Chapter 973 — The Supreme Divine Consciousness
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
The Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness he had obtained was incomplete, lacking the methods for the Seven Stars Divine Treasury and the Heaven-Man Divine Treasury, and beyond the Heavenly Palace realm it lacked the methods for the realms after the Jade Capital! "The Tai Emperor modified the art!
" Shen Mu's mind reeled, and he felt as though he had put all his strength into a punch and struck empty air.
Had it been the original Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness, he could have taken the original art, fused it with his own Primal Embryo Divine Treasury, and modified and perfected it until the art suited him.
But once the Tai Emperor fused the Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness with the divine treasury and Heavenly Palace cultivation systems, its use to him was no longer so great. For he had only one divine treasury, the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury; he did not even have a Heavenly Palace!
The art's usefulness to him was thus negligible.
He taught the fragmentary Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness to Shu Jun, and Shu Jun too was stunned for a moment, yet he still studied it earnestly.
Puzzled, Shen Mu asked, "Divine King Shu Jun, you are one of the Three Kings of High Antiquity, so why must you still learn the divine treasury and Heavenly Palace cultivation systems?
The modified Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness is of little use to me, and of even less use to you!
" "Little devil, do you think that after my rebirth I will still walk the path of divine-consciousness visualization? " Shu Jun wagged his head, and his two eyeballs flew from their sockets and bounced about.
One eye said, "If I still walk the path of divine-consciousness visualization, I will be one man contending against the knowledge and achievements of a million years of all living beings, and I will be eliminated by the times like the other Creators, until at last the Creators go extinct.
" The other eye laughed. "After my rebirth, I will learn your cultivation systems and fuse them with the Creators' methods of divine-consciousness visualization. That way, even without the complete Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness, my achievements will not be much inferior to the Tai Emperor's.
" Shen Mu was stunned. Shu Jun's two eyes drove his divine consciousness, which ceaselessly evolved and deduced the mysteries of the Daluo Supreme Divine Consciousness. He continued, "I entered your divine treasury and found that your divine treasury does not match the Tai Emperor's art; it lacks many divine treasuries.
You have likely walked out a path of your own, yet you are trapped upon your own path.
There is no road ahead, and you do not know how to go on. " Shen Mu nodded. Shu Jun had spoken his sore spot. He had opened the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury and used it to evolve the primordial universe, yet the development of the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury must one day reach its end.
Earlier he had already exhausted the potential of the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury, and only later, after obtaining the Primal Chaos Essence from the Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign, had he roused a little of its potential once more.
Even so, the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury truly had no more potential left to tap.
Especially of late, he had felt his mana rise to its limit, reaching the utmost the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury could attain; his vital essence cultivation was now equivalent to that of a True God, yet that too was the end of the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury. That was why he had labored so bitterly over divine consciousness, hoping that a stone from another mountain might polish this jade, seeking to break free of his present predicament. How the road ahead should be walked, he had never clearly thought through.
He wished to open a new path upon the foundation of the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury, yet where that path lay and where it led, he had never had a definite notion.
