I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 225 The Second Secret of the Human Race, Born from Shennong

Ye Yang was shocked. This was beyond his comprehension once again. He knew that the Chaos Beast was large, but he did not expect it to be this big. Even a million barbecue grills could not finish grilling a single tail.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was also feeling frustrated. Even after countless years since his death, his aura still surpassed that of the Dao Ancestor. One can only imagine how powerful he was in life.

"Ancestor of Humanity, I am using the pressure of this corpse to comprehend and cultivate the Dao of Sword, which is billions of kilometers away. This pressure can help condense the soul and temper the will. If you have the opportunity, you can go there."

Ye Yang let out a long breath, but then shook his head.

"I probably can't go for now."

Looking at Houtu, Ye Yang said:

"Perhaps he can make a trip there, so that he can more perfectly activate the Pangu bloodline. Master, please leave a trace of your divine sense along the way, so that I can quickly notify you if I need your help."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader understood that before the war of humanity, he and Houtu had been cultivating beside the giant beast's corpse.

"Rest assured, even if I, the leader of this sect, perish, I will still help humanity rise."

The Tongtian Sect Leader understood that Ye Yang must have paid a huge price to retrieve the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, and he would feel ashamed if he did not repay this kindness.

"Alright, take Houtu with you. Remember to leave your divine thoughts behind, otherwise it will be difficult to find her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang headed straight for the prehistoric world. Although he was shocked, he was also happy.

Now that Houtu's future is set, Tongtian Jiaozhu's strength has increased dramatically. Although he is still no match for Hongjun, there is still a long time before the final battle of humanity. Even if he is no match for Hongjun, he can still hold him off for a while.

Ye Yang smiled slightly, as if he could already see the future.

"Hongjun, let's see how cocky you are."

Above the primordial wilderness, Ye Yang returned once again. After unleashing his terrifying divine sense, he saw that the Daoist temples of all the saints in the heavens were blocked by the Earthly Dao Saints.

Seeing this, Ye Yang chuckled. It seemed that Houtu was really capable; she already knew about Yuanshi Tianzun's affairs in the blink of an eye. Ye Yang smiled happily.

As expected, the Human Martial Saint is truly impressive; with just one sentence, he frightened the Primordial Celestial Venerable so much that he dared not step out of his dojo.

"It seems that Wu is capable of handling things on his own now, which puts my mind at ease."

The divine sense quickly located Shennong, but what it found was quite a shock.

"What's going on? What kind of monsters and demons are these?"

Ye Yang was taken aback and immediately tore through space, appearing above Shennong in the next instant.

"Who is it?"

Suddenly, the Martial Ancestor, who was responsible for protecting Shennong, reacted and immediately sensed the fluctuations in space.

"Hmph, how dare you covet my junior brother! Die!"

A punch thrown with full force.

"Holy shit, damn it..."

As soon as Ye Yang came out, he looked up and saw a huge fist heading straight for his forehead.

Thud—

In his haste, he grabbed with one hand and stopped the terrifying fist.

"Kid, you're asking for it, aren't you?"

"Ah? Master, this...this..."

Wu Zu was stunned and immediately apologized, but he was shocked. Ye Yang dealt with his full strength so easily in such a hurry. How much cultivation must he have?

"alright."

Ye Yang didn't want to waste any time, so he immediately pointed down and asked:

"What's going on? Why are there so many demons and monsters around Shennong?"

Upon hearing this matter, Emperor Wuzu was also puzzled and cupped his hands, saying:

"Master, I don't know what happened either. At first, there were only some wild beasts in the mountains following Shennong. At first, I thought these wild beasts were going to harm my junior brother, but later I found out that these wild beasts were following Shennong voluntarily."

"What? There's such a thing? Explain yourself."

Ye Yang felt worried. Although these unintelligent beasts were not a big deal, they were still demons after all. Could it be that Nuwa was still up to no good and wanted to do something else?

In an instant, Ye Yang's anger flared up. He looked at Nuwa Palace and made up his mind. It seemed he had to destroy Nuwa Palace again, otherwise this woman would keep bothering him.

"Master, it's like this."

Emperor Wu began to recount his story.

In the beginning, Shennong would use his skills to help heal injured wild animals and other wounded creatures.

It contains beautiful and colorful birds, as well as gentle animals and incredibly fierce wolves, tigers, leopards, and so on.

Once, Shennong encountered a ferocious beast and was about to be eaten when a large number of wild animals rushed out to help him. The originally docile sheep instantly transformed into terrifying fighting rams.

The once vibrant and colorful birds now resembled fierce fighting cocks.

As time went on, and as Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs more and more frequently, he died more and more often. These small animals then used their own bodies to protect Shennong.

Later on, it was no longer limited to ordinary animals; plant spirits that had gained sentience also followed Shennong to protect them.

When Shennong was thirsty, a hundred birds would bring flower baskets to hold water; when he was hungry, the spirits of plants would offer him fruits; when he was sleepy, the animals of the mountains and rivers would willingly drag him along, and his warm fur would make him sleep soundly.

Ye Yang was stunned after hearing what the Martial Ancestor said.

"You can do it like that?"

"Master, even these wild beasts know how to be grateful."

However, Ye Yang shook his head.

"That's not necessarily true."

Beasts expressing gratitude? Perhaps it truly exists, but don't forget this is the primordial world. Fuxi had countless incarnations; who knows if any of them became spirits of these beasts and plants? In a sense, they could also be considered part of the demon race.

"By the way, what's with all these demons and monsters?"

"Master, I didn't know; this has only appeared recently."

Ye Yang felt a surge of frustration. It was just the rise of the Human Emperor, so why were so many wild beasts and spirits from the mountains coming to help? Even the spirits of the fallen heroes were following in Shennong's footsteps.

Suddenly, Ye Yang seemed to understand.

"Is everything predetermined?"

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

Ye Yang did not answer, but thought of a possibility and looked at Shennong again, and then at the spirits of plants and trees, the spirits of heaven and earth, and the endless heroic spirits behind Shennong.

Ye Yang gradually fell into thought.

"Perhaps, Shennong, the second secret of the human race was born because of you."

Upon hearing this, the Martial Ancestor behind him was taken aback. The second secret of the human race? He had once heard Ye Yang say that the human race should have nine secrets. Now that the "Zhe" secret has emerged and been comprehended by him, the Martial Ancestor certainly knew just how powerful the "Zhe" secret was.

It was by using the secret of the word "Zhe" that all the saints in the heavens cowered and dared not come out, and it was also because of a single sentence that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable dared not act recklessly.

The second of the nine secrets of the human race is about to be revealed. I wonder what kind of secret technique it will be?

For a moment, Wu Zu became expectant, looking at Ye Yang beside him. At this moment, Ye Yang seemed to be integrated with his surroundings, or as if he were traveling in the void, with waves of Daoist charm emanating from his body.

Old man—.

In an instant, it covered the entire primordial land, which terrified the Martial Ancestor.

"This is bad! Master's Daoist aura is too strong; the Primordial World cannot withstand it."

Whoosh—.

In an instant, Ye Yang's body disappeared, and the Martial Ancestor, risking great infamy, teleported Ye Yang to the Chaos.

However, at that very moment, Hongjun of Zixiao Palace suddenly opened his eyes.

"What happened?"

A feeling of unease washed over him, and he immediately opened his Heavenly Eye to investigate. What he saw was Ye Yang comprehending the Dao in the void, which instantly reminded Hongjun of the time when the Martial Ancestor Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment.

Realizing what was happening in an instant, Hongjun let out a loud roar and panicked.

"Ancestor of Humanity, how dare you—"
