Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 452 First Attempt at Becoming a God
Within the vast void, the secret realm of the Hundred Fruit Garden unfolds, enveloping all directions.

Transforming into a spirit master, Jiang Chen sat in the void, constantly activating the power of the secret realm. As time passed, under the guidance of the Spirit Locking and Returning to Origin Array, the Incense Divine Realm continued to approach the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm.

The Incense Sacred Realm is the foundation of a deity, embodying the deity's life. With the complete death of the Bewitching Goddess, the Incense Sacred Realm was actually on the verge of collapse, but Jiang Chen forcibly stabilized it.

"The Incense God Realm is unique in nature. If we can devour it, it might be a good thing for the Hundred Fruit Garden Secret Realm."

“Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to do this. After all, the Incense God Realm has a very distinct personal mark, and it is difficult for outsiders to get involved. However, I swallowed the remnant soul of the Bewitching Goddess, so I can completely simulate the aura of the Bewitching Goddess. This undoubtedly reduces a lot of obstacles for me.”

"Of course, the most important thing is the true meaning of cultivating the divine path left behind by the Goddess of Bewitching Heart. It contains the deepest secret of this Incense Divine Realm. As long as I refine that true meaning, this Incense Divine Realm will no longer hold any secrets for me."

"If we add the God-usurping Technique, then it's entirely possible to devour this divine realm."

Looking down at the divine realm, various thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

After refining the remnant soul of the Bewitching Goddess, Jiang Chen set his sights on her divine realm.

For a third-tier Azure Register deity, opening up a divine realm and entrusting their life to it is a crucial step, comparable to a cultivator in the Immortal Dao raising their Purple Mansion and condensing their precious body. Only by taking this step can a deity truly enter the third tier.

However, under normal circumstances, opening up a divine realm requires a lot of time to refine, and one wrong step could lead to the failure of all previous efforts. It is by no means an easy task, but having a reference would make it much simpler.

Given the special nature of the Spirit Lord, as long as it can truly devour the Incense Divine Realm left behind by the Bewitching Goddess and transform it into a part of its own body, then the Incense Divine Realm will truly hold no secrets for it; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it knows it inside and out.

He could then use this as a foundation to establish his own sacred realm.

"The devouring of the Incense God Realm is not something that can be accomplished in a day. Before that, I still need the fundamental authority of the Bewitching Goddess."

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chen began to circulate the God-Changing Technique.

This method is truly profound, but it is not difficult to comprehend. It is precisely because of this that he has successfully mastered this secret method after spending some time on it.

A faint purple aura filled the air, and as Jiang Chen continued to circulate his secret technique, the purple light illuminated the sky.

It was at this moment that Jiang Chen, with a wave of his sleeve, took out the Illusionary Sea Floating Life Bell, a divine artifact. As the natal artifact carefully nurtured by the Bewitching Goddess, the Illusionary Sea Floating Life Bell naturally carried part of the Bewitching Goddess's authority, making it a perfect target for the God-usurping Technique to plunder.

Of course, besides the Illusionary Sea Floating Life Bell, the Incense Divine Realm can also play a similar role. However, in that case, the Incense Divine Realm would be truly useless, which is something Jiang Chen is unwilling to see. In addition, because the Incense Divine Realm is filled with fervent faith, it is far more difficult to plunder than a divine artifact.

With Jiang Chen's current mastery of the God-Changing Technique, he may not be able to succeed, and if he fails, it could very well trigger a chain reaction.

At a certain moment, when the time was right, the purple light behind Jiang Chen gradually subsided.

"Take it."

Jiang Chen opened his mouth and swallowed all the purple light in the sky, then exhaled a breath of purple energy.

Whoosh, let the purple aura rise, like dragons and snakes swimming, instantly enveloping the Illusory Sea Floating Life Bell.

The clear sound of bells rang out in the void. In that instant, under the influence of the purple energy, the Illusionary Sea Floating Life Bell began to revive almost instinctively. However, it was ultimately just an inanimate object and would not put up any effective resistance without anyone in control of it.

In just a short while, under the purple aura, the seven-colored glazed light around the Illusionary Sea Floating Bell gradually dimmed, losing its previous divine power.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen felt reassured and continued to activate the God-Turning Technique.

Time passed, and after an unknown amount of time, the sound of the Illusionary Sea Bell completely disappeared, leaving the entire void silent. Suddenly, a cracking sound broke the tranquility, shattering the peace.

Noticing this change, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

"It's done."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the Illusionary Sea Floating Life Bell. Under his gaze, fine cracks appeared on the glass-like surface of the bell, resembling a piece of shattered porcelain.

It was at this moment that a dreamlike, seven-colored spiritual light emerged from the body of the Illusionary Sea Floating Life Bell. It reflected various illusions, touched people's hearts, and stirred up the deepest desires in people's hearts.

"Is this the power to confuse the mind?"

A seven-colored light was reflected in his dark eyes, and Jiang Chen knew that this was what he wanted.

It was at this moment that the Illusionary Sea Floating Life Bell shattered completely, turning into fragments and withering away. The ball of seven-colored spiritual light then transformed into a swimming fish and disappeared completely.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen frowned slightly. The authority of the gods was indeed a very special thing.

"Come!"

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen activated the secret technique once more.

In that instant, the purple energy reversed, directly returning to Jiang Chen's body with its seven-colored spiritual light.

With a hum, the authority entered his body, and Jiang Chen immediately suppressed it, sealing it within the Spirit Master's body.

“A fragmented power of deception is not complete.”

Having completed the seal, Jiang Chen looked inward and gazed at the Bewitching Authority that reflected seven-colored light, lost in thought.

He was not surprised by this result. First, his own mastery of the art of usurping gods was not high. It was already good that he was able to successfully plunder it. To plunder it completely was almost impossible. Second, the divine artifact was not the god itself. The authority it contained was illusory in nature. It was just a reflection of the power of the god. It was unrealistic to obtain complete authority with it.

"The true and real authority lies within the divine registers of the gods, but it is not so easy to seize it. When the gods fall, the divine registers will shatter and return to nothingness."

"To seize complete authority, one must forcibly take it while the god is alive, which is extremely difficult. A living god and a divine artifact that is inanimate are not the same thing at all. I simply cannot do that now."

"However, judging from the profoundness of the inheritance of the God-Changing Technique, if I can cultivate this technique to perfection, then I might really be able to do such a thing. It's just that this technique is easy to get started with, but I have no idea how to go further."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen pulled himself out of his thoughts.

The incompleteness of the power of bewitching mind was not a big problem for him, since he mainly used it as a pretext to seize the power, rather than valuing the power of bewitching mind itself.

"With the power of bewitching the mind in his possession, the biggest obstacle for the Spirit Lord to devour the Incense God Realm is gone. What follows is just a matter of time."

"Once the divine realm is devoured and the true meaning left behind by the Bewitching Goddess is digested, the Spirit Lord may be able to open the door to the third-order divine path."

A thought suddenly arose in Jiang Chen's heart: he wanted to leave.
