The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 52: The Luck and Merit System, at your service!

"The one who laughs last may not be the one who shines for a moment... They may be like a shooting star, flashing by in an instant," Fuxi sighed. "Unless one day you can attain the Great Luo Dao and qualify as a chess player... At that time, your brilliance may be like the sun stretching across the sea of ​​stars, overshadowing all the celestial bodies!"

Feng Xi seemed to be deep in thought.

"Before the Great Luo, no matter how outstanding one's talent and wisdom, one must restrain one's aggressive edge and not be too dazzling or eye-catching on the battlefield... If one is too dazzling or eye-catching, the Great Luo on the other side will take you seriously and solemnly put down one hand," Fuxi said. "Their rise is erratic and their fall is sudden."

"You should be excellent in a gentle and mild way... not as sharp and intimidating as a sword, but as solid and steady as a mountain."

"A fine sword may be infinitely sharp, but if it is used to fight on the front lines, it will eventually break."

Xi Huang secretly instructed Feng Xi, his junior, "If you want to go far and look to the future... then saving your own people is more important than killing the enemy."

"Killing countless enemies and achieving great military exploits may earn you the respect of your own camp, but it also draws an invisible line between yourself and your comrades—a line of awe. On the other hand, rescuing your own people earns you gratitude and support... The former makes you a general, the latter a commander!"

"More importantly, in the eyes of the enemy... the latter is much more inconspicuous."

"Moreover, with a solid base of support, the gratitude for saving lives extended throughout the entire army. At that time, wouldn't it have been easy to rack up some merits?"

Feng Xi pondered and thought, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

The guidance of the Great Sage Fuxi opened a door to a new world for him.

That is a further sublimation and interpretation of his current concept of "everyone gets rich together", which goes beyond a simple alliance of interests and binds the group more tightly, taking control of the core base.

"Emperor Fuxi, you know so much!" Feng Xi exclaimed in admiration. "You stand in such a high position, yet you are so clear about the ins and outs of the lower levels."

"I have countless incarnations, traversing the world. How much have I experienced? How much have I been through?" Xi Huang chuckled. "The Great Dao operates the universe, never caring about nobility or humility. It is omnipresent and all-encompassing."

"I have followed the Tao, experienced countless lives, and been in all sorts of situations... So what's so strange about distilling some insights into life now?"

As a Great Luo Immortal, one naturally has countless minor titles.

The number of lives that the Great Sage Fuxi experienced is too numerous to be told to outsiders.

He may have already tried countless bizarre life forms in some parallel universe in the past.

Perhaps it is as immovable as a mountain or a rock, unmoved for thousands of years, experiencing the eternal and timeless passage of time.

It may also be like a mayfly, born and dying in an instant, unaware of the passing of time... In its limited life, there is a moment of brilliant brilliance.

If the life of each Great Luo Immortal could be written down, it would surely be the most wonderful.

They naturally had many insights to share.

"I know strength, and I also know weakness." Fuxi smiled. "When strong, one has the freedom and unrestrained spirit of the strong; when weak, one also abides by the propriety and propriety of the weak."

"In this process, it is much more difficult to be a weak person than a strong person—because for the strong, no outsider can punish you; you only need to fight against your own desires."

"But the weak need to experience more hardship...this is what makes them grow."

"I have experienced many lives that started as a victim, and I have learned a lot from these experiences."

"It's like a phrase that people often use—'You know too much,' but if you look into it more closely, it can be quite interesting."

"In fact, as a weakling..." Xi Huang sighed, "you really can't be completely ignorant."

"In that case, after a storm, they wouldn't even know how they died."

"Therefore, you need to understand history, know the secrets, and understand where the storms originated, so that you can avoid them in a targeted manner."

"But it is dangerous to know nothing; but it is also dangerous to know everything—when no one is there to support you."

"Often, top-tier experts don't care whether their dark past is known to others—because their opponents at the same level are mostly aware of it."

"What difference does it make if one more ant finds out?"

"What they really care about is whether you will spread the word."

"So even if you know, you have to force yourself to pretend you know nothing... To put it bluntly, it's acting." Fuxi smiled faintly, "Acting out a play that everyone inside understands, but no one outside understands."

"You acted well, which amused the great master. He smiled slightly, showed mercy, and let you go."

"Poor acting?"

"Then the great power watching the show will not be in a good mood... He doesn't even have the patience to wait for you to die in an accident over the long years and take the secret to the ground. It's quite normal for him to send you on your way so casually."

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!

Especially for the weak, if they want to navigate life smoothly and reach higher levels... then they need to be even more adept at acting!

The battlefield that Feng Xi will inevitably step onto in the future is actually a grand stage where countless beings ascend to perform.

What Feng Xi needs to do is to appear harmless in the eyes of the enemy, outstanding in the eyes of the higher-ups, and reliable in the eyes of his comrades...

Through repeated performances, he solidified the public's perception of him.

Until they weather the most difficult period, they will once again unleash their full potential and shine with the most dazzling brilliance.

It remains silent for a thousand years, but when it does, it astounds the world; it does not fly for ten thousand years, but when it does, it soars to the heavens!

"Xi, I humbly accept your instruction!" Feng Xi bowed earnestly to the Great Sage Fuxi.

Xi Huang's words were invaluable advice to Feng Xi... something that even the Ancestral Witch Di Jiang had never mentioned.

That makes sense, after all.

Who has ever seen a leader instruct his soldiers like this: "Be careful on the battlefield, don't be reckless, avoid attracting targeted attacks; if things go wrong, run away quickly, preserving your own life is the priority; unite with your comrades as much as possible, and use your fellow soldiers to facilitate communication between superiors and subordinates later..."

Which faction teaches like this? They're probably doomed.

—When the war started, my soldiers all chickened out, so what was the point of fighting?

Fuxi, for reasons unknown, guided Fengxi, leading him down this path.

"So, do you still choose this counterfeit Immortal Execution Sword Formation?"

"I won't choose it." Feng Xi pushed the array diagram away. "Although this thing is extremely powerful and can be used to roam freely, it is a great weapon... but because it is a great weapon, it cannot be used lightly."

"It would be a pity to lose it, but difficult to use it if I gained it; I will not take it."

"Let's switch to a more frequently used support plugin with powerful buffs..."

Feng Xi reluctantly shifted her gaze from the pseudo-Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and looked at something else.

It has to be said that the Great Sage Fuxi has been fishing here for countless years. The cheat codes he has collected are incredibly diverse, and the only uses he can achieve are things that Feng Xi can't even imagine!

"The pseudo-Qiankun Cauldron... can refine acquired spiritual objects and recreate innate treasures? Although this process involves thousands of times more loss, it can achieve a qualitative leap by sacrificing quantity?"

"But the difference between innate and acquired is like heaven and earth... Cultivation at the Taiyi realm mainly requires innate spiritual objects!"

"With this cauldron, whether it's uniting comrades, bribing superiors, or rewarding subordinates, it's all a piece of cake!"

"A pseudo-Mountain and River Map, forming its own domain..." Feng Xi's envy had never subsided. "It can monitor and control the mountains and rivers within a trillion-mile radius anytime, anywhere, and know the output of all mountain ranges, water veins, spiritual objects, and mineral veins within its range..."

"With this magical treasure, I could become rich overnight just by mining and treasure hunting, not to mention its role on the battlefield. It allows me to know the enemy's entire troop formation and deployment, making it easy to attack or retreat... truly a weapon of war!"

"A fake Hetu Luoshu?"

"It can divine the secrets of heaven and anticipate the enemy's moves; it can foresee the future and know the methods and opportunities to solve the current predicament; it can deduce objects and find serendipitous encounters... This is simply an informational bug!"

……

In terms of attack power, auxiliary spirit treasures are naturally inferior to offensive spirit treasures.

However, their function is even more useful for cultivators!

Even the most powerful offensive magical artifacts, capable of destroying everything in their path, are of little use when there are no enemies.

However, auxiliary-type spirit treasures are different.

They can help with spiritual practice and can be used at any time.

Mining, treasure hunting, survival... all sorts of things kept Feng Xi busy.

"The pseudo-Kunlun Mirror can transcend time and space, allowing one to roam the vast universe, and even enter parallel universes, descending upon the past and future..." Feng Xi's breath almost stopped as she looked up at the Great Sage Fuxi, "If I use it, can I return to the world before I transmigrated?"

"Of course... However, the distance is too far, and we would need to sacrifice a Taiyi, as well as this spiritual treasure itself," Fuxi said calmly. "After all, this is just a counterfeit magic weapon, not the genuine article."

"Besides, you should at least have some lofty ambitions... If you become a Great Luo Immortal, where can't you go?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xi gave a wry smile, "Great Luo... Great Luo... it's not that easy!"

"The number of living beings in the primordial world is immeasurable, yet how many Great Luo Immortals have emerged from it?"

"Despite my ambition, the cold reality reminds me—it won't be easy!"

"You haven't even reached that threshold to try and break through to the Great Luo realm, so why draw conclusions so early?" Fuxi said meaningfully. "Perhaps that realm isn't as difficult as you imagine."

"Really?" Feng Xi rallied her spirits and regained her fighting spirit. "Then I'll take your kind words!"

Xi Huang smiled, seemingly unconcerned, and simply asked, "So... after looking at these magical treasures, is there anything you like?"

"They're both great..." Feng Xi sighed. "I wish I could have them all, but I know that's impossible."

"So... is there a cheat that combines the strengths of all of them?"

"You're really insatiable," Fuxi said with a laugh. "But perhaps you're just lucky; you arrived at the perfect time."

"Not long ago, I caught a big fish with a really interesting cheat code."

Xi Huang picked out a dazzling ball of light, "Hey, that's it."

Feng Xi took it curiously, focused her mind, and read it out word by word.

"A system of fortune and merit?"
