Chapter 74 Breakthrough to Taiyi
"Zi Chen, do you know what you're doing? Do you know how much loss your order will bring to the human race? Do you know how many human warriors will die because of this?" An elder stood before Feng Zi Chen, questioning him sternly.
"I know!" Feng Zi Chen nodded expressionlessly.
"You know? Then how dare you issue such an order! Do you want them to go and die?" Hearing this, the anger in everyone's hearts erupted completely, and they angrily accused Feng Zi Chen.
"Enough, you don't need to say anymore. This is not only Zi Chen's order, but also my order!" Seeing everyone constantly accusing Feng Zi Chen, You Chao said, somewhat displeased.
"Why? Why would the Chao Emperor issue such an absurd order?" Everyone was puzzled. Why would the usually benevolent Chao Emperor send his own people out to their deaths?
"The human race on the shores of the East Sea has been protected too well by us. They've forgotten the dangers of the primordial world. They think the world is so vast that they can roam freely!
They should be allowed to go out and see the dangers of the primordial world." "Only by letting them experience pain and fear will they understand how fortunate they are to live on the shores of the East Sea!" Feng Zichen explained calmly to the crowd.
"Besides, throughout the history of the primordial world, which great clan rose to power without stepping over countless corpses? And since the birth of the human race, we have never experienced a major war. This is a perfect opportunity to let our people go out and train, cultivating their courage and fighting spirit."
"Sigh! Then so be it!" Seeing the resolute attitude of Feng Zichen and Youchao, the crowd could say nothing more and had no choice but to retreat.
The next day, Feng Zichen extracted a jade vein from the Zichen Cave Heaven and spent several years refining tens of thousands of ever-burning lamps, which were placed in the ancestral temple.
These were life lamps, created by Feng Zichen based on his memories of later generations, specifically for clansmen who went out. When a clansman went out, he only needed to drip his essence blood into them to determine his location, life or death.
...
At the foot of Ziwei Mountain, Feng Zichen sat on a high platform, expounding on the Dao of the Eight Trigrams, which captivated the many humans.
"The Eight Trigrams are: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui; Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Lake..."
As he spoke, a diagram of the Primordial Eight Trigrams slowly unfolded, illustrating the principles of the universe's operation and the cycle of life and death.
When Fuxi passed down the Primordial Eight Trigrams, he instructed Feng Zichen to pass on the Way of the Primordial Eight Trigrams to the human race, thus fulfilling his connection with them.
Now, with the human immortals about to embark on a journey, Feng Zichen felt the opportunity had arrived and seized the chance to pass on the Way of the Primordial Eight Trigrams. This would both strengthen the human race's foundation and increase the chances of survival for those traveling—a double benefit.
"Fuxi truly deserves his reputation as a master of primordial deduction; he likely foresaw the human race's problems back then and thus specifically passed down the Way of the Primordial Eight Trigrams to address today's situation." "This great master's every move was imbued with profound meaning, leaving Feng Zichen in awe.
A hundred years later, after Feng Zichen finished his sermon, before the crowd could express their gratitude, he vanished in a flash. His true spirit had surged, and the opportunity for a breakthrough had arrived.
On the day his true spirit reached its peak, he had already shown signs of a breakthrough. However, at that time, he had important matters to attend to and forcibly suppressed the feeling of a breakthrough.
Today, while lecturing, he was also sorting out his own gains, and in a trance, he resonated with heaven and earth, once again attracting the opportunity for a breakthrough. This time..." He dared not suppress his cultivation any longer.
A purple auspicious cloud rose slowly from behind Feng Zichen's head, lifting the Chaos Pearl, the Zichen Sword, and the Primordial Dao Bell, making Feng Zichen feel light and agile.
Then, a wisp of purple Dao light emerged from his body, constantly leaping, sometimes transforming into the stars of the heavens, sometimes into the myriad phenomena of the universe, sometimes manifesting the myriad Daos of heaven and earth, formless and intangible, yet shining brilliantly. With a boom, as if heaven and earth resounded, this wisp of purple Dao light pierced through layers of space and arrived at the location of Feng Zichen's true spirit.
The True Spirit opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing the purple Dao light into its belly. Instantly, a perfect aura emanated from the True Spirit, and the immortal Dao light illuminated all directions. With a light step, the True Spirit stepped into the twenty-seventh Heavenly Dao space, and a pressure belonging to a Taiyi Golden Immortal erupted from Feng Zichen's body. At this moment, he officially stepped into the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
However, just as Feng Zichen broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, a huge suction force came and pulled him into the Ziwei Divine Embryo of Ziwei Star.
"Hmm? What happened? Why am I so uneasy?" Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Di Jun suddenly had a sudden whim and couldn't help but frown and mutter to himself.
After pondering for a moment, Di Jun took out the Hetu and Luoshu and silently began to calculate.
"Hmm? Why can't I calculate it?" Under the heavenly secrets, everything was normal.
Now Di Jun was a little flustered. A master like Him would never have a sudden whim. Once it did, it meant that something big was about to happen.
Even the Hetu and Luoshu cannot deduce this now, further highlighting the extraordinary nature of this matter.
"Someone! Quickly go to the Heavenly Palace to invite Emperor Xi... But, I'll go myself!" With that, Di Jun's figure flashed and appeared outside Emperor Xi's Palace.
"Why did you suddenly come here, fellow Daoist?" Sensing Di Jun's aura, Fuxi quickly came out of Emperor Xi's Palace and invited Di Jun in.
"Fellow Daoist, I have come today with a request." Then, Di Jun told Fuxi what had just happened.
Fuxi's achievements in the Dao of Deduction were known throughout the Primordial World. Even Di Jun had to admit that without the Hetu and Luoshu, his own achievements in the Dao of Deduction were far less than a ten-thousandth of Fuxi's.
"Is that so? With your strength, fellow Daoist, plus the Hetu and Luoshu, there are not many things in the Primordial World that can be hidden from you!" After listening to Di Jun's explanation, Fuxi couldn't help but become somewhat solemn.
"That's precisely why I've come to seek your help, fellow Daoist; otherwise, how could I disturb your peaceful cultivation!" Di Jun said with a wry smile.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me!" With a polite gesture, Fuxi immediately sat cross-legged and began to calculate in his mind.
"Strange! Why can't I calculate it either?" After a moment of calculation, Fuxi also felt that the heavenly secrets were normal, and nothing major had happened.
After the World Tree revived, the favor of Pangu on Feng Zichen was even stronger. With Pangu's intervention, how many people in the primordial world could calculate his heavenly secrets?
"Fellow Daoist, how about we join forces?" Exchanging a glance, Fuxi and Dijun said in unison.
Dijun casually tossed out the Hetu and Luoshu, which flew out, evolving the Dao of the Nine Palaces of the Primordial World; Fuxi pointed, and the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial World appeared, falling into the Hetu and Luoshu. Instantly, a Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams diagram appeared, interpreting the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
As if heaven and earth had frozen, a long river slowly appeared, exuding the aura of time.
"The River of Time and Space?" Seeing this long river, even with their late-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation, they were momentarily stunned.
