Golden Crane Great Saint warned Zhao Sheng that the Reincarnation Pen is coveted by even Supreme Dao Ancestors, urging secrecy before his Harmonization. He recounted the legend of Reincarnation Dao Ancestor, who wielded the pen to control new Ancestors' births, and the cataclysmic battle where Reincarnation and Yu Kong fell to a siege by fellow Dao Ancestors. Exposing a scheme by Primordial Ancestors and Supremes that caps modern cultivators at Daluo, the Great Saint began teaching ancient Immortal Laws like the Heaven-Supporting One Qi Technique.

Boundless White Sand Beach extended far into the distance, waves crashing in endless layers against the shore.

Golden Crane Great Saint kept talking without pause, as Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged under a massive boulder, concentrating fully and absorbing every word.

After an indeterminable stretch of time, the Golden Crane Great Saint at last fell silent, pleased, and grinned, "Alright, let’s end here for now. I shall first impart to you the ’Heaven-Supporting One Qi Technique.’

Hearing those words, Zhao Sheng felt a surge of excitement. He straightened up immediately, eyes sparkling as he gazed at the Golden Crane Great Saint.

Right then, the Golden Crane Great Saint patted himself down briefly, eventually extracting a clump of golden monkey hair from his waist.

He brought the monkey hair to his lips and blew softly upon it.

The golden monkey hair rose into the air, quietly morphing into a hazy Light Ball that darted straight into Zhao Sheng’s forehead.

In that instant, a vast flood of knowledge poured into Zhao Sheng’s mind, instantly birthing myriad ancient glyphs and Law Fluctuations.

Zhao Sheng’s skull throbbed like it was cracking apart, while he faintly glimpsed an archaic “existence” of vast, ineffable magnitude.

Regardless of how much he widened his eyes or stretched his Divine Thought to its limits, the “form” or “visage” of that ancient existence remained unseen.

It seemed as though one had transformed into the incarnation of cosmic laws, where mere presence could rattle the principles embedded in the universe’s profoundest depths.

You stood as the supreme manifestation of force, an everlasting emblem of force, undying and indestructible, enduring across endless eras.

After some unknowable interval, Zhao Sheng gradually parted his eyes, his stare profound like a bottomless chasm, carrying a look of aloof indifference, his whole form radiating a primordial, tumultuous aura.

He appeared to have received a profound cleansing, transformed almost into another being entirely.

Noticing Zhao Sheng’s bearing, a flash of surprise crossed the Golden Crane Great Saint’s eyes, and he promptly yelled, "Zhao Kid, wake up quickly!"

His shout barely landed when Zhao Sheng trembled, snapping back from his detached trance, vitality and sharpness returning to his gaze.

"Ah, good that you’re awake. I almost messed it up earlier. I didn’t expect your Innate Talent to be so strong; you actually sensed the force embodiment left by the Qingtian Great Saint on your first time. It seems I truly didn’t choose the wrong person this time.

Zhao Kid, you are indeed destined for my path!"

Eyes gleaming, the Golden Crane Great Saint gazed at Zhao Sheng nearby, unable to stop his repeated exclamations of admiration.

"Thank you, Great Saint, for bestowing this skill!" Rising to his feet, Zhao Sheng offered a deep, respectful bow to the Golden Crane Great Saint, his gratitude profound and genuine.

Tucking his hands into his sleeves, the Golden Crane Great Saint beamed widely and replied, "Haha, I said long ago I wanted to form a good relationship with you, no need for formalities."

Suddenly, the Golden Crane Great Saint inquired, "Do you know that the ’Heaven-Supporting One Qi Technique’ is reputed to be the number one force Magic Skill in All Heavens and Universes, ranking among the top three in terms of difficulty among all Immortal Laws. Throughout history, countless forebears of the Ape Clan exhausted their entire Life Span trying to comprehend this technique, yet all ended up in obscurity.

To my knowledge, only twenty-three individuals have ever comprehended this technique throughout history. Among them, sixteen were from the Ape Clan, only two were Human Cultivators, and the remaining five came from other Alien Races combined.

Can you guess how many among those twenty-three became immortals and how many became saints?"

After pondering briefly, Zhao Sheng answered, "I cannot guess, senior."

"Oh, it’s no fun. I asked you to guess, so you should just guess anyway! Let me tell you. Including myself among those twenty-three, without exception, all have attained longevity, and all stand above the True Immortal level."

Those words made Zhao Sheng’s face shift noticeably.

For whatever reason, after all their time together, the Golden Crane Great Saint had grown not just more spirited and relaxed, but also remarkably chatty.

"Haha, now you understand how precious the Immortal Law I imparted to you is!"

Bursting with pride, the Golden Crane Great Saint chuckled heartily for quite some time before circling back to the point, "The entry into the Heavenly Pillar Immortal Technique is exceedingly difficult, and the difficulty lies in how to construct the ’Heaven and Earth Furnace’ within the body. However..."

Pausing there, he veered off, "However, with my presence, I guarantee you’ll enter quickly."

Saying so, the Golden Crane Great Saint seized the long braid at his nape, lightly brushing it against the glowing white cluster.

In a flash, the entire world underwent a dramatic shift.

Azure skies, fluffy clouds, expansive seas, and sandy shores all disappeared, supplanted by rolling mountain ranges.

Deep within those peaks, a colossal Golden Giant Ape, immense as a mountain, perched atop a stony mound, idly grabbing jade-hued rocks nearby and popping them into its maw nonstop.

The giant ape’s hunger resembled an endless abyss, its stomach showing no sign of filling no matter how many rocks vanished down its throat.

Within mere moments, it had consumed half the hill beneath it, with no end in sight to its feasting.

Several miles off, Zhao Sheng observed closely, when a voice abruptly rang in his ear, "Zhao Kid, look carefully!"

No sooner had the command echoed than this realm of heaven and earth froze completely.

Right away, the Golden Giant Ape’s body grew translucent, muscles and fur fading, revealing its vibrant Five Viscera and six internal organs.

Among those pulsing organs, the stomach blazed like a blazing Great Sun, unleashing intense, searing radiance and heat.

The heart, liver, lungs, and rest glowed in varied hues, resembling “Bright Moon” wheels that steadily tempered the stomach’s fierce blaze.

At the same time, across the Five Viscera, six internal organs, and all meridians, countless “Stars”

sparkled in the gaps.

These “Stars” represented the body’s True Acupoints, linked and layered into a vast, intricate web that formed the nascent “furnace” Crystal Wall.

Myriad Law Fluctuations flowed and shifted among the stars, subtly intertwining into a profoundly elaborate Law array.
