Chapter 275: Information on the Emperor's Secret Skills
On the stage, the leader of Lingxin Pavilion flipped his right hand, and a gem that condensed infinite void power emerged.

"This is the dragon ball of the Void Pterosaur clan. I personally refined it over countless years. Its value is comparable to that of a wild beast at the peak of the king level. Consider it my apology to Brother Yuanyuan."

Shen Mu didn't quite understand the price measurement standards in this world, but Si Xuankong in the arena directly conveyed the message.

“Brother Qiyuan, please take it quickly. This old guy is really bleeding.”

Shen Mu's face was expressionless, and he smiled and said, "It's just a misunderstanding. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely go to Lingxin Pavilion and visit the Pavilion Master."

This sentence is not just a casual remark. The next time Shen Mu goes to Lingxin Pavilion, he must be planning to suppress the leader of Lingxin Pavilion and secretly control Lingxin Pavilion in Zhiyang City.

……

In this competition, Shen Mu displayed a powerful fighting ability that could definitely be called the peak of the king level.

People of this level are considered top masters in Zhiyang City, and the backbone of all major forces in Zhiyang City.

If placed in some remote areas, they have a very high status, and are even honored as gods or gods.

The leader of Lingxin Pavilion was already a powerful man at the peak of the king level, and now that Shen Mu had defeated him, it naturally attracted attention from all parties.

In the next few days, Shen Mu's mansion was trampled to pieces.

The first to arrive was the envoy of the Feng Yang Sect's leader. When the envoy saw Shen Mu, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Master Yuanyuan, I am the leader of the Feng Yang Sect. I have heard of your great reputation for a long time. I have specially held a banquet in the Floating Pavilion and sincerely invite you to come and exchange your cultivation experience."

Shen Mu thought for a moment and responded, "Go back and tell your master that I will be there on time."

After the messenger left, another messenger of a powerful king-level late-stage warrior with a burly figure wearing battle armor arrived. "Master Origin, my Thunderstorm God King admires you very much and has specially held a banquet in the Floating Pavilion. I hope you will come and enjoy it."

Shen Mu nodded and said, "Please tell your master that I will definitely go there."

Then, envoys from various powerful king-level masters kept coming to invite him, and Shen Mu accepted them one by one.

The Floating Pavilion is located above Zhiyang City. It is a floating mountain. As the operation center of the city-protecting magic circle, Si Xuan built a palace on it, making it a place of luxury and enjoyment.

Shen Mu came to the Floating Pavilion. As soon as he stepped in, he saw that the palace was exquisitely decorated. Every table and chair were treasures of the God King level.

At this time, there were already many king-level peak masters waiting here. Seeing Shen Mu coming, everyone came forward to greet him.

“Brother Yuanyuan, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and today I finally get to meet you.” A strong man in gorgeous robes said with a smile.

"Brother Yuanyuan is indeed a man of extraordinary bearing. It is truly an honor to be able to sit at the same table with him today." Another strong man also echoed.

Shen Mu bowed slightly and responded to everyone's greetings with a smile.

Yu Chengjun, the commander of the Futu Army stationed in Zhiyang City, was also a peak king-level existence. He took the initiative to talk to Shen Mu. He was wearing a silver battle armor and exuded a vast wave of energy.

"Brother Yuanyuan, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am the Yucheng Army Commander of the Futu Army stationed in Zhiyang City." Yucheng Army Commander bowed slightly.

"Military Commander Yucheng, I have long admired you." Shen Mu replied.

Army Commander Yucheng continued, "Brother Yuanyuan, my Futu Army comes from the Futu Ancient Clan, one of the five ancient clans. I wonder if Brother Yuanyuan is willing to join my Futu Army?"

Although the five ancient clans are high above everyone else and do not get involved in the struggles of many forces in the world, they are not absolutely detached from it.

For example, the Maha ancient tribe would cultivate a force similar to the Lingxin Pavilion, or the Futu ancient tribe might do the same, with a Futu army in almost every big city.

"So Army Commander Yucheng comes from one of the five ancient clans. I'm so sorry for that." Shen Mu simply ignored the invitation and said with a smile.

Army Commander Yucheng smiled slightly, still politely saying, "Brother Qiyuan, thank you for your courtesy. With your strength, you will surely make a name for yourself in the world in the future."

At this time, the owner of the Shenji Tavern in Zhiyang City also came over. He was wearing a black robe, with a stern face and deep eyes. He practiced some powerful pupil technique.

"Brother Qiyuan, I am Mo Qiancheng, the owner of the Shenji Tavern in Zhiyang City." The Demon Tavern Master bowed slightly.

"So you are the Master of the Demon Pavilion. I have heard of you for a long time." Shen Mu replied.

The Demon Pavilion Master said with a smile: "Brother Yuanyuan is now very famous in Zhiyang City. A master like you is bound to affect the struggles among the many forces in Zhiyang City. You must have received many invitations, right?"

Shen Mu shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to get involved in the struggles between these forces, but there were some things that he really couldn't do anything about.

"Master, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary practitioner and don't want to get involved in power struggles." Shen Mu said.

The Demon Pavilion Master smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, in this world, sometimes it's not about whether you want to participate or not, but you have to participate."

"However, the Shenji Tavern has always remained neutral and will not favor any party. If Brother Yuanyuan needs it, the Shenji Tavern can provide you with some information."

Shen Mu's heart moved. Intelligence was very important to him. In this strange world, he needed to know more information in order to survive better.

"Thank you, Master. If I need anything, I will definitely look for the Shenji Tavern." Shen Mu said.

Si Xuankong also took the initiative to come over and talk to Shen Mu. His eyes were full of admiration for Shen Mu. He didn't expect that a seriously injured person he picked up casually would be so powerful.

"Brother Qiyuan, you are now very successful. The top kings from all sides treat you warmly." Si Xuankong said with envy.

Shen Mu smiled slightly and said, "If the Second Young Master can achieve the peak of the King level, I'm afraid he will be more glorious than me, an ascender."

Si Xuankong's face turned bitter, and then he suddenly said, "Brother Yuanyuan, I want to become your disciple, is that ok?"

Shen Mu was a little surprised, but when he first came to this world, Si Xuankong did help him.

"Second Young Master, do you really want to take me as your master?" Shen Mu asked.

Si Xuankong nodded quickly and said, "Teacher, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

Shen Mu finally accepted the gift. Having Si Xuankong as his disciple did make things much easier for him.

His brother Si Xuanxu, who was watching this scene from a distance, nodded slightly in approval.

"It is not an insult to the Xuan Clan of Zhiyang City for my second brother to take a master like Qiyuan as his teacher. Moreover, considering Qiyuan's strength, it is really inappropriate for him to be just a retainer."

While Shen Mu was having the banquet, in a quiet room deep in the forbidden area of ​​Si Xuan clan's territory.

A middle-aged man with a strong aura suddenly opened his eyes. The mere burst of his aura caused the surrounding space and time to begin to collapse slightly.

"Give me, wake up!"

With a loud shout, the flame of the Void Dao rose from the middle-aged man's body, tempering his blood and wanting to go further.

This breakthrough method is called the Blood Drying Method. Even if you succeed in breaking through, it will be difficult to make further progress in the future.

But if the breakthrough fails, then Xue Luo Ku may collapse and fall to a lower realm.

As time passed, vast waves spread out from the middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was none other than Si Xuan Hongdu, the head of the Si Xuan family in Zhiyang City and the father of the Si Xuankong brothers.

……

A few days later, deep in the Si Xuan clan’s territory, there was a towering temple.

The hall is spacious and bright, and the walls are inlaid with precious gems, emitting a soft light.

Si Xuanhong, who was sitting at the head seat in the hall, had a solemn expression on his face, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"This is what happened. I failed to break through in seclusion this time. My bloodline collapsed and I can only barely maintain the realm of God Emperor. You all should be prepared."

On both sides of the hall, Si Xuanxu, Si Xuanzhentian and the three elders emitting the aura of the God Emperor looked at each other, and each of them had an ugly expression on their face.

As for Si Xuankong, he is too young and has not yet reached the king level, so he is not qualified to know such secrets.

One of the elders said, "This matter must not be known to outsiders, otherwise the Si Xuan clan of Zhiyang City will probably face a catastrophic disaster."

Si Xuanxu, Si Xuanzhentian and the three clan elders had the same first reaction, which was to block the news first.

Si Xuanxu frowned and said, "Father, we must find a way to restore your realm as soon as possible. If we keep it a secret, it will be exposed one day."

Si Xuan Zhentian also nodded and said, "Big Cub is right. Concealing things is not the solution to the problem after all."

The three clan elders had similar reactions. They had to find a way to obtain some precious treasures of the God Emperor level, so that there would be hope of restoring the fighting power of Si Xuanhong, who had failed to break through.

Although Si Xuan Zhentian and the three clan elders are all at the level of God Emperors, they are only in the early stage of God Emperors. They are at the same realm as the outsider worshiper Lei Lao, and they cannot guard the family business of Zhiyang City at all.

You should know that Zhiyang City is not a small territory, it is a medium-sized city. Only a strong man in the middle stage of the Divine Emperor is qualified to own such a large territory.

At this time, in a corner of Zhiyang City, in Si Xuankong's manor.

Shen Mu was meditating in his own residence, trying to comprehend the psychological rules of this world.

"The rules of the mind in this world are different from what I have understood before. They are chaotic and violent, but extremely powerful."

"It seems that I still need to comprehend the ultimate truth of the mind in this world before I can perfect the Origin Heart Sutra that I created before."

"Unfortunately, the Si Xuan clan does not have the ultimate secret of the Heart-Appearance Dao. Perhaps the main sect of the Si Xuan clan has it, but it cannot obtain it."

"Go ask that little fellow Si Xuankong. I still don't know enough about this world."

Soon, Shen Mu arrived at Si Xuankong's courtyard.

At this time, Si Xuankong was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard practicing. The sunlight shone on him, as if he was coated with a layer of gold.

When he saw Shen Mu coming, Si Xuankong's face immediately showed surprise. He quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Teacher, why are you here?" Si Xuankong's tone was full of surprise.

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Do you know where to obtain the king-level peak secrets of the Heart and Soul Dao?"

Si Xuankong looked confused. He frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Teacher, I know very little about the affairs of the Ascended Ones, and I have never heard of the secrets of the Heart and Soul. But..."

"But what?"

Si Xuankong said quickly: "When you were fighting with the head of Lingxin Pavilion, the head of the Zhiyang City branch of Shenji Tavern was watching the fight."

"The Shenji Tavern is different from the peripheral forces of the five ancient clans such as the Lingxin Pavilion. It is a major force opened up by the most mysterious imperial clan strongmen. It is a huge intelligence organization that spreads throughout the world."

"Perhaps you could go to the Shen Ji Tavern and have a look. You might be able to find the secret information you want there."

Shen Mu nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll go to the Shenji Tavern, and don't be lazy. If you don't become a king, I can't give you any advice."

"Teacher, don't worry. I will definitely be able to make a breakthrough in five years at most!"

……

Soon, Shen Mu arrived at the southwest corner of Zhiyang City, where there was a deserted tavern.

But occasionally there were figures coming and going, and each of them exuded the aura of at least the late king level.

"Master Origin?"

As soon as Shen Mu walked into the tavern, he was recognized by the waiter, who quickly bowed to Shen Mu.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will inform the museum owner right away."

Shen Mu smiled and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Soon, the Demon Pavilion Master dressed in a purple robe walked out. There was a mysterious aura lingering around him, and his pupils emitted a special glow.

"Brother Qiyuan, I wonder what brings you to the Shenji Tavern today?" The Demon Tavern Master said with a slight bow.

Shen Mu replied, "Master of the Demon Pavilion, I want to find the secrets of the Way of Heart and the Way of Soul. I wonder if the Shenji Tavern has any relevant information?"

The Demon Pavilion Master looked surprised and said, "Brother Yuanyuan, there are not many practitioners of these two paths. It should be said that they are very rare."

"It is so rare that among the ascenders in the entire universe, almost no one practices it."

"Among the ascenders in the entire universe over the endless years, there are those who practiced the Soul Path, but none of them achieved the king level through the Soul Path. However, there are two king-level peak ascenders in the Heart Path."

Shen Mu did have some understanding of this. There is definitely no ultimate realm of the soul. He was mainly asking about the mind and the infinite.

"Master Demon, how many Ascendants are there who specialize in the Infinite Great Dao?"

The Demon Pavilion Master still spoke frankly, saying: "Not many. In the entire universe, there are eleven Infinite Dao Ascendants. Among them, eight have achieved the peak of the King level, and two have achieved the Divine Emperor level."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu hurriedly asked, "Master of the Demon Pavilion, do you know how to obtain the unique skills created by these two God Emperors?"

The Demon Pavilion Master said: "Of these two infinite divine emperors, one has joined the Emperor Clan, and the other has joined the Beginningless Ancient Clan."

"If Brother Yuanyuan is willing to pledge allegiance to the Imperial Clan, I can report the information to the head office of the Shenji Tavern and give Brother Yuanyuan a chance to take the test. As long as he passes, he will be able to join the Imperial Clan."

"When the time comes, you only need to accumulate some contributions, and you can exchange them for the infinite Dao secrets of the Divine Emperor level."

Shen Mu shook his head helplessly and said, "Master Demon Pavilion, I don't want to join any forces. Is there any other possibility to obtain the infinite Dao secrets of the Divine Emperor level?"
