Primordial World, Eastern Sea Coast.
Chen Yang was somewhat curious. When had the Human Clan gained a Land of Destiny?
Xuandu seemed to understand Chen Yang's confusion and explained, "Our Human Clan possesses no small amount of Fortune, yet we lack an object capable of suppressing it. However, by a twist of fate, Ancestor Suiren and the others found a Land of Destiny capable of suppressing our Human Clan Fortune. For this reason, Ancestor Suiren and the others remain there year-round, unable to leave even half a step."
Chen Yang pondered slightly. "So that was it. But what kind of Land of Destiny could suppress the Human Clan Fortune?"
"I am not entirely clear on that either. I only know that the Land of Destiny is nurturing a special treasure, one that can become our Human Clan's treasure of Fortune. Although our Human Clan has the support of all the Saints behind us, the Saints only preach the Dao, educate us, and share in the Human Clan Fortune. Their own treasures of Fortune can only be used to suppress their sects' Fortune; they have nothing to do with our Human Clan. Thus, if the Human Clan wishes to suppress its Fortune, it must possess its own treasure of Fortune," Xuandu said.
"I understand that. But I am curious what sort of treasure is being nurtured." Chen Yang pondered, and an answer gradually formed in his heart.
When it came to a treasure of the Human Clan's Fortune, no matter how he thought of it, only the Kongtong Seal fit.
Chen Yang had originally believed that the Kongtong Seal had long since been born and had perhaps fallen into Laozi's hands.
Yet it now seemed that the Kongtong Seal had not been born at all and was still in the process of gestation. The Land of Destiny discovered by Suiren Clan and the others was likely the place where the Kongtong Seal was being nurtured.
At that thought, Chen Yang said, "Since the Human Clan sages wish to see me, then let us make the trip."
Xuandu nodded as well. "That is true. Nephew, come with me. That place is also a secret location of our Human Clan."
As Xuandu spoke, he led the way ahead.
Chen Yang made arrangements for Chang'e and gave her a few instructions before leaving with Xuandu.
Eastern Sea Coast, a hidden place.
A river connected to the East Sea ran through this place. Billowing yellow sands shimmered with gold, like a river of flowing gold.
Upon drawing closer, one discovered that golden sand flowed here, carrying dense vitality and a heavy, ancient aura. Beyond that, a vast Dragon Vein lay concealed within the river.
Xuandu looked at the river. "Nephew Chen Yang... this river is called the Yellow River, and it may be considered one of the birthplaces of the Human Clan. After Lady Nuwa created humanity, the water of the Celestial River washed over her hands. Once it fell to the earth, it became the waters of this Yellow River. The Yellow River then connected to the sea and drew in the Dragon Vein!"
Chen Yang stared at the river before him. "So that was how it was..."
Just then, a figure approached.
It was a Human Clan sage. "Teacher of the Human Clan, Xuandu... Ancestor Suiren and the others are waiting for you. However, Ancestor Suiren and the others are guarding the core and cannot take even half a step away. You can only go in yourselves."
"As we should." Chen Yang nodded.
Before long, Chen Yang followed the sage to the core of the mountains and rivers.
Dragon aura permeated the place, Dao rhythms evolved, and spiritual energy spread out, transforming into five divine abodes while seeming to condense the Four Symbols.
Under that aura, Chen Yang sensed dense Human Clan Fortune and an intense Human Clan presence.
As they entered the depths, they saw an enormous pit. Endless spiritual energy surged within it, radiating scorching heat and intertwining with boundless dragon aura, as though it were nurturing something.
Outside the pit sat numerous Human Clan sages. Their auras intertwined, and their cultivation was extraordinary. Most terrifying of all were three ancestors. Dressed in garments made from animal hides, their hair wild and disheveled, they looked like savages.
Yet beneath those appearances, each possessed a Merit spiritual treasure. One bore flames, one wore garments gleaming with Merit, and one possessed a wooden house suffused with Merit.
The moment Chen Yang saw the three, he knew clearly that they were the Suiren Clan, Ziyi Clan, and Youchao Clan.
When Suiren Clan saw Chen Yang approach, he smiled. "Chen Yang... the Cultural Sage of our Human Clan, we have finally met you. The Human Clan Script you created opened the civilization of our Human Clan and allowed our people to flourish. We of the Human Clan are profoundly grateful..."
"Ancestor Suiren... you praise me too highly; this junior can scarcely bear it. I was able to create the Human Clan Script and spread it among the Human Clan only because I relied upon the advantages of my status," Chen Yang said earnestly.
Only one's own family knew its own affairs. Chen Yang knew very well that behind his creation of the Human Clan Script stood Suiren Clan and the others, as well as the higher echelons of the Three Teachings.
Youchao Clan smiled faintly. "Status and such are secondary. Your talent is what matters."
After several rounds of mutual praise,
Suiren Clan and the others restrained their auras and turned solemn. "Let us return to the matter at hand. Chen Yang... we summoned you this time in hopes that you can hasten the gestation of our Human Clan's treasure of Fortune."
"A treasure of Fortune? The spiritual treasure being nurtured before us?" Chen Yang asked.
"Correct. This is our future. Speaking of which, the Human Clan has the support of all the Saints behind us. But their support is merely support; in return, they preach among the Human Clan and share our Fortune. The Human Clan's Fortune must ultimately be suppressed by ourselves. Yet our Human Clan is impoverished and possesses no object of Fortune. Thus, despite developing to this day, the Human Clan remains weak and unable to rise.
"Therefore, generation after generation of our Human Clan sought an object of Fortune. We searched throughout the boundless Primordial World, yet could not find one. Only in the end, by accident, did we discover this treasure still in gestation, allowing our Human Clan to gain a thread of life," Suiren Clan said gravely.
Chen Yang nodded silently upon hearing this. "I understand the reasoning, but what exactly is the treasure being nurtured before us...?"
"A Fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly!" Youchao Clan did not conceal it and directly revealed the information to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's expression shifted slightly, and profound light shone in his eyes. "A Fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly? It was actually such a treasure, but..."
"Are you surprised? In truth, finding this fragment of the jade butterfly was also a fortuitous coincidence..."
The Three Ancestors of the Human Clan briefly explained how they had discovered the Fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly.
"So that was it... What must I do to hasten the gestation of this treasure?" Chen Yang asked.
"It is simple. Pour the Human Clan Script you created, along with everything related to the Human Clan, into this jade butterfly fragment. Let the jade butterfly sense all things concerning the Human Clan as it nurtures the treasure, so that it may become a treasure of our Human Clan," Ziyi Clan said.
"That is simple enough..." As Chen Yang spoke, divine light flickered within him, and the book Elementary Learning emerged.
As the characters appeared, Suiren Clan and the others shouted in low voices, "Irrigate it with Human Clan Fortune..."
In an instant, Human Clan Fortune poured forth and merged into the spiritual treasure being nurtured before them. As they fused, rolling spiritual energy condensed. Vast aura spread outward, revealing towering majesty.
Seeing this, Chen Yang followed suit, using flames that burned Fortune to irrigate the spiritual treasure before him. He also infused into it the systems, secret arts, and methods he had created over the years through the Human Clan.
With the irrigation of countless characters and Human Clan Fortune, the treasure before them began to take shape at an accelerated pace.
Seeing this, Chen Yang could not help saying, "It seems that anything connected to the Human Clan can hasten this treasure's evolution."
"Correct... the refinement of this treasure is founded upon humanity itself. Therefore, anything viewed from the Human Clan's perspective, anything related to the Human Clan, and all accumulations of the Human Clan can hasten its formation," Suiren Clan said.
"If that is the case... then I shall pour into it the cultivation systems I created over countless years by studying innumerable classics with humanity as the foundation, as well as the wisdom of the Human Clan that I condensed." Chen Yang spoke earnestly, sat cross-legged, and caused brush, ink, paper, and inkstone to appear above his head, along with the Human Pool.
Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone formed Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, enhancing Chen Yang's wisdom.
The Human Pool ignited the flames of everyone's wisdom, allowing all to comprehend the subtleties of wisdom.
At that moment, Chen Yang poured in the cultivation systems, divine abilities, secret arts, killing formations, and classics he had created over the years through the Human Clan...
Not only that, Chen Yang recalled the countless classics that humanity would create in its future development. Those were all evolutions of Human Clan wisdom and could likewise hasten this treasure's birth.
Thus, Chen Yang silently recited in his heart, using divine sense to transform them into words and irrigate this treasure.
The wisdom of countless future humans intertwined, forming innumerable classics involving the Legalist School, Daoist School, Mohist School, Confucian School, School of Yin-Yang, Agriculturalist School, Storytellers' School, School of Diplomats, Military Strategist School, Medical School...
The evolution of these many classics was also the result of Chen Yang's idle pastime over the years. To study the Human Clan's cultivation systems, he naturally had to gain a deep understanding of the changes within the human body.
Thus, from the many changes of the human body, he created the medical methods of the Human Clan.
In the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.
Suiren Clan and the others were dumbstruck as they watched the treasure of Fortune before them gradually take shape, strange expressions appearing on their faces.
One had to know that they had nurtured this treasure of Fortune for who knew how long without it gradually taking form. After all, the Creation Jade Butterfly was difficult to evolve, and the Human Clan's foundation was too meager, leaving them no choice but to refine it slowly.
Who could have known that after inviting Chen Yang here, its rate of formation would become so swift?
Suiren Clan looked toward Chen Yang and could not help asking, "Chen Yang... over all these years, just how many classics have you created?"
Upon hearing this, endless wisdom surfaced in Chen Yang's gaze. "I possess enhanced wisdom and the assistance of the Human Pool. I also studied the classics of the Three Teachings and the accumulated classics of the Wu Tribe, then created these classics through the transformations of the Human Clan. That is perfectly normal."
