Even the Sha Star Dongfang Huayuan hadn't expected that he, who had been dragged along by that brat Chen Dengming to help, would end up contributing little effort but getting a good look at the spectacular show.

There are very few things in this world that can truly move him.

Not to mention that this was accomplished by a Golden Core Cultivator.

What is even more remarkable and worthy of his approval is that Chen Dengming is able to get close to the deepest level of power and State of Mind in the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage, using human power to overcome the Heaven's Will.

Although this 'victory' is not a true victory, but merely a shaking of Heaven's Will, causing Heaven's Will to be overturned, it requires paying a great price.

But to shake the Heaven's Will is something few in the world can do. Ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to even attract the attention of Heaven's Will, let alone shake its Heaven's Will.

Not to mention that after making Heaven's Will close its eyes, it opened them again. This was a feat achieved by human power, shaking the Heavenly Dao of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. And the person who accomplished this feat was merely a Golden Core Cultivator.

Inside the Human God Hall, Dongfang Huayuan did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the Silver Dao Script on the third stone pillar on the left and fell into deep thought.

"The records in the Human Strength Hall state that the deepest level of Divine Ability in the [Man Conquers Heaven] lineage was only an incomplete Martial Dao Divine Ability when it was created."

The only reason that the two immortal beings who were truly able to shake the Heavenly Dao since its creation were ultimately killed by the overturning of the Heavenly Dao.

The original purpose of this Divine Ability was to use the Human Immortal Way Power to shake the Heavenly Dao, and to use the pressure of the Heavenly Dao to condense the 'Human World Dao domain' to fight against the Heavenly Immortal Heavenly Dao.

However, the Heavenly Dao Power was too terrifying, making this initial goal difficult to achieve. The idea that "Man Conquers Heaven" became a joke in the path of Human Immortal Way, and later it symbolized more the unwavering and indomitable will in the inheritance of the soul.

Upon reflection, Dongfang Huayuan couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

He prided himself on having a strong and unwavering will, as well as great courage, but he had not yet grasped the State of Mind that Man Conquers Heaven. This might be because he did not inherit a spiritual tradition.

Although each lineage has its own branches, the ultimate power ultimately leads to the same destination. As long as one possesses the corresponding Dao power and cultivates diligently, one will still comprehend different powerful supernatural Divine Ability at the final point.

Just like the power of Heaven's Will in the Immortal Celestial Lineage, one has the opportunity to come into contact with and comprehend the three branches of inheritance: Longevity, Destiny, and Fortune.

"The will of Man Conquers Heaven is enough to shake the Heavenly Dao and resist the invasion and harm of any other will."

In terms of resisting damage to willpower, it's comparable to the Seven Absolute Realms among the divine Divine Ability of immortals. By the way, this kid has even mastered the Seven Absolute Realms."

Upon realizing this, Dongfang Huayuan stunned. He then realized what a freak this kid was, with a level of comprehension that he had never seen before in his life.

"If the Immortal Intent a sage Man Conquers Heaven is combined with the Seven Absolute Realms, can the most dangerous risk of 'heartlessness' within the Seven Absolute Realms be avoided?"

With his thoughts wandering to this point, Dongfang Huayuan stopped thinking about it, feeling increasingly depressed the more he pondered it.

He looked at the Daoist script on the third stone pillar in the Human God Hall, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and grabbed it. The Daoist script immediately detached from the stone pillar and flew out, but it flickered rapidly, resisting his grasp.

This naturally indicates that his Spiritual Realm is not yet sufficient, at least not close enough to certain spiritual states of immortals.

Dongfang Huayuan, his displeasure becoming even more apparent, and flung his hand away.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!!"

Whoosh--

The fourth Daoist script flew out of the Human God Hall and headed straight for Chen Dengming's Sea of Consciousness.

Dongfang Huayuan stood with his hands behind his back, disdainful, his figure gradually disappearing with the Human God Hall. "I wonder which immortal left this legacy in the past. Why are there so many rules in my mind?"

If I, Dongfang Huayuan, were to become an immortal in the future, I would suppress all other immortals and become a mortal immortal! I won't bother with all your convoluted schemes."

He will follow his own path, strive to prove the strongest Human Immortal Way, and achieve human immortality himself.

However, this time, giving the fourth Human Immortal Way Script to Chen Dengming can be seen as his greatest recognition of this spiritual successor.

As for the fifth Dao inscription on the fourth stone pillar, that's not something he can simply give away; Chen Dengming will have to retrieve it himself later.

Back then, he left a portion of his spirit to guard the Human God Hall and Gods, partly because he did not want some villains who had been plotting for thousands of years to meddle in the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage.

Secondly, the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage must not only gain the recognition of the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage but also the recognition of Dongfang Huayuan.

Such actions are extremely domineering.

However, now that he truly approves, he is willing to cooperate and will never resort to underhanded tricks.

Because proud people never do shameful things. Dongfang Huayuan has always preferred to take things directly rather than through crooked means.

Layers of white, chain-like waves crashed onto the beach, spewing white foam that washed over the seashells of various shapes and gently caressed Chen Dengming.

Whoosh--

A wave surged in, carrying a salty sea breeze, and Incense Clone, resembling a blue giant, appeared with the wave, carrying a lifeless corpse in its arms, and landed on the shore.

He placed the corpse on the soft sand, his eyes, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, first glancing at the original body.

Upon determining that the deity was only temporarily unconscious and was slowly recovering from his damaged mind, he immediately felt relieved.

His gaze shifted to the gaping wound on Li Xue's abdomen, then to the fist-sized mass of Flesh and Blood and umbilical cord on the other side of the beach, which reeked of blood, and he shook his head.

Although Li Xue eventually regained her true nature due to the shock of her father Li Rong's death, she was overwhelmed with remorse and tore off her umbilical cord, only to be blasted away and killed by the will of the Outer Realm Devil Venerable.

Ultimately, they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Fei Lin's mother, despite being infected by the demonic influence, was able to return to her true nature and pull back from the brink, which shows that she was only temporarily confused and allowed the demonic influence to take advantage of her.

The Incense Clone's eyes flickered slightly, and with a hand seal, a large amount of water-based Spiritual Qi gathered, transforming into gentle water-based spiritual light that landed on the corpse's abdominal wound.

This is a second-tier water-based Technique Method, <Spiritual Water Healing Technique>.

Streams of water and Spiritual Qi swirled around the wounds, helping them heal quickly and making Li Xue's corpse look less gruesome.

Although the Incense Clone was primarily created from the Heavenly Immortal Wood Elemental Avatar, thanks to the rare treasure 'Heart of the Heart of the Ocean,' its ability to learn and control water-type Spiritual Qi and Technique Method was greatly enhanced, making it comparable to a cultivator with a superior Water Spirit Root.

Therefore, over the past twelve years, Chen Dengming has instructed his Incense Clone to practice various water-based Technique Method, from the first to the third-level intermediate Technique Method. The Incense Clone have practiced all of them and have all reached a relatively high level.

This can be seen as a prelude to his next plan to fuse the finished Water Spirit Root and change the Gold Spirit Root into Water Spirit Root.

Gold Wood Spirit Root are mutually destructive, while Wood Spirit Root Dual Spirit Root are complementary and mutually reinforcing.

A top-grade compatible Spirit Root, if its affinity is also raised to the maximum, is almost considered the strongest Spiritual Root Potential below the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

If someone else were to change their Spirit Root, they might also face the headache of having to rebuild many of their old Technique Method.

But Chen Dengming didn't have this problem; his Incense Clone had already solved the issue of Technique Method cultivation.

In the Longevity Sect's scripture library, all kinds of water-based Technique Method are also stored in their entirety.

As the Longevity Sect Leader of the sect, Chen Dengming could cultivate freely, only needing to symbolically and voluntarily pay some Sect Contribution.

Compared to his past experience as Rogue Cultivator who couldn't obtain any techniques, Chen Dengming can now possess any technique below the fourth rank.

At this moment, as Li Xue's body was being repaired, Chen Jing was unconscious in the distance, seemed to be moving, about to wake up.

The Incense Clone frowned slightly, glanced at Li Xue's corpse, pondered for a moment, then got up and quickly cast a hand Drawing Ground as Prison Technique to create a water prison around the main body. Afterwards, it fed the main body healing pills and Heart Mending Pill.

The next moment, the Incense Clone flew towards Chen Jing and took him away.

No one knows a son better than his father, and the thought process of Chen Dengming, preserved through the Incense Clone, is also very clear.

Now that Li Xue is dead, given Chen Jing's level of infatuation, he might very well commit suicide for love, or even suffer some kind of mental breakdown.

Although the Outer Realm Devil Venerable will inevitably be injured by the attack of Heaven's Will after this battle, and may not cause any more trouble in the short term, we should still take precautions and avoid things that can be avoided as much as possible.

After an incense stick has burned.

Chen Dengming awoke from a state of extreme mental and physical exhaustion.

The moment he awoke, the Divine Sense of the Incense Clone entered his mind, instantly connecting him and allowing him to know what had happened while he was unconscious.

Only then did he realize that his Sea of Consciousness was depleted. In the past, his Sea of Consciousness was filled with a torrent of Divine Sense formed by the convergence of Divine Sense light, truly like Sea of Consciousness of brilliant stars.

Now it seems to have become a desolate and empty starry sky.

A few faint glimmers of Divine Sense occasionally drifted by, but they were so weak and feeble that they could hardly gather into a sea, let alone a small pond.

Not only that, the Dao power of both the Celestial Immortal and the Human Immortal is also exhausted, and it will take at least half a month to fully recover.

However, at that very moment, Chen Dengming realized that an unrefined Dao rune had appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. It shimmered with a silvery light and slowly rotated, attracting the faint Human Immortal Way Power immortals around it to gather.

"This is."

Chen Dengming was surprised.

At this point, they also discovered that the Human God Hall and Dongfang Huayuan had disappeared, which led them to speculate.

"So kind of you? You just gave me the fourth Dao rune like that? Or are you afraid I'll use the Heaven's Will against him in the future, so you're giving me this Dao rune first?"

Chen Dengming thought to himself with a hint of sarcasm as he focused his mind on the fourth Dao inscription, immediately sensing the Human Immortal Way Power within it.

At the same time, a stream of information rapidly flooded into his mind.

The moment Chen Dengming received this stream of information, he gradually understood.

The Human God Hall and Gods contains a total of fifteen main Daoist texts representing the three major branches of the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage.

There are three gates to the main hall.

There are twelve stone pillars inside the main hall.

There are five main paths that can be obtained corresponding to each branch of the Immortal Path.

Each inheritor of a path must refine the first four main Dao runes before seeking out the Ancient Human Immortal Palace corresponding to their own Dao to refine more of the secondary Dao runes formed from Dao power and understand their profound meaning.

After taking control of the ancient palace, he almost reached the edge of Spirit Transformation and merging with the Dao.

At that time, it will be necessary to refine the ancient palace and the fifth Dao script to achieve Dao integration and obtain the complete inheritance of the branch.

"Spirit Transformation and Merging with the Dao. So merging with the Dao means merging with these Dao powers to confirm one's own Dao. This is far beyond my reach. What awaits me next is the Formation of the Nascent Soul."

Chen Dengming understood, and his mind gradually withdrew from his Sea of Consciousness.

With this new Dao rune, the depleted Human Immortal Way Power immortal will recover quickly.

Most importantly, the total amount and power of the Human Immortal Way Power will also increase, and the duration that can be maintained when using supernatural Divine Ability such as the Human Immortal Physique and the Seven Absolute Realms will also increase in the future.

After Chen Dengming withdrew his mind from his Sea of Consciousness, he felt excruciating pain and weakness throughout his body, as if his body was about to fall apart, especially his brain, which felt like it was being pricked with needles.

"Hiss, he's badly injured."

Chen Dengming sat up with a soft hiss.

With a thought, the Ruyi Treasure Armor had appeared somewhat stiff and uncomfortable after transforming into armor, quickly retracted with a clang, forming a close-fitting outfit.

He examined his injuries and determined that they were merely large-area lacerations of flesh and muscle.

The most serious consequences are the depletion of Divine Sense, damage to the mind, and the loss of a large amount of lifespan.

These injuries were not entirely caused by the attack of the Outer Realm Devil Venerable's Dao Intent; they also included the crushing damage inflicted by the Heaven's Will.

Therefore, the most serious injuries are to the mind and spirit; physical injuries like muscle tears are minor and won't affect the [Life Returning Pill] used to save lives.

With a thought, Chen Dengming's panel appeared, and he immediately observed the information about the lifespan he was losing.

"Golden Core Late Stage cultivator [Chen Dengming]"

Birthday: 123/658/1985

Although I was mentally prepared and knew that it would shorten my lifespan.

But the moment Chen Dengming saw the lifespan information displayed on the panel, he still gasped.

"His ambitions were sky-high, but his fate was as fragile as paper. Just now, he lost sixty-six years of his lifespan."

Compared to the remaining 1,300-plus years of lifespan, this loss of lifespan is not so devastating as to cause serious injury, but it is still quite painful.

Overall, however, Chen Dengming believes it was still worthwhile.

Even if he had to do it all over again, he would do it without hesitation.

After all, he had vented his anger and, by fortuitous opportunity chance, had comprehended the Divine Ability of Man Conquers Heaven, and even obtained a new Daoist scripture.

Most importantly, it is impolite not to reciprocate.

This time, it can be considered as if by Heaven's Will intervention, a severe blow was dealt to the arrogance of the Outer Realm Devil Venerable, and he may have been injured. If he has truly been injured, then the four seas may enjoy a period of peace in the future.

"However, if it only costs sixty-six years of lifespan to unleash the greatest power of Man Conquers Heaven nature and shake the Heaven's Will, this price may seem high, but it is not unbearable for Nascent Soul or even Spirit Transformation cultivators, let alone a life as fragile as paper."

Chen Dengming felt a little strange. "Could it be because I am a member of the Immortal Celestial Lineage, one of our own, that Heavenly Dao is showing me some leniency, and giving me a discount on my appearance fee just for raising my eyelids?"

Thinking that he also possessed the crucial point of the Immortal Celestial Lineage, Chen Dengming vaguely remembered that at the critical moment of the final battle, it seemed as if Heaven's Will had glanced at him.

However, he soon fell into a coma, and the only way to find out the reason for this was to ask the Sha Star later.

As Chen Dengming mentally exited the panel, he heard an urgent reminder from the Little Array Spirit.

"Fellow Daoist, hurry, hurry and hold on! The pure Spiritual Energy is dissipating."

These are all pure, pure Spiritual Energy left behind after the will of the Outer Realm Devil Venerable was defeated.

"Great, great benefits! I've already swallowed quite a bit!"

Chen Dengming was startled and opened his eyes, only to find that the Little Array Spirit had flown out of the Soul House at some point and was floating in mid-air not far away. Its slender hands were holding something, and it grabbed a ball of pure energy and stuffed it into its little mouth, swallowing a mouthful, busy and happy.

This old lady just ate all by herself.
