Chapter 669 — The Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits

The Heavenly Duke smiled. "You and he are one body. Not only are you one body, you share a single soul. Therefore he can command Youdu's demonic nature and demonic qi — and so can you. In your past cultivation, did you never wonder why you are so special, why you could open the Gate of Heaven's Inheritance?"
"Because I have a Tyrant Body!" Shen Mu answered without thinking.
"Tyrant Body?"
The Crimson Emperor was greatly shaken and could not help but feel awe, though a trace of loss also stirred in his heart: "A pity I could not directly assimilate his thought just now. Had I assimilated his thought and he became another me, combined with a Tyrant Body, a comeback would not have been impossible..."
The Heavenly Duke said, "It is not because of the Tyrant Body, but because you share one physical body and one soul! The Earth Earl's seal bound him together with the demonic nature and demonic qi, suppressed here. But fundamentally, you are also him — merely with different thought. Therefore the power he can command, you can command as well."
Shen Mu was both shocked and overjoyed. If he could command such immense power, did that not mean he possessed strength equal to Shen Fengqing's?
But how to command it?
"To command this power, you cannot do it by yourself alone."
The Heavenly Duke said, "This requires me and the Crimson Emperor. The Crimson Emperor's thought-consciousness is extraordinarily powerful. He forged three primordial spirits — the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits. Even if his soul scattered and his spirit dispersed, his consciousness and thought could still exist. It is only that he cannot overcome Shen Fengqing's demonic nature — Shen Fengqing's demonic nature is too heavy. So when the Crimson Emperor tried to assimilate him, he was driven out. Crimson Emperor, transmit your Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits to Shen Mu."
The Crimson Emperor hesitated, then said, "There is no other way now. However, I am only thought-consciousness. After I transmit it to young friend Shen, my memories regarding the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits will vanish. I must ask young friend Shen to pass this cultivation method on to my clansmen. In those years I hoarded it like a treasured broom and did not transmit it to my people. After my death, this method vanished as well."
Shen Mu said solemnly, "Crimson Emperor, rest assured! I will certainly pass on this method!"
The Crimson Emperor was relieved. He carefully began stripping away his own thought. After a moment, a portion of his thought flowed from his mind and poured into Shen Mu's brow.
This was pure thought-consciousness — his consciousness regarding the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits, encompassing the cultivation method and his insights. It was equivalent to him directly slicing off his Imperial Throne-level experience and delivering it into Shen Mu's thought!
Though he harbored the intention of seizing Shen Mu's body and turning him into another self to achieve a kind of rebirth, the Heavenly Duke was right there beside them. Under such circumstances, he could not play any tricks.
Shen Mu's mind suddenly gained the cultivation method and cultivation experience of the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits. His vision and insight were instantly elevated to a terrifying height. To examine this method through the eyes of an Imperial Throne — the delight in his heart could well be imagined!
The Heavenly Duke said, "The Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits can strengthen your thought, but your current thought still cannot contend with Shen Fengqing. This requires me to help you strengthen your spirit."
