Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 249 Breakthrough, Achieving God King Status!!!

Inside the ancient and mysterious Chiwu Clan Ancestral Pagoda, sixty-one murals containing the secrets of the Dao of the Soul radiate boundless brilliance.

Each mural is like an independent ancient divine realm, recreating the splendor of the invincible creatures of this ancient era.

Among them are fierce birds resembling divine eagles soaring through the air, their wingspan slicing through the galaxy. Each feather is like a universe, flowing with a brilliant and clear radiance, as if it can pierce through the eternal cycle of reincarnation.

A dragon soared into the sky, its divine eyes shining brightly, like two suns illuminating countless rivers and mountains, revealing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

If you look closely, you will find that the figures in these ancient murals are woven from countless tiny patterns.

The sixty-one innate methods of life are passed down, revealing the endless mysteries of the nine channels of the soul.

"If one can fully comprehend all these inheritances, even if one cannot directly reach the ultimate level, one will still possess combat power comparable to the ultimate realm."

To reach the ultimate level, one must not only comprehend all nine meridians of the soul path, but also unite them into one.

Shen Mu took a deep breath, immersing his consciousness in the profound and mysterious methods.

As time passed, various illusions appeared around Shen Mu's various avatars. In the hazy mist, countless ancient figures emerged, as if recreating the ancient times eight hundred million years ago.

……

In the blink of an eye, nearly a century has passed.

In the outside world, less than a year has passed. Even Shen Mu cannot distort the flow of time in this realm; only those who have comprehended a branch of the Dao of Time can do so.

When Shen Mu awoke from his enlightenment, he had obtained all sixty-one kinds of great supernatural powers of the soul path.

These supernatural abilities are the innate abilities of these ultimate beings. As their level of evolution increases, their bloodline supernatural abilities become more profound.

However, the supernatural powers recorded on the first level of this ancestral tower all come from beings who have just entered the God King realm, and they only correspond to a branch of the soul path.

"If these soul cultivation methods at the God-King level were to spread to the Origin Continent, who knows what kind of bloody storm they would unleash."

This is not an exaggeration by Shen Mu. The Path of the Soul is extremely difficult to comprehend, and the number of God-Kings of the Path of the Soul is extremely small.

To this day, there is no true, ultimate soul being in the entire infinite primordial space.

The contents of each scripture were reflected in Shen Mu's pupils, including those concerning spiritual thought, the true spirit, and the perception of the soul, encompassing all nine channels of the soul path.

Countless secret patterns appeared around Shen Mu's body, forming countless miniature secret pattern diagrams, which eventually condensed into billions of seemingly simple but actually extremely complex symbols.

These symbols flickered on and off around Shen Mu, exuding different moods as if they were merging with each other.

"I should also create my own God-King level technique."

"Based on the sixty-one divine king methods, I extracted their essence and included all nine major branches, so it is no longer appropriate to continue calling it 'Supreme Heart Tribulation'."

"People in this world like to name their secret techniques after various classics. Since that's the case, I'll call my secret technique the 'Origin Heart Sutra'."

The word "origin" serves two purposes: firstly, it commemorates the origin of the world, the Origin Continent, and secondly, it carries the original meaning.

Before Dongbo Xueying was even born, I will reluctantly become the first person in the Infinite Chaos Space to comprehend the ultimate Dao of the soul.

Various profound mysteries of the soul surged into Shen Mu's mind, beginning to forge and refine the methods that would shape Shen Mu himself.

As time passed, Shen Mu's soul state began to undergo special changes, with countless spiritual lights intertwining and surging, condensing into various forms in Shen Mu's original soul world.

Various mysteries of the soul collided with each other, giving rise to new kinds of spiritual light.

"It turns out that my understanding of spirituality is so inadequate."

As countless spiritual lights merged, ancient Daoist sounds gradually emerged around Shen Mu.

The sound seemed to originate from beyond the heavens, resounding in everyone's heart like a great bell, shaking their very soul.

Gradually, the sound spread out.

Unlike his enlightenment at the temple, Shen Mu's soul Dao sound at that time only barely spread to the outer perimeter of the temple.

Now, as time goes by, faint chanting can be heard throughout the entire area of ​​Chiwu Imperial City.

It was as if the Buddha in mythology was preaching, expounding on the realm of great wisdom and perfect perfection.

The first to notice this sound was naturally Chiwuyan, who was in a semi-sleep state.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to wake someone who is in a semi-sleep state unless special methods are used.

"This is... the divine sound of the Heavenly Dao?"

Chi Wuyan looked at Shen Mu with some shock. In the legends of this realm, only those who suddenly attain enlightenment and whose hearts are in harmony with the Dao can create such a strange phenomenon.

Bathed in this divine sound of the Heavenly Dao, Chi Wuyan felt his inspiration was extraordinary. Some mysteries that he had not been able to comprehend for countless years became easy to understand after a little thought.

This is the importance of spiritual thinking—it truly transforms one's understanding.

The secrets of the mountain-sitting hermit's modification of the earth and arrangement of arrays to transform souls contain the mysteries of spiritual thought.

Not only Chi Wuyan, but countless lives throughout the entire imperial capital heard this divine voice of the Heavenly Dao.

In the magnificent imperial court hall, the ruler of Chiwu was having a headache over the venerable figures from various countries who had been left behind in the capital.

The civil and military officials present reacted similarly; for a venerable being of divine realm, decades or centuries were but a fleeting moment.

With Shen Mu serving as the Guardian of the Nation, all the kingdoms under the Ancient Heng Dynasty have sent their own guardians to witness the ceremony. It is a perfect time for exchange, so naturally they will not return easily.

"Hmm? Who's chanting scriptures?"

The ruler of Chiwu looked around with some confusion, as did the civil and military officials of the Chiwu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty... this sound is extraordinary. My understanding of the art, which had remained stagnant for centuries, has actually improved!"

"I am the same. The bottleneck that has plagued me for countless years has suddenly loosened. Could it be that some great being or deity is performing a ritual?"

In short, regardless of which powerful being or venerable figure performs the ritual, it is an opportunity for the many chaotic beings present.

"My friends, now that we have this opportunity, if you have any insights, just sit down and contemplate them. Don't worry about understanding anything."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Unlike those in the Chaotic Realm who have a very shallow understanding of the artistic conception, or even no understanding of the artistic conception at all.

The dozens of God-King Venerables who were stranded in the capital all realized the profound meaning contained in this sound.

"This is... the essence of the Great Path of the Soul!"

"Not bad, this feeling... it's like a state of perfect satisfaction!"

Within the imperial city, the venerable figures from various nations, residing in their respective courtyards, instinctively turned their gazes toward the source of the sound.

These guardian deities all knew that this sound originated from the legend of the war god of the Chiwu Kingdom.

Because in the entire Northwest region, only this legendary war god has comprehended the realm of the soul.

"This is interesting. Before his breakthrough, Venerable Shen Mu already possessed the Divine Realm Illusion Technique, and he could even immerse two Venerables in the illusion with almost no resistance."

"With Venerable Shen Mu's breakthrough this time, his strength will surely increase greatly. I wonder what the Tianyue Dynasty and the Xingyao Dynasty will choose."

……

Inside the ancestral tower, Shen Mu suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, a clear light surged in Shen Mu's eyes, reflecting the evolution of all things in the world, the birth of all living beings, and the emergence of wisdom!

"I never expected that I would comprehend a branch of the Dao of the Soul in such a short time since I came to this world."

As the strange phenomena in Shen Mu's eyes faded, a pure and perfect spiritual mystery surged within his heart.

Next, it's time to break through to the God King level.

Shen Mu had waited too long for this day.

The God-King realm is the ultimate realm of life evolution within the cage.

No matter what kind of ultimate realm, invincible existence, or even god emperor or semi-primordial life form it is.

To be precise, they are on the same level of existence as those who have just entered the God-King realm.

This is similar to the difference between entering the Immortal Realm and becoming an invincible king despite the great difference; although the difference is huge, the life level is the same.

"boom."

Shen Mu's soul had already begun to transform silently.

Based on the "spiritual understanding" that one has come to realize, one re-evolves one's own soul, allowing the soul to begin to transform in essence and evolve to a higher level of life.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Mu's soul underwent a complete transformation. Although he did not break through completely, the domain of rules derived from the Dao of the Soul appeared around Shen Mu.

Previously, although Shen Mu was able to force back the rules governing the world, he did not rely on his own rule domain, but rather on his physical body and divine body being strong enough to force back the rules governing the world.

Now, it truly possesses its own domain of rules, forming a complete set of 'universal operating rules' based on the mysteries of the soul.

"Next is the chaotic space within the Heart of the True God... Evolve for me!"

Those beings below the Chaos Realm have only a hidden space within the Heart of a True God, devoid of any matter.

After advancing to the Chaos Realm, the Heart of the True God undergoes a transformation, and this hidden space evolves into a Chaos World.

However, the chaotic world is not perfect; chaos itself is an initial, disordered state.

Only by advancing to the level of God-King can the space within the Heart of a True God truly become complete, forming a super-huge internal universe, just like the World of Advancement of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

"Rumble~~~~"

The heart of the true god was in a state of chaos, but now it is exploding with a deafening roar.

Under the complete rules of "spiritual thinking", this chaotic space is rapidly evolving.

Countless chaotic currents of energy vanished, giving rise to elements such as metal, wood, wind, thunder, and light. The vast earth was coalescing, and all things were evolving.

Within Shen Mu's inner universe, time flowed exceptionally fast. As the vast world was completed, life began to take shape.

Unlike a normal God-King breakthrough, even if a life form is born after an ordinary God-King's breakthrough, it takes a long time for intelligent life to emerge and for civilization to develop.

Within Shen Mu's inner world, countless beings—including those with shells, scales, fur, feathers, and insects—possessed spirituality from birth and, as they grew, developed true wisdom.

Under Shen Mu's guidance, civilization was quickly born.

As Shen Mu's internal universe expanded, a tremendous anomaly occurred in the outside world.

Endless energy from heaven and earth converged towards the Chiwu Imperial City, and in just a moment, a vast vortex of heaven and earth covering 100,000 miles appeared.

A terrifying energy pressure swept across most of the territory of the Chiwu Dynasty. Under this terrifying pressure, hundreds of millions of people trembled and knelt on the ground, all of them shaking and worshipping!

"Master Mu's breakthrough caused quite a stir!"

"Yes, when I broke through, the amount of power of heaven and earth I absorbed was about one-tenth of that of Venerable Mu."

When one advances from the Mortal Transformation Realm to the Divine Realm Venerable, both the physical body and soul undergo transformation. Every move one makes can gather the power of the universe within their body to suppress all enemies.

A thousandfold increase in strength does not mean that thousands of peak Transcendent Realm cultivators can rival Divine Realm Venerables.

On the Origin Continent, the combined attack technique has reached its peak, where thousands of peak Chaos Realm cultivators can contend with God King level experts.

However, in this realm, even a hundred thousand peak Transcendent Realm cultivators could not defeat a Divine Realm Venerable.

The peak of the Transcendent Realm is far inferior to the peak of the Chaos Realm. Although their energy base is similar, their ultimate techniques and power are dozens or even hundreds of times different. They are not on the same level at all. Very few people at the peak of the Transcendent Realm possess Chaos Realm techniques, let alone Chaos Realm peak techniques.

Among the many courtyards of the imperial palace, the largest garden is located there.

"Such powerful fluctuations... It seems that Shen Mu really comes from one of the major True Spirit Families of the Eastern Divine Dynasty."

As the Venerable Gu Yun looked toward the ancestral pagoda, a strange light appeared in his eyes.

"In the legends of the Northwest, the Chiwu clan, along with the Jinwu and Huoluan clans under the other two great dynasties, all possessed true spiritual bloodlines."

"Perhaps... this is why Shen Mu chose to join the Chiwu Clan."

……

Boom!

Inside the ancestral tower, a majestic giant sits cross-legged, its dazzling divine radiance radiating brilliantly, its body crystal clear as if cast from glass.

This was the first time Shen Mu had displayed the proper form of a perfect divine body in this realm, leaving Chi Wuyan, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

"A divine body exceeding a thousand feet in length—just what level is Venerable Mu's bloodline?!"

Chi Wuyan couldn't help but be shocked, knowing that even those Divine Realm Venerables with extremely strong bloodlines only had divine bodies around a hundred feet tall.

The divine bodies of most Divine Realm Venerables are only a few dozen feet long.

However, at this moment, Shen Mu, who had completed the transformation of his physical body, soul, and inner universe, was still sitting cross-legged.

It's not about comprehending some great Dao, but about perceiving one's own physical body.

With this breakthrough, his soul underwent a transformation. Shen Mu also mastered the complete and profound spirituality of the Soul Dao, and his soul perception, defense, and so on far surpassed those of beings at the same level.

It should be noted that before his breakthrough, Shen Mu's soul strength was only slightly weaker than that of the God King of the Origin Continent.

If it were those inferior god-kings without infinite divine bodies, their soul strength would be on the same level as Shen Mu's.

Now that he has broken through, Shen Mu's soul strength far surpasses that of ordinary God Kings. Even most God Kings at the second level would be no match for Shen Mu in terms of soul strength if they did not cultivate the Great Dao related to the soul.

"Finally, I can sense the existence of the true self... but the true self's soul strength is still insufficient to sense me."
