Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 129 Shennong tastes hundreds of herbs, Changxi proves the Dao

"What a lovely doll."

Changxi gave a mischievous smile and flicked her finger.

A beam of light fell on the baby, sweeping away all the filth on him.

At the same time, a piece of coarse cloth wrapped it up and finally fell into Changyi's hands.

"Born to be a human emperor, as expected, he has shown such extraordinary talent right from birth."

Changxi chuckled and praised the baby in her arms.

"From today onwards, your name will be Shennong!"

Changxi spoke without hesitation.

From then on, the child had a name.

It is called Shennong.

This was a name given to Changxi by the Eastern King Duke.

The reason is simple: among the original Three Sovereigns, the second human emperor should have been named Shennong.

Although the first one has changed, the next one cannot stray too far from the right track.

And this child successfully became Changxi's disciple, beginning his path of cultivation.

A hundred years later.

The Heavenly Emperor, Dongwanggong, ordered the new Emperor Taihao to go into the Chaos and establish a Daoist temple to suppress the human race's fortune and prevent it from collapsing.

Taihao naturally would not disobey the Eastern King's order, and immediately went into the chaos to begin the work of opening up the Daoist temple.

Of course, this inevitably led to the loss of a leader for the human race. Without a sovereign, the human race became diverse and its people were filled with complex thoughts.

For a moment, the atmosphere among the entire human race became strange.

Everyone wanted to become the new ruler of the human race, so they schemed against each other, making it quite a lively scene.

In a short period of time, the human race launched a war without gunpowder.

The various surnames either sparred in martial arts or competed in strategy, each wanting to prove themselves superior.

Because they believed that the most powerful being would naturally be the next ruler of the human race.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

A man named Shennong emerged from a small tribe.

In just a hundred years of cultivation, he had already become a Golden Immortal, completely invincible among humans, cutting through everything in his path with ease.

In the end, Shennong single-handedly defeated all the major clan tribes, rendering them powerless.

Based on this, Shennong declared himself the new supreme ruler of the human race.

However, despite being a figure who unified the human race, Shennong was not appointed as the Human Emperor by the Eastern King Duke.

Fortunately, with Taihao as a predecessor, Shennong also gained some experience.

"Taihao developed the Eight Trigrams, which can be used to predict fortune and misfortune for the human race."

Looking up at the sky, Shennong murmured to himself.

He knew that simply unifying the human race was far from enough to become the Human Emperor.

They also need to make sufficient contributions to the human race and benefit it.

In an instant, he decisively transformed into a mortal and walked on foot through all the human territories.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Shennong witnessed countless partings and deaths, and the suffering of humankind.

"Hunger...sickness...life and death...poverty..."

Looking at the myriad aspects of human life, Shennong wore a wry smile.

Suddenly, he saw a monster not far away, covered in wounds and limping, coming to a huge, bright red fruit and taking a bite!

In an instant, the monster's body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"What kind of miraculous fruit is this!?"

Shennong was shocked to see this.

He had seen this kind of fruit before.

However, because the color was too bright, the human race was afraid that it was poisonous, and no one dared to try it.

Since no one took the first step, naturally no one dared to take the second.

"Humans are weak, and diseases are like evil dragons; whenever they afflict us, we are halfway to the gates of hell."

"If I could enable humanity to cure or even prevent diseases, wouldn't that be a great contribution?!"

Seeing this, Shennong murmured to himself, his eyes suddenly brightening. Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and a green leaf, by sheer coincidence, fell into Shennong's mouth.

The moment it entered the mouth, a bitter taste surged onto the tip of the tongue, causing Shennong to furrow his brow slightly.

However, Shennong soon sensed a delicate fragrance wafting around his nose.

At the same time, he felt refreshed and comfortable.

"What kind of green leaves are these?!"

Shennong was overjoyed and chewed the green leaf that had just floated into his mouth.

"It has a slightly bitter taste at first, followed by a refreshing fragrance that soothes the throat and leaves a lingering aftertaste. It even has the ability to cure poisons and diseases!"

"What a magical green leaf!"

The more he chewed, the more delighted Shennong's face became.

Before long, he found paper and pen from somewhere and began to write diligently.

He recorded the appearance of the green leaves on paper and gave them a meaningful name – "tea".

With the advent of "tea", Shennong opened the door to a new world.

He traveled constantly through the human territory, and whenever he encountered a plant he had never seen before, he would put it in his mouth, experience its effects, and then record them.

Another decade has passed.

The paper that Shennong originally used for recording has now been compiled into an extremely thick book.

All plants that appeared in human territory were recorded in it.

There are effective medicines that can cure serious illnesses, and there are also poisons that can kill.

And then the last plant was recorded in it.

This booklet suddenly jolted!

Five large, golden characters appeared above it: "Shennong's Classic of Herbs".

Thus, Shennong finally completed his contribution.

After that, humans had access to medical care when they were sick and treatment when they were injured. They were no longer in dire straits, and when they fell ill, they could only wait to die.

It can be said that Shennong's actions once again propelled humankind forward by taking a giant leap.

In later history, the human race referred to this as...

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs.

A golden gate, gleaming in the sky, slowly opened once more.

It was still the familiar figure of Cangjie, holding the Kongtong Seal in his left hand and the Heavenly Emperor's decree in his right.

"Greetings, King Munjo!"

Shennong clasped his hands in a fist salute, knelt on one knee, and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

"Shennong, the human race."

Cangjie's gaze swept over Shennong, and he nodded slightly in approval.

Immediately, his expression darkened, and he became serious.

He raised the Heavenly Emperor's decree in his hand and suddenly spread it open!

"By imperial decree!"

"Shennong, the Shennong of the human race, was credited with unifying the human race and creating the Shennong Herbal Classic!"

"His achievements will last for eternity; he is hereby bestowed the title of Emperor!"

"So be it!"

His voice was authoritative, and its echo lingered for a long time!

At the same time, Heaven responded!

Similarly, a towering pillar of light, as thick as a mountain!

It split in two, letting out a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, and then: it fell like thunder!

They fell into the bodies of the human emperor Shennong and the human emperor's teacher Changxi, respectively!

A sky full of green clouds appeared above Shennong's head.

Shennong sat cross-legged, with a divine halo appearing behind him, and strange phenomena unfolding behind him.

The exotic flowers and rare herbs that he had appraised now appeared one by one, transforming into illusions thousands of meters high, flashing past him continuously.

Shennong's cultivation level also increased rapidly.

Golden Immortal, Peak Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, Early Stage Peak Quasi-Saint, Mid Stage Quasi-Saint!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Shennong's cultivation level increased at an incredible speed, eventually settling at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint!

On the other side, Changxi was surrounded by a halo of the moon, bathed in countless rays of moonlight from the clear sky.

Changxi's eyes were closed, her holy image dignified.

Her aura grew increasingly terrifying.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar from the heavens, Changyi was jolted awake!

Sizzle!

The strange phenomena in the sky dissipated, and the sky returned to calm.

Changxi slowly opened her eyes.

Within the beautiful formation, a faint purple light flickered, captivating all who looked at it.

As for her cultivation level...

"Proving the Dao of Primordial Chaos! He's actually proving the Dao of Primordial Chaos once again!"

In the primordial world, powerful beings, their eyes wide with disbelief, roared in disbelief.

Indeed, through the merits of the Emperor's teacher, Changxi successfully attained the Primordial Chaos Realm!
