Chapter 678:

678 Soul and will, the gods enter Mount Shu (2 in 1)

Mount Shu.

As they walked along the white stone stairs, they saw countless magnificent palaces on the mountaintop and mountainside. They were surrounded by mist and looked like a paradise on earth.

In the main hall, Carolyn met with Liu Wenjian.

This legendary figure had gone mad and was the first true mortal heavenly Emperor in history. In the era of the pugilistic world, he had cut off his own arm to forge a sword as an ordinary mortal. He had assassinated many terrifying pugilistic world grandmasters, fifth and sixth stage Masters.

The ancient existence that started the mortal cultivation era was simply a legend.

"You want to see Mount Shu? Liu Wenjian was a little surprised.

However, with Mother Earth and Goddess Green vine accompanying him, it was clear that they were bringing this guest from another world to tour around and do their part as the host.

After that, the group walked to the back of the mountain. At the top of the mountain was the sword tomb. Halfway down the mountain, it was the sword washing pool. At the other end of the mountain was the sword furnace.

This was an extremely cruel and touching place.

It had the same structure as the swordsmithing Manor in the pugilistic world. It was filled with iron and sword embryos, and all kinds of ores could be found everywhere. It could be said that it was the Arsenal of the six worlds, providing the standard weapons of the divine Army from all worlds. And the disciples who wanted to enter Mount Shu first had to learn how to forge swords. This place was full of blacksmiths who forged swords and cultivated their skills.

Clang clang clang!

Countless people brandished their iron weapons with bare arms, and the furnaces were burning.

After seven to eight years of hard work, one would become a famous blacksmith and forge swords with their arms.

"If you want to go to Mount Shu to learn swordsmanship, you have to learn how to forge swords first. However, you have to be a blacksmith for a full seven to eight years. Life is unfair.

Liu Wenjian sighed, some people are born with great innate talent and are destined to embark on the path of cultivation. However, most of them are born without the so-called talent for cultivation. In order to become extraordinary, they have to put in a thousand times more effort and hardships before they can stand on the same level as others.

Carolyn couldnt deny it.

The vast transcendent world was mostly made up of mortals.

Even in the ancient lava domain of the three pillar gods, most of the mortals did not even have the aptitude of an arcane swordsman, which was the lowest level. Otherwise, there would not be a class.

"Isnt there already a branch of body cultivators? Carolyn asked.

Although body cultivation doesnt require bloodline talent, it consumes too many resources. Its the most resource-consuming system out of all systems. Its not something that ordinary people can afford. Even a cultivation family might not be able to afford one or two.

Liu Wenjian laughed, thats why most mortals who want to cultivate have to work hard and climb the tall and rugged Mount Shu to seek the path of immortality.

Of course. In Mount Shu, many disciples can earn their own cultivation resources after becoming sword Immortals before walking the path of body cultivation. Liu Wenjian looked at the red-hot furnace and said, after all, the Mount Shu disciples have combat power, but their lifespans are like that of mortals. If we cultivate the body cultivation technique, it will allow us to walk the path of true cultivators.

Carolyn nodded her head, carefully mulling over the meaning behind it.

There were many details and knowledge that could not be fully understood from stories.

However, its an extremely painful task for an ordinary person with no talent to stand shoulder to shoulder with a genius with cultivation talent. One hand must be put into the furnace while enduring the severe pain, and the other hand must be used to swing the iron hammer, forging and opening up the meridians and blood of the ordinary body of ones arm, so that ones arm has talent, and then cut it off.

Liu Wenjians voice was calm, but everyone knew that this was the cruelest form of torture in the world.

There was no other.

Putting his hand into the furnace?

What was the experience of swinging an iron hammer?

What kind of terrifying determination did he need?

In the end, a story was just a story. Only after seeing this scene with her own eyes did Carolyn realize how terrifying these mortals were.

Thats why Mount Shu is still so small in population. Every disciple of Mount Shu is terrifyingly resilient. If we look into it, they all had tragic stories before they came to the mountain.

Liu Wenjian smiled calmly, theres a saying in the mortal world that the path of Shu is difficult. Its harder than ascending to the heavens.

Those who could ascend Mount Shu were definitely not mortals and had seen past life and death.

However, it is also because they have experienced hardships that they are able to change and cherish each other. Every Mount Shu disciple, if they dont die along the way, will at least reach the level 7 heavenly Emperor realm.

Heavens! Emperor?

Carolyns expression changed slightly.

No wonder the Mount Shu sword sect developed so quickly.

When the war with the demonic world broke out, a large number of terrifying fighting forces emerged.

This was because their mental state had reached the required level. As long as they piled all kinds of resources and treasures on their swords, they would be able to slowly cultivate regardless of their realm.

After all, he could use the forging method to quickly raise the realm of the sword.

These words had completely explained the entire arduous process of mortals cultivation. Perhaps it could be written into a bloody epic: Mortal cultivation legend.

Or the legend of Mount Shu.

Clang!

Not far away, a middle-aged man was starting the final sword-forging ceremony.

Clang clang clang!

His hand reached into the furnace and forged his body. His face was crazy and stubborn, like a mad demon, as he madly waved a big hammer.

Contrary to Carolyns expectations, this mans expression was calm and gentle, as if he had seen through everything. There was no pain, only determination.

Clang clang clang!

He waved the iron hammer steadily.

Even the slightest tremble would cause the sword to fail.

It was as if he had been waiting for this moment for far too long. He had been waiting for this moment of extreme pain to be completely reborn from the ashes.

He was waiting for his illness to subside.

He was waiting for his illness to heal.

"Bearing a thousand heavy crimes, I wont give up.

Carolyns expression was not calm at all. In fact, she was a little shocked. its very hard to imagine what he had experienced to be able to walk towards calmness amidst his demonic state of madness. He used all his strength to swing the iron hammer, as if all of his pain and obsessions were pouring into the forged sword like a flood.

She thought of Liu Wenjian.

Perhaps, this middle-aged man was also in a similar situation.

They kneeled in front of the corpses and blood, wailing and crying. They hated themselves for being weak, hated themselves for being powerless, and hated themselves for having their families destroyed.

Being weak was an illness.

He was waiting for his illness to recover.

Mount Shu was a place where mortals went against the heavens and themselves.

Mount Shu is a place where the souls of the most sorrowful and determined people who have suffered in their lives are gathered. Their souls, flesh, blood, and will are infused into the sword like a flood. The arm is also a form of unity of soul and flesh.

Carolyns eyes exploded with brilliance, as if she had understood something.

No wonder the broken arm of Mount Shu could not be regrown no matter what mantras and methods were used.

This was because they had fused the soul of their arm into the sword and cut off the first part of their soul, forming some kind of flesh and blood on their arm.

These were the disciples of Mount Shu.

No matter how strong their cultivation was, even if they were like Liu Wenjian, who had stepped into the level of a level eight God and became a great existence with a high degree of rebirth of flesh and blood, they could only keep the truth of their broken arms forever.

His body was incomplete and never complete.

He had already cut off a part of his soul and fused it into the flesh of his arm, turning it into a sword.

After hearing Carolyns explanation, the cute girl shuddered. the mystery of Mount Shus eternal broken arm. Even the sect leader of Mount Shu can only be a gay. The truth of this mystery is actually Its not a moral decay!

It was a perfect fit for now!

It was perfectly unveiled!

It turned out that this was a weakened version of the fusion of soul and flesh to a certain extent.

Previously, he did not have enough knowledge to understand this strange phenomenon. Now, he understood.

It was as if everything in the world that pursued the ninth rank pointed to the same end.

Knowledge is the power of all things.

The cute girl suddenly remembered Hermess description of the truth:

When that time comes, all the mysteries of the world will disappear from your side!

At this moment, she trembled with excitement and almost lost her voice. She was completely convinced by the legendary Hermes. It turned out that all the knowledge had been by her side for a long time.

She suddenly thought of another saying:

There was no lack of beauty in the world, but there was a lack of vision to discover beauty.

This is Hermes. He wanted to tell us everything, but the answer to the riddle is already on Mount Shu.

Caroline was also completely shocked. Only after coming to this world did she know how cute girl and the others were feeling. Hermes was terrifying and mysterious to this world, as well as his terrifying role in advancing civilization.

But she was not an ordinary person after all. After a moment of silence, she continued to think,

The path of the soul and body of a level 9 cultivator can be referenced to the Shu faction. First, one must temper ones heart in the mortal world. One must have the same pain in their heart, shocking will, and determination as them. Then, one must create a furnace of heaven and earth and place oneself in it. One must use a terrifyingly high pressure to forge an environment to speed up the cultivation of the fusion of soul and body. One must speed up the process of polishing one hundred trillion cells and the speed of the fusion of each cell!

Just like the disciples of Mount Shu.

He used the furnace to speed up his own fusion, ruthlessly merging all of his soul, will, and emotions into his body.

"If you wish to become a demigod, you must first become a mortal. At this point, it was as if a Thunderbolt had exploded in Carolyns mind. A smooth path appeared before her eyes. lets go to Mount Shu first.

Thus, Caroline looked at the furnace, and then turned to look at the entire Mount Shu outside. She asked seriously, Im here on a journey. Can you let me join Mount Shu and start as a disciple?

Join Mount Shu?

Liu Wenjian was stunned.

Talented cultivators of Mount Shu would never come here to cultivate. This was an extremely unorthodox Dao created by mortals. Who would be so free as to waste their time on it?

Moreover, even if they reached the level of gods, they would not be able to recover.

If there were other choices, no one would choose to be so painful and incomplete.

This was not a system worth learning. Even other cultivators would not cultivate the sword immortal lineage like body cultivators.

"Im not cultivating the swordsmanship of Mount Shu, but Im learning the sword will, spirit, and determination of Mount Shu. Im here to cultivate, With a serious expression on her face, Carolyn said, this is the place where I will be sharpened on the path of the 9th rank. I feel that I will be able to understand a little.

Liu Wenjian was speechless and could only nod.

Carolyn had also sealed her own cultivation and started to learn like an ordinary person, experiencing all the hardships of the path of cultivation once again.

Soon, in less than a few days, the news was spread by the green vines of Mother Earth.

The entire six realms was shaken by this. This terrifying fact was simply unimaginable.

"Another ancient mystery has been solved?

"As early as in the ancient times, as an all knowing scholar, he had already told the world the two concepts of level 9? Did he use the HU rennong and Liu Wenjian that he taught back then?

"This? This was shocking! The historical conversation from before told me the mentality to reach the ninth step, and then told me the two concepts of the ninth step?

Mount Shus fusion of the soul and body might be the inspiration for the path to grade-9!?

No, no, the path of Mount Shu is right in general, but wrong in minor areas. They integrated this arm into their soul and flesh as a whole, as a huge iron plate, and not as an arm made of billions of cells, cutting the soul apart and integrating it into every part.

"Yeah, its not fine enough.

"But its inevitable. As the starting cultivation of an extremely low realm, how can it be so detailed? He must have treated the arm as a whole and fused it into the soul of the entire arm.

"However, the path of cultivation after Mount Shu has appeared.

Indeed, Liu Wenjian will re-cultivate the Mount Shu sword Codex and become a sword immortal. He will then refine his sword and transform it into a sword with tens of trillions of cells.

Treat the sword as a world. the Mount Shu sword immortal lineage is all about the nine levels of the great Dao! It can be cultivated to the ninth step!

However, Liu Wenjian is already a mid-level God, and the cultivation path of their lineage is secretly in line with that of a rank-9 God. Im afraid that once they break through to become high-level gods in the future, the progress of their integration on the rank-9 path will be countless times faster than ours.

In an instant, all the gods of the six worlds were moved.

Violent waves were set off in their hearts. At this moment, they were almost speechless to describe the shock in their hearts. They deeply felt that a terrifying ancient Supreme existence had left everything for them before his death. Everything seemed to have been nurtured and placed in front of them, teaching the mortals on the ground behind their backs.

"Hermes

Countless powerful existences turned their heads in vain and looked in a certain direction.

They had been cultivating in seclusion, but at this moment, they felt that they should change their place of cultivation.

In just a few days.

At the foot of Mount Shu, more than a dozen ordinary people who had their godly powers sealed appeared. They climbed up the mountain and asked the immortals.

They followed the answer left behind by Hermes.

To become a God, one must first become a mortal.

The gods entered Mount Shu.

The cold winter.

In an Orchard in the countryside of Tongcheng, Xu Zhi glanced at the cellar.

He looked at the spring-like primordial world and everything that had happened on Mount Shu before turning his gaze back.

He continued to fiddle with everything in the study room and construct everything.

In his opinion, this would be the origin of his new world, the world of the crystal wall system.

Although the size of the location was not a big requirement for the spiritual world, Xu Zhi still wanted to make the environment better. After all, this place was similar to a computer room.

It seems that I have to start breeding and planning the process of a new world. Xu Zhi muttered.

After all, for a world to start from nothing, even if it was just the beginning, it still had to go through many stages of polishing.
