All the people present who had shared Tang Ruhai's ability never imagined that the information transmitted by the black shadow would actually be true. As long as they lay down, they could resist madness and distortion. To them, this was simply a miracle. If they no longer had to worry about madness and distortion in the future, life would become much easier. And the impact brought by lying like the sea was far more than that. "Mystic." Zhou Bai waved his hand and transmitted a voice message: "Attack them slightly." The mystic stomped on the ground, and the ground shattered. Pieces of gravel were propelled into the air. With a wave of her hand, a rain of stones shot out like cannonballs, sweeping toward everyone. Amidst the explosive sounds, stones hit everyone's bodies, only to shatter without harming anyone. Everyone looked in amazement at themselves, then at the ground pockmarked by stones beside them, unable to believe how resilient their bodies had become. When the stones first hit them, they thought they were going to be seriously injured, but seeing their unharmed bodies now, they were all surprised and delighted. Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit swept over them without speaking, merely inputting related information into their consciousness. Lying down not only can resist madness and distortion but also grants extraordinary defensive power, able to withstand various attacks. Feeling the information from Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit, each person lying on the ground showed surprise, excitement, and joy in their eyes. Just imagining briefly, they understood that this miraculous power would completely change their lives. At this moment, Zhou Bai in their eyes was already a being as high as a celestial or Buddha, filled with incredible power. And looking at the people lying on the ground in front of him, Zhou Bai showed a satisfied smile on his face. Of course, others couldn't see the smile on his face, only seeing a purely black shadow floating in midair, with black mud churning like flames, and the shape constantly changing, appearing cold, lonely, and eerie. Recalling the power displayed after the black shadow appeared, people dared not look more. Zhou Bai was quite pleased with everyone's current attitude, which was beneficial for advancing his next plan. Meanwhile, the thirty people, each given one of three Ugly Picture abilities to cultivate, also experienced changes in themselves. They were selected by Zhou Bai, people with a slight foundation in cultivation, mainly those who had given up on cultivation due to poor aptitude. But today, after swallowing that strange black mud, the subsequent cultivation immediately made them feel different. Under the 70% path transformation degree's boost, the Ugly Picture's power and the change in cultivation efficiency far exceeded ordinary understanding. Compared to their past as civilians, having never even entered the Dao School, with a path transformation degree of 0, their cultivation efficiency skyrocketed like a rocket. Originally taking several days to increase 1 point of Primordial Spirit power, now it increased 1 point within these few minutes. The accomplished cultivator with extraordinary aptitude, Jiang Weishan, especially felt the difference. It was as if he had received profound enlightenment. All the various key points in cultivation and the challenges in Dao techniques suddenly connected, and he understood them all. He felt that if he could go into seclusion for a period of time, he could likely make great improvements in cultivation, perhaps even consider advancing to the sixth realm. Beside him, Yu Gang felt similarly. The two looked at the deep and churning black shadow in the air, their eyes filled with shock, extremely curious about what exactly the other party had given them. They felt that the other party should harbor no malice. Otherwise, with such a power to twist minds at will, there was no need for such trouble. 'Who exactly is he?' Yu Gang couldn't help but think: 'Some kind of higher existence? This investigation... we've uncovered something unbelievable.' Jiang Weishan was also extremely curious about the black shadow's identity but worried that asking rashly might displease the other party. He pondered on how to test without offense. Just then, a female voice came from the crowd behind him: "Who are you?" Zhou Bai continued in his knowledge sea: "Proceed." Christina rolled her eyes, continuing to transmit the voice with Primordial Spirit power, pretending to ask as an ordinary person: "Are you here to save us?" Seeing two groups of people's attention drawn to herself, Zhou Bai thought: 'No one dared to speak to me directly, I had to use Christina as an intermediary.' Christina worriedly asked, "Zhou Bai, are you really going to do this?" Zhou Bai nodded seriously and said, "This is the fastest and most effective way I can think of now to protect them and strengthen them, and it can also enhance my combat power. It's a mutually beneficial way, and I can unilaterally end it anytime. Why not use it?" The next moment, with a thought, the mechanical familiars in the air vibrated slightly, transmitting his voice layer upon layer, causing his whispers to reverberate throughout the factory. "I am Yuanshi Tianzun." "One of the ancient sages." As he spoke, the seed of madness dripped out from the black shadow. "Today, I bestow the Longevity Dao Fruit, establishing the destiny of the human race." The seed of madness was a mass of pulsating, twisting black mud, like a living thing, exuding a foul smell. Jiang Weishan and others were surprised to see the seed of madness: 'So this thing is called Longevity Dao Fruit?' Zhou Bai's whispers continued: "I establish the first teaching, passing the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, as the foundation of the human race's eternal legacy." After hearing these two sentences, most people, under the role of the fool, were already bewildered, and basically followed whatever Zhou Bai said next without question. The next moment, the Guihai black evilness appeared on the ground, walls, and ceiling, becoming twisted characters. Men's and women's voices gradually sounded in the air, softly chanting those distorted characters. "Someone burned me with fire!" "Lie down... lie down..." "Someone stabbed me with a knife!" "Lie down... lie down..." "The Heavenly Demon is tearing my flesh." "Lie down... lie down..." "The distortion is destroying my sanity." "Lie down... lie down..." "The aberration is twisting my intestines." "Lie down... lie down..." "The demons are sucking my flesh and blood." "Lie down... lie down..." "The great Yuanshi Tianzun watches over me from outside Daluo Heaven." For original chapters go to novel⦿fire.net "As long as I lie down, he will protect me." "The earth is forever stuck to my back." "My hands and feet are agile and flexible." "I run lying down, I dance lying down." "Yuanshi Tianzun watches over me..."
