Feng Bingwen had once seen the Kunpeng in the North Sea from afar. Its enormous body, which could stir up the vast ocean and cause the four seas to tremble with just a turn of its body, reminded him of the innate gods and demons recorded in ancient books.
Kunpeng's performance perfectly matched the impression that the innate gods and demons gave to later generations. At this moment, Feng Bingwen was looking into the distance at a colossal beast whose outline was faintly visible under the black mist.
A faint feeling arose in his heart that even the Kunpeng was probably inferior to him, and that innate gods and demons were far from enough to describe this monster that could roam the void.
"Kid, calm down, this is nothing!"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's words, Wu Xing Tian Lun remained remarkably calm, subtly revealing the pride of a senior figure.
Have you experienced something similar?
Feng Bingwen reacted quickly. He knew how composed the old man was. Unless he had experienced something similar, he would have been yelling and screaming long ago. How could he be so calm?
"That's right!"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel readily admitted that this was a glorious achievement worthy of boasting.
"Then everything is fine!"
Feng Bingwen looked up at the myriad stars in the heavens, which even the light of the sun was obscured. With his eyesight, he could vaguely see some Daoist figures sitting on some of the stars, but there were also some stars that, apart from shining brightly, had no figures appearing.
The obvious result was that the Supreme Dao's true power had not been fully revealed; only the tip of the iceberg had been shown. He already knew that since its founding, the Supreme Dao had continuously accumulated wealth, and the number of immortals who had survived to this day surpassed even the legacy of the Supreme Dao Venerable. The blessed lands and grotto-heavens left behind by that Supreme Dao Venerable were simply not enough to go around.
"Kid, don't be fooled by that beast's intimidating size. It's actually fighting against our heavens and earth. The fact that it can even move is a testament to its strength. It will be suppressed soon, and the outcome will be decided!"
"Since I'm so easily suppressed, why did the Dao Lord drive me out of the mountain to avoid disaster in the first place?"
Feng Bingwen frowned. He thought he could take this opportunity to accumulate a huge amount of good deeds, but this extraterrestrial creature, which was even more terrifying than the Kunpeng in the North Sea, was about to be suppressed. What else was there to say?
"It's not that simple. Suppression only renders it immobile. Look at the power it actively releases and the pollution it has caused to our world. If it pollutes enough, it can gain the approval of the will of Heaven and become active again!"
"This Heavenly Dao's will is too stupid!"
Feng Bingwen couldn't help but make a comment.
"I've already told you, the will of Heaven is the will of all living beings in the world, and you have a share in it too."
"Tsk!"
Feng Bingwen remained silent. As a cultivator, he knew that the Heavenly Dao was supreme and ruthless, and similarly, it had no subjective intentions or thoughts.
"So, for those great immortals above, their appearance signifies that the overall situation is settled. But for a little guy like you, everything is just beginning. Don't you want to accumulate merit? Go ahead and show your skills. If you kill enough, you might even gain divine favor!"
"I feel like I'm blessed by heaven!"
Upon hearing the familiar words, Feng Bingwen raised an eyebrow and said somewhat uncertainly.
"You brat, where did you get this divine favor from?"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel was somewhat surprised.
"I was lucky; I went to a void and retrieved a remnant of a realm!"
Feng Bingwen said in a nonchalant tone.
"Did you salvage that godforsaken paradise from beyond the realm?"
This magical artifact is quite surprising.
"How dare you talk like that? What do you mean by 'not even a bird's nest'?"
Feng Bingwen was displeased. The atmosphere of his blessed land was now completely different from before, a brand new look. This was all thanks to the little Kunpeng. The blood she released was truly a treasure, turning decay into magic.
"Hey, so many old men would kill for this opportunity, and you, a mere brat, have stumbled upon it and turned it into a blessed land. What a waste!"
The magical artifacts were full of disdain.
"How is turning this place into a blessed land a waste? Explain yourself!"
"It's alright to tell this little brat."
"I'm all ears!"
"Do you know what we cultivators, who have reached the level of Dao Lord, are pursuing?"
"If you can tell me, then tell me; if you can't, then don't. Stop keeping me in suspense!"
Feng Bingwen rolled his eyes. If he knew, would he still be here asking for advice like a grandson? Well, considering the age of this immortal artifact, calling him a grandson would be an understatement.
"Severing cause and effect, when one cultivates to a high level, one must sever the cause and effect between oneself and all things in the world. The most important thing is to sever the cause and effect between oneself and the world. Only in this way can one attain great freedom and great liberation!"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel revealed to Feng Bingwen the secrets of his realm that he should not have known.
As a spiritual artifact fulfilling its duty as a protector, it shouldn't have revealed these secret texts; in fact, it was overstepping its bounds. However, this kid was just too reckless, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
It's one thing to cause trouble, but to also create karma with those old fogies? How will this karma be severed someday in the future? Isn't this delaying your path to enlightenment?
"Sever all ties with heaven and earth!"
Feng Bingwen seemed to be deep in thought. If the prerequisite for transcendence is this, it's no wonder that all those big shots with innate divine or demonic backgrounds are just envious and trapped in one place.
Everything that innate gods and demons possess is given by heaven and earth. If they were to sever the cause and effect, they would simply destroy themselves, and what kind of carefree life would they have?
"I see!"
"What have you figured out, you brat!"
Seeing Feng Bingwen's unmoved and calm face, Wu Xing Tian Lun knew that this guy had not understood the original meaning behind his words.
"Just speak properly, why are you cursing at me?"
Feng Bingwen curled his lip.
"Don't you understand, kid? No matter how broken that remnant world you obtained from beyond the realm is, it is ultimately not a product of our world and has no causal relationship with our world. It represents a glimmer of possibility for transcendence, but you dragged it in and refined it into your blessed land, establishing a connection with our world and becoming entangled in karma."
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel looked heartbroken, its words clearly accusing a wasteful spendthrift.
"oh!"
Even after being lectured at length, Feng Bingwen remained unmoved.
"You're wasting things!"
"I have no intention of transcending this, so what's the point of talking about ruining it!"
Feng Bingwen waved his hand and said something that would make even the most supreme beings furious enough to vomit blood.
"With your current meager cultivation level, don't even talk about transcendence. Wait until you possess the strength of a Dao Lord before you tell me if you'll regret it!"
Not seeing Feng Bingwen's regretful and tearful appearance was a great disappointment to Wu Xing Tian Lun. This was different from what he had expected. The boy's performance disappointed him greatly; he was too calm, so calm that he wanted to teach him a lesson.
The exchange between a Taoist and a celestial artifact, though complex in content, lasted only a moment.
At this moment, the great stars in the sky, which represent the number of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, shone brightly and brilliantly. Chains of divine order descended from the stars, intertwined, and stretched across the heavens and earth, evolving into a celestial net. They then covered the sky and directly enveloped the giant beast whose aura was so powerful that even innate gods and demons could hardly match it.
roar!
A purple light, as sharp as lightning, flickered in and out of the black mist. It was the power flowing from the colossal beast's massive body, which was large enough to support the sky. However, this power, which was enough to shake the heavens and the earth, was now completely suppressed and could not be released. It could only make the monster from beyond the realm let out a low roar full of anger.
But with just a single roar, a terrifying scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart was created. On the mountain gate continent, the magnificent mountains collapsed one after another, the earth veins broke, and faint, mournful cries echoed one after another.
When this force reaches the ocean, it stirs up towering waves thousands of feet high, like a sky curtain connecting heaven and earth, seemingly about to topple the entire ocean.
However, with a low roar, a giant turtle entwined by a giant snake emerged from the depths of the ocean. Its appearance instantly calmed the Taishangdao Sea, and the aquatic creatures corrupted by the black energy quickly went into hiding, no longer daring to cause trouble.
"Black Tortoise!"
As he watched the creature that brought peace to the four seas upon its appearance, Feng Bingwen silently murmured to himself. This mythical creature merely suppressed the seas, its gentle black eyes fixed on the colossal beast on the continent without making any further moves. Even the giant snake coiled around its shell remained indifferent and ruthless, without taking any further action.
"The Four Spirits of Heaven!"
Taishang Daozi pondered that the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise all held extraordinary significance for the human race, and were not simply divine beasts.
"Is this the Xuanwu that helped humanity in ancient times?"
It's no wonder Feng Bingwen would have such a guess, even though Xuanwu didn't make any extra moves this time, and even just stood by as a spectator.
However, his physique, the power he exuded, and the undeniable sense of age and vicissitude on his body all silently told the story of his origins.
Even if it's not the Xuanwu from ancient times, it must be a descendant or something similar, so the relationship must be quite close. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why it would appear in the gate of the Supreme Dao.
Of course, Xuanwu and such could be explored later. Feng Bingwen's attention returned to the giant beast that stood proudly.
After the net was cast, the giant beast let out a low growl, causing boundless turmoil, and then showed no further reaction. It stood quietly in place, seemingly suppressed.
At this moment, the black aura around it thinned out, revealing part of its true form. Even from a great distance, Feng Bingwen could estimate, based on comparisons with some of the surrounding mountains that had not yet collapsed, that this monster was probably tens of thousands of feet tall, which was quite unbelievable.
The key is its appearance. It is completely different from the twisted monsters born from his dissipated power. Its appearance can even be described as conventional.
Its body, so strong it was almost bloated, exuded explosive power. It was covered in purple runes and had thick, scale-like skin. On its back, there were huge, mountain-like thorns that stretched all the way to a massive, long tail that trailed behind it for thousands of feet.
After witnessing the bizarre and twisted creatures born from his power, Feng Bingwen was even somewhat disappointed by the appearance of the source of his power, because it looked quite ordinary and had nothing to do with the indescribable.
Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Roar! Roar!
Aww!
After a brief moment of calm, the roars and howls of various monsters rose and fell in waves. The wind runes in their eyes, which contained supernatural powers, showed that right beneath the giant beast's feet, amidst the surging black mist, all sorts of ferocious and brutal monsters swarmed out and rushed in all directions.
"Young man, your opportunity has arrived, but if you want to seize it, you'll probably have to take some risks. It all depends on whether you dare to take the plunge. If you do, this old man will give you a ride!"
Feng Bingwen could see the changes, and the spirit artifact guarding him naturally saw the celestial light emanating from him intensify as well. Some of them began to openly urge Feng Bingwen on, appearing quite eager.
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Feng Bingwen's eyes lit up. Through the old man's explanation, he vaguely understood that the giant beast's power was insufficient to fight against heaven and earth, so it could only adopt a gentle and moderate approach to consume its own power and forcibly assimilate and shape a group of followers who would obey it.
If the quantity reaches a certain level, it will no longer be suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth and can move freely.
The problem now is that this behemoth is not recognized by the laws of heaven and earth. The monsters that have been corrupted and created by its power are classified as extraterrestrial demons in the judgment of the will of heaven and earth.
Therefore, when Feng Bingwen slays the monster and purifies the black energy, good deeds will be bestowed upon him, rewarding his actions and encouraging him to continue his efforts.
"Good! You've got some guts, kid. Go ahead and kill. I'll cover for you!"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel also showed great excitement. After obtaining Feng Bingwen's consent, it burst forth with boundless immortal light, which fell upon him and forcibly tore through the void. With a flash of light, it brought him down to Luzhou.
"This is... my mountain gate?"
"nature."
The thin black mist drifted by, and the spiritual energy actively flowed into his body, but none of this attracted Feng Bingwen's attention. He looked at the scene before him in shock.
He had prepared himself to witness the destruction of mountains and rivers, and the wailing of all living beings, but what he saw was quite the opposite: purple exotic flowers bloomed all over the mountains and fields, and trees with a metallic luster were drawing power from the earth's veins and stretching their branches.
"This monster is reshaping the world!"
Feng Bingwen suddenly looked up. The monster, suppressed by the net of divine chains of order, was unable to move, like a pillar supporting the sky. However, the power emanating from it, while causing endless destruction and slaughter, also gave new life to all things.
"You little rascal, you're too naive. This kind of monster forces the environment to adapt to it!"
