On the Shore of the Eastern Sea.
On a vast plain, the newly born Human Clan gathered by a Stream.
These first-generation Human Clan were all created from the Xirang and the Three Lights Divine Water. Although they could not compare to Congenital Deities, they were naturally born with perfect bodies and all nine orifices were open, making them quite extraordinary.
At this moment, their eyes gleamed with confusion and curiosity as they surrounded Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun stood on a boulder, gazing at the newborn Human Clan, his heart filled with countless emotions.
The first Human Clan couple born were named Huang and Wa. They bowed respectfully to Jiang Yun, and Huang said loudly, "Holy Father, the Holy Mother has allowed us to live and multiply here, but we know nothing... we don't know how to survive."
Jiang Yun nodded slightly and reached out to help them up. "You have only just been born and know very little about this world. Although you are still very weak, your potential is limitless."
I will guard you here for a thousand years, protecting and protecting you, but the way to survive is something you must first figure out for yourselves. When you truly cannot solve it, then come and ask me for advice!
Nuwa looked up, her eyes filled with hope. "Holy Father, could you show us a direction?"
Jiang Yun glanced around and slowly said, "You must first learn the most basic survival skills—covering yourselves, finding food, and drinking water."
He raised his hand and waved, and several large leaves fell, covering Huang and Wa.
"To cover the body and ward off wind and cold."
Fu looked down at the leaves on his body, then at his tribesmen, and quickly followed Jiang Yun's example, picking leaves and distributing them to everyone.
Soon, Human Clan began to use leaves as clothing; though simple, it provided some cover for their bodies.
Jiang Yun then pointed to a fruit tree not far away. "If you're hungry, you can pick some fruit to eat."
Human Clan were initially clumsy, often falling while climbing trees, but they quickly learned to cooperate, with some lifting and others picking, gradually mastering the skills of gathering.
As night fell, the Human Clan gathered around the campfire. Jiang Yun used his Magical Power to light the flames and taught them how to preserve the Fire Seed.
Huang carefully held a burning branch and exclaimed in amazement, "Holy Father, this fire... it can dispel the darkness and even cook food!"
Jiang Yun nodded. "Fire is essential for survival; you must learn to control it."
Aside from these things, Jiang Yun didn't teach anything else. He generally wouldn't get involved in anything that didn't threaten the lives of the Human Clan.
For the first hundred years, under Jiang Yun's protection, the Human Clan developed peacefully and the population gradually increased. The Yuanshi Tribe structure emerged, and at this time, women held a dominant position in order to ensure the survival of the race.
As the first generation of the Human Clan continued to multiply and the population grew, the original settlements could no longer support so many people.
At this time, the entire tribe began to split its population and expand and develop outwards in different directions.
As the Human Clan expanded their territory, they gradually encountered wild beasts, and began to face these external threats.
One day, several Human Clan had gone out to gather resources returned in a panic, covered in blood. Fu rushed forward and asked, "What happened?"
One of them pointed tremblingly into the distant mountains and forests. "There... there's a ferocious beast! It killed Mu!"
Jiang Yun frowned slightly. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he sensed a ferocious beast resembling a tiger lurking in the forest several miles away, eyeing the nearby Human Race tribe with predatory intent.
"Holy Father, please save us!" they pleaded, kneeling on the ground.
Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't solve all the dangers for you forever."
Nuwa said anxiously, "But we... are too weak!"
Jiang Yun looked at everyone and slowly said, "Since that's the case, I will tailor a cultivation method for each of you based on your individual characteristics, so that you can protect yourselves."
After a moment's thought, he combined his memories of Martial Dao cultivation from his Previous Life and quickly summarized and refined a feasible set of Cultivation Method.
He raised his hand and a stone tablet appeared out of thin air on the ground, displaying diagrams of the human body's meridians, with clear depictions of the flow of qi and blood, accompanied by graphic annotations.
"This is 'Martial Dao,' which does not cultivate the Primordial Spirit or magical Magical Power, but only tempers the Physical Body, forges the foundation, and stimulates the power of qi and blood."
Huang and Wa stared wide-eyed, carefully noting it down.
Jiang Yun continued, "The Martial Dao Entry can be divided into three realms: Body Tempering, Meridian Opening, and Aura Condensation."
"Those Body Tempering temper their skin, flesh, tendons Internal Organs, internal organs, and meridians. Once they succeed, they can use their Physical Body strength to fight against wild beasts."
Those who Meridian Opening possess qi and blood that flow smoothly through the body's Meridians, concentrating qi and blood to amplify Physical Body strength, resulting in immense power.
Those who Aura Condensation and blood into a powerful force can project it through the body, making them indestructible.
Everyone listened intently. Jiang Yun casually conjured up a human figure to demonstrate. The figure threw a punch, causing blood and qi to surge, and a boulder ten feet away shattered with a crash!
The Human Clan were deeply shocked and knelt down, saying, "Thank you Holy Father, for imparting the Martial Dao!"
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "This Cultivation Method is extremely compatible with your clan, but I can only help you deduce it up to this point. You will have to comprehend and create the subsequent Cultivation Method yourselves!"
You must remember this: As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for Self-Improvement!
"I will heed the teachings of the Holy Father!"
From that day on, Jiang Yun set aside one hour each day to teach the Human Clan martial Martial Dao.
At first, the Human Clan made slow progress, and many people could not even complete the most basic Body Tempering, but Jiang Yun was not impatient and just patiently guided them.
As the earliest Human Clan, Huang and Wa possessed the best talents. In just ten years, they entered the Meridian Opening Realm, their blood and qi were like dragons, and their strength was enough to lift a cauldron.
One day, the ferocious beast that had been lurking for so long could no longer restrain itself and roared as it charged towards the Human Race tribe.
Everyone panicked, but Huang stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Today, I will use this ferocious beast to test my Martial Dao!"
He strode forward, his blood surging, and unleashed a powerful punch!
The beast's claws tore through the air, but Huang blocked them with his arms, leaving only a white mark on his arms. Then, he retaliated with an elbow strike, hitting the beast squarely in the throat!
"Roar!" The ferocious beast roared in pain and retreated. Huang seized the opportunity to pursue, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks. Finally, a whip kick snapped the beast's spine, killing it instantly!
The Human Clan cheered and rushed forward, exclaiming, "Huang! You're amazing!"
Panting heavily, Huang grinned and said, "It's the Holy Father's Martial Dao are so powerful!"
Jiang Yun stood at a distance and nodded slightly.
As Martial Dao spread, Human Clan gradually stopped fearing wild beasts and even began to hunt actively, leading to the increasing prosperity of tribes.
Another century has passed, and the Human Clan has multiplied from the initial 129,600 to millions, scattered into several tribes.
Huang and Wa became the leaders revered by all tribes, and Martial Dao began to be perfected through the wisdom of the Human Clan, giving rise to different schools.
Through their battles with wild beasts, they summarized many techniques suitable for Martial Dao, which they called Martial Skills. By observing the wild beasts' every move, they began to explore the future path of Martial Dao.
They also learned from Jiang Yun's method of recording Cultivation Method through images on stone tablets, and began to record some of the Martial Dao methods they had discovered.
They tried carving diagrams on the cave walls to record and preserve the Cultivation Method, and they also used stone tablets for recording. Later, they found that using animal hides as paper and blood as ink was more convenient, and animal hide books began to be widely used.
They summarized the cultivation achievements of everyone for the first time, and compiled many improved Martial Dao cultivation methods into the "Martial Canon".
Another century passed, and the third martial artist of the Aura Condensation Realm appeared among the Human Clan —Lie. His blood and qi were like rainbows, and his fists were like thunder. He once fought a demon Demon Beast comparable to Human Immortal in a single battle, and his fame spread far and wide.
As more and more Human Clan cultivate Martial Dao, the race's strength on the Shore of the Eastern Sea is quite considerable. With the aura he left behind serving as a deterrent, they are able to protect themselves.
Seeing that the Human Clan had initially acquired the ability to protect themselves, Jiang Yun said to Huang and Wa, "The thousand-year period is approaching, and you should also be mentally prepared. I will be leaving soon."
Fu and Wa were greatly alarmed. Fu hurriedly said, "Holy Father, if you leave, we..."
Jiang Yun shook his head. "The path of the Human Clan must ultimately be walked by ourselves."
The Martial Dao have been taught, and the way to survive has been imparted; the rest is up to you.
And I'm not completely abandoning you; I'll find someone to look after you.
If you encounter any important matters, you may call me by my real name, and I will sense it!
Remember, my name is Jiang Yun, and I am the Vice Leader of the Western Sect of Mount Sumeru...
Nuwa, with tears in her eyes, kowtowed. "The kindness of the Holy Father will never be forgotten by the Human Clan!"
Jiang Yun smiled slightly, her figure gradually fading away, leaving only one sentence echoing in the wind:
"Remember, Martial Dao are not just about strength, but also about the mind."
The world is as vast as your heart!
