Everything in the world was distorted, and everything became blurred. When everything became clear again, the landscape before our eyes had already changed its appearance.

"They don't even let people finish a sentence."

Feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, which was now more than ten times thinner, Feng Bingwen knew that he had already come out of that blessed land. Without the Qilin guiding him, it was unlikely that he could find his way back.

"I just want to ask if I can take on more karma!"

Human greed is insatiable. Feng Bingwen had already obtained enough benefits to become an immortal, but before he could digest them, he set his sights on the other gourds.

He benefited from one of the gourds, undergoing a complete transformation and becoming a favorite of heaven and earth. He dared not even imagine what it would be like to receive another one, or even both.

Those beings all yearn for transcendence. Feng Bingwen understands this. Although he hasn't figured out the detailed reasons, he can guess a thing or two from the innate five elements Dao body he has now obtained.

"Blessed by Heaven and Earth" is not an exaggeration, but the most apt description. Wherever his gaze falls, within the reach of his spiritual sense, he can freely manipulate the surrounding spiritual energy.

This is clear proof that his current physical body is favored by heaven and earth. It is foreseeable that his future cultivation will be smooth sailing, and even becoming an immortal will not be too difficult.

But everything comes at a price, but this price is only paid when the thought of transcendence arises. Perhaps to transcend, one must sever the karmic ties with this world.

At this point, Feng Bingwen had no intention of transcending the mortal realm; he would be content with attaining immortality. Therefore, he didn't mind taking on more karmic burdens for those who had transcended the mortal realm.

Unfortunately, he could only dream about such a wonderful thing.

"Five Spirits!"

Suppressing his many complicated thoughts, Feng Bingwen's gaze fell on the five spirits beside him. These were the five guardian spirits that heaven and earth had nurtured for him the moment he possessed the innate Dao body.

As for their purpose, Feng Bingwen understood it the moment the Five Spirits were born.

If he does not intervene, these five innate spirits will grow along with his cultivation, their strength will always remain at the same level as his, and they will actively attack any living being that harbors hostility or evil thoughts towards him.

If he wanted to practice, he could easily cultivate these five spirits into external avatars. His divine sense would fall into the five spirits and roam the world. Even if they were destroyed, there would be no need to worry. As long as his Dao body was safe, these five spirits would be immortal and could be reborn after some time.

"Erasing one's spirituality to create an incarnation?"

The thought had barely formed in his mind when Feng Bingwen erased it.

"Shortsighted."

Feng Bingwen examined the Five Spirits. They were born from a vast amount of spiritual essence and had no fixed form. They merely imitated his figure and had an extremely rough human shape, without even facial features.

Not only in terms of physical form, these five spirits have only developed a weak spirituality and possess only the most basic instincts. Apart from that, they do not even have the consciousness to think. Their spirituality is so weak that it is not even as good as the three plant spirits he raised.

However, these five spirits have only been born for less than half an hour. As time goes by, their spirituality will grow wildly, eventually reaching a level that is close to, or even surpasses, that of humans.

Think about it, five primordial spirits with top-notch aptitude, capable of reaching the pinnacle in their respective fields, even with limitations in their realms, can exert a far greater influence than the external avatars controlled by Feng Bingwen's own divided spirit.

Of course, most importantly, these five innate spirits could not betray Feng Bingwen, nor could they even defy his will, because their very existence was based on Feng Bingwen.

As long as Feng Bingwen lives, the Five Spirits will never perish. However, if Feng Bingwen encounters an unexpected calamity and dies, the Five Spirits will disintegrate and return to the world.

"Hmm, how much time has passed?"

Feng Bingwen wanted to continue exploring the wonders of his innate Dao body and also study how to cultivate the five elements that came with him, but he soon thought of something extremely important.

He was forcibly taken away by a Qilin that emerged from the blessed land of Lingshan. No prior arrangements or preparations were made. When he left the Feng family mansion, he left behind only a phantom.

However, without his replenishment, that phantom would only last two or three days before collapsing on its own. At that point, in the eyes of his two elderly relatives, he would have simply disappeared.

He could fully imagine how anxious the two elderly people must have been after he was forcibly abducted at the age of seven and they couldn't find him.

"Let's go back first, then we'll talk about other things."

As soon as the thought settled, a gentle breeze arose from the ground, lifting his figure into the sky. The five spirits instantly transformed into five beams of light, closely following behind Feng Bingwen, never straying even half a step away.

When Feng Bingwen turned his head, he saw, under the influence of his spiritual sense, five-colored spiritual light shining beneath him as if someone were ascending to heaven in broad daylight.

"Too flashy!"

Believing he should keep a low profile, Feng Bingwen reached out and summoned the five spirits, who had initially only taken on human form, into five orbs of light, each carrying a different color of dazzling spiritual light, which then entered his body.

"Hiss~"

With the five elements entering his body, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but take a deep breath, because his body felt like it was about to burst from the spiritual energy. The immortal spiritual energy that had been growing even more after breaking through the realm was surging even more fiercely.

Without any deliberate research, Feng Bingwen came up with new uses for the Five Elements: cultivation enhancement, essential for breaking through barriers and advancing in realms, and replenishing spiritual energy in combat... truly, they have endless uses.

In a sense, the Five Spirits are like five exceptionally talented geniuses who are forever loyal to him and act according to his will. Apart from being able to remain at the same level as him, everything else about them is perfect.

Of course, now is not the time to lament these things. At this moment, Feng Bingwen only wants to go home. In this world, only that place can bring him peace of mind.

However, he was now in a completely unfamiliar place, and he didn't know where the young man in blue had moved him, but he figured it wouldn't be too outrageous.

Soon, Feng Bingwen, flying through the air, found himself above a bustling city. Looking at this human city, Feng Bingwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingyang Prefecture

He recognized this large city. If he remembered correctly, it was a prefecture city in Yunze Prefecture. In other words, he had been thrown into the neighborhood next to his hometown by that young man in blue.

After glancing at the great city, Feng Bingwen confirmed his location, determined the direction, and prepared to ride the wind away.

But just as he turned around, a magnificent golden divine light rose from the densely populated city behind him, landing not far behind Feng Bingwen and transforming into a majestic god.

"Young Master Feng, it's been a while since we last met."

The City God, radiating divine light and exuding a powerful aura, cupped his hands and smiled at the figure who was about to turn and leave.

"I have met the City God of Qingyang."

Since the host had come out on his own initiative, Feng Bingwen had no choice but to restrain himself, turn around and return the greeting. He recognized this City God; he was one of the hundred City Gods who had been invited by the Medicine King to a banquet at the Medicine King's Blessed Land.

"Young Master Feng, what brings you here? Why do you refuse to enter my territory once you've arrived? Do you perhaps find it distasteful?"

"Your Majesty, please don't joke. I just realized that I've been away from home for too long and am about to return."

Feng Bingwen responded in this way.

He glanced at the large city below and knew that he had been missing for quite some time, because Yunze Prefecture was the continent that was hit by the Dragon King's flood, and Qingyang Prefecture was also among the cities affected by the disaster.

But now, this great city shows no trace of the flood's devastation. The city's order has long since returned to what it was before the Dragon King left the city. Although there are fewer people, the vibrant and upward-moving energy within it cannot be hidden.

"I see. It was I who was wrong."

Upon hearing this, the city god seemed to be deep in thought, and at the same time, he did not forget to apologize to Feng Bingwen.

The child before us was carried away by a Qilin, and now his reappearance carries a completely different meaning. Regardless of whether he is a reincarnation of a sage, his future achievements are destined to be extraordinary, making him no longer an ordinary person.

"It's nothing, but since the City God has stopped me, I'd like to ask how much time has passed since the day of the Medicine King's banquet?"

"Not long, less than two months, only fifty days!"

The City God replied that, in the eyes of a deity whose lifespan is measured in centuries, this amount of time is truly insignificant and fleeting.

"So long?"

Feng Bingwen's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer contain himself. He bowed to the City God and apologized.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I must take my leave now. I have been away from home for a long time and have only just returned today. I must let my elders at home know that I am safe and sound."

After speaking, Feng Bingwen did not wait for a response. Suddenly, the swirling wind turned into a fierce gale and headed towards the direction of Qingshan County.

The City God looked at Feng Bingwen's disappearing figure with some confusion.

"How could he be so concerned about the elderly in his family? Has this reincarnated sage not yet awakened his innate wisdom? Or have I underestimated the virtue of a sage? To treat the parents and elders of this body as one's own to provide for them? This is not right!"

This City God was somewhat puzzled, but also quite gratified, because no matter what, filial piety is the most important virtue.

Even though he didn't understand the background of this young master from the Feng family, it didn't stop the City God from giving him a positive evaluation and developing a great liking for him.

At this moment, Feng Bingwen, who was rushing home in a hurry, was naturally unaware that his anxious words and actions had won the favor of a great god. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care at this time.

However, when Feng Bingwen rushed back to the small village next to Qingshan County before sunset, he found that the scene he had imagined—his family heartbroken and distraught because of his disappearance again—did not happen.

Because, in that Feng family mansion, there was a child who looked exactly like him practicing calligraphy.
