Vast amounts of Mental Energy surged into Lu Sheng's main body like a tidal wave.
Lu Sheng felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. He found it slightly difficult to breathe.
The endless stream of Mental Energy left as quickly as it came.
When it was over, Lu Sheng was stunned by the amount of Mental Energy that surged into his body.
Deep Blue's light blue interface clearly displayed the Mental Energy: 7,413,121 units.
'I've increased it by nearly 3,000,000 units in just a few breaths …' Lu Sheng took a deep breath. He exhaled, and spat out Empress Wa's essence.
'This essence is only enough to increase 100 years' worth of cultivation base for me. However, there's so much Mental Energy … 'Lu Sheng's expression calmed down. He pinched the essence.
Initially, he planned to deal with the Indefinite Cult before leaving this world. However, it seemed like there was no rush …
He closed his eyes and summoned his other clones. Together with the clone in the Indefinite Cult's location, there were four of them.
The three clones and the one in the Indefinite Cult's location formed a triangular formation with a central point.
Lu Sheng had initially planned to use this as a base to unleash his Heart World and cover the entire Indefinite Cult.
He had only summoned his clones to use them as a base to wipe out the Indefinite Cult's members in one fell swoop.
This was both a test and a demonstration of his strength.
His Heart World could instantly devour living beings. It was enough to instantly deal a devastating blow to the Indefinite Cult's middle and low-ranking members.
However, he did not expect the Indefinite Cult's master to suddenly appear and give him such a surprising suggestion.
'Empress Wa's true body …'
The pure white gem behind Lu Sheng flashed with a faint glow.
'If Empress Wa's true body is as huge as the Indefinite Cult's master said, then this mission will be enough for me to live on for many years … I can consider it. However, the Indefinite Cult's master isn't even angered when someone comes knocking on his door. He's a shrewd man. I have to be wary of him. '
Lu Sheng knew very well that as a cultivator, the higher his tier was, the more he had to be clear about his own nature. However, someone at the level of the Indefinite Cult's master was not displeased with him for barging into the headquarters.
There was only one possibility.
He must have some ulterior motives for Lu Sheng. This kind of intention was enough to offset the anger of his own faction being attacked.
"It doesn't matter if it's for use or something else … this Mental Energy …" Lu Sheng's expression changed.
No matter what the other party intended to do with him, if he could retreat in time and obtain enough Mental Energy, he might not run into trouble if he managed to control the risk well.
"Fine. Riches and honor come from danger. If I don't want to take any risks, then I won't be able to get much benefit." Lu Sheng's heart settled, and his expression became calm.
Within the prison of Kongying Mountain.
Lu Sheng's clone exhaled slowly.
"If all of Empress Wa's Essence Qi has such a powerful effect, then what do I need to do to participate?" he asked in a low voice.
The smile on the Indefinite Cult Master's face deepened.
"It's very simple. Your divine soul is that of a Heavenly Demon God, and it has the innate ability to corrode dreams. Empress Wa is currently in a state of qualitative change, and her consciousness has fallen into a dreamscape. We will naturally be able to obtain enough Essence Qi. "
"In that case, how can I be sure that you won't abandon me after obtaining the Essence Qi?" Lu Sheng sneered.
The Indefinite Cult Master was not angered. He said with a smile, "It's very simple. Empress Wa's Essence Qi and her divine soul are one. If you want the Essence Qi to leave Empress Wa completely, not only will you have to separate your physical body, but you'll also have to obtain Empress Wa's soul essence from her dreamscape. Only when the soul essence and the Spiritual Qi of the physical body are one will the true Empress Wa's Essence Qi be formed. You're a Heavenly Devil Void Underworld being. You should be able to see the structure of Empress Wa's Essence Qi. "
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. Naturally, he could not trust the Indefinite Cult Master completely. However, the temptation of the Essence Qi being worth millions of Mental Energy units was too great.
After this, he might even be able to accumulate enough Mental Energy to rank up to the peak of the Void Underworld tier.
"How can I trust you?"
The Indefinite Cult Master shook his head, and said, "Then, you'll have to take a gamble."
After a moment of silence, Lu Sheng suddenly asked.
"How do I do it?"
The Indefinite Cult Master was stunned. Then, he revealed a joyful smile. After giving detailed instructions to Lu Sheng, he told Lu Sheng about everything he needed to pay attention to. Then, he slowly retreated from the dungeon.
He shot into the skies from the dungeon's door. A silver ball burning with black flames slowly materialized behind the Indefinite Cult Master.
"Looks like we don't have to resort to other methods." The gloomy voice of an old woman came from the ball.
"Just in case, it's better to be prepared." The Indefinite Cult Master gave it some thought. He smiled and flicked his finger. A golden radiance shot out from his fingertip and instantly vanished into the air.
"Come to think of it, apart from those low-ranked Heavenly Devils, this is the fifth Void Underworld tier. It's been tens of thousands of years. I hope this one can give us a pleasant surprise," a voice came from the silver ball.
"It's alright. If it fails again, we'll just kill it and guide some Heavenly Devils over. We'll have to take our time to accumulate. "The Indefinite Cult Master wore a smile on his face.
"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been in vain for me to distort the space-time vortex around us and increase the flow of time."
…
…
Inside the straw hut, Lu Sheng was frowning as he thought about his meeting with the Indefinite Cult Master.
Suddenly, a golden speck flashed past his back.
It was soundless. There were no energy ripples or airflow effects. There was not even a trace of space.
The golden speck instantly sank into his back and vanished.
His instincts told him that the Indefinite Cult Master was at most a Master-tier. Now that he had entered the Half-Void Underworld tier and was a Heavenly Devil, if he fled with all his might, the Indefinite Cult Master might not be able to stop him.
However, for some reason, Lu Sheng had a feeling that he might be in grave danger at any moment.
'7,000,000 Mental Energy units …' However, when he thought about it, this much Mental Energy was enough for him to improve his strength greatly in a short amount of time.
He quickly looked at the frame on Deep Blue's interface.
"White Feather Mantra, Complete. Competence, 1,988 years. "Then, there were a bunch of special traits that increased his speed and explosive power.
'My cultivation method is still the same as before my tier was upgraded. However, with the reincarnation heart, my actual combat strength has increased by leaps and bounds. This epiphany of my tier is truly wondrous. '
Lu Sheng was slightly emotional. Before he gained epiphany, he did not settle down when he was roaming. He had also improved the White Feather Mantra's competence slightly. However, after he settled down, he no longer made any progress in this area.
After waiting for a while, four black spiritual radiances suddenly shot toward him from the distant horizon. The black radiances shot into his forehead with a whoosh and vanished completely.
'Clones retrieved. Now, it's time to prepare for the future. I can't derive the cultivation method for now. I've merely increased my competence. I'll need to collect more cultivation methods and mantras. '
All these years, Lu Sheng had remained in the mortal world. In order to gain epiphany, he had not gone around collecting cultivation methods with the help of the Taoist sects. Hence, his foundation was still the same as it was 100 years ago.
'Since I'm working with the Indefinite Cult now, it seems like I should be able to get enough mantras and cultivation methods from them.'
Lu Sheng did not head over with his main body. He merely separated himself from the black radiance and flew away. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the horizon.
He watched the spiritual radiance leave. Then, he closed his eyes and entered a meditative state again.
'Now, it's time to prepare for Empress Wa's Dream …'
…
The chaotic world lasted for another five years before it finally reached a balance.
The Indefinite Cult suddenly retreated, and entered a stalemate with the School of Spring and Autumn. The School of Spring and Autumn, which had the upper hand, suddenly retreated, puzzling everyone. They reconciled with their opponent.
The mortal world, which was supposed to be embroiled in chaos, strangely entered a period of peace and stability.
At the same time, in a primeval forest several tens of thousands of miles away from the West Cliff Dynasty's territory.
Above the boundless sea of dark green trees, three streaks of white light streaked through the air. In the blink of an eye, they traversed thousands of miles.
Among the streaks of light were three old men of different shapes and sizes.
If an elite from the Taoist sects saw this, he might be shocked. The Indefinite Cult Master and the Spring and Autumn Sect Master were moving together without any ill feelings.
Moreover, the other white-haired old man beside them seemed to be traveling at the same pace as the two of them.
None of the Taoists had seen this third white-haired old man before.
"We're here!" The Spring and Autumn Sect Master came to a sudden stop. Then, he landed on a huge vine that was ten meters thick.
The Indefinite Cult Master and the other old man descended at the same time. They landed on another vine.
Below the three of them was a pitch-black, pulsating ball.
The edge of the black ball shone with faint colorful light. It looked like a metal frame. Its core seemed to be devouring everything in the forest around it.
Soil, crushed rocks, tree roots, leaves, and everything else slowly turned into transparent spots of light. They were sucked into the black ball.
"This is the entrance to Empress Wa's Dreamland." The Spring and Autumn Sect Master was a fierce-looking old woman with extremely long eyebrows. She wore a pure white robe and a white ornament on her head. She held a wooden walking stick in her hand.
She looked coldly at the third old man.
"How is it? Can we go in? "
The third old man had an ordinary face. If it were not for the wisps of white smoke lingering around him, he would most likely look no different from an ordinary old man.
When he heard the question, he smiled faintly.
"I'll give it a try."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, whether we can gain anything from this trip will depend on you. Compared to the previous few times, the danger this time is greater, but the rewards are greater as well. Please be extremely careful, "the Indefinite Cult Master reminded him calmly.
"Of course, I understand." The third old man was none other than Lu Sheng. He had used his old self to meet with the two cult masters.
His spirit possessed the Heavenly Devil's Nature Deceiving ability. Coupled with his other disguise, he was well-concealed.
However, even Lu Sheng did not know if he could deceive the two of them.
However, he did not care if he could not deceive them.
"Please protect me." Lu Sheng leaped and charged toward the black ball.
The Indefinite Cult Master reached out and grabbed at the air. Blurry white fog immediately filled the surroundings, covering the sea of trees within ten thousand kilometers.
Almost at the same time, all living beings within ten thousand kilometers fell into a deep slumber, unconscious.
If this was on Earth, it would be a terrifying Art that could instantly cover the area of an entire country. It was enough to destroy the world.
However, here, in this place known as the Mystic World, it could only cover a sea of trees that was not considered large for the Mystic World.
Lu Sheng landed gently before the black ball. He slowly extended his hand and flicked out a wisp of black Qi.
The black Qi instantly shot out of the black ball and landed in the sea of trees to the north, burning a small patch of grass.
