Chapter 82: The Brief Ancestral God Realm, Second Crossing

Above the Continent of Longevity, heavenly thunderclaps rang out continuously, and heavenly thunder spread to every corner of the continent.

Across the continent, whether they were powerful martial artists and cultivators or ordinary living beings, all stared blankly at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

This is a heaven-and-earth phenomenon that appears only when a powerful cultivator who has reached a certain realm falls.

The ancestral gods of the Continent of Longevity have long since vanished; this is the phenomenon of a semi-ancestral-level powerhouse falling.

Beneath the Devil's Plain, outside Lost Paradise.

Watching the scenes unfolding within Lost Paradise, the cultivators of the major factions were practically driven mad.

Right before their eyes, their ancestral master, supreme god, our Buddha, heavenly venerable, sect leader, and teacher were slain by an obscure young cultivator.

Xiao Chen.

This name, which had only circulated among the younger generation until now, has at this moment thoroughly shaken the entire Continent of Longevity.

In the depths of Lost Paradise, before three thatched huts.

Before Feng Yi floated a book, its countless images continually shifting, like a phantom yet real world.

One lifelike figure after another emerged within it, as if each occupied a separate realm inside the book.

Among these figures were an old Daoist clad in yin-yang Daoist robes, a dignified middle-aged man wearing a lotus crown, a compassionate-faced Buddha, and so on—exactly the many false gods and semi-ancestors that Xiao Chen had slain in Lost Paradise.

And at the center of these figures stood a towering figure holding kindling fire in one hand and an ink blade in the other, seeming to be the center of the many figures, suppressing everything.

Gazing at the book before him, comprehending the information it contained, Feng Yi felt as if he had fallen into a daze, various insights continually arising in his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally came to his senses and murmured, 'Is this the power of false gods born from the thoughts of all beings, wielded by another world?'

As he spoke, his mind involuntarily conjured images of the faith power and divine spirits of myriad heavens.

To some extent, the two share certain similarities.

However, the methods of the other world are evidently more mysterious; these false gods born from the thoughts of all beings seem to have truly stepped into reality, just like genuine living beings.

'Who would have thought that the thoughts of all beings could possess such tremendous power!'

'The sea of the collective subconscious of all beings.'

'Constant remembrance brings an echo.'

'If one could exist forever within the thoughts of all beings, would that count as a kind of immortality?'

Various thoughts kept arising, and just as Feng Yi was contemplating these false-god powers within his heart, Xiao Chen's figure walked over from afar.

"Brother Feng"

Before Xiao Chen's words had finished, Feng Yi's eyes flickered slightly; he pointed a finger, the book before him flipped, and an unknown force appeared.

The next moment, a dignified middle-aged figure wearing a Jade Clear Lotus Crown appeared as if drawn in the void, outlined before Xiao Chen, and spoke coldly: 'Xiao Chen, return my life!'

"Primordial Heavenly Venerable."

He let out a gasp, Xiao Chen instantly felt a chill run through his body, and he almost drew his war sword to strike.

But the next moment, seeing a smiling figure in a dark robe not far away looking at himself, he instantly sensed something was off.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Chen realized that the eyes of the 'Primordial Heavenly Venerable' before him seemed dull, and the figure was also somewhat illusory.

He stepped forward a few paces, stood before Feng Yi, and asked curiously, 'Brother Feng, what's going on?'

Speaking, Xiao Chen unconsciously looked at the book before him and saw the silhouettes of the false gods and semi-ancestors he had previously slain.

However, the eyes of these semi-ancestors in the book were likewise dull.

"A test."

Gazing at the 'Primordial Heavenly Venerable' before him and sensing the change in his aura, Feng Yi's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

'Its strength is clearly not at the semi-ancestral level, and it seems to possess only some instincts, lacking complete consciousness; it appears the other world's test is far from as simple as it seems on the surface.'

"Test."

Xiao Chen's heart stirred, and he asked, 'Brother Feng, are you researching the manner in which these false gods and semi-ancestors are born?'

"More or less!"

Having said that casually, Feng Yi waved his hand, and the image of the 'Primordial Heavenly Venerable' returned to the book, becoming part of the book's world.

After doing all this, Feng Yi put away the book, looked at Xiao Chen, and smiled: 'Not bad, Brother Xiao, to hide your awareness and slay a semi-ancestor—you are unprecedented and unmatched; imagine that from today onward, your fame will spread throughout the entire Continent of Longevity!'

Hearing Feng Yi's words, Xiao Chen's face showed a wry smile, and he said, 'Brother Feng, please don't mock me!'

"Fame across the continent?"

"Being hunted by the whole continent is more like it!"

Xiao Chen could now imagine the hatred of the disciples and grandchildren of the semi-ancestors outside Lost Paradise toward him.

If he were to appear outside Lost Paradise at this moment, he would likely be swarmed by those people and torn to pieces!

Thinking this, Xiao Chen instantly felt his future was bleak, and he silently thought: 'This damned place of the Longevity Realm is unbearable; I must find a way to hurry back to the Nine Provinces!'

Sensing Xiao Chen's outward emotional fluctuations, Feng Yi's lips curled into a faint smile, about to say something, when suddenly his inner Fuxi Qin vibrated violently.

His mind and spirit resonated with it, his spiritual awareness linking to the heavenly secrets, and his mind instantly fell into a state of emptiness and clarity.

His hands unconsciously formed a seal, and an ancient-looking yellow bronze eight-trigram appeared before him, continually flowing and transforming into various vague images, amid which a figure wrapped in purple qi faintly appeared.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

But before he could ask anything, Feng Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and phantom eight-trigrams flowed within his pupils.

"Brother Xiao, I have something to attend to; I must leave first, and the rest is up to you."

The moment his words fell, Feng Yi reached out, and the yellow bronze eight-trigram returned to his hand, turning into a broken fragment.

At the same time, he formed a mysterious hand seal with both hands and softly said, 'Union!'

Hum

A mysterious ripple appeared in heaven and earth, the entire Lost Paradise world fell silent, as if everything had paused.

In an instant, Xiao Chen felt his soul tremble, his thoughts as if stalled.

Instinctively looking toward the direction the ripple came from, what met his eyes was still that familiar figure in a dark robe.

However, at this moment Feng Yi's forehead bore a mysterious mark, shaped like a cluster of burning firewood, resembling the light of civilization.

Translation: However, at this moment, Feng Yi's forehead bore a mysterious mark, shaped like a cluster of burning firewood, resembling the light of civilization.

We need to keep it concise but faithful. Let's produce: "However, at this moment, Feng Yi's forehead bore a mysterious mark, shaped like a cluster of burning firewood, resembling the light of civilization."

Check: We kept all information: however, at this moment, Feng Yi's forehead bore a mysterious mark, shaped like a cluster of burning firewood, resembling the light of civilization. Good.

More importantly, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that the aura of this Feng big brother before him had undergone some indescribable change, carrying a certain ethereal quality.

Translation: More importantly, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that the aura of this Feng big brother before him had undergone some indescribable change, carrying a certain ethereal quality.

We need to keep 'Feng big brother' as 'Feng big brother'? Since we decided to exclude generic forms of address, but we still need to translate the meaning. The phrase 'this Feng big brother' means 'this Feng big brother'. We can translate it as 'this Feng big brother'. However, we might want to keep 'Feng big brother' as is. But we said we exclude generic forms of address from the names list, yet we still need to translate them in the text. So we can translate 'Feng big brother' as 'Feng big brother'. That's fine.

Thus: "More importantly, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that the aura of this Feng big brother before him had undergone some indescribable change, carrying a certain ethereal quality."

Check: More importantly, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that the aura of this Feng big brother before him had undergone some indescribable change, carrying a certain ethereal quality. Good.

This feeling is somewhat familiar!

Translation: This feeling is somewhat familiar!

We need to keep the exclamation. So: "This feeling is somewhat familiar!"

A flash of spiritual light appeared in his heart, and two figures emerged in Xiao Chen's mind.

There's a typo: 'In Xiao Chen's mind' likely means 'In Xiao Chen's mind'. We'll translate: 'A flash of inspiration struck Xiao Chen's mind, and two figures appeared.'

A flash of spiritual light appeared in his heart, and in Xiao Chen's mind two figures emerged.

Let's produce: "A flash of spiritual light appeared in his heart, and in Xiao Chen's mind two figures emerged."

A flash of spiritual light appeared in his heart, and in Xiao Chen's mind two figures emerged.

Suiren Shi, and Old Ancestor Dragon.

Translation: Suiren Shi, and Old Ancestor Dragon.

We need to keep the period? The Chinese has a period after Suiren Shi, and then 'and Old Ancestor Dragon'. We'll translate: 'Suiren Shi, and Old Ancestor Dragon.'

Feng big brother. No, the human ancestor has restored his ancestral god cultivation.

Translation: Feng big brother. No, the human ancestor has restored his ancestral god cultivation.

This is a thought that spontaneously surfaced in Xiao Chen's mind.

On the other side, Feng Yi gazed apathetically at the Lost Paradise before him, like the Heavenly Dao looming above.

Translation: On the other side, Feng Yi gazed apathetically at the Lost Paradise before him, like the Heavenly Dao looming above.

We need to use "the Heavenly Dao" from glossary. So: "On the other side, Feng Yi gazed apathetically at the Lost Paradise before him, like the Heavenly Dao looming above."

Check: On the other side, Feng Yi gazed apathetically at the Lost Paradise before him, like the Heavenly Dao looming above. Good.

He only felt that his vision was constantly ascending in dimension, and the whole world had completely changed in his eyes.

Translation: He only felt that his vision was constantly ascending in dimension, and the whole world had completely changed in his eyes.

We need to keep 'the whole world' as 'the whole world'. So: 'He only felt that his vision was constantly ascending in dimension, and the whole world had completely changed in his eyes.'

'Is this the realm and vision of this ancestral god Suiren Shi?'

Translation: "Is this the realm and vision of that ancestral god, Suiren Shi?"

We need to keep the quotes. The Chinese uses 【】. We'll keep as double quotes? We'll just use English double quotes. So: ""Is this the realm and vision of that ancestral god, Suiren Shi?""

But we need to keep the punctuation inside. We'll output: ""Is this the realm and vision of that ancestral god, Suiren Shi?""

At this moment, Feng Yi felt that his mind and spirit were situated in a dimension never before reached, reviewing everything about himself with a completely new perspective, examining the great cosmic laws of the external world, and even feeling omnipotent.

Translation: At this moment, Feng Yi felt that his mind and spirit were situated in a dimension never before reached, reviewing everything about himself with a completely new perspective, examining the great cosmic laws of the external world, and even feeling omnipotent.

We need to keep 'great cosmic laws' as 'great cosmic laws'. So: 'At this moment, Feng Yi felt that his mind and spirit were situated in a dimension never before reached, reviewing everything about himself with a completely new perspective, examining the great cosmic laws of the external world, and even feeling omnipotent.'

At the same time, the various powers within his body instinctively began to reorganize and transform according to his current realm and understanding.

Translation: At the same time, the various forces within him instinctively reorganized and transformed according to his current realm and understanding.

Heavenly Tablet Mystic Law, Easy Dao Heavenly Pupil, the divine abilities of Door and Fate, Dragon Clan battle techniques, Six Paths Reincarnation Great Divine Ability, the two incomplete Qin Dao techniques containing the Way of Life and Death, and even that Great Divine Ability he had just recently created.

Translation: Heavenly Stele Mystic Law, Easy Dao Heavenly Eye, Gate and Fate Divine Ability, Dragon Clan Battle Skills, Six Paths Reincarnation Great Divine Ability, the two incomplete Qin Dao techniques containing the Way of Life and Death, and even that Great Divine Ability he had just recently created.

Almost in an instant, these powers reached a level that Feng Yi could not have achieved before, and could not even comprehend.

Translation: In almost an instant, these forces reached a level that Feng Yi could never have achieved before, nor even comprehended.

But at this moment, these were merely adjustments made instinctively according to his realm.

His mind and spirit connected with the Fuxi Qin, and an unimaginable immense power flowed into his body, making Feng Yi feel as if he were greater than the entire world.

Translation: His mind and spirit connected with the Fuxi Qin, and an unimaginable vast power flowed into his body, making Feng Yi feel as if he were greater than the entire world.

We need to use "Fuxi Qin". So: "His mind and spirit connected with the Fuxi Qin, and an unimaginable vast power flowed into his body, making Feng Yi feel as if he were greater than the entire world."

If it were the past, this powerful force could instantly reduce him to nothing, utterly annihilating him.

Translation: If it were the past, this powerful force could instantly reduce him to nothing, utterly vanishing in ash and smoke.

But now, he effortlessly commanded it all, instinctively understanding how to use it.

Translation: But now, he effortlessly commanded it all, instinctively knowing how to use it.

"Is this the fire being passed down? No wonder it's Sui Ren."

A sigh rose; Feng Yi gazed at the void before him, a light gold hue flowing in his pupils, the Easy Dao Heavenly Pupil reaching an unimaginable level, the Nine Provinces and the four-direction world fully displayed before his eyes, time and space in his eyes seeming to become special lines extending from points, forming surfaces, and overlapping into the void, past and future turning into ever-flowing illusory rivers.

Gate

Gao Miao's voice sounded; the entire Lost Paradise instantly became illusory, the void overlapped layer upon layer, and a series of special doors were opened.

In the next moment, Feng Yi's figure vanished directly.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Xiao Chen came to his senses and was instantly dumbfounded.

Brother Feng left.

Left

What should I do?

"Ee-yah."

Keke rubbed its eyes with its tiny paws, and a bewildered color also appeared in its eyes.

Hum

Just then, a somewhat illusory butterfly flew out.

"Zhuangzi."

Seeing this familiar butterfly, a thought subconsciously arose in Xiao Chen's mind.

Above Dragon Island

Under the towering giant tree, the Ancestral Dragon was affectionately looking at the young dragons constantly fighting not far away, when suddenly it seemed to sense something, and instinctively looked ahead.

In the next moment, the void overlapped layer upon layer, and a figure walked out.

Feng Yi

Before the words fell, the Ancestral Dragon's murky dragon eyes suddenly widened, and it exclaimed in surprise: "Feng Daoist, have you restored your position as the ancestral god?"

He lightly shook his head, and Feng Yi spoke calmly: "Temporarily, it just happens to help the senior resolve the dragon clan's seal issue."

Seal

Before the words fell, a light gold hue flowed in Feng Yi's pupils, and he saw the ancient, weathered city in the special dimension above Dragon Island.

With a movement of his feet, an illusory great door opened, and his figure directly appeared in the ancient city, before the celestial tablet at its center.

He nodded toward the suddenly appearing Sui Ren not far away, and Feng Yi placed his hand on the celestial tablet.

Hum

The Fuxi Qin appeared above Feng Yi's head, its melodious sound resonating, forming a certain resonance with the celestial tablet before him.

In the next moment, a phantom Bagua diagram lit up on Feng Yi's palm, heading toward the dragon character on the celestial tablet, seeking to erase it directly.

Boom

The celestial tablet, which had been resonating with the Fuxi Qin, trembled, emitting an extremely powerful sealing force that pressed down on Feng Yi.

However, a thought moved in Feng Yi's heart, the sound of the Fuxi Qin rose, and a mighty qi surged from it, blocking the tablet's sealing power.

Boom

The celestial tablet's sealing power was blocked, and an even more vast surge rose.

In the next moment, a phantom of a new celestial tablet appeared before the dead city's celestial tablet, standing side by side, jointly suppressing Feng Yi.

Indeed, as objects left by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there is a deep connection between the celestial tablets; this method is indeed feasible!

This thought arose in his mind, Feng Yi's mind and spirit connected with the Fuxi Qin, actively activating the power of this divine weapon to oppose the celestial tablet's force.

He intends to seize this opportunity to gather the complete Great Dao engravings from all nine faces of the celestial tablets, so that his own celestial tablet mystic art may become complete.

The celestial tablets are scattered across all realms, even the Primordial Heavenly Realm and the World of Death possess them; this is the only way for Feng Yi in the early stage to collect all the celestial tablet engravings.

Boom boom boom

As the power of the Fuxi Qin strengthened, phantom celestial tablets flew one after another in the void, causing the sealing power to increase exponentially.

At this moment, Feng Yi focused his gaze entirely on those flying celestial tablet phantoms, seeing the profound engravings on each tablet, and with his current realm he contemplated and understood them, allowing his internal celestial tablet mystic art to be swiftly supplemented and perfected.

Boom

Until the moment the virtual shadow of the sixth-faced heavenly stele fell, the seven-faced heavenly stele seemed to form some kind of formation, causing the sealing power to suddenly surge.

A sense of danger rose in his heart, Feng Yi's spiritual sense frantically warned, and the Fuxi Qin also trembled violently.

"Have we reached the limit? Forget it, the engraving on the seven-faced heavenly stele is enough for now; don't be greedy!"

This thought arose in his mind; Feng Yi completely memorized the engraving on the seven-faced heavenly stele, linked his spirit with the Fuxi Qin, activating the divine artifact's greatest power, the trigram on his palm becoming unprecedentedly strong, directly erasing the dragon character on the stele.

Boom

The heavenly stele trembled violently, but Feng Yi no longer opposed it, his figure swiftly retreating.

The next moment, he nodded to Suiren Shi, his figure becoming illusory, and directly left the Death City.

Having lost its target, the other heavenly stele phantoms vanished, leaving only the Death City's heavenly stele to fall again.

Suiren Shi glanced at the heavenly stele, his form again turning into black mist, merging into the ancient city.

Chant

As the seal on the dragon race on the heavenly stele disappeared, the entire Dragon Isle suddenly echoed with loud dragon cries.

On the Holy Mountain.

Feng Yi sat cross-legged, his spirit sinking into his body, perceiving his own changes.

In the tome, the majestic figure holding the firewood fire grew somewhat dim, yet the surrounding pseudo-god half-ancestors had a certain qi flowing into them, continuously absorbed by that majestic figure holding the firewood fire, causing his image to gradually solidify again.

After a long period of contemplation, Feng Yi came to, withdrawing his spirit from the tome, countless thoughts turning in his mind.

"Pseudo-god Hongjun?"

"Time waits for no one; it's also time to undergo another transmigration."

Although Feng Yi's cultivation progress was not slow, this world gave him no time to grow.

Without reaching the true Ancestral God realm, he felt utterly unsafe.

This time he intends to perform a physical transmigration, utilizing the different rivers of time across worlds, where the flow of time differs, to complete his own accumulation.

With thoughts turning in his mind, Feng Yi sank his spirit into the depths of the mental world.

There existed a cluster of constantly shifting black-and-white light points, sometimes turning into a yin-yang trigram diagram, sometimes into a tortoise-shell tome, sometimes into an illusory river of fate, like the source of the Yi Dao, which is the very foundation of his transmigration.

His spirit linked with it; the next moment, this entity continually shifted, becoming incredibly sublime, as if situated in an ineffable special dimension, seemingly above the true heavens.

Hum

The next moment, this cluster of black-and-white light points directly transformed into a continuously flowing river of fate, surpassing the heavens of the Longevity Realm, flowing above the true myriad heavens, representing the true source of the Yi Dao.

Feng Yi's figure instantly turned into a beam of light, like a drop of water in the river of fate, merging into it and vanishing.

"This time it probably won't be a trap, transmigrating into a world as powerful as that of a Lifetime Sovereign, right!"

Before losing consciousness, Feng Yi's heart involuntarily gave rise to this thought.
