This battle came swiftly and ended just as quickly. From the moment when Feng Ruotong unleashed the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence to trap the Heavenly Venerate, to when the Heavenly Venerate annihilated everyone, only a few breaths had passed.

Even the collision between the Heavenly Dao Immortals and the Heavenly Venerate sent no shockwaves out of the inferno, causing little impact on Heavenly Dao City.

The people of Heavenly Dao City merely thought the sudden appearance of the inferno in the sky was peculiar, but it quickly dissipated. Only the heart-wrenching scream of the Heavenly Venerate left several frail people fainted.

The Heavenly Venerate staggered to his feet, the power of the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence was indeed formidable. Although it only burned for a moment, it almost melted his physical body, leaving him with lingering fear.

"If I were captured into the bottle, even Feng Ruotong could refine me to death. The Magical Treasures of the Huaxia Divine Continent are indeed extraordinary."

He couldn't help but feel somewhat terrified.

He had suffered from two Magical Treasures, one being the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, the other being the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword. Both Magical Treasures originated from the Huaxia Divine Continent.

"Qing Yang, that scoundrel..."

The Heavenly Venerate steadied his emotions and looked around, only to find that Qing Yang Daoist had vanished, most likely sneaking away amidst their intense battle.

"This rascal, slippery as an eel."

The Heavenly Venerate, enveloped in divine light, entered Despair Slope. Some Heavenly Dao Practitioners, startled by the commotion, were flying out.

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerate!" they hastily paid their respects to the Heavenly Venerate.

The Heavenly Venerate ignored them and hurriedly passed by, heading straight towards the True God Dojo through the Welcoming Immortals Tower.

As he passed by the altar, he looked over from a distance and saw Fairy Qiu Ning guarding there, monitoring the disturbances between the Yin and Yang Realms.

"Heavenly Dao City is not within the surveillance range of the copper mirror, so Qiu Ning doesn't know what has happened in the city."

The Heavenly Venerate paid no mind, and as he passed by Qiankun Academy from a distance, he saw Gong Wanqing and the other Heavenly Dao Immortals striving to activate the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace. The enormous Divine Furnace hovered in the air, concealing creation and evolving mysteries, emitting a near-immortal strong aura from within.

"The day to open the furnace and harvest the Heavenly Soldiers is not far now."

The Heavenly Venerate hurried through, rushing to Tianyuan Palace, thinking, "Once this batch of Heavenly Soldiers matures, I can sweep through everything. As for Gong Wanqing and Qiu Ning... perhaps it's time to replace them with a more obedient group. After refining this realm, my task will be considered complete."

He exhaled deeply. For these sixteen thousand years, he had been exceedingly cautious, treading on thin ice, fearing any mishaps.

But now, many issues seem to have been resolved, relieving much of his pressure.

"The Demon Emperor is eliminated, and Feng Ruotong the traitor is also dealt with. Now, only Lady Houtu remains."

The Heavenly Venerate said softly, "After refining back my original form, I'll mobilize the True God to send this Lady away. If the True God can't subdue Lady Houtu, then there's only the option of awakening it."

He suddenly shuddered, clearly reluctant to awaken that thing.

"It is not yet time to awaken it. Besides the True God, I still have the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace."

He thought to himself, "Though the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence is the strongest Magical Treasure from the Huaxia Divine Continent, the power of the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace is by no means inferior!"

Xinxiang Imperial City.

Chen Shi convened all officials of the Ministry of Rites, along with the True Princess, Wu Qi, and others, to study the various classics from the Heavenly Pond Country.

Under the rulership of Skull Chen Shi, the cultivation techniques of various races have been decrypted by Chen Shi. Now, the Ministry of Rites' task is to decipher the Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns of these techniques, transforming them into a cultivation method that cultivators can practice.

The cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Pond Country are legacies from the Great Shang Era, of incredibly high quality, often reaching the level of Immortal Laws. The Blood Lake Scripture practiced by Skull Chen Shi was acquired from one of these techniques.

Deciphering the Great Shang techniques is of paramount importance as it can greatly enrich the nation's Immortal Laws.

Little Dun Fairy herself hails from the Great Shang, and Wu Qi is the foremost Great Witch of the Great Shang, responsible for heritage. Their involvement in cracking these techniques is thus well-suited and advantageous.

Chen Shi entrusted these matters to the others, and left the Imperial Capital on his own, arriving at the Fusang Tree of Qianyang Mountain. Grandfather Chen Yindou built a house here, a small yard with a few chickens.

When Chen Shi arrived, Grandfather was making a new wooden cart for himself, working meticulously on the carpentry.

When Chen Shi approached, Grandfather noticed him, glanced at him, and said, "Why are you running to the countryside instead of being the Emperor in the city?"

Chen Shi came to his side, helped him operate the marking line, and smiled, "I don't love being a True King. There's too much involved, I'd rather run away."

Chen Yindou said, "If you don't be a True King, what about your subordinates? They followed you through life and death, across lands, revolting and killing for what? Isn't it for wealth and high status? If you don't act as the True King, how do they achieve wealth and high status?"

Chen Shi thought about it and realized there was truth in his words, laughing, "Grandpa, why are you making a wooden cart? I can buy you one."

Chen Yindou shook his head, "As a Talisman Master, I don't need the luxurious Treasure Chariots in the palace. If I take it to the countryside, it will frighten the villagers."

Chen Shi hesitated and said, "Grandpa, don't you want wealth and high status?"

"I have no ambition in this. If I wanted, I could have had it long ago."

Chen Yindou said, "I am an independent cultivator, not obliged to be burdened by the Court. I know your purpose for seeking me. The items are ready and placed right there."

Chen Shi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a stack of thick books on the table.

He walked forward, opened the first booklet, and saw that it was the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique. Chen Shi skimmed through it, finding it to be the Foundation Establishment Method of the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique, covering the realms of Qi Collection, Foundation Establishment, Divine Shrine, and Divine Embryo, including the spell Meridian Evil Slayer Sword.

He put down this booklet and picked up the second one, which also documented the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique, but recorded the methods for achieving the Golden Core, including the essential techniques of the seven transformations, eight variations, and nine restorations of the Golden Core. This method is extremely straightforward, making it easy to begin cultivation with a sense of returning to simplicity!

As for the accompanying spells, they encompassed several basic spell systems such as sword, method, formation, and thunder.

Chen Shi opened the third booklet, which was still about the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique, documenting the Nascent Soul cultivation method. This cultivation technique was also quite easy to grasp, but as one progressed, it became increasingly difficult.

The accompanying spells also grew more complicated.

Chen Shi opened the fourth booklet, which recorded the Primordial Spirit cultivation method. It, too, started from simplicity and advanced into complexity, progressing step by step.

Here, the accompanying spells primarily served to inspire and guide cultivators in developing new spells, rather than rigidly adhering to the old ones.

The fifth booklet pertained to Returning Void, the method for cultivating the Void Great Realm, and similarly went from simple to complex, from easy to difficult.

In this realm, there were no accompanying spells, seemingly leaving it to the cultivator's own understanding.

Chen Shi closed the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique, stroked the book cover, pondered for a long time, and asked, "Grandfather, did you write these back then?"

Chen Yindou continued working on a chariot wheel and replied, "I wrote part of it back then, but later on, I was scolded by the officials of the Thirteen Families, who said I had ill intentions and was causing chaos, so I stopped writing and left office. The rest, I added a few days ago. Perhaps they will be useful to you."

Chen Shi put away the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique, saying, "These books will help me become a better True King. Grandfather, why did you name this cultivation technique the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique in the first place?"

Chen Yindou put down the chariot wheel and said, "The heavenly heart represents the hearts of the people. Only a Saint with utmost sincerity aligns with the heavenly heart, embodying great virtue. It means that winning the people's hearts is akin to winning the heavenly heart, which defines a Saint. Righteous Qi of the Heavenly Heart is, therefore, the Righteous Qi of the People's Heart."

"The Righteous Qi of the People's Heart?" Chen Shi murmured.

At that moment, the sound of something tearing through the air came from outside, rushing toward him.

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly. He raised his palm, and a jade bottle over a foot high flew into his hand, landing lightly in his palm.

The Flask of Yin and Yang Essence.

The bottle was stained with mottled blood marks.

Chen Shi gazed at these blood stains, falling silent.

He looked inside the bottle and saw a small pinch of incense ash, which was the incense he offered to this Immortal Artifact.

"This stick of incense from Your Majesty can be considered its first one. From then on, this treasure is connected with your qi-blood."

In his ears, it seemed the voice of Feng Ruotong echoed.

But, with the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence by his side, what of Feng Ruotong and those Immortals who wielded this treasure? Where were they?

Chen Shi lit an incense stick on the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence. The smoke curled upward, again flooding him with a sensation of breathing together with the jade bottle.

Hesitating, Chen Shi lit an incense stick for Feng Ruotong, internally musing, "If Feng Ruotong is still alive, if his Primordial Spirit or soul remains, this incense would drift to him…"

The incense smoke drifted straight up into the air.

Chen Shi watched the incense smoke, bowing with the incense towards the empty air.

The person had passed, even this incense could not be received.

"Grandfather, you once went to Despair Slope, must have seen the Heavenly Venerate. If one wished to kill a being like the Heavenly Venerate, how should it be done?" Chen Shi inquired.

Chen Yindou raised his head, lost in thought. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I can't find any opportunity to kill the Heavenly Venerate. He wields the Outer Heaven True God, has the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, and coupled with the unfathomable flesh of Ghost Gods, I can't think of any method to kill him. He has no weakness."

Chen Shi said, "He has a weakness. His weakness lies in his physical body, which is of the Rushou Bloodline. The corresponding Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern is the Autumn Officer Heavenly Punishment Technique. Little Dun and I have already researched how to break his physical body."

Chen Yindou's eyes brightened, saying, "This plan is feasible. If the Heavenly Venerate's physical body can be broken, you can use the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword and this Flask of Yin and Yang Essence to limit the power of his physical body. But his greatest strength is still his Primordial Spirit and his Harmonization Land. Breaking his Primordial Spirit is extremely difficult; its flaws are elusive. Another key is his Harmonization Land, which he will certainly hide, giving no one the opportunity to destroy it."

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly, saying, "He has always dwelt in Despair Slope; could his Harmonization Land be Despair Slope itself?"

Chen Yindou shook his head, saying, "It absolutely cannot be Despair Slope. He could entirely hide his Harmonization Small World in the void, where it's much safer. One way to find his Harmonization Land is when he uses his full strength; the power of his Harmonization Land will be mobilized. Then, one can locate where his Harmonization Land is. But where can such a high-level expert be found?"

Chen Shi's eyes lit up, "I have one."

Chen Yindou said, "An expert like that is certain to die."

Chen Shi said slowly, "He owes me a debt of gratitude, one he can never repay. I need to prepare more magical treasures for him; he will risk his life to force the Heavenly Venerate to use his full power!"
