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

Chapter 14 Cangjie, the Ancestor of Literature, Sees Su Shaochen Sitting and Discussing the Dao

In the Shang royal palace, Tang saw that Zhong Hui's expression was somewhat heavy upon his return, so he hurriedly stepped forward, grasped Zhong Hui's hand, and asked, "My dear minister, what is wrong? You are a pillar of our Shang kingdom. What could have caused you to be like this?"

Tang was not just putting on an act; he was genuinely asking why the Shang Kingdom was now reborn thanks to Zhong Hui's help, which indirectly led many forces to place their bets on him.

Therefore, Tang valued Zhong Hui highly, so much so that he wished he could share a bed with Zhong Hui and talk to him...

At the same time, the protector that the Phoenix Clan had arranged for him also transmitted a message: "The sage on Dragon Mountain has left. Zhong Xiang must be somewhat saddened."

Tang was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Tang had always held the sage on Longshan Mountain in high esteem. If it weren't for the reminder from the protector, and the fact that the sage was a disciple of a saint and had no interest in the court, he would have personally visited Longshan Mountain to seek his guidance.

Upon hearing Tang's words, Zhong Hui composed himself and said, "Your Majesty, I am saddened by my teacher's departure from Longshan. I apologize for making you laugh at me."

Upon hearing Zhong Hui's words, Tang also patted Zhong Hui on the shoulder and said, "The Sage's cultivation is astonishing. In the future, my dear minister, strive to improve yourself. When you encounter the Sage again, you must take care of your health."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly strive to make the Shang Kingdom prosperous, diligently cultivate myself, and spread the Way and literature, so as not to disappoint my teacher's high expectations and Your Majesty's high regard!" Zhong Hui also bowed to Tang.

"Haha, my dear minister, there's no need for such formality. The wise one has bestowed upon our Shang nation a great fortune, and the path of literature is essential for our Shang's prosperity. I promise you, my dear minister, that no matter what the future holds, our Shang will always prioritize literature!"

"Guards! The wise man has bestowed upon our Shang state a life-saving grace; Longshan should be a sacred place for literature and scholarship!"

"We will honor the virtuous one as the Wenchang Emperor, the Wenqu Star Lord of our Shang Kingdom, and build a Wenchang Emperor Temple and a Wenqu Palace. The virtuous one shall be the Wenqu Star Lord!"

Tang immediately ordered the construction of a temple at Longshan Shou!

He exudes the aura of a hegemon, his presence commanding respect from all directions and dominating the vast wilderness!

Upon hearing this, Zhong Hui respectfully bowed to Tang and said, "Your subject thanks Your Majesty!"

Even the Phoenix Clan protectors couldn't help but marvel at this sight, thinking, "This child has the potential to become a Human Emperor!"

Tang made such a promise to Zhong Hui not only because literature and Taoism had benefited the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty, but also because of the support of the people for Su Shao Chen, and the Jie Sect behind the Sage, all of which Tang wanted to actively win over...

If he were the Emperor, he would probably have directly bestowed the title of Wenqu Star Lord upon Su Shao Chen, given his status as Emperor. But unfortunately, he is not, and this is all he can do for now.

The Human Emperor's status is comparable to that of the Heavenly Emperor. If the Human Emperor were to bestow a title upon a Wenqu Star Lord with the authority of Heaven, the Heavenly Emperor would not dare to offend the Human Emperor. Besides, the Human Emperor also has the power of bestowing titles...

If Su Shao Chen knew Tang's thoughts, he probably wouldn't be able to help but say, "Could it be that the karmic connection between the Jie Sect and the Shang Dynasty already exists at this moment...?"

Su Shao Chen, who was heading towards the East China Sea, naturally noticed the change in his luck.

Moreover, he could vaguely hear what Tang had just said. Although Tang was not yet the Human Emperor, the royal aura on his body and the literary fortune that Su Shao Chen had mastered could naturally detect Tang's actions.

"As expected of the future monarch of the Shang Kingdom, the future human emperor..."

After learning about the Shang Kingdom's subsequent actions, Su Shao Chen focused on his journey back to the Three Immortal Islands. Suddenly, as if sensing something, Su Shao Chen stopped and called out loudly, "May I ask which senior is here?"

A ripple appeared in the space in front of Su Shao Chen, causing Su Shao Chen to be taken aback. Such strength was not something an ordinary Quasi-Saint could achieve...

Then Su Shao Chen saw an old man dressed in animal clothing with a kind face walk out of the space, exuding an aura of vicissitudes and desolation.

"Young friend, there's no need to be nervous. I am Cangjie," Cangjie said to Su Shaochen with a smile.

Upon hearing Cangjie's name, Su Shaochen bowed to him, saying, "Su Shaochen, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, greets Ancestor Wen."

This person was the first to create a writing system for the human race, and also the one who attained enlightenment in a single day and became the progenitor of human writing. Su Shao Chen not only held him in high esteem, but also admired him greatly.

Moreover, he cultivated the Way of Literature. Su Shao Chen was planning to visit the other party at Huoyun Cave when his cultivation was stronger in the future, but the other party found him first.

"I wonder what business Ancestor has with me?" Su Shao Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

Given the other party's cultivation level, even a master wouldn't be able to escape, let alone him. There's no need to make any more small moves...

"Haha, young friend, you cultivate the path of literature, you are destined for great things. I have come here today to meet you." Cangjie said kindly, as if he could see through Su Shaochen's caution and doubt.

Upon hearing this, Su Shao Chen nodded. "Ever since I began cultivating the Dao of Literature, I have always wanted to visit you, but due to my low cultivation level, I have not been able to pay my respects to Ancestor Wen. I never expected that Ancestor Wen would take the initiative to come to me. Ancestor Wen, you have flattered me greatly."

"Haha, we are fellow practitioners of the Way of Literature, so there is no distinction between first and second place. Moreover, the Way of Literature on your body is full of infinite vitality, which makes me marvel at the profoundness of your Way of Literature. Today, we shall discuss the Way." Cangjie waved his hand, and three thousand characters appeared outside the two of them. Instantly, the three thousand characters shone brightly, illuminating the heavens and the universe.

The three thousand characters shone with divine light, as if giving birth to three thousand seeds of the Dao, from which countless profound truths of the Dao permeated.

The two disappeared from the sky above the East China Sea in an instant and appeared on an island. The creatures on the island sensed the arrival of such a powerful being and all prostrated themselves.

Cangjie then smiled and said, "It is fate that we have met. Young friends, you are welcome to come and discuss the Dao."

Rather than letting them discuss the Dao, it would be better to let them listen to the Dao so that they may have the opportunity to attain enlightenment as soon as possible.

Upon hearing the great man's words, all the creatures on the island rushed to listen to his teachings. Various kinds of beings gathered, and soon there were over 50,000 creatures, including those who couldn't come from the island, such as tree spirits…

As if sensing something, Biyou Palace's Tongtian pierced through the void and, upon seeing Cangjie and Su Shao Chen, couldn't help but laugh, "This child has a deep destiny~"

The sage's light shines upon all things. If the sage wants to know something, very few things will not be known to him, especially on the East Sea!

It's more accurate to say that Cangjie was explaining his own philosophy of literature to Su Shaochen rather than discussing the Dao with him.

Su Shao Chen is only at the high-level of the Profound Immortal realm right now. Even with memories of his past life, he could never have the literary cultivation of Cangjie, the ancestor of literature...

As Cangjie preached, the three thousand characters on the island seemed to transform into a cosmic galaxy, with countless laws of literature flashing and billions of literary galaxies pouring down, turning into a golden light that descended, radiating boundless Daoist charm, plunging all the creatures on the island into a profound and mysterious state of enlightenment.

Even the smallest insights from a powerful being in the Quasi-Saint realm can greatly benefit them, let alone a sermon.

Su Shao Chen listened attentively to Cang Jie's sermon, which focused on the Way of Literature.

Combining the literary Dao of Cangjie, the ancestor of literature, Su Shaochen gained a deeper understanding of the literary Dao he cultivated, and his whole being fell into a mysterious and profound realm.

The Daoist aura emanated from Su Shao Chen's body. Cang Jie, who was giving a sermon, sensed the boundless potential of the Daoist aura within Su Shao Chen that had yet to be developed, and a smile appeared on his face.

The two cultivators, along with Cangjie, who controlled the fate of the human race, sensed that Su Shaochen would have a crucial impact on the development of the human race in the future.

The human race's literary path will have unprecedented potential and prosperity, and this is related to this young man in front of us, not just the literary path.
