Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 95, Section 94: Shennong Establishes the Martial Way

The Six-Eared Macaque, who was cultivating, opened his eyes and repeated what Ji Yuan had said:

"Face your heart and do what you want to do."

The words struck Shennong's heart like a bolt of lightning.

"My inner self?"

He muttered to himself.

Looking back on this era, I have tasted hundreds of herbs and faced hundreds of thousands of life-or-death crises. Through all the ups and downs, I have established martial arts, giving those of the human race who could not cultivate the path the chance to live forever.

"What do I want to do?"

Humanity is leaderless, plagued by frequent internal strife, and countless people have died. Humanity desperately needs a leader to guide its development.

Shennong said loudly:
"Then I will become the common leader of the human race!"

As soon as the words fell, it seemed to trigger some kind of cause and effect. Time and space intertwined, the Great Dao trembled, and purple qi came from the east between heaven and earth!

It was that wisp of primordial purple energy that had vanished.

Countless powerful beings were shocked to discover that the Primordial Purple Qi, which had vanished for countless years, had actually reappeared.

Without much thought, everyone wanted to glimpse the opportunity to become a saint, and countless powerful figures made their moves.

Starlight descended from Mount Kunlun, transforming into a giant stellar hand that reached out to grasp the primordial purple energy.

The celestial might is displayed in the heavens, its vast divine light cleaving through endless space and time to seize the purple aura.

Even in the chaos, a sea of ​​blood manifested.

The four poles, the starry sky, the deep sea, the ruins, the secret realm...

Countless powerful beings and ancient monsters made their moves, all vying for that Primordial Purple Qi.

The Great Dao collided, and cause and effect intertwined. Shennong, under the Primordial Purple Qi, was like a blade of grass, as if he would vanish into thin air at any moment.

At this critical moment, a cold snort echoed through the heavens and earth:
"Destroy!"

Many supernatural powers were completely annihilated, leaving countless powerful beings horrified.

A completely emotionless voice echoed from the void:

"If anyone is dissatisfied, they are welcome to come and fight me under the Jianmu tree."

After the words were spoken, there was no rebuttal, only an eerie silence.

On Jin'ao Island, the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed heartily: "As expected of my disciple."

He was already prepared to make a move, but Ji Yuan gave him a surprise. His combat strength was now far below that of a Quasi-Saint.

In the chaos, the sea of ​​blood disappeared, never to resurface again.

In the four extreme regions, the four divine lords all sighed:

"What was once worthless has become a sacred tree; we bet on the right thing!"

In the celestial realm, Haotian's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He remained silent, only silently increasing the blessings bestowed upon the human race.

Meanwhile, in the Tushita Heaven, Laozi looked puzzled:

"An alternative path to enlightenment?"

Beneath the Jianmu tree, Ji Yuan appeared somewhat listless.

In the end, he was only a quasi-saint. If it were a one-on-one fight, he would not be afraid of any living being, but how could he easily defeat the divine power unleashed by dozens of quasi-saints together?
That strike, "Dao Collapse," merged dozens of Daos, the fortune of the human race, and one's own fortune into one, unleashing the power of a sage. Only then could it easily block many supernatural powers, which placed a great burden on Ji Yuan's body.

Good thing...

Ji Yuan turned his gaze to Shennong.

At this time, Shennong had already merged with the Primordial Purple Qi.

The Primordial Purple Qi cannot enhance strength; its main function is to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao and improve one's comprehension.

Shennong used it in the same way, desperately using the Primordial Purple Qi to enhance his understanding of martial arts.

Sensing Shennong's rising aura, the Six-Eared Macaque quickly dropped numerous innate spiritual treasures to help Shennong improve his cultivation. Soon, Shennong's understanding of martial arts reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With the help of many spiritual beings, he officially advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The Heavenly Dao trembled, and all living beings felt it. A new path to cultivate to the Great Luo realm was added to the world, called the Martial Dao.

This paves the way for countless people without the talent for cultivating immortality; it is a great merit.

Auspicious clouds gathered, and heavenly merits descended, instantly condensing a ninth-grade Dao flower to pluck the Great Luo Dao Fruit!

Shennong also remembered everything: preaching at Zixiao Palace, abdicating the throne to Zhunti, his close friend Zhen Yuanzi, and the assassination attempt by the Styx Kunpeng...

He remembered everything.

"So I was the reincarnation of Hongyun."

However, he made up his mind a moment later.

"Reincarnation erases karma, I become the Shennong of the human race!"

At that very moment, the Kongtong Seal manifested, emitting a vast and profound Daoist sound:
"By imperial decree, Lieshan is hereby appointed as the second Human Emperor, who created martial arts, brought blessings to all living beings, and became the common ruler of the human race, known as Shennong!"

At this point, many ambitious people in the human race gave up their ambitions. No matter how fiercely they fought, it would be useless to subdue a race by force. Those who are not recognized by the Kongtong Seal are ultimately just illusions. Only those recognized by the Kongtong Seal are the true rulers of the human race.

From then on, Shennong became the supreme ruler of the human race, leading them towards a new era of development.

…………

Time flies, and fifty dollars have passed in the blink of an eye.

Under Shennong's leadership, the human race reached another peak, its fortunes grew stronger, and humanity became increasingly powerful.

Shennong took farming, alchemy, and martial arts to their extremes.

Farming involves re-cultivating and hybridizing various acquired spiritual roots to produce spiritual roots with stronger functions.

There are blood-clotting fruits that strengthen one's blood and qi, soul-nourishing trees that cultivate one's spirit, water-repelling peaches that allow one to breathe freely underwater, fire dates that can walk freely in fire, and the Qiankun vine that can communicate with others even across vast distances, and so on.

The art of alchemy has also developed well. For example, there is the Divine Power Pill, which allows one to use a divine power for a short period of time after consuming one. There is also the Talent Divine Power Pill, which allows one to awaken a natal divine power after consuming one. Although one can only consume one in a lifetime, this has greatly narrowed the starting point for humans compared to other races.

With the blessing of the human race's fortune, Shennong has perfected martial arts to the Quasi-Saint Second Corpse Realm.

Martial arts have become a path of cultivation for many humans. Immortal cultivation emphasizes talent, and since human talent varies greatly, only a minority can ultimately cultivate immortality.

Martial arts emphasize perseverance and resources; those with perseverance often achieve great things.

Resources are now plentiful for humans, with countless micro-worlds containing breeding grounds for hybrid spiritual roots, ensuring a continuous supply of resources.

Although the human race doesn't have many high-end combatants, in terms of overall strength, it almost overwhelms all other races.

At the height of humanity's fortune, a cry came from the Youxiong clan. It was not the reincarnation of any innate deity, but a pure human being, the Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan.

At this moment, Ji Yuan also arrived at the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.

"Second Master Uncle, it's been a long time. May your Great Dao endure forever and your Dao fruits remain eternally."

Ji Yuan bowed respectfully and said.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable smiled slightly:
"It's been so long since we last met that you seem quite distant. Instead of suppressing the fortunes of the human race, what are you doing here at my Jade Void Palace?"

He could no longer fathom the cause and effect of Ji Yuan's existence, so he did not know why Ji Yuan had come. However, he could still see that Ji Yuan seemed to have opened up a new path on the road to becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal.

"Reporting to Second Master Uncle."

Ji Yuan said unhurriedly:
"The Human Race's chosen Emperor has been born. I have calculated that a junior brother from the Chan Sect will have a master-disciple relationship with him, so I have come to give you this reminder."

"Oh? My disciple Guang Chengzi does indeed have a master-disciple relationship with the Heavenly Emperor. May I ask what you wish to remind me of?"

Yuanshi Tianzun understood the will of Heaven and knew the heart of Heaven, so he was naturally very clear about such matters.

"Junior Brother Guang Chengzi can impart the Human Emperor's skills, but you must never interfere with the Human Emperor's calamities. The Human Emperor is subject to nine heavenly tribulations. If you intervene, you may be tainted by the mortal world's killing tribulations!"

Ji Yuan said with absolute certainty.
