Chapter 75 The Transformation of the Ferocious Beast
"I never imagined that our combined efforts could summon the River of Time!"
Regaining their senses, the two knew this was a rare opportunity. Without hesitation, they immediately immersed their minds in the River of Time, looking towards the future.
Layers of mist rose above the River of Time, obscuring the future and making the past unknowable. But Fuxi and Dijun were no ordinary beings; how could mere mist possibly faze them!
With a wave of their hands, a Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams diagram appeared in the void, wisps of Dao energy dispelling the mist and revealing the future clearly before their eyes.
"This is…" Dijun seemed somewhat shocked, as if witnessing an unbelievable scene.
Just as they were about to follow the timeline downwards, suddenly, the phantom of Mount Buzhou appeared in the River of Time, radiating an aura of suppression, pressing down fiercely upon Dijun and Fuxi.
Caught off guard, both reacted with incredible speed. Their bodies trembled violently, unleashing a surge of immense power. In an instant, they simultaneously formed hand seals, unleashing two dazzling beams of light that met the onrushing Mount Buzhou head-on.
Though both were strong, Mount Buzhou was clearly stronger. Under its awe-inspiring divine might, the two beams of light disintegrated and vanished in mid-air before even touching Mount Buzhou.
Then, two muffled groans rang out, and Di Jun and Fu Xi were blasted out of the river of time by Mount Buzhou.
"Ahem! Mount Buzhou is truly powerful. With it suppressing the river of time, who can defy the passage of time? I doubt even Master could do it!" After a couple of light coughs, Di Jun sighed, then turned to Fuxi with a serious expression and asked, "Fellow Daoist, did you see it?"
"Yes, I saw it. Ten thousand years later, countless ferocious beasts will emerge, ravaging the primordial land!" Fuxi nodded gravely, then asked with a puzzled look,
"When my sister became a saint, she felt the suffering of the primordial beings from the attacks of ferocious beasts and took action to clear out a group of them. According to this, the number of ferocious beasts in the primordial land should have decreased sharply.
"But from the scenes I glimpsed in the river of time, those ferocious beasts were simply endless. My sister became a saint only a hundred thousand years ago. Even if the ferocious beasts multiplied rapidly, there shouldn't be so many."
"This is truly strange. Where did these ferocious beasts come from?"
Fuxi pondered silently, trying to decipher their origins. He felt the heavens were shrouded in mystery, as if the beasts had appeared out of thin air.
"This beast calamity has spread far and wide, even affecting the Heavenly Realm. Regardless of where they came from, we must be careful."
With that, Dijun called to Fuxi,
"Please accompany me to the Lingxiao Palace to gather all the demons and discuss our demon race's response to this beast calamity!"
"Of course!" Fuxi replied, following Dijun to the Lingxiao Palace.
As the two conversed, the heavens suddenly became clear, revealing the beast chaos that would occur ten thousand years later within the river of destiny.
Instantly, many powerful beings in the primordial world sensed this and began to calculate with their fingers.
"Hiss! A rampage of ferocious beasts? How could this be?"
"First, the Five Elemental Beasts appeared, and now this rampage of ferocious beasts has arrived. Neither is in the sights of Heaven. What's happening to the Primordial World?"
"Alas! The waters of the Primordial World are getting deeper and deeper. I wonder how many innocent lives will perish this time?"
"A time of great turmoil, truly a time of great turmoil!"
Having glimpsed the rampage of ferocious beasts ten thousand years in the future from the River of Destiny, many powerful beings had different thoughts. They silently withdrew their divine senses and began to calculate.
Di Jun and Fu Xi entered the River of Time, intending to investigate Feng Zichen's affairs, but were blocked by Buzhou Mountain. By chance, they unexpectedly discovered the secrets of the ferocious beasts, causing a tremor throughout the Primordial World.
The rampage of ferocious beasts affected the entire Primordial World. Di Jun realized this, and due to karmic entanglements, he connected it with his own whims, which allowed Feng Zichen to escape a calamity.
Coincidentally, this rampage of ferocious beasts was also inextricably linked to Feng Zichen.
That day, deep within Buzhou Mountain, Feng Zichen took the seed of the World Tree, rendering the Chaos God's countless years of effort futile. Instantly, the Chaos God's resentment surged, and his malevolent aura deepened.
It was this resentment and malevolent aura that spread throughout the primordial world, giving rise to a vast number of ferocious beasts, thus triggering the cataclysm ten thousand years later.
If this rampage hadn't diverted Dijun's attention, Feng Zichen's true spirit entering Ziwei Star might have been discovered by Him. The cycle of cause and effect is truly interconnected.
…
Within Ziwei Star, Feng Zichen's true spirit entered the Star Embryo, as if returning to its mother's womb, without the slightest barrier.
Indeed, this Star Embryo was specifically created by Ziwei Star for Feng Zichen, its aura identical to his; how could there be any barrier?
Having adapted to the Stellar Dao Embryo, Feng Zichen, without bothering to examine his own changes, quickly sent a wisp of divine thought across layers of space to arrive at Ziwei Mountain.
There, Feng Zichen's physical body sat quietly cross-legged on the ground, his body radiating brilliant Dao light, the might of a Taiyi Golden Immortal sweeping in all directions.
Seeing that his physical body was intact, Feng Zichen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly projected the wisp of divine thought into his body.
Opening his eyes, a ray of divine light from the sun and moon flashed, illuminating the dim mountainside. Then, Feng Zichen mobilized all his magical power, practicing all the divine abilities he had learned.
"Was it really too much to push myself?" After a moment, Feng Zichen frowned. Controlling his physical body with a wisp of divine thought was ultimately inconvenient, and his strength had decreased too much.
With a thought, wisps of incense smoke gathered. With another wave of his hand, the Suiren Lamp appeared, dropping sparks of firewood to ignite the incense smoke. After being away from the human race for so many years, he had indeed accumulated quite a bit of incense smoke.
As the incense burned, wisps of colorful smoke rose, carrying the negative emotions of all living beings—the seven emotions and six desires.
Even with his greatly increased strength, Feng Zichen dared not let them get close. He summoned the Chaos Pearl, absorbing all the emotions and desires within it.
Soon after, the incense smoke completely refined the smoke, flying back into the Suiren Lamp and disappearing into the human race's fortune.
In the same spot, a crystal containing all that was beautiful, radiating a sacred aura, floated in mid-air.
"Come!"
With a flick of his hand, the Chaos Pearl released a stream of primordial chaotic energy;
The Primordial Dao Bell released a stream of primordial chaotic energy.
The Innate Star Tree released a stream of primordial stellar energy.
and even the World Tree released a stream of world primordial energy.
After the four primordial energies appeared, they transformed into four balls of Dao fire, burning towards the incense crystal. At the same time, all the myriad Daos of heaven and earth descended, and boundless innate energy surged forth.
Within the Starry Dao Embryo, Feng Zichen continuously performed hand seals, drawing upon a wisp of the primordial power of the Ziwei Star and channeling it into the incense crystal through the Heavenly Dao Space.
Within the Nine Heavens Divine Embryo, Lei Ze also performed hand seals, drawing upon his own power and channeling it into the incense crystal through the Heavenly Dao Space.
