Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

The deep, endless void is filled with countless stars, and matter, energy, and space are presented in the most intuitive way.

The vast dimension of time runs through the void, and the interweaving of spacetime forms a semi-enclosed, enormous universe.

Beyond the universe, there seems to be an endless, vast void, with countless energies of different natures wandering and flowing.

The deep and endless Origin Sea is formed by the condensation of the laws of the universe, and gathers all imprints of time, space, life, energy and so on.

Deep within the Source Sea lie countless distorted spiritual consciousnesses.

That was the spiritual magnetic field of countless lives destroyed, which was gathered by the Source Sea and gradually formed a vast and distorted negative spiritual world...

The Qilin Divine Hero Mantra was elevated to the Primordial Chaos Realm, allowing Gao Wu to enter a state of enlightenment and establish a certain resonance with the entire universe.

His spirit extended infinitely, breathing and rising with the vast and endless universe. He saw the changes in space and time, the primordial sea at the center of the universe, and the abyss deep within the primordial sea.

In a daze, Gao Wu even saw several extremely powerful life radiances. These life radiances were hidden deep in the abyss. Their twisted spirituality was well-ordered and shone with the unique light of life and wisdom...

Gao Wu had a sudden realization: these were the demon gods. They were all born from the abyss, developed spirituality and wisdom, and became powerful beings who mastered the deepest rules of the universe.

Or perhaps these demons came from other dimensional universes, were corrupted by the abyss, and became what they are now.

Humans and all ordinary life forms undoubtedly belong to the category of positive energy-oriented life.

When life ends, the spiritual magnetic field would normally collapse as well. However, the universe possesses a source of power that can temporarily sustain the shattered spiritual magnetic field.

There is also a strange source sea that continuously gathers fragmented spiritual magnetic fields through an endless network of source power, eventually condensing into a negative energy abyss.

In this special state, Gao Wu could vaguely see the patterns that make up the universe, but he didn't know whether these patterns were formed naturally or guided by some kind of force.

He could only see a dozen or so exceptionally powerful beings, who had an extremely close connection with the abyss.

These must be powerful demon gods, but he dared not look at them too closely. He only vaguely sensed their existence through the mysterious resonance of the universe.

Originating from the mysterious incantation of the Qilin Divine Hero, Gao Wu had a sudden realization: if he were to use his spiritual power to focus on the Demon God, he would inevitably attract the Demon God's attention.

There's no need to provoke those demons right now; these powerful beings have a completely different concept of time than humans.

A few months might be equivalent to a few hours for a demon god.

But if he actively provokes the other party, the situation becomes completely different.

Gao Wu could see the Demon God forming a barrier in the abyss, which also had a huge impact on the Source Sea.

To enter the depths of the Source Sea and obtain even more powerful energy, one must pass through the Demon God Barrier.

So, are all the gods followers of the demon god?

The problem is that these demons have already ruled over humanity, so why don't they spread faith?
Such a complex and profound question is beyond the comprehension of even a god.

Despite being in a special state, Gao Wu obtained the answer almost instantly through his resonance with Yuan Hai.

The demons are troubled by negative life magnetic fields. They need positive life magnetic fields to counteract the negative life energy in order to maintain their stable life state.

If faith is spread, all believers will be infected by its spiritual imprint and enter a negative state.

The more followers they gathered at that time, the faster they died.

On the other hand, the demons also try every means to control, restrain, and protect humanity. They even try to prolong the lifespan of the human race as much as possible.

Just like a shepherd has to protect his flock, the more sheep he has, the happier he is.

Gao Wu immediately thought of a problem: the more humans there are, the more people die, and the stronger the accumulated negative energy becomes.

Logically speaking, with advanced technology and comfortable human life, people should lose their enthusiasm for procreation.

Humans occupy numerous star systems and possess nearly inexhaustible resources, yet they are still so willing to have children. It's likely that a demon god is guiding and exerting influence behind the scenes.

Maintaining the current social structure is probably the most beneficial thing for the demon god.

But this balance will eventually be broken, won't it?
Gao Wu was unclear about the exchange ratio between the living and the dead to maintain balance.

The number of deaths will obviously continue to increase. The larger the population, the more people will die.

If this continues, the balance will eventually be broken... What will become of the demon gods then? What will become of humanity?
Gao Wu immediately put down these thoughts. He was currently in the most mysterious state of cosmic resonance and could not think about these distant and complicated issues.

He must seize the opportunity to think through and understand the most important issues.

The four secret techniques of Dragon Tiger, Nine Sounds, Heavenly Escape, and Heavenly Net flowed through his mind. He had already mastered these four meditation methods and integrated them with his own martial arts, reaching the peak of level nineteen.

At this moment, he resonated with the universe, and the restrictions imposed on the Source Sea by demons and gods had no effect on him.

The four meditation methods are incomplete, especially the Dragon-Tiger Meditation Method, which only goes up to level nineteen.

Despite being in this state, Gao Wu was able to use the four meditation methods to verify each other, thus elevating the Dragon-Tiger Meditation Method to a higher level.

The so-called higher realm is actually the method of utilizing higher-level energy, the method of refining the spirit more efficiently, and the various methods of avoiding the pollution of the abyss. It is undoubtedly incredibly profound, having been continuously perfected by countless masters and powerful figures, and perhaps even with the assistance of demons.

However, these are just higher-level techniques; all the foundations have already been clearly explained in the basic meditation methods.

With his experience as a Martial Saint and his special condition, it wouldn't be difficult for Gao Wu to deduce a higher level of meditation technique.

The Four Gates Meditation Method was not at a high level, and Gao Wu felt that it was far from perfect after some deduction.

He thought of the Overlord Divine Spear, and the changes in the opponent's mental magnetic field and source power when piloting the Star Armor.

In his enlightened state, although he had only fought one battle with the Overlord Divine Spear, he clearly remembered all the corresponding changes in the opponent's spirit, body, source power, and star armor.

The Overlord Divine Spear Meditation Method is domineering and strong, and should be the Heavenly Pillar of the Kunlun School.

Pei Mingyue's meditation method also emerged, along with Li Xuanfang, Luo Xinghe, and Jiang Feihe.

These individuals all possessed very high levels of meditation skills; although they had not reached level twenty, their foundations and pathways were exceptionally clear and distinct.

Just like a towering tree, even if Gao Wu only saw the protruding, dragon-like roots on the ground and the thick, mountain-like trunk, he could deduce the true condition of the giant tree from it...

Different secret methods have different foundations. Although each master's meditation method is different, their foundations and origins are all the same.

By bringing together several meditation methods, one can deduce higher-level changes and, more fundamentally, the origin of meditation.

Various secret techniques intertwined, ultimately culminating in the phrase: harmony between heaven and man.

Through different personal mental magnetic field frequencies, different source forces are communicated, and through the star armor, different states of energy are transformed.

The essence is to put people first, continuously strengthen the spiritual magnetic field, and deepen the resonance with the source sea.

The laws of this universe are particularly lenient towards spiritual power; Old Qin needed to reach level nine to achieve oneness with the heavens. However, in this universe, one only needs to reach level sixteen and connect to the Source Sea to enter this state.

Of course, the two concepts of harmony between humanity and nature are still vastly different. They are only somewhat similar in their state of being.

Various meditation techniques flowed through Gao Wu's mind, mutually reinforcing his Nine Dragons Limitless Dao, allowing him to directly break through the level 20 barrier, and establishing a profound resonance between his spiritual magnetic field and the depths of the Source Sea.

At this moment, all meditation techniques coalesced into a connecting bridge, linking Yuan Hai with his Nine Dragons Limitless Path and his Yang God.

Gao Wu sensed endless energy, but he also sensed the decay, decay, destruction, and death behind that endless energy...

The Source Sea is the Abyss; the two are two sides of the same coin. Using the power of the Source Sea is using the power of the Abyss.

By constantly borrowing the power of the Source Sea, they are also gradually moving towards the abyss.

Gao Wu hesitated. Leaving his spiritual imprint in such a source sea might very well lead to entanglement with the abyss.

But he quickly realized that once his Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra reached the Primordial Chaos Realm, the spiritual imprint of this universe could be directly severed without having any substantial impact on him.

He needs to borrow the power of the Source Sea to reach his peak in his current state.

Gao Wu immediately made up his mind and left his spiritual imprint in the depths of the Source Sea through resonance.

The depths of the Source Sea are covered by the divine power of numerous demon gods. If a Star Master wants to leave a mark in the depths of the Source Sea, he must go through the channels left by the demon gods.

In other words, without the permission of the Demon God, a Star Master cannot advance to level 20.

All the gods have dealt with demons, or are their agents.

The so-called divine generals are actually the warriors of demon gods...

This time, Gao Wu advanced through the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, bypassing the Demon God's multiple seals on the Source Sea and directly obtaining the Source Sea's powerful strength.

Given enough time, his true colors would inevitably be revealed. However, Gao Wu didn't care much; he hadn't intended to stay here long anyway.

His spiritual imprint merged into the depths of the Source Sea, and he felt an endless, boundless power.

Such powerful energy far exceeds the limits of what the human body can withstand. His body simply cannot handle it.

Gao Wu knew he had to obtain the divine armor to unleash its power.

It was at this moment that the depths of the Source Sea surged, and Gao Wu sensed the change in Qi.

Qi resides in the deepest part of the Source Sea, which is the abyss...

Gao Wu was initially delighted, but then felt somewhat helpless. If his body went into the deepest part of the abyss, it would surely be corroded into ashes by the negative energy.

Without a physical body to protect it, the Yang spirit would absolutely not be able to withstand it.

He had just resonated with the universe, yet he couldn't sense the location of his physical body. Either his body was outside the universe, or it was hidden deep within the Origin Sea.

However, if he could obtain the divine armor, he could also venture deep into the abyss. But the divine armor belongs to the demon gods, and to acquire it, he would have to deal with them…

A thousand thoughts raced through Gao Wu's mind, but he quickly suppressed them all. His immediate priority was to comprehend the power of the Source Sea, and ideally, find a way to subdue the Demon God… (End of Chapter)
