The Primordial World's First Cang Immortal

Suddenly, a call came from behind.

Looking back, Cang Du had arrived at some unknown time. He stepped forward after landing and said, "I didn't expect a fellow Daoist to be in the human territory as well."

Cang Du?

Why was he here?

Tai Cang was surprised in his heart.

Cultivators of the Three Sects were not supposed to leave Kunlun Mountain without permission; Tai Cang's situation was an exception.

Suppressing his confusion, Tai Cang stepped forward and asked, "Fellow Daoist Cang Du, why have you come here?"

"Did the Grand Clarity Sage send you to the human race on business?"

"Sigh!"

Cang Du sighed, a troubled expression on his face. He walked to Tai Cang's side and whispered, "To be honest, Kunlun Mountain is no longer peaceful."

"For thousands of years, the contradictions between the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect have intensified."

"Third Uncle has been recruiting disciples extensively, and the Intercepting Sect now has over a thousand members. They have made Kunlun Mountain a mess."

"My master ordered me to find a new dojo in the human territory. We no longer wish to stay in Kunlun."

A new dojo?

Are the Three Pure Ones splitting up?

Tai Cang's eyes narrowed, and his expression turned solemn.

When he had debated with the Three Pure Ones before, he thought that the split would not happen. After all, they had glimpsed many possibilities in the river of fate; it wouldn't be difficult to prevent it if they wished.

But now it seemed that Tongtian had not held back, and the Intercepting Sect was still developing towards the direction of "ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage."

"Fellow Daoist Tai Cang, what business do you have in the human territory?"

Cang Du looked at Tai Cang curiously, his eyes full of questions.

Tai Cang had traveled among the Witch and Monster races in recent years, and now he appeared in the human territory. The deeper meaning behind this was intriguing.

I've come to spread the Dao. Tai Cang looked at Cang Du, already having a plan in mind: "Fellow Daoist Cang Du, as an ancestor of the human race, are you willing to help me spread the Martial Dao among them?"

The human race was currently flourishing, and Tai Cang was struggling to find a way to spread the Dao quickly. With Cang Du's help, it would be entirely different. Although he had joined Laozi's sect, as one of the first humans created by Nuwa with her own hands, he still held a high status among the human race. By leveraging his influence to spread the Martial Dao, he could gather the essence of humanity and perfect the Supreme Human Flower.

Spread the Dao? Cang Du looked surprised. The human race had never lacked those who preached the Dharma, but they had achieved little success. Many of the divine abilities of the powerful cultivators were not suitable for human cultivation. Only his master's Golden Core Great Dao was somewhat feasible, but it was only applicable to a few.

Hearing this, Tai Cang suddenly understood. No wonder the human cultivation system felt so strange to him. The corners of his mouth curled up: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. The Martial Dao I created is most suitable for the human race." As he spoke, he took out a jade talisman, inscribed the basic Martial Dao mental cultivation method onto it, and handed it to Cang Du.

Martial Dao? Did you create it yourself? Cang Du was shocked. To create a new Dao at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm was truly unbelievable. He took the jade talisman and carefully studied it. After a moment, his eyes snapped open: "This Dao progresses step by step and has extremely low requirements for aptitude. It's practically tailor-made for the human race!" "Fellow Daoist Tai Cang, to create such a Great Dao at the Grand Unity realm, if it were widely spread, the strength of the human race would surely advance by leaps and bounds."

Cang Du couldn't hide his envy. Those who created their own Dao would receive the blessings of fortune when they advanced to the Grand Unity realm, making their cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

You flatter me, fellow Daoist. Tai Cang said humbly, then got straight to the point: "Since you have witnessed the power of the Martial Dao, could you introduce me to the Three Ancestors of Humanity? If this Dao is promoted, the human race might be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Witch and Monster races."

These words made Cang Du's breath catch. Competing with the Witches and Monsters meant the true rise of the human race!

Cang Du did not hesitate. "I will take you to the ancestral land immediately. I implore you, fellow Daoist, to pass on the Martial Dao to the human race!" He then bowed solemnly, his eyes filled with earnestness. As a cultivator of the human race, his sincere devotion to his people was evident.

Even after joining Laozi's sect and becoming the chief disciple of the Ren Sect, Cang Du had always cared about the development of the human race. With such a golden opportunity before him, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

This is feasible!

Tai Cang's lips curved slightly, knowing that more than half of his plan had succeeded. With Cang Du's introduction, and then convincing the Three Ancestors of Humanity, the path of Martial Dao inheritance would be smooth sailing.

The two immediately took to the clouds and sped towards the direction of the human ancestral land.

It's a cultivator!

At the foot of the mountain, a young man who had just slain a Cang Immortal beast looked up and saw this scene. He frowned, hoisted the beast's carcass onto his shoulder, and sprinted through the forest, also heading towards the ancestral land.

Within the human ancestral land, as two figures descended from the sky, the tribesmen clad in animal skins all turned their heads. Upon recognizing Cang Du, everyone cheered with joy: "Ancestor Cang Du is back!"

Cheers erupted one after another, and the entire ancestral land instantly became lively. Women and children rushed out, their eyes filled with reverence and longing, especially the children, whose gazes were fixed on the two visitors.

"Little Cang Du, you've finally decided to come back."

A booming laugh echoed, and three white-haired elders strode over. They were the Three Ancestors of Humanity: Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, and Ziyishi. Although they were very old, the surging blood energy within them was no less than that of a Great Witch of the Witch Clan.

"Greetings, Three Ancestors."

Cang Du performed the proper etiquette and then introduced, "This is Fellow Daoist Tai Cang of Cang Gate. The Martial Dao he created is very suitable for our people to cultivate and can be widely spread."

As he spoke, he presented the jade slip containing the essentials of the Martial Dao.

Martial Dao?

The Three Ancestors exchanged glances, unable to hide their surprise. If it were truly as stated, it would be a great opportunity for the human race.

Youchaoshi was the first to examine the jade slip. After a moment, his eyes snapped open: "Marvelous! This method progresses step by step, and even young children can cultivate it. It first strengthens the body, then refines the true energy, and only then can the Martial Dao be achieved through dual cultivation of body and energy. If it can be popularized, our race's strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

"Is that true?"

Suirenshi and Ziyishi hurriedly took the jade slip and examined it closely. After a short while, their faces flushed: "This Dao does not distinguish between old and young, nor does it consider aptitude; it only values willpower. If it is popularized, everyone in our race can become a warrior!" It also contains profound insights comparable to those of cultivators, which can be comprehended once the realm is sufficient.

The Three Ancestors were overjoyed, sometimes laughing heartily, sometimes choking with emotion. Seeing this, Tai Cang and Cang Du couldn't help but feel moved.

The three Ancestors of Humanity, deeply concerned for their people's future and learning that the Martial Dao could help humanity flourish, were understandably emotional.

Thump--

The Three Ancestors of Humanity suddenly knelt before Tai Cang, tears streaming down their faces. "We beg Immortal Tai Cang to bestow the true inheritance of the Martial Dao upon our people!"

"We beg the immortal to teach us the Martial Dao!"

"We beg the immortal to show mercy!"

Everyone present realized what was happening. Though they didn't understand what the Martial Dao was, seeing the three ancestors' solemnity, they all immediately knelt in unison. A thunderous roar of pleas echoed throughout the ancestral land:

"We beg Immortal Tai Cang to impart the Dao!"

"We beg the immortal to show kindness and bestow the methods!"

The sound waves rose and fell, and no one in the entire tribe remained standing. For the sake of their people's future, Youchaoshi, Suirenshi, and Ziyishi, the three founding ancestors, were willing to cast aside all dignity.

This is humanity.

For their descendants, they are willing to give everything.

Tai Cang watched this scene, his heart surging with emotion. These pioneering ancestors were embodying the most precious quality of Eastern humanity—lying dormant in adversity, but going all out once an opportunity arose. For the continuation of their people, they could abandon all empty fame and fleeting gain.

"Daoist Tai Cang!"

Cang Du also bowed solemnly, "We implore you, Daoist friend, to fulfill our wish. Since humanity was born, we have fought against the savage beasts of the Primordial World with weapons made of wood and stone, and many of our kin have been buried in the wilderness. Although talents have emerged since then, we still struggle to break free from this predicament. The resources in the Eastern Sea are becoming increasingly scarce, and expanding outwards requires us to face the Witch and Monster races. We beg you to bestow the Martial Dao upon us and open a path for humanity!"

As he spoke with deep emotion, this True Grand Unity Immortal even bent his knees and wept, tears wetting his robes.

Tai Cang helped them up and said loudly, "I have come precisely to impart the Dao to you all. Since the three ancestors have verified that the Martial Dao is harmless, tomorrow I will gather the youths of the tribe to practice with me. This path values perseverance. If anyone fears hardship, there is no need to force them."

The three ancestors were overjoyed upon hearing this, repeatedly assuring him, "Rest assured, Immortal, we will strictly supervise them!"

"Anyone who slacks off will be severely punished!"

Seeing everyone's solemnity, Tai Cang nodded with satisfaction. With the strong physique of the innate humans, supplemented by diligent practice, a group of martial arts prodigies could surely be cultivated in time.

As long as these people cultivated diligently, Tai Cang could completely train them into martial artists in a short period. Then, they could spread the Martial Dao among humanity, which would be far more efficient than him teaching them personally.

"Ding! Quest Issued: Recruit three innate humans with a potential value exceeding eight stars. Reward: One-Click Max Level Privilege."

Recruit?

Potential must reach eight stars? Tai Cang raised an eyebrow and paused slightly.

Immediately, a cool sensation flowed into his eyes, and the System's power quietly activated. Information appeared above the heads of the children in the distance:

[Shichuan]

[Race: Innate Human]

[Potential: Four Stars]

[Musheng]

[Race: Innate Human]

[Potential: Five and a Half Stars]

[Shanyue]

[Race: Innate Human]

[Potential: Seven Stars]

Scanning the crowd, although the children in the tribe had good potential, they were still a considerable distance from eight stars.

"It seems it won't be that easy."

Tai Cang muttered to himself, withdrawing his gaze and looking at the Three Ancestors of Humanity. "Three esteemed ancestors, I plan to stay here for a while. Is that acceptable?"

Although he hadn't found suitable candidates directly, he wasn't in a hurry. Humanity was vast, and finding three individuals who met the criteria shouldn't be difficult. This reward was almost given away for free, and he didn't want to miss it.

"Of course!"

Youchaoshi nodded in agreement. "We will arrange accommodations for the immortal as soon as possible."

"However, it's getting late. Would the immortal care to join us for a meal?"

In Youchaoshi's opinion, Tai Cang was friendlier than any previous Dao impartation masters, and he carried no airs, earning his favor. The Martial Dao was of great significance to humanity, and if they could take this opportunity to strengthen their relationship, perhaps even have Tai Cang accept a few disciples, that would be even better.

"Alright!"

Tai Cang readily agreed and then looked at Cang Du. "Daoist Cang Du, why don't you join us?"

"It is my honor to accept."

Cang Du did not refuse. He understood the intentions of the three ancestors but was also worried that acting rashly might anger Tai Cang and affect the spread of the Martial Dao.

Seeing their agreement, the three ancestors were overjoyed. They were not yet familiar with Tai Cang, but with Cang Du present, they felt more confident.

Soon, Youchaoshi instructed the tribesmen to prepare a banquet and arranged for the young and strong to build a dwelling for Tai Cang.

Just as Tai Cang and Cang Du were accompanying the three ancestors to the ancestral temple, a heavy sound of footsteps came from outside the ancestral land--

Thump! Thump!

Everyone looked towards the sound and saw a youth striding over, carrying a giant demonic beast on his shoulder.

"It's Brother Shitou!"

"Brother Shitou is back!"

The children cheered and ran towards the youth. The surrounding tribesmen also showed relieved smiles:

"This kid is finally back safe and sound."

"Haven't seen him in three months, still so stubborn."

"He's been like this since he was little, can't change his temper."

Listening to the discussions around him, Tai Cang felt their concern for the youth.

His gaze fell upon the youth, and he suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

Tai Cang's steps suddenly stopped.

He was astonished to discover that the youth walking towards him was the same young man he had seen when he previously met Cang Du. This person had once single-handedly slain a Cang Immortal-level demonic beast, and was considered an unparalleled genius among humans.

What shocked Tai Cang even more was that the System automatically displayed the youth's information at this moment:

[Shitou]

[Race: Innate Human]

[Physique: Heavenly Supreme Physique]

[Potential: Eight and a half stars]

Heavenly Supreme Physique! Eight and a half stars of potential!

Tai Cang felt a surge of excitement. This was practically a gift delivered to his doorstep. If he could take this one in, one-third of the mission would be complete. With the talent Shitou had displayed, if he could cultivate the Martial Dao, he would undoubtedly shine brilliantly.
