Hengsheng continued to comprehend the law with all of his focus for three whole days without rest.

He gained a deeper understanding of the Law of Fire, and as a result, the law skill in the Ultimate Leveling System leveled up several times.

He withdrew his divine sense from the manifestation of the Fire Law since he felt the law comprehension rate slowing down. He realized that he was approaching the limit of his current comprehension capacity to continue understanding the Fire Law.

It would be a waste of time if he kept pushing it further. It was better to wait until he digested the understanding he had gained from this comprehension before attempting to comprehend it again next time.

Hengsheng gazed at the details of the law skill one last time before moving on to comprehend other laws.

He opened his eyes for the first time in three days and observed his surroundings with his naked eyes.

The fourteen disciples were still restlessly comprehending the Dao. They had not moved from their spots even once. Aside from them, he noticed a new face had appeared in the Dao Field—a female cultivator with strange silver hair, dressed in a blue-silver long dress.

She was clearly not a Golden Sword sect member.

Hengsheng was quite surprised that the Golden Sword Sect allowed another cultivator to enter their Dao Field beside him.

If the Golden Sword sect brought her here for the same reason as him—that is, valuing her strength—then she must be quite strong.

He did not need to use his divine sense on her; with his naked eyes alone, he could see the aura she emitted.

He could tell that she possessed an impressive understanding of the law—a powerful one. If her understanding of the law were converted into a law skill level in the Ultimate Leveling System, then she must possess at least a level 25 law skill.

While he was observing her Her expression suddenly changed into something displeased.

He stopped his observation immediately, not wanting to face an awkward situation like being caught watching a woman working out at the gym.

On his side, Yunsu was lying on the mattress as if she were sleeping, but he could feel that she was now emitting an aura of law.

Actually, he sensed something even more profound than the law from her—something similar sensation to his Dao Heart. Without hesitation, he opened her status panel with his system.

…..

…..

Hengsheng's eyes widened in shock as he saw the Dao appear in her attainments section. He thought to himself, "How is this possible!?"

Then he recalled that Yunsu was a spirit beast, not a human. She didn’t need to cultivate to develop a means to contain the Dao within her very being like humans did in order to wield its power!

Her Five Agents bloodline seemed to be the main reason she achieved this feat in such a short time. He had heard from his mother that high-rank cultivators usually took years, or even decades, to comprehend and grasp a glimpse of the Dao—not just a few days as she had.

He gazed at the carefree cat rolling around on the mattress, effortlessly comprehending the Dao naturally. He couldn’t help but envy her Bloodline heritage.

"This is why the spirit race doesn’t need the Dao Heart like humans do—because it’s unnecessary." Hengsheng thought.

He petted her fluffy fur for a while to recharge his cat energy.

Meanwhile, he also observed the Dao Field core—the stone tablet—which continuously emitted the Dao Rhythm without stopping.

On its surface, he saw unknown runes engraved all over it. Each rune emitted Dao Rhythm resonances that intertwined before sending out a profound rhythm through the entire Dao Field.

He tried to recall his rune knowledge, attempting to decipher their meaning, but none of the engravings matched anything in his memory.

It seemed that his idea of comprehending the Dao directly by observing the Dao Field core was useless.

"When it comes to Dao-related matters, the Heavenly Dao seems like it won’t let me cheat using my system’s power easily," Hengsheng thought.

He could only rely on the traditional method in this case. Closing his eyes once more, he took a deep breath.

Inspired by Yunsu, he would now attempt to truly comprehend the Dao itself—not just its component laws.

"Let’s see if I could cheat the norm of this world and grasp the power of the Dao for myself."

Garrrrr!

Guraaa!

The abomination monsters' cries echoed throughout the bamboo forest. When Hengsheng arrived at this place not long ago, the army of the God Spawn was still in a dormant stage, not actively doing anything—only waiting for the command of their lord.

However, ten thousand of the abomination monsters had now begun to move!

They spread out through the whole forest, hunting and eating anything that moved—whether it was Demon Beasts or humans that did not bear the mark of their lord. Each consumption made them grow stronger at an astonishing rate.

Their growth rate in strength was something that no cultivator or any other being within the Heavenly Dao world couldn't achieve.

Garrrr!

A long, centipede-shaped God Spawn got hold of a Stone Monkey, a rank 3 demon beast. The Stone Monkey roared, attacking the God Spawn's body with its stone fists, hoping to break free from its grasp.

But the God Spawn kept healing—rendering the monkey’s attacks useless.

It twisted its abominable body, wrapping around the monkey’s torso, and then, with countless bites from its countless mouths, the Stone Monkey was eaten alive.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering rang from its many jaws. As the long-bodied God Spawn consumed the Stone Monkey’s essence, its unstable form began to shift.

Its long body soon sprouted four limbs—similar to the Stone Monkey’s. Not only did its physical form change, but its aura also grew more powerful. If its strength had been at Tier 2 before, it had now stepped into Tier 3.

Roarrrrrrrr!

Sights like this occurred all over—not just in the bamboo forest but it would soon extend to nearby terrain and even farther beyond. Right now, the God Spawn had received a command from its lord: Hunt everything. Grow stronger. As much as possible.

At the altar of the Wu God in the main camp of the Heavenless Dao Cult, a hundred cultivators surrounded it and knelt down as they prayed and worshiped toward the Wu God statue. Their mouths murmured the Wu God's title, each word seeming to reach the deformed creature statue.

As a response from the Wu God statue, a pulse of unknown energy was sent to its followers. The unknown energy merged with their spiritual Qi, changing its nature toward the law of the Wu God. It became Wu Qi—the Qi that does not belong to Heaven!

Sensing the surge of power running through their very beings without effort, they only needed to pray to their deity the Wu God for power—there was no need to go through hardship to gain strength as the Heavenly Dao forced them to do.

Most of the black-mask cultivators started to make pleased expressions. They believed they had chosen the right path. Many of them had long exhausted the talents that Heaven had bestowed upon them at birth. Unable to progress any further on the cultivation path, they were left bitter, and resentful.

These cultivators were the ones who held the most grudge against Heaven. In their minds, Heaven was unfair, cruel, and heartless—which was true, as everyone knew—but they were the ones who did not benefit from Heaven's unfairness. They were not willing to accept it.

When the Heavenless Dao Cult showed up and gave them an opportunity, they did not hesitate to turn their back on heaven and left the Heavenly Path, becoming traitors of the Heavenly Dao World right away.

Jin Da-Shan, at the front row before the Wu God statue, was the greatest beneficiary of the early ceremony.

As the possessor of the Wu Dao Seed—a seed planted in the very being of the cultivator—its purpose was to assimilate them with the Wu God's Laws, granting them the characteristics of a being within the Wu God's authority.

Because of this, the unknown energy not only altered his spiritual Qi nature but also empowered his Wu Being characteristics directly, devouring his own cultivator nature little by little and soon transforming all of his spiritual Qi into the unknown energy—Chakra.
