Having made up his mind, Liu Feng's gaze at his master changed completely. There was less respect in his expression and a trace of something indecipherable.
Hehe, although I am your disciple.
It seems that I should raise you first. Once you become a Sage, the strongest among the Six Sages, and perhaps even control the Human Path in the future, I'll truly be able to rest easy. Of course, if I draw Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff 2.0 or an even higher version someday, my own strength could improve rapidly too. Maybe I won't necessarily have to rely on my master.
After all, personal strength was the true path. As the saying went, relying on others was worse than relying on oneself. The reason he had such thoughts now was because he had seen the future: his master was destined to become a Sage.
That was why he wanted to cling to her thigh. If his strength could one day equal hers, or even surpass her, then he would truly be able to rest easy.
However, that was not possible yet. Although he had the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff and the Mythic Method, Liu Feng still felt that his strength was improving far too slowly!
Now that he saw his master's strength advancing so quickly, he naturally had to raise her as fast as possible. At the very least, he would have some protection in the Primordial World, wouldn't he?
Once his master became a Sage, there would be nothing left for him to fear.
Moreover, Liu Feng's ambitions were truly enormous.
He actually wanted Nuwa to control the Human Path. Of the Heaven, Earthly, and Human Paths, the Heavenly Dao was the strongest, but the Human Path was no weaker. If Nuwa truly controlled the Human Path—
Then she would have the capital to directly contend with the Heavenly Dao, perhaps even rivaling Dao Ancestor Hong Jun.
If that truly came to pass, Liu Feng, as Nuwa's disciple, would have the capital to swagger through the Primordial World.
However, how difficult would it be to control the Human Path?
This was the beginning of the Primordial World. Even the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, much less the Earthly Path and the Human Path.
Even now, they had not been born into the world—or rather, they had not truly been born into the world.
One had to know that the Primordial World was a vast and boundless world formed when Great God Pangu split open chaos and chaos shattered, constructed from the interweaving of three thousand laws.
Within the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Path, and Human Path were connected in countless ways. They influenced one another and maintained a delicate balance.
The Heavenly Dao represented the rules governing the world's operation. It was like a massive, precise code of laws, controlling the patterns and principles by which all things moved.
It was like the central nervous system of the universe, silently directing the paths of the stars, the changing seasons, and the transformations of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
The Earthly Path symbolized the vast domain of the material world, encompassing every tangible thing between heaven and earth: the boundless land, glittering celestial bodies, vast oceans, and more. These were the foundations upon which all living beings depended, jointly forming a rich and colorful material homeland.
As for the Human Path, it embodied the various activities of intelligent beings and the endless wisdom contained within them.
This included the hundred clans such as the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan, as well as the Wu and Yao Clans, along with the human race that gradually rose later.
Though these three depended on one another and none could be absent, they each retained relative independence. Like three pillars, they supported the stability and development of the entire Primordial World.
However, this balance was not unchanging. It needed constant refinement and adjustment over the long years to adapt to the world's evolution and transformations.
In the vast Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao was like a majestic yet mysterious building, but it could never achieve true perfection.
Its internal management was utterly chaotic, like the parts of a massive machine failing to coordinate with precision.
The so-called spokespersons of the Heavenly Dao each harbored their own schemes and concealed selfish desires.
For this very reason, the Heavenly Dao had no choice but to rely on one shocking Tribulation of Calamity after another to purge its redundant information and erroneous data, thereby maintaining the delicate balance of the entire system.
The Earthly Path was like the solid foundation of this vast world, silently bearing everything.
However, as time passed, it was continually consumed and weakened.
At the same time, those vibrant and lively beings did not devote themselves to deeply studying the profound laws contained within the Earthly Path. Instead, they poured all their energy into fiercely fighting over the right to interpret the Heavenly Dao.
This behavior of abandoning the root to pursue the branches made the Earthly Path increasingly frail, creating a vicious cycle that was difficult to escape.
As the symbol of intelligent beings' activities and wisdom, the Human Path exerted a crucial influence over both the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Path.
Whether it was the once-glorious Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, the incomparably powerful Wu Yao, or all manner of intelligent beings such as the later-rising human race, none of them shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the Earthly Path. Instead, they too were swept into the cruel whirlpool of fighting over the right to interpret the Heavenly Dao.
Thus, the Heavenly Dao could only activate the Tribulation of Calamity process time and time again, clearing out the "garbage" in its "memory."
Over time, the final result would be the Heavenly Dao approaching the brink of collapse.
That was precisely why the Heavenly Dao would not allow anyone to touch the Human Path—once the Human Path was controlled, its order would change according to its controller's thoughts. This was absolutely not a good thing for either the Heavenly Dao or the Earthly Path. Even allowing it to develop freely might force the Heavenly Dao to constantly initiate Tribulations of Calamity, much less allowing someone to control it. That was definitely not something the Heavenly Dao wished to see.
It was like an emperor not wishing to see his ministers united as one.
Only by making his ministers compete and check one another could an emperor rest easy. Otherwise, he might be unable to sleep at night.
If the ministers united as one, they might form a powerful faction that threatened imperial authority, perhaps even leading to usurpation.
Moreover, unity among ministers could breed internal conflicts and struggles for power, plunging the court into turmoil.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao would absolutely not allow the Human Path to have a spokesperson or be controlled by anyone.
For that reason, becoming the spokesperson of the Human Path, let alone truly controlling it, was no easy matter. Its difficulty was simply beyond imagination.
Even for someone as extraordinary as Hong Jun, who had endured countless hardships to successfully merge with the Dao and become the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, controlling the Human Path would be billions upon billions of times more difficult than that!
However, those were matters for the future. Right now, the Earthly Path and Human Path were probably only vague consciousnesses. It was still far too early to make any plans concerning them.
Liu Feng felt that the goals of his wild thoughts were too distant. What mattered now was figuring out how to make his master stronger.
After all, the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation had not even happened yet—or perhaps it had already happened, and Liu Feng simply did not know.
Come to think of it, that was also a good thing. Although Mount Buzhou contained countless opportunities, it was formed from Pangu's spine and possessed immense pressure. Ordinary beings could not even approach it, much less ascend it.
Not to mention that Mount Buzhou was the territory of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The land at its foot was entirely Witch Clan territory. To approach Mount Buzhou, one had to pass through Witch Clan territory. That alone was enough to keep ordinary beings from daring to make the slightest move.
That was precisely why this place was very safe.
Even if the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans fought each other to the death, the flames of war would not reach this place.
So what if the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans were the protagonists of this era?
No matter how powerful they were, they could not affect the Ancestral Witches, much less Mount Buzhou.
As for participating in the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, hehe! Hehe! There had to be a limit to jokes.
With Liu Feng's measly strength, they probably would not even want him as a delivery boy. He did not even qualify as cannon fodder.
Even if his luck defied heaven and he could occasionally obtain magical treasures and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so what?
Having the life to take them but not the life to use them would only mean making a wedding dress for someone else.
What mattered most now was raising his master. Once his master became powerful, he would be able to truly travel the Primordial World and gather all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
He wanted to become a Treasure Daoist in name and in truth!
Moreover, these heavenly materials and earthly treasures were all points!
The Card Draw Group only had four card pools now, but there would definitely be more in the future. At that time, there would be even more good things to draw, and naturally, the card pools would require even more points. Therefore, he certainly could not pass up any valuable heavenly materials or earthly treasures.
Looking at the Five-Colored Pool Water before him, Liu Feng's heart stirred. Could this water be worth quite a few points as well?
