Chapter 201 Feng Zichen's Grand Plan
Upon arriving in the Arctic, the ice and snow had vanished, leaving only a vast black ocean flowing silently, emanating an aura that could freeze everything.
This black water was no ordinary substance; it was the Xuanming True Water, one of the Ten Great Divine Waters of the Primordial World, a treasure nurtured by the Dao of Ice Soul, capable of freezing all things and extinguishing life. It could also be used to cultivate the Xuanming Divine Light, possessing boundless power.
This vast ocean formed by the Xuanming Black Water was the most dangerous of all.
Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal who fell into it would, within a short time, have their Dao body shattered, their life force extinguished, their Great Dao solidified, and their undying true spirit sink to the bottom of the lake, with little chance of resurrection.
"Splash!"
Just as Feng Zichen was pondering how to cross the Xuanming Black Water, the ocean automatically parted, revealing a passage wide enough for one person, leading directly to the Arctic.
"Thank you, Xuanwu Saint Venerable!"
After a moment's thought, Feng Zichen understood the reason, bowed slightly to the direction ahead, and then walked along the passage towards the Arctic.
Xuanwu, a top-tier diviner in the primordial world, could easily deduce the time and purpose of Feng Zichen's arrival.
Reaching the end of the passage, Feng Zichen arrived at a small island, where an elderly man dressed in black stood, smiling at him.
Feng Zichen immediately recognized him and bowed, saying, "This humble junior, Feng Zichen, greets the Venerable Xuanwu!"
"Not bad, quite a promising young man, far superior to my aquatic clan's juniors!" Xuanwu praised, scrutinizing Feng Zichen.
"Venerable Venerable, you flatter me. Xuanqi and Aoyi are both exceptionally talented. Without the assistance of human fortune, how could I compare to them?"
Feng Zichen waved his hand modestly. He couldn't admit to this; otherwise, if word got out, the aquatic clan's juniors would hate him to death.
"I already know your purpose in coming here." With a smile, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast didn't continue the conversation, but instead changed the subject, saying, "Take this ball of innate water elemental essence."
Saying this, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast took out a ball of black energy and injected it into Feng Zichen's body.
"Roar!"
As the black energy entered his body, the Xuanwu phantom in Feng Zichen's kidneys instantly solidified, transforming into a wisp of black energy. It resonated with the other four energies, appearing outside his body together, slowly circulating, demonstrating the wonders of the Five Elements' creation.
At this point, the five energies in Feng Zichen's chest had all achieved perfection, completely cultivating the state of Five Energy Convergence.
The eyes do not see, yet the soul resides in the liver; the ears do not hear, yet the essence resides in the kidneys; the tongue does not speak, yet the spirit resides in the heart; the nose does not smell, yet the vital essence resides in the lungs; the limbs do not move, yet the intention resides in the spleen—hence the name Five Energy Convergence.
Essence, spirit, soul, vital essence, and intention each reside in their proper places, gathering body and mind, the mind not wandering, and emotions not chasing after external things. " With just a thousand years of secluded cultivation, one can transcend the river of destiny and become a Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"Thank you, Holy Venerable! I will never forget your help!"
Coming back to his senses, Feng Zichen quickly expressed his gratitude.
"It's nothing, just a small matter. It's nothing to me." The Xuanwu Sacred Beast shook its head indifferently.
"Holy Venerable, I have a request. I wonder if you can grant it?"
Remembering the White Tiger Sacred Beast's advice, Feng Zichen intended to ask the Xuanwu Sacred Beast about the future of humanity.
"You want to ask about humanity, don't you?"
"I have also calculated this matter. I vaguely sense that humanity's vitality seems to be related to the Three Thousand Great Worlds."
"However, those Three Thousand Great Worlds are still in the gestation stage, hidden by the Heavenly Dao in the endless void. Apart from Hongjun, no one knows their location."
"How could the human race have any connection with it? It's truly perplexing."
Even the Xuanwu Sacred Beast was puzzled. The celestial secrets indicated that humanity's path to survival lay within the Three Thousand Great Worlds, yet even Sages couldn't find its trace. How could humanity possibly find it?
This path to survival was no different from a path to death.
However, while the Xuanwu Sacred Beast was perplexed, Feng Zichen understood the connection. Just because Sages couldn't find it didn't mean he couldn't find it.
The roots of the World Tree were connected to the Three Thousand Great Worlds and countless smaller worlds. Once it grew to a certain size, it could enter the Great Worlds through its roots.
Furthermore, the World Tree could accelerate the birth of Great Worlds.
If several Great Worlds were created before the demon race slaughtered humanity, and some of humanity's people were sent into them, it would preserve a portion of humanity's strength, allowing them to avoid the great calamity.
Moreover, if this succeeded, it would give the Sages a tremendous surprise.
In the primordial world, countless innate races roamed freely; compared to them, humanity had no advantage whatsoever. This is why the human race was chosen by the sages to become puppets, the protagonists of heaven and earth.
As the patriarch of the human race, how could Feng Zichen be willing to let humanity become puppets, or even tools, of the sages?
At this moment, reminded by the Xuanwu Sacred Beast, Feng Zichen conceived a grand plan. Currently, the three thousand great worlds are protected by the Heavenly Dao, and no one has discovered their location.
He could completely disperse the human race into the three thousand great worlds, avoiding the sages' notice, secretly developing and accumulating strength, and gradually conquering the great worlds and countless smaller worlds.
Once the sages have cleansed the primordial world, completely controlled its situation, and established the human race as the protagonists of heaven and earth, Feng Zichen would then raise his arm and summon countless human experts from various worlds to gather in the primordial world.
At that time, when one after another human expert at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm suddenly appears before the sages, their expressions will surely be quite interesting.
Even a sage, possessing the power to easily kill a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, wouldn't act recklessly; otherwise, wouldn't the primordial world descend into chaos?
Moreover, the return of numerous Grand Luo Golden Immortals naturally carries the fortune of their respective worlds.
In this way, the human race can gather the fortune of countless worlds, inevitably becoming a powerful force no less formidable than the Witch and Demon races!
At that time, it won't be so easy for a sage to control the human race.
This plan, modified by Feng Zichen based on the concept of "encircling the cities from the countryside," has a high success rate, and the future of the human race holds great promise.
Leaving aside Feng Zichen's chaotic thoughts, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast, after recounting the affairs of the human race, continued: "I cannot foresee the path to survival for the human race, but I have some insight into your swordsmanship's reversal of the innate realm."
"Ah! What?"
Feng Zichen, who was pondering his grand plan, was startled by the Xuanwu Sacred Beast's words, then quickly realized what was happening and said, "Zichen has been rude; I hope the Holy Venerable will not take offense!"
"It's alright. Your concern for the human race is understandable, and some loss of composure is to be expected. How could I blame you!" the Xuanwu Sacred Beast said with a smile.
In its calculations, Feng Zichen had several ways to escape the human race, transform into an innate god-demon, and live a carefree life. But for the sake of the human race, he had given them all up.
This act greatly impressed the Xuanwu Sacred Beast.
