Chapter 217: The Mirage Forms a Golden Body

Little heaven?
Zhou Tieyi of Tiangong knew this.

The place where the nine ancient gods made a covenant and slept is also the eternal resting place of one of the gods.

But it was the first time that Xiao Tiangong himself heard of it.

However, it can be called by this name, and Wuchang God said that this is an opportunity to "establish a divine court". So a bold guess is that perhaps the "Little Heavenly Palace" is a secret place modeled after the Heavenly Palace, but we don't know who established it yet.

Zhou Tieyi concentrated his mind more and drove himself deeper into the dark screen, wanting to see the scene inside.

He vaguely saw three changing dragon seals, which formed a "key". Zhou Tieyi hurriedly wrote down the changes of the three dragon seals. This should be the key obtained by Wuchang God. He usurped the name of Wuchang God, so the recording of these three dragon seals went smoothly.

But I still can't see any picture of the so-called "Little Heavenly Palace".

This should be the concealment ability of the "Little Heavenly Palace". Although his own [Usurpation of God] magical power is powerful, it is only a magical power after all, not omnipotent.

Then Zhou Tieyi carefully experienced the scenes before and after of the "Little Heavenly Palace" that Wuchangshen still remembered clearly.

Suddenly he discovered some important points.

The Five Gods had entered the Small Heavenly Palace, but they might not have gained much benefit. On the contrary, they were seriously injured and recuperated for a long time. They might even have died there once and then been resurrected through the name of God.

This is reflected in Wuchang God's memory as a long sleep and darkness, which also explains why Wuchang God has good talent, but after so long, he is still lingering at the fifth level.

That's because they were injured and fell into a dormant state, so they just happened to avoid some major disasters, such as the period when Taizu of Daxia dominated the world. He only slowly recovered in the last hundred years, hid in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south to cause trouble, and was eventually killed by Gongsun Chou.

Perhaps he could find some clues about the "Little Heavenly Palace" by searching for the area where Wuchang God was active some time ago.

After noting this, Zhou Tieyi continued to explore the memory scenes of Wuchang God. There were no big surprises left. Wuchang God buried several small treasures in the Ten Thousand Mountains, but from this memory, he did not find any clues about the Small Heavenly Palace. Therefore, these small treasures are useful for mid-level practitioners, but for himself, it is not worth the risk of being exposed and spending time looking for them.

As for continuing to use the name of Wuchang God...

Zhou Tieyi thought of [Taixu Illusion Realm]. He just needed a name to really infiltrate the enemy. The resurrected Five Gods could be a reasonable name with a traceable basis.

However, this time when he read the memory images of Wuchang God, he gained another benefit, which was that he obtained the complete cultivation insights of gods from the ninth to the fifth grade.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tieyi’s mind escaped into the barbaric world.

In the burning fire pit, Zhou Tieyi knew the development of the entire tribe very well.

For a tribe that has entered the construction period, it is impossible for much change to occur in one or two months. Even if one asks the tribe to plant wheat, only green seedlings will grow in one or two months.

The only change worth celebrating is that the number of newborns increased by more than thirty, which is a 10% increase compared to the tribe of more than 400 people.

But it was still a little too slow, Zhou Tieyi thought. It was a pity that the people in the tribe could not grow and reproduce as quickly as in the game.

If one wants to expand the tribe, the only most realistic way is to launch an external war of aggression, with the Yanhuang tribe as the core, annex other tribes, and establish an early slave society.

Zhou Tieyi is already doing this. Letting Wu Mu and other nine most powerful warriors leave the siege of Xishan and explore the outside world is the first step. However, this also takes time. With Zhou Tieyi's help, Wu Mu and others have only left the 400-mile Xishan territory after so many days. It is estimated that before they meet other humans or gods, they will not pray to disturb themselves.

In the fire pit, Zhou Tieyi began to think about the issue of Shinto practice.

The sign of the perfection of the practice of 'Concentrated Divine Seal' is to master one's own divine power through the condensed divine seal, and with the help of the divine power, to refine the power of rules with the spirit and obtain enough divine power.

The underlying logic is similar to the blood and energy in martial arts. Even though Zhou Tieyi had not obtained the complete method of Shinto practice before, the ability to condense divine power is a basic ability of gods, just like blood and energy is a basic ability of humans.

It’s just that most natural gods don’t know how to control and use their own power most effectively, just like the original master of Xishan Mountain.

At this level, and even at the first three levels of Shinto practice, Zhou Tieyi could vaguely feel that the practice of gods did not completely require the participation of "humans".

Concentrating the mind seal, shaping the golden body, and tempering the soul can actually be accomplished by the gods themselves. This kind of practice is more suitable for those natural gods with powerful authority.

But he was born to be suited to another path. As a god created by the ancestors of the Yanhuang tribe, even if his will came from outer space, in this world, he was firmly bound to the Yanhuang tribe. They would prosper and suffer together. He was a god born to exist because of "people".

Authority means responsibility, which is something that gods cannot get rid of. And according to the development and evolution of Shintoism that I have found, the participation and help of "people" can help gods better understand and master their own authority, which is a better path.

Of course, the "people" here does not only refer to human beings, but can be understood as all spiritual life, the "people" among the three elements of heaven, earth and man in a macro sense.

Back to ourselves, the Shinto practice methods provided by the Five Gods have been completely integrated with humans.

In this wild world, as the god of ancestral worship, his freedom of movement is lower than that of the mountain lord White Tiger, but he has also obtained something that White Tiger does not have.

For example, the fire pond that he had always used as the kingdom of God could indeed be used as the prototype of the kingdom of God. After several generations of sacrifices, it had stored a large amount of ownerless power.

After Zhou Tieyi took over and inherited the authority of the Tauren Lord, he naturally transformed these powers into his own divine power. The prosperity of the tribesmen and their pious sacrifices would help him refine the power of rules and gain divine power.

In the Concentrated Seal, 'with the help of divine authority, use the spirit to refine the power of rules.' The spirit here can generally refer to human beliefs. Although I did not have a complete method of practice before, I have completed my practice invisibly.

Then comes the second step of 'molding the golden body'.

According to the practice methods recorded by Wuchang Shen, the gods would choose spiritual materials from heaven and earth that matched their own attributes as the carriers of their own golden bodies, and then, through the method of offering incense, help the spirit of the gods to combine with the spiritual materials, and slowly shape the torso, limbs, facial features, etc. of a 'human'.

During this process, even non-human gods like the White Tiger will transform their golden bodies into human appearance as long as they accept incense and offerings from humans.

Correspondingly, if a human being is born as a god and receives offerings from a group of tigers, his golden body will also transform into that of a tiger.

Therefore, although the golden body is powerful, it is also the most susceptible to contamination.

If Zhou Tieyi was just a mountain master, then the most suitable carrier of his golden body would naturally be a powerful spiritual material such as a spiritual stone embryo.

Unfortunately, this kind of top-level spiritual material is hard to come by. At least in the 400-mile Xishan Mountains, Zhou Tieyi, as the master of the mountain, has not found it yet.

Moreover, the core of his priesthood is not the Lord of the Mountain, but the God of Usurpation.

He usurped the power of gods and was unpredictable. He possessed tens of millions of divine offices. Ordinary spiritual materials, even the spiritual stone embryo, had attribute biases, and it was difficult to fully exert the power of all divine offices.

The most suitable spiritual material for oneself...

Zhou Tieyi had already made up his mind. He called a soldier who was guarding the fire pit and asked him to inform the entire tribe that he would appear in the dreams of the tribesmen tonight.

After nightfall, except for the soldiers on duty, most people had fallen asleep. Even the children who were unable to sleep due to excitement fell asleep with the help of the dream-eating tapir.

The invisible and intangible mirage connected the dreams together, and at the same time, through each person's dream, it gathered more mirages and guided them above the fire pit, forming a brilliant cloud between reality and illusion, covering the surrounding ten acres.

Mirage is the material that Zhou Tieyi chose to make his golden body. Although the initial enhancement of this material is not strong, it has strong plasticity, high concealment, and strong resistance to pollution, which completely meets his idea of ​​​​the golden body.

Moreover, according to the information he knew, Lord Taixuhuan, one of the nine ancient gods, was able to ascend to the realm of the sun and the moon with the help of the authority of [Mirage] as the core. This meant that this path could be taken to the end, at least to the end of the path of cultivation as he currently understood it.

The divine power accumulated from generation to generation burned in the fire pit, forging invisible brilliant clouds and turning them into a more concrete existence. The soldiers who were still on duty suddenly saw a strange scene.

That is, the brilliant clouds gradually took on a human form under the burning of flames, turning into a three-meter-tall human figure. Above the human figure, colorful clouds formed a canopy, and below, flames formed a throne.

Zhou Tieyi had a different and peculiar feeling. He could feel that the dreams of every person he drew inspiration from wanted to shape his current body.

However, ordinary people do not have a fully clear understanding of dreams, so they can still take the initiative. They just need to shape this body to conform to the cognition of the vast majority of ordinary people in the tribe.

Simply put, just sculpt a human figure, don't make it too outrageous. As for the facial features, they don't need to be made too detailed, because too detailed facial features will reduce the god's haziness and majesty, and secondly, it will require correcting the cognition of most people.

Instead, it is a human face that keeps changing into male, female, old and young. It not only fits the form of his golden body forged with mirage energy, but also can be applied to the ever-changing cognition of most people in their dreams.

After it has a specific shape, the next step is to use divine power to polish the golden body bit by bit until it is completely formed.

　I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
