!

It was precisely because of this that the Xia Dynasty always regarded the Shang Dynasty as a thorn in its side, and the conflicts intensified, leading to the possibility of a resurgence of the power struggle in the Nine Provinces.

Behind the changes in the human dynasty are countless forces and countless powerful beings. During the great war, the cultivation level of a high-level Xuanxian would not be enough, and even a Golden Immortal would probably not be enough.

If he remained among the human race, he would only be used as cannon fodder; this was not merely a simple change of dynasty...

For example, the Shang Kingdom today is vaguely backed by the Phoenix Clan and other powerful forces, and the Xia Dynasty is backed by the Dragon Clan and some sage sects.

Thinking of this, Su Shaochen got up and tidied up Longshan. At the same time, he left the "Complete Collection of Seal Script" in Longshan to suppress the luck, and handed Longshan over to Zhong Hui to manage.

After finishing everything, Su Shao Chen called Zhong Hui over.

When they met Zhong Hui again several years later, Zhong Hui had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Returning to Emptiness realm.

In recent years, besides helping Tang govern the country, he has been studying the two words that Su Shaochen taught him.

He gleaned many insights into literature and Taoism from this experience, and his cultivation level vaguely reached the realm of returning to emptiness and merging with Tao.

"Zhong Hui greets Master!" Zhong Hui arrived at Longshan and respectfully greeted Su Shaochen as a disciple.

Su Shao Chen nodded as he looked at Zhong Hui's Nascent Soul and Void Return realm. "It seems you haven't been slacking off all these years. Now that the heavens are unleashing their killing intent and dragons and snakes are rising from the land, you must be cautious and cultivate diligently. I will also be returning to the Three Immortal Islands, and I will entrust Dragon Mountain to you. I hope that when we meet again, you will have already attained the Earth Immortal realm."

Upon hearing Su Shao Chen's words, Zhong Hui replied, "Yes, disciple will certainly live up to Master's high expectations, cultivate diligently, and manage Longshan well!"

"Good!" Su Shaochen nodded and handed the "Complete Collection of Seal Script," which was already a second-grade merit and spiritual treasure, to Zhong Hui.

Although the book "Complete Collection of Seal Script" does not have the twelve ultimate restrictions of a low-grade spiritual treasure like the Wen Dao Brush, it still has eight restrictions, which is enough to suppress the fortune of Dragon Mountain.

Then he took out a writing brush and a piece of paper with merit inscriptions, and wrote the character "文" (wen, meaning literature) on it and handed it to Zhong Hui.

The word "wen" (文) contains his understanding of the Way of Literature, which is enough for Zhong Hui to comprehend and become an immortal, and even reach the level of a celestial immortal.

It is also a defensive magic item. If Zhong Hui has the opportunity in the future, he can use this piece of paper with merit to make it a spiritual treasure.

"This is my understanding of the Way of Literature. I hope you will cultivate diligently in the future and attain the status of an Earth Immortal as soon as possible."

"If you have the opportunity in the future to use this merit paper as a basis, you may be able to refine a spiritual treasure."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Hui accepted the treasure with both hands and respectfully said, "Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, sir. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

The kindness his teacher showed him was something Zhong Hui could never repay in his lifetime. His teacher was like a second father to him, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must cultivate diligently in the future and spread his teacher's literary teachings throughout the human race...

After explaining everything to Zhong Hui, Su Shao Chen transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from Longshan, heading towards the East China Sea.
