Primordial Immortal Dao Civilization

At the Primordial Wilderness Human Race settlement, several months had passed since the sermon at Purple Cloud Palace. Humanity's understanding of the world had gradually stabilized, and they had begun to reshape it.

The reason was simple. As the human race expanded its range of activity, they had entered the territories of other living beings and races.

The human race had begun suffering casualties on a significant scale.

Some powerful creatures had been driven away by Fang Xun, but even the ordinary wild beasts of the Primordial Wilderness were beyond the resistance of these humans, who possessed little cultivation.

The Creation Pure Light on their bodies would one day be exhausted as well.

"Yi Zi..." One of the currently elected leaders of the human race came before Hong Yi.

The humans of this era were exceptionally simple and honest. Whoever could protect more clansmen and fill more stomachs could become a leader.

"I cannot intervene to help you," Hong Yi slowly shook his head. "Of course, I can give you a few hints. Go and look more closely at this world."

Unable to puzzle it out despite much thought, the human leader could only follow Yi Zi's guidance and head into the unexplored forests.

Hong Yi had successfully established his own prestige, and his wisdom had earned the recognition of the human race.

With Hong Yi's cultivation and knowledge, a casual piece of guidance was enough to benefit these still-primitive humans immensely.

Following Hong Yi's instructions, the human leader searched the forest, yet found nothing.

Left with no choice, he imitated Yi Zi and sat cross-legged on the ground, drawing in Innate Spiritual Qi through his breathing.

This was the simplest and most rudimentary cultivation method. Some humans with decent comprehension had even developed different Breathing Techniques, increasing the speed at which they absorbed spiritual qi before tempering their bodies through exercise.

Boom!

Heavy leaden clouds blanketed the entire forest, and a blazing-white lightning serpent crashed down upon the tallest tree.

Sizzle!

The lightning-struck tree instantly caught fire. Flames engulfed it, and a small beast on its branches failed to escape in time, its body set ablaze as well.

At that same moment, the firelight illuminated the human leader's eyes.

"Fire?" A flash of Spiritual Light crossed the human leader's mind, and without any teacher, he understood this most important word for humanity.

His soul trembled, as though he had received a revelation from the Heavenly Dao. Instinctively, he knew this was the greatest opportunity he would encounter in his life.

Ignoring the danger, he gathered a flame and returned to the human settlement, discovering more uses for fire along the way.

"Roasting meat, driving away wild beasts, illumination..." His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Now there is only one final problem: flames are not easily preserved, and we must wait for nature to bestow them upon us."

"We humans must master our own fire!"

Half a month later, after trying countless methods, he succeeded in Drilling Wood for Fire!

Rumble!

A vast Golden Merit Cloud appeared out of thin air. Most of the merit poured into the human leader's body, while a smaller portion entered the first spark of fire created by humankind.

"Heavenly Dao above! I, Suiren Shi of the human race, have succeeded in Drilling Wood for Fire! From this day forward, we shall drive away wild beasts and illuminate the night. May the human race be Eternal and never perish, ever striving to strengthen ourselves!"

As though divinely inspired, Suiren Shi spoke these words to the Heavenly Dao. They resembled the Heavenly Dao declaration he had once heard from Empress Nuwa.

"Do not lose focus. Use your Breathing Technique to cultivate, refine this merit, and turn it into your cultivation!"

Hong Yi's voice sounded beside Suiren Shi's ear, jolting him awake. He instinctively began circulating his crude Breathing Technique.

This merit, which had originally belonged to him, was wholly transformed into his cultivation as his crude Breathing Technique circulated, rapidly elevating his level of life!

Merit was an all-purpose force in the Primordial Wilderness. It was Heavenly Dao Force and could be applied in nearly every circumstance.

At the very moment merit entered Suiren Shi's body, the Creation Pure Light bestowed upon him by Empress Nuwa manifested within him, helping him advance his realm.

"Your Kindling Fire." Hong Yi's voice sounded beside Suiren Shi's ear once more.

Almost instinctively, Suiren Shi looked toward the first spark he had drilled forth and, as though by instinct, drew it into his hand.

At this moment, both Hong Yi and Fang Xun appeared not far from Suiren Shi.

"To ascend in a single day, obtain the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, receive merit, and even avoid the Golden Immortal Tribulation... honestly..." Fang Xun did not know how to describe it for a moment.

Yes, the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. That wisp of Kindling Fire was the manifestation of Suiren Shi's Dao Fruit. Once the two merged, with the help of Creation Pure Light, attaining the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit was already certain.

Fang Xun had needed Three Thousand Yuan Hui of cultivation to achieve that!

"How many people like this can there be in the entire Primordial Wilderness?" Hong Yi remained calm. "Oh, there are two more over there. They will be ready soon."

Fang Xun looked toward the nearby human settlement. Two people within it stared at Suiren Shi with shining eyes.

One was Ziyi Shi, and the other was Youchao Shi.

They were human leaders ordained by fate, each possessing their own destined opportunity.

"If they did not truly need this destiny, they might as well forgo this Golden Immortal Dao Fruit." Hong Yi slowly shook his head.

Suiren Shi and the others had already begun pondering Breathing Techniques. This was the simplest qi-refining method. Given some more time, they would likely be able to create a true cultivation system for humanity.

But destiny...

The cultivation and Dao Fruits of the Human Ancestors, entirely bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, were not wholly a good thing for humanity.

Suiren Shi knew nothing of this. Looking at the Kindling Fire flickering around him and bringing him endless warmth, he smiled.

"As long as the Kindling Fire burns, the human race shall never perish!"

The three Human Ancestors successively attained the Golden Immortal realm, and humanity's development formally entered a new stage.

It was also time to discuss more important matters. Hong Yi and Fang Xun deliberately held the discussion in the Chat Group, hoping the others would offer some opinions as well.

Hong Yi: "The direction of human civilization's development is clear: the Primordial Immortal Dao Civilization."

Hong Yi: "It differs slightly from the stories we know. When Empress Nuwa created humans, she did not grant the First Generation Humans any true cultivation. She merely left behind a strand of Creation Pure Light to protect them."

Hong Yi: "This has both benefits and drawbacks. The drawback is naturally that, in the short term, humanity is so weak that even a single Golden Immortal could slaughter and exterminate them at will. But rising from weakness gives them a firmer foundation and greater potential."

As for safety, that was Fang Xun's responsibility.

Fang Xun: "Our initial plan is to impart to humanity only pure insights into the Great Dao from the Dao Ancestor's Sermon, allowing them to explore the Primordial Immortal Dao themselves."

Fang Xun: "Now that the three Human Ancestors have become Golden Immortals, they are fully capable of using this to create a cultivation system for humanity."

The records of the Dao Ancestor's Sermon were contained in Fang Xun's revised edition of the "Xuan Su Scripture," personally recorded by Nuwa.

Fang Xun: "After humanity's cultivation system has been established, we will guide them in researching the Hundred Arts of Cultivation..."

For the Primordial Immortal Dao Civilization, no aspect could be neglected!

Meng Qi: "You have already made your decision, so why ask us? Or do you need some support?"

Meng Qi uploaded "Hundred Arts of Cultivation (One World, One Venerable)"

Ye Fan uploaded "Hundred Arts of Cultivation (Shrouding the Heavens)"

Ji Ning uploaded "Hundred Arts of Cultivation (Desolate Era)"

With the Myriad Heavens and Worlds as their foundation, they would forge the strongest Primordial Immortal Dao Civilization!
