Fuxi Creates the Eight Trigrams, Yunxiao Becomes Earthly Emperor

When Xuan Yi and Nuwa arrived in the North Sea to state their purpose, Kunpeng handed over the River Luo Diagram without a word.

He was truly terrified of Xuan Yi, who had killed Saints more than ten times. Who in the Primordial Chaos had such a record? He, Kunpeng, was no Saint; he couldn't be resurrected if he perished.

Therefore, the moment Kunpeng saw Xuan Yi, he quickly handed over the Spiritual Treasure.

With the River Luo Diagram, Xuan Yi didn't make things difficult for Kunpeng. He took Nuwa and headed towards the Human Race.

Meanwhile, Fuxi was sitting by the river, engrossed in his research. Suddenly, he saw a turtle dragging the River Luo Diagram and swimming over.

Fuxi casually picked up the River Luo Diagram and began to flip through it. A divine light shot out from the River Luo Diagram towards Fuxi.

A wondrous scene slowly appeared in Fuxi's mind, and this scene completely enlightened him.

He picked up a wooden stick and began to sketch. Soon, an unfathomably profound Innate Dao Diagram appeared, which was the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram of later generations.

This Eight Trigrams Diagram contained Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui; Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Marsh. It was truly infinitely marvelous.

Upon the completion of the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram, Fuxi immediately felt a connection and then rose into the air.

"Heavenly Dao above, I am Fuxi of the Human Race. Today, inspired, I have created the Fuxi Eight Trigrams Diagram to help the Human Race avoid misfortune and seek blessings. I hope the Heavenly Dao will witness this!"

As Fuxi's voice fell, the Heavenly Dao suddenly bestowed a large mass of Heavenly Dao Merit. Fuxi's cultivation began to soar.

Heavenly Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal... Quasi-Saint, Peak Quasi-Saint.

His cultivation continued to rise until he reached Half-step Saint before stopping. At this moment, Fuxi's True Spirit also recovered.

"Big Brother!"

Nuwa arrived beside Fuxi with a hint of tears in her voice.

Seeing Nuwa, Fuxi's heart was filled with complex emotions.

"Little Sister! Brother-in-law! You've worked hard!"

"Your elder brother is now Fuxi of the Human Race, no longer the Demon Emperor of the past!"

Fuxi had reincarnated as a human and understood his mission. He still needed to pass on the position of Co-Lord of the World to achieve complete Merit.

After a brief reunion, Fuxi bid farewell to Nuwa and began searching among the Human Race for the next Co-Lord of the World.

Just as Fuxi was searching diligently, an unusual phenomenon descended upon the Yellow River Basin. Soon after, an infant was born.

Above the East Sea, within Biyou Palace.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was in closed-door cultivation when he was suddenly awakened by a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

After a moment of calculation, he realized that the Earthly Emperor had been born.

The next moment, Tongtian Jiaozhu summoned all his disciples.

"The Heavenly Emperor's Merit is nearing completion, and next will be the enthronement of the Earthly Emperor. This is a great opportunity for my Jie Religion. I wish to select a disciple to serve as the Teacher of the Human Emperor!"

Once all the disciples had gathered, Tongtian briefly explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, the disciples below had eyes shining with avarice. Everyone knew that the Teacher of the Earthly Emperor was a position of great Merit.

However, no one spoke first, as this matter still required Tongtian Jiaozhu's arrangement.

Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at the expressions of his disciples below and couldn't help but nod. He was quite satisfied with this.

"Last time I went to Zixiao Palace, it was decided through discussion that the position of Teacher of the Earthly Emperor would be held by my Jie Religion. Which one of you is willing to take on this role as Teacher of the Human Emperor?"

Duobao was quite cunning. With a roll of his eyes, he addressed Tongtian Jiaozhu, "We will obey our Teacher's arrangements!"

Tongtian stroked his beard and smiled, looking at his disciples below as he began to ponder.

"Among you, my four direct disciples have all reached the Peak Great Luo realm. They only need a little tempering to break through to Quasi-Saint. This task will be given to Yunxiao. After its completion, my Jie Religion will gain another expert at the Peak Great Luo realm."

Then, Tongtian added, "Yunxiao, stay behind. The rest of you may leave."

After the four direct disciples and the outer disciples departed, Tongtian Jiaozhu began to earnestly instruct Yunxiao.

"Yunxiao, although you are going to the Human Race to teach the Earthly Emperor, you must not interfere too much in their internal affairs. The Human Race's matters are fraught with karma. If you are not careful, you will incur great karma, and we cultivators must avoid entanglement with karma. Do you understand?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu lectured Yunxiao repeatedly like a doting father. Yunxiao was indeed favored by Tongtian; not only was her cultivation high, but she was also not arrogant or impatient. Tongtian was extremely pleased with this disciple.

Tongtian rambled on for a long time. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Yunxiao asked for the location of the Earthly Emperor and fled towards the Primordial Chaos as if escaping.

Meanwhile, among the Human Race, after Fuxi created the Innate Eight Trigrams, he passed it on to his tribesmen.

With the help of the Innate Eight Trigrams, the Human Race was no longer threatened by natural disasters, which led to a significant increase in their population.

Coupled with the laws of human relations established by Fuxi, the Human Race no longer suffered from inbreeding. Now, in the Primordial Chaos, the Human Race had become the most populous race among all living beings!

On the other side, in the Jiang Clan Tribe (where Shennong was born), more than ten years had passed since Shennong's birth. Shennong's luck was much better than Fuxi's.

With Fuxi, the Co-Lord of the World, as a precedent, although there were celestial phenomena when Shennong was born, he was not driven away as a monster.

Instead, the leader of the Jiang Clan Tribe rejoiced upon seeing the celestial phenomena that accompanied Shennong's birth.

Because Fuxi had also experienced such phenomena when he was born, the leader of the Jiang Clan Tribe believed Shennong was extraordinary and took great care to protect him.

As time passed, the tribal chief grew old and passed on his position to Shennong.

As the Jiang Clan Tribe lived in the hot southern region, Shennong renamed the tribe the Yan Clan after taking office.

One day, Shennong was wandering in the mountains when a colorful divine bird carrying a peculiar plant flew by.

Seeing this, Shennong quickly chased after the little bird. During his pursuit, the bird was startled, and a few fruits accidentally fell from the plant, landing right in front of Shennong.

Shennong hurried forward to examine them, but to his surprise, the fruits began to take root and sprout as soon as they touched the soil. Within a few breaths, four or five identical plants had grown.

Shennong put the grown fruits into his mouth and chewed. He discovered that not only were they edible, but they also had a peculiar fragrance.

Overjoyed, Shennong quickly took the remaining fruits back to his tribe.

Under careful cultivation, Shennong found that this plant yielded two harvests a year and had an astonishingly high output. Shennong even bestowed the name "Wheat" upon it. With the help of wheat, the Yan Clan no longer had to go hungry and could eat their fill, which further amplified Shennong's renown.

In the following years, Shennong frequently ventured into the deep mountains, and the number of edible plants increased from one to five.

The other four types were Rice, Millet, Sorghum, and Soybean. Shennong collectively named these five plants the Five Grains.

Gradually, the Five Grains discovered by Shennong spread to surrounding tribes. Several tribes recognized Shennong as a great talent and reported his achievements to Fuxi.
