Chapter 136 Accumulation
"It seems I need to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible." Knowing that the cultivation environment in the prehistoric world would become difficult in tens of thousands of years, Feng Zichen couldn't help but feel impatient.
With the help of the human race's fortune, Feng Zichen's progress was phenomenal; he was now not far from becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal. What he lacked was simply accumulation.
After all, cultivation, besides comprehending the Great Dao, was also a process of accumulation, requiring constant refinement of one's cultivation and increasing one's refinement.
He had cultivated for less than 50,000 years, which was far less than that of the Taiyi Golden Immortals, who had cultivated for millions or tens of millions of years. His accumulation was too little, and his refinement was somewhat insufficient.
Even though Feng Zichen possessed the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his refinement was insufficient, and his origin was too thin to support him in breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which was somewhat frustrating.
"Time, what I lack most right now is time. It's a pity I've never heard of any secret realm in the primordial world that can accelerate one's own time."
"Otherwise, I could quickly reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, saving hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation."
Breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm requires a long period of accumulation, something Feng Zichen, despite his eagerness, has no way to achieve.
Of course, not all beings need to accumulate; at least, innate gods and demons don't. They are born from innate origins, and when their realm reaches a certain point, they naturally advance.
If innate gods and demons were treated like ordinary beings, how could they live up to their title as the "favored sons" of the Heavenly Dao, how could they highlight their special status!
Suirenshi only cultivated for 100,000 years longer than Feng Zichen, yet he was able to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm much earlier.
This is because he was the first person created by Nuwa, imbued with Nuwa's heart and soul, possessing an incomparably profound innate origin, no less than that of innate gods and demons.
Therefore, he didn't need to accumulate; when his realm reached a certain point, he could break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Upon returning to the human race, Feng Zichen first inspected their situation. Seeing that nothing major had occurred, he dispatched his divine avatar to handle human affairs on his behalf.
He himself returned to his Zichen Cave Heaven, absorbing primordial energy and refining his origin, striving to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible.
…
On this day, after failing to communicate with the World Tree within the Chaos Pearl, Feng Zichen attempted to suppress it to forcibly extract his primordial origin, but was interrupted by two powerful auras.
"This humble Daoist, Yuqing Daoist of Kunlun Mountain, opens his mountain gates today. Anyone with the affinity who can reach the Jade Void Palace may become my disciple!"
"This humble Daoist, Shangqing Daoist of Kunlun Mountain, opens his mountain gates today. Anyone who aspires to the Dao may go to Kunlun Mountain and become my disciple!"
"Hmph! You're lucky this time. After I finish this matter, I'll teach you a lesson." Giving the World Tree an angry look, Feng Zichen turned and left, heading towards the ancestral temple.
Having returned to the human race for less than a century, Feng Zichen grew weary of the process of collecting primordial energy and couldn't resist hatching a crooked plan. The only thing he lacked to become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal was his own source energy; why bother condensing it bit by bit when he could simply take what was readily available and refine it?
In the primordial world, the most abundant primordial source energy belonged to the primordial gods and demons, followed by various primordial spiritual treasures, and finally, the primordial beings scattered throughout the land.
However, Feng Zichen couldn't possibly go on a killing spree, hunting down primordial gods, demons, and beings just to refine his primordial source energy. That went against his principles and was unacceptable.
Furthermore, each primordial spiritual treasure was exceptionally precious and rare. Besides, the primordial spiritual treasures Feng Zichen possessed were all incredibly useful; why would he destroy them to extract their source energy?
After much thought, he set his sights on the World Tree. If it came to refining primordial source energy, what could be more suitable than the World Tree's source energy!
Moreover, despite all the effort he put into raising the World Tree to such a size, the benefits he received from it were negligible. On the contrary, the World Tree benefited immensely from him.
It would hide away from misfortune and disappear, but it was always the first to appear when good things happened. To be honest, Feng Zichen had tolerated it for a long time. Now, Feng Zichen wanted to borrow some of the world's origin from the World Tree, but after much discussion, the World Tree refused. He was furious; if he didn't teach it a lesson, it would really think it was the boss.
...
"All Golden Immortals of the Human Race, come to the Ancestral Temple to see me!"
The voice was loud and clear, resounding throughout the entire Human Race, echoing in the ears of every Golden Immortal, summoning them to the council hall. Inside the council hall, Feng Zichen sat on the main seat, looking at the assembled immortals below, and slowly said:
"Gentlemen, now that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable have opened their gates and are recruiting disciples throughout the primordial world, I wish to send you to Kunlun Mountain to try your luck. What do you think?"
"This..."
"We have no objection." "
However, our Human Race is inherently weak, and we are afraid that even if we go to Kunlun Mountain, the Saints will not take us seriously."
The crowd exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and then replied to Feng Zichen.
Those who are family know their own situation. Humans, as a race born later, even if created by sages, cannot compare to other innate races except for their resemblance in form to innate Dao bodies.
Moreover, many who go to Kunlun Mountain to seek apprenticeship are likely of innate divine or demonic origin. Why would the sages possibly favor them?
"There's no need to worry about this. Didn't Lingbao Tianzun say that anyone with a heart yearning for the Dao can become his disciple?"
"Even if you cannot become his true disciples, obtaining the title of a nominal disciple and receiving instruction under him is a blessing."
"Alright, if there are no objections, you should set off quickly, lest you miss the appointed time."
Yuanshi Tianzun values lineage above all else and likely looks down on humans. Although later legends say he favors humans, among his disciples, besides Jiang Ziya, no other human has been known, demonstrating the unreliability of these legends.
The Tongtian Sect Leader taught without discrimination, so the chances of them joining the Jie Sect were high, and even gaining the title of outer disciple would be quite good.
Moreover, even if they all failed to become disciples, it wouldn't matter.
Because in the end, the Three Pure Ones would each give a sermon, which all beings near Kunlun Mountain could hear, ensuring that those who failed wouldn't have made a wasted trip.
All things considered, their journey to Kunlun Mountain to become disciples, whether successful or not, would only bring benefits and no harm. Furthermore, the long journey to Kunlun Mountain would also serve as a tempering experience for them.
With so many advantages, why wouldn't they take advantage of it?
"Hmm, why aren't you all moving? "
Coming back to his senses, Feng Zichen looked down and saw everyone still hesitating, standing there motionless. He
couldn't help but feel a little angry and said sarcastically, "Surely you don't even have the heart to pursue the Dao!"
"Clan Leader, please calm down, we'll leave immediately!" Seeing his anger, everyone quickly said.
