Yan Zaizen recalled Zhou Xiuhei's words: ”The Herculean Path and Fiendgod Path is intrinsically different but silently linked. Unfortunately, they are, at the end of the day, different paths beneath the Earths and Skies. One cultivates the fleshy body to maximum potential; the other cultivates the energy stored within one's cells. This allows the body to undergo changes, even develop a bloodline based on your species, race, cultivation method, and vital energy qualities.”

”To cultivate the Fiendgod Path, you'll need to find a method suitable for you. Your physique may increase in strength, but your vital energy won't move an inch from the Herculean Path henceforth. However, your vital energy is crucial for the one Fiendgod-type martial arts we possess - Herculean Avatar Art. The greater your vital energy, the greater your refined regalia's potential.”

Those words originally left him despondent. After all, his Fiendgod cultivation only reached the second rank. His initial assumption of using heavenly drops to enhance his vital energy was immediately rejected by Zhou Xiuhei. If he integrated too much heavenly law energy into his body, he'll slowly assimilate into the heaven itself. For Heavenly Cultivators, the heavenly law liquid is used in their heavenly shrines as a power cell, not to refine their bodies. After all, heavenly law liquid was essentially the heaven's true atmospheric essence in its purest form.

”You should wait till you find an appropriate Fiendgod cultivation method,” Pinaka suggested. Agreeing, he put this matter to the back of his mind. Focusing on this wouldn't do any good.

”I need space and time-attributed heavenly material…” As he murmured, he realized that he currently reached the requirements for the Heavenly Genesis Realm. A Mortal Dao, bestowed or true, minor-Manifestation level in a law, and peak-True Essence cultivation base. Finally, he could take a step into the heavenly path!

”Young one,” A voice once more resounded in his soul, causing Yan Zaizen to jump slightly. This old man truly didn't have any qualms with sending sudden soul transmissions. In truth, Yan Zaizen wasn't used to this type of communication. If he soul transmitted, it would be him towards others and not the other way around. Or, he would expect it like in the Deluge Realm.

”Yes, Grandpa Xiu?” Yan Zaizen decisively decided to address Zhou Xiuhei as this and only this. Since that day at the pool, he couldn't sleep naturally no matter how hard he tried. He was inwardly pissed at him for halting his sleep, but he didn't dare to show it. His tone was honest and genuine whenever he addressed the Xiuhei Sovereign as such, leaving no qualms or issues that could be said.

”...The Earthly Beginning and Heavenly End trials will commence shortly. I'll be bringing you to a gathering to meet the other participants.” His words were swiftly said and the soul transmission abruptly severed. A spatial rift abruptly appeared above Yan Zaizen's head not even a millisecond later. Yan Zaizen's pupils constricted as he was helplessly drawn into the rift. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he knew this grandpa hated being called such.

With a cold 'hmph', he decided that for as long as he lived, he'll address Zhou Xiuhei as Grandpa Xiu!

His spatial void travels were brief. Within a second, he was brought to the end of the rift by an unfathomable heavenly might. He arrived directly outside a building. He looked at the sky, only to find that there were nine miniature suns and nine miniature moons floating about in an odd and rapid pattern. The movement of was so fast that he could see them gradually move despite the immense distance.

Inspecting his front, he noticed that the building had the decor of an Imperial Hall. The artichoke roofs were dazzling gold, revealing a stifling, nearly awe-inspiring degree of heavenly aura. The columns were silver with gold characters. These characters were decorative and they weren't in a formation or were an inscription, they instead emanated heavenly laws of varying types.

He could see a gold 'fire' character flicker like a flame. As he stared at it, he felt somewhat hot. The 'earth' character gave him a sense of immense power and boundlessness that could house all. Each character depicted a World Law, not Mortal Laws. This left him feeling amazed.

To write such characters, one needed to be able to reach the domain-level at least! To the Sirius Titan Realm, this may be a small matter, but it still affected Yan Zaizen deeply. Atop the roofs were floating characters, there was two that were of similar size but also had very, very different auras.

The first character that drew his attention seemed to contain an unfettered ferocity by common conventions. It was the 'Sirius' character. It felt feral and vicious, but also elusive and profound. A top predator beneath the heavens!

”A law? But...it feels different…” Yan Zaizen was startled as he saw this character, even Pinaka was startled seeing this character. As if knowing his thoughts, a voice transmitted into his soul from somewhere unknown, ”The Sirius Law is the personal, defined law of the White Sirius Heavenly Monarch. He established his own minor heaven, created his own law, and cultivated it thoroughly! Unfortunately, this law was brief and incapable of becoming eternal like the True Spirit or Herculean Paths. If he succeeded, the Sirius Law could become a true law accepted by any heaven willing! If he ascends the heaven itself in his cultivation, it could become an eternal path.”

Zhou Xiuhei's voice caused Yan Zaizen's soul to tremble. Is that how True Spirit and Herculean Paths were established? Someone at the level of a Heavenly Creation Realm established their own laws? Then, they established their own paths! To ascend the heavens, to exceed the heavens, the Heavenly Ascension Realm!

He now understood why the Herculean Path continued to speak about exceeding the heavens and shattering the skies. The creator of this path exceeded the heavens. None beneath heavens could reject his path, only outlaw it!

After settling his emotions, he turned towards the second character. It gave a profoundly familiar feeling. The moment Yan Zaizen looked at it, his eyes turned exceptionally cloudy and indistinct. Two lights, one inky, black and one bright, white surged into his two pupils separately. Deep within his soul, the avatar for the Siphoning Shadow of Death and Unyielding Flame of Life flickered and abruptly vanished.

Zhou Xiuhei's words continued, ”the second character belongs to the current Heavenly God of the Rebirth Era, the Extreme Rebirth Heavenly God. It is a sign of respect towards this true hegemon of the 27th heaven.” However, his words were lost to Yan Zaizen. He had been drowned in a state of inspiration.

A split second later, his two eyes that were originally one black and one white surged. They flickered and converged. Within his gaze, two colors fought viciously for supremacy, but when one got the upperhand, the other weakened suddenly to near nothingness. The weakest one at its weakest state would flicker, vanishing from existence for a split second and then reappearing.

When it did, it grew ever stronger until it could overpower the other light. This continued in an ending cycle of defeat and victory.

Pzzt!

A sound like buzzing resounded from Yan Zaizen's soul. This was a sound even Pinaka could not hear nor Zhou Xiuhei. When it ended, Yan Zaizen's eyes were no longer contained just a single color. Instead, his pupils were a whirlpool of clearly defined inky black and bright white.
