Chapter 163: Feng Yun Wuji's Observations: The Realm as a City

Welcome to the Primeval, become a member of the Primeval Humans.

Before he even opened his eyes, a slightly hoarse voice reached Feng Yun Wuji's ears.

Instinctively opening his eyes, he saw an old man wearing yin-yang Dao robes, with a gentle and natural aura, as if merged with the whole heaven and earth.

The old man's eyes were warm and wise; looking at Feng Yun Wuji, he smiled lightly and said, 'I am your guide; you may call me Meng Ze, and I will now be responsible for introducing you to the situation of the Primeval Plane.'

Primeval.

Hearing this somewhat odd title, Feng Yun Wuji blinked, then curiously asked, 'Isn't it the Immortal Realm?'

Hearing Feng Yun Wuji's words, Meng Ze's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he said, 'It seems your plane has not yet received the Primeval Humans' teachings; no wonder your cultivation is still the old method.'

Regarding this, Meng Ze felt no great surprise.

In the universe, planes are countless; moreover, new planes are born and vanish every moment.

Even a Supreme God cannot clearly investigate the conditions of all the myriad planes.

Otherwise, there would be no defiers of gods in this world.

Although after their teacher attained the position of Supreme God and abolished the 'Primeval Covenant,' the Primeval Plane continuously dispatched strong ones to teach cultivation in the myriad planes, the Primeval Humans number only tens of millions, making it impossible to reach every plane.

Now the appearance of a plane that has not yet received the Primeval Humans' teachings is actually quite normal.

Thinking this, Meng Ze paid even more attention to the ascendant before him.

Naturally, the value of ascendants from planes that have experienced the Primeval Humans' teachings differs from those of ordinary planes.

'Teachings. Old Method'

Feng Yun Wuji's eyes showed a hint of doubt as he instinctively glanced around; he saw an ancient, towering city standing between heaven and earth, like a giant, exuding a vast, ancient aura, with endless heavenly and earthly qi continually gathering into the city, directly forming a visible qi vortex.

Noticing Feng Yun Wuji's gaze, Meng Ze smiled and said, 'Don't look; it's still far from you. When you later cultivate the New Method and reach the peak, you will also have a matching ancient city to aid your cultivation. Let me first explain the situation of the Primeval.'

Saying this, Meng Ze's eyes flashed with a hint of recollection, his voice tinged with emotion: 'In your impression, are we humans the leaders of all spirits, the beings at the top of all living things?'

Naturally.

Feng Yun Wuji nodded without hesitation, saying, 'Isn't that the case?'

You are very fortunate.

Hearing Feng Yun Wuji's words, sensing his confidence as the leader of all spirits, Meng Ze gave him a deep look and said, 'Actually, this is the situation after our human race's Supreme God appeared; before that, we humans had always been at the low end of the cosmos, our status not high—not only were we tools providing faith to the Light and Dark Supreme Gods, but also food and slaves of gods and demons.'

What!

Feng Yun Wuji's face showed an expression of disbelief as he muttered, 'How could that be?'

Nothing is impossible.

Meng Ze shook his head and said in a deep voice, 'The weak are prey to the strong; survival of the fittest is the eternal, unchanging rule of the countless planes of the universe. Gods and demons are innately powerful, whereas we humans differ—we still need cultivation to become strong, and our numbers are far fewer than theirs. More importantly, there exist twenty-six Light and Dark Supreme Gods who transcend all things in the universe; they are incarnations of the Great Dao's laws, nearly impossible to defeat.'

Supreme God?

Feng Yun Wuji, recalling the other's words, quickly said, 'Senior Meng Ze, you just said that before our human race's Supreme God appeared, do we now also have our own Supreme God? Has this situation changed?'

That's why I said you are very fortunate!

Saying this, Meng Ze's eyes burst with bright light, his vast aura sweeping heaven and earth, his tone filled with strong pride: 'All this changed a million years ago; now we humans are no longer slaves of gods and demons, but have become true beings standing at the pinnacle of the universe, able to freely hunt gods and demons, slay angels, because our human race has also produced its own Supreme God—my teacher, Fuxi!'

On the other side, Feng Yun Wuji looked at the old man with horror, feeling that the man was like a vast starry sky; merely a wisp of his aura made Feng Yun Wuji tremble all over, almost causing him to prostrate himself on the ground.

'No wonder he is a supreme expert of the upper realms; I am invincible in the mortal world, yet I cannot even bear a wisp of his aura!'

At the same time, sensing the admiration and pride in the words of this immensely powerful old man, Feng Yun Wuji also developed a strong curiosity about the name 'Fuxi.'

Merely hearing that name made his heart and spirit tremble, as if the name itself were an evolution of the Great Dao.

After a while, Meng Ze looked at the trembling youth before him, suddenly realized, quickly restrained his aura, and said softly, 'Sorry, young friend, I got a bit overexcited.'

Saying this, sensing the thoughts in the heart of the ascendant before him, he smiled and said, 'The Holy Hall has a rule: each ascendant may choose martial arts there and receive a century of protection. Come, I will take you to the Holy Hall; along the way I will explain the history of the Primeval and its current situation.'

As his words fell, Meng Ze lightly waved his sleeve; both rose into the air simultaneously, heading toward the distant horizon.

By the way, I still don't know your name, young friend?

My name is Feng Yun Wuji!

What a fine name!

The Primeval is vast—at least many times broader than the plane Feng Yun Wuji previously inhabited.

Upon the vast, boundless Primeval Continent, ancient, towering cities stand in every region, like bright stars linked by specific nodes and trajectories, together weaving the whole Primeval into a network.

Being carried by the senior soaring above the high heavens, gazing at those cities that, like living giants, continually inhale and exhale the essences of sun and moon and the heavenly and earthly qi, Feng Yun Wuji's eyes involuntarily showed a hint of longing.

Through Senior Meng Ze's explanation, Feng Yun Wuji now has a rough understanding of the situation in the Primeval.

Since a million years ago, when the Progenitor of Law Fuxi ascended to Supreme God and personally slew one of the Dark Supreme Gods, the Chairman of Conspiracy Luo Er, the entire Primeval underwent a tremendous change; basically all Primeval Humans have switched to the new cultivation method created by Supreme God Fuxi.

This is a supreme system whereby cultivation to the peak can directly achieve a realm comparable to that of a Supreme God, far stronger than the previous crude cultivation system by an unknown magnitude.

After adopting this new system, the strength of the Primeval Humans surged rapidly; the change in overall strength is something that past hundreds of millions of years cannot compare to.

For example, the Primeval Humans' top experts were originally only four in name, but now in the Primeval, the number of experts comparable to supremes in the Ancestral God Realm is unknown.

Now on the Primeval Continent, every ancient city like the one before Feng Yun Wuji, capable of inhaling and exhaling the essences of sun and moon and heavenly and earthly qi, has an Ancestral God Realm expert stationed as its guardian.

Rumor has it that these ancient cities were specially arranged according to the orders of Supreme God Fuxi, forming a supreme grand array that spans the entire Primeval.

These Ancestral God Realm experts can both cultivate with the aid of these ancient cities and are key to suppressing the entire grand array.

After each ascendant undergoes preliminary cultivation in the Holy Hall, they are assigned to the various ancient cities to receive the new teachings; once they truly mature, they will go to the major planes to spread the teachings or to hunt gods and demons and angels.

The Primeval takes the Holy Hall as its core, with the ancient cities as its veins, becoming a true whole, accumulating strength for the next war of gods and demons.

All Primeval Humans know that the present peace of the Primeval relies solely on the deterrence of Supreme God Fuxi alone; all this is merely the calm before the storm, and the remaining twenty-three Light and Dark Supreme Gods will not easily relinquish their faith in humanity.

Feng Yun Wuji's current goal is to reach the Ancestral God Realm, to become the lord of an ancient city, and to contribute his strength to the next war of gods and demons; this is also the cultivation goal of most Primeval Humans today.

We've arrived!

At the moment Feng Yun Wuji's thoughts were turning, a peaceful voice sounded, instantly awakening his mind and spirit.

Instinctively looking into the distance, Feng Yun stood frozen in place.

Only seen far away on the earth, a mountain like a heavenly pillar stood between heaven and earth, endless chaotic divine light swirling around it, making its concrete form impossible to discern.

This mountain peak towered to the extreme; the sun, moon, and stars seemed mere adornments on it, as if it were the center of the entire universe, supporting the entire universe.

Merely seeing it, Feng Yun Wuji felt an indescribable oppression and shock.

Moreover, he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but Feng Yun Wuji always felt the mountain was like a super-enlarged azure lotus, except it seemed made of stone.

"Is this the Holy Mountain?"

"Exactly, this is the holy land of our Primeval Human Race today; you can also call it the Holy Mountain."

Meng Ze's tone carried a hint of admiration as he said: "Originally, the Holy Mountain was not like this, but now, with the teacher presiding over it, the Holy Mountain has become what it is today; as for the specific reason, you will understand later—come on."

Saying this, Meng Ze led Feng Yun Wuji into the Holy Mountain.

Upon the majestic Holy Mountain stood an ancient, heavy stone bridge, upon which were erected stone steles carved with mysterious patterns.

A stone statue tens of thousands of feet tall stood on the stone bridge, surrounded by countless illusory divine lights, emitting a profound aura surpassing all things, making the statue seem to have come alive.

That was the power of faith, almost condensed into substance, coming from the Primeval Human Race and the countless human races of myriad worlds.

Standing before the statue, Feng Yun Wuji gazed at that towering figure and performed a respectful salute.

Through his prior understanding, he realized that it was the appearance of this Fuxi Chief God before him that allowed the Primeval Human Race, and even the human races of countless worlds, to cast off the status of slaves and tools of faith, enabling humanity to truly rise and stand on equal footing with gods and demons.

The master of this statue is truly the Primeval Human Race's and the human races of countless worlds' divine stabilizing needle!

From those illusory divine lights, Feng Yun Wuji faintly seemed to hear the cries of countless humans, his heart involuntarily swelling with emotion.

This is a resonance stemming from his own bloodline!

Hum

At the moment Feng Yun Wuji bowed, a humming sound rang out, and the entire statue suddenly blazed with light.

The next instant, a divine light emerged from the statue, directly enveloping Feng Yun Wuji, plunging him into a daze.

The statue's movement instantly drew the attention of the surrounding Primeval powerhouses who were contemplating the Heavenly Stele and gaining insight into the Great Dao, shaking them greatly.

"This is."

"The statue of Fuxi Chief God is showing activity!"

"What happened?"

"Is it because of this new ascendant?"

One Primeval human powerhouse after another cried out in alarm, then noticed the Dao-robed elder beside Feng Yun Wuji and hastily saluted, saying: "Greetings, Ancestral God Meng Ze!"

"No need for excessive courtesy!"

Meng Ze casually waved his hand, paying no heed to the crowd, but fixed his gaze firmly on Feng Yun Wuji, sensing the change in his aura; countless streams of information flowed through his mind as he thought: "What exactly is special about this Feng Yun Wuji that he could earn the teacher's favor?"

As his thoughts turned, a Primeval human powerhouse approached his side, respectfully saluted, then curiously asked: "Ancestral God Meng Ze, is this the new ascendant? What's wrong with him?"

Regaining his composure, Meng Ze smiled and said: "This is the teacher's guidance!"

"'Fuxi Chief God!'"

That Primeval human powerhouse's heart jolted, and he hurriedly offered a salute to the distant statue.

Afterwards, his gaze toward the ascendant who seemed to have received Fuxi Chief God's inheritance was filled with barely concealed envy.

Not only him, everyone around looked with envy at the figure shrouded in divine light.

In the present Primeval era, the status of Fuxi Chief God is truly unique, the supreme existence in the hearts of all humanity.

Now, a mere ascendant has actually gained the attention of Fuxi Chief God—how could they not feel envy in their hearts?

The name Feng Yun Wuji also began to spread for the first time in the Primeval era!

At this moment, Feng Yun Wuji had no idea of the outside changes; instead, he immersed himself directly in his mental world, only feeling wave after wave of sound like a great bell and lute reverberating in his mind and spirit, as if containing the profoundest truths of the Great Dao, causing his entire mind to fall into a dazed state.

In his dazed state, he seemed to see a familiar towering figure with a lofty aura explaining the mysteries of the Great Dao to him.

Fuxi Chief God!

The moment this thought arose in his mind, countless pieces of information kept reorganizing, ultimately forming two special techniques in Feng Yun Wuji's mental world:

"Nine Revolutions Life and Death Mystic Art" and "Intent Sword Body Grand Method".

At the peak of the Holy Mountain, seemingly in another dimension, a special place where azure lotuses bloomed and chaotic qi surged.

Feng Yi gazed calmly into the distance, countless streams of information flowing in his eyes, as if deducing something.

"Fuxi Chief God, what is special about this new ascendant?"

Behind Feng Yi, the White Tiger Supreme likewise looked into the distance, his eyes reflecting the scene before the statue, and curiously asked: "You seem to be very concerned about him?"

Feng Yi turned around, chuckling lightly, and said: "His body gathers an immense amount of fate power; if I had not been able to attain the position of Chief God and master the laws of fate, then according to the original trajectory of future fate, this youth might very well be our human race's first Chief God!"

"What!"

The White Tiger Supreme's expression shifted slightly as he looked again into the distance, carefully scrutinizing this new ascendant, and a tremendous surge rose in his heart.

"What is a Chief God?"

"It is the embodiment of the Great Dao's law, the strongest existence in this universe!"

"The closer his own cultivation gets to the Chief God realm, the more the White Tiger Supreme discovers how difficult it is to achieve that realm."

"It seems there exists in heaven and earth an immensely vast law, like a heavenly moat, blocking cultivators' path to becoming Chief Gods."

"The White Tiger Supreme now cultivates the brand-new system created by the Fuxi Chief God before him, but despite millions of years passing, he clearly feels he is only one step away from the Chief God realm, yet he simply cannot break through."

"The White Tiger Supreme understands that this is the limitation of the balance law."

"The balance law is the foundation of the universe's operation; only the innate Great Dao will inherently limit the number of Chief Gods, maintaining cosmic balance."

"The White Tiger Supreme feels that, without other forces to break this limitation, he could never enter a realm comparable to that of a Chief God."

"Only upon touching this limitation did the White Tiger Supreme realize how heaven-defying the Fuxi Chief God is!"

"But what he never expected was that this new ascendant's fate line could actually achieve the Chief God realm!"

"After a long while, the White Tiger Supreme regained his composure and said: 'Fuxi Chief God, does this new ascendant have the potential to become a Chief God?'"

"Indeed."

Feng Yi nodded, his tone leisurely as he said: 'The original fate line was just like that!'

Like this!

White Tiger Supreme nodded, secretly taking this new ascendant to heart.

This could be the second human powerhouse to reach the Main God Realm!

Facing Fuxi Main God's words, White Tiger Supreme harbored no doubt, knowing this Main God commanded the law of fate, worthy of being called the master of fate in this universe.

Meanwhile, after Feng Yi withdrew his gaze, he looked toward a divine medicine beside him that resembled a white tiger—it was exactly the White Tiger Immortality Medicine.

At this moment, the White Tiger Immortality Medicine was like a true Four Spirits White Tiger, exuding the same vital energy as the White Tiger among the Primeval Four Holy Beasts, and it was linked to the origin law of the entire universe.

Moreover, the Dao within the White Tiger Immortality Medicine had become extraordinarily complex, and the immortal aura surrounding it had already recovered to the level of a True Immortal.

Sensing Feng Yi's gaze, White Tiger Supreme glanced at the White Tiger Immortality Medicine and said softly: "Fuxi Main God, not long ago, the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Xuanyuan sent word—your other three divine medicines have already absorbed the holy power of the remaining three Holy Beasts, transforming to a level comparable to that of a Main God!"

Good!

Feng Yi nodded, countless streams of information flowing in his eyes, and spoke in a leisurely tone: "If so, everything is already prepared, and it's time to try truly mastering the balance law of this universe!"

Once successful, it would not only break the balance law's restriction on the Primeval Human Race, but Feng Yi could also attempt to master the origin law of this universe.

Moreover, the Stone Person Path sets a city as its boundary, draws the origin of the myriad heavens to complete its transformation; once Feng Yi can truly master the balance law of this universe, he can conduct his trial of turning a boundary into a city, transforming this universe into a city, founding himself on the myriad Dao origins of a single universe, and achieve his unparalleled Stone Person Path.
