Yuan Feng Entrusts Her Children! Li Fire Source and Heart Blood!

As all the Merit had been distributed, the myriad phenomena gradually faded away, and Di Tian finished condensing the Merit Golden Light.

An oval Merit Golden Wheel, fully thirty inches across and seemingly tangible, appeared behind him.

At a glance, one could see within it the scene of the Ten Thousand Races kneeling in worship, the emergence of the inheritance of writing, and a sudden surge in blessed fortune.

The imperial aura Di Tian unconsciously exuded was concealed beneath the Merit Golden Wheel, becoming gentle and refined.

He looked every bit the elegant ruler.

"Come!"

With a slight lift of his hand, four Literary Dao merit artifacts slowly descended from the sky and arrived before Di Tian. They acknowledged him as their master, opening all their restrictions and allowing him to refine them in an instant.

The moment the merit artifacts recognized their master, the divine powers possessed by the four Literary Dao treasures flooded into his mind.

The Spiritual Text Scroll was a postnatal merit supreme treasure. It contained forty-nine postnatal restrictions and held a complete Literary Dao Law.

When facing enemies, refining artifacts, or cultivating, one could communicate with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Script recorded within it to kill, trap, enslave, command, defend... and perform all manner of operations.

It could truly be called Words Manifesting Law. So long as one's mana could sustain it, anything one could say could be done!

It was a symbol of the Literary Dao of Heaven and Earth, the finest choice for suppressing fortune!

If its holder chose to teach all living beings and spread the Dao, its power would continue to grow.

It was a divine object with limitless potential for growth!

The Five Elements Inkstone was a Top-Grade Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasure. It contained forty-eight postnatal restrictions and held complete Five Elements Law and Literary Dao Law.

It could manifest the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth to suppress all things and annihilate living beings!

The Zhou Tian Ink was a Top-Grade Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasure. It contained forty-eight postnatal restrictions, complete Star Law, and Literary Dao Law.

It could draw upon the power of the Zhou Tian Stars, condense ink from myriad stars, grant intelligence to all things, and bring understanding to sentient beings.

When used in talisman drawing, formation setting, artifact refining, alchemy... it could bestow the corresponding power of the Zhou Tian Stars upon the object!

The Starry Pen was a Top-Grade Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasure. It contained forty-eight postnatal restrictions, complete Myriad Phenomena Law, and Literary Dao Law.

It could command all phenomena of Heaven and Earth for one's own use. It could also write inscriptions pointing directly to the Origin of Heaven and Earth, temporarily mobilizing the power of Heaven and Earth and commanding the three thousand Laws!

When the Five Elements Inkstone, Zhou Tian Ink, and Starry Pen were used together for painting, writing, engraving...

Everything created could be turned from illusion into reality!

It truly allowed one to create things from nothing, turning whatever was imagined into reality.

With all four in hand, one would become the foremost figure of the Literary Dao, protected by Heaven and Earth and worshipped by Myriad Spirits and all living beings.

So long as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Script spread among all living beings, fortune would continuously gather upon the four treasures.

Once the holder's blessings had been depleted to a certain extent, they could consume the accumulated fortune to restore their lost blessings!

"As expected of artifacts born after being baptized by Heaven and Earth Merit following the creation of writing, symbols of the Literary Dao's emergence."

"Just their ability to continuously gather fortune is likely matched, throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness, only by the Human Race Supreme Treasure, the Kongtong Seal, in the future!"

"Not to mention their ability to compensate for the holder's depleted blessings using accumulated fortune."

"I doubt any artifact can compare to them in that regard!"

Di Tian put away the four merit artifacts. Overjoyed, he descended from the heavens with a radiant expression and arrived before Wang Shu and Yuan Feng.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Di Tian, on becoming the Myriad Races Saint Teacher and Supreme Literary Ancestor!"

"From this day forth, so long as the Ten Thousand Races endure, your fortune will never cease. I am truly envious."

As Yuan Feng watched Di Tian approach, the delight and excitement in her eyes grew increasingly intense.

Especially after noticing the change in his bearing, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng."

"I merely acted upon a sudden inspiration and succeeded by luck."

As Di Tian replied with a faint smile, bolstered by the Merit Golden Wheel, he saw traces of Baleful Qi and the gloom of Karmic Force within Yuan Feng's fortune.

He was slightly startled and immediately wished to take his leave, while a difficult-to-express doubt arose within him.

The Phoenix Race had clearly changed its strategy and no longer involved itself in the struggle for dominion over Heaven and Earth. Why had Baleful Qi and Karmic Force found them so quickly?

Could it be that the fate of the Three Races could not be changed?

Or had Luo Hou and Hong Jun made some move to force the Three Races back onto their original path?

"No matter what, it would be better to leave as soon as possible."

"At worst, when the Three Races Calamity reaches its final stage, when the secrets of Heaven become obscure and Cause and Effect cannot be deduced, I can discreetly remind Yuan Feng."

"So she can lead the Phoenix Race away early!"

With that thought, Di Tian immediately bid Yuan Feng farewell.

"This matter has concluded. It is time for us to leave as well."

"Fellow Daoist, remember the warning I gave you when we first met."

"If you want the Phoenix Race to remain safe and sound, you must never commit wanton slaughter or become tainted with too much Karmic Force and Sin."

Seeing that Di Tian was leaving, anxiety immediately rose in Yuan Feng's eyes, yet she had no reason to stop him.

After a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and extracted thirty percent of her Li Fire Source, four drops of ordinary Blood Essence, and one drop of Heart Blood Essence from within her body, respectfully presenting them to Di Tian.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing?!"

Di Tian did not even have time to accept the items she offered. He flashed directly to Yuan Feng's side and hurriedly helped stabilize her cultivation, which was on the verge of falling.

"Fellow Daoist Di Tian, when I was first born, I accidentally absorbed a Five Elements Source and a Yin and Yang Source."

After the decline in her cultivation had been stabilized, Yuan Feng forced herself to endure her weakness. She gently caressed her abdomen, her cheeks flushed as she explained to Di Tian.

"Originally, I did not think much of it."

"I could use the Five Elements Law and Yin Yang Law normally, so I paid it no further attention."

"But as time passed, three Eons ago, I suddenly awoke from seclusion."

"I discovered that the Yin and Yang Source and Five Elements Source I had yet to digest had undergone a mysterious transformation with the Nirvana Fire, giving birth to two Phoenix Eggs."

As she spoke, Yuan Feng slightly raised her head to face Di Tian and respectfully offered him the source, Blood Essence, and Heart Blood she had just extracted.

"You are a person of immense Merit, great status, immense fortune, and great divine powers."

"Though I do not know what you know, as things have developed over this period, I have also vaguely sensed something strange and felt a growing sense of dread."

"I ask that, for the sake of our pleasant relationship during this time, you grant them a way to live when the critical moment comes."

"These thirty percent of the source and this Heart Blood are the payment for this matter."

"And these four drops of ordinary Blood Essence are what I hope you can pass on for me."

"Tell them to cultivate well and not entertain the thought of avenging me."

"So long as they can survive safely, I will be able to die without regrets."

After saying that, Yuan Feng directly knelt before Di Tian, begging him to accept her request.

"Very well. I accept your request."

Di Tian knew the course of future events and understood who Yuan Feng's two sons were.

One was Kong Xuan, who forced Jie Yin to personally intervene to subdue him and single-handedly crushed the entire Chan Sect!

The other was the Golden Winged Da Peng, Tathagata Buddha's maternal uncle, the famed third brother of Lion Camel Ridge, whose single strike drove Sun Wukong to despair!

Judging by the time of their birth, ensuring their safety throughout their lives would pose virtually no difficulty for him.

After all, if by the time of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity he still could not Prove the Dao of Hunyuan and take control of the Extraterritorial Starry Sky, ruling over the Primordial World—

Then he might as well die early. Staying alive would be nothing but a waste of resources and spiritual energy!
