Chapter 250: The Choice of the Divine King Realm's Main Weapon
Shen Mu half-closed his eyes, sensing his true self at the end of the endless Hunyuan space.

"Time passes slowly in this world, but the ocean of the universe seems frozen. Billions of years pass in this world, but perhaps not even a single moment passes in the ocean of the universe."

Shen Mu is now almost certain that his coming to this world is not a coincidence.

"Congratulations, Master Mu, for achieving the divine realm and becoming an immortal body!"

Generally speaking, creatures in the Chaos Realm of this world can only live for one epoch, but if they achieve the realm of God King, they can live for ten thousand epochs.

If thousands of years have passed without any further progress, then the only choice is to fall asleep, or else there will be destruction.

There may be treasures that can prolong the lifespan of the creatures in this world, but such treasures are usually controlled by those high and mighty hidden sects, and the cultivators in the mortal world are not qualified to use them.

At this time, Shen Mu looked at the old and decrepit master of the divine realm again.

"The universe inside the body... is almost completely destroyed." Shen Mu could tell Chi Wuyan's current condition at a glance.

Unlike before, this time the ancestral tower was activated, completely exhausting the little vitality of Chiwuyan.

As a divine being, a life at the ultimate level, his entire body now exudes an aura of decay and decline.

The reason why Chi Wuyan could still remain conscious at this time was because his own origin was integrated with the ancestral tower. Once he left the ancestral tower, he would die immediately.

Even if he stayed in the ancestral tower forever, this old venerable might not be able to hold on for much longer.

"This time, I have to accept the cause and effect of Mr. Yan."

Shen Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Next, I will select an outstanding junior from the royal family, take him in as my disciple, and train him wholeheartedly. This will also be regarded as the cause and effect of Mr. Yan helping me achieve enlightenment."

Chi Wuyan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Shen Mu to attach so much importance to the so-called cause and effect.

After a slight hesitation, Chi Wuyan bowed slightly to Shen Mu and said, "I should have died anyway. I don't care about cause and effect."

"If Master Mu does not forsake us, I, Chiwu clan, am willing to offer a concubine, and only ask that you leave a trace of your bloodline behind."

Unlike the Origin Continent, as a world that mainly cultivates the bloodline system, it is very normal for the major ethnic groups in this world to leave bloodlines to each other.

Almost every venerable god in the divine realm has thousands of descendants.

The offspring here only refer to children, and do not include the many descendants who subsequently reproduce.

Seeing Shen Mu lost in thought, Chi Wuyan thought for a moment and said, "Your bloodline is strong, I don't think it will be easy to leave descendants."

"But our clan's ancestral tower is also a treasure. If the Venerable is willing to unite with my Chiwu clan, both the throne of the Chiwu Dynasty and this ancestral tower will belong to that child."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu's gaze fell on the ancestral tower. His eyes were deep and no emotion could be seen.

After a moment, Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's follow Mr. Yan's arrangements."

After all, pursuing the great way and transcendence are Shen Mu’s goals.

The ancestral tower of the Chiwu clan contains many divine king-level inheritance methods, which can only be activated by a god with the blood of the Chiwu clan.

Rather than cultivating a member of the Chiwu clan whose true spiritual bloodline is dried up, it is better to cultivate one's own descendants so that they can make better use of the inheritance in the ancestral tower in the future.

"Good, good, good! Master Mu, rest assured, I will definitely select a woman from the royal family who has excellent appearance, character, and talent."

A wisp of Chiwu Yan's spiritual thought spread out and directly informed the leader of Chiwu State, telling him that this matter must be taken seriously.

Since the Chiwu clan established their country here, they have multiplied for countless generations.

In addition to the many clansmen on the clan list, there are more than 10 billion clansmen living on this land. It should not be difficult to select clansmen who can catch Shen Mu's eyes.

At this time, Shen Mu's attention was focused again on the ancestral tower of the Chiwu clan.

"Mr. Yan, the nobles' ancestral tower is divided into nine floors. How are the methods and inheritances divided?"

In response to Shen Mu's questioning, Chi Wuyan did not hide anything.

“Most of these first-level methods are at the level of a beginner Venerable, and only contain a state of mind of the Great Dao.”

“When it comes to the second level, it is the inheritance method of the old masters that has multiple great realms of meaning, which complement each other and greatly increase the power.”

“However, in my current state, it is difficult for me to manifest the first level of the inheritance method.”

Having said that, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Chi Wuyan's face.

It was difficult for him to send a message to the tribesmen outside the ancestral tower. Even his own clear mind could not be maintained for long.

Before long, he himself will be like the gods in the history of the Chiwu clan and will integrate everything about himself into this ancient ancestral tower.

After sighing, Chi Wuyan continued to look at Shen Mu and said, "The third-level method contains at least three kinds of great realms, which is the method of the peak of the Venerable."

"It's just that they haven't merged into one, the three flowers have not gathered at the top of the head. Even if you comprehend the four or five great Dao realms, there will be no transformation."

“Only when the three realms of mind are combined into one can one leave one’s own Dao mark on the Heavenly Dao, achieve the Heavenly Dao realm of mind, and become a Heavenly Lord.”

At this point, Chi Wuyan shook his head and said, "I don't know about the fourth level or even higher levels."

"My comprehension is not comparable to that of Master Mu. When I was at my peak, I only made it to the third floor of the ancestral tower, which was a disgrace to the treasure left by my ancestors."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, and then asked: "Mr. Yan, do the nobles still have the inherited method of refining treasures like the ancestral tower?"

Refining the ancestral tower?

Chi Wuyan was slightly startled, and could not help but say: "Master Mu really thinks highly of my Chi Wu clan. It is not easy for such a treasure to be passed down until now. As for the method of refining... I have never even heard of it."

To be honest, this ancestral tower is quite evil.

It will completely devour the creatures in the sealed town, and then forge itself.

This reminded Shen Mu of a famous treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

No matter which world it is, there are legends about treasures like the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

By smelting countless souls and forging an evil treasure, its power will naturally become greater and greater as more souls, living souls, etc. are smelted.

Although it is an evil treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is indeed very suitable for Shen Mu, who is comprehending the great way of the soul.

Seeing Shen Mu begin to ponder, Chi Wuyan asked, "Does the Venerable want to refine a treasure?"

"My Chiwu clan has accumulated a lot of treasures over the years, including two precious heavenly materials that are enough to refine the Heavenly Supreme Treasure."

There is no shortage of all kinds of natural treasures in this world. Any piece of soil dug from the ground and placed on the Origin Continent can be used as material for refining holy-level secret treasures.

In addition, the development of treasure refining in this world is indeed insufficient.

Therefore, the so-called materials for refining the Heavenly Supreme Treasure, when placed on the Origin Continent, are the materials for refining that ultimate treasure.

"I do have this idea. I only have the Life and Death Divine Spear now. It is just an ordinary divine weapon. It carries my understanding of the two realms of life and destruction. It is not a soul treasure."

As Shen Mu spoke, he had already given up the idea of ​​using the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as his main weapon.

The main reason is that refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner is too outrageous. If you want to have enough power, you have to melt the souls of countless living beings.

Shen Mu claims that he is not a saint, but he is not a bloodthirsty person either.

It's not impossible to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but forget about killing innocent people on a large scale. Just use it as a weapon to melt the souls and spirits of the enemies. Besides... this world is probably a man-made world. If I really kill on a large scale, it is not impossible that the big boss behind the scenes will kill me.

"Perhaps... I can use my spiritual power to refine treasures."

Spiritual thinking is the wisdom and understanding of the soul, not a real substance or energy.

However, after Shen Mu fully understood the branches of thinking spirituality, he was able to use thinking spirituality to refine treasures.

There are intelligent life and non-intelligent life in any world. The difference lies in whether there is thinking spirituality or not.

Even the mechanical race and the skeleton race in the cosmic sea, although they do not have complete souls, they have spiritual thinking.

Therefore, the degree of extracting the thoughts and spirituality of all living beings is not much better than directly using their souls to refine treasures.

"If I extract the thoughts and spirituality of all living beings, I will suffer the consequences."

"But if sentient beings owe me karma, and I repay them with my thoughts and spirits, then it is a cycle of cause and effect."

There was a gleam of divine light in Shen Mu's eyes, and he began to think about the feasibility of this plan.

Making all living beings owe you karma is nothing more than bestowing upon them precious things.

This precious thing can be any treasure, including some top-level skills created by Shen Mu.

"If I simply create some top-notch inheritance, but no one can learn it, it won't work either."

“Some superficial methods, even if they are spread to all living beings, are not enough to repay with spiritual thinking.”

As the level of life evolution increases, Shen Mu's style of doing things becomes more cautious.

After all, I can now confirm that I am being targeted by some big guys, so it is normal to act cautiously.

"So... I will develop a secret technique that does not require comprehension. Once you obtain this secret technique, you can practice it directly, similar to the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex."

"Understanding is the root of everything. In this case, the effect of my secret technique is to strengthen the spirituality of thinking and greatly improve wisdom."

It is not too difficult to develop a similar method. Anyone who has fully understood the spiritual branch of the soul can do it.

Of course, the path of the soul is mysterious, and any branch of it is extremely difficult to comprehend, let alone the spiritual branch of thinking that is the basis of everything.

Anyway, in the inheritance of Xuji Sect, among the powerful people of all generations, no one has ever heard of anyone who achieved the status of God King through the great way of the soul.

Yes, no one in the entire Origin Continent has ever heard of it.

Maybe someone has done it, but the powerful people of Xuji Sect don't know about it.

"I can create such a secret technique now."

"But even if it is created, it is very difficult to learn. After all, there are too few people who walk the path of the soul."

"So the key point is to lower the threshold, and it would be best if you don't have any understanding of the Dao to practice."

"There is another key point, which is how to extract the spirituality of thinking..."

"Perhaps I still have to understand a branch of cause and effect."

Seeing Shen Mu lost in thought, Chi Wuyan did not disturb him but just waited silently.

After a moment, Shen Mu came back to his senses and looked at Chi Wuyan.

"Mr. Yan, I need the inheritance method of the law of cause and effect. I wonder if you can still activate the ancestral tower to manifest various divine realm inheritances?"

Previously, the hundreds of thousands of inheritances in the first level of the ancestral tower included almost all the great ways known to Shen Mu.

Naturally, there is also the inheritance of great principles such as cause and effect, destiny, etc.

However, time is tight and the task is heavy, and Chi Wuyan may not be able to maintain this state for long.

Shen Mu naturally would not waste time and immersed himself in the contemplation of the more than sixty inheritances and methods of the Soul Dao.

Hearing Shen Mu's words, Chi Wuyan shook his head helplessly.

"I'm afraid I've disappointed you, Your Excellency. I'm running out of energy now and can only live for a few more years."

"In this state, even if I burn myself to activate the ancestral tower, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for a few days."

"If Your Excellency can master a divine-level technique within a few days... I can give it a try."

A few days...don't even think about this.

It took Shen Mu nearly a hundred years to master the sixty-one soul-path methods, just to get started with the basics.

This is the accumulation of Shen Mu's soul that has been immersed in it for countless years, and it will burst out in one day.

"I wonder what use is there for the Dharma of cause and effect that the Venerable wants to have?"

"Although there is no method of karma in my Chiwu clan's temple, there are several volumes of exclusive Tianzun inheritance."

“It is not difficult to use these volumes of Tianzun inheritance to go to Gu Heng to exchange for a volume of the causal path method for the initial entry into the divine realm.”

Shen Mu did not hide Chi Wuyan. If he could directly exchange it for a similar method, it would not be impossible.

"I need a method similar to the causal contract, a method to complete the contract and witness the transaction with the will of the origin of heaven."

When Shen Mu said this, Chi Wuyan was a little surprised and said, "If Your Excellency wants to trade with others, there are several blank Heavenly Dao contracts in my clan. Your Excellency can take them directly."

Hearing this, Shen Mu shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I want to pass down the supreme secret technique to countless sentient beings, but it can't be passed down in vain. There needs to be a cycle of cause and effect, and it needs to be rewarded to me."

"Although the Heavenly Dao Contract is not precious, it is impossible for me to sign a contract with others every day."

At this point, Chi Wuyan finally understood Shen Mu's thoughts.

Similar behavior is not uncommon in this world.

In many legends, there are Supreme Spirits leaving behind bloodlines, and their descendants need to fulfill certain obligations for the Supreme Spirits.

Even when Chi Wuyan was young, he heard from the elders in his family that the drying up of the Chi Wu clan's true spiritual bloodline might be due to the failure to fulfill certain obligations and breach of contract.

"I see. Then please wait for a while, Your Excellency."

"I will now instruct my people to contact the Gu Heng Dynasty and many allied nations to find a method of cause and effect for the Venerable."

"In that case, I'll leave it to Mr. Yan."

Shen Mu attaches great importance to this treasure of his which is made of thinking and spirituality.

The mystery of spiritual thinking far exceeds the so-called natural treasures.

In the future, this treasure may be the transcendental treasure that will accompany Shen Mu to transcendence, so we must not be careless.

Therefore, one needs to consider what kind of treasure to refine.

Bells, tripods, towers, and buildings are all good and important artifacts, but choosing a specific one requires careful consideration.
