Chapter 197

Earth, Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land.

Stepping in here again, looking at this feng shui grand formation that seizes the creation of heaven and earth, Feng Yi's mind surfaced the scene of when he first arrived in this world, and a hint of emotion involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

At his current level, the entire formation holds no secrets for him anymore.

Gazing at the Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land before him, various hexagram images flowed in Feng Yi's eyes, reflecting the formation's changes, constantly deducing, carrying out perfection and sublimation.

After a moment, the hexagram images in Feng Yi's eyes dissipated; his hands moved slowly, changing the hand seals, and one after another ancient, mysterious Dao patterns appeared, merging into the entire formation, continually adjusting the layout of the grand formation, making it ever more profound.

As the formation's layout changed, the entire Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land no longer drew the essence and qi of this ancient star Earth, but directly drew Chaos qi from the void to sustain the formation's operation, even feeding back to Earth, causing the ancient star's primordial qi to begin recovering and becoming ever more abundant.

Boom

After finishing the adjustment of the formation atop Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land, Feng Yi lightly waved his hand, and a series of booming sounds rang out in succession.

Reincarnation Sea, Burial-Heaven Island, Divine Ruins, Immortal Mausoleum, Primordial Ancient Mine, Undying Mountain

One after another, life-forbidden zones appeared, and in a mysterious manner they directly merged into the entirety of Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land, becoming part of this immortal land.

The origins of these life-forbidden zones are extraordinary; their environment is completely different from that of the present universe, and they can even allow a self‑severed Great Emperor to seal himself.

Now, as these life-forbidden zones merge into Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land, this immortal land becomes ever more extraordinary.

After doing all this, Feng Yi looked at Kunlun, which had undergone tremendous change compared to before, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Originally, the Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land relied on an Emperor's Formation for protection, barely able to resist cultivators below the Great Emperor level.

But now, after his re‑layout and adjustment, even a True Immortal entering this formation would have no return.

Under these circumstances, this place can temporarily serve as his secluded cultivation retreat.

With this thought arising in his mind, Feng Yi prepared to step inside, continuing to complete his own transformation path.

But just then, his spiritual sense twitched slightly, and he looked toward the distant void.

In his eyes, countless hexagram images flowed, directly piercing the cosmic barrier, and he saw a strange world, locking gazes with a figure emitting an aura of majesty, an emperor.

"Emperor Sovereign!"

At the moment he saw that figure, Feng Yi's spiritual sense merged with heavenly secrets, directly deducing his identity.

"Ah, I haven't gone to look for you yet, and you came first to provoke me!"

The moment that thought settled in his mind, Feng Yi's vital energy shifted, and he reached his hand into the void.

Before him, his form instantly turned hazy, as if opening an illusory gate to a higher dimension, directly tearing open the barrier between the two worlds.

Between the interstices of the Heaven‑Covering Universe and the Immortal Realm lies a special world.

It is a great world artificially evolved; though not equal to the Immortal Realm, it also contains some longevity substances, ultimately intended to compensate for the Immortal Realm's deficiencies.

At the deepest source of this world stands a dignified figure, as if the master of the entire world.

But just then, the figure's gaze shifted, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

Before he could react, the void faintly blurred, as if directly opening a door to a dimension beyond the world.

Boom

A palm resembling the hand of the heavens emerged from the illusory gate, directly descending upon that figure.

As the palm appeared, an immensely vast vital energy descended, causing the dignified figure's heart and spirit to shudder, giving him an irresistible feeling.

"How is that possible?"

A low whisper sounded, and an expression of disbelief appeared in the dignified figure's eyes.

"How could such a powerful being appear in the mortal realm?"

However, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart; he had no time to think much, his internal vital energy shifted, and he let out a loud shout:

"Open!"

The moment his voice fell, a mysterious vital energy rose from his body, sweeping across heaven and earth.

In an instant, this strange world was directly controlled by the dignified figure, faintly seeming to transform into a gigantic cauldron that devours all things.

The power of the entire world instantly bolstered the dignified figure, causing his vital energy to climb without cease, as if limitless.

Gazing at the palm descending upon him, his eyes burst with brilliant divine light, and he shouted loudly, transforming his palm into a cauldron and charging upward.

Boom

A thunderous roar that shook heaven, earth, and the universe rang out; the river of time and space trembled, and the whole world seemed on the verge of collapse.

After an unknown amount of time, the roar faded, and the shattered void gradually returned to normal.

That palm, resembling the hand of the heavens, underwent little change and directly seized the dignified figure.

The dignified figure struggled incessantly, yet like Sun Wukong under the Five‑Finger Mountain, he could not break free in the slightest.

The next moment, the palm holding the dignified figure retreated back into the illusory gate, and the gate vanished as well.

Everything seemed unchanged, except for the disappearance of that dignified figure.

This strange world is vast and boundless, also home to countless powerful beings, among which two major forces predominate.

At this moment, the strong ones of both forces all turned their gaze toward the source land, their eyes revealing barely concealed astonishment and doubt.

This strange world has actually been secretly controlled by someone!

Earth, Kunlun.

Feng Yi calmly retracted his palm from the void, and a dignified figure appeared before him — the master of the ancient Heavenly Court of this universe, the Emperor Sovereign.

"This is."

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar heaven and earth before him, the Emperor Sovereign's eyes showed a hint of disbelief.

Then, he reacted instantly, turning his gaze to the black-robed figure before him, a flash of fear appearing in his eyes.

Easily breaking the great cosmic barrier, he seized from that strange world someone who had no power to resist, and the might of that figure before him was simply beyond his imagination.

How could such a powerful existence be in the mortal realm?

This defies common sense!

With thoughts turning in his mind, the Emperor Sovereign spoke in a somewhat low voice: "May I ask, friend, how should I address you?"

Fuxi.

Fuxi?

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Dizun's eyes flickered with a hint of doubt.

Glancing at Dizun, Fengyi said lightly, 'Fellow Daoist Dizun, you have schemed through the ages—do you intend to completely refine the two universes and achieve a supreme immortal cauldron?'

Huh?

Upon hearing that the mighty being before him named Fuxi had directly seen through his plan, Dizun's heart shuddered and his expression changed drastically.

After a moment, a trace of bitterness appeared in his eyes, and he spoke in a low voice: 'I never expected such a mighty existence as Fellow Daoist Fuxi to appear in the mortal realm!'

Through their earlier clash and sensing the unfathomable aura emanating from Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Dizun realized this was a being far stronger than himself.

With this fellow Daoist present, his plan could no longer be realized.

All of this happened too quickly, leaving Dizun momentarily unable to accept it.

Hearing Dizun's words, Fengyi shook his head and spoke calmly: 'Even without me, your plan could not succeed.'

Having said that, without giving Dizun further explanation, Fengyi flicked his finger, a divine light appeared and entered directly into his brow.

'From today onward, you will be responsible for guarding Kunlun!'

As his words fell, Fengyi stepped forward and entered the depths of the Deathless Mountain.

On the other side, the moment the divine light entered Dizun's brow, he stood frozen in place, countless streams of information flowing through his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Dizun suddenly came to his senses and murmured, 'Transforming realms into a city—so this is the true Great Dao of the universe.'

As his words fell, Dizun glanced at the distant heavens and earth and silently sighed.

All his scheming through the ages has come to nothing!

Afterward, he also stepped into the Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land.

The primordial ground at the deepest part of the Deathless Mountain.

Fengyi sat cross-legged here, two strands of divine light flashing in his hand, radiating human dao light—these were the Great Dao insights of Shennong and Xuanyuan.

With these Great Dao insights, he could continue to complete his own transformation.

As for Dizun, the divine light Fengyi gave him not only contained his own insights about the Great Dao of the universe, but also carried a restriction.

Unless Dizun's cultivation surpasses Fengyi's, he can only obey Fengyi's orders and guard the Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land.

Hum

Temporarily suppressing his distracting thoughts, Fengyi's heart stirred, and the Great Dao insights of Shennong and Xuanyuan merged directly into his mind.

In an instant, countless mysterious dao patterns appeared in his spiritual world, constantly shifting and recombining, as if a sovereign were expounding his own Great Dao.

At the same time, a slight movement in Fengyi's heart gave rise to two new insights: one was a human dao spark like a hopeful flame, the other was the innate Eight Trigrams diagram that transforms human dao civilization.

These two Great Dao insights combined with the countless dao patterns in Fengyi's mind, continually colliding and merging, as if three sovereigns were discussing the Dao with each other.

Scriptural echoes rose from within Fengyi's body, as if from past and future, causing his breath to continually shift and adjust.

Rattle

After an unknown span of time, an illusory sound of flowing water arose, and a lofty, illusory River of Fate appeared beside Fengyi.

Three sovereign silhouettes appeared upon the river: one situated in the past, like the beginning of human dao—the fire of civilization, the light of hope, the spark that ignites human dao civilization.

One dwelled in the endless future, where human dao radiance blossomed, manifesting a splendid, eternal human dao paradise, representing the glorious future of human dao.

One stood in the present, the innate Eight Trigrams turning, the River of Fate encircling him, like the master of human dao.

Fengyi's innate spiritual light trembled slightly; the Change Dao treasure deep within his innermost spirit stirred, instantly triggering a change in the true River of Fate.

The River of Fate beside Fengyi underwent a certain special change, as if merging with the true River of Fate of this realm's heavens.

A spark merged into the River of Fate, directly returning to the distant past; a gleam of human dao light merged into the River of Fate, heading straight toward the endless future.

Hum

The myriad heavens trembled; mighty beings one after another snapped their eyes open and gazed toward the River of Fate.

Yet the entire River of Fate flowed slowly, countless images drifting within it, without any abnormality appearing.

Ding

A lofty, illusory zither note rang out, causing the River of Fate throughout the myriad heavens to shift, as if everything were illusory except this zither tone, which alone was real.

Vast wilderness, ferocious beasts and vicious birds roaming, ancient remnants appearing—a scene of primordial desolation.

Among the myriad mountains and valleys, a small village built of various stone houses flickered into view.

Around the village lay boundless mountains, ferocious beasts prowling; yet at the village's center stood a spark that seemed never to extinguish, shedding a gentle light that enveloped and guarded the whole settlement.

Beside the spark stood a scorched black willow, appearing to have lost its vitality.

However, as the spark's light bathed it, gentle flames merged into the willow, causing it to continually undergo changes.

Kunlun Immortal Ascension Land, the depths of the Deathless Mountain.

As time passed, Fengyi's aura continually shifted and adjusted.

Endless human dao radiance flowed around him, transforming him directly into a Human Dao Sovereign.

Fengyi's innate spiritual light stirred slightly; the concept of the Fu Emperor contained within him shifted, a thread of special information emerging and directly merging with Xuanyuan's Great Dao insight.

Boom

A tremendous roar sounded, and in Fengyi's spiritual world appeared the figure of a sovereign wielding a golden longsword.

Scriptural echoes rang out continuously, expounding a brand-new Great Dao, giving rise in Fengyi's heart to many different insights.

'This is the Human Sovereign's Dao!'

A vague sense arose in his mind; Fengyi's spiritual perception trembled, as if he faintly understood something.

'This is the Human Sovereign's Dao that the Fu Emperor once comprehended in those heavens!'

Hum

As he fully grasped this Great Dao insight in his heart, Fengyi's mind and spirit shuddered violently, and he completely comprehended the path of his third transformation.

Became the Human Emperor!

Boom—

The boundless radiance of the Human Dao shot up into the sky, instantly penetrating the entire Kunlun Immortal Realm, and even sweeping across the whole universe.

In an instant, the myriad wails of the universe trembled, the endless star rivers quivered, and all living beings instinctively gazed toward the distant void, their souls shuddering uncontrollably.

Kunlun Immortal Realm.

The Emperor Sovereign gazed, his face filled with shock, at the Human Dao radiance that spanned the cosmic star rivers, and a feeling of indescribable insignificance arose in his heart.

In a daze, he seemed to see the silhouette of an emperor emanating endless imperial majesty.

"Is this the true strength of Fellow Daoist Fuxi?"

This thought arose in his mind, the Emperor Sovereign let out a slight sigh, and the unwillingness in his eyes completely dissipated.

At the deepest part of the Deathless Mountain, at the moment he became the Human Emperor, Feng Yi's spiritual sense twitched slightly, countless trigrams surfaced in his mind, and an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.

"This is."

"New heavens?"

"It will be of great benefit to my transformation, allowing me to fully complete my transformation."

Thinking of this, Feng Yi's heart stirred, countless black-and-white specks of light appeared, forming a river of fate that transcended the heavens.

The next moment, Feng Yi's entire body turned into a drop of river water, directly merging into it and vanishing.
