Even with a magic treasure, you need to survive to take it

Liu Feng, having made his decision, looked at his master with a completely changed gaze—his expression lost its reverence, replaced by a hint of something unreadable.

Heh heh. Though I am your disciple.

But as things stand now, I'll nurture you first. Once you become a Sage, the strongest among the Six Sages, and even take control of the Human Path in the future, I'll truly have nothing to worry about. Still, if I manage to draw a Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff 2.0 or even higher later on, my own strength could advance rapidly—maybe I won't have to rely on my master after all.

After all, true power lies in one's own strength. As the saying goes, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. The reason he had this thought now was that he had glimpsed the future—his master was already a confirmed Sage-level powerhouse.

That was why he considered latching onto her. But if his own strength eventually matched or even surpassed hers, that would be the real peace of mind.

For now, though, it wasn't possible. Even with the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff and the Mythic Method, Liu Feng still felt his progress was far too slow!

Seeing his master's strength advancing so rapidly, he naturally wanted to speed up her development. At least in the Primordial World, that would be a form of security, wouldn't it?

Once his master became a Sage, he would have nothing left to fear.

And it had to be said—Liu Feng's ambitions were quite large.

He actually wanted Nuwa to take control of the Human Path. Among the Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, although the Heavenly Dao was the strongest, the Human Path was no slouch. If Nuwa truly mastered it, she would even have the capital to go head-to-head with the Heavenly Dao, and might not be weaker than the Dao Ancestor, Hong Jun.

If that came to pass, Liu Feng, as Nuwa's disciple, would truly have the capital to strut unopposed across the Primordial World.

However, controlling the Human Path was no easy feat.

At this point, it was the dawn of the Primordial World. The Heavenly Dao itself was incomplete, let alone the Earthly Path and the Human Path.

They had yet to emerge—or rather, they had not truly manifested.

One must understand that the Primordial World was woven from three thousand laws, formed when the Great God Pangu split the chaos, shattering it into this vast and boundless realm.

Within the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Path, and Human Path were intricately connected, influencing one another and maintaining a delicate balance.

The Heavenly Dao represented the rules governing the world's operation—like a vast and precise legal code, controlling the laws and principles behind all things.

It functioned as the central nervous system of the universe, silently orchestrating the trajectories of stars, the cycle of seasons, and the shifts of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

The Earthly Path symbolized the vast domain of the material world, encompassing all tangible things between heaven and earth—the boundless land, radiant celestial bodies, and endless oceans. These were the foundations upon which all life depended, together forming a rich and diverse material home.

As for the Human Path, it embodied the various activities of intelligent beings and the boundless wisdom within them.

This included the hundred races such as the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan, as well as the Witch and Demon Clans, and later the gradually rising human race.

These three paths, though interdependent and indispensable, each maintained a relative independence—like three pillars supporting the stability and development of the entire Primordial World.

Yet this balance was not static; it required constant refinement and adjustment over the long ages to adapt to the world's evolution and changes.

Within this vast Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao was like a grand and mysterious edifice, yet it could never achieve true perfection.

Its internal management was chaotic, like the parts of a massive machine failing to coordinate precisely.

The so-called spokespersons of the Heavenly Dao each harbored their own ulterior motives and hidden agendas.

For this reason, the Heavenly Dao had no choice but to rely on the repeated, earth-shattering Tribulations of Calamity to purge its redundant information and erroneous data, thereby maintaining the delicate balance of the entire system.

The Earthly Path, like the solid foundation of this vast world, silently bore everything.

Yet over time, it was continuously consumed and weakened.

Meanwhile, the vibrant and active living beings, instead of delving into the profound laws contained within the Earthly Path, poured all their energy into fierce struggles over the right to interpret the Heavenly Dao.

This misplaced focus left the Earthly Path increasingly fragile, forming a vicious cycle from which it was hard to escape.

The Human Path, as a symbol of intelligent life and wisdom, held significant influence over both the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Path.

Whether it was the once-glorious Three Clans, the mighty Witch and Demon Clans, or the later-rising humans and other intelligent beings, not only did they fail to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Earthly Path, but they too were drawn into the brutal vortex of contention over the Heavenly Dao's interpretation.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao could only repeatedly initiate the Tribulation of Calamity process to clear the "garbage" from its "memory."

Over time, the end result was the Heavenly Dao teetering on the brink of collapse.

For this very reason, the Heavenly Dao would not allow anyone to touch the Human Path—because once the Human Path was controlled, its order would shift according to the controller's will. That would be far from good for the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Path. Even letting it develop freely could force the Heavenly Dao to constantly launch Tribulations of Calamity, let alone having it fall under someone's control—that was absolutely not what the Heavenly Dao wanted.

It was like an emperor not wanting to see his ministers united.

Only by letting ministers compete and check each other could the emperor rest easy; otherwise, he would lose sleep.

If ministers united, they might form a powerful faction, threatening imperial authority, or even spark a coup.

Moreover, unity among ministers could breed internal conflicts and power struggles, destabilizing the court.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao absolutely forbade the Human Path from having a spokesperson or being controlled.

For this reason, becoming the spokesperson of the Human Path, let alone truly mastering it, was no easy task—its difficulty was beyond imagination.

Even for someone as extraordinary as Hong Jun, who went through countless hardships to successfully merge with the Dao and become the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson, controlling the Human Path would be billions of times harder!

Still, that was a matter for the future. For now, the Earthly Path and Human Path were likely nothing more than hazy consciousnesses. Planning anything regarding them was still far off.

Liu Feng felt his wandering thoughts had strayed too far. For now, the important thing was figuring out how to make his master stronger.

After all, the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation might not have even happened yet—or perhaps it already had, and Liu Feng simply didn't know.

Speaking of which, that was actually a good thing. Although Mount Buzhou was filled with opportunities, because it was formed from Pangu's spine, it exuded an immense pressure. Most living beings couldn't even approach it.

Not to mention that Mount Buzhou was the territory of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, with the entire foothills belonging to the Witch Clan. To get near Mount Buzhou, one had to pass through Witch Clan lands. For that reason alone, most living beings dared not make a move.

This is precisely why it is extremely safe here.

Even if the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans fight to the death, the flames of war will not reach this place.

Even in this era, so what if the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans are the protagonists?

No matter how powerful they become, they cannot influence the Ancestral Witches, let alone Mount Buzhou.

As for participating in the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation—ha! Ha! There's a limit to joking.

With Liu Feng's current strength, even being cannon fodder would be an overestimation; the enemy likely wouldn't even bother with him as a meal.

Even if his Fortune defies the heavens and he occasionally obtains treasures and heavenly materials, so what?

Having the life to take them but not to spend them—it would only be making a wedding dress for someone else.

The most important thing now is to nurture his own master. Once his master becomes strong, he can truly walk the Primordial World and plunder all kinds of heavenly materials and treasures.

He must become a true Treasure Daoist!

Moreover, these heavenly materials and treasures are all points!

Don't think the Card Draw Group only has four card pools now—they will definitely increase in the future. Then, there will be even better things to draw. Correspondingly, the points required for the card pools will certainly increase as well. Therefore, as long as a heavenly material or treasure has value, naturally, he cannot let it go.

Looking at the Five-Colored Pool Water before him, Liu Feng's heart stirred. Could this water also be worth a considerable number of points?
