" Shu Jun laughed. "It is a deal!
" "It is a deal! " Shu Jun was overjoyed. "This brat is rarely so straightforward! Heh heh, the Tai Emperor's Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness is better than my Three Enclosures Supreme Consciousness by who knows how much, and this fellow does not realize he has taken a great loss. .
. wait a moment!
" His two great eyeballs blinked their lids, and he suddenly came to his senses.
"If I restore my brain, I can seize the chance to take his body, wipe out this fellow's consciousness, and then slowly refine the Tai Emperor. Would that not be even better?
I teach him the refining method, and never mind whether the Tai Emperor's divine consciousness he has imprisoned contains the Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness; even if it does, I have no brain and cannot cultivate it.
. .
I have taken a great loss!
" His great head raged atop the altar, the two eyeballs bounding to and fro, and he cried, "Little brat, you dare toy with a Divine King? You are dead, I tell you, dead! " Shen Mu laughed.
"Is the Divine King Shu Jun, one of the Three Kings of High Antiquity, going to break his word and grow fat on it?
" After a while, Shu Jun finally calmed down, and he did keep his promise in the end, teaching Shen Mu the method of refining divine consciousness to obtain the memories within it, though he was exceedingly displeased about it. The method he taught was likewise a divine ability of divine consciousness, called Treading Heaven, Transmuting Consciousness.
Once Shen Mu had learned it, he at once set about modifying it; Shu Jun was long accustomed to this, for whatever Shen Mu learned from him he would always modify, and Shu Jun had no way to object. When Shen Mu had finished his modifications to Treading Heaven, Transmuting Consciousness, he went off in high spirits to refine the Tai Emperor's divine consciousness.
Treading Heaven, Transmuting Consciousness was a divine ability within the Three Enclosures Supreme Consciousness art. It required mobilizing the seventy-eight star mansions and three hundred and twenty-eight orthodox star deities of the Three Enclosures Supreme Consciousness; the mansions and stars would turn and shift, the three hundred and twenty-eight orthodox star deities treading the heavens, moving the stars and changing the constellations, making mansions and stars revolve in strange patterns. Each movement generated a mighty refining force that refined the enemy's divine consciousness and took it for one's own. The memories within the enemy's divine consciousness would be refined and flow into one's own mind as knowledge, without altering one's own thinking, equivalent to providing nourishment for one's own divine consciousness.
Thus one avoided being assimilated by the enemy's divine consciousness, and could refine it to raise one's own divine consciousness cultivation. Treading Heaven, Transmuting Consciousness was a divine ability created in the ancient era by the Creators against other Creators; in that age battles among the Creators were exceedingly frequent, and so how to destroy one's enemies became a subject of study for the Creators of that time. Yet the divine abilities of that age were vastly different from those of the present day, and to Shen Mu it was still an unfamiliar field.
Within the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury he drove Treading Heaven, Transmuting Consciousness and began by refining the Tai Emperor's divine consciousness trapped in the Heavenly Vase.
In an instant a vast and tangled flood of knowledge surged in, exceedingly disordered, and all manner of images rose in Shen Mu's mind: the currents of the Tai Emperor's memory!
He at once discarded the chaff to keep the essence, searching the Tai Emperor's memory currents for what was useful and grinding away what he did not need. The Tai Emperor's divine consciousness contained far too much; the memories of the ancient era alone encompassed countless pieces of knowledge.
Shen Mu frowned deeply.
