Chapter 52: New System Departure

Feng Yi previously speculated that among the myriad heavens of the Unparalleled One of a Lifetime, there existed two supreme cultivation methods that interpreted the path of life and death through zither music, respectively named the Dragon Tortoise Back Longevity Score and the Heaven-Splitting, Earth-Changing Melody.

If one could integrate and perfectly merge these two methods, causing the path of life and death to become one, one could comprehend the Dao of Fuxi, one of the Three Ancient Sovereigns.

Now, he organized the information he obtained from the position of Fuxi, continuously filling and perfecting it, thus obtaining two extremely fragmentary cultivation methods that contained the meaning of life and death through zither music.

These two methods are too fragmentary; one can only comprehend the principles and the Great Dao contained within, adding some of one's own martial insights, without having specific names.

However, while contemplating the principles and rules contained in these two methods, Feng Yi felt they were extremely similar to the descriptions of the Dragon Tortoise Back Longevity Score and the Heaven-Splitting, Earth-Changing Melody in the world of the Unparalleled One of a Lifetime.

Or rather, Feng Yi, by organizing the information contained in the position of Fuxi, thereby filling and perfecting the rules and principles within these two fragmentary methods, is exactly the ultimate Great Dao principle that the Dragon Tortoise Back Longevity Score and the Heaven-Splitting, Earth-Changing Melody, which contain the path of life and death, wish to interpret.

'It really is that Fuxi Emperor!'

This thought arose in his mind; Feng Yi continuously organized the two methods he had sorted out, and vaguely sensed a special cultivation system from within.

'Inner realm small world, outer universe great cosmos. Dharma-body realms, unique inner realm heavens.'

As he continuously contemplated and organized, Feng Yi's expression also became somewhat dazed.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses, his expression turning somewhat silent.

Although because the methods were too fragmentary, he could not obtain a complete cultivation system from within, but merely from these fragmentary yet familiar insights he had contemplated, he almost confirmed that the imperial figure was the Fuxi Emperor of the Unparalleled One of a Lifetime.

Ha!

After remaining silent for a long time, Feng Yi lightly exhaled, slightly shook his head, dispelled the thoughts in his heart, and pressed all the information of that world deep into his heart.

Afterwards, he turned his gaze to the ancient and elegant zither before him.

At first glance, the zither seemed like a stone zither, but it did not give the feeling of solidity like a stone zither; instead, every inch of its body emitted a faint luster, carrying a sense of obscurity and illusion.

At the same time, countless intricate patterns surrounded the zither's body, appearing as if condensed from rules and principles, causing one to unconsciously immerse oneself within, sensing the information contained therein.

After gazing for a moment, Feng Yi reached out, and the zither directly fell before him, floating in midair.

Feeling the similar qi and spirituality within the zither that were close to himself, Feng Yi gently placed it on his knees, and his mind and spirit automatically circulated those two nameless, fragmentary zither Dao cultivation methods.

Although due to the fragmentary nature of the methods, one cannot directly cultivate, but some of the zither Dao rules and techniques contained within, as well as the mystery of their combination with the meaning of life and death, can still be simply refined.

After contemplating for a moment, Feng Yi's eyes showed a hint of realization; his left hand pressed the strings, and his right hand subconsciously plucked the strings lightly.

Ding dong

Ding dong

A series of ethereal zither notes sounded, like the cry of geese in the vast sky, like the flow of a small bridge over water, echoing between heaven and earth.

At the beginning, the zither notes were somewhat discordant, causing the surrounding heavenly and earthly qi to become chaotic, making the small courtyard sometimes filled with the withered intent of death, as if everything had arrived at the extinction of severe winter, and sometimes filled with boundless vitality, causing trees, flowers, and grasses to grow wildly, completely without rhythm.

If not for the illusory Eight Trigrams Guard above the small courtyard, which concealed these abnormalities, the anomalies in Feng Yi's small courtyard would likely attract the attention of the villagers of the Ancestral Dragon Village.

However, as time passed, the zither notes seemed to adapt to some change, becoming increasingly harmonious and melodious.

In a daze, perhaps due to having accommodated the position of Fuxi, Feng Yi had an innate affinity for the zither Dao and the path of life and death, and instinctively grasped the techniques and changes in principles within.

Yin-yang changes, seasonal transitions, life-death cycles.

The changes of all things in heaven and earth seemed to be contained within the zither notes; as the zither notes sounded, they continuously stirred the changes in heavenly and earthly principles.

The scenery within the small courtyard also continuously changed, following the rotation of the zither notes, regularly experiencing the four-season transitions and life-death cycles of all things in heaven and earth.

The natural way, the transformation of heaven and humanity, the zither notes soaring, using one's heart to replace the heart of heaven!

After an unknown period, the zither notes disappeared, and simultaneously Feng Yi's figure vanished, leaving only a leisurely sigh echoing in the small courtyard:

'I really am becoming more and more like Fuxi!'

Outside the Ancestral Dragon Village.

Looking at this simple and ancient small village before him, Feng Yi touched the point between his eyebrows; two clusters of illusory light, seemingly condensed from some rule, emerged from between his eyebrows, having no concrete shape, appearing as illusory objects.

Looking at the two clusters of light constantly changing before him, Feng Yi's heart stirred; in an instant, the two clusters of light began to continuously reorganize and change, forming an elegant brush and an ancient plain book.

These two items were originally the 0-08 Sealed Item, the condensed object of the writer's extraordinary trait, and Grosel's Travelogue.

However, after being devoured and reorganized by the position of Fuxi, and together with Feng Yi's innate spiritual light undergoing the baptism of the river of fate, they all returned to their origins, becoming rule-condensed illusory objects, without concrete form.

'It seems I still need to find an opportunity to seek a carrier for these two items, to reforge them!'

With the thought turning in his mind, Feng Yi held the brush and lightly wrote something on the ancient plain book.

As he wrote, character after character continuously emerged, seemingly transforming from the illusory to the real, forming some kind of rule, falling into the void around the Ancestral Dragon Village, guarding this small village.

However, the villagers of the entire village felt nothing at all, as if those characters did not exist in reality.

After a moment, Feng Yi stopped writing; all the characters completely entered the void and disappeared.

'This is about enough; at least it can stop ordinary people and low-level cultivators from disturbing the tranquility of this village!'

'As for high-level cultivators, the stronger they are, the less likely they dare to approach this primeval ancient village; thus I can temporarily relax!'

As my first foothold in these heavens, and having lived here for so long, Feng Yi also does not wish for others to disturb this small village.

Now that he has this protection, he can rest assured to leave.

The Nine Provinces World is currently sealed; before the seal is opened, the heavenly and earthly essence is almost in a state of exhaustion, which is truly unfavorable for cultivation.

Moreover, after staying in this world for such a long time, Feng Yi's cultivation has reached a limit, and having reached extremes, he wishes to move, wanting to truly witness the myriad worlds of these heavens, to find a way to fully integrate the initially accommodated position of Fuxi into himself.

More importantly, he only obtained the profound law from the Yellow River Heavenly Stele; his own cultivation method is incomplete, and he still needs the profound laws from the remaining eight heavenly steles to make his method completely perfect, allowing his cultivation to continue progressing.

Xiao Chen has already followed his suggestion and gone out to travel.

Now, he also needs to leave this small village.

'Longevity Realm, Soul Realm, Cultivation Realm, Spell Realm.'

'What secrets do these four realms actually hold?'

'Heavenly Stele, Stone Person, Stone Soldiers.'

'Oh, right, and also the divine weapon of Fuxi in this world, the Bronze Eight Trigrams.'

One thought after another arose in his mind; Feng Yi reached out, and the brush and book in his hand instantly turned into some kind of rule, returning to his body.

At the same time, another cluster of rule appeared, like a white snake biting its tail, forming a self-contained cycle, like overlapping doors forming symbols.

This cluster of light transformed into a slightly illusory silver-white ring, appearing on his finger.

A moment later, the silver-white ring glimmered faintly; Feng Yi moved his feet, his figure blurred for a moment, as if teleporting, and also seeming like shrinking the earth into an inch, directly appearing several tens of meters away.

【This is.】

Feeling that state of almost teleportation, Feng Yi's eyes showed a thoughtful expression; a hint of insight arose in his heart: 【Although I can no longer use the spirit realm to shuttle, after undergoing the baptism of the River of Fate and absorbing the information of the Yi Dao principle, the concept of gates and fate contained within it has merged with Fuxi's Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams, adjusted according to the rules of this world, and it is still quite a decent divine object!】

His thoughts turned in his heart; after a moment, Feng Yi gazed into the distance, his heart stirred, an illusory apparition of the Eight Trigrams appeared, his figure blurred again, as if he had opened an illusory door leading to the place his sight reached.

After a few flashes, his figure completely vanished in the distance.
