Chapter 764: Interconnecting Mind Power and Emperor Qi, I Am Such a Genius
Chu Kuangren was just about to exit his room.
Rather than a room, it was a cave.
Although humans had already invented houses and constructions at this point in time, the Divine Mind Tribe had not yet fully adopted it. Some people still lived in caves, such as Cang who, had been oppressed in the Divine Mind Tribe for a long time.
Logically speaking, as the former young master of the tribe, Cang should still be able to afford to live in a house, no matter how hard he fell from grace.
In fact, his parents, who were the heads of the tribe, were now dressed in silk and satin clothing and living in an extravagant house with lavishly carved beams and picturesque paintings. In this era, that house could be regarded as a palace, which was one of the most luxurious buildings around.
In contrast, his son was bullied by others in the tribe so badly that even his soul was broken.
That was because Cang had offended a god.
However, his parents were the most faithful believers of the gods. Hence, they bear the view that whoever offended the gods should not be forgiven.
Even their very own son was no exception.
"You really did draw the shorter end of the straw for having such fanatic parents."
Chu Kuangren murmured. Then, he swept Emperor Thought across the area and found a few long-eared rabbits in the nearby forest.
He initially wanted to use the Spatial Conveyor Skill to transport himself to that spot directly. However, he realized after taking a step that he could not use this divine ability temporarily.
With a flicker of his mind, the few long-eared rabbits were caught and brought to his side with his mind power. These rabbits were beasts with Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivation bases, but they were no different from ordinary rabbits in the face of Chu Kuangren's mind power.
He snapped his fingers.
A ball of flames rose.
Before long, the few rabbits were cooked.
Chu Kuangren went up and feasted on them.
There were no seasonings available, so it tasted mediocre. However, with his current condition, he could not ask for more.
After consuming the rabbits, he drank a few sips of spring water.
Now that his appetite and thirst had been satisfied, Chu Kuangren could feel his body warming up again, and the ubiquitous chill in his body was now slightly reduced.
"It seems like before I begin studying the Timespace Treasure, I must first remove the Frost Seal Mark in this body," Chu Kuangren said with a frown.
A few years ago, the Divine Mind Tribe suffered a natural disaster and did not meet their timely requirement of offerings to the gods. As such, the gods condemned a punishment upon them, but Cang refused to accept it. He talked back to the gods, and this Frost Seal Mark was planted in him by the Venerable God of Ice, who did it from the Godly Mountain far away.
Since then, he had been suffering from the erosion of this immense cold all year round. Under the erosion of this cold, his mind power failed to expand.
Nevertheless, this Frost Seal Mark was not a difficult issue for Chu Kuangren. With the help of his incredible mind power, he was able to remove it in just a matter of moments.
Godly Mountain, where the Venerable Gods reside.
The cold-looking Venerable God of Ice suddenly opened his eyes and frowned, "Oh my, Frost Seal Mark has been lifted? Did some human Emperor do that?"
"Puny human, I wanted you to live a few more years under the bitterness of that cold erosion," he scoffed.
Then, he sent a subordinate god to the Divine Mind Tribe.
Rashly removing the Frost Seal Mark was equivalent to challenging him. On this land, no one could threaten the gods' authority.
Chu Kuangren had no idea about what was going down in the Godly Mountain.
After removing the Frost Seal Mark in the body, he found some medicinal materials in the mountains and refined some Fasting Pills.
These Fasting Pills were not high grade. In the cultivation world, even cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm would hardly bat an eye at them.
However, these pills could save Chu Kuangren the need to eat or drink for ten years.
With that, he started to study the Timespace Treasure in the cave.
One month had passed.
He finally worked out some ideologies.
The Timespace Treasure was made up of nine rings nested together, with countless Daoist patterns encased in the space between each ring and the next.
Chu Kuangren had only studied the two outermost rings, thus mastering the ability of Spatial Transfer and Time Lock.
If he wished to reenter the river of time, he had to gain full insights into the third ring of the Timespace Treasure.
Moreover, to open the river for a long time would also require a stupendously large amount of energy. This energy must be no weaker than a Great Daoist Celestial.
The former was still acceptable.
Although his cultivation base was no longer present, his cultivation realm was still there, and the same for his cognizance. The third ring may be mysterious, but he had already deciphered some clues. In a few months, he would be able to fully comprehend it.
However, the latter was difficult.
Energy no weaker than a Great Daoist Celestial...
Not to mention now, even after tens of eras into the future, the Firmament Star would not witness the birth of a Great Daoist Celestial.
"Huh? Hold on."
"Although I can't find a Great Daoist Celestial, there are the gods. A Venerable God is comparable to a Daoist Celestial, and their divine fragments contain huge energy. If I kill a few more Venerable Gods and get a few more divine fragments, perhaps the combined energy would reach a Great Daoist Celestial's level?"
Chu Kuangren rubbed his chin and set his sight on the Venerable Gods.
As recorded in the history books, the Great Panhuman Revolt was started by the Human King.
In that case, let him repeat history!
If the human race wanted to grow and develop, there was no place for the gods here.
He would not tolerate it!
After devising a plan, Chu Kuangren continued to study the secrets within the third ring of the Timespace Treasure. He was striving to understand it thoroughly as soon as possible.
Time flew by quickly.
Ten days passed, and then twenty days...
Another month went by just like that.
Chu Kuangren had already mastered most of the secrets that the third ring held.
Not only that, but in this process, he had mastered the powers given to him through the Timespace Treasure, namely the Time Lock and Spatial Transfer abilities, even more deeply.
Now, he could use these two abilities through his mind powers alone, without needing his cultivation base at all. He could utilize and harness his mind power like his Emperor qi to activate those abilities.
This gave Chu Kuangren some inspiration.
Emperor qi was a type of energy.
Mind power was also a kind of energy, but it was invisible and intangible. Perhaps he could use his mind power to replace Emperor qi for the time being.
This way, he could still use all the techniques that he had in the past with his soul's powerful mind power even if his cultivation base was gone.
In fact, mind power techniques were in many ways similar to the Emperor Techniques — they hardly took much effort. With Chu Kuangren's cognizance, he soon identified the similarities between the two and connected them together.
"Miniverse, activate!"
With a flicker of his mind, his mind power and Daoist patterns intertwined to form a miniverse that completely enveloped a radius of ten kilometers around him.
Within these ten kilometers, everything was under his control.
"It worked!"
"The miniverse is originally formed by the combination of Emperor qi and Daoist patterns. Yet, I can now amalgamate them through my mind power and Daoist patterns, and the result is as strong as before. Ha! I am really a genius."
Chu Kuangren could not stop grinning delightfully.
He already had a Prominent-grade Dao. If he returned, the complementation of the Prominent-grade Emperor Core in his body and this mind power would make his miniverse extremely powerful.
It was not just the miniverse. Even his other techniques would enhance correspondingly too. After all, the others would be using Emperor qi in combat while he, Emperor qi and mind power, to double his combat strength!
Chu Kuangren was now low-key looking forward to it.
"Oh?"
Just when Chu Kuangren was beaming, he suddenly felt a movement not far away, as if a fight was going on.
He put away the miniverse, and his mind power mobilized. It spread over, only to see that there were three people in the woods beating up a green-shirt teen.
