Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

After returning to the human race with their people, the Lieshan clan did not settle in the existing human territory.

Instead, after discussing with the current human patriarch, Suishan, they led their people towards the vast, distant region.

They must shield the ancestral land from all dangers and create new living space for the human race.

Outside Shouyang Mountain, across a vast expanse of land spanning hundreds of millions of miles.

Countless human tribes are scattered here and there.

These tribes vary in size, ranging from a few hundred people to tens of thousands.

They built simple houses out of wood and stone, lived by hunting, and led a primitive and difficult life.

Beyond these tribes lay the territories of other ancient races.

There are mountains and forests inhabited by strange beasts, rivers occupied by spirits, and plains ruled by foreign tribes.

Humans fought and battled with these creatures, vying for their living space.

Lieshan's gaze pierced through the plains and looked into the distance.

There is a great mountain there, and in the mountain lives a strange beast called "Zheng".

It resembles a red leopard, with five tails and one horn, and its voice is like striking a stone, yet it possesses the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal.

For the human race, they are an insurmountable force.

The ferocious beast would occasionally descend the mountain, devouring human tribes as snacks after its meal.

Each strike annihilates a human tribe.

The Lieshan clan once organized a hunt, deploying the strongest warriors of the human race, but the beasts still managed to slaughter a portion of the human race before fleeing.

From then on, the human race would maintain a safe distance from the areas where the Zheng appeared.

It's not just about being fierce!

There are countless such beings on the vast and desolate land.

Jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and even some plants that have gained sentience can pose a deadly threat to countless humans.

Humanity, just as it had been at birth, stood at the very bottom of the primordial food chain.

But the resilience of the human race was perfectly demonstrated in this harsh environment.

They broke into smaller groups and continued to search for suitable habitats for human survival.

They did not possess the physical strength of other races, but they inherited the wisdom of their ancestors and learned to use tools.

Stone axes, stone spears, and bone knives, though rudimentary, made them more effective in hunting.

They didn't have great spiritual power, but they learned to work as a team.

Ten or twenty people work together, cooperating to hunt wild beasts.

They even learned to tame some weak wild animals and turn them into their helpers.

Dogs were domesticated by humans during this period.

Tribes, scattered like stars across the land, tenaciously survive among countless other races.

Some tribes found suitable places to live, settled down there, multiplied and grew stronger.

Some tribes have learned to coexist peacefully with relatively mild-mannered races, and even engage in some simple trade.

Humans are like weeds, trampled, eaten, and burned, but as long as the roots remain, they will grow back and grow even more luxuriantly.

Lieshan withdrew his gaze and turned back into the main hall.

He took out a jade slip from his bosom, which contained cultivation techniques passed down by the human race.

"The Golden Elixir Technique!"

This Golden Elixir Method was created by the Sage Taiqing when he preached to the human race. It is the most suitable cultivation method for the human race.

Unfortunately, this technique has extremely high requirements for aptitude.

Even among the innate human race, only a very small fraction are capable of cultivation.

Humans, who are born with the nourishment of acquired spiritual energy, find this cultivation method like a book written in heaven.

It's not as good as the body-refining hammer technique passed down by the Wu clan.

Those humans who were responsible for spreading the word all perished in that great calamity.

Lieshan was able to figure it out on his own and raise his cultivation from the True Immortal Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he knew that this was the limit.

"Unfortunately, the Totem Master has vanished without a trace! Ancestor Xuandu went into seclusion ten thousand years ago, and no one can get close to Shouyang Mountain."

Lieshan murmured, "Otherwise, with the guidance of Ancestor Xuandu, the human race would surely have given birth to more Celestial Immortals, Profound Immortals, and even Golden Immortals!"

He closed his eyes and continued to study the Golden Elixir Method in the jade slip.

On that land, the setting sun dyed the sky blood red.

In the distance, the roars of wild beasts and the shouts of humans echoed from the mountains and forests once more.

This was the darkest era for humanity, but also its most resilient.

......

In the chaos, there is no bounds, no beginning and no end.

There is no distinction between up and down, left and right, or past and future.

The chaotic energy surged and rolled, sometimes transforming into storms, sometimes condensing into vortexes, and sometimes dissipating into nothingness.

Even those at the Great Luo Realm, upon entering the Chaos Realm, will return to the Chaos Realm under the erosion of the Chaos Qi.

However, at this moment, six figures stood outside the primordial world, in the chaos, each wielding a supreme treasure, transforming the surging chaotic energy into innate spiritual energy and sending it into the primordial world.

These six figures were none other than the Six Sages of the Primordial Era.

The Supreme Sage sat cross-legged beneath the Taiji Diagram, which evolved into a black and white vortex. Chaotic energy was drawn into it and, when expelled, transformed into surging innate spiritual energy, flowing into the primordial world.

Yuanshi Tianzun held the Pangu Banner in his hand and gently shook it.

With each shake, the Pangu Banner unleashes streaks of chaotic sword energy, cleaving through massive amounts of chaotic energy and transforming it into innate spiritual energy.

Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti each occupied a region, wielding their spiritual treasures to transform chaotic energy into surging innate spiritual energy, which they then sent into the primordial world to replenish its depletion of innate spiritual energy.

Six sages have been transforming spiritual energy in this primordial chaos for tens of thousands of years.

Ten thousand years is but a snap of the fingers for a sage.

However, within this chaos, wielding spiritual treasures and constantly transforming chaotic energy consumes so much energy that even a saint would find it difficult to sustain for long.

This ten-thousand-year period was a timeframe agreed upon by the six sages.

The Sage of Taiqing was the first to put away the Taiji diagram, and the black and white vortex slowly dissipated.

He let out a long breath, a hint of weariness flashing in his calm eyes.

"Ten thousand years have passed; it's time to return to the primordial world."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable put away the Pangu Banner and nodded, saying, "Excellent!"

The Master of Heaven sheathed the Four Swords of Zhuxian and stretched, saying, "Finally, it's over. These ten thousand years have been unbearable!"

Nuwa put the Qiankun Cauldron into her sleeve and said softly, "The primordial world has stabilized and there won't be any major changes in the short term!"

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance and put away the Golden Lotus of Merit and the Seven Treasures Tree.

The six sages were about to leave the chaos and return to the primordial world.

At that moment, their expressions changed simultaneously.

"You shall all proceed to Zixiao Palace immediately!"

The voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

The six sages exchanged glances, each seeing doubt in the other's eyes.

"Why has the teacher summoned us so suddenly?" Tongtian asked, frowning.

The Sage Taiqing shook his head, then said, "You'll know when you get there!"

After saying that, he took the lead and flew towards the direction from which the thought came.

The other five saints followed closely behind.

Six streaks of light flashed across the chaos...!
