This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 1047 - 499: Xuanyuan and Chiyou

Ji River, an extraordinary body of water.

This is a water dragon's vein stealthily descending from beneath the Kunlun Mountain Range, its waters clear and containing threads of Innate Spiritual Qi.

The dragon's vein winds and coils here, forming a vast fertile plain.

The Youxiong Tribe thrives under the nourishment of this water dragon's vein.

At this moment, if any Great Divine Power User were to gaze down from the clouds, they would discover the sky above the entire Youxiong Tribe is a magnificent spectacle, with auspicious mists rising.

These are not ordinary kitchen smokes, but the rich Red Dust of the Mortal World merging with the thriving Qi Fortune of the Youxiong Tribe, condensing into an unscattering canopy-like rosy cloud.

Within the rosy cloud, a gigantic phantom of a black-and-yellow bear sleeps soundly,

its every breath drawing nature's spiritual energy from all around like tides in waves.

This is the totem spirit that embodies the faith and strength of the entire tribe.

Within the tribe, the houses built seemingly from ordinary stones and timbers have walls imprinted with faint Guardian Runes, emitting a faint black-and-yellow aura, enough to ward off malevolent intrusions.

In the fields grow grains nurtured by the Shennong Clan.

These crops are full of spiritual energy; a common person eating them can strengthen their body and ward off a hundred diseases.

Several tamed Exotic Beasts are calmly pulling heavy stone plows in the fields, their massive muscled bodies brimming with explosive strength yet devoid of malice.

The entire tribe, with its people laboring, is bustling yet orderly.

At the tribe's center, atop a high platform carved from a single massive stone.

Xuanyuan stands quietly.

His presence is like a Stabilizing Needle, rendering the active yet immense Qi Fortune of the tribe extremely stable and condensed.

Youxiong's Clan Leader Shao Dian, after Xuanyuan came of age, continually delegated powers, purposefully grooming this successor.

Because of Xuanyuan's exceptional ability and outstanding performance in governing the Youxiong Clan with great order, Shao Dian was very pleased.

Ten years ago, when reporting to the Chen Capital, Shao Dian asked Shennong for permission to retire early and let his son succeed him.

Shennong agreed.

Thus, Xuanyuan officially became the clan leader of the Youxiong Tribe.

While Shao Dian happily retired with his wife, heading to the Human Clan Ancestral Land to enjoy a carefree retired life.

As the clan leader, Xuanyuan always worked diligently, continuously striving for the tribe's development.

To this end, he emulated the ancient Fu Xi, occasionally traveling in hopes of finding like-minded talented individuals.

During his travels, he indeed found treasures.

Such as Cangjie, Li Mu, and Qibo.

Cangjie mastered the Literature Dao, Li Mu excelled in military affairs, and Qibo was skilled in medicine.

"Xie, to what point has your 'Literature Dao' progressed now?" Li Shou, holding a handful of counting rods made from beast bones, focused his eyes and rapidly flicked his fingers, performing some exceedingly complex calculation.

After a moment, he seemed to encounter a bottleneck, slightly shaking his head, he turned his gaze from the counting rods to Cangjie beside him.

At this time, Cangjie was wholly absorbed in his work, oblivious to external inquiries.

His brow tightly furrowed as if pondering a question baffling the world for ages.

Holding a sharp bronze carving knife, he was meticulously engraving on a well-polished wooden tablet.

The carving knife in his hand was stable as a mountain, each strike creating tiny wood shavings, leaving behind a profound and Mysterious Rune.

"To discuss it now is somewhat premature!"

After a long while, Cangjie responded in a muffled voice, as if answering Li Shou's question.

Hearing Li Shou's inquiry, he didn't even lift his head, merely withdrawing a handful of dried Divination Grass from his wide sleeve.

He casually handed the Divination Grass over, continuing, "For calculations of divination on heaven and earth, you must use this."

"This is the sacred item discovered by Fu Xi Saint Emperor by the Luo River in ancient times. After much effort, the Saint Emperor cultivated and promoted it throughout the Human Race."

"In my leisure, I often dabble in it for deductions, finding it indeed far more convenient and precise than other divination methods. Why do you always neglect to use it?"

Cangjie's words carried infinite admiration and reverence for the ancient Fu Xi Saint Emperor.

Driven by this respect, he aspired to strive to emulate the great Saint Emperor, to follow in his footsteps.

Not only was he gifted in observing the heavens and the earth, creating characters, his Literature Dao, but he also mastered the profound truth of the Eight Diagrams through the study of Fu Xi's legacy treatises.

Moreover, upon hearing that Fu Xi Saint Emperor was a formidable force, dominating an era before attaining enlightenment, Cangjie long admired him.

He even planned to spare some time from researching the truths of heaven and earth to systematically learn Martial Arts, aiming for a comprehensive understanding of the Saint Emperor's Realm.

Opposite him, Li Shou was the secretary responsible for recording, statistics, and calculation within the Youxiong Tribe.

Though not courageous or versed in Literature Dao, he excelled in a uniquely profound knowledge—the Heavenly Calculation.

This study, through numerical arrangements and combinations, aims to understand and predict the change rules of all things, the rudiments of mathematics and calendrical calculations in later generations.

This number-crunching genius was also an important talent that Xuanyuan, during his travels, discerned with a Wisdom Eye from a small tribe, "retrieving" for his cause.
