You Shall Be Chang Wei, You Shall Be Chang'e

One "Slaying" character represented the Immortal-Slaying Formation. One "Execution" character represented the Immortal-Execution Formation.

As the sword formations evolved, Chen Yang's entire body filled with unparalleled sharpness. Amid that sharpness, the Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword intertwined and hummed, seeming extremely delighted.

Chen Yang also sensed that his cultivation had entered the Daluo Human Immortal Realm. Within his primordial spirit, the Pure High Immortal Art had begun to circulate, deriving a primordial spirit technique suited to him.

Chen Yang walked out from where the formations interwove and saw Pingxin standing guard. "Pingxin, thank you."

"No need. Now that you have inscribed the sword formation, the sharp sword Dao emanating from your body makes you more of a sword cultivator than those who specialize in the sword Dao." Pingxin spoke with a faint smile.

Chen Yang shook his head. "It can't be helped. Back when I first inscribed sword formations, the sharpness I gave off was mistaken for sword cultivation. After I inscribed the five elements within my body, that sword qi was neutralized. Now that I've inscribed another sword formation, that sharp sword qi has appeared again."

"You should undergo your tribulation first. With the Human Clan Fortune and merit you possess, the lightning tribulation should not be too powerful," Pingxin said.

Chen Yang nodded, turned, and vanished from the tribe, arriving in a wilderness somewhere along the Eastern Sea Coast.

After he arrived, lightning descended and spread across Chen Yang's entire body.

Chen Yang felt nothing from it. After all, due to his fortune and merit, his lightning tribulation had never been particularly powerful. Moreover, the strength of his physical body had already exceeded imagination.

Before he had met Pingxin, Chen Yang's Nine-Turn Profound Art had already entered the sixth turn.

After meeting Pingxin, they traveled through the mortal world together. He carried mountains to temper his body, while Pingxin guided him in body refinement. She sealed Chen Yang's magic power several times and taught him how to rely on his blood and qi to temper himself.

Thus, Chen Yang's physical body had advanced another step. He had completed the sixth turn, sixth level.

While Chen Yang underwent his tribulation, deep within the East Sea, on Golden Ao Island of the Jie Sect.

Biyou Palace, where Tongtian resided.

At that moment, the Immortal-Execution Sword began to hum, carrying a sense of excitement and jubilance.

The divine sword's humming made Duobao smile. "Master... it seems my disciple has also inscribed the 'Immortal-Execution Sword Formation' into his body."

Tongtian smiled upon hearing this. "Chen Yang is quite fast at inscribing formations. Not only that, he has broken through into the Daluo Realm. His physical body has also reached the sixth turn, sixth level. Not bad, not bad..."

Duobao was surprised. "I have no doubts about Chen Yang entering the Daluo Realm. After all, the Human Clan Fortune and the fortune of the Three Teachings shroud him, accelerating his cultivation. Furthermore, his cultivation method has somewhat followed the path of the Wu Tribe. As long as his physical body is strong enough, he can continue inscribing formations to break through. But Chen Yang's physical body has already reached the sixth turn, sixth level. His rate of advancement is far too fast."

"That boy Chen Yang has encountered endless opportunities. A great Ancestor Shaman is now by his side. With an Ancestor Shaman guiding his body refinement, his physical body will naturally temper much faster." Tongtian seemed to know something.

"An Ancestor Shaman? Could it be Ancestor Shaman Houtu, who has been traveling among the Human Clan? How did Chen Yang get involved with her?"

Duobao was slightly worried.

"Houtu transformed into Pingxin, and she gets along quite well with Chen Yang. Enough, you need not worry about Chen Yang's affairs. That child knows his limits and will not face danger. If he truly encounters danger, not only will I save him, but Suiren Clan, your Senior Uncle Laozi, and Senior Uncle Yuanshi will do the same," Tongtian said slowly.

"That is true. He transformed Dao Script into Human Clan Script and greatly increased the fortune of the Three Teachings. No matter what, he is one of the core figures of the Three Teachings." Duobao smiled.

Tongtian nodded, then flicked his sleeve. "Give him the Immortal-Execution Sword as well. It only causes a ruckus if it stays here."

As he spoke, the Immortal-Execution Sword flew away.

Elsewhere, Chen Yang had just passed the lightning tribulation when a killing sword came whistling toward him.

It flew at astonishing speed, shooting straight toward Chen Yang.

Chen Yang's eyes widened, yet he sensed no danger.

"Buzz, buzz..."

With a resonant sword cry, the Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword flew out from Chen Yang's body. It hummed joyfully, as though welcoming the incoming killing sword.

At last, the killing sword revealed its form, becoming an ancient divine sword inscribed with the words: Immortal Execution!

Chen Yang gazed at it and smiled. "Thank you, Grandmaster."

As he spoke, the Immortal-Execution Sword hummed and began communicating with the Slaying Immortals Sword. The two were like playmates, constantly exchanging hums.

After a long while, the two swords seemed to reach some agreement before silently entering Chen Yang's body.

After putting away the Slaying Immortals Sword and the Immortal-Execution Sword, Chen Yang quietly returned to the Human Clan tribe. Once back, Pingxin said, "Tongtian truly dotes on you. He has given you both the Slaying Immortals Sword and the Immortal-Execution Sword."

Chen Yang smiled faintly. "I am the Jie Sect's sword bearer. In the future, I am destined to command the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords of the Jie Sect."

"That is true. Since you have inscribed the Immortal-Slaying Formation within your body, it is only natural for you to wield the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords," Pingxin said.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yang and Pingxin set out once more, traveling through the mortal world.

Every dozen or so years, they would change to another Human Clan tribe. Whenever they gained some insight, they would remain in a tribe for several more years.

At present, Chen Yang and Pingxin were staying in one tribe. Like the Human Clan, they worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, as though they had completely integrated into the Human Clan.

Besides that, they taught the children how to read every day. They watched a new generation of the Human Clan be born and an older generation pass away.

Although the Human Clan lived in the Primordial World and enjoyed the nourishment of spiritual qi, those who did not cultivate still had limited lifespans. Most members of the Human Clan lived for several thousand years before exhausting their lifespan and dying.

Furthermore, many Human Clan members who hunted had even shorter lifespans. Most might die after merely several hundred years.

The Human Clan multiplied generation after generation. The older generation burned itself away to protect the birth of the next, and the next generation in turn protected the generation that followed. The cycle repeated endlessly. It was a circle, and it was reincarnation.

In one Human Clan tribe, Chen Yang had stayed for nearly a hundred years.

It could not be helped. Houtu seemed to have gained some insight and needed to enter seclusion for cultivation.

Thus, Chen Yang remained there to teach the children reading and writing.

The children he taught had already reached the third batch, and this group would soon complete their studies.

As Chen Yang packed up and prepared to leave the schoolhouse, a young girl jogged over. "Teacher... in a few days, it will be our day of baptism. Will you come?"

"Of course I will. I will also give you names then." Chen Yang smiled as he looked at the girl before him.

Upon hearing that, hesitation appeared on the girl's face. "Teacher, when you name me, could you call me Chang'e?"

"Chang'e? Why do you want such a name?" Chen Yang looked at the girl with slight confusion.

Chen Yang knew the name Chang'e very well.

The girl smiled casually. "There used to be someone in the tribe named Chang'e, and she was very beautiful. So I also want to be called Chang'e. I want to be beautiful too."

"Is that so? Fine. On your day of baptism, I will name you Chang'e." Chen Yang smiled faintly.

The girl was very satisfied and smiled. "Thank you, Teacher."

The girl then happily ran away, full of life and energy.

Chen Yang pondered slightly. It seems I was overthinking it. With how quickly the Human Clan multiplies, there are countless people with the same names, and countless women named Chang'e. Over these years of traveling through many Human Clan tribes, I have encountered more Chang'es than I can count. There is nothing strange about this girl being named Chang'e. But where exactly is the Chang'e from the myths and legends?

Chen Yang shook his head faintly, thought for a moment, and eventually laughed it off.

Several days later, Chen Yang arrived before the tribe's "Baptism Pool."

The Baptism Pool was a special pool created using water from the Human Pool.

When Chen Yang spread the Human Clan Script, he lamented that after several generations of multiplication, many members of the Human Clan had mixed bloodlines and remained ignorant and unenlightened.

Therefore, he relied on the Human Pool's divine power of purification to temper and purify the children of every tribe. It removed many impurities and mixed bloodlines within the children while also improving their intelligence.

After such baptisms, many Human Clan children became more intelligent and learned faster. Some also became suited for cultivation. As they went on to produce the next generation, the Human Clan bloodline gradually recovered its purity.

This practice earned the support of many Human Clan members.

Thus, whenever a new generation was born in each tribe, they would undergo a baptism. Over time, it became a special custom. Once Human Clan children reached the age of sixteen, they would undergo a baptism.

Furthermore, after the baptism, the children could be given names. The reason names were bestowed at sixteen was because the Human Clan multiplied too quickly, resulting in too many duplicate names. Therefore, young children had no names. Only after they reached sixteen and many elderly Human Clan members had died, leaving their names behind, could those names be used by the children. Some special names could only be obtained after meeting certain requirements.

In addition, every Human Clan tribe respected those with knowledge. Thus, the most learned person in every tribe was responsible for naming the children.

At present, Chen Yang was in charge of this task. He watched the children divide into male and female groups before entering their respective pools. The pools were separated by gender and sealed off, with diluted Human Pool water poured inside.

The pool water multiplied, absorbed spiritual qi, and tempered everyone within.

Chen Yang's eyes flickered as he looked at the children before him and muttered, "Generation after generation has undergone baptism, gradually making the Human Clan bloodline purer. It cannot compare to the first generation of the Human Clan, but it can now compare to the tenth generation."

It had to be said that this tempering, to a certain extent, allowed the entire Human Clan to undergo a kind of sublimation. That was why the Human Pool possessed boundless merit and gained a small portion of Human Clan Fortune.

Soon, many children emerged from the pools, each refreshed and emitting an immortal aura.

Chen Yang then gave every one of them a name. This tribe used "Chang" as its surname, so he named them accordingly.

"From now on, you shall be called: Chang Shan!"

"From now on, you shall be called: Chang Wei!"

"From now on, you shall be called: Chang Qing!"

After receiving names from Chen Yang, the children who had completed their baptisms cheered and left joyfully.

However, many of the children also understood that receiving a name meant they had grown into adults and would have to shoulder responsibilities.

Not long after, Chen Yang saw the familiar girl. She looked at him with expectant eyes. "Teacher, my name."

Chen Yang smiled. "From now on, you shall be called: Chang'e!"
