Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Similar scenes repeated themselves over the next millennium.

The human army split into four groups, each heading in a different direction, but they encountered similar situations and faced almost no substantial resistance.

Occasionally, a few isolated groups, unable to grasp the situation, would abandon their ancestral lands and flee outwards, at the cost of being crippled.

The human race's territory doubled, and this expansion finally stopped, as human tribes multiplied and thrived in the newly expanded lands.

Although the overall migration of the human race has stopped, the exploration of the entire prehistoric world has not ceased.

Teams carefully selected by Shennong, led by human Golden Immortals at the Taiyi Realm, traversed the territories of various races and appeared throughout the prehistoric world.

A team from the south traversed the rolling hills and arrived at the foot of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The name "Ten Thousand Mountains" is not an exaggeration. Looking into the distance, the dark mountains stretch one after another towards the horizon, with miasma swirling in the air and the peaks hidden in the clouds, their end nowhere in sight.

The leader, Jin Xian, sensed a terrifying aura in the mountains and ultimately did not venture any deeper. Instead, they set up camp in a valley on the outskirts of the mountains.

The area is lush with water and grass, and the terrain is flat, enough for more than a thousand people to live and thrive.

To the west, the human race reached a place isolated from the outside world, where treacherous peaks frequently appeared, and spiritual energy abounded.

The leading Taiyi Realm human race knew that it was the location of the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, as recorded in their clan's secret texts. They also knew that beyond Longevity Mountain to the west lay endless deserts, where life could hardly survive.

They settled down again and began to multiply.

The first group of humans sent to the north suffered the most tragic fate, with all the accompanying humans perishing in the jaws of demonic beasts!

Later, another team was sent, only one of them, which occupied a region in the north with the weakest spiritual energy. The winters there were long and cold, and the vegetation was sparse. Even the demon race didn't think much of it, which allowed this group of humans to survive.

The largest number of humans went east, settling down in the East China Sea, the ancestral homeland of humans, and around the Kunlun Mountains.

This migration took nearly ten thousand years.

Shennong left Shouyang Mountain several times during this period.

The demons in the north had a demon saint who was dissatisfied with the human tribes for venturing into their territory. Shennong came to their door and had a friendly exchange, after which there was no further news from them.

This time, Shennong used his power to deter those who were dissatisfied with the human race's outward expansion.

Under his leadership, humanity is being rebuilt, and those human tribes scattered throughout the primordial world are the seeds of revolution.

The Great Immortal Zhenyuan in the Wuzhuang Temple to the west welcomed the arrival of the human race, and under his protection, the human race developed most rapidly.

As the tribes migrated and settled in the four directions, Shennong instructed the human race to sort out the territories and products of each region.

On this day, several elderly scholars discussed for a long time in the Shouyang Mountain Temple and presented a newly drawn map to Shennong.

The map was marked with the names of different directions, the handwriting solemn and careful.

The elder at the head of the group bowed to Shennong and said, "Your Majesty Shennong, based on information from all sides, we have renamed these four places."

Shennong unfolded the map and scanned it from top to bottom.

The land now occupied by the human race is rich in acquired spiritual energy, fertile and suitable for cultivation, and abundant in products. It is the foundation of the human race and is called "Southern Jambudvipa".

Beyond the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain to the west lies a desolate desert, barren yet vast, with perpetual sandstorms and lingering demonic energy, known as "Xiniu Hezhou".

Deeper northward into the land inhabited by the demon race, the winters are long, the vegetation is sparse, and the spiritual energy is thin, yet the area is vast and called "Beiju Luzhou".

In the east, where the Kunlun Divine Mountain is located, lies the land with the most abundant innate spiritual energy, and countless powerful races reside in that region, which is known as "Eastern Divine Continent".

Shennong read the four names aloud, savored them, and nodded.

He made no changes, but added a line of small print below the map: "Let it be named after this and spread far and wide."

This map was subsequently copied countless times and sent by messengers to various tribes.

Initially, it was just a name circulating within the human race, but as other beings traveling among humans learned of it, they also used it to refer to the four directions, and those four names gradually spread beyond the human race's territory.

Shennong spent thousands of years doubling the original territory of the human race, and then spent thousands more years allowing the human race's fortune to envelop it, completely merging it into one with the human race.

Over the course of millennia, Shennong once again reorganized the Materia Medica, gradually systematizing those scattered experiences... What herb is paired with what root, what leaf is paired with what fruit, what ailment requires what prescription... He personally wrote a supplementary volume to the "Shennong Materia Medica," which contained tens of thousands of newly added prescriptions.

At the same time, Shennong disassembled the basic pill formulas passed down by the Sage Taiqing, replaced the spiritual roots and immortal medicines with ordinary spiritual herbs, repeatedly experimented and improved the pill formulas, and spread them throughout the human race.

Starting with the simplest methods of boiling medicinal soups and making plasters, one progresses to mastering the heat to refine rudimentary pills, and then gradually understands the logic of the combination of principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guide herbs.

Passed down from generation to generation, the human race's alchemy finally transformed from scattered, exploratory work into a grand, inherited system.

Countless humans benefited from this, and their cultivation bottlenecks were quickly broken through with the help of those pills.

At the same time, Shennong passed down the teachings of the Jie Sect among the human race.

He didn't make a big fuss about it, but he didn't deliberately hide it either.

After all, the original cultivation method he used as the Human Emperor was passed down from Duobao, the chief disciple of the Jie Sect.

Therefore, he did not have too many worries about passing on the Jiejiao lineage.

Moreover, whether it is the human race in the fields of the Southern Continent, the human race facing the demon race in the Northern Continent, or the human race facing many powerful beings in the Eastern Continent, they all need new inheritances and new paths.

He selected a group of promising young people from various tribes, passed down the basic techniques of the Jie Sect, and dispatched several capable disciples to be stationed in different directions to guide their cultivation.

Those disciples' cultivation levels weren't particularly high, but it was enough for humans who were just beginning to grasp the basics.

Over thousands of years, people among the human race have embarked on the path of cultivation. Although the vast majority of them spend their entire lives merely refining essence into qi and transforming qi into spirit, the "path" has already been paved, and those who come after will naturally go further along it.

Before the arrival of the ten thousand years, Huanglong arrived at Shouyang Mountain early and discussed the Dao with Xuandu outside the Bajing Palace!

On this day, a decree containing the aura of the two saints, Taiqing Saint and Nuwa, landed before Xuandu.

"Let's go."

"Walk."

Xuandu received the decree and walked out of Shouyang Mountain side by side with Huanglong, landing once again in front of the temple in the ancestral land of the human race.

This time, my feelings are different from when I came ten thousand years ago. That time, I came to witness; this time, I come to say goodbye.
