Lord Shenxiu-Chapter 535: Attempt (Extra 2400 words)

"Power of the gods? Wasn’t it the sinister power of the Black Lotus Venerable from the Black Lotus Sect before?"

"But that’s also normal, the so-called ’Black Lotus Venerable’ is probably just a dog raised by the Five Lotus Primordial Monarch, a god of incomplete faith. It’s good enough to have a fifth rank..."

"And this shroud has come into contact with a true Old God!"

Sinister power could quickly fill the progress of the Doors of All Beginnings, but what about the power of the gods?

"Yes!"

Once Zhong Shenxiu’s intention was confirmed, he saw the progress of the Doors of All Beginnings in the Heavenly Show System surge rapidly, then it turned into:

[Doors of All Beginnings: Can be opened]

Yet, not until this moment did the aura on the shroud seem to have diminished even a little.

"Is this like a giant battery? Can it satisfy my multiple traversing needs?"

Zhong Shenxiu nodded in satisfaction, "Combined with the ritual incarnation technique I just studied, perhaps I can swiftly traverse through calamities and elevate my cultivation..."

This plan had already taken root in his heart; it was just that previously, the Doors of All Beginnings was still charging and had yet to be opened, so he had not put it into action.

Now, it seemed like the right time had come.

"However... before that..."

He glanced at the sealed study, and suddenly lifted the suitcase, letting the shroud unfold.

Its linen surface was matted with various impurities, felt greasy like motor oil, and gave off a deadly stench of decay.

An ordinary person who smelled this odor would likely be cursed; even an extraordinary one might lose control and die.

"No Divine Blood... That’s right, if it had been tainted with Divine Blood, it would have become a sacred object... Although it’s from the Old God Church... has it been extracted already?"

Zhong Shenxiu thought to himself.

At this time, he saw the shroud had begun to change.

After the seal was broken, it moved like a living thing, rising in small bulges and constantly shifting.

It appeared as if there were some kind of creature hidden beneath the shroud!

But Zhong Shenxiu knew that this cursed object was not wrapping around a cat or a swarm of rats; the current movements were likely its own, starting to awaken to the characteristics of being alive.

The air around suddenly grew cold and eerie.

Infinite illusory worlds emerged and overlapped with the study.

Zhong Shenxiu seemed to see many blurry and indistinct, yet fiercely outlined, towering figures.

His own rank was already enough to resist the corresponding influences.

However, at this point, he didn’t pay close attention but instead observed the changes in the shroud.

Beneath the shroud, countless small bumps fused together, forming a larger shape, like an ever-changing creature, constantly morphing and wriggling.

’Is this... showing the bodies it’s wrapped around in the past?’

Zhong Shenxiu thought, staring at those vague outlines.

Finally, he even saw them slowly solidify, fixing into a... human-like shape?

"So, the original Old God... was also human-shaped?"

"Or at least... the corpse was human-shaped?"

Zhong Shenxiu seemed to glimpse a vast secret, his eyes slightly shining.

Then, he saw that human-shaped outline appear to imprint upon the shroud, with all sorts of details swiftly being perfected, as if in the next moment, it would walk out of the shroud.

"Don’t die on me now... Otherwise, once it really materializes some shadowy outline of the Old God, I’m going to suffer a huge loss."

Zhong Shenxiu lightly chuckled and waved his hand, and nine streams of Immortal Qi Divine Light appeared, turning into chains of pure and clear light that bound the shroud from all directions.

Its living characteristics were quickly suppressed, and the half-etched human silhouette began to slowly blur...

Just as the shroud was rapidly folding, about to be resealed,

A voice that seemed like a murmur and a prayer suddenly rose from all directions.

It appeared to be a single voice, yet it seemed to be the amalgamation of the prayers of countless believers.

The murmurs, filled with chaos, madness, and various emotions, echoed back and forth in Zhong Shenxiu’s ears.

"Death is not the end of everything."

"In the bizarre expanse of antiquity, even death itself can be obliterated!"

Countless ancient chants converged, repeating these two phrases, causing Zhong Shenxiu’s expression to subtly change.

With a snap,

He closed his briefcase, also cutting off those overlapping voices.

"So for divine beings, death is not the end or conclusion, but merely a state?"

Zhong Shenxiu had long speculated on this.

How could such great existences possibly be bound by mere death?

Even if they had fallen, perhaps it was like they had merely slept, and in some period of history, they might bizarrely resurrect and return!

"After all, even I find it difficult to die completely, let alone a True God..."

"Are the True Gods of the West on the same level as the tail-eating snake, Da Mo, and the Moth Lord that I saw in the world of that winemaker Li Wei?"

"Hm, based on what I’ve seen and judged before, it should be so..."

"They... even transcend the general sense of a fleshly immortal..."

"So, does that mean... the Master of Black Blood and Da Mo, seemingly hunted by the tail-eating snake, might not have completely perished, and there’s still the possibility of resurrection and return?"

Zhong Shenxiu then thought of the last time he left that world, the energy the Door of Myriad Paths received.

This allowed him to directly open Little Taihuangtian, gaining a huge advantage.

And Little Taihuangtian might be a part of that original Taihuangtian!

The depth of this matter made Zhong Shenxiu feel somewhat shuddering.

"I always feel... my fate with those Evil Gods is not so easily severed..."

"This time, I directly used the power of the Evil God to open the Door of Myriad Paths, and I can basically imagine what the world behind the door looks like... No matter the civilization, era, or race... it’s definitely mad, bizarre, terrifying..."

"It’s also best not to go in person, even sending the second Primordial Spirit is a loss, better to send an avatar to face the tribulation..."

He reflected that the process of acquiring the shroud was a bit too smooth.

Even though, from previous experiments, it seemed that the higher the shroud’s spirit and position, the easier it was to sense the curse and be tainted, which is why the actual security wasn’t very strong and it was easily obtained, it was still too smooth.

This made Zhong Shenxiu feel there was something amiss.

However, using an expendable avatar to probe was complementary.

Even if it fell into a trap, it was just fate.

There was no pity in death, and if by luck it survived, it would be equivalent to passing a tribulation!

Among the Primordial Spirit Bosses of Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, how many have undergone tribulations on the level of True Gods or Evil Gods?

Such a tribulation was naturally of high quality, and after passing it, one’s spiritual progress would improve the most!

In deep contemplation, Zhong Shenxiu sensed something and suddenly relaxed the sealing a bit.

The second Primordial Spirit turned into a dark green streak of light, which he absorbed into his body and quickly disappeared.

"Hmm... the Western Court Empire originally had some conflicts with the three major kingdoms, letting go of one of their major spies is enough to take the blame for me."

Recalling the news about the second Primordial Spirit releasing the "Son of the Wind," Zhong Shenxiu couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
