Chapter 22 Fish and Dragon Painting, Autumn Brush
As the intense heat of the fire surged forth, Fuxi, surrounded by the interplay of life and death energies, extinguished the fire and walked before the bronze cauldron.
As brilliant spiritual light shone forth, two spiritual treasures slowly floated out from between Fuxi's brows, and pale yellow ancient scrolls drifted down, surrounded by ever-changing carp and dragons.
The so-called fish and dragon represent change, as well as the alteration and transformation of all things in the universe. Sometimes it is a fish, sometimes a dragon. The transformation of fish and dragon illustrates the myriad phenomena of the universe.
The Fish-Dragon Diagram is actually the most important derivative magic weapon of Fuxi's Great Wilderness Structure, representing the constant changes of all things in heaven and earth. Therefore, Fuxi valued this magic weapon very much.
The second ray of light revealed the Qiuhao brush, which contained purple hairs, had a long and slender tip, a large and full brush head, and a color like frost and snow with distinct layers.
The Autumn Hair Brush embodies Fuxi's understanding of the Great Dao of the Soul and Spirit, possessing the extraordinary ability to permeate the soul and spirit and alter reality. In terms of killing power, the Autumn Hair Brush surpasses even the Fish and Dragon Diagram.
Fuxi formed a hand seal, and the azure true fire transformed into fiery dragons that continuously burned around the bronze cauldron.
All the rare and precious materials that Fuxi retrieved from the sea fell into the bronze cauldron, and the Fish-Dragon Painting and the Autumn Brush also transformed into spiritual light and flew into the bronze cauldron.
The raging flames quickly illuminated the numerous restrictive array patterns engraved on the bronze cauldron. In the intense heat, Fuxi's hand seals shifted continuously, and the azure flames, under Fuxi's control, surged directly into the cauldron's interior.
Flames burned, and thousands of rare and precious materials and divine metals began to melt away one after another. The shimmering essence of the Great Dao was forcibly extracted by Fuxi and slowly merged with the Fish-Dragon Diagram and the Autumn Brush.
A dragon's roar resounded, and a strange divine beast, half dragon and half fish, constantly changing between the two, flew out from the cauldron.
A brilliant red light flashed continuously, and the ten-foot-tall fish-dragon roared as it was thrown back into the bronze cauldron, absorbing the five-colored essence of the Great Dao within.
One after another, streaks of ink emerged from the bronze cauldron, and thick ink marks appeared in the hall, refined yet not ostentatious, simple yet not wild, neither aggressive nor fierce, gentle and elegant.
Between each stroke of the brush and the ink marks, there seems to be divine inspiration, a perfect blend of strength and gentleness, flexible variation, and elegant flow.
With a flick of his sleeve, Fuxi sent numerous ink marks into the azure true fire. As the mysterious true fire of heaven and earth burned, the pure and brilliant spiritual light within the bronze cauldron slowly bloomed. The Fish-Dragon Diagram and the Autumn Brush had already melted down all the heavenly treasures.
A century later, two streams of light flew out from the bronze cauldron, and a golden-red koi carp flew out and merged into Fuxi's right eye, transforming into a bright red flame above Fuxi's right eye.
Then a streak of ink flew out and merged into Fuxi's left eye, transforming into a faint ink-colored flame on Fuxi's left eye.
As the image of the fish and dragon and the brush pen merged into his eyes, Fuxi's energy was greatly enhanced in that instant, and his body was filled with spiritual light, which rippled and undulated.
The origin of the True Spirit Diagram transformed into the true form of Fuxi. The Fish-Dragon Diagram, the Autumn Brush, and even the outer shell of the True Spirit Diagram are actually a part of Fuxi.
Now that these two acquired spiritual treasures have transformed into acquired supreme treasures, their power has greatly increased, and Fuxi's cultivation and combat strength have also improved accordingly. If Fuxi were willing, he could now advance to the Taiyi realm.
"There's no rush for advancement. I need to wait for the Hundred Kings to evolve further before I can advance to the Taiyi realm in a perfect form."
The Great Wilderness Colossus represents a part of Fuxi's origins, which is also a part of Fuxi's body. If Fuxi wants to advance, he needs to upgrade all the Great Wilderness Colossus he has researched.
To date, Fuxi possesses four colossal structures of the Great Wilderness: the Three Changes, the Nine Heavens Jade Pendant, the Crimson Star, and the Foremost of All Kings.
Among these, the Three Changes and the Nine Heavens Jade Pendant are completely bound to Fuxi's consciousness and the five true spiritual roots, so they do not need to be specially evolved. These two great structures of the wilderness will continue to evolve as Fuxi's own cultivation and Taoist practice improve.
The Crimson Star is bound to the Red Dust Sea of the Primordial World, and can grow on its own by absorbing the desires of all living beings in the Red Dust Sea, without requiring too much effort from Fuxi.
Only the colossal structure of the First King of Kings is Fuxi's research and manifestation in the Dao of Bloodline Essence. It has little connection with Fuxi's own five True Spirit Roots, so Fuxi needs to actively sublimate it.
The first of all kings is the Great Wilderness Colossus, which is based on bloodline. The way to improve this Great Wilderness Colossus is simple: just refine enough racial bloodline essence.
As long as one possesses enough essence of bloodline, one can advance all the way up, and it is still unknown whether one will eventually become a supreme innate treasure or even something beyond a supreme innate treasure.
Originally, the Hundred Kings' Former Formation only incorporated the blood essence of hundreds of small tribes, yet it already possessed power surpassing that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Now that Fuxi has become the Azure Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, the essence of the Dragon Clan's bloodline has been unleashed upon him. Fuxi is now able to use the essence of the Dragon Clan's bloodline to reshape the First King of Kings and enhance its strength and foundation.
A clear, blood-red light rippled between Fuxi's brows. Fuxi split his consciousness into two parts: one part governed his physical body, while the other part began to fuse the essence of the dragon bloodline and the ancestor of all kings in his Purple Mansion, propelling the great wilderness colossus to undergo further transformation.
After leaving the Treasure Refining Hall, Fuxi originally wanted to visit the Dragon Clan to see just how powerful they had become.
Just as Fuxi arrived at the Dragon Prison, the innate pure Yang essence deep within Fuxi's primordial spirit trembled slightly.
Fuxi's expression changed slightly as he looked towards the dark sea west of the Dragon Palace. Only the Primordial Profound Yin Source could trigger the unusual activity of the Primordial Pure Yang Source, and in the vast primordial world, only Nuwa possessed the Primordial Profound Yin Source.
After leaving the Dragon Palace, Fuxi arrived at the western sea. His innate pure yang essence also trembled, and the dark seabed slowly turned green and bright.
A woman dressed in a long, fitted robe that accentuated her slender figure, carrying a purple bamboo sword on her back, and with her black hair flowing like a waterfall, looked calmly at Fuxi. The yin and profound aura of the celestial serpent emanating from her caused Fuxi to frown.
In the vast and primordial world, dragons and snakes can be considered two opposing forces.
The dragon represents the ultimate yang and strength, while the snake represents the ultimate yin and gentleness. Therefore, the True Dragon Clan and the Ancient Snake Clan have been at odds with each other since the moment they were born, and they also know that only by defeating each other can they possibly rise to power.
The True Dragon Clan and the Ancient Serpent Clan had fought a dozen or so battles before. The four Dragon Kings of the True Dragon Clan, when they joined forces, were able to contend with the two Serpent Ancestors of the Ancient Serpent Clan.
Now that Tai Qu and the other three have all transformed into Dragon Emperors, and with the addition of Fu Xi, the Azure Dragon Emperor, Fu Xi originally planned to launch an attack as soon as possible to wipe out the Ancient Serpent Clan.
