Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 79 100 Times the Amplification of Consciousness!

Inside the corridor, the black-robed envoy looked at all the geniuses and said, "You have half an hour to make your choice. After you make your choice, come here to register."

After explaining all the precautions for choosing the Chaos Stele, the black-robed envoy turned and left the corridor, leaving the space to the group of geniuses.

Upon hearing this, many geniuses became nervous.

I began to observe the rubbings of the Chaos Steles, feeling the mystery contained in these pictures, and searching for the Chaos Stele that best suited me.

Shen Mu's gaze swept over the 52 paintings one by one, and more than 30 of them contained a vast spatial conception.

However, only the Nine Universes Chaos Stele purely describes the laws of space. Other steles, such as the Cosmic Chaos Stele, the Heavenly Ruins Chaos Stele, and the Frozen Chaos Stele, contain not only profound spatial laws but also the mysteries of other laws.

At this moment, Luo Feng walked over and said, "Senior brother, I plan to choose the Nine Universe Chaos Stele, which will complement the 'Time and Space Essays' you recommended, and we can take the path of analyzing the essence of space."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the Nine Universe Chaos Stele should be the most suitable for you."

At this moment, the black-robed envoy walked in and looked at the geniuses before him, shouting, "The time has come. Tell me which Chaos Stele you choose, and I will record it."

He walked from the outermost part of the corridor inwards, asking each genius about their choices.

"I choose the Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele."

"I choose the Wind Shadow Chaos Stele."

"I choose the Giant Axe Chaos Stele."

"I choose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele."

One genius after another spoke up, until finally it was Shen Mu and Bo Lan's turn.

Bolan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shen Mu beside him, and his eyes became firm: "I choose... the Nine Universe Chaos Stele."

Finally, the black-robed envoy approached Shen Mu: "Which Chaos Stele do you choose?"

Shen Mu said, "I choose to freeze the Chaos Monument!"

The frozen Chaos Monument elucidates the two major laws of water and space.

From the first three rubbings, Shen Mu sensed the fluctuations of the laws of water and space. However, starting from the fourth rubbing, Shen Mu felt a completely new and profound artistic conception.

This artistic conception resembles both the fluctuations of the fundamental law of water and the ethereal and illusory characteristics of the law of space. It is incredibly complex and profound, and can be basically identified as the legendary law of the fusion of water and space.

Shen Mu now possesses the talents of the two laws of water and space. Unless he uses the replication technique to enhance his talents, this path is obviously the most suitable for him.

As you progress to higher realms, you will naturally come into contact with precious treasures that enhance your talent in the laws of nature. However, the opportunity to replicate secret techniques is only available once per realm.

The black-robed envoy nodded slightly, recorded Shen Mu's choice, and then looked at everyone and said, "I have recorded all your choices. Now I will take you to comprehend the Chaos Stele."

The city lord's mansion was incredibly vast and expansive, with each building within it covering an area of ​​over a thousand square kilometers.

A moment later, the black-robed envoy led Shen Mu and many other geniuses into a more spacious corridor.

It's more like a grand hall than a corridor, 120 kilometers high and 60 kilometers wide, but its length is unknown.

On both sides of the corridor are the entrances to the secret chambers of the Chaos Stele, and in front of each entrance door is a kind-faced old man guarding it.

They each had a vertical eye between their eyebrows, and most importantly, the old men in front of every bronze door all looked exactly the same.

One of the three-eyed old men smiled and looked at all the geniuses: "Let me introduce myself."

"I am the guardian of the Chaos Stele cultivation chamber. You may call me Lord Kandri. As for the figures in front of these 52 cultivation chambers, they are all my clones."

"Currently, there are 52 Chaos Stele meditation chambers. 12 of these chambers are occupied, while the other 40 are empty."

"Next, I will announce the names of these 40 Chaos Steles. Those who choose these Chaos Steles can directly enter the secret chamber to study them. Others will need to wait a while."

"The Chaos Stele of Yanshan, the Chaos Stele of Heart's Mark, the Chaos Stele of Nine Universes, the Chaos Stele of Frozen Ice, the Chaos Stele of the Universe..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bronze gates swung open with a resounding boom.

……

The cultivation chamber was enormous, with chaotic energy surging within it.

In the center of countless chaotic mists, a giant stone monument, hundreds of meters high, appears and disappears.

As Shen Mu approached, he could see the nine profound patterns on the Chaos Stele, and the words "Frozen" were engraved in the universal language on the lower right edge of the Chaos Stele.

The first picture shows nine flowing streams that eventually converge into a surging river.

The second image shows 36 icebergs suspended in the starry sky, moving along some mysterious trajectory.

The third picture shows a vast ice field, on which a strange and ferocious beast dwells.

From the fourth to the sixth picture, there is a vast river. If you look closely, you can see a strange and ferocious beast whose shape changes at any time in the river.

As for the last seven to ninth pictures, they depicted a giant beast in different poses. Shen Mu could not sense any aura or fluctuation from them; they seemed to be just ordinary pictures.

"At my current level, I haven't even fully understood the first picture."

The first picture contains some of the most basic mysteries of the laws of water and space.

Among them are the first three most basic and profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of space. Shen Mu had already comprehended them on his way to the initial universe. After all, his Azure Dragon clone had broken through to the Domain Lord level, and Shen Mu's comprehension efficiency had greatly improved.

As for the fundamental laws of water, Shen Mu had not fully grasped most of them.

Shen Mu let out a long breath, immersing himself completely in the mystery of the first picture.

In a hazy state, Shen Mu's consciousness seemed to have truly entered a mysterious world, where nine streams, or rather, a great river, surged through.

Immersed in contemplation, the seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Rumble..."

The massive bronze gate swung open with a deafening roar.

"Come out, everyone!"

A strange voice seemed to resound directly in Shen Mu's mind, echoing around Shen Mu's soul.

This is a bizarre soul technique, created to awaken beings immersed in illusions.

Shen Mu, who was immersed in the profound artistic conception, woke up immediately. He shook his head with some lingering interest and then got up and left the secret room.

A moment later, the first batch of geniuses who had comprehended the Chaos Stele, including Shen Mu, gathered in the corridor, numbering about eight hundred.

Kandri, who was guarding the Chaos Monument, stopped Shen Mu and the others: "This is your first time entering the cultivation chamber. I'd like to remind you of some things to be careful about."

"After leaving the city lord's mansion, I will first find a place to stay for my cultivation for the next 30 years, and then enter the virtual universe to apply to enter the Tongtian Bridge."

Candri smiled and said, "The opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele is extremely precious. Only after passing through each level of the Heavenly Bridge will you be rewarded with seven days of comprehension time. Don't waste it, go ahead."

"You can leave now," Kander said with a faint smile.

Shen Mu and the others bowed respectfully to the guardian, Kander, and then transformed into streaks of light and departed.

……

After leaving the city lord's mansion, the many geniuses scattered and began to search for their own cultivation residences.

Chaos City covers a vast area. Apart from a very few special buildings, the cultivation residences are almost identical, and the doors of most of the cultivation residences are light white.

This means that there is no owner here, and you can choose to live here.

Shen Mu casually chose a relatively quiet residence near the City Lord's Mansion, which would make it convenient for him to enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion in the future to study the Chaos Stele.

"drop……"

Shen Mu placed his hand on the door for a moment, and an electronic sound began to play. At the same time, the color of the door gradually darkened, turning into dark gray.

"Welcome, Master," an electronic voice announced.

"I am a service AI. During the time the owner resides here, I will serve the owner. The owner can ask for whatever they need, such as food, drink, etc."

"Um."

Shen Mu went directly into his cultivation residence. The first floor was a huge living room with complete and advanced facilities, after all, it was the territory of the Virtual Universe Company.

Following the stairs, Shen Mu instantly arrived at the rooftop on the third floor.

Shen Mu glanced around and saw some casual insights left behind by previous cultivators on the rooftop, which faintly conveyed some special artistic conceptions.

After glancing at it, Shen Mu paid no further attention.

These insights are too numerous and varied to be worth studying.

My primary task now is to digest what I've gained from studying the Frozen Chaos Stele, and then I'll cross the Heavenly Bridge.

"Beep beep, Master, this is a call request from Virtual Universe Company."

As the intelligent service voice sounded, Shen Mu's eyes lit up slightly.

It seems that the biological materials I purchased, the 'Spirit-Conjurer', have arrived.

"Connected."

A transparent screen appeared, displaying the figure of a woman in palace attire: "Your Highness Shen Mu, the system has detected that you have selected Chaos City as your residence. We have arranged for staff to deliver the treasures you purchased to that residence. Please sign for them upon receipt."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

A moment later, two realm lords dressed in silver armor arrived at the entrance of Shen Mu's cultivation residence, one of whom was carrying a silver-white briefcase.

After Shen Mu left his cultivation residence, one of the realm lords bowed slightly to him and said, "Your Highness Shen Mu, these are the treasures you purchased from the treasury."

As he spoke, the other person handed the silver-white briefcase to Shen Mu.

"Thank you both for making this trip," Shen Mu replied politely.

The other realm lord quickly bowed and said, "It is my duty, I dare not take credit. Please check the items and sign for them, Your Highness."

Shen Mu opened the suitcase, checked the contents, and then signed for it. The two of them quickly said goodbye.

……

The cultivation residence is an absolutely quiet, secluded room.

Shen Mu sat cross-legged, with a piece of magical skin covered in colorful patterns floating in front of him, from which a faint halo emanated.

Looking directly at the multicolored halo, Shen Mu felt slightly dizzy.

However, as Shen Mu focused his mind, the slight dizziness disappeared immediately.

Even so, Shen Mu still felt it was a bit exaggerated.

The owner of this spirit-possessed demonic insect skin was only at the ninth level of the universe level, while Shen Mu's soul essence was already at the first level of the domain lord level.

It's incredible that just seeing the secret patterns on a piece of damaged skin could affect Shen Mu, even though it was very weak.

"Don't let me down this time."

Shen Mu was somewhat expectant, and then directly sent the piece of damaged skin into his inner world to analyze it.

hum!

A strange fluctuation surged around Shen Mu. The entire analysis process lasted for nearly half a day before it was finally completed.

The innate secret technique "Ten Thousand Spirits" is a soul enslavement secret technique that can enslave and control up to 1 soul servants at the same time.

Furthermore, once this secret technique is solidified, Shen Mu's soul characteristics will undergo a certain change, allowing him to freely divide his soul essence into two or even more clusters, or of course, choose not to divide his soul.

Most importantly, by choosing this secret method, Shen Mu will possess a powerful soul talent no weaker than that of the 'Spirit Parasite Demon Insect', surpassing even the Insect Queen.

"This is exactly what I wanted!"

Without any hesitation, Shen Mu directly chose the solidification technique.

An invisible force acted on Shen Mu's primordial core, causing the hidden chaotic patterns to reappear and begin to evolve and intertwine into wondrous, multicolored patterns.

The invisible cosmic energy rapidly merged into Shen Mu's primordial core, and under the influence of the strange five-colored patterns, it transformed into strange five-colored rays of light, which then entered Shen Mu's soul.

During this process, Shen Mu's soul also underwent a transformation, and his entire soul essence became dazzling, with a luminous glow that flowed with vibrant colors.

As his soul traits changed, Shen Mu could feel his thought processes speed increasing dramatically, and at an alarming rate.

……

The transformation of his soul lasted for a week, during which Shen Mu was digesting the gains from comprehending the Chaos Stele.

During this process, Shen Mu clearly noticed that he was digesting and comprehending the Chaos Stele at an increasingly faster pace.

On the last day, the profound truths that originally took half a day to understand and comprehend can now be grasped in less than half an hour.

"Is this the benefit of a spiritual transformation?"

A faint glimmer appeared in Shen Mu's eyes, and a dense spiritual force burst forth instantly, then quickly compressed and condensed, increasing its intensity by 100 times!

A hundredfold increase in consciousness amplitude!

The so-called hundredfold amplitude of consciousness is a limit under the rules of the universe, representing the soul in a perfect state.

Only when the soul and body are in perfect condition, and one has fully mastered the power of the soul and body, and comprehends a lower-level law, can one invoke the arrival of the ocean of primordial laws.

Under the baptism of the ocean of laws, the physical body and soul will merge and transform into a divine body, achieving the realm of an immortal god.

Previously, Shen Mu's consciousness amplitude was 52 times, which was considered ordinary among first-level Domain Lords, given that he had just broken through.

After the soul transformation, the amplitude of consciousness soared to 100 times, a level that most realm masters could not reach in their entire lives.

"I wonder if the third treasure of Chaos City, the Chaos True Spirit, will still be of any use to me. I doubt it."

The Chaos True Spirit is also a treasure for transforming and elevating the soul, but its effects are limited.

Shen Mu let out a long sigh of relief, and then his consciousness connected with the virtual universe.

After seven days of reflection, I have finally digested the gains I made from comprehending the Chaos Stele.

……

Virtual Universe, Rain Mountain.

Shen Mu appeared at his manor.

"Your Highness."

A group of servants and guards immediately bowed when they saw Shen Mu.

The next instant, a streak of fiery red light landed in front of Shen Mu, revealing Yu Lun's figure.

"Your Highness, are you planning to cross the Heavenly Bridge?" Yu Lun asked Shen Mu with a smile.

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's time to go and take a look at the Tongtian Bridge."
