Chapter 99: Shennong's Daughter Dies in the East Sea, Kong Xuan Questions the Dragon Clan of the East Sea
Under the guidance of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Cangjie swore an oath to the Great Dao and successfully wrote down the three thousand characters he had created. Heaven bestowed merit upon him. Because Cangjie's creation of characters made a great contribution to the prosperity of human culture, the merit of creating characters was comparable to that of the Human Emperor. As a result, Cangjie was promoted to Quasi-Saint, while the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden successfully broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal and reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal in one go, on par with Kong Xuan.
Shennong, who was living in the Lieshan tribe, was overjoyed to learn that Cangjie had created a script that humans could understand. For decades, how to pass on the "Shennong's Classic of Herbs" to ordinary people had been a major concern for Shennong.
Therefore, upon learning of Cangjie's invention of characters, Shennong decisively left the Lieshan tribe and went to the Shihuang tribe to visit Cangjie.
If it were just an ordinary person, Shennong would most likely have sent someone to invite him to the Lieshan tribe. However, Cangjie was no ordinary person. Putting aside the fact that Cangjie made such a huge contribution to the human race, his cultivation at the Quasi-Saint level was something that Shennong could not easily put on airs with.
Although Shennong was the supreme ruler of the human race, in the prehistoric world, strength always reigned supreme. No matter how high one's status, without strength, one would not receive respect.
With Cangjie's help, the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" began to spread throughout the human race. With the guidance of the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica", more and more sick humans were able to receive corresponding treatments, which greatly reduced the mortality rate of the human race.
Furthermore, Cangjie, who created characters, was recognized by the entire human race. Shennong even personally led Cangjie to the sacred temple of the human race, and under the witness of Emperor Fuxi and the three ancestors of the human race, Cangjie was conferred the title of the ancestor of human writing, with a status equal to that of the three ancestors of the human race.
After humans developed their own writing system, they were not only able to spread the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica," but more and more human tribes also began to use writing to record their own tribal stories, so that their own history could be passed down.
Since the invention of writing, Shennong has been dedicated to spreading the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica". In addition, with the rise of the human race, Shennong, as the common ruler of the human race, became increasingly busy with affairs, so much so that he had less time to take care of his family.
Most of Shennong's children have grown up, but his youngest daughter, Nüwa, is still very young.
Nuwa was born to Shennong and a fox-woman. Shennong was determined to taste all the herbs, so he traveled to various places in the prehistoric world. Once, at the foot of Qingqiu Mountain, Shennong was accidentally injured and was rescued by a fox-woman. The two fell in love and had their own child. However, Shennong was the future human emperor, and his bloodline was too strong for an ordinary fox-woman to bear. When giving birth to Nuwa, the fox-woman exhausted all her energy. In the end, Nuwa was born, but the fox-woman died. Before she died, she entrusted Nuwa to Shennong. Shennong was heartbroken and took Nuwa back to the Lieshan tribe. However, Shennong's mission of tasting all the herbs was not yet completed. Helpless, Shennong had to entrust Nuwa to Kong Xuan for care.
At first, the girl grew up like any other human child. But when she was six or seven years old, time seemed to stand still for her. Kong Xuan thought there was something wrong with her body. After some investigation, he discovered that it was because when the girl's mother gave birth to her, a large amount of her vital essence was transferred to her body, which cleansed her body. As a result, the girl's body was different from that of ordinary humans, and her growth rate was extremely slow.
The girl was clever and cute, and Kong Xuan was very fond of her. In addition, the girl had the blood of the fox clan, and her aptitude was stronger than that of ordinary humans. Under Kong Xuan's careful guidance, the girl quickly became a celestial cultivator. It was just a pity that the girl was too playful, and even with Kong Xuan's guidance, her progress was relatively slow.
One day, Kong Xuan returned to Jin'ao Island on business, but when he came back, he found that Nvwa was missing. This made Kong Xuan very anxious. Nvwa had a simple personality and a powerful bloodline, which was a great tonic for the demon race.
Before he could inform Shennong, Kong Xuan followed the scent left by the girl to search for her.
Kong Xuan followed the trail and arrived at the shore of the East Sea, where he saw the Jingwei bird constantly picking up stones and throwing them into the sea. Kong Xuan sensed Nüwa's aura on the Jingwei bird, and an ominous premonition immediately filled his heart.
After capturing the Jingwei bird, Kong Xuan used his soul-searching technique to learn the whole story. It turned out that because he had returned to Jin'ao Island, and Shennong was too busy with his affairs to spend time with Nüwa, Nüwa, out of boredom, actually left the Lieshan tribe alone and came to the shore of the East Sea. While playing, she encountered a member of the Dragon Clan. The two got into an argument, and in a fit of rage, the Dragon Clan member transformed into a thousand-foot-long white dragon and ate Nüwa. After Nüwa died, her resentment did not dissipate, and her primordial spirit transformed into a Jingwei bird, constantly throwing stones towards the East Sea.
Seeing the once adorable little girl transformed into this ghastly state, Kong Xuan was heartbroken. In a fit of rage, he transformed into his peacock form, soaring over the East China Sea and unleashing the essence of the Five Elements Laws, instantly turning the entire East China Sea upside down.
Inside the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the Dragon King Ao Guang was enjoying a song and dance performance when suddenly the palace shook, and Ao Guang immediately frowned.
At this moment, the Turtle Prime Minister of the East Sea Dragon Palace stumbled in and said, "Dragon King, something terrible has happened! A peacock in the East Sea has caused chaos and turmoil."
"How dare you! What kind of monster are you, to dare to cause trouble in the East Sea?" Upon hearing this, Ao Guang was furious and transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long golden dragon, flying out of the East Sea.
Upon arriving at sea, Ao Guang saw Kong Xuan standing in the air, staring at him with a face full of anger.
"Ao Guang, you've finally come out!" Kong Xuan sneered.
"I thought it was someone important, but it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan. I wonder what my Dragon Clan has done to offend you, Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, that you would cause such a disturbance in the East Sea?" Seeing that it was Kong Xuan who was causing trouble, Ao Guang also looked unfriendly. Although Ao Guang was wary of the Jie Sect behind Kong Xuan, this was not a reason for Kong Xuan, a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal, to disturb the East Sea.
At this moment, Kong Xuan's mind was filled with the image of the girl's tragic death. Seeing that Ao Guang dared to make false accusations, he directly rebuked Ao Guang, saying, "Ao Guang, you are a member of the Dragon Clan, you killed my disciple's grand-disciple, and you still ask me why I caused such a ruckus in the East Sea?" Although Kong Xuan did not know who in the Dragon Clan killed the girl, it was certain that the Dragon Clan was responsible, so Ao Guang was destined to take the blame.
"Fellow Daoist, could there be some misunderstanding here?" But Ao Guang wouldn't take the blame so easily, and besides, he couldn't afford to. Who was Kong Xuan? The chief disciple of the Jie Sect, the grand-disciple of Xuan Chu, and he only had one disciple, Shennong, the ruler of the human race. Wasn't his grand-disciple Shennong's disciple or child? Ao Guang hoped there really was some misunderstanding here. After all, if what Kong Xuan said was true, then the Dragon Clan would suddenly be at odds with both the Jie Sect and the human race, a result that the already declining Dragon Clan absolutely couldn't bear.
"Misunderstanding? Take a look, isn't this a beast from your dragon clan!" Seeing that Ao Guang refused to admit it, Kong Xuan once again captured the Jingwei bird that filled the East Sea and showed Ao Guang the Jingwei bird's memories.
When Ao Guang saw the thousand-foot-long white dragon from Jingwei Bird's memory, he was immediately shocked. He recognized the white dragon as his youngest son, Ao Bing. Then Ao Guang saw Ao Bing create a thousand-layered giant wave that swallowed a human girl. He turned ashen-faced. It turned out that what Kong Xuan said was true.
"Fellow Daoist, may I go back and look into this matter? Rest assured, I will give you an explanation." Faced with the truth, Ao Guang had no excuse to deny it, but he wanted to go back and ask Ao Bing. If the cause of this matter was not Ao Bing's fault, perhaps there was still room for everything to be salvaged.
"Very well, I will give the Dragon King face. Within three days, I request that the Dragon King personally come to the Holy Temple of the Human Race to explain this matter. However, I must advise the Dragon King not to harbor any illusions. This time, the one who died was the daughter of Shennong, a princess of the Human Race. If the Dragon King does not give a satisfactory explanation, the Human Race will never let this go." Kong Xuan did not continue to make things difficult for Ao Guang. After all, although the Dragon Race was in decline, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Dragon Race of the Four Seas was still a great race in the prehistoric world. Moreover, the Human Race was not without people. Emperor Fuxi, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race, and Cangjie, the Ancestor of Literature, were all quasi-saints and powerful beings. They would not let the Human Race princess die in vain.
