Chapter 130: A flawed state of mind
The core star field of Qianwu Universe Kingdom, the outskirts of Qianwu Secret Realm surrounded by endless nebulae.

Boom!

A star in the nebula lit up with brilliant divine light.

Then a triangular black spaceship emerged from it. It was Shen Mu's vehicle, the Star.

This time when he returned to Qianwu Universe, Shen Mu naturally came to pay a visit to the Qianwu Kingdom Master Teacher first.

……

In the core of Qianwu Secret Realm, brilliant divine light rises into the sky, and a magnificent temple is suspended in the void.

As soon as Shen Mu entered the top floor of the temple, he saw the King of Qianwu wearing a scaled armor robe.

"Disciple Shen Mu, hello to the teacher!"

Shen Mu hurriedly bowed respectfully to greet him.

The King of Qianwu laughed, and an invisible and gentle force lifted Shen Mu up.

"Hey, isn't this the Silver Sand King who has recently risen in the battlefield outside the domain!"

Not many people know Shen Mu's identity as the Silver Sand King. Apart from the tribe's Lord of the Universe, only a very small number of Universe Lords are aware of Shen Mu's identity.

Among them naturally was Shen Mu’s teacher, the King of Qianwu.

"I made a splash on the battlefield outside the domain. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, teacher." Shen Mu said with a chuckle.

King Qianwu looked at his young disciple with some emotion.

In just a few thousand years, the little star-level guy had become a member of the Hong Alliance and a truly powerful one among the immortals.

In terms of strength, even his second disciple, King Qingtian, might not be able to do anything to this little guy.

To be honest, King Qianwu has thought that his little disciple will become a strong man in the future.

But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

The Lord of Qianwu said with great satisfaction: "This is nothing special. I'm afraid that when you break through to immortality in the future, your strength will catch up with mine."

"Come on, we haven't had a good drink together in all these years, let's drink to our heart's content today."

King Qianwu was very happy that Shen Mu came to see him as soon as he returned.

It was because of Shen Mu's character that he chose to accept Shen Mu as his personal disciple.

Now it seems that my choice was not wrong at all. This child really cares about this old man who is no longer able to help him.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Shen Mu's face, and he accompanied Teacher Qianwu State Lord to drink and reminisce about the past.

During this process, Shen Mu also told Teacher Qianwu about his experiences on the battlefield outside the domain over the years.

It wasn't a bumpy start, and there was no danger to life, but it made King Qianwu miss it very much.

This is how he came step by step back then.

Three days later, the solar system.

hum!
Ripples appeared in the space, and then Shen Mu's figure emerged out of thin air.

A blue planet came into Shen Mu's sight.

"After nearly five thousand years, I'm finally back."

Five thousand years is insignificant on the scale of the universe and humanity.

But for the people on Earth today, Shen Mu has become a legend. You have to know that the Chinese civilization at that time only had a reliable history of 5,000 years.

Suddenly, Shen Mu felt an invisible gaze falling on him.

Following the gaze, Shen Mu saw through layers of space and saw a magnificent temple located in the middle of the space.

The one who sits in charge of this temple is the cosmic master sent by the master of Bingfeng, who is given the title of Yanshen.

After seeing that the figure who teleported was Shen Mu, the gaze was retracted.

Shen Mu bowed slightly towards the temple, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the space.

……

After thousands of years of development, Earth's civilization has spread throughout the Black Dragon Mountain star field.

As the ancestral planet, the Earth has now completely become a perfect habitable planet, and all industrial production is placed on other planets.

It was March, late spring.

Shen Mu and Tang Yongqing were flying slowly above the clouds, looking down at the scenery of the north.

“In which year did the Yellow River become clear?”

Shen Mu remembered that the last time he returned to Earth, the Yellow River was not so clear.

Tang Yongqing thought for a moment and said, "It was probably more than 3,000 years ago. There was no deliberate management. With the development of the times and changes in the environment, it naturally became clear."

"I haven't been back for thousands of years, and it feels like the whole world has changed. Now, registering as a warrior requires planetary-level strength." Shen Mu said with a smile.

A few thousand years is not a long time, but it is enough for human civilization to complete its transformation.

Nowadays on Earth, the planetary level has become completely popular, and its status is roughly equivalent to that of the martial arts students of Shen Mu's era.

According to the bloodline classification, humans on Earth should belong to the seventh bloodline. Even if they don't exercise, they will naturally grow to become the so-called peak gods of war when they reach adulthood.

With just a little hard training, you can become a planetary warrior.

"The changes are definitely huge. None of you brothers want the profits from Jiuzhou Company. Most of them are invested in the development of civilization."

"In total, the net profit of Jiuzhou Company has exceeded 1.4 million Hunyuan units in recent years, and more than half of it has been used as public welfare to promote the development of civilization."

Shen Mu was really shocked this time. He looked at Tang Yongqing and asked, "Is this how Jiuzhou Company makes money?"

1.4 million Hunyuan Units are the entire fortune of a high-level immortal marquis. Teacher Huyan Bo has been roaming the starry sky for years, but he has a fortune of tens of millions of Hunyuan Units.

You have to know that those powerful kings have accumulated such wealth over countless years.

Tang Yongqing couldn't help but roll his eyes at Shen Mu and said, "As a major shareholder, you haven't read the company's financial reports in these years, right?"

The rapid development of Jiuzhou Company was mainly after Shen Mu became the direct disciple of the Lord of Bingfeng.

At that time, an immortal king from the investment department of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters personally approached Jiuzhou Company and offered countless incredible investment projects.

These projects are basically the research and development and production of certain monopoly items.

For example, the extremely high-end F-class spacecraft, the domain master-level bloodline evolution agent, etc. This kind of monopoly industry can be described as extremely profitable.

It looks like an investment, but in fact it is a hidden benefit for the disciples directly taught by the Lord of the Universe, who are given a small amount of tens of thousands of Hunyuan units every year.

After Luo Feng became the direct disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, the Virtual Universe Company provided more investment shares in the heaven-defying project, and paid him more than 100,000 Hunyuan units every year.

In this way, it took thousands of years to generate an income of hundreds of millions of Hunyuan units.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, okay?" Shen Mu said with a smile.

Shen Mu now has an inexplicable sense of comfort.

Shen Mu suddenly changed the subject and said, "Sister Yongqing, my parents have all broken through to the realm master level, why are you still at the universe level?"

Tang Yongqing looked a little embarrassed, and whispered: "No... I haven't realized the domain."

My parents are both real warriors, and even now they often train in the major worlds.

Coupled with the blessing of the earthlings' understanding and the precious treasures provided by Shen Mu to enhance the talent of the laws, it is very normal to comprehend the realm.

Tang Yongqing was never a true warrior, his realm was piled up with resources. Although his comprehension was above average among the people on Earth, his talent was also piled up with treasures.

But the problem is that she has almost no practical experience, and it is almost impossible for her to realize the domain out of thin air.

Shen Mu hesitated slightly and said, "Sister Yongqing, I have a method that may help you quickly comprehend the realm, but it may require hardship."

Tang Yongqing pursed her lips slightly and said softly: "Then... I will listen to you."

"Okay, look into my eyes."

"Ok?"

Tang Yongqing looked at Shen Mu with some confusion, and the next moment his consciousness fell into an illusion.

About five seconds later, Tang Yongqing regained consciousness and found himself in a strange yet familiar scene, and became alert instantly.

boom!
The invisible nine-layer wind domain swept over, and the ethereal and sharp artistic conception of the origin of wind emerged from Tang Yongqing's body.

"How did I become the ninth level of the universe!" "Amu!"

"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay..."

Tang Yongqing saw Shen Mu in front of her, and then threw herself into Shen Mu's arms, tears streaming down her face silently.

Shen Mu hugged Tang Yongqing, who was trembling with tears, and whispered, "Sister Yongqing...just now it was an illusion, it was all fake."

Shen Mu had just been ruthless, causing Tang Yongqing to experience an illusion that lasted for two thousand years.

In this two thousand years of illusion, he and his four brothers including Luo Feng all died one after another due to various accidents.

Without the protection of Shen Mu and others, Jiuzhou Company would not be qualified to reap such huge profits.

Then, in just two thousand years, the situation of the people on Earth changed dramatically.

Not only did they lose their current favorable living conditions, but they also lost ownership of the Earth. They were expelled from the Earth and wandered in the universe.

Tang Yongqing, her parents and other relatives, who had always been well protected by Shen Mu, had to stand up and practice hard in order to make life better for human beings on Earth.

And this was just the beginning. Shen Mu was even more cruel and caused accidents to happen to his parents, friends, and others in the illusion one after another, leaving Tang Yongqing alone to lead the development of the human race that had suffered a great change.

For two thousand years, Tang Yongqing forced himself to comprehend the realm, then stepped into the threshold of the Law of Wind, and finally broke through to the realm of Realm Master.

After a long time, Tang Yongqing finally recovered and held Shen Mu's hand tightly.

"You really scared me this time." Tang Yongqing's voice trembled a little.

Tang Yongqing recalled everything he had experienced in the illusion, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

Over the years, the biggest trouble Tang Yongqing had experienced was when he was harassed by a dandy disciple whose name he had forgotten before he met Shen Mu.

After that, Tang Yongqing had always been under Shen Mu's wing and was well protected, so she didn't know much about the evil nature of human nature.

This time, Shen Mu was very ruthless, which made Tang Yongqing feel a little stressed when he recalled the experience in the illusion.

"Okay, there won't be a next time."

Shen Mu looked at the somewhat stressed Tang Yongqing, regretting that he had been too harsh just now.

Humans are not plants or trees. Shen Mu and Tang Yongqing have been married for thousands of years. Although they have only been together for a short hundred years or so, it is impossible that they have no feelings for each other.

As he spoke, Shen Mu's voice carried a special power that completely calmed Tang Yongqing down.

After a moment, Tang Yongqing looked up at Shen Mu and broke free from Shen Mu's arms.

"You can't just let it go when you bully me like this..."

Tang Yongqing wanted to lose her temper, but she didn't know how to do it, and a conflicted look appeared on her face.

Shen Mu saw this and a sly smile appeared on his face.

A ring made of liquid silver appeared on the ring finger of her right hand.

hum!
Invisible spiritual power poured into the ring, and the faint patterns on it seemed to come alive, starting to rotate and ponder.

Tang Yongqing was slightly startled, and punched Shen Mu in shame and anger.

"You're bad."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "The will of a Realm Master is different."

As he spoke, Shen Mu picked up Tang Yongqing and his figure disappeared in mid-air.

In the prokaryotic world, above the quiet Tianchi Lake.

On the small boat, two figures appeared and disappeared, telling of the suppressed longing that had lasted for thousands of years.

……

Life on Earth was extremely comfortable, and Shen Mu also completely returned to his ordinary daily life.

Nowadays, he reads various books every day and then accompanies Tang Yongqing to travel around the world.

This time, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Mu did not choose to fly, but simply walked, like a stroll, intending to travel across the entire earth to feel the most ordinary life of the world.

In the first few months, Tang Yongqing enjoyed Shen Mu's company with peace of mind, thinking that this was compensation for Shen Mu's bullying of her.

But as time went on for more than a year, Tang Yongqing became a little worried.

He was afraid that because of his own reasons, he would hinder Shen Mu's progress in cultivation.

Shen Mu did not hide anything and directly told Tang Yongqing that he was also practicing his state of mind.

Now Shen Mu’s strength is stuck in a dilemma.

There are only three ways to become stronger: either break through to immortality, or create a higher level of secret techniques, or genetic evolution of the Yanshen clan.

There is no rush to break through to immortality, as there is still one clone spot that is not being used.

Shen Mu planned to stay in the realm of Realm Master for an era before breaking through.

There are still a few thousand years, enough time for Shen Mu to fully understand the eight lower-level original laws.

Creating a higher level of secret techniques is not something that can be done overnight, so just take your time.

As for the genetic evolution of the Yanshen Clan, one needs to improve one's state of mind and resist the side effects of the secret method of evolution.

After knowing that Shen Mu was not just killing time, Tang Yongqing finally felt relieved and accompanied Shen Mu to enjoy the fireworks of the world.

Time passed in this ordinary way, and more than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the years, Tang Yongqing had already broken through to the realm master level, and then evolved to the peak of the realm master level by soaking in the nutrient chamber.

In the illusion, Tang Yongqing was promoted to Realm Master, so naturally he would not be stuck at the peak of Domain Master level now.

In the end, it took Tang Yongqing more than ten years to fully understand the mystery of the threshold of the law.

On the top of the Himalayas, Shen Mu was guarding the entrance of a cave.

Inside the cave, Tang Yongqing has successfully condensed the first ray of world power and is now opening up his own inner world.

After confirming that Tang Yongqing had successfully broken through, Shen Mu looked into the distance.

"Over the past decade, I have vaguely felt that I have found the path to my own state of mind, but I have not been able to take that step."

As a time traveler, Shen Mu also knew that there was essentially no difference in the three levels of the state of mind.

It’s just that at the beginning, the blessing of the third level of mind on will is indeed higher than the previous two levels.

But as your experience increases, you will understand that the so-called three realms are three paths of the state of mind. There is no distinction between high and low, it just depends on who goes further.

Luo Feng in the original novel has always been in the first level of state of mind.

But Luo Feng walked his own path, his state of mind turned into a heavenly sword, cutting off all distracting thoughts, and the blessing on his will was only stronger than the third level of Hong's state of mind.

What Shen Mu pursued was not the third level of mind like Hong, but to find his own path like Luo Feng.

Time passed by little by little, Shen Mu half closed his eyes, examining his own heart, looking for flaws.

After a long time, Shen Mu's gaze fell on Tang Yongqing, who had completed the final breakthrough, and he seemed to understand clearly where the flaws in his state of mind lay.

In three reincarnations, Shen Mu has experienced a lot... but the only thing he has not experienced is being a parent.

call out!
Tang Yongqing's figure turned into a stream of light and appeared in front of Shen Mu.

"Xiao Shen, I made a breakthrough!"

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Sister, let's have a child."

"Ok?"

"Okay, okay!"

"But we are already world master-level warriors, so it must be difficult to have offspring."

"It's okay. There are treasures that can increase the chances of conceiving offspring. Not to mention the Realm Master, even an Immortal can have the hope of conceiving offspring."

The parents of Prince Manka, who fought against Shen Mu in the same genius competition as him, were a pair of powerful immortal kings.

As he spoke, Shen Mu's consciousness connected to the virtual universe treasure house, searching for treasures that could increase the chances of fertility.

The most precious treasure among them is worth more than one trillion points and is a special spiritual fruit.

As long as you take it, even if you are immortal you will be able to give birth to offspring, and it can also improve the innate qualifications of your offspring to a certain extent. However, it is only effective for the first time you take it.
