Prehistoric World: I've Wreaked Havoc on the Three Religions, Aren't You Going to Split Up?

"Junior Brother, there's no need for that. This Humble Daoist just happened to gain some insight while teaching—truly unworthy of such a gift."

"Distribute the pills to the Human Race instead. This Humble Daoist thanks you on their behalf."

Xuandan patted Xuan Du on the shoulder and replied with a smile.

"Senior Brother, saying that makes things distant. You were born of the Human Race."

"This Humble Daoist naturally ought to offer some protection. Consider these Mysterious Sun Pills my contribution."

With that, Xuan Du hurried off, looking less like he was heading into seclusion and more like he was fleeing a flood of beasts.

Xuandan then had the current Human Race chieftain summon those with talent in cultivation to come and receive the Mysterious Sun Pills.

After all, the pills were limited in number and could only be granted to the most promising.

He wasn't a beast of burden—he couldn't spend all his time toiling over the furnace.

The chieftain soon arrived with over a dozen Human Race prodigies to collect the pills.

Xuandan's gaze swept over the assembled Humans.

Nearly all of them were on the verge of breaking through to Human Immortal.

Some, like the chieftain himself, had already reached that realm.

It was clear that the Human Race's cultivation aptitude was truly lacking.

Xuandan paid it no mind and immediately began distributing the Mysterious Sun Pills.

"Elder Chieftain, this one is yours."

"Thank you for the Immortal Master's grace!"

Only after every Human had received their pill did a voice ring out in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for gifting Mysterious Sun Pills to others. You have received a random reward!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for receiving a critical reward: Divine Ability—Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame, Clear Toxin Pill Formula, Low-grade Acquired Spiritual Root—Green Water Grass, Low-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure—Black Profound Armor...]

The system's critical reward instantly enveloped Xuandan in a wave of bliss.

What caught his attention most were the Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame and the Clear Toxin Pill.

The Clear Toxin Pill could neutralize all poisons, granting immunity for a period after ingestion.

The Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame divine ability was far more formidable than the Clear Toxin Pill by an immeasurable margin.

Once he cultivated the Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame, a blazing fire would take root within him.

That flame would start weak, merely at the level of mortal fire, but it could devour other spirit flames and grow stronger!

The Prehistoric World was home to no shortage of divine fires.

The Ten Great Divine Fires were each renowned and immensely powerful.

If he could devour them all, he might carve out a grand path forward.

Moreover, as an alchemist, a powerful divine flame would greatly aid his pill refinement.

Xuandan couldn't have been more satisfied and began to divert his attention to comprehending the divine ability.

Just then, the Humans who had received the Mysterious Sun Pills started swallowing them.

In an instant, the once-ordinary Humans became more chaotic than demons or monsters.

Panicked cries rose and fell, stirring up waves of alarm.

"Ah! Why has my hand grown so huge!"

"My hair is long enough to get in the way!"

"Sigh... my backside, oh!"

"..."

Until the chieftain, who had swallowed his pill, was suddenly engulfed in flames.

The chaos instantly fell silent.

Xuandan furrowed his brow, a look of surprise in his eyes.

He stepped closer to observe intently, quite curious.

"Huh? How is there an aura of the Fire Law?"

The burning flames gradually merged into the chieftain's body.

His eyes had turned a blazing crimson, like living fire.

At the same time, the aura he emitted was unmistakably that of an early Heavenly Immortal.

When he came to, the chieftain stared at himself in astonishment.

Noticing Xuandan nearby, he quickly bowed in reverence.

"Thank you for the Immortal's grace. The pill awakened the Fire Law Fragment within me."

"Now I seem to be able to control fire with ease."

Xuandan suddenly inquired.

"May I ask your name?"

"In reply, Immortal Master, my name is Feng Sui."

Hearing the other's answer, Xuandan first nodded, then froze.

"Feng Sui—isn't that the name of Suiren Shi?!"

The seemingly ordinary Human before him was actually one of the Three Ancestors of Humanity, the Old Ancestor of the Human Race, Suiren Shi?!

It appeared Suiren Shi had not yet drilled wood to make fire.

Xuandan's eyes lit up as he studied Suiren Shi anew.

"The Fire Law Fragment within him..."

"It seems that when Uncle Master Nuwa created humanity, she fused fragments of the Three Thousand Great Daos' laws into them, passed down generation by generation."

"The Human Race is born with a Dao Body, inherently aligned with the Great Dao, so they can inherit it."

"It appears that a Human's aptitude for cultivation is also tied to this."

Suiren Shi now also noticed the oddly shaped Humans around him.

At the same time, he was startled to find his own hair had grown ten times longer and thicker.

Fortunately, he could support it with Magic Power, so it wasn't too troublesome.

Xuandan gave an awkward laugh.

"Perfectly normal, just a side effect of the pill."

The corner of Suiren Shi's mouth twitched slightly.

But sensing that the cultivation of the Humans present had greatly advanced, he understood just how terrifying the pill's efficacy was.

Afterward, Xuandan returned to his cave dwelling to continue his secluded cultivation.

When it was Xuan Du's turn to preach, he looked at the oddly shaped Humans and shook his head helplessly.

"Alas... This Humble Daoist's junior brother."

When the sermon ended, Suiren Shi wore a contemplative expression.

The elevation of his realm and the awakening of his bloodline had sharpened his insight.

He always felt there was something very important, yet he couldn't grasp it.

So Suiren Shi spent his days atop the mountain, overlooking the development of the Human Race.

Some cultivated peacefully, some cleared away the surrounding weeds, and others hunted for food.

He suddenly froze, staring intently at those clansmen eating raw flesh and blood, and thought to himself.

"If only everyone could make fire without needing Magic Power—how wonderful that would be."

Weeds could be burned away directly, without being ambushed by venomous creatures lurking in the shadows.

Hunted food could also be roasted over flames, tasting better.

Suiren Shi gazed at the developing Human Race, his eyes dazed, sinking into a state of enlightenment.

Chapter 18: Huanglong Delivers Treasures—What Perfect Timing!

When Xuandan emerged from seclusion, he was humming a little tune.

No sooner had he left his cave dwelling than he was startled by Suiren Shi, who was deep in thought before his door.

"Why is the Clan Chief at This Humble Daoist's cave dwelling?"

Suiren Shi, his expression somewhat vacant, snapped back to reality.

His eyes gleamed with sharp light as he looked at Xuandan, and he cried out directly.

"Please teach me, Immortal Master."

Xuandan was puzzled and asked.

"Whatever doubt the Clan Chief holds in his heart, speak it freely."

Suiren Shi then recounted the scene he had witnessed atop the mountain earlier.

Xuandan fell into deep thought.

At present, the Human Race ate raw flesh and drank blood, in a completely uncivilized state.

For mortals without Magic Power to master the natural rule of making fire—

looking back through history, no one had dared to imagine it.

Xuandan invited Suiren Shi into his cave dwelling for a detailed discussion.
