FWF Chapter 604 Breakthrough, just around the corner!
Chapter 604 Breakthrough, just around the corner!
What kind of dragon was it?
It has no physical form; it is entirely formed from the purest and most fundamental human destiny.
Every scale on the dragon's body seemed to bear the mark of a human sage's struggle.
Within the dragon's eyes, the endless rise and fall, glory and disgrace of the human race from its very birth to the present day, spread across the vast land.
Its appearance, though lacking any earth-shattering pressure, made Chen Changsheng, a Primordial Golden Immortal, feel a profound sense of insignificance from the depths of his soul.
That is the instinctive reverence one feels when facing one's own civilization and one's racial roots.
"This is the original projection of the true dragon of my human race's destiny."
The voice of Emperor Fuxi echoed solemnly within the cave hall, filled with reverence.
"Today, we, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, will emulate the ancient Human Sovereign and perform the coronation ceremony for you!"
"With one-tenth of the fortune of my human race, I will aid your path and protect you!"
As Fuxi finished speaking, the True Dragon of Fortune, coiled in the sea of clouds, let out a roar that shook the very soul. Its massive head slowly lowered, and its eyes, which contained the vicissitudes of the entire human race's history, locked onto Chen Changsheng.
Being stared at by those eyes, Chen Changsheng felt as if all his secrets had been seen through.
From the moment he arrived in this world, everything he did and every thought he had was laid bare under the scrutiny of this human destiny.
This is both a test and a recognition.
If he harbored even the slightest thought of harming humanity, he would likely be instantly devoured by this immense fortune, ending up annihilated, body and soul!
Chen Changsheng was honest and open-minded. Although he had selfish motives, he never intended to harm the fundamental interests of the human race.
He held his head high and faced the scrutiny of the true dragon of destiny with composure.
"hold head high--!"
Seemingly acknowledging Chen Changsheng's character, the Qi Fortune Dragon let out another high-pitched dragon roar.
The next moment, its enormous body suddenly plunged down from the sea of fortune clouds, transforming into a dark yellow torrent, its target being Chen Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the center!
coming!
Chen Changsheng's mind sharpened, and he immediately composed himself, circulating all his magical power to prepare to meet this terrifying power that would make even a saint take notice.
He knew that this was both a tremendous opportunity and a life-or-death test!
If he cannot withstand it, his fate will be to be burst apart by this immense fortune, his Dao Fruit will shatter, and his primordial spirit will dissolve!
boom!
Before he could prepare, the dark yellow torrent of fortune slammed into the top of his head!
In that instant, Chen Changsheng's consciousness seemed to be plunged into an ocean of endless information.
Countless images, countless sounds, countless emotions flooded his mind.
He saw the bewilderment and joy of the human race created by Nuwa.
He witnessed Suirenshi drilling wood to make fire, bringing the first ray of light and warmth to his people in the darkness.
He saw that the Youchao clan built nests out of wood, giving humankind its first home to shelter them from the wind and rain in the perilous wilderness.
He witnessed Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, getting poisoned seventy times a day, all so that his people could have enough food to eat and herbs to cure their illnesses.
He saw the Yellow Emperor wielding the sacred sword, battling Chi You in the wilderness of Zhuolu, his blood staining the mountains and rivers, ultimately laying the foundation for the unification of the human race.
He witnessed Yu the Great passing by his home three times without entering, exhausting his efforts to control the raging floods and establish his rule over the nine provinces.
Scene after scene, incident after incident...
That is the history of blood and tears of the human race, the history of the human race's struggle, and even more so, the history of the human race's glory!
These images are not just photographs; they also contain the most sincere and passionate emotions of our ancestors.
Unyielding, resilient, fighting, protecting, passing on...
This spiritual power is far more terrifying than a pure energy impact!
Even with Chen Changsheng's firm Dao heart, he felt that his primordial spirit was about to be completely assimilated and dissolved by this vast spiritual torrent.
"Stay true to yourself!"
Just as he was about to lose his way, the voice of Emperor Fuxi resounded in his heart like a thunderclap.
Chen Changsheng jolted awake and instantly became clear-headed.
He was then terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
so close!
I almost lost myself in this torrent of humanity, becoming a puppet with only the greater good of humanity but no will of my own!
"I, Chen Changsheng, am myself!"
"I admire the sages of the past, and I protect humanity, but that doesn't mean I should lose myself!"
He bit his tongue hard, the intense pain keeping him conscious for the last moment.
He began to frantically circulate his own Dao techniques, the Great Dao of Thunder roared, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique roared, and the Immortal Light of the Upper Clarity flowed, desperately protecting the last bit of his true spirit from annihilation.
He no longer passively endured it, but began to actively guide and organize the surging energy that flowed into his body.
He was like a tiny flood controller, facing a torrent that could engulf the world, using his insignificant strength to painstakingly dig a channel and guide the flow of water.
This process was extremely painful.
His physical body, eroded by the flow of fortune, cracked inch by inch, yet was instantly repaired by the immense vitality contained within that fortune.
His meridians were stretched to the point of bursting like balloons, and with each repair, they became more resilient and wider than before.
His primordial spirit, repeatedly washed by that torrent of spirit, was tempered and refined, becoming increasingly pure and condensed.
Inside the cave, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors looked at Chen Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the center, covered in blood, yet whose aura was steadily rising, and their faces showed expressions of approval and satisfaction.
"Not bad, he's a good prospect."
A rare smile appeared on Emperor Xuanyuan's usually serious face.
"To be able to find oneself and guard one's true self so quickly under the impact of the torrent of humanity, this Dao heart alone is enough to make one stand out from the vast majority of Quasi-Saints in the Three Realms."
"More than just a quasi-saint."
A gleam of wisdom shone in the eyes of Emperor Fuxi as he looked at Chen Changsheng, as if he were seeing a piece of unpolished jade being refined through countless trials.
"His path is very special, with an incredibly solid foundation. For him, the human race's fortune is not a simple blessing, but the best catalyst and whetstone."
"I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing how far he can go after he's fully digested this opportunity."
As they were talking, Chen Changsheng's aura had already reached a critical point.
His cultivation barrier as a Primordial Golden Immortal began to shake violently under the impact of this immense fortune, as if it would shatter at any moment.
A breakthrough is just around the corner!
However, at the very moment when the fate of the human race underwent a dramatic change, several of the most powerful beings in the entire prehistoric Three Realms simultaneously sensed something and turned their gazes toward the direction of the Fire Cloud Cave.
Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.
Inside a seemingly simple Taoist palace, an old man dressed in a Bagua Taoist robe, with white hair and beard and a calm, serene face, sat cross-legged on a futon.
He seemed to have merged with the universe and the great Dao, doing nothing yet accomplishing everything.
He is the head of the Three Pure Ones, the leader of the Human Religion, and the Supreme Sage.
Just as the human race's destiny dragon entered the body of the Fire Cloud Cave, the Supreme Sage's seemingly unchanging eyes suddenly opened a crack.
A beam of light, powerful enough to pierce through the three realms and see through the long river of time, flashed by and disappeared in an instant.
"Um?"
He let out a soft exclamation, not loud, but it seemed to resonate with the laws of nature.
As the leader of the Human Cult, his connection with the fate of the human race is second only to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the Fire Cloud Cave.
Just now, he clearly felt that the human race's fortune, which was originally as stable as a mountain, seemed to have had a large chunk ripped out of it!
Moreover, this mobilized fortune did not dissipate, but was instead bestowed upon a particular individual.
What an extravagant undertaking!
And who is it that has the ability to mobilize such a vast amount of human destiny?
With a thought, the Supreme Sage slowly unfurled the illusory image of the Taiji diagram behind him, beginning to deduce the secrets of heaven.
However, the secrets of heaven were in complete chaos, obscured by an even heavier and more concentrated force.
That is the power of humanity.
It was the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of Huoyun Cave who joined forces to conceal the secrets of heaven.
"interesting."
For the first time, a hint of interest appeared on the face of the Supreme Sage.
The person who can command such protection from those old guys at such great cost must be extraordinary.
Although he couldn't directly calculate who that person was, he still managed to grasp a crucial causal link by sensing the fate of the human race.
Following that line, a name surfaced in his mind.
Chen Changsheng.
"It was him."
The Supreme Sage slowly uttered the name, his eyes becoming somewhat profound.
He was naturally familiar with this junior member of the Jie Sect who had recently stirred up boundless storms in the primordial world.
In the grand competition among the three religions, he overpowered Guang Chengzi.
Taoshan rescues his mother, defying the laws of heaven.
At Chentang Pass, he even forced his junior brother, Puxian, a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, to retreat.
Every single thing he did demonstrated his extraordinary nature.
Originally, in the eyes of the Supreme Sage, although Chen Changsheng was an anomaly, he was still within the chessboard and posed no serious threat.
But now, the situation is different.
The three sovereigns and five emperors of the human race actually placed such a heavy bet on him.
This is no longer just a simple disruptor; this is about to overturn the table and become the true player in the game!
"During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the human race was destined to decline, while the Western Zhou Dynasty was destined to rise; this was the will of Heaven."
"Fuxi and the others are defying the will of Heaven."
The Supreme Sage murmured to himself, and at this moment, even his Daoist heart, which was free from all action, was stirred by a slight ripple.
He slowly closed his eyes, no longer trying to force a deduction.
Since it's a variable, let's make it even bigger.
He wanted to see just how far this person chosen by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could go in this great calamity.
……
Beyond the thirty-third heaven lies the Nuwa Palace.
Auspicious clouds swirled, and celestial music filled the air.
A woman dressed in palace attire, with unparalleled beauty and a maternal glow in her eyes, was quietly gazing at the landscape painting before her.
It was none other than the Holy Mother of Humanity, Goddess Nuwa.
She became a saint because she created humankind, and her fate is closely related to that of the human race.
The commotion at Huoyun Cave naturally did not escape her notice.
"These old guys really know how to spend a lot of money."
A captivating smile touched Nuwa's lips, and her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with admiration.
She couldn't deduce exactly who it was either, but she didn't need to.
Who else could be so highly regarded by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and who would be willing to stand up for the human race, besides that little guy whom she herself found somewhat unfathomable?
Chen Changsheng.
This is the husband of his disciple Yang Chan.
Thinking about this made Nuwa even happier.
My disciple has a really good eye.
When she took Yang Chan as her disciple, she valued Yang Chan's potential and also wanted to use Yang Chan's relationship with Chen Changsheng to forge a positive connection with this unpredictable individual.
In retrospect, this move was absolutely the right one.
"With the blessing of the human race upon him, his cultivation level is likely to experience a surge."
Nuwa thought to herself.
"That's good. The stronger he is, the safer Chan'er will be. Our demon race will also have more protection during the great calamity."
Nuwa's feelings about the Investiture of the Gods were actually quite complex.
She is both a sage of the Xuanmen sect and a sage of the demon race.
On the Investiture of the Gods, a large portion of the divine positions were prepared for her former demon subordinates.
She did not want to see the demon race slaughtered again, but she was powerless to change the course of fate.
But Chen Changsheng's appearance gave her a glimmer of hope.
This unconventional guy might actually be able to change something.
Nuwa's gaze pierced through the endless void and landed in the direction of the Fire Cloud Cave, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation.
Meanwhile, inside the Fire Cloud Cave...
Chen Changsheng was completely unaware of the reactions of the saints outside.
His entire being was immersed in that painful yet exhilarating transformation.
Under his guidance, the immense human destiny was no longer a raging torrent, but transformed into the purest energy, washing over his body again and again, tempering his primordial spirit, and solidifying his foundation.
He could clearly feel that the bottleneck of his already extremely solid Hunyuan Golden Immortal was making a "crackling" sound.
Like an eggshell about to break.
Just one more hit!
"Break for me!"
Chen Changsheng let out a silent roar of anger in his heart.
He mobilized all the power within him, along with the immense human destiny, converging them into an invincible torrent that crashed fiercely against the final barrier!
Click!
A crisp sound, as if it came from the depths of the soul, exploded in Chen Changsheng's sea of consciousness!
The seemingly indestructible bottleneck of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm that had troubled him for so long finally shattered under the combined impact of the human race's fortune and his own Dao fruit!
Rumble!
An unprecedentedly powerful force, like a volcanic eruption, burst forth from his body!
The meridians, which had already been stretched to their limit, were completely opened up at this moment. The magical power surged and roared like a river bursting its banks, instantly filling every corner.
His aura began to rise rapidly at an alarming rate!
Mid-stage Primordial Golden Immortal!
In the instant of his breakthrough, his cultivation level was immediately stabilized at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!
But this is far from over!
Most of the human fortune that surged into his body had not yet been digested.
At this moment, with the shattering of the bottleneck, this power of fortune seemed to have found an outlet, surging even more frantically into his limbs and bones, merging into his Dao Fruit and primordial spirit.
