Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Since Master Mo was willing to impart his knowledge, Ao Peng naturally studied it carefully.

The moment the scroll unfurled, the magnificent landscape unfolded like ink splashes, the dark yellow hues coalescing to form a vast expanse of rosy light, like mountains and seas, and lines of text entered Ao Peng's eyes.

[This land is so beautiful] (Unknown).

This is a magnificent scroll hanging at the heart of the empire, bearing witness to its century-long history from revival to self-strengthening. Such a beautiful land has attracted countless heroes to vie for its favor… But all that is past; to find truly remarkable figures, look to the present!

This is a legacy, and also an expectation. Although the person who inscribed the painting is no longer here, his spirit remains in this painting, witnessing the century-long history of the empire's magnificent rise!

This is an unfinished national treasure!

A sacred artifact of the state—that's the true value of this painting.

Ao Peng also understood why his teacher was only a master of painting, but held a top position in the Bureau of Investigation, because Master Mo was the core of completing this national artifact!

When the "Landscape So Beautiful" painting unfolds, a spatial rhythm a thousand times more powerful than the exterior scenery is layered upon layer.

Mo Lao placed a hand on Ao Peng's shoulder, allowing Ao Peng to see a more realistic world.

The entire Lu Palace is divided into three layers, rising from the Netherworld to the Jade Pool. The Lu King who died in the old game wanted to dig a passage between the Netherworld and the human world, and then complete his ascension through the human world, so that he could ascend to immortality.

Connecting the three layers is a river without beginning or end, half clear and half turbid, composed of countless souls—the Yellow Springs.

The Lu King's Palace has excavated a passage from the Yellow Springs to the human world, hoping to forever change the rules of this place. If they succeed, then the area within a hundred miles of the Lu King's Palace in the human world will be transformed into a true ghost realm.

At this moment, Elder Mo is using the "Beautiful Landscape" painting to command the land, gathering the power of the earth's veins and human resources throughout the empire, and condensing them into the Xuanhuang Mountain Range. He is using the principle of earth overcoming water to block the Yellow Springs' erosion of the human world.

Ao Peng had seen this method of commanding the land and driving the Xuanhuang earth veins in the dungeon. Clearly, the empire had not been idle for the past two months and had been developing the use of extraordinary power on multiple fronts.

In terms of technology, they began to create weapons like sonic bombs that could suppress the soul. In terms of personnel appointments, they established the Bureau of Public Opinion and recruited game players from the general public. More importantly, the Empire, as the current ruler of this land of China, wields the power to speak the law and bestow divine titles on behalf of Heaven!

Even in the instance, Ao Peng knew to use the faith of the Earth God Temple to help spread the divine name of General Wu Gong. In the real world, there are countless Earth God Temples, but no real Earth God has yet taken up residence. Therefore, through the grassroots governance network, the empire has been like a gentle spring breeze, bestowing the title of Earth God upon the heroic souls of many, so that they may receive the incense offerings of the people.

After showing Ao Peng a wider world, Elder Mo continued to explain, "Supernatural powers can change the rules, but as Buddhism says, such changes are only fleeting, like a flash in the pan, and cannot be sustained."

Ao Peng recalled the supernatural powers he had encountered, and it seemed that they all had this problem, including Shen Huaiyue's strange "non-existent love," which only worked when Shen Huaiyue used it on Ao's mother every day.

"There is another realm above supernatural powers."

Master Mo grabbed the scroll of "The Land Is So Beautiful" with one hand and pointed to the Lu Palace in front of him with the other. "The Great Dao can be changed, and it can change the rules of a place for decades or even permanently. This is the level of 'Mastering the Dao'. We will temporarily call it 'Great Divine Power' internally."

"The level of great supernatural powers is beyond human capabilities. The great supernatural powers we have discovered so far are all achieved through special authority, commanding a symbol of the Great Dao. The Netherworld Yellow Springs before us is a great supernatural power, and my use of the Five Sacred Mountains of the Human Path is also a great supernatural power. Next, you need to help me find the true body of Prince Lu and create an opportunity for me to kill him with one blow!"

After Elder Mo finished speaking, the surrounding Xuanhuang earth veins continued to gush forth, forming a vast expanse of rosy light. Beneath this rosy light, something was faintly being conceived and rising. Ao Peng could clearly sense that it was the boiling fire of humanity, which was currently being conceived and compressed with the power of the Xuanhuang earth veins, just like the great sun about to break through the dawn.

Once it truly leaps out of the ground, it will be like dust turning to light, illuminating countless mountains and rivers.

As Ao Peng realized the key to this battle, the one lying in the Lu Palace also sensed the deadly crisis. From within the deep palace that connected to the Yellow Springs, a terrifying roar resounded.

With this roar, darkness surged outward like a tide, colliding with the dark yellow clouds. The two were like two great rivers flowing endlessly, clearly distinct.

Strands of rosy light rose, illuminating the images in the darkness. Thousands upon thousands of ghostly soldiers wore tattered armor and held sharp blades. Their upper bodies were half decayed, with torn flesh clinging to rotten bones, while their lower bodies were made of pure ghostly wind, allowing them to move like the wind.

The interior of the Lu Palace has been completely eroded and transformed by the Yellow Springs, so even though these ghost soldiers have not broken free from the constraints of the old earth game rules, they can still move around in the Lu Palace, but they are just temporarily unable to reach the real world.

Ao Peng threw an appraisal spell over there.

[King Lu's Ghost Army]

Strength: 1.2, Speed: 2, Constitution: None, Spirit: 1.6

The spirits summoned by King Lu through the Yellow Springs were mostly not fully formed ghost bodies, but they moved like the wind. A small number of them could use spells like "ghostly blindness," but their numbers were enormous.

The gathering of tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers, even if they were just withered bones in a tomb, was enough to chill one's heart.

However, in Ao Peng's eyes, these were all offerings of incense!

Mo Lao pointed his finger, and wisps of primordial yellow energy condensed into auspicious clouds, forming a primordial yellow armor for him.

This helped Ao Peng a lot!

[Your divine power has been enhanced by the power of Xuanhuang, greatly increasing its might.]

The moment the Xuanhuang swirled, Ao Peng felt a terrifying change in his body. His blood surged continuously, but in the channels formed by Kundalini Fire and Yin Qi, what flowed was no longer blood, but the concentrated power of the earth veins!

His original strength and constitution attributes were around 4 points. After activating the [Earthly Venerable] divine power, his strength and constitution attributes doubled to 8 points. At this time, with the blessing of the Xuanhuang power, his basic constitution and strength attributes broke through 10 for the first time!

This is a true qualitative change in attributes. While three or four attributes may have already transcended the scope of the human species, animals like tigers and lions can still reach this level.

The 10 attribute points grant Ao Peng a transcendence of ordinary creatures. Within this body, what drives his power is no longer pure blood, but the power of the Xuanhuang earth veins. This is the change brought about by the 10 points of constitution and strength attributes!
