Chapter 697: The Art of Creating Gods

"One hundred and sixty-five zhang!"

Looking at the golden luck on the Luck Altar, Yin Qi suddenly thought: "The Shenmu World is actually composed of six realms. If I preach in the Human Realm, will it affect the other six realms? Or rather, if I go to the Heavenly Realm to preach, can I harvest luck again?"

The Shenmu has six realms, which are the Human Realm, the Heavenly Realm, the Exiled Lands (Third Realm), the Seventeenth Layer of Hell (Fourth Realm), the Fifth Realm where the Taigu Seven Monarchs reside, and the Sixth Realm where Qijue Tiannv resides.

The six great worlds are each self-contained.

The Human Realm and the Heavenly Realm are fine; they can still communicate through "ascension."

But for the other realms, even those at the Heavenly Tier need to pass through specific channels.

Of course, the Against Heaven Realm is an exception.

After all, the Against Heaven Realm has already touched the level of the Heavenly Dao, so naturally, one can travel freely between the six realms.

"Perhaps, I can test it."

Yin Qi's gaze sharpened.

He acted as soon as he thought of it; with a movement of his mind, the Human Emperor Armor covered his body.

Then he took a step out, and he disappeared from where he stood.

………

The east of the Heavenly Realm.

Above a certain mountain range.

Space rippled, spreading out like waves.

Yin Qi walked out from within. He looked out, and beneath his feet was an incomparably vast land.

Mountain ranges lay like green dragons;

Rivers roared, surging for millions of miles, piercing through one massive plain after another.

Especially the region beneath his feet, which was like an Immortal Realm.

The Spirit Qi was so dense it turned into mist, swirling among the mountains like Immortal Qi. Vaguely, within the swirling Immortal Qi, one could see rows of jade palaces and towers, resembling an Immortal Court.

"It is worthy of being the Heavenly Realm; such dense Spirit Qi is almost liquefied."

Logically speaking, as one of the six realms of the Shenmu, the Spirit Qi concentration of the Human Realm should be the same as the Heavenly Realm, but the Human Realm produced experts too powerful, making the Heavenly Dao wary, forcing it to intervene.

Looking at the jade palaces and towers in the distance, Yin Qi performed a brief calculation and discovered it was actually the Dantai Sect. Moreover, he saw that the Dantai Sect was setting up the base for an Array Formation, which appeared to be a Heaven-Covering Array.

The Heaven-Covering Array, a type of Earth Immortal level—that is, Seventh Tier—Mountain Protection Array, was one of the many Mountain Protection Arrays Yin Qi had made public, yet he had not expected it to appear in the Heavenly Realm.

Continuing his deduction, Yin Qi realized it had been passed up by the Dantai Sect of the Human Realm.

Yin Qi was disappointed.

Since the Dantai Sect of the Human Realm could pass the Array Formation up, then the other four Sacred Lands, or even the Evil Path Six Great Sacred Lands, must also have ways to contact their founders in the Immortal World.

This meant that the Nine Great Lineages he had made public had actually spread in the Heavenly Realm as well.

The six realms of the Shenmu seem self-contained, but in reality, they are still a whole. Therefore, his preaching in the Human Realm was effectively preaching to the entire Shenmu World.

Yin Qi shook his head, turned around, and disappeared again.

Not long after Yin Qi left, a stream of light shot over and revealed a figure.

This was a Fairy in white, her face incomparably beautiful, her eyes like autumn water, her skin like congealed fat. The whole person was like a Fairy who had walked out of a painting, her temperament ethereal and refined, exuding a spiritual aura, as if she were endowed with the intelligence of heaven and earth.

The person who arrived was none other than Dantai Xuan.

Dantai Xuan looked around, a look of confusion appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Following closely behind, another stream of light shot over.

The person who arrived was a barefoot man in white, his long hair black and thick, naturally draped over his chest and back, his eyes deep, radiating a compelling Divine Light. This person was Dantai Xuan's eldest disciple, Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi looked at Dantai Xuan, a trace of infatuation flashing quickly through his eyes, and asked: "Master, what is wrong?"

"Just a moment ago, I felt someone spying on me."

Dantai Xuan said with a solemn expression. Although she was only an Eighth Order God King, because she had awakened the memories of Qijue Tiannv, she had some confidence even when facing a God Emperor.

Yet, regarding the person who had spied on her earlier, she actually had a feeling of looking through clouds and mist.

When did such an expert appear in the Heavenly Realm!

Wang Zhi asked in confusion: "Master, you are one of the strongest experts in the Eastern Heavenly Realm; who would dare to come and spy on our Dantai Sect?"

Dantai Xuan shook her head and said: "Never underestimate the people of the world. As far as the present is concerned, we do not have a God Emperor in the Heavenly Realm, but that does not mean there are no God Emperors, or even stronger beings; they have simply gone into seclusion."

"This..."

Wang Zhi widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

A God Emperor had not appeared in the Eastern Heavenly Realm for thousands of years, and this was not even the peak of experts.

Dantai Xuan continued: "Not to mention our Heavenly Realm, even the Human Realm is full of experts; the water is very deep. In the past, our Heavenly Realm once went to war with the Human Realm, and the result was a stalemate, eventually forcing us to sign a peace agreement.

Now, a person named Yin Qi has emerged, and I don't know what his background is, but he has actually mastered so many supreme arts.

And he has even made them public; his purpose is hard to fathom."

Wang Zhi's expression turned serious: "Master, should we send someone to the lower realm to bring Yin Qi up?"

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... shu.... ba....!

Divine light flickered in Dantai Xuan's beautiful eyes, and it was a long time before she said: "This matter should not be done by us alone. How about this, you send letters to each family for me, and invite them to the Dantai Sect to discuss."

With her cultivation, the Nine Great Lineages were of little significance to her.

But she wanted to know if Yin Qi had Nine Great Lineages above the Seventh Tier.

Considering Yin Qi's mysterious nature, Dantai Xuan still decided to unite with the other families; even if something went wrong, it would be a matter for the entire Eastern Heavenly Realm.

If they could successfully bring Yin Qi back, that would naturally be better.

Although she would have to share Yin Qi's secrets with the other families, with her status and foundation, returning to the peak was only a matter of time; there was no need to fear other God Kings.

………

Three days later.

Shenfeng Academy.

Bamboo Garden.

Yao Zhen delivered the detailed data on God Creation.

It must be said, the geniuses at Shenfeng Academy certainly have some tricks up their sleeves.

This project has two core points: one is Life Magic, and the other is the blood of immortals and gods; it involves using special Life Magic to activate the immortal and divine blood transplanted into the bodies of mortals.

The activated immortal and divine blood will continuously self-replicate, soon replacing the host's original blood, and then the divine blood will nourish the host's physical body, causing the host's cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, eventually ascending to become an immortal or god.

Of course, this is the perfect process of the God-Making Project.

But in actual practice, there exist all sorts of problems.

For example, the energy contained within the immortal and divine blood is too strong, such that even Fourth Tier or Sixth Tier cultivators find it difficult to withstand;

Another example is that after the immortal and divine blood enters the host, its energy uncontrollably decays; Seventh Tier blood might eventually decay to the Third or Fourth Tier, ultimately having little significance.

Furthermore, for the immortal and divine blood to self-replicate, it also requires a massive amount of energy.

This energy supply is likewise a major problem. Because the Spirit Qi in the human Boundary is thin, it can only be maintained by consuming Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

But Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure are limited, so it is certainly impossible to achieve mass God Creation this way.

Finally, even if one could succeed, the immortals and gods created have limited combat power, far unable to compare to normal immortals and gods of the same tier, and they have no potential to speak of.

Like in the original work, the God Creation project of Shenfeng Academy was successful, and it created a large batch of immortals and gods, but these immortals and gods were all used as cannon fodder in the war to conquer Heaven.

Et cetera, et cetera.

There is a whole heap of various situations and problems.

In short, the goal of God Creation is bright and great, but the process is hard to describe in a few words. (End of chapter)
