Ch 239: A Massive Awakening of Heroic Spirit Memories! The World Shakes!
Chu Mo watched Nüwa disappear before him. After a moment’s thought, the aura on his body erupted, and he directly entered the Second Level Heroic Spirit World, followed by the Third Level, Fourth Level, Fifth Level, Sixth Level, Seventh Level…
Seventh Level Heroic Spirit World.
“…Interesting.”
Chu Mo gazed at the world before him, a desolate scene with weeds and towering trees.
“This is nothing like the Seventh Level Heroic Spirit World I imagined!”
Chu Mo soared into the sky, scanning his surroundings, his Divine Thought constantly spreading, yet he could hardly find a single trace of anyone.
However, after a brief moment of confusion, Chu Mo understood and his expression turned strange.
“That’s right, the First Level, Second Level, even the Third Level… there might be quite a few Heroic Spirits! But Seventh Level experts, looking at the Divine Province, can be considered top-tier, able to participate in Heavenly Court conferences, and most of them are in the real world… How many could possibly be in the Heroic Spirit World at this time?”
Dozens, maybe even hundreds? Well, it’s more likely that there aren’t even dozens!
However, each level the Heroic Spirit World rises… the internal area greatly increases. With the area increasing, the number of people qualified to enter decreases… Naturally, meeting becomes incredibly difficult…
“I’m even a little curious if there’s an Eighth Level Heroic Spirit World.” Chu Mo strangely stroked his chin. He felt that given the situation with Eighth Level experts, there might not be a single person entering the Heroic Spirit World for an entire year…
In this case, is there any point in establishing an Eighth Level Heroic Spirit World?
Above the firmament, Divine Radiance flickered.
Then, Chu Mo watched with his own eyes as his ranking on the Battle Power Chart instantly entered the top ten.
“Not bad.” Chu Mo wasn’t surprised. In terms of Heavenly Dao status, it was impossible for anyone of the same level to surpass him in combat power… It’s just that he wasn’t fighting right now, otherwise becoming the number one in combat power in the Seventh Level Heroic Spirit World would be a piece of cake.
Shaking his head, Chu Mo’s mind moved, and he chose to return to the real world. But at the same time, Nüwa had already informed the Lord of the Heavenly Court, far away in Kyoto, of the new technique, her evaluation of the technique, and the information she had collected about Chu Mo.
◈◈◈
Inside the Epang Palace.
The woman wearing a Black Dragon Robe pursed her lips tightly. A large amount of data was flowing before her eyes, the information that Nüwa had projected to her.
“Does… such a person really exist?!”
She seemed to be asking someone, yet also simply talking to herself.
“The Manchu Human Emperor, the Regent of the late Ming, the Sage Divine Lord of the early Ming, the Netherworld Emperor of the Song Dynasty… and…”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang didn’t continue speaking. Even now, having received Nüwa’s very definite judgment, she still felt a sense of confusion… Was that really a Heavenly Dao, and not the Jade Emperor?
Or rather… is it really possible for the Heavenly Dao to incarnate as a Heroic Spirit and descend?!
After thinking for a long, long time, she let out a long breath, and her gaze became serious. Perhaps so, since Sages can incarnate as Heroic Spirits, the Heavenly Dao… doesn’t seem entirely impossible! Wasn’t that first generation Sage Dao Ancestor both a Sage and Heaven?
“However, if it’s the Heavenly Dao… then it seems understandable!”
The Divine Lord narrowed her eyes slightly. She was one of the people in the world who understood Chu Mo the most. After all, all of Nüwa’s information would be compiled here. Moreover, when people who had contact with Chu Mo were questioned by the Heavenly Court, they also needed to frankly explain everything.
She had previously been puzzled by these Heroic Spirits awakened by Chu Mo that had never appeared in history, and what was the situation with those altered histories?
But now… she understood.
On the body of a Heavenly Dao! Any kind of change… is normal. Moreover…
“If we count the timelines, we’ll find that with each reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, their strength and potential are constantly decreasing. Also considering that each time the Heavenly Dao struggles to make the world better, but after the Heavenly Dao dies, it also constructs so-called false histories… So…”
“However, if everything is true… then the Heavenly Dao’s enemies…”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s gaze became distant, as if she had thought of something, “…Could it be you?”
Silence fell once again within the Epang Palace.
After a long time…
“…It’s also a good thing.” Ruffling her own hair, Emperor Qin Shi Huang took a deep breath. It was currently a troubled time, and the appearance of such a fresh force might be the key to overcoming some future crisis.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang wouldn’t try to estimate the Heavenly Dao, because anything could happen on the Heavenly Dao’s body, it was normal! Evaluating a Heavenly Dao with human concepts… was an extremely laughable thing.
“Nüwa… disseminate it… Also, I’m using the authority of the Lord of the Heavenly Court to directly provide subsidies! Everyone who purchases the Basic Immortal Cultivation Method will receive an additional subsidy of half! Directly notify the Immortal Lords who are qualified to attend the conference of this news…” The woman pinched her brow. Money, for her, was precisely the least valuable thing. If it were a normal, prosperous time, she would still need to be cautious in doing this…
After all, promoting such a transformative thing without discussing it in the Heavenly Court conference… might harm the interests of some, or even dozens of Immortal Lords, causing them to resist and not cooperate in secret.
That would be very troublesome!
The Divine Province was too big, and the Immortal Lords were too few… Each Immortal Lord, within their respective sphere of influence… was a true local tyrant! If they united to resist, even someone as powerful as the Divine Lord would have no way to deal with it.
You couldn’t just kill them all!
Zhu Yuanzhang had once tried to see if he could do that, but the final result was… it really wouldn’t work! No matter how strong you are alone, you can’t protect all the common people of the Divine Province… It’s not a matter of “if you don’t do it, someone else will”!
The strong are not chives.
Even if a Heroic Spirit dies, the Heroic Spirit will continue to be passed down… But when and where it’s passed down… that’s another matter!
But now… another Primordial Beast Tide was about to arrive.
At this critical time, no Immortal Lord would dare to provoke the majesty of the Lord of the Divine Province Heavenly Court during wartime… Or rather, those fools who had died at the hands of one Divine Lord after another in the past would make these guys learn enough of a lesson.
And so.
At the moment when Emperor Qin Shi Huang gave her word.
From the First to the Sixth Level Heroic Spirit Worlds, brilliant Divine Radiance flickered above the firmament.
Techniques! Rose slowly.
And… in these six worlds, they all climbed to the first place with overwhelming advantages!
The only known technique that allows people to steadily reach the Sixth Level with enough energy is this one.
From the First to the Sixth Level Heroic Spirit Worlds, they fell into dead silence.
Countless people, already shocked by the sudden appearance and direct entry into the top ranks of various charts of a powerhouse named Heaven, were even more stunned at this moment. Some even stopped breathing, subconsciously rubbing their eyes… After confirming that they really hadn’t seen wrong—
A complete uproar erupted.
First Level Heroic Spirit World.
“???” One person reached out and pinched their own flesh hard. After feeling the pain, they were still in a daze, “I… I, am I dreaming?!”
The person next to them bit their lower lip, “Damn it, the techniques and powerhouses that have sprung up during this period… are more outrageous than the last! You chase me, I chase you…”
After the topic was brought up, several people nearby also joined the conversation.
“What do you mean ‘you chase me, I chase you’? It’s clearly that first one appears and becomes number one, then another one appears and suppresses the previous one, then another appears… I’m starting to feel sorry for those emperors who were at the top of the charts before!”
“?? What’s combat power? Isn’t the most powerful thing that these invincible combatants can also develop a technique that can be popularized to everyone!”
“So, who exactly is this… Heaven! Heaven! Damn it… this name is really too domineering! I’ve never heard of anyone daring to take this name! And Nüwa actually really recognized it… This, is really related to Heaven!”
“?? Could it be some emperor? Don’t they all say that the emperor is the Son of Heaven?”
“Bullshit… Which emperor has ever used the name Heaven?”
Those who were fiercely discussing were all completely ignorant. But those who had once received grace were now staring blankly at the firmament, countless thoughts swirling in their minds…
Memories… countless fragmented memories were being reorganized!
Even…
Countless Heroic Spirits from the early Tang Dynasty were now leveling up, breaking through.
“…Is, is it the Jade Emperor?!” An ordinary farmer in the First Level Heroic Spirit World suddenly knelt on the ground, wailing, “I’m not a farmer anymore… I’m a cultivator! A true cultivator.”
The memories that surged out of nowhere were all memories of cultivation… And from originally being very fragmented and only living for twenty-odd years, they became… cultivating for over a hundred years, successfully stepping into the Third Level Realm.
What did this mean for his Heroic Spirit to be completely awakened?!
◈◈◈
This meant…
The farmer who was in the First Level Heroic Spirit World instantly became a peak First Level.
And he had a feeling that if he wanted to… he could enter the Second Level Heroic Spirit World, or even the Third Level Heroic Spirit World.
This… was unimaginable! Incomprehensible!
The most terrifying thing was that this situation with the farmer… wasn’t an isolated case. At this moment, there were millions of Heroic Spirits from the early Tang Dynasty in the Heroic Spirit World, and nearly 70% of them had all broken through to above the Second Level… That is, they had directly become Tenth Grade in the First Level Heroic Spirit World.
This kind of change made the people around them, who were already very shocked, even more dumbfounded.
“Bro-bro-bro… Brother… Wh-wh-what’s going on with you? Don’t tell me… Don’t tell me you’ve been hiding your true cultivation all along?” A Song Dynasty First Level Heroic Spirit trembled, looking at his Tang Dynasty friend who had broken through to First Level Tenth Grade.
“? Not so…” The Tang Dynasty one was naturally overjoyed to the point of almost going crazy as he explained. And then…
His Song Dynasty friend was scared silly. After a long time, when he came to his senses, he directly became twisted with envy and jealousy.
It wasn’t just the First Level. In fact, the Second Level, Third Level… one Heroic Spirit World after another, all were undergoing tremendous changes!
The biggest difference between this change and the previous ones was… the previous ones mostly directly added a few Heroic Spirit skills. Although cultivation also increased, it couldn’t be said to be a meteoric rise. But this time…
The lower the level of the Heroic Spirit, the more outrageous the transformation! There were tens of thousands who directly transformed from First Level Heroic Spirits into Fourth Level powerhouses…
There were too, too many.
It couldn’t be hidden!
The news spread like a tsunami, frantically in all directions.
◈◈◈
Kyoto World City.
Inside a certain courtyard.
“…Ah?!” Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded. He subconsciously cleaned out his ears, “Son, please say it again…”
Zhu Biao’s eyes twitched. He took two deep breaths and began to narrate with a blank expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watering the flowers, stopped speaking. As he listened, he put the sprinkler on the ground and paced back and forth several times, asking with difficulty, “Where is your grandfather now?”
“It’s already been confirmed that it’s…” Zhu Biao opened his mouth. Didn’t you not know anything before? And he didn’t say it was Old Master…
“Besides Old Master, I’ve never seen anyone who awakened a Heroic Spirit and caused such a big commotion!” Zhu Yuanzhang sneered. As he walked, he cursed, “What the hell… Old Man is so awesome, why, do it like this in the early Tang… Can’t you let us early Ming also eat a wave of benefits?”
Zhu Biao followed closely behind, wiping cold sweat from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping, his expression wonderful. Was Old Man getting too into it? To put it bluntly, they were only inheriting the Heroic Spirits from history, they weren’t really that person in history… Was it wrong to say this to Grandfather?
On the other side.
Inside a certain teahouse.
Yang Jian’s hand trembled, spilling tea all over the table. After a brief silence, he looked at the information his friend had sent him, pinched himself hard, felt the pain, and grimaced, “…No! This, this is also…”
This wasn’t a dream!
Also… the Jade Emperor?!
This teahouse was very high-end. Basically all of those drinking tea inside were Heroic Spirit Awakeners. At this moment, they had also received the news, and many people were excited, discussing it animatedly.
Even… under the gazes of everyone, one person from the early Tang Dynasty personally staged a Heroic Spirit upgrade—
The Heroic Spirit’s color changed from green to azure!
Although the colors green and azure have some similarities, no one would confuse them!
“Heroic Spirit upgrade…” An old man covered his heart, his body constantly trembling, “Heroic Spirit Studies… no longer exists!”
Although the phenomenon of Heroic Spirit upgrades had appeared before, those were all on a small scale… and those who upgraded would hide it out of various considerations! But… now there were too, too many.
Or rather, in the Heroic Spirit World, millions were breaking through from the First Level to the Second Level, Third Level, or even higher, all of them were upgrading their Heroic Spirit quality. What’s the point of you breaking through from green to azure? That’s just one level up!
There were even those who upgraded from red to green, or even higher… With a base of millions, no one would hide it…
And this kind of news essentially overturned the foundation of the prominent school created over the past hundreds of years, Heroic Spirit Studies!
If even the fundamental theorem that Heroic Spirit quality won’t upgrade was false… then how much of Heroic Spirit Studies is true?
Yang Jian pondered, and finally pursed his lips. He also learned from the person next door who had completed their Heroic Spirit upgrade and began to purchase the Basic Immortal Cultivation Method that was suitable for his level.
And then…
“…What?!” Yang Jian’s gaze flickered for a moment. At this moment, he felt shock, confusion, and even fear.
Because, he was horrified to discover… Damn it, memories actually emerged in his mind as well!
No, was there something wrong… He wasn’t a Heroic Spirit from the early Tang Dynasty! He was a Song Dynasty Heroic Spirit, where did the memories from the Tang Dynasty come from?!
He didn’t have a mental breakdown or develop a delusional disorder, did he?!
And then…
The expression on his face changed from fear to complexity, then to bitterness, and then to shock.
“…Tang Sanzang… Also, Heaven…”
Yang Jian felt the power surging within his body. His cultivation had actually risen three small ranks out of nowhere… The most terrifying thing was…
“…I only had two awakened Heroic Spirits, now, another awakened one has appeared?”
【Yang Family Erlang → Guankou Water God → Erlang Manifesting Truth Lord → Judicial Deity】
Moreover…
“…As long as I complete the final awakening, my strength can… can…”
Can theoretically break through to the Golden Immortal First Grade that I reached in my memories, which is—
Seventh Level First Grade!
Achieving Immortal Lord!
This was a qualitative change.
Taking this step meant becoming a true power in the Divine Province! Standing above hundreds of millions of people.
Of course…
This was certainly a great benefit.
But compared to the information revealed in the memories…
“…Tang Sanzang is…”
The Jade Emperor?
No… More accurately—
The Heavenly Dao?!
Damn! Yang Jian stared at the tea in front of him, wondering if it was wine disguised as tea… He wasn’t even in a state of drinking wine, this was a state of drinking fake wine… Although with his cultivation, even if he really drank fake wine, he wouldn’t really get drunk!
But, in what state did Tang Sanzang have to be in… to become the Heavenly Dao! If it weren’t because these were memories that had awakened in his mind, he would definitely think this was a wild history… no, even wild histories wouldn’t dare to make this up!
“If I’m not crazy, then this world must be crazy.”
Trembling for a good while, Yang Jian finally slammed the cup on the ground… Paid the bill with a dark face, and prepared to go back to find the Third Holy Mother, who was still in Kyoto at this moment, to chat.
