Primordial Ancient Star, Kunlun.
Hum
Feng Yi slowly opened their eyes, a vast qi mechanism rose from their body, stirring the changes of the entire universe.
"Indeed, everything in these heavens originates from that Bronze Coffin Master; to truly achieve the Sacrificial Path, and even beyond it, returning to these heavens is the best choice."
As the sound of self-talk rang out, Feng Yi slowly restrained their qi mechanism, and following the warning of their spiritual perception, they directly gazed toward the unknown place beyond all worlds.
Countless trigrams flowed in their eyes, faintly reflecting an inexpressible highland wasteland, as well as the gaze of an immensely terrifying existence.
"Strange Primordial Ancestors?"
The moment the words fell, the River Chart and Luo Book appeared before them, with ten black-and-white light points constantly flowing upon it, interpreting the Yin-Yang Five Phases, the principle of the Easy Dao of heavenly mechanism and fate.
At the same time, Feng Yi's mind and spirit merged with the Easy Dao Supreme Treasure deep in the spiritual world, drawing a thread of its power to empower the River Chart and Luo Book.
Hum
Countless black-and-white light points appeared, forming a hazy illusory net of heavenly mechanism, veiling the river of time and space as well as the changes of the obscuring-heavens universe.
Although they had not achieved the realm of the Sacrificial Path, with the past and future of these heavens penetrating through, they gained a new insight into the path of the Sacrificial Dao, and they also advanced a step in the Immortal Emperor realm.
Furthermore, possessing the Power of the Other Shore, Feng Yi now has greater control over heavenly mechanism and fate than over the Sacrificial Path.
Furthermore, with the empowerment of Feng Yi's own Easy Dao Supreme Treasure, unless the Bronze Coffin Master is resurrected, even if the Highland Strange Primordial Ancestors are revived, it would be impossible to deduce their existence.
With thoughts turning in their mind, Feng Yi's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.
"However, there are as many as ten Strange Primordial Ancestors on the highlands; I alone cannot deal with them, so I must find some helpers!"
With thoughts turning in their mind, Feng Yi sank their mind and spirit into the depths of the spiritual world, connecting with their own Easy Dao Supreme Treasure.
Hum
Countless black-and-white light points appeared in heaven and earth, constantly shifting and flowing, forming a river of fate that surpasses everything.
Gazing at this river of fate, countless trigrams flowed in Feng Yi's eyes, reflecting countless karmic star lines extending from their body.
Causality star lines arose from within Feng Yi's body, extending to an unknown place, linking the beings with whom he had formed connections.
Gently pulling these causality star lines and his connections, in an instant the whole world began to change.
Primordial divine light burst forth, and Nüwa's graceful figure appeared beside Feng Yi; she gazed into the distance, a hint of longing in her eyes.
The black and white yin-yang fish intertwined head to tail, forming a profound and inscrutable Taiji diagram.
The next moment, the Taiji diagram kept rotating, directly transforming into a white-haired, azure-bearded old man in Daoist robes with a tranquil aura—none other than the Morality Heavenly Venerable, or rather a special incarnation of him.
Strands of moonlight showered down, endless white lotuses gathering to form a high-hanging bright moon, upon which sat a mature, elegant divine figure—the Golden Emperor.
The river of time flowed, slowly converging into a venerable, weathered figure—the Time Emperor.
Seeing the many figures appear around him, Feng Yi's eyes showed a faint smile: "Welcome, everyone, leaving your original world to come to this new realm!"
Saying this, Feng Yi half-joked: "In a certain sense, you fellow Daoists are already one step ahead of Amitabha and the Bodhi Daoists, having been the first to 'transcend'!"
Nüwa's body blazed with primordial divine light, her eyes penetrating the source of all heavens; she wore a look of emotion: "I never expected the essence of these heavens to be so mighty that even I cannot truly see it—my former self was truly a frog in a well!"
In the Morality Heavenly Venerable's eyes, the yin-yang fish swirled, as if he had discovered something; he slightly furrowed his brows, looking at Feng Yi: "Fuxi Daoist, the source of these heavens seems off!"
As an innate divine being born in response to the Dao, symbolizing the foundation of existence, the Morality Heavenly Venerable is most sensitive to the sense of the source of the Great Dao.
Upon arriving in these heavens, He discovered that their 'Dao' was amiss, giving Him a feeling of eeriness.
No, not eerie—rather, it seemed like an 'illness'.
Glancing at the Morality Heavenly Venerable, Feng Yi couldn't help but feel admiration: truly the oldest, his perception is indeed keen.
He also had no intention of hiding it, and said: "Morality Daoist, you may not know that in these heavens there once existed a being comparable to Dao fruition, an ultimate power who, while seeking a further path, met with an accident, burned himself, and his 'ashes'."
Having explained the origins of the bronze coffin master and the plateau's strange tribe according to his own understanding, Feng Yi pointed to the sky: "In a certain sense, you fellow Daoists are also the helpers I summoned to deal with those strange ancestors."
"Comparable to Dao fruition."
"Further."
"The 'ashes' left by an existence comparable to Dao fruition."
After hearing Feng Yi's explanation, the Morality Heavenly Venerable and others' eyes lit up.
They paid no heed to the strength of the strange tribe, being wholly drawn to the 'ashes' of an existence comparable to Dao fruition.
Whether the serene Morality Heavenly Venerable or the laid-back Time Emperor, at this moment a flicker of fervor shone in their eyes, like an old glutton encountering his favorite delicacy.
"Fuxi Daoist, rest assured."
Originally merely delighted to have escaped the original heavens and freed himself from the fate of perishing with the epoch's collapse, the Time Emperor immediately straightened his face, the first to speak: "We rely entirely on you to leave the original heavens; we will certainly not stand idle—just give the word, fellow Daoist, and we will sweep away those strange clans and bring peace to these heavens."
That is none other than the 'ashes' left by a power comparable to Dao fruition, surely hiding another supreme secret comparable to Dao fruition.
Just recall how a single Jianmu fruit of uncertain relation to Dao fruition once drew many shore-reachers—including the Three Pure Ones, Amitabha, and the Buddha—into battle, causing the Heavenly Court to fall, the Jianmu tree to be damaged, and nearly bringing the epoch to ruin; what then of the 'ashes' left by an existence comparable to Dao fruition?
What merit or ability do these strange ancestors possess to obtain such precious fortune?
White lotuses blossomed one after another, and the Golden Emperor's pure and sacred voice rang out, even more directly: "Fuxi Daoist, when do you prepare to act against the plateau?"
Even the usually serene Morality Heavenly Venerable was no longer calm, his expression turning somewhat icy: "Fuxi Daoist, rest assured; though I am not my true self now, my combat prowess is not far inferior to my true form—I will surely exert my full strength and bring peace to these heavens."
Nüwa looked at Feng Yi with a smiling gaze: "Brother, whatever you wish to do, I will support you."
"Er"
Seeing everyone's eager, ready-to-act demeanor, Feng Yi couldn't help but be stunned.
He had originally been thinking about how to coax these people into acting against the strange tribe, but now it's fine—he doesn't need to coax them; they're all as if injected with chicken blood.
Good fellows, truly benefits move hearts!
However, for these people before him, only the path of further progress counts as a benefit!
Feeling a myriad of emotions, just as he was about to speak, his heart suddenly stirred, and a special causality star line reflected in his pupils.
"This is... the Buddha?"
A hint of thought appeared in his eyes, and Feng Yi ultimately still pulled that causality star line.
Hum
Strands of Buddha light gathered, carrying the pure intent of nirvana, slowly condensing into a monk with a full face and a head of spiraled flesh‑topknot hair.
"Buddha?"
Seeing this monk, everyone couldn't help but be startled.
Buddha wore a compassionate expression, palms together, and gave a Buddhist salute to Feng Yixing: "Daoist Fuxi, together with this humble monk, how about it?"
