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

Chapter 6 Heavenly Merit! The Fire Spirit and the Nest Emerge Together!

This time, Jiang Heng's cultivation progressed from the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and then leaped into the Sendai Secret Realm. In fact, it did not take him very long.

The Wheel Sea Secret Realm takes half a year, the Dao Palace Secret Realm takes one year, the Four Extremes Secret Realm takes two years, and the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm takes three years.

All told, Jiang Heng has only been cultivating for six and a half years, which is quite fast.

This was due to both the system's improvement of the Ancient Sacred Body, allowing Jiang Heng to cultivate normally, and the abundant spiritual energy of the primordial world.

Six and a half years is but a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things, nothing to be mentioned.

When Jiang Heng returned to the human race, he found that the human race was still the same as before, without any change whatsoever.

The human race at present is merely struggling to survive on the primordial land and cannot be considered a powerful race at all.

Every day, humans perish, either at the hands of demons, or due to natural disasters or man-made calamities, or simply because their lifespan has come to an end.

Humanity has considered making changes, but its weak strength has forced it to remain dormant for the time being, leaving it powerless to alter anything.

When the goddess Nuwa created humans, the first humans to be born were called the Primordial Humans, and Jiang Heng was one of them.

Later generations of humans were all born in the womb, thus acquiring acquired energy, and were therefore called the post-natal human race.

In their early days, humanity was incredibly weak, and countless innate humans perished in the struggle for survival.

By this time, there are very few innate humans left among the human race, and they are revered as leaders by countless other humans.

The Primordial Human Race was created by the sage Nuwa, and the actions of a sage are naturally extraordinary. Therefore, the Primordial Human Race possesses exceptional talent for cultivation.

After the teachings of the Sage Taiqing, the most powerful human race had now reached the realm of Taiyi Xuanxian.

Such cultivation level is nothing special on the vast wilderness, but for the human race, it is already a remarkable improvement.

"Heng, you're back. How was your training this time?" A burly human man greeted Jiang Heng with great enthusiasm.

This giant human was also a primordial human, one of the first humans created by the sage Nuwa.

Upon seeing this person, Jiang Heng's eyes suddenly lit up, because this person was one of the strongest cultivators among the human race.

"This cultivation went quite smoothly, and I have already stepped into the Earth Immortal realm!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Upon entering the Sendai Secret Realm, Jiang Heng had already attained a cultivation level equivalent to that of an Earth Immortal in the Primordial World, making him quite a master among the human race.

"That's not bad! With the teachings of the Sage Taiqing this time, the strength of our human race has greatly improved. I believe the days ahead will be much easier!" the big man said happily.

"During this period of seclusion, I've been pondering a question: how exactly should our clansmen start a fire?" Jiang Heng asked.

"Can't we just use magic to start a fire?" the big man asked, looking confused.

"I know that magic can start a fire, but what about ordinary people? They have no cultivation, so how can they use magic?" Jiang Heng asked.

"That's right! How can ordinary people without cultivation start a fire?" The big man looked confused and muttered to himself as he pondered.

"I've come up with a solution, and I'll call it 'Drilling Wood to Make Fire'! Even without magic, you can still start a fire!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Drill wood to make fire? Tell me in detail right away!" the big man said impatiently.

The method of starting a fire by rubbing wood is not complicated, and for a Taiyi Xuanxian (a type of immortal), it is even less difficult.

Under Jiang Heng's guidance, the burly man began his first attempt at starting a fire by rubbing sticks together. Soon, as smoke rose, a faint wisp of light appeared.

The burly man stared blankly at the faint wisp of fire before him, muttering to himself, "It really worked! Now even those of our clansmen without cultivation can start a fire themselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, boundless merit descended and merged into the burly man's body, causing his cultivation level to rise steadily.

The merits accumulated over time gradually dissipated as one progressed from Taiyi Xuanxian to Jinxian, then to the peak of Jinxian, until finally reaching the Daluo Jinxian realm.

The fire that the great man obtained by drilling wood was transformed into the fire of merit under the nourishment of boundless virtue.

Standing right next to the giant, Jiang Heng also accumulated some merit, but he did not integrate these merits into himself.

"From this day forward, I am Suiren!"

As his immeasurable merit dissipated, the great man stepped into the sky, his magnificent voice resounding throughout the entire human race.

This commotion not only alarmed the entire human race, but also drew countless people to witness Suirenshi's attainment of enlightenment.

Other powerful beings in the primordial world also sensed this and briefly turned their attention to the human race.

However, although the merit bestowed by heaven was extraordinary, the birth of a Great Luo Golden Immortal was not truly taken seriously by these powerful beings.

Perhaps only those saints, and the one who sits high above the nine heavens, know what the events that have occurred among the human race truly mean.

It was precisely because he did not want to be noticed by these sages that Jiang Heng gave the merit of drilling wood to Suirenshi.

The birth of a Great Luo Golden Immortal is of great significance to the human race today.

The entire human race began to sing and dance, embarking on a grand celebration, with Suirenshi undoubtedly becoming the center of attention.

Jiang Heng remained silent, pondering his future plans, when another burly human man approached him.

"Heng! I heard from my elder brother Suiren that it was under your guidance that he was able to successfully make fire by drilling wood."

Otherwise, there would have been no divine favor bestowed upon my elder brother, Suirenshi, allowing him to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Dao and thus achieve the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

This giant human was also a primordial human, and like the former Suiren, he was not only a leader of the human race but also possessed the cultivation of a Taiyi Xuanxian.

"Actually, I still have some ideas that I haven't implemented yet?" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"What brilliant idea do you have? Tell me quickly!" the big man said impatiently.

"Look, our human race is not small in number now, but most of our people are homeless and suffer especially when it is windy and rainy."

"If you're lucky, you might find a cave to hide in; if you're unlucky, you'll just be exposed to the wind and rain!" Jiang Heng said.

"That's true! Many of our clansmen have no cultivation, and they can't even avoid the wind and rain!" The big man said in a deep voice, his face full of sorrow.

"So I was thinking, is there any way to change this situation? Later, I observed birds building nests in trees."

"I suddenly realized, if birds can build nests, why can't we humans build shelters from the wind and rain using trees?" Jiang Heng said slowly.

"That's right! Why can't we humans build nests? We can build nests too!" The big man's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly.

Having said that, the big man was so excited that he could no longer sit still. He immediately pulled Jiang Heng and began to cut down trees.

Under Jiang Heng's guidance, a simple house gradually took shape in the hands of this burly man.

Gazing at the simple house before him, the burly man seemed to sense something and murmured to himself, "This will be the lair of my human race! From now on, my human race will never again suffer from the wind and rain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, boundless merit descended from the heavens, merging into the great man's body and causing his cultivation to rise steadily.

Like Suirenshi, this great man's cultivation level rose directly from Taiyi Xuanxian to Daluo Jinxian, and the merits bestowed upon him from the Nine Heavens slowly dissipated.

The simple house built by the great man was transformed into a magnificent palace and a treasure of merit under the nourishment of boundless merit.

Because of the guidance given to the great man, some merits were bestowed upon Jiang Heng, but Jiang Heng still did not integrate these merits into himself.

"From this day forward, I am Youchao!"

As his immeasurable merit dissipated, the great man stepped into the sky, his magnificent voice resounding throughout the entire human race.

This commotion once again alarmed the entire human race, and countless clansmen came to witness Youchao's attainment of enlightenment.

Other powerful beings in the primordial world also sensed this and briefly turned their attention to the human race once again.

Perhaps because the human race received two blessings from heaven in one day, resulting in the birth of two Great Luo Golden Immortals, these powerful beings spent much longer on this occasion.

But as before, it's just one Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Even if there were a few more Grand Luo Golden Immortals, these powerful beings probably wouldn't care.

These powerful beings were only concerned with why the human race was able to receive two blessings from Heaven within a single period of time.

After all, the scene of the five sages attaining enlightenment not long ago is still fresh in our minds. The Taiqing Sage Laozi achieved his sagehood by establishing the teachings of humanity.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of the Sage Taiqing and the Sage Nuwa that the powerful beings of the prehistoric world do not dare to do anything to the human race for the time being.

However, after patrolling for a long time, these powerful beings found nothing unusual and eventually had to slowly withdraw their gaze.

The fact that Suirenshi and Youchaoshi were able to attain enlightenment one after another was naturally due to Jiang Heng, and all of this was actually part of Jiang Heng's plan.

The reason he gave the merit to others was that Jiang Heng did not want to be noticed by the sages, and even less so by the Dao Ancestor.

Secondly, merit is of extremely limited use to Jiang Heng; at most, it can only be used to refine treasures of merit.

Using merit to improve one's cultivation level is something Jiang Heng, who has cultivated the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique, would never attempt.

Merit originates from heaven and earth, or one could say from the Way of Heaven. Once one attains enlightenment through merit, one will inevitably be subject to the constraints of heaven and earth, and to the Way of Heaven.

For Jiang Heng, who possesses a system, neither this world nor the Heavenly Dao can bind him.

"Next, we need a suitable candidate!" Jiang Heng muttered to himself.

There are many ways to gain merit among humans, and Jiang Heng does not intend to try them all, but he does not want to miss the most crucial ones.

Moreover, Jiang Heng has never forgotten what is most urgent for him right now.
