Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 417 To be with the stars, to shine with the universe

The cultivation site was enveloped in a light golden light curtain.

Here, the concept of time is almost lost.

Behind Yinshan Mountain.

The creature that was originally dressed in black Buddhist robes has long since vanished without a trace.

Jiang Jian stood alone here, repeatedly studying and comprehending the essence of the lines.

I do not know how long it has been.

Jiang Jian finally raised his eyes, his expression calm.

He stretched out his pale palm and made a vague gesture in front of him.

this moment.

The surrounding void seemed to fall silent.

A narrow, mirror-like rainbow, radiating white light, dazzling and brilliance, appeared from nothingness.

In silence.

This blazing white rainbow light suddenly spread out, refracted and overlapped, transforming into thousands of blazing light shadows that filled the heavens and earth!
Click!

The illusory Yinshan Mountain shattered and shattered in an instant!

In house number 1.

Jiang Jian suddenly opened his eyes, and a pale white halo rippled around him, reflecting like a snowy mirror and a rainbow, extremely beautiful!
"Seven days have already passed."

Jiang calmed himself down and glanced at the time.

The training grounds are indeed renowned and live up to their reputation.

Seven days.

He had cultivated the "clear mirror and still water" supernatural power to a completely new level!

This supernatural power was personally transmitted by the Venerable Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

According to this venerable Bodhisattva.

This supernatural power was obtained from the depths of the ocean before he attained enlightenment.

If one cultivates to a profound level...

It allows the spirit to enter the mirror, transforming reality into illusion.

If one were to participate in the workings of creation.

Even if countless calamities befall one, one can still avoid reincarnation.

Whether used for offense or defense, it has an extremely powerful effect.

At this moment.

There are only ten days left until the end of the training phase.

The "Mirror of Still Water" supernatural power alone took up a good portion of the time.

However, Jiang Jianxin was quite satisfied with the results of this cultivation.

Seven days passed.

The cultivation of spiritual essence in the third realm also did not stop.

More than a dozen fragments of the barrier in the inner sea of ​​the shrine have already melted away!
The spiritual energy of the Divine Palace Realm is now much stronger than it was at the beginning, reaching an unimaginably terrifying level!
"Owner!"

In the corner of the room, Qingfeng noticed that Jiang Jian had woken up, and his tone was somewhat surprised.

Previously.

Jiang Jian had been meditating with his eyes closed.

Its body was always surrounded by a white aura.

Until recently, these indistinct lines of divine charm gradually faded away.

next second.

Jiang turned his head and looked at the paper figure.

Deep within its pupils, there lingering divine aura.

As his gaze fell upon them.

These auras suddenly condensed, transforming into a blazing white stream that swept towards the gentle breeze!

"Owner!"

Qingfeng's body trembled as he sensed a terrifying crisis that could be fatal, and his expression turned horrified!

Wherever the blazing white mirror stream passed, the pale gold light curtain was torn apart, and even the dark yellow air currents crashing down from above showed signs of stopping!
Mingyue, who was standing to the side, also opened her eyes, and her expression changed drastically!
in a blink.

That divine stream of light had already swept up in front of Qingfeng!

Center of the room.

Jiang frowned slightly and said softly, "Disperse."

Click!

The blazing white light that had been annihilating everything suddenly stopped.

Then, it shattered into pieces, like glass breaking apart.

It transformed into countless points of light, vanishing without a trace.

These mirror-like rainbows are remnants of the divine lines that remained during his cultivation of supernatural powers.

"Master, your strength is incredible!"

Qingfeng's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with horror!
Having just narrowly escaped death, it disregarded its own safety and instead noticed the terrifying increase in Jiang Jian's strength, which made it pale with shock!
Mingyue, who was standing next to her, also looked surprised after she came to her senses.

Before coming to the moon.

Jiang Jian's cultivation level was only at the initial stage of entering the Divine Palace.

Although he displayed exceptional combat power during the selection process, defeating peerless geniuses such as Fei Yu and Li Wang one after another.

It can be seen from the perspective of a gentle breeze and a bright moon.

Jiang Jian's cultivation level still showed signs of progress.

but.

Seven days passed.

The aura emanating from Jiang Jian, and the terrifying spiritual power displayed in his every move.

All of these things demonstrate that...

At this moment, Jiang Jian had not only completely stabilized his cultivation at the Divine Palace Realm.

His spiritual cultivation in the third realm also increased exponentially, rising to a level that was completely invisible!
"How is your cultivation progressing, you two?"

Jiang Jian looked at the two paper figures and asked.

Mingyue was the first to react, stepping forward respectfully and saying, "Master, I used three volumes of Earth Qi Books, increasing my demonic power by forty percent!"

As Origami Shinjun's flagship product.

The roles of Mingyue and Qingfeng were originally intended to be protective paper figures, but their actual combat power is extremely strong.

Seven days passed.

Its original demonic power actually increased by 40%.

If this were outside the world, it would take at least a hundred years of arduous cultivation to reach this level!
next to.

Not to be outdone, Qingfeng said proudly, "Master, I used four volumes of Earth Qi Books, which increased my demonic power by more than half!"

Although they are both paper figures.

However, their natural talents and aptitudes also differ.

Qingfeng's cultivation speed is definitely considered extremely fast among monsters of the same level!

While Mingyue's cultivation efficiency is slower, it has far more unpredictable methods than Qingfeng.

Seeing Jiang Jian cultivating supernatural powers inspired it, so it began to cultivate and refine its own demonic arts.

It is for this reason.

Its original demonic power only increased by 40%.

"good."

Jiang nodded.

Seeing that their efforts had been recognized, Qingfeng and Mingyue exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of joy.

The desire to continue spiritual practice became increasingly urgent.

"Master, there is one more thing I need to do."

At this moment, Mingyue suddenly thought of something, and her expression became serious.

“When Master was in seclusion, that thing was acting strangely. I was afraid of delaying Master’s cultivation, so I never dared to disturb it.”

It raised its arm and pointed to the top of the house, where a layer of inconspicuous blue light shone.

The blue light flickered incessantly, lingering within the layers of the building's array, never dissipating.

"Those are the memory modules I left behind."

Jiang looked up, her expression slightly hardening.

The memory of “厘” hides too many secrets.

Jiang Jian forcibly memorized many things during the simulation.

However, shortly before Li died, in the final stage of his life, there was an important scene that was obscured by mist and could not be viewed at all.

Time was of the essence, and the simulation was about to end.

Seeing that there was no time to think of another way, Jiang had no choice but to expend a huge amount of divine soul power to activate the "Avoid Death and Prolong Life" divine power.

He forcibly restored and preserved the memory modules that had been used by the formation, were about to dissipate, but which he had never seen.

"Avoiding death and prolonging life" can cause living beings to age rapidly and accelerate the process of things.

However, if the spirit is written in reverse and its energy is activated in the opposite direction, things can be restored in the same way.

However, the cost of using it in reverse is much higher than that of normal activation, and it also has many limitations.

Given Jiang Jian's current mastery of "avoiding death and prolonging life," there are too many things that cannot be used in reverse.

Even if it is barely successful, only a small part can be restored, and there are extremely strict time limits.

Its enormous cost is also difficult for people to bear.

When the Jade Capital Lord first imparted this supernatural power, he only mentioned it briefly and did not teach it in detail.

Reverse-driven mechanisms are really too useless.

Even beings at the Spirit Platform Realm who possess this divine power hold this view.

after all.

Its main function is not to "avoid death and prolong life".

Those truly powerful supernatural abilities that can reverse time and possess immense power are difficult even for beings at the Spirit Platform Realm to come into contact with.

just.

In the Mercury simulation, Jiang Jian still chose to try it himself.

At the moment the simulation ended, the reversed writing of Shenyun successfully activated the "avoiding death and prolonging life" technique.

This also leads to.

A small memory module has reappeared on the array of house number 1.

This is the last bit of memory in "Li's" life, which Jiang Jian forcibly re-condensed using the Fangcun Mountain Illusionary Realm Divine Power, restoring it to its unused state.

It was the appearance of this item that caused panic among inspectors like Wang Anran, who feared that something unexpected might happen and implicate them.

The person in charge of this place, Xu Qingxian, a peerless genius of the Divine Platform Realm, has a past relationship with the Jade Capital Lord.

He was not unfamiliar with the concept of "avoiding death and prolonging life".

With Xu Qingxian's keen intellect, he could naturally deduce that Jiang Jianzheng had used this supernatural power to successfully intercept a small portion of the memory module.

This is also why he personally ordered that inspectors such as Wang Anran be prohibited from interfering with House No. 1 without authorization.

Xu Qingxian had no idea what kind of memories Jiang Jian had retained.

However, according to the preparation rules.

Mercury simulation is related to pre-battle preparations for operational plans.

Apart from the selected star executor, no one else is allowed to access their memory modules.

Xu Qingxian didn't have that much curiosity, nor did he need to go to Mercury to carry out the battle plan.

therefore.

He chose not to interfere at all.

Instead, they let Jiang Jian handle it himself.

In his opinion.

As the "Ziwei" star position, Jiang Jian is also the primary executor of the battle plan, and the responsibilities he needs to bear are heavier than those of any other planner.

Since Jiang Jian chose to use his supernatural powers to condense the memory module, he must have his own reasons.

Unless the situation gets out of control, Xu Qingxian will not easily interfere with the matter of House No. 1.

"Owner."

At the same time, Mingyue's gaze turned solemn as she continued speaking.

"At that time, the blue light kept flashing, and a face could be vaguely seen on it, staring at you."

"But when I looked closely, the face disappeared again, which was really very strange."

Hearing Mingyue's words.

Qingfeng snorted, looked up at the blue light, and sneered, "Could it be that I can see ghosts?"

As it spoke, it turned to look at Jiang Jian, "Master, please let me take action and tear it off!"

Before Jiang Jian could speak.

Mingyue shrugged and said, "I've already tried it. This thing is stuck in the house's formation and can't be removed at all."

While the two were talking.

Jiang remained silent, gazing quietly at the layer of blue light.

As my thoughts wandered, many speculations arose in my mind.

My own experience in Mercury Hatojo City from the perspective of "li".

Like a revolving lantern, scene after scene appeared clearly.

In 2970, the Jiuchang Star Tower was officially completed.

At this time, Li, as the chief designer of the Jiuchang Star Tower, already had numerous honors and extremely high prestige.

After its completion, the Jiuchang Star Tower, along with the other eight Wanzhong Star Towers, was officially put into use by Mercury.

Its subsequent maintenance is also very complex, requiring a lot of manpower and resources to keep it running normally.

However, there are rules and regulations to follow in all of these matters.

As long as you follow the steps, you won't make mistakes.

In this situation.

The once high-ranking and powerful "li" (厘) has become increasingly less effective.

Li could sense that even after the Star Tower was completed, he still held a great deal of power, which attracted many hostile gazes.

He was very clear about the principle of self-preservation.

One night, after communicating with the master of the Star Tower, Li chose to relinquish his authority over the Star Tower, retreat to the background, and no longer interfere in the affairs of the Star Tower.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, many powerful and influential families in Jiuchang City used various means to rush in and divide up this behemoth.

Li could not change these things, so she could only stand by and watch. She and Diwu lived a secluded life, which was simple but very happy.

The story seems to have stopped at this moment.

Jiang Jian's simulated memories came to an abrupt end.

The following scenes were completely obscured by fog and could not be seen at all.

Jiang Jianwei was the only one who knew this.

It won't be long before Li truly dies.

because.

After he pressed fast forward.

The simulation ended very quickly.

Jiang Jianxin had an extremely strong intuition.

The last thing Li experienced in her life was likely to be very important.

It's so important that it could affect one's own battle plans!
This is why Jiang Jian spared no expense and expended a huge amount of divine soul energy to reassemble this last small memory module.

"How can I see this memory?"

"Request to activate the room formation, reload the module, and re-enter the simulation?"

After some thought, Jiang Jian shook his head.

If I were to apply to the patrol inspector to enter the simulation again, it would definitely delay my cultivation.

The most important thing is.

Based on your own judgment.

This small memory module is likely unreadable by the room's array.

No matter how many times the simulation is performed.

If you were to enter it yourself, there's a very high chance that, just like before, all you'd see is fog, and you wouldn't get any useful information at all.

suddenly.

Jiang Jian suddenly raised his eyes and stared at the layer of blue light!

I don’t know when it started.

Its brilliance shimmered even more intensely!

Besides.

An even more eerie fluctuation emanated from it.

Neither the gentle breeze nor the bright moon noticed this fluctuation.

Only Jiang Jian, with the "demon-breaking" quality of the karmic fire, keenly noticed this subtle change.

"Old friend, let's make a deal."

The man's hoarse voice reached my ears.

Jiang saw that he was sitting on the ground, and his pupils contracted slightly.

This voice resounded from the deepest part of my heart.

and.

I am all too familiar with this voice.

This is the voice of "Li", the first designer of the Mercury Dove Star Tower!

"You're not dead."

Jiang Jian's gaze turned serious as he tried to communicate with the blue light using the essence of "avoiding death and prolonging life".

really.

This small memory module, after all, was re-coalesced through "avoiding death and prolonging life," and its divine essence spread without any hindrance.

"I am not a god, existing with the stars and shining with the universe."

Li's voice was hoarse, and he let out an unpleasant laugh, "I was already dead hundreds of years ago."

"The one you are talking to now is an artificial consciousness that I created by fusing the spiritual core with star array technology."

Hearing what Li said.

Jiang Jian was stunned, and for the first time, surprise appeared in his eyes.

Despite having gone through a Mercury simulation.

I have a good understanding of the star array technology of Li.

But Jiang Jian still hadn't expected it.

Li's research into star arrays, his mastery of spiritual techniques, and his attainments in divine technology have reached such an astonishing level.

Without anyone noticing, a piece of artificial consciousness can be left behind in advance using divine technology, without consuming any spiritual energy.

Such extraordinary abilities would be considered at the level of a great engineer, even on Saturn, Jupiter, or the entire solar system!

A master engineer, a master of divine technology.

This is a technological rank personally granted by Neptune, recognized by the eight planets of the solar system, and treated equally with beings in the Lingtai Realm.

To some extent.

For a planet.

A great engineer is even more precious than a True Monarch of the Spirit Platform Realm.

"You have witnessed my life, know the suffering I have endured, seen the joys and sorrows I have experienced, and are aware of my sensitivity and arrogance."

"It's not an exaggeration for me to call you an old friend."

Li spoke again, and her previously hoarse and indistinct voice became clearer.

"Actually, I realized a long time ago that the Earth had made arrangements around me, wanting to take my memories after I died, condense them into memory modules and take them away."

"But I have never interfered."

"And sometimes, they even help you cover it up."

Li smiled, her tone somewhat self-deprecating.

"because."

"I have more important things to do than your petty tricks."
