I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 171 Heavenly Palace
"Slow down, Wan'er..."

"Crack!"

"That shot, cut!"

Under countless lights and cameras, Xiao Wuji climbed off Nangong Wan and lay back on the bed. Immediately, Xiao Wu and Tang Yuehua came over to help him and Nangong Wan clean their bodies.

A moment later, the director of the scene, "Madam Mingzhu," also knelt beside Xiao Wuji with her assistant, "Tian Mi," and said in a complaining tone:
"Nangong Wan's acting is really bad. This scene was filmed more than twenty times, and it's still just so-so."

"Fortunately, she only needs two more shots to wrap up filming!"

Xiao Wuji rolled over, pinning Tian Mi beneath him, and said, "It's alright, just consider it helping me familiarize myself with the dual cultivation techniques of the Human Desire Path!"

After receiving the inheritance of the Way of Human Desire, Xiao Wuji experimented on various women, and the results astonished him.

Although he did not possess the seed of the secret realm technique and could not cultivate the techniques within, the supernatural abilities recorded within were enough to astound Xiao Wuji.

Compared to the dual cultivation techniques of the Human Desire Path, the dual cultivation techniques he collected in this world were simply trash. It can only be said that they were worthy of being created by Emperor Hengyu (his friend).

Most importantly, these secret techniques do not cause the magical power of both practitioners to become weak; in fact, they help to solidify their foundation.

Of course, within the inherited methods of the Human Desire Path, there are even more outrageous cultivation techniques, such as: the technique of absorbing the essence of another person's special constitution; the Puppet Technique, which can refine living people into dual cultivation puppets with sentience; and even a technique where the more people involved, the faster the cultivation speed, the only consequence of which is that the magical power becomes unstable and impure, requiring time to refine it again.

What Xiao Wuji regrets is that when he transmigrated, the outcasts of the Human Desire Path had already taken the Goddess Furnace away, leaving him with no chance to see it.

In other words, he didn't have the seed of the secret realm technique within him, so he couldn't open up the sea of ​​suffering at all. Otherwise, he would definitely have tried the mystery of this technique.

Having eaten his fill, Xiao Wuji suddenly looked up at Madam Mingzhu and asked, "Have you arranged the schedule for the rest of the time?"

"It's all arranged!"

Madam Mingzhu said confidently, "Next month, it will be 'Three Generations Under One Roof' starring A Yin, A Rou, Xiao Wu, and Tang Wutong."

"The month after next, there will be 'The Women of the Zhu Family' starring Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun."

"The month after next, there will be a drama called 'The Empress' starring Zhao Ji, Zhao Feiyan, Honglian, Yanfei, and other empresses, empress dowagers, princesses, and crown princesses."

"I am still editing the remaining 'The Dancing Girl' and 'The Kingdom of Women,' and I expect to finish them within three working days!"

"Haha, Mingzhu, you're such a great director! Just hearing your name makes me excited!"

Xiao Wuji was extremely satisfied with Mingzhu's arrangement. Although he was only a supporting character in these dramas, he only needed to play himself and relax while gaining cultivation.

"what--"

A seductive moan attracted everyone's attention. Xiao Wuji turned around and saw that Nangong Wan had used a low-level Yellow Rank water attribute fighting technique to hit Xiao Wu's face. The damage was not great, but the insult was extremely strong.

A nameless fire rose in Xiao Wu's heart. She could tolerate being bullied by Xiao Wuji all the time, but now she was being bullied by this female slave. Unable to bear it any longer, she used her face to block the enemy's fountain.

Seeing the intense battle between the two, Xiao Wuji had a sudden inspiration and came up with a good idea.

"Mingzhu, let's write another script, let's call it 'The Female Lead'."

……

As the days went by, Xiao Wuji continued to use the secret techniques of the Human Desire Path to help his female cultivators improve their strength.

The second primordial spirit finally brought the entire cultivation world under its control four hundred years after Xiang Zhili and the others ascended. Even if there were any who managed to escape, they were merely the only sane madmen and could easily be caught or killed.

After unifying the cultivation world, Xiao Wuji issued his first imperial decree: "Build a Heavenly Palace and transmit the divine techniques."

"Drive away the demonic beasts and build a beast prison!"

"Sculpt statues of gods! Gather incense offerings!"

"To house the treasures of the nine provinces in the Heavenly Palace!"

"Gather the incense offerings of all people at the statue of the god!"

With the decree issued, city god temples were built one after another. The fierce ghosts and evil spirits that originally acted as accomplices to evil in the southern lands were transformed into city gods in various cities, responsible for managing the area of ​​a city and regularly offering the purest power of faith to the heavenly palace.

They gathered all the cultivation methods in the world into the Heavenly Palace and then passed down various techniques for invoking deities. To practice these techniques, one must first find the Heavenly Palace to receive ordination and be bestowed with an image of a celestial deity.

One must offer incense and pray daily. When the statue becomes spiritually connected, it can be used to issue various divine decrees and summon gods from all walks of life to possess one's body.

Xiao Wuji ordered cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan to become ghost cultivators, and then seal them among many divine statues. He took one-tenth of the incense offerings to extend their lifespan in the underworld, and submitted nine-tenths of the incense offerings to the Heavenly Palace.

He then personally led his many cultivators to drive the demonic beasts from all over the country into the more than one hundred beast prisons he built. He restricted their movement with formations and dispatched special personnel to harvest demonic beast materials and spiritual herbs regularly.

Looking at the Tiangong Group, which was gradually getting back on track, Xiao Wuji couldn't help but laugh at himself, "Tsk, using evil spirits to raise all living beings, it's really getting more and more like the style of a great demon!"

……

Kunwu Mountain, Refining Hall.

Xiao Wuji planned to separate a wisp of his primordial spirit and throw it into the Myriad Zhang Red Dust Furnace.

This furnace was originally a mid-grade Dao artifact, and now that it has lost its artifact spirit, it is naturally capable of carrying a fragment of a soul. He can completely refine it into his own spiritual treasure avatar.

Fang Han's Blood Night King was forged using this method. It is both an external avatar and a Dao artifact.

After using his divided soul as the spirit of the artifact, Xiao Wuji was not only able to control the artifact as if it were his own arm, but also obtained a powerful avatar.

"Sigh, it's going to damage my primordial spirit again, but compared to a Dao artifact alchemy furnace, what is a mere wisp of primordial spirit!"

Even if Xiao Wuji didn't have the visualization method now, and his primordial spirit was constantly growing, it would still be extremely worthwhile to part with a wisp of his primordial spirit for this Dao artifact.

After a sharp pain, Xiao Wuji manipulated a wisp of his primordial spirit into the alchemy furnace and began to slowly refine it.

Originally, Xiao Wuji did not plan to rush into refining the Dharma Body, since he was not in a hurry to use this Dao artifact. However, as he collected more and more faith over the past two years, he also began to consider refining the artifact.

The power of faith, also known as incense or the power of vows, is a versatile substance that is needed for cultivating supernatural powers and crafting magical artifacts.

His Great Origin Technique also requires this item. But he can't even support one sea of ​​consciousness anymore, so what good would it do to open up nine more? It's better to use it for weapon crafting.

Moreover, powerful magical artifacts ultimately require the condensation of willpower. Whether it's Fang Han's Yellow Springs Map, the Eight-Part Pagoda, the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, the Earthly Emperor's Book, or the Human Emperor's Brush, they all ultimately undergo transformation by relying on willpower.

But how could an ordinary vessel be worthy of such precious willpower? Even the Myriad Dust Furnace is somewhat unworthy, since even if this cauldron has a spirit, it is not the original kind, and it is estimated that it will not grow to that level in the future.

However, this was already the best magic weapon he possessed. Moreover, the Six Desires and Mortal World Array within this cauldron was extremely useful for his cultivation of mental strength.
