Chapter 253 Three Killer Moves, Refining Spirit Embryo
Chiwu Dynasty, Southeast Land.

There is a towering mountain here that is a million feet high. It is the node of many surrounding land veins and is connected to hundreds of thousands of mountains.

The Shiwan Mountains, as the name suggests, is a super mountain range formed by connecting countless majestic and steep mountains.

According to legend, in ancient times, the entire continent was divided into two continents.

It was because the two supreme true spirits fought to the death, causing the heaven and earth to shake, and the two continents collided and merged into one, which formed these hundred thousand mountains.

At this time, on the top of this majestic sacred mountain that was a million feet high, Shen Mu stood, and behind him stood Chiwu Liyue and many top-level masters of the Chiwu clan.

"Your Excellency... do you mean to use this Tiandang Mountain as a furnace for refining weapons?"

Among the top masters of the Chiwu clan, an old and skinny figure bowed to Shen Mu and asked.

Shen Mu nodded slightly: "Yes, Tiandang Mountain is a node of the earth veins, which can carry the power of heaven and earth that I have gathered. Ordinary refining furnaces are naturally not qualified."

As he spoke, a brilliant red cloud surged in Shen Mu's palm, and a light golden formation flag emerged.

This formation flag is also the first of the thirty-six God King-level formation flags refined by Shen Mu, and the core of the 1332 square formation eye.

"Wow!"

A sound similar to the cry of a phoenix echoed in the sky. With the appearance of this formation flag, the temperature within thousands of miles around began to soar at an extremely fast speed.

The next moment, the formation flag in Shen Mu's palm turned into a dazzling stream of light and sank into the belly of Tiandang Mountain.

hum!
The entire mountain began to tremble slightly, and within a few breaths, it turned into waves of terrifying roars.

The top of the mountain suddenly collapsed, forming a huge crater. Terrifying hot waves were brewing in the crater.

"The Great Heaven and Earth Furnace is done!"

Shen Mu waved his hand, and the dazzling "divine sun" floating in the sky suddenly began to shrink, and then condensed into a ray of light that poured into the volcano.

"It will take me several hundred years or even longer to refine this treasure. If it is not an emergency, please do not disturb me."

"Yes, Your Honor!"

Chiwu Liyue and many elders of the Chiwu clan quickly agreed.

Then Shen Mu took a step forward and his figure disappeared into the huge crater.

Boom!

There was another huge roar and the entire Tiandang Mountain began to change. The many large and small mountains surrounding Tiandang Mountain began to collapse.

The earth cracked open, and magma surged and flowed upstream, covering the towering mountain.

After a moment, the huge mountain began to expand and bulge, and from a distance, it actually formed the outline of a divine furnace.

The lava cracks on the mountain are intertwined with each other, just like the countless secret patterns on a divine furnace.

With the formation of this Divine Furnace Mountain, the infinite power of heaven and earth that gathered together seemed to have found a point of inclination and poured into this Divine Furnace Mountain all at once.

At this point, the supreme formation that spanned the entire Chiwu clan's territory finally calmed down, operating peacefully and orderly, gathering the power of heaven and earth from the surrounding infinite void bit by bit, nourishing the Divine Furnace Mountain.

"Using the heaven and earth as a furnace... Your Excellency's methods give me the illusion of reading an ancient legend of my clan."

An elder from the Chiwu clan couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, a group of old men from the Chiwu clan also agreed. The more powerful and mysterious Shen Mu was, the better it would be for the Chiwu clan.

"Princess Liyue, I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in passing on the bloodline now?"

An elder of the Chiwu clan looked at Chiwu Liyue and asked secretly.

Chiwu Liyue shook her head helplessly: "Your Majesty said that my realm is too low, and asked me to achieve the half-step god realm before nurturing my bloodline."

The so-called half-step divine realm is similar to the realm of Chiwu Tiancheng and the elders present.

Whether it is the body, blood, soul, etc., they have all transformed to the limit of the chaotic state, and there is only one last step away from realizing the perfect state.

After explaining, Chiwu Liyue changed the subject.

"Your Majesty has issued a decree first. If anyone asks about refining treasures, just say that it is our clan's protector who is refining treasures. Do not disclose the details."

"Haha, Princess Liyue, don't worry. Even if Your Majesty doesn't tell us, we will still say the same thing."

Not many people knew about the circumstances of Chi Wuyan's fall.

Apart from this group of Chiwu clan elders, only Chiwu clan Liyue and the current king knew about it. Even the other princes, princes, etc. were completely unaware of it.

The Heaven and Earth Crucible Formation that Shen Mu arranged this time was inherited from the Hermit.

Of course, this kind of formation was not created by the Hermit. The Hermit was able to rise and establish a country because he inherited the legacy of an ancient powerful being on the Continent of Origin.

Therefore, this is an extremely high-level treasure refining formation, and it can be used to scare the venerables in this world.

After all, this world doesn't pay much attention to the great ways of refining treasures, refining pills, and forming formations. You should know that on the Continent of Origin, there are even people who have achieved invincibility by refining their bodies through the use of formations.

……

Inside the Shenlu Mountain, the fire from heaven and the power from earth merged into one, transforming into tens of thousands of surging fire dragons. Each fire dragon could easily annihilate a being at the peak of the Chaos Realm.

"Gather!"

Endless divine fire surged, and under Shen Mu's control, fire dragons merged into this huge Divine Furnace Mountain, completely evolving into Shen Mu's treasure refining furnace.

At this point, all the external conditions for refining treasures have been obtained.

Next, it’s time to prepare the materials for refining treasures.

Shen Mu was refining his own treasure of proof of the truth, so naturally he would not look for any God-King level materials, as any material has its limitations.

"The mysterious light of wisdom appears!"

Shen Mu, dressed in white, was bathed in endless flames, as if he were an almighty being in control of the divine fire of heaven and earth.

As Shen Mu's mind moved, wisps of invisible and formless thoughts and spirituality emerged and surrounded Shen Mu.

Ordinary people cannot see this invisible and intangible soul essence at all. Only those who are also practicing the soul can sense the existence of these wisps of spiritual thinking.

Although Shen Mu's "Great Wisdom Art" had just been spread, in just a few years, it had only spread to several surrounding countries and had not really expanded.

But death is the most normal thing. Even in the peaceful world of the previous life, people died of natural causes or accidents every minute and every second.

What's more, this world is a world of cultivation filled with the ancient and barbaric atmosphere. Fighting and killing are the mainstream of this world, and death is really the most normal thing.

Therefore, in just a few years, Shen Mu has now collected the thoughts and spiritualities of thousands of Chaos Realm creatures.

"Feast!"

Endless divine clouds surged between Shen Mu's fingers, blending with the power of heaven and earth around him that was endlessly evolving into divine fire, condensing into nearly transparent soul fires.

The soul fire is also an almost invisible existence, but it can burn time and space. Therefore, from a distance, the time and space around Shen Mu seemed somewhat distorted, and distorted into wisps of flames.

Thousands of thoughts and spiritualities bathed in the fire of the soul and began the initial ritual.

This ritual refining process is to transform the false into the true, the virtual into the real, and to transform these invisible and intangible spiritual thoughts into tangible energy and matter.

Fortunately, Shen Mu's understanding of the way of the soul is deep enough, and he also practiced the way of illusion, and realized the great way of turning the false into the true.

Although Shen Mu's attainments in the realm of illusion are not yet very high, he is still able to deal with the spiritual thinking of the chaotic realm.

Pong!
The sound of rising flames was endless, and countless secret patterns and symbols condensed in front of Shen Mu, blending into the soul flame, and melting into one with the thousands of thoughts and spirituality. As time passed, a ray of divine light with hazy clouds condensed out.

This ray of divine light is not very bright, and has a hazy sense of nothingness. The colorful rays of light flowing on it are also extremely strange, as if they contain all the colors in the world.

The wisdom and thinking of life are a miracle in themselves.

It is said that all things in the world are manifested by one person's thoughts. Even a mortal can imagine all kinds of supreme scenes through his own wisdom.

It’s just that everyone’s wisdom is different, so the scenes they can understand and imagine are also different.

"Since it is made from spirituality, then let's call it the Mysterious Light of Wisdom."

With the emergence of the first ray of wisdom, not long after... wisps of equally hazy and strange mysterious light also condensed.

Under Shen Mu's control, countless mysterious lights began to spread and extend...intertwining with each other, and finally weaving into the outline of an illusory treasure furnace.

Above the treasure furnace, there are the universe, the stars, the heavens and the earth and all things... All the patterns and symbols are changing, and at a glance, there is a sense of déjà vu that is both hazy and clear.

"It has become... the embryo of a true soul treasure."

As the successor of Xuji Sect, Shen Mu naturally has soul attack embryos in the sect’s treasury.

But it is only the embryo of soul attack. Even if it is forged, it is only a treasure of soul defense or soul attack.

It is not a true treasure of the soul, there is an essential difference between the two.

Now, this illusory treasure furnace is the real soul embryo. It is the embryo created by Shen Mu based on his understanding of the soul and the wisdom of all living beings.

"In the beginning there was God, and spirits and God emerged!"

Shen Mu's mind moved, and the clear light of the soul emerged from his body, forming a phantom around him that was like a whirlpool galaxy.

The sound of chanting like a murmur also sounded, and Shen Mu began to manifest the soul-mastery "Heart Sutra of Origin" that he had comprehended.

The current Origin Heart Sutra, apart from the general outline of the Soul Path, only has three killer moves.

The first killing move was evolved from the supreme heart calamity, a kind of illusionary killing move called "Heart Tribulation".

The second killing move is based on the soul annihilation branch of the soul path, and is a killing move that combines the mysteries of the mind path and the secret art of will. It is called "Mind Fire".

For the third killer move, Shen Mu integrated the secrets of the false-to-true branch of the Illusion Dao, using illusion to interfere with reality, and named it "Delusion".

"melt!"

The clear light of the soul began to surge, turning into rivers that fell from the sky like mercury, submerging the hazy treasure furnace.

Pong!
The boundless soul fire suddenly rose up, instantly becoming countless times more intense, and began a long process of sacrifice and perfection.

To transform from an embryo into a treasure, Shen Mu needs to devote all his understanding. This process may be endless because Shen Mu's perception will not stagnate.

However, Shen Mu believed that one day, his divine furnace would transform from a primordial embryo into a true treasure. It would contain all the souls, illusions, and minds, and dominate the infinite world of Hunyuan.

……

The stars move and the sun and the moon rotate.

The years passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand years had passed.

In the outside world, at the foot of the magnificent Shenlu Mountain, the elders of the Chiwu clan sat in charge according to different positions.

Although Shen Mu's strength is strong enough and he does not need their protection.

If Shen Mu can't solve it, their protection will be meaningless.

But for some things, whether it is necessary or not is one thing, and whether you do it or not is another.

On this day, a team of secret guards composed of top masters from afar, escorted the current leader of Chiwu State to the foot of the sacred mountain.

During these thousand years, the King of Chiwu would come to Shenlu Mountain every once in a while to check on the situation.

"My fellow elders, has His Majesty made any moves during this period?"

In just a thousand years, this young and strong ruler of Chiwu State actually had gray hair.

An era is ten thousand years, and the ruler of Chiwu is only over four thousand years old, and he is still in the prime of his life. Obviously, it is incredible that such a situation could occur.

"Your Majesty, please do not worry. I have already asked Princess Liyue and others about this. Your Majesty will definitely come out of seclusion before the Gods' Exchange Conference."

Faced with the old man's words, the King of Chiwu smiled helplessly.

"I dare not urge Your Majesty, but over the past thousand years, the surrounding dynasties have been trying every possible way to find out the situation of Shenlu Mountain."

"Shenlu Mountain is sacred and extraordinary, and is guarded by the elders. Naturally, these villains dare not approach it."

"But the imperial capital is already in turmoil... After all, His Majesty is in seclusion now, and my Chiwu clan is incompetent and unable to deter those villains."

The King of Chiwu complained here for a long time, and the elders next to him just listened to him with a smile.

Suddenly, a green light flashed and landed in front of the leader of Chiwu Kingdom, revealing the figure of Chiwu Liyue.

"Your Majesty, before the Lord set up the formation, he gave you a token of the formation, which can mobilize the power of the formation to kill any expert below the level of the Lord."

Chiwu Liyue frowned slightly and looked at the Lord of Chiwu: "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems with the Emperor, right?"

The Heaven and Earth Furnace Array arranged by Shen Mu can be used to refine treasures on the one hand, and on the other hand it can also serve as the Chiwu clan's national defense array.

To be precise, this is a mechanical combat method.

1332 formation flags, divided into thirty-six formations.

Each formation is staffed by a top master sitting at the main flag position, and 36 ordinary ninth-level Transcendent Realm masters holding auxiliary flags, forming a large formation together to trigger a combat state.

At least within the Chiwu clan's territory, suppressing ordinary beings who have just entered the realm of God King is not a problem. Even ordinary Venerables can only protect themselves when facing a formation at its peak state.

The King of Chiwu naturally knew this truth, but he still explained it helplessly.

"That being said, Your Majesty is currently refining a supreme treasure. If I interfere with the formation and cause Your Majesty to fail, then I, as the King, will be held responsible!"

As they were talking, the entire Shenlu Mountain shook slightly.

The hazy and soft colorful divine light gushed out from the crater on the top of the mountain, illuminating the sky in magnificent and dreamy colorful clouds.

"Such a strange phenomenon? Is His Majesty about to come out of seclusion?"

The King of Chiwu was overjoyed and looked at Chiwu Liyue and other elders standing beside him.

Chiwu Liyue shook her head slightly and explained: "That's not the case. Every once in a while, this kind of dreamy colorful clouds will appear."

The elder beside him nodded and said, "Yes, but the range of the colorful clouds this time is indeed much larger than before."

"Before His Majesty went into seclusion, he said that this treasure refining would take only a few hundred to a thousand years, so perhaps the day of his exit is not far away."

Another elder also said, "Emperor, please go back first. Every time a colorful cloud appears, it will attract beasts from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, including some of the most powerful beasts. With your strength, staying here will only cause more trouble."

"In that case... I will take my leave now."

The King of Chiwu knew that he was disliked, but he was not embarrassed. He bowed to several elders, then left half of his secret guards and hurried back to the capital.

“Princess Liyue, please return to the mountaintop as well. The phenomena caused by the Venerable’s treasure refining this time are quite large. I’m afraid it will attract more than one peak ferocious beast.”

Upon hearing this, Chiwu Liyue nodded her head slightly, and naturally would not be a burden here.
