Hearing the surprise in the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's voice, Zhou Bai nervously asked, "What's wrong? Is this Divine Body not good? Defective? Should I ask Demon Saint for a refund?" "That's not the issue." The Supreme Heavenly Venerate thought for a moment and said with a surprised tone, "You... have already cultivated your second Primordial Spirit... this Divine Body has already become your second Primordial Spirit. When did Demon Saint help you achieve this? Truly marvelous skills." Zhou Bai: "It's already cultivated? How do I use it then? What are the advantages of this Divine Body?" The Supreme Heavenly Venerate said, "Next, I'll teach you the method to refine the second Primordial Spirit. Once you refine it, you can use it directly. Follow my instructions, and you'll naturally grasp the mysteries within, but the hidden dangers within it will have to be gradually eliminated by you over time." Zhou Bai sat cross-legged and refined the Divine Body in front of him according to the method taught by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. He saw his Divine Body crackling, as the vitality and spiritual energy seemed to flow more vigorously. Zhou Bai felt that with each breath of this body, he was inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of the sea spirit into the Divine Body, continuously enhancing its strength, resilience, stamina, and other attributes. This Divine Body, in terms of strength, speed, stamina, resilience, recovery, and other parameters, far exceeded that of ordinary humans, and was even stronger than Zhou Bai's original body in strength and stamina. Unfortunately, even though this Divine Body had been refined into a second Primordial Spirit by Zhou Bai, it was still just a second Primordial Spirit and not Zhou Bai's true body, unable to inherit the power of the Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man. The Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "As everyone knows, the Divine Body is when Spiritual People push their Dao Transformation Degree to 100%, comprehending the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and being recognized by the Heavenly Dao to assume a divine position, allowing them to break through the 100% Dao Transformation Degree limit, thus transforming their body qualitatively, containing the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao." "Any Divine Body of a true god no longer breathes air like ordinary people, and even almost loses the need for sunlight, temperature, air, water, food, the various necessary conditions for mortal survival, and can even survive in the vacuum of the universe just by relying on the Divine Body."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai was delighted: "This good?" He took a few deep breaths, feeling the changes in his body, and finally expressed dissatisfaction, "The efficiency is very low, not as fast as my own cultivation." The Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "Nonsense, otherwise why would anyone bother cultivating after becoming a god?" Zhou Bai sighed: "In the end, I still have to cultivate myself. I thought I wouldn't need to cultivate anymore in the future." "Of course, you have to cultivate yourself." The Supreme Heavenly Venerate stated, "Moreover, not only does your Divine Body need to be personally cultivated, but your original body also can't give up on cultivation, whether it's the original body or the Divine Body, both need to persist in cultivation. After all, no matter how strong the second Primordial Spirit is, it's just a second Primordial Spirit, not connected with your original body's cultivation level. The original intention of the Demon Saint in letting the demons use Divine Bodies is to occupy the divine positions in the Immortal Ascension Book, monopolizing the status of true gods." Zhou Bai pursed his lips: "Understood, it's like opening a new account. Not only is it not easier, but now I have another account to cultivate." The Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "The efficiency of using the Divine Body to cultivate Daoist techniques far exceeds that of ordinary people, after all, the Divine Body is the advanced form of Spiritual People adapting to the Heavenly Dao. Their ability to apply spiritual energy and the Heavenly Dao far surpasses that of a mortal body..." While refining the Divine Body and familiarizing himself with this second Primordial Spirit, Externalized Body, Zhou Bai curiously asked, "What exactly is so special about this divine position? I don't feel any difference fighting Immortals or true gods." The Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "A true god with a divine position acts as a proxy of the Heavenly Dao. The efficiency of cultivating Daoist techniques and the power of using those techniques will be higher than Immortals of the same level." "Secondly, as a true god continuously improves their understanding of the Heavenly Dao, enhancing their connection with it, once their Dao Transformation Degree exceeds 180%, they can perform the functions endowed by their divine position." "Speaking of which... fortunately, the distortion of the Heavenly Dao caused a significant decline in the Dao Transformation Degree of true gods, otherwise, if they had their peak strength, we'd probably be beaten to a pulp." Zhou Bai: "What's the point of saying this now? Since you received the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's memory, do you know what his plan is? It can't be that he really wants me to marry Ming Yue, right?" The Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "The wisdom of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate is in no way inferior to ours, do you think he'd send along this kind of memory too?" "True, even with my wisdom, I wouldn't do such a foolish thing, let alone the wisdom of the Supreme. It seems his goal is none other than the Immortal Ascension Book or the divine position?" Zhou Bai nodded in agreement. "He incited a conflict between the Immortals and gods with me, which indicates that the current true gods aren't aware that by ascending through the Immortal Ascension Book they'll encounter Demon Saint? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so eager to stop me? Because since I'm a Spiritual Person, the Demon Saint would certainly stop me, right?" "Unless they think the Supreme Heavenly Venerate can cover this up for me? Or has the Demon Saint only recently been able to take this step? And the God Emperor controlling the Immortal Ascension Book hasn't informed the true gods?" "Could it be that the God Emperor has already allied with the Heavenly Venerates?" Zhou Bai suddenly felt this possibility greatly plausible, after all, if the God Emperor is also a Spiritual Person, then betraying the demons and inciting an Immortal-god war seems reasonable. "Maybe the God Emperor realized that the Demon Saint's influence on the Heavenly Dao, control over the divine position and the Immortal Ascension Book was getting stronger, so he wanted to take a gamble?" The more Zhou Bai thought about it, the more sense it made, and he felt this was the truth, inadvertently applauding his own cleverness. The Supreme Heavenly Venerate disdainfully said, "Quit letting your imagination run wild, your current wisdom is only 76% of normal, how could anything you come up with be the truth?" Zhou Bai: "What do you know, even with just 76% of my wisdom, I'm still an unparalleled genius, unraveling any scheme in mere moments." The Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "Bullcrap, who doesn't know what you're like? If you hadn't been hacking, and weren't good-looking and charming, you'd have been dead long ago. Once you get out, figure out a way to slip away. Who cares about Demon Saint, the God Emperor, or the Heavenly Venerate, we'll go level up first." Even with 76% wisdom, Zhou Bai was not convinced, arguing with the Supreme Heavenly Venerate while refining the Divine Body. But it was uncertain whether it was because his wisdom had decreased or because the Supreme Heavenly Venerate knew him too well, neither could convince the other, and they ended up comparing whose parents were better. As Zhou Bai and the Supreme Heavenly Venerate were arguing chaotically, the returning Demon Saint said, "You've mastered the Divine Body, right? Then don't linger too long here..." The first word "god" was crystal clear in Zhou Bai's ears, while the last word "here" had become vague and ethereal. When Zhou Bai snapped back to reality, he found himself holding the Immortal Ascension Book, standing in the hall. He felt his twisted shadow currently enwrapped by the Divine Body, as if using the twisted shadow to control the Divine Body. He instantly remembered that if the demonic identity of a true god was exposed, there seemed to be a tribulation thunder. The demons were hiding within the Divine Body. 'I wonder if my main body and deformed form would get struck.' Then he looked around the hall. On the left were countless true gods pouring in with a tsunami of spiritual energy, trying to tear him apart. On the right, an array of Immortals were rushing over with all their might, trying to stand in front of him to protect him.
