My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 358 Heaven's Way Responds to Your Sacrifice!

Among human writing systems, "巫" (shaman) is the oldest and most vivid.

The top horizontal line represents the sky, the bottom horizontal line represents the earth, and in the middle there are two people dancing around an axis!
The key to this word is its axis!
The so-called shaman refers to the central figure who connects heaven, earth, and humanity!
When Li Wei stood atop the mountain, dancing like a shaman, praying like a shaman, and performing sacrifices like a shaman.

His body remained unchanged, but he felt his hands rising higher and higher, as if they were touching the dome of the sky, reaching that timeless and intangible essence.

At the same time, his feet, like the roots of a tree, spread into the earth beneath his feet, deeply rooted in the majestic and unique form of the land.

The moment when the formless and the tangible, the shapeless and the formless, the illusion and the reality intertwine within Livy's body.

Li Wei then entered a peculiar state of "absorption"!
In a daze, it seemed as if something was entering his body from the sky, trying to pull him to immortality.

But in the next instant, something else spread from beneath the earth, coiling around his body, wanting him to remain there forever.

In this tug-of-war, Li Wei's personality seemed to dissociate, breaking free from his own body and standing in a higher and farther position to support the universe.

witch!
He became the central, upright axis in the meaning of the word "shaman"!

Li Wei danced even more wildly, and in that frenzied dance, his soul gradually became chaotic and his will gradually blurred. Then, some mysterious sound uncontrollably flowed from his mouth.

"Walking through the dark wilderness, I stand on tiptoe and offer my prayers!"

"Therefore we bring forth the drum of the Kui, and there we burn the cracked tortoise shell!"

"I walk the celestial sphere in accordance with the handle of the Big Dipper, and tread the nine fields in harmony with Yin and Yang!"

"The smoke from burning firewood rises straight up to the Purple Palace, and the sound of the sacrificial drum resonates deep down to the Yellow Springs, thus knowing the cycle of the four seasons and understanding the darkness and light of the three realms."

"Holding the contract of life and death. Grasping the balance of creation."

It was like an ancient prayer, or a beautiful ode to heaven.

When the prayer is finished
Li Wei suddenly stood atop the mountain, like an eagle spreading his arms wide to the heavens and earth, about to extend a final invitation.

The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system and the first Confucius had just emerged from the void when they witnessed this scene.

Then He suddenly cried out: "Master!!!"

【No! ! ! ! 】

Wow!

A wind blew from the heavens, past Li Wei's ears, trying to dispel the urgent cry.

Logically speaking, Li Wei should not have heard the sounds outside the sacrificial site.

But in that instant, his body and soul broke free from the ritual constraints and instinctively raised his head to look in the direction of Heavenly Dao 0.91.

Then, he caught the faint, indistinct sound.

【Master. Don't. Want.

Is this Heavenly Dao 0.91?

Has He returned?

Li Wei, who was immersed in the sacrificial dance, suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously wanted to end the ritual.

But Li Wei couldn't simply stop the sacrificial rites whenever he wanted.

In ancient times, whether it was a shaman, a Nuo priest, or any other kind of sacrifice, the moment they stood on the altar and put on a mask, they had already shed their original identity and become the vessel of something much larger.

Simply put, at this moment, Li Wei's body no longer contains only himself.

So when he tried to stop the ritual, he discovered that, without him noticing, all the phenomena of the world had already stood behind him.

How can one person contend with the power of the universe?
When flowers, birds, fish, insects, plants, animals, mountains, rivers, lakes, and everything else were supporting him, Li Wei was forced by the tide to take the final step!
then,

The offerings on the altar burned like incense and candles, and a crimson plume of smoke rose from the ruined mountain, piercing the heavens and the earth!

next moment.

A brilliant sun leaped out from the horizon and stepped into the center of the dome, becoming the master of all things in the world and illuminating the vast mortal realm.

The thick, dark clouds that had been hanging over the Blissful Demon Land evaporated as if boiling!
The crimson smoke that filled the sky was also swallowed up directly.

There are no longer any obstacles between heaven, earth, and humanity.

Through Li Wei as the central figure, Heaven has successfully reconnected itself with the earth and all living beings once again!
The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system was so frightened that it instantly retreated back into Li Wei's body. Even the remnant will of the first Confucius couldn't help but tremble and hurriedly hid in Li Wei's body.

Almost the instant they disappeared.

A soft laugh echoed between heaven and earth, pouring into Li Wei's mind with unimaginable power.

Ha! I never imagined that in this day and age, there would still be people who remember to worship the heavens.

Deep in the Blissful Demon Land, on the front lines, Venus, with its overwhelming numerical advantage, finally pushed the battle line to the vicinity of Divine Water City.

This city is the largest node of the earth's veins and water veins in the eastern part of Zhongzhou. Even gods cannot move it away at will.

Therefore, whoever can capture this place will be able to establish a super strong defensive formation and gain a local strategic advantage. It can be said to be a truly strategic location that is the most important place for military strategists to fight over.

As a result, both Venus and the Blissful Demon Land dispatched a large number of cultivators to fight fiercely here. The corpses of the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators who died could even be piled up into a small mountain.

【Hahaha! 】

Venus glanced at the enemy's defensive line and couldn't help but exclaim with elation, "We have an overwhelming numerical advantage! Those demons are about to collapse!"

If He could capture this city and achieve a great victory, He should be able to suppress His injuries and then find a way to slowly recover. A ruthless glint flashed in Venus's eyes.
Send another 20,000 men! They have one hour to breach the city and then slaughter every single living person inside!

Before he could finish speaking, Venus suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation and quickly turned to look in the direction of Fatai City.

But He saw nothing!

Whether it was the sacrificial smoke soaring into the sky, the terrifying blazing light leaping into the mid-sky, or the enormous creature descending, they all seemed to exist as if they did not exist, and did not appear in the dimension of reality at all.

But the less visible it is, the clearer His instincts become, capturing a mysterious unease, as if something that shouldn't exist in this era has already appeared!

[Damn those evil heretics! What are they up to now?]

In a sense, Venus is now deep behind enemy lines. If its retreat is suddenly cut off, the elite army of cultivators that Central Continent has painstakingly organized might all perish here.

He cannot bear such consequences!

Venus took one last look at the already near-limited Divine Water City, and reluctantly ordered: "Sound the retreat! Withdraw!"

After spending this time together, the cultivators in the army had long since submitted to Taibai Jinxing's superior military wisdom and never dared to disobey any of His orders.

But now that Shenshui City is about to fall, and everyone is about to make an unparalleled contribution, they will be promoted and ennobled when they return. At this time, you are actually letting them go?

Many generals simply could not understand this order.

But this was, after all, the Lord of Heavenly War, a high-ranking true god, so in the end, they reluctantly withdrew everyone, abandoned their supplies, and fled in a flash.

The evil spirits and heretics in Shenshui City had already given up hope, so even when they saw the Heavenly Court's army withdrawing, they did not pursue them. Instead, they collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

The demon race members, overjoyed, cried out, "Waaah! We never thought we'd survived!"

"Don't cry! Be careful, it might be a trap!"

"But the Heavenly Court retreated so decisively, even abandoning their supplies; it doesn't seem like they had a plan!"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and finally all looked toward the Dark Brahma Evil God who was stationed in the Divine Water City.

"Lord Evil God, have our reinforcements arrived?"

Anfan is not only the most powerful cultivator in the city, but also the daughter of the Dark Web Great Sage, so she should be the first to know any information.

But An Fan seemed not to hear what everyone was saying, staring intently into the distance with a solemn expression in his eyes.

What exactly is this aura? Why do I feel an instinctive tremor?

Just as He was wondering, suddenly, a pair of huge eyes opened behind Him, like a star, using Divine Water City as a springboard to gaze at the existence at the end of His sight.

Anfan couldn't help but sneer: "Old Deng of the Dark Web! You didn't expect this, did you? Not only did I survive Taibai Jinxing, but I also defended Shenshui City. Did you have a change of heart and come to see me?"

The voice just fell.

More pairs of eyes opened behind An Fan!

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Great Sage Pacifying Heaven, the Great Sage Reaching Heaven, the Great Sage Unrivaled by Heaven, and the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens have all arrived!
But they remained frozen in place, as if petrified, offering no communication, their eyes fixed on the distance, filled with apprehension.
After an unknown amount of time,

The Dark Web Sage finally said gravely, "Everyone, shall we go take a look?"

No one responded!

Everyone seemed to sense some indescribable danger, so they didn't want to go near that place at all.

"Alas," sighed the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, "the situation is unpredictable again! The road ahead will likely become increasingly difficult."

And at the same time.

On the abandoned mountain,

Hearing the laughter coming from beside him, Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine.

Ha! I never imagined that in this day and age, there would still be people who remember to worship the heavens.

The being that had been sleeping in the Heavenly Court for countless years was awakened by Li Wei.

He came to the altar,
Looking at the offerings, it was like a hungry old farmer looking at the last grain of rice on the table, almost greedily inhaling the aroma of the offerings, and repeatedly chewing and savoring everything that had been long missed.

What a pity.

There was too little of it, and it was too fake, so even though it was carefully prepared and precious, it still quickly disappeared into the depths of the taste buds, turning into numbness once again.

The Heavenly Dao sighed, slowly approached Li Wei, and pressed itself against him.

Li Wei could not see the form of the Heavenly Way, because it is inherently formless.

But he could feel an extremely strange sensation, as if he had fallen into the mouth of a mad beast and was being chewed and licked over and over again.

At this moment,
Li Wei almost thought he was going to die.

But in reality, Heaven was merely deeply sensing the Kunpeng aura emanating from Li Wei.

This long-lost bloodline from ancient, primordial gods had almost vanished from the memory of the Heavenly Dao. Furthermore, Li Wei had presided over a lost sacrificial ceremony.

Therefore, Heaven's favor towards Li Wei greatly increased.

What do you want in return for the sacrifices you offer me?
