Chapter 218 God King Realm and Dimensional Technique

"You are no match for me. I'll give you a chance to send a message: bring your general here."

"Regardless of my identity, once your general arrives, the matter will be settled."

Shen Mu had no interest in continuing the battle with Huo Zhuowu.

He came to the world of Jin for only two purposes: one was to test whether his combat power was comparable to that of a true Void God.

This was already proven when the Thousand-Legged Poison King was suppressed.

Although the Thousand-Legged Poison King was just an ordinary Void True God in the Jin world, he possessed the secret technique of burning divine power.

Such secret techniques are standard equipment for Eternal True Gods on the Origin Continent. Therefore, even if this Thousand-Legged Poison King were placed on the Origin Continent, he would be a notch stronger than an ordinary Void True God.

Huo Zhuowu's expression shifted slightly as he sent a message to the general while secretly speculating in his mind.

"This outsider is so confident, could it really be related to His Majesty the God-King?"

Thinking about the details, Huo Zhuowu felt a sense of dread. If this mysterious Lord of Laws really was related to His Majesty the God King, then he would be in deep trouble.

A hidden space-time within the Eastern Army camp.

Inside the luxurious palace, General Xue Yong, clad in silver-white armor, suddenly frowned, then looked surprised.

"This is... news from His Majesty the God-King!!!"

"That so-called newly ascended Void God of the Xuanling Tribe is actually a Lord of Laws!"

"A will at the level of an Eternal True God, combat power at the level of a Void True God—so heaven-defying…it's probably intricately connected to His Majesty the God King."

Swish!

Time and space rippled, and General Xue Yong's figure vanished from the spot.

As the four generals appointed by the God King of Jin, they were born with the favor of the origin power of the Jin world, similar to the ancestral gods of the Ancestral God Cult, and possessed all sorts of incredible abilities within the Jin world.

……

A silver-white figure appeared out of thin air above the Xuanling tribe's territory.

The moment he appeared, a thick, faintly transparent membrane appeared in the void, just like the membrane of a miniature universe.

At the same time, wisps of chaotic energy arose out of thin air, which was the universe of the Eternal God in a single thought.

Of course, even the Eternal God can only create microcosms tens of thousands of light-years in diameter, which is far from the standard small universes with a diameter of at least one hundred million light-years.

"General!"

Huo Zhuowu, Xuanling, and Chengling, who had just recovered from fainting, hurriedly bowed and kowtowed to General Xueyong.

General Xue Yong simply nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the illusory image of the divine eye behind Shen Mu.

"The secret techniques of the sixth volume of the Divine Eye Secret Art—what exactly is your relationship with His Majesty the God King?"

Unlike Huo Zhuowu's perspective, General Xue Yong recognized the illusory will behind Shen Mu at a glance. It was a phenomenon that could only be formed by cultivating the Divine Eye Secret Technique, and it was at an extremely high level of the Divine Eye Secret Technique.

Shen Mu flipped his right hand, and a black token appeared in his palm, bearing an ancient character "Jin".

"This is a token given to me by my master. He said that once you see this token, you will know everything."

When General Xue Yong saw Shen Mu's token, his expression changed.

The ancient characters on this token not only signify the Jin dynasty, but also represent His Majesty's personal presence.

"This... Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will send a message to the other three generals immediately."

After speaking, General Xue Yong's gaze fell on Huo Zhuowu, and he directly questioned, "Huo Zhuowu, why did you rashly attack His Highness?"

Upon seeing this, Huo Zhuowu quickly explained, "General, I was also deceived, which is why I wronged Your Highness."

"Some time ago, I recruited a new Law Master named Peixing. He claimed to be from outside and told us that an outside force from the Hong Alliance had invaded, and the leader of this Hong Alliance was His Highness Hunyuan."

"Moreover, in order to gain my trust, Pei Xing voluntarily allowed us to search his soul, and in the end, he proved his innocence with his death. I hope Your Highness Hunyuan will forgive my offense."

Upon hearing that the Lord of Laws was named Pei Xing, Shen Mu understood everything.

The Lord of Peixing has a significant role in the original work. He is the owner of the third and fourth pairs of Chaos Golden Wings, Luo Feng's personal courier, and comes from the Purple Moon Holy Land.

"Your Highness, Huo Zhuowu was unaware of Your Highness's identity beforehand, hence his offense..."

General Xue Yong hesitated. Huo Zhuowu was one of his trusted generals, but he had indeed offended Shen Mu, putting him in a dilemma.

Shen Mu waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. My master sent me to the Jin World and to the Wuqi Tower."

"Besides that, I have a junior brother named Yinhe, who is training with me in the Jin world and we are preparing to go to Wuqi Tower together."

Upon hearing this, General Xue Yong's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"I see. With Your Highness's talent, you are bound to ascend to the top of Wuqi Tower and achieve something unprecedented in history. I just wonder why His Majesty the God-King has been so slow in summoning us..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu shook his head and said, "As a disciple, I am not aware of my teacher's thoughts."

Upon hearing this, General Xue Yong's expression darkened, but he dared not ask any further questions.

A moment later, Luo Feng also arrived at Shen Mu's side, and after learning about the changes that had just occurred, he was completely bewildered.

……

In the virtual universe, in Shen Mu's exclusive dimension.

Luo Feng looked at Shen Mu with a puzzled expression: "Senior brother, when did we meet that God King of Jin?"

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Junior brother, I told you long ago that Master Zuoshanke is no ordinary person."

Although Shen Mu did not explicitly say that the Mountain-Sitting Guest was the Divine King of Jin, Luo Feng could not possibly misunderstand.

"I had long suspected that my teacher was no ordinary god... but I never imagined that his origins would be so astonishing."

The Mountain-Sitting Guest is powerful, incredibly mysterious, and unfathomable.

However, his miniature universe is at the level of a true god, and Luo Feng has also entered it. The universe structure there is quite ordinary. If it were a powerful being from an ancient civilization, it would be impossible for them not to know the importance of the miniature universe structure.

Shen Mu shook his head slightly and said, "Teacher is cautious. If it weren't for some fortuitous opportunity, I wouldn't have known your identity."

……

Several days later, a magnificent mechanical warship swiftly traversed the void of the Jin world.

On the warship, Shen Mu and Luo Feng looked down at the vast and boundless continent below.

"Your Highnesses, this is the Realm of the Gods."

General Xue Yong stood beside Shen Mu and Luo Feng and introduced them to the two brothers.

The world of Jin mainly consists of five continents, or more precisely, four.

The four armies, East, West, South, and North, each commanded a vast land area and part of the ocean.

There are many scattered islands in the vast ocean, among which the God King Realm is the largest island, located at the very center of the Jin World.

This God-King Realm was once the place where His Majesty the God-King of Jin lived. Although it was not large in area, it was still called a continent because of its special status, and it ranked first among the five continents.

Luo Feng looked somewhat shocked: "Senior brother, this God King Realm is so special! I saw an endless and vast super-magnificent rune diagram!"

Simply by observing this continent, Luo Feng felt as if he were comprehending some supreme inheritance, perceiving many profound mysteries.

Shen Mu withdrew his gaze and said, "These countless mountain ranges are like patterns of laws. Even those lakes are like nodes. Clearly, this God King Realm must have been artificially created."

Upon hearing this, General Xue Yong immediately showed an expression of admiration: "Your Highness is indeed worthy of being called Your Highness; you deduced the secrets of the God King Realm at a glance."

"Indeed, the entire God-King Realm is a supreme mechanical treasure created by His Majesty the God-King. His Majesty once told us personally that this God-King Realm is unstoppable by anyone other than a God-King."

"What? This continent is also a treasure of the mechanical world?" Luo Feng was shocked.

The size of this God-King Realm is much larger than the cosmic vessel under the command of my senior brother.

It's worth noting that the maximum length of a spaceship is only about 100 million light-years.

Although this God-King Realm is smaller than other continents, its diameter is at least one billion light-years.

Although the power of a treasure is not solely determined by its size, its exaggerated magnitude clearly indicates the extraordinary nature of this God-King Realm.

Shen Mu carefully examined the God King Realm, then shook his head slightly.

"Although this God King Realm is extraordinary, in terms of its exquisite craftsmanship, it is not as good as your Star Tower, Junior Brother Luo Feng."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yong was somewhat displeased.

What is the Star Tower that can rival the God-King Realm personally crafted by His Majesty?!

Luo Feng, who was standing to the side, noticed the change in General Xue Yong and explained, "The Star Tower is a treasure that my teacher crafted for me."

Was it personally crafted by His Majesty the God-King?

That's fine.

"I see. However, this God King Realm is a half-finished product created by His Majesty the God King. In His Majesty the God King's hands, there is also a true finished God King Realm. That treasure accompanied His Majesty the God King in his rise to power and the creation of a kingdom."

General Xueyong gave Luo Feng a brief explanation.

As the group talked, the Eternal True God-class spaceship beneath them, driven by General Xue Yong, moved at an absurd speed, as if it were constantly teleporting over extremely long distances.

When the guards of the God-King Realm saw that the person piloting the spaceship was General Xue Yong, none of them dared to stop him.

In just a moment, the dark spaceship had traversed the vast expanse of space and time and arrived above a beautiful valley.

In the center of the valley stands a magnificent building, thousands of light-years high.

This is the Wuqi Building where Master Zuoshanke once lived in his previous life.

General Xue Yong bowed slightly to Shen Mu and Luo Feng and said, "Your Highnesses, the four commanders of the Divine King Valley are already waiting for you outside Wuqi Tower. Let's go there first."

Huh, huh, huh!

Under Xue Yong's secret technique, the three of them transformed into three shimmering points of light, each shimmering across a vast distance.

In just a moment, they appeared in front of Wuqi Tower.

At this moment, in front of the entrance to Wuqi Tower, there were four figures with unusually excited expressions.

The four figures were of different shapes: a blurry black mist, a burly man, a woman in silver armor, and a ferocious beast.

"The four commanders of Wuqilou pay their respects to Your Highnesses."

Four figures, their expressions filled with excitement, bowed and paid their respects to Shen Mu and Luo Feng.

These four commanders had already learned about Shen Mu and Luo Feng from the four generals, and they were naturally very excited.

Shen Mu, in particular, suppressed the Void True God with his mastery of the Laws.

Such terrifying strength was something they had never seen or heard of before; they wouldn't even dare to imagine it.

With such extraordinary talent, he should be able to reach the top of Wuqi Tower and complete the title conferment mission!

"Your Highnesses, the task of bestowing titles is not entrusted to us or the four generals. You may directly ascend Wuqi Tower." The burly man spoke first.

To be granted a title is an unparalleled honor; even the Four Great Generals did not have such a privilege.

Although there are some people in the Jin world, such as the Four Great Generals, who possess titles, these titles were automatically obtained by His Majesty the God King after they broke through to the realm of Eternal True God.

Any being in the world of Jin who can break through the upper limit of the Void True God and achieve the Eternal Realm will also directly receive a title.

Besides, to obtain a title, one can only complete the conferment mission of Wu Qi Lou, or possess an infinite divine body at the level of the Lord of Laws and complete the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau.

Shen Mu and Luo Feng exchanged a glance, then stepped together into the towering Wuqi Tower, which was light-years high.

The next instant, accompanied by a buzzing sound, Shen Mu and Luo Feng were enveloped by a dazzling beam of light.

Suddenly, the scenery in front of them blurred.

Once time and space stabilized again, the two brothers found themselves in front of a quiet, ancient courtyard.

"Stop looking, come in."

A refined and gentle voice spread from the quiet courtyard, carrying an indescribable Taoist charm.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu and his companion immediately stepped into the courtyard, where they were greeted by a narrow, ancient path.

Following this ancient road, you will see an old building.

The building's doors were wide open, allowing a direct view of the interior, which contained various mechanical and weapon components.

At the center of countless mechanical parts, a man dressed in a magnificent royal robe is intently carving a mechanical component, completely absorbed in his work.

Seeing this, Shen Mu did not disturb them. He casually glanced around and saw a pavilion in the courtyard, so he led Shen Mu to sit in the pavilion.

After Luo Feng sat down next to Shen Mu, he looked at the man in the royal robe with some curiosity. He saw the man instantly unleash countless divine power runes, which merged into the mechanical parts.

After a long while, the mechanical part was finally completed. Then, the figure casually tossed the part aside and looked at Shen Mu and Luo Feng.

"The aura of the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture... it seems I'm right."

The God King of Jin looked at Luo Feng and nodded slightly, then looked at Shen Mu.

"Hmm... Your genes are quite special, quite similar to the bio-weapon I created using the secrets of the Nine Tribulations Manual, but also different. It seems my cultivation level has improved again in the future."

Shen Mu stood up and bowed slightly to the God King of Jin, saying, "Should I address you as teacher, or as the God King of Jin?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter, I'm just a phantom of memory anyway."

The God King of Jin laughed heartily, then looked at the two and said, "My true self summoned you here, presumably to inherit the Lieyuan Technique."

"However, there is one thing I must make clear beforehand: if you want to inherit the Lieyuan Technique, you must first cultivate the Na Yin Secret Technique."

"If cultivation fails, the consequence will be the disintegration of the soul."

"If I were alive, I might have been able to save you. But now I have perished, and all that remains is a virtual projection. Even if I wanted to save you, I am powerless to do so."

"So...do you still wish to inherit the Lieyuan Technique?"

Shen Mu nodded without changing his expression.

Luo Feng nodded, but couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart.

Why do teachers always insist on creating this kind of thing where failure in inheritance leads to a complete breakdown of one's soul?

The Star Tower was like this back then, and the Dimensional Technique is even more so now.

"Senior brother, the Nine Tribulations Manual and the Star Tower were opportunities that you gave me back then."

"Now, Senior Brother, why don't you give this Elemental Technique a try?"

Luo Feng yielded, certainly not because of the so-called danger of soul collapse.

He was genuinely giving up the opportunity. In Luo Feng's mind, all the previous opportunities had been deliberately given to him by Shen Mu.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony." Shen Mu naturally wouldn't refuse. He also wanted to try out the Lieyuan Technique to see if it was truly an opportunity specially tailored for Luo Feng.

"I will likely have difficulty inheriting the Lieyuan Technique. Even if I fail to inherit it, I will not perish, so you don't need to worry."

Shen Mu's soul structure is also quite special, as it can be divided into ten thousand soul origins.

This ability originated from the innate ability of the "Spirit-Consorting Demon Insect".

Normally, this talent, though extraordinary, doesn't provide any additional boost to survival abilities.

After all, illusions, attacks, and pain originating from the soul level will accompany the soul's perception and sweep across all souls.

The collapse of one of the soul's origins means that the pain and illusion have exceeded the limit of Shen Mu's soul's endurance, and all the soul origins will collapse and be annihilated along with it.

However, after Shen Mu comprehended the mysteries of the Dao of the Soul, his understanding of the soul improved by more than one level.

Now, Shen Mu can not only divide his soul essence into multiple parts, but also actively sever the sensory connection between the two parts, which is equivalent to having multiple souls.

Although it may seem useless, this talent is a top-notch life-saving ability when facing incredibly powerful soul attacks.
