Chapter 233: with translation of chapter title

The top-tier mighty ones chatted and laughed; for them, Fengxi's life resume was practically laid bare before their eyes.

In an instant, Fengxi's character, virtue, and degree of danger were known to all.

Great Luo, eternal and free in boundless time and space, means they can at any moment directly query the file records of a specified target from the most vast archive, the river of time.

Unless there is an existence of equal qualification that has beforehand done the work of tampering with information, slipping in a fake file to deceive the opponent.

But this also cannot absolutely conceal the past.

After all, those who can mix into the Great Luo level are not so foolish that just having a knack for checking information is enough.

They can also reason, they can also intervene in the past, actively observing up close by using a trumpet incarnation—

Asking, among the countless beings of Honghuang, how many Great Luo vests are there?

This could be a question that even the supreme Pangu who opened heaven and earth would find bewildering.

In this perilous world, unless one has the ability to seclude oneself in a cave dwelling for life, never communicating with the outside, and cultivating in seclusion all the way to Great Luo… otherwise, those many old seniors eyeing you like tigers will surely strip your pants down to nothing.

Character, hobbies, integrity, virtue… although they may not understand themselves as well as those who have attained the Dao by seeing their true nature and probing the truth, their overall grasp is not lacking.

So, Fengxi's evaluation result came out quickly.

Dangerous element!

A ruthless figure who drags down the average moral standard of Honghuang's Great Luo!

With too low a integrity bottom line, fiercely loving Houtu's big head, and able to get things done for money—a heroic figure!

In the eyes of three thousand Great Luo, there are three thousand Fengxis… yet the evaluation is largely consistent.

If Fengxi knew, he would probably feel wronged—

The harm to his reputation is too severe!

He originally wholeheartedly sought to benefit all beings, constructing a harmonious great cosmos… is it not just that in the process he 'slightly' resorted to any means a little bit?

As for describing him in that way?

Of course.

The description is not a good one; it can even be said to be terrible.

But this absolutely does not mean contempt.

On the contrary, the ancient god great sage values him to the utmost, not sparing in giving him an evaluation of 'outstanding ability'.

After all, it is precisely through Feng so-and-so's efforts in operation that the whole Honghuang has a flourishing reincarnation strategy… one may deny his character, but cannot deny his achievements, nor his danger.

It let many great divine abilities who stand on the demon race's camp feel their hands itch, and in the turning of their eyes, it is the prelude to the demon lord's advance blocking the way, wanting to exterminate the super dangerous element.

But they ultimately could not mobilize.

Because Fengxi had a proven breakthrough, and is in line with the game rules of Honghuang's top-tier sequence.

Whether or not there is a backing patron makes all the difference in treatment.

Having maxed out Houtu's favorability and received strong support from the ancestral witches, who could move him?

In the starry sky, the Empress Nüwa lowered her gaze.

Over the mountains and rivers, Houtu patrols.

The protection and patronage of the two great leaders, the Wu Clan and the Demon Race, let Fengxi be free of alarm and danger, with no need to worry about external tribulations at all.

After all, if even one's loyal, hardworking, and devoted close-comrade generals who would go through fire and water cannot protect one's safety, then what face would one have to stand in the world, and what face to command one's subordinates!

Thus.

All beings then saw in heaven and earth continuous celestial music, endless wondrous colors, the vast heaven and earth emitting bright light, the ripples of years sweeping the world… a magnificent and splendid phenomenon appeared, which is the process of a supreme outstanding person proving the Dao, with the Honghuang universe blessing it, never abruptly interrupted, never being forcibly erased.

Moreover, a beautiful moral radiance burst forth, flowing from Fengxi who was undergoing breakthrough and transformation, sweeping the universe, to relieve heaven and earth of slaughter, to let all beings understand the truth; for a moment, the killing aura of that great tribulation competitive era dissipated greatly, and a faint illusion of peace flickered and vanished.

This scene caused many Great Luo to shake their heads straight.

"Well..."

"This guy full of bad water can prove the Dao, I accept."

"After all, the Great Dao knows no good or evil… even destroying the Great Dao can lead to Great Luo, as long as one's own heart agrees."

"But this guy…"

"He's actually establishing virtue?!"

"His aspiration is to relieve heaven and earth of slaughter? To guide Honghuang's civilization toward a better future?!"

"Who back then was full of villainous aura, desperately harming my demon race?"

"Yet he can still feel himself a great benevolent person? His virtue overflowing, able to be a model for all beings?"

"This this this… still want face?!"

A mighty one sighed.

He felt his worldview had been given a small shock.

"It's about the same as that person back then who used luck currency to exploit human labor, roughly fifty-fifty!"

The mighty one shook his head, sighing without end.

This, however, drew the dissatisfaction and strong protest of another great divine ability: 'Báizé, how are you speaking?'

"If you can't speak, then say less!"

"How can he compare to me… no, it's how can I compare to someone like him?"

"Pah! You've muddled things! Been led into a pit by this guy!"

A certain unnamed Xihuang stood in the starry sky, retorted back, and launched into a battle of lips and tongues.

"Báizé, I've noticed that in this era you've gotten full of yourself… is it because your strength is enough? Or because I can't lift my axe anymore?"

"Where where? Nothing of the sort." Báizé the Yao Marshal slightly cupped his hands, "I didn't name names either; Xihuang, you misunderstood me."

"What I meant by using luck and merit to oppress all beings refers to that formerly famous Zhoushan real estate…… mortgage on one's back, a lifetime as a mortgage slave!"

"Really?" Fuxi half-believed, half-doubted.

"It's true, truly cannot be more true!" the Iron Brush Straight-Writing White Historian spoke eloquently, "I am absolutely not going to beat around the bush when scolding people, saying others are putting on airs and shameless."

"Oh, then that's good." Xihuang nodded, indicating he believed.

Afterwards, he floated, turned and left, revealing a female powerhouse whose eyes burned with fire, who had been standing behind him at some unknown time—

Nüwa!

"Uh..."

Báizé pondered, then pondered again.

The scene was awkward for a moment.

Killing intent permeated, killing intent ran rampant.

Finally, Báizé had a sudden inspiration and found a way out for himself.

"Wait until this era ends and the verdict is settled, I'll give you my brush to write the contents of the Annals of Nüwa—how about that?"

"Hmm..."

Nüwa's anger turned to joy, she smiled and nodded.

"Very good, you are very reasonable, very tactful."

Fuxi watched from afar, shaking his head.

"What a pity."

Who knows what he regretted?

……

The trivial matters in the starry sky, Fengxi was not aware of.

He didn't realize he had almost served as the fuse, triggering an incredibly brutal massacre and thrashing.

He was still immersed in his own path to proving the Dao.

In the realm of Da Luo, in a sense this is an ultimate achievement.

Boundless spacetime, eternal and free.

The most transcendent observer, the most enlightened awakened one.

Cultivating a lifetime is merely pursuing the ultimate of this "Dao."

"I, in the 'present,' have already reached the limit..." Fengxi's eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, "Taiyi, is the world, is the universe."

"I know and understand the Three Thousand Great Daos of Honghuang, borrowing the aid of this greatest heaven and earth, and also the reference proof of boundless spacetime, from the minute step by step to the grand, I have grasped far too many principles."

"Step by step, I discard the dross and retain the essence of the grand, condense and refine into a Dao unique to me, using the simplest symbols, evolve an infinite non-repeating solution, hide my wisdom, penetrate the river of cosmic spacetime, therein I dropped an anchor, and in the infinite variables of spacetime I locked down my own reality and uniqueness."

A nascent gleam of spiritual light settled in Fengxi's heart.

"Next, it's time to go further, break free from the present, link the past, extend toward the future, and emerge from the cocoon as a butterfly!"

"Boom!"

In the intense tremors that shook the soul, Fengxi was immersed, yet he could clearly sense his own change—he was transforming, he was ascending, beginning to leap out of the river of time, breaking free from the shackles of fate.

Rising above the river of time, it is not merely a previous overlooking, but truly penetrating a temporal axis that accommodates his own existence.

This axis may be brief, but once truly mastered, it becomes a life utterly different from before.

Because it can be infinitely divided, thus achieving countless Fengxis!

The spiritual light in his heart spreads, blurring the definition of spacetime, needing to awaken and communicate with each past him of every fleeting moment.

This feeling, Fengxi had experienced before—when he was the Heaven's Fortune Dao Master at the top post.

But now, he no longer relies on external force, but purely relies on his own Dao-fruit thought to support, cover, and embrace.

At this time, at this moment, in Fengxi's senses, the years blurred the boundaries; the whole process seemed like a sudden achievement in an instant, yet also like lingering in boundless eternity.

Between the instant and eternity, is the seeker of the Dao trudging forward, pressing on.

This is a difficult path, it is a great path.

On the path of ascension, one must transcend time, and naturally also undergo time's trials.

Time drives the universe forward, turning the myriad phenomena, creating endless possible variables…… This is a great power, an alternative elaboration of "being."

Therefore, its trial is extraordinary.

Fengxi faced it head-on, feeling a great terror—as if the entire Honghuang were pressing down on him, myriad laws evolving into endless natural Dao tribulations, striking his faint spiritual light.

There are Yin-Yang Dao tribulations, disordering yin and yang, causing self-destruction; there are spiritual Dao tribulations, muddling the mind, letting one's innate nature become dusty……

These tribulations are not set by anyone, but are a natural instinctive feedback.

Who lets the years flow forward, yet Fengxi instead moves against the current?

Not merely a simple jaunt through history, but the essence of ascension, proving eternal endurance!

Naturally, one must undergo such trials.

However many Great Daos exist in Honghuang, however many profound mysteries of the Myriad Heavens and myriad phenomena exist, he must experience that many tribulations, perfectly handling and overcoming them.

"I suppose I understand……"

"Why are many promising seeds sent to past eras to experience the feeling of historical progress…… Could it be that this is precisely to prepare for this?"

Fengxi leisurely moves forward, yet still has the mind to evaluate.

After all, the accumulation is too profound.

Having once served as the Fortune Dao Master, even if brief, is a most precious experience.

These Dao tribulation trials are, to him, mere child's play.

But if it were a lone cultivator without any inheritance in this place, who knows how many times he'd die—he wouldn't even need the Demon Lord to block his path!

In fact, many times when the Demon Lord is mobilized, it essentially proves one's talent and wisdom; truly, it is extraordinarily stunning!

"Hey!"

Fengxi gave a scornful laugh, in an offhand manner breaking through endless tribulations, awakening the past divided into countless "mes," linking the light of the spirit, letting the originally nascent spiritual light instantly obtain a leap-like growth, bright and splendid, beyond compare!

The sublimation of spiritual light drove the qualitative transformation of the dao fruit and the body.

At this moment, one side of his body stepped into Honghuang, while the other side stood in the Suiyue Changhe as Fengxi; his whole body was filled with an ancient, vast, sacred aura flowing, the boundless radiance of the Dao illuminated, shattering the misty dust upon the Suiyue Changhe, undoing the shackles limiting the cosmic rules, allowing the 'I' whose spirit had been penetrated to break free and unite with the true body; from then on, there was no longer any distinction between past and present.

This is an astonishing scene.

It is the transformation of breaking the finite and stepping into the infinite.

Infinite spirit, infinite magical power... limitless enhancement and expansion; finally, Fengxi's true body became blurred, transforming into a dim, dark Chaos, evolving infinitely, boundlessly, immeasurably.

Layers of Chaos, layers of dimensions, endless void, the true self eternal!

That is the level of the Great Luo beings!

From then on, Fengxi was no longer himself, but He, the One, the Infinite, the Great Dao, the infinite spacetime eternal great freedom!

"Mmm, still a little bit off..."

The spirit's radiance shone, revealing the imperishable and indestructible essential attribute.

Between dream and awakening, Fengxi felt the personal achievement he had gathered after enduring countless hardships; this is a perfect timeline, the foundation of the undying Great Luo... they can be suppressed, possibly losing the self, but the Great Dao endures, and that is the basis thereof.

But merely this is still not enough.

"I still need to keep advancing... So although I have gathered time and achieved a perfect circle, I cannot truly be locked down."

"A circle, with no front or back, no damage or lack, looks good, but essentially it means being stuck in one's ways."

"But straightforward, pure forward motion is an endless extending straight line, yet it is easy to fall into confusion..."

"Therefore, they should be combined to become a spirally ascending circle..."

"Viewed from above, it is naturally perfect; but viewed from other aspects, it also represents eternal progress..."

The path is winding, the spiral ascends... This is the earnest description by many powerful figures of the Wu Clan regarding the Great Luo Dao path.

It is also the final and greatest pitfall in achieving the Great Luo Dao.

Not knowing this truth, at the moment of proving the Dao and achieving Great Luo, it is also the end of one's own Dao path.

This, then, is the importance of inheritance, the precious essence of the ancient innate divine exploration of the Dao!

Fengxi drew upon those principles, organizing and defining his own dao fruit; finally, on the basis of having penetrated past and present, he initiated another transformation.

And this transformation points toward... the future!

Past, present, future... from now on, all are complete.

With the motion, Fengxi's life essence and spiritual light foundation gained another layer of change, like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon—first collapsing into a point, then undergoing an ultimate splendid sublimation, suddenly exploding!

Just like the creation of heaven and earth, the birth of the universe, from the infinitesimal to the immense, within the Suiyue Changhe it begins an immeasurable spread and radiation of its own existence!

Infinitely tracing back to the past, until the source of 'being', that moment of something arising from nothing.

Infinitely spreading into the future, occupying all the possible variables of the future, engaging in a Great Luo Dao struggle with countless eternal heavenly wills... striving to sweep away all Great Luo and become the supreme Pangu!

Fengxi silently sensed his changes, completely leapt out of the river of time, and established himself in eternity.

At this moment, past, present, and future hold no distinction for Fengxi.

His spirit, his consciousness, his thoughts exist in the present, also in the past, even more in the future, existing in the spacetime he can influence and interfere with.

I think, therefore I am!

And with these spacetimes infinitely divided, there can be infinitely many of him!

"What a novel perspective... consciousness seems to disintegrate, each part independent, yet in fact at the highest level it maintains ultimate unity..."

"One is all, all is one!"

Countless Fengxis, scattered by the Great Dao into countless fragments, fluttering and dispersing, falling into every time segment.

These 'he's' can change with heaven and earth, transform according to law, each possibly different—some are animals, some are plants, some are male, some are female... countless millions of billions of incarnations, on the surface appearing unrelated.

Yet at deeper and farther levels, these countless 'he's' are linked and structured in the most mysterious way, all being real and genuine Fengxi!

This is the secret of the infinite Great Luo armored incarnations!
