The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: Long Eared God Praying Scripture

Shen Mo sensed a trace of extraordinary power with a completely different nature from Mana and True Yuan at his left earlobe.

This was a trace of Divine Power bestowed by the fake god after he sacrificed the primal Essence and Qi of himself to the Long Eared God, appearing suddenly as if out of thin air... He could use this trace of Divine Power, but intrinsically it still belonged to the Long Eared God and was not his own.

Following Elder Wang Tie’s advice, Shen Mo slowly circulated this trace of Divine Power throughout his body, gathering it at the brow and Mind Sea.

Soon, within his desolate Mind Sea, a towering, sacred, and illusory phantom of a deity gradually manifested, clearly the image of the Long Eared God; this godly image seemed to exist in a different dimension than the pure soil of Green Cloud Peak, the Scorching Sun Soul Phase, and the phantom of Death Jaw already present, mutually non-interfering!

As the phantom manifested in the Mind Sea, Shen Mo’s heart continuously surged with various wonderful realizations, as if the Long Eared God was whispering in his mind, thereafter a text titled ”Long Eared God Praying Scripture” appeared in his brain.

The sacrificial ceremony concluded, Shen Mo thanked Village Chief Wang Tie, who looked utterly exhausted, then returned to his wooden hut.

He studied the ”Long Eared God Praying Scripture” thoroughly and found nothing amiss, then tried praising the Long Eared God’s name and began practicing the scripture, not long after, this method appeared under the Sacrificial Magic category on the Destiny Panel.

This was Shen Mo’s first God Path cultivation method, measured against the cultivation world’s standard, it was only a low-grade profound level method...

Immortal Path methods utilize various means to absorb intangible external forces such as nature’s spiritual energy, breath of Primal Spirit, malice energy, and even emotions or thoughts, converting them into one’s power, enabling cultivators to continuously elevate their primal Essence and Qi source, ultimately transforming and elevating their life level.

However, this ”Long Eared God Praying Scripture” sacrifices one’s primal Essence and Qi source to the Long Eared God, directly exchanging for Divine Power from the Long Eared God, not only failing to transform life levels, but also consuming physical vitality, soul source, and even Lifespan!

Although the scripture includes several ancillary methods, assisting in awakening physical and spiritual potential by using existing Divine Power through breathing, meditation, listening, and exercise, one can gain more Divine Power from the Long Eared God.

Yet, most of the enhanced primal Essence and Qi source still flows to the Long Eared God, benefiting the cultivator insignificantly.

Just like the elite disciple Village Chief Wang Tie, who in his youth could pierce a fierce tiger with a single shot, now at merely sixty years old, his vitality and soul are severely drained, appearing old beyond his years, despite dozens of years of accumulated Divine Power within him, once he dies, all Divine Power will be immediately reclaimed by the Long Eared God.

According to Shen Mo’s knowledge, other cultivation methods within the cultivation world similarly resemble this path... for these fake gods, all disciples are merely ”human-shaped elixirs”, the more devout the cultivation, the stronger the elixir’s power provided!

After pondering for a while, Shen Mo pulled out an iron-wrapped bundle from under the bed.

The bundle contained not only armors and weapons but also dozens of high-grade Spirit Stones, although in this world where the Immortal Path is not evident, the Spirit Stones originally rich in immortal charm appeared gray and were indistinguishable from ordinary roadside stones, showing no spirit at all.

With Spirit Stone in hand, Shen Mo closed his eyes.

With a slight shift in mind, he equipped the ”Performance Martial Arts” Destiny on the Destiny Disc’s groove!

[Would you like to consume one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones to apply the effects of martial performance deducing method?]

”No!”

Shen Mo refused without hesitation, the deeper he delved into the ”Long Eared God Praying Scripture”, the more primal Essence and Qi source would be quickly sacrificed, although it could gain a vast amount of Divine Power in a short time, he did not want to be drained by the Long Eared God.

[Would you like to consume thirteen thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones to deduce ”Long Eared God Praying Scripture” to the next stage?]

Without delay, Shen Mo answered affirmatively with his mind.

In the next moment, a golden light resembling an eye emerged from his brow, beginning to absorb the Spiritual Qi contained within the high-grade Spirit Stone, in the blink of an eye, one high-grade Spirit Stone was depleted of Spiritual Qi, reduced to a pile of gray impurities, while another high-grade Spirit Stone split into two.

Meanwhile, within the Profound Space, the Martial Performance Body also began deducing the ”Long Eared God Praying Scripture”.

Various profound and complex realizations surged in Shen Mo’s heart, and after the Martial Performance completed deducing, the scripture showed numerous differences compared to its original version!

Shen Mo attempted to cultivate the method once deduced, and indeed, with the premise of gaining equivalent Divine Power, the consumption of primal Essence and Qi source was significantly reduced, but the majority still flowed to the Long Eared God, remaining insufficient for him.

”Completely changing this situation is necessary, deducing just once or twice is far from adequate!”

Thus, he continued to consume high-grade Spirit Stones, repeatedly using Martial Performance to deduce the ”Long Eared God Praying Scripture”.

After deducing five times, the ”Long Eared God Praying Scripture” had become unrecognizable, like a completely newly compiled method, several levels more profound than the original!

Beside Shen Mo, there now lay a heap of Spirit Stone impurities.

Among the high-grade Spirit Stones brought into the cultivation world, over forty had been consumed, if all were used up, only by heading to Guan Ling’s ”simple grass hut”, could he open the Sword Zone to bring out more Spirit Stones, though prior to this, he needed to conventionally slay a fake god to summon the power from Guan Ling’s Death Jaw, which was slightly troublesome!

Shen Mo paused the Martial Performance and tried practicing the method deduced five times, finding its effect vastly different from the original.

A whole new Praying Scripture...

Using the power of the Long Eared God as a catalyst, in the Mind Sea he used his own image to construct a ”Self God”, this ”Self God” completely covered the godly image of the Long Eared God;

Most of the sacrificed primal Essence and Qi source flowed to this ”Self God”, then directly converted into the power of God Path for him to wield, with only a small portion of primal Essence and Qi flowing to the Long Eared God to maintain the mysterious connection between ”Self God” and it!

”This conversion efficiency is enough. But my approach in this manner essentially steals the Divine Power that belongs to the Long Eared God.”

”Once it ’notices’ this loophole, although it cannot forcibly seize the Divine Power of ’Self God’, it can forcibly sever the mysterious connection with ’Self God’, stripping away my disciple status. Additionally, the Long Eared God might be killed by the Ear Wisdom God and its disciples or contracted cultivators... no matter the situation, the Divine Power I possess from ’Self’ will vanish like a dream!”

”Need to completely solve this fatal hazard from the root.”
