"So the so-called 'heartforce' is nothing more than 'will'!"
Spirit, willpower, faith, and so on and so forth. These things were essentially a part of the strength of the soul.
After scanning and analyzing the energy which Old Man Yuan had left within Chang 'e's soul, Li Yu now understood the essence of heartforce.
"Soul enslavement and will control … there is indeed something to it."
At Li Yu's level, he was able to see through the essence of heartforce at a glance, making it much easier for him to control it.
"Enslavement and control are both things that I have played around with."
When he had first established himself, Li Yu had been quite adept at using the 'loyalty seal'. Old Man Yuan's heartforce, as far as Li Yu was concerned, wasn't much at all.
"Gonggong and Fuxi are under Old Man Yuan's control as well. I need to go deal with them."
Gonggong and Fuxi were both Elder Gods, and they were at a higher level of insight than Daofathers Gold Immortals. Alas, Fuxi had been reincarnated for the sake of breaking through and comprehending the Dao of Yin and Yang. He had yet to recover his memories from his previous life.
Li Yu turned his head to stare into the air, immediately finding Fuxi's location.
This was an ordinary piece of land. Beneath a small mountain, there was a crude farmhouse.
In the vegetable fields outside the cottage, an old farmer was working with a hoe.
"You're not Shennong. Why are you playing farming games?"
Li Yu shook his head, speechless. He took a single step forward, instantly arriving at Fuxi's cottage.
"Sir, I was just passing by. Would you mind if I asked for a cup of water?"
Standing by the vegetable field, Li Yu greeted Fuxi with a smile.
"Eh?"
Upon hearing this voice, Fuxi's entire body trembled, and a sharp light exploded out of his eyes. Slowly turning around, Fuxi saw a white-robed youth standing outside the fences of the vegetable fields.
He was actually able to silently walk up to me, and I didn't even notice him until he spoke. This person … what level of insight was he at? What sort of person was he?
"You're a guest from afar. Just a cup of tea. I hope you don't mind."
Fuxi smiled and nodded. Like an ordinary old farmer, he pushed open the garden door and slowly walked out of the vegetable field with his back hunched.
"Sir, please have some tea!"
At the entrance of the vegetable garden, Fuxi picked up the teapot from the wooden table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Li Yu with trembling hands.
"Good tea!"
Picking up the teacup, he saw that the tea in the cup was like a raging tide, as if it was not a cup of tea, but a vast ocean.
"What a pity …"
Li Yu smiled and said, "If I really drank it in one gulp, I'm afraid I would have drunk all four seas dry."
"Return to where you came from!"
With a flick of his finger, Li Yu cut off the connection between the water in the cup and the origin of water in this world. Then, with a smile on his face, he picked up the teacup and drank it all.
"He's actually this powerful?"
Fuxi's pupils constricted when he saw that his spell had been broken in the blink of an eye. His stooped body slowly straightened, and his aged face was filled with determination.
No matter how strong you are, what do I have to fear? Even in the most difficult times, we, the humankind, have never bent our backs!
"It really is good tea!"
Li Yu did not seem to notice the mighty aura emanating from Fuxi's body as he continued to smile. "After drinking your cup of tea, you … should also drink I's cup of tea. How about it?"
"Please enlighten me!"
His aged body instantly became strong. His thick chest was as wide as the earth, and his straight back was as imposing as a mountain.
At that moment, Fuxi no longer looked like an old farmer. He had regained the true appearance of an ancient human emperor.
From Fuxi's point of view, Li Yu definitely did not come with good intentions.
For existences at the pinnacle of the Three Realms like Fuxi, they naturally knew that the world was extremely vast, and that there were other worlds outside of the Three Realms.
Li Yu was a powerful existence that had never appeared in the Three Realms, so he had to be a mighty figure from another world.
The arrival of such a mighty figure from another world would only bring endless war to the Three Realms, just like Rahu from the ancient era.
Since he had come knocking on their door, then … there was only one battle!
"I's tea is different from yours."
With a flick of his sleeve, a ray of light lingered in the air, and a white jade teacup was created out of thin air.
Then, a seed floated in the air, took root, sprouted, and grew leaves. In a short while, it grew into a tea tree.
The green tea tree looked like it was carved out of jade, and 108 light golden tea leaves hung from the tree. They looked like cauldrons, bells, swords, pagodas … They all had different shapes.
What was even more shocking was that the tea leaves faintly emitted a profound Dao aura.
"This tea …"
Fuxi was shocked when he saw the tea leaves.
It was one thing to create something out of thin air, but to create such a profound connate spiritual item?
"If there's tea, there naturally needs to be water."
With a flick of his finger, a sparkling liquid with endless vitality fell into the white jade teacup. Heat surged, and the water in the teacup instantly boiled.
"Fall!"
With a soft shout, 108 light golden tea leaves fell into the teacup. A misty immortal light circulated in the teacup, and a faint immortal melody could be heard.
The immortal melody was faint, and the Great Dao resonated. It was as if all the Great Daos in the world were in one cup.
"Please!"
Li Yu picked up the teacup and handed it to Fuxi with a smile.
"Such an immortal tea, Fellow Daoist, your skills are unfathomable. I'm impressed!"
How could Fuxi lose his composure at a time like this? Since it was a competition, he had to drink it even if it was poisonous.
He received the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
Then …
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion took place in Fuxi's mind, and rare phenomena filled the sky.
"Qian: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen."
"Ninth Day: Hidden Dragon, Don't Use."
"…"
The voice of the Great Dao echoed in Fuxi's mind, and a profound scripture was deeply imprinted in his mind.
At the same time, the eight trigrams of Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Volcano, and Swamp appeared and intertwined, forming sixty-four trigrams.
"The Book of Changes?"
Fuxi was dumbfounded when he saw the profound scripture in his mind that described the truth of Heaven and Earth.
Fuxi vaguely felt that the Book of Changes was very compatible with his path, as if … it was the path he should have taken.
Not life and destruction, not the Great Yin and Great Yang. Fuxi's path should be the Connate Eight Trigrams!
"Connate Taiyi, the Dao of Destiny?"
Fuxi snapped out of his daze and was about to ask Li Yu when he realized that the white-robed figure had already drifted away.
"Senior, please bestow me your name!"
Fuxi bowed to Li Yu's back.
"At the beginning of Chaos, Yin and Yang appeared, and Heaven and Earth were born together."
The long song was faint, and the white-robed figure disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there.
"Chaos? Yin and Yang? Heaven and Earth? "
Fuxi was confused. He couldn't figure out what this "poetic announcement" meant.
"The Great Dao of Taiyi is indeed the Great Dao of Heaven!"
Taking a deep breath, Fuxi recalled the Book of Changes in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face. His eyes were blurred, as if he had seen through everything in the world. "Everything is fate!"
This "Book of Changes" seemed to be tailor-made for Fuxi. In just a short moment, Fuxi had completely understood it.
The threads of fate appeared before him, and then …
Fuxi's face turned pale.
"The future … is so cruel? I … I … have become someone else's pawn, manipulated, and caused endless sin? "
Fuxi was sweating profusely. "I see fate, what should I do … eh? Heart Cleansing Mantra? "
In his anxiety, Fuxi suddenly saw the tea on the wooden table condense into a mantra that cleansed the soul and purged evil.
"This senior … is here to save me?"
At this moment, Fuxi's heart was filled with gratitude. He bowed in the direction Li Yu left in.
