Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 21 "The Book of Humanity" - Human Race Section: Perfecting the Literary Dao and Protecting the Fire Qilin

As Su Shao Chen stopped preaching, all living beings awoke. At this moment, there were only three thousand cultivators still under the Apricot Altar!

Among them are those with good aptitude and talent in literature and Taoism who have reached the Void Returning Realm, those who have reached the Void Returning and Tao Integration Realm, and those who have reached the Earth Immortal Realm.

Those who were kept by Su Shao Chen were among the more talented listeners of this batch, and had a knack for literature.

It is worth mentioning that even Kong Shengsheng broke through to the middle level of Earth Immortal by listening to the Dao this time, which surprised Su Shaochen at the time.

Su Shao Chen didn't pay attention to when he became an Earth Immortal after undergoing tribulation.

This made Su Shao Chen pay attention to Kong Shengsheng again. Although his aptitude might not be as good as his future descendant Kong Lao Er, he felt that Kong Shengsheng also had good fortune and was a good practitioner of literature...

Those cultivators who were originally at the peak of the Returning to Emptiness and Merging with the Dao also turned into a stream of light and disappeared in Dragon Mountain, and began to undergo the Earth Immortal Tribulation.

Nine people in this batch are undergoing the Earth Immortal Tribulation, and they all have profound foundations in literature and Taoism.

So Su Shaochen took in the three thousand cultivators he had left behind at Longshan. These three thousand cultivators could not only play an important role in spreading the Dao of Literature, but if word got out that Longshan had taken in three thousand students during this lecture, it would also make the Dao of Literature more deeply rooted in people's hearts!

After the sermon was completely finished, Su Shao Chen gave Zhong Hui some instructions. Although the fortune in the court was good, it couldn't last forever. Moreover, staying there for too long might taint one with impure energy, which would be detrimental to cultivation!

Zhong Hui was deeply moved by this, so he decided that once all the political affairs of the Shang Dynasty were stable, he would resign and retire to Longshan to cultivate himself.

After explaining the events on Dragon Mountain, Su Shao Chen began his true journey through the human realm and the prehistoric world.

In his book "The Book of Humanity," the chapter on the human race occupies a relatively important part. Moreover, he once assured the ancestor of literature that the human race's culture and way would flourish in the future, so some preparations should be made now.

In the Human Race chapter, there is not only a systematic method of cultivating literature and Tao, but also various paths derived from literature and Tao, such as the Hundred Schools of Thought in the future. Although Su Shao Chen cannot write them all, he can provide a general direction and focus for the future schools of thought.

Therefore, in the Human Race section alone, there are several frameworks and directions for the writing he needs to develop, such as Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, Mohism, Yin-Yang School, School of Names, Miscellaneous School, Agricultural School, Novelists, Strategists, Military Strategists, and Medical School...

…………

Ten years later, in the human land of Qingzhou, Su Shao Chen, dressed in coarse clothes and wearing straw sandals, watched the humans cultivating the land, seemingly lost in endless thought.

Since Su Shao Chen preached at Longshan, he handed Longshan over to Zhong Hui and came to Qingzhou. Every day he watched the people of Qingzhou cultivate the land, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

For the past ten years, he has been observing the farming practices of countless people in Qingzhou, their experiences, and farming methods.

When Su Shaochen traveled, he took the first chapter of the "Humanity Book" on the human race as the opening chapter of the "Farmer Family".

Now, ten years later, Su Shao Chen has combined the agricultural ideas of later generations with the current human habits of farming and planting, and has established the general framework of "The Farmer's Family".

"Those who belong to the agricultural class are officials in charge of agriculture and grain. They sow all kinds of grains, encourage farming and sericulture, so as to have enough food and clothing."

"The crops they grow are their specialty, but the uncultured people do them, thinking they have nothing to do with the king. They want the king and his ministers to farm together, which goes against the proper order between superiors and inferiors."

When Su Shaochen wrote the general outline of "The Farmer's School", he summarized the Farmer's School into two schools: one was the one who cultivated and farmed, and the other was the one who was an official in charge of agriculture and grain, and who was an official in charge of agriculture.

Su Shao Chen did not write anything more detailed, nor did he have any other works on the agricultural school. The specific details he left behind will have to be completed by future human sages.

After ten years of writing the general principles of the Farmer's School into the Book of Humanity, Su Shao Chen continued his travels to other states of the human race.

Another hundred years have passed.

The Legalist School:

"The difficulty in governing the world lies not in enacting laws, but in ensuring that those laws are enforced."

"Govern by law, without distinction of kinship or social status, and make judgments based solely on the law. All officials, from the king to the ministers, and regardless of rank, shall follow the law. The law shall not favor the noble, nor shall it bend the rope. Punishment shall not spare high officials, and rewards shall not overlook even the humblest person."

The Art of War:

"Warfare is about winning; there are no fixed formations in warfare, just as water has no fixed shape..."

The general outlines for the following schools of thought have all been written: Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Yin-Yang School, School of Names, Miscellaneous School, Novelists, Strategists, Military Strategists, and Physicians.

The general outlines of the various schools of thought that may emerge from the human race in the future can all be found in the chapter on the human race in the Book of Humanity.

The chapter on the human race is almost complete at this point. The various schools of thought that emerged among the human race in later generations each had several ideas and doctrines.

Therefore, when Su Shaochen wrote, he basically focused on the central idea, so as not to affect the development and prosperity of later philosophers because of his writing.

After completing the Human Race chapter, Su Shao Chen prepared to leave the Nine Provinces of Humanity and head towards the Primordial Land.

The Book of Humanity has two main directions: the Human Race and the All Spirits!

The word "human" represents not only the human race, but also all living beings in the primordial world.

Therefore, Su Shao Chen still needs to travel across the primordial land to write the "Ten Thousand Spirits Chapter"!

While roaming the primordial land, Su Shao Chen would carefully observe all the creatures of the primordial world and write the "Ten Thousand Creatures Chapter".

When Su Shao Chen encountered some beings with good aptitude and character, he would spread the Dao of Literature. Therefore, during his fifty years of wandering in the prehistoric world, wherever he went, many beings received the inheritance of the Dao of Literature and cultivated it, which greatly increased Su Shao Chen's luck in the Dao of Literature in the prehistoric world.

In the first hundred years of wandering the primordial world, Su Shao Chen looked up and could vaguely see a towering mountain range millions of miles ahead, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with the mountain range piercing the clouds and exuding an extremely impressive aura.

Moreover, Su Shao Chen also sensed something at this moment, and couldn't help but start calculating. Finally, he looked at the mountain range a million miles ahead with some surprise.

"So it's Mount Tai!" Su Shaochen muttered to himself.

Having wandered through the wilderness for a hundred years, I unknowingly found myself here on Mount Tai.

Mount Tai is said to be the transformed head of the great god Pangu, and it is one of the most famous mountains in the primordial world. Countless powerful beings from the primordial era cultivated here, and it is also the gateway to the underworld.

Even though he was still millions of miles away from Mount Tai, countless spirits had already begun to converge on it.

Su Shao Chen could clearly sense that although Mount Tai also evoked feelings in him, it wasn't all of it; there were other things that also evoked feelings in him.

"Could there be another opportunity for me here?"

Then Su Shao Chen transformed into a streak of light and headed towards Mount Tai. After traveling tens of thousands of miles, he saw a fire unicorn at the initial stage of the Xuanxian realm!

That fire qilin was no ordinary beast; it seemed to have noticed Su Shao Chen's presence at a mere glance, and thus greeted him with a loud bow, "May I ask which senior is here?"

Su Shao Chen was dressed in a black Daoist robe, wearing sky-high boots, with a Hunyuan shield above his head. Within the auspicious clouds, there were faint bursts of Gengjin killing intent, which made even the fire Qilin feel a chill in its heart!

"Junior Huo Yan greets Senior!" Huo Qilin respectfully bowed to Su Shao Chen.

Although he could sense that the Taoist in front of him was probably only at the Golden Immortal level, the threat that brought him close to death made Huo Yan extremely solemn.

Su Shao Chen began to deduce the nature of the fire qilin. According to his calculations, this fire qilin was destined to be associated with his literary path.

This fire qilin is an auspicious beast associated with literature and is closely related to the path of literature; it should be considered a guardian beast of literature.

So Su Shao Chen smiled and said to Huo Yan, "I am Su Shao Chen, a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect. Young friend, you have an affinity with my literary path. Would you be willing to join my sect?"
