Chapter 590: Heaven Rewards Diligence
Zhou Feng mobilized all the strength in his body, and his Invincible Avatar slowly descended.
A shadow instantly suppressed all the phenomena.
That Invincible Avatar caused the originally excited crowd to reveal fear on their faces.
“Run!”
“Quickly run!”
“…”
Those with quick reactions immediately chose to run.
This was because, with just a glance, they could feel the huge gap between themselves and Zhou Feng.
Who in their right minds would linger here a second longer under such circumstances?
“Longevity Extermination!”
Zhou Feng reversed the longevity substances in his body and manipulated the Great Void Primordial Qi.
Zhou Feng summoned a long spear that was flowing with extraordinary colors. It was as white as jade and full of colors.
It looked like pieces of magical equipment, but the destructive power contained in it was something that even Zhou Feng himself could not withstand.
His skin began to age, crack, and even looked like it was about to wither.
After the longevity substances were reverse-engineered, they instantly changed from the most desirable thing in the world to a terrifying substance.

This was the divine ability that Zhou Feng had comprehended after sleeping for so long.
This divine ability also had huge flaws, and it could even be said that it wasn’t created at all.
Now, he was completely using it by force, and it was somewhat similar to the Longevity Steps from before.
However, it didn’t matter. Although this divine ability had many flaws, Zhou Feng was able to bear all of them.
The injuries on his body started to recover in an instant.
In the next instant, Ge Li witnessed a crazy massacre.
Those who didn’t leave immediately were all pierced through the heart by the extermination spear.
There was no time for them to react.
Those who were hit by the extermination spears began to age at an accelerated rate.
It was as if their entire body was accelerated hundreds of times. Their skin was smooth and full of wrinkles, and their figures became tall and slender.

Finally, they fell directly into the sea and died here.
The most alarming thing was that these spears couldn’t be blocked at all. A cultivator with a Heart-Protecting Mirror was directly pierced through.
The Heart-Protecting Mirror, which was shining in a different light, did not have any effect.
After a while, the scene calmed down.
“So powerful!”
Zhou Feng sighed after witnessing Longevity Extermination’s power.
The anti-longevity substances were terrifying.
However, there were also the effects of the various passive buffs. The passive Human Slayer’s buffs were still very obvious.
Until now, the passive Human Slayer had accumulated about 100,000 stacks.
All of Zhou Feng’s attacks could enjoy the passive Human Slayer’s buffs.
It was also because of this that he was able to clear the area in the shortest amount of time.
‘I can draw a new passive!’
He glanced at the skill panel and found that the last progress bar was full.
In other words, he might be able to draw another abnormal passive like the passive Human Slayer.
It was hard to imagine how much Zhou Feng’s strength would improve at this rate.
When these passives were stacked together, there wouldn’t be a qualitative change when the number was small.
But after the number increased, his strength would definitely increase.
It just so happened that he was in an incubation period.
“Alright! The problem is solved! Let’s talk about the land of inheritance!”
After dealing with these little ants, Zhou Feng turned his gaze back to Ge Li.
“Ah?”
Ge Li was still in shock by the strength Zhou Feng displayed.
Now, Ge Li couldn’t help but admire her boldness.
She had actually dared to drag Zhou Feng into the Arcane Ink Space.
If Zhou Feng had any evil intentions, there was no way she could escape.
Fortunately, her luck seemed to be very good.
Ge Li returned to her senses and asked softly, “Then, let’s go?”
Compared to before, she was less casual and more reserved.
There was no intuitive difference before, but Ge Li was naturally not so calm now that there was.
“Let’s go,” replied Zhou Feng.
Next, Ge Li led him in a direction slowly.
Taking advantage of this free time, he also drew the new passive skill.
“Drawing…”
“Drawing successful!”
It was still the familiar process.
But this time, it was different.
‘Golden light again!?’
Threads of golden light appeared on the skill panel. Apart from that, Zhou Feng could vaguely hear the chanting of the great Dao.
It was as if the whole world was cheering for it.
“What kind of passive skill is this? There’s actually a phenomenon?”
Zhou Feng’s state of mind was originally very stable. After all, he had drawn many passive draws, and he was already used to it.
However, the new passive skill seemed to be a little unusual.
Heaven Rewards Diligence: Pay, and you shall receive! You are the son of the Heavenly Dao!
3
This new passive skill had a very simple description, but the effect was heaven-defying.
‘Pay, and you shall receive? This…’
When Zhou Feng saw this passive skill, he was momentarily stunned.
What did the son of the Heavenly Dao indicate? That one was the most beloved child of the heavens!
As long as one gave, there would be a reward. This didn’t sound like much, but if one thought about it carefully, they would be able to understand how terrifying it was.
There was a question of the rate of return involved, just like how mortals cultivated.
Despite their hard work in cultivation, most mortals’ aptitudes and other factors limited their potential.
The return was zero! There wasn’t necessarily a return for putting in the effort.
Sometimes, putting in a lot of effort might just make the body healthier.
The Heavenly Dao rewarded diligence. This was only applicable to geniuses. Even cultivating the Demonic Dao required talent.
Cultivating the Demonic Dao required a lot of character. A single act of ruthlessness could eliminate many people.
But now that Zhou Feng had this passive skill, it meant that no matter what he did, there would be a return.
For example, enlightenment. Before this, Zhou Feng would not have been able to comprehend anything. Most of the time, he would just be sitting there.
But now, he would definitely be able to gain something, even if there were very few things.
But this was still the difference from zero to one.
Zhou Feng couldn’t help but ask himself, ‘Is this passive skill real?’
To think that such an abnormal passive skill could actually be drawn.
With this passive skill, perhaps the great Dao of Longevity wouldn’t be his only pursuit.
It seemed like he could pick up pill refining, forging, and other side jobs.
In the beginning, due to his limited aptitude and other factors, Zhou Feng had no choice but to give up many side jobs, such as pill refinement.
This was because only in this way could he put all his energy into cultivation.
Now that he had the passive Heaven Rewards Diligence, he wouldn’t be content with just mastering pill refinement.
There was also the grotto-heaven space that he wanted in the beginning.
‘I want to see if I’m more powerful or if those freaks from the Central Plains are more powerful!’
Zhou Feng’s mentality swelled up a lot in an instant.
He wanted to see if he could do it and become the genuine son of the Heavenly Dao.
