Chapter 153 Self-Created Fifth-Level Soul Secret Technique
Zuo Shanke's original plan was to create a secret technique of will for Shen Mu.

You should know that the most powerful means of the hermit, besides refining treasures, is the secret art of will.

However, after thinking about it, the hermit gave up the idea.

Now that his third disciple already possesses the ability to attack with his will, even if he creates a secret technique of will for him, it will not have much impact on his strength.

In this case, it would be better to let this little disciple figure it out on his own, perhaps he will achieve greater success in the future.

……

In the small universe, Shen Mu sat in front of the palace, with pure virtual divine power surging around him, faintly forming nine vague outlines of life.

Some are shaped like dragons and snakes, some are shaped like lions and tigers, some are shaped like giant fish, and some are strange and bizarre, like Cthulhu in the stories of the earth.

As time passed, the vague outlines of life gradually became clear, and some special patterns vaguely emerged on the body.

With the emergence of these secret patterns, a natural and powerful pressure was formed, just like the eight first-generation beast gods.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years... Shen Mu was completely immersed in it. The shadows of the nine special lives became clearer and clearer, and suddenly dissipated before they could completely solidify.

Shen Mu also came back to his senses from his contemplation, and the image of these nine special creatures displaying their divine power still appeared in his mind.

"These are... nine special lives with powerful soul talents?"

At this time, Shen Mu was able to confirm that these nine sets of secret patterns were not some kind of secret method, but the natural secret patterns on the nine special creatures copied by Teacher Zuo Shanke.

"Child, some things are restricted by rules, and I, the teacher, cannot explain them clearly."

"I will maintain the time flow rate of the small universe at ten thousand times the speed for 10 years. As for whether you can realize something, it depends on your luck."

In a small universe, time flows at a speed of ten thousand times that of a traditional universe, where one hundred thousand years is exactly one billion years in the outside world.

Zuo Shanke knew about Shen Mu's level of comprehension, but he still gave Shen Mu a full 10 billion years. This shows how difficult it is to comprehend this level of comprehension.

"A billion years?"

Shen Mu was a little surprised. Such a long time was probably not for him to create secret methods, but for him to comprehend higher-level mysteries.

"These secret patterns contain the attainments of the laws, that is, the complete two higher laws, and even the ten fundamental laws are not fully included."

"Perhaps... these secret patterns contain mysteries that transcend the laws."

As a time traveler, Shen Mu is definitely not a fool. Since Zuo Shanke has given him so much time to love, it must be to let him comprehend something more profound.

Shen Mu thought about it and thought that the only thing that he might not be able to understand even in a billion years might be the mystery of the origin that transcends the mysteries of the laws.

"If it is really the origin of the mystery, then it is too advanced."

"With my current state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to comprehend the true secrets."

Shen Mu once again immersed himself in these nine special secret patterns. He studied and comprehended them carefully, but he still only realized the basic application of the laws of time and space.

"If you can't find a clue, you can try the dumbest method."

A spiritual light flashed in Shen Mu's right palm, and a palm-sized piece of Star Tear Gold emerged.

Shen Mu is not short of Star Tear Gold now. He previously suppressed the invincible Star Tear King, the king of the Mechanical Clan, and completely erased his life mark. His divine body returned to its origin and turned into the original Star Tear Gold.

hum!
Shen Mu's palm shone with divine light, which then condensed into a brilliant divine carving knife, and began to carve the image of the special life that he had shrunk.

But in just a moment, the statue began to take shape.

Then Shen Mu recalled the scene he had seen and began to carve scales and secret patterns.

boom!
As time passed, the dragon and snake life statue in Shen Mu's hand gradually solidified, and a special pressure swept over, similar to the pressure of a natural beast god, which not only acted on the outside world, but also on the soul.

During this process, Shen Mu immersed himself in it wholeheartedly, carefully noticing how that special pressure began to appear and formed as those secret patterns changed.

If you don’t have any insights the first time you carve, then try ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times.

As Shen Mu immersed himself in it again, time began to pass quickly.

……

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years passed in the primitive universe.

At this time, on the highest floor of the Star Tower, in the majestic hall.

"Ho ho..."

Luo Feng's body was shaking, he made unconscious sounds, and blood kept flowing out.

"How can it be... so difficult!"

Luo Feng was shaking unconsciously and making hoarse sounds, his expression was distorted, and his skin was torn, looking even more miserable than many of the dead.

At this moment he felt that his soul was burning violently.

Thousands of years ago, his will had already transformed once, and he had stepped into the realm of the Lord of the Universe.

After thousands of years of severe pain in his soul, he once again reached his limit, but was unable to continue with his will undergoing a second transformation.

In front of Luo Feng, the figure of the giant snake man Puti emerged, looked at Luo Feng and sighed.

"Give it up, kid."

"You have persisted for more than six thousand years. Even I didn't expect it would be so difficult to recognize the Star Tower as your master."

"Your senior brother Shen Mu, who is also my third junior brother, has suppressed a Lord of the Universe some time ago. With his status, it is not difficult for him to ask the Lord of the Universe to resurrect you."

"If it doesn't work, I will resurrect you myself."

Luo Feng was almost unable to think at this time. He raised his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with blood and tears.

"Suppressing the Lord of the Universe, so powerful..."

Luo Feng made an indistinguishable sound, perhaps only he knew what he was saying.

Yes!

Senior brother has always been so dazzling and so powerful.

I don’t know when it started, but Luo Feng had an inexplicable sense of security.

As long as my senior brother is here, there is no need to worry, everything will be solved.

In this way, Luo Feng watched Shen Mu rise step by step, and move towards the most dazzling position step by step.

"Maybe even if I die, it won't have any impact on the people on Earth."

"Even if I can't be resurrected, Senior Brother will definitely help me take care of my family."

Luo Feng began to recall his experiences over the years, and finally remembered Shen Mu, who always stood in front of them brothers.

"But! I won't give up!"

"This may be my only chance in this life. If I can't worship that powerful person as my master, I may never be able to stand beside my senior brother in the future!"

"Even if it means death, how can I give up!"

"Either you kill me in pain, or you submit to me!"

At this moment, Luo Feng's mentality changed again.

If Luo Feng's character before was like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath, now he is like a long sword unsheathed without any worries, ignoring life and death.

Even if my head and limbs are broken, I will still draw my sword!

The appearance of Shen Mu meant that Luo Feng had never experienced a true life-and-death crisis since the planetary level. Although his state of mind had improved, he had lost something.

And now, with the recognition of the Star Tower as his master, Luo Feng's potential has been stimulated once again.

All we can say is that Luo Feng is always Luo Feng. In the original novel, no matter it is the golden-horned beast, the Star Tower, or the final battle with the strongest beast in the world, he is always on the verge of life and death, bursting out with unparalleled potential.

……

Boom! Boom!

Inside the Star Tower, the thousands of forbidden spaces seemed to be shaken by a giant and were shaking violently.

In the outside world, the nine-light-year-tall Star Tower was shaking slightly.

"what happened?"

"Why is the forbidden space vibrating?"

In the universe, in the North China Snow Mist Region, the hermit who was refining a treasure for Shen Mu suddenly realized that the weak connection between him and the Star Tower was completely severed.

“This little guy actually succeeded!”

"Good good."

"It seems that this little fellow also has the ability to learn the supreme secret technique. It all depends on who will succeed in the end!"

A smile appeared on the hermit's face.

He had thought that after reincarnating again and again in this universe and going through a long period of reincarnation, he would eventually be able to train a good enough disciple.

But what was unexpected was that in just one reincarnation era, two peerless geniuses appeared who had the hope of mastering the supreme secret art!

"Luo Feng has successfully recognized the Star Tower as his master. I wonder how the other little guy is doing."

The hermit's mind moved, and his consciousness descended into his own small universe.

Thousands of years have passed in the outside world, and more than 40 million years have passed in Zuo Shanke's small universe!

More than 40 million years is an extremely long time for Shen Mu.

More than ten million years ago, Shen Mu had stopped copying the statues of the nine special life forms and began to sit cross-legged, as if he was comprehending something.

"I think I have found a clue, but I don't know when I can really understand the secrets."

The hermit could tell what state Shen Mu was in at a glance.

"It depends on his own luck. Now go and take a look at my little disciple."

The hermit still had to refine a treasure for Shen Mu, so he separated an incarnation of his divine power and went to meet Luo Feng.

……

In the Star Tower, Luo Feng, who successfully recognized the Star Tower as his master and then became the apprentice of Zuo Shan Ke, was in high spirits.

During these thousands of years, in addition to recognizing the Star Tower as his master, Luo Feng's attainments in the laws of nature also advanced by leaps and bounds, and he successfully comprehended the mystery of teleportation.

After completing his apprenticeship, Luo Feng immediately entered the virtual universe to report his safety to his family.

In the virtual universe, in Qianwu Continent, in the Guangyuan Community Manor.

"What, something happened to my brother?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

When Luo Feng heard what Xu Xin said, he didn't believe it at all.

He had just learned from Puti not long ago that Shen Mu had successfully suppressed the Lord of the Universe and was now practicing in the small universe of Zuo Shanke.

Xu Xin shook her head slightly and said, "Feng, you will know when you return to Earth."

"More than a thousand years ago, Senior Brother Shen Mu suddenly fell into a deep sleep, and a powerful pressure emanated from his body. At that time, all life within the entire solar system fell into a coma."

"Fortunately, the strong men of the tribe discovered Senior Brother Shen Mu's abnormality immediately, and then a great master of the universe came in person to take Senior Brother away."

"It was through the Lord of the Universe that we learned what happened."

Luo Feng looked a little doubtful and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go see the teacher."

Xu Xin nodded quietly.

Then Luo Feng landed directly on Thunder Island and appeared in the palace of the Lord of Chaos City.

Deep in the palace, endless chaotic mist surged.

"teacher!"

Luo Feng bowed towards the depths of the chaotic airflow.

"It seems that you have made considerable progress in these thousands of years."

The figure of the Chaos City Lord emerged from the endless airflow, and he immediately noticed that the mark recognized by the law of space between Luo Feng's eyebrows had changed.

Previously, the mark was just a virtual star, representing the basic changes behind the understanding of some kind of teleportation mystery.

Now, the mark has turned into bright stars, interweaving into a trajectory, emitting strong fluctuations of laws.

Luo Feng asked directly: "Teacher, I heard that Senior Brother Shen Mu is in trouble?"

The Chaos City Lord nodded with a gloomy expression: "Your senior brother's Yanshen clan clone disappeared, and then the other clones fell into a deep sleep a thousand years ago, and suddenly an inexplicable pressure erupted from his body."

"Fortunately, Shen Mu did not have any ill intentions, otherwise everyone in the entire solar system would have their souls collapsed and died."

Hearing this, Luo Feng immediately realized that it seemed that the tribe didn't know about Teacher Zuo Shanke yet.

I guess the tribe doesn't know as much as he does.

I have to ask Mr. Zuoshanke about this matter.

After paying his respects to the Lord of Chaos City, Luo Feng went to report his safety to King Zhen Yan, and then his consciousness left the virtual universe.

Inside the main hall of the Star Tower.

Luo Feng quickly looked at the Lord of Puti beside him: "Big Brother, is Senior Brother Shen Mu okay?"

Then Luo Feng informed Puti that all of Shen Mu's other clones had fallen into a deep sleep.

Puti laughed and said, "Don't worry, my divine incarnation is right beside Third Junior Brother. Third Junior Brother is now in a state of enlightenment and is fully devoted to cultivation. The other avatars will naturally fall into a deep sleep."

Hearing this, Luo Feng finally felt relieved.

"I'm glad you're okay, Senior Brother, can I go see Senior Brother Shen Mu?"

"That's not necessary. Your will has not yet reached the level of the Lord of the Universe. You can't get close to Third Junior Brother at all. You will faint even if you just look at him."

Puti patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and said, "If Third Junior Brother can understand some of the secrets this time, he may be able to truly rival the Lord of the Universe. You should think more about how to improve your own strength."

Hearing this, Luo Feng nodded slightly, looking into the distance with an extremely determined gaze!
……

The stars move and time passes.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed. Now, there are two most hotly debated issues in the virtual network.

One of the things that ordinary people in the tribe are most concerned about is that a new round of genius competition has begun again.

Since the end of Shen Mu's genius competition, the Giant Axe Fighting Arena and the Virtual Universe Company have each held a genius competition.

Every time the Genius Competition was held, someone would always mention Shen Mu's class. There was no other reason, it was just that class was too dazzling.

Another hot topic was widely spread among the immortal strongmen of the tribe.

The super immortal Daohe King who had fought 62 battles in the Ancestral God Sect not long ago, turned out to be Luo Feng, the young disciple of the Lord of Chaos City, and he was only a Realm Lord!
In just over ten thousand years, the human race has produced three incredibly talented world master-level geniuses in succession.

Among them, King Daohe and King Yinsha both possessed invincible combat power at the realm of Realm Lord, and Shen Mu even crossed the immortal realm in one fell swoop, comprehended the superior laws and became the Venerable of the Universe!
All of a sudden, billions of races in the universe turned their eyes to humans, speculating whether humans were about to usher in a golden age where geniuses would emerge in large numbers!

Thousands of years passed in the original universe, while Shen Mu spent more than 80 million years in Zuo Shanke's small universe.

……

Boom!

Above the majestic sacred mountain, a terrifying pressure swept out.

A bright sun seemed to appear on the top of the mountain, which was the purest light of the soul.

"I used the comprehension of the laws of the peak universe overlord to cross a great realm and create a fifth-level secret method. If I spread it out, I guess no one would believe it."

The endless and brilliant soul light intertwined to form a gigantic humanoid shadow with a thousand hands and nine heads, emanating a terrifying aura of oppression.

"I created this secret method after comprehending the nine special lives, so let's name it "Nine Spirits"."

After more than 80 million years, Shen Mu finally gained insight into the mystery of transcending the laws from the most simple and basic original laws.

That is the so-called mystery of the origin of the soul, the most fundamental truth of the evolution of the universe.

However, with Shen Mu's current realm, although the essence of his soul is comparable to that of a universe overlord, it is impossible for him to realize the mystery of this transcendent law in just over 8,000 epochs.

But there is no need to fully comprehend it. Just by touching the threshold of the mysterious origin, the power of Shen Mu's secret technique has increased dramatically, thus creating this fifth-level secret technique!
With Shen Mu's current realm, using the fifth-level secret technique certainly cannot unleash the combat power of a true fifth-level lord of the universe, but it also greatly increases Shen Mu's strength.

Shen Mu's Yanshen clan clone is only one level away from the Lord of the Universe in terms of divine body level (10 times).

But with the blessing of this fifth-level secret technique, Shen Mu is able to instantly unleash a soul attack that is no weaker than that of a third-level lord of the universe.
