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

Chapter 2: The Heaven-Covering Emperor's Law!

"The system is already bound to the host's original human race. As long as the original human race grows stronger, it will naturally generate luck value."

"At this moment, the host's primordial human race is growing stronger, and the luck value will naturally increase accordingly!" The system's voice rang out.

"The primordial human race is getting stronger? Why is that? Could it be because the sage Laozi is preaching?" Jiang Heng wondered to himself.

The sage personally expounded the Dao, which was an unparalleled opportunity. Although Jiang Heng could not understand it, the other humans had already been immersed in the profound Daoist rhymes.

Within that profound Daoist aura, the cultivation levels of countless humans were constantly rising, and the overall strength of the human race was naturally increasing.

As long as the human race becomes stronger, Jiang Heng will gain luck points, which is the reason for the increase in luck points.

"This speed is too slow!" Jiang Heng muttered to himself.

Jiang Heng carefully calculated that at the current rate, it would take about a month for his luck value to increase by just one point.

The sage Laozi said that he would preach to the human race for a thousand years. If he continues at this pace, Jiang Heng will be able to gain 12,000 points of luck.

It seems like a lot, but Jiang Heng knows in his heart that the situation is not that optimistic at all.

Those treasures that Jiang Heng coveted would require tens of thousands of luck points to exchange, and 12,000 luck points were simply not enough.

Moreover, in the early stages of a sage's teachings, the strength of the human race will naturally advance by leaps and bounds, but the strength of the human race cannot increase indefinitely.

When the time comes, the growth rate of the human race's strength will inevitably slow down, and the amount of luck Jiang Heng can obtain will naturally decrease.

Jiang Heng wasn't sure exactly how much luck points he would gain. But he knew that the treasures in the system shop weren't cheap.

"The host is not yet the ruler of the human race. Even if the strength of the human race increases, the luck value that the host can obtain will be greatly reduced!"

"Once the host truly becomes the supreme ruler of humanity, the amount of luck points he can obtain will greatly increase!" the system's voice rang out.

Jiang Heng was struck dumb. Such a great opportunity as the sage preached the Dao, but because he failed to become the common ruler of the human race, the benefits were greatly reduced.

Isn't this a trap? Couldn't I have just traveled through time a little earlier?

Just as Jiang Heng was feeling regretful, he suddenly realized that a sage was preaching the Dao, and he could not miss such an opportunity.

"System, is there any treasure that can help me comprehend the teachings of the sages?" Jiang Heng immediately asked.

"The Dao spoken by the Sage of Taiqing at this time is a rudimentary path of cultivation, which is not difficult to comprehend."

"The host only needs to exchange for the corresponding cultivation method to comprehend the Dao taught by the Sage of Taiqing!" the system said.

"A cultivation method? Yes! Exchange it for me right away!" Jiang Heng said without thinking.

Instantly, a cultivation method appeared on the system shop page in Jiang Heng's mind:

"Cultivation Method Name: Golden Elixir Path Cultivation Method!"

Grade: Low!

Exchange required Luck Points: Initial Stage: 10 Luck Points! Mid-Stage: 100 Luck Points! Late Stage: 1000 Luck Points!

Overview: This is a rudimentary cultivation method. Initially, it is relatively easy, but the higher the level, the greater the difficulty. Once one reaches the Golden Immortal stage, further progress becomes extremely difficult.

Inferior cultivation method? The higher the cultivation level, the greater the difficulty? Is this the cultivation method that the Sage of Taiqing taught to non-human races?

This shouldn't be! Is this the kind of practice the sage teaches? Does this mean the Supreme Sage looks down on humanity?

But upon closer reflection, Jiang Heng was suddenly startled. It seemed that there really weren't any powerful human cultivators with profound cultivation in later generations.

Even the future Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, though possessing the cultivation of Quasi-Saints, relied on the merits of the human race, not on their own cultivation.

Think about the current prehistoric world. Both the witch and demon races rely on their own cultivation, but there are quite a few experts among the two races.

While there aren't many Quasi-Saints, there are countless powerful beings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, making them far stronger than the future human race.

Could it be that the human race will be less powerful than the witch and demon races in the future because of the cultivation techniques taught by the Sage of Taiqing?

But why did the Supreme Sage do this? Was it to weaken the human race?

"No! We absolutely cannot allow the human race to cultivate the techniques taught by the Sage Taiqing, otherwise the human race will never have a chance to rise again!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

"System! List out all the cultivation techniques suitable for humans!" Jiang Heng said.

Soon, various cultivation techniques appeared in the system shop. Jiang Heng examined them one by one, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Technique Name: Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique!"

Grade: Superior!

Exchange required Luck Points: Initial Stage: 100 Luck Points! Mid-Stage: 1000 Luck Points! Late Stage: 10000 Luck Points!

Overview: The cultivation method of the Great Emperors in the world of "Covering the Sky" was created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and is extremely suitable for human cultivation. Once mastered, it grants immense combat power.

The Emperor's Law of Covering the Sky? Jiang Heng hadn't expected the system to be so powerful, even possessing cultivation techniques from the world of "Covering the Sky".

Moreover, the Emperor's Technique of Covering the Sky is of superior grade in the system, which is much more advanced than the cultivation method taught by the Sage of Taiqing.

If humans could cultivate the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique, their future achievements would likely be limitless, and surpassing the demon race would not be impossible.

Afterwards, Jiang Heng carefully examined the details of the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Law and gradually formed a clear idea in his mind.

According to the system's description, the realms in the "Covering the Sky Emperor's Law" can also be converted into realms in the primordial world.

The Great Emperor is equivalent to a Quasi-Saint in the Primordial World, a Quasi-Emperor is equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Sixth Heaven of the Immortal Platform is equivalent to a Golden Immortal, and the Fifth Heaven of the Immortal Platform is equivalent to a Taiyi Mysterious Immortal.

The fourth level of Sendai is equivalent to a Xuanxian (mysterious immortal), the third level of Sendai is equivalent to a Zhenxian (true immortal), the second level of Sendai is equivalent to a Tianxian (celestial immortal), and the first level of Sendai is equivalent to a Dixian (earth immortal).

As for the four great secret realms—the Sea of ​​Wheels, the Palace of Dao, the Four Extremes, and the Dragon Transformation Realm—they are equivalent to realms below the level of immortals in the primordial world.

Moreover, according to the system's introduction, cultivating the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique will make one's combat power extremely strong, almost invincible among those of the same realm.

Furthermore, if one possesses exceptional talent and truly comprehends the essence of the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Technique, fighting against opponents of higher levels is not entirely impossible.

"The Great Emperor is equivalent to a Quasi-Emperor, so the realm of a Mortal Immortal should be equivalent to that of a Saint. Wouldn't the Immortal Emperor surpass the Saint?" Jiang Heng thought to himself.

In the world of "Covering the Sky", the Great Emperor is already an unparalleled powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the Great Dao, but the Great Emperor is not the limit.

Above the Great Emperor is the realm of the Mortal Immortal, and beyond that are the two great realms of Immortal King and Immortal Emperor.

In this light, the Heaven-Covering Emperor's Technique truly lives up to its superior grade; it is a cultivation method that has the potential to surpass the realm of saints.

Afterwards, Jiang Heng carefully reviewed the detailed requirements for exchanging the Heavenly Emperor Law and discovered that the Heavenly Emperor Law could be exchanged in stages.

The Wheel Sea and Dao Palace realms are the initial stages, requiring 50 points of luck to exchange. The Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation realms are the intermediate stages, requiring 500 points of luck to exchange.

The Sendai and Quasi-Emperor realms are in their later stages, and exchanging them requires a full 10000 points of luck.

As for the Great Emperor realm, according to the system, Jiang Heng currently lacks sufficient authority to exchange for the subsequent cultivation techniques.

"With 50 points of luck, I can exchange them for the initial stage of the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique and truly embark on the path of cultivation!" Jiang Heng secretly looked forward to it.

With 50 points of luck, Jiang Heng only needs to wait patiently for a few years, and the luck points will be enough.

Fortunately, this was a primordial world, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exceptionally abundant. Even without food or drink, Jiang Heng did not feel any hunger.

Moreover, nourished by the primordial energy of heaven and earth, even without cultivation, humans can live for about a thousand years without illness or disaster.

When the Sage Taiqing preached, all of humanity was immersed in the profound Daoist rhyme, except for Jiang Heng.

With his profound cultivation, the Supreme Saint of Taiqing naturally noticed Jiang Heng's unusual behavior at a glance, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Heng a few more times while giving his sermon.

Even though the sage himself was preaching, there were still people who couldn't immerse themselves in the essence of the Dao. This was undoubtedly a loss of face for the Taiqing Sage.

The Sage Taiqing couldn't help but raise his hand and wave it, instantly making the Daoist aura around Jiang Heng several times stronger.

Although Jiang Heng still couldn't understand the Dao spoken by the Sage of Taiqing, he gradually began to immerse himself in the profound Daoist rhyme.

Gradually, the primordial energy of heaven and earth began to flow into Jiang Heng's body. Although it did not increase Jiang Heng's cultivation level, it made his body stronger and greatly increased his lifespan.

"A thousand years have passed. This sermon is now over. May you all take good care of yourselves!"

As the voice of the Supreme Saint resounded, the profound Daoist aura slowly dissipated, awakening countless humans who were immersed in it.

"We thank the Sage Taiqing for his teachings!" Countless humans knelt down to express their gratitude to the Sage Taiqing for his teachings.

The Sage Taiqing nodded and said, "Since I am the leader of the Human Sect, I should accept a human as my disciple!"

Whether it was his imagination or not, at this moment, Jiang Heng noticed that the Sage Taiqing seemed to glance at him a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.

Ultimately, the Sage of Taiqing chose to accept Grand Master Xuandu as his disciple, making Xuandu the Sage of Taiqing's only disciple.

Then, the Sage Taiqing, accompanied by Grand Master Xuandu, rode the green ox towards the outer reaches of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"Damn it! A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye!" Jiang Heng thought to himself, quite speechless.

Jiang Heng originally planned to accumulate enough luck points to immediately exchange for the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique and begin cultivating.

Who knew that, immersed in the profound Daoist principles, a thousand years had passed without them realizing it.

However, on second thought, this might not be such a bad thing after all.

If one were to cultivate the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique under the very nose of the Supreme Sage, and make any noise, the Supreme Sage would likely discover it.

If that's the case, Jiang Heng can't predict exactly what will happen.

Now that the Sage Taiqing has departed, Jiang Heng can naturally cultivate the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng couldn't wait to open the system shop and saw that his luck value had reached 7000 points.

It was less than Jiang Heng had expected, but 7000 points of luck were enough for Jiang Heng's temporary needs.

"System, exchange for the early and mid-stage Heaven-Covering Emperor Techniques for me!" Jiang Heng said.

"Exchange for the early and mid-stage Heaven-Covering Emperor Techniques requires 1100 Luck Points. Confirm?"

"confirm!"

Instantly, cultivation manuals appeared in Jiang Heng's mind.
