However, true awakening is still a long way off. Just like in the primordial era, after Panhuang transformed into heaven and earth and created all things, there was still a period of time before the emergence of the Heavenly Dao. The same principle applies now.
Therefore, the importance of offerings becomes apparent. With offerings, this process can be greatly shortened; otherwise, if the Heavenly Dao were to settle for tens of thousands of years, or even several eons, wouldn't it be too late by then?
With this in mind, Lin Yang took out a Saint-level Holy Spirit. As for why it was a Holy Spirit, well, their race was born of nature and nurtured by heaven and earth, being closest to the very essence of heaven and earth.
As for his cultivation level being only at the Saint level, it is because the Heavenly Dao itself is still weak.
After all, the Heavenly Dao at this time has only just begun to develop a trace of instinct, and is still a long way from maturity and transcendence. Naturally, it is impossible for it to use the Supreme Sacrifice right away.
"The Dao Fire appears."
As he spoke, Lin Yang took out a spirit lamp, and a flame appeared on the lamp. After the flame entered the Holy Spirit's body, it immediately started burning and burned faster and faster!
At the same time, it released bursts of fragrance. As the Dao fire burned, the Holy Spirit's body and soul directly transformed into the purest essence, heading towards the altar to be absorbed by the Heavenly Dao in the darkness.
A moment later, the saint-level holy spirit completely vanished. At the same time, a phantom eye appeared directly above the altar, staring at Lin Yang and his companion without any expression.
"Good, it's a success! To create a realm of Heavenly Dao and observe its birth—what an incredible opportunity!"
At this moment, Lin Yang was extremely excited. Especially after seeing the illusory Eye of Heaven, his excitement grew even stronger.
The ruthless woman on the altar was no different. However, her willpower was much stronger than Lin Yang's. Although she was also excited, she was able to control her behavior and continued dancing. Only, her every move exuded even more excitement.
"Okay, keep it up!"
As he spoke, Lin Yang took out the holy spirits of nine saints and offered them as a sacrifice once more. When this time it ended, the Eye of Heaven, though still illusory, had become more solid than before.
Next came a Saint King-level Holy Spirit, followed by nine. Then came Great Saints, and then Quasi-Emperors! Finally, three Great Accomplished Holy Spirits and two Incomplete Supreme Beings arrived.
At this point, the previously illusory Eye of Heaven, after the sacrifice of the nine Quasi-Emperors, became quite vivid and lively. Lin Yang and the Ruthless Man could even sense its joy and delight from its eyes!

Chapter 63: The Immortal Daoist Appears, Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors with Extremely High Levels of Chuunibyou (delusional) Character
The wonders of creation, coupled with the use of the Heaven-Mending and Sun-Bathing Divine Power, made the Ruthless Man appear even more holy. The Heavenly Eye was able to rapidly digest the countless primordial flames that had just been ignited, precisely with the aid of the Ruthless Man's divine power.
At this moment, Lin Yang was playing the role of the father of the Eye of Heaven, constantly taking out food to feed it. The Ruthless One, on the other hand, was playing the role of the mother, constantly using her supernatural powers to help it digest its food.
With their combined efforts, it only took a few quarters of an hour for the nine quasi-emperors to be completely digested by the Heavenly Eye, which was still in a phantom state and had not yet been fully born.
At this moment, the Heavenly Eye, which had been devouring everything like an abyss, suddenly reacted, emitting a beam of light that appeared before Lin Yang and his companion. Upon closer inspection, it was a picture!
The painting depicts an ancient Taoist priest. He wears a golden crown, holds a whisk, and his body shimmers with five-colored divine light. The ruthless man knew this was a phenomenon that occurred after physical cultivation had reached its peak.
Surrounding the Taoist priest were several imposing figures. These people included the old and the young, men and women, and one glance was enough for the ruthless man to recognize their identities.
"This old man is a fragmented supreme being from the Divine Ruins, an ancient emperor from about 800,000 years ago. This young man, surrounded by immortal energy, is a great emperor from the Immortal Tomb, a great emperor born of the human race 600,000 years ago."
"In his youth, he protected humanity for a time, but unfortunately, in his old age, in pursuit of immortality, he severed his own life, becoming the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone. Later, he even instigated a dark upheaval, truly an unforgivable crime!"
"This woman was a Great Saint Spirit who attained enlightenment 300,000 years ago, similar to the Stone Emperor. Her strength is not bad, after all, she is a Saint Spirit who attained enlightenment. In your words, she is at least at the peak of the late stage of the sixth rank."
Soon, the ruthless man explained the identities of the five supreme beings from forbidden zones in the scene, excluding the old Taoist priest. However, when it came to the old Taoist priest's turn, things took a turn for the worse.
Suddenly, the old Taoist priest in the image seemed to sense something, and then gave Lin Yang and the ruthless man a cold laugh. The image then shattered. Seeing this, the ruthless man's expression turned cold, and killing intent appeared.
"This person's robes are very ancient, dating back millions of years. He's probably some ancient relic that's never died. Now that he's come back to life, he might as well die!"
"This is a warning from Heaven. We are currently trying to awaken the newly born Heaven, while they are trying every means to eliminate us, especially you. Therefore, Heaven is automatically issuing a warning. This is Heaven! Only with Heaven can the development or evolution of the world embark on the right path!"
After making that remark, Lin Yang's confidence grew even stronger. He also felt more certain about the future. However, some reminders still needed to be given.
"That old Taoist priest might be the one from Purple Mountain!" Lin Yang said calmly.
Although he didn't know why Lin Yang said that, since he had said it, the ruthless man believed it and immediately frowned.
"Purple Mountain? Isn't that where the Immortal Emperor is buried? This person looks to be at least an Emperor. Could he be a descendant of the Immortal Emperor?"
If it's just a disciple, there's nothing to fear! Unless the Undying Emperor himself comes, it's just a disciple; one hand is enough to suppress him!
"No, he is most likely the embodiment of the Undying Emperor's faith, a new life created by the Undying Emperor by collecting countless powers of faith and combining them with some of his own memories. In terms of strength, he should be comparable to the Flawless Emperor, or even one of the best among the Emperors. By the way, his name is the Undying Daoist."
"So what if he's an immortal Taoist? Even if the Immortal Emperor himself were to be resurrected, so what? He's just an old immortal who's past his prime. If he were to appear before me, there would be no choice but to fight him."
Well said, that's what a ruthless person is! However, despite her eloquent words, the ruthless person's actions actually quickened, clearly indicating that she wasn't entirely unconcerned.
Soon, in just a moment, the deceased Great Accomplished Holy Spirit was completely digested by the Heavenly Dao.
What was originally a purely illusory Eye of Heaven was now extremely excited, continuously emitting invisible laws that spread throughout the world.
These invisible laws permeate everything and merge with heaven and earth themselves. They appear once with each sacrifice. And each time these laws pass through a wider area, they spread outwards.
With a hum, the Eye of Heaven was almost solidified. On the ground, there was even an extremely illusory shadow.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Daoist had already arrived outside the altar with five incomplete Supreme Beings.
Although these supreme beings are all incomplete, having already severed themselves, their strength is still far beyond that of ordinary quasi-emperors.
At the very least, one would need to be an unorthodox enlightened being, or possess a holy body, a domineering body, or a holy spirit after achieving great success, to be able to fight them on equal terms!
"Gentlemen, it's right here. I sense that within this formation lies an exceptionally precious treasure. Once obtained, it grants the hope of immortality. As for the distribution, let's settle that after we defeat the ruthless one, each of us can decide our own fate, shall we?" The Undying Daoist said calmly, looking at the flawless imperial formation before him.
"Indeed, I sensed something as well, otherwise I wouldn't have come here with you directly. In that case, let's deal with the Ruthless Great Emperor first, and then each of us can rely on our own methods."
"That's exactly how it should be!"
"I agree."
