Primordial Era: My God, this phoenix is ​​too cunning!

"Okay. Having written this far, I hope readers will remember our domain name."

Seeing Hou Gang perform such a grand ceremony, Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since you have become my disciple and my eldest disciple, I will bestow upon you three treasures to protect you."

As he spoke, Lin Yang took out three treasures, the first of which was the Eye of All Souls. This treasure could be combined with Hou Gangling's Divine Eye to unleash even greater power.

Secondly, there is the Heart-Piercing Lock, which was obtained by the Tongtian Sect Leader in exchange for the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram. It was once a beloved item of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Lin Yang's bestowal of it upon Hou Gangling demonstrates his fondness and high regard for Hou Gangling.

Thirdly, there was a bamboo staff, which was made from the six pure bamboos and bitter bamboos. However, Lin Yang did not like the name, so he practiced it again.

By infusing some of the innate five elements' energy into it, this staff can emit five-colored divine light and can also transform into five-element thunder to unleash its power, making it extraordinary.

"This disciple thanks you, Master," Hou Gang said, bowing as he accepted the three treasures bestowed upon him by Lin Yang.

Lin Yang thought for a moment and then said, "Let me bestow another name upon you! You are destined to create writing for the human race, so let me name you Cangjie."

"Cangjie?"

Hou Gangling pondered for a moment, then bowed deeply again and said, "Disciple Cangjie thanks Master for bestowing upon me this name."

After accepting Cangjie as his disciple, Lin Yang stayed behind and guided him in creating the human script.

Cangjie already had some ideas about creating characters, but with Lin Yang's guidance, his speed in creating characters suddenly increased even more.

He looked up at the circling trajectory of the Kui star, and looked down at the patterns on the back of a tortoise, the claw marks of birds and beasts, the shapes of mountains and rivers, and the fingerprints on the palms. Inspired by these observations, he created pictographs based on the shapes of things.

These pictographs have six main categories: first, characters referring to things, such as "up" and "down"; second, pictographic characters, such as "sun" and "moon"; third, phonetic-semantic characters, such as "river" and "river"; fourth, ideographic characters, such as "martial" and "trust"; fifth, derivative characters, such as "old" and "examine"; and sixth, phonetic loan characters, such as "command" and "long".

Characters referring to things are arranged with the top part indicating the top and the bottom part indicating the bottom. Pictographic characters, such as the full sun and waning moon, imitate their shapes. Phonetic-semantic characters use a category as their form and a phonetic component as their sound. Ideographic characters, such as "stopping with weapons" (止戈) and "human speech" (人言) mean "trust" (信). Characters with semantic extension, such as "old age" (老寿考), represent longevity. Characters with phonetic loan characters, though sometimes using the same character, share the same meaning despite different pronunciations.

On the day Cangjie successfully created characters, the sky suddenly darkened, a strong wind arose, black fog enveloped the area, countless strange phenomena appeared, ghosts and gods wailed, millet rain fell from the sky, and even the dragons were so frightened that they hid in the abyss and dared not appear.

It was Cangjie who created characters, and Heaven and Earth were moved. From then on, humankind learned to write. Creation could not hide its secrets, so the heavens rained millet; spirits and monsters could not hide their forms, so ghosts cried at night. At that time, writing and painting were one and the same, and the system of symbols was just beginning to be created but was still rudimentary. Since there was no way to convey meaning, there was writing; since there was no way to see form, there was painting. This was the intention of Heaven, Earth, and the sages.

This shows how amazing Cangjie's achievement in creating characters was, even surpassing that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, truly laying the foundation for the prosperity of the human race.

"Boom!"

Bolts of lightning gathered above Cangjie's head, intending to kill him and prevent him from creating characters.

But with Lin Yang present, how could he possibly watch Cangjie suffer? Five-colored divine light suddenly rose from behind Lin Yang, sweeping across the sky, and in an instant, thousands of thunderbolts disappeared.

Even the sky cleared up, and light shone on the earth once more.

Cangjie also breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of being struck by lightning, but he was afraid that the characters he created wouldn't be able to spread.

But now things are different. With Lin Yang around, no calamity can threaten him at all. This is also the first time he has witnessed Lin Yang's power.

It was a kind of power that made the heavens and earth seem insignificant in its presence, rather than a power that made humans seem like ants in the face of heaven and earth.

Cangjie couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

Seeing his expression, Lin Yang laughed and said, "What? Are you envious?"

Cangjie nodded.

"Then learn from me." Lin Yang pointed and passed on a cultivation method he had compiled for Cangjie.

Just as Cangjie was about to comprehend it, the sky suddenly shook again, and with a loud boom, countless merits surged forth.

The dazzling golden light of merit illuminated the heavens and earth, and at this moment, it alarmed countless powerful beings.

All the saints, as well as Styx, Houtu, and others, sent out their divine thoughts toward Cangjie.

The strange phenomenon caused by Cangjie's creation of characters was truly astonishing.

When they learned what was going on from the secrets of heaven, all the great powers and saints were greatly shocked.

What happened to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Why is Cangjie, the inventor of Chinese characters, suddenly mentioned?

Moreover, what's most unacceptable is that Lin Yang has gotten involved in this matter again.

Cangjie, the ancestor of human writing, actually became Lin Yang's apprentice.

For a moment, all the sages felt uneasy, not to mention that Lin Yang had taken two of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Now even the progenitor of human writing has been taken as a disciple by Lin Yang.

They were completely defeated!

Lin Yang didn't care what others thought. At this moment, the Heavenly Merit descended, and with a wave of his hand, Lin Yang helped Cangjie directly condense a huge golden wheel of merit.

Hanging behind Cangjie, with this great merit, Cangjie could roam freely in the prehistoric world.

Even the sages dared not easily deal with Cangjie. After all, besides his great merits, Cangjie was also the ancestor of human writing, and in addition to being the ancestor of human writing, he was also Lin Yang's disciple.

Who would dare to lay a hand on him!

At this time, the human race's fortunes were in turmoil, and Kong Xuan and Shennong also discovered this place.

Kong Xuan, accompanied by Shennong, flew over quickly.

"Third brother, I thought you had gone back. I didn't expect you to have done something so important without making a sound!" Kong Xuan said with a smile.

"It was just a coincidence."

Lin Yang also smiled and said, "I have some affinity with Cangjie, so I took him as my disciple."

"Cangjie, after you create characters, you need to promote them so that all of humanity can learn the characters you created."

Lin Yang then said to Cang Jie, "Then I won't keep you company any longer, since I've already passed on the cultivation technique to you anyway."

"You can cultivate on your own, or you can ask your senior master for guidance, or you can come to the Southern Undying Volcano to find me at any time."

"Disciple understands."

Cangjie prostrated himself before Lin Yang and said, "Disciple respectfully sees you off, Master."

"Um."

Lin Yang nodded and said to Kong Xuan, "Keep an eye on my disciple for me. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Lin Yang took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the void.

Kong Xuan shook his head and had no choice but to bring Cangjie along as well, to guide Cangjie and Shennong in their cultivation.

Kong Xuan was also very surprised by Cangjie's comprehension. After he officially began his cultivation, his cultivation level could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

Kong Xuan often didn't need to say much; Cangjie could learn by analogy and make rapid progress in his cultivation.

Of course, cultivation was secondary. Next, Cangjie traveled among the human race and spread the characters he had created.

This can be described as a truly earth-shattering change for the human race.

It even alarmed the three ancestors of the human race who had been cultivating in seclusion in their ancestral land: Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi.

After leaving the pass, he welcomed Cangjie to the ancestral land and conferred upon Cangjie the title of the fourth ancestor of the human race—the ancestor of literature.
