The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 59 Where is the trust between people? In a pit!

There was one thing Feng Xi had misunderstood.

The Great Sage Fuxi would speak to him with a kind and gentle manner, which was by no means a simple matter of mentoring a junior or giving guidance to someone with the same surname.

Who was Xi Huang?

He is an unparalleled giant among the Great Luo Saints, accumulating countless merits and fortunes in an instant!

In the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, one holds the title of Demon Emperor.

Invest in the human race and you will become the human king; you will surely have a place among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

She and Feng Xi, a mere Golden Immortal sorcerer, are worlds apart... what could they possibly have to talk about?

It was merely an attempt to uncover any clues about a supreme figure, leaving no stone unturned in the search of any suspicious individuals or those who had risen to prominence due to the changing times.

Like Feng Xi... because she stood out from hundreds of thousands of lesser witches and caught the eye of Emperor Xi at this crucial moment, which is why she has this dynasty today.

Through a series of coincidences, he arrived before one of the incarnations of the Great Sage Fuxi, where he was able to investigate him face-to-face, uncovering everything he had seen and heard in this life, as well as his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Feng Xi's experience is not unique.

Before him, there were already nearly 100,000 people!

The golden finger that was given away was actually just compensation... After investigating the origins of a little guy tens of millions of times, even if the victim didn't notice anything, Xi Huang still felt a little embarrassed and specially made some compensation.

After making the compensation, he sent Feng Xi away directly.

Ultimately, we're not on the same level, so what else is there to say?

……

Feng Xi didn't understand what had happened to her; she had once walked on the edge of a cliff.

He may never know for the rest of his life that if he cannot attain the Great Luo in the future, he will not even have the right to know.

However, even if Feng Xi knew, she would probably just laugh it off.

"joke!"

"How could I, Feng Xi, possibly have a problem?"

"I'm an absolutely innocent newcomer!"

"Long before you, Emperor Xi, Lord Dijiang had already cleared me of suspicion, okay?!"

In the past, Feng Xi, with nine teammates, roamed freely across the Hou Tu tribe's 1404 region, making countless name for himself.

At that time, his squad was placed under close observation.

The ten Ancestral Witches personally descended in their incarnations and engaged in a friendly "sparring match"...

That day was one that Feng Xi would never forget, a day in which her worldview was shattered and rebuilt.

Nine out of ten teammates were willing to sacrifice Feng Xi as a scapegoat and take the fall... which even made Di Jiang feel sympathy and sigh.

In this vast and desolate wilderness, whose fate could be as bizarre and... tragic as Feng Xi's?

"Nine powerful alt accounts, so brazenly throwing me out to take the brunt of their attacks... Clearly, how could I, Feng Xi, be merely an alt account of a great supernatural being?"

"If I were an unparalleled powerhouse, I would always be the one making others take the blame, never the other way around."

Countless days and nights, Feng Xi would recall that unforgettable day.

He has already remembered that grudge!

It has been three hundred billion years since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and three hundred billion years since the Western Zhou Dynasty. Don't underestimate a newcomer!

"Jun, Boyang, Zixiu, Jiran, Yuchen, Lilu, Qingxuan, Darong, Qiongsang, these nine guys..."

"If I ever rise from the ashes, I'll have to fight them sooner or later..."

Thoughts hidden deep in the heart surge and resonate.

"Pound them all to the ground and beat them up, make them all your fathers!"

When the cheat system of fortune and merit was installed on Feng Xi's true spirit and perfectly integrated with it... the existence of this cheat reignited and expanded his ambition.

"You...just you wait!"

"Once I launch a bottom-up reform movement and use the system's power to seize control of the Wu Clan's core base... I'll come back with my sword and demand an explanation!"

……

I want to be alone.

"Don't ask me who Jingjing is."

After buying and selling the goods and gathering enough supplies, Feng Xi was shocked when he returned to the camp where the Wu tribe's ceremonial guard was stationed.

He was so shocked that he could barely control himself. His lips twitched and he kept muttering to himself... He stood in front of the camp gate, unable to move any further.

The Luck and Merit System grants him the ability to observe Qi, allowing him to see the fortune of a living being.

Heaven knows what Feng Xi saw at that moment.

He looked at the soldiers training and walking around the camp, and for a moment he questioned the meaning of life.

Purple aura!

Incomparably noble purple aura!

According to the aura observation, hazy purple aura rose up and burst forth from the crowns of some minor shamans.

Purple aura... what does that mean?

Those whose fortune is extremely noble.

When Lao Tzu passed through Hangu Pass, a purple aura appeared in the east, indicating that a sage was on his way!

Although the purple aura that appeared in Feng Xi's eyes at this moment was obviously no match for the sight of a sage... it was only a wisp, a strand.

However, this represents a high level of quality and exceptional quality!

At the very least, it must be related to the Great Luo Supreme, and not just in an ordinary way!

For example, the alt version, or the alt version, or the alt version again...

"Among the hundreds of thousands of lesser witches here, several hundred possess purple-level fortune... This is far more insane than I imagined!"

Feng Xi glanced at himself; as a Golden Immortal, his aura was only between red and yellow.

Even with the cheat code, only a wisp of green aura remained.

And look at these guys who exude purple aura... what else can he say?

Where is the trust between people in this primordial world?

"Those high-ranking Luo Immortals, instead of maintaining their prestige and honestly playing the role of a boss, they randomly create alternate accounts and roam the world..."

"Right now, I really can't trust anyone."

Looking back, he even felt that being tricked by nine powerful but absurd accounts back then might not be such a strange thing after all.

Based on what we know so far, he'll probably have to be extra careful whenever he walks down the street and sees passersby.

Who knows, among the spectators watching the battle and quoting classical texts, there might be a pseudonym of a powerful cultivator, playing the game of the mortal world.

"I finally understand the scene that Xi Huang demonstrated to me before... The Great Luo Supreme, eternally free in endless time and space, with countless avatars throughout the heavens and the past..."

"This is still the undisguised Roman Armor, and I can still discern it using my aura."

"What if those are hidden so well..."

Feng Xi shivered.

In a daze, he realized—the more you know, the greater the pressure!

Like now... can he still have fun?

The original plan was to form a business alliance, take the lion's share, and use it as a base to unite countless elites of the witch clan and accomplish great things...

Now, does Feng Xi still have such courage and boldness?

Ignorance breeds fearlessness.

At this moment, Feng Xi asked himself, examining his own conscience, "This work... I still have to do it."

"But we really need to be careful. What if something unexpected happens again, like that old mess, and we're pushed out to take the blame and scapegoat..."

"The platform was just built, and someone stole the fruits of our labor... We have nowhere to turn to complain!"

Under the influence of aura observation, what seemed like a simple matter was instantly upgraded to hellish difficulty.

However, this might be a good thing.

With more precautions, there will be fewer obstacles and hidden dangers on the road ahead.

"Tsk... Just this one Qi Observation prompt alone makes obtaining this Qi Luck and Merit System from Xi Huang worthwhile."

"I suddenly understand... why some cultivators who delve into the secrets of heaven and master the study of destiny are so easily envied by the heavens."

There's a reason for this.

"That's the most promising path to survival and the easiest way to grow stronger!"

A thought flashed through Feng Xi's mind, and many ideas came to mind. 'It seems like their cultivation level and fortune don't match, with their fortune far surpassing their cultivation... Either they have a powerful backer, or they possess great opportunities and treasures—like me.'

"I'll pass on any powerful backers... but opportunities and treasures can be stolen!"

Feng Xi discovered a way to get rich.

"Perhaps I should travel more across the primordial land? After all, according to Xi Huang, there are far too many beings who have transmigrated to this era with their own cheat-like abilities..."

"Hmm..." Feng Xi's eyes narrowed. "Who knows, with just the Qi-observation ability this system gave me, I might be able to collect things like the Chaos Pearl, fragments of the Creation Jade Disc, or the Chaos Green Lotus..."

"I can't and dare not have everything from Xi Huang, but outside..."

"Old Feng, how was the trip?" A cheerful voice rang out, interrupting Feng Xi's thoughts.

A burly man from the Wu tribe with a rugged face approached and said to Feng Xi, "You've been standing outside the gate for so long, your expression constantly changing, often looking worried... What trouble have you encountered in your buying and selling, no, in your business transactions? Have you failed to achieve your expected goals?"

"Tell me, Old Jiang, I have an idea for you..." The burly man thumped his chest loudly, looking every bit the righteous hero. "Even if it means going with you to kill someone, based on our friendship... although my cultivation is weaker, I'll fight alongside you to the death, even if it costs me my life!"

With his thick eyebrows and big eyes, his left cheek radiates honesty, and his right cheek radiates reliability.

If it weren't for the Fengxi Qi-observation cheat, which caused his fortune to evolve into a deep and condensed purple aura... he might have actually believed it and been moved by the genuine feelings that still exist in the human world.

But now, what lingers in Feng Xi's heart are only three simple and unadorned words that can express all her emotions.

—Hemp wheat bran.

With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Feng Xi quickly composed herself, organized her thoughts, and put on a radiant smile.

"No... I've perfectly achieved my goal." He called out loudly, attracting hundreds of thousands of little witches to flock around him and display their trading results. "Look, everyone, these are it... Oh, and this is my trading statement."

"Could the shaman, who is skilled in accounting, review this... and see if there are any problems with the data?"

"Haha... Brother Fengxi, how could we not trust you?" some of the lesser witches laughed. "Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust... The fact that we've entrusted these tasks to you shows our trust in you!"

"So, there's no need for review or anything like that..."

"No, no, no..." Feng Xi's smile widened. "Even between brothers, accounts should be kept clear... Besides, this is the early stage of our business, isn't it?"

"Fairness, impartiality, transparency... making every bill and transaction clearly traceable is the truly responsible approach for everyone!"

Feng Xi spoke with righteous indignation.

At the same moment, an unspeakable thought swirled in his mind: "What if one day, some unscrupulous individuals exploit financial loopholes to attack me… accusing me of embezzlement and misappropriation of wealth, ousting me from my leadership position, and stealing the fruits of victory!"
