Chapter 61: Massive Fortune, Drinking to Death!

Three thousand years!

Such a period of time is nothing to an immortal cultivator.

They might spend even more time in a single secluded retreat.

But for Fengxi, it was too long, too long.

His gains here were also truly too much.

Driving the dragon chariot, he fleetingly surveyed Honghuang, looking down from on high at one splendid landscape after another.

He imprinted the cosmos upon his mind, subtly absorbing the tremendous impact and infection of vast Honghuang, and in silence elevated his spirit and demeanor.

——Reading ten thousand scrolls is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.

This is not an empty saying.

Personally feeling the vastness of the universe, thoroughly opening his horizons, not confined to a small area……After such an experience, even if his cultivation did not improve, Fengxi could still profoundly feel——

Compared to his former self, he is now completely different!

Having ascended Kunlun, visited Star Heaven, entered the Sea of Blood……Near the dojos of one mighty expert after another, he measured with his own feet, comprehended the pure land rendered by the radiation of the Great Luo Supreme Emperor's Dao fruit, and listened to the eternal holy Dao sounds……

Even if he were a favored disciple of a great expert, how could he be escorted to personally experience each of the three thousand Great Luo dojos, feeling the Dao resonance of all the Great Luo beings throughout Honghuang?

But in the Wu Clan, it is possible!

Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu advocated negotiating with all the Great Luo beings of Honghuang, seeking to establish relations and alliances……Regardless of whether the final outcome succeeded, the crew definitely stayed there for a while.

For example, the Sun Star.

Di Jun and Taiyi, the two demon sovereigns, looked at Di Jiang Houtu with mysterious gazes, yet in the end they did not adopt the behavior of closing their doors to guests, not even allowing anyone to enter.

For Fengxi, this was enough.

His time wandering on the Sun Star was brief, yet he already deeply grasped its essence, feeling the vast and boundless illumination that shines over Honghuang.

One after another, he passed through many mighty experts' dojos……Such life experience would make even a Taiyi powerhouse know envy and jealousy to the point of madness.

Because they simply cannot do it.

After all, many Great Luo beings dislike socializing, are too lazy to cultivate subordinates, and place their dojos in dangerous, remote lands—not somewhere ants can just go if they want.

Like the Sea of Blood!

In that towering blood-colored wave, rumors say it contains a drop of Pangu's impure blood, and even more, the residual bloodstains of the three thousand demon gods of the Chaos era……Even the slightest of their power would make a Taiyi tremble.

If not so, Honghuang would not have given birth to an innate divine being—the Nether River—letting it sit in command here, wielding the karmic fire red lotus……With this karmic fire, to burn away all the filth of this place.

Such a mighty expert's dojo is a forbidden zone for living beings, with billions of miles around devoid of inhabitants.

But before the two ancestor witches walking side by side, nothing is a problem.

Even when they arrived, the deity of the Nether River came out to greet them, both sides courteous and gentle.

……

In the end, besides the Purple Cloud Palace of Hongjun the Dao Ancestor, and the Demon Ancestor Rahu whose whereabouts are unknown……Fengxi has toured all the mighty experts' dojos of the present age.

This experience, among all beings under the Great Luo of Honghuang, how many can be compared to it?

Just those few hundred thousand Wu Clan compatriots!

But unfortunately, those few hundred thousand Wu Clan compatriots, in other aspects, are far unable to compare with Fengxi.

Even if everyone went to the mighty experts' dojos, one side is effectively under soft confinement, the other is wandering about—how can they be compared?

After three thousand years, Fengxi has communicated with far too many beings……Due to work needs, he cannot avoid it.

This is also a fortune.

Those beings include the powerful and the weak.

Among them, many come from various places in Honghuang—each heavenly divine dynasty, immortal sect Dao lineage……Their bodies bear the marks of various civilizations' aspects; their words, deeds, and ways of thinking all reflect something.

Honghuang is too vast; divine dynasties are countless, Dao lineages are innumerable……Each power, suited to its founding location, develops its own civilization.

And among those beings, crossing vast mountains and rivers to come to the market for trade and communication with outsiders……Isn't each of them like a transmigrator?

Transmigrators, what is most precious about them?

It is their unique worldview, different from the outside world. After receiving and comprehending the civilization of the world they transmigrated into, they actually have two sets of guidelines to direct their own development forward, of course making it easier to stand out than a 'native' who only has one way to solve problems.

But in Honghuang, all kinds of civilizations arise together……No matter how bizarre a civilization, there is nothing you cannot think of that you cannot do.

Conversing with those merchants from various places in Honghuang is equivalent to exchanging ideas with the civilizations behind them, drawing out their essence!

Fengxi has seen peoples numbered in the millions, merchants numbered in the tens of millions, understood one civilization model after another—all of it became his personal provisions, deposited in his heart-field.

Of course, often those merchants are not inclined to divulge such special knowledge.

But… merchants!

As long as the profit is sufficient, what cannot be sold?

Fengxi is not short of money!

Under the guidance of Thus line: "Di Jiang Zu Wu, he realized the preciousness of wisdom and experience, and was willing to spend money on these aspects.

Moreover, he merely bought from those merchants the history, governance, culture, and cultivation basics of the civilizations behind them, not involving the merchants' own lifelines……When Fengxi waved about irresistible heavenly treasures and spirit stones, those people sank.

He simply sold them happily, and also thoughtfully expressed——

"Dear, do you want any other civilization materials?"

"I've been in trade for many years, having passed through countless civilizations—do you need them or not?"

"Buy one, get one free—don't miss out!"

Even daring to sell his own civilization's materials, other peoples and civilizations are all the more sellable!

And the generous, wealthy Fengxi indicated he would not turn anyone away.

"Good!"

"I want them all!"

Collecting countless data, he constructed a multithreaded consciousness in his Sea of Mind, like embodying ten million brains together reading and organizing that vast sea of information.

Reading the development of civilizations, appreciating their path of exploring heaven and earth, comprehending the context of their evolution from heaven to humanity in culture, standing from a completely new perspective to observe cultivation... At every moment, Fengxi gains something new.

Although, among those civilizations, the vast majority of peak combat power consists only of Golden Immortals or even True Immortals, which appear extremely humble and weak before Fengxi today.

However, every civilization capable of supporting the birth of immortals has its unique aspects.

Moreover, let alone, within the vast sea there are also precious pearls.

There are civilizations with Taiyi cultivators existing, even supreme divine dynasties supported by Daluo... They all exist here!

Studying and pondering how these figures adjusted and transformed in the progress of civilization, researching their wise views, is a very important subject.

The more he studies, the more Fengxi feels he benefits greatly.

When he had been at Fengqi Mountain for three thousand years, accompanying the troop back to the Wu Clan's headquarters, walking on the land of the Mount Buzhou range, a pair of eyes flashed with the light of penetrating spiritual wisdom.

At this moment, he felt that even if his wealth, compared to before departure, had already gained dozens of zeros after digitization, it was no longer that important.

"Even if I have nothing, I only need to digest all this wisdom wealth, wait a few hundred thousand years, and I will naturally surpass the Golden Immortal."

Fengxi's eyes revealed a bored, tasteless light.

"Originally, one needed to accumulate resources to strengthen magical power; following the method recorded in the Houtu Great Dao Treasury, step by step building the Great Dao Spirit Terrace, without relying on so-called comprehension, one could forcibly manifest the Great Dao of heaven and earth in one's eyes, mechanically evolving the universe..."

It is just like studying all external principles thoroughly, a science.

No need to grope in the darkness; the predecessors have already cleared the road, the technology tree stands there, just follow it step by step.

"How helpless..." Fengxi sighed lightly, leading the Nine-Dragon Plaque Seat Carriage of Di Jiang to complete the final handover, returning carefree to his humble abode, sitting alone in the hall, sighing with lament, loneliness like snow, talent vast and overbearing, looking down on the world, "My comprehension is peerless, wisdom unmatched... there's no need to follow rules step by step; one step can ascend to heaven!"

"I have marvelously grasped the principles of Taiyi, evolved a primordial qi embryo, capable of evolving all things!"

It seems as if civilization has mastered black technology, capable of leapfrog development, skipping the steps one two three four five, directly speeding up to the sky, racing toward the universe!

"Taiyi, one will certainly attain it... even without these resources, it's nothing more than spending a few hundred thousand years at night."

"Do I still need to expend them to quicken the pace of breakthrough?" Fengxi hesitated, "Afterward, there won't be such a good opportunity of a big gain..."

"Should I use them to exchange for a few handy Taiyi Dharma Treasures?"

Fengxi was undecided.

After pondering for a long time with no result, he sighed, took out a jug of immortal brew from his small treasury, and poured himself a cup.

Savoring the immortal brew, he felt his soul cleansed, wanting to transcend the mundane, leap into Chaos, roam through the ages...

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, Fengxi widened his eyes, both hands clutching his throat.

He encountered an accident!

After drinking a cup of wine, he was choked!

That cup of wine, in a way completely incomprehensible, interacted with his internal mana in an incomprehensible way; finally, through several dozen coincidences, his body stiffened, making it hard to move.

For reasons mysterious, coincidental, and whether one believes or not, a Golden Immortal who does not need to breathe appeared with a breathing difficulty that even ghosts would disbelieve; the five viscera and six bowels spasmed and contracted, heading toward the road of self-destruction and collapse!

At this moment, a difficult thought flashed through Fengxi's mind.

"Burn!"

He overturned the table, fell to the ground, a Dao talisman dropped out, beginning to burn faintly, releasing vitality, soothing the agitation within his body.

"Disaster-Resolving Talisman... it really can dispel disaster, the nagging old Daoist of Kunlun Mountain didn't deceive me." Fengxi climbed up with lingering fear, coughed hard twice, the corners of his eyes twitching wildly.

"As soon as I return, they unleash a killing move... how impatient are those guys?"

"Damn!" he roared toward the sky, then sprinted out the door.

Too dangerous!

He wants to find a big shot to cover him, lest another 'accidental death' occur!
