974 Three Contests (1/2)

Besides visualizing the Jade Capital Pearl, one also had to materialize it from illusion before one could complete Divine King Lang Wo's test. One had to visualize and turn into reality all of the mountains, rivers, trees, runes, buildings, and even ancient gods in a detailed manner.

This was the part that truly tested masters of creation's consciousnesses.

If Qin Mu hadn't sealed those nine masters of creation and they caused trouble, he couldn't have visualized the Jade Capital Pearl nor turned it into reality.

However, now, he had plenty of time to do so.

Consciousness flooded out of Qin Mu, who sat at the center of the Jade Capital Pearl. It was as if there were thousands of invisible painter hands with invisible brushes. He created an entire world in the pearl that looked more and more realistic as time went on.

Long after that, he finally recalled his own consciousness and stopped visualizing. He walked through the pearl and went back on the sacrificial altar.

The various masters of creation came to size it up carefully. They saw that the pearl Qin Mu visualized was way smaller than the holy object of the Xiu Clan. However, they found no flaws at all, just some minor differences between the ancient gods Qin Mu visualized and those in the Xiu Clan's holy object.

Xiu Zhong laughed. ”Not bad, coming from the holy infant. Such a creation would make you an elite amongst us. Although the consciousness cultivation and the form of the gods and devils are slightly off, they are likely due to lack of knowledge, which isn't your fault, holy infant…”

At that moment, he saw the ancient gods of the pearl moving. Each one of them moved in a different way and form, and the Great Dao runes on them were different too!

Not only that, but the 256 ancient gods each recited their own Dao scriptures in 256 different Dao languages, forming a grand Dao voice that came out of the pearl together. It was especially solemn and serious!

Following the rumbling of the Dao voice, the runes, celestial bodies, mountains, and water bodies of the pearl gave off a glow, as if the pearl had coalesced a heavenly force and was giving off a shocking tremor!

All of the chiefs got scared and backed off quickly.

The Jade Capital Pearl that Qin Mu visualized radiated a light that projected over a thousand acres worth of space. The runes and formation markings were projected too. In the end, another Jade Capital Pearl of a thousand feet radius was projected from the original one!

However, only the interior of it was real, its exterior was an apparition.

However, the apparition's runes packed power too, and the celestial bodies, mountains, and water bodies continued coalescing into something real. The Jade Capital City also appeared with all forms of gods and devils standing tall, murmuring different Dao languages.

Hmmm—

The Jade Capital Pearl apparition shook as it gave off light and projected itself again, forming a third Jade Capital Pearl that was even larger outside the two that were already formed!

Those around the sacrificial altar were shrouded by it, mesmerized by the third heaven formed by the second projection.

Hmmm—

The third heaven projected again, forming the fourth heaven, then the fifth and the sixth.

After forming the sixth heaven, the projected apparition dimmed and was unable to project itself again.

Qin Mu stood on the sacrificial altar as the God Eye at the heart of his brow shut itself. The heavens dissipated too, leaving the pearl as a spirit pearl the size of the tip of his finger in his palm.

”Xiu Zhong, can your Xiu Clan use your holy object like this?” asked the Zili Chief, Can Nü.

Xiu Zhong was stunned. He shook his head and replied, ”No.”

Qin Mu gave him the Jade Capital Pearl he visualized, saying, ”The ancient gods your clan visualized lack some runes. Hence, they were unable to project the second heaven. I have made up for it, so if someone has a strong enough consciousness, they can project a second heaven from the pearl and turn it into reality. My consciousness isn't strong enough, so I can only project six heavens. The Xiu Clan is truly powerful. The power in this Jade Capital Pearl is astounding!”

He couldn't help but praise, ”If I didn't have deep attainments in painting, forging, the arts, and algebra, I wouldn't have been able to visualize it! Impressive, Xiu Clan!”

Xiu Zhong carefully picked up the Jade Capital Pearl he visualized. He was still stunned. ”The Jade Capital Pearl we visualized lacks that function…”

He quickly followed up, saying, ”With the ancient gods' runes, can one infinitely project?”

Qin Mu shook his head, explaining, ”When I was visualizing, due to time constraints, I could only calculate to 18 decimal places without error. That means that it can only project 18 heavens. After that, due to inadequacies in algebra, errors in projection will grow, and the heavens projected will lack power due to said errors.”

Xiu Zhong was stunned. ”Algebra?”

Qin Mu nodded. ”Algebra. When masters of creation visualize simple things like a mirror, algebra isn't needed. However, for complex things like runes, algebra is needed. With algebra alone, I wouldn't be able to create a perfect sphere, but, with visualization, I can make the objects forged more accurate to my imagination. If it was accurate enough, one could infinitely project with a strong enough consciousness!”

Xiu Zhong was still perplexed.

Qin Mu was helpless. He shook his head, lonelily. These masters of creation didn't know about algebra.

They had no need for algebra, for they could visualize the most perfect surfaces and any formation markings. Therefore, they hadn't developed algebra.

However, visualization wasn't omnipotent. Algebra was needed when visualizing detailed structures.

Divine King Lang Wo laughed. ”Since the first test has been completed, let's begin the second one, the corporeal body test. This one is simple, it's just combat using corporeal bodies. There's no using consciousness, one has to fight with the corporeal body only.”

Another nine masters of creation walked out. They were imposing in size.

Qin Mu's heart fluttered as he looked at Xiu Zhong, whispering, ”Not dangerous?”

Xiu Zhong was brimming with confidence as he replied, ”It's not for the holy infant!”

Qin Mu glanced at Shu Jun as he proudly called out, ”Use the consciousness training technique I taught you. You'll definitely beat them!”

Qin Mu was furious. This fellow had only imparted the Three Enclosures Higher Knowledge, not the consciousness training technique!

Qin Mu had to exchange with Shu Jun for his consciousness techniques, so all of the consciousness techniques he cultivated were incomplete.
