The Formation Dao Is Truly the Way of Mathematics, Earthly Emperor Shennong Is Born
After comprehending the Innate Dream Laws of the Dao, Taiyi did not stop and continued to comprehend and refine the second source of the Laws of the Dao, the Innate Formation Dao Source.
The Innate Formation Dao Source, as the name suggests, contains the laws and principles of the Primordial Array.
The so-called array method is actually the use of the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and the characteristics of different things, to connect and form independent operating spaces.
Like the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Like Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
Like the Two Elements Dust Formation.
Like the Starry Sky Great Formation.
However, the Starry Sky Great Formation does not have an array space; instead, it uses heaven and earth as its array, possessing a majestic aura that swallows heaven and earth and encompasses the universe.
Only in this way can it become the greatest formation in the world.
If the person in charge of the formation is Heavenly Dao Sage, then the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Twelve Divine Demon Array Jidu take a backseat.
This path, however, does not rely on personal strength.
Instead, it leverages the power of heaven and earth.
The strength of a formation depends entirely on the cultivation level of the people who set it up and the strength of the treasures that make up the formation.
The art of formations can be further divided into Innate Killing Formation, trapping formations, illusion formations, bewildering formations, defensive formations, formations within formations, combined formations, positive and negative formations, and so on.
It can change in a thousand ways.
There are many more examples.
After refining this innate array Source of the Law, Taiyi began to integrate it into his own body.
As Taiyi had expected.
Integrating this 9,994th Laws of the Dao was even more difficult than imagined.
The difficulty of fusion is almost three times that of the Laws of the Dao.
This is because Taiyi originally controlled the Chaos Clock and had comprehended the Starry Sky Great Formation in advance, so he was already familiar with the Dao of Arrays.
Otherwise, Taiyi guessed that the difficulty might be more than ten times more terrifying.
Based on the previous calculation that it took 30,000 years for Taiyi to fuse and refine the Great Dream Path, it was calculated that...
It would take at least 300,000 years to integrate this essence of formation techniques!
Thinking about this, Taiyi shook his head.
"As expected, Prove Dao with Force fusing the Three Thousand Laws of the Dao is not so easy."
"I wonder how Pangu was able to master the Three Thousand Laws of the Dao as soon as he was born."
With a sigh, Taiyi was not discouraged and immediately began to comprehend the Dao of Formations.
Strands of array Dao Patterns appeared before Taiyi.
Those veins are so intricate that even the most complex lines in the world would struggle to describe them.
Triangles, quadrilaterals, slanted triangles... infinite polygons.
Triangular prism, quadrangular prism, triangular prism... infinite-angled prism.
Taiyi felt that he was not comprehending the way of formations, but rather relearning the Way of Mathematics!
It's not wrong to say that the way of formations is the Way of Mathematics.
Looking at the array patterns and lines mixed with various mathematical formulas and theorems.
Taiyi gave a helpless, bitter laugh.
I never imagined that I would transmigrate to the Primordial World, only to find that I still need mathematics to attain enlightenment.
"I should have studied math and physics back then."
After silently cursing in his heart, Taiyi plunged headlong into the ocean of mathematical lines and laws.
The patterns of array principles outline the Supreme Ultimate array, the Yin-Yang array, the Three Powers Array Four Symbols Array, the Yin-Yang array, the Yin-Yang combination array, the Seven Stars Array, the Eight Trigrams Array Nine Palaces Array, the Ten Directions Array, and so on.
All kinds of formations are contained within it.
Taiyi comprehended and absorbed the knowledge, and naturally mastered these celestial formations.
Perhaps, Taiyi will not need to unleash his supernatural powers when facing enemies in the future.
By directly connecting with the power of the laws of heaven and earth, one can form invisible and formless arrays of heaven and earth to trap, kill, and imprison enemies.
Suppress all enemies in the world.
Time flowed slowly as Taiyi cultivated.
In the blink of an eye, Shennong, the Earthly Emperor the Human Race, descended upon the Jiang River Tribe.
On this day, strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the Lieshan Shi tribe of the Jiang River Tribe, Human Race near the banks of the Jiang River.
Blue Bird carries a branch from the west, and Qilin offers a lingzhi mushroom as a gift. Celestial music floats in the air, and purple mist permeates the air.
All for a newborn baby.
This miraculous phenomenon shocked the entire Lieshan Shi's Jiang River Tribe.
It was around the time of the birth of Shennong, the Earthly Emperor.
A golden cloud fell from the horizon and descended upon the Jiang River.
"I am Daoist Duobao, the eldest disciple of the Interception Sect. I have come here to teach the Human Race."
"This child is destined to be my disciple."
"You all do this."
After speaking, Daoist Duobao ignored everyone else and directly sent a beam of the Daluo Realm into the body of the infant Shennong.
Then, they raised the Daluo Realm and returned to the Daoist temple.
Amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the people of the Lieshan Shi's Jiang River Tribe, Daoist Duobao vanished into the horizon.
The Shennong that came from the past, now known as the Lieshan Shi, has grown up peacefully under the watchful eyes of the world.
Now, Fuxi, who had previously attained the Dao and become the Heavenly Emperor, although he had already attained the Dao and achieved perfect merit, was now the Heavenly Human Emperor, bearing the destiny of the Human Race and being the leader of the unified Human Race. Therefore, he could not simply abandon the Human Race and ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
Only by finding the next Human Race leader for the human race to rule the land of the Nine Provinces can one retire gracefully and enjoy peace.
At this time, Fuxi in the Fufeng Tribe naturally also noticed the strange phenomenon of the birth of a small Lieshan Shi on the banks of the Jiang River.
I couldn't help but be very happy.
I finally have someone to carry on my legacy.
After Lieshan Shi held his coming-of-age ceremony, Fuxi overruled the objections of the majority and elected Lieshan Shi as the chief of the Nine Provinces, to manage the tribes of the world on his behalf.
This move was met with unanimous opposition from the tribal elders.
They believed that the young Lieshan Shi was not yet capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
This means that Fuxi had made up his mind.
Moreover, how could these mortals know the difference between heaven and man? They cannot be judged by common sense.
Another point is that after Fuxi attained enlightenment and became the Heavenly Emperor, he awakened his pre-heavenly memories.
He couldn't wait to return to the Heavenly Realm and reunite with his sister Nüwa.
They had no time to concern themselves with such trivial worldly affairs.
Under the witness of thousands of tribal leaders, Lieshan Shi took control of the Nine Provinces and became the first Human Race king.
Emperor Fuxi then withdrew and returned to the Heavenly Realm.
However, the delighted Fuxi did not get to go to the Wa Palace.
They were already sent into the Fire Cloud Cave by a powerful force.
Furthermore, a decree from Sage was issued: the Human Emperor Fuxi shall guard the Fire Cloud Cave and shall not leave except in the face of a great calamity for the Human Race.
Fuxi's face immediately darkened.
Good news! Goddess Nüwa knew this all along and came to the Fire Cloud Cave ahead of time to meet her brother Fuxi and comfort him.
Emperor Fuxi's complexion finally recovered somewhat.
After Lieshan Shi ascended to the throne of the Human Race, he lived up to Lieshan Shi's expectations.
He invented the Lei Si, and cultivated the five grains, laying the foundation for agriculture for the Human Race.
Thus, the Human Race truly evolved from a primitive tribe into an agricultural civilization tribe.
Food is the most important thing for people.
Lieshan Shi accomplished the task of ensuring that mortals no longer had to worry about having enough to eat.
Although Emperor Fuxi also developed animal husbandry, it was limited by human and material resources, making large-scale grazing difficult.
Therefore, every winter, a large number of tribesmen still starve and freeze to death.
The emergence of grains solved this problem of insufficient food supply.
Later, in order to solve the problem of transactions for the people, the Lieshan Shi established a trading market, which was the first of its kind.
Seeing that the people of the tribe had no clothes to wear and only covered themselves with leaves and animal skins, he taught them to process hemp into cloth so that they could wear clothes.
Later, seeing that the seven-stringed zither music composed by Emperor Fuxi was too sophisticated and had few connoisseurs, he changed it to a five-stringed zither to bring joy to the people.
To prevent wild animals from attacking the tribe, Lieshan Shi made bows from wood to intimidate the world.
Seeing that the tribespeople were struggling to make a living, he started making pottery to improve their lives.
With pottery, the tribal people could steam, boil, and cook food, as well as store items, brew wine, and disinfect.
The use of pottery improved human living conditions and had a profound impact on human diet, hygiene, and the development of medicine.
Afterwards, the Lieshan Shi established a calendar, set the stars, divided day and night, and determined the sun and moon, with each month having thirty days and the eleventh month being the winter solstice.
From then on, the people of the tribe worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, effectively cultivating crops according to the celestial stems, earthly branches, and climate.
During the several decades that Lieshan Shi reigned, the number of things he created was no less than that of the former Emperor Fuxi.
From then on, the leaders of the other Human Race were truly convinced of Lieshan Shi 'Lieshan Shi achievements and unanimously recognized them.
To distinguish himself from the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, everyone respectfully called Lieshan Shi the Earthly Emperor of the Human Race.
However, even though he already possessed the status of Earthly Emperor, Lieshan Shi could clearly sense that he was still lacking something before he could attain enlightenment.
"Master, what else do I need to do to attain the Great Dao?"
On this day, Lieshan Shi lit incense and met with Daoist Duobao, asking with a puzzled expression.
"Your great path lies within the tribe."
"Observe more, think more, and reflect more."
"The Way resides within it."
After saying this, Daoist Duobao sent Lieshan Shi back to his tribe.
In reality, Daoist Duobao was just a minor character who descended to the mortal realm to make a cameo appearance.
How could he possibly know how to verify the Earthly Emperor's Way of the Human Race?
If he knew that, he wouldn't be Daoist Duobao, but Duobao Sage.
Lieshan Shi returned to his tribe after failing to attain enlightenment.
At this moment, a person who was trembling all over and foaming at the mouth caught the attention of Lieshan Shi.
Why is this person like this?
"Reporting to the chief, this man went out to pick mulberry leaves and was bitten by a poisonous snake."
When the people of the tribe saw Lieshan Shi, they all knelt down in reverence and said respectfully.
"Let me see."
Lieshan Shi frowned slightly, disregarded the formalities, and pushed through the crowd to approach the clansman who had been bitten by a snake.
After some treatment, Lieshan Shi saved the life of this clan.
Seeing their clansmen, whose fate was unknown, come back alive and kicking, countless clansmen cheered and bowed to the Lieshan Shi in worship.
Lieshan Shi watched his clansmen singing and dancing, expressing their joy, he suddenly smiled.
Because he sensed that the Earthly Emperor's Path, which he had been searching for all this time, was right before his eyes.
Human Race are all subject to the effects of birth, death, illness, and mortal decay, which they cannot avoid.
Even the strongest warrior in a tribe will grow old one day.
Even if bitten by a snake, one will die with resentment.
Even if you get an upset stomach, you'll be on your deathbed.
This shows just how fragile the Human Race body is.
What the Lieshan Shi wanted to do was to create something to heal their suffering people.
To protect them from diseases caused by poisonous insects.
After realizing his own path, Lieshan Shi left the tribe independently and went to the deep mountains and forests to seek out herbs that could cure diseases and save lives.
