This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 991 - 484: Shennong—the Patriarch of Farming Cultivation! (Part 3)

The people of Chaos Clan looked up to the heavens with a long sigh, feeling as though they could no longer keep pace with the rhythm of the current era.

Meanwhile, the many Tribal Leaders who had ambitions to claim the position of Common Lord could only smile bitterly at this moment.

Ever since they learned that Human Emperor Fu Xi was in the process of selecting a suitable successor.

They have relentlessly, for the welfare of the Human Race, worked tirelessly to achieve merits that might win the favor of the Holy Emperor.

However, compared to this extraordinary Shennong, the changes they had brought to the entire Human Race over thousands and millions of years might be no more than a tiny fraction of his accomplishments.

"Perhaps, ascending from the mundane to the holy, focusing on the most fundamental aspects, is the true path for the Common Lord of our Human Race!"

Many sages of the Human Race, at this moment, stood atop the city walls of Chen Capital, looked toward the distant South, and said with considerable emotion.

In that part of the sky, the burning flames illuminated it an intense red.

That flame shooting skyward seemed almost capable of igniting the clouds above.

The fortune of the entire Human Race as a result displayed an unprecedented burgeoning opportunity.

The Jiang River Basin, in the map of Primordial Land, belongs to the southern region.

And the South is the ancestral land of the lineage of Ancestor Suiren.

Therefore, the revered "Shennong" of Lie Shan Clan, while nurturing grains and teaching farming, naturally learned from those ancient legacies how to "play with fire."

Fire not only can resist the harsh cold of winter, bringing warmth to people.

It also can penetrate boundless darkness, driving away the evils and fierce beasts lurking in the shadows.

Burning firewood into flames, illuminating the Human Race.

The firewood, symbolizing civilization and hope, inherited from the Suiren era, was infused by Shennong with a new, even more vigorous vitality in this new Human Dao Great Era.

This rising human smoke.

Is the invisible force propelling the tides of the entire era vigorously forward.

Many tribal leaders had a strong premonition at this moment.

This Shennong Clan has the overwhelming momentum with Fire Virtue to overshadow Fu Xi's Wood Virtue.

Kunlian Clan was, back in Fu Xi's day, bestowed with the authority of the South by the Fire Dragon Official.

Upon witnessing Shennong's deeds, he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise:

"Wood giving birth to fire, this is the Heavenly Dao principle of five elements succession."

"Shennong opened a new chapter of our Human Race civilization through cultivating the five grains."

"His merit, his virtue, is solely good and sage."

"Undoubtedly worthy, capable of inheriting the path of the Holy Emperor!"

Subordinates from Yin Kang Clan, Ge Tian Clan, Hao Ying Clan, and other tribes also understood that this Shennong Clan probably bore a genuine heavenly mandate.

As such, everyone extinguished their thoughts of vying for the position of Common Lord and instead supported Kunlian Clan's proposition.

However, Dating Clan, after listening to everyone's opinions, seemed somewhat hesitant.

Seeing this situation, Yin Kang Clan stepped forward and advised solemnly:

"Brother, do you... still have expectations?"

"Considering Lie Shan Clan's current achievements and reputation, it should be known that its great momentum is formed. We must not act against the tide, obstructing its path."

"I, entrusted with the order of the Holy Emperor, hold the authority of judgment, managing justice and equity among the Human Race, and do not shy away from impartiality."

"If you persist and consequently make a grave mistake, I absolutely will not show any leniency."

After hearing this, Dating Clan could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"Brother, you're mistaken!"

"I am not intending to contend with that Shennong Clan."

"I was merely thinking back to when the Holy Emperor became Common Lord, he had long comprehended the Great Dao, achieving the Da Luo Fruit Position."

"Yet now, this current Lie Shan Clan, his own cultivation, is still lacking."

"If he is allowed to come to Chen Capital prematurely and take over the great position, perhaps... it wouldn't be an appropriate matter for him."

Upon hearing this, Yin Kang Clan and others also found it reasonable.

Unlike Fu Xi, who was born innately holy from a powerful Fang Country.

Shennong truly rose from insignificance.

His Jiang Clan does not possess comparable foundations to the past Hua Xi Country.

So, even though Shennong bears great Qi Fortune and extraordinary talent.

He cannot possibly achieve Da Luo Dao Fruit within eighteen short years.

Currently, Shennong is still an Earth Immortal.

A genuine immortal focused on planting crops!

"Then... let us immediately notify the Holy Emperor."

Yin Kang Clan decisively said.

"Furthermore, invite the Elders from the Ancestral Land to personally lead a team to visit the Jiang River Basin."

"First, to bring those profound legacies from our clan to teach Shennong in Jiang River diligently."

"Secondly, to prevent those malevolent beings with ulterior motives from causing disturbances."

"Secondly, it's just as well to let those youngsters in the Ancestral Land follow Shennong and learn properly how to farm!"

"And furthermore!"

Another sage added, "They should also learn that 'eating grass' technique!"

The Dating Clan heard and chuckled, "Indeed."

"In my opinion, Shennong's yet-to-be-completed learning of 'tasting hundreds of herbs' will definitely become a formidable field of study in the future!"

A blazing flame burning on the land of the Mortal World drew the attention of various forces from the Three Realms of Primordial to the distant banks of the Jiang River.

The hearts of many holy great powers grew fervent along with the flame.

Their eyes intensely focused on the figure laboring with his clansmen in the fields.

Everyone was secretly plotting and scheming in their hearts.

The Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi's ritual at Taishan to prove the Dao spread a golden light of merit across the sky, almost allowing every involved force to take a share.

This was truly stimulating.

To say they were not tempted would be a lie.

Everyone wanted to participate in this grand Human Dao era.

Everyone wanted to share in the Human Dao Merit.

Everyone wanted to embrace a portion of Human Dao Fortune!

But, it's not just about wanting; not everyone has the qualification.

A thousand pairs of eyes were fixed on the Jiang River's edge.

The owners of these thousand pairs of eyes were tempted but dared not act rashly.

Because, the merit-fulfilled Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi still remained in the Human Realm.

The sages in the Human Clan Ancestral Land were no pushovers.

Thus, everyone waited and waited.

All seeking the most suitable opportunity to intervene in Shennong's journey of growth.

And then, they encountered a completely unexpected presence.

"Oh my, why has the Shangqing Saint come personally?"

"What do we do now?"

Numerous great powers collectively gasped.

For they all simultaneously discovered that the Supreme Sect Master of the Jie Sect had personally descended to the Mortal World at some unknown moment.

And accompanying him was also one who appeared as an "old farmer."

"Daoist, what are you doing here?"

Shennong asked curiously, looking at the extraordinary presence of the "old farmer" before him.

The Daoist named Zhen Yuanzi, dressed in simple hemp garments and sturdy cloth shoes.

On his head bloomed a vibrant, fresh lotus, and in his hands, he carefully held a potted plant of lush green.

He cheerfully replied:

"I am a farmer."

"Just like you, Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Shennong grinned, revealing an immensely bright smile.

"That's great!"

"I'm a farmer too!"

Beside him, Daoist Lord Yu Chen, dressed as a swordsman, glimpsed a hint of nostalgia in his eyes as he watched the vibrant and lively future Human Emperor before him.

He said to Shennong:

"Originally, I intended to introduce you to another kindred spirit."

"She, endowed with Fire Virtue, once known as the Southern Red Emperor, is also skilled in the Medical Dao and could be one of your guides on the Great Dao."

"If you meet, you two should have many common topics to discuss."

A strong curiosity arose in Shennong's heart.

"So... where is she now?"

Daoist Lord Yu Chen heard and gently shook his head, his tone tinged with regret.

"She has long transformed into Dao and returned to the heavens and earth."

"Now it is difficult to trace her whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Shennong showed a look of disappointment.

"I see."

"If fate permits, I would really like to meet this Daoist."
