Now he could face it calmly, moving with ease within the Returning Ruins.

Chu Xisheng first sought out that "Supervision Divine Eye" and studied this Luo Hou’s eye for a moment.

The Taiwei Constellation also has one of Luo Hou’s eyes, but it has merged into the Three Emperors Divine Eye. In terms of the Heavenly Punishment Technique, it is actually less pure and clear than this Supervision Divine Eye.

And now, when Chu Xisheng, with the body of a Third Grade cultivator, studied and comprehended the Heavenly Punishment Technique within it, his feelings were completely different from three years ago.

Before, he could only look up at it as something lofty and unfathomable, marveling in admiration; now, however, he felt that this Luo Hou’s Heavenly Punishment Technique had indeed gone astray—nothing more than that.

This "Lord of Ten Thousand Destructions" from the ancient era had, in the end, only barely attained the rank of Half-step Creation; there truly were reasons for that.

Luo Hou did indeed command dozens of powerful Destruction and Slaughter Techniques, yet not a single one of them reached the Peak level.

Chu Xisheng spent two days studying inside the "Supervision Divine Eye," then entered the "Chaos Hall" forged by the fifth-generation Heavenly Emperor, Shen Hao.

Shen Hao was the son of Long Xi, younger brother of the East Emperor, the fifth Heavenly Emperor between Heaven and Earth, and the second Heavenly Emperor of the Human Clan.

In those days, in order to proclaim his orthodoxy and to allow his followers to study Pangu’s Dao, this Heavenly Emperor collected a vast number of Pangu’s relics and remains and stored them in the Chaos Hall.

Chu Xisheng first sent Lu Luanti into the "Peacock Hall," then sent Bai Xiaozhao into the "Chenghuang Palace," and only after that did he step once more into the Xuanming Hall, revisiting an old place.

This was where he and Ween Suyi had first met.

Chu Xisheng still remembered every detail of that day vividly.

It was a pity that Ween Suyi wasn’t here; it took away some of the flavor.

After reminiscing over the past for a while, Chu Xisheng finally came to the Vengeance Hall.

Three years later, he once again gazed upon the "Vengeance" that Pangu had personally carved, and his feelings were very different from before.

Pangu’s "Vengeance" and the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord’s "Vengeance" were definitely not quite the same.

But those who come after are under no obligation to cling rigidly to the ruts of their predecessors.

—Even if that predecessor is Pangu!

Just like Chu Xisheng himself, he was destined not to rigidly follow the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord’s road.

The "Vengeance" method that Pangu embedded into the Heavenly Dao lies only on the boundary between the Heavenly Dao Fourth Layer and the Fifth Realm.

After "Vengeance" was hunted down on a large scale by All Gods, the Vengeful Sky Rules between Heaven and Earth even began to weaken drastically.

And although the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord surpassed the blue to outshine the indigo, due to Heaven not granting him enough years, he was ultimately unable to surpass Pangu’s level.

Yet Chu Xisheng was confident that his future achievements would absolutely not stop at Peak Eternal!

Chu Xisheng gave the sculpture a single glance, then opened his character panel.

At this moment, in the Wish Stone section, there were still 220 Wish Stones.

Of these, he had already spent 42 on Lishan, using them to enhance the comprehension of himself, Lu Luanti, Little Flat Head, and Bai Xiaozhao.

It was precisely because of these Wish Stones that Chu Xisheng could advance with Divine Speed along various Martial Arts Heavenly Rules, and even succeed in one stroke in cultivating the "Divine Intent Touch Death Blade" left by the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord, then go a step further and create the Eighth Move of Divine Intent Touch Death Blade himself.

At this time, Chu Xisheng again, without hesitation, invested 20 Wish Stones and Ten Thousand Heavenly Origin Points into the "Divine Wish Heart."

The wish he made next was still to maximize, within the span of one month, the increase of comprehension for Lu Luanti, Little Flat Head, Bai Xiaozhao, and himself.

The gaze of Little Flat Head on his shoulder had long since been drawn to this Vengeance sculpture.

Then, in just three days, outside Little Flat Head’s body there also manifested a vivid Vengeful Giant Beast: dragon head and jackal body, a Battle Blade clamped in its mouth, letting out a dull, muffled roar.

This giant beast not only resonated closely with that Vengeance sculpture, it also caused all the surrounding Geng Metal Objects to hum and buzz.

Seeing this scene, threads of joy surfaced in Chu Xisheng’s eyes.

—This was Little Flat Head’s Heavenly Rules Dharma Form.

It had become, just as Chu Xisheng had anticipated, a "Vengeance" True Spirit!

The increase in power this brought Little Flat Head was absolutely not just by a tiny margin.

Chu Xisheng then gathered up his stray thoughts and continued to immerse himself fully in his study.

Wish Stones do not come easily; he absolutely could not waste them.

After True Spirit comes Saint—if Chu Xisheng wanted to continue climbing upward on this Heavenly Rules path, besides completing stronger Secret Rite of Vengeance rituals, he also needed to raise his own Vengeful Sky Rules to a higher level.

Only after thirty days, when Chu Xisheng felt his once wildly active thoughts gradually slow, and he no longer had the same bursts of inspiration as before, did he stop his study.

And at that very moment, he sensed behind him the appearance of an incomparably powerful Thought. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Chu Xisheng immediately looked back over his shoulder.

Just ten zhang behind him, a familiar figure was smiling at him.

This person’s figure was tall and slim, slightly gaunt, with a head of fiery red hair. His features were handsome, his bearing clear and refined like jade, and his bones elegant and lofty; on both sides of his forehead, the bones rose high.

He wore only an ordinary blue cloth Daoist robe and a pair of hemp shoes on his feet, yet he naturally carried an air of transcendence; with one glance, one could tell this man was not of the mortal world.

—This was precisely the Wood Sword Immortal Song Yan Nian!
