"Since you've seen the Tathagata, why not bow?"
Inside the dungeon, Lu Wenwu frowned, shielding everyone in front of him as he looked at the fat man with bumps all over his head, ...
Chapter 457 A new storm has emerged
"calm!"
Jingchen shouted loudly, like the morning bell or the roar of a lion, which woke Xiaobao up immediately.
"Things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. It's not like Lu is going to die right away! Why are you panicking?"
Xiaobao, who was awakened from his previous state, looked visibly embarrassed when he realized what had happened.
"No, who's worried about him?"
Xiaobao left a message and fled, disappearing in a flash, without a trace.
At least on the surface.
As far as Lu Wenwu could perceive, it was hiding behind the door and was competing with him.
"This little thing, really..."
Jingchen had an expression that said a girl who had grown up should not be kept, and sighed with emotion.
Then, he looked at Lu Wenwu, who was still a little confused, with a serious expression.
"Based on the current situation, you should have some of the characteristics of the original demon. Maybe you are not as powerful as the real original demon, but you already have the embryonic form of this power."
Lu Wenwu was stunned and said frankly, "I did have such a talent before. I could gain free attribute points by killing opponents, and it evolved once. Perhaps the part that this talent devoured was the power of the True Demon?"
"It's very likely." Jingchen nodded slightly, "Then your current talent..."
Lu Wenwu pointed with his finger. "It was combined with several other talents, magical powers, and a mythical inscription to form this—the Great Immortal Art of Devouring Gods. Its core comes from a magical power I acquired when I first embarked on the path of cultivation—swallowing the sky and eating the earth."
"When using the Great Immortal Art of Devouring Gods, I can devour almost any substance, even abstract things like laws, poisons that can kill powerful gods, the bodies of dimensional gods, small spaces, and even materials and equipment."
"Eating the gods' great immortal arts? You really dare to say that! The dungeon system actually recognized it!" Monk Jingchen was astonished. "Whether it's gods or great immortal arts, this word with such strong symbolic meaning has actually been recognized! It's a blessing from heaven, truly a blessing from heaven!"
"The evil god is also a god. I ate the immortal god who was infected by the power of the real devil. Is there anything wrong with that?" Lu Wenwu spread his hands.
Monk Jingchen twitched his lips and said, "No problem. The True Demons have been working hard to eliminate the Original Heavenly Demons. They are afraid of this."
"So this unexpectedly born innate magical power of yours should be the key to why you were judged as the original demon. If you can ensure that this is not discovered by others, it should be possible to hide it."
"Don't let anyone else know about this except Xiaobao, Maomao, and me. After I answer your questions, I will directly erase this memory from my soul. Only in this way can I completely eliminate it and keep it secret."
"Uh, not really, right?"
Seeing Jingchen making such a big fuss, Lu Wenwu was a little stunned.
"It has to be!" Jingchen's expression was a little displeased. "You're still young, and your experience is too limited. The world is vast, and there are countless systems of cultivation. The ways to retrieve information from memory are as numerous as the stars in the sky! You don't even care about something that involves your life and death? It's not just me, Xiaobao and Maomao's memories also need to be encrypted."
"I'll listen to you."
Lu Wenwu is a man who listens to advice, so he immediately agreed.
Since professionals say confidentiality is necessary, then follow their lead.
Your elders will never harm you.
This was the first time Lu Wenwu and Jingchen met.
He didn't completely believe Jingchen, but he believed Xiaobao.
Seeing that Lu Wenwu was no longer stubborn, Jingchen's expression softened. He warned him, "When you go to other worlds to fight others in the future, if you encounter those beasts who have joined the True Demon Camp, be careful and never expose your innate magical power."
"Something like the Savior Resistance Army on Blue Star?" Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow. "I remember when I killed their leader before, he seemed to have displayed similar abilities. It seemed like some kind of demonic species."
"Similar to these clowns, they will use all means to fight with us for the ownership of the world. If you encounter them, kill them directly and do not leak your information."
Jingchen nodded, and his eyes, which should have been filled with compassion, suddenly flashed with murderous intent.
It looks like a wrathful Vajra, and also like a Buddha on earth.
It is the hatred for the true devil and the regret for those worlds that have encountered doomsday.
"You should note that after ascending, the restrictions are much smaller than on Blue Star. You have more time and freedom to cultivate. When you travel to other worlds, you can form a team at will and have the power to choose your own team."
"Also, during this period, there will be no such thing as a main quest. They are merely reminders set up to help you grow quickly and quickly discover the entry point to the end of the world."
"Here, we, the Divine Realm cultivators, have one and only one goal—to save the world. This is a very vague definition, and the system has its own set of criteria for judging. The due rewards will not be less."
"In the reserve camp, since everyone's level has been raised to a certain level, the currency properties of spirit coins will be greatly weakened. The transactions here are more inclined to primitive barter."
"The purpose of spirit coins is mainly to exchange for auxiliary means of cultivation such as time rooms, law enlightenment sites, virtual opponents, etc. Nowadays, few people will directly use spirit coins for transactions."
"Unlike back in the mortal world, the spirit coins in the reserve camp haven't depreciated in value; instead, they've become even more valuable. Back in the mortal world, I was considered a millionaire, but here, I rarely have more than six figures."
Lu Wenwu silently glanced at his balance of tens of millions of spirit coins, feeling a little complicated.
"Uncle Jingchen, does the reserve camp refer to the world we will be in after ascending?" he couldn't help but ask.
Jingchen smiled faintly: "Why? Do you think this name is weird?"
"Yes." Lu Wenwu nodded. "I thought this place should be like in novels, some kind of spiritual world or fairyland, but I never expected..."
"Before this war began, this place was part of the fairyland."
Jingchen forced an inexplicable smile and said lightly.
"Now, the Immortal Realm has become a towering wall standing tall in the Sea of Chaos, keeping enemies thousands of miles away. This fragment, which has been specially preserved and transformed, is used to train us, the reserve forces."
"If you head north of Ascension Tower and walk two hundred miles along the paved spiritual path, you'll see what was once the most famous building in the immortal world—the South Heavenly Gate."
"Now, that place is still the South Heaven Gate. However, it is no longer the main gate to heaven. Instead, it is the inter-dimensional portal we need to take to travel to the heavens and all realms to save the world."
"The legendary South Gate of Heaven." Lu Wenwu was moved.
After accidentally learning the secret about the original demon, Lu Wenwu talked with Monk Jingchen for a long time.
In the constant discussion and communication, relying on the experience gained from years of practice and the knowledge accumulated from reading many books, Jingchen put forward his own views on why Lu Wenwu did not see any changes when he stepped onto the long steps to become a god.
The three realms of ascension to the gods are the standards jointly formulated by the leaders of the God Alliance.
Since it is divided, there will be some deviations in the details.
Due to the special nature of the original demon, Jingchen believes that this may be the price Lu Wenwu has to pay for his extreme power.
You can't become fat in one bite.
The original demon used this extremely powerful devouring power to refine all things in the world into himself, and his combat power has always been slowly increased according to the size of his appetite and the amount of food he eats.
However, no one has ever heard of the original demon being able to suddenly increase its combat power by "attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven overnight".
The price of becoming the original demon is very likely that one cannot transform into the three realms of godhood or even the final calamity of becoming an immortal in one go.
Only by accumulating a sufficient foundation through devouring and gradually transforming into a strong enough body can one knock on the gate of heaven and go to the fairyland that has turned into a natural barrier.
This coincides with Lu Wenwu's previous guess.
In this way, the reason why Lu Wenwu reached the 99th level of ascension to the godhood but failed to see the way forward was found.
Relying on the original demon's incredible recovery ability, Lu Wenwu overcame a bug and passed the long steps to the gods.
But in fact, he is still far from being able to truly ascend to become an immortal.
Physical strength alone is a huge problem.
According to Jingchen's understanding of practitioners who take the path of body refining, when Lu Wenwu completely comprehends the law of dreams and improves his body to the point where he can stand on the ninety-ninth level of the long stairway to godhood.
The way forward will reveal itself.
A blessing in disguise?
Indeed, Lu Wenwu lost the possibility of rising to fame overnight.
But every step forward he takes brings him more solid feedback and gains than others.
As the original demon, there is no possibility that he will fail in his tribulation.
He has already overcome the tribulation.
All that remains is to accumulate strength and let things come to fruition naturally.
In addition to his own cultivation issues, Lu Wenwu caught a sheep and plucked it hard, and also asked about the cultivation issues after the inner world was opened up.
For example, how can one make the small world inside the body as awesome as Monk Jingchen?
Jingchen did not hide anything, but asked a few questions before answering him.
For example, how did Lu Wenwu use the portable space before?
How much resources were spent on the portable space during the cultivation process, etc.
When Jingchen heard that Lu Wenwu was simply using this place to raise chickens and grow vegetables, the enlightened monk remained silent for a long time.
In the end, he gave a four-word mantra - everything remains the same.
Speaking of this, Jingchen himself felt helpless.
He really wanted to give some useful opinions and suggestions.
But given Lu Wenwu's situation and the way he was used, there was nothing to develop.
It is usually used as a place for cultivation to assist in comprehending the laws, to replenish energy during battle, or to draw upon the power of the world to bless oneself and gain some improvement in combat power.
Unless Lu Wenwu becomes depressed one day and suddenly wants to follow the path of believing in the Kingdom of God or worshipping gods through incense.
Otherwise, it would be enough for this inner world to maintain its status quo, and investing in it would be a sheer waste of resources.
If one really wants to pursue extremes, it would be better to directly refine and devour the entire world, and the improvement would be even greater - but Lu Wenwu was reluctant to do so, and Jingchen did not mention it.
Fortunately, Lu Wenwu was more interested in the former and had no idea of developing the inner world too much.
He was very pleased with Monk Jingchen's proposal.
It feels like great minds think alike.
Until Jingchen finished encrypting everyone's memories and sent them back to the reserve camp, Lu Wenwu was still muttering that Monk Jingchen was truly a reliable senior.
This caused great dissatisfaction to Xiaobao, who felt a little ignored, and he decided not to talk to Lu Wenwu until dinner tonight, and to call Jingchen "old bald donkey" when he saw him in the future.
According to the prompts given by the system panel, Lu Wenwu left his own inner world anchor in the designated area of the reserve camp.
It's a bit like a parking space.
Everyone who reaches the God Realm has a personal space.
If we don’t plan it, there is a high possibility that space barriers will overlap, which will cause space to collapse.
With one man, one dog and one cat entering the villa on Lingtian Mountain in the Dragon Mansion world, this ascension journey officially came to an end.
Their arrival sparked some small-scale discussions in this reserve camp where there was little entertainment, but it did not seem to cause any waves, just like three drops of water merging into the sea.
Everything remains the same.
Many powerful people who have reached the divine realm are still busy practicing all day long, traveling between various planes and worlds, and assuming the identity of professional saviors.
At every moment, geniuses are born in all the heavens and worlds, and new powerful gods ascend to heaven.
Every moment, worlds are dying and geniuses are falling.
Before growing into a strong person with decisive power, this boundless sea of chaos will continue to operate regardless of anyone's presence.
Lu Wenwu remembered that he still had a ticket to the Time House, so he went there according to the instructions the next day.
All I can say is that I left with great excitement and returned with disappointment.
It is just a simple place for cultivation that can affect the flow of time. It can compress several years of cultivation time into just a few days, which is very terrifying.
For ordinary powerful gods, it is a good place to accelerate enlightenment and consolidate strength. It is much better than the accelerated training cards obtained in the human world - the accelerated training cards can no longer be used here.
But for Lu Wenwu, it doesn't mean much.
His strength growth does not require time, only battles, resources, and a little inspiration.
There is no point in sitting there, and he himself cannot accept it.
So, he decisively gave his ticket to Maomao and asked Xiaobao to take Maomao with him for a new round of special training.
Strive to practice the Heavenly Dog Eating Moon Technique to the peak as soon as possible and obtain the true inheritance.
So, just a few days after he ascended to heaven, Lu Wenwu, who was so bored that he was anxious, felt his bones starting to itch.
He urgently needs to start a new adventure and battle!
The next copy is imminent!
