Shen Mo sensed, at his left earlobe, a trace of extraordinary power whose nature was utterly different from spiritual power and true essence!
This was the sliver of divine power bestowed by the Long-Eared God after he had sacrificed the source of his essence, qi, and spirit to this false god. It had seemingly appeared out of thin air... He could wield this sliver of divine power, but in essence, it still belonged to the Long-Eared God, not to him.
Following Elder Wang Tie's instructions, Shen Mo slowly circulated this sliver of divine power through every limb and bone in his body, then gathered it within the Consciousness Sea at his brow.
Before long, within his deathly still Consciousness Sea, the shadow of a lofty, holy, ethereal deity gradually manifested. It was clearly the image of the Long-Eared God. This divine shadow seemed to exist on a different plane from the Azure Cloud Peak Pure Land, the Blazing Sun Soul Aspect, and the phantom of Ghost Gate Pass already within his Consciousness Sea; well water did not mix with river water!
As the divine shadow manifested in his Consciousness Sea, countless marvelous insights continuously arose in Shen Mo's heart, as though the Long-Eared God's image were murmuring softly within his mind. Then, a scripture called the Long-Eared God's Prayer Scripture appeared in his mind.

He carefully studied the Long-Eared God's Prayer Scripture. Finding nothing inappropriate about it, he tried praising the Long-Eared God's name and began cultivating this scripture. Before long, this method appeared under the Self-Sacrifice Immortal Art section of the Destiny Panel.
This was the first divine-path cultivation technique Shen
