Chapter 35 The Five Elemental Beasts
"Your request is granted!"
Like the whisper of the Great Dao, yet also like the roar of ten thousand paths, it reached Feng Zichen's ears, becoming the most ordinary sound.
This was the voice of the Ancestral Dragon. There were no dazzling pronouncements, no golden lotuses springing from the earth; He simply appeared abruptly before Feng Zichen. As His words fell, the primordial world trembled!
In the unknown void, a vast river flowed ceaselessly, countless scenes appearing in its waters, depicting the destinies of all beings. However, layers of mist shrouded the river's surface, obscuring its true form.
This was the River of Destiny, within which the fates of all beings below the Great Luo realm were contained.
As the Ancestral Dragon's words faded, the once tranquil River of Destiny suddenly changed.
In the east, a phantom of an Azure Dragon appeared, spitting out a beam of azure light
towards the River of Destiny; in the west,
a phantom of a White Tiger appeared, spitting out a beam of white light;
In the south, a phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared, spitting out a beam of crimson light; in the north, a phantom of a Black Tortoise appeared, spitting out a beam of black light, and in the sky, a phantom of a Qilin appeared, spitting out a beam of yellow light.
These were the embodiment of the destiny of the five races, and these five beams of light were a portion of their destiny.
Then, a ball of fire, supported by the five-colored radiance, rose slowly from the River of Destiny, transcended, and disappeared.
This ball of fire was the embodiment of the destiny of the human race. Blessed by the destiny of the five races, it transcended the River of Destiny, signifying that the human race possessed the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
From then on, in the primordial world, the patriarchs of the human race, empowered by the human race's destiny, could display the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The changes in the River of Destiny naturally did not escape the perception of the powerful beings of the primordial world. Instantly, countless gazes pierced through the thick fog.
However, the Five Elemental Beasts, working together, moved with incredible speed. By the time they cast their gazes, the human race's destiny had already transcended it, and the River of Destiny had returned to calm.
The powerful beings searched the River of Destiny for a moment, finding nothing amiss, and then retreated one after another. Only Nuwa, whose destiny was connected to that of the human race, understood what had happened.
In Nuwa's palace, Nuwa frowned and pondered for a moment. With a wave of her hand, she concealed the human race's destiny, making it impossible for anyone to discern the anomaly.
The transcendence of the human race's destiny from the River of Destiny undoubtedly had a tremendous impact on the human race.
Within the human territory, the earth's veins shifted, giving rise to numerous spiritual springs, and endless primordial energy converged there, giving birth to various spiritual herbs.
Five Golden Immortals, aided by the replenishment of their fortune, achieved spiritual clarity and merged with the Dao, entering the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Several more Profound Immortals suddenly entered a state of enlightenment, also entering the Golden Immortal realm.
Inside the Ancestral Hall, the three leaders of the human race, who were in seclusion, suddenly felt an immense power descend upon them, nearly elevating them to the Daluo realm.
Unfortunately, the human race's fortune was divided into three parts, and this power was divided accordingly, only able to elevate them to the Taiyi extreme realm, unable to advance any further.
In the Zichen Cave Heaven, several earth veins converged, giving rise to five mountain peaks, releasing rich innate five elements energy.
Tens of thousands of Acquired Humans seized this opportunity to open their Divine Seas and enter the path of cultivation.
For a time, various miraculous events occurred among the human race, causing a significant increase in their strength.
…
As the human race grew in number, the shores of the East Sea gradually could no longer meet their needs. For survival, the human race inevitably had to leave the East Sea shores and expand outwards.
However, in the primordial world, the witches and demons fought for supremacy, and ferocious beasts roamed freely. With its current strength, humanity could hardly establish itself in the primordial world.
Therefore, Feng Zichen taught the Five Elements Sacred Beasts the method of condensing incense avatars, asking them to protect humanity and strengthen its power.
After confirming that the method of avatars could indeed grant them their freedom, the Five Elements Sacred Beasts gladly agreed to his request. Thus, the scene just now unfolded.
...
Inside the Dragon Transformation Pool, after uttering these words, the Ancestral Dragon tossed a five-colored ray of light towards Feng Zichen, then vanished silently as before.
The five-colored ray of light landed in Feng Zichen's hand, transforming into a piece of jade shimmering with five-colored light.
"The Primordial Origin of the Five Elements!?"
Upon holding the jade, Feng Zichen felt the aura of the Primordial Origin of the Five Elements wash over him, and was shocked to realize that this was not just a piece of jade, but clearly a small ball of the Primordial Origin of the Five Elements.
This ball of the Primordial Origin of the Five Elements was an unparalleled treasure for a Taiyi Golden Immortal who cultivated the Dao of the Five Elements. Refining this item would only require millions of years of seclusion to attain the Great Luo Dao.
Although Feng Zichen was not a Taiyi Golden Immortal, this item was still of great use to him.
Back in Zifu Prefecture, he had found fifteen Dao Embryos transformed from Primordial Gods and Demons, all embryos of Primordial Spiritual Treasures.
Feng Zichen originally intended to take these embryonic innate spiritual treasures to Mount Ziwei and use the chaotic energy to "accelerate" their development.
However, plans changed.
During his subsequent trip to the Three Immortal Islands, Feng Zichen obtained several top-tier innate spiritual treasures. As a result, he became less interested in these embryonic innate spiritual treasures.
He then used the Chaos Pearl to shatter the embryonic innate spiritual treasures, extracting their essence and combining it with chaotic energy to reforge them.
In the end, the fifteen embryonic innate spiritual treasures were refined into three chaotic primordial embryos, radiating the aura of Yin and Yang, the Three Powers, and the Five Elements.
These three chaotic primordial embryos possessed powerful essences and brilliant innate undying spiritual light, all capable of nurturing high-grade innate spiritual treasures.
However, the increased level meant a significantly longer timeframe for their emergence.
For the Three Powers primordial embryo, Feng Zichen had the Innate Three Powers Grand Array to help it evolve quickly. But for the Yin-Yang primordial embryo and the Five Elements primordial embryo, he lacked the corresponding essence and was powerless to help them.
Now, with the innate Five Elements Origin, as long as it is integrated into the Five Elements Primordial Embryo, the innate spiritual treasure it nurtures will not only be born within ten thousand years, but its quality will also be further improved.
Immediately, Feng Zichen integrated the innate Five Elements Origin into the Five Elements Primordial Embryo.
Rays of five-colored light emanated from the primordial embryo, and endless innate runes flowed across its surface. A five-colored ring could be vaguely seen, constantly pulsating within the Five Elements Primordial Embryo.
"The innate Five Elements Ring?"
Noticing the appearance of the spiritual treasure within the Five Elements Primordial Embryo, Feng Zichen guessed.
Having done all this, he walked towards the exit. Everything was settled; staying in the Dragon Transformation Pool was meaningless, and it was time to leave.
Upon arriving at the exit of the Dragon Transformation Pool, a magnificent golden dragon path appeared before Feng Zichen. The dragon path wound for thirty thousand miles, adorned with purple auspicious omens and gathering rainbow clouds, with numerous jade lotuses and precious flowers covering the white jade tiles.
This was a passage prepared specifically for true dragons!
Indeed, those who can come here are all those who have leaped over the Dragon Gate and transformed into true dragons; this Dragon Path was prepared for them.
Someone like himself, refusing to become a dragon, must be unique!
Thinking this, Feng Zichen stepped onto the Dragon Path.
