"How pathetic!"
A soft sigh echoed through this ancient land, followed by a voice carrying the weight of time and history in response.
"It is truly tragic that the world has lost another old friend, who will never be seen again!"
"I'm lamenting my own lack of courage!"
What do you mean?
A question rang out, tinged with doubt, but received no response, because they were simply not on the same level.
Similar inquiries and conversations echoed throughout the land, even touching the Kunpeng in the North Sea, though it remained silent without making a sound.
Because the Supreme Dao Transformation, who possessed innate divine and demonic roots, returned all of his second-life cultivation to heaven and earth, the resulting fluctuations and commotions were like a raging storm to certain beings, making it difficult to ignore.
loubiqu.
However, even when they were awakened and forced to revive from their endless slumber, none of them had any bad thoughts or did anything unnecessary.
Even though that supreme being had transcended the Dao, he was not without the power to resist. On the contrary, he was unleashing the power of his life without any scruples. Few beings in this world could withstand his final blow, let alone the fact that he was not alone.
At this moment, Feng Bingwen, who was in a secluded paradise, looked up and silently observed. Beside him, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, dazzling and beautiful, but they could not attract his attention in the slightest.
He looked up and saw layers of golden ripples in the sky, from which Dao essence was spreading. For cultivators, this was a rare opportunity, but few could have such good fortune. Feng Bingwen happened to be there today.
He was unaware of the ripples these golden Dao patterns had caused in the world after penetrating the boundary of this secluded paradise. Even if he had known, he probably wouldn't have cared, as these were far too advanced for him at this moment.
The young Taoist focused on the present moment. He sat cross-legged in the peach blossom grove and began to comprehend the Taoist essence permeating the Pure Land amidst the colorful and dazzling peach blossoms falling like rain.
As he pondered the mystery, he felt his cultivation level rising at an extremely steady pace. A thought of needless worry flashed through his mind—his cultivation level was rising so rapidly that he might be forced to undergo the Human Immortal Tribulation before he could receive the opportunity arranged by the Heavenly Book.
However, such worries are unnecessary, because he has only formed his Golden Core not long ago, less than a year ago. Although he has gained a lot of benefits in the battles against the younger generation of the demon race, he is still quite far from transcending the tribulation.
Unless he can directly obtain a heaven-defying opportunity, his step-by-step cultivation will likely require several years of accumulation before he can perfect this realm and then break through the tribulation to become an immortal.
But things are unpredictable. Feng Bingwen had never considered what kind of terrifying power the supreme being standing at the top of heaven and earth possessed, because that was not a question he needed to think about. However, at this moment, Feng Bingwen had caught a glimpse of it.
Because the Supreme Dao Transformation, whose mere appearance commanded the submission of all directions and extinguished the clouds of the ten directions, maintained itself for a full seven days and seven nights. Only after an extremely long period, which even gave Feng Bingwen the illusion that everything would continue, did that terrifying fluctuation gradually subside, and everything returned to calm.
"His cultivation level has increased rather quickly!"
Feng Bingwen felt the surging blood and qi in his strong body, and the surging magical power in his dantian that made his body feel bloated. A sense of satisfaction rose in his heart, and he sighed somewhat ungratefully.
At this moment, he had almost perfected the cultivation of the Yuan Dan realm, and was only one step away from transcending the tribulation and becoming an immortal. All of this was because he had gained a lot of insights during the process of that Supreme Being's transformation into the Dao.
Although it was not even a drop in the ocean of that supreme being's power, it was enough for Feng Bingwen.
"They should recruit me, right?"
Feng Bingwen emerged from his meditative state and gazed at the seven-colored divine mountain in the distance, which was gradually returning to normal. This thought popped into his mind.
The moment this thought crossed his mind, it came true. Everything before his eyes shifted and changed. When things returned to normal, the familiar thatched cottage and gourd vines came into view, along with the ever-present young man in blue.
However, apart from the young man in blue, there were four other divine beings who also remained on the mountaintop and did not leave. They were watching Feng Bingwen, who had been moved here, with different expressions in their eyes. Of course, the little Yuan Dan cultivator could not notice these.
"The innate primordial energy left behind by my elder brother is contained within. If you have thought it through, you can go and receive it in this body."
The young man in blue robes remained remarkably calm. He stood up and pointed to the seemingly ordinary gourd vine. Feng Bingwen looked over, and everything before him was now completely different.
The gourd vine, seemingly half-withered and half-flourishing, stretched across the sky like a powerful celestial dragon soaring through the air. Its outstretched emerald green gourd leaves were now flowing with an unbelievably surging celestial essence, radiating a dazzling divine brilliance.
Beneath the gourd vine, seven half-split gourds hang, each with a magnificent and extraordinary appearance. The fifth gourd is a split gourd that exudes five-colored energy, but the energy emanating from it is the weakest.
The most radiant and dazzling light, however, came from a golden gourd that seemed to have been forged from celestial gold. Its divine brilliance shone brightly, and it manifested nine dragons and nine tigers, chasing and running endlessly.
If you listen closely, you can indeed hear the sounds of tigers roaring and dragons howling, as if heavenly dragons and tigers were actually descending upon it, playing and frolicking.
"I've made up my mind!"
Feng Bingwen had no hesitation at this moment and nodded directly. At the same moment he agreed, the flame on the Heavenly Book went out.
Without even looking, Feng Bingwen knew that his good deeds and bad deeds had been almost completely wiped out. This was always the case, without exception. In fact, he was too lazy to look at the actual result, because the gourd that seemed to be forged from immortal gold had now cracked open and was calling out to him. Of course, this was just his illusion.
However, the result was the same. Feng Bingwen leaped up and flew towards the crack in the gourd. The closer he got to the gourd, the smaller his body became.
When he approached the gourd, his body was as small as a mosquito compared to the gourd. He fell into the crack and into the gourd's belly, and then the gourd's crack healed.
Roar~
The dragon and tiger that swirled around the golden gourd roared, their cries echoing throughout the mountain. The five divine beings atop the mountain watched this scene silently until, after a long while, one of the scorching sun-like deities finally inquired.
"After the elder brother successfully reincarnates, will he be guided by this child?"
"Yes! I'll take him as my master and use that title to enter the Supreme Dao!"
"Ha, when we roamed the world freely, we never imagined that we would have to face this matter!"
"What? You're not convinced? If you think it's not right, you can personally go and receive your elder brother's reincarnation, and then show him a path to transcendence!"
"Second brother, stop joking. If third brother had such abilities, he wouldn't be here complaining and grumbling!"
"You may all step back. I will take care of everything for my elder brother!"
"Second brother, we trust you to get things done, but could you please arrange a better background for eldest brother? We can't let him end up like fifth sister!"
The Goddess of the Moon spoke at this moment.
She couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. She had just witnessed what the reincarnation of her fifth sister was doing. It was hard to imagine what a remarkable and talented person that sister was, yet now she was leading two spirit beasts, frolicking around everywhere. It was a stark contrast to the goddess she remembered, and it felt very unreal.
"I have my own plans for this!"
The young man in blue responded, but the other four divine beings were not buying it and stared at him intently.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be arranged by this second brother if they are reincarnated in the future. They cannot accept becoming a country bumpkin like their fifth sister. It would be too embarrassing. If their true spirits are revived in the future and they recall everything, it would definitely be a dark history.
"Don't worry, my elder brother will definitely be born into a great family, but his talent will be somewhat ordinary and he won't be outstanding!"
Feeling the gazes of his younger siblings, the blue-robed deity had no choice but to promise that he would not make the same mistake again.
However, he would never admit that there was anything wrong with the reincarnation of the fifth sister. Washing away the glamour and abandoning everything, isn't that exactly what they pursued? Being ordinary and plain is what they need.
At this moment, inside the Immortal Gourd, Feng Bingwen was undergoing an unprecedented baptism, once again experiencing what extreme pain meant. What he had endured before was merely a small rehearsal, and was not comparable to what he was experiencing now.
When he received the innate five elements of primordial energy, he felt comfortable and at ease, just like an infant in the womb, where everything was naturally and effortlessly nurtured.
But what he felt at this moment was tearing, shattering, merging, regenerating, and reshaping. It was a process that was constantly repeating itself, over and over again, as if there was no end.
Feng Bingwen felt that he was the most evil person in the world, sentenced to the eighteenth level of hell, but even the tortures in hell could not compare to the suffering he was going through.
Because not only his body, but also his soul was being obliterated and reshaped, leaving no inch of him untouched, from the outside in.
But what's most outrageous is that even with such intense pain, his mental consciousness became increasingly clear. Even though his soul light was being worn away and damaged, he was still able to maintain complete logical thinking. The idea of him falling into a coma was out of the question.
Feng Bingwen didn't know how all of this was achieved. He was now being forced to accept a, or rather a, innate scripture, which was also composed of innate Daoist texts, but which focused on his own physique.
Amidst escalating agony, Feng Bingwen, forced to maintain a conscious mind, could only shift all his attention to half of the innate scripture. However, he could not ignore the pain and could only experience a bittersweet experience.
During this process, Feng Bingwen began to ignore the passage of time. He no longer had the energy to pay attention to it, saying that everything he had experienced was heavy enough.
He didn't know how much time had passed, perhaps a day or a year. Feng Bingwen, who had completely lost his sense of time, suddenly felt the pain of being tormented and shattered, then regenerated and reshaped, had faded away. What followed was a wave of comfort.
Bang!
The sound of the drums, seemingly made from the hide of an ancient Kui ox, was thunderous. When the drums sounded, it was as if thousands of thunderbolts fell from the sky and then exploded all at once. However, this was not the Kui ox war drum, but the heartbeat of a living being.
"Is this my current physique?"
Having experienced too much and been forced to endure too much pain, Feng Bingwen felt his heavy and slow heartbeat, and felt the vigorous blood flowing through his limbs. He even had the illusion that he could split this world in two with a single punch.
Of course, this may not be a misperception, but he probably can't do it now. However, after enough time has passed and he has fully explored the potential contained in his current physique, he may be able to do it.
"That's great!"
Feng Bingwen sighed, and then, as he was immersed in the darkness and nothingness, as if he were on the eve of the creation of the world, a light appeared before his eyes.
The moment the light shone on him, Feng Bingwen took a step towards it without hesitation, and then he returned to that familiar mountain peak.
Bathed in the bright sunshine and breathing in the air rich with spiritual energy, Feng Bingwen even felt like he was being reborn. In fact, it was almost like that; he was no different from a completely different person now.
Originally, he only possessed the innate five elements of primordial energy, and his appearance was handsome and elegant, but his temperament was somewhat androgynous. However, now he was full of masculine energy and had lost all his elegant temperament.
He stood there, possessing a resemblance to the previous supreme being. His black hair cascaded down to his waist, his bare body shone with an immortal radiance, and his powerful blood and energy caused the clouds surrounding the sacred mountain to begin to dissipate.
"It withstood it!"
The young man in blue scrutinized Feng Bingwen, a fleeting look of surprise in his eyes. The scene before him was somewhat unexpected. Although he had calculated that it was feasible, he still felt it was unreasonable and too outrageous.
It feels like accidentally solving a puzzle and getting the right answer, but being a little confused about the process.
"Hmm, not bad!"
Although he felt surprised, as an ancient being, he wouldn't show it in front of the young human. He examined him with a calm gaze, nodded slightly in approval, and then made a new request.
"You shall remain here in quiet meditation for three months, and then go to find my elder brother's reincarnation and protect him on his path!"
"March!"
Feng Bingwen was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant and quickly asked,
How long did it take me to transform?
