Five-colored auspicious energy surged, and the oppressive aura of a true immortal descended upon the land. In the blessed land, hundreds of city gods, along with a newly appointed Medicine King, all looked up at the auspicious beast that tore through the sky of the blessed land, radiating endless divine light and crystal clear throughout its body. Their reactions were a mix of shock, astonishment, and confusion.
None of the great gods present had ever seen the mythical beast that belonged only to legends, but when they looked up at the being in the sky, they naturally understood its identity.
Qilin!
The auspicious multicolored energy that filled the blessed land, along with the oppressive aura that even the City God felt, confirmed the identity of the auspicious beast above their heads, which was not particularly large or majestic.
Amidst the increasingly complex gazes of the many great gods, they all watched as this Qilin, which had torn apart the sky and was draped in five colors, descended step by step from the air and stood before Feng Bingwen, who had just been vehemently denying that he was not a reincarnated sage.
This is undoubtedly an auspicious beast. Just by standing there, it exudes a five-colored divine radiance. The blessed land and spiritual soil that the Medicine King had painstakingly cultivated was sublimated by this auspicious energy.
"And you still say you're not a reincarnation of a saint?"
Although none of the great gods spoke at this moment, Feng Bingwen could read the meaning they wanted to express from their eyes, but he didn't have the energy to care about what they were thinking.
Even now, the Heavenly Book has not given any hints, but Feng Bingwen is absolutely certain that the Qilin in front of him is the key to his Immortal Foundation Establishment.
At this moment, Feng Bingwen was somewhat at a loss, because the Qilin in front of him gave him a similar feeling to the Dragon Lord who had already transformed into a true dragon. Even if there was a difference, it wasn't significant.
Faced with such a terrifying existence, doing anything seemed superfluous. But soon, Feng Bingwen understood what he should do.
Because this Qilin, which was only a little over a person tall, actually knelt slightly in front of him, its back covered with crystal-clear scales, which was displayed before his eyes, silently reminding him what to do.
Ride on!
Feng Bingwen's breathing became rapid. He never dreamed that such an outrageous thing would happen when he prayed to the Heavenly Book.
He could sense that the City Gods, who had been invited by the Medicine King, were now looking at him in a completely different way.
When the Qilin appears, a sage will emerge.
Since ancient times, those who have been accompanied by the auspicious beast Qilin have invariably been sages and wise men.
For a moment, Feng Bingwen hesitated, unsure whether he should mount the Qilin. This was not only due to the terrifying pressure emanating from the Qilin, but more importantly, the significance of sitting on its back.
But soon, Feng Bingwen stopped hesitating, because the five-colored Qilin turned its head and stared at him with its gentle eyes, which were as graceful and noble as those of a real dragon.
The king of all spirits, the supreme ruler of all beasts!
However, when Feng Bingwen looked into the eyes of this Qilin that was comparable to a true immortal, he did not feel any overwhelming pressure. Instead, he felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, and his heart was filled with peace and tranquility. He couldn't help but want to get closer.
"Come on up!"
Since they had taken the initiative to invite him, Feng Bingwen naturally had no reason to hesitate. Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of divine city gods, he took two steps to the side of the Qilin, then used both his hands and feet to climb onto the Qilin's back and straddle it.
The moment he settled down, the Qilin, which had been slightly bent over, straightened up. With a sway, Feng Bingwen subconsciously leaned on the Qilin's back, feeling very comfortable, even giving him the illusion that his whole being was about to be elevated.
No, it wasn't an illusion. Lying on the back of the Qilin, Feng Bingwen found that he was truly glowing, surrounded by auspicious multicolored energy. The filth and impurity he had accumulated in the mortal world were being expelled and purified little by little, and he gradually felt a sense of clarity and purity.
At this moment, Feng Bingwen felt as if he had taken off a shackle that had bound him for many days, and his whole body and mind became light and agile, as if he were floating on air.
Before he could even recover from this unusual sensation, he saw the Qilin beneath him take a step forward, the void collapsed, chaos surged, and five-colored auspicious energy formed a great road, its destination unknown.
Wow!
The next instant, the suddenly appearing Qilin carried Feng Bingwen and disappeared from this blessed land of the Medicine King, just as it had appeared, tearing open another gap in the process.
As the lord of this blessed land, the Medicine King naturally had no objection. It wasn't that he dared not, but rather that he truly had none, since he had not suffered any substantial loss.
The Qilin truly lives up to its auspicious name. Even its seemingly violent actions did not harm the essence of the blessed land. On the contrary, the auspicious aura emanating from it gave the blessed land a faint sign of advancement.
Even if some powerful figures noticed this, no one paid any attention to it anymore. Compared to the appearance of the Qilin, what was this change?
Most importantly, it wasn't just the auspicious sign of the Qilin appearing in the world that made it so special, but also the fact that after the Qilin appeared, it carried away a person right in front of them.
"I knew I wasn't wrong! This young master of the Feng family is truly a sage reincarnated. Look, even a Qilin has appeared!"
"This young master of the Feng family is indeed extraordinary. Back then, Gongyang, the colleague of the City God of Jinhua County, noticed that young master Feng's soul was abnormal. However, even he probably did not expect that young master Feng was a reincarnation of a sage."
"This is not the fault of that great Confucian scholar Gongyang. With such a background, who would have thought of him if it weren't for today's change of heart?"
"I think this young master Feng doesn't even understand his own identity."
"Su Hui has not fully awakened."
After the Qilin disappeared, in this blessed land where the five-colored auspicious energy still lingered, many city gods could not contain their excitement and began to discuss among themselves.
Although they were all virtuous and wise men in life, with vision and demeanor among the best of the human race, that was a Qilin! Not only had they never seen one in their lifetime, but even after they died and became gods for hundreds of years, this was the first time they had ever seen one.
"Gentlemen, let's leave our idle chatter for another time. Now that such a thing has happened, the most urgent task is to report it as soon as possible so that His Majesty may be aware of it."
Before the many city gods could continue their discussion, a city god with a radiant divine aura suddenly spoke.
The atmosphere, which had become lively because of the Qilin's appearance, suddenly froze. Most of the city gods looked at each other, and before they knew it, their faces were shrouded in a layer of divine light, making it impossible to see what they were thinking.
Not every City God was appointed by the current dynasty. Some were remnants of previous dynasties, while others were chosen by the locals for their virtue during their lifetime and were then recognized by the government. Undoubtedly, all City Gods possess excellent character.
When humanity faces great calamities, they are always able to step forward and protect the people. But when such auspicious omens descend upon the world, the thoughts of many city gods are different.
The city gods appointed by the Great Gan Dynasty naturally wanted to inform the court as soon as possible. However, city gods who obtained their divine positions due to the legacy of the previous dynasty or the will of the people generally had no intention of informing the government.
Auspicious omens have descended upon the world!
No one knows what the current prosperous dynasty will do, because the emperor is too controlling.
While the Qilin is known throughout the world as an auspicious creature, it also holds the title of "King of All Spirits"—a title that cannot be bestowed lightly.
"I see that none of you are in the mood for this banquet anymore, Lord Medicine King. I think we should probably call it off."
A city god addressed the Medicine King who was standing to the side.
"It's alright. With such a major event happening, I don't think any of you are in the mood to eat here anymore. Please make yourselves at home!"
The Medicine King was naturally not unhappy. Although he also wanted to get to know the city gods in the surrounding area, they were actually in competition with each other.
"Then please forgive me, Your Excellency Medicine King, I shall take my leave now!"
Immediately, the many city gods could no longer hold back. After apologizing to the Medicine King, they transformed into divine light and departed one after another.
After all the hundred city gods had left, the Medicine King looked at the blessed land where the auspicious aura had faded, the divine light had dissipated, and the spiritual energy had evaporated, and suddenly let out a long sigh.
"well--"
"Grandpa Medicine King, why are you sighing?"
A little sprite with a spiritual flower on its head popped out. As it appeared amidst this beautiful landscape, one after another, the spirits of plants and trees that had previously been protected by Feng Bingwen emerged.
"I've made a terrible mistake. I'm such a blind old man!"
The Medicine King stamped his feet and beat his chest, showing no semblance of the demeanor of a righteous god. His expression was full of regret, leaving all the elves stunned.
"Grandpa Medicine King, what's wrong with you?"
What did you do wrong?
Many elves, curious, asked questions, these innocent and carefree elves still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
"I personally destroyed your chance to attain enlightenment!"
The Medicine King looked at the many spirits before him with a face full of guilt. These little fellows were ignorant, and he couldn't pretend to be confused.
“If I hadn’t been so hasty in summoning you, and had instead waited a little longer, things would certainly not be like this now.”
"What is Grandpa Medicine King saying?"
Some of the plant spirits listened in a daze, not understanding what was going on.
"Ah, I understand now. Grandpa Medicine King thinks he shouldn't have called us from the young master's courtyard here!"
But some spirits, with their keen insight, figured out the reason.
"What's wrong with that?"
“If you follow me, you will only be able to follow the same old path I have taken. At most, I can only appoint you as medicine boys. How can that compare to serving a sage?”
This Medicine King was truly a devoted follower of his kind. When he realized that he had cut off the opportunity for these younger generations of his kind to attain enlightenment, he was filled with remorse. Could it be that he had already entered the path of divinity? At this moment, he was probably already possessed by demons.
"Then why don't we just go back?"
Most of the elves were still confused and hadn't figured out the key point.
"There's no going back. Your chance to attain enlightenment is gone. If you want to resent me in the future, then so be it!"
