Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

"Sister Houtu, Zhusong and the others are bullying me again! Come and help me!" Water God Yuqiang rushed over, but he was too late. Houtu had already taken to the air.

"Where is she going? No, I have to follow her." Yu Qiang gritted his teeth and chased after her.

Early in the morning, Zhou Yi set up a stove, the flames licking the roasting meat merrily, making an enticing sizzling sound, and filling the air with a fragrant aroma.

Before long, the people in the camp were awakened by the aroma.

"Get up, come and eat!" Zhou Yi called out, and everyone sat down together to eat meat heartily.

He prepared plenty of barbecue last night, enough for a hundred people.

"Fellow clansmen, today I, Zhou Yi, stand here not only to bring you hope, but also to open up a completely new path for you," Zhou Yi said.

"Our human race has lived in the shadow of the primordial world since Nuwa created humans. The demon race roamed freely, the witch race was domineering, and we could only survive in the cracks."

However, today I tell you, humanity is not destined to forever be subservient to others.

The atmosphere among the crowd grew enthusiastic; Zhou Yi's words were like flames, igniting hope in their hearts.

"The Hundred Schools of Thought each have their own merits. Confucianism teaches us how to cultivate ourselves, regulate our families, govern the country, and bring peace to the world by emphasizing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness. Taoism advocates nature and non-action, teaching us to follow the way of heaven and overcome strength with gentleness."

The Mohists advocated universal love and non-aggression, reminding us of the importance of peaceful coexistence; the Legalists emphasized the rule of law, using strict laws and severe punishments to maintain social order.

The Book of Changes (Zhouyi) recounts the essence of the various schools of thought from ancient China.

The clansmen are all gaining enlightenment.

Zhou Yi's system beeped again: "Congratulations, host, for successfully spreading the teachings of a hundred schools of thought, earning a fourth-class rating and a reward of 1000 points."

Yao Yan ate silently, while cautiously glancing around.

The aroma of roasted meat is a huge temptation for monsters. Last night, it attracted many wild beasts, but Zhou Yi dealt with them all, and they eventually became delicacies on the table.

Suddenly, a roar came from the sky, and Hou Tu descended from the sky with a beautiful but cold woman.

The woman's face was ashen, and she exuded an aura that made her unapproachable.

"Who is this?" Zhou Yi asked curiously.

Hou Tu frowned and whispered to Yu Qiang, "Listen to my instructions and don't reveal your identity."

Then, turning to Zhou Yi, he introduced, "This is Zhu Xuan, a shaman from our Wu tribe. He heard there was good food here, so he came along. I hope you don't mind."

Although Yu Qiang was unwilling, he could only nod.

The thick earth opened its mouth.

Yu Qiang snorted coldly and didn't respond.

Zhou Yi, however, didn't care at all and invited the two to try the roast meat.

Yu Qiang couldn't help but sniff; the aroma was truly tempting.

Seeing that her sister was enjoying her meal, she couldn't help but start eating heartily as well.

Hou Tu ate with ease, while Yu Qiang appeared cautious, glancing around from time to time.

Nevertheless, when she saw these ordinary humans, it did not affect her appetite; she ate just as much as Hou Tu.

While eating, Hou Tu pulled a cultivation manual from her bosom and handed it to Zhou Yi: "I found this by chance in the clan. You can give it a try." She added, "But make it clear, don't blame me if you have any problems while cultivating."

"No problem." Zhou Yi readily accepted it and turned to the first page to study it carefully.

The more he read, the more excited he became.

This method has a detailed introductory explanation, which can help you avoid many pitfalls in cultivation.

"This technique can reach the Golden Immortal realm at its highest, although it's not the most advanced," Hou Tu added.

Yu Qiang glanced at Zhou Yi sideways, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Humans are nothing special."

Yao Yan heard these words clearly, and his eyes instantly turned so cold they could freeze a person to death as he stared straight at Yu Qiang.

Yu Qiang immediately felt that dagger-like gaze, and their eyes met.

"Oh no, this is bad," Hou Tu thought to himself.

Sure enough, Yu Qiang stood up abruptly, a mocking smile on his face: "Human brat, you're not convinced? Look at you, you don't even have your own cultivation methods, what great things can you achieve?"

"Yuqiang, don't be impulsive," Houtu quickly interjected to stop him.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll just use a little bit of the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal to play with him." Yu Qiang replied, and in a flash, he rushed towards Yao Yan.

She was aggressive, like a volcano erupting. With a loud bang, the shockwave spread like a tsunami, dust flew everywhere, and the scene was chaotic.

Zhou Yi reacted quickly, using his spiritual power to protect the humans behind him who were gnawing on roasted meat. Hou Tu also acted swiftly, adding a protective shield to Yao Yan.

But the terrifying shockwave was too powerful; the surrounding trees were uprooted and, like grass in a gale, were unable to withstand it.

In the blink of an eye, the once lush green area turned into a barren wasteland, a mess that looked as if it had been plowed by a large tractor.

Yao Yan remained calm and fearless, suddenly drawing out the Xuanzhong Ruler, which immediately burst into flames.

He swung the ruler and chopped with terrifying force, unleashing a devastating blow with a whooshing sound.

Yu Qiang's lips curled into a smirk, his eyes filled with contempt. She stretched out her small hand and easily crushed the incredibly powerful attack, as if she were crumpling a piece of paper.

Unexpectedly, the white flames on the Xuanzhong Ruler quietly climbed onto her body, burning ever brighter.

"Your fire is quite peculiar; it can actually burn the soul," Yu Qiang sneered. "However, it's useless against me."

As soon as she finished speaking, her magical power surged, and the white flames were immediately suppressed and disappeared.

Then, her eyes turned icy cold, and the laws of ice around her began to spin wildly.

In the blink of an eye, the earth seemed to be surrounded by winter, with ice and snow surging in and covering everything.

Even the Xuanzhong Ruler in Yao Yan's hand began to be gradually eroded by the ice.

Yao Yan's heart skipped a beat: This guy is really hard to deal with.

But he didn't back down; instead, he fought even harder.

The fire within him roared out like a blazing sun, melting away the frost that rushed towards him.

He carved a path through this icy world and charged towards Yu Qiang.

"Hey, you've got guts." Yu Qiang watched Yao Yan rush over, a contemptuous smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

She conjured a beautiful long whip out of thin air, and with a gentle flick, a huge pile of ice condensed in the air.

These ice blocks, like meteorites, rained down on the medicinal rock in dense clusters. Each one was as hard as a rock, and when they hit the ground, they could create a crater.

Yao Yan showed no fear. He unleashed his fighting technique, "Three Thousand Thunderclaps," with arcs of electricity crackling around his body, like lifelike snakes swimming.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, shattering the approaching ice before it could even touch him.

"Flame Divides Wave Ruler!" Yao Yan roared, his voice deafening, echoing in Yu Qiang's ears.

Instantly, blazing flames surged forth, fiercely clashing with Yu Qiang's ice power.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp slash tore through the sky, like dazzling sunlight shining directly to Yu Qiang's left side. Wherever it passed, space shattered, and chaotic energy leaked out. Even ordinary people could hear the sound of space breaking apart.
