Chapter 82

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yun Zhongzi's face.

"This poor Daoist is Yun Zhongzi, a disciple of the Ren Sect, here specifically to take Cangjie as a disciple," Yun Zhongzi said with a smile, looking at Cangjie's parents.

"Greetings, Protector Immortal Master. It is my son's good fortune to be able to become a disciple under the Saint Master," Cangjie's parents said hurriedly.

Just like that, Yun Zhongzi settled down in the Jiu Feng Tribe.

Most of the tribes of the Jiuli Tribe were named after Great Witches, and the rest were named after mountains, rivers, and streams. Tribes that could be named after Great Witches were all large tribes.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Cangjie showed the same miraculous traits as the Heavenly Emperor and the Earth Emperor of the past: he could walk at one year old, speak at two, and understand reason at three.

Seeing this, the smile on Yun Zhongzi's face never disappeared.

When choosing the teacher for the Earth Emperor, everyone did not want to damage the friendship between fellow disciples, so no one was willing to be the teacher of the Earth Emperor, but who didn't want the merit!

Now that he had taken Cangjie as a disciple, although he did not know what achievements he would have, Yun Zhongzi knew that anyone who could be named by his master would not have poor future achievements.

When Cangjie was five years old, Yun Zhongzi officially took Cangjie as his disciple. According to Pan Huang's instructions, Yun Zhongzi did not teach Cangjie the method of cultivation, but instead taught him to observe all things.

Just like that, under Yun Zhongzi's guidance, Cangjie understood many principles and also had a certain understanding of the deeds of the Three Sovereigns.

"Master, this disciple wants to go to the Xuanyuan Tribe to take a look." Ten years later, one day, Cangjie came to Yun Zhongzi's thatched cottage.

"Hmm!" Yun Zhongzi nodded.

Afterward, he brought Cangjie to the Xuanyuan Tribe. Ten years ago, Xuanyuan defeated Chiyou and became the co-lord of the human race. In these ten years, the development of the human race had been flourishing.

Cangjie found a job here with Xuanyuan, becoming Xuanyuan's record-keeper, responsible for helping Xuanyuan tie knots to record events, while Yun Zhongzi went to Perfected Jade Tripod's thatched cottage to discuss the Dao with his senior brother.

While helping Xuanyuan record events, Cangjie discovered a drawback: as time passed, many things recorded by tying knots could not be remembered at all.

For this reason, Cangjie gave birth to a desire to create something that could record events.

He did not know what this thing that could record events was, but there was a voice in his heart telling himself that this thing must exist; it was just that he had not discovered it yet!

Because of the intervention of Pan Huang and the myriad races of the Primordial 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 also slowly created by him.

For example, the south-pointing chariot, military formations, clothing, etc. Clothing was invented by Xuanyuan's wife, Leizu, who raised silkworms. In addition, there were achievements in medicine, such as the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, the Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon, and so on.

At the same time, Xuanyuan also perfected the tribal alliance system on the basis of Fuxi and Shennong, proposed the official system, and put forward the initial concept of a country.

As Xuanyuan did more and more for the human race, he felt that his merits were also becoming complete, just waiting for an opportunity to attain the Dao.

But this opportunity to attain the Dao was slow to arrive. However, Xuanyuan was not in a hurry; Fuxi and Shennong of the past also spent more than ten years or even decades waiting for the opportunity to attain the Dao.

On the other side, Cangjie had already begun to create something that could record human events. 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 he began to observe the things around him.

He first started with the knots used for recording events. Soon, Cangjie discovered something different: the knots used for recording events actually had many differences, and people with good memories would tell the events based on these differences.

Thinking of this, a trace of enlightenment faintly appeared in Cangjie's heart, but this trace of enlightenment flashed by, and he did not grasp it.

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

Time flew, and ten years passed. In these ten years, Cangjie wandered around the tribe every day, muttering words that others could not understand.

In these ten years, Cangjie became famous. Everyone avoided him like a snake or scorpion after seeing him, because everyone felt that Cangjie's brain was not normal.

But Cangjie did not care about their gazes at all, still observing all things in his own way every day.

Mount Wanyao. The Demon Race had recovered quite a bit of vitality from the merit of the Heavenly Emperor and the Earth Emperor, but they did not appear in the Primordial World in a high-profile manner.

Now, the nine great Golden Crows had formed the eight great races of the Demon Race, each race having a Golden Crow as its leader, while the little Golden Crow still followed the big Golden Crow; he had more important things to do.

"It seems we have to add a fire to Cangjie. I don't want this merit either, but it just keeps coming to me. Sigh! There's no way," the big Golden Crow said in a "humble-brag" manner.

"Little brother, you go," the big Golden Crow said, looking at the little Golden Crow.

"Good!" The little Golden Crow nodded.

On Cangjie's side, he was currently sitting in the fields, watching the people working, not knowing what he was thinking. Those working people were not surprised to see Cangjie like this, because he had been like this for many years, and everyone was used to it.

Just as Cangjie was in a daze, a little bird appeared in front of Cangjie. It looked at Cangjie suspiciously and then flew away.

"Fire Cloud Sparrow! It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of bird!" Cangjie said with a smile, looking at the little guy flying away.

After the Fire Cloud Sparrow disappeared, some little birds appeared around him inexplicably. Cangjie could name some of these birds, but he could not name others.

He was a bit strange; why were there so many birds coming to him today!

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

He lay on the ground like a treasure, watching those footprints. Finally, Cangjie discovered that most of these footprints were very similar, which made him a bit puzzled.

"Why are most of these footprints similar? But they are clearly not the same kind of bird!" Cangjie muttered to himself.

After saying this twice, Cangjie suddenly stopped; he seemed to have realized something.

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

Those humans who were farming saw Cangjie like this, they just shook their heads and continued with their work.

"Among these footprints, each kind of footprint corresponds to a kind of bird, and the reason they have many similarities is because they are all birds. Since one can distinguish that this is a bird's footprint from the footprint, is there a symbol that can record human events?" Cangjie muttered to himself, stroking the footprints on the ground.

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

After returning to the tribe, Cangjie resigned from his position to Xuanyuan and then went to travel the Primordial World. He recorded everything he saw and heard on the road, just waiting to organize it after the travel ended.

Cangjie traveled the Primordial World for a full fifty years. When he returned to the Jiu Feng Tribe, he was already old and frail, but his eyes were flashing with bright brilliance.

After returning to the Jiu Feng Tribe, Cangjie went directly into seclusion. This seclusion lasted for many years.

Finally, when Cangjie was one hundred years old, he came out of seclusion. After coming out of seclusion, Cangjie's body straightened up involuntarily, and a faint smile hung on his face.

After coming out of seclusion, Cangjie had people prepare an altar; he had important things to announce to the entire Primordial World.

Because Cangjie was a disciple of the Saint Master, the people of the Jiu Feng Tribe respected him very much. When they heard Cangjie say that he wanted to announce big things, they dared not be negligent.

It took only three days for the altar to be built. When the altar was built, Yun Zhongzi and Pan Huang also came together. Pan Huang was in the shadows, because he knew that the momentum of Cangjie creating characters was very huge, even stirring the Earth Dao, so Pan Huang came here personally to protect the characters.

After the altar was built, Cangjie took out the stone slabs he had organized. On these stone slabs were the results of Cangjie's travels in the Primordial World for so many years.

"I am Cangjie of the human race. Feeling that the human race has no characters, no records, and no inheritance, I have traveled the Primordial 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, and finally realized the characters of our human race. Now I announce to the Primordial World that our human race will have characters and will have inheritance." Cangjie's voice rang out and was soon spread throughout the entire Primordial World by an invisible force.

North Sea, Demon Master Palace.

Kunpeng was stunned for a moment after hearing Cangjie's words; he did not expect the human race to realize the importance of inheritance.

"Sure enough, the rise of the human race is inevitable," Kunpeng said with a smile, and then a strange brilliance appeared in his eyes.

"Heaven!" Cangjie said a word indifferently, and then wrote the character "Heaven" on the ground with a tree branch.

When the character "Heaven" was written, the pressure of the Heavenly Dao descended on the Primordial World instantly. That character "Heaven" instantly appeared with a golden light, and then flew to the stone slab beside Cangjie, merging with the character "Heaven" on the stone slab.

"Earth!" Cangjie wrote another character. In the Underworld, countless souls wailed. They did not know why they wanted to wail, but a force prompted them to wail.

Even Mother Pingxin could not stop this wailing sound.

"This human race is indeed miraculous. Thirteenth brother's vision will never be wrong," Mother Pingxin said indifferently.

The Five Ghost Emperors, Meng Po of the Reincarnation Department, the Ten Kings of Hell, and others said similar things to Mother Pingxin after seeing the wailing of the souls in the Underworld.

"Human!" When Cangjie wrote the character "Human," the human race cheered. Strands of faith power rose from the human race and finally merged into the character "Human" written by Cangjie.

When the character "Human" appeared from the ground, a phantom image separated. After this phantom image separated, it disappeared from the spot.

Pan Huang in the shadows was stunned for a moment, because that character "Human" actually appeared on his primordial spirit, which surprised Pan Huang very much, but then he understood the reason. This should be the seed of the Human Dao; now the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had not yet returned to their positions, so the Human Dao was not manifest.

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors returned to their positions, the Human Dao should be able to manifest, but the Human Dao did not appear in the previous life, perhaps it had something to do with the Heavenly Dao.

"In this life, the Heavenly Dao and the Earth Dao have already run in parallel. There is no reason for the Human Dao to be subordinate to the Heavenly Dao. In this life, the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man run in parallel," Pan Huang said in his heart.

After the character "Human" was written, all races in the Primordial World began to get nervous. They wanted to see what would be below Heaven, Earth, and Man, whether it would be their race, or whether it would have any connection with them.

But then they were disappointed, because Cangjie wrote a character and read it as "Dao."

When this character appeared, the phantom of the Three Thousand Great Daos appeared directly in the sky of the Primordial World, which directly alarmed the Heavenly Dao. He originally thought that the human race creating characters was just for the inheritance of the human race, but he did not expect them to have such great ambition—they actually wanted to control the Dao.

So when the character "Dao" appeared, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared in the Jiu Feng Tribe. The Heavenly Dao did not allow this character to appear; this was a provocation to the Heavenly Dao.

If this character was controlled by the human race, then the human race would have the opportunity to peek at the Three Thousand Great Daos, which was something the Heavenly Dao did 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 of no use. Now, as a mortal, how could he resist the Heavenly Dao?

"Continue!" At the critical moment, Pan Huang appeared beside Cangjie and blocked the pressure of the Heavenly Dao for him.

"Saint Master!" After seeing Pan Huang, a look of excitement appeared on Cangjie's face.

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

"Yes!" Cangjie nodded.

Afterward, Cangjie continued to perfect the character "Dao" in his hand. When the character "Dao" in his hand was written, golden light shone brightly. The golden light emitted by this character "Dao" was several times that of all other characters, which made Pan Huang nod.

Seeing this, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment struck down a Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, but it was not aimed at Pan Huang, but at that character "Dao."

Seeing this, Pan Huang did not stop it, because he knew that the general trend had been formed. Sure enough, when the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder fell, terrifying law fluctuations suddenly appeared on that character "Dao," directly annihilating the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder.

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

"Thus, the inheritance of the human race can be continued. May the Heavenly Dao witness it." After Cangjie finished writing, he said loudly.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment disappeared, and a large amount of merit appeared in the sky. This merit was so much that it was comparable to the merit when a Saint attained sainthood, but it was slow to fall.

Pan Huang was not in a hurry either; he just watched quietly like this. He wanted to see if the Heavenly Dao would descend the merit.

Finally, the merit descended, but it was not as much as seen. The Heavenly Dao intercepted at least thirty percent of the merit. Seventy percent of the merit, sixty percent fell on Cangjie, and ten percent fell on the stone slab beside Cangjie, which was exactly the three thousand characters he wrote. Although there was only sixty percent of the merit, the descended merit also successfully pushed Cangjie's strength to the Quasi-Saint realm. If the power of these three thousand characters was added, Cangjie would have no problem fighting a Saint.

After Cangjie finished creating characters, Xuanyuan in the Xuanyuan Tribe suddenly realized that if he wanted to attain the Dao, he had to spread these characters to the entire human race, so that his merit could be complete.

After thinking of this, Xuanyuan rushed to the Jiu Feng Tribe without stopping.
