The Possibility of Achieving a Domain, Emulating Mythology

Whoosh!

A deep blue, ethereal light streaked across the sky. In moments, Shen Mu's King-Class Fighter hovered above Mist Island.

By the time Shen Mu arrived, many people were already on Mist Island. Hong and Luo Feng, in particular, had headed straight for Mist Island after the Inspector's ceremony concluded.

All the major powers had gathered within the Mist Island area. Numerous staff members were working around the lake, urgently constructing various facilities, setting up temporary bases, or installing large laser cannons, all in a state of high alert.

"Head of the Pavilion, Chairman Thunder God."

Shen Mu transformed into a streak of light and appeared beside Hong and Thunder God.

"It seems you've had quite the harvest these past few months," Hong remarked, sizing up Shen Mu.

Others might not have noticed anything, but Hong and Thunder God keenly sensed some changes in Shen Mu.

Previously, Shen Mu had cultivated desperately, as if constantly under pressure and being rushed. Now, he seemed more natural and transparent, his entire demeanor more steady and serene. It was clear his state of mind had achieved a breakthrough.

Shen Mu also smiled and said, "I've been comprehending the world and reading the classics of the ancient sages these past few months. I've indeed gained a lot."

While Shen Mu and Hong were talking, Luo Feng also joined them. The mental power fluctuations around him were several times stronger than when he had first returned, clearly indicating he had truly broken through to the Planet-Level.

"Brother Shen!" Luo Feng greeted Shen Mu.

Shen Mu chuckled and said, "Congratulations, Inspector Luo, on successfully breaking through to the Planet-Level."

As Shen Mu and the others chatted, deep within the underground rock strata, inside a subterranean cavern.

A ship, crimson red with extremely sharp edge lines, lay dormant. Tens of thousands of years had passed, yet the ship remained as new as ever, as if untouched by the ravages of time.

"Hehehe, they've all come, just as expected!"

In the virtual space, a small figure resembling a demon excitedly rubbed its hands together.

"The birth of a so-called Beast Emperor has indeed attracted you all!"

"This is so agonizing, Luo Feng, Shen Mu, who should I choose!"

Luo Feng's Mentalist talent was undeniable. At the ninth stage of the Apprentice level, his brain region width exceeded the standard of 20.

The "Duntian" Secret Technique Luo Feng obtained contained the concept of brain region width, which represented talent in soul and Mentalism.

It specifically mentioned that during the peak period of Yunmo Star, Apprentices with a brain region width of over 20 were considered quite high.

"That Shen Mu is also quite good. He had a brain region width of 17 as an Apprentice. Although it's quite a bit less, his comprehension is stronger than Luo Feng's. He's already begun to comprehend the mysteries of the Domain at the Planet-Level... His future achievements might not be inferior to Luo Feng's."

"Ahhh, this is so frustrating!"

"Boss, why did you only leave behind one Inheritance!"

Although Yunmo Star's various secret manuals could be taught to multiple people, the 'Inheritance Soul Mark' personally created by the owner of Yunmo Star was unique.

The Inheritance Soul Mark had the effect of converting mental power. If it wasn't converted into Yunmo Star's unique mental power, it would be almost impossible to cultivate Yunmo Star's exclusive secret techniques.

"Forget it, it's better to be safe. It's not like Hong's terrifying comprehension!"

"The difference in comprehension isn't that large; soul talent is the fundamental. Choosing Luo Feng is safer. In the future, he can body snatch a high bloodline race, and his future achievements will be limitless, completely compensating for the issue of comprehension."

"Okay, that's settled. Luo Feng will inherit the Master's legacy, and then I'll find an opportunity to bring Shen Mu into the Yunmo Star sect as well. Oh, and that Hong is also good, a Domain expert at the Planet-Level, I'll take him too!"

After making his decision, Babata began to release Mu Ya Crystals one by one.

With the appearance of the Mu Ya Crystals, human society erupted into chaos, with all Councilor-level powerhouses beginning to explore and search for them.

Beneath the ground, Shen Mu controlled his flying knife, swiftly traversing the underground.

Boom!

The rock strata trembled violently, and Shen Mu drilled into a subterranean cavern.

"This is... Mu Ya Crystals... there are 145 of them?"

On the rock surface not far from Shen Mu, over a hundred Mu Ya Crystals, emitting a faint glow, were piled together.

Buzz!

Invisible mental power swept out, instantly enveloping the entire underground cavern. Over a hundred Mu Ya Crystals were immediately absorbed into Shen Mu's backpack.

Shen Mu pondered for a moment, surveying the entire cavern, but he didn't detect the Yunmo Star spaceship.

Babata must have noticed him by throwing out over a hundred Mu Ya Crystals, but it didn't seem to have directly chosen him.

"Whatever, let it be."

If he could obtain the secret techniques of the Yunmo Star lineage in the future, that would be great, but if not, it wouldn't matter.

After all, Shen Mu now had the capital to rise, and even without the legacy of Yunmo Star, he was confident in his rise.

After collecting the Mu Ya Crystals, Shen Mu no longer lingered and turned to leave the area.

Above ground, it was already late at night.

As Shen Mu's figure emerged from underground, he instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

"Councilor Shen Mu."

"Inspector Shen."

Most of the people on the ground were War Gods, while the Planet-Level councilors were still below ground searching for Mu Ya Crystals.

Shen Mu nodded slightly, then turned to a War God from the Limit Martial Hall and asked, "Are the Head of the Pavilion and the others still searching for Mu Ya Crystals?"

"Yes, Inspector Shen. According to the latest intelligence, Inspector Luo just found three Mu Ya Crystals, and the Head of the Pavilion has already rushed over."

"Alright, I understand. Tell the Head of the Pavilion and the others that I'm leaving first. You can summon me anytime if anything comes up."

After giving his instructions, Shen Mu flew directly back to his King-Class Fighter and returned to Kyoto Base City.

These more than a hundred Mu Ya Crystals would first be used to nourish the East Sea Azure Dragon. As a monster that was already Planet-Level upon reaching adulthood, the East Sea Azure Dragon had no bottleneck in growing to Planet-Level Stage Nine as long as it had sufficient resources.

Therefore, Shen Mu planned to use an intensive feeding method to see if he could help the East Sea Azure Dragon reach Planet-Level Stage Nine before the Golden Horned Beast broke through to Star-Level.

As for Shen Mu's main body, his primary focus was still on comprehending heaven and earth.

With the East Sea Azure Dragon's decades of comprehension of the ocean, combined with Shen Mu's own accumulation over the past few months, his artistic conception was now not much weaker than Thunder God's.

However, he encountered the same problem as Thunder God: even though he clearly knew where the path forward lay, he didn't know how to cross this barrier.

But Shen Mu's situation was different from Thunder God's; he possessed a clone of the East Sea Azure Dragon.

During this period, Shen Mu had read various ancient texts, including profound classics and allegorical tales filled with philosophy.

He happened to come across a story that made Shen Mu feel he might have found a path with hope for breaking through to the Domain realm.

"It's January now, and there are still more than four months until the southern flood season... The Golden Horned Beast will evolve to Star-Level next January. There's plenty of time."

When May arrived and the southern flood season began.

Shen Mu planned to emulate the mythical Flood Dragons traversing the waters, riding the tides, and resonating with the natural momentum in a state of Harmony of Man and Nature to comprehend the Domain.

The second update is late, please bear with me, everyone.
