Chapter 373

Shen Qing left the transmission gate passage and headed toward Receiving Sea; Penglai Island is located in Receiving Sea.

Why did the Penglai Old Ancestor choose Penglai Island as a dojo? Why did the Destroyer Heavenly Dao choose to invade the Karmic Heavenly Dao on Penglai Island? Because the Karmic Heavenly Dao is right here.

After Shen Qing comprehended Instant Eternity, his speed reached a terrifying level.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Shen Qing crossed half the distance of Great Wu, reaching the position of Penglai Island in Receiving Sea from the Far North.

Shen Qing raised his hand and directly tore open an opening, entering Penglai Island.

Although several months have passed since the last visit, there hasn't been much change here, but the accumulated evil qi has mostly dissipated.

Shen Qing casually plucked a precious fruit and walked toward the island's interior while eating it.

He took a bite, and juice burst out.

The Fortune Incarnation Phoenix fluttered its wings and flew out, its face full of excitement: "Hey, Shen Qing, you're here again! When will you throw some storytellers in here for me?"

"There isn't a single living thing here; it's so boring."

Shen Qing glanced at it: "You find this boring? You've been nailed to the wall by that arrow for two thousand years—how aren't you bored?"

Upon hearing this, the Phoenix immediately got fired up, opening its beak: "Who said that! I'm telling you, I'm about to go crazy, you know..."

The Phoenix's beak opened and couldn't close.

Shen Qing directly reached out and pinched its beak, giving it a manual mute.

Afterwards, he grabbed the Phoenix and headed toward the island's interior.

"Can your Fortune Incarnations communicate with the Heavenly Dao? Has the Karmic Heavenly Dao ever spoken to you?"

Because its beak was pinched, the Phoenix could only flap its wings against Shen Qing's arm; Shen Qing released his grip, the Phoenix took several deep breaths, and then spoke.

"You're talking about the Heavenly Dao, right?"

"He could still chat with me three thousand years ago, which is not bad; all our Fortune Incarnations are incubated by the Karmic Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao's words are still fine."

"By your human standards, he's just a nice old man."

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes; according to what the Phoenix said, this Karmic Heavenly Dao seems not bad—at least from what it has done and the Phoenix's description, it's indeed not harmful.

It seems the Heavenly Dao is also divided into factions, like the Destroyer Heavenly Dao's frenzied invasion, the Life Heavenly Dao's tumor-like nature, and the Karmic Heavenly Dao, which counts as the true Heavenly Dao.

The Phoenix continued speaking.

"After the Destroyer Heavenly Dao attacked three thousand years ago, the Karmic Heavenly Dao's words have been dwindling ever since."

"Later on, it stopped speaking altogether."

Shen Qing frowned: "Could it have been beaten stupid?"

These so-called Heavenly Daos are also a kind of alternative sentient being; this possibility cannot be ruled out.

The Phoenix fell silent for a moment, then solemnly nodded: "It's possible."

Shen Qing strode forward toward the place where the Destroyer Heavenly Dao invaded.

"Let's go take a look."

Soon, Shen Qing felt the immense Karmic Power; its reserves were vastly greater than the Life Heavenly Dao's Life Power reserves.

After all, this world's size is ten times that of the Elf World.

Shen Qing continued deeper, arriving at the spot where the Destroyer Heavenly Dao tore open a rift.

Here, he lifted his head and constantly searched; the Karmic Net spread out, following the residual Karmic threads in the air, tracing the vine to the melon, and finally he discovered the Karmic Heavenly Dao's silhouette in a corner of the void.

This Karmic Heavenly Dao is like the Life Heavenly Dao—a ball of light; their colors are similar, the Life Heavenly Dao is white, the Karmic Heavenly Dao is milky white.

But now its aura is extremely feeble, as if it has fallen into slumber.

Shen Qing called out: "Hey, can you hear me speaking?"

Shen Qing reached out and poked the Karmic Heavenly Dao with his used power, but it remained unresponsive.

Shen Qing furrowed his brows, then extended his right hand to probe with Destroyer Power; this time there was a reaction.

Before Shen Qing could even poke it with Destroyer Power, it sensed the aura of Destroyer Power and began to tremble, its light flickering.

Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh: "It really has been beaten stupid, even developing psychological trauma."

As long as it's not dead, it's just heavily injured and asleep.

Shen Qing raised his hand and infused several strands of Life Power to heal the Karmic Heavenly Dao.

Then he directly activated the Steal Heaven and Replace Sun Grand Method to begin devouring Karmic Power.

This isn't robbery; it's an equivalent exchange—one part is Shen Qing's lifesaving fee for rescuing the Karmic Heavenly Dao, the other is the current treatment cost.

So, taking a bit of Karmic Power from you after adding both together isn't excessive, is it?

After about the time to finish a cup of tea, a slight swelling sensation came from Shen Qing's left hand's Karmic Power, and he stopped.

In this space there isn't much causal power left; however, under Shen Qing's treatment the condition of the causal heavenly Dao has improved a lot—I estimate it won't be long before it wakes up.

By the time Shen Qing returned to the battlefield of realms, half a day had already passed.

Martial Emperor and Shen Wenda, true to their top-tier comprehension, successfully grasped the usage of the supreme power in just a short half day.

Shen Wenda manifested as a golden heavenly-supporting dharma aspect, attaching the power of extinction to the blade of the giant axe; with one swing, the void was directly torn open, a gap tens of thousands of meters long.

Martial Emperor, meanwhile, fused the power of destruction into his own slaughter domain; originally pure blood-red, it is gradually turning black, and its aura has become even more violent and terrifying.

Meanwhile, Li Lun off to the side was dumbfounded; he couldn't figure out how Shen Wenda and Martial Emperor obtained the supreme power and completed their comprehension of its usage within a single day.

But he didn't dare to ask.

Martial Emperor was originally a demon pill; now he has mastered the supreme power, and moreover, the power of destruction—which is famed for attack and destruction—makes him even more lawless.

Kai Er was meanwhile staring eagerly from the side; when he saw Shen Qing, his eyes lit up immediately, but before Kai Er could speak, Shen Qing spoke first: 'Senior Kai Er, rest assured I haven't forgotten you.'

Shen Qing pointed a finger and directly bestowed vital energy onto Kai Er.

Kai Er's strength is the weakest, so naturally he focuses on self-preservation; therefore Shen Qing left him some vital energy.

Martial Emperor also saw Shen Qing: 'Ah, Shen Qing, you've finally come! I can't wait to go beat them up! Hurry, hurry, hurry—let's set out!'

Shen Qing naturally had no objection either; Shen Wenda over there also looked eager, and Kai Er had no objection—vital energy differs from destructive and extinction powers in that it doesn't require comprehension of its usage; once obtained, it can be used directly.

As for the Wheel of Reincarnation, his opinion doesn't matter.

Several people swiftly charged toward the portal passage to the Evil Spirit World, and before long they arrived there in a hurry.

The Martial Emperor and Shen Wen Dao stepped onto this scorched-black land, the Martial Emperor's entire body brimming with fighting spirit.

"A thousand years! Finally the time to break has come!"

"Shen Qing, can you pinpoint it?"

But Shen Qing gave no reply; several people turned to look at him, finding Shen Qing pounding something, with four supreme powers on his hands constantly glowing.

This light was very familiar; the Martial Emperor and Shen Wen Dao's eyelids twitched instantly.

"Shen Qing, what are you doing?"

Shen Qing chuckled: "I'm rubbing the fire lotus."

That senior surnamed Xiao values martial virtue more, and wants to meet in person before rubbing the fire lotus.

Shen Qing doesn't observe martial virtue; if he had already made the fire lotus on his way to find the Primordial in the past, he would simply toss it when they meet.

Then, how should the Primordial respond?
