Primordial Era: Becoming the Great Emperor of Humanity from the Start

Chapter 19 Return to the Human Race, the Ziyi Clan Appears!

After staying in the Wu tribe for a few days, Jiang Heng prepared to take his leave. He had been away for some time and planned to return to the human tribe first.

Jiang Heng wanted to return to the human race because he knew in his heart that Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, would not be reincarnated anytime soon.

It wasn't that Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, hadn't made up her mind yet. When Houtu asked Jiang Heng about the future of the Witch Clan, Jiang Heng already knew that Houtu had made up her mind.

However, due to Jiang Heng's intrusion, both Houtu and the other ancestral witches knew that transforming into reincarnation was not a simple matter.

In this way, even if Houtu, the ancestral witch, were to reincarnate, she would certainly be fully prepared, as would the witch clan itself.

After all, the Netherworld Blood Sea is no benevolent place; it is home to powerful figures like the Styx Lord and the Asura race created by him.

The Ancestral Witches also had to consider how to deal with the war between the Witches and Demons if Houtu Ancestral Witch were to reincarnate.

If these matters were to be considered and arranged one by one, it would take at least a hundred years, and only if the ancestral witch Houtu were to reincarnate could everything be done without any mistakes.

However, this makes the Wu tribe more prepared, and they will likely have a greater advantage in the future war between the Wu and the Demons.

While secretly pondering various plans for the future, Jiang Heng traveled swiftly and returned to the human race.

Jiang Heng's absence this time was not long, only a few decades, but the strength of the human race still made some progress.

Jiang Heng could clearly tell this simply by looking at the fact that his luck value was constantly increasing.

When Suiren, Youchao, and Cangwen learned of Jiang Heng's return, they were overjoyed and rushed over to pay their respects to him.

"It seems that the development of our human race has not fallen behind during my absence!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Emperor Heng! Although it has only been a few decades, many powerful individuals have emerged in our human race after practicing the techniques you taught us."

"Most people cultivate very quickly, but after entering the Sendai Secret Realm, many people's cultivation speed slows down!" Suirenshi said.

Jiang Heng was naturally aware of this, as the difficulty of cultivating the four secret realms of the Heavenly Emperor's Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, and Dragon Transformation was not particularly high.

However, once you reach the Sendai Secret Realm, a huge watershed will appear. Even those with exceptional talent may be trapped in the Sendai Secret Realm and unable to break through for the rest of their lives.

"I have a spiritual root of heaven and earth here. Cultivating near this spiritual root of heaven and earth allows one to be in a state of enlightenment at all times!" Jiang Heng said.

After saying that, Jiang Heng took out the Bodhi Tree, the elixir of immortality, and immediately, a mysterious Daoist aura began to envelop the three of them, including Suirenshi.

Unbeknownst to them, the three of them, including Suirenshi, had been immersed in the profound Daoist rhythms, and it was only after a long time that they slowly awoke.

"Such an incredible spiritual root! I'm afraid even the legendary innate spiritual roots are nothing special!"

The three members of the Suiren clan were all quite powerful. If they could even enter the realm of enlightenment near the Bodhi Tree, then other human beings could naturally do the same.

Once one can enter the realm of enlightenment, even within the Sendai Secret Realm, it will still be of great help.

Jiang Heng searched the system for a while and finally found a suitable treasure.

Treasure Name: Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree!

Grade: Superior!

Required Luck Points for Exchange: 8000!

Overview: The Elixir of Immortality has a total of 108 leaves, each containing a different Daoist essence.

Two hours of meditation under the ancient tea tree of Wudao is equivalent to a month of arduous training outside. Drinking a cup of tea brewed from its leaves can also help one comprehend the Dao.

Like the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree is also an elixir of immortality. Just like the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree can also help people attain enlightenment.

Moreover, in terms of effectiveness, the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree is even more effective in helping people achieve enlightenment.

Especially those 108 leaves, even if Jiang Heng were to take them now, he would still benefit greatly.

8000 points of luck value is not a small amount, but for Jiang Heng, who is now wealthy and powerful, it is not much.

That's right! Jiang Heng is now incredibly wealthy, because his current luck value has accumulated to 23400 points.

Back when Jiang Heng was in seclusion trying to break through to the Sendai Secret Realm, he had exchanged for the Bodhi Ancient Tree and the Nine Secrets, leaving him with only 100 points of luck.

During the three hundred years that Jiang Heng was in seclusion, the strength of the human race improved, but the extent of the improvement was not significant.

However, in the following hundred years, because the entire human race was cultivating the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique, the progress of the human race's strength could only be described as miraculous.

In just a hundred years, Jiang Heng gained 23300 points of luck, which is no small amount.

Moreover, as the human race grows in number and their strength increases, Jiang Heng will gain a large amount of luck points in the future.

What's a little investment of 8000 luck points for an elixir of immortality? Jiang Heng can easily earn that back.

The three members of Suirenshi were already speechless with shock. One spiritual root of heaven and earth was one thing, but Jiang Heng actually took out another one.

With the help of two spiritual roots, the human race will surely be able to advance to a new level in the near future.

Even if they were three Great Luo Golden Immortals, with the help of two immortal herbs, they would still have the possibility of advancing further.

The three members of the Suiren clan were not only the most powerful humans besides Jiang Heng, but their talents were also top-notch.

At Jiang Heng's suggestion, Suirenshi practiced the complete "Hengyu Jing," a method that best suited Suirenshi's own Dao.

The Youchao clan practiced the complete "Void Scripture," and this method was also most compatible with the Youchao clan's own Dao.

As for the Cangwen clan, they unexpectedly found themselves most compatible with the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's "Chaotic Ancient Scripture," and thus began to cultivate this technique.

With the original cultivation levels of the three Suirenshi, who were originally Great Luo Golden Immortals, it should not be difficult for them to cultivate the Sendai Secret Realm to perfection and step into the Quasi-Emperor realm.

As for whether they can reach the realm of the Great Emperor, that depends on the fate of the three Suirenshi.

In the world of "Covering the Sky", only one person can achieve enlightenment in an era, but there is no such restriction in the primordial world.

If successful, the human race will immediately gain three more Emperor-level powerhouses, who are equivalent to Quasi-Saints in the prehistoric world.

Currently, the dominant demon race in the primordial world consists of only three quasi-saints: Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Demon Master Kunpeng.

Once the human race possesses three quasi-saint level powerhouses, their influence in the entire prehistoric world will be drastically different.

"By the way! Has anyone among our human race recently shown exceptional talent? I've recently come up with some new ideas about the development of our human race!" Jiang Heng said.

Upon hearing this, the three Suirenshi were overjoyed, for they had not forgotten how they had become Great Immortals.

It was under Jiang Heng's guidance that they were able to gain boundless merit, thus achieving their current cultivation level.

Now that Jiang Heng says he has a new idea, doesn't that mean that boundless merit will descend upon him again?

"Emperor Heng, during the decades you have been away, another primordial human has broken through to the Taiyi Xuanxian realm. Bring him here now!" Suirenshi said impatiently.

Before long, a primordial human, led by Suirenshi, arrived before Jiang Heng.

As one of the original innate human races created by the sage Nuwa, Jiang Heng was naturally familiar with this person.

"This trip has given me some insights, which also concern whether ordinary people can live better lives."

As Jiang Heng slowly recounted the story, the innate human grew increasingly astonished, eventually falling into a state of complete daze.

"Clothes? It's true that many ordinary humans are barely clothed and can only cover their bodies with leaves!" the innate human muttered to himself.

What Jiang Heng mentioned this time was naturally a great act of merit, concerning clothing for the human race.

After Cangwen created writing, the beginning of human civilization had begun, but the human race still lacked many aspects.

Although Jiang Heng had countless ways to gain merit, he knew that things could not be accomplished overnight and had to be done step by step.

After all, we are still in the era of the Lich Wars. Humans should focus on quietly accumulating strength rather than making a scene.

What would happen if Jiang Heng really revealed all the ways to gain merit?

A small merit event every three days? A large merit event every five days? It's hard for the Lich and Demon races not to pay attention to the human race.

Moreover, six sages and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who sits high in the Ninth Heaven, are also watching over the human race.

If the human race continues to accumulate merit, what will those saints think? What will Dao Ancestor Hongjun think?

Even if Heaven were to continuously bestow merit upon the human race, it would likely become displeased if this happened too often.

Moreover, according to the will of Heaven, the rise of the human race should only occur after the Wu and Yao races have withdrawn from the prehistoric stage.

Jiang Heng is now putting on a show of the human race's great prosperity. How will the script of Heaven continue?

It is feared that the enraged Heavenly Dao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun will immediately unleash boundless calamities, plunging Jiang Heng into an abyss of no return.

Therefore, Jiang Heng could only take it slow, planning a meritorious deed only every few hundred years, so that it wouldn't attract attention, right?

Under Jiang Heng's guidance, the innate human race spent several years raising silkworms and weaving cloth, finally creating the first garment of humankind.

On the day the garment was completed, boundless merit descended and merged into the body of that innate human, causing his cultivation to begin to rise steadily.

The merits accumulated over time gradually dissipated as one progressed from Taiyi Xuanxian to Jinxian, then to the peak of Jinxian, until finally reaching the Daluo Jinxian realm.

The first garment worn by that human race, nourished by boundless merit, transformed into a treasure of merit.

Jiang Heng also gained some merit. Counting the previous three times, Jiang Heng now has quite a lot of merit.

"From this day forward, I am a member of the Ziyi clan!"

As his immeasurable merit dissipated, Ziyi stepped into the sky, and his great voice resounded throughout the entire human race.

As boundless merit descended, the human race once again attracted the attention of countless powerful beings in the primordial world.
