Chapter 268: Amidst the joys and sorrows, I am free and at my ease, the ultimate path of mind
In the vast First Mountain area, the Lei Chi ship, which was hundreds of light years long, passed by.

Rays of divine light spread out in all directions from the Lei Chi ship. Those were the elites from the True Spirit Holy Realm exploring the surroundings.

With the help of the communication token, countless information in the entire First Mountain area is summarized here by Shen Mu.

"Senior Shen, I haven't found any secret treasures of the pinnacle level yet!"

"Mr. Shen, the Sword Palace has already explored all the mountains and rivers in this area, and they are unable to find any ultimate treasures."

"Senior, the Ice Palace lineage..."

The person responsible for summarizing the information was naturally not Shen Mu, but Lei Yan Tianzun.

"Master, there is no trace of the pinnacle secret treasure in the eastern part of the First Mountain."

At the front of the boat, Shen Mu sat cross-legged. Nine completely different rules of the great way were intertwined. With divine power as the carrier, they condensed into interconnected universes and forged a divine body.

Shen Mu just sat there, and the time and space around him moved and changed with Shen Mu's breath.

"It seems that the top treasures in the eastern region have all escaped."

Shen Mu opened his eyes, and the Ten Absolute Linglong Tower above his head was spinning, dropping the origins of all the great ways and enveloping Shen Mu.

At this time, in the universe of the first level of the Ten Absolutes Linglong Tower, the Hunyuan Fire was blazing, burning hundreds of ultimate treasures, refining them into endless original power, providing Shen Mu with the power to accelerate time and space.

In the outside world, the past two thousand days in the boundless Jiumiao Mountain world are equivalent to about 320,000 years in the universe.

While in the Ten Absolutes Linglong Pagoda, Shen Mu experienced approximately 3.2 trillion epochs. Although the effect would have been better if he had not directly consumed the Hunyuan Qi accumulated in the pagoda, this time acceleration was already very terrifying.

During this period of time, Shen Mu mainly comprehended the way of mind, the way of time and space, the way of chaos, and the way of formation.

The Xinxiang Dao has the ultimate level of inheritance of "The Great Canon of the Heart, Anger and Self", and the other three great ways have the guidance of the tower spirit, which is equivalent to the teaching of a divine emperor to perfect life.

However, without inheritance, it is much more difficult to comprehend other avenues out of thin air than these four avenues, especially the path of the soul.

There are nine meridians in the Soul Path, but after so many years, he has only fully understood three of the branches, and has not yet integrated the branches to achieve the second major path.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to achieve the ultimate path with one of these four great paths."

"It's a pity that neither the Boundless Immortal Mountain nor the True Spirit Holy Realm has touched upon the inheritance of the Ultimate Way of the Soul."

There is no need to think about the true ultimate inheritance of the soul. In the entire Infinite Hunyuan Space, there is currently no inheritance of this level.

The first being to achieve transcendence through the ultimate way of soul was the yet-to-be-born Dong Bo Xue Ying.

Not to mention Dong Bo Snow Eagle, it is still unclear whether the source world that gave birth to Dong Bo Snow Eagle was born.

"Hide the traces of Lei Chizhou and head to the southern area!"

Upon hearing Shen Mu's order, Lei Yan Tianzun immediately urged the Lei Chi boat to turn into a brilliant lightning and dissolve into the void.

At the same time, Tianzun Lei Yan was also messaging the cultivators from the True Spirit Holy Realm in the southern region, summarizing the existing information.

When entering the boundless Jiu Miao Mountain, thousands of cultivators from the entire True Spirit Holy Realm were randomly scattered throughout every area of ​​the Jiu Miao Mountain.

Therefore, Shen Mu has acquired a lot of information over the years.

In the southern area, there is a top secret treasure that Shen Mu is most interested in, a powerful treasure that contains the impact of will.

The Holy Realm of True Spirit does not emphasize willpower. Like many source worlds, it relies entirely on willpower to intimidate the opponent.

The will of the Origin Continent is still very prosperous, and the reason for this is probably because of the inheritance of the Lie Yuan Technique.

Countless powerful people have inherited the art of Lie Yuan, so they have delved deeper and deeper into the study of will, but before Luo Feng, no one could succeed.

……

The First Mountain is a terrifying mountain that is tens of thousands of light years high. Everything that happens on the mountain can only be detected after tens of thousands of years.

This means that even for a being at the God King level, it would take at least tens of thousands of days to cross from the foot of the mountain to the top.

The so-called First Mountain Region refers to the continents that revolve around this huge mountain.

Boom!

Among the countless continents in the south, a brilliant flash of lightning suddenly emerged from the void.

The monks from the True Spirit Holy Realm who had been waiting for a long time came forward and bowed respectfully outside the Lei Chi Boat.

"Zi Qingyi, a disciple of Zixiao Palace, greets Senior Shen!"

hum!
The lightning faded, revealing Shen Mu's figure.

Shen Mu's eyes fell on Zi Qingyi: "Where is the treasure that contains the pressure of will?"

"Senior, just..."

Before Zi Qingyi finished his words, a vast will emerged from the endless void, and the sky filled with endless fog was directly shattered, revealing the pitch-black endless void.

The years here began to collapse, and the void began to become chaotic.

This was not caused by the power of great ways such as the Way of Time and the Way of Void, but was a purely terrifying will that transcended the ultimate realm.

"Young man, there is no need to look for me. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

It was as if there was rumbling thunder resounding throughout the world, accompanied by an endless round of bright sun slowly rising.

That big sun is not a real sun, but a condensed glow of pure will.

The moment this sound spread, all the endless lives and spirits on the mountains and rivers of this continent fell into a coma, leaving only Shen Mu.

“I didn’t expect it to be a treasure of the Quasi-Middle Origin level.”

The Ten Absolute Linglong Tower above Shen Mu's head suddenly enlarged, like a huge universe spreading out, collapsing time and space, wrapping the entire Lei Chi Boat inside, and then quickly dissipated.

"It's too late to escape now!"

"As a quasi-Hunyuan treasure, this tower cannot protect you!"

In the Sun of Will, an ancient bell swayed slightly, and the invisible state of mind and will began to spread, without carrying the mystery of the Avenue of Waves.

Different from the way of illusion and the way of soul, this is a pure illusion of will, obscuring all self.

Ding--

The ringing sound was long and pure. It did not ring in Shen Mu's ears, nor did it ring in the origin of Shen Mu's soul.

Instead, it vibrates from Shen Mu's own will and soul, evolving into an endless cycle.

Before falling into the illusion, Shen Mu heard the last words of Gu Ling.

"A soulless quasi-Hunyuan treasure, a great opportunity, a great opportunity..."

Obviously, the target of this ancient bell is not Shen Mu, but the Shijue Linglong Tower.

A treasure with a soul is no different from a real living being. But a treasure without a soul simply cannot exert its greatest power.

……

"who I am?"

Shen Mu opened his eyes and saw smoke filling the air and shouts of killing deafening.

The wind was howling, dust was flying all over the sky, and the smell of blood was strong and pungent.

Shen Mu was wearing worn and bloodstained armor, tightly gripping the heavy sword.

I looked around blankly, and all I saw were unfamiliar faces.

"Who am I and where is this place?"

On the battlefield, the shouts and cries of killing were like a never-ending storm. A fierce-looking soldier rushed forward with a spear in his hand, his eyes full of crazy killing intent.

He instinctively raised his sword to block, and the sword and gun collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

A huge force came from his arm, which caused his hand to hurt and the sword almost slipped out of his hand.

"Who are you?" Shen Mu asked loudly, but his voice was instantly drowned out by the shouting and screaming around him.

The soldier remained silent, then roared and stabbed with his gun again.

At this time, a burly man as tall as an iron tower rushed over.

He held a huge axe in his hand and was very powerful. He instantly chopped down the soldier who attacked Shen Mu. Blood splattered and dyed the ground beneath his feet red.

"Boy, what are you doing? Hurry up and kill the enemy!" the big man shouted. "Do you know me? Who am I?" Shen Mu asked anxiously, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

The big man frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "You are Lin Feng, we joined the army together, how come you even forgot about yourself?"

"Lin Feng? This is me, but why don't I have any impression of him?" Shen Mu was full of doubts, but the battlefield was in chaos and he had no time to think about it.

The enemies came like a tide, and Shen Mu had no choice but to fight desperately.

Every time I swing the sword, it’s because of the desire to survive.

Watching his comrades falling one by one, Shen Mu gradually became numb and only knew how to kill and continue killing.

During the break in the battle, Shen Mu looked around, trying to find clues about who he was.

Not far away there was a tattered military flag. The pattern on it was blurry, but Shen Mu felt familiar with it.

Shen Mu ran towards the military flag with all his might, dodging enemy attacks along the way.

When he was almost reaching the military flag, several enemies stopped Shen Mu.

"Stop him! Don't let him get close to the military flag!" The enemy shouted and rushed towards Shen Mu.

Shen Mu gritted his teeth and fought desperately with them with a spear in hand.

Shen Mu was very strong. He always instinctively gathered his strength together and launched attacks that others could not resist. He broke through the army formation and came to the military flag.

Shen Mu carefully examined the pattern on the military flag, trying to find clues.

But at this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot over and Shen Mu was unable to dodge.

As consciousness faded, only one question remained in my mind.

"Who am I? And what is this battle for?"

"Who am I..."

When Shen Mu woke up again, what he saw was the white walls of the hospital and his wife Tang Yongqing's concerned face.

Tang Yongqing hugged Shen Mu and cried loudly: "You finally woke up..."

In this life, Shen Mu is a vegetative person who has just awakened.

In the first year after waking up, Shen Mu tried hard to adapt to this strange world.

The question "Who am I?" kept circling in Shen Mu's mind.

My wife patiently told Shen Mu about every detail of our past, but looking at the photos, she could only catch some vague shadows.

In the second year after waking up, he accepted his identity and began to embrace a new life.

The third year, the fourth year... Shen Mu gradually let go of everything and spent his ordinary life.

At the last moment of his life, returning to the familiar ward, the almost forgotten question once again surfaced in Shen Mu's mind.

"I...is it really me?"

……

In the shabby and silent thatched hut, Shen Mu woke up in a dark corner.

"Another life?"

He was dressed in rags, dirty, and had lame legs.

In this life, Shen Mu is a beggar.

The world around me is full of indifference and disgust.

In the first year, I wandered the streets, hungry and cold.

The next year, life still didn't improve at all... Year after year, the years passed in misery.

One day in the deep winter, Shen Mu froze to death in an abandoned, dilapidated wooden house.

At the last moment of life, the question of "Who am I" still echoed in my mind.

But Shen Mu was no longer able to find the answer. As his consciousness faded, he fell into darkness again...

In the fourth generation, Shen Mu presided over an imperial dynasty, worked hard to govern the country, and brought glory to all quarters.

In the fifth life, Shen Mu was a scientist.

The sixth life... In one illusion after another, Shen Mu experienced joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and all kinds of life.

In the end, Shen Mu didn't know how many reincarnations he had experienced. Sometimes Shen Mu even felt that he was very lucky to have countless lives. Why should he still worry about who he was?

……

The vast will shook the entire Ten Absolutes Linglong Tower, and the glow of endless will condensed, trying again and again to distort the defenses of the Ten Absolutes Linglong Tower.

"Damn it... the tower-shaped treasure is too strong. Even if I slowly wear it down, there won't be enough time."

"Such a big commotion must have attracted the attention of Hunyuan."

The ancient precious bell evolved into a human figure, and then a special wave of will spread out, cutting through the entire space and time, and directly moving the Ten Absolute Linglong Tower away from this continent.

Not long after, a mustard seed-sized Sumeru space was opened up in the vast clouds and mist.

Inside the space, countless chaotic mists are surging, and huge stone pillars with a diameter of one light year support the entire world.

Each stone pillar is an invincible divine weapon, and they form a formation according to their positions.

"This time, I can't do it. How long can you hold on?"

The treasure bell vibrated, and the original power of the Ultimate Wave Avenue and the Ultimate Tide Avenue intertwined, linking thousands of invincible treasures to resonate.

These treasures were not made from life sacrifices, but were refined by this ancient bell.

hum!
Brilliant chains of light intertwined, and under the resonance of the ancient bell's wave path and tidal path, they converged into a sharp spear of chaos.

"Break it for me!"

Boom!

Endless primordial energy burst out, directly penetrating the power of the rules of this world and bursting onto the pagoda.

Click!

A fine crack appeared on the Shijue Hunyuan Pagoda.

Suddenly, a special wave spread out from the pitch-black bone tower. This was the will of the ultimate realm.

"Revived? Interesting, the will of the Ultimate Realm can actually get rid of the will illusion."

"But that's enough, keep calm!"

Boom!

The two vast wills began to clash, but the result shocked Gu Ling extraordinarily.

"The artistic conception of the Palace Master level... No, the Palace Master level of great perfection, the will of the half-Purgatory level!"

The ancient bell instantly burned. Faced with this level of will, the ancient bell's own will was directly suppressed. The power of the entire formation instantly dissipated, and the Ten Absolute Linglong Tower directly broke free from its restraints.

The front of the two quasi-Hunyuan magic weapons expanded, and the Sumeru world in this ring collapsed directly.

"You are only an Ultimate Lifeform... How can you possibly possess the will of a Half-Pure Origin level!"

Facing Gu Ling's questioning, Shen Mu did not respond.

"I enjoy life and death, and I am still free in sorrow and joy. This is the true end of the state of mind!"

The great way of the mind is achieved, the ultimate state is broken!
"It's all thanks to you that I was able to see through the nature of my mind!"

There was murderous intent in Shen Mu's eyes, and the complete ultimate avenue of his mind condensed, pushing Shen Mu's soul and body to begin transforming.

Although Shen Mu already possessed the ultimate combat power, he had only comprehended the second level of the great way, and the soul and divine power structure he constructed was only that of the second level of the Divine King.

Being able to possess the ultimate combat power is thanks to the ultimate will and perfect divine body, the foundation is strong enough. Even if the divine power and soul structure are only the second level, Shen Mu is still comparable to the ultimate realm.

Boom!

The mysteries of the mind and the way of the soul are intertwined to construct a new soul structure. Shen Mu's soul strength suddenly began to surge, breaking through the boundary of the ultimate peak in an instant!
