Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

In the following days, apart from handling necessary sect affairs, Shen Mo spent most of his time in the forbidden book vault on the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

He stopped flipping through aimlessly and instead consciously searched for fragments that were vaguely recorded, left room for imagination, and might be related to keywords such as "Master Liuyun", "ancient secrets", "strange creatures", and "lost heritage".

Whenever he found an interesting record, he would try to use it as a "seed," combining it with his own knowledge, the existing inheritance of the Qingyun Sect, and the subtle sensations emanating from the Myriad Laws Source Pearl, to "weave" and "deduce."

He discovered that not all accounts resonated with him. Some accounts were too bizarre and absurd, lacking any logical basis, and the Myriad Laws Source Pearl showed no reaction.

Some may evoke extremely faint resonance, but the direction is unclear and difficult to "weave".

Only those fragments that have a vague connection to the history, geography, characteristics of the techniques of the Qingyun Sect, or even his own experiences (such as the Falling Star Valley incident) can be better "activated" and "completed".

For example, he found a seemingly random sentence on a worm-eaten animal hide book: "...Deep within the Yunmeng Great Swamp, there is a colossal bronze gate, used to imprison demons and suppress monsters. The gate is adorned with flowing cloud patterns, appearing only once every thousand years..."

When he tried to combine it with the deeds of a certain ancestor of the Qingyun Sect who loved to travel and was skilled in formations, and conceived a story of "the ancestor subduing the water demon in Yunmeng Marsh, sealing it with a bronze giant gate, and leaving the Flowing Cloud Array Key to await the destined one", the Myriad Law Source Pearl resonated clearly, and even faintly pointed to the direction of the "Yunmeng Great Marsh" in the south!

Indeed, the Qingyun Sect's heritage includes several ancient formations related to water systems and sealing techniques.

For example, a bone fragment recording an ancient sacrificial dance mentions that one should wear "bone ornaments depicting flowing clouds and stars" during the ritual to communicate with "ancestral spirits".

Shen Mo thought of the "Star River Ruler" and the "Starfall Ancient City" and tried to come up with the idea that "the ancestors of Qingyun Sect once befriended an ancient tribe that controlled the power of stars and exchanged tokens. The star bone ornaments may still contain clues to summoning star power or opening a certain star treasure." This also evoked a slight resonance and was related to the concepts of stars and sacrifices.

These experiments had a low success rate, and the resonances they elicited varied in strength and were vague in their direction. However, each successful "resonance" made Shen Mo's perception and application of this power clearer.

He gradually figured out some patterns: the "fabricated" content needed to have a certain "reasonable" basis, and it was best if it could be connected with real-world objects, places, traditions, and people (especially those related to Qingyun Sect).

The intensity of the "resonance" evoked is related to the "weight" of the "fabricated" story itself (involving the level of power and the scope of influence), the "concentration" of the "real fragments," and the degree of "belief" and "practice." The Myriad Laws Source Pearl is more like a "sensor" and "amplifier" than a "source of creation."

"It seems that this is not a 'wish-granting machine' that can do whatever it wants, but a 'restoration device' with rules."

Shen Mo put down the tattered jade slip in his hand, which recorded a certain "singing spring" (this attempt to "weave" a legacy related to music and rhythmic attacks had failed, yielding no resonance). His understanding deepened.

"What I can do is to weave a more complete and favorable 'story' based on the existing, scattered 'truths' and embed it into the history and cause and effect of reality so that it can be 'believed', thereby attracting fortune and possibly even giving rise to corresponding 'traces' or 'opportunities' in reality."

This ability is incredibly powerful, but it is also fraught with limitations and comes with enormous unknown risks. Each successful "weaving" means that he becomes more deeply entangled with some unknown cause and effect.

However, this is also a shortcut to quickly accumulate resources and enhance the sect's strength! Especially at this critical juncture when storms are brewing and powerful enemies are lurking all around.

"Knock knock knock." A soft knock came from outside the quiet room, interrupting Shen Mo's thoughts.

"Come in."

Han Lin pushed open the door and entered, his face grave, holding an encrypted communication jade talisman in his hand: "Sect Leader, Su Xiao reports urgently. The Shadow Guards have discovered traces of a large-scale gathering of people on the outskirts of the Northern Desert Wilderness, with residual traces of Xuan Yin Sect techniques."

"In addition, within the territory of the Blazing Sun Sect, there are three elite 'Crimson Flame Guard' squads that, under the guise of patrolling the border, are secretly moving towards the Northern Desert. As for the Heavenly Sword Sect, Jian Wuhen recently secretly met with an envoy from the 'Sand Demon' tribe of the Northern Desert."

Shen Mo took the jade talisman, scanned it with his divine sense, and saw the update published! All the readers have gone to see it! A cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The Xuan Yin Sect is indeed making intensive preparations for the "blood sacrifice"!

The Blazing Sun Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect could no longer sit still and began to secretly mobilize troops and even collude with the alien races of the Northern Desert!

Their goal is clearly not just the "Star River Ruler," but they probably also want to take this opportunity to muddy the waters of the Qingyun Alliance and even the entire Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, so as to fish in troubled waters!

"So, it's finally time to make a move..." Shen Mo's fingertips gently...

"Elder Han," Shen Mo raised his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Issue a secret order from the sect leader in my name."

"Sect Leader, please give your orders." Han Lin's expression turned solemn.

"Order Elder Li of the Pill Hall to prepare three sets of trial materials for 'Minor Condensed Gold Powder' within three days, as I will have a great use for them. Or, order Elder Zhao of the Weapon Hall to concentrate resources and prioritize the refining of a batch of 'Armor-Piercing Crossbows', 'Exploding Flame Talisman Arrows', and... ten sets of 'Flowing Cloud Battle Formation' core array plates."

"Order Elder Zhao of the Array Hall to mobilize elite troops, ready to be deployed at any time. Order Elder Shi of the Battle Hall to prepare for war, but maintain a relaxed exterior while remaining vigilant on the inside."

"Instruct Chen Hao of Baibaoge to intensify his efforts to acquire information on substitutes for 'Golden-Patterned Jade Fungus' and 'Nine-Aperture Star Fruit.' Be high-profile, but don't actually buy them; just make it seem like you're urgently searching for them."

Han Lin's heart skipped a beat. The sect leader was about to...make a big move! Materials for "Minor Condensed Gold Powder"? Could it be that the sect leader was going to test the pill himself?

Furthermore, with such a large-scale preparation for war, who is the target? The Northern Desert? The Xuan Yin Sect? Or the Lie Yang Sect and the Tian Jian Sect?

"Furthermore," Shen Mo paused, then took out the jade slip from his robes containing the two stories he had initially "woven" about the "Stone Spirit Seal" and the "Yunmeng Marsh Bronze Giant Gate," and handed it to Han Lin.

"Place the contents of this jade slip in the category of 'Sect Secrets' and 'Fragments of the Ancestral Master's Notes' in the Scripture Pavilion's 'Secret History of the Sect', but set access permissions so that only those at the Golden Core stage or above, or those who have made special contributions to the sect, can access it."

"Remember, the aging process should be done to make it look like a real ancient book."

Han Lin took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "This... Sect Leader, this is..."

The contents recorded in the jade slip were completely unfamiliar to him, but the "Earth Vein Sealing Array" and "Spirit Nourishing and Transforming Technique" mentioned in it were indeed the inheritance of the Qingyun Sect. The details were so vivid that it seemed to be an adventure notebook left by a certain ancestor.

"Just do as I say." Shen Mo didn't explain, but simply said, "Remember, you have to be 'discovered' 'accidentally' by a few trustworthy elders who also enjoy studying ancient books."

Although Han Lin had many doubts, seeing Shen Mo's solemn expression, he dared not ask any further questions and bowed, saying, "I understand."

After Han Lin left, Shen Mo walked to the window alone, gazing at the churning sea of ​​clouds in the distance with a deep look in his eyes.

"We've already laid enough bait. There's one recipe for the Golden Condensation Pill, one recipe for the Star River Ruler, and now, two more clues to the 'Ancestral Master's Legacy'..."

He muttered to himself, a cold smile curving his lips, "Now, we'll see how many fish can't resist jumping out of the water. And I, the fisherman, should get my net ready... to haul it in."

He raised his hand, palm facing upward, and a wisp of pale golden spiritual power containing strange fluctuations quietly emerged. It was the trace of primordial power he obtained after refining the Myriad Laws Source Pearl.

At this moment, this wisp of power slowly swirled in his palm, as if it were resonating mysteriously with some unseen entity in the darkness.

"Fabricating myths, reviving cause and effect, gathering fortune..."

Shen Mo's eyes gleamed, as if reflecting countless possibilities for the future. "This path may be full of thorns, or it may be fraught with danger. But once you've embarked on it, there's no turning back."

"I'd like to see just how high I, Shen Mo, can take the Qingyun Sect and the Qingyun Alliance with this ability to 'fabricate'!"

"And what shape will I... weave the sky of this southern region of the Eastern Wilderness into?"
