Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 18 Teaching Humanity, Respecting One as a Teacher (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)

This time, having found the opportunity to attain enlightenment, Laozi no longer concealed himself and revealed his true form. He took Li Yunjing with him and, in an instant, traversed billions of miles across the primordial wilderness to reach Shouyang Mountain. Within a radius of hundreds of miles beneath this famous primordial mountain, the human race was a gathering place. The entire newly born human race numbered in the tens of thousands, living and multiplying here.

However, at this time, these newly born humans were living extremely unhappily. Even if they had innate Dao bodies, the first generation of humans was born into the realm of celestial immortals. Even the subsequent generations of humans were not weak and powerless. After they obtained the Journey to the West, there was no way for those mountain-clan monsters to have any say. The strength of the human race was enough to sweep across the four continents.

However, during the heyday of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, Golden Immortals were as common as dogs, and Great Luo Immortals were everywhere. The Human Clan was oppressed by the two clans, and their lives were so miserable that they could only live on the brink of death.

Standing beside Laozi, the two revealed themselves in the clouds. Li Yunjing looked down at the entire human settlement, his brows furrowed, and he sighed.

However, the entire human race was wrapped in leaves, their faces were sallow and their bodies were emaciated. Even though the prehistoric world was rich in resources, there was no place for the human race to stand. In addition, there were countless sick people, those who were injured or disabled by attacks from the witch and demon races.

The entire settlement was deathly still; no one knew whether they would see the primordial sun rise again tomorrow.

"Yun Jing, here is a gourd of elixirs. Take it and use it to heal the human race."

When it came to the opportunity to attain enlightenment, Laozi was no longer indifferent as before. Seeing the miserable state of the human race, he frowned and secretly resented the witch and demon races. Fortunately, he discovered it in time. If the human race had really been wiped out by the two races, wouldn't his opportunity to attain enlightenment have been cut off by them?

The enmity of those who obstruct our path is irreconcilable!

Lao Tzu has decided to find an opportunity to give the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan their due.

"Yes, Senior Master!"

Upon receiving the "Purple Gold Gourd" from Laozi, Li Yunjing expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Even if Laozi's motives were impure, the life-saving grace was genuine. In this vast primordial world, only the Three Pure Ones had the ability to protect the human race!

Li Yunjing took out ten Seven-Turn Golden Pills from the Purple Gold Gourd, floated them in front of him, and then blew on them. The ten Seven-Turn Golden Pills turned into a rich medicinal mist, which fell like fog and rain onto the entire human settlement.

"Splash!"

The power of the immortal path spread across the earth. These people were originally talented, and although their bodies were weakened by the hardships of life, the medicinal energy of the "Seven-Turn Golden Elixir" immediately revitalized their lives as soon as it entered their bodies.

Limbs were regenerated, diseases were cured, and vitality was replenished. In an instant, the entire human tribe became vibrant again, and joy returned to the faces of everyone in the tribe.

"This is the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the 'Sanqing Palace,' the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, Laozi, and my eldest grand-uncle. He traveled across the primordial land and today, seeing the hardships of the human race, the immortal felt compassion and specially stayed here for a period of time to teach the human race survival skills. Why don't you all pay your respects and thank him?"

Seeing that the human race had recovered, Li Yunjing was overjoyed. He coughed lightly, shouted, and revealed the purpose of his trip.

"Thank you for your mercy, Immortal!"

Whoosh! The entire tribe, all the humans, knelt down to express their gratitude. Laozi's arrival had become their only hope, and everyone's gratitude came from the bottom of their hearts.

"Rise, all of you! From now on, my junior brother and I will stay here and teach you the Taiqing Immortal Techniques and survival skills, hoping that the human race can strive for self-improvement and stand tall on the prehistoric continent."

Laozi smiled, very satisfied, both with the human race and with Li Yunjing.

"Yun Jing, you will teach the human race some survival skills to ensure they have a stable living environment before I teach them the Great Dao."

"Yes! Your disciple will obey the Grand Master's decree!"

Li Yunjing's expression turned serious. He naturally knew the importance of this matter to Laozi. This was a task that had to be completed, and it had to be done perfectly. The human race could not be allowed to develop too quickly, nor could it be allowed to be destroyed at any time.

Lao Tzu must be the only hope for all human beings!

Laozi nodded, and seeing that Li Yunjing truly understood his meaning, he became even more satisfied with Li Yunjing.

The two descended from the auspicious clouds and strolled towards the simple tribe.

This tribe lives in simple stone houses, all made of large piles of stones, lacking aesthetic appeal and uniformity.

Lao Tzu shook his head, but accepted their enthusiastic invitation and stayed.

Lao Tzu had no interest in personally teaching the human race things like farming, fishing, and animal husbandry, so that responsibility fell on Li Yunjing's shoulders.

"In that case, I'll lend you a hand, but it's ultimately limited."

Li Yunjing thought for a moment. Although he came from the future and knew all kinds of skills, he couldn't force the growth of the seedlings and make the human race lose its independence.

After Laozi returned to the stone house to rest, Li Yunjing summoned all the humans and signaled them to follow him to learn.

First, he took out a dry branch and quickly spun it in his palm with a sharp stone awl. Soon, the dry branch started to smoke. Li Yunjing then had the humans gather some dry branches and leaves and use the sparks to ignite it.

"This will be your kindling from now on. You will use fire for lighting, warmth, and roasting meat. I have already taught you how to make fire by friction, and you must study it carefully and master it."

Looking at the bonfire in front of him, Li Yunjing thought for a moment, then used stones to build a small stone hut around it, which could at least shelter him from the wind and rain and prevent the bonfire from going out.

"This is fire!"

These humans were greatly surprised. In their understanding, flames and thunderstorms were possible when lightning struck a tree. They never imagined that a dead branch could be drilled out of flames using a stone cone.

The humans below were greatly surprised by the series of changes. They only knew that they were created by Nuwa, but they had never been educated or knew any survival skills.

Li Yunjing captured another demonic beast, killed it, and taught the human race how to use fire to cook food.

Day after day, Li Yunjing taught the human race about all aspects of survival, imparting to them the most basic survival skills. As a result, Li Yunjing earned the title of "Teacher of the Human Race" among the human race.

Li Yunjing was somewhat pleased with this. In the future, when the human race becomes the protagonist of the world, he, Li Yunjing, will naturally become famous among the human race and enjoy boundless blessings.

As they continued to learn, the human race became more and more agile, no longer as dull as before. From the beginning, they learned whatever Li Yunjing taught them, gradually learning to apply what they learned to other situations, and even taking the initiative to ask Li Yunjing various new questions.
