Dayi's gossip had not been investigated too deeply by Feng Xi.
His strength did not allow it, and there were more important things to do.
The Witch Clan's diplomatic visit would let him witness the vast world beyond, and perhaps he might even have the chance to get close to other Great Divine Ability Users and admire some great existences!
Though with his strength, he could only play a minor background role at such an occasion.
Even so, it was still a rare opportunity.
Feng Xi prepared with one hundred thousand percent effort.
"Clang!"
The heavy, solemn toll of a bell reverberated throughout Buzhou Mountain.
Brilliant radiance poured down, making the place sacred and extraordinary.
An enormous ceremonial procession had long since been fully prepared.
When the bell rang out across heaven and earth, it was like a signal. Divine dragons roared and pulled the carriages, which rose straight into the firmament, riding the winds and driving the thunder, surrounded by tens of thousands of fierce warriors and fiends arrayed in formation!
This was the Witch Clan's visiting party.
The two Ancestral Witches—Dijiang and Houtu—had set out in their true forms. They would travel throughout the Primordial World, visiting one Great Divine Ability User after another and establishing cooperative relationships with them.
Since they represented the entire Witch Clan, the procession naturally could not be modest... This reflected both the exalted status of the Ancestral Witches and their respect for the Great Divine Ability Users they were visiting, highlighting the formality of the trip.
Of the hundreds of thousands of Witch Clan warriors brought along to make up the numbers, not a single one was below the Golden Immortal realm.
And above these warriors were the commanders of the witch army.
They had another title—Great Witches. They were beings whose status in the Witch Clan was second only to the Ancestral Witches.
Each Great Witch commanded one hundred thousand witch troops.
Several Great Witches were present here, their auras responding to one another... A light bloomed from within them and radiated outward, a light of eternal imperishability!
That light originated from the heart and from the Great Dao. It illuminated Endless Space-time, existing forever once it had appeared.
Great Luo!
Golden Immortals as soldiers, Great Luo as generals... How formidable was such a procession?
Only supreme and invincibly powerful beings like the Ancestral Witches could command it with ease and display their majesty.
This is how a real man should be.
Feng Xi gazed at them with envy and longing while carefully gripping the reins... He could feel the vast, boundless power on the other end, as if he were pulling enormous universes one after another, leaving him shaken to the core.
Even though he knew that every divine dragon pulling the carriage was extremely docile, the most direct comparison of power still kept this driver from remaining calm.
"The dragons pulling the carriage are all stronger than me. This makes no sense at all." The corner of Feng Xi's eye twitched nonstop. "Nine dragons, nine Taiyi!"
"Any one of them would be an overlord in the Primordial World..."
Taiyi beings evolved the embryonic form of an Ancestral Qi within their bodies. They could transform matter and Vital Energy, arrange the laws of the Great Dao, and construct all phenomena under heaven.
An ordinary one could establish an entire world of its own. The outstanding among them could even construct multiverses, displaying the full might of creation!
Even in a world like the Primordial World, whose rules and order were precise and rigorous to the extreme, they possessed supreme might. They were the strongest existences beneath the Grand Unity Supremes, who grasped authority over space-time and could overturn the past and future!
Yet now, such powerhouses were pulling a carriage.
"Heaven help me, I'm only a Golden Immortal." Feng Xi grumbled inwardly. "It's perfectly normal for the carriage to be more valuable than the driver... But why does this make me so sad?"
Being able to serve as Ancestral Witch Dijiang's driver instead of following the other soldiers was originally something worth celebrating.
But truly sensing the disparity in strength made it impossible to feel happy.
Fortunately, before long, Feng Xi pulled himself together and changed his mindset. A trace of Spiritual Will followed the reins and spread into one of the True Dragons at the Taiyi level, allowing him to study the principles behind the circulation of its magical power and glimpse the mysteries of Taiyi.
As the driver for a mighty giant, he could benefit immensely from casually seeing and learning even a few things.
While sensing his growing knowledge, widening horizons, and slowly but clearly rising cultivation and insight, he gazed across the Vast Primordial Era. After genuinely seeing the outside world for hundreds of years, Feng Xi was shaken from the deepest part of his soul—
The Primordial World—what a magnificent and majestic universe!
It appeared to be a single realm, but in truth, it was not.
The Primordial Continent alone was equivalent to countless universes smelted together!
Across that boundless land, enormous mountain ranges could occasionally be seen rising and falling, winding like dragons and stretching for hundreds of millions of li... Yet compared to the true size of this world, they could not even be called a small hill.
And even in such a remote corner, countless races and endless living beings made their homes.
Far too many divine dynasties stood throughout this place, with cultivators claiming territory and establishing themselves independently. Every kingdom had countless experts and occupied blessed lands and pure paradises one after another.
Feng Xi could see those divine dynasties waging war against one another. Armies made up of hundreds of thousands or even millions of cultivators confronted and charged each other, fighting to occupy better territory and seize more resources.
In the battles and conquests, some fell while others rose... Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were written into them, playing out a song of the mortal world.
Yet compared to the boundless vastness of this world and the endless eras rolling by with the flow of time, what did any of that amount to?
A speck of dust... Perhaps it did not even count as that.
This was the Primordial World as visible to a Golden Immortal, and it was already this magnificent and turbulent.
But could a Golden Immortal see the entire world?
Of course not.
Borrowing the power of the divine dragons pulling the carriage through his status as their driver, Feng Xi briefly gained a Taiyi perspective... Thus, he saw through the Rules of space, understood the mysteries of the laws of the universe and the arrangement of dimensions, and glimpsed an even more boundless heaven and earth.
All Heavens and All Realms!
Every speck of dust and sand, every flower, blade of grass, tree, and branch... Their essence all contained transcendent Dao Charm and radiance.
That was the manifestation of the Great Dao of the Primordial World.
And the Dao could give birth to all things, possessing endless creations.
Feng Xi focused his eyes and saw a flower.
It was a flower, yet it was also a real and genuine world.
One body, two aspects, existing side by side without contradiction.
Within the world inside this flower, there was likewise matter and Vital Energy, as well as myriad races and Myriad Spirits. There were likewise cultivators who pursued the truth of the Great Dao and embarked upon the path of cultivation... Though the Great Dao of this world contained only part of the complete principles of the true Primordial World and possessed its own limits.
Even so, the living beings within it were not without hope of continually ascending toward eternity. So long as they reached the peak of their world and then made one final leap, breaking through the surging sea of space, they could "ascend" to the Primordial World, the source of everything, and begin a brand-new life!
And how many worlds like this were there?
They were infinite, endless, and impossible for Feng Xi to count even over the course of his entire life.
They, too, were part of this Vast Primordial Era.
Such a heaven and earth was called—the Primordial World!
For the first time, the vastness of the universe and the breadth of the worlds formed the most direct impression in Feng Xi's mind.
In a manner that swept away all obstacles, it proclaimed its own existence, displaying such vastness and such vibrant diversity!
"Are you very surprised? Do you think this is the entirety of the Primordial World?" Ancestral Witch Dijiang sensed the violent change in Feng Xi's heart and smiled faintly. "No. This actually still doesn't count."
