Chapter 2240: Fuxi

Greetings, venerable ancestor Fuxi!

Han Que shouted excitedly.

Xiao Feng lowered his head and covertly glanced at Fuxi's appearance.

This ancestor looked middle‑aged, wearing a cyan robe, his features magnificent; he bore both dignity and an approachable air.

No need for formalities.

Fuxi said lightly, and Han Que involuntarily rose to his feet.

Xiao Feng also dropped his disguise, restoring his original appearance.

However, Fuxi did not look at him; his attention was wholly on Han Que.

Han Que, your fortune and opportunity are decent; having passed the Illusory Realm's heart‑tempering, you may become a nominal disciple under my gate. I possess nineteen layers of teachings; I now transmit to you the Wind‑Penetrating Technique—are you willing to learn? Fuxi asked.

Eager to learn! I beseech the venerable ancestor to impart the Dao! Han Que excitedly wanted to kneel again.

The Dao Patriarch personally imparting the Dao is a blessing cultivated over eight hundred lifetimes; to obtain such an opportunity is already cause for gratitude to heaven and earth—who would dare be picky?

Moreover, the Wind‑Penetrating Way perfectly matches his previous wind‑system cultivation; the Dao Patriarch is teaching according to aptitude, which is absolutely the most suitable thing for him, leaving no need for selectivity.

Fuxi nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed at Han Que's forehead.

A strand of azure light entered; the transmission of the Dao was completed in a single thought, without any cumbersome procedure.

Even the formal initiation ceremony was omitted; it was extremely simple.

Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling a bit envious, expressing that he too wanted to learn some skills from Fuxi.

The nineteen‑layered teachings… Fuxi is skilled in so many things.

Xun represents wind, one of the eight trigrams, merely one‑eighth of the primordial eight trigrams.

But if cultivated to the extreme, it can also become an eternal‑level

controller.

Moreover, the varieties of teachings mastered by Patriarch Fuxi are many more, showing how profound the wisdom of this oldest human Dao Patriarch is.

Han Que received the inheritance guidance, needing to digest a vast amount of knowledge; temporarily unable to act, he closed his eyes and sat where he was.

From beginning to end, he never saw Xiao Feng.

Or rather, he did not know who Xiao Feng was.

Although he had removed his disguise, with Fuxi before him Han Que had no mind to look left and right, so he failed to notice him.

At this moment, Fuxi turned his head to look at Xiao Feng and Feng Feng Shi.

On that dignified yet gentle face appeared a faint smile: 'Not bad, further progress.'

It was unclear whom he was referring to.

'Venerable ancestor.' Xiao Feng greeted again.

Feng Feng Shi was quite casual, without restraint, stepping forward and saying: 'Father, why do you never come back?'

Fuxi replied: 'I am studying, unwilling to be distracted.'

Xiao Feng: ……

If the person before him were not the Dao Patriarch, saying such words would certainly not draw any objection from him.

But this person is Fuxi!

One of the strongest individuals in human civilization's history, the progenitor of civilization, who created countless existences of knowledge.

Such a person actually says he is still studying—doesn't that discourage people?

'Is it about participating in the study of the Source Realm?' Feng Feng Shi asked him.

Fuxi nodded: 'Since the Lord of All Things is willing to impart, naturally we cannot miss the opportunity. Beyond the universe is vast; I hope one day to go and see.' His expression was full of longing.

Feng Feng Shi, upon hearing this, said: 'You have endless time; you can discuss the Dao anytime. My daughter has just returned, yet you neither see nor meet her—truly…' Her tone carried some resentment.

Fuxi laughed upon hearing it: 'It is my fault as a father, I have'

lost affection. How has Luo'er been lately in the virtual universe? Any interesting happenings?

Feng Feng Shi was a bit unhappy: 'You know everything; do you still need to ask?'

'One who knows all may not always listen to everything.'

'That means you don't care about me, not even noticing what happens around me.'

'This…'

Father and daughter completely ignored Xiao Feng's presence, chatting to themselves.

Feng Feng Shi also changed her usual aloof demeanor, acting coquettish before her father.

Xiao Feng felt both embarrassed and fortunate.

The embarrassment lay in watching the father‑daughter pair chat idly while he could not interject, like a lightbulb.

The fortune lay in actually being able to witness Fuxi and his daughter chatting casually—something ordinary people could never witness.

After they talked for a while, Fuxi finally turned his gaze to Xiao Feng.

'Young friend, have you gained any insight while contemplating the Dao here?' he asked.

Xiao Feng replied humbly: 'My talent is dull, my comprehension shallow; I hope Patriarch Xi will give me more guidance.'

Fuxi smiled lightly: 'No need for guidance; with your aptitude, all you need is time. Do not rush, do not be greedy—first master one path, reach the ultimate limit, then study others.'

'Yes, junior understands!' Xiao Feng said, clasping his hands.

Then he inquired: 'Patriarch Xi, junior has just obtained the Chaos Sacred Artifact 【Reincarnation】 in the virtual universe; I wonder whether that path is worth contemplating.'

Fuxi urged him to first specialize in one path; according to priority, undoubtedly first is the Way of All Things.

Xiao Feng has always taken the Way of All Things as his primary focus; other rules are merely gains from the game—use them if useful, otherwise he would not specially improve them.

But the Reincarnation method

, overall feels somewhat different.

Fuxi did not answer immediately, but instead asked him: "If you specialize in the Way of All Things, how long would it take you to become a Dao Ancestor?"

This..

How could Xiao Feng know the answer?

He could only shake his head and say: "Junior does not know; perhaps a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand years, or perhaps a hundred million years."

The Dao Ancestor realm is too far away for him; he has no basis for judgment, it's merely idle speculation.

Fuxi then asked him: "If you specialize in the Way of Reincarnation, how long would it take you to become a Dao Ancestor?"

This.. probably impossible." Xiao Feng shook his head, feeling his insight into the Way of Reincarnation was shallower, his talent far inferior to that in the Way of All Things.

"Then what do you say you should comprehend?" Fuxi asked with a smile.

Xiao Feng stared slightly, then suddenly understood.

Those involved are confused while observers see clearly; he had obtained too many treasures, so he always thought of using each one to push his strength to the utmost.

But with just this pointer from Ancestor Fuxi, the situation changed instantly.

The Way of Reincarnation may be very powerful, but so what?

The Way of Time is also powerful, the Way of Space is also powerful; you can't just study whichever is powerful!

What suits you best is what matters most!

Although Xiao Feng can multitask, studying dozens of Ways at once is no problem.

But divine sense is divine sense, mental strength is mental strength.

Even the memory of a multi-core processor has an upper limit; if all of it were used to compute the same problem, efficiency would undoubtedly reach its maximum!

"Many thanks for your guidance, Ancestor Xi!"

Xiao Feng said gratefully.

Ancestor Fuxi's single words awakened him like a dreamer; just that sentence made him decide to temporarily ignore the Way of Reincarnation and first earnestly comprehend his strongest Way of All Things, which is what matters.

However, at the same time he also had

a doubt, and he couldn't help asking: "Ancestor Xi, according to what you said, is only a Way that can lead to becoming a Dao Ancestor worth studying? Are all nineteen layers of the techniques you have mastered already at the Dao Ancestor level?"
