The Faith Power Phenomenon
At the same time, a glint flashed in Fuxi's eyes. The Primordial Ancestral Qi within him had changed once again.
"What is this?"
Fuxi looked within himself and saw the mass of Primordial Ancestral Qi floating in the void, with several streams of Qi flowing toward it.
After the Primordial Ancestral Qi devoured these streams, it suddenly swelled.
The Hongmeng Scripture Fuxi cultivated was a mythic Great Luo Method, and what he needed now was the Power of Destiny and Faith Power.
The power of laws was an unexpected windfall!
And these streams of Qi that had now appeared were clearly Faith Power!!!
With Faith Power added to it, the Primordial Ancestral Qi grew ever more complete.
Fuxi's own strength also soared!!!
"Why isn't big brother saying anything?"
"Big brother, say something!"
The Ancestral Witches stared straight at the interested gaze Fuxi cast their way, and one by one, they all turned into gourds with their mouths sawed shut.
Who could have imagined that the fellows who would one day dominate half the Primordial World and strike terror into countless members of the demon race at the mere mention of their names had a side like this?
After a long while, Fuxi opened his eyes and said, "My name is Fuxi."
A smile lingered at the corners of his eyes as he stood in the mortal world in white robes. With his presence withdrawn, he seemed to have become an ordinary person again.
"Greetings, big brother Fuxi!"
Just like that, Fuxi had gained a band of little brothers.
The feeling was different from what he felt with Nuwa.
He and Nuwa had been born from the same origin, and even without a word, they could feel what the other felt.
But at this moment, he had no fundamental connection to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who had been formed from Pangu Blood Essence.
Yet they were still so close to him.
Fuxi felt a sense of kinship, but also found it somewhat wondrous.
"The Primordial World is governed by cause and effect. Since you've called me big brother, I should naturally give you some gifts for our first meeting!"
Fuxi spread his hand, and twelve Dao Patterns appeared in his palm.
"These are called Dao Patterns. I refined them from the essence of laws. By imprinting one upon your body, you can use the corresponding law."
"If you take a Dao Pattern into the depths of your origin, you can use the law to reshape your origin and reopen your path of cultivation."
"If this method succeeds, you will become a Daluo Golden Immortal the moment your cultivation path reopens."
The moment Fuxi finished speaking, the Ancestral Witches' burning gazes seemed capable of setting heaven and earth ablaze.
No, Zhurong was already on fire!
"Big brother! Come on! I can do it!!!"
The Ancestral Witches' blood was already running hot.
Cultivating laws was extraordinarily difficult to begin with. Only a few hundred yuanhui had passed since the Twelve Ancestral Witches gained consciousness, and even now they had grasped only the barest sliver of their laws.
Now, a complete law was within their reach.
Granted, the path of cultivating laws was fraught with danger.
The slightest mistake would send all their cultivation down the drain.
And the Twelve Ancestral Witches had yet to take form; they possessed only their origins.
Even though they were highly compatible with these laws and favored by the providence of the Heavenly Dao,
Even Great God Pangu had fallen on the path of cultivating laws.
As for these audacious souls, who possessed only their origins and no cultivation, yet still dared to attempt to recast their origins with laws,
The slightest error would leave them with no fate but to have their very origins utterly obliterated within the laws.
But what was there to fear?
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had been formed from Pangu Blood Essence.
As Pangu's descendants, they would never fear anything!
To hear the Dao in the morning and die in the evening was enough!
The Ancestral Witches' resolve and burning blood seemed ready to set heaven and earth ablaze!
Even Fuxi was shaken by such determination!
He had created this method of cultivating with Dao Patterns.
Fuxi naturally knew every danger it contained.
Yet the Twelve Ancestral Witches had entrusted him with their complete trust after hearing only his brief explanation.
The innocent hearts behind that trust were truly rare on the Primordial Continent!
With such a mindset as they refined the laws in the Dao Patterns, how could they fail?
A Daluo Golden Immortal of this kind could match a Quasi-Sage in actual combat!
Twelve law Dao Patterns circled Fuxi, making him look even more unfathomable and mysterious.
Fuxi waved his hand, sending each of the twelve Dao Patterns into its corresponding cocoon enveloping an Ancestral Witch.
"Calm your minds, steady your Qi, and comprehend them carefully."
These twelve Dao Patterns were formed from the essence of laws!
Each contained a complete law, as well as Fuxi's own insights into that law.
They were naturally beyond precious.
At the thought that Fuxi had been willing to give them such things, the Ancestral Witches' hearts filled with trust and gratitude.
With firm resolve, the Ancestral Witches each calmed their minds and devoted themselves to comprehending the rare Dao Patterns within their reach.
Time passed slowly, and the activity around the twelve great cocoons gradually subsided.
But the calm did not last long.
The wind rose!
The rain poured!
Wind and clouds churned, and strange phenomena sprang forth!
Above every great cocoon, phenomena of laws unfolded!
Above one cocoon, wind and rain raged, snowflakes scattered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, while mist spread out and shrouded it from view!
Another cocoon seemed to shift near and far, grow large and small, infinitely vast one moment and infinitely tiny the next, unbound by the space around it!
At the site of another cocoon came the sound of flowing water. The long river of time flickered in and out of sight as the cocoon plunged into it, then emerged again!
As mentioned earlier, these law Dao Patterns were formed from the essence of laws. Across the vast Primordial Continent, only Fuxi knew how to condense laws into Dao Patterns.
Besides the method used by the Ancestral Witches, who took the Dao Patterns into their origins and recast those origins with laws,
There was another method.
One could imprint a law Dao Pattern upon the body and directly use the corresponding law.
But this method did not grant a deep understanding of the law, and could not be used to attain the Great Dao!
Still, it had its advantages.
As long as the body of the person receiving the law Dao Patterns was tough enough, the Dao Patterns of all three thousand laws could be imprinted across their body.
Looking across the Primordial Continent, so far, the only one whose physical body could meet this requirement
Was the fallen Great God Pangu.
And Fuxi in the future!
To the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Fuxi, who had given them these laws directly, had undoubtedly become the person they trusted most.
An ever-greater tide of Faith Power surged toward Fuxi, carrying an unending flow of goodwill and admiration.
The Primordial Ancestral Qi devoured all this Faith Power without the slightest hesitation. Fuxi's strength rose steadily once more, while his presence grew increasingly settled and restrained.
But Faith Power had its limits. The Twelve Ancestral Witches of today were not the numerous Witch Clan of later ages, after all.
So, after he had absorbed Faith Power for a while, everything returned to calm!
Thus, at a glance, Fuxi would only seem to be an ordinary living being who had taken form by sheer luck.
At this moment, however, Fuxi was somewhat surprised.
"What is this?"
A distinct trace of presence was mixed into the Faith Power.
It kept the vast mass of Faith Power from taking shape, leaving it loose and scattered.
It seemed to foreshadow the Witch Clan's later fate: appearing capable of unifying the Primordial World, only to fail.
Fuxi drew out that trace of presence, and with the Chaotic Bagua, he came to understand the whole reason.
Order reigned between heaven and earth.
The Witch Clan of the future would continue to grow, igniting countless wars across the Primordial World and consuming the providence between heaven and earth.
The entire land would be shrouded in the bloody air of slaughter.
Thus, the Heavenly Dao would send down a calamity, and the order between heaven and earth would be restored!
Although the Witch Clan had yet to be born, the root of its troubles had already been planted.
The Witch Clan, with its volatile tempers and blunt, direct nature, was bound to walk that path.
It would naturally incur the Heavenly Dao's unseen displeasure.
No wonder the Faith Power had failed to condense and take shape.
The more firmly Faith Power condensed and took shape, the more effective it naturally was for his Primordial Ancestral Qi.
And among the countless races of the Primordial World, the one whose Faith Power most readily condensed was the Human Race, which would be born from Nuwa's hands in the future.
The Human Race was the best source of Faith Power!
But at present, the Primordial Continent was still in the midst of the Dragon-Han Calamity, and his little sister had yet to take form.
So there was no Human Race to speak of yet.
