Phoenix Terrace was the highest point of the Forbidden City Phoenix Tomb's main tower. Zheng Wentai, an Integrated Body Realm Cultivator of the Emperor-Grade Heaven-Splitting Dao, was observing the "configuration" of the entire underground city.
He was a scholar who had entered the Dao through literature. He had lived for over ten thousand years and read for over ten thousand years as well. He had read every enduring work passed down from before the Holy Infant Sect ruled the God Continent. In terms of sheer reading volume, no matter how erudite or learned someone might be, none could rival him. There was no helping it—compared to a cultivator's lifespan, a mortal's lifespan was truly not worth mentioning.
Zheng Wentai's cultivation method was also uniquely unconventional. It was called <Splendid Writings of Enchanting Rivers and Mountains>. With a sweep of his brush, he could connect to the righteous qi of Human Dao and transform the scholarly air within his writings into tangible divine abilities. The hundred thousand, even million volumes of poetry and books within his breast gave him considerable combat strength.
And now, he lacked only the final step: nurturing his own "god." Once he did so, his cultivation would be complete.
To take that step, he needed to turn the "words of sages" into "my own aspiration."
And now, he was observing the Human Dao power within Linghuang Island's underground city, bolstering the "emotion" in his chest in hopes that a flash of inspiration would erupt from his heart. He wanted to write an essay that would spread across the world, imprint his own spirit upon Human Dao, and use the resonance of all Human Dao to propel himself to the next level.
Yet for some reason, he could not lift his brush.
