Above the Great Dao

The skull emanated an incomparably intense divinity, its aura overwhelmingly strong, making it the most precious of the Seven Treasures.

In front of the Seven Treasures were baskets filled with copper coins and gold and silver; swords were hung on both sides, with five Imperial Decree Flags symbolizing the Five Elements inserted in the center, and a Luck Mirror hanging overhead.

Yu Tiancheng sat beneath the Luck Mirror, surrounded by burning oil lamps, brightly lit to ensure he was enveloped in a field of Pure Yang Qi, so as not to disturb the True God during the Divine Descent.

Cold Mountain Wanderer, hailing from the Xu Family among the Thirteen Families, was a Mahayana Realm being. This arrangement was enough to ensure Yu Tiancheng gained the longest time of enlightenment on the altar!

The longer the enlightenment lasted, the greater the benefits received!

Cold Mountain Wanderer had high regard for this disciple, believing that Yu Tiancheng possessed exceptional talent and could fully inherit his legacy, perhaps even surpassing him. Hence, he placed great importance on this Divine Descent grand ritual.

Chen Shi said, "Master Yu, I don't possess a true Divine Embryo and cannot achieve the Divine Descent Realm. When you undergo the Divine Descent, may I ascend the altar and experience the enlightenment alongside you?"

Cold Mountain Wanderer slightly frowned, ready to object, but Yu Tiancheng smiled and said, "Why not? Some of us Talismans Masters can't gather all Seven Treasures and often have four or five cultivators pooling money together to assemble the Seven Treasures. When the True God descends, four or five people cultivate together. You may come up."

Cold Mountain Wanderer frowned deeply, coughed, and was about to speak, when suddenly the Wandering Migrant discreetly tugged at his sleeve and lowered his voice to say, "Don't speak. Have you forgotten how in Gongzhou last time you were beaten to a pulp by the demon within him? If you anger him, and he dies with a grunt, another demon head would come and finish us off!"

Cold Mountain Wanderer sneered, "Am I someone who bullies the good and fears the evil?"

The Migrant said, "His father, Chen Tang, carries thirty-seven Fu Shen Tianji in a trunk, beating across Western Capital."

Cold Mountain Wanderer sneered even more.

The Migrant continued, "His uncle, Little Wu, swept through the ancestors of the Thirteen Families, silencing them like cicadas in winter."

Cold Mountain Wanderer still sneered, but he did not stop Chen Shi from ascending the altar.

Chen Shi sat beside Yu Tiancheng, who said, "When my master performs the ritual to offer the Seven Treasures, during the Divine Descent, seize the opportunity to sense it. However, you must rely on yourself, as there is not much I can do to help you."

Chen Shi expressed his gratitude and said to Cold Mountain Wanderer, "Thank you for your assistance, friend."

Cold Mountain Wanderer endured his anger and said, "I suffered much from your grandfather. My disciple should suffer from you. You must not let my poor disciple down..."

He was about to continue when he was repeatedly poked by the Migrant's finger, making him fall silent.

Cold Mountain Wanderer stepped forward and said, "I will perform the ritual to communicate with the heavens and earth. Tiancheng, seize the opportunity to offer the Seven Treasures without delay, understood?"

Yu Tiancheng replied, "I understand, Master!"

Cold Mountain Wanderer sighed inwardly, "My disciple is too honest, sharing his Divine Descent enlightenment with others. This time's offering will only grant him half the enlightenment, the other half benefiting Chen Yindou's grandson."

He revealed the Void Great Realm, his aura connecting heaven and earth, as if a passage led directly to the heavens, linking with the True God.

Chen Shi and Yu Tiancheng were spiritually invigorated, feeling as if the altar floated outside West Bull New Continent, in the cosmic starry sky, facing the True God.

Before them, the True God became immensely imposing, their spiritual consciousness insignificant like a drop in the ocean in front of Him.

Yu Tiancheng immediately offered the Seven Treasures, with the seven Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the altar transforming into rolling spiritual qi, soaring to the heavens following Cold Mountain Wanderer's aura!

The divine light from beyond the heavens stirred, descending to illuminate the altar, enveloping the two on the altar in divine light.

Uncontrollably, a Divine Shrine appeared behind Yu Tiancheng, and the Divine Embryo within flew up, soaring towards the heavens along the divine light.

Chen Shi also felt a vast, inexplicable power descending along the divine light, entering his mind like a god's whisper echoing within, his Divine Shrine eager to move. However, the white-robed fairy on the Divine Shrine only batted her eyes without taking flight.

Stone Rock Lady also sat unwaveringly in the Divine Shrine, unmoved.

Chen Shi's own Primordial Spirit also showed no reaction.

In Chen Shi's second small temple, a little Yaksha was hidden, being the Chief Nannan from Blue Sky, captured by him and placed on the Divine Shrine of the second small temple to aid his cultivation.

The divine light illuminated Chen Shi, but did not guide any Divine Embryo.

Cold Mountain Wanderer sighed, softly saying, "Gaining from my disciple for nothing..."

A strand of Chen Shi's Spirit was tethered to Yu Tiancheng's Divine Embryo; as Yu Tiancheng's Divine Embryo soared in the divine light, it integrated with the Outer Heaven True God!

The Divine Embryo, gifted by the Outer Heaven True God, merged with Him at that instant. Yu Tiancheng suddenly felt as if he had become the Outer Heaven True God, as boundless enlightenment surged into his mind!

At this moment, the Outer Heaven True God felt like his Primordial Spirit!

This is the mystery of the Divine Descent Realm!

The Outer Heaven True God will bestow a divine embryo during the Divine Embryo Realm, which has the effect of a primordial spirit. It can aid the cultivators in regulating Qi, accelerating their cultivation speed!

At the moment of ascending to the Divine Descent Realm, when the divine embryo returns to the True God's body, cultivators have a fleeting opportunity to experience the primordial spirit of the Outer Heaven True God, gaining immense benefits!

In just a fleeting moment, it benefits one for a lifetime!

Cold Mountain Wanderer gazed at the beam of light descending from the sky. The beam grew thicker, its dazzling seven-colored light illuminating several tens of miles around.

The two elders of Han Qian were moved, with Wanderer Qian Ke saying with a grave expression, "Han Shan, what kind of divine embryo does your disciple have? This divine descent is excessively powerful!"

Cold Mountain Wanderer said, "Second-grade divine embryo, and a portion has been shared with Chen Shi... no, that's not right!"

The light pillar of the divine descent grew thicker, already surpassing the insights obtainable from a second-grade divine embryo!

Moreover, the divine descent lasts merely a fleeting moment. As soon as the divine embryo returns to the True God's body, the divine embryo will return.

Although the seven treasures they prepared are excellent, the divine descent should have ended by now!

Yet the light from above grew more intense, and the insights of the True God contained within became deeper!

"Has it surpassed the first-grade?" Wanderer Qian Ke mumbled.

Cold Mountain Wanderer shivered slightly, knowing that the divine blessings on the altar had already exceeded those obtainable by a first-grade divine embryo!

The first-grade divine embryo is divided into the purple jade and Wenchang types, both top-tier divine embryos in the world. These divine embryos ascend to the heavens during the divine descent, merging with the True God and gaining a fleeting insight. Subsequently, the expanded divine embryo descends back to the cultivator's body.

Being a Purple Jade Divine Fetus himself, Cold Mountain Wanderer's divine descent was nowhere near this scale!

Far incomparable!

This is beyond what the divine embryo of Yu Tiancheng could obtain!

The light was so intense that even those a hundred miles away in Western Capital could see it clearly!

The Observatory had long arranged enormous copper mirrors aimed this way, with many masters flying from the Western Capital, rushing to Gaoshan County.

The two elders of Han Qian were startled, sensing several auras not weaker than their own, realizing these were masters of the Mahayana Realm. They immediately released their Void Great Realm to deter any ill intentions.

"No, no! The divine embryo of Tiancheng can't provoke such a large-scale descent!"

Cold Mountain Wanderer said with a look of horror, mumbling, "Is this descent caused by Chen Shi? Could the Innate Dao Embryo really be this powerful? It can't be this strong... Besides, his Innate Dao Embryo has already been taken away!"

Wanderer Qian Ke looked up to the sky, noting that the true god's descent had not yet ended.

"Perhaps the residual aura of the Innate Dao Embryo in his mind triggered this divine descent," Wanderer Qian Ke suggested.

Cold Mountain Wanderer said, "The scale of divine descent triggered by residual aura far exceeds ten times that of a first-grade divine embryo. Is it possible?"

Wanderer Qian Ke found it hard to believe as well.

At this moment, a divine embryo over three zhang tall descended along the divine light from the sky, emanating a tremendous aura!

The two elders of Han Qian were mesmerized, observing that this true god's descent had even the divine embryo's scale several times the normal descent!

Cold Mountain Wanderer was overjoyed, muttering, "My disciple has gained greatly from this child Scholar's opportunity..."

The divine embryo grew smaller, descending into the divine shrine.

The divine shrine behind Yu Tiancheng's head trembled, slowly shifting toward the back of Chen Shi's head!

Cold Mountain Wanderer's heart was pounding wildly. It was apparent this divine descent sensed the remaining aura of Chen Shi's Innate Dao Embryo, causing the divine embryo to naturally move toward Chen Shi, attempting to escape Yu Tiancheng's control!

If the divine embryo of Yu Tiancheng carried the divine shrine to the back of Chen Shi's head, pledging allegiance to Chen Shi, it could lead to the demise of his honest disciple!

Finally, the divine light vanished, and the divine shrine behind Yu Tiancheng's head gradually returned to its position.

Cold Mountain Wanderer breathed a sigh of relief, soaked in sweat as if fished out of the water.

Yu Tiancheng opened his eyes, dazed for a moment, and suddenly said, "Master, I seem to be on the verge of breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm!"

In this brief moment, he gained tremendous benefits, surpassing years or even more than a decade of arduous cultivation!
