Inside the Yin-Yang Divine Temple, on the surrounding stone walls, Wang Hao condensed ten sharp sword energies with his ten fingers and carved them, creating lifelike murals.
In the center of these murals are two enormous figures, the Ancient Sun Emperor and the Ancient Lunar Emperor that he had previously created, with a great sun and a crescent moon hanging behind them respectively.
He commands numerous lifelike figures, while his opponents are a variety of monsters.
If any StarCraft players were here, they would surely recognize the various Zerg races from StarCraft. To further enhance the immersive experience, Wang Hao even added dinosaurs, creating the illusion of a major battle between the two sides.
That's not all. In his setting, the interstellar insectoids and dinosaurs are just cannon fodder-level Ferocious Beast. The true Ferocious Beast beast bosses are derived from the Ferocious Beast of the Primordial World.
In the Primordial World, there existed a large number of Ferocious Beast beasts and monsters, each of them enormous in size. The smaller ones were tens of feet long, while the larger ones were hundreds or thousands of feet long.
Wang Hao had never seen those big ones, but he often saw the smaller ones. He had even seen many Jiuli Tribe warriors dragging huge Ferocious Beast carcasses back to the city after going out hunting.
Therefore, there's absolutely no need for him to fabricate anything; he can just use the real version.
Fortunately, he possessed Innate Divine Sense, which elevated his control to an unimaginable level. Sculpting the Divine Charm might be difficult, but merely the external form was quite simple.
Although the surrounding stone walls were made of extremely hard granite, they were barely stronger than tofu under the influence of the Innate Thunder Sword Qi.
"It looks pretty good!"
Jumping down from the wooden ladder, Wang Hao examined his work and nodded with satisfaction. Now, only the final step remained.
"I hope you guys can step up your game!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Hao ran his hand across his brow, and a cracked scimitar appeared in his hand—the very one he had obtained from the Patriarch Red Sun, containing a vast amount of Blood Baleful Intent Qi.
He couldn't capture the Divine Charm of those Ferocious Beast in his carvings. Simple stone carvings alone wouldn't be enough to fool the martial arts practitioners, so he had to come up with something more mystical.
He had been preparing for this for several days!
He curled his right fingers into a claw and forcefully drew in the curved blade in his hand. Three crimson orbs of light emerged from them, vaguely trying to coalesce into a human shape, but were interfered with by some force. Despite his repeated efforts, he failed to succeed and could only form three orbs the size of fists.
These three orbs of light were the phantoms formed by the lingering remnants of emperors inside Mount Tai. A portion of them was sealed into Wang Hao's scimitar, allowing the vast Blood Sha within to taint them, which resulted in their current form.
Although the phantoms formed by the lingering thoughts of these emperors were essentially formed from the National Fortune of various countries and the thoughts of those emperors, they absorbed the divine essence within his Spirit Sea. In a sense, they were refined by him, and at a high level.
Therefore, those illusory emperors were essentially his Divine Sense clones, which he could use to do many things. The ten ancient emperors he had tricked out this time gave him a bold idea.
In the Primordial Great World, besides the mainstream Body Refinement such as the Immortal Dao, Devil Dao, Buddhist Dao, there is another Body Refinement that is no less powerful— the Divine Dao.
The most common members of the Divine Dao are the local earth gods and mountain gods, with the city god being a higher level.
Although there are no such divine officials in the Jiuli Tribe, everyone worships the totems of Pangu, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and the Great Demon God Chiyou. They even hold a sacrificial ceremony every year. This totem worship is also a variant system of the Divine Dao way.
The core of the Divine Dao is the Power of Faith, Power of Faith is equally profound and extraordinary, and its power is no weaker than that of the mainstream Body Refinement.
Although Wang Hao's previous life in the Primordial World world was just a novice at the lowest level, and he was not qualified to access high-level secrets, he knew a lot of common knowledge, including the principles of totem creation.
There are many ways to create a totem, the most common and simplest of which is to use the soul of a strong person as the core to forge a totem pole.
In the Jiuli Tribe, some powerful individuals who made outstanding contributions would have their souls attached to totem poles after death, becoming shamanic spirits similar to ghost cultivators. They would receive worship from the tribe members and absorb the Power of Faith to continue living in another form.
These spirits can continue to cultivate, but their movements will be greatly restricted. They cannot stray too far from the totem pole and must also be responsible for guarding the tribespeople under their protection.
Therefore, guardian totems exist in almost every tribe within the Jiuli Tribe; they are a very common sight.
Wang Hao now intends to use this system as a reference to develop Body Refinement based on faith Divine Dao.
Of course, he was just trying to copy it, or rather, it was an experiment. He didn't know if he would succeed, but even if he failed, he wouldn't lose much.
"By the Great God Pangu, I hope you will bless me with swift success!"
After silently praying, Wang Hao focused his Divine Sense into one of the crimson light clusters, hypnotizing himself into believing he was a Ferocious Beast, and attempting to guide and modify the cluster's shape in this way.
These orbs of light were all formed by the fusion of the illusory images of emperors with Blood Sha, and their core was still the lingering remnants of those emperors.
Although they are just remnants that cannot think, their instincts still exist, and they will spontaneously transform back into their former human form.
What he needs to do now is modify this instinct, hypnotize it into a Ferocious Beast, one of the three Ferocious Beast he carved on the wall, or to put it bluntly, brainwash it.
It's very difficult to do this, but fortunately, his Innate Divine Sense is extraordinary. In addition, those emperor phantoms were formed by absorbing his divine essence. Furthermore, they only had remnants of his will and no rationality, so they were eventually brainwashed.
A small, blood-red, three-headed snake coiled above Wang Hao's palm. Although it looked petite and delicate, it exuded an extremely fierce Divine Charm that sent chills down one's spine at first glance.
It should be noted that this three-headed serpent itself had absorbed a large amount of Blood Sha within the Blood Blade, and Wang Hao's hypnotic and brainwashing form originated from the Primordial World.
This creature was originally a behemoth nearly a hundred feet long. Even though it was only through visualization and hypnosis that a Sisi of its Divine Charm was emanated, it was still quite terrifying.
Without pausing, Wang Hao brought his curved blade close to the three-headed serpent, controlling it to devour the Blood Sha within and grow stronger until it reached a size of nearly a hundred feet before stopping.
Having devoured a large amount of Blood Sha, the three-headed serpent displayed an even more terrifying ferocity, causing even Wang Hao, its creator, to feel a chill run down his spine.
What troubled him even more was that after absorbing a large amount of Blood Sha, this guy was showing signs of going berserk, clearly being disturbed by the vast negative emotions within the Blood Sha.
Without daring to stop, Wang Hao hurriedly controlled the phantom of the three-headed ferocious snake to dart into the corresponding Ferocious Beast wall carving, using his Innate Divine Sense as a guide to seal and integrate it into the carving.
As the phantom of the three-headed serpent merged into the sculpture, it seemed to come alive, displaying a terrifying ferocity.
"Whew... This is really not a job for a human!"
Panting heavily, Wang Hao was exhausted. He almost lost control and let the phantom of the three-headed serpent go berserk. If that had happened, it would have been a huge problem.
After catching his breath, he didn't dare to stop. He used the same method to hypnotize and brainwash the remaining two orbs of light, and then used the vast Blood Sha inside the scimitar to expand their size to nearly a hundred feet, sealing them and integrating them into the corresponding wall carvings.
That wasn't all. Wang Hao then pulled out two illusory emperor figures from his own Spirit Sea, hypnotized and brainwashed them, and shaped them into the images of the Ancient Sun Emperor Ancient Lunar Emperor. He then sealed them into the corresponding wall carvings of the Sun and Moon Ancient Emperors.
"So, it's your turn, the two of you, the main characters?"
Exhausted, Wang Hao turned his gaze to the two golden statues in the center of the hall. Both of these golden statues were ten zhang tall, and they were the statues of the Ancient Lunar Emperor and the Ancient Sun Emperor that he had sculpted.
Using the same method, Wang Hao once again retrieved two illusory emperor figures from his sea of consciousness, hypnotized and brainwashed them, transforming them into the images of deities. Then, using the Innate Divine Sense within them as a guide, he infused them with memory fragments from the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star in the Primordial Great World.
Once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, by connecting with the two statues using Divine Sense and the Power of Faith, one can receive fragments of memories from the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star within them.
The Primordial Great World is the most advanced world, and the Sun Star and Taiyin Star within it naturally possess extraordinary power. Even just observing them can bring unexpected benefits.
In the Primordial World, the so-called absorption of the essence of the Sun Moon by those beings not only involved absorbing the energy of the physical bodies, but also comprehending the boundless divine Divine Charm displayed by the two great stars, the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star, which was of great benefit to cultivation.
Of course, although Wang Hao's own memories could only Simulation a Sisi of the Divine Charm, it was still quite remarkable in the low-level martial arts world of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer at the World.
It's certainly good enough to fool people.
Wang Hao was creating an ancient emperor statue inside, and all the martial arts practitioners gathered in the open space in front of the main hall, including the eight Confucian School patriarchs, who were all staring intently at the closed stone door of the main hall.
Although he had learned from Wang Hao that the Ten Ancient Emperor Temples possessed incredible power, he had never witnessed it with his own eyes, so he naturally wanted to see it as soon as possible.
So everyone put down what they were doing and gathered together, waiting for the Yin-Yang Divine Temple to open.
As everyone waited anxiously, the tightly closed stone doors of the main hall finally opened slowly, and a figure with an unsteady aura staggered out—who else could it be but Wang Hao?
Even with his profound foundation, dealing with so much at once was too much for him to handle, mainly due to the significant depletion of his Innate Divine Sense.
"Young friend Ximen, is it done?"
The eight Confucian School patriarchs and numerous Peak Innate experts, who were standing in the center, quickly stepped forward and asked with trepidation.
They paid a huge price to build these nine temples; if they failed, they would really suffer a huge loss.
"It's done! But your mining and smelting technology in the Central Plains is really bad. You can't even make a solid statue. Making a gilded one almost killed me."
Nodding, Wang Hao couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
His original idea was to make the ancient emperor statue Pure Gold, but unfortunately the amount of gold donated was limited, so in the end he could only gild it, with the statue inside being pure stone.
These words left all the martial arts practitioners present speechless. They had all participated in the entire construction of the temple and naturally knew what the statues inside were all about.
If it were just an ordinary statue, that would be fine; even a life-size statue could be cast using the gold they donated.
But if you make a statue ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) tall, who can withstand that?
Even if you collected all the gold in the world, you probably couldn't cast ten statues of gods.
Ultimately, they had no choice but to go for a gold-plated one.
But they dared not say anything, knowing that these overseas martial arts circles were capable of building massive seagoing ships hundreds of feet in size, which showed just how advanced their mining and smelting technology was.
If they had that ability, they would actually have the resources to create a genuine Pure Gold statue.
"Young friend Ximen, please rest for now. We, the elders, will go in first to pay our respects to the two ancient emperors!"
The Confucian School patriarch, who was at the head of the group, gave a greeting and walked past Wang Hao, quickly heading into the main hall. The other Xiantian Grandmaster Realm followed closely behind, leaving only the martial arts practitioners below the Xiantian Grandmaster to wait outside.
They dared not compete with those powerful figures who possessed Innate abilities for a position; they could only enter after those powerful figures emerged.
"Hey! You guys need to be careful!"
Wang Hao was about to offer a reminder when, unfortunately, these people were too fast. Before he could finish speaking, they all rushed inside, and then screams and vomiting of blood echoed from the main hall.
