Rewriting the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Era: Section 11

"From now on, let the Clan Assembly be held here. My dwelling is protected by merit, making it not only safe but also preventing others from eavesdropping. It's the most secure option," Da Chao said.

"Alright, then thank you, Brother Da Chao." Jiang Haofeng didn't stand on ceremony. After all, among humanity, only Da Chao's dwelling could conceal heavenly secrets.

"It's a small matter. We are all humanity, no need for thanks. Having my dwelling become the place where the Human Clan Assembly is held will also bring me prestige."

"Right, now that it's the place for the Human Clan Assembly, this dwelling should have a name. Haofeng, you're knowledgeable; help me pick one."

Jiang Haofeng pondered for a moment. "This is where the Human Clan Assembly convenes, the core of humanity's power. How about calling it the Ancestral Pavilion? The Human Ancestral Pavilion, representing the beginning of humanity, the source of humanity!"

Da Chao's eyes lit up. "That's a great name! Ancestral Pavilion, Human Ancestral Pavilion!"

Humanity's first Clan Assembly concluded perfectly, establishing the Human Clan Assembly system, defining humanity's overt and hidden branches, and formally setting the tone for humanity's development.

After the assembly concluded, Jiang Haofeng and Suiren, along with two others, gathered the remaining two thousand nine hundred and fifty Innate Humans. These Innate Humans were created by Empress Nuwa's human-creation whip, and their innate origins were far weaker than the initial fifty Innate Humans.

They were born with only True Immortal realm cultivation, and even after using merit, they only advanced to the Mystic Immortal realm. As Jiang Haofeng expected, all two thousand nine hundred and fifty Innate Humans used merit to improve their cultivation.

After clearly explaining the benefits, Jiang Haofeng took out the draw lot container from before, drew a wooden stick, and then distributed the sticks equally, dividing the Innate Humans into two groups.

One day later, in the area where Nuwa had set up a barrier, specifically a hundred thousand li radius centered on Central Phoenix Mountain, all the human tribes migrated outwards. Under the protection of Suiren, Da Chao, and Zhisheng, they found new habitats.

Suddenly, only three thousand Innate Humans remained around Central Phoenix Mountain, as if returning to the time when Empress Nuwa had just created humanity.

Outside the Human Ancestral Pavilion of Central Phoenix Mountain, countless humans sat on the ground. Jiang Haofeng sat in the middle of the crowd, while outside, there were twenty-four members of the hidden branch, including Xuandu, Dating, and Zunlu, along with one thousand four hundred and seventy-five Mystic Immortals of the hidden branch.

Beyond them, the fifteen hundred members of the overt branch watched curiously from the surroundings. Although they couldn't learn, it didn't stop them from watching and gaining knowledge, so they could be prepared if they encountered the Witch Tribe in the future.

Further out were three hundred thousand geniuses selected from the major human tribes, who would also be part of the hidden branch in the future.

Jiang Haofeng surveyed the dense crowd of humans around him and, without further ado, began to speak.

"The Way I will impart today is a cultivation method inspired by the Witch Tribe. I call it—Martial Dao!"

"Human Martial Dao!"

"In worldly cultivation, there is a distinction between Dao and Art. Dao refers to cultivation, the foundation of practice. Art refers to divine abilities, the techniques to protect the Dao!"

"Possessing only cultivation without the techniques to protect the Dao, lacking means of attack and defense, will inevitably lead to destruction. Practicing only divine abilities without cultivation, with insufficient cultivation, will forever be estranged from the Great Dao, ultimately sinking into endless time."

"For any cultivator, both cultivation and divine abilities are indispensable. Only by advancing them hand in hand can one seek the Great Dao and achieve the Hunyuan stage!"

"Today, I shall impart one volume of the Martial Dao True Scripture, which is the method for cultivating Dao. The Martial Dao True Intent is one, and the nine Martial Dao divine abilities are the techniques to protect the Dao!"

"Today, we will first discuss the Martial Dao True Scripture. This scripture is a method I created by observing the Witch Tribe's Nine Revolutions Profound Art. It can be cultivated without requiring Witch Tribe bloodline. Upon completion, its power will be eighty percent that of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, even stronger than the simplified version of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art!"

"I call it—the Nine Tribulations Martial Scripture!"

"To cultivate this technique, one must pass through a tribulation for each level advancement. With each tribulation passed, one can enhance their origins, strengthen their physical body, and condense the Nine Tribulations True Body!"

"Once the True Body is formed, one will have steel muscles and bones, be impervious to water and fire, and immune to all arts!"

Jiang Haofeng's steady voice resonated. The surrounding Innate Humans listened intently, not daring to slacken in the slightest.

The Nine Tribulations Martial Scripture was humanity's version of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, and the Nine Tribulations True Body was humanity's version of the Undying Witch Body!

Jiang Haofeng's lecture lasted for ten years, covering the Nine Tribulations Martial Scripture from the first to the sixth level, with each level explained in great detail.

"We conclude the Nine Tribulations Martial Scripture here. Everyone, go back and digest it well. In a thousand years, I will lecture on the Martial Dao True Intent!"

As Jiang Haofeng's voice faded, he announced the end of the first martial lecture.

Following Jiang Haofeng's words, the surrounding Innate Humans awoke and respectfully bowed to Jiang Haofeng in unison.

"Thank you, Ancestor Haofeng, for imparting the Dao!"

At the same time, a mysterious realization surged into their hearts. Imparting the Dao to humanity was a great merit to the Heavenly Dao. After the Profound Cultivation, True Intent, and divine abilities were fully taught, merit would descend.

Jiang Haofeng's expression was calm. Imparting the Martial Dao and having Heavenly Dao merit descend was part of Jiang Haofeng's plan. When the Grand Pure Sage established the Humanity Teaching and imparted the Dao to humanity, Heavenly Dao merit descended, allowing him to achieve sainthood.

Jiang Haofeng imparting the Martial Dao would naturally result in merit descending.

As for whether it would offend the Grand Pure Sage or delay his achievement of sainthood, that was impossible. Humanity wasn't limited to cultivating only the Martial Dao; the Immortal Path could also be cultivated. Moreover, the overt branch humans still lacked cultivation methods.

Furthermore, that was a Sage imparting the Dao, an unparalleled opportunity for Jiang Haofeng to hear a Sage lecture. It was a chance he had awaited for five eons.

When Jiang Haofeng led the hidden branch humans to listen to the lecture, with three thousand humans gathered, it wouldn't affect the Grand Pure Sage's establishment of the teaching and achievement of Dao. At most, the Grand Pure Sage would be unable to claim all the merit for educating humanity.

After the lecture ended, everyone began to enter seclusion, practicing the newly learned Nine Tribulations Martial Scripture. The Innate Humans were doing well, as they already possessed cultivation. Their practice was relatively easy, and their progress was rapid. However, the three hundred thousand later-born humans lacked cultivation, making their progress extremely slow. But slow or not, their cultivation was at least increasing, opening up new possibilities for the future.

Meanwhile, in Purple Firmament Palace, Ancestor Hongjun's gaze fell upon Jiang Haofeng once more. "A variable, interesting."

"Overt and hidden branches…"

Ancestor Hongjun raised a finger, and Daoist Taiqing, who was traveling in the Primordial Era, suddenly felt a profound connection. The Hongmeng Purple Qi deep within his soul vibrated gently.

Daoist Taiqing's eyes lit up. An opportunity to achieve sainthood!

A mysterious Taiji Diagram appeared above Daoist Taiqing's head. As the Taiji Diagram spun, the surrounding space instantly blurred, and Daoist Taiqing vanished.

Concurrently, near humanity, Daoist Taiqing appeared in humanity's territory, riding a green ox.

"Hmm, these are the humans created by Junior Sister Nuwa. Is my opportunity to achieve sainthood here?"

The green ox slowly walked forward, and Daoist Taiqing, riding on its back, observed the surrounding humans.

A moment later, after communicating with Nuwa, the Grand Pure Sage rode the green ox into the Human Ancestral Land.

At this time, fifteen hundred Innate Humans and three hundred thousand later-born humans were practicing the Nine Tribulations Martial Scripture. Powerful blood and Qi resonated in all directions, resembling a large Witch Tribe settlement.

"Huh, the Nine Revolutions Profound Art?"

"No, it's a little different, it's been modified."

"What exquisite methods. The modified Profound Cultivation is very suitable for the humanity before me."

"The Witch Tribe, the Martial Dao, so that's how it is!"

"To spread the teachings to humanity, the manifest and hidden lineages, I understand now. My Dao is complete!"

As the voice faded, a vast aura swept out, and a dense clear light enveloped heaven and earth. The Daoist Taiqing's body slowly rose, his imposing aura sweeping across the Primordial Era.

"I am Taiqing. Seeing that humanity has no methods for cultivation, I now establish the Humanity Teaching. I shall suppress the luck of the Humanity Teaching with the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, and bestow creation upon humanity. I pray the Heavenly Dao bears witness!"

As the voice fell, a pillar of vast merit descended from the heavens. It was about thirty percent of the merit Empress Nuwa received when she achieved Sainthood. However, this merit directly flowed into the Daoist Taiqing's body, not being distributed elsewhere.

With the merit of establishing the teaching entering his body, the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Daoist Taiqing's mind instantly transformed into a purple light and merged into his body. At the same time, the vast Mysterious Yellow Qi swept out and, along with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, entered Daoist Taiqing's body.

This was precisely the merit of creation hidden within the Three Pure Ones, truly Great Dao Merit, its profundity far surpassing Heavenly Dao Merit.

Daoist Taiqing's aura surged layer by layer. In a moment, a terrifying pressure that transcended all things swept across the entire Primordial Era.

Purple qi surged in the void, and endless anomalies spread throughout the Primordial Era.

The second Heavenly Dao Saint in the Primordial Era had returned!

"Greetings, Saint Taiqing!"

Congratulations resounded from all over the Primordial Era, and countless beings respectfully bowed to Saint Taiqing.

On Central Phoenix Mountain, Jiang Haofeng stared shocked at the elder with the terrifying aura in the void, immediately bowing respectfully without daring to be negligent.

After all, there were only two Saints on humanity's side: Empress Nuwa and Saint Taiqing. They absolutely could not afford to offend either of them.

Although in the original history, these two did not intervene to help humanity, they also didn't harm humanity.

Furthermore, it was precisely because of their presence that humanity had been passed down through the Primordial Era, becoming the protagonists of the Eternal Heaven and Earth, spreading throughout the Primordial Era. Although they didn't truly hold the status of protagonists of Heaven and Earth.

At least they could survive peacefully.

Of course, the most important thing was that both of them were Saints, possessing immense power. A casual slap could kill Jiang Haofeng. Before possessing the strength to contend with Saints, showing basic respect to Saints was common knowledge in the Primordial Era.

"In five hundred years, I will preach on Shouyang Mountain, teaching the Immortal Path. All of humanity may come to listen!"

As the words fell, Saint Taiqing's figure vanished instantly, and the holy might permeating the void also dissipated.

After a long while, the group of Innate Humans finally recovered from the overwhelming terrifying pressure. They gathered in the Human Clan Assembly Hall.

"Haofeng, is this the Daoist Taiqing you mentioned?" Da Chao asked with a face full of longing.

"What Daoist Taiqing? This is Senior Uncle-Master Taiqing. Don't be disrespectful!" Jiang Haofeng was immediately startled. They couldn't just call him Daoist Taiqing.

"Right, right, Senior Uncle-Master Taiqing!" Da Chao also reacted, patting his forehead, and quickly changed his address.

"Haofeng, what is this?" Suiren, standing beside him, asked with a probing look.

Although the words were not fully spoken, Jiang Haofeng instantly understood his meaning.

He immediately stated decisively, "This is a tremendous opportunity for our humanity!"

"Senior Uncle-Master Taiqing established the Humanity Teaching to enlighten our humanity. From now on, our humanity will no longer lack methods for cultivation."

"Meaning, we can also learn these cultivation methods!" Da Chao's eyes lit up as he exclaimed in surprise.

"Naturally. Senior Uncle-Master Taiqing said that all of humanity may go and listen to the teachings."

"Great!"

"Oh, and remember to call Saint Taiqing 'Teacher' in five hundred years," Jiang Haofeng's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he said to the surrounding Innate Humans.

"Ah, Teacher?"
