Transcendence was not something Feng Bingwen particularly desired. Although it would be relatively easier for him to embark on the path of transcendence compared to the group of innate beings, it was still only relatively easy. In reality, the difficulty was still ridiculously high.
The number of beings who can truly transcend to the state of great freedom and ease, like the Supreme Daoist Master, is beyond description.
From the moment of birth, a cultivator lives within the universe, breathing in and out the energy of heaven and earth. The essence of the sun and moon absorbed through cultivation is also the finest of heaven and earth. Having taken so much from heaven and earth, how can one easily transcend it?
To completely break free from the cycle of karma, one must repay the debts owed to the heavens and earth; otherwise, the entanglement will continue indefinitely, with no hope of ever ending it.
In order to transcend worldly desires, the Supreme Daoist Master created thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands to protect this world and defend against calamities from the void.
Thus, this Daoist master was able to successfully transcend.
Even with such successful examples before us, many who tried to imitate them ultimately failed. The cause and effect within the universe is easy to talk about, but extremely difficult to achieve in practice.
After all, how can one repay the karmic debts incurred by heaven and earth when living in the world? Everything we take, use, breathe, and exhale are products of heaven and earth. To think that we can repay the karmic debts we have incurred by heaven and earth by simply taking things produced by heaven and earth and playing with them is wishful thinking!
Only by acquiring things produced outside of heaven and earth, within the chaos, can one repay karma and end everything. However, for those who are confined within heaven and earth, this is far too difficult.
To some extent, this can even be described as an unsolvable deadlock. For those beings who have innate advantages, there is no possibility of untying this deadlock, because all their power is bestowed by heaven and earth, not obtained through their own cultivation.
No matter what you do with this divinely bestowed power, you cannot sever the karmic ties. Only with great determination and perseverance, by completely abandoning this power and starting anew, is there a sliver of possibility for transcendence. However, most of the time, one's true spirit remains obscured in the cycle of reincarnation.
After just a quick look and a little contact, Feng Bingwen felt that there was no need to create so much trouble and discomfort for himself. Enjoying the present moment seemed quite nice. Otherwise, what was the point of his hard work in seeking opportunities? Was it just for the sake of cultivation?
"Even if you transcend and truly attain great freedom and ease, what then? To walk alone in the darkness and nothingness is far too boring!"
Feng Bingwen recalled the dark void he had previously touched and looked up at, but after thinking about the boundless darkness for a moment, he lost interest.
Perhaps after cultivating to a certain level, one can simply take a step to cross the boundless darkness and instantly arrive at any source of life that one desires.

But so what? He is still just a celestial being, possessing a climbing vine that allows him to travel to other realms and see different worlds and landscapes.
Thus, Feng Bingwen had no particular attachment or pursuit of transcendence. His family was all here, and he had no interest in venturing into the void.
"Lord Feng, would you now be willing to condescend to meet me?"
The half-withered, half-flourishing gourd vine flashed before my eyes, and a completely different feeling arose. A young man in blue robes with a serene face sat upright.
"nature!"
Upon sensing the source of this power, Feng Bingwen's expression turned solemn, and he immediately agreed.
Today, he is no longer the naive and weak newbie who could be easily pulled into dreams. Now, even if someone communicates with him, he can follow the force that actively touches him and find the location of their true form.
Of course, it was also because that ancient being did not conceal itself too much; otherwise, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for him, since there was still a considerable distance between him and that being.
Following the traces left by the other party, Feng Bingwen himself entered an exceptionally vast cave and immediately found the core of this cave, which was the innate spiritual root, the Seven Treasures Gourd Vine.
"Feng Xianjun, what do you think of this gourd vine?"
A gentle voice rang in his ears. Feng Bingwen turned his head and saw the young man in blue robes who he remembered most often sitting on the bluestone on the mountaintop appear beside him. His appearance was exactly the same as before, without the slightest change. Time could not leave any trace on such a person.
"Not bad!"
The gourd vine that Feng Bingwen saw at this moment was naturally different from the ones he had seen before.
Because his realm has changed, he used to only be able to see the surface, but now he can see part of the essence of this innate spiritual root. He sees the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and even more so, the traces of the evolution of chaos.
"How about we entrust this gourd vine to the Immortal Lord for care from now on?"
"Um?"
Hearing these abrupt words, Feng Bingwen was slightly taken aback. Looking at the very familiar young man in blue before him, he was immediately puzzled.
"Second Brother means to give me this innate spiritual root. And why are you being so polite, Second Brother? I've only just become a Celestial Immortal. I'm still quite a distance from you, Second Brother!"
"Celestial Immortals? Throughout history, how many Celestial Immortals has your human race produced? To be among them proves that my divination back then was not wrong, and my choice was correct!"
The young man in blue stared at Feng Bingwen and smiled. The world he saw was naturally closer to reality than what Feng Bingwen could see. It was precisely because of this that he could see more, especially the Daoist aura swirling around Feng Bingwen, which was an aura from beyond heaven and earth.
"As for this spiritual root, you can take it now without any problem!"
"You don't want it anymore?"
Feng Bingwen asked with considerable surprise, "No matter what, this is still a primordial spiritual root, and this spiritual root is extremely extraordinary, as it carries the remains of seven primordial beings."
"This gourd vine is of no use to us anymore. Its only use is probably to deliver it to you, so that you can become our master and disciple!"
"Is Second Brother preparing to be reincarnated?"
Feng Bingwen understood in an instant.
"Indeed, I'll have to trouble Immortal Feng to take care of me from now on!"
"That's natural. I have taken on your karma, so I should protect you after you are reincarnated."
Feng Bingwen understood and nodded. Having received the benefits, he naturally had to do the work.
"No matter what, I have never mistreated Feng Xianjun, and I hope that Xianjun will not mistreat me in the future!"
