I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The mother of the God-Defiling Insects had, in just a few short days, reproduced a massive number of her kind, constructing insect nests and eroding the power of faith of the five ancient temples.

Each insect nest now contained hundreds of millions of God-Defiling Insects working tirelessly, creating scenes that could drive one to madness.

This wasn't just a figure of speech; it was the reality. The God-Defiling Insects could defile even faith itself. If ordinary people or cultivators with relatively low cultivation levels encountered them without a specific task at hand, they would indeed twist their perceptions, alter their memories, strip them of their courage, and corrupt their goodness.

The Great Defilement Art was considered a demonic technique within the Eternal Life Method.

Luo Mo had used the God-Devouring Insect as a template, refined it with the Great Defilement Art, and supplemented it with the Three Thousand Great Daos, such as the Great Origin Art and the Great Bloodthirst Art, to create the God-Defiling Insects.

However, if he had used divine thoughts or even weaker resentful spirits to refine them, the result would likely have been something similar to a Heavenly Demon.

Heavenly Demons were formless and invisible, lacking a physical body. They were merely a wisp of evil thought that could manifest a physical form, but it was only an illusion. To possess a true, tangible body, one had to reach at least the Demon King level.

Luo Mo remotely observed these not-so-adorable little darlings working diligently for him, defiling the accumulated faith of the five ancient temples, taking it as a form of relaxation.

During this time, Li Rui and Yao Xi were constantly busy.

This was because Luo Mo had said, 'I found the dojo established by the Sun Saint Emperor on the Sun Star, and I also built a Moon Palace on the Moon Star. The imperial dynasty can relocate to the Sun Star, and the Moon Star can serve as the dojo for disciples cultivating the Lunar Scripture. All previously prepared sect locations are now obsolete.'

Obsolete?

Li Rui expressed that those locations were carefully selected after a long period of consideration. You, the Emperor, just casually overturn them? We…

We are actually quite happy about it!

The dojo established by the Sun Saint Emperor? That is definitely a good blessed land. The sect locations they had chosen certainly couldn't compare.

Prepare to relocate!

Although there was still some time before the eruption of the great tomb beneath the Jadeite Expanse, everyone agreed that it was better to relocate early because their Emperor said that the Sun Star and the Moon Star were more suitable for cultivation.

This was a great thing. Now, most of the Jadeite Expanse disciples cultivated the Lunar and Solar Scriptures. Even if they hadn't received the complete versions, they were still cultivating scriptures derived from the two Emperor Scriptures. If they could become core disciples in the future, they could receive the complete versions and cultivate directly, saving the trouble of switching.

Only a few people were still cultivating scriptures created by Sages. Some of them were considered unsuitable for teaching Emperor Scriptures, such as those who joined midway and needed to be tested, while others were naturally suited for the Sage's inheritance.

Li Rui had been busy with this matter these days, traveling back and forth between the Sun Star, the Moon Star, and the Eastern Wilderness, preparing for the relocation.

After all the hard work, Luo Mo hadn't had time to fulfill his promise of helping him increase his strength, so it had to be postponed.

Yao Xi cultivated the Lunar Scripture. She had also had a fortuitous encounter, obtaining a Moon Palace in an ancient cave of a divine mountain in Jadeite Expanse, which she suppressed in her sea of consciousness. It was the inheritance of a predecessor of Jadeite Expanse.

Now that there was a larger Moon Palace, her own couldn't even survive on the Moon Star.

After all, her item wasn't a complete Saint Weapon, but just an inheritance left by an ancient Saint of Jadeite Expanse, and ordinary Saints couldn't survive on the Sun Star and the Moon Star.

She and Li Rui inspected the palaces on the Sun Star and the Moon Star, and were shocked by the grand scale of both.

The palace on the Sun Star was established by the Sun Saint Emperor and arranged with Saint Emperor Dao patterns, while the Moon Palace on the Moon Star was actually a Great Saint magic treasure. Both were invaluable!

Especially the Moon Palace, it was a complete Great Saint weapon. Although its main function was to allow ordinary cultivators to live and cultivate in the harsh environment of the Moon Star, it was essentially still a Great Saint weapon that could be used to cross the star field or suppress enemies.

This magic treasure was simply too amazing!

In particular, it contained more than a dozen small worlds opened up by Saints. The world stones of the small worlds were integrated with the Moon Palace, giving the interior of the Moon Palace an extremely vast space, enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of living beings.

However, unlike the Saint Emperor's Palace on the Sun Star, the Moon Palace on the Moon Star was not decorated, and the more than a dozen small worlds inside were empty.

In the future, the capital of the Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty would definitely be the Sun Saint City, so Luo Mo had used most of the prepared divine soil to decorate that place, while the Moon Palace on the Moon Star was still a shell.

This would need to be decorated by them slowly. Luo Mo had passed everything on to them, enjoying his leisure.

Every day, he would just check on the progress of his God-Defiling Insect swarm.

Then, he would surf the internet in the Da Luo Realm and shop like crazy.

"Secret Art of Heaven's Flaw and Earth's Defect, created by two Dao-Slaying Kings 30,000 years ago. The combination of the two arts has astonishing power. The starting price is 80,000 Nascent Soul Pills, with a minimum increase of 1,000 Nascent Soul Pills each time."

The Da Luo Realm auction house held small auctions every day and a large auction once a month.

Even the grand event of the Jadeite Expanse holding the Divine Dynasty Ceremony didn't affect the holding of the auction, everything remained as usual.

After all, the auction house wouldn't offer discounts. For discounts, please turn right ahead to the newly rebranded Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty specialty store.

"180,000."

Luo Mo suddenly appeared in the Da Luo Realm, and he was wearing the Jiang Li persona. When the people in the auction house looked over, they immediately saw the golden 'Jiang Li' character, which was a unique title within the Da Luo Realm.

Someone had tried it before. When giving themselves a code name in the Da Luo Realm, some words couldn't be used, such as Jiang Li, which was exclusive to the Jadeite Expanse Holy Master.

Luo Mo quoted a price, directly more than doubling the starting price.

The other bidders all looked constipated.

Ah, no, is it okay for you to bid in your own auction house?

Aren't you even hiding your face?

No one dared to offend this contemporary Saint, the new Emperor of the Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty, especially since this person was also the owner of the Da Luo Realm.

They had reason to believe that the anonymity mechanism of the Da Luo Realm was completely ineffective for Jiang Li, the creator.

The auctioneer was very calm, "Emperor Jiang Li bid 180,000 Nascent Soul Pills, is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"

The result, of course, was that no one dared to raise the price. Thus, these two secret arts fell into Luo Mo's pocket.

The auctioneer took out another item, a gray stone with faint red spots like plum blossom petals on it.

"The next item is a stone stained with the blood of an ancient Saint. The starting price is 20,000 Nascent Soul Pills, with a minimum increase of 1,000 Nascent Soul Pills each time."

Everyone looked at Jiang Li. Seeing that he didn't seem interested in this item, someone finally spoke, "25,000."

"Okay, this fellow Daoist bid 25,000 Nascent Soul Pills."

"26,000."

"30,000!"

The atmosphere in the auction house heated up again.

After all, it was a stone stained with the blood of a Saint. Although the era was too distant and the blood no longer had the value of refinement, it was still a good material, especially useful in Source Arts.

With the development and expansion of the Source Heaven Sect, many cultivators had gained some understanding of Source Arts due to the increase and activity of Source Masters, especially in the area of materials, avoiding the occurrence of missing out on treasures because they didn't recognize them.

A good material could be used to hire a Source Art Master to take action, and the value was still good, so the competition was slightly fierce.

Soon, this Saint Blood Stone was auctioned off for a price of 90,000 Nascent Soul Pills.

In the following succession, several good treasures appeared, but Jiang Li didn't react until another secret art appeared, and he took action to auction it off.

The other people in the auction house were a little confused, wondering why this new Emperor would come to auction off some not-so-well-known secret arts. They should know that he was already a Saint, so how could he still look up to some techniques created by Dao-Slaying Kings?

Even if some of them were secret arts created by ancient Royal Physiques, they were far inferior to the treasures of this Emperor Jiang Li, right?

But this was just the beginning.

In the following days, Luo Mo began to sweep the Da Luo Realm, whether it was the auction house or the user's own stalls, he would go over and take a look at any secret art he saw. As long as he didn't have it, he would buy it.

Someone estimated that in a few days, this Emperor had purchased hundreds of secret arts, spending tens of millions of Nascent Soul Pills.

Many of the secret techniques were actually worthless. Some people only came after hearing about Jiang Li's generosity, bringing secret techniques they had obtained in the past that had even failed to sell at auctions, only to have Jiang Li buy them directly.

He didn't seem to care about the function or strength of the secret techniques, only buying rare ones.

What kind of strange habit was this?

The crowd didn't understand and only treated it as gossip. They could only watch what a Saint did.

Luo Mo bought these things, of course, just to make food. During his free time, he converted these strange and unusual secret techniques into divine abilities within the Eternal Life Method.

Although they were a bit weak, being minor divine abilities, with no great divine abilities or supreme divine abilities, the quantity was decent.

After spending a little time cultivating them, he immediately peeled them off, stored them away, and would feed them to the Lesser Destiny Technique in the future.

The Lesser Destiny Technique, a branch of the number one Great Destiny Technique among the Three Thousand Great Daos, needed other divine abilities to grow, not vitality. It was very unique, just like how Luo Mo would consume his own lifespan if he could use it at this stage. The Lesser Destiny Technique was different in every way.

Luo Mo was the only one in the world he was currently in who cultivated the Eternal Life Method, and although the Lesser Destiny Technique could devour divine abilities to grow, it excluded the Three Thousand Great Daos.

He was the only Eternal Life Method cultivator in the whole world. If he wanted to feed the Lesser Destiny Technique in the future, he would have to make the food himself.

Therefore, he translated so many Buddhist secret methods when he was in the Western Desert, turning them into Eternal Life Method divine abilities, cultivating them, and storing them away.

Thousands of divine ability talismans were imprisoned in Luo Mo's sea of consciousness. At the core was the Primordial Purple Qi Seed, and attached to the Primordial Purple Qi Seed were over a hundred talismans condensed from the Three Thousand Great Daos. Further out were minor divine ability talismans, great divine ability talismans, the Nine Secrets, and the Six Syllable Mantra, as well as supreme divine ability talismans transformed from the secret techniques of ancient emperors.

Together, they formed a huge talisman, constrained by the Great Talisman Technique.

"Thousands of divine abilities, although most are the lowest-level minor divine abilities, are enough as food for the Lesser Destiny Technique. In the future, I can continue to feed it by collecting more secret techniques and converting them into divine abilities."

Although he had not yet cultivated the Lesser Destiny Technique, Luo Mo was already planning to cultivate this super divine ability, a branch of the Great Destiny Technique.

The power of the Lesser Destiny Technique surpassed all other Three Thousand Great Daos. Although it had the disadvantage of consuming lifespan, its power was undeniable.

A few more days passed, and Mount Sumeru remained silent.

Luo Mo, who was in the Eastern Wilderness, created an incarnation and sent it to use the Domain Gate, directly teleporting to the Great Radiance Salvation Ship.

Afterward, the incarnation and the Source Art incarnation met and began collecting the Heresy God Worms.

The Heresy God Worms had been working until now, but they still hadn't completely blasphemed the faith power of the five ancient temples. It could even be said that they were far from it. The part they had blasphemed was only a drop in the bucket.

After all, Buddhism had been cultivating in the Western Desert for 300,000 years. It would take a very long time to blaspheme all the faith power in this sneaky way.

But Luo Mo only needed enough to fill the gap in his faith power, and that was enough.

The incarnation quickly brought back the faith power distorted by the Heresy God Worms. The objects of faith in these faith powers had all been distorted into Buddha-Venerables, rather than Amitabha.

After Luo Mo took the faith power from the incarnation, he carefully checked it with the True Spirit Seal.

Hmm, no problem.

It seemed that Amitabha's faith body didn't care about his little tricks.

Perhaps in the eyes of Amitabha's faith body, the vast faith power accumulated in Mount Sumeru was its foundation, and the rest were just odds and ends. Luo Mo's movements of some of the odds and ends were not enough to alarm it. It was similar to the Supreme Beings in the forbidden areas, waiting for the Immortal Ascension Road. Insignificant existences like ants were not enough to awaken it.

Luo Mo was completely relieved after checking with the True Spirit Seal.

If Amitabha's faith body could even deceive the True Spirit Seal, then he would admit defeat. After all, this kind of thing was completely impossible and not in his plan.

"Next, I will turn these faith powers into the Three Thousand Great Daos."

Gather three hundred, cast the Gate of the Immortal World, and set foot in the Realm of Eternal Life!

Luo Mo began his final seclusion, drawing on the blasphemed faith power to cultivate the Three Thousand Great Daos. One by one, talismans of the Three Thousand Great Daos were condensed.

The three hundred gates of the Three Thousand Great Daos were being condensed. Luo Mo's Thousand-Handed Saint Buddha Dharma Idol had quietly transformed back into the Dao Venerable Dharma Idol. He used himself to govern all Daos, becoming the Dao Venerable.

The Dao Venerable Dharma Idol was sitting in Luo Mo's sea of consciousness, with two hundred and ninety-nine talismans above its head. Each one was condensed from the Three Thousand Great Daos. The talismans melted into vitality, casting a huge gate that seemed to be embedded in the void, remotely located above the high heavens.

But at this moment, the gate was tightly closed and could not be opened because behind it was the void, and the gate itself was very illusory and could not be fully manifested.

Luo Mo was adjusting himself, constantly changing the constituent divine abilities of the Dao Venerable Dharma Idol, striving for perfection.

And at this moment, he was still waiting for a crucial moment.

The Gate of the Immortal World he was about to condense was still illusory, a bubble. Only the most core Lesser Destiny Technique could dominate everything, allowing this Gate of the Immortal World to completely condense successfully.

And before that, he still needed a real Immortal World, even if it was this world's Immortal World.

Transformation Immortal Pond, connect!

The gate runes above the Dao Venerable Dharma Idol's head flowed, echoing the formation patterns of the Ancient Emperor Gou Chen on the Immortal Ascension Road at the bottom of the Transformation Immortal Pond, as well as Luo Mo's own arrangement, using them as a relay station.

"Imprint my Gate of the Immortal World onto this Immortal World!"

Success or failure depends on this one move!

Rumble—

The tentacles of his spirit were approaching a great world under the arrangement of the Gate of the Immortal World's illusion and the formation patterns of the Ancient Emperor Gou Chen, with a barrier lying in front.

His spiritual tentacles seemed to have encountered a heavenly tribulation. Countless immortal lights surged over, blocking his path. There were rules hindering him.

However, Luo Mo's perspective at this moment had transcended this world itself. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse of his spiritual tentacles, it was enough for him to shake the True Spirit Seal and cast his gaze over, glimpsing the true face of an Immortal Domain barrier.

Endless brilliant Immortal Dao rules were instantly detected by the True Spirit Seal and fed back to Luo Mo. A point of eternal light flashed in his spirit.

The two hundred and ninety-nine kinds of Three Thousand Great Daos that constituted the Gate of the Immortal World were rapidly solidifying, and a magnificent, gorgeous, sacred, eternal… a gate that was difficult to describe with language became a reality.

The three hundredth of the Three Thousand Great Daos, a branch of the Great Destiny Technique, the Lesser Destiny Technique.

The Gate of the Immortal World became even more distant, flying towards the Nine Heavens, transcending this world, and flying towards the Immortal Domain barrier along Luo Mo's spiritual tentacles.

Divine Power Tenth Level, Reversing Fate!

From now on, my fate is in my own hands!

"The wheels of fate are rolling forward. Today, I achieve eternal life, a fate written by myself, unstoppable. My will reaches the Immortal Domain!"

Luo Mo's lifespan instantly burned for nine thousand years. His spiritual tentacle instantly extended out, advancing among various immortal lights and rules. The power of destiny was unstoppable, and all rules had to submit.

Even though this spiritual tentacle was weak, it allowed Luo Mo to see through this Immortal Domain barrier in an instant because of the True Spirit Seal's insight, and then urged the Lesser Destiny Technique with his lifespan.

It was like the gears of fate turning. Even if there was greater resistance ahead, everything would move in the direction he drew.

In Luo Mo's sea of consciousness, the Dao Venerable Dharma Idol roared to the sky and punched out. His spiritual will and cultivation path were integrated and transmitted, allowing this spiritual tentacle, burning with the power of destiny, to advance in the cracks of the world.

"Today, I attain eternal life!"

Ding.

A peculiar immortal sound rang out. On the barrier of the Immortal World, there was an additional gate-shaped brand. Although the spiritual tentacle, which had lost the protection of the power of destiny, was subsequently annihilated by the immortal light, it was enough.

He succeeded.

The Gate of the Immortal World was completely opened, and rolling immortal energy and fragments of laws were pouring down from the Gate of the Immortal World.

Just like a person breathing, Luo Mo was breathing the aura of the Immortal World at this moment.

The nine thousand years of lifespan he had just consumed began to replenish frantically: one thousand years, two thousand years, five thousand years, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years.

Soon, Luo Mo's lifespan reached the limit of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years.

In the next second, his lifespan directly stacked up.

Ten thousand years!

The first level of the Realm of Eternal Life, the Realm of Myriad Lifespans, ten thousand years of life!

The shackles of the Divine Power Realm were completely broken, and Luo Mo's lifespan reached ten thousand years, but it had not stopped and was still growing.

Eleven thousand years, twelve thousand years, fifteen thousand years…

Twenty thousand years, thirty thousand years, forty thousand years…
