The comet remained silent, only relentlessly unleashing heavenly tribulations.

"go!"

With a flick of his finger, Song Yi sent the severed hair of Xing Tian, ​​which resembled a monstrous python, into the Jiahe Furnace as a streak of black light.

The furnace lid slammed shut, and the humanitarian fire instantly transformed into countless fire dragons, tightly enveloping the severed hair.

Sensing danger, the ancestral witch's malevolent energy within the severed hair retaliated fiercely, but under the continuous refinement of the humane flame, those wisps of violent witch clan's malevolent energy began to be peeled away and purified little by little.

Seeing that the time was right, Song Yi did not hesitate to transform a portion of his human merits into golden light and send them into the furnace.

This process of refinement has lasted for over a hundred years.

Fortunately, this was within the Innate Cosmic Light Array, and only one or two years had passed in the outside world.

For a century, Song Yi worked tirelessly, constantly changing his hand seals and continuously imbuing the seals into the seal.

This day.

With a resounding clang, the lid of the Jiahe furnace shot skyward!

In an instant, ten thousand rays of light burst forth from the center, and a chain, as if cast entirely in gold and covered with countless innate restrictions, coiled in the furnace like a dragon.

The restraining and confining power emanating from it caused the surrounding void to freeze.

In order to forge this Immortal Binding Lock, Song Yi not only spent a century of effort, but also consumed a lot of his accumulated human merits.

But sensing the terrifying power emanating from the golden chains, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

With this treasure, even a Golden Immortal could be bound to death by the divine lock made from the hair of the Ancestral Witch if he is not careful!

After leaving the Golden Pagoda, the river channel of the Great Prison Heaven had been almost completely excavated.

This is all thanks to the Giant Spirit God.

Just before he went into seclusion, he kept his promise and mobilized the Imperial Guards of the Heavenly Prison to participate in the excavation project.

The Heavenly Prison Guards are among the strongest in the entire Heavenly Court. Even the weakest Earth Immortals have mid-to-late stage cultivation, and many generals are even Heavenly Immortals or True Immortals, making them formidable forces.

At the end of the river, it leads to the Chaos Pool.

The Chaos Pool is located in the southwest of Taiyu Heaven, not far from the Heavenly Prison.

The water, fire, and wind in the pool raged, creating chaos like boiling porridge. All the waste and filth of the Heavenly Court were eventually dumped into it.

In the future, after the water of the Milky Way is introduced, it will also flow into the Chaos Pool, transforming into the purest clear and turbid energies, and then be discharged from the Heavenly Court.

Now that the thirty-three levels of the Heavenly River Path have been completed, the remaining crucial step is to introduce the Heavenly River Weak Water.

The Milky Way is also known as the Star River or the Star River.

Its water is no ordinary water; it is formed from the liquefied light of the sun, moon, and stars. It flows from the vast starry sky into the celestial realm, where it gathers into the Nine Heavens Weak Water, which stretches across the sky.

Because the Milky Way's weak water is formed from starlight, it is extremely light and ethereal, seemingly weightless.

Ultimately, its essence is light.

This is why even a feather cannot float on the Milky Way's weak waters, and birds find it difficult to cross.

This pure water, so light and ethereal, is naturally able to dissolve all primordial energy. Everything, whether tangible or intangible, substantial or insubstantial, will be silently dissolved upon falling into it.

If an ordinary immortal were to accidentally fall into the Milky Way, it would be as if they had fallen into an endless void.

Whether it's the primordial spirit or magical power, as long as it comes into contact with even a trace of Weak Water, it will be dissolved inch by inch, just like a mortal drowning.

In the end, it could only slowly sink, its primordial spirit gradually dissipating, dying slowly in despair, ending up with its body and soul destroyed.

Therefore, the Milky Way is a forbidden area in the Heavenly Realm, and ordinary immortals can hardly approach it.

Only those who have attained the Dao and become celestial immortals can roam freely within it.

To divert a tributary from the source of the Milky Way and bring it into the Heavenly Court requires immense magical power.

Previously, the Great Celestial Venerable intended that Song Yi should be responsible for digging the river channel, while the matter of diverting the Weak Water of the Heavenly River could be handled by the Water Department.

However, he still decided to take the matter upon himself, so that he could get more credit for it.

However, even with Yu the Great's axe, his current strength is still insufficient.

After some thought, Song Yi made up his mind and set off for the nineteenth level of the Manifestation of the Extreme Wind.

The Heavenly King's Palace is located here.

The Heavenly King's Palace was the residence of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

Before being deified, Li Jing studied under the tutelage of the Taoist master Lundu'e in Xikun.

Although Du'e Zhenren was not a disciple of Yuxu, he often listened to Yuqing Shengren preach, so he was considered to be a member of the Chan sect.

Later, he became a disciple of the Taoist Ran Deng and obtained the thirty-three-story Golden Exquisite Pagoda, which elevated his status.

After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, Li Jing achieved physical immortality and was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Army, holding a high position and great power.

However, Song Yi did not seek an audience with Li Jing this time, but rather with Nezha.

Previously, in order to obtain a divine position in the Heavenly Court, Song Yi asked Jiang Ziya for help in a dream.

Jiang Ziya then sought out Taiyi Zhenren.

At the grand court assembly, Nezha recommended himself as the Director of the Qingtianjian (Imperial Observatory), and even said that out of respect for his Uncle Jiang, if he encountered any difficulties, he could go to the Heavenly King's Palace to seek him out.

Song Yi showed the Star Lord's token, and the guardian general of the mansion did not stop him.

With fairy maidens leading the way, they passed through corridors and courtyards, and soon arrived at a side hall.

Inside the hall, Nezha was idly playing with the Qiankun Ring, spinning the golden ring back and forth between his fingertips, looking utterly bored.

Seeing Song Yi enter, he looked up at him with a hint of curiosity: "Broom Star Lord? Instead of dredging the river, you've come to the Heavenly King's Palace. Did you encounter some trouble?"

"But it can't be hidden from the Third Prince." Song Yi nodded, then changed the subject, "However, I have never repaid the Third Prince for his recommendation. This time, I have obtained a drop of Ancestral Witch's essence blood by chance, and I am about to offer it to the Third Prince."

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand, with a drop of blood the size of a thumb hanging in his palm.

"This is... Xing Tian's essence blood?"

Nezha stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Exactly!"

"I also tried to take Xing Tian's head before, but neither the Fire-Tipped Spear nor the Universe Ring could harm him in the slightest. How did you manage to do it?" Nezha pressed.

"By chance, I gained some merit from humanity and borrowed the axe of Emperor Yu from the True Lord of the Pure Source Wonderful Way, and only then was I able to barely extract two or three drops," Song Yi said.

"So you have Second Brother's axe." Nezha nodded in realization, looked him up and down, and then said, "It seems you have already evolved a flesh and blood body through this? That's something to celebrate."

"While the golden body of the Dharma Image is indeed powerful, it is ultimately not made of flesh and blood, and thus lacks much of the fun," Song Yi said with a smile. "That's why I thought of offering it to the Third Prince."

Nezha's physical body was formed from a lotus root, and it was not made of flesh and blood. He naturally understood the nature of it.

I am grateful for your kindness this time.

Nezha did not refuse and readily accepted Xing Tian's essence blood.

Although the innate lotus root incarnation is powerful, it always lacks a bit of true flavor when eaten and drunk; even dragon liver and phoenix marrow taste bland.

Moreover, Xing Tian is a descendant of Houtu Niangniang and cultivates earth-based laws.

If one could fuse the innate lotus root incarnation with Xing Tian's essence blood, combining earth and wood, not only would one's strength increase to a higher level, but one might also gain a greater chance of stepping into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Among the disciples of the three sects of Ren, Chan, and Jie, only Yang Jian has reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian, making him comparable to the second-generation disciples.

Nezha was at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, only half a step away from the Daluo realm.

But this half-step is like an insurmountable chasm.
