For Gongye Huang, if he could remove the influence of the Heavenly Tribulation, he indeed had no desire to ascend. Although he had practiced cultivation for a thousand years, because he had practiced through a side path and not achieved Body Ascension, upon ascending, he would only be able to become the lowest-ranking of the Heavenly Gods, barely any different from Lu Rongbo, or even less regarded since Lu Rongbo's cultivation was from orthodox Mysterious Sect techniques. Once ascended, Lu Rongbo could continue to cultivate, and his prospects were higher than his.

If someone else had made this claim, Gongye Huang would not have believed it. However, Shi Feiyang's solo feat of vanquishing the four evils of the frontier mountains broadened Gongye Huang's horizons. After all, when those four Sect Hierarchs joined forces, Gongye Huang himself would have to avoid their edge, but Shi Feiyang had slain them all in quite a short time, particularly that dazzling Ten-Day Heavenly Punishment... The level of his Dao was inconceivable!

"Very well, I shall do as you say, Daoist friend!" Gongye Huang finally agreed.

Shi Feiyang was very pleased. With Gongye Huang on his side, the second Primordial Spirit of Deng Yin wouldn't be able to make any waves over there.

He immediately shared with Gongye Huang the Three Emperors Dao he had comprehended over the years. What he spoke of was not Cultivation Technique or Spells, but the Dao. The Dao cannot be spoken of because it cannot be described with language, but numbers can be explained.

Shi Feiyang spoke from the Heavenly Number to the Heavenly Dao, and then from the Heavenly Dao to the Great Dao. Gongye Huang felt as if a door to a new world had been opened for him, listening intently as if he were drunk or enchanted.

It took him three days and nights to finish speaking. Then he took out the Divine Qi One Element Glue and told Gongye Huang, "I know exactly what's wrong with you. There's no need for the millennium Ice Worm. This Spiritual Glue will do. I will assist you in ascending now!"

Following Gongye Huang to the Black Valley where he had deviated, Shi Feiyang refined the Spiritual Glue with Pure Yang Immortal Qi and injected it into Gongye Huang's body, stiff from his deviation. The glue contained various Spiritual Medicines, including True Water, adept at quelling fires, healing the body, and repairing the Primordial Spirit Soul. This was far superior to Gongye Huang's original plan to rely on millennium Ice Worms slowly extracting the Demon Fire with their cold breath.

In the time it took to finish a meal, Gongye Huang's body completely recovered. He stepped down from the stone platform and stretched his limbs, filled with joy. He had been sitting on that stone platform for nearly seventy years—if it weren't for the ability to wander as a spirit without his shell, it would be like being trapped within a physical prison.

He thanked Shi Feiyang very sincerely, and Shi Feiyang also thanked him with equal seriousness, "I also must thank you on behalf of the billions of beings from the other world."

Gongye Huang said, "Aren't you afraid that the intent I have set in my heart remains to fly to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm?"

The process of his ascension was beyond Shi Feiyang's control. He would ascend according to his own will, wherever he wished to go.

"For all the things you have done for me these days, if it really is as you said, I would only feel some regret, but would not resent you for deceiving me."

Gongye Huang laughed heartily. He took off his Qiankun Bag and handed it to Shi Feiyang, along with the Mo Long Divine Sword and the Seven Birds Fire Pearl. Nothing could be taken with him when he ascended, whether it was to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm or the Saha World, "This bag also contains a Daoist Book that I came across by chance, allowing me to communicate heart-to-heart with birds, and to understand various birdsongs. Hence, I ended up with this nickname. Now, I give it all to you, Daoist friend!"

Shi Feiyang knew he had a wife and a disciple, but their relationships were quite indifferent. Since he didn't mention them, Shi Feiyang also did not ask.

Gongye Huang had long been ready to cultivate to Perfection, but his physical body had held him back slightly. Now that Shi Feiyang had healed his body, Gongye Huang combined his Primordial Spirit with the Essence Energy within his body, thoroughly eliminating the last bit of yin residue, purifying his Primordial Spirit into Pure Yang without a trace of yin, and ascended out of his body.

He did not deceive Shi Feiyang; his target for ascension was not the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, but the Saha World where Earth was located.

After he had ascended, Shi Feiyang cremated his shed shell with fire.

His manner of ascension left behind a shed shell rather than a body, akin to the difference between a cicada's shell and a dead cicada—an utterly energy-depleted husk that cannot even be turned into a zombie. It was of no use, so Shi Feiyang cremated it, just as he had cremated Master Lianshan's shed shell on Moon Island years before.

Returning to Liangyi Palace, Shi Feiyang entered into meditation again, opening the channel between the two worlds. Indeed, Gongye Huang had arrived in the Saha World. Shi Feiyang explained the situation to him and took special care to explain how to deal with Deng Yin, which Gongye Huang noted one by one.

Shi Feiyang emerged from the Meditative State and felt incredibly light. He couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of reaction Deng Yin would have upon seeing Gongye Huang!

He checked the items Gongye Huang had left him. Needless to say, the Mo Long Divine Sword was a top-tier Divine Weapon, but even more formidable were the Seven Birds Fire Pearl and the Seven Birds Divine Skill that Gongye Huang had paired with it.

Back in the day, Shi Feiyang had saved a descendant of the Mysterious Sect's grand elder at the North Sea and had learned the Seven Birds Divine Skill from her. However, that version was quite basic; he later delved into its intricacies by deconstructing and studying it through Yi Shu (易数), thus reaching a certain level of proficiency.

Gongye Huang's Seven Birds Divine Skill was superior to the Mysterious Sect's grand elder and now lay in full before Shi Feiyang, complete with Gongye Huang's own annotations.

Old Huang was able to foresee Deng Yin before Shi Feiyang, all thanks to this method.

The so-called "birds" refer to the Star Constellations, and the "seven birds" pertain to the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations.

The Twenty-Eight Constellations are divided into four groups, each containing Sun, Moon, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Similarly, the Seven Birds Fire Pearl has the same classification; thus while it's named "Seven Birds," it actually comprises twenty-eight beads.

Starting from the Void Sun Rat and ending with the Perilous Moon Swallow, each bead is filled with numerous starlights forming constellations. Upon closer inspection, one can find a dense collection of talismans within, strikingly profound.

Shi Feiyang studied the "Seven Birds Divine Skill" and cast a spell to refine the treasure, removing all the extraneous talismans from within and replacing them with the Circulation Golden Talisman of Emperor Xuanyuan.

This treasure was initially crafted with marginal methods and possessed extraordinary power, but it had a weak foundation. What was most valuable was the thousand years of nurturing and sacrificial refinement it had undergone. Shi Feiyang substituted it with the Circulation Golden Talisman and took out the Circulation Formation Plate, placing it within. He situated it around the pointers formed by the three Heavenly Secret Demon Divine Shuttles and laid out the Twenty-Eight Constellations according to the Circulation sequence, dividing the twelve earthly branches into the proper palaces.

His current Daoist power was much stronger than when he had just secured Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, and with great effort, he incorporated the Seven Birds Fire Pearl into the plate and re-consecrated the treasure.

Originally, when he crafted this formation plate, it had two major functions: one was to break through the Aurora Fire for easy passage, and the other was to serve as a super nuclear weapon-level Magical Treasure to fight desperately against formidable enemies.

Now, coupled with the Seven Birds Fire Pearl and the Yi Shu Heavenly Talisman he had comprehended over the years, it immediately became a treasure capable of deducing the fabric of time and space!

Using it, he calculated future fortuities and also discerned many things of the past he had never encountered, especially regarding Xuanyuan Two Treasures.

After much thought, he decided to go to Qiao Mountain Sacred Tomb ahead of schedule!

Putting away the Treasures, he left the Liangyi Palace. The Sect Hierarchs of the four border mountains had all been killed by him, and the elites and core forces of the Pima Sect, Black Evil Sect, and their allies had been thoroughly wiped out, leaving only the Ghost Mother Sect with many of Zhu Ying's disciples escaping with a hundred thousand evil spirits back to the mountains to potentially cause trouble in the future. The Pima Sect also had a hundred thousand Zombies flee back to the mountains, which could lead to chaos over time.

Shi Feiyang took out the "Heavenly Mechanism Book" and summoned the captured Sect Hierarchs, ordering them to return and regroup their forces.

The elder from the Black Evil Sect, Gong Hao, was terrified. He knelt on the ground immediately, saying, "This old man knows the Divine Skills and limitless Mana of the senior before me. Even if you lend this old man a hundred times more courage, I would not dare to be your enemy again!"

Shi Feiyang kept a stern face, "Didn't you say that you wanted to serve me faithfully like a dog or a horse? Right now, I'm letting you go back to Black Evil Mountain to gather all your remaining devoted followers and continue operating the Black Evil Sect! If you do well, in the future, I might release your sect's elite disciples and use the Five Elements Essence to rebuild your physical bodies, allowing you to be reborn. Wouldn't that be good?"

Elder Gong Hao had no clue what Shi Feiyang was planning, but the display of power during their duel had thoroughly frightened him. Now he could sense that his own Primordial Spirit was bound by the Heavenly Mechanism Book, and with the Great Demon Er Sheng Fan casting secret spells to keep him in check, his life was completely in someone else's hands.
