Chapter 247: Fantasy Road

Inside the temple is a special little world, with some white jade tables placed on them, and on the tables there are scrolls of unknown material.

Corresponding avenue fluctuations are emanating from each scroll, faintly connected with the regular arcs of this world, forming various strange visions.

"It's quite a collection." Shen Mu sighed in his heart.

The number of God Realm Venerables in this world far exceeds the number of God Kings in the Origin Continent. If we include the God Realm Venerables who have fallen in the past years, the number will be impossible to count.

Therefore, the God-King level methods are not very precious in this world.

Not to mention an ancient family like the Chiwu clan, even a family like the Liyang clan that once produced a divine master has the inheritance of the five great divine kings of the 'Liyang Five Veins'.

Shen Mu glanced over and saw that there were about two hundred scrolls here, and each scroll should represent a method to reach the realm of God King.

I just don't know which one is stronger compared to the highest inheritance of Xuji Sect.

Shen Mu raised his hand gently, a soft invisible force spread out, and a scroll slowly unfolded.

"Wow!"

A fierce bird cry sounded, and hot waves spread out, and the temperature inside the entire temple soared exponentially.

A shadow was projected, and under the boundless sky, a fiery red demon god was wandering, emitting infinite flames all over his body, carrying the momentum to burn the sky, overlooking everything.

"The innate magic of the demon god Fire Skylark corresponds to the scorching branch of the fire realm."

This is also a heritage of the Great Way of Fire, and a bloodline technique of a God King-level life.

The demon gods in this world, after being promoted to this realm, their own bloodlines will also undergo a transformation, and their bloodline magical powers will also undergo a second change.

The inherited magic of this demon god is called Fire Cloud Flame, which once burned three venerable gods to death. Later, he was killed by an ancestor in the history of the Chiwu clan.

According to records, this happened more than 200 million years ago. At that time, the Chiwu clan was still relatively prosperous and had not fallen to the point of living in a small corner in the northwest.

"More than two hundred inheritances...more than half of them are about the Great Dao of Fire."

Shen Mu shook his head slightly, and continued to feel the fluctuations emanating from these inheritances. "The Great Way of Fire, the Great Way of Light, the Great Way of the Sun... Hmm? This is a pure fluctuation of will!"

Shen Mu felt the fluctuations emanating from the scrolls of inheritance, and finally his eyes fell on three scrolls emitting fluctuations of will.

Although the gods in this world are not weak, they have not developed any secret techniques to use their will.

At least from what Shen Mu had seen and heard, he had never heard of any ability similar to will shock. Most of them were pure illusions or soul attacks.

Shen Mu first picked up the scroll of pure will secret art and slowly unfolded it.

The content recorded above is indeed very rough, and is just some simple methods of using will.

For Shen Mu, who had already seen the art of Lie Yuan and had profound attainments in the use of will, he really looked down upon it.

He gently put down the scroll, shook his head, and sighed in his heart: "Such a crude will secret technique is about the same as the heart thunder secret technique of the natural beast god."

Then, Shen Mu picked up the scroll of soul-related secret techniques.

This is a secret method of soul defense called "Incarnation of All Spirits".

“There are some wonderful things that you can learn a lot from if you study them a little bit.”

"But... that's it."

This soul-related secret art can only be barely considered a God-King-level method. It does not have a complete branch of the avenue. One needs to comprehend four branches of the avenue, including thinking and spirituality, in order to fully master it.

The actual effect is also not weak. Being able to split one's own soul is a good way to save one's life for most gods.

But Shen Mu didn't think much of it.

“I hope this final part of the inheritance won’t let me down.”

The three scrolls of inheritance related to the soul emit waves of different strengths.

The worst thing is the use of secret techniques with the will, which only emits some shallow fluctuations of will.

The most profound one is this last scroll, which has a very strong illusion and movement, and the surrounding operating rules have been "deceived" in some way.

hum!
The mystical scroll slowly opened.

As soon as it was opened, a powerful wave of the avenue came towards him.

"Illusionary Dream Heart Sutra... this is a good name."

Shen Mu's gaze fell on the main text of the inheritance.

"The complete three meridians of the Illusionary Dao?"

"It turns out to be a legacy of the Heavenly Venerable Realm, that is, the second level of the Divine King Realm."

Shen Mu was slightly surprised.

Because he had sensed that among the more than 200 scrolls that the Chiwu clan had preserved, the highest level ones were the inheritance of the second level of the God King realm, and they were all the inheritance of the Great Way of Fire.

As for the inheritance of the Ultimate Divine King, there is none. Although the Chiwu clan is also an ancient family, after all, the inheritance was cut off once, and it is already good enough to rise again.

“I didn’t expect that this Illusionary Dream Heart Sutra, which doesn’t have a very strong rhyme, is actually a legacy of the second level of the One-Step Divine King.”

The Heart Sutra of Illusion and Dream includes the three major branches of the Way of Illusion, namely the world of illusion, hallucination, and practicing to make the false become true.

Among them, this lineage of illusion world is based on the direction of the illusion evolution field.

This illusion realm is not a simple illusion realm, but an ability to distort the five senses. It is one of the basic branches of the illusion path.

The psychedelic lineage is actually the psychedelic avenue that Shen Mu had previously comprehended, and it is a branch of the ultimate path of illusion.

The specific effect is to make Shen Mu's illusion become more powerful. As Shen Mu's understanding becomes deeper, his own illusion becomes more real, his illusion ability becomes stronger, and it becomes more difficult to break free.

These two paths are both basic branches of the illusion path. No matter which source world the illusion path is from, it contains these two branches.

What surprised Shen Mu the most was the next branch, 'Practice to Make the Fake Real'.

Because in the illusionary path of the origin continent, there are only seven branches, and there is no branch called "Practicing the false to become true". There is only a similar branch, which is "Turning the real into the virtual".

In this world, there are a total of sixteen meridians in the Ultimate Illusionary Path, including the seven meridians of the Illusionary Path of the Origin Continent.

Therefore, "Practicing the false to become true" and "Turning reality into illusion" are listed as the two most powerful branches in the ultimate illusion path of this world in terms of increasing combat power.

Practice makes the fake become real, as the name suggests, it can make unreal things become real.

The damage inflicted on the enemy in the illusion is reflected in the real world.

Imagine that when an enemy is stabbed by a sword in a fantasy world, they will feel the same pain and damage in the real world, and it may even be more serious than in the fantasy world.

'Turning the virtual into the real' is just the opposite of 'practicing the fake to make it real'. Although it seems to be a similar ability, the fundamental principles are actually different.

There is no need to explain this ability in detail. It is to turn the real damage suffered by oneself into a false one, as if it were a dream, and when one wakes up, he or she will not have suffered any damage at all.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect there would be a pleasant surprise."

"Master this inheritance first, and then try to integrate the secrets of the Dream Heart Sutra into my own Supreme Heart Tribulation."

Since he was young, when Shen Mu was comprehending the secret method, he pursued the idea that those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die.

Once you have mastered any secret technique, you should analyze it as thoroughly as possible, and then integrate the true secret of the secret technique into your own secret technique.

Today is no exception.

Speaking of which, Shen Mu's Supreme Heart Tribulation has been improved bit by bit for a long time since it was created, without any large-scale changes.

Perhaps this time, it is an opportunity for the supreme heart calamity to transform.

As Shen Mu immersed himself in studying the contents of "The Heart Sutra of Illusionary Dreams", strands of illusory fluctuations spread out.

Gradually, the sound of sacred chanting could be faintly heard in the temple.

As time passed, the ethereal sound of chanting became clearer and even could be heard outside the temple.

Outside the temple, the expressions of the two old servants of the royal family who were guarding the place changed slightly.

"Seventh Brother, did you hear any chanting?" An old servant with gray hair looked at his companion beside him. The companion called Seventh Brother was also an old man, but he looked a little younger.

"The sound of chanting? Is that true? You must have heard it wrong, brother."

Lao Qi asked back in confusion, looking around vigilantly.

"Did I hear it wrong?" The second brother looked at the temple gate behind him uncertainly.

The door was still closed, but the sound of chanting seemed to come from inside the temple.

In fact, it was not that he heard it wrong, but his understanding was higher and he sensed the rhythm of Shen Mu's illusion.

For him, this may be a great opportunity.

……

In the blink of an eye, nearly three years have passed.

For ordinary people in this world who can easily live for thousands of years, three years is not a long time.

Especially for the masters in the divine realm, it would take more than three years to gain a little understanding.

Boom!

On this day, the gate of the temple roared, and the countless red crow carvings and secret patterns engraved on it lit up with brilliant red clouds.

call out!
The dazzling red clouds rose into the sky, dyeing half of the sky a bright red.

The Dian Temple is an important royal place, and strange phenomena will occur every time it is opened. Therefore, countless people in the Chiwu royal family know that Shen Mu has come out of seclusion!

"Thank you for your hard work, both of you."

Shen Mu, dressed in white, seemed to appear out of thin air and whispered his thanks to the two old royal servants outside the gate.

The two of them hurriedly said, "This is my duty, I dare not take credit for it."

"Your Excellency, the ancestor once said that after you come out of retreat, you will be invited to the ancestral tower to have a chat."

Shen Mu nodded slightly: "But is there something important happening?"

Upon hearing this, the two old servants naturally did not dare to hide it.

"It is like this. The inauguration ceremony of the Venerable Lord will invite the Venerables from many surrounding dynasties to come and watch the ceremony. Even the imperial country will send the Lords of the Divine Realm as envoys."

“I’m afraid there are dozens of venerables gathered in the imperial capital today.”

Shen Muyao looked in the direction of the imperial city and chuckled, "What do you mean by dozens of people? It's obviously over a hundred."

"Does the ceremonies for the Protector of the Nation in other countries also have so many people watching?"

In response to Shen Mu's inquiry, one of them quickly said, "Under normal circumstances, this would not happen. I have heard from the Fourth Prince that the gods of all nations are here to admire your legendary God of War, and that is why there is such a big commotion."

Soon, inside the ancestral tower.

"Senior Yan!" Shen Mu looked at the old man.

Only three years had passed, and when Shen Mu saw the old man again, he could sense that the weak vitality in the other person suddenly became stronger.

But this blazing vitality is only the exterior of gold and jade, while the inside is already filled with rotten rags.

It seems that he used some special secret method to bluff. If Shen Mu had not comprehended the various meridians of the Way of Life, he might not have been able to see through it.

Chi Wuyan said solemnly: "Master Mu, the masters from various countries are here to test us."

"Testing?"

Chi Wuyan nodded slightly: "There is a banquet tonight, and the venerables from all countries will attend. They want to see you who have just come out of seclusion."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, his eyes full of soul and light: "Don't worry, Senior Yan, I know what to do."

……

That night, deep in the imperial palace, in the magnificent ancient hall.

This most solemn hall was filled with extremely intense aura.

For a moment, the operating rules of the entire Chiwu Imperial Capital were disturbed and various strange phenomena occurred, and all kinds of perfect moods in the sky were secretly clashing.

As Shen Mu and Chi Wuyan arrived at the banquet hall, the eyes of the venerables from various countries were focused on them.

"That young man... is the so-called legendary God of War, right?"

“It doesn’t seem to be any different.”

"Haha, someone will try it."

The venerables from various countries, those on good terms with each other, were communicating with each other, and all their eyes were on Shen Mu.

Boom!

Suddenly, a vast feeling of fulfillment blossomed.

In the sky above the imperial capital, a field of boundless stars and a field of murderous swords appeared at the same time.

In the crowd, the patriots of the Tianyue Dynasty and the Xingyao Dynasty stood up at the same time, without hiding their powerful artistic conception at all.

The sharp sword intent seemed to be able to cut off everything, and the bright starlight seemed to fall from the sky.

The gazes of many venerables fell in shock on the two venerable protectors of the Tianyue Dynasty and the Xingyao Dynasty.

"The Protectors of the Xingyao and Tianyue Dynasties are too bold. They actually took action in such an occasion. Are they planning to break off relations?"

"However, this is also a good opportunity to see how powerful this newly-risen Master Shen is."

Many venerables communicated with each other through voice transmission and began to eat melons one by one.

"Humph, Xingyao and Tianyue Dynasty have always been eyeing Chiwu Kingdom covetously. This time, I'm afraid they have ulterior motives in their attempts."

"But if this Lord Shen is really capable, he might be able to make this situation more interesting."

Chi Wuyan's expression changed slightly: "Although Venerable Shen Mu is powerful, he also relies on the power of his bloodline and has not realized the true state of perfection."

"It seems that my old bones need to move a little bit."

Chi Wuyan was about to pay the price and choose to fight back, but Shen Mu's voice rang out.

"Everyone... please take your seats."

Shen Mu's voice seemed to stir the souls of everyone present, as if the demon from outer space was whispering in their hearts.

Everyone present saw an endless illusion at this moment. A giant god with a thousand hands and eyes appeared between heaven and earth, with stars above his head and the earth under his feet. All things seemed insignificant in front of him.

At this moment, the two venerables who had made the tentative move stood where they were with stiff faces, their eyes filled with endless shock and reverence, trapped in the illusion and unable to extricate themselves.

"How is it possible that they could counterattack those two old guys from Xingyao and Tianyue Dynasty in an instant."

"This sound illusion technique... is too terrifying." Another venerable murmured to himself.

"It's actually the Way of Illusion. Apart from the Immortal Palace, there doesn't seem to be any inheritance of the Way of Illusion in my Northwest Continent."

"What is the origin of this legendary God of War?"

A venerable stared with eyes wide open, shocked: "Could it be true that it came from the mysterious Eastern Divine Dynasty as the rumors say?"

There was silence in the magnificent hall. Everyone looked at Shen Mu, and they were all quiet.

A feeling of oppression emerged in the hearts of the venerables of various countries.

At this time, the leader of the Guheng Dynasty spoke first, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

"Venerable Shen is worthy of being the legendary God of War, and his strength is extraordinary. I am Gu Yun, the fourth worshiper of the Guheng Dynasty Worship Hall. I have heard of Venerable Shen's name for a long time. It is an honor to meet him today. I wonder where Venerable Shen is from?"
