When the ancient door of the Tomb of the Gods was opened, there was a dark world behind the door, as if it led to the abyss.
He couldn't see through it or feel it.
"Go in," Wholehearted Holy Master said to Chen Zong.
Nodding, Chen Zong took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He stepped into the door of the Tomb of the Gods like water in an ancient well.
When Chen Zong stepped into the darkness, he had a wonderful feeling. It was as if he had left the original world and entered another one.
The Tomb of the Gods was indeed like another world.
The sky was dark, the earth was dark, and the air was still.
At first glance, there was a kind of emptiness and nothingness.
Desolate, cold, gloomy …
It was as if it was a world of the dead. Living creatures were not allowed to enter, and there was a sense of incompatibility.
Huge mausoleums were located on the gloomy earth. Each mausoleum looked huge and majestic, standing on the vast earth like a mountain. Each mausoleum had a different appearance.
Some of the mausoleums were like giant towers, some were like palaces, some were like giant turtles, and some were suspended in the air.
Every mausoleum was emitting a desolate and deathly still aura.
After careful observation, Chen Zong also noticed the difference.
Some of the mausoleums had a flame burning on them, but some had no flame burning on them.
A mausoleum without a flame meant that the god inside was gone, which meant that it had been taken by someone else.
A mausoleum with a flame meant that there was a god inside.
If there was a god, Chen Zong could get the god's approval and protection.
As for how to get the god's approval and protection, Chen Zong didn't know. His master, Wholehearted Holy Master, didn't teach him in detail. He only said that when he saw a mausoleum with a flame, he had to step into it and calm his mind to sense it.
Maybe this was the way to get the god's approval.
Chen Zong didn't know anything about the gods. He only heard about it from his master, so he didn't know how to choose. However, getting the god's approval and protection was a good thing.
So, let's get started.
The flames on the closest mausoleum had already been extinguished, which meant that the deities were no longer there. They could only go deeper.
The conditions for the formation of a deity were very strict.
First of all, it had to be at least at the Dao Sovereign level, or even at the Sovereign level.
Secondly, the body would perish. There was no cure, but the soul would not completely scatter.
Furthermore, if one were to die, they would have to return to the Heavenly Palace of Will in the shortest amount of time possible and send them into the Tomb of Gods. Then, they would have to build a tomb and place their bodies inside. The tomb and the Tomb of Gods would slowly transform their bodies and Yuan Shen into a godly spirit.
All in all, it was very strange and very special. Chen Zong did not know the secret behind it. The only thing he knew was that these cultivators who had become gods had done it willingly. After becoming gods, they recognized the juniors of the Heavenly Palace and protected them with their last bit of strength.
Chen Zong slowly walked inside with a solemn and dignified attitude.
Standing in the Tomb of Gods, Chen Zong looked around. There were mausoleums everywhere, although they were far from each other.
Following his master's instructions, Chen Zong closed his eyes and adjusted his state of mind, eliminating all distracting thoughts. He calmed his mind and focused on the Thirty-three Layers Heaven Technique.
Thirty-three Layers Heaven Technique was the mainstream technique of the Heavenly Palace of Will. It was also a symbolic technique. Everyone in the Heavenly Palace of Will would cultivate it.
The aura of the Thirty-three Layers Heaven Technique slowly spread out. Then, it spread to the surroundings. At first, it was faint, but gradually grew stronger. Finally, it became strong.
Chen Zong's body seemed to be burning with flames, as if he had activated the Heart Flame Divine Ability.
Obtaining the recognition and protection of the gods was difficult, but it was also easy to say that it was easy.
It was just a matter of calming one's mind and focusing on the technique.
The aura gradually grew stronger, as if it had turned into a gust of wind. It drifted in the silent Tomb of Gods, sweeping in all directions.
As Chen Zong's aura continued to spread, it grew stronger and stronger. The burning mausoleums seemed to feel it. They gradually swayed as if they were being blown by the wind.
Slowly, the swaying of the flames became more obvious and more intense. They continued to burn, becoming more and more vigorous.
One flower, two flowers, three flowers, four flowers, five flowers …
As the five flames burned, gradually, a sound rang out from within the mausoleum. From the sound of it, it seemed to be the sound of chains shaking. Within the five burning mausoleums, ancient bronze coffins slowly rose up, floating in the air above the mausoleums.
Chen Zong opened his eyes and looked at the five ancient bronze coffins floating in the air. Chains formed by the power of the Great Path firmly locked the coffins. The other end of the chains extended into the mausoleums.
The burning flame flew up and immediately entered the ancient bronze coffin. Numerous sounds also sounded from within the ancient bronze coffin. It was as if something was awakening within the ancient bronze coffin and was about to break out of the coffin.
Strands of aura also spread out from the ancient bronze coffin. Soon after, Chen Zong felt as though he could see the ancient times. Numerous illusory figures stepped out from the ancient bronze coffin, and the void was as flat as the ground.
The five figures were all different. Although their faces were blurry, one could vaguely make out the appearance of an old man, a middle-aged man, a woman and a young man.
Each of the five figures was covered in layers of halos that seemed like blazing halos. It was as if a divine radiance had enveloped them. It was as if a god had descended and was filled with an ancient and sacred aura.
"You are only at the initial level of the Yuan Underworld Realm, yet you were able to cultivate to the 11th level of the 33 Levels of Intent and forge 11 Heart Palaces. Not bad." The old man seemed to be smiling.
In all fairness, forging 11 Heart Palaces at the initial level of the Yuan Underworld Realm was very shocking.
The 33 Levels of Intent could forge 33 Heart Palaces. 11 Heart Palaces was one-third of the total.
There were five levels in the Spirit Ascension Realm. On average, it was equivalent to forging six to seven Heart Palaces per level.
In other words, at the limit of the Dao Controlling Realm, an ordinary disciple of the Intent Sky Palace could forge six Heart Palaces. The better ones could forge seven Heart Palaces. Geniuses could forge eight Heart Palaces, but that was only eight.
After breaking through to the initial level of the Yuan Underworld Realm, forging eight or nine Heart Palaces was considered a pretty good standard.
If one could forge 10 Heart Palaces at the initial level of the Yuan Underworld Realm, it would be extremely shocking.
Chen Zong had forged 11 Heart Palaces and was in the process of forging the 12th Heart Palace. This surpassed many geniuses of the Intent Sky Palace.
The five figures were all astonished.
After becoming a god, one didn't lose all their memories or consciousness. They would still possess intelligence. Their intelligence would be similar to when they were alive.
Every god had memories from when they were alive. They also possessed powers that they hadn't possessed when they were alive.
"Kid, I was the Sky Will Holy Venerate when I was alive. I belonged to the Intent Palace and cultivated the 33 Levels of Intent to the 27th level. I am proficient in three types of Tai Mystic Abilities and 18 types of Mysterious Mystic Abilities …" The old man introduced himself directly, but it sounded like he was promoting himself.
The other four figures also introduced which palace they belonged to, what Dao Venerates they were, what mystic abilities they possessed, what they were proficient in, and so on.
Chen Zong was a little dumbfounded and couldn't react for a moment.
His master had said before that it was still unknown whether he could obtain the recognition of a god.
The recognition of a god meant that the god would appear.
Now, five gods had appeared, which meant that Chen Zong had obtained the recognition of five gods. Of course, Chen Zong could only choose one god and not all five. This was the rule.
Every god was ultimately formed by the spirit and mind of a different Dao Venerate. They possessed the wisdom of each Dao Venerate when they were alive. They were all proficient in different things and their combat strength when they were alive also differed.
All in all, it was also a matter of learning how to choose.
Of course, even if he made a random choice, it wouldn't be harmful to himself. It would only be beneficial. However, how to maximize the benefits to himself was a problem that had to be considered.
After the five gods finished their self-introductions, they stared at Chen Zong, waiting for Chen Zong's choice.
To be honest, gods were a kind of life extension of Dao Venerates. They had been here for a long time and they also hoped to leave and go out again.
However, if they didn't take a liking to someone, they wouldn't compromise.
There was no doubt that Chen Zong was very outstanding, which made them very tempted. They directly recognized Chen Zong and wanted to protect Chen Zong in his cultivation.
However, when gods chose people, it was also the same for people to choose gods.
Chen Zong was thinking. Although he was tempted, he didn't make a choice immediately. In fact, Chen Zong wasn't very satisfied with the five gods.
If people knew Chen Zong's thoughts, they would probably hack him to death.
They wanted to be recognized by one god but couldn't. You were recognized by five gods and could choose one of them. What a huge difference this was, and you still had to be picky.
Aura!
Chen Zong had been operating the Thirty-three Heavens of the Mind, constantly releasing the aura of the cultivation method. With a flash of inspiration, Chen Zong activated the aura of the Sword Principle.
The aura of the Taichu Sword Energy Technique and the Heart Sword Principle also spread out, overlapping and merging with the aura of the Thirty-three Heavens of the Mind.
It was a seemingly illusory aura, but it was also an extremely sharp aura. This kind of sharpness could tear apart all sword shadows and penetrate all nothingness. It was as if heaven and earth, the world, and everything in the void, regardless of whether it was hard or soft, existence or nothingness, couldn't resist this sharpness from the heart.
When this aura swept out, the figures of the five gods trembled while the divine radiance that suffused their bodies rippled incessantly like water. It showed that they were extremely surprised, or perhaps it should be said that they were extremely shocked.
This aura …
Was even more shocking!
In an instant, more flames burned fiercely on the mausoleum. One after another, ancient bronze coffins emerged from the mausoleum and appeared above the mausoleum, releasing an ancient and sacred aura.
