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

Chapter 136 Ji Chang attains enlightenment at Taiyi, accumulating merit in the human realm. The great struggle begins, king against king, an unstoppable force.

"Where is the Third Elder?" Di Yi asked softly.

"I am here!" An old man exuding the aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Feng Luo Dongbo's daughter is the Heavenly Empress, and her son is destined for marriage. They are destined for greatness, so I will trouble the Third Elder to make the trip."

"Alright!" Upon hearing this, the Third Elder disappeared from Chaoge and headed towards the Dongbo Marquis's residence.

"Guards, beat the drums and summon all civil and military officials!" Emperor Yi then ordered.

"yes!"

Then, drums sounded throughout Chaoge City. Nine drumbeats signaled all the civil and military officials of the Shang Dynasty to put on their official robes and head to the Emperor's Palace.

This time, so many things happened: the eldest son of the Shang Dynasty was born and gained the approval of the sacred artifact of humanity, the Hongming Blade.

There is a legend in Xiqi that the phoenix cried in Xiqi, and the Holy Lord Zhou was born. He was recognized by the sacred artifact of humanity, the Xuanyuan Sword, and was destined to be the Holy Lord...

The simultaneous occurrences of these events filled Emperor Yi and the elders of the Great Shang Dynasty with extreme solemnity. Each and every one of these events indicated that the great calamity of humanity was drawing ever closer!

Although the human realm appears peaceful on the surface, undercurrents are already churning beneath the surface, and countless ambitious officials are likely already preparing their escape routes...

The court assembly was convened, and Su Shao Chen, who was rarely seen on ordinary days, also appeared. Some veteran officials who had retired to the second line also entered the Emperor's Hall.

"The Nine Provinces of the human race are in turmoil, and thunder and lightning are about to rise. Our Shang Dynasty has stood tall among the human race for 100,000 years, and has been called the twenty-nine sovereigns. Now, a traitorous minister claims that a holy sovereign has been born. I want to see who this holy sovereign is and what he is capable of!" At this moment, Emperor Yi was wearing a crown and a robe of the human emperor. He was surrounded by endless imperial pressure, and the fate of the Shang Dynasty hung over his head, making him look like a supreme emperor.

"All generals, listen to my command!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Instantly, countless generals of the Shang Dynasty bowed in unison.

"In all the lands of our Great Shang, we must strengthen our military and establish an army; all things must be used to support our army!"

"Yes!" Countless generals replied solemnly, their bodies radiating boundless fighting spirit.

Subsequently, Emperor Yi issued a series of orders, which mobilized the Great Shang Dynasty, which had stood for 100,000 years in the Nine Provinces of the human race. Even the Great Shang Offering Group and the Great Shang Elder Group were mobilized.

Even some elders who were in seclusion couldn't care less about their seclusion at this moment. They appeared in the Great Shang Dynasty and throughout the Nine Provinces, setting up one scheme after another.

Emperor Yi himself went into seclusion to cultivate martial arts, while all political affairs were handled by the Martial Minister, Bigan, Weizi Qi, and others.

Ji Chang of Xiqi has already reached the peak of Martial Origin, while he is only at the initial stage of Martial Origin. The two are destined to fight in the future. As the emperor and the ruler of the human race, how can Di Yi lose to his subject!

We can win, we can die, but we must never lose, we must never be defeated!

Thus, turmoil erupted throughout the Nine Provinces of Humanity, with human warfare and bloodshed spreading across the land, drawing the attention of all powerful beings to the Nine Provinces of Humanity.

Three thousand years later, there were frequent frictions on the border between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi, and Xiqi's probing became increasingly intense.

However, both Ji Chang of Xiqi and Emperor Yi of Renhuang were in seclusion.

Four thousand years later, battles between martial arts immortals frequently occurred on the border between the two regions, with each side once commanding an army of 50,000 to confront Guanzhong.

Rumors about Xiqi spread more and more widely throughout the Nine Provinces, with all sorts of rumors circulating. Some said that Xiqi was a lackey of the Heavenly Court and wanted to usurp the throne from the Emperor.

There are also rumors that Ji Fa is favored by the Heavenly Dao and is destined to become the ruler of the human race and the king of the human race in the future!

There are also rumors that the wealthy merchant emperor is secretly cruel and persecutes loyal officials...

Five thousand years later, the friction between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi became increasingly intense, to the point that every move they made could alarm the surrounding world.

On this day, endless mysteries erupted from the place where Ji Chang of Xiqi was in seclusion. The Later Heaven Bagua, centered on the Marquis of Xibo's residence, slowly expanded outwards to the entire Xiqi. The phantom of the Later Heaven Bagua began to rotate on its own, eventually forming an aura comparable to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

With a soft shout, Ji Chang's voice resounded throughout Xiqi and the entire human race, as if he were making a declaration, telling Emperor Yi that he had attained the realm of martial arts!

"The Hanxiao Pass is a perilous place, where bells and tripods have been destroyed. The hidden dragon should not be used, and the bird of prey should remain indoors!" A mysterious voice resounded throughout the entire human realm.

"Now Ji Chang has attained the Martial Arts Realm and perfected it. He will use his knowledge of the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams to spread the Dao among the human race and bring blessings to all people. I hope that the human world will take heed!" Ji Chang's aura as a beginner-level Martial Arts expert swept across the Nine Provinces, his aura being equivalent to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Upon seeing this, Shang Wu couldn't help but snort coldly. He then looked towards the Human Emperor's Palace and couldn't help but show a trace of worry.

"Granted!" The supreme voice rang out, and a wisp of merit fell, causing flowers to rain down from the sky and golden lotuses to spring up from the ground in Xiqi.

Upon seeing this, the sages of Huoyun Cave couldn't help but have complex expressions. For a marquis of a human dynasty to comprehend the Eight Trigrams of the Later Heaven and cultivate martial arts to the Martial Arts Realm, such a talent should enter Huoyun Cave and should be a great sage of the human race...

"Since you have participated in the struggle for humanity, Huoyun Cave must not intervene again!" Suirenshi's voice was like a final decision, extinguishing all those thoughts.

"Yes, that's right!" Fuxi agreed.

Having absorbed the merits of humanity, Ji Chang's cultivation had now stabilized at the initial stage of martial arts. At this moment, Ji Chang stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards Chaoge.

Inside the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Yi had also emerged from seclusion, but his gaze was somewhat complicated.

As if sensing Ji Chang's gaze, he stood in the Human Emperor's Hall, also looking towards the land of Xiqi. His imperial aura swept across the eight directions, and anyone who saw him would probably exclaim that he was an unparalleled emperor!

"I'll wait for you!" Di Yi said calmly, as if he were speaking to Ji Chang, or perhaps to himself.

After five thousand years of cultivation, he progressed from the middle stage of Martial Origin to the peak of Martial Intent. He was only one step away from the realm of Martial Arts, but no matter how hard Di Yi tried, he seemed unable to find the way to take that final step and could only remain at the peak of Martial Intent.

Upon seeing Di Yi's cultivation level, Su Shao Chen directly communicated with his clone, Huang Tian.

Di Yi's martial arts aptitude and cultivation speed are several levels higher than Ji Chang's, not to mention that he also has the national fortune of the Shang Dynasty and half of the human race's fortune bestowed upon him.

Breaking through to the Martial Arts Realm would be no problem at all, but he was stuck at the peak of Martial Intent. This made Su Shao Chen wonder if the Human Dao had intervened.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave, Huang Tian heard the words of his true self and suddenly opened his eyes, with endless mysterious runes appearing on the Martial Dao Stele in his hand.

In a short while, he found the martial arts practiced by Emperor Yi and Ji Chang, and then he used his divine sense to observe their martial arts.

After observing for only a short while, Huang Tian raised an eyebrow and then used his martial arts luck to summon the human path.

The concept of humanity as the highest principle of the primordial world was immediately and vehemently denied, emitting a buzzing sound.

"You say you are not like the Heavenly Way, and that you are the only truly impartial one? Is this the Heavenly Way's method? Then tell me, do I believe you or not?" Huangtian couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of the human way.

But he also had some vague guesses. Although humanity was dependent on the human race, the current situation was still controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, it was the time of the Great Calamity of the Primordial Era, so it would be easy for humanity to make a move...

Then Huangtian told the original body about Di Yi's affairs.

Upon hearing Huang Tian's words, Su Shao Chen couldn't help but look towards the Primordial Heaven and mutter to himself.

"Can human will truly conquer nature, or can the will of Heaven be defied?"
