"Chirp chirp chirp~~~ Twit-twoo~~~"
Crisp bird songs awakened Yang Hong from his slumber.
"Mmm~ I haven't slept this soundly in a long time. I really had a deep sleep."
He stretched, and his body crackled.
Then he looked at his status panel.

Yang Hong had slept for more than half a year, from autumn to spring.
His strength had only increased his Divine Sense from 22,000 li to 25,000 li, and his Top-tier Body Tempering Technique had advanced by 6 layers.
However, Yang Hong had a feeling that his Dharma Power could be improved again.
"Husband, are you alright?"
When Yang Hong left the room and entered the living room, Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan were drinking tea. They immediately got up to greet Yang Hong.
"Of course I'm alright. I just consumed too much Divine Sense while saving people before and was a bit tired. I slept it off.
Moreover, my Divine Sense cultivation has slightly increased."
Yang Hong smiled and walked towards the tea table. Zhu Yuyan thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea.
"Mmm~ Moonlight White has reached Tier Five, and its flavor is even more pure and distant, making it more suitable for women to drink."
"If you don't like it, Husband, we have Purple Sun Pu'er. Shall I brew some for you?"
"No need, Moonlight White is fine."
The three of them quietly drank three cups of tea before Yang Hong finally spoke.
"How has it been outside these past six months?"
"The Five Directions Dynasties are well. Because we are protecting them, and the cultivators who entered before also know of our existence and dare not act recklessly, there have been no incidents.
As for outside the Five Directions Domain, we haven't paid attention to it, nor are we interested in doing so.
However, it is said that things have been peaceful. Even the Buddhist cultivators from Immobility Temple who previously came out to intercept the Eight Great Immortal Sects have all retreated."
Zhu Yuyan's voice was gentle and her tone was calm.
After the great change in heaven and earth, she had been influenced by the Dao of Heaven, becoming somewhat aloof.
She used to be passionate.
Yang Hong frowned and looked at Wanwan. Wanwan had also become much quieter.
"Wanwan, you're not teaching your disciples today?"
"It's meaningless. I've played it all before, I'm bored."
If Zhu Yuyan had become aloof, the mischievous Wanwan had turned icy.
"Let's go~ We'll go into the secret chamber and cultivate in seclusion."
"I don't want to."
"It's boring~"
As Yang Hong spoke, Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan both shook their heads and refused.
"..."
Were these still the same master and disciple who used to compete to dual cultivate with him?
Yang Hong suspected their souls had been swapped.
"Come on~"
He didn't waste any more time. He directly used his Dharma Power to restrain the two of them and walked towards the cultivation chamber in the backyard.
And this time, he used all his skills learned over the years, employing various techniques, to make the two of them passionate again.
After a series of soft moans and whispers, they began to cry out loudly as they usually did.
After the rain and clouds dispersed, Yang Hong used his powerful Divine Sense to guide the two of them into meditation for cultivation.
And he no longer taught them the Xuan Yin Sect techniques they originally practiced, but directly imparted the "Great Five Elements True Explanation" he had synthesized.
It should be known that the "Great Five Elements True Explanation" was a Heaven-tier technique, synthesized before he comprehended the Time Domain.
After letting them continue cultivating, Yang Hong went out again and gathered Li Lizhi, Song Yuzhi, Zhou Fengzhi, Jia Yuanchun, and Li Xuefeng.
Amidst their dissatisfied protests, Yang Hong simply used the "Immobile Joyful Buddha" to dual cultivate and suppress them first.
Then, while they were disoriented, he directly helped them switch cultivation techniques.
"This should be much better now."
Looking at the women who were clearly cultivating, Yang Hong was still uneasy and sat beside them to guard them.
While he was in a deep sleep, he could sense the faint feedback from the Dao of Heaven and comprehend some changes in the current Great Dao of heaven and earth.
The most significant changes were likely in the rules of Yin and Yang, and reincarnation.
Previously, due to the seal in the Five Directions Domain, people's souls would quickly dissipate after death, unless they had suffered great injustice, and directly enter reincarnation.
However, with the great change in heaven and earth and the alteration of the Dao of Heaven, after death, regardless of the strength of the soul, it would exist in the human world for a period of time, the duration of which would depend on the soul's strength.
But at least they would exist for seven days.
During these seven days, many souls would likely be killed or captured by ill-intentioned cultivators.
Among them would surely be those Buddhist cultivators who claimed to save all beings.
And that wasn't all. Although Yang Hong could not see the underworld and could not sense it, after the great change in the Dao of Heaven, there was a feeling in the dark that if he wanted to avoid reincarnation, he had to believe in my Buddha.
The entire Taiyuan Continent had fallen under the control of Buddhism and the Buddhist realm.
Only the fundamental Great Daos of Time and Space were not affected, and the Great Dao of Five Elements, which was the foundation of the world, was not greatly impacted.
This was why Yang Hong had resolutely decided to have Zhu Yuyan and the others switch their cultivation techniques.
It should be known that once a person decides on their main cultivation technique, changing it later would damage their foundation. At best, their cultivation progress would slow down, and at worst, their cultivation would regress, and they would never advance in their lifetime.
Even with Yang Hong's powerful cultivation, he had not asked Zhu Yuyan and the others to change their techniques before.
It was precisely because of this great change in the Dao of Heaven, and because Zhu Yuyan and the others had previously entered a state of enlightenment, feeling a preliminary transformation of the Dao, that he had directly used such forceful means to help them switch their cultivation.
"Alas~ I'm destined to be a busybody."
Indeed, Yang Hong's worries had come to pass.
Zhou Fengzhi, who had the lowest cultivation, began to have an unstable aura around her.
Yang Hong quickly embraced her, entered her body, and simultaneously expanded his Divine Sense, entering a state similar to enlightenment, and began to guide the rules of the Five Elements to cleanse her body and nascent soul.
Then, he transmitted weakened Five Elements rules into her body, continuously cleansing it.
"Poor thing~"
The cleansing by the Five Elements rules was not like taking a bath.
If it were just a little bit, it would be like being bitten by a swarm of mosquitoes.
But if it lasted for a long time, it would be like swarms of mosquitoes, biting repeatedly and endlessly.
Even with Yang Hong's current cultivation, he felt unbearable pain, and itching that went to the bone.
If he hadn't experienced the pain of physical reconstruction in the spatial passage, he wouldn't have been able to endure it.
"Sigh~ Such bad luck~"
Just as he stabilized Zhou Fengzhi's condition, Zhu Yuyan also encountered problems.
For the next month, he did not leave the cultivation chamber. Except for Li Lizhi, who was a reincarnator and might have a strong soul and destiny, the other six encountered accidents during the process of switching to the "Great Five Elements True Explanation."
But this seemed to be the normal reaction to switching cultivation techniques.
After a month, Yang Hong's cultivation had directly regressed to 300 years of the Integration Realm!
If Li Lizhi and the others couldn't successfully switch their cultivation, he might have to downgrade his cultivation.
