Under Min Yuan Orthodox God's Command...

In the illusory world of consciousness...

Qiu Yan withdrew his senses, his eyes shifted, and his gaze fell on a humanoid figure not far away.

The lightning had dissipated, the illusory space was shattered and on the verge of collapse, fragments kept falling from the sky, leaving dark holes, and the wisps of consciousness that had formed cultivators on the ground were no longer there.

Between heaven and earth, only two remain.

The countless Dharma Form that once adorned the land have long since vanished; only the original Great Khan remains.

However, at this moment, a beam of light pierced through the chest of this Great Chanyu. The beam was filled with Human Path thoughts, with Human Path Order lingering within it, and also carried a trace of soul energy, as if Heart Fire and Soul Shadow were wrapped around it.

Looking down at his chest, the Great Chanyu's lips twitched, and he narrowed his eyes. "A method combining Human Path and Divine Ability? How did you manage that? Divine Ability are suppressed by Human Path, and Human Path and Divine Ability are difficult to communicate with, as if they are incompatible..."

As the voice spoke, the person's figure appeared and disappeared, sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

Just now, the scriptures took shape, the wind and clouds surged, all thoughts shattered, and Human Path words that went with the flow. Qiu Yan mobilized the Grasslands's Fortune and transmitted the power of the Ceremonial Staff, petrifying the three people of the Golden Crow Dao. The Great Chanyu's many Dharma Form were also destroyed by the falling lightning snakes. As for his body, it was specially pierced through by a method.

This method came suddenly, like a ray of light, carrying the Human Path Thunder, the radiance of Divine Ability powers, and even mixed with other faint forces, yet it was already difficult to detect.

After being pierced, the Great Chanyu immediately realized the power of this move. This wisp of his projection was the core essence of his Dharma Form, which even the Human Path Thunder could not destroy. However, after being pierced by this light, his body showed signs of collapse, his mind was in turmoil, and even the other consciousness that he had suppressed deep within was restless and about to emerge.

"Human Path and Divine Ability are compatible?" However, Qiu Yan shook his head. "How can they be compatible? Cultivators are all derived from Human Path, and the true essence of so-called Divine Ability must also be related to Human Path."

These words startled the Great Chanyu, who looked shocked. "Judging from your tone, have you perhaps discovered the connection between Divine Ability and Human Path?" During their fight, he hadn't shown much surprise at Qiu Yan's various maneuvers and continuous attacks, but this simple sentence revealed his horror.

The true essence of Divine Ability is not about any method, trick, or power level, but rather about why Divine Ability exist, what their principles are, and why they can cause all sorts of incredible feats.

The underlying principle is similar to the relationship between technology and scientific theory in Qiu Yan's previous life: understanding theoretical principles often allows one to apply them to other situations, leading to change and progress.

In fact, the exploration of the true meaning of Divine Ability in the martial arts world has never stopped. However, most of those who have the mind to explore this step are highly skilled cultivators. The reason they explore is to Transcendence, and they even go so far as to draw on the doctrines of Human Path Hundred Schools of thought to enrich their own sects, gradually making the differences between sects more and more significant.

But even today, no one has been able to truly understand its mysteries.

Therefore, the Great Chanyu's expression changed upon hearing Qiu Yan mention this matter.

But Qiu Yan shook his head and said, "The mysteries of the true essence of Divine Ability are so vast that they may involve the Cosmic Primordial Wilds. The information I have is not enough to explore the root of it."

"So you're just spouting nonsense, but that's quite a boast, the true essence of Divine Ability..." The Great Chanyu was finally relieved. As he spoke, his figure became increasingly blurry, and the colors on his body were pulled away into the distance by an invisible force, as if someone were grabbing his clothes and pulling him away forcefully.

Qiu Yan snapped his fingers and said, "Although I don't know the true essence or the principle, by collecting enough information, making hundreds of attempts, and speculating countless times, I can still achieve the effect temporarily. I know how, but not why..."

He pointed to the beam of light on the other's chest. "By trying a thousand times, paying attention to each change, constantly adjusting, and narrowing the beam's range, we can at least achieve this level. And the Sixth Realm cultivators who are sealed and unable to unleash their full power are the most ideal targets for actual combat."

"Oh? Countless calculations? Even those skilled in Divination Dao would find it difficult to achieve such calculations, yet you dare to say it," the Great Chanyu said, his eyes growing colder, though his figure was almost transparent. "Furthermore, as a court official, even if you possess cultivation, how could you gather information on the Daoist Sect Divine Ability? How could you attempt them hundreds or thousands of times? Could it be that you have someone behind you?" He immediately grasped the key point in Qiu Yan's words.

However, how could Qiu Yan possibly tell him the truth?

Information about Divine Ability and Human Path is collected jointly by the Three Bodies: the Fleshly Body experiences the changes in Human Path, the Heart Demon Body perceives the changes in people's hearts, and the Divine Spirit Body starts from the thoughts entrusted by believers.

Moreover, Qiu Yan had laid out his plans multiple times, burying Heart Demon Fragment in the hearts of many, and passing on his Knowledge-and-Action Insights to the Daoist Sect cultivators such as the Void-Driving Dao and Golden Crow Dao. This was not merely for the sake of a little foundation; exploring the changes in Divine Ability was also one of his purposes. With the help of his Divine Spirit Body's calculations, he was able to keep trying and build up a prototype.

However, there was naturally no need to inform the Great Chanyu of this.

After being pierced by Qiu Yan's move, the Great Chanyu's power rapidly weakened, making it difficult for him to do anything more. Not to mention that his true body was suppressed and sealed, even if he could show his true body, with his Sixth Realm cultivation and the things he had done, he would immediately summon all kinds of disasters and Heavenly Tribulation.

Rumble!

With a deafening roar from the horizon, the entire consciousness space collapsed, with the furthest areas disintegrating first, before spreading from Eight Directions toward Qiu Yan's location.

In the blink of an eye, Da Shanyu was swept into it, his almost transparent figure completely collapsed, and the colors on his body were pulled away and flew into the distance. Qiu Yan saw this, narrowed his eyes, and a fierce look flashed in them, but he did not make a move to intercept it, because he vaguely felt that the invisible force revealed a power that made his heart tremble. He could not stop it with the power of his Fleshly Body alone, and it would only cause more trouble.

However, after the Great Chanyu's figure dissipated, a trace of his aura remained, swirling in the air and revealing the appearance of a young general. He smiled slightly at Qiu Yan and nodded gently.

"You're quite good, but you must return to the Central Plains as soon as possible. Don't venture into the Grasslands for the time being. That chieftain has been suppressed by me and is unable to spare any resources. Furthermore, in order to save his own life, he didn't hesitate to destroy his entire clan in order to break through to the Sixth Realm. Therefore, his Karmic Sin and karmic Karma are heavy. If he uses too much power, he will attract the judgment of Heavenly Tribulation. Only then can you gain some advantage. You must not underestimate the Sixth Realm because of this..."

Having said this, he didn't feel that his appearance was abrupt or his words were abrupt. As his figure gradually faded away, he transmitted his thoughts again. "Time is running out. Meeting is fate. Even Lord Su thinks highly of you, so I'll give you a little gift as well."

After speaking, his last bit of form solidified into a single point, flew straight over, transformed into a sheet of paper, and landed in front of Qiu Yan.

"Hmm?" Qiu Yan was not surprised by the appearance of the young general. He had already guessed what was going on after seeing the Great Chanyu, but now, seeing the ever-changing scenes of war and horses on the paper, he had a sudden realization. With a flick of his sleeve, he put the paper away.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the dust settled in the mental world, the surroundings transformed into Grasslands, the very place where Qiu Yan had fought with the Tulang Tribe, Ding Chunzi, and others. Ran Lian, Shi Jin, and the others were scattered in stunned silence, their gazes fixed on Qiu Yan.

After the Tulang Tribe was cleverly sacrificed by Ding Chunzi, the accumulated Karma and Karmic Sin were reduced, and the battle between the two sides was no longer something these mortals could interfere with. The subsequent changes were noticed by the people who were so close at hand. In their daze, they vaguely saw the twists and turns of the battle, and they gained a lot of insights. When they looked at Qiu Yan again, they felt even more that he was extraordinary.

Drip, drip, drip...

The rain was still falling, but it was showing signs of stopping.

Qiu Yan glanced at the scroll in his hand, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and tossed it into the distance.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a burst of firelight erupted in the distant sky, and amidst the explosions, a landscape of mountains and rivers flew through the air, enveloping a gourd. The gourd seemed to be suppressed by the mountains and rivers, yet it continued to tremble and emit screams!

Then, a scroll depicting the mountains, rivers, Grasslands of Geography Section unfolded in the air. Without any change in light or shadow, and without any fanfare, it gently covered the gourd. The screaming sound inside the gourd stopped abruptly and fell down.

Then, the landscape surrounding the gourd is incorporated into the painting.

Qiu Yan raised his hand and the scroll carrying the gourd flew back. He stuck his Ceremonial Staff into the ground, caught the scroll with one hand, and held the gourd with the other. Then he shook it violently, and the five paths of Human Path Order transformed into five bolts of lightning that poured into it.

A scream rang out, the gourd split open, and icy, malevolent Yin Qi shot out, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature.

Lunar True Essence!

Qiu Yan was not intimidated. A porcelain bottle flew out of his arms, the stopper popped off, and a round, red pill that shone with light flew out. It was the remnant of the Solar True Essence that he had obtained.

The next moment, the sun and moon collided, forming a ring of light that rapidly expanded until it reached a diameter of a hundred feet. Then, it quickly shrank back, silently transforming into a Yin-Yang symbol that fell down. Qiu Yan flicked his sleeve and absorbed it into the symbol, where it disappeared without a trace.

As the gourd shook again, figures flew out from it, rolling on the ground to reveal themselves. Many were wounded, and some had half their bodies melted away; these were people recently captured by the gourd.

The Lingxiu Fairy in the veil was also among them. After she stood up, she quickly calmed down, her gaze falling on Qiu Yan. With a thought, she was about to bow.

Just then, another voice rang out from her body—

"Isn't this Mr. Qiu? I never expected to run into you here..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a divine Divine Radiance flew out from Lingxiu Fairy, spun on the ground, and transformed into a person who cupped his hands towards Qiu Yan and said, "I am Bai Shi, a mountain god under the command of the God of Min Yuan Orthodox God."
