"This kind of wheel resembles the wheels formed by the blessings of ancient gods, and is also somewhat similar to the wheels behind the heads of those ancient god phantoms in the Blood Rust Zone. " Shen Mu was astonished beyond measure—the Primordial Stone had revealed to him an entirely different method of cultivation and divine power.
Those who cultivate divine powers rely on runes and primordial qi. When cultivators of divine powers learn various techniques, they first open the Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury, which takes ancient gods as its model, thereby obtaining different primordial qi natures—this is the origin of Jing Ping's Four Great Spirit Bodies.
To master a divine power, one must cultivate different techniques and learn the divine power runes derived from the structure of ancient gods, using primordial qi to construct these runes so the divine power can exert its might. Of course, there are exceptions—such as the school of combat techniques and sword-path divine powers, which are not structured according to ancient god runes but were created by people after birth.
But the creators of the Hongmeng Era completely departed from this.
They did not use runes or primordial qi, nor did they study the structure of ancient gods to devise Dao runes. They used consciousness.
Their consciousness was innately incomparably powerful, and strengthened by the Primordial Godstone or the Primordial Stone, it possessed inconceivable might.
This was an entirely different cultivation system. His mind stirred again, and the wheel of the Heavenly River behind his head transformed into a wheel of the Azure Dragon, like an azure dragon with head and tail joined.
As it revolved, dragon cries and thunder roars erupted, even producing strange sounds like the Eight Sounds of the Ancestral Dragon, shaking his very flesh.
The Azure Dragon Wheel's enhancement of his physical primordial qi was immense, not at all inferior to his own activation of the Eight Sounds of the Ancestral Dragon—even stronger. His thoughts kept changing, and the Azure Dragon Wheel transformed into a wheel of golden light, ten thousand rays of golden light like a wheel formed of countless golden swords.
The golden light then transformed into the Xuandu Starlight Wheel, like a river of stars coiled behind his head, and then into the Youdu Mara Wheel, a single strand of black qi forming a wheel, as if it were a gateway straight to the Netherworld. Not long after the Youdu Mara Wheel formed, a light was seen shining from the darkness behind the wheel.
The old underworld courier, carrying a lantern and riding a paper boat, hurried over to see who had dared open the barrier between the real world and the Netherworld. But before the old courier could arrive, the Youdu Mara Wheel behind Shen Mu's head had already transformed into the Yuandu Yuan Magnetic Wheel. "What manner of demon is stirring up trouble?
" The old courier, having come up empty, was furious.
But when he crossed the Netherworld's barrier into the real world, the Phoenix Ship had long since departed.
Shen Mu switched freely among wheels of various natures, greatly satisfied—except that each time he activated the Primordial Stone, Shu Jun would steal some of his blood, qi, and consciousness.
"Senior Shu Jun, does the Primordial Stone have other wondrous uses? The consciousness of you creators is incomparably powerful—this kind of stone must be able to strengthen consciousness, yes?
" he probed. Shu Jun did not answer, saying, "You have now witnessed the power of the Primordial Stone.
Will you cooperate with me? If you are willing to lend me enough blood, qi, and consciousness to aid my resurrection, I can transmit to you all the methods of using and cultivating Primordial Consciousness. " Shen Mu pondered.
"This kind of divine wheel is equivalent to an ancient god's blessing—equivalent to having a powerful divine power guarding one at every moment, an extra layer of protection!
