Xuan Tian shouted, "Foolish child, wake up!" He then casually scattering a beam of Xuan Yuan spiritual light towards Cang Jie.

The moment the primordial spiritual light touched Cangjie, he felt a jolt throughout his body, and his vision cleared. He found himself facing his teacher, the Sage Xuantian. He hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

It turns out that Cangjie had already created writing. However, while the creation of writing benefited the spread of human civilization and the progress of humankind—a truly meritorious act—human progress would not be interrupted. Even if, for various reasons, human society might stagnate or even temporarily regress, overall human progress would not change. But precisely because of the emergence of writing, the secrets of heaven and earth would inevitably be revealed. Given time, the primordial world would likely hold no more secrets, and other species, under human interference, would forever lose the opportunity to become the protagonists of the universe. Therefore, the creation of writing was also a most defying act against nature.

It is against the will of Heaven that one will be punished by Heaven. If Cangjie had created characters on his own, he would have been tested and punished by Heaven. However, Cangjie was on Penglai Island, the sacred site of a sage, and the Heavenly Tribulation was dispersed by Xuantian before it appeared. But it was still against the will of Heaven. Therefore, Cangjie's state just now was the growth of inner demons, another manifestation of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Xuan Tian smiled and waved to help Cang Jie up, saying, "Creating characters is a heaven-defying act. Your cultivation is not high enough to resist the growth of inner demons, which is why you lost your composure just now."

Cangjie suddenly realized, no wonder he felt something was wrong earlier, and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master." After a pause, he added, "This matter still requires your help, Master."

Xuan Tian smiled and waved his hand, a ray of spiritual light attaching to Cang Jie. Instantly, Cang Jie became as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, his spirits soaring. He took out the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush given to him by Xuan Tian and recited in the direction of the primordial land: "Today, Cang Jie, a disciple of the Holy Father Xuan Tian of the human race on Penglai Island, has completed the creation of characters in order to educate all the people of the primordial world. All beings, please remember my characters."

Cangjie himself had little cultivation, and if someone else had created characters as frantically as him, they would have died long ago. Fortunately, Penglai Island was rich in spiritual energy, and spiritual fruits were constantly supplied to Cangjie, which could extend his lifespan. However, he knew that his abilities were meager, and if he wanted to perform this educational work and use his great magic to present the characters he created to all living beings in the prehistoric world, he still needed the help of Xuantian.

Upon hearing Cangjie's words, all the beings of the primordial world bowed down to Huang Pang on Penglai Island. Huang Pang Xuanyuan even led his entire clan to bow down to the East Sea, proclaiming, "May our Holy Father live as long as Heaven, and may the Great God Cangjie be at peace."

The human population is now enormous. Under the rule of the Three Sovereigns, the population has surged to billions, truly making them a great race in the primordial world.

How spectacular would it be if billions of humans shouted at the same time? (I don't know) How immense would the mental power generated be? It even made the sages beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens marvel and feel extremely envious.

After Cangjie finished speaking, he swiftly swung his Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush in the air and wrote a large character "天" (Heaven). Cangjie shouted, "天!" and seven-colored rays of light descended from the sky onto the character "天". The entire character "天" instantly magnified hundreds of times and rose into the air. The image spread throughout the prehistoric world, and the prehistoric humans quickly memorized it. After a while, the character "天" flew back to Cangjie and transformed into a small character that circled around him.

The scene was truly spectacular. Every time Cangjie wrote a character, a seven-colored ray of light would fly to the character and then return to Cangjie. The people of Penglai Island were dumbfounded. Although they had heard Xuantian say that creating characters was a great merit, they had never seen anything like it.

As Cangjie wrote characters, he read them aloud. As he wrote more and more characters, more and more golden characters appeared around him. These characters, each as large as a beam of light, enveloped Cangjie and illuminated the sky above Penglai Island with a rainbow of colors.

After writing a thousand characters, Cangjie put away the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush and said, "The Thousand Characters of the Primordial Era are now complete! Collect!" The thousand glowing characters immediately flew towards Cangjie and entered his body. Twenty percent of them flew towards Xuantian, who waved his hand and collected them.

A flash of golden light appeared around Cangjie, and his magical power surged. His cultivation level soared like a rocket, rising from a mortal to the Great Luo Immortal realm. Such a rapid ascent left onlookers speechless. Considering that Cangjie had only been alive for forty or fifty years since successfully creating characters, his sudden attainment of the Great Luo Dao Fruit was truly enviable. Even Hongjun might not have been able to match this speed.

After Cangjie gained the great merit of creating characters, his cultivation level rose directly to the Great Luo Immortal realm. It is likely that in a few more years, he will be able to cultivate to the position of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

After Cangjie collected the merit, everyone went up to congratulate him. Although some were jealous that his cultivation had come so easily, they also knew that he had earned it through his own abilities. This merit was not easy to obtain, and they themselves probably couldn't do it.

Cangjie stepped forward and bowed deeply to Xuantian, saying, "My achievements are entirely due to your guidance, Master. On behalf of all the people of the prehistoric world, I thank you, Master." He then bowed again.

Xuan Tian helped Cang Jie up and said, "You don't need to say that. Your achievements are not due to my efforts. Apart from the guidance I gave you, the rest is mostly due to your own hard work." He paused, then added, "Now that you have received the help of great merit, you can go to your senior sister to get the 'Penglai Treasure Book' and choose a cultivation method that suits you. You must not let your cultivation fall behind." Cang Jie nodded in agreement.

Xuan Tian thought for a moment, then said to Cang Jie, "Give me your Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush, and I will refine it."

Cangjie quickly handed it to Xuantian. After Xuantian took it, he took out a portion of the twenty percent of the merit he had previously gained from creating characters and put it into the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush. He then began to refine it on the spot.
