Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 42 Peaches of Immortality and Elixir of Immortality! Golden Body of Merit!

Under the guidance of Youchao, Grand Master Xuandu toured the entire human race. By the time he returned, he was already questioning the meaning of life.

Grand Master Xuandu wasn't stupid either. He discovered that the biggest reason for the changes in the human race was actually due to one person.

The current ruler of humanity, Jiang Heng, who calls himself Emperor Heng, is the reason why humanity has become what it is today.

According to the various reports that Grand Master Xuandu heard, it was Jiang Heng who enlightened the four people, Suirenshi, which led to the Heavenly Dao bestowing merit upon them, allowing them to attain enlightenment.

It was precisely because of this that people like Suirenshi were able to achieve the status of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the human race thus gained a certain level of strength.

It was Jiang Heng who, during his seclusion, comprehended a completely new cultivation method and passed it on to all humankind, thus ushering in a glorious era of cultivation for the human race.

It was Jiang Heng who founded the Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Armies, giving the human race its first organized army and the strength to wage war against external enemies.

As a human, seeing that the human race has a powerful ruler like Jiang Heng, Grand Master Xuandu was naturally extremely gratified.

No matter how much thought or intention Master Xuandu had, he was, after all, a human, and his desire for humanity to become better was instinctive.

However, Grand Master Xuandu was also very worried, mainly because of the new cultivation method created by Jiang Heng.

Among the human race, the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Law is not a secret, and Grand Master Xuandu has naturally heard of it.

To facilitate this sermon and ensure he knew himself and his opponent, Grand Master Xuandu even specifically consulted the cultivation method created by Jiang Heng.

You wouldn't believe it until you see it. In the eyes of Grand Master Xuandu, the cultivation method created by Jiang Heng was simply unheard of.

The cultivation method of the Grand Master Xuandu was personally passed down by the Sage Taiqing. It originated from the orthodox Taoist profound skills of the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun and can be described as extremely exquisite.

However, the cultivation method that Jiang Heng created, called "Human Emperor's Method," was completely different from the cultivation method practiced by Grand Master Xuandu himself.

What kind of cultivation secret realm is this, which develops the human body's potential to the limit? What kind of secret realm is this, such as the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm or the Dao Palace Secret Realm? Grand Master Xuandu has never even heard of it.

For Grand Master Xuandu, this was nothing short of heresy and a major subversion of Taoist mystical arts.

Ironically, among the human race today, everyone practices this technique and has achieved considerable success.

"No! Master founded the Human Sect, which should be the orthodoxy of the human race. If the human race does not cultivate the methods of the Human Sect, how should the Human Sect conduct itself?"

"If my master were to punish me, I fear the entire human race would be unable to bear it. I must set things right!" Grand Master Xuandu thought to himself.

At this moment, Grand Master Xuandu suddenly seemed to understand why the Sage Taiqing had sent him to preach to the human race.

As the chief disciple of the Human Sect, Grand Master Xuandu must uphold the Human Sect's traditions, and the foundation of the Human Sect is its focus on human beings.

If no one in the entire human race cultivates the teachings of the Human Sect, then the Human Sect becomes nothing more than a decoration, having no meaning whatsoever.

Grand Master Xuandu secretly resolved that this time he must preach the Dao properly and demonstrate the profound methods of the Human Teachings as much as possible, so as to change the cultivation system of the human race.

Moreover, Grand Master Xuandu has decided that he must take in more disciples this time, so that the Renjiao sect can flourish among the human race.

Leaving aside the various thoughts of Grand Master Xuandu, Jiang Heng's grand arrangements for Grand Master Xuandu's sermons also require some time.

Of course, these matters were to be arranged by Suirenshi and others, and Jiang Heng did not need to worry about them. Jiang Heng needed to think about other things.

While Grand Master Xuandu and Sage Taiqing could serve as a good shield against the impending invasion of the demon race, Jiang Heng would not place all his hopes on them.

The mind of a sage is unfathomable. It is not easy to scheme against a sage. The fundamental solution is for humanity to become strong.

The human race today has no shortage of cultivation techniques, and there are also many rare materials in the current prehistoric world, enough for the human race to forge all kinds of magical treasures.

If he wanted the human race to advance further in a short period of time, Jiang Heng thought of one possibility: innate spiritual roots.

Back then, in Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple, Jiang Heng had the opportunity to taste the wonders of the innate spiritual root, the ginseng fruit.

Unfortunately, the ginseng fruit takes too long to mature, producing only thirty fruits at a time, which is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean for billions of people.

In summary, among all the innate spiritual roots, the peach of immortality should have the greatest effect on the human race.

Once this innate spiritual root matures, it will allow humans to ascend to the Immortal Realm in a very short time, saving countless hours of cultivation.

It can be said that the innate spiritual root of the peaches of immortality definitely played a part in the Heavenly Court's future glory.

Unfortunately, this innate spiritual root is currently in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and will be bestowed upon the Queen Mother by Dao Ancestor in the future.

To try to seize the elixir of immortality from Dao Ancestor Hongjun is, of course, a pipe dream, or rather, it's as if they don't want to die fast enough.

Even in the future Heavenly Court, with the Dao Ancestor backing him up, it would be virtually impossible for Jiang Heng to seize the Peaches of Immortality.

Jiang Heng had given up all hope of finding an innate spiritual root in the primordial world, but he could exchange for the elixir of immortality in the world of "Covering the Sky" as long as he had enough luck points.

In the world of "Covering the Sky", there is also an elixir of immortality called the Peach of Immortality, but its effects are different from those of the innate spiritual root Peach of Immortality in the primordial world.

After searching through the system's shop for a while, Jiang Heng finally found the Immortality Peach.

"Treasure Name: Immortality Peach!"

Grade: Superior!

Required Luck Points for Exchange: 8000!

Overview: Originally an elixir of immortality possessed by the Queen Mother of the West in the Yaochi Valley of the world of "Covering the Sky," it possessed extremely potent medicinal properties, capable of granting emperors a second life. Through system improvements, it can now be cultivated into offshoots.

Although an elixir of immortality is of immeasurable value, it is far from enough to solve the current predicament of the human race as a whole.

What Jiang Heng values ​​is that the Immortal Peach has been systematically improved and can now be propagated by division.

The so-called division of the plant is actually equivalent to a slightly less effective immortality elixir of immortality, which is somewhat similar to the immortal peaches in the prehistoric world.

The peaches in the primordial world are called the Primordial Ren Water Peach Tree. Originally, it was just a primordial spiritual root similar to a ginseng fruit tree.

After being bestowed upon the Queen Mother of the West by the Dao Ancestor, it transformed into three thousand six hundred peach trees in the Heavenly Peach Garden.

The first 1,200 trees have tiny flowers and fruits that ripen once every 3,000 years. People who eat them will become immortals and attain enlightenment.

The middle 1,200 trees bear layered flowers and sweet fruit, ripening once every 6,000 years. Those who eat them will ascend to heaven and live forever.

The following 1,200 plants, with purple veins and fine kernels, ripen once every nine thousand years. Those who eat them will live as long as heaven and earth, and be as old as the sun and moon.

Each peach tree can bear a lot of fruit, so the number of peaches that the Heavenly Court can possess is extremely exaggerated.

It was by using the peaches of immortality to win over all sides that the Heavenly Court was able to gradually prosper, and with the addition of the Investiture of the Gods, the Heavenly Court was able to truly flourish.

Jiang Heng didn't expect the Immortality Peach Elixir to achieve the same effect; as long as he could cultivate as many offshoots as possible, the luck points would be well spent.

After exchanging for the Peaches of Immortality and Elixir of Immortality, Jiang Heng had few points left and would not be able to exchange for other treasures in the short term.

Subsequently, Jiang Heng handed over the immortal peach elixir to Suirenshi, instructing them to assign people to guard it and to study how to cultivate it by division as soon as possible.

This matter cannot be accomplished overnight; it will likely require at least several hundred years of hard work to see initial results.

Afterwards, Jiang Heng went into seclusion again to cultivate. At a time when the situation of the human race was unpredictable, Jiang Heng prepared to add some more trump cards to his portfolio.

"The Golden Body of Merit is quite a good thing!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

Since he couldn't improve his own strength in a short time, Jiang Heng naturally turned his attention to external things, and the Golden Body of Merit was undoubtedly a good choice.

When Suirenshi attained enlightenment, the heavens bestowed boundless merits upon him. The reason why Suirenshi and others were able to attain enlightenment was due to the guidance of Jiang Heng.

Therefore, when Heaven bestowed merits, the merits that fell upon Jiang Heng were actually quite substantial.

Furthermore, when Houtu was undergoing reincarnation, Jiang Heng not only provided guidance but also stepped in at a crucial moment to stabilize the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which was on the verge of collapse.

Through this accumulation, Jiang Heng now possesses an astonishing amount of merit.

Such immense merit could even transform a human with no cultivation into a powerful being at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, Jiang Heng has always been wary of merit, so he has not integrated merit into his body to quickly improve his cultivation.

Otherwise, with the accumulation of boundless merit, Jiang Heng might actually have a chance to break through the bottleneck and reach the realm of the Great Emperor.

For Jiang Heng, the Golden Body of Merit is undoubtedly the best choice. To condense the Golden Body of Merit, one does not need to integrate merit into one's own body.

Simply put, the Golden Body of Merit is essentially a defensive magic weapon condensed from boundless merit.

You can think of the Golden Body of Merit as a layer of armor. Wearing it not only provides extremely strong defense, but also makes many powerful people hesitant to attack.

Anyone who dares to damage the golden body of merit will inevitably be burdened with their own karma, which is an extremely serious consequence in the primordial world.

The decline of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races can be attributed to the immense karma inflicted upon them by the battle that claimed countless lives and shattered the primordial world.

Because of the boundless karma they were burdened with, the Qilin clan was wiped out, the Phoenix clan was almost completely wiped out, and only the Dragon clan was still struggling and their lives were not easy either.

With his golden body of merit protecting him, Jiang Heng became like a hedgehog in the primordial world, and those who dared to attack him were extremely rare.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the merit in the Golden Body of Merit is sufficient, even a saint would have to think twice before taking action.

For Jiang Heng, once the Golden Body of Merit is successfully condensed, he will have more confidence when facing the Supreme Saint in the future.

In just a few months, the initial formation of the Golden Body of Merit was successfully completed. Of course, this is still only a prototype, and there is still some distance to go before it becomes a true Golden Body of Merit.

When Jiang Heng emerged from seclusion, the time had come for Grand Master Xuandu to preach among the human race.
