Chapter 19 The Dao of Gods and Demons
The Creation Pool, containing the Dao of Creation, is a superior-grade merit treasure with thirty-three innate divine restrictions. It is also a rare inheritance treasure.
What is an inheritance treasure?
Like the Dragon Gate and Dragon Transformation Pool in the Dragon Clan, although not powerful, they can suppress the Dragon Clan's fortune, purify the bloodlines of all spirits, ensure the continuation of true dragons, and increase the Dragon Clan's strength.
The Creation Pool is such a treasure; it has no power whatsoever, yet it can suppress fortune and produce Creation Elixir. Consuming it can improve aptitude, enhance comprehension, and aid in enlightenment.
Moreover, the Creation Pool is fused with Daoist script, inheriting its fortune. In the future, if Daoist script flourishes, the Creation Pool will progress accordingly, evolving more innate divine restrictions and advancing to a top-grade innate merit treasure.
The Creation Pool actively released its divine restrictions, and Feng Zichen quickly refined all thirty-three innate divine restrictions, gaining control of the Creation Pool.
Only then did Feng Zichen have time to examine the Creation Pool.
The Creation Pool wasn't large, only about three zhang in size, its surface shimmering with ever-changing colors, and wisps of creation energy hanging down.
Upon closer inspection, the Creation Pool wasn't the square shape Feng Zichen had imagined, but rather a pentagon. On each side, a divine beast's head protruded, its mouth spewing forth Creation Elixir.
These divine beasts were the Five Elements Divine Beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin, corresponding to the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth.
Inside the pool, the Creation Elixir emitted a shimmering white light, and a fragrant aroma wafted into Feng Zichen's nostrils, invigorating him and bringing him to the brink of enlightenment.
Feng Zichen took out a drop of Creation Elixir and swallowed it. Instantly, a surge of creation power spread within his body, cleansing his flesh and strengthening his origins.
Sensing the powerful effects of the Creation Elixir, Feng Zichen smiled, ceasing his exploration of the Zichen Cave Heaven, and turned to leave.
Originally, he planned to strengthen Ziwei Peak and then directly pass on his own lineage. However, Ziwei Peak received the assistance of innate essence and gained momentum to advance to a grotto-heaven. Such an opportunity was rare and precious, so Feng Zichen had to temporarily shelve his plan to pass on his lineage and focus all his efforts on advancing to a grotto-heaven.
It took more than ten years to successfully open the grotto-heaven.
Although this caused a delay of more than ten years, Feng Zichen's gains were undoubtedly enormous.
The opening of the grotto-heaven directly solved the problem that acquired beings could not absorb innate energy, and also gave him the foundation for establishing his lineage.
Grotto-heavens and blessed lands are born from the creation of heaven and earth, and are inherently capable of gathering fortune. This is why great supernatural beings like to establish their dojos in grotto-heavens and blessed lands.
Great Luo beings have their own dojos; if it weren't for fortune, why would they bother to painstakingly build their dojos?
Zichen Grotto-heaven is a superior-grade grotto-heaven in the primordial world, second only to the dojos of the top great supernatural beings in the primordial world. Establishing a lineage here would receive the blessing of Zichen Grotto-heaven's fortune, which would be of great benefit to the development of the lineage.
The Primordial Creation Pool, a superior-grade innate merit treasure, can be used to suppress fortune after Feng Zichen establishes his Dao lineage.
Dao script carries the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, releasing innate divine script. Feng Zichen can use it to expound the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, transforming innate divine script into Dao script for the cultivation of all humans.
Twelve years of enlightenment not only allowed Feng Zichen to create Dao script but also to comprehend several cultivation techniques. This ensures that after passing on his Dao lineage, his sect won't only have the Starry Sky Dao Scripture to cultivate.
Thus, with the sect, the inherited treasure, and the cultivation techniques all in place, it is the perfect time for him to pass on his Dao lineage. At the foot of
Ziwei Mountain, Feng Zichen carved a platform from stone, summoning all the acquired humans within the human territory to pass on the lineage of gods and demons. "Gods and Demons" signifies the concept of innate gods and demons.
Naming his lineage "Gods and Demons" represents his determination to defy the innate nature step by step, ultimately transforming into an innate god and demon. Because of his acquired human identity , Feng Zichen suffered greatlyfrom the oppression of heaven and earth; therefore, the path of cultivation he forged was the path to becoming an innate god and demon.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, Feng Zichen taught the group the Nine-Breath Breathing Method.
This was a breathing method he had comprehended from the Nine-Breath Breathing Method of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, the most suitable for the human race.
Below, as Feng Zichen spoke, a mysterious Daoist aura descended, enveloping the group and helping them comprehend the Nine-Breath Breathing Method and adjust their breathing rhythm. This was the first time the Gods and Demons lineage had been taught; this was a unique benefit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
Seeing this, Feng Zichen waved his hand, and the Creation Pool on Ziwei Mountain trembled violently, spewing out all the Creation Spiritual Liquid, transforming it into a spiritual rain that fell upon the group.
Already immersed in enlightenment, the group, aided by the Creation Spiritual Liquid, opened their divine seas one after another. In an instant, the sounds of mountains collapsing and seas surging were incessant, and countless divine lights shone brightly.
After the opening of the Divine Sea, the next step was to choose one of the three innate bloodlines of the human race and transform it into the corresponding Dao body.
By now, Feng Zichen's understanding had changed, and he naturally saw the essence of choosing a bloodline.
Choosing a bloodline only transformed one into a Dao body, better adapting to the environment, rather than necessarily following the corresponding Great Dao.
It was not as he had thought back then, that once a choice was made, there was no turning back.
While Feng Zichen was recalling the past, many people had already chosen their bloodlines. On their bodies, the power of creation surged, stars manifested, or Qilin roared and Tengshe breathed.
When Feng Zichen broke through, because he was the founder, he was blessed by the power of heaven and earth, which enabled him to evolve the supreme achievement of the three Great Daos. But these humans did not have this opportunity.
If they were not the first generation of successors of the God-Demon lineage, blessed by luck, and aided by the Creation Elixir, they would not even be able to evolve the shadows of stars or the images of divine beasts. Future successors wouldn't have this good fortune.
Feng Zichen overcame all the difficulties of establishing the system, and they reaped the benefits without effort; how could they expect the same treatment?
After three days, a total of 18,000 people opened their Divine Seas, mostly with the Creation Bloodline, followed by the Star Bloodline, and the fewest with the Earth Bloodline.
Feng Zichen understood; after all, Nuwa was the Holy Mother of Humanity, and naturally many people yearned for her bloodline. It was also reasonable that the Star Bloodline was more popular than the Earth Bloodline because of him.
Once their realms were stable, Feng Zichen began expounding the Great Dao, passing down the Five Elements Dao Scripture.
The Five Elements Dao Scripture could be practiced in five separate methods, or all five could be practiced together; the choice depended entirely on their own comprehension.
After transmitting the scripture, Feng Zichen dismissed them. They were only beginning their journey on the Dao, with limited lifespans; cultivation should be their primary focus, and one method was sufficient.
After they left, Feng Zichen didn't rest. He activated the Lesser Divine Derivation Technique, attempting to deduce the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang using Daoist script. The Lesser Divine Derivation Technique was a deduction method Feng Zichen comprehended from the movement of stars. When he activated this technique, the many star gods within him would also activate it, greatly enhancing his deduction abilities. (End of Chapter)
