Chapter 389: Chapter 358: Ascending to the Heavenly Palace_1
Xu Mu stood in place, furrowing his brow as he thought. All of a sudden, a thought flashed through his mind.
“Could it be that I also need to recite a name?”
Thinking back carefully, it seemed like during their worship, the patients would always use titles such as saint or holy mother.
Only Xu Tiantian was closing her eyes and meditating, not doing anything, which made Xu Mu forget about that detail.
“Maybe she didn’t recite out loud, but was saying it silently in her heart.”
With a bit of reluctance to give up, Xu Mu prepared two more incense sticks, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, cleared his distracting thoughts, and began to chant.
“Bless us holy maiden! Bless us holy maiden…”
With the continuous incantations, Xu Mu found that his spirit had fallen into a deep state of calm without him even realizing it.
He was startled, but suppressed the urge to pull away, continuing to silently chant.
He didn’t know how much time had passed before he found that his consciousness seemed to be breaking free from his body.
It wasn’t the spirit, nor the mind, and not the vital energy, but consciousness itself.
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Mu let this feeling be. Then an illusory version of him seemed to step out of his own body.
Was this an out-of-body experience?
No, it wasn’t the spirit, nor the consciousness, it should be referred to as a thought.
Just a simple thought!
Because when this illusory body came out of the physical one, he could still feel his physical existence and his nascent soul, as if he were split into two in an instant.
This sensation was somewhat like that of the parasitism skill’s cloning, but not exactly, which made it feel very strange, like having an extra pair of hands, an extra set of eyes.
“Being able to separate a thought, that’s really strange! The methods of the people behind this are not ordinary, I have to be careful!” Xu Mu thought.
Although the current situation seemed strange, Xu Mu did not stop it.
His purpose today was to investigate the people behind this. Now that he had discovered an anomaly, he naturally could not give up halfway.
Even though the opponent’s methods were strange, Xu Mu was confident that he could handle them with his current cultivation level.
After the thought separated from his body, Xu Mu found that it didn’t have much power, like a powerless child.
At the same time, a chilling wind seemed to blow from nowhere. His thought-formed body felt icy cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Ever since his cultivation advanced to Foundation Establishment, he hadn’t felt like this in many years.
“Interesting!” Xu Mu said, his heart filled with excitement.
No matter what the other party’s purpose was, he decided to seize this method of separating thoughts.
This separation of thoughts gave him a sense of being an ordinary person again, which was of great help to his cultivation of mentality.
The reason why high-tier cultivators had a hard time cultivating their mentality was that they were too powerful, and ordinary hardships had no effect on them.
But this separated thought made him feel like an ordinary person again.
If he could cultivate his mentality as an ordinary person, he would undoubtedly grow faster than a high-tier cultivator.
While he was in thought, a beam of light suddenly shone from the sky, like a heavenly holy light, illuminating his thought-formed body.
The freezing sensation was immediately dispelled, and his body started to feel stronger, as if it were filling up with air.
Xu Mu looked up and saw that the roof had disappeared. In his sight was a palace floating in the sky, splendid and filled with immortal energy. It appeared just like the heavenly palaces of legends.
Was this an illusion?
Xu Mu did not have time to analyze. His thought-formed body started to fly towards the heavenly palace uncontrollably. He did not resist and allowed the invisible force to drag his thought into the palace.
