The vine tribe has been in existence for forty-two years.
At this time, the Teng tribe had grown immensely powerful, and the tribal settlements along the Nan River expanded larger and larger, gradually beginning to take the form of a primitive city-state.
After the tribe developed stably, Jiang Xuan spent more time on his family and himself, and began to explore the way to become a god.
It is said that in extremely ancient times, there was a person who became a god and was the ancestor of mankind.
However, because the time is too long and there is no information or evidence left, it is just an ancient legend.
In fact, let alone becoming a god, even a nine-color warrior is extremely rare. Before Jiang Xuan, a nine-color warrior had not appeared for hundreds of years.
Therefore, if one wants to become a god, no one can help him but himself.
In order to become a god, Jiang Xuan traveled almost all over the north and south continents, visited the totem gods of various tribes, and tried to find a path suitable for himself from the experiences of these totem gods.
Unfortunately, the races of these totem gods are so strange and varied, and the process of becoming gods is full of adventures and coincidences, so there is not much valuable reference at all.
The only one that is relatively close to human form is the totem god of the ape tribe, but he himself can't say anything. The reason why he can become a god is more due to instinct and adventure.
In the end, Jiang Xuan returned to the Teng tribe and sat under the divine vine for three whole days.
On the morning of the fourth day, Shen Teng said leisurely: "Perhaps you can try the physical training methods from your previous life. Maybe you can find some inspiration from them."
"A method to train your body?"
Jiang Xuan thought about it carefully for a moment, felt that it made sense, and decided to try it decisively.
In his previous life, because he often sat for long periods of time and had poor health, he learned many ways to exercise, including "Tai Chi", "Five Animal Exercises", "Eight-Section Brocade", "Eight-Part Vajra Exercises", etc.
Unfortunately, his mind was unstable at that time, and he often worked overtime. He didn't want to move after get off work, and he only exercised for a few days and then slacked off for a few days.
However, even so, he had learned those simple skills, but he had only practiced them less.
"Let's start with Ba Duan Jin. The first move is to lift your hands to the sky and regulate your three energizers..."
Jiang Xuan followed the requirements of Ba Duan Jin, calmed his mind, and practiced under the sacred vine tree with the corresponding breathing method.
His strange behavior soon attracted the attention of the members of the Vine Tribe near the altar.
"What is the chief doing?"
"I don't know. His movements are so strange."
“…”
Everyone was talking about it, but no one dared to go up and ask in person.
Because the altar is a sacred place for the entire tribe, and the sacred vine is the belief of all the tribesmen, ordinary people dare not approach it at all.
Only a few brave kids tried to go over excitedly, but were blocked by a layer of soft green light.
It turned out that the divine vine had already set up a barrier, allowing Jiang Xuan to explore the path to becoming a god without being disturbed.
Under the divine vine, as time passed, Jiang Xuan gradually entered a wonderful state. His movements became more and more natural, and his breathing became longer and longer.
Gradually, he forgot the time, where he was, and everything. He seemed to become one with the heaven and earth, breathing with nature.
I don’t know how long it took or how many times he practiced it, but Jiang Xuan felt a heat emerging in his lower abdomen.
This heat goes up along the spine to the top of the head, then flows back to the lower abdomen through the chest, which is very wonderful.
“Boom…”
Summer rain comes suddenly.
As the strong wind swept in with the dark clouds, lightning and thunder appeared one after another, and heavy rain fell in an instant.
“Clatter…”
Dense raindrops washed the earth, washing away the smoke and summer heat, and bringing a cool breeze to the forest.
Jiang Xuan woke up in the heavy rain and came out of that strange state.
“It’s raining.”
As he looked around, he saw a distant mountain range hazy in the rain, and the accumulated water on the ground kept flowing to lower places.
Jiang Xuan looked up and asked, "God Teng, how long have I been practicing?"
"Three days and three nights."
Jiang Xuan was surprised: "So long?"
Shen Teng asked curiously: "I feel a special energy appearing in your body, please feel it carefully."
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he immediately carefully felt the changes in his body.
Soon, he clearly felt a circulating heat in his body. This heat made him feel warm all over and very comfortable.
"What is this? Is this the legendary true qi?"
Shen Teng said: "That should be the case. The environment in this world is completely different from that on Earth. The essence of the sun and the moon and the spiritual energy really exist here."
"You've eaten a lot of good food over the years, and coupled with your hard work and practice every day, your foundation is already far superior to that of ordinary people."
"If you can really cultivate true qi, perhaps you can embark on a cultivation path that belongs to the human race."
When Jiang Xuan heard these words, he was immediately cheered up and wanted to practice again.
However, Shen Teng immediately stopped him and said, "Everything is excessive. You have been practicing for three days. Eat something and take a rest first."
Jiang Xuan said embarrassedly: "Now that you mention it, I do feel very hungry. I'll go back and eat something first."
Jiang Xuan thanked the divine vine for its care and returned to the bamboo forest courtyard.
…
In April of the 42nd year of the Teng Tribe, Jiang Xuan cultivated his first true qi.
In December of the 42nd year of the Teng Tribe, Jiang Xuan discovered a way to combine the power of true Qi and totem, doubling his strength.
In February of the forty-fifth year of the Teng Tribe, Jiang Xuan successfully cultivated his first magical power.
The following year, Jiang Xuan cultivated himself into a demigod!
…
June, the 46th year of the Teng tribe.
Jiang Xuan rode on Purple Eagle Tangyuan and brought Chishao back to the ancestral land of the Teng tribe.
A member of the Teng tribe who has made significant contributions to the development of the Teng tribe is about to pass away.
This member of the tribe is named Gansong.
In the second year of Teng Tribe, Gan Song led ten tourists to Teng Tribe and became the first group of tourists to join Teng Tribe.
Although he only has one arm, his abilities are still outstanding, and he is as good as humans in hunting and gathering.
Later, he became the first leader of the Teng tribe's planting team. He devoted himself to reclaiming wasteland and cultivating land for the tribe, and made indelible contributions to the food security of the Teng tribe.
When he was a little older, with the development of the tribe, the planting team grew rapidly. Gan Song felt that he was not capable enough, so he took the initiative to resign and selected a qualified successor "Shuicang" from the planting team.
After leaving office, Gan Song was not idle. In order to prevent desertification from spreading to the ancestral land of the Teng tribe, he devoted almost all his time and energy to the cause of sand prevention and control.
He has been fighting desertification for more than 30 years, found dozens of alkali-resistant and drought-resistant plants, planted an entire forest for the Teng tribe, and successfully prevented the desert caused by climate change from advancing towards the Teng tribe's ancestral land.
He devoted almost his entire life to the Teng tribe, and the hard work exhausted his life.
This year, he is seventy-one years old and is on his deathbed.
On June 15th, Jiang Xuan rushed back to the ancestral land of the Teng tribe and ran straight to the house where Gan Song lived.
At this time, the house and outside were crowded with people, and Gan Song's relatives and friends were all there to see him off.
After Jiang Xuan arrived, everyone consciously made way for him to walk directly to Gan Song's bed.
"Gan Song, the chief and the witch are here to see you."
Gan Song's wife whispered something in his ear, then wiped her tears and stepped aside.
When Jiang Xuan saw Gan Song's current situation, even though he was already a demigod, his nose still felt sore and his eyes instantly became moist.
Gan Song was wearing a linen robe, with sunken eye sockets, dark skin, and a skinny body.
"Chief, Wu..."
Gan Song struggled to support himself on the edge of the bed with his hands, trying to sit up.
"Gan Song, lie down quickly, lie down quickly..."
Jiang Xuan grasped his skinny hand and gently placed him on the bed.
Gan Song's hands were too thin, and because of years of hard work, their hands were cracked like old tree bark and very rough.
Jiang Xuan turned to look at Chishao, with a pleading look in his eyes.
Chishao stepped forward, checked Gansong's body, then gently shook his head at Jiang Xuan.
When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and sob softly.
Jiang Xuan suppressed his sadness and asked softly, "Gan Song, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Gan Song looked at Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao and the people in the room, shook his head slowly, and said with a smile on his face: "Chief... I am very satisfied to be able to live until now."
After Gan Song finished speaking, he seemed to remember something: "Chief, I... I only have one last request."
Jiang Xuan held Gan Song's hand tightly and said firmly: "You tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Gan Song pointed to the northwest with a trembling hand and said, "After I die... I want to be buried there... and plant a red willow tree on my body. This way, my corpse can be turned into fertilizer and play a role..."
Jiang Xuan's heart trembled: "This... You have worked hard for the tribe all your life, how can I do such a thing..."
Gan Song tightly grasped Jiang Xuan's hand and begged, "Chief..."
Jiang Xuan turned around and looked at Gan Song's wife who was standing beside him, asking for her opinion.
Gan Song's wife shed tears and nodded, agreeing with Gan Song's words.
Jiang Xuan turned to look at Gan Song, met his expectant gaze, and finally nodded.
"Be content... in this life... you should be content..."
The smile on Gan Song's face spread like ripples. He looked carefully at everyone in the room again, then slowly closed his eyes.
After a moment, Gan Song opened his mouth slightly and let out a long breath. The hand that was holding Jiang Xuan lost its strength and slipped down involuntarily.
"Nard! Nard!!!"
Jiang Xuan finally couldn't hold back his tears, and everyone in the room started crying too.
After Gan Song passed away, Jiang Xuan buried him in the desert forest northwest of Teng Tribe according to his will.
Because he felt indebted, Jiang Xuan placed many precious burial objects for Gan Song.
After Chishao finished reciting the soothing spell, Jiang Xuan personally planted a red willow sapling behind Gansong's grave.
In a few years, this red willow tree will grow up and become the vanguard in resisting wind and sand.
…
Starting from the 46th year of the Teng tribe, the first group of tribesmen who expanded the territory for the Teng tribe began to pass away one after another.
In their place were the new generation of members of the Teng tribe.
This group of tribesmen grew up when the Teng tribe rose. They had experienced hardships and witnessed glory. They were very loyal and proud of the tribe.
Thanks to the efforts of the new generation of tribesmen, the Teng tribe continues to develop steadily, and various products and technologies are constantly being innovated, benefiting the tribes of the entire primitive continent.
Gradually, Jiang Xuan's children, Jiang Ze and Jiang Qingwen, also grew up and began to stand on their own.
The successive departures of old friends and the independence of his children gave Jiang Xuan a deeper understanding of life.
In the fifty-third year of the Teng tribe, Jiang Xuan stepped down as leader and was succeeded by Jiang Ze.
Afterwards, he devoted more time to cultivation and continued to explore the path to becoming a god.
…
In the eighty-eighth year of the Teng tribe, an extremely thick, inky black cloud suddenly gathered over the Teng tribe, and rumbling thunder shook the earth.
Shen Teng looked at the sky and smiled: "This kid is finally going to become a god."
Afterwards, countless members of the Teng tribe ran out to witness the miracle created by Jiang Xuan.
“Whoosh!”
A figure rushed out from the bamboo forest. He flew straight into the sky without any external force! This was simply unbelievable and bizarre.
Before Jiang Xuan, let alone humans, even the totem gods of small tribes, if they were not from a race that could fly naturally, only possessed some magical powers and did not have the ability to fly.
However, Jiang Xuan successfully created a flying skill similar to the Cloud-Tending Technique through his own exploration.
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
A thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck directly towards Jiang Xuan who was floating in the sky.
"bring it on!"
Instead of defending, Jiang Xuan swung his fist directly into the sky, shattering all the lightning.
“Boom…”
The heaven seemed angry, and the thunder became louder and more terrifying.
Then, lightning struck one after another, and the dazzling lightning drowned Jiang Xuan, and he could only vaguely see a blurry figure.
"Xuan, you must succeed!"
Chishao and Qingye stood together, both staring at the sky nervously, praying that Jiang Xuan could successfully overcome the tribulation.
"Dad, you must succeed!"
Behind them, Jiang Ze and Jiang Qingwen, who have grown up, stood side by side, both nervous and looking forward to the moment when Jiang Xuan became a god.
Uncaria rhynchophylla, stone loach, Arisaema confusa, Nepeta tenuifolia, wind grass, Olea europaea and others were all staring at the sky, and everyone was praying that Jiang Xuan could successfully overcome the tribulation.
"Break it for me!"
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, an earth-shaking roar was heard from the sky.
I saw a ray of golden divine light violently penetrate through the dense lightning and blast straight into the sky.
"boom!"
In the sky, a big hole was forcibly pierced through the thick dark clouds, and even the lightning disappeared briefly.
Then, a golden figure rushed into the sky and plunged into the dark clouds, running rampant in the clouds, extremely brutally.
Gradually, the dark clouds dissipated, and golden divine light bloomed from Jiang Xuan's body as he slowly fell from the sky.
"babble!"
The purple eagle glutinous rice balls rushed to Jiang Xuan at the fastest speed and kept making high-pitched chirping sounds around Jiang Xuan.
"Moo!"
On the ground, the Black Wind Rhinoceros Crescent roared towards the sky, congratulating its master for becoming a god.
"Chief Xuan has become a god!"
In the Teng tribe, everyone looked at the golden figure in the sky with joy and cheers, bursting into shouts like a tsunami.
Chishao and others were so excited that it was difficult to describe in words. They hugged the people around them tightly and cried with joy.
The sacred vine laughed heartily, and all its branches and leaves swayed gently.
At this point, the Teng tribe became a large tribe with two gods at the same time!
Not only that, after Jiang Xuan became a god, he also passed on the cultivation methods he had figured out to the people of the Teng tribe, so that everyone has the opportunity to become a god!
…
The news of Jiang Xuan's deification quickly spread throughout the northern and southern continents, causing a huge sensation. Almost every tribe that received the news was talking about it.
As time went by, Jiang Xuan was gradually honored as the "human god" by people from all tribes! In the Spider Tribe, the 102-year-old Red Spider was stunned when he heard the news, then chuckled and said, "What human god? He's just the brat I almost slept with back then..."
"What a pity! If you miss it, you'll miss it forever. You'll never be able to sleep again..."
There was some regret in Red Spider's eyes. She recalled the memories of the past, and it seemed as if she saw the scene of her first meeting with Jiang Xuan again...
