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

Chapter 61 With the help of the Human Emperor, the Chaos Dao Lord's name spreads throughout the prehistoric world

"Yun Jing, you go back first. Xuan Du will go to Chen Du in seven days to pass on the Golden Core Dao."

As the leader of the Human Cult, Laozi was determined to help the rise of the human race, and naturally he would not stop it. He directly stated that he would pass down the Great Dao.

"Thank you for your mercy, Master Uncle. This disciple will now take his leave."

After leaving Shouyang Mountain, Chaos Daoist shook his head slightly. It seemed that even if the eldest master was inactive, he could not remain indifferent to the true disciples. This was to seek some merit for Xuandu.

However, Chaos Dao Lord didn't care about these things. As long as the title of Earth Emperor's teacher was established, he would definitely take the lion's share of the merit, and it would be normal for others to get a little bit.

Upon returning to the Lieshan tribe, the Chaos Dao Lord summoned Shennong, but stated that sincerity was key, and the great laws of the sages could not be lightly passed on.

"Master! I understand, I will go and prepare immediately!"

Shennong was taken aback, then suddenly realized and was overjoyed. He knew that the matter had been accomplished, and now all he needed to do was let the leader of the Human Cult, the Sage Taiqing, see the sincerity of the human race.

"This child is teachable! Although a sage is a sage, he is still a human being. If we don't treat our eldest master, the leader of the Human Religion, with the utmost respect, how can the masses know the benevolence of the leader of the Human Religion?"

Seeing that Shennong had understood, Chaos Daojun nodded in satisfaction and then closed his eyes to enter meditation again.

Shennong left his teacher's stone house and immediately summoned everyone in Chendu, saying, "My master wishes to pass on to me the art of alchemy, but this art was passed down by a sage and cannot be taught lightly. You will all follow me to bathe and fast, and together we will worship the Sage Taiqing, so that the sage may pass on the art of alchemy to save my people."

After giving the orders, the entire city of Chen sprang into action, with everyone beginning to build the altar and to bathe and fast.

With everything prepared, Shennong had people place the spirit tablet of the Primordial Sage, Laozi, the founder of the Human Religion, on the altar, and offer seasonal fresh fruits, pigs, cattle, and sheep as sacrifices in front of the spirit tablet.

Shennong led his people in worship, saying, "Your disciple, Emperor Shennong, leads all the people of the world in bowing and prostrating. The people of our race do not know the arts of herbs, plants, and elixirs, and have no cure for their illnesses. Today, your disciple leads all the people here to pray for the mercy of the Sage Master, to pass on the art of alchemy to save our people!"

"Please, sage, have mercy and save my ancient human race."

But the memorial tablet did not react at all. Shennong remembered his teacher’s words that sincerity brings results, so he did not get up and continued to prostrate himself on the ground.

The people knelt like this from morning till night, day after day, but the memorial tablet remained unresponsive. After kneeling for three days and three nights, except for some elderly and weak people who could not endure it and fainted, everyone else remained kneeling in the same spot.

Seven days had passed since Chaos Dao Lord returned to the tribe. Suddenly, a beam of clear light descended from the void and enveloped the spirit tablet, then all those kneeling in worship. Everyone felt a cool breeze pouring down from above, which not only swept away the fatigue from kneeling for three days and three nights, but also completely eliminated their long-standing ailments.

As the clear light dissipated, everyone was overjoyed and bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

Chaos Dao Lord knew that his senior uncle had agreed to pass on the great law, and now he was just waiting for Xuandu to show up so he could receive a share of the Heavenly Dao merit.

Sure enough, a Taoist priest arrived in Chendu riding on a cloud of auspiciousness.

Grand Master Xuandu looked at Shennong and said, "Shennong, I am entrusted by the Sage to pass on the Great Dao of Alchemy to you. I hope you will use this alchemy to heal all people and not fail the intentions of the Sage Taiqing."

After saying this, he handed a scroll of alchemical texts to Shennong, and then took out the alchemical cauldron refined by the Sage Taiqing from his sleeve, saying, "This cauldron can be named 'Shennong Cauldron,' which was personally refined for you by your teacher." With that, he handed the Shennong Cauldron to Shennong.

After receiving the "Shennong Cauldron", Shennong once again bowed to express his gratitude to the Sage Taiqing.

Having witnessed this, Xuandu, not wanting to linger in the mortal world, exchanged pleasantries with Chaos Daojun for a while before departing on auspicious clouds.

Having received guidance from his teacher, Shennong was grateful to the sage for bestowing upon him alchemy and alchemical techniques to save the people. He then built the "Taiqing Taoist Temple" in various tribes of the human race so that the people would know about Laozi's kindness.

Shennong, mindful of his teacher's kindness and the outstanding contributions of his teacher to two generations of emperors, ordered the construction of "Shangqing Taoist Temples" in various places to enshrine the Shangqing Sage Tongtian Jiaozhu as the main deity, with the Chaos Daojun as a secondary deity. Thus, the name of the Jiejiao sect began to spread among the human race.

With the assistance of the Human Emperor, the name of the Chaos Dao Lord quickly spread throughout the Eastern Divine Continent, and even gained immense fame in the Southern Continent. In this golden age, the Chaos Dao Lord far surpassed countless great supernatural beings of the primordial world, becoming the most illustrious and dazzling figure below the Saints.

After obtaining the alchemical text, Shennong studied it diligently day and night, hoping to learn how to refine elixirs as soon as possible to cure diseases and save lives.

Thus, time flies, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Shennong mastered all the contents of the alchemy passed down by Laozi, and his cultivation broke through the Xuanxian realm, reaching the half-step Jinxian realm.

Chaos Dao Lord handed a whip he had personally crafted to Shennong, saying, "Although this treasure is an acquired magic weapon, it is the culmination of my life's work in weapon crafting. With this whip, you can identify the vast majority of plants and trees in the primordial world."

"This disciple thanks the teacher for bestowing this treasure!"

Shennong was overjoyed; with this treasure, his wish would be more easily fulfilled.

"By striking a plant with this whip, you can determine whether it is poisonous or not, which will help you distinguish between different herbs. Although this treasure is spiritual, you cannot rely on it completely. My disciple, you must remember that there are countless strange creatures in the primordial world, which even I cannot recognize, let alone dare to try. Although your cultivation has increased, do not easily try some strange plants."

Chaos Dao Lord was very satisfied with Shennong as his disciple. This person was not a reincarnation of a great figure, but was taught by him personally in every aspect. In terms of affection, he was naturally superior to Fuxi.

Unable to bear seeing Shennong suffer, Chaos Daojun unusually became quite verbose, giving Shennong countless instructions.

Shennong understood his teacher's good intentions, but he still said, "If I can identify all the poisonous things in the world and find a way to detoxify them so that my people will no longer suffer, I will have no regrets even if I die."

Chaos Dao Lord was taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but think, "As expected of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, I am far inferior to them in terms of this sense of responsibility."

Without further persuasion, Chaos Daoist said, "Since you have this intention, I will not stop you. However, you are the second disciple of the third generation of the Jie Sect. You shall return with me to Jin'ao Island and pay your respects to the patriarch."

However, feeling that Shennong had not been able to do it, Chaos Dao Lord prepared to find a teacher to explain the Great Dao to his disciple and impart the Great Law to improve Shennong's cultivation. Otherwise, how could a mere half-step Golden Immortal taste all the herbs?

"Yes! This disciple will go with you, Master, to pay homage to the Patriarch." Shennong nodded, as was the proper course of action.

When Chaos Daoist returned to "Golden Turtle Island" with his second disciple, they entered "Biyou Palace" and paid their respects to Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The Holy Mother of Wudang struck the jade chime once more, summoning the disciples of the Jie Sect once more, and began the second sermon of the Tongtian Sect Master in this great calamity.

In an instant, the immortals of Biyou Palace gathered, a full three thousand immortals, a truly awe-inspiring scene, resembling the grandeur of ten thousand immortals paying homage.
