Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 282 The Corpses of Infinite Bloodline Chaotic Origin Life

"Have these two, Yan Zu and Wu Di, already begun taking the final step?"

Faced with Shen Mu's question, the Demon Master shook his head helplessly.

"Does Your Majesty think that I, Demon Lord, possess such high-level intelligence?" the Demon Lord explained helplessly.

"It was I who was presumptuous."

As Shen Mu spoke, he also expressed his desire to befriend these two ascendants who were at the semi-primordial level.

The various Great Daos of this realm are unique and different from those of the Origin World.

The ultimate path of the source world is to achieve perfection and flawlessness.

Even if one achieves the ultimate path in this realm, the Great Dao is still flawed, and there are infinite possibilities.

Don't underestimate this difference; it's a world of difference.

It is infinitely more difficult for an artist to reach the pinnacle of a perfect work than to continue refining a work that is still in progress.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If there's a chance in the future, I'll try to get to know these two."

Shen Mu then changed the subject, asking, "I wonder if the Divine Mechanism Tavern might sell the corpses of naturally born Chaos beings with infinite or chaotic bloodlines?"

As for the innate, primordial life forms of the Mind Dao and the Soul Dao, Shen Mu didn't even bother to ask.

The Dao of Infinity and the Dao of Chaos are already very rare, but the Dao of Mind and the Dao of Soul are even rarer. Especially the Dao of Soul, there is simply no one who is born with the primordial rules of the Dao of Soul.

Not to mention innate, there isn't even any acquired form of it now.

"There is no corpse, but we do have relevant intelligence. If Your Majesty is interested, my Divine Machine Tavern can provide it for free."

This level of intelligence also has extremely high confidentiality.

The owner of the Demon Mansion only knew that the Divine Machine Tavern had some relevant information and intelligence, but he himself was not qualified to view it.

"In that case, I shall accept the offer without hesitation."

Shen Mu didn't insist on paying money. He would take advantage of the freebies if he could. It was just to gain a favor, but once he ran away from the world, all the favors would be for nothing.

"Alright, Your Majesty, please wait a few days. I need to request the intelligence files from the tavern's main building."

After finishing his speech, the Master of the Demon Mansion stood up and bid farewell to Shen Mu.

After the Demon Mansion Master left, Shen Mu took a deep breath.

"With my current strength, theoretically speaking, I am not afraid of any existence in this realm except for the five progenitors of the major races."

"However, in order to prevent problems before they arise, we still need to continue to improve our own level of spiritual development."

Shen Mu had no reason to look down on the bloodline cultivation system of this realm.

Shen Mu only refused to have the bloodline of other Hunyuan life forms within his body, but if that Hunyuan life form were killed by Shen Mu, he would have no such concern.

"The cultivation speed of the bloodline system is already extremely fast. If I further refine my bloodline with the Chaos Dao and Infinite Dao at the God Emperor level, the speed of my physical body evolution will be even faster than that of cultivators who simply cultivate the bloodline system."

Shen Mu's idea was simple: to raise his own realm to the semi-primordial level as soon as possible.

"Besides condensing these two paths, there is also the path of the soul, which must also be comprehended."

Shen Mu's eyes were half-closed, and wisps of mysterious light swirled around him, transforming into a wheel of wisdom.

The layers of the Wisdom Wheel condensed into nine divine wheels, hovering behind Shen Mu and slowly rotating.

Above the nine treasure wheels, countless strands of wisdom and profound light from the Ganges River sands condensed into secret patterns of the soul.

The Nine Treasure Wheels have also evolved all the mysteries of the Soul Dao, but they cannot completely unify them and achieve the ultimate Soul Dao.

"I wonder how many more years it will take before we can take this step."

Over the past tens of millions of years, Shen Mu's will has broken free from the constraints of the semi-primordial level, and the speed of his thought processes has increased countless times.

Therefore, in just tens of millions of years, he has thoroughly comprehended all the mysteries of the soul path, and only the final unification of all the lineages is needed to achieve the ultimate goal.

However, this step is also the most difficult, because the ultimate path of the soul has no guidance, no reference, and no predecessors.

Everything depends on Shen Mu's own efforts to forge his own path step by step.

hum!

A unique Daoist aura emerged, and an infinite gate, resembling white jade, appeared before Shen Mu.

The exquisite little portal, barely an inch in size, emanated pure, infinite primordial energy.

This is the complete set of Hunyuan rules, but Shen Mu could not possibly comprehend it directly, because the mysteries of Hunyuan rules are infinitely variable.

There is no precise gap or realm between the ultimate Dao and the primordial rules.

The so-called Dao at the God Emperor level is nothing more than taking an ultimate Dao as its core, absorbing other mysteries, and then transforming one's own Dao to the ultimate level.

Therefore, the primordial rules on this Gate of Infinity can only serve as a reference for Shen Mu, allowing him to comprehend its mysteries, but he can never truly understand them.

Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die; it's that simple.

"At my current rate of comprehension, it will take me up to a billion years to achieve the semi-primordial state through the Infinite Dao."

"However, if I can refine the corpse of a naturally born chaotic life form and undergo a qualitative change in myself, this time will be shortened by tens of thousands of times."

"Hopefully, the Divine Machine Tavern... has the information I need."

……

Time passed, and a few days later, the Master of the Magic Mansion visited again, but this time he brought a special scroll.

There are special restrictions on the scroll. Without the strength of a God Emperor at the Great Perfection, forcibly breaking the restrictions will only cause the scroll to be completely annihilated, and all information will be burned.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master of the Magic Mansion."

Shen Mu took the scroll and casually thanked him.

The Demon Lord bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

"Furthermore, the founder of the tavern, the Divine Strategist Emperor, instructed me to tell the Emperor that if the Emperor is willing, he can directly join the Imperial Clan and, like the Divine Strategist Emperor, establish a supreme power that spreads throughout the entire Great Thousand World."

This Divine Strategist Emperor is a semi-primordial level powerhouse of the Imperial Clan, ranking nineteenth on the list.

In terms of strength, he is naturally incredibly powerful, but he is a being of the bloodline cultivation system, and his soul strength is not much stronger than that of a being in the early stage of God Emperor.

Even if Shen Mu wanted to see him, this man probably wouldn't dare to face Shen Mu directly.

"Joining the Imperial Clan is one thing, but if I'm willing to expand my influence, even without joining the Imperial Clan, can't I spread throughout the entire Great Thousand World?"

Shen Mu replied with a smile, without any questioning tone, but it made the Demon Master tremble.

"It was my presumption, Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

Shen Mu waved his hand: "Master, there's no need for that. You've helped me a lot over the years, so consider this a token of my gratitude."

As he spoke, the void in front of Shen Mu cracked open, and a hundred pieces of crystal jade appeared.

One hundred crystal jades is a fortune that not every peak King-level or Divine Lord-level expert could possess.

"this……"

The Demon Master was taken aback, but before he could refuse, he saw Shen Mu wave his hand, blurring the scenery in front of him, and then appear outside the mansion.

"The Emperor is truly...so admirable."

Looking at the hundreds of crystals in front of him, the Demon Master exclaimed a heartfelt "praise!"

Inside the mansion, Shen Mu waved his hand, and the invisible force of his will easily tore apart the restrictions on the scroll.

"The remains of an infinite bloodline primordial life form are in the hands of the Azure Dragon Emperor."

"Two living beings of the Chaos Bloodline, one of whom opened up a forbidden area, and the other lived in seclusion among the Taiyi Ancient Clan."

"The information about this Divine Machine Tavern is quite detailed."

With a sweep of his will, all the information instantly flooded into Shen Mu's mind.

First and foremost was the owner of that corpse with infinite bloodline, the founder of Azure Dragon Imperial City, the Azure Dragon Emperor.

To possess a treasure of this caliber, this Azure Dragon Emperor is naturally no ordinary being; he is ranked twenty-fourth on the Supreme Power Ranking.

Previously, he was ranked twenty-third, but Shen Mu pushed him down by one, claiming to be the number one person below the Great Perfection level in the Great Thousand World.

"Their strength isn't too great; getting hold of this corpse shouldn't be a problem."

"But killing those two surviving Hunyuan beings will be a bit troublesome."

The chaotic bloodline life form that formed its own forbidden zone was ranked eighth on the God Emperor Ranking, second only to Shen Mu.

This man who opened up the Myriad Universe Manor, known as the Dao Lord of Myriad Universes, sheltered countless weak, naturally born chaotic beings.

The other one was weaker, with strength barely comparable to a late-stage God Emperor. He joined the Taiyi Ancient Clan early on and lived in seclusion for many years.

Unless Shen Mu directly attacks the Taiyi Ancient Clan, there is virtually no hope of hunting down this Hunyuan life form.

"The five ancient clans possess extraordinary heritage; let's give up on this Hunyuan life form."

"Then we'll just have to let Daoist Wanzhou suffer the consequences."

Shen Mu is not a good person at all; he has killed quite a few powerful beings for the sake of his cultivation.

Even in the True Spirit Holy Realm, after all living beings perished, their wisdom was extracted to forge a supreme treasure for their own enlightenment.

Compared to those great demons, the only thing Shen Mu didn't do was to slaughter the weak, so he could be considered half a demon, but he was definitely not a good person.

"Si Xuan, I'm going out for a while. Go and cultivate diligently."

Shen Mu suddenly spoke, his voice seemingly appearing out of nowhere in Si Xuankong's mind.

The next instant, Shen Mu's figure was swallowed up in the ethereal void of space and time.

……

Azure Dragon Imperial City.

This is a bustling megacity, or rather, a kingdom.

Generally, only the headquarters of forces established by the five ancient clans and other semi-primordial level experts are called Imperial Cities.

However, this Azure Dragon Emperor secretly allied himself with the Ancient Buddha Clan, so even if he overstepped his bounds, no other semi-primordial experts bothered him.

Boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous roar startled everyone in the entire imperial city.

Then, Shen Mu, dressed in white, stepped through the void and walked towards the central area of ​​the Azure Dragon Imperial City.

With each step Shen Mu took, space and time distorted, transforming into illusory, transparent blue lotuses that descended upon this great city.

"The Great Emperor of Origin has graced my humble abode with his presence; the Azure Dragon has failed to greet him properly."

Within the Azure Dragon City Lord's mansion, a wisp of azure dragon energy soared into the sky, spreading for countless miles.

Countless cyan dragon energies intertwined, transforming into a majestic middle-aged man with dragon horns on his head.

However, the Azure Dragon Emperor, who was once infinitely majestic, was now bowing to Shen Mu with great care.

"I've heard that the Emperor possesses the remains of a naturally born, primordial being with limitless bloodlines?"

Shen Mu asked softly, his voice not loud, but to the Azure Dragon Emperor, the sound was infinitely powerful, causing his soul to ache and even suffer some damage.

"Is this... the power of the eighth supreme expert?"

A look of fear appeared in the eyes of the Azure Dragon Emperor. He had previously challenged two beings at the half-Chaos Origin level.

Although he was easily suppressed, if the Azure Dragon Emperor were focused on saving his own life, he might be able to escape.

Standing before Shen Mu, this powerful figure, who was said to be closest to the semi-primordial state, felt his soul locked onto by a pair of terrifying eyes.

It seemed that a single glance was enough to annihilate his soul.

"Yes, yes... If Your Majesty requires it, Azure Dragon will immediately offer it as a tribute!"

The Lord of Azure Dragon City nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, his face showing a willing expression, as if offering his most precious treasure to Shen Mu was his supreme honor.

Oh...so pragmatic?

The Azure Dragon Emperor's behavior made Shen Mu feel embarrassed to directly rob him.

"Alright then, I'll owe you a favor. In times of crisis, simply pray to me, and I will manifest myself to save your life."

For an ordinary source world, an ultimate being skilled in perception is sufficient to sense the fluctuations of the entire source world.

Shen Mu's will had reached the level of a true Hunyuan expert.

As long as Shen Mu is still in this vast world, if someone chants the name of the origin, Shen Mu will feel it and his supreme will will descend across countless mountains and seas.

"Ah... Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

The Azure Dragon Emperor was taken aback, clearly not expecting this benefit, since the strong don't need any reason to plunder the weak.

"I may not stay in this vast world for very long, but at least during this time, if you encounter any danger, I can save your life."

Shen Mu gave one last piece of advice.

Then the Azure Dragon Emperor hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then took out the treasure of the cave that contained countless bloodline corpses and presented it to Shen Mu.

"Your Majesty's presence is a great honor to my humble abode. I have yet to host a proper welcome banquet for you. I hope Your Majesty will do me the honor."

After presenting the treasure, the Azure Dragon Emperor pressed his advantage, wanting to invite Shen Mu to stay in the Azure Dragon Imperial City for a period of time.

Shen Mu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright."

The Azure Dragon Emperor was overjoyed. Putting everything else aside, as long as the news of Shen Mu's short stay in the Azure Dragon Imperial City spread, those Great Perfection experts who were dissatisfied with him would have to think twice.

As for Shen Mu, he also had his own considerations.

Killing other bloodline cultivators at the semi-primordial level by relying on the will of a high-level Primordial Being is not a big problem.

If you want to kill a low-level peak-level Chaos Origin life form, then you're not good enough.

The soul of a bloodline cultivator does not become stronger as their bloodline improves, but this is not the case for naturally low-level Chaos Origin beings.

Shen Mu needs to strengthen his physical body and soul to another level.

Especially the soul, it's best to reach the late stage of God Emperor, at which time the power of condensing will will increase dramatically.

……

That night, accompanied by a grand banquet, all the prominent figures in the Azure Dragon Imperial City paid their respects to Shen Mu. Everyone knew that the Azure Dragon Emperor had made connections with a supreme powerhouse.

Although the Azure Dragon Emperor had the backing of the Imperial Clan, he had never met the Imperial Clan's supreme expert.

Now, his relationship with Shen Mu is on a completely different level, and the level of deterrence he wields is entirely different.

After the banquet ended, in a secluded cultivation room within the Azure Dragon Imperial City.

Shen Mu took out the treasure of the cave, which was a transparent pearl.

Inside the jewel, the corpse of a three-headed serpent lay dormant, emanating pure, infinite energy.
