Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 81 Cangjie Invents Characters, the Human Emperor Proves His Dao

Thinking of this, Yun Zhongzi smiled. 🐨🍟 ➅❾ş᝔�Ữⓧ.C𝓞𝕞 🐤🐼

"I am Yun Zhongzi, a disciple of the Daoist Master, and I have come here to accept Cangjie as my disciple," Yun Zhongzi said with a smile, looking at Cangjie's parents.

"Greetings, Guardian Immortal Master. It is my son's blessing to be a disciple of the Holy Master," Cangjie's parents quickly said.

And so, Yun Zhongzi settled down in the Jiufeng tribe.

Most of the tribes of the Jiuli tribe were named after their great shamans, while the rest were named after mountains and rivers. Tribes that could be named after their great shamans were all large tribes.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Cangjie displayed the same extraordinary abilities as the Heavenly Emperor and Earthly Emperor of that time. He could walk at the age of one, speak at the age of two, and understand reason at the age of three.

Upon seeing this, Yun Zhongzi's smile never faded.

When the choice of the Earth Emperor's teacher was made, no one wanted to break the bond between fellow disciples, so none of them wanted to become the Earth Emperor's teacher. But who wouldn't want the merit?

Now that he has taken Cangjie as his disciple, although he doesn't know what achievements he will make, Yun Zhongzi knows that anyone who is chosen by their master will not have too bad an achievement in the future.

When Cangjie was five years old, Yun Zhongzi formally accepted him as a disciple. According to Pan Huang's instructions, Yun Zhongzi did not teach Cangjie cultivation methods, but instead taught him to observe all things.

Thus, under the tutelage of Yun Zhongzi, Cangjie understood many principles and gained some knowledge of the deeds of the Three Sovereigns.

"Master, I wish to visit the Xuanyuan tribe." Ten years later, Cangjie arrived at Yun Zhongzi's thatched cottage.

"Hmm!" Yun Zhongzi nodded.

He then brought Cangjie to the Xuanyuan tribe. Ten years ago, Xuanyuan defeated Chiyou and became the ruler of the human race. In the past ten years, the human race has been developing rapidly.

Cangjie found a job with Xuanyuan and became Xuanyuan's record keeper, responsible for helping Xuanyuan to record events by tying knots, while Yun Zhongzi went to the thatched cottage of Yu Ding Zhenren to discuss the Dao with his senior brother.

While helping Xuanyuan record events, Cangjie discovered a drawback: as time went by, many things that were recorded using knotted ropes were simply forgotten.

Therefore, Cangjie conceived the idea of ​​creating something that could record events.

He didn't know what this thing that could record things was, but a voice in his heart told him that it must exist, he just hadn't discovered it yet!

Because of the interference of Panhuang and the myriad races of the prehistoric world, many of Xuanyuan's achievements were not reflected. After the war ended, Xuanyuan began to develop people's livelihoods, and those achievements that originally belonged to him were slowly created by him.

For example, the compass chariot, military formations, and clothing. Clothing was invented by Leizu, the wife of Xuanyuan, through silkworm breeding. In addition, there were achievements in medicine, such as the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic and the Yellow Emperor's Outer Classic.

At the same time, Xuanyuan improved the tribal alliance system based on Fuxi and Shennong, proposed the official system, and put forward the initial concept of the state.

As Xuanyuan did more and more for the human race, he felt that his achievements were nearing completion, and he was just waiting for an opportunity to attain enlightenment.

However, the opportunity to prove one's Dao was delayed. But Xuanyuan was not in a hurry. Back then, Fuxi and Shennong also waited for more than ten or even several decades before they had the opportunity to prove their Dao.

On the other side, Cangjie had already begun to create something that could record events of the human race. Seeing this, Yun Zhongzi did not know how to help him, so he could only tell him to observe more, observe the things around him, and observe all things.

After hearing Yun Zhongzi's words, Cangjie nodded and then began to observe his surroundings.

He started by examining the knots used for recording events. Soon, Cangjie discovered that there were many differences in the knots used for recording events, and people with good memories could use these differences to recall events.

Thinking about this, a faint understanding appeared in Cangjie's mind, but this understanding vanished in an instant, and he did not grasp it.

But Cangjie was not discouraged. He knew that what he was doing now was the first and most important thing. If this thing succeeded, the human race would enter another level, a level that even he could not imagine.

Time flies, and ten years have passed. During these ten years, Cangjie wandered around the tribe every day, muttering words that no one could understand.

During those ten years, Cangjie became famous, and people avoided him like the plague because everyone felt that Cangjie was mentally unstable.

But Cangjie didn't care about their opinions at all, and continued to observe all things in his own way every day.

Mount Wanyao, the demon race has recovered a lot of its vitality thanks to the merits of the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor, but they have not made a high-profile appearance in the prehistoric world.

Now, the nine Golden Crows form the eight major races of the demon race, with each race led by a Golden Crow. The Little Golden Crow still stays by the side of the Big Golden Crow, as he has more important things to do.

"Looks like we'll have to give Cangjie a boost. I don't want this merit either, but it just keeps coming to me. Sigh! There's nothing I can do." The Great Golden Crow said with a Versailles-like expression.

"Little brother, go ahead," the big golden crow said to the little golden crow.

"Okay!" Little Golden Crow nodded.

Meanwhile, Cangjie was sitting in the field, watching the people working, seemingly lost in thought. The people working there weren't surprised to see him like this, as he had been doing it for many years and they were used to it.

Just as Cangjie was in a daze, a small bird appeared in front of him. It looked at Cangjie with a puzzled expression and then flew away.

"Firefly! I haven't seen this kind of bird in a long time!" Cangjie said with a smile as he watched the little creature fly away.

After the Firebird disappeared, some small birds inexplicably appeared around him. Cangjie could name some of these birds, but not others.

He was a little puzzled as to why so many birds had come to his side today!

Just as Cangjie was about to get up and leave, his eyes suddenly lit up because he saw the footprints left by the birds on the ground.

He lay down on the ground to examine the footprints as if they were precious treasures. Finally, Cangjie discovered that most of the footprints were very similar, which puzzled him.

"Why are most of these footprints similar? They're clearly not from the same bird!" Cangjie muttered to himself.

After repeating it twice, Cangjie suddenly stopped, as if he had realized something.

"Hahaha, I know, I know!" Cangjie suddenly stood up and laughed heartily.

When the humans who were farming saw Cangjie do this, they simply shook their heads and went back to their work.

"Each of these footprints corresponds to a bird, and the reason they have so many similarities is because they are all birds. Since we can tell from the footprints that they are bird footprints, is there a symbol that can record the affairs of the human race?" Cangjie murmured to himself, stroking the footprints on the ground.

After saying this, Cangjie turned around and returned to the Xuanyuan tribe.

After returning to his tribe, Cangjie resigned from his position from Xuanyuan and then traveled to the prehistoric world. He recorded everything he saw and heard along the way, waiting to organize it after his travels were over.

Cangjie traveled through the primordial world for fifty years. When he returned to the Nine Phoenix Tribe, he was already very old, but his eyes still shone with a bright light.

After returning to the Jiufeng tribe, Cangjie immediately went into seclusion, which lasted for many years.

Finally, when Cangjie was a hundred years old, he emerged from seclusion. After emerging, Cangjie's body unconsciously straightened up a bit, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After emerging from the pass, Cangjie ordered people to prepare the altar, as he had something important to announce to the entire prehistoric world.

Because Cangjie was a disciple of the Holy Master, the people of the Nine Phoenix Tribe respected him greatly. When they heard Cangjie say that he was going to announce something important, they dared not be negligent.

In just three days, the altar was erected. When the altar was completed, Yun Zhongzi and Pan Huang also came. Pan Huang was in the dark because he knew that Cangjie's creation of characters was a very grand event, even triggering the underground tunnels. Therefore, in order to protect the characters, Pan Huang came here in person.

After the altar was set up, Cangjie took out the stone slab he had prepared, which contained the results of his many years of traveling through the prehistoric world.

"I am Cangjie, the human race. I felt that the human race had no writing, no records, and no inheritance. I have traveled in the prehistoric world for nearly fifty years, observing all things in the world, observing birds, beasts, insects and fish, observing the rising and setting of the sun. Finally, I comprehended the writing of my human race. Today, I proclaim to the prehistoric world that my human race will have writing and inheritance." Cangjie's voice rang out and was quickly spread throughout the entire prehistoric world by an invisible force.

Beiming, the Demon Master's Palace.

Kunpeng was stunned for a moment when he heard Cangjie's words. He did not expect that the human race had also realized the importance of inheritance.

"As expected, the rise of the human race is inevitable." Kunpeng said with a smile, then a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

"Heaven!" Cangjie uttered a single word, then wrote the character for "heaven" on the ground with a twig.

As soon as the character "天" was written, a powerful aura of the Heavenly Dao descended upon the primordial world. The character "天" instantly emitted a golden light and then flew to the stone slab beside Cangjie, merging with the character "天" on the slab.

"Earth!" Cangjie wrote another character. In the underworld, countless souls wailed. They did not know why they were wailing, but a force compelled them to waile.

Even Empress Pingxin couldn't stop the wailing.

"This human race is indeed extraordinary; Thirteenth Brother's judgment is never wrong," said Consort Pingxin calmly.

After witnessing the wails of the souls in the underworld, the Five Ghost Emperors, Meng Po of the Reincarnation Bureau, the Ten Kings of Hell, and others uttered words similar to those of the Goddess of Peace.

"Human!" When Cangjie wrote the character for "human," the human race cheered. Streams of faith rose from the human race and finally disappeared into the character for "human" written by Cangjie.

After the character "人" (person) appeared on the ground, it split into a phantom image, which then disappeared from the spot.

Pan Huang, who was hiding in the shadows, was suddenly stunned, because the character "人" (human) had actually appeared on his primordial spirit. This surprised Pan Huang greatly, but he soon understood the reason. This should be the seed of humanity. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had not yet returned to their positions, humanity was not yet manifest.

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors returned to their positions, humanity should be able to manifest. However, the absence of humanity in the previous life may be related to the Way of Heaven.

"In this life, the Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth are already running parallel. There is no reason for the Way of Humanity to be subservient to the Way of Heaven. In this life, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity will coexist." Pan Huang thought to himself.

After the character for "human" was written, all the races in the prehistoric world became tense. They wanted to see what lay beneath Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, whether it was their race, or whether it had any connection with them.

But they were soon disappointed, because Cangjie wrote down a character and pronounced it as "dao".

When this character appeared, the phantoms of the Three Thousand Great Daos directly appeared in the sky of the primordial world, which alarmed even the Heavenly Dao. He originally thought that the human race created characters only for the inheritance of the human race, but he did not expect that they had such great ambitions and actually wanted to control the Dao.

Therefore, when the character "Dao" appeared, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared in the Nine Phoenix Tribe. This character is not allowed to appear under the Heavenly Dao; it is a provocation against the Heavenly Dao.

If this word were to fall into the hands of the human race, they would have the opportunity to glimpse the Three Thousand Great Daos, something the Heavenly Dao would not want to see.

After the Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared, Cangjie was pressed to the ground. He tried his best to get up, but it was no use. How could a mortal like him possibly fight against the Heavenly Dao?

"Continue!" At the critical moment, Pan Huang appeared beside Cang Jie and shielded him from the pressure of the Heavenly Dao.

"Holy Master!" Cangjie's face lit up with an excited smile upon seeing Panhuang.

"You continue, leave the rest to Master!" Pan Huang said with a smile.

"Yes!" Cangjie nodded.

Cangjie then continued to refine the character "Dao" in his hand. When he finished writing the character "Dao", it shone with golden light. The golden light emitted by the character "Dao" was several times that of all the other characters, which made Pan Huang nod.

Seeing this, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment unleashed a bolt of purple divine lightning, but instead of striking Pan Huang, it struck the character "Dao".

Seeing this, Pan Huang did not stop it, because he knew that the trend was already set. Sure enough, when the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning fell, a terrifying law fluctuation suddenly appeared on the Dao character, which directly annihilated the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

Then, Cangjie completely ignored the Eye of Heavenly Punishment and wrote quickly, reciting as he wrote. Soon, three thousand characters were written by Cangjie.

"Thus, the human race's heritage continues, may Heaven bear witness," Cangjie said loudly after finishing writing.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment disappeared, and a vast amount of merit appeared on the horizon. This merit was so great that it was comparable to the merit a saint accumulates when he becomes a saint, but it has yet to descend.

Pan Huang wasn't in a hurry. He just watched quietly, wanting to see if Heaven would bestow merit upon him.

In the end, the merit did descend, but not as much as it appeared. Heaven retained at least 30% of the merit. Of the 70% merit, 60% went to Cangjie, and 10% went to the stone slab next to him, on which were the three thousand characters he had written. Although it was only 60% merit, the descending merit successfully pushed Cangjie's strength to the level of a quasi-sage. If the power of these three thousand characters were added, Cangjie would have no problem fighting a sage.

After Cangjie finished creating characters, Xuanyuan of the Xuanyuan tribe suddenly realized that if he wanted to attain enlightenment, he had to spread these characters to the entire human race so that his merits could be fulfilled.

With this in mind, Xuanyuan arrived at the Jiufeng Tribe without stopping.
