Absorbing Heavenly Immortal Dao Power (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_1 Chapter 501: 227: Heavenly Vision!
Absorbing Heavenly Immortal Dao Power (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets)_1 Su Yanyan personally escorted people like Hua Zhenyu out of the Dao Orthodoxy, leaving only Chen Dengming behind.
Chen Dengming keenly perceived that when Hua Zhenyu and the others were sent out, a hint of Dao Force seemed to emerge on Su Yanyan, causing a fluctuation in the Human Immortal Dao Power within his body.
Then, the mist floating around the Heavenly Immortal Palace was manipulated by Su Yanyan.
It carried traces of time flowing by, seeping into the bodies of Hua Zhenyu and others.
“Is this…
...
extending their lifespan?
Or restoring their lifespan?”
A thought struck Chen Dengming.
Before long, Su Yanyan, the Third Ancestor, floated back with her robe billowing.
She landed before the hall with a hint of Immortal Qi, her eyes sweeping towards him.
“Did you sense that your lifespan was diminishing?”
Chen Dengming was taken aback and readily admitted, “Yes, I could faintly sense it…”
Su Yanyan gazed deeply at Chen Dengming, speaking calmly.
“You’ve already touched the Human Immortal Dao System and possessed Human Immortal Dao Power, so you naturally can sense the presence of Heavenly Immortal Dao Power! But perceiving the traces of flowing time is no small feat.”
Before Chen Dengming could respond, she continued, “However, it’s this very peculiarity that proves that you indeed have destiny with our Heavenly Immortal Dao Orthodoxy.
Even I initially had no way of sensing these traces of flowing time.”
Chen Dengming understood that Su Yanyan was not intending to probe his secrets.
Her words were a form of acceptance of him.
This made him feel almost embarrassed.
If judged by talent, he was quite lacking.
The reason he could sense the traces of time was simple: practice makes perfect.
After the Heavenly Immortal Palace had taken his lifespan so many times without him noticing, if he still couldn’t sense it, it wouldn’t be Chen Baimao.
However, he still had many doubts.
“Just now, I noticed, Third Ancestor, you seemed to use Dao Force to increase the lifespan of my senior apprentice brother and others.
What was that!?”
Su Yanyan’s lips, marked by a beauty spot, curled up in a charming smile as she shook her head gently and laughed.
“You’re too naive.
Do you think I could give lifespan to others?
Even the Ancestor, at best, can only take away lifespan, but cannot bestow it.
That touches upon the profound Heavenly Dao, that is, ‘The Dao of Heaven, depletes the excessive, and supplements the deficient’.”
Her words paused, and glancing at the perplexed Chen Dengming, she spoke, “Just now, I merely returned their lost lifespan.
It was merely a test, so they would know they had consumed their lifespan in the Dao Orthodoxy.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming was enlightened, but another doubt arose, “Third Ancestor, earlier we were just standing at the doorway for a moment, we hadn’t even entered the Heavenly Immortal Palace when you declared we had completed the test.
Was this test to see who could sense the traces of flowing time?”
“Not exactly.”
Su Yanyan’s gaze shifted towards the Heavenly Immortal Palace, concealing the surprise in her eyes, “As I mentioned, when I first arrived here, I couldn’t even perceive the traces of time.
How could I set this as a standard.
The moment you all laid eyes on the Heavenly Immortal Palace, the various images that appeared in your mind were signs of being in contact with the Heavenly Immortal Dao!
Unlike everyone else, your mind didn’t form any image.
Instead, you broke through the illusions and pointed at the truth, actually coming into real contact with the Heavenly Immortal Dao.
It just shows that your understanding of Dao is more profound.”
“Third Ancestor, you’re too kind.”
Chen Dengming responded modestly.
Actually, according to some schools of thought from his past life, he was in the state of ‘Only Heart’.

The heavens were in his heart, and his heart was the heavens.
Whether the Heavenly Immortal Dao was awe-inspiring or humble, although he understood it, he could not access it, control it, or let it influence his heart.
Whether it be earth-shattering disasters or splendid sun rays and rain nourishing the world, all are forms of Heavenly Dao’s cycle.
No one can claim any one aspect is right or wrong.
All have the potential to happen.
Chen Dengming observed all these events calmly, eyes open when it’s day, eyes closed when it’s night.
Even when his eyes closed during the day and opened at night.
The upheavals of the world are simply decided by his momentary thoughts.
His heart is the heavenly heart.
This is not only a testament of the spiritual legacy of the Human Immortal Dao System, but it also converges with the Heavenly Immortal Dao, which believes in ‘the heavens are unkind, treating everything like straw dogs’, showing no favoritism.
Therefore, the potential he showed on the Heavenly Immortal Dao allowed him to stand out because he has truly approached the highest principles of Heavenly Immortal Dao.
The others, regardless of whether they perceived the punishment or mercy of Heaven, were only partial and incomplete understandings.
Su Yanyan added, “You don’t need to be modest.
Your performance indeed exceeded my expectations.
Actually, the talents of the others aren’t bad either.
For instance, Hua Zhenyu and Tan Siyan, they would have been selected as the Longevity Seeds if they had participated a few hundred years ago.
The potential and ability of Hua Zhenyu are not at all inferior to that of your Elder Uncle Master Xing.
Regrettably, resources are limited and we can only select one Longevity Seed each time.”
Chen Dengming was startled but promptly understood.
Extreme talents aren’t common commodities that can be found every day.
Maybe only one can be nurtured in several hundred years.
That’s why among the seventeen Longevity Seeds selected by the Longevity Sect in the past, many of them might not have been as talented as Hua Zhenyu or even less talent.
Among these Longevity Seeds, only a handful could successfully overcome the Nascent Soul stage to become ancestors.
After all, even the Longevity Seeds have cultivation bottlenecks.
