Shocking! Dao Patterns
A phantom suddenly appeared as Fuxi contemplated the Law of Force.
It held a giant axe, roared furiously at the heavens, and swung with all its might.
All at once, it was as though rocks shattered and the heavens were shaken.
The world seemed to fill with chaos, then the heavens grew clear and the earth turbid, as though heaven and earth were being opened anew.
This scene stirred the Heavenly Dao.
Myriad living beings seemed to sense something at that moment and looked up toward Buzhou Mountain.
Most were utterly bewildered.
Only on a lofty mountain rich in spiritual Qi, an elderly man in purple robes, holding half of the Jade Disc of Good Fortune, abruptly raised his head!
"Pangu!!!"
This elder was none other than Old Daoist Hongjun, whose name would shake the world in later ages.
At that moment, sensing that subtle change in Qi, his mind was shaken and could find no rest.
Without hesitation, he activated the Jade Disc of Good Fortune he held, conjuring Boundless Xuan Guang that formed a painting of the Primordial World before his eyes.
Through this painting, Hongjun seemed able to see into every corner of heaven and earth and discern every detail.
But when he fixed his gaze on Buzhou Mountain, a piercing, sharp force suddenly surged forth, drawing a scream from him.
He was a mighty Quasi-Sage, and in the present Primordial World, only Luohu and Yang Mei were his match.
Yet now he had suffered such a setback, leaving his mind reeling.
"Who was it?"
He let out a low growl and probed again.
But at that moment, the image woven from Boundless Xuan Guang shattered with a crash, leaving Hongjun staring blankly.
The vision appeared for only an instant before scattering on the wind.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had already been shaken to their cores under the pressure of the Law of Force. Now, a wave of horror and... submission welled up from the depths of their hearts!
The Witch Clan revered neither heaven nor earth, honoring Pangu alone!
This Law of Force and the vision of Pangu opening the heavens were enough to make them react this way!
They looked at Fuxi, who was gradually mastering the Law of Force, and their expressions slowly changed.
Fuxi, however, felt there was nothing special about the Law of Force.
He only felt that there was no obstacle at all; it came as naturally as a channel forming where water flowed.
He opened his eyes, and every vision vanished.
An indescribable force surged within him.
"Hmph!"
With that single cold snort, waves of force rolled outward in every direction, and fierce winds rose, tearing countless mountain forests to shreds!
The whole of Buzhou Mountain shook several times.
The Law of Force was terrifying indeed!
"This really is the Law of Force!!! It's only been such a short time, and he's already mastered it!!!"
Houtu cried out!
"Even we, the descendants of Pangu, can't grasp the slightest bit of its true meaning. How can he do it?"
"Before this, he was clearly a fellow without any cultivation. How can he be so formidable now?"
"Though we have no primordial spirits, we aren't blind fools."
"This person is so mysterious. Just where did he come from???"
By now, the Ancestral Witches no longer harbored any killing intent toward Fuxi. His many mysteries had become the foremost matter for them to investigate.
Whether the Ancestral Witches' killing intent was fixed on him or had suddenly dissipated, it made no difference to Fuxi.
Now that he had successfully mastered the Law of Force, his journey had not been in vain.
But just as he turned to leave, the image of Nuwa's tender, affectionate manner when he left surfaced in his mind.
He could not help smiling as he began to consider the matter.
His little sister Nuwa might one day become a Heavenly Dao Sage, but her cultivation would still rank at the bottom among the sages.
Merit Attainment of Sainthood had its drawbacks, after all!
And because she lacked strength, the other sages looked down on her. The human race she had created with her own hands was swept into the Tribulation of heaven and earth, and the other sages divided up the humans' faith.
As if that were not enough, during the Investiture of the Gods in later ages, a mighty sage was actually schemed against and made into the spark that set off a Tribulation.
In the end, the root cause was that Nuwa was not strong enough.
If my little sister could also master the Law of Force, would things still turn out the same way in the future??
But for Nuwa, who presided over the Dao of Good Fortune and Creation, to comprehend the Law of Force was undoubtedly a tale from the Arabian Nights!
If there were a way for my little sister to use the Law of Force directly...
A flash of inspiration crossed his mind!
Fuxi suddenly felt a stirring in his heart!
The Chaotic Bagua began to revolve frantically.
"What is he doing?" the Time Ancestral Witch, Zhu Jiuyin, asked.
Before Fuxi, the Primordial Eight Trigrams began to revolve once more.
Numerous Dao Rhymes seemed to intertwine, and transformations of the Law of Force emerged.
Fuxi moved his hand through the air, as though writing a character.
The law twisted and changed shape in Fuxi's hand. The surrounding space collapsed, and chaotic Qi leaked out.
The Law of Force, which could terrify a primordial spirit with one extra glance, became a harmless, utterly unremarkable character for "force" in Fuxi's hand.
This was a Dao Pattern, the first Dao Pattern in the Primordial World, one related to Great God Pangu—"force"!
As long as this Dao Pattern of Force was bestowed upon someone, that person would naturally be able to use the Law of Force.
Merit once again poured down from the sky, vast and majestic.
Across heaven and earth, flowers rained from the heavens and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.
This was Merit of the Heavenly Dao, something countless living beings on the Primordial Continent dreamed of obtaining.
Those who possessed Merit of the Heavenly Dao could cultivate a Merit Golden Wheel or condense an Auspicious Cloud, and would be protected by the Heavenly Dao.
The Tribulation could not touch them, and all evil was driven away!
Enough merit could also allow a cultivator to break through realms without worrying about hidden dangers.
When Nuwa created humans in later ages, she obtained that great merit and directly attained the Sage Fruit Position!
Although the merit Fuxi obtained this time could not compare in quantity to the merit from creating humans, it was enough to make others green with envy.
Under the gaze of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Fuxi summoned the Fuxi Qin.
Holding the qin in one hand, he used the other to guide all the Merit of the Heavenly Dao into these Magic Treasures.
Had outsiders seen such an act, they would surely have beaten their chests and stamped their feet, crying out that he was squandering a heavenly treasure!
Fuxi naturally had his reasons for doing this.
Good as the Merit of the Heavenly Dao was, it meant being bound by the Heavenly Dao, with one's every action and thought subject to the Will of Heaven.
Even those like the Three Pure Ones, who would become Heavenly Dao Sages in the future, would be no different from puppets of the Heavenly Dao!
Moreover, what he cultivated was the Mythological Great Luo Law Hongmeng Scripture, so this Merit of the Heavenly Dao was of no use to him whatsoever.
He might as well give the merit to his natal Magic Treasures and refine the Fuxi Qin into a more powerful Merit Magical Treasure.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches in the twelve great cocoons had long since been left dumbstruck by Fuxi's methods.
"A law can be used like that? It's simply inconceivable!"
"If we could master the Law of Force too, how incredible would that be?"
"No, once I succeed in taking form, I must go and seek his guidance."
