Chapter 252: The Mysterious Light of Wisdom Gathers, and Heaven and Earth Create a Baking Furnace

The next morning, in the small courtyard in the bamboo forest, Shen Mu looked towards the direction of the imperial city.

Beside Shen Mu, Chiwu Liyue had finished her makeup and put her hair into a bun. Her temperament had inexplicably changed.

Shen Mu turned his head slightly and looked at Chiwu Liyue with a slightly complicated tone.

"Liyue, Mr. Yan has already begun to transform into Tao. Go and inform the Lord of Chiwu and the top leaders of your Chiwu clan, and let them make preparations early."

Upon hearing this, Chiwu Liyue's face showed shock, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

In the hearts of every member of the Chiwu clan, Venerable Yan has always been the patron saint of the Chiwu Dynasty.

For countless years, he has protected the Chiwu Dynasty. No matter whether it was a provocation from other countries or a tide of beasts launched by the Ten Thousand Mountains, as long as Venerable Yan stepped forward, there was nothing that could not be solved.

“Your Majesty, this… how is this possible? Our ancestor…” Chiwu Liyue’s voice trembled slightly, and her face did not conceal her uneasiness and anxiety.

Shen Mu shook his head slightly, sighed and said, "How could I joke about such a thing? Let's inform the Lord of Chiwu to avoid any mistakes."

Chiwu Liyue quickly apologized for her misbehavior: "Your Majesty, it was Liyue who misbehaved. I will inform the clan immediately."

Having said that, Chiwu Liyue took a deep breath, said goodbye to Shen Mu, and then headed straight for the imperial city.

As for how to deal with Chi Wuyan's funeral, Shen Mu doesn't need to worry about it.

I don't think the Chiwu clan would make a big fuss and tell everyone that their ancestor in the divine realm has passed away.

Anyway, with the mysterious ancestral tower there, the strange phenomenon of Chiwuyan's transformation will not affect the outside world.

If it is handled in a low-key manner, others will not suspect that Chi Wuyan has fallen in a short period of time.

When Shen Mu first took office as the Venerable, Chi Wuyan used a secret technique to conceal his impending demise.

Even Shen Mu, who had comprehended the origin of life, could not easily figure it out, let alone the other venerables present.

"My understanding of the great cause and effect is now sufficient."

"Next, I can try to continue to perfect my secret art of wisdom."

The secret technique created by Shen Mu to collect spiritual thoughts has entered the final stage of modification.

As long as this last step is successfully integrated into the cause and effect induction, it can be considered initially perfected.

At that time, Shen Mu will be able to sense the existence of all those who have practiced this secret art of wisdom.

As long as Shen Mu is willing, he can extract the other party's spiritual thinking through the avenue of cause and effect.

Shen Mu's eyes were deep, with causal pupils emerging as he looked at the endless causal entanglements that spread throughout the void.

"All living beings practice my secret arts and contribute their thoughts, spirituality, and insights before they die. These serve as the nourishment for me to forge treasures. This is the clearing of cause and effect."

This last step is not difficult for Shen Mu, just take it slowly.

The years passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed.

On this day, two figures stood outside Shen Mu's courtyard.

One old and one young, the old man had white hair and beard, and a calm demeanor. The young man was wearing a green robe, had a handsome face, and a determined look in his eyes.

The people who came were none other than Li Yangchen and Li Yang Tiancheng.

"Ancestor, I... am a little nervous." Li Yangchen looked at the old man beside him.

Li Yang Tiancheng reached out his hand with a kind look and rubbed Li Yangchen's head.

"Chen'er, the Lord looks favorably upon you. This time you have already stepped into the realm of artistic conception. Whether the Lord accepts you as a disciple or not, he will definitely grant you opportunities. Don't be nervous."

"Come on, follow me to see His Majesty."

Li Yang Tiancheng said this and walked with Li Yang Chen to the gate of Shen Mu's courtyard.

But before the two of them could react, the wooden door of the courtyard opened naturally.

Then the two of them saw Shen Mu sitting under an ancient bamboo. Beside Shen Mu, there was a beautiful maid playing the piano.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Li Yang Tiancheng and Li Yang Chen didn't dare to look directly at Shen Mu, and quickly knelt on the ground to greet him.

Shen Mu did not speak, his eyes fell on Li Yangchen.

A faint fluctuation of the Great Dao of the Origin of Fire surged around his body, and his own blood aura also underwent a qualitative change as he stepped into the realm of the Great Dao of the Origin.

Even if Shen Mu did not accept Li Yangchen as his disciple, with Li Yangchen's current achievements, with enough resources allocated, he would definitely be able to match Li Yang Tiancheng.

"No need to be polite, just get up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Mu smiled, and then looked at Li Yangchen: "Child, I don't practice the realm of fire. If you are willing to become my disciple, you can only become my nominal disciple."

"If you can understand the secret of life from water and fire in the future, you can become my direct disciple."

Li Yangchen knelt down immediately and said, "I wish to cultivate the realm of life, I hope the teacher will not abandon me."

Li Yangchen had a clear feeling that this was the greatest opportunity in his life and he must not give up.

No matter what the cost, he would be willing to pay it as long as he could become Shen Mu's disciple.

Shen Mu nodded slightly, having his own considerations in mind.

Although accepting Li Yangchen as his disciple would not help him in any way, Shen Mu had always been a person who pursued perfection from beginning to end.

Since I gave Li Yangchen a chance in the first place, I will not go back on my word.

"Well, from today on, you will be my registered disciple."

Upon hearing this, Li Yangchen kowtowed repeatedly: "Disciple Li Yangchen, hello to the teacher!"

Shen Mu smiled and shook his head, then said a few words of encouragement.

"I have never accepted any disciples in these years. You are the only one, so you should practice with me in the future."

Li Yangchen naturally had no objection and nodded quickly, "Yes, teacher."

Li Yang Tiancheng, who was standing aside, saw that his goal had been achieved, so he kowtowed to Shen Mu and took his leave.

After Li Yang Tiancheng left, Shen Mu raised his hand and touched Li Yangchen's brow, saying: "This is the follow-up scripture of the origin of water and fire. It will help you understand the mystery of the source of life from water and fire."

Vast amounts of information and secret patterns flooded into Li Yangchen's mind all at once. The many mysteries contained therein made Li Yangchen's thinking a little stagnant for a moment.

"Disciple will definitely understand the mystery of the artistic conception of life and live up to teacher's expectations." After Li Yangchen recovered from his shock, he spoke quickly.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Practice well. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"is teacher!"

At this point, Shen Mu had completely dealt with all the trivial matters in this world.

Next, I should concentrate on my own cultivation and the refining of the treasure for attaining enlightenment.

There are still more than 1,800 years before the Gods Exchange Conference, so Shen Mu is not in a hurry.

Just take your time.

The sun moves, September passes, and in the blink of an eye, several decades have passed.

On this day, in the worship courtyard, Li Yangchen and Chiwu Liyue stood in front of Shen Mu, each with a respectful look on their face.

Shen Mu's voice sounded, containing a special sound of Tao.

"Over the years, I have been perfecting a special secret technique." "This secret technique has the ability to transform the soul, improve understanding, and condense wisdom. For life in the Transcendent Realm, it is a secret of the highest level."

"I named this secret teaching 'The Great Wisdom Technique' and I want to spread it throughout the world so that countless sentient beings can practice it."

Chiwu Liyue's heart moved when she heard this. She thought of the secret technique she practiced, which was also given by Shen Mu, and had the effect of improving wisdom and understanding.

"Your Majesty, is this the secret technique that I am practicing?" Chiwu Liyue looked at Shen Mu with some curiosity.

Shen Mu smiled and said: "The secret technique you are practicing is the complete version, and the effect is excellent."

"And the secret technique I need to spread is a simplified version. It is effective for ordinary Transcendent Realm cultivators, but not for Divine Realm venerables."

After hearing this, Li Yangchen pondered in his heart.

"Teacher, this move must have a deep meaning."

"But if this secret technique can be spread, it will be of great benefit to all living beings in the world."

While Li Yangchen was thinking, Shen Mu spoke again.

"The task of spreading this secret technique is now in your hands."

"But remember one thing, you can't say that this "Great Wisdom Technique" was created by me. You have to change the name."

"Let's just say that this secret technique is the highest secret hidden in the Chiwu clan's ancestral tower, which can greatly improve the understanding of life in the Transcendent Realm."

Li Yangchen said quickly: "Teacher, don't worry, I will spread the secret technique among the clan."

Chiwu Liyue also quickly said: "Your Excellency's request is the most important matter for Chiwu Nation. The entire Chiwu Nation will cooperate with Your Excellency's request and spread the secret technique."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and handed the secret technique to the two: "Go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"is teacher!"

The two of them quickly kowtowed to Shen Mu, then turned and left the bamboo forest courtyard.

……

On the other hand, the Chiwu clan was quite shocked when they learned of Shen Mu's request.

This supreme secret technique? Is it going to be spread all over the world?

Although the Chiwu King and other high-level Chiwu clan members did not understand why Shen Mu acted like this, they naturally did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and began to arrange the dissemination of the secret technique.

First of all, according to Shen Mu's request, this secret technique is the ancestral secret technique of the Chiwu clan, and it must not be spread directly. It requires various accidents.

Anyway, no matter what we do, as long as the secret technique can be spread, it will be fine.

At the same time, Shen Mu also needs to find a place to refine treasures.

In order to refine the ultimate treasure for proving the truth this time, I need to use the heaven and earth as a furnace and nature as a worker, so I have to choose a suitable blessed place in heaven and earth.

After learning of Shen Mu's request, the King of Chiwu ordered many powerful members of the royal family to begin searching the mountains and seas within the territory of the Chiwu Dynasty, determined to find the blessed land that Shen Mu needed.

The powerful royal family members took action one after another. They shuttled through every corner of the Chiwu Dynasty, not missing any possible place.

This process took about half a month.

Half a month later, Chiwu Liyue came to the worship courtyard and reported to Shen Mu: "Your Majesty, the special blessed land you requested has been found."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, looked at Chiwu Liyue, and said: "I need to set up a supreme formation to gather the flames of heaven and earth. I need thirty-six kinds of divine realm fire attribute spiritual objects and one thousand two hundred and ninety-six kinds of peak transmundane realm fire attribute spiritual objects."

Chiwu Liyue agreed when he heard it and quickly passed the news back to the clan.

Early in the morning of the next day, the King of Chiwu came to meet Shen Mu with the spiritual object that Shen Mu requested.

"Your Majesty, this is the divine fire-attributed spiritual object 'Heart of the Flaming Sun'. This spiritual object is..." the Lord of Chiwu introduced carefully.

Shen Mu frowned slightly and interrupted the king directly.

"No need to introduce each one of you. I will refine the large formation flag. After the formation flag is refined, let the people of the Chiwu clan deploy the formation flag across the entire Chiwu Dynasty's millions of mountains and seas."

The king quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

……

The years go by.

Two years passed quietly, and on this day, above Shen Mu’s little world, rays of precious light shot straight into the sky.

These brilliant lights evolved into the shadows of various mysterious and ferocious beasts.

There is the Golden Crow that crosses the sky like a blazing sun, emitting endless divine radiance... There is the Bifang that burns with blazing flames, and there is the Suzaku that wears colorful wings...

One after another, the precious flags rose into the sky and condensed into an infinite vision, forcing back the operating laws of heaven and earth. The pure fluctuations of the avenue of fire suppressed all rules.

In the blink of an eye, a total of 1332 battle flags appeared, and countless phantoms of ferocious beasts were floating in the air.

The vast and terrifying wave spread to the entire territory of the Chiwu Dynasty, and the billions of miles of dark sky within the entire Chiwu territory were dyed with a layer of brilliant red clouds.

Countless people were startled by this sudden strange phenomenon. They stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

"Wow, what is that? It's so spectacular!" A newly born child said excitedly, pointing at the phantom of a ferocious beast in the sky.

"Don't be rude, kowtow quickly." An old man next to the child said fearfully.

The next moment, these formation flags turned into divine light and flew towards the geomantic nodes in the territory of the Chiwu Dynasty.

Every time the flag fell to the ground, the earth would tremble slightly, and a beam of fire would shoot up into the sky, as if it was going to pierce through the heaven and earth.

As the flags fell one after another, the supreme formation covering the entire territory of the Chiwu clan gradually took shape, and the infinite power of heaven and earth began to gather.

Finally, above the nine heavens, it evolved into the phantom of a furnace of heaven and earth.

As time passed, the phantom of the furnace of heaven and earth madly absorbed endless energy, and eventually turned into a dazzling sun, illuminating the endless mountains and seas.

The moment this sun appeared, countless lives and cultivators from dozens of countries surrounding the Chiwu clan felt the wave that shook their souls.

Even if you look at the territory of Chiwu clan from billions of mountains and seas away, you can still see that dazzling "sun".

The patriots of the countries surrounding Chiwu immediately noticed that there was a small sun in the sky above Chiwu.

"That direction... is the Chiwu Dynasty!"

"Such a vast energy fluctuation, could it be that an ancient treasure has been unearthed?"

"Could it be that old fellow Chi Wuyan has made a breakthrough?"

The national protectors of various countries had different reactions, and they all speculated what big move the Chiwu clan was up to.

Anyway, this level of pressure fluctuation is definitely not something that an ordinary god-level master can do.

Therefore, some people even speculated that it was the old fellow Chi Wuyan who had achieved the realm of Heavenly Venerate by gathering the Three Flowers at the Top of his Head.

Although this speculation is outrageous, it is not completely impossible.

Of course, speculation is speculation, and the countries surrounding the Chiwu clan also summoned their envoys to the Chiwu Dynasty as soon as possible, asking them to enter the palace to meet the emperor and confirm the cause of this strange phenomenon.

But when they learned that the sun in the sky was an illusion formed by the treasure refined by the Chiwu clan's protector of the country, they were all stunned.

"This...how is this possible?" The envoy of the Tianyue Dynasty looked a little panicked. The relationship between their Tianyue Dynasty and the Chiwu clan was not very good.

"Hurry up and send the news back to the country!"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's quickly report the news to the king. This strange phenomenon was caused by the treasure refined by the Chiwu clan's protector of the country!"
