Chapter 149 Encountering an Acquaintance
"Hmm, enlightenment?"
"I've only been gone a short while, and he's already entered enlightenment. That's too fast!"
After a while, Mo Zhang picked nine yellow plums from the tree and returned. Seeing the Daoist aura flowing around Feng Zichen, who was clearly immersed in the Great Dao, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Sigh! No wonder His Majesty often praises this talented man. He truly surpasses us." With a sigh, Mo Zhang silently stepped aside to protect Feng Zichen from being disturbed by outsiders.
"Hoo!"
Two hundred years later, Feng Zichen exhaled a long breath, waking up from his enlightenment and slowly opening his eyes.
"Thank you for protecting me, fellow Daoist!" Standing up, straightening his clothes, Feng Zichen stepped forward and thanked Mo Zhang.
"No problem!" Mo Zhang smiled, took out the Huangzhong plum, and handed it to Feng Zichen, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this is the Huangzhong plum His Majesty ordered for you. Please accept it."
"Thank you. Since it is a generous gift from Zu Lin, then I cannot be polite." The Huangzhong plum was about the size of a fist, shaped like a pearl, emitting an alluring fragrance with a strange temptation that made Feng Zichen's mouth water.
However, this thing was of great use to the human race, capable of creating nine Taiyi Golden Immortals. He could not swallow it for his own appetite; that would be too wasteful.
Suddenly, Feng Zichen had an idea and quickly transmitted all the effects and characteristics of the Huangzhong plum to Xuanqing, who was far away in Kunlun Mountain.
The Taiqing Saint was the number one alchemist in the Primordial World, and Xuanqing, as His descendant, could not waste such a resource.
Perhaps he could consult Him to see if he could use the Huangzhong plum as the main ingredient to develop a pill, thus maximizing the value of the Huangzhong plum.
"Fellow Daoist, now that this matter is settled, I should take my leave. I must travel to the North Sea later to visit His Majesty Xuanwu, so I cannot linger here any longer." Having accepted the Yellow Plum, Feng Zichen cupped his hands in farewell to Mo Zhang.
"Fellow Daoist has matters to attend to, so I will not detain you further. Please allow me to escort you out." The Qilin Clan's location was extremely secluded; without Mo Zhang's guidance, Feng Zichen was truly unsure how to escape.
…
Leaving the Qilin Clan's secluded abode, it took Feng Zichen nearly a hundred years to finally leave the area of Buzhou Mountain.
"Perhaps no one could have imagined that such a powerful Buzhou Mountain would one day be smashed to pieces by Gonggong!" Looking back at Buzhou Mountain one last time, Feng Zichen used his Great Luo privilege to traverse beyond space and time, heading towards the North Sea.
Buzhou Mountain suppressed everything; whether a Sage could perform space-time teleportation near it, Feng Zichen was unsure, but a Great Luo Golden Immortal certainly couldn't, and he certainly couldn't.
Beyond the boundaries of space and time, time stood still, the void remained motionless, all things ceased to exist, and silence reigned. Only Feng Zichen's hurried figure rushed towards the Northern Underworld.
However, just as Feng Zichen passed through a certain place, five powerful auras suddenly surged forth, colliding fiercely. This caused space and time to tremble violently, becoming distorted and chaotic, terrifying and horrifying.
"This is... five Grand Luo Golden Immortals fighting!" Shocked, Feng Zichen immediately stopped.
"Wait, why are there two Grand Luo Golden Immortal auras? They vaguely feel familiar, but when did I meet two Grand Luo Golden Immortals?"
After carefully sensing for a while, Feng Zichen discovered that he seemed to have seen two of the five auras somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. They can't be important figures; otherwise, why wouldn't I remember them?" Frowning and thinking, Feng Zichen couldn't think of anything, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Not wanting to cause further trouble, he turned and headed elsewhere, intending to bypass the area.
Anything that could provoke a fight between five Grand Luo Golden Immortals was no ordinary matter; as a mere fake Grand Luo, it was best for him to stay out of it, lest he gain nothing and only cause more trouble.
However, he hadn't gone far when the Grand Luo Golden Immortals ahead seemed to have grown increasingly agitated, their attacks becoming more forceful. Supreme Daoist energy permeated the air, beams of light piercing through the past, illuminating the future, and striking beyond the boundaries of spacetime.
Under the influence of this power, spacetime began to collapse on a massive scale, forming a colossal spacetime storm that forcibly squeezed Feng Zichen out from outside of spacetime.
"Not good!"
"Chaos Pearl, suppress it!"
The moment Feng Zichen stepped outside the spatial dimension, he sensed something amiss. Five divine abilities carrying terrifying power were hurtling towards him.
Without time to think, he roared inwardly and summoned the Chaos Pearl, which unleashed strands of dark light, enveloping and protecting him.
Simultaneously, the Chaos Pearl shone brightly, its surface radiating chaotic Dao patterns, freezing the surrounding spacetime and creating numerous obstacles to weaken the power of the five divine abilities.
Boom…
Five earth-shattering roars echoed as the five divine abilities surged forth with overwhelming force, shattering the surrounding spacetime and repeatedly striking the light barrier descending from the Chaos Pearl, shattering it inch by inch.
Seeing the light barrier continuously crumble, Feng Zichen's expression turned grave. He mobilized all his magical power, pouring it into the Chaos Pearl. At the same time, he flashed and hid inside the Chaos Pearl.
"Buzz!"
After a moment of trembling, the Chaos Pearl suddenly shot out ten thousand rays of divine light, ancient and vibrant, a vast expanse of gray. This was the Chaos Divine Light, capable of destroying all things and returning them to chaos. Upon its appearance, it collided fiercely with the five divine powers.
The clash between the Grand Luo Golden Immortals was naturally astonishing.
Instantly, the world changed color, space and time vanished, the laws of heaven and earth shattered one after another, and chaotic energy surged out, engulfing all directions, making everything invisible.
"Cough, cough, what bad luck!"
After a moment, when the residual power dissipated, Feng Zichen stepped out of the Chaos Pearl, unable to help but cough twice and complain.
At this moment, he understood exactly what had happened. After emerging from outside space and time, he had actually appeared directly on the battlefield, right in the center of the clash between the five divine powers.
That's why everything that had just happened had occurred.
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?"
"Who dares to interfere in my affairs?"
In the midst of the fierce battle, the sudden appearance of another person on the battlefield naturally attracted the attention of the five, who all asked questions.
"Hehe, what a coincidence!"
Raising his head, Feng Zichen looked ahead, wanting to know which five Grand Luo Golden Immortals were fighting here. But upon seeing them, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Of these five Grand Luo Golden Immortals, three were from the Demonic Path, and two were from the Witch Clan. They stood on opposite sides, one to the east and one to the west, glaring at each other, clearly harboring deep resentment.
However, this wasn't the reason for Feng Zichen's laughter; rather, it was because he recognized some of his acquaintances on both sides of the battlefield.
One of the two Witch Clan members was Kuafu.
And among the three Demonic Path members was the World-Destroying Daoist.
At this moment, both of them had already entered the Grand Luo realm, causing a drastic change in their auras, with only a trace of their former selves remaining.
Therefore, Feng Zichen didn't recognize them at first.
