...

The interface changed, and the power has grown again.

Seizing the momentum, Shen Hex immediately experimented with the Professional Power of the [God of Creation], using the secret Divine Technique of the Pure Lotus Sect, Great Sun Lotus Fire.

Great Sun Golden Lotus, Nirvana Fire, inherently a Life and Death Technique, has been used by Shen Hex for healing during this period.

Now, as it operates again, the effect significantly improves; under the burning of Lotus Fire, the Divine Dao Body solidifies a lot more.

Unfortunately, the Merit lost to the Supreme Destiny Divine Light cannot be recovered, as there was no Creation Power involved at that time, and compensating now is futile.

Feeling the basic power, then looking at the effect of talent.

All Things Return to Life!

Transforming all functional authorities into the Authority of Creation!

Shen Hex holds multiple roles, being the god of land, mountain, city, statecraft, longevity, judiciary, and judgment, if fully transformed, this Authority of Creation will reach extreme conditions, even potentially breaking the world’s limits and celestial constraints.

Unfortunately...

"This talent is an active type and requires Professional Experience to be driven, it seems the consumption is quite high; using it for healing is too extravagant."

"For healing, the basic effect of the God of Creation is sufficient, this Professional Talent should be used at crucial moments."

"With the Power of Creation, in no more than three years, these injuries will fully recover!"

"Once the injuries are healed, I can plot advancement, stepping into the Third Grade realm."

"But this Divine Dao Skill, just acquired, wanting to study it thoroughly for seamless advancement might take decades or even scores of years to comprehend."

"Yet it’s no matter, the advantage is mine!"

Shen Hex smiled, relaxed and carefree.

Even though most of the Divine Dao Skills have been supplemented through contributions from various parties, skills require comprehension; without fully understanding them, having them is useless.

Previously, Shen Hex spent decades, employing his original body and Taiyuan Body to help comprehend the True Dao Scripture, especially with the Taiyuan Body, which possesses the power of "creating and seeking the Dao, borrowing illusion for cultivation," being extremely advantageous and indispensable in comprehending skills and performing Divine Techniques.

Relying on this, plus managing Jinyang Land, Shen Hex could elevate the Divine Dao Rank to Fourth Grade in just over a hundred years.

Fourth Grade in Divine Dao equates to Tier Nine, Martial Arts Outer Realm, Immortal Dao Integration, for average individuals possessing talent, it would often take thousands or tens of thousands of years to achieve.

But in this Divine Dao World, Shen Hex only took little more than a century.

Despite the characteristic rapid advancement in Divine Dao, such speed of progress is still astonishing and beyond conventional.

Fourth Grade is already so, needless to say, Third Grade, requires at least a few decades of diligent cultivation, with the original body and two avatars collaborating to fully comprehend the Third-grade Technique in the Daoist Scripture Collection for advancement.

This is a conservative estimate, as Third Grade corresponds to Tier Ten, Martial Dao Tribulation Realm, Immortal Dao Mahayana, classified under "Three Realms and One Celestial Gate," already the last celestial layer in the Tier Twelve cultivation system, containing infinite mysteries, wanting to fully comprehend it is immensely challenging.

Even with Shen Hex’s advantage and cooperation of three bodies, it requires a long period.

Thus, the question arises.

Will the people from the Northern Lands wait for his advancement?

They will and they won’t!

If possible, people from the Northern Lands certainly wouldn’t want to sit around, waiting for Shen Hex to advance to Third Grade.

But this possibility does not hold.

Now the opposition between south and north is a stalemate, hard to break.

Regarding the Underworld Divine Battle, needless to say, Shen Hex has the terrifying record of defeating Six Great Ghost Gods, giving those Third-Rank Great Gods in the north ten times the courage, they still dare not initiate an Underworld Divine Battle against Shen Hex’s seated defensive position.

The breakthrough opportunity remains in the Mortal World, only with an advance in the Mortal World, Dragon Qi sweeping the Southern Lands, the deities in the north might only then have a chance to defeat him.

But the problem is, they can’t advance in the Mortal World.

Previously, when Xiao Ye died, during the chaos in the Southern Lands, it was indeed a good opportunity, but they coincidentally intervened in the Battle of Lanruo, similarly suffering backlash from Shen Hex’s Merit, causing the Northern Hidden Dragon, leveraging the Emperor to command the Grand General Huo Ming to suddenly fall ill, although not succumbing within three months like Xiao Ye, yet still bedridden.

During that period, northern dragons and snakes, along with the Xiao-Chen Imperial Family, were all acting, causing turmoil to rise; eventually, even Barbarians assaulted the border, leaving the bedridden Huo Ming barely able to maintain the situation, suppressing disturbances from all sides, utterly powerless to raise an army, to march south.

Moreover, now, the Southern Lands have unified, and Huo Ming has died of illness; although his son Huo Li has succeeded the throne, replacing Xiao-Chen, establishing a new dynasty, yet only occupying the Northern Lands, still unable to raise an army to assault the south.

Therefore now, whether in Underworld or Mortal World, it is a stalemate, both sides can only hold their ground, unable to advance on the world.

In this situation, although the opposition is unwilling, they can only watch helplessly as Shen Hex’s injuries heal, advancing to Third Grade.

It equates to a slow death.

But they have no means, Third Grade power is already the peak of this world, and Shen Hex is already standing at the pinnacle of this peak, unless they can find power beyond the limits of the human world, they simply cannot break the situation, preventing Shen Hex from growing.
