Three Ancestors of the Human Clan, Fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly

Primordial World, Eastern Sea Coast.

Chen Yang was somewhat curious. Since when had the Human Clan gained a land of fortune?

Xuandu seemed to understand Chen Yang's doubts and explained, "Our Human Clan has no small amount of fortune, yet we lack an object capable of suppressing it. However, by a fortunate coincidence, Ancestor Suiren and the others discovered a land of fortune capable of suppressing our Human Clan Fortune. Thus, 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 fortune could suppress the Human Clan Fortune?"

"I am not entirely clear on that either. I only know that this land of fortune is nurturing a special treasure that can become our Human Clan's treasure of fortune. Although our Human Clan has the many Saints behind us, the Saints are only responsible for imparting teachings, educating us, and sharing in the Human Clan Fortune. Their own treasures of fortune can only suppress the fortune of their sects and have nothing to do with our Human Clan. Therefore, if the Human Clan wishes to suppress its fortune, it must possess a treasure of fortune of its own," Xuandu said.

"I understand that. Still, I am curious what treasure it is nurturing." Chen Yang pondered, and an answer gradually formed in his heart.

The Human Clan's treasure of fortune—after thinking it over, there was only the Kongtong Seal.

Chen Yang had originally thought that the Kongtong Seal had long since been born and might have fallen into Laozi's hands.

But now, it seemed the Kongtong Seal had not yet been born and was still being nurtured. The land of fortune discovered by Suiren and the others might well be the Kongtong Seal's birthplace.

Thinking this, 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, follow me. That place is also a hidden land of our Human Clan."

As Xuandu spoke, he led the way ahead.

Chen Yang arranged matters for Chang'e and gave her several instructions before leaving with Xuandu.

Eastern Sea Coast, a hidden place.

A river connected to the East Sea ran through this place. Its rolling yellow sands gleamed gold, like a river of flowing gold.

Drawing closer, one discovered that the golden sands flowed with dense vitality and a heavy, ancient aura. Beyond that, a vast dragon vein lay hidden within the river.

Xuandu looked at the river. "Nephew Chen Yang... this river is called the Yellow River, and it can be considered one of the birthplaces of the Human Clan. After Lady Nüwa created humanity, the water of the Celestial River washed over her hands. After falling upon the earth, it transformed into this Yellow River. The Yellow River then connects to the sea, drawing upon the dragon vein!"

Chen Yang gazed at the river before him. "So that was it..."

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."

"Of course." Chen Yang nodded.

Very soon, Chen Yang followed the sage to the core of the mountains and rivers.

Dragon qi filled this place, Dao rhythms evolved, and spiritual qi spread out, transforming into five divine abodes and seeming to condense the Four Symbols.

Under that aura, Chen Yang sensed dense Human Clan Fortune and an equally dense Human Clan aura.

Entering deeper, he saw an enormous pit. Endless spiritual qi surged within it, radiating scorching heat and intertwining with boundless dragon qi, as though it were nurturing something.

Outside the pit sat many Human Clan sages. Their auras intertwined, and their cultivation was quite extraordinary. Yet the most terrifying were the three ancestors. They wore garments made from animal hides, their hair loose and unkempt, making them look like savages.

Yet beneath that appearance, each of them possessed a merit spiritual treasure: one bore flames, one wore clothing that shimmered with merit, and one had a wooden house suffused with merit.

Seeing the three, Chen Yang immediately knew that they were the Suiren Clan, the Ziyi Clan, and the Youchao Clan.

When the Suiren Clan saw Chen Yang approach, a smile appeared on his face. "Chen Yang... our Human Clan's Sage of Letters, 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 immensely grateful..."

"Ancestor Suiren... you praise me too highly. I was only able to create the Human Clan Script and spread it among the Human Clan by relying on the advantage of my status," Chen Yang said earnestly.

Only one's own feet knew whether one's shoes fit. Chen Yang knew perfectly well that behind his creation of the Human Clan Script stood Suiren and the others, as well as the upper echelons of the Three Teachings.

The Youchao Clan smiled faintly. "Status and such are secondary. Your talent is what matters."

After several rounds of praise,

Suiren and the others restrained their auras and turned solemn. "Let us get to the point. Chen Yang... we called you here this time in hopes that you can hasten the nurturing of our Human Clan's treasure of fortune."

"A treasure of fortune? Is it this spiritual treasure being nurtured before us?" Chen Yang asked.

"Correct. This is our future. Speaking of it, the Human Clan has the support of many Saints behind us. Yet they only offer support in exchange for spreading their teachings among the Human Clan and sharing in the Human Clan Fortune. In the end, the Human Clan Fortune must be suppressed by ourselves. But our Human Clan is impoverished and possesses no object of fortune. Thus, though the Human Clan has developed to this day, we remain weak and find it difficult to rise.

"For this reason, generation after generation of the Human Clan sought an object of fortune. We searched throughout the boundless Primordial World yet failed to find one. In the end, we accidentally found this treasure still in the process of being nurtured, granting our Human Clan a thread of life." The Suiren Clan spoke gravely.

Hearing this, Chen Yang nodded silently. "I understand the reasoning, but this treasure being nurtured before us is actually..."

"A Fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly!" The Youchao Clan did not conceal it and directly revealed the information to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang's expression shifted slightly, and a profound light shone from his eyes. "A Fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly? It is actually such a treasure, but..."

"Surprised? In truth, finding this fragment of the jade butterfly was also a stroke of fate..."

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 nurturing 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 fragment of the jade butterfly. Let the jade butterfly experience everything of the Human Clan as it nurtures the treasure, transforming it into a treasure of our Human Clan," the Ziyi Clan said.

"That is simple enough..." As Chen Yang spoke, divine light flickered within him, and the book of Elementary Learning emerged.

As the words appeared, Suiren 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 qi condensed. A vast aura spread outward, taking on a towering, rugged splendor.

Seeing this, Chen Yang followed the same gourd to draw the same ladle. He burned the flames of fortune to irrigate the spiritual treasure before him, while also pouring into it the systems and secret arts he had created over the years through the Human Clan.

With the irrigation of countless words 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 accelerate this treasure's evolution."

"Correct... This treasure is forged with humanity as its foundation. Therefore, anything viewed from the Human Clan's perspective, anything related to the Human Clan, and all of the Human Clan's accumulated heritage can hasten its formation," the Suiren Clan said.

"If that is the case... then I shall pour into it the cultivation systems I created with humanity as the foundation after comprehending countless classics through endless years, along with the Human Clan wisdom I have condensed." Chen Yang spoke earnestly, sat cross-legged, and summoned brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and the Human Pool above his head.

The 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 people to comprehend the wondrous subtleties of wisdom.

At that moment, Chen Yang poured into it 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 humanity would create in its future development. All of them were evolutions of Human Clan wisdom and could likewise hasten the birth of this treasure.

Thus, Chen Yang silently recited in his heart, using his divine sense to transform into words and irrigate this treasure.

The wisdom of countless future generations of humanity intertwined, forming innumerable classics that encompassed 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 needed to deeply understand the changes within the human body.

Thus, from the many changes within the human body, he created the Human Clan's medical arts.

In the blink of an eye, several thousand years passed.

Suiren and the others stared wide-eyed at the treasure of fortune gradually taking shape before them, strange expressions appearing on their faces.

One had to know that they had nurtured this treasure of fortune for an unknown length of time, yet it had never gradually taken shape. After all, the Creation Jade Butterfly was difficult to evolve, and the Human Clan's foundation was too meager. They could only refine it slowly.

Who could have known that after inviting Chen Yang here, its rate of formation would become so fast?

The Suiren Clan looked toward Chen Yang and could not help asking, "Chen Yang... just how many classics have you created over these years?"

Hearing this, endless wisdom surfaced in Chen Yang's eyes. "I have the amplification of wisdom and the aid of the Human Pool. I also perused the classics of the Three Teachings and the accumulated classics of the Wu Tribe, then created these classics through the changes of the Human Clan. That is perfectly normal."
