Chapter 516: The Threshold of the Outer Realm
Chapter 516: The Threshold of the Outer Realm
"This... this is the true essence of the Void Dao..."
Chen Mu gazed at the data on the system panel, took a deep breath, and then carefully savored the profound mysteries he now comprehended.
Using the system panel for cultivation, whether it was for the Martial Dao or the Primordial Dao, yielded almost identical results. It wasn't about forcing him to acquire that power, but rather, in an extremely short period, it forcefully infused the insights of that level into his consciousness.
In a fleeting moment, it was as if he had experienced decades or even hundreds of years of contemplation, ultimately leading to his understanding and mastery.
It seemed like an artificial boost through the system, but in reality, the entire process still relied on accumulating insights bit by bit. The system merely accelerated this process.
Having reached his current cultivation level, Chen Mu could also vaguely grasp some of the mysteries of the system panel. Firstly, the power of the Path of Time was undoubtedly present on the system panel. That fleeting moment, akin to experiencing the folding of thousands of years, was undoubtedly the power of time.
In the past, his cultivation level and understanding were too low to perceive this power. Although he still couldn't fully comprehend it now, he could vaguely glimpse a corner of this vast mystery.
"The folding of time..."
Chen Mu shook his head slightly.
His understanding of the Path of Time was still superficial, and he couldn't fathom the level of power it represented. Moreover, these were merely his speculations about the system panel. As for the true source of its power, he still couldn't find any trace of it.
Quickly brushing aside his stray thoughts, Chen Mu turned his gaze to the void before him, and a hint of fervor flashed in his eyes.
After achieving Blood Transformation and becoming invincible, it was rare for him to feel a power that could excite him. Undoubtedly, the Primordial Void Dao was one such power!
"Void!"
Chen Mu's intent stirred.
Crack!
At this moment, he didn't move his body at all, nor did he summon the power of his soul to control the heavens. Yet, the void before him suddenly shattered like a mirror.
In the void, white lines appeared, eventually deepening and turning into black void rifts. Simultaneously, a surging force of the void gushed from the rifts, rushing towards Chen Mu.
But this time, these surging forces of the void didn't harm Chen Mu's body in the slightest, nor did he need to actively resist them. Instead, they flowed around him like streams of water, swirling around his body.
In the past, although Chen Mu wasn't afraid of the void rifts, it was only because his physique was strong enough. However, his clothes couldn't withstand the force of the void, and they would tear during every battle. But now, as the surging void force swirled around him, his clothes remained intact.
"This is the power of the void."
Chen Mu felt the force of the void swirling around him, flowing like water under his control, causing ripples in his heart.
Indeed, the power of the Void Dao was fundamentally different from that of Heaven and Earth. It was the very foundation that supported Heaven and Earth and the entire boundless universe. It was the power of the origin.
Merely by comprehending the mysteries of the void and forming a rudimentary understanding of the Void Dao, the power he grasped already surpassed that of Heaven and Earth.
With this power, he could even open up a small heavenly realm!
Of course, at his current level, if he were to open up a heavenly realm, it would only be a tiny area, probably not much larger than the Heaven and Earth Flask. Moreover, maintaining the opened void heavenly realm would also require continuous exertion of power; otherwise, it would quickly dissipate in the endless void tides.
"No wonder one can steadily advance in the Divine Rank Nine by merely forming a rudimentary understanding of the Void Dao."
Chen Mu raised his right hand, directing the force of the void that gushed from the void rifts to swirl around his palm. Then, he gently pointed downward.
Hiss!
The force of the void condensed into a line at his fingertip and pierced downward in an instant, disappearing into the earth.
There was no violent shaking or cracking, only the area where the force of the void had passed was affected. The soil, sand, and everything else were disintegrated and devoured by the void.
Finally,
Right beneath Chen Mu's pointing finger, a deep, bottomless finger hole appeared on the ground.
Chen Mu roughly sensed it and couldn't help but marvel at the power of the void. With just this simple finger, he had penetrated a thousand zhang of earth, reaching the Earth's core!
It was known that almost all Heaven Man experts in the world were unable to delve a thousand zhang into the earth's core when it was not yet opened.
But now, with just a single void finger, Chen Mu had pierced through a thousand zhang of earth, connecting with the Earth's core. What terrifying power!
Divine Rank Six.
After comprehending the rudimentary form of the Void Dao, there was no doubt that his strength had reached this level.
The essence of Void Energy was fundamentally superior to the forces of Heaven and Earth, and at the same level of refinement, the power of Heaven and Earth, or the force of the cosmos, would be directly devoured and disintegrated upon encountering Void Energy.
Chen Mu could sense that this power was on par with the 'Divine Power' wielded by Divine Realm beings, both belonging to the primordial cosmic force.
When he ventured deep into the underground abyss of Shacheng, if he had grasped the rudimentary form of the Void Dao, his confrontation with the Demonic Divine Realm being would have been far less one-sided. He almost suffered a severe injury from the palm strike that was backed by the entire Great Xuan world's repulsion and oppression.
At that time, although his soul had been tempered into an Immortal Soul, it was merely that. Facing a Divine Realm being, he could only forcefully use his soul power to control the power of Heaven and Earth, refining it to the utmost to counterattack.
No matter how refined the power of Heaven and Earth became, it was ultimately not of the same level as 'Divine Power'. It was only with the support of the 'Immortal Soul Power' within that he could barely resist a few attacks.
He was not the embodiment of the will of the Great Xuan world, and thus could not summon the vast power of an entire world to fend off enemies.
However, things were different now.
By harnessing the power of the Immortal Soul to control the Void Energy of the Void Dao, he now possessed both the 'flesh' and the 'blood and bones', truly reaching the level of a Divine Realm power!
It was not surprising that a Divine Rank Six being could possess such power, as those who had cultivated an 'Immortal Body' and an 'Immortal Soul' were constantly on the verge of breaking into the Divine Realm.
[ Physique: Blood Refinement (Perfect) ]
[ Experience: 9437 points ]
Chen Mu summoned the system panel once more for a quick glance.
On the panel, he noticed that his physique cultivation had also increased by about 50 points of experience. This was the result of his simultaneous contemplation of the Void Dao and the refinement of his Martial Blood with the power of Heaven and Earth, but the efficiency was indeed slow, taking a full year to accumulate 50 points.
If he were to cultivate and accumulate experience in a systematic manner, it would take over a decade to gather a total of 10,000 points.
Without the Demon Calamity, a decade would pass by in the blink of an eye, but with the calamity looming, whether a decade would be sufficient was uncertain.
Of course.
Having gained a preliminary understanding of the Void Dao, Chen Mu already possessed the ability to survive in the Void. However, he could not bring Xu Hongyu and the others with him, and his ability was limited to wandering in the Void near the Great Xuan world, as he had only grasped the rudimentary form of the Void Dao.
The Void was like water, with calm and turbulent areas. The Void near the Great Xuan world was relatively calm, but the further one ventured, the more intense the Void's turbulence became, akin to tides, and even deeper within, there were more violent Void storms!
The reason why a world and a Heavenly Realm could exist was precisely because they were born amidst the fierce turbulence of the Void.
Otherwise, if the entire cosmic expanse's Void were as calm as water, there would not be so many worlds in existence.
"Perhaps... I should pay a visit to Xunmu and ask for some more Xunmu Essence..."
A sudden thought flashed through Chen Mu's mind.
After comprehending the rudimentary form of the Void Dao, he had gained a general understanding of the vast Void beyond the world, forming a mental image.
The Void was turbulent.
In the vicinity of the Great Xuan world, there were numerous small and medium-sized Heavenly Realms that existed in dependence on the Great Xuan world.
Xunmu was rooted in one of these Heavenly Realms, where he had established the Xunmu Heavenly Realm. However, the Xunmu Heavenly Realm was located at a considerable distance from the Great Xuan world, and it would only approach the Great Xuan world every hundred years during the Void tides.
Currently,
The Great Xuan world was facing the crisis of a Demonic invasion.
If the Great Xuan world were to be completely occupied by the demons, the Xunmu Heavenly Realm would likely not be able to escape.
Although Xunmu was a Divine Realm being, it was evident that he did not possess control over the Void, otherwise, he would not have made a pact with Chen Mu, hoping that Chen Mu would send him back to his homeland in the future.
Clearly, Xunmu had difficulty surviving in the Void and could only take root in a relatively calm area near the Great Xuan world, where he established a Heavenly Realm and even fell into a deep slumber.
Furthermore, it was apparent that Xunmu's level in the Divine Realm was not particularly high, and he might not be able to withstand the might of the demons.
If Xunmu could provide Chen Mu with another Crimson Birth Fruit or refine a more refined Xunmu Essence for him, it would undoubtedly satisfy his resource needs with ease.
Although this would create more karmic ties between them, at this critical juncture, karmic ties were not of great concern. After all, they were both facing the threat of the demons, and besides, as the saying goes, 'A few more debts won't hurt.' Chen Mu already had a pact with Xunmu, and a few more promises wouldn't make much difference.
However, all of this was predicated on his ability to cross a section of the void and locate the position of Xunmu Heavenly Realm.
In the 1619th book, the correct version was clearly visible!
"Let's give it a try."
As soon as this thought crossed Chen Mu's mind, he took action.
He took a step forward, leaving the Seven Profound Sect without a sound and heading towards the outer sea.
In just a moment, he traversed over twenty thousand miles and arrived at the location of the Primordial Sea, which was once connected to Xunmu Heavenly Realm.
Crack! Chen Mu stood on the sea, glanced around, and then took a step forward, directly shattering the void and entering the turbulent void outside the Great Xuan Realm.
Even after cultivating the Immortal Soul, he still felt immense pressure when entering the void turbulence, and he couldn't travel very far within the void.
It was like a tall person who could barely stand in the shallow water near the shore, but once they ventured deeper, they would be quickly submerged and drowned.
But now, things were different.
He had grasped the rudimentary form of the Void Dao.
Within the void, Chen Mu not only felt no pressure but also experienced a sense of being at ease, like a fish in water.
At this moment, he gazed into the boundless darkness, and his heart was no longer filled with fear of the void and the unknown.
"Let's see how far I can go."
With this thought, Chen Mu continued forward in the void.
One step,
Two steps,
Three steps,
...
The spatial concept within the void turbulence was different from the Great Xuan World, with a structure that was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.
It was like the back side of the world.
After walking for a while, Chen Mu turned back and saw the entire Great Xuan World.
There was an extremely vast and gigantic white light cluster, lying across the boundless void, seemingly possessing supreme power, and the nearby void was incredibly calm.
Additionally,
Chen Mu could also see numerous small light clusters, like stars, surrounding the Great Xuan World. These small light clusters were minuscule compared to the Great Xuan World, almost insignificant.
Standing in the void, overlooking the entire Great Xuan World, Chen Mu's heart was filled with a grand and magnificent emotion, and many mysteries about the void continued to flood into his heart.
However, Chen Mu didn't immerse himself in this enlightenment and emotion for long. After taking a deep look at the Great Xuan World, he turned around and continued walking towards the pitch-black and boundless depths of the void.
One step,
Two steps,
Three steps,
...
Chen Mu didn't know how far he had walked in the void, but he realized that as he ventured further, the light cluster of the Great Xuan World gradually became smaller.
At the same time, as the light cluster of the Great Xuan World became more distant, the void energy flowing nearby gradually intensified, and Chen Mu also began to feel the pressure.
"Did I take the wrong direction?"
Chen Mu furrowed his brows slightly, stopped, and looked into the distance, but all he could see was a vast and dim area, empty and devoid of any objects.
Behind him, the Great Xuan World, which was once vast and immense, had shrunk to the size of a fist, and its light had also dimmed significantly.
Walking in the void felt completely different from walking in the Great Xuan World.
In the Great Xuan World, his soul could merge with heaven and earth, sensing the world tens of thousands of miles away. But here, his soul could only extend a few hundred zhang in the void.
If he ventured too far and lost his sense of direction, it would be normal to get lost in this chaotic void turbulence.
However, now that he had cultivated the rudimentary form of the Void Dao, even if he lost his bearings, as long as he remained in this general area, he could at least discern which direction in the void was more stable.
This vast area of the void was centered around the Great Xuan World, and the closer one got to the Great Xuan, the more stable the void became.
By heading towards the more stable void, he could return to the Great Xuan World.
But if he ventured too far, it would eventually become unsafe.
Soon,
Chen Mu made a decision. He would walk a little further, and if he still couldn't find Xunmu Heavenly Realm, he would immediately return.
As if in response to Chen Mu's thoughts, just as he walked a short distance further into the void, a minuscule light point appeared at the end of his line of sight!
