I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1070 - 396: Refining Emotions into Desire! Two Women on the Brink of Collapse! (Part 2)
The greatest sorrow in life is nothing more than when someone dies, yet their treasures remain unused...
As for the "Ancient Lingxian", relying on Dragon Qi for enhancement is more worthwhile.
"Showhand is a kind of wisdom!"
"Little mystical skill, watch me fill you up!"
[Proficiency increased...]
[Current progress: Purple Extreme Mysterious Skill: Mastery!]
After completely exhausting all resources, a message flashed before his eyes.
Yet Chen Mo waited for a while but felt no changes.
"Is that it?"
"Geneva, refund!"
While he was bewildered, he noticed that his body was surrounded by a layer of translucent "membrane".
Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be some sort of magnetic field, twisting the space and causing everything within it to vibrate randomly.
"Is this the 'Purple Extreme Cave Heaven'?"
Chen Mo vaguely understood, placed his hand on the bed frame, and with a slight thought, a piece of the sandalwood frame suddenly disappeared—
This wasn't destruction, but decomposition.
Where his palm touched, it turned into countless tiny particles, dancing and swirling in the air.
Under Chen Mo's control, those particles gathered together, transforming into a living green bird, fluttering its wings and landing on Chen Mo's shoulder, its eyes lively and intelligent, affectionately rubbing against his cheek.
Chen Mo signaled for it to fly farther away.
However, the bird just left the range of the magnetic field and immediately lost vitality, its body stiffening, turning into wood chips, scattering in the wind.
"Under the coverage of the Purple Extreme Cave Heaven, I can alter rules to a certain extent. As the realm advances, I might even reverse gravity and interchange water and fire!"
"Currently, it can only cover a few inches around me. To achieve the effects of the Cave Heaven and even influence a region, a massive amount of Seven Emotions True Fire is needed for refinement, something that can't be accomplished overnight."
"In other words, mastering the technique is just the beginning."
He rubbed his chin with his fingers, pondering how to acquire the Power of Seven Emotions.
Suddenly, his consciousness blurred, his divine soul seemed to detach from the Spirit Platform, instantly crossing vast mountains and rivers, arriving at the southern outskirts of Tiandu City.
Before him lay a sizable temple, facing south with a width of five rooms. The entrance bore a black plaque inscribed with "Zhenyue Temple", surrounded by a throng of people.
Chen Mo entered the temple, beneath a roof of overlapping eaves covered with yellow glazed tile cylinders.
In the center stood a tower-shaped treasure top, and below it, a tall greenstone statue.
Its robe patterned with scales fluttering in the wind, standing upon a rainbow cloud, exuding an aura of immortal grace and bone, its lowered eyes surveying all beings with benevolence, its handsome face nearly identical to his own!
Beside the statue, a stone tablet was erected, carved in neat regular script:
[For Duke Zhenyue Mr. Chen, Memorial Tablet of the Temple...]
[Mr. Chen, brave and good, possessing great virtue and achievements, slicing the Heavenly Demon, battling the horde of monsters, curing ailment, alleviating people's distress...]
[Heaven blesses Great Yuan, this statesman descends, a temple must be erected for observation, unforgettable for generations to come...]
[Article by Assistant Minister of Rites Feng Jinyu, inscribed by Tongzheng Envoy Shangguan Ming, established in the summer's end of the 750th year of the Great Yuan Calendar.]
The inscription detailed Chen Mo's past accomplishments, generously praising him, making him feel a bit embarrassed.
"So this is Tiandu City's temple in my honor?"
"I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly in the Southern Border, only a few days, such efficiency..."
"But how can I perceive this scene from a distance of thousands of miles? Does Purple Extreme Mysterious Skill possess such great power?"
He could tell that everything before him was real and happening now, not an illusory world.
Dong—
A melodious bell sounded.
Outside, a long queue had already formed and continued to grow, consisting of the people Chen Mo once aided.
Today was the first day Zhenyue Temple officially opened, and many waited from the break of dawn, entering in an orderly manner once the temple official opened the doors, coming into the temple.
The crowd gazed at the statue, their expressions filled with gratitude and respect, lighting incense in their hands, bowing and placing the incense into the bronze censer before them.
Then they knelt upon the prayer mats, bowing their heads in worship.
"Thankful for Mr. Chen's kindness, I'll never be able to repay it in this life..."
"Hope Mr. Chen can bless my family with safety and prosperity..."
"Yao'er, remember this gentleman, he granted you a second life..."
"Mr. Chen possesses divine skills, can you help me see when I might find a wife?"
They muttered softly, some praying, others petitioning, their voices echoing within, causing an invisible ripple merging with the ascending smoke from the censer, trailing toward Chen Mo's soul, entering it.
Meanwhile, the Purple Extreme Mysterious Skill operated automatically, grinding away miscellaneous thoughts like a millstone, leaving only the purest energy. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Mortal soul power fluctuations were extremely weak, but with so many people, it was like numerous small streams converging into a river, allowing Chen Mo to clearly feel the steady enhancement of his Divine Soul Origin!
Even the Purple Gold Dragon Qi became active, with prompt messages flashing continuously:
[Progress in "Ancient Lingxian" increased, current progress: Burning Thunder (3060/10000).]
[Progress in "Ancient Lingxian" increased, current progress: Burning Thunder (3062/10000).]
[...]
"Seems the temple's effect exceeds expectations, not only enhancing Dragon Qi but also cultivating techniques, truly a double benefit..." Chen Mo felt as if his soul was soaking in a hot spring, extremely comfortable, his entire being floating with immortal grace, yet his consciousness remained exceptionally clear.
Unlike Yin Tiankou's forceful extraction of the people's seven emotions and six desires, this voluntary worship causes them no harm, instead dissolving their distractions and calming their minds.
