These three great inventions, seemingly basic, completely changed the way Human Clan lived, propelling them from primitive tribal stages of eating raw meat and drinking blood to a more civilized City-State Era.
Their benefits extended beyond the Human Clan itself. The Method of Nest Building provided a template for some weak races in the prehistoric Primordial World who were still in a primitive state and whose intelligence was only slightly developed. The Art of Fire Control was quickly imitated and mastered by some tribes among the myriad races of the Primordial World who were just beginning to understand wisdom. The Skill of Clothing inspired many Form Transformation beings to have a preliminary understanding of "appearance".
This action aligns with the Fundamental Rules of Heaven and Earth and has stirred up a mighty torrent of Dao of Humanity!
Heavenly Dao, Dao of Humanity rewards virtue.
A vast amount of Dao of Humanity Merit gathered from the Endless Void, like a golden waterfall, and poured into the bodies of the three sages!
Their bodies were reshaped by the Merit Golden Light, their Mortal Aura vanished, and their Daoist charm flowed endlessly. Their momentum rose steadily, and right before everyone's eyes, they went from Mortal Martial Body to directly attaining the Great Luo Dao Fruit!
The Golden Light also permeated their artifacts: the house-building tools and the first "nest" relied upon by Youchao, the Well-worn Wooden Drill used by Suiren to start fire and the First Spark of the Way of Man, the bone needles and stone awls used by Ziyi for Cutting and Sewing, Direction-Guiding Bone Needle and Stone Awl, and the First Finished Garment —all were refined by the immense Merit, transformed into Spiritual Treasure of Fortune that Carrying the Brilliance of the Way of Man, radiating a warm yet powerful Creative Power.
In an instant, the Human Clan possessed three powerful Daluo Golden Immortal standing at the Upper Echelons of the Primordial Desolation!
This is not merely a boost to strength, but a sign that the Racial Fortune has been completely stabilized and Rise of Civilization!
The significance of the Human Clan in the eyes of all the Primordial World forces suddenly changed.
The news that the Three Ancestors of the Human Race had all attained the Great Luo quickly spread to the ears of all the major powers in the Primordial World.
Whether they are immortals, demons, Witch Remnants, or those who cultivate in seclusion in Cave Abode, they all have to re-examine this race that was once regarded as a weak ant but is now Flourishing Fortune.
In an era when the Era without Witch and Demon conflicts, the three Great Luo Immortals of the Human Clan were quite intimidating, especially since the Human Clan also had Jiang Yun, the Third Sect Leader of Western Teachings, and the Saint Zhen Yuan Longevity Mountain, standing behind them. Ordinary races simply did not dare to provoke the Human Clan.
Within the Human Clan, the rise of the Three Ancestors and the immense Fortune of the Way of Man brought about by the large base population have led to a rapid increase in power. After several calamities, the Human Clan's way of life has also undergone profound changes.
Inter-tribal connections became closer, Spark of Civilization spread rapidly outward from the Core Tribe where the Three Ancestors were located.
New and more robust earthen and wooden houses, techniques for preserving and using fire, and finer Hemp and Kudzu Clothing and Fur Garments quickly replaced the backward ways of life of the past.
With their survival no longer a concern, many ordinary people began to look up at the Starry Sky and contemplate their own existence during their spare time from work. They started using knotted ropes to Knot-tying for Record Keeping, carving books and taking photos to preserve memories, and the Seeds of civilization began to be sown.
More importantly, having mastered Construction Techniques, the Human Clan began to build larger settlements along rivers and near resource-rich areas, even beginning to resemble Cities.
On the other hand, with the painstaking efforts of Haotian and Yaochi, and the active or passive participation and support of Various Saint Factions, the Heavenly Court has begun to show its Expected Grandeur.
With the addition of Tongtian's numerous disciples, many cultivators from the Western Teachings who volunteered to serve in the Heavenly Court, and many Star Lords from the Star Academy, the various departments of the Heavenly Court were no longer in dire need of manpower as they had been before.
Although the former glory of the Demon Court's heyday has not been restored, the scene of Divine Generals clad in armor, Immortal Soldiers in imposing ranks, Palaces with Attendant Maidens Coming and Going, and Strongmen shuttling back and forth has already taken shape, faintly revealing the aura of ruling over all the heavens.
Especially after the Queen Mother of the West moved into the Queen Mother's Immortal Palace, the Female Immortal System was perfected, and the elegant Immortal Light and the magnificent aura of the Heavenly Court complemented each other, adding a touch of noble beauty.
The Heavenly Court astutely recognized the Opportunity for the Rise of the Human Race and proactively extended an olive branch.
Although Haotian did not know that the Human Clan was the Protagonists of Heaven and Earth, the fact that many Saint paid attention to the Human Clan and had intricate connections with this Human Clan was enough to tell that the Human Clan was not simple. After the Witch-Demon and the Demon King, their race would definitely become an indispensable part of the Primordial World Order.
Now, while they are still weak, we should cultivate goodwill and show them kindness, which may help them establish a preliminary foundation for the Heavenly Court's Authority in the Mortal Realm.
He dispatched his trusted confidant, Grand White Gold Star, carrying a Heavenly Court's Goodwill and some Basic Yet Practical Weather Control Techniques, to descend upon the Human Ancestral Land.
Grand White Gold Star, holding the Haotian's Jade Edict, formed an alliance in the presence of the Human Clan leaders and tribal Clan Leader.
Since the Heavenly Court Orthodoxy Appointed by the Dao Ancestor, Grand White Gold Star, representing the Heavenly Court, also announced some assistance to the Human Clan's allies:
His Majesty the Jade Emperor decrees: In gratitude for the Human Clan's Self-Improvement on the Primordial Desolation Earth, their creation of a way of survival, Benefiting All Beings, He hereby dispatches minor deities to assist in ensuring favorable weather and abundant harvests in the human race's territory.
Where Human Clan dwell in peace, the Heavenly Court shall do its utmost to ensure a balanced rainfall, Orderly Seasons, and reduced natural disasters, so as to help you recuperate, thrive, and multiply!
This news caused a huge reaction among the Human Clan.
Human Clan had just tasted the sweetness of food and clothing and the stability of life, and who now deeply understood the harm of natural disasters, were all moved to tears of gratitude.
For the wise men of the Human Clan, this symbolized the beginning of recognition and cooperation.
Suiren, being the most prestigious of the three Daluo Golden Immortal, personally Human Clan and went to the Heavenly Court.
The Haotian Shangdi and the Yaochi Golden Mother Personally Welcome Suiren at the Lingxiao Palace, and the two had a very pleasant conversation.
Haotian looked at Suiren. Although the person before him was not as powerful as himself, his Merit and Fortune were not to be underestimated.
"Fellow Dao of Humanity Suiren, the Human Clan's Drilling Wood for Fire is the guiding light for the enlightenment of all races in the Primordial World, and I deeply admire it."
The Heavenly Court was established to Maintain the Moral Order of the Primordial Desolation, and it is also my responsibility to Prosperity of the Way of Man.
From now on, the Heavenly Court will keep a close eye on the affairs of the Human Clan, and will promptly communicate and exchange information if needed.
Suiren returned the greeting with clasped hands, expressing his sincere gratitude, and said:
Heavenly Emperor your concern, Your Majesty Emperor.
Human Clan was blessed by Grace of Heaven and Earth for its survival, and by the Blessing of the Dao Ancestor for its birth in the Three Realms.
His Your Majesty dispatched Immortal Official to help our people Regulate Wind and Rain; such kindness will be forever remembered by all of the Human Clan, and we only wish for Peace in the Primordial Desolation in the future.
The Heavenly Court Protects the Three Realms and maintains the Order and balance of heaven and earth. Human Clan has a close relationship with the Heavenly Court and should continue to contribute its share in the future.
His words were sincere, conveying Human Clan's gratitude to the Heavenly Court, and he still felt a great deal of goodwill towards this Newly Established Heavenly Court.
Although no specific Contract was signed, the visit of Suiren and the cooperation and consensus reached between the two sides on Maintain Heaven and Earth Order became a good Communication Link between the Heavenly Court and the Human Clan.
Although this "Heaven-Human Covenant" is intangible, it uses the Fortune of the Way of Man and the Fortune of the Heavenly Court as its brush, leaving a clear mark on the long scroll of the Primordial World Scroll of Order.
Throughout the entire Primordial World, all parties, whether actively or passively, were adapting to a Brand New Era.
Although the Heavenly Court's reach has not yet covered all regions, its majesty and Order have been initially established through the operation of the Circulating Stars and strategies such as the Peach Banquet to attract all immortals to submit, thus establishing its nominal dominant position and beginning to expand outwards in a substantial manner.
Meanwhile, the Human Clan quietly accumulated strength through dedicated construction, using favorable timing, geographical advantages, and their own wisdom to ignite an ever-growing number of Civilization's Flames across the Primordial Desolation Continent.
___________________________________________________________________
In this Boundless Chaos, even spacetime has lost its stable measure.
One of the areas shrouded in Powerful Will is the Cloud Bamboo Palace, which Jiang Yun created with his Great Magic Power in the past.
Inside the palace, Jiang Yun sat quietly in meditation. His figure was ever-changing, sometimes as illusory as Chaos itself, and sometimes as solid as the Origin Point of World Creation.
Around him, two vast, profound, yet distinct World Origin Power were undergoing Deep Fusion.
Firstly, there is the Initially Created Inner Space, which gradually Evolved Natal World.
This origin is vast and boundless, containing all his understanding and accumulation of the Tao, and is radiating Vigorous Creative Vitality.
Secondly, there is the Spatial Dao Marks originating from the Chaos Demon Gods, which was later completely refined by Jiang Yun through seizing Willow World opportunity.
This primordial energy is imbued with the profound, folding, penetrating, and encompassing characteristics of space; it is mysterious and ancient.
At this moment, the integration process has entered its most critical sprint stage, with progress exceeding 90%.
The origins and Laws of the two worlds no longer clashed chaotically. Instead, under Jiang Yun's will, they spontaneously arranged and combined to construct the Embryonic Illusions of Microscopic Worlds.
The Spatial Dao Principles once belonged to the Hollow Willow were completely analyzed, absorbed, and integrated by Jiang Yun's original world, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
The Boundary Between Void and Entity is blurred here, and the Flow of Time becomes obscure and unpredictable.
As Jiang Yun's aura merged with the world, it underwent a qualitative transformation at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A vast aura, Transcending the Saint Realm, began to faintly appear within him, though it remained highly unstable.
He has now stepped halfway into the realm of the Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal. Although his aura is still immature, his essence is already different from those Saints. He is qualified to stand on equal footing with the Saint of the Primordial Desolation Heavenly Dao Hongjun Dao Ancestor and the Ancestral Witch Houtu Controls Reincarnation.
With only the final Tempering and Finalization, Jiang Yun's mind was as calm as an ancient well, and all his energy was devoted to controlling this final fusion process.
He could clearly sense that the moment the two worlds were completely integrated and Perfect Harmony would be the moment when he truly reigned supreme above the Saint Realm and possessed the power to directly contend with the top beings of the Primordial World.
Facing Hongjun and Houtu, who have the Home Ground Advantage of the Primordial Desolation World, one must have an advantage in cultivation to have enough confidence.
Before Jiang Yun, the Spirit Bamboo that Infused with the Origin of the Hollow Willow was undergoing its final transformation. Each pulse containing the Rhythm of the Great Dao caused the entire space of the Dao Field to tremble slightly. A Vast World Independent of the Primordial Desolation Heavenly Dao was gradually stabilizing under its framework.
In an instant, a streak of emerald light ignored the violent obstruction of the Chaos Sea, pierced through layers of Spatial Barriers, and arrived at the Cloud Bamboo Palace Dao Field.
As if sensing something, Jiang Yun released the Restriction outside the palace, and a stream of light immediately entered between Jiang Yun's eyebrows.
A massive torrent of information surged forth, and the flowing light was the Latest News from the Primordial Desolation transmitted by the Spirit Gourd Daoist Traversing Space-time.
The information confirmed Jiang Yun's premonition; indeed, a great change had occurred in the Primordial World.
After his series of actions, the overall Great Trend of the Primordial Desolation had changed considerably, and the antagonism between the Witch-Demon had subsided, with each focusing on their own Future Development of Their Clans plans.
However, after he left the Primordial World, the situation inevitably slid back to its Original Trajectory.
Ten Suns in the Sky, Kuafu Chases the Sun, Da Yi Shoots the Suns, Buzhou Mountain Collapses, and Saints Mend the Heavens...
One thing after another, the events unfolded as expected. Then came the Tragic Decisive Battle of Witch and Demon, in which Di Jun and Dijiang both perished, and Majority of Witch and Demon Forces were almost wiped out.
Led by Changxi and Xihe, the Remnants of the Demon Clan Fled into Chaos; the Witch Clan, led by Jiu Feng, Returned to Pangu Hall and secluded themselves. The Heavenly Court Re-established, with Haotian and Yaochi receiving Edicted by the Dao Ancestor charge. The Six Earthly Dao Saints returned to their positions: the Minghe River suppressed the Blood Sea, the Lord of Mount Tai Prefecture Lord Manages Life and Death, the Great Emperor Fengdu Controls Reincarnation, the Ziwei Star Lord ranked the Stars, and Xuanming guarded the Northern Darkness, their power overwhelming all...
What is most moving is the tenacious recovery of the Human Clan after the massacre. Under the leadership of three outstanding figures, Suiren, Ziyi, Youchao, the flame of the Human Clan spread from sparks to wildfire, bringing new life to the Primordial Desolation Earth.
Jiang Yun slowly opened her eyes, a barely perceptible ripple passing through those eyes that contained the essence of Dao.
The state of mind of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal was also slightly affected by this familiar script.
His gaze turned toward the Primordial World, as if traversing endless time and space, and he saw Western Mount Sumeru.
"So that's how it is... Everything is still sliding towards that trajectory." A deep voice echoed in the Silent Dao Field, carrying a hint of understanding and a sigh.
The changes that Spirit Gourd Daoist Mount Sumeru not elaborate on in the message, however, caught his special attention.
"The Two Religious Leaders of the Western Region Zhunti Jieyin..." Jiang Yun murmured the name, recalling the times they had worked together and meticulously planned for the same goal, and the Deep Master-Disciple Affection that had swept through his mind.
The image of Jieyin and Zhunti, who once worked tirelessly and Zhunti to achieve prosperity in the Western Barren Land, is still vividly imprinted in Jiang Yun's mind. This contrasts sharply with their current indifferent, aloof, and arrogant demeanor.
"Having attained the Hunyuan, and with their Primordial Spirit residing in the Heavenly Dao, the saints seemed to have acquired a different heart."
This change had already begun to emerge when he last left Mount Sumeru and entrusted the Spirit Gourd Daoist with his duties.
At that time, the two saints merely nodded indifferently in response to his departure and arrangements, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you may go and explore the Great Dao. Mount Sumeru will be taken care of by us." The polite distance and indifference beneath that politeness had long replaced the heartfelt sincerity and enthusiasm they had shared when discussing great undertakings.
The messages that Spirit Gourd conveyed repeatedly confirmed this change: the two saints' involvement in Internal Sect Affairs decreased sharply, they mostly remained on the sidelines during the Tribulation Conflicts, and even failed to secure the due benefits for the Western Teachings or the Western Region beings at crucial junctures.
Thinking back on the past, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
The Spiritual Roots Manifested as Rain, and the Spirit Formation was laid. Back then, Jiang Yun almost single-handedly planned and meticulously Transformed the Barren West into a Spiritual Haven, helping the two saints to achieve perfect enlightenment.
He owes at least half the credit for the Foundation of the Western Teachings Today!
However, before he went to the Chaos to seek the Dao, the Witch-Demon Tribulation Paused. It was a crucial moment to reorganize the religious order, unite people's hearts, consolidate the foundation, and strive for progress again. The two Saint seemed to have already retired after achieving their goals, only looking down on all living beings from their Sainthood, without thinking of making any progress.
Judging from the Two actions, it is clear that the Way of Entrusting Nascent Soul to the Heavenly Dao to the erosion of one's true nature, gradually makes people become increasingly heartless!
The Path of Seeking the Dao truly makes it difficult to maintain one's original aspiration!
