The Era of Human Race Cultivation

Jiang He heard someone shouting. Turning around, he saw Yue running toward him and thought the Human Race was in danger. He hurriedly flew toward her.

"What is it, Yue? Did something happen to the clan members?" Jiang He asked anxiously.

"Ah! No! Nothing happened to the clan members. I just saw what happened earlier... I was worried something had happened to you!" Yue finally voiced the worry in her heart.

Jiang He was rather embarrassed as well, having left so many people in Yue's care. "You've worked hard, Yue. I'm fine! I was just creating a cultivation method belonging to our Human Race."

Once she heard Jiang He was all right, Yue focused on the cultivation method he had mentioned. She could only absorb the power of the moon and had no combat ability whatsoever! She could only fight by instinct. These past few days, she had been hunting wild beasts alongside the clan members on instinct alone! Fortunately, their levels were high. Otherwise, they would have suffered terribly!

Jiang He brought Yue back to where the clan members had gathered. Wooden huts stood packed tightly across the plain in utter disorder! Some clan members were hunting, some were making clothes from animal hides, while some were doing what primitive humans did to reproduce!

Jiang He returned to the wooden hut he had built and summoned Da Shan, Shui, and the others he had taught before.

Afterward, Jiang He led the clan members in erecting a statue of Empress Nuwa at the place where the Human Race had been born, offering daily sacrifices to it! Based on the daily rising and setting of the Golden Crow, he established years, months, and days! The day the Human Race had been created by Empress Nuwa was designated the Human Day Festival, while the day Jiang He had been born was designated the First Year of the Era! In other words, the day Jiang He was born was the first day of the Human Race Era, while the Human Day Festival was the seventh day of the Human Race Era. (The seventh day of the first lunar month is the Human Race's birthday, in case anyone didn't know.)

Jiang He then had the clan members divide themselves into different surnames and established the ethics of human relations. After that, he imparted the cultivation method he had comprehended himself, naming it the Basic Martial Arts Method!

It contained the basic application of the different energies within each clan member's body, along with simple martial techniques! It allowed the clan members to quickly adapt to the power within them!

As time flowed onward, Human Calendar Year 89 arrived! With the completion of the first Small World, Jiang He integrated all the martial arts from the entire world, merging and evolving them into a cultivation method capable of reaching the Profound Immortal Realm. Jiang He then spread it throughout the Human Race once more! He named it the Martial Codex, which would henceforth be used to perfect all cultivation methods of the Human Race!

During this time, the Red Dust Pearl flew throughout the Human Race's territory, absorbing and organizing information from the Primordial World. Every day, it absorbed a vast ocean of knowledge and information! It was also striving to upgrade itself!

After Jiang He gave her special instruction, Yue had reached the Late Profound Immortal stage and had completely absorbed and fused the two drops of essence blood from Empress Nuwa! She also changed her surname to Feng Li Shi! Taking the opportunity, Jiang He changed his surname to Jiang Shi as well!

When Jiang He saw that Yue's Cultivation Level had caught up to his own, he could no longer sit still. Yet no matter how he cultivated, he could not break through to the Golden Immortal Realm!

Left with no choice, he continued to fleece the Heavenly Dao. Using bluestone as his foundation, he inscribed the Human Race characters for heaven, earth, human, sun, moon, stars, light... and so on. When the final character was completed, the Heavenly Dao bestowed an immense amount of Merit, allowing him to break through directly into the Golden Immortal Realm! Golden Immortals were immortal! They shared the lifespan of heaven and earth and could establish themselves as patriarchs and Dao Ancestors within a region!

Only after becoming a Golden Immortal did Jiang He understand what one truly was. One had to at least achieve minor mastery over a law before advancing to the Golden Immortal Realm! He had relied entirely on Merit to take a shortcut! After all these years, he had also figured out the power within his body. It was the supremely rigid, supremely yang Sun Fire, something said to be innately wielded only by the Golden Crow Race! After all, they were born within the sun! Yet his flames seemed to have been brought here with him when sunlight shone upon him during his transmigration!

Over the years, he had continuously drawn in the power of the sun from between heaven and earth. (He did not dare fleece it directly like Nuwa did!) He had also achieved minor mastery over the law of fire!

At this moment, Jiang He stood beside Nuwa's statue, gazing at the enormous city built ahead with the statue at its center! He could not help but feel gratified.

Ever since the Human Race's first infant had been born, Jiang He had planned to build a city! The Human Race had grown from a population of just over a hundred thousand to more than five million! In merely a few decades, their numbers had increased more than tenfold! These newborns awakened all kinds of abilities at birth! These young children possessed Earth Immortal cultivation from the moment they were born and naturally grew to the Heavenly Immortal Realm upon reaching adulthood! This greatly exceeded Jiang He's expectations!

To ensure they could grow normally, Jiang He discussed the matter with Yue. They built a city beside the great river and named it Luo Shui City, while the river itself was named the Luo Shui River! Schools were established within the city to teach the children and help them grow quickly! The vast amount of basic martial arts and foundational cultural knowledge extracted from the Small World now came in handy as well!

Squad after squad of Human Race warriors stood atop the city walls, gripping long spears as they patrolled back and forth! Every warrior possessed Late Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation! The captains had even reached the Profound Immortal Realm! Naturally, these were all elders from the first generation of the Human Race! Da Shan, Lin, Shui, and the other ten clan members with the highest cultivation from before had all entered the Mid Profound Immortal stage! After cultivating the Martial Codex, every one of them had greatly increased their strength!

The reason the clan members could improve so quickly was that Jiang He had distributed all the Merit he had received over the years to the first generation of the Human Race. This instantly gave the Human Race more than a thousand Profound Immortals, while those who had not reached that level were all at Late Heavenly Immortal Realm! This was the birthplace of the Human Race, and the blessings of Saintly Might had yet to dissipate! With the aid of these lingering blessings of Saintly Might, the Human Race's cultivation naturally soared at a tremendous pace. Once Nuwa's blessings faded in a few years, it would likely be impossible to improve like this again!

Today was the day Jiang He had announced to Empress Nuwa that the Human Race's first wedding would be held!

Jiang He took Yue's hand and came before Nuwa's statue. The clan members behind them laid out the prepared offerings, and everyone watched Jiang He and Yue excitedly, eagerly awaiting their wedding!

"Mother Goddess Empress Nuwa, bear witness! Today, I, Jiang He, and Feng Li Yue shall hold a wedding of the Human Race. This shall be a human marriage. A human marriage shall have the three letters and six rites, a proper matchmaker, and a proper wedding! Thus shall the rites and etiquette of the Human Race be established. May Mother Goddess grant her approval!" Jiang He prayed loudly before Nuwa's statue.

Buzz! Nuwa's statue radiated seven-colored light, and a single word—"Granted!"—rang out like the sound of heaven, thunder rolling and shaking the skies!

At the same time, golden light emerged in the heavens, and a great mass of Merit flew toward Jiang He and Yue!

From that day onward, Human Race weddings had a precedent! Their etiquette was further perfected! And for the Primordial World, the three marriages of heaven, earth, and humanity also perfected the order of heaven and earth!

Human Calendar Year 99!

Deep within the Blood Sea! Many bizarrely shaped beings were born beside Old Ancestor Minghe. Every female was as beautiful as a celestial maiden, seductive and enchanting; every male Asura was incomparably ugly, with ferocious faces and endless baleful aura emanating from their bodies. This was the Asura Race, created by Old Ancestor Minghe with the Primordial World's souls from the Blood Sea as the foundation and the waters of the Blood Sea as support!

"Heavenly Dao above, I am Minghe. Today, I create the Asura Race to complete the Primordial World! May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

Minghe's actions startled numerous Great Experts of the Primordial World awake! Could the Primordial World's second Saint be about to emerge? But didn't he lack Primordial Violet Qi?

Rumble! Strands of Merit filled the sky and flew toward Old Ancestor Minghe. His Cultivation Level surged directly to the Late Quasi-Sage stage... but this Merit was not enough to support his advancement into the Sage Realm!

Minghe's condition was seen by countless Great Experts throughout the Primordial World. When they saw Merit descend, they had all thought Minghe would become a Saint directly. Hehe! In the end, everyone merely got a good laugh out of it!

As a transmigrator, Jiang He understood Old Ancestor Minghe all too well. He was simply a tragic figure! Always just that little bit short!

Jiang He withdrew his gaze. The most pressing matter now was to focus on the Human Race's cultivation. He summoned Da Shan and the others, then instructed them, "Da Shan, Yue and I will soon head into the chaos to watch Mother Goddess open Wa Huang Tian. I do not know when we will return. The clan members will be entrusted to you from here on!"

"Please rest assured, Clan Leader. Da Shan will not fail your trust!" Da Shan said firmly.

Jiang He then gave further instructions regarding the Human Race's future development plans. The second generation of clan members had already grown up, and many matters could now be handed over without worry.

"Ling'er! How is the information your main body has gathered?" Jiang He thought of the Red Dust Pearl that had been collecting information among the Human Race!

"Master, over these years, Ling'er has collected all information concerning the Human Race's daily life, as well as data on every species in the surrounding regions! I can now enter my next form!"

"Oh! What form?" Jiang He asked curiously.

"My main body can now split off a Sub-Pearl to gather information in my place! My main body can continue following Master in cultivation! Furthermore, the Sub-Pearl can contact the Mother Pearl at any time. As the main body improves, it can split off even more Sub-Pearls."

Eh! Wouldn't that mean he could create an instant messaging channel? Jiang He thought to himself.

Ling'er seemed to have guessed Jiang He's thoughts. "Master, the Red Dust Pearl's greatest function in the future may be to enable communication among all members of the Human Race! That is, the instant messaging software you spoke of! Only when the Human Race communicates will the flow of information surge, allowing my main body to improve even faster!"

Jiang He immediately built a Nine-Story Pagoda in the center of Luo Shui City! He placed the Sub-Pearl at the top of the tower to absorb information! The remaining eight floors held all sorts of strange minor spells and martial techniques Jiang He had organized over the years based on information from his previous life!

At that moment, a streak of light flashed across the sky. Empress Nuwa appeared overhead, swept her hand, and took Jiang He and Feng Li Yue away!
