The Young Heavenly Dao Had a Hot Temper; I Still Preferred That Defiant Look of Yours

The local Heavenly Dao felt as though it had been harassed by a hooligan.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

The heavens let out a thunderous roar. The enraged Heavenly Dao descended with its will, swiftly locking onto Chen Yi's location before immediately striking down with a vast bolt of heavenly lightning!

Warning! Could you please not be so arrogant? Could you finish the mission before provoking this world's Heavenly Dao?

The Chat Group system's notification carried a trace of helplessness.

Yet Chen Yi did not care in the slightest. With a casual gesture, he closed the prompt and spread his arms, letting the heavenly lightning wash over him.

It had to be said that after nurturing an Immortal Body, his lightning resistance had also increased tremendously.

In the past, heavenly lightning of this level, descended by the Heavenly Dao, would take an ordinary clone two and a half seconds to refine. An Immortal Body clone, however, refined it in an instant!

A mass of heavenly lightning essence containing the aura of the Heavenly Dao condensed into being. With a flick of his finger, Chen Yi shoved it into Zhou Zheng's mouth below.

"Ahh, ahh, ahh... Great Group Leader, what did you feed me? So hot..."

Zhou Zheng's eyes turned hazy. Like a boiled shrimp, his skin reddened as wisps of white steam rose from his entire body. And if one took a careful sniff, it even smelled rather good!

"Gulp~"

The Integration-stage Grand Elders in the hall could not help swallowing.

This Heavenly Dao aura was simply too fragrant!

If they could obtain it, it would save them hundreds, even thousands, of years of effort. Perhaps even reaching the Tribulation Transcendence stage would not be impossible!

This was no exaggeration—it was a genuine, tangible effect!

After all, who could casually refine such terrifying heavenly lightning like that person?

And even strip away its terrifying power of destruction while completely preserving the aura of the Heavenly Dao?

Ahhh!!!

What had Zhou Zheng ever done to earn the favor of such a mighty being?!

Such precious heavenly lightning essence was bestowed so casually—could he even make proper use of it?!

Giving it to him was simply throwing pearls before swine!

"He smells so good. I really want to eat him..."

"Shut up. Do you have a death wish? That person is still here!"

"But he really smells so good..."

"Heh, just because you can't do it doesn't mean this old woman can't. Dual cultivation could let me share quite a bit of it too..."

"Heh heh, he's only at the Golden Core stage. Can he even break through your Integration Dao Body?"

"We can give it a try..."

"Heehee..."

Seeing the wolfish, tigerish gazes cast upon him by the three female Grand Elders—whose hair had long since turned white, yet whose faces remained tender and youthful—Zhou Zheng, still digesting the heavenly lightning essence, could not help shivering.

This is bad. Why does my lower back feel chilly?

Damn it, they're after my kidneys!

Great Group Leader, please make sure to reward me with that Master's Ring. I really don't want to be gnawed on by Old Ox!

Unfortunately, Chen Yi had no time to pay attention to him.

This world's Heavenly Dao had quite the fiery temperament. Though it knew it was no match, it still resisted to the bitter end, unwilling to sit down and have a proper talk.

"Stop what you are doing! I'll give you one last chance to sit down and talk properly. Otherwise, I'm going to lose my temper!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

The only response Chen Yi received was a thick, bronze-colored bolt of heavenly lightning.

The Heavenly Dao would never yield. Its will carried the resolve to sink everything in battle if it came to that!

"Sigh, young Heavenly Daos really do have hot tempers. If they haven't taken a beating, they simply don't understand how to be tactful."

Chen Yi shook his head and sighed softly.

If it had been a one-star ordinary clone standing here, then aside from merging two two-star clones, there truly might have been no way to suppress this world's Heavenly Dao, which had already evolved Tribulation Transcendence laws.

After all, the Heavenly Dao stood one level higher. Being able to evolve Tribulation Transcendence laws meant it could suppress Tribulation Transcendence-stage cultivators.

But the one standing here now was an Immortal Body clone, far stronger than an ordinary clone!

Not understanding the gap in strength, it still dared challenge an Immortal Body clone?!

In an instant, he vanished from where he stood.

The next second.

An incomparably enormous humanoid Dharma form abruptly appeared in the void beyond this world. A single palm alone could cover the entirety of this world's continent!

Without a doubt, if he wished, he could even refine the entire world!

Sensing that terrifying pressure, the Heavenly Dao's thoughts instantly became clear.

If you had this kind of ability, why were you hiding it?

If you'd shown it sooner, wouldn't I have behaved myself?

"My apologies, my apologies. I am truly sorry, esteemed visitor from beyond the domain. What would you like to discuss?"

The corners of Chen Yi's lips rose in a smile. "See? You can speak properly after all. But I still prefer that defiant look you had just now. How about you go back to that?"

That was what he said, but anyone who believed him would be an idiot!

The Heavenly Dao that governed all living things was not stupid. It remained respectful, even somewhat humble. "Just now, I was ignorant and muddle-headed for a moment. An apology alone would be far too insincere; I'll put it into action instead. Just give your orders. If I can do it, I definitely will. If I can't, I'll still do my utmost!"

Seeing that the Heavenly Dao truly understood how to behave, Chen Yi stopped pressing it and said slowly, "Wouldn't it have been over if you'd acted like this from the start? I only want you to alter one person's fate. What's the big deal? Was there any need to make such a fuss?"

"Yes, yes, it was all my fault. May I ask whose fate you wish to alter?" The Heavenly Dao's attitude was exceedingly sincere. It did not dare mention that Chen Yi had been the one to unreasonably harass it first.

"Sacred Void Sect, Zhou Zheng!" Chen Yi named his target.

It was fine before it checked. But once the Heavenly Dao investigated, it became slightly flustered, replying in an even humbler manner, "I'm sorry. It truly isn't that I don't wish to do this for you, but this person carries the power of creation. He lies outside my jurisdiction, so I cannot alter his fate."

Chen Yi had expected this already and immediately gave clear instructions. "Just forge a false fate for him within your jurisdiction."

Transmigrators were all undocumented residents. Generally, they were not governed by the local Heavenly Dao. So long as they were not too outstanding, the Heavenly Dao would not even notice them.

Take Chen Yi, for example. Because he was too outstanding, Ziwei Heavenly Dao had invited him to join its ranks. Even a forged false fate could prove that he originated from the Ziwei Continent!

The same went for Fang Zheng and Liu Ruyan. Though neither of them was outstanding, because Chen Yi was there, the Heavenly Dao could only politely invite them to join its ranks as well.

The benefits of joining its ranks needed no explanation. With the Heavenly Dao's special favor, one's Dao path of cultivation would be as smooth as a broad road.

But what Chen Yi had never expected was that this world's Heavenly Dao was actually so outstanding too!

"Forge a false fate... how should I do that?"

Chen Yi: ...

Hey, man, are you really that honest?

Have you never once had a mismatch in your accounts?
