Chapter 288 Where is Xuanyuan
Shennong stayed in Shennongjia for ten years. During these ten years, he tasted more than a hundred poisonous grasses and flowers and was poisoned hundreds of times a day. In the end, he recovered dangerously. If he ate a poisonous grass once and did not write down all its characteristics, he would eat it again and be poisoned again. It can be said that he devoted himself to the cause and risked his life to survive.

It was not until nineteen years later that Shennong finally wrote down all the styles and characteristics of the last poisonous weed on Shennongjia, and the pages recording these poisonous weeds were woven into a book, also called "Shennong's Herbal Classic".

After so many years, none of the ministers who followed him died. It was thanks to the various longevity herbs recorded in Shennong's Herbal Classic that they were able to stay young and prolong their lifespans, allowing them to live for at least two hundred years.

"Shennong's Herbal Classic" has been completely compiled. When the last stroke was made, Shennong suddenly felt a sense of perfection in his heart. This meant that he had fulfilled all his duties. He also wanted to learn from Fuxi and abdicate his position.

"My daughter, my little girl, why did you die so early? Your father spent very little time with you, and now that you are dead, your father cannot avenge you. Princess Yuan, Shennong is sorry for you."

While Shennong felt fulfilled, he also felt a sense of emptiness and grief.

The girl was his only relative and the treasure he held in his hands. He was afraid that she would melt if he held her in his mouth, and afraid that she would drop if he held her in his hands. Yet, she died so miserably. How could he not feel grief?
Concubine Yuan was his lifelong love and the one he could never let go of. He had promised Concubine Yuan that he would raise the girl to adulthood, but in the end, due to his own negligence, the girl could only die in a foreign land and could not even be buried in her hometown.

Master Xuandu was watching Shennong silently from the side. Although he knew that Shennong was the reincarnation of the ancient god Hongyun, Shennong had called him teacher for so long and he had been with Shennong for so long, so how could he not have some love and care for him?
Shennong stood on the Shennongjia and looked into the sky. The smile of the beautiful woman seemed to appear in front of him again, but in the end it just turned into a sigh. He turned around and said to everyone: "Prepare to return to Lieshan Tribe."

The ministers were moved and immediately shouted, "Yes!"

They couldn't wait to see their families. Although they had no regrets in following Shennong, their families were their support after all. How could they not miss them after being away from home for decades?

And in the decades since they left, several tribal leaders have emerged and demonstrated their own unparalleled brilliance.

Among them, two leaders were the most outstanding, standing out like a crane among chickens, and they confronted each other like destined twins, one was Xuanyuan and the other was Chiyou.

The origin of Xuanyuan is not simple. His father is named Shaodian, and he is the tribal leader of the Youxiong tribe.

The Youxiong tribe has a very profound origin. It is said to have been founded by one of the first three thousand human ancestors. The experiences of this human ancestor were also very legendary. The reason why it is called Youxiong is because after the first human race followed Suiren to the coast of the East China Sea, they began to branch out and flourish everywhere.

The primitive world at that time was very dangerous. There were demons in the sky and witches underground. The demons enjoyed eating humans and would come down to earth from time to time to kill people. Although the witches did not like to eat people, they did not have much affection for humans. They would neither target them nor protect them deliberately.

They won't deliberately step on something they see on the road, but if it's blocking the road, they won't avoid it but will simply step on it to death, so they will suffer even if they're lying down.

When the ancestor of mankind founded the tribe, in order to avoid being trampled by the witches, he deliberately built the tribe in a deep mountain forest because there were few witches in this forest.

But he did not expect that the reason why there were few witches in this deep forest was that there was an extremely powerful bear ancestor in charge, who could also be called the ancestor bear and was the first bear in the prehistoric world.

However, although bears eat meat, the ancestor bear is an innate great god. Unless he does so on purpose, he will not eat blood. Influenced by him, the bears in this old forest focus on cultivation and rarely go out to kill.

This also created a wonder, that is, these bears could communicate with humans and also protected these humans from the invasion of the two races of wizards and liches. Therefore, the ancestor of mankind named his tribe Youxiong, which means a tribe where bears come from.

Unfortunately, in the subsequent war between wizards and liches, the ancestor bear was also implicated and was killed by a punch from an ancestor wizard. However, this old forest was the birthplace of the ancestor bear. It was protected by some destiny, which allowed the Youxiong tribe to escape the disaster and was not affected by the slaughter of humans by the wizards and liches.

It is precisely because of the preservation of its strength that the Youxiong Tribe is an important presence among the human race.

The wife of Shao Dian, the current Youxiong tribe leader, also has a background of great importance. Her name is Fubao, and she is the sister of the current Youjiao tribe leader. The Youjiao tribe was the first tribe to split away. Although it was also affected by the two tribes of wizards and liches, and its strength was greatly reduced, it was close to Shouyang Mountain and was blessed by Taishang Laojun, so it was not weaker than the Youxiong tribe.

With these two major tribes cheering behind him, Xuanyuan naturally became famous. Just like the two previous emperors, as soon as he was born, an immortal descended from the sky, claiming to be Guangchengzi, the eldest disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun of Kunlun Mountain, and came specially to accept him as a disciple.

This time of accepting disciples was not ordinary. The first two emperors grew up in their respective tribes, but Xuanyuan was brought into Kunlun Mountain by Guangchengzi, cleansed by nectar and listened to the great teachings of the Supreme Saint. He was extremely talented and achieved the level of a celestial being in just a few years, which shocked countless people.

The first two human leaders were both mortals. Fuxi achieved the highest level of cultivation only after abdicating. Although Xuanyuan’s cultivation level was not high at the moment, he could be considered an immortal and could live for millions of years.

However, although there were not many immortals in the human race at that time, there were still quite a few. What's more, Xuanyuan's arch-enemy Chi You did not practice the Golden Elixir at all, but instead worked hard to cultivate his physical body. He once fought with a celestial immortal, and not only did he not lose, but he fought back and forth with him, and vaguely had the upper hand.

The Jiuli tribe where Chiyou lived was located in the south. The Jiuli tribe was not a single tribe, but an alliance of nine tribes. These nine tribes were: Yuyi, Fangyi, Huangyi, Baiyi, Chiyi, Xuanyi, Fengyi, and Yangyi, collectively known as the Jiuyi.

Originally, these nine tribes were not harmonious, on the contrary they fought day and night. Although they were powerful, due to the increasing wars, when they were weakest, they were not even as good as the small tribes.

Just when these nine tribes were stuck in a dead end and wanted to change but didn't know how to start, Chi You appeared.

He was not born in any of the Nine Yi tribes, but came from a very small tribe called Li.

Although he was born in a small tribe, Chi You was extremely powerful. Relying on his own strength, he defeated the nine young chiefs of the Jiuyi tribes one by one, making them submit wholeheartedly and recognize Chi You as their eldest brother.

The young chief of their tribe had already become brothers with the others, and the chief of the Jiuyi tribe went with the flow, resolved their hatred, and reunited. In order to express gratitude for everything Chiyou had done, the Jiuyi tribe merged with the Li tribe and was called the Jiuli tribe, and they only followed Chiyou's lead.

No single Yi tribe could compare to the Youxiong tribe or the Youjiao tribe, but when the nine Yi tribes united together, they were stronger than any single tribe, second only to the Tianhuang tribe and the Lieshan tribe.

The Youxiong tribe is located in the north and the Jiuli tribe is located in the south. Although the two tribes have not yet fought each other, the tension between them is already very strong, and they can't wait to start a war.

It's just that Shennong has not decided to abdicate, so neither Chiyou nor Xuanyuan dare to act rashly and can only wait until the future. However, it can be seen that no matter who Shennong abdicates the throne of the human race, the other party will not give up, and the human race will definitely start an unprecedented war to completely unify everything.

Seeing that Chi You had united his nine brothers, Xuan Ming, who was standing on a high point, sighed softly. She was holding a small palace in her hand. This palace looked ordinary, but it was simple and majestic. It was the Pangu Palace transformed from Pangu's head.

It was precisely because of the Pangu Palace that Xuanming was able to escape the disaster and not be completely killed.

Xing Tian was standing near Xuan Ming and also saw what Chi You did. He was very excited and couldn't help but said, "Master Zu Wu, why can't we help? If we are behind the scenes, then what is Xuan Yuan?"

Xuan Ming's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Who is Xuanyuan? Behind him is Guangchengzi! Behind Guangchengzi is Yuanshi Tianzun. In front of Yuanshi Tianzun, who are you? Chiyou and Fuyou are both dead, and the Wuren tribe and Shebisi tribe are completely extinct. If I hadn't stepped in and let the Wuren tribe and Shebisi tribe reincarnate into the Jiuli tribe, I'm afraid these two tribes would really be extinct. Now there are only two of us left in the Wu clan. If you act rashly again, I'm afraid the Wu clan will also be completely wiped out!"

Whenever the deaths of Chiyou and Fuyou were mentioned, Xuanming felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Bixia Yuanjun was really too much. She actually took away the lifespans of 90% of the people in the Wuren Tribe and the Shebisi Tribe. She even said that she would bring them all back to life after the investigation was thorough.

No matter how calm Chi You was, he could not stand this kind of humiliation and exploded immediately. However, he also managed to stay relatively sober and only scolded Bixia Yuanjun not to go too far.

This was originally nothing, but Bixia Yuanjun insisted that Chiyou's actions were disrupting the order of reincarnation and were unforgivable. She immediately captured him and threw him into the eighteen levels of hell, where he was tortured day and night.

Bixia Yuanjun was a person that everyone in Zixiao Palace had heard of. She was one of the few top goddesses in the prehistoric world. She was a senior fellow apprentice with Hengming and Nuwa. Her cultivation was profound. Even one or two ordinary innate witches could not do anything to her, let alone Chiyou and Fuyou? Naturally, she was killed immediately.

If she had not begged them hard and even threatened to die, if they were unwilling to leave a glimmer of hope, she would immediately self-destruct, destroy the cycle of reincarnation, and curse them with the last bit of the witch clan's luck. Only then did Bixia Yuanjun reluctantly agree to spare their lives, but only let them reincarnate and become human beings to become part of the Human Emperor's tribulation.

But the damage done to the Wuren tribe and the Shebisi tribe was irreparable. Now the Wu tribe is reduced to only a few big cats and small cats, and the only remaining Hunyuan masters are her and Xingtian. But their old rivals, the demon tribe, are living a comfortable life.

After all, they have the support of Nuwa, and with her support, they will naturally not be implicated by the way of heaven. Although the six emperors of heaven died or were injured, the two masters Bai Ze and Kunpeng were unharmed.

Bai Ze even raised the banner of the Demon Court and gathered many defeated demon gods and demon saints in the East China Sea, including many who had achieved the state of Hunyuan.

All these things combined made Xuan Ming feel mentally and physically exhausted.

Xing Tian gritted his teeth, wishing he could raise the axe in his hand again and create a new world, but for the sake of the Hou Tu tribe, he could not do so.

After Shennong returned to the tribe, it naturally caused a great sensation. Although he had been gone for a long time, his reputation was still strong and no one dared to challenge him.

After he spread the "Shennong Herbal Classic", his reputation reached a new level. Compared with the former Fuxi, it was even more famous. At this time when his reputation was at its peak, Shennong suddenly announced something that shocked everyone, but it was also something that had been expected. That was that he wanted to abdicate the position of the common leader of the human race and invite the clan leaders of all ethnic groups in the world to come and discuss the matter.

When Shennong told this story, it caused a lot of shock and uproar, and some people who were proud of their own strength had already been ready to take action.

As soon as they got the news, they set off overnight, traveling day and night. In just a few days, countless group leaders arrived at the Lieshan tribe, eagerly waiting, hoping that they would be the future winners.

Shennong sat on a high platform, looking at countless people gathering here from afar. Suddenly, trivial memories flashed through his mind, including people in red robes traveling to all corners of the world; spiritual fruits that were as big as babies; miserable winds and rains, dark clouds turning into the sky; red robes stained with blood, and purple air floating away.

Compared with these trivial memories, his memories of the past few decades were like an ant standing in front of a giant tree. The slightest collision would shatter it into pieces, and in an instant, countless events from the past were recalled to him.

"That's it...that's it..."

Shennong closed his eyes. He didn’t know whether to call himself Lieshan or Hongyun.

As soon as he remembered his past life, the memories and luck from the unknown surged inwardly. At the same time, a divine consciousness penetrated countless distances and poured into his sea of ​​consciousness, revealing everything he did not understand.

"Brother Zhen Yuanzi has done so much for me that I am ashamed to see him. I don't know how much the two saints from the West paid to get the Supreme Lord Lao to agree that I can be the Emperor of the Earth. Well, if I refuse the position of Emperor of the Earth, I will have no better position to sit in the future."

Shennong's mind turned, and he immediately suppressed the memory of Hongyun in his heart. He could only be Lieshan, and could only be Shennong. He was no longer Hongyun. He didn't want to care about the past events, and let everything go with the wind.

Since he remembered his past life, Shennong naturally knew who Yuanshi Tianzun had chosen to be the Emperor of Man.

He was only distracted for a few minutes, and the people from the countless tribes below had already started arguing fiercely. Between the lines, they were attacking the other tribe leaders for being unworthy of being the leader of the human race, and that the head of their own family was the focus of everyone's attention.

Among them, the most fierce quarrels came from the Youxiong tribe and the Jiuli tribe.

Neither of the two tribes took the other tribe seriously. They knew that the other was their lifelong enemy, so they swore at each other with all kinds of foul language and spit, wishing they could curse the other to death.

Shennong was displeased when he saw this, and he coughed lightly. Countless people from the tribes immediately became quiet, and all looked at Shennong expectantly, hoping that he would give them the answer they wanted to hear.

Shennong said calmly: "Where is Xuanyuan, the chief of the Youxiong tribe?"
