Chapter 175.1: God Visualization Art, Visualize Three Pures?

Qi Qi said earnestly, sounding painstakingly sincere, "The people of Clearwater Village aren't very strong. Their contribution to Godfather's growth is indeed minimal. Still Godfather, you must not neglect them. When one ascends to become a True God, your strength, potential, and cultivation speed are all tied to the people of your domain."

Ambition surged within her. She wanted to nurture her godfather into an unparalleled True God, one without equal in the whole world!

Qi Yuan was lost in thought. "But isn’t it enough for me to be strong on my own?"

In the Flowing Wind World, he could mass-produce powerful experts at high speed. But in the Mortal Heart World, things were far more difficult.

Qi Qi painted him a grand vision. "The realm of True Gods is known as the Seven Steps to Heaven. The first three steps are called Venerables, the latter four are Great Venerables. To become a Great Venerable, there must be at least one True God Citizen among the people of your domain. The more True God Citizens you have, the stronger a Great Venerable becomes!"

In truth, the Great Venerable realm was out of the question for now. She only brought it up to give her godfather some motivation. After all, according to the villagers of Clearwater Village, her godfather had only been born not long ago, and struggled to recall most of his memories.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan asked slowly, "Does this also apply to Yang Spirits?"

Qi Qi froze for a moment, then answered hesitantly, "I don't know."

Qi Yuan raised his head and looked at the stars filling the sky. The brightest among them was clearly a Yang Spirit. As for the others, they were at the very least Yin Spirits.

Behind the Great Calamity that was approaching Canglan World stood Yang Spirits and countless immortals. According to Elder Wutian, two hundred thousand years ago, there had once been a peerless powerhouse who defeated the calamity. He ultimately perished when heaven sent down endless immortals and gods.

In that case, with countless immortals and gods at his side, the Great Calamity would be nothing to fear. At worst, both sides would call for reinforcements, then it would be a matter of who had the most powerful allies.

"What you said makes sense," Qi Yuan said, heeding Qi Qi's words. "I want to rename Clearwater Village to Pei County."

He had to cultivate these villagers, but there was a problem.

How exactly am I supposed to do that? Could I really just host banquets every day? That clearly wouldn't be enough.

Qi Yuan decided to discuss it with Qi Qi. "What if I seize some treasures to boost their cultivation?"

"That's one aspect, but more important is the God Visualization Art. However, that requires Godfather to recover memories from your past."

Qi Yuan was confused. "

Huh

?"

What past memories?

Seeing this, Qi Qi explained, "Every Ancient God is a heroic spirit who died in the Hongtang War. In that war, True Gods served as generals, with Violet Palace cultivators as soldiers. Tens of thousands of True Gods may have taken part, and all of them fell in that war, unknown to the world. Godfather is an ancient heroic spirit who once witnessed many True Gods.

"As long as Godfather recovers those memories and describes the gods you once saw, you can condense them into God Visualization Art. Then, you can bestow the God Visualization Art upon your people, allowing them to cultivate accordingly. The stronger the god they visualize, the faster their cultivation grows, and the higher their upper limit becomes."

Thus, the higher an Ancient God's cultivation before death, and the more True Gods they had encountered, the more God Visualization Art they could condense. Heroic spirits with lower cultivation had seen too few gods, and thus could form only a limited number of methods. Naturally, the improvement of their people would also be limited.

Qi Qi added, "Nowadays, most cultivators visualize the Lord Hongtang and his Twelve Heavenly Generals. Although their strength is formidable, too many people visualize them. Moreover, the descriptions are so vague that the actual improvement for cultivators isn't that great. If Godfather remembers ten True Gods, several of whom have never been visualized by other cultivators, the villagers’ cultivation would rise rapidly."

Qi Yuan asked thoughtfully, "If the gods aren't from the Mortal Heart World, can they be used for observation?"

He thought of the Yin Spirits of the Canglan World. They should also count as True Gods. Qi Yuan had seen quite a few of them.

Qi Qi asked, "Have those gods ever received incense worship?"

𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"No."

"If they’ve never received incense or become the object of mass faith, then it likely wouldn’t work," Qi Qi said seriously.

True Gods of the Mortal Heart World had more or less received the worship of at least one city in the past. Only such gods could be condensed into God Visualization Art.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately realized his idea wouldn't work. Could he return to the Canglan World, call those Yin Spirits over, and have them establish temples to receive mass worship? Just thinking about it made it obvious how absurd it was. Moreover, the number of Yin Spirits he had encountered in the Canglan World wasn't large to begin with.

"Godfather, you don't have to worry," Qi Qi comforted him. "Once your memories awaken, you'll be able to condense God Visualization Art."

Qi Yuan really wanted to say.

I don't have any memories to awaken!!

He hadn't participated in the Hongtang War, let alone seen any True Gods. How was he supposed to condense a God Visualization Art?!

Suddenly, he paused in thought. "These new gods also receive the worship of the masses. If I condense them into a God Visualization Art, would that work?"

Qi Qi felt that her godfather was being wildly imaginative. Still, considering that he had only recently been born, she understood.

Qi Qi explained, "Observing these new gods would cause terrifying consequences. The people might even be assimilated by them, becoming divine abominations."

That instantly dispelled Qi Yuan's idea.

"Godfather doesn't need to think so much. For now, just defeat more evil gods and accumulate evil god spiritual energy. Normally, one must expend their own spiritual energy to condense a God Visualization Art, but an evil god’s spiritual energy can serve as a substitute."

"I do have a little bit of evil god spiritual energy," Qi Yuan said.

After slaying two evil gods, he had indeed obtained some. He just didn't know how to use it. Qi Qi’s explanation solved it.

Qi Yuan couldn't help asking, "If I fabricate some True Gods, can I use them to create a God Visualization Art?"

Qi Qi smiled gently. "If Godfather understands those gods well enough, it might actually be possible. The method for condensing God Visualization Arts is recorded here. Once Godfather recovers your memories, you should naturally know these things. I'll let Godfather take a look at the method in advance. You can test it out a little."

Even if it failed, it wouldn't consume evil god spiritual energy, only waste some time. Thus, Qi Qi calmly handed the method to Qi Yuan. After speaking for a while, Qi Qi left the divine temple.

Qi Yuan sat alone inside, his brow tightly furrowed. "Could it be that I'm only suited for fighting alone?"

He didn't know any incense-receiving True Gods, so he truly couldn't condense a God Visualization Art.

"Would fabricated ones work?"

Suddenly, a thought struck him.

Weren’t there countless gods in Blue Planet?

The Three Pure Ones and Four Sovereigns, the Five Directions and Five Elders, the Six Offices and Seven Primes... [1]

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up. Didn't they meet the minimum requirements for being a True God? It was just that they seemed to be fictional.

He thought for a moment, then hurriedly opened the method Qi Qi had given him. It was a piece of black cloth inscribed with white characters, recording the condensation process.

"Before observing a god, one may enter a divine world and exchange God Visualization Arts with other gods?" Qi Yuan froze, excitement rising. "Could this be another chat group?!"

Holding the black cloth, he circulated his divine nature according to the method.
