Chapter 1248: 486: Resentments of all beings!
Only by obtaining and losing the Dao do we understand He Dao (5.6K) Chapter 1248: 486: Resentments of all beings!
Only by obtaining and losing the Dao do we understand He Dao (5.6K) Accompanied by two enormous wills clashing outside the fog, the vast and terrifying aura of Shenxu eventually also disappeared.
Chen Dengming keenly sensed the gaze of Heavenly Dao, imbued with Heavenly Will, sweeping toward him as it retracted.
He struggled to keep his mind calm, stabilizing his state in the Heavenly Heart State, maintaining the Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain around him from dissipating, and strived to send a signal: “Friend, not foe.”
It’s better to let your father in the skies wake up grumpy and dish out a beating; that too would be an act of care from one’s own.
It was better than being killed on the spot by Shenxu, the mad elder not of his own.
The vast, ice-cold gaze of Heavenly Dao, filled with intense pressure, merely swept over Chen Dengming, then paused.
...
In that moment, it seemed the air all around fell into a momentary silence, as if instantly transported to the depths of an immense ocean, surrounded from all sides by pressures that could crush a person to bits.
Chen Dengming’s forehead broke out in cold sweat; without even looking, he could feel an icy gaze peering from the depths of the fog, he could hear his own heartbeat, barely managing to maintain his Heavenly Heart State.
Fortunately, this gaze swiftly vanished.
The fog closed, as if Heavenly Dao’s eyelids had shut once more, closing the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, continuing its slumber.
Feeling the terrifying oppressive gaze recede, Chen Dengming still dared not take deep breaths for a long while.
After a moment, once sure of his safety, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, his heart relaxing.
It seemed that Heavenly Dao still recognized kin, or at least, determined he had no evil intent and his aura was not abominable, and therefore did not launch another attack against him.
Had it been the Ancestor and Qu Shenzong, who had offended Heavenly Dao, present here, they likely could not have stayed calmly within this fog close to Heavenly Dao, and would have been attacked and expelled.
“What does this suggest, that Heavenly Dao can be somewhat petty…?”
Chen Dengming muttered silently to himself, secretly observing Heavenly Dao within the depths of the fog, immediately reconsidering and reflecting, “No, that’s not right; if Heaven has feelings, even heaven will grow old, it’s right that Heavenly Dao is unfeeling, acting entirely on instincts.
If instincts feel disgust or threat, an overreaction is natural.
Now, to him, I bear no malice nor threats, not even a purpose…
with his will, naturally, he would discern.”
Chen Dengming then quietly lingered in the fog a while longer, meanwhile stealthily observing any traces of Shenxu outside the fog.
In the Outer Space beyond the fog, Shenxu’s figure was nowhere to be found.
Faint traces of Spiritual Might and Incense Faith Power still lingered in the air, as if to prove Chen Dengming’s encounters were no illusion.
For safety’s sake, Chen Dengming did not immediately venture out, instead remaining within the fog, slowly absorbing the Heavenly Immortal Dao Power around him for cultivation.
Having gained rare entry into this Land Where Heavenly Dao Sleeps without being expelled, and as outside dangers were not yet completely thwarted, it was only natural to stay and stealthily strengthen himself here.
Chen Dengming had realized that the encompassing fog was actually constituted of diluted Heavenly Immortal Dao Power and some Immortal Spirit Qi.
And this fog seemed to be the breath exhaled by Heavenly Dao during its slumber.
He absorbed these remnants breathed out by Heavenly Dao, while observing.
He noticed the fog billowing like the tides, its huge spread and the very long intervals between Heavenly Dao’s inhalations and exhalations making it nearly an hour per inhalation and exhalation, barely noticeable without close observation, the rise and fall of the fog.
Each rising tide brought with it Immortal Spirit Qi from the broken fragments of the Heavenly Immortal Realm below, drifting up, merging into the fog at the center.
Each ebbing tide saw more fog emanate from the center.
Some of this fog would drift down with the wind, gradually thinning and dissipating, scattering across the landscape.
No wonder the Immortal Spirit Qi of the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm was dissipating, with such a giant entity breathing in and feeding above, even if Heavenly Dao was in a state of deep slumber, consuming minuscules, over time the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm would struggle to support this.
Chen Dengming harbored doubts.
If Heavenly Dao were awake, still in its former True Immortal state, how would it maintain its own rank without falling, while ensuring that the energy within the Heavenly Immortal Realm remained balanced?
“Perhaps it’s the Universe Energy…”
Chen Dengming speculated, looking up at the Universe Energy above the Outer Space.
Universe Energy is quite special, slightly stronger than Divine Transformation Mana, yet weaker than Dao Force, on par with Immortal Spirit Qi.
Although time-consuming to refine, for an Immortal, perhaps refining it wouldn’t be too difficult.
There were also ancient rumors that God Immortals often gathered the energy from beyond the heavens and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine into Immortal Pills.
The reason for gathering this energy from beyond was clearly to maintain energy stability within their own realms.

The Universe is vast and boundless, and the Universe Energy, nearly inexhaustible, indeed forms a very good resource.
But Chen Dengming had tried before; he could not absorb and refine Universe Energy smoothly, the time and effort required possibly consuming his own Mana, laborious and hardly rewarding.
Much like a mortal hacking wood all afternoon to satiate his hunger, only to receive a steamed bun as compensation, the energy consumed barely making ends meet, let alone allowing for advancement.
“Resources…
at the level of an Immortal, perhaps resources are indeed readily available, and there would not be such scarcity across the Four Seas and Four Realms.
The barrenness and desolation of the Four Seas and Four Realms are directly linked to the fall of the Five Great True Immortals, and now with Heavenly Dao asleep, it won’t actively absorb Universe Energy, only increasing the burden on the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm!”
