After Fuxi's abdication ceremony ended, Hu Le, the teacher, urged his mount to leave.
Next came the reign of Shennong, but this had nothing to do with him anymore.
After all, Shennong was a disciple of the Human Sect, and with the guidance and protection of Laozi, there was no need to worry that he would not be able to attain enlightenment.
The countless immortals and gods dispersed, and Yama and the others returned to the underworld.
Shennong watched the countless immortals and gods depart before leading his subjects away from the Fengshan Terrace and returning to the capital, Chen...
Time flies, and thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During Shennong's reign, the human race once again began to develop rapidly, and the spread of various religions among the people was also in full swing.
The Human Emperor changed from Fuxi to Shennong. Although the lineage of the Human Religion leaned slightly towards the Xuanmen (mystical sects), it did not hinder the spread of Taoism.
They primarily target Western religions.
In any case, under the intense suppression of the Humanist and the Chanjie sects, the missionary work of the Western Sect has not been smooth in recent years.
The two holy leaders were helpless in the face of this; their disciples were not performing well, and they could not very well have to personally intervene.
They could only console themselves that the time for the great rise of Western religion had not yet come, and they should just wait patiently.
Although Taoism was developing well among the human race, the more this was the case, the more Hu Le began to control the expansion of the major religion, not wanting it to become a thorn in the side of other religions before its foundation was solid.
He wasn't sure if Taoism would experience a great resurgence in the future, but he'd rather avoid becoming a target of public criticism...
After Shennong ascended to the throne, he vigorously promoted farming techniques and popularized trade among the human race, which led to the flourishing development of the human race.
Later, unable to bear the suffering of the people from illness, he traveled throughout the ancient lands as the supreme emperor, personally tasting hundreds of herbs, identifying their pathologies, and compiling the Shennong Herbal Classic, which has benefited humanity for generations to come...
Seeing that he was about to achieve perfect merit and ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave, he, like Fuxi, began to think about finding the next human emperor...
At that very moment, both Yuanshi Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain and Tongtian Daoren of Jin'ao Island sensed the changes in the heavenly secrets and understood that the last human emperor was about to be born.
To be fair, Laozi and Hu Le conspired to conceal the secrets of heaven.
Neither Yuanshi Tianzun nor Tongtian Jiaozhu could calculate the exact location of the Human Emperor; everything depended on their own fate.
Therefore, the two leaders each sent their disciples down the mountain to find the new Human Emperor.
The disciples of the two sects traveled across mountains and rivers, traversing the human realm, and finally found several targets.
Guang Chengzi of the Chan Sect took a liking to a young man named Xuanyuan, feeling that he possessed the potential to become a human emperor.
The Holy Mother of Wudang of the Jie Sect took a liking to a young man named Tai Li. This young man was not only incredibly brave and skilled in martial arts, but also had eighty-one brothers under his command, each of whom was exceptionally strong and powerful...
After some years, Shennong, seeing that his abdication was imminent, began to travel throughout the human race to find a suitable successor.
He had secretly observed both Xuanyuan and Taili. Later, he even summoned them to Chendu and spoke with them personally.
In the end, he decided on Xuanyuan over the other two and prepared to make Xuanyuan the next human emperor.
When Tai Li learned of this news, he was very indignant. So after returning home, he secretly prepared his troops and horses, ready to seize back the throne of the Emperor by force.
Later, when war broke out, Tai Li and Xuan Yuan each led their armies to fight a decisive battle on the battlefield, and the disciples of the two sects standing behind them also joined the fray.
This marked the first major conflict between the two religions, and it also set the stage for the Investiture of the Gods that would last for the next five hundred years...
As for the ups and downs among the human race, they were of little concern to Hu Le, the Taoist leader who was detached from worldly affairs.
He only needs to sit upright on Mount Buzhou, and these winds and rains will not touch him...
After years of contemplation, he has gained some understanding of the cultivation process after achieving Hunyuan.
The realm after Hunyuan is called Hedao, and the realm after Hedao is the Transcendence realm.
As for whether there are other higher realms beyond, he hasn't reached that level yet and hasn't comprehended them.
He speculated that even the Hongjun Ancestor probably had not yet reached the Dao Integration Realm.
With guidance from Hongjun Laozu, the Three Pure Ones should be very clear about the cultivation methods between Hunyuan and Hedao.
As for him, Jieyin, and Zhunti, none of the three of them became disciples of Hongjun, so naturally they did not receive any teachings from Hongjun.
After reaching the Hunyuan stage, their cultivation can only rely on their own exploration and comprehension.
Of course, he is better than Jieyin and Zhunti, at least he has the inheritance of Pangu.
There are some speculations about cultivation after the primordial chaos in the Pangu lineage.
For many years, Hu Le has been trying to comprehend the Dao of Heaven while simultaneously verifying these conjectures...
Fortunately, after years of reflection and reflection, he had gained some insights into how to cultivate to the Dao Integration Realm...
The so-called "harmony with the Dao" means that one's body is in harmony with the Dao of Heaven, and the Dao of Heaven and I are one. At that time, the Dao of Heaven is me, and I am the Dao of Heaven. Only in this way can one be eternally invincible.
The so-called Primordial Saint is merely someone who entrusts their primordial spirit to the origin of the Heavenly Dao, thus being able to use the power of the Heavenly Dao for their own purposes. After the Primordial Body is destroyed, they can be reborn within the Heavenly Dao.
Only in this way can one be considered immortal and indestructible, which is vastly different from the unity of heaven and man in the Dao Integration realm...
However, the Dao Integration Realm is not so easy to cultivate.
After all, the Dao of Heaven is profound and boundless, and its changes are endless. Even a Primordial Saint cannot fully comprehend it.
It can only be traced back to the depths of the origin of the Heavenly Dao, where in the primordial chaos, a boundless chaos evolved. Based on the original Heavenly Dao, a smaller Heavenly Dao was created, evolving into a past, present, and future completely different from the original Heavenly Dao.
Right now, Hu Le is trying to comprehend the changes, waiting only to reach a certain level of understanding of the Heavenly Dao, so that he can unleash his creation power at the origin of the Heavenly Dao and open up a new, smaller Heavenly Dao...
Of course, this was something he figured out himself, and he never verified whether it was successful or not.
As for how Hongjun Laozu cultivated himself, that's beyond his knowledge...
Hu Le's mind evolved infinitely, comprehending the changes of the Heavenly Dao while simultaneously deducing the supernatural power to open up a Lesser Heavenly Dao within his mind.
Unaware of the passage of time.
On this day, while he was practicing his cultivation, a boy suddenly came to report that the Human Emperor Shennong had come to request an audience.
Hu Le wondered to himself, "This is a disciple of Laozi, why has he come to see me?"
However, after a quick calculation, he understood the cause and effect and immediately ordered, "Let him in."
A moment later, the boy in green led a burly man with rough skin and an appearance resembling an old farmer into the hall.
He arrived at the center of the hall and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Shennong of the human race pays respects to the Taoist sage."
"Hmm, no need for formalities, please rise," Hu Le said calmly.
Then, Hu Le ordered a boy to bring a futon and invited Shennong to sit down.
Shennong, as the Earth Sovereign among the human race, is still qualified to have a seat in his court.
Next, under Hu Le's questioning, Shennong explained his purpose for coming...
