The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 32 The Great Luo Mystery, A Moral Exemplar!

I am Feng Xi!

He's a very prestigious time traveler!

Having transmigrated to the present day, he has lived in the prehistoric world for only a thousand or eight hundred years, and now he drives a luxury car with a priceless treasure in it—an innate spiritual treasure!

What did I, Fengxi, sacrifice to achieve all this? What efforts and struggles did I put in?

nothing!

As the chosen one of the new generation, I only had to play a minor role, yet I already have a car and a magical treasure... So answer me loudly—am I amazing or not?

"When you're driving, keep a steady hand." A deep, suppressed voice suddenly rang out. "Don't drive like you've had too much to drink... It's fine if you speed, but don't swerve recklessly."

"Didn't you see how pale the soldiers who were being carried along and were in charge of the ceremonial procession were?"

"The high-speed spacetime shifts that Da Luo is used to are something they can't adapt to!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." Feng Xi nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand!"

"Suddenly equipped with such powerful performance, I'm just a little unaccustomed to it, and the handling is a bit unstable..."

"Then you should familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible... Don't do what you did just now, almost crashing into the mountain." Dijiang Zuwu closed his eyes.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, there won't be any more problems," Feng Xi assured him confidently.

Perhaps he truly has a talent for this; even though he had only been using the Great Luo-class power system for a short time, he quickly stabilized and became a qualified driver.

—Okay, it seems something has been revealed.

Although Feng Xi drives a luxury car and has innate spiritual treasures in it, none of these belong to him.

He was just a driver, responsible for driving for the Ancestral Witch.

Essentially, Fengxi is still very poor.

However, Feng Xi may be poor... but from today onwards, he can proudly say—

"I'm a shaman who's seen the world!"

To be able to observe a top-grade innate spiritual treasure up close, and even use it personally, is an incredibly precious experience. Countless Taiyi cultivators would envy and resent it if word got out.

Most importantly, Feng Xi doesn't have the problem of mastering the refining process that ordinary cultivators encounter—with Di Jiang's permission and the mark left by the Ancestral Witch, during his time as the driver, he has essentially completely refined this spiritual treasure and can unleash its full power!

In fact, the improvement in combat power was secondary; what was truly valuable was that he used it to understand some of the true nature of the Great Luo.

Although much of the content was like reading gibberish to him and he couldn't understand it at all, at least Feng Xi grasped a fundamental point and glimpsed one of the secrets of why the Great Luo could cover endless time and space and create its own incarnations.

It should be understood that different worlds and different dimensions have different constituent orders and different arrangements of laws.

Sometimes, two timelines may have opposite and opposing rules and logics, the most absolute conflict... How did Da Luo manage to use a single Dao Fruit to encompass all things, achieving the ability to plug into all worlds and timelines without hindrance?

It is said that the Great Dao is omnipresent and therefore can cover endless time and space... but such descriptions are too abstract and too mysterious.

This is too unfriendly to a newbie like Feng Xi.

Now, he seemed to understand something, and had uncovered a corner of Da Luo's true nature.

"Infinite and non-repeating... therefore endless." A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Feng Xi's eyes. "If there were a first being to attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit, if he wasn't born a Great Luo, but rather sought it step by step, then it would be simply... simply..."

His admiration flowed like a mighty river, his respect beyond measure—if he weren't driving at the moment, he would probably have stood up and cheered loudly to express his overwhelming emotions.

……

How can one, with a finite being, attain a degree of infinity?

Cultivators below the Great Luo level have limits to their strength and wisdom.

It can be quantified, described and defined in detail, and its upper limit is known.

But Ronaldo is different.

Its power is limitless, its compatibility is limitless... Compared to cultivators below the Great Luo level, it has drawn an insurmountable gap!

Why?

What's the difference?

Feng Xi didn't understand before, but now he has a vague grasp of the key.

To use a more accurate and rigorous description, the difference between the Great Luo and the cultivators below this level is like the difference between irrational and rational numbers in mathematics.

The key part of the Great Luo Dao Fruit is similar to an irrational number, an infinite non-repeating number.

On a number that can be infinitely extended and expanded, there is an infinite space for manipulation.

For example, by using a specific method, the information that needs to be explained is compiled and then an equivalent relationship is established with a string of numbers. Relying on the properties of irrational numbers themselves, infinitely non-repeating... endless expansion, eventually there will be a certain region that describes the true situation of a certain spacetime, perfectly matching.

"Give me an infinite number of monkeys, an infinite amount of time, and an infinite number of keystrokes... Whether it's a brilliantly written article or a book with bizarre logic and grammar, I can type it all out for you..."

Such complex and vast information can be condensed into a single, abstract, irrational number so concise that it can even be represented by symbols... It is said that there are three thousand laws, but the great way is extremely simple, and this is by no means without reason!

A wisp of transcendent innate spiritual light illuminates various times and spaces. By perfectly aligning with the laws and principles of the corresponding regions and conforming to their rules, it resonates effortlessly and gains power.

Knowledge is power.

Therefore, Luo is omniscient and omnipotent!

Feng Xi admired those Great Luo Immortals, who were all incredibly majestic and sacred pioneers, able to acquire boundless wisdom and power in such an inconceivable way.

Their realm has reached the highest perfection.

A single great path encompasses all the principles of heaven and earth, and can explain everything in this world.

All things in the heavens can be explained using the language of their own Great Dao... No matter how bizarre or strange the space-time is, it is all encompassed by their Dao fruits.

Having come to understand the greatness of the Great Luo, Feng Xi also understood why the Ancestral Witch Dijiang once said that the Great Luo was the ultimate in cultivation, and that there was a huge gap between the Great Luo cultivators.

Indeed, in essence, there is no difference between two Great Luo Immortals; the Dao Fruit contains infinite information.

However, the efficiency is different!

Some of the data is poor at compiling information into numbers, and also has poor decoding efficiency in releasing information from numbers. A long string of data is useless.

Once they make a move, it's perfectly normal for them to be pinned to the ground and beaten to a pulp by those incredibly powerful ultimate beings.

Compared to Dijiang and Taiyi, Qiongyou is a Grand Luo Immortal... The former can only be a subordinate, while the latter two are the real big shots!

"Lord Dijiang," Feng Xi asked curiously, "Could I know who, besides Pangu, was the first Great Luo Immortal in the primordial world?"

"The first Great Luo Immortal?" Di Jiang chuckled. "That's hard to say... After all, the more powerful, the more ancient!"

"But once you reach a certain level of achievement, everyone is pretty much the same. So if you really want to name someone number one, there will always be someone who will be dissatisfied."

"However, it's hard to say who the number one Grand Luo is... but if we're talking about which Grand Luo has a higher status based on which Great Dao they cultivate, there's a general consensus on that."

"What Great Avenue?" Feng Xi's eyes widened.

"The Way of Change!"

"Is the Way of Change... the path walked by the Holy Emperor Fuxi?"

"Yes." Dijiang nodded. "After all, the Dao of Change plays a very important role in the cultivation of the Great Luo realm... Many powerful beings have drawn on its principles to some extent, so we owe it a debt of gratitude."

Feng Xi blinked, somewhat understanding.

Perhaps he didn't understand the reasoning before, but now he understands it immediately.

— Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams, using yin and yang lines to represent yin and yang.

When they are combined, they form the Eight Trigrams.

The movement of the lines (爻) leads to the change of the hexagrams (卦). The eight trigrams use yin and yang symbols to interpret all objective phenomena in the external world, and are a perfect combination of numbers and information!

"Yin and Yang dual progression, Bagua eight progression... This human race's Holy Emperor is no simple man!" Feng Xi thought haphazardly, but then heard the Ancestral Witch continue, "Therefore, although this holy being was born relatively late, the great powers of the heavens often have to give him face, and his status is extraordinary."

"Moreover, this Great Sage Fuxi is also of excellent character..." Dijiang chuckled softly, "He is kind and gentle, considerate of his subordinates, and possesses both virtue and integrity."

Therefore, most people praise him and few speak ill of him.

After listening, Feng Xi thought about it seriously and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

He came from the endless parallel universes of time... There, the orthodox myths were alright, but in the other miscellaneous information, the many holy and powerful beings of the primordial world were almost completely vilified.

The moral patriarch colluded with outsiders to gang up on his own brother, displaying utter depravity and madness.

Jieyin and Zhunti, all pretentious and arrogant, think they're so high and mighty, yet they've entered my Buddhist order.

……

Even Nuwa, a supreme goddess who created humans and mended the heavens with immeasurable merit, would either become a ruthless saint who created but didn't care for the living, or be pursued by someone...

Of the three thousand gods throughout history, how many have escaped being slandered?

Have it?

There's none?

Really!

In the legends of this primordial world full of mud and mire, the Holy Emperor Fuxi is like a white lotus flower that rises from the mud unsullied!

No matter what rumors or gossip circulate, or how others relentlessly smear certain sages, it has nothing to do with him.

A perennial background figure, its presence is so faint as to be almost nonexistent.

Since he's lost his presence, who would bother to relentlessly criticize him?

Moreover, although he is a nobody, ... the world changes, but the Holy Emperor remains.

Emperor Fuxi has amassed all sorts of honors and benefits, quietly making a fortune!

What does this tell us?

This proves that Emperor Fuxi was of high moral character, great prestige, and pure and flawless!

Even the most powerful beings admire his noble character... Even if they were his opponents, they would not resort to underhanded means to spread rumors in the endless space-time and tarnish the image of this human holy emperor.

This is a perfect holy king!

There are many like him among the human kings.

The sequence of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors—Shennong, Zhuanxu, Diku, Yao, Shun, etc.—has very little negative information.

The only exception might be the Yellow Emperor.

But that's not a huge problem—it just means our fighting strength has been severely weakened, and we need a lot of external help to defeat Chi You.

And, scandalous affairs.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden?

Three thousand women?

Is the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic possibly the Imperial Guide to Controlling Women?

Etc., etc.

In truth, they are merely minor details, minor flaws that do not detract from the overall excellence.

With so many virtuous human emperors and holy kings presiding over the realm, compared to the "brainless" ancestral witches, the cruel and tyrannical demon emperors, and the many evil-hearted deities...

It makes perfect sense that the human race will become the protagonist of the world!

"Emperor Fuxi was truly a moral exemplar and a spiritual benchmark." Feng Xi confided, filled with emotion, "Perhaps it was because of this being, whose moral character and wisdom were unparalleled in the primordial world, who, as the emperor of the human race, passed on his spirit to the successive human kings, causing them to study diligently and comprehend his thoughts..."

"Treating others with sincerity, leading all beings with perfect virtue, earning the heartfelt respect and love of the world... is this why humanity has achieved its glory?"

"You're absolutely right!" Dijiang clapped his hands in praise, agreeing with Fengxi's statement. "It is precisely because of the perfect virtue of this Great Sage Fuxi and his magnanimous heart that we, the Wu Clan, have set the first goal of our diplomatic trip on Phoenix Perch Mountain to visit the brother and sister Fuxi and Nuwa."

"Nuwa is the founder of the human race. And my Wu clan is the military force of the human race... Therefore, we must have some discussions with her."

"Fuxi is the guiding light of the human race's spirit, the perfect embodiment of wisdom and virtue... It is therefore necessary to meet and consult with him."

Emperor Jiang, the ancestral sorcerer, lavished praise on Fuxi, which made Da Yi, who was not far away, frown and hesitate to speak.

He seemed to want to refute a claim, to argue a point of view... but as he recalled something in his mind, the great shaman ultimately remained silent.

He, Yi, did not have the bad habit of gossiping behind people's backs.

—It's not that I'm worried about being turned into a primordial spiritual treasure, like some tragic demon god.

……

"Lord Dijiang, this innate spiritual treasure...aren't you going to name it?"

Shifting the topic from Fuxi, Feng Xi pointed to the scroll transformed from the Qiongyou Demon God.

"Why bother with such effort for a mere high-grade spiritual treasure?" Di Jiang said dismissively. "Fine, considering it's a sacrifice for the opening of the Lich Calamity, let's give it a name... Qiongyou Map? That's not suitable, after all, there's only half of the Dao Fruit here."

"How about we separate '穹' and '幽', take one of them, and then add a character to it?" Feng Xi's eyes lit up as she suggested, "That would perfectly suit our current situation."

"That works too." Dijiang nodded indifferently. "Qiong means heaven. Heaven and earth are black and yellow; the color of the sky is black, and the color of the earth is yellow."

"You can refer to the earth, echoing the heavens. The heavens have nine layers, and so does the earth, which are called the Nine Netherworlds."

"You can call it the Mysterious Sky Diagram, or the Nine Netherworld Diagram, either is fine," Di Jiang chuckled. "This demon god is no simple character either."

"Don't be fooled by how easily it died here; it's still considered a formidable opponent even among the Great Luo Immortals."

"Qiongyou is his Daoist name. He comprehends the mysteries of heaven and the darkness of earth, the deepest and most desolate darkness of the universe, which also contains the origin of all life... His ambition is quite great."

"It's a pity... now that I'm sinking into this, everything will be for naught." Di Jiang suddenly felt a little sad. "I wonder if I will suffer the same fate one day."

Feng Xi opened her mouth, wanting to offer some words of comfort.

However, before he could utter a single word, the Ancestral Witch rallied his spirits, declaring, "Precisely because of this, we must fight and contend!"

Di Jiang's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he gazed ahead. "I'll begin here at Phoenix Perch, as my starting point!"

Feng Xi was taken aback at first, then turned her head sharply.
