Within the Xuanyuan tribe, Xuanyuan made another trip, but all four women were unwilling to return to the Xuanyuan tribe!
They even refused to see Xuanyuan again, sending messages to Xuanyuan through their tribesmen!
Seeing that the four women had made up their minds not to come back, Xuanyuan returned to the tribe dejectedly, his heart filled with despair! Su Dan Novel Network
After returning, Xuanyuan shut himself in his room for several days, barely eating or drinking!
The tribesmen, seeing their leader in such a state, didn't know what to do. Regardless of right or wrong, this was their private matter, and outsiders could not interfere!
Xuanyuan shut himself away for three days and three nights. When people saw him again, his black hair had turned completely white!
The tribesmen, seeing Xuanyuan like this, expressed their concern:
"Leader, are you alright!"
Xuanyuan shook his head and immediately summoned all the tribesmen to the meeting hall, saying he had something important to discuss!
After speaking, Xuanyuan took the lead and walked ahead!
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately went to notify the others. After all, at least their leader had left his room, which was a good sign!
Furthermore, the leader had summoned the tribe members as soon as he came out, so it must be something important!
In the meeting hall, Xuanyuan saw that everyone had arrived and immediately said:
"You must immediately take dry rations and go to each tribe to seek an audience with their leaders, telling them I have something important to discuss!"
Everyone was greatly shocked, not knowing what had happened to make Xuanyuan summon the leaders of all the human tribes.
"Leader, what happened? Are we going to war with another race?"
Xuanyuan shook his head:
"Just go as you are told. You will know when all the tribal leaders arrive!"
Hearing this, everyone knew that Xuanyuan was unwilling to explain further, so they responded and withdrew from the meeting hall, leaving Xuanyuan alone in the spacious hall!
Xuanyuan looked at the overcast sky and murmured to himself:
"Ah Lei, you are forcing my hand!"
In the Nanshan tribe, Cangjie, who had once created characters for humanity, was old and frail. Although Cangjie was protected by the Twenty-Eight Fundamental Characters, a sacred artifact of humanity, in the end, he was just an ordinary person!
Cangjie had never married and lived alone. Looking at his aging body, Cangjie had no regrets!
Sensing that his end was near, Cangjie passed on the position of leader of the Nanshan tribe to his descendants!
On Kunlun Mountain, Taishang, who was meditating, had a premonition that Cangjie would not live much longer. Taishang looked at the half-finished purple-gold gourd in his hand and transmitted a message to Tongtian on Shangqing Peak:
"Third Brother, Cangjie, the scribe of humanity, is about to pass away. As I cannot leave, please go and guide him into Huoyun Cave!"
In the Shangqing Palace, Tongtian suddenly heard Taishang's voice in his ear. He rose and headed towards the Nanshan tribe of humanity!
Upon arriving at the Nanshan tribe, Tongtian saw Cangjie's soul. With a wave of his Taoist robe, Tongtian restored Cangjie's soul to his body and brought him before him!
As Cangjie was just regaining his sight, a powerful force struck him from nowhere. His vision went black, and he fainted!
The Yin Soldiers from the Underworld, who had come to collect Cangjie's soul, saw that Cangjie's soul had left his body and were about to take him to the Underworld when, inexplicably, he returned to his body!
As the Yin Soldier was about to use the soul-snatching chain to pull out his soul, Cangjie disappeared!
"How dare you obstruct the enforcement of the Underworld!"
Tongtian had intended to take Cangjie away. He did not expect this petty Yin Soldier to have such audacity, so Tongtian appeared behind the Yin Soldier and gently patted his shoulder!
Seeing someone appear behind him without a sound, the Underworld Yin Soldier raised his soul-snatching chain and swung it backward!
As he turned his head, he saw a smiling Taoist looking at him!
Upon seeing Tongtian, the Underworld Yin Soldier immediately knelt on the ground!
"Your Holiness, please forgive me. This lowly one did not know it was Your Holiness who had arrived!"
Tongtian continued to smile at the Yin Soldier on the ground and said slowly:
"What? Am I not bold enough to obstruct the enforcement of the Underworld!"
The Underworld Yin Soldier was terrified to realize that his target of reprimand was a revered Saint. His legs trembled!
"Your Holiness, please forgive me. This lowly one truly did not know Your Holiness had arrived!"
Seeing this, Tongtian stopped teasing him:
"This person is not under the jurisdiction of the Underworld. I am taking him away!"
With that, Tongtian disappeared!
When the Underworld Yin Soldier saw Tongtian leave, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"You scared me to death! Who is this human that the Saint Tongtian himself has come for!"
However, upon realizing that he had reprimanded someone on the same level as Empress Houtu, the ruler of the Underworld, the Yin Soldier felt a surge of excitement. This errand would be enough for him to boast about.
Tongtian looked at Cangjie's appearance and inwardly scoffed:
"These humans are truly strange. Shennong has a bull's head and a human body, and Cangjie has four eyes!"
Tongtian shook his head and stopped thinking about it, taking Cangjie with him towards Huoyun Cave!
As Tongtian took Cangjie towards Huoyun Cave, with a few simple techniques, Cangjie's aged body gradually became young and vibrant again!
The recovery of his bodily functions also allowed Cangjie to wake up.
Cangjie looked at Tongtian before him, his face filled with joy. He thought his life was over, but unexpectedly, Tongtian had bestowed upon him a new life!
"Thank you, Saint Father Tongtian, for saving my life!"
Seeing Cangjie awake, Tongtian nodded gently!
"Cangjie, I have reversed time to return you to your youth and restored you. I will also bestow upon you an Upper Clarity Profound Method. You must cultivate it diligently!"
After speaking, Tongtian transmitted a cultivation technique to Cangjie!
"Cangjie, although you cultivate my profound method, you have a connection but no destiny with me. After entering Huoyun Cave, you must cultivate diligently. Your spiritual treasure has great potential for growth, so use it wisely!"
Seeing that Tongtian was imparting a cultivation method to him, Cangjie wanted to apprentice himself to Tongtian, but Tongtian said they had no destiny.
Cangjie nodded gently and accepted Tongtian's teachings!
With Tongtian's speed, they soon arrived at Huoyun Cave. The people in Huoyun Cave also sensed Tongtian's arrival!
After all, Tongtian was a Saint. Unless he deliberately concealed himself, he was like a beacon in the darkness, exceptionally noticeable!
Upon sensing Tongtian's arrival, everyone immediately came out to greet him. Tongtian waved his Taoist robe and helped them all up!
"Fuxi, this is your human, Cangjie. Elder Brother asked me to bring him here!"
Upon hearing this, Cangjie immediately bowed to Fuxi:
"Greetings, Emperor!"
Fuxi looked at Cangjie and laughed heartily:
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Our human race has gained another powerful being!"
Seeing Tongtian, Nuwa joyfully skipped up to him:
"Uncle-Master~"
Tongtian's bones melted at Nuwa's address. He patted Nuwa's head:
"Little girl, why aren't you returning to Kunlun?"
"Uncle-Master, I still want to stay here with my parents!"
Seeing Nuwa step forward, Yao Ji also came forward to pay her respects to Tongtian:
"Greetings, Uncle-Master!"
Tongtian nodded. He had heard about Yao Ji from Yuanshi and knew she was also a disciple of his elder brother!
"No need for formalities, get up!"
Seeing that his task was done, Tongtian turned and returned to Kunlun!
