Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 285 Suppressing Tens of Thousands of Innate Chaos Origin Lifeforms, Tempering the Nine Bloodlines

Creating a law requires a long time, and before that, Shen Mu also needs to elevate his own Mind Dao to the level of a God Emperor.

The Heart Refining God Emperor's Heart Dao is the absorption of the mysteries of the illusory ultimate Dao, which ultimately leads to a transformation and the attainment of the God Emperor level.

However, among the ultimate paths that Shen Mu has mastered, there are three: the Path of Mind, the Path of Infinity, and the Path of Chaos.

Even with this "Ancient Scripture of Refining the Heart," which is at the level of a God Emperor, it can only serve as a reference.

"Infinity and chaos... or perhaps the Dao of Infinity and the Dao of Mind are more compatible."

The Infinite Dao and the Chaos Dao were very compatible, allowing Shen Mu to achieve the God Emperor level in both.

However, if one wants to perfect the Way of the Mind, it is better to integrate it with the infinite mysteries. After all, the mind is infinitely vast. As the saying goes, all laws of heaven and earth are manifestations of a single thought of a person.

……

The world is vast and boundless.

The activity of a newly promoted supreme expert naturally attracts the attention of countless people, but as this supreme expert goes into seclusion, fewer and fewer people talk about Shen Mu.

Only the truly top-tier forces in the Great Thousand World, the five ancient clans, and major forces with late-stage God Emperors in charge, would keep a close eye on Shen Mu's movements.

As millions of years have passed, on this day, in the deepest part of the Xinxiang Sect.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful wave of will erupted. This wave instantly swept across the entire world, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

Daylight instantly turned into night. A towering figure, whose features were obscured, appeared in the heavens. It was a projection of Shen Mu's will, radiating a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.

When this overwhelming wave of will swept across the entire world, powerful figures from all sides were alarmed.

Among the five great imperial clans, the ancient beings opened their deep eyes, their expressions solemn. One of the oldest beings slowly spoke, "Such fluctuations of will are unprecedented. This Origin Emperor... is likely to be targeted by the Father Gods as well."

Within the fiery northern realm, the Flame Ancestor sensed this powerful aura and gazed into the distance. He frowned slightly, pondering to himself, "Didn't anyone tell him he shouldn't be so ostentatious?"

In the Southern Martial Domain, the Martial Emperor also sensed this unusual fluctuation. He shook his head and sighed.

"He doesn't know how to conceal his talents; it seems this fellow practitioner won't last much longer."

Both Emperor Wu and Ancestor Yan, these two ascendants, have already reached a high level of foundation.

They can take the final step and master the Hunyuan rules at any time, if they so choose.

However, the consequence of mastering the rules of Hunyuan is that one will be noticed by the ancestral god who created the Great Thousand World.

Over countless years, many supreme beings have emerged in this vast world, one generation after another, until they all eventually disappeared.

……

"Master, you've emerged from seclusion!"

This extremely condensed wave of will caused even the soul of the Heart Refining God Emperor to tremble.

He too possessed a will at the semi-primordial level, but compared to Shen Mu's will, his own was utterly insignificant. A single thought from Shen Mu could shatter the wills of tens of millions of him.

The next instant, the immense will subsided, and a divine radiance rose from the forbidden area of ​​the Heart-Image Sect.

"Greetings, Master! Congratulations on your advancement!"

The Refining Heart God Emperor hurriedly went to greet Shen Mu and respectfully bowed.

"After years of seclusion, I suppose I've gained something."

Shen Mu was quite modest. Over the course of tens of millions of years, he not only perfected his own Mind Dao, transforming it into the Infinite Mind Dao, but also perfected his Origin Technique.

"Yuan truly represents a kind of power."

"But as the saying goes, those who resemble me will die. I have already broken free from the confines of the Lieyuan Technique, so it is no longer appropriate to use the word Yuan."

Shen Mu decided to rename his supreme technique to Origin Technique, and added the word "Great" to make it the Great Origin Technique.

"What I have come to understand is based on my state of mind and perception. Your state of mind is different from mine, and the great path you have come to understand is not infinite and ultimate. Even if I pass it on to you, you will not be able to learn it."

Shen Mu was able to see through the hidden desires of the Heart Refining God Emperor, who hoped to receive Shen Mu's guidance and insights.

But ultimately, their states of mind and understandings are different. The Refining Heart God Emperor has not even mastered the basic Origin Technique, let alone the Great Origin Technique.

"It was presumptuous of me to obtain the Qi Yuan Technique, a unique skill created by my master, which has greatly increased my strength."

The Refining Heart God Emperor was genuinely grateful to Shen Mu and did not have any negative emotions because of Shen Mu's rejection.

Both are beings who have comprehended the ultimate truth of the mind, and their mental states are both at their peak. They just have different paths, and there is no difference in their levels.

This level of mindset is one where one is in control of all emotions and cannot be controlled by them.

"I will stay in the Great Thousand World for a period of time. If you can master the Yuan Technique during this time, I will not hesitate to impart higher-level secrets to you."

As Shen Mu spoke, he looked up at the sky.

He could vaguely sense that someone was watching him, and the willpower of the person who was looking at him was no weaker than that of Shen Mu now.

"The Gate of Infinity has long been fully charged; it's time to leave."

Shen Mu originally planned to stay in the Great Thousand World for a while longer, until he could no longer advance before leaving.

However, now that I sense someone watching me, I'd better leave as soon as possible.

In this vast world, those who possess such a level of will cannot be the so-called supreme powerhouses; they are only the five Primordial Gods who passed down their bloodlines.

……

Wanzhou Manor is located in the southwest of the Great Thousand Worlds.

It is more than a trillion miles away from the Heart-Image Sect where Shen Mu is currently located.

Before his breakthrough, it would have taken Shen Mu some time to traverse such a vast distance.

However, after mastering the Mind-Body Dao at the God Emperor level, Shen Mu's will could be more thoroughly concentrated, and its range of influence became larger, even causing changes in the celestial phenomena of the entire Great Thousand World.

Boom!

Above Wanzhou Manor, the void rippled with a series of booming sounds.

Then Shen Mu's figure emerged from the void, overlooking this land.

Although Wanzhou Manor calls itself a manor, it is actually a vast and majestic city.

As the strongest being below the eight supreme beings, the Emperor of Myriad Universe regards the naturally born Chaos Origin beings as his own kind and protects tens of thousands of Chaos Origin beings.

"The fluctuations of tens of thousands of naturally occurring primordial life forms...it's truly spectacular."

Even the weakest naturally born chaotic life form has a corpse worth tens of thousands of crystals.

If someone could kill all the life here, they would become incredibly wealthy, with a net worth of over 100 million.

Unfortunately, there are not many people with such strength; there are only a few who are known as the strongest.

However, for some unknown reason, apart from Shen Mu, the other supreme experts almost never appear in the Great Thousand World. The last time they made a move was countless years ago.

Shen Mu might not have known it before, but after his willpower took another step forward, he already knew the reason.

They must have been trying to figure out who was looking at that gaze.

Shen Mu didn't care because he could leave the Great Thousand World at any time. This Gate of Infinity was a truly terrifying treasure that could traverse the infinite Chaos Space.

However, it's not so easy for powerful beings from other worlds to leave.

"Destruction, life, formations, chaos, time and space, infinity... and a primordial life form that was born with the power to refine treasures, it really has everything."

Shen Mu comprehended the highest Dao, and apart from the Dao of the Mind and the Dao of the Soul, he could find the innate primordial life forms of the other seven Daos.

"Who is it?"

"That's... the Origin Emperor!"

"Run!"

Although he had been silent for millions of years, many people here recognized Shen Mu's presence, and some were even quick-witted enough to flee for their lives without looking back.

However, there's no point in escaping anywhere, as Shen Mu's will can encompass the entire world.

When Shen Mu appeared at Wanzhou Manor, everything was set in stone.

Boom!

The spacetime spanning tens of thousands of miles was instantly distorted, as if it had been forcibly ripped out of the entire universe and transformed into a spacetime sphere.

Shen Mu raised his right hand, and the huge spacetime sphere instantly shrank, then twisted, transforming into a phantom, transparent cauldron.

From within the transparent cauldron, a powerful aura erupted, and the figure of the Myriad Universe Emperor manifested. He was a gigantic dragon-like deity, his entire body swirling with pure chaotic energy.

Boom!

A terrifying chaotic radiance condensed, and the Myriad Universe Dao Lord, carrying an unwavering power, slammed into the invisible barrier of will.

However, the gap is too large. Among the naturally born chaotic beings, Wan Zhou Dao Jun ranks first, comparable to a true semi-chaotic being.

A semi-primordial life form is still just a semi-primordial life form. In the hands of a high-level expert, it can easily annihilate millions.

Even if Shen Mu's willpower was only one ten-thousandth of the power of a casual strike from a high-level expert, it was still something that the Myriad Universe Dao Lord could not shake.

"Emperor of Origin, aren't you afraid of divine retribution from the Ancestral Gods for such a wanton slaughter of naturally born chaotic life forms?"

Wan Zhou Dao Jun roared in anger, expressing his dissatisfaction with Shen Mu's act of slaughter. He stood on the moral high ground, pointing fingers and even invoking the ancestral gods as a threat.

"Interesting. I'm not a good person, are you?"

"They consider themselves a superior life form, regarding humans and wild beasts as food; let no one criticize the other."

As Shen Mu spoke, his terrifying will instantly shattered the souls of tens of thousands of Chaos Origin beings.

The power of these primordial beings is the complete power of primordial rules. Even if they cannot unleash one ten-millionth of their power, Shen Mu cannot simply ignore them with "Such is the View".

So we had no choice but to resort to the crude method: killing them directly.

Wan Zhou Daojun was quite resilient, possessing an extremely high soul strength. When Shen Mu uttered a single word, the burst of will contained within it could only cause minor damage to his soul.

But as soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, his terrifying will still shattered Wan Zhou Dao Jun's soul.

From the moment his soul is initially damaged, Wan Zhou Dao Jun's soul defense will decrease, but Shen Mu's will eruption will not.

"Devouring these tens of thousands of Chaos Origin lives is enough to allow my Chaos Origin bloodline to reach the Great Perfection level. Even without willpower and comprehension, my physical strength will be powerful enough."

"It's a pity that there's no Heart Path or Soul Path, so we have to accommodate two other bloodlines to make up the nine major bloodlines."

Shen Mu clearly remembered that in the future world of the Chosen One, Lord Snow Eagle, there was a half-primordial being who contained nine bloodlines, all of which were tempered to the half-primordial level before finally awakening and stepping into the advanced realm.

This method of breakthrough is the simplest, but also the weakest, way to become a high-level Hunyuan expert.

Even if they are weak, they are still high-level Hunyuan experts. Their souls and bodies have undergone earth-shattering changes, transcending the constraints of the supreme rules.

At the semi-primordial level of life, comprehending the Dao of the Soul is far more difficult than for a high-level primordial expert.

Shen Mu had no intention of forcing himself to endure it like Dongbo Xueying did. It wasn't like using a bloodline system to break through meant he couldn't comprehend the Great Dao.

Cultivating enlightenment and bloodline simultaneously—one elevates one's realm, the other solidifies one's foundation—is the most suitable combination.

Boom!

A terrifying roar erupted from the translucent spacetime cauldron, as countless energies and matter were crushed by the terrifying pressure, transforming into the most basic matter and structure.

Including the Emperor of Ten Thousand Universes, the bloodlines of tens of thousands of primordial beings were extracted and condensed to form pure bloodline essence, pulsating with the complete power of rules.

The image of the Ten Absolute Primordial Exquisite Pagoda appeared above Shen Mu's head, swallowing the spacetime cauldron that carried countless bloodline powers, and then disappeared from the spot.

The Ten Absolute Exquisite Pagoda has now been reforged by Shen Mu using the Chaos Infinite Dao at the God Emperor level. Although it no longer possesses the terrifying power it once had, it is now able to unleash the standard power of a quasi-primordial divine weapon.

The next instant, Shen Mu's figure vanished into the void.

At this moment, in the origin of the vast world, endless and violent primordial power is raging.

A humanoid figure shrouded in endless primordial energy suddenly stood up.

Where are they?

"impossible!"

Even advanced Chaos Origin beings, capable of probing the entire universe with a single thought, could not detect Shen Mu's presence.

"The lower plane... they must have escaped to the lower plane."

The figure seemed somewhat nervous. It was not easy to find a life that the lord could regard as a supplementary ingredient for the Great Elixir; they couldn't just let it go like this.

Not to mention the loss of benefits, if the lord believes that they are lying, the consequences will be even more unbearable for the five of them.

The immense power of primordial chaos swept across the entire universe, thoroughly penetrating both the primary plane and countless lower planes, probing every inch of spacetime.

"It's all gone... Eldest brother, second brother, and two younger sisters, I think I messed up."

The figure's voice trembled slightly as he took out a token and began transmitting his thoughts.

……

At this moment, in the infinite primordial space, the pure white portal transformed into a stream of light, traveling at an astonishing speed.

Every instant, countless source worlds passed by Shen Mu's side.

However, Shen Mu's attention was not on that at all. He was holed up in the Ten Absolute Exquisite Pagoda, devouring and refining the endless power of bloodline.

The pure power of bloodline was boiling, propelling Shen Mu's divine body towards the level of semi-perfect Hunyuan.

"Since there are no paths of mind and soul, let's use the paths of water and fire instead."

Shen Mu embarked on the path of enlightenment by comprehending the laws of water.

When comprehending the fundamental Dao, besides the earliest Dao of the Soul, one also comprehends the fundamental source of water and fire.

During Shen Mu's process of forging the nine bloodlines, the Gate of Infinity also took Shen Mu and crashed into a brand new world.
