Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 261 The Seven Great Divine Emperors Discuss Shen Mu, Billions of Living Beings Forge the Divine Furnace!

Inside the Bone Tower, on the first floor.

Shen Mu sat quietly cross-legged, his expression solemn and focused. His soul power, like strands of fine silk, slowly diffused out, attempting to leave his own soul imprint within the bone tower and establish it as his master.

As Shen Mu began to acknowledge his master, countless profound runes of the Dao of Time and Space, the Dao of Chaos, and the Dao of Array instantly lit up the inner hall of the Bone Tower. Those runes, like dazzling stars, shimmered with mysterious light.

At the same time, powerful pressure from the soul swept over him like a surging tide, impacting Shen Mu's mind.

This is a necessary process for recognizing the treasure as its master. Only by bearing this immense pressure on the soul and imprinting one's own soul mark upon it can one be considered to have initially recognized the treasure as its master.

Completing the recognition of ownership is only the initial control over this quasi-primordial treasure. One still needs to truly comprehend the secret patterns of this treasure and comprehend the three Great Daos in order to unleash its powerful strength.

Shen Mu thought to himself, "However, I don't care whether I can unleash its true power. As long as I can initially activate this treasure and seal the target inside, that's enough."

Once sealed within this quasi-primordial divine weapon, even someone like the Divine Calculator, who has just surpassed the Supreme level and is not yet a Palace Master, would have no chance of escaping.

At that time, relying on his own willpower and secret techniques, he will be able to suppress all powerhouses below the Supreme level.

Even when facing a true supreme being, as long as one hides inside this treasure, one can ensure their safety.

Just then, a voice transmission came from outside the Bone Tower: "Fellow Daoist Shen, if you can comprehend the secret runes of the first level of the Bone Tower, the difficulty of recognizing a master will be greatly reduced."

Shen Mu smiled and shook his head slightly.

The process of recognizing the ossuary was also a test of willpower for Shen Mu himself.

This elevation of mindset and surge in willpower has resulted in a loss of absolute perfection in my control over my own will.

If someone whose willpower is below the Venerable Realm were to meet Shen Mu's gaze now, they would feel an immense and boundless intimidation from his will, and their soul would collapse.

Shen Mu replied to Di Shitian telepathically: "Thank you for the reminder, Palace Master. I understand, but there is still one thing I need your help with."

Di Shitian asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, please speak freely. As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost to help you."

Shen Mu said, "I need the Palace Master to teach me a secret technique called the Great Wisdom Technique."

Di Shitian only glanced at the contents of the secret technique created by Shen Mu, and he roughly knew Shen Mu's purpose.

However, Di Shitian will not only not object, but will cooperate with Shen Mu.

With the cooperation of Emperor Shitian, Shen Mu's Great Wisdom Technique will surely spread throughout the entire True Spirit Holy Realm more quickly, allowing countless beings in the Chaos Realm to cultivate this secret technique.

Throughout the entire True Spirit Holy Realm, every single second, countless lives in the Chaos Realm perish.

As long as these beings have cultivated Shen Mu's Great Wisdom Technique, their thoughts and spirituality after their fall will be extracted by Shen Mu and become nourishment for the Myriad Spirits Divine Furnace.

……

While Shen Mu began to recognize the Bone Tower as his master, Di Shitian, one of the seven supreme beings in this world, was not idle either, preparing to spread the secret technique to the protagonist.

A powerful will erupted from the true form of Indra, hidden within the abyss of chaos, and merged into the shadow plane of this realm. With the aid of the power of the shadow plane, an aura of supreme dominance spread throughout the entire True Spirit Holy Realm.

In the south, there are endless islands and countless volcanoes. There is a celestial palace here called "Flaming Sun Celestial Palace".

A blazing will spread out, like a scorching sun, radiating endless light and heat. On the islands surrounding the celestial palace, waves surged and steam rose.

Within countless volcanoes, lava surges and flames soar into the sky. Enveloped by this intense fervor, the Fiery Sun Palace appears as a sacred temple, radiating an aura of majesty.

On the boundless ice plains of the north, the cold wind howls and snowflakes dance in the air.

A magnificent ice palace stands tall, resembling a crystal celestial palace, radiating a chilling aura. Ice pillars rise around the palace, illustrating the profound mysteries of the true essence of water!

Suddenly, an extremely cold and chilling aura spread out, carrying a supreme will, breaking through the barrier between the real and the reflected world!

In the East, a prosperous and flourishing era, at the heart of humanity, lies the Great Qin Dynasty, the Purple Heaven Palace!

The Purple Heaven Palace is surrounded by lush green trees and abundant flowers and plants. Ancient trees stand tall, seemingly bridges connecting heaven and earth. As their branches sway, they exude a rich aura of life, naturally extending the lifespan of countless people.

An endless aura of vitality spread, and illusory thoughts transformed into ancient trees reaching the sky.

In the west, in the boundless desert, sandstorms raged, and the sound of swords echoed between heaven and earth.

The magnificent Sword Palace stands like a sharp sword, piercing the desert. The sword intent surrounding the palace crisscrosses, forming an invisible sword net that protects this land, and a sword intent soars into the sky.

Finally, from northwest to southeast, amidst the vast and verdant Ten Thousand Mountains, the Demon God Palace is situated.

The temple was surrounded by clouds and mist, making it mysterious and unpredictable.

Suddenly, the cries of dragon and phoenix resounded through the heavens, their energies intertwining to form a magnificent rainbow. Amidst the shimmering auspicious light, it seemed as if a divine blessing had descended upon this land.

The wills of the two palace masters, Dragon and Phoenix, spread out and seeped into the shadow world!

At this point, the will of the Six Immortal Palaces of the Governing World and the Seven Absolute Peaks of this Realm all converged in the Shadow World.

In the shadow world, darkness and light intertwine, and a mysterious aura permeates the air. The wills of the seven supreme masters collide and merge here, as if in a silent contest.

The Lord of the Southern Immortal Palace, Yan Yang Dao Zun, was the first to send out his thoughts, asking Emperor Shi Tian why he had convened the alliance of the various palaces.

"Indra, what is the purpose of summoning us today?"

"Indra, has something major happened?"

"Haha, Indra, you rarely summon us."

Indra's thoughts spread: "The Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain will descend in less than three cycles of time. I ask all fellow Daoists to join forces at that time and try to keep the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain stationary for as long as possible."

Generally, it takes 12.96 million years for the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain to complete one cycle. Only about 100 years will it approach the True Spirit Holy Realm, where one can easily enter and exit.

However, if the seven supreme experts join forces, they can slow down the operation of the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain, allowing it to approach the True Spirit Holy Realm for as long as possible.

Lord of the Demon God Palace, True Dragon: "Freeze the boundless Nine Mystic Mountains? Indra, are you kidding me?"

"Yes, Emperor Shitian, even if we join forces, we will probably have to pay a price to stabilize the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain."

"Please calm down, everyone. I'm sure Indra wouldn't speak carelessly. Tell me the specifics, shall I?"

Di Shitian's thoughts began to fluctuate: "My Cloud Sea Immortal Palace has nurtured an unparalleled genius who, with the body of a Venerable, can defy the Heavenly Venerable and even protect himself in the face of a Supreme Being. This time, his entry into the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain to search for your item is also our last chance."

Last chance?

The thoughts of all the celestial palace lords present shifted, the entire shadow world was collapsing and being reborn, and the reflections of the endless real world were generating illusions and destruction.

"Emperor Shitian, could it be that the True Spirit Great Sage suppressed by the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace is about to break free from its seal?"

"So fast... According to our initial estimate, it should have taken at least a billion eons, and it's only been eight hundred million!"

"Indra, this is no joke! If that true spirit of the sun were to revive, the entire Origin World would be doomed!"

The Cloud Sea Immortal Palace is the only immortal palace that opened its sect in the ninth month of the year, which is also the most dangerous move it has ever made.

The reason for this is that Indra wants to extract the bloodline of this true spirit to slow down its evolution.

Because this true spirit is the strongest among all the true spirits.

Fortunately, Emperor Shitian was no ordinary person either. He was the true number one in this world and was able to fight against the two dragon and phoenix lords of the Demon God Palace together.

As an existence who achieved the ultimate path in the shadow world and then surpassed the supreme realm, Emperor Shitian took control of the shadow plane of the True Spirit Holy Realm Origin World!

This was also permitted by the primordial will, hoping that Indra could help him suppress this most powerful true spirit of the sun.

With the power of the shadow plane of the entire Origin World, although Di Shitian is not a half-Origin life form, his combat power is no weaker than that of a true half-Origin life form, and may even be stronger.

Faced with the questions from the palace masters, Di Shitian did not hide anything, and a wisp of thought was transmitted: "This true spirit of the sun can indeed be suppressed, and it may break through at any time."

Even though Di Shitian kept extracting the opponent's essence and bloodline power, he could only slow down the breakthrough speed of Chiwu True Spirit as much as possible.

However, the power of the Nine Wonders was simply too strong, as if it was causing the bloodline power of these true spirits to grow infinitely, making it impossible to suppress.

Once this true spirit breaks through, it is very likely to directly plunder all the power of the sun's origin in this world, and even enslave the origin's will. At that time, all living beings will be lambs.

"Now that the Boundless Nine Mystic Mountains have descended, if we cannot find something to restrain the power of the Nine Mystic Mountains, we may truly not have another chance."

Indra sent out a final thought: "Everyone, now is the time for us to join forces. I hope you will cooperate!"

"In that case, even if it costs us our lives, we must keep the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain frozen in place for as long as possible!"

"Indeed, but Emperor Shitian, how confident are you in having your Cloud Sea Immortal Palace's prodigy in wielding that forbidden artifact?"

"If we work together, we will definitely get through this crisis."

Indra was honest: "Only 30%, or even less, but we have done our best."

As this thought spread, the entire shadow world fell silent.

The thoughts of these supreme beings ceased to communicate.

A moment later, the mind of the Western Sword Palace leader suddenly spread out: "Emperor Shitian, if all the palaces were to lend their full support, how much greater would our chances of success be?"

Indra convened the covenant of the various palaces for this very purpose, and therefore there was no unnecessary talk.

"This prodigy of my Cloud Sea Immortal Palace excels in the three paths of soul, mind, and illusion. I hope that fellow Daoists can provide various treasures, cultivation techniques, and inheritances that can enhance the soul, so that we can improve it somewhat."

"I have a Primordial Treasure Talisman here, which is condensed from the Primordial Power after the fall of the True Spirit Qilin. Once activated, it can block a desperate attack from a peak Palace Master."

"I have a special secret manual here called the 'Great Canon of the Mind's Wrath and Appearance,' which is a secret manual I obtained by my clone traveling to other worlds. It can be considered a secret manual of the Mind's Appearance Path."

"After the ancient spirit Taotie perished, I forged a jade pendant from its blood and flesh. It emits a special kind of spiritual energy that can stabilize one's mind!"

"Soul-related inheritances are rare, and I don't really have any top-tier inheritances or treasures here. However, I do have a 'life-substitute puppet,' which can die in place of a powerful being who has mastered the ultimate path of destiny, as long as it isn't killed by such a person."

"I do have a special treasure here, which was obtained by a Venerable One from the Boundless Nine Wonders Mountain 600 million years ago. It can cleanse the soul and allow the soul to possess a trace of the soul characteristics of the Primordial Chaos level ahead of time."

Each of the five great immortal palaces that govern the world has brought out a precious item. Treasures brought out by beings of this level have a great effect on these supreme beings. If they were given to Shen Mu, they would surely cause Shen Mu to undergo a transformation.

"In that case, on behalf of my fellow Daoist Shen, I thank you all."

As Indra's thoughts fluctuated, the entire shadow plane of the Origin World rumbled: "There is one more thing that requires the help of the Palace Masters."

After speaking, Di Shitian spread his thoughts and transmitted the Great Wisdom Technique created by Shen Mu to the palace masters.

As the seven most powerful figures in this world, these supreme experts could roughly guess the function of this technique after just one glance.

Then, sure enough, Indra spoke: "I urge you all to spread this secret technique far and wide throughout the endless territories under your rule."

"Haha, it's nothing."

"This technique is quite interesting, let me see... Wow, refining treasures with mental acuity, this Fellow Daoist Shen has quite the ambition!"

"This news will benefit all living beings. Although one's thoughts and spirit will be extracted after death, if one cannot transcend in this life, it will be useless for all eternity. If this news can be spread, it will be a great merit for Fellow Daoist Shen."

……

Time flows by, and the cycle of seasons turns.

As time went by, the pressure on Shen Mu's soul from the Hunyuan Bone Tower grew stronger and stronger.

An ordinary soul at the peak of the Heavenly Venerable Realm would have already collapsed under the pressure of this level of soul oppression.

However, Shen Mu's soul strength was no weaker than that of an ordinary Heavenly Venerable, and his comprehension of soul defense was also quite high. Moreover, he possessed the will of the ultimate realm, so he was able to withstand it.

The surrounding runes flickered with an eerie light, mocking Shen Mu.

"Hahaha, you lowly insect, give up!"

This is the spirit of this bone tower, a supreme treasure of this level, whose wisdom far surpasses that of 99% of the God-Kings!

Shen Mu ignored the mockery of the Bone Tower Spirit, sat cross-legged, and manipulated his soul power to permeate the Bone Tower!

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

The pressure from the soul level grew increasingly terrifying; even Shen Mu's soul was on the verge of collapse during the process of recognizing its master in the Bone Tower.

Throughout this century, Shen Mu's will was tempered and reforged time and time again, enduring endless pain. This was the greatest pain Shen Mu had ever experienced in his life, far exceeding all previous trials of will.

Under this terrifying ordeal, Shen Mu's will also transformed to an extreme. His powerful will spread out, even distorting the flow of time around him, reaching the peak of the ultimate realm.

Even the will at the peak of the ultimate realm could not recognize this quasi-primordial treasure as its master, which shows how difficult it is to recognize it as its master!

"It seems we'll have to rely on external help!"

With a pale face, Shen Mu slowly opened his eyes, sighed helplessly, and then summoned his supreme treasure for proving his Dao, the Myriad Spirits Divine Furnace.

Suddenly, a dreamlike, magnificent sun, radiating endless colorful rays, appeared out of thin air, illuminating the myriad heavens and creating numerous wondrous phenomena, its terrifying pressure spreading outwards. That dreamlike, supreme sun was none other than Shen Mu's supreme treasure, the Myriad Spirits Furnace, which had undergone countless transformations!

The Myriad Spirits Furnace emitted a dazzling light, and its terrifying spiritual pressure shook the very fabric of time and space. The surrounding space trembled slightly under this powerful pressure, as if it were submitting to this supreme treasure.

Over tens of thousands of years, Shen Mu's Great Wisdom Technique, through its dissemination by the Six Immortal Palaces of Governance, has become the true foundation-building secret method of this world.

This is a secret technique that every being in the Chaos Realm must cultivate, which greatly enhances their wisdom and comprehension. As a result, the number of Divine Realm Venerables in the entire True Spirit Holy Realm has greatly increased during this era.

In the past, there would only be a few dozen or a hundred newly promoted Venerables in the entire True Spirit Holy Realm during a decade, but now that number has increased more than tenfold!

Of course, Shen Mu not only made contributions to the True Spirit Holy Realm, but also greatly benefited himself from the spread of the Great Wisdom Secret Technique.

Today, the Myriad Spirits Divine Furnace contains rivers of wisdom, each river being refined from the thoughts and spiritual essence of billions of Chaos Realm cultivators!

"The Origin of the Heart Sutra, the Source of the Soul!"

Shen Mu used the Myriad Spirits Treasure Furnace to unleash his own secret technique for soul defense, instantly generating boundless phenomena.

Countless vortexes of soul power, like black holes, devoured all the oppressive forces of the soul!
