Shen Mu was not entirely certain either. He said, "What effects destroying the Divine Bridge Divine Treasury directly would cause, I do not know..."
The Old Farmer suddenly spoke. "There is not much effect. I have no Divine Bridge."
Everyone turned to look at him. The Old Farmer said, "With the Divine Bridge missing, the other divine treasuries do indeed bear tremendous pressure, but they can withstand it."
The Imperial Preceptor of Jingping said, "My martial uncle's physical body has reached an extremely high attainment, which is why he can withstand it. But not everyone possesses such a powerful physical body as my martial uncle. To be safe, I think we should first seal the Southern Heavenly Gate, then sever the Divine Bridge. I will create the technique for sealing the Southern Heavenly Gate. Sealing it is not too troublesome."
Shen Mu continued, "Xu Shenghua and I have been researching how to merge the divine treasuries into one, and over these years we have made considerable progress. The Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge was created by Xu Shenghua. If one possesses the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge, the divine treasuries can also be made more stable, and one's cultivation will be more powerful than that of divine ability users without the Jianmu. However, the Jianmu Divine Bridge requires extremely high attainment in the arts of calculation, and those who can cultivate it are likely very few."
Everyone praised in unison, "Xu Shenghua is indeed a talent of unmatched brilliance."
"First, place the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge in the great academies and the Imperial Academy. Whoever can cultivate it may do so."
Emperor Yanfeng said, "If one cannot cultivate it, there is no need to force it."
Shen Mu nodded. He hesitated a moment, then said, "Everyone, look at my divine treasuries again."
His aura surged, and suddenly beneath the divine dao treasuries that had just appeared, a series of inverted reflections emerged. The demon dao divine treasury system gushed forth all at once—there too was a Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge, there too were the Spirit Fetus, Five Luminaries, Six Harmonies, Seven Stars and other divine treasuries, and there too was a Heavenly River hanging inverted, connected to the Heavenly River in the divine dao treasuries!
The crowd erupted in an uproar, utterly shocked, and then broke into heated discussion, voices clamoring in a chaotic tangle.
Suddenly, the Village Head swept a contemptuous glance over the crowd and sneered, "It is the Overlord Body."
Granny Zhu, the Deaf Elder, the Butcher, Old Master Huo, the Blind Elder, and the other villagers of the Hidden Remnants Village all understood immediately, and laughed one after another. "These seniors may possess earth-shaking abilities, but their knowledge is shallow, not even comparable to ours. They do not know the marvel of the Overlord Body."
They were quite smug. After all, they had been immersed in the Village Head's influence long ago and had grown accustomed to such things.
"How was it cultivated?" The Scholar stepped forward to study it, and asked in amazement.
The Woodcutter, Emperor Shiyue, Emperor Shitian King Buddha and the others also crowded forward, probing it, and exclaimed in shock, "It is a real divine treasury, not a reflection!"
"The Heavenly River is real too!" the Fisherman Heavenly Master cried out.
The Old Farmer blurted out, "The other Life-and-Death Divine Treasury is different from the previous one!"
"Truly ignorant." The Second Ancestor crossed his arms and sneered.
The other Human Emperors also crossed their arms and sneered. "We knew long ago when he beat us senseless. Right, Primordial Ancestor?"
The Primordial Ancestor Human Emperor's expression did not change. He said, "Nonsense."
The Second Ancestor reminded him, "Master, you were beaten by him too."
The Primordial Ancestor's face turned livid in an instant. He stammered, "I was not..."
