Chapter 233: Strength Enhancement, Prolific Strong Individuals, Like Crossing the River
Qi Yuan gazed at the empty Contemplation Mountain, his thoughts complex.
He always felt that the Deity Observation Technique wasn't as simple as it seemed.
This mountain, too, was not as straightforward as it appeared.
In other worlds, he had never seen or heard of anything like the Contemplation Mountain.
"The Primordial World... what exactly is different about it?"
Qi Yuan murmured, and his figure emerged from the Contemplation Mountain.
At the same time, in the continuous mountain range, Dong Jiang He's gaze kept wandering, and he couldn't help but sigh, "After abandoning the Mythical Contemplation Technique and siding with Origin Venerable, I've given up too much."
Divine Cat Venerable gave Dong Jiang He a sidelong glance, "Stop obsessing over your broken Mythical Contemplation Technique! Don't you know that after the Supreme Lord arrived, Mythical Contemplation Techniques are no longer valuable?"
Over the past two days, the ancient gods who had later sided with Qi Yuan had already learned the reason for the strength of Divine Thunder Grand Venerable and the others.
It was all because of the Deity Observation Technique!
Origin Venerable had not only contemplated eight Mythical Contemplation Techniques but had even gone back in time... and contemplated a pile of Mythical Contemplation Techniques.
However, at this moment, Dong Jiang He had some doubts. Looking at the leading Divine Thunder Grand Venerable, he wondered, "Doesn't Divine Thunder Grand Venerable already have a Deity Observation Technique? Why did he still come?"
"Not only him, but all the ancient gods and villagers who possess Deity Observation Techniques have also arrived," Black Dragon Venerable said, his words carrying a deep meaning.
Hearing this, Dong Jiang He took a deep breath.
If this guess was true, it was terrifying.
This meant that Origin Venerable didn't lack Deity Observation Techniques; what he lacked was the evil deity's divine power.
Dong Jiang He's pride suddenly collapsed.
"So what if I give up the title of Youthful Heavenly Emperor to Origin Venerable?" Dong Jiang He was quite magnanimous.
Divine Cat Venerable glanced at him but said nothing.
Just then, suddenly, a calm voice sounded.
"I possess myriad techniques, capable of unraveling the mysteries of life, comprehending the ultimate truth of Yin and Yang, and observing the cycle of life and death."
"My grace shall be bestowed upon you!"
A man in a dark robe appeared, surrounded by Deity Observation Techniques like countless stars.
All the ancient gods and their people looked at these techniques, and their hearts inexplicably filled with a sense of worship.
The previously calm Divine Thunder Grand Venerable's expression changed.
Hiss!
"There are so many stronger than me?"
After obtaining the Deity Observation Technique of Nine Heavens Response and Transformation Thunder Voice Universal Venerable, Divine Thunder Grand Venerable had been feeling rather smug.
He thought that it was Origin Venerable's most powerful Deity Observation Technique! After all, the strength of that Thunder Ancestor had already surpassed his understanding, controlling all the thunder in the heavens and the earth.
Dominating the thirty-three layers of heaven above and the nine dark realms below.
But now, Origin Venerable was surrounded by Deity Observation Techniques, many of which were terrifying beyond measure. Even he felt a sense of profound mystery upon seeing them.
Especially the three Deity Observation Techniques at the top, which looked simple but seemed to be the source of everything.
Divine Thunder Grand Venerable felt an urge to pay his respects.
These Deity Observation Techniques were now to be bestowed upon them!
The ancient gods in attendance were solemn and excited.
"Thank you, Supreme Lord, for bestowing the techniques!"
"I vow to prioritize the Supreme Lord's will, and should I ever go against this wish, may I be condemned by heaven and earth!"
All the ancient gods were excited, and Dong Jiang He finally admitted that the Mythical Contemplation Technique he had contemplated was nothing but a fart.
Everyone was as devout as believers, looking up to Origin Venerable. White-haired and aged, the old man, Li Shan Grand Venerable, had moist eyes.
He seemed to see hope for the world.
Spirit Bell Grand Venerable remained silent, as if he understood something.
Just then, Qi Yuan's gentle voice echoed.
"In ancient times, War Deity Xingtian fought against the Emperor for the divine, and the Emperor severed his head.
Xingtian did not perish but used his nipples as eyes and his navel as a mouth, wielding a halberd and shield to dance!"
Spirit Bell Grand Venerable seemed to sense something.
His gaze fixed on a Deity Observation Technique.
He seemed to see a terrifying heavenly deity, wielding an axe and shield, engaged in a fierce battle with the Emperor.
This terrifying heavenly deity, even with his head taken by the Emperor, remained unyielding, dancing with his weapons and fighting the Emperor!
Spirit Bell Grand Venerable was moved.
He thought of the Mundane Heart World and the ancient gods who had fallen in battle.
The Sky Pillar had been shattered, the myths had perished, and the backbone of the Mundane Heart World had been broken.
Yet, the ancient gods of the Mundane Heart World still did not give up resisting the evil deity.
After the Sky Pillar was shattered, the great war had not yet begun, but small battles raged on, and nearly two-thirds of the ancient gods had fallen.
Even the ancient gods who chose the Mythical Contemplation Technique merely gave hope to the others. The ancient gods chose to use their bodies to pave the way.
War Deity Xingtian was like the unyielding spirit of the Mundane Heart World, wielding weapons and fighting against the heavens.
"If everyone in the Mundane Heart World is as unyielding as Xingtian, even in defeat, they will fight to the death!" sighed one of the ancient gods.
"Even such a great deity encounters difficulties, let alone us!"
"Supreme Lord..."
The ancient gods whispered among themselves, and those who had become the Supreme Lord's people looked at Qi Yuan with even greater reverence.
The Deity Observation Technique belonging to War Deity Xingtian landed in front of Spirit Bell Grand Venerable.
Spirit Bell Grand Venerable took a deep breath, "Thank you, Supreme Lord, for bestowing the technique. I vow to eliminate all evil!"
Qi Yuan's gaze fell upon Dusk Grand Venerable.
Dusk Grand Venerable seemed to sense something, and his expression changed.
"Gonggong Clan and Zhuanxu fought for the title of Emperor, and in anger, Gonggong struck Zhou Mountain, shattering the Sky Pillar and severing the Earthly Bonds!"
In the Deity Observation Technique, all the ancient gods seemed to see a majestic deity charging towards Zhou Mountain, which was many times taller than the Sky Pillar.
After obtaining the Deity Observation Technique of the ancient great deity Gong Gong from Qi Yuan, the Dusk Great Venerable gained the ability to resolve calamities.
The Dusk Great Venerable, upon acquiring the Deity Observation Technique, bowed deeply in gratitude.
The Origin Venerable continued his incantation.
"Li Tianwang, Tower Holder... Red Child... Star Lord... Ten Courts of Hell Judges..."
One by one, mythical figures from Qi Yuan's memories came to life.
Each mythical figure represented a story sealed away by time.
Every citizen gained a deity of their own, each more powerful than the last.
Among the citizens, each received a Deity Observation Technique of immense power.
Even Shizhong Mountain obtained the Erlang Manifestation Holy Lord, his eyes filled with depth.
The Thundergod Grand Venerable, upon receiving the Deity Observation Technique of the Emperor of Eternal Life in the South, one of the Eight Great Venerables, was astonished.
It seemed that the mighty deities were being reborn within each citizen.
Finally, there were three Deity Observation Techniques left by Qi Yuan's side.
These three techniques represented the Three Pure Ones, the most revered deities in Qi Yuan's memories.
At this moment, every citizen had obtained a Deity Observation Technique, each becoming as powerful as a dragon.
Regrettably, Qi Yuan bestowed the Three Pure Ones upon those he deemed worthy.
Yet, none could contemplate them.
...
In the end, Qi Yuan even had all the Ancient Gods attempt the Three Pure Ones.
Astonishingly, not a single person in the crowd could contemplate them.
Qi Yuan was surprised, and the Ancient Gods present were shaken.
"Venerable, the position of these three deities is too high, hence we are unable to contemplate them!" spoke a Great Venerable, his expression filled with awe.
A position too high to contemplate—such a thing was unimaginable.
Or perhaps, it was a situation that had never occurred before.
Now, only this explanation made sense.
Regarding the identity of the Origin Venerable, the Ancient Gods present were even more convinced of his absolute nobility.
This was beyond the imagination of the deities present.
The deities they contemplated were terrifyingly powerful.
Who were these three...?
At this moment, the Thundergod Grand Venerable spoke, "Why don't you, Venerable, attempt to contemplate one or two of them?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding deities all nodded in agreement.
Their positions were not sufficient, but the Origin Venerable's certainly was.
Qi Yuan, upon hearing this, found their words reasonable.
...
The sound of thunder rumbled, and heavy rain poured.
Flying Wasteland City fell into a profound silence.
After an unknown duration, Qi Yuan opened his eyes. His originally profound gaze now seemed ordinary, like that of a common mortal.
"The Three Pure Ones truly deserve their reputation. Have I reached the pinnacle of myth?" Qi Yuan pondered.
After contemplating the Three Pure Ones, his strength skyrocketed.
In his prime, he needed neither sword nor spell, a mere glance could slay.
Even the Gluttonyless Holy Mother at her peak was no match for him in his memories.
Furthermore, he felt capable of slaying the Blood Sun Great Saint's clones in the mortal realm.
His strength had increased not just tenfold, but a hundredfold.
He even considered himself the greatest myth he had ever encountered.
However, his cultivation remained at the Heaven Treading Seventh Step.
Upon completing the seventh step, one would become a Yang Deity.
Yet, this seventh step seemed boundless, with no path forward.
Just as others had reached the limits of myth, unable to progress further.
A contemplative expression flashed in his calm eyes.
At that moment, a refined, serene, and mysterious female voice sounded in Qi Yuan's ear.
"Foster father, the Evil Deity's messenger has arrived."
The speaker was Qi Qi, dressed in a brown long dress. Her demeanor had become more substantial and increasingly cold.
A stark contrast to her previous playful self.
Qi Qi's contemplated deity was Hou Tu, one of the Six Deities, an exceptionally noble figure.
"The Evil Deity's messenger?" Qi Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
He had never imagined that the Evil Deity would send a messenger to meet him.
Now, with the war upon them, he would meet this messenger.
About a hundred breaths passed.
Led by Qi Qi, the Evil Deity's commander, Wu Helmet Commander, approached Qi Yuan.
For some reason, upon seeing Qi Yuan, he felt an overwhelming urge to prostrate himself in reverence.
This feeling was even stronger than when facing a Yang Deity.
This left him astonished.
Why was there such a vast difference between them, both at the Heaven Treading Seventh Step?
Especially here, in the small Flying Wasteland City, his divine power couldn't help but tremble, as if a terrifying deity lay dormant within this modest city.
At this moment, Qi Yuan, seated in a high position, glanced at Wu Helmet Commander, his expression filled with emotion. "Last time, you got away, which was a real shame. But fortunately, fate has brought us together again."
The previous time Qi Yuan had swept through Qingheng Continent, he intended to eradicate the remaining Evil Deity forces.
However, before he could, they escaped, leaving Qi Yuan with a sense of regret.
Wu Helmet Commander's heart tightened for an unknown reason, but remembering his master's instructions, he said, "I have met the Origin Venerable. As per my master's orders, I have come to discuss terms with you, Venerable."
Upon hearing this, the Ancient Gods surrounding Qi Yuan were taken aback.
Qi Qi's eyes also showed a hint of surprise.
The Evil Deity... was seeking to negotiate.
This was something they had never dared to imagine.
When had the Evil Deity ever shown weakness and sought negotiation?
