Chapter 278 The Changes of Time
The innate origin of a Primordial Golden Immortal is the embryo of an innate treasure.
Even with its various limitations, the essence of an innate treasure remains superior to that of a great supernatural being. Therefore, how could those great supernatural beings possibly calculate the whereabouts of an innate treasure?
As for sages, they too cannot calculate its location.
Innate treasures cannot develop sentience or take human form; this is why they possess the power of sages but cannot actively utilize it.
As the saying goes, every gain has its loss. While innate treasures have lost the possibility of taking human form, they have achieved unimaginable success in shielding the secrets of heaven.
Unless an innate treasure actively reveals itself, even if a sage searches the entire prehistoric world, they will not find any trace of it.
Otherwise, the two sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, would have already searched the entire prehistoric world for innate treasures, instead of sitting comfortably on Mount Sumeru, drooling over the innate treasures in the hands of the Three Pure Ones.
They simply cannot find them! Holding the Emperor's Seal in his hand, Feng Zichen had a feeling that he wasn't holding the Emperor's Seal, but rather the entire myriad races. At this moment, it seemed he could control the rise and fall of all races and dominate the life and death of countless beings.
Of course, Feng Zichen knew in his heart that this was just an illusion.
Dominating the life and death of all beings was the power of a true Emperor. He was merely a human emperor, still a long way from becoming an Emperor, and far from achieving that.
At most, he could only control the life and death of the human race, drawing upon a little of the power of all beings.
"Rise!"
Sinking his mind into the Emperor's Seal, in an instant, everything about the Human Dao Imperial Court was reflected in Feng Zichen's sea of consciousness.
That's right, it was the Human Dao Imperial Court!
Besides being a supreme treasure of humanity, the Emperor's Seal was also the central hub of the Human Dao Imperial Court, controlling everything within it.
"Rise!" Rumble!
The entire Human Imperial Court trembled. The Chaos Array activated, the Great Dao Divine Diagram slowly unfolded, and chaotic energy surged forth, with countless illusory figures appearing one after another.
Then, the Human Imperial Court vanished from this place and appeared in the sky above the East Sea coast.
The Imperial Court was vast and boundless; as soon as it appeared, it covered the sun, plunging the East Sea coast into darkness.
The change in the sky immediately attracted the attention of the human race. "That...What is that?"
Gazing at the enormous divine city in the sky, the people here were deeply shocked. Having lived on the East Sea coast for so long, they had never seen such a vast and majestic Imperial Court. It was already quite calm that they did not cry out in surprise.
"Is this the Imperial Court His Majesty spoke of?"
"It is truly beyond imagination!"
"We were ignorant!"
The ordinary people did not know what it was, but the human elders, after a little thought, understood the origin of the Imperial Court in the sky.
If nothing unexpected happened, this was the Human Emperor who had insisted on establishing the Human Imperial Court despite all opposition.
Even a single glance from afar filled them with their Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, with a deep-seated fear.
This demonstrated the immense power of this Imperial Court.
Recalling their earlier words of dissuading Feng Zichen, they now seemed somewhat laughable.
Perhaps they were truly old and out of touch with the times.
…
Ignoring the shock of their people, Feng Zichen did not reveal himself, but instead took out a fishing net.
Currently, the Human Imperial Court was not yet complete and required further preparation.
Behind Feng Zichen, the World Tree silently appeared, lowering its World Origin to burn the fishing net in Feng Zichen's hand.
Simultaneously, the Human Emperor Seal trembled, spewing forth Chaos Origin, which also burned the fishing net.
The Chaos Pearl, merely as a core, had been refined into the Human Emperor Seal by Feng Zichen; its essence had not been destroyed and still existed, only its appearance had changed.
Moreover, after transforming into the Emperor's Seal, the Chaos Pearl was completely upgraded to a Primordial Treasure, nurturing even more Chaos Origin.
Furthermore, the Chaos Pearl's characteristics did not disappear with its transformation. It could still absorb fragments from the past and continue its advancement.
The fishing net in Feng Zichen's hand was none other than the net used to capture Ao Xue—the first net of the Primordial World, a post-natal merit treasure.
He took out this net, just as he had forged the Suiren Lamp, intending to forge another heirloom treasure for the human race: the Heavenly Net!
Before this net, there were no net-shaped treasures in the Primordial World. In other words, this net possessed immense fortune and merit.
Treasures forged with it could absolutely seal off all directions and capture all living beings. Calling it the Heavenly Net was perfectly fitting.
…
Now, Feng Zichen's cultivation had far surpassed his former level, and forging such a treasure no longer required the same effort.
Before long, the fishing net completely merged with the human race's fortune, becoming a new heirloom treasure.
"Go!"
Feng Zichen threw out the Heavenly Net, watching it grow larger and envelop the Humanity Imperial Court. He nodded in satisfaction.
Once encased in the net, the Humanity Imperial Court's radiance gradually dimmed, becoming less conspicuous and more ordinary.
Compared to ordinary cities in the primordial world, it was no different except for being suspended in the air.
Humanity's strength was currently weak; it was best not to be too ostentatious.
Accumulating resources and delaying the declaration of kingship was the wisest course.
"Elders, the Humanity Imperial Court is complete. Would you like to come with me to take a look?"
Feng Zichen asked, looking at the human elders whose faces were filled with emotion.
"Of course!"
"This treasure is truly the most precious thing we have ever seen in our lives. If we don't go and see it, wouldn't we regret it for the rest of our lives?"
The elders nodded excitedly.
To them, even innate spiritual treasures were rare, let alone the Humanity Imperial Court, a supreme treasure of humanity.
"Elders, you jest!"
With a smile, Feng Zichen led the elders into the Imperial Court.
…
While Feng Zichen was in seclusion refining the Human Dao Imperial Court, subtle changes were taking place in the Primordial World.
On Mount Kunlun, the conflict between the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect was becoming increasingly irreconcilable.
The disciples of the two sects argued incessantly, turning the once peaceful sacred land of Mount Kunlun into a bustling marketplace, filled with foul language.
If it weren't for Xuanqing's restraint, the disciples of the two sects would have already turned on each other.
However, even so, as the conflict deepened, it had already affected the Sages. The Tongtian Sect Master and the Yuanshi Tianzun had already argued several times over this.
The separation of the Three Pure Ones was not far off!
On the Sun Star, Taiyi's aura grew even stronger.
Behind him, the Taiyi Wheel rose slowly, operating the ultimate principles of Heaven, reflecting the rules of Heaven and Earth, and encompassing all phenomena of the universe.
As it rotates, it seems as if countless worlds exist within it, arising and ceasing, enacting all sorts of profound truths—it's terrifying beyond measure.
