Five Emperors Era, Third Direct Disciple

Shouyang Mountain.

Shouyang Palace.

Nuwa witnessed Cangjie creating characters, establishing the entire process of the human 'literary' Dao.

"Disciple Su Mu actually helped Cangjie proactively. Cangjie then established another character. It seems Cangjie is also a person of great destiny. I should take him into the Human Religion."

Nuwa transmitted a message to Su Mu: "Su Mu, bring Cangjie to see me."

Su Mu received Nuwa's transmission and muttered to himself, "What does Teacher want Cangjie for?"

"Yes, Teacher." Su Mu turned to Cangjie and said, "Teacher wants me to bring you to Shouyang Palace."

"Empress Nuwa wants to see me." Cangjie said in surprise.

"Yes." Follow me. Su Mu led Cangjie towards Shouyang Mountain.

In Shouyang Palace, the two bowed and said, "Greetings, Teacher (Saint Mother)."

Nuwa waved her hand, signaling them to stand up. Then she turned her gaze to Cangjie.

A hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, and she smiled, saying, "Cangjie, you have done very well."

Although this sentence was simple, the affirmation and praise contained within it were obvious.

"Thank you, Saint Mother, for your praise. This is what I should do. I am very happy to be able to do something for the human race."

Nuwa spoke again: "Cangjie, are you willing to take me as your teacher?"

This sentence struck Cangjie like a thunderclap. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Empress Nuwa actually wanted to take him as a disciple! What an honor and opportunity this was!

Cangjie trembled with excitement. He knelt on both knees, respectfully kowtowed three times, and said loudly, "Disciple greets Teacher!"

His voice was filled with joy and gratitude. Becoming a disciple of Empress Nuwa was a dream come true for any cultivator.

And now, this dream had actually come true.

Nuwa smiled and nodded. She was very satisfied with Cangjie's reaction.

She believed that Cangjie would definitely become an outstanding disciple in the future, providing great assistance to the development of the Human Religion.

"Su Mu, find a Cave Dwelling for Cangjie," Nuwa said to Su Mu.

"Yes, Teacher." The two bowed and left Shouyang Palace.

Nuwa also informed Bei Xuan about taking Cangjie as a disciple, and Bei Xuan waited at the entrance of the Underworld.

Bei Xuan saw Su Mu and the other person arrive and said, "Senior Disciple Brother, you're here."

Su Mu said to Cangjie, "Cangjie, this is your Second Senior Brother Bei Xuan. Bei Xuan, this is Cangjie. We should help each other from now on."

Cangjie bowed and said, "Cangjie greets Second Senior Brother."

Bei Xuan nodded and said, "Cangjie, we are brothers, there's no need for formalities."

"That's right, Cangjie. From now on, just call us Senior Disciple Brother and Second Senior Brother when you see us."

"Also, this is my Cave Dwelling. The one next to it is your Second Senior Brother Bei Xuan's Cave Dwelling. You'll live next door to him from now on. I will create a new Cave Dwelling for you here." After speaking, Su Mu pointed his finger, and a brand new Cave Dwelling appeared next to Bei Xuan's Cave Dwelling.

Su Mu took out a Ginseng Fruit and gave it to Cangjie, saying, "You cultivate my created True Martial Scripture, right? Martial Emperor Realm (Golden Immortal) Cultivation, very good. This is a Ginseng Fruit, take it and eat it."

Cangjie took the Ginseng Fruit and said, "Thank you, Senior Disciple Brother. I will go cultivate now."

After Cangjie entered the Cave Dwelling, Bei Xuan walked up to Su Mu with a grinning face, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Senior Disciple Brother, give me a Ginseng Fruit to try."

"You," Su Mu shook his head helplessly, "How could I forget yours?"

"Thank you, Senior Disciple Brother." Bei Xuan happily took the Ginseng Fruit and returned to his Cave Dwelling to cultivate.

Su Mu also entered his own Cave Dwelling and took out another system reward he had received: Pangu's Blood Essence.

Su Mu began to absorb and refine the Pangu's Blood Essence.

As the Pangu's Blood Essence was continuously refined, Su Mu's body began to emit a dazzling light.

He felt his strength rapidly increasing, as if it were about to break through the heavens.

Suddenly, he heard a crisp shattering sound, followed by a powerful aura erupting from his body.

Su Mu opened his eyes, which flickered with surprise and joy—Golden Immortal of the Origin mid-stage realm!

At this moment, Su Mu's strength had greatly increased. He felt unprecedented confidence and power.

He knew that all of this was due to the miraculous effect of Pangu's Blood Essence.

Meanwhile, Zhuanxu, with the assistance of Daoist Duobao, governed the Human Race for nine hundred years, fulfilling his merits. He then proceeded to Mount Tai for the Feng Shan Ceremony.

Su Mu held the Kongtong Seal and said, "Zhuanxu advocated Benevolent Governance, focused on people's livelihoods, lightened the burden on the populace, and maintained social order. He should be the Great Emperor of the Human Race."

A Golden Cloud of Merit descended from the sky. Although this Golden Cloud of Merit was also vast, it was still much less than the merits of the Three Sovereigns.

The Golden Cloud of Merit quickly merged into Zhuanxu's body. Zhuanxu immediately emitted a powerful aura, and his Cultivation broke through from the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to the early stage of Golden Immortal of the Origin.

After obtaining the merit, Daoist Duobao successfully cut out his First Corpse.

Daoist Duobao's body flashed with light, and a figure identical to him emerged from within his body. This was his good corpse.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps the title has just been changed!

With the help of this merit, Daoist Duobao successfully severed his first corpse, his strength greatly increased, leaping from the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to the early stage of Quasi-Saint.

As the next successor, Di Ku accepted this important responsibility and mission.

He would continue to lead the development of human society and guide the people towards a better future.

Di Ku was deeply aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He was determined not to fail the expectations of his predecessors and to strive to advance civilization.

Biyou Palace.

Sect Master Tongtian looked at Zhuanxu's merit, which was much less than that of the Three Sovereigns.

He muttered to himself, "It seems that only by immersing oneself in the peak realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal for a long time is it possible to sever the corpse with this merit. Otherwise, this merit is not enough to sever the corpse."

Sect Master Tongtian looked at the disciple below and said, "Golden Spirit Mother, receive my command!"

As soon as the words fell, a woman with an elegant demeanor and graceful bearing walked out.

She wore a magnificent Daoist robe, a golden coronet on her head, and a treasured sword at her waist, exuding an heroic aura.

Sect Master Tongtian said solemnly, "Golden Spirit Mother, I, the Sect Master, command you to go to the mortal world to assist Di Ku and help him achieve his great undertaking."

Golden Spirit Mother replied respectfully, "Your command is my honor, Sect Master! This disciple will surely not fail the mission and will assist Di Ku with all my might."

Sect Master Tongtian nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, signaling Golden Spirit Mother to depart.

After Golden Spirit Mother bowed to Sect Master Tongtian, she turned and left.

After Golden Spirit Mother left, Sect Master Tongtian looked at her retreating back and sighed inwardly.

Golden Spirit Mother was the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, with a cultivation at the peak realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

She was also only half a step away from severing the corpse. Sending her to assist Di Ku this time was also to hope that she could sever the corpse with the help of merit.

At the same time, if the Jie Sect gained another Quasi-Saint, the Jie Sect's destiny would also increase.

Golden Spirit Mother, carrying Sect Master Tongtian's expectations, embarked on her journey to the mortal world.

She knew this was an important mission, not only related to her own future but also to the destiny of the Jie Sect.

Therefore, she decided to go all out and not let down Sect Master Tongtian's trust.

Shouyang Palace, Nuwa looked at the merit that descended after Zhuanxu's enlightenment, and frowned slightly.

Golden Phoenix, who was beside her, saw Nuwa frown and asked, "What's wrong, Empress?"

Nuwa sighed and replied, "I see that Zhuanxu's merit for proving the Dao is so little, and I am a bit worried if it will affect the future development of the human race."

Hearing Nuwa's words, Jin Feng was also stunned. She also did not know the reason.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Nuwa, "Empress, I don't know about this. However, since the Empress is worried about this matter, why not ask Su Mu? He might know the answer."

Nuwa nodded in agreement. So, they went together to find Su Mu.

Outside Su Mu's Cave Dwelling, Jin Feng called out, "Su Mu, the Empress is here."

Inside the Cave Dwelling, Su Mu stopped cultivating. "Why has Teacher come?" Su Mu got up to greet them.

After welcoming Nuwa and Jin Feng into the Cave Dwelling and seating them, Su Mu took out two Ginseng Fruits rewarded by the system.

"Teacher, Sister Jin Feng, please try these Ginseng Fruits first." Su Mu then asked, "Why has Teacher come to find Disciple?"

Nuwa explained her worries to Su Mu.

After understanding, Su Mu said, "Teacher need not worry. It is normal for the merit of the Five Emperors proving the Dao to be less than that of the Three Sovereigns proving the Dao."

"Why?" Nuwa was confused.

Jin Feng also did not understand and asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't the merit for proving the Dao be more and more? How can it become less?"

Hearing Jin Feng's question, Su Mu couldn't help but laugh.

He patiently explained, "The reason the Three Sovereigns were able to obtain a large amount of merit for proving the Dao is because they created a brand new era and established an unprecedented prosperous age."

"However, the Five Emperors only governed this prosperous age on the foundation laid by the Three Sovereigns. Although they also made certain contributions, their merit was naturally much less in comparison."

After hearing Su Mu's explanation, Jin Feng nodded as if she suddenly understood, and her understanding of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors deepened.

She couldn't help but sigh, "So that's how it is. It seems that the amount of merit for proving the Dao is closely related to the innovativeness of the deeds performed!"

Su Mu smiled and looked at Jin Feng, continuing, "That's right. It is precisely because of the pioneering work of the Three Sovereigns that human society could develop and grow.

The Five Emperors further improved and managed it on that foundation. Although their merit was relatively less, it was also an indispensable part."

Jin Feng said with emotion, "I understand. Only by continuous innovation and pioneering can more merit be accumulated."

Su Mu nodded in agreement, "That's right. We must keep working hard, bravely explore unknown fields, and make greater contributions to human progress."

Nuwa listened to Su Mu's explanation while eating the Ginseng Fruit.

After finishing the Ginseng Fruit, she said, "Alright, as long as it doesn't affect the human race, you can continue cultivating. I'm leaving."

Nuwa slowly stood up and turned to leave. Jin Feng was still talking with Su Mu, but she had not touched the Ginseng Fruit on the plate.

She first glanced at Nuwa, then shifted her gaze to the Ginseng Fruit on the plate, and finally settled on Su Mu.

Su Mu smiled and said, "Sister Jin Feng, this was prepared for you."

Hearing this, Jin Feng finally reached out and picked up the Ginseng Fruit, then quickly caught up with Nuwa.

Meanwhile, Di Ku, with the assistance of Golden Spirit Mother, governed the human race for nine hundred years, and his merit was complete. He performed the Feng Shan Ceremony on Mount Tai.
