Chapter 519: Attaining the Immortal Body!
Chapter 519: Attaining the Immortal Body!
The Forbidden Grounds of the Seven Profound Sect.
Chen Mu's figure silently materialized, and he strode into the deepest valley of the forbidden area.
On his journey back from Xunmu Heavenly Realm, Chen Mu encountered no unexpected events. In fact, the void region between Xunmu Heavenly Realm and the Great Xuan World was still relatively calm and gentle. Only beyond this area would one truly enter the turbulent void tides.
Soon, Chen Mu returned to his secluded retreat.
He took out the Heaven and Earth Flask and gently tilted it, allowing a drop of Spirit Heart Essence to quietly drip out.
"Spirit Heart Essence..."
When Chen Mu obtained this golden divine liquid, he knew it was extraordinary. He could also see that Xunmu had given him a significant amount, at a considerable cost. Even Xunmu's root system and vast canopy withered and disappeared, leaving a desolate area of several hundred li, indicating the great sacrifice it made to provide such a large quantity of Spirit Heart Essence.
If not for the impending Demon Disaster, a significant threat to Xunmu, and Chen Mu's exceptional talent, which amazed Xunmu and gave it hope of returning to its homeland, Xunmu might not have easily offered the Spirit Heart Essence. Even if it did, it would likely only provide a small amount.
In reality, Chen Mu's physique seemed to be quite a distance away from achieving immortality. However, on his System Panel, his experience points were only 500 points short of the final threshold. Once he accumulated enough experience, he could rely on the System Panel to directly enhance himself, taking a giant leap to the final stage of body refinement and attaining the immortal body!
Naturally, Chen Mu wouldn't reveal this to Xunmu. Xunmu had provided him with a substantial amount of Spirit Heart Essence, and he couldn't refuse it, as even if he didn't need it all, Qin Mengjun would surely find use for it in the future.
Moreover, there was also Chen Yue, Xu Hongyu, and even his daughter, Chen Yao, who might need these resources in the future.
According to Xunmu, if Chen Mu could enter the Divine Realm and become the first person to break free from the constraints of the world, he would not only gain an additional portion of divine power upon entering the Divine Realm but also be able to reshape the world to a certain extent with his own will.
The true marker of a world's evolution from its initial 'birth' state to a mature stage is the birth of its first Divine Realm being. After that, it becomes less challenging for others to strive for the Divine Realm. Even if one's soul and physique are not at their absolute peak, as long as they reach a level of perfection, they can still attempt to break through, with a chance of success.
However, if one tries to break into the Divine Realm without perfecting their physique and soul, even if they succeed, they will only be at the bottom of the Divine Realm, with very limited room for future advancement. Reaching the third or fourth heaven would be an almost impossible feat.
Chen Mu carefully examined the drop of Spirit Heart Essence for a moment, then slightly opened his mouth and swallowed it, refining it within his body.
Buzz!
The Spirit Heart Essence was almost like the origin of Xunmu's power, containing an incredibly strong life force. Just this one drop, when spread throughout Chen Mu's body, unleashed a surging and overwhelming spiritual and life force, an immense and unstoppable power. Only with his nearly perfected immortal body could he easily withstand it.
In terms of spiritual and life force alone, this drop of Spirit Heart Essence contained nearly a hundred times more than a regular drop of Xunmu's Spirit Liquid. However, its effects were far greater than just a thousand times more.
Chen Mu's physique had already been tempered to the peak of mortals, and the next step was the true immortal body. Ordinary spiritual medicines would have no effect, and even Xunmu's Spirit Liquid, no matter how much he consumed, would be useless.
But the Spirit Heart Essence was different. Just one drop made Chen Mu truly feel his body transforming!
In other words, even without the System Panel, by slowly absorbing and refining this Spirit Heart Essence, he could eventually refine his physique to perfection and attain the immortal body! Of course, with the System Panel, he could save a lot of time and effort.
After a moment, Chen Mu finished digesting the drop of Spirit Heart Essence and then, with a thought, summoned the System Panel.
【Physique: Blood Refinement (Perfect)】
【Experience: 4,560 points】
Just one drop of Spirit Heart Essence accumulated nearly twenty experience points on the System Panel! In other words, he only needed to refine about thirty more drops to meet the requirements for breaking through.
"It seems Xunmu has truly invested a lot this time."
Chen Mu couldn't help but exclaim as he observed the changes on the System Panel.
Perhaps the value of one or two drops of Spirit Heart Essence was still less than the Crimson Birth Fruit Xunmu had given him before. However, this time, Xunmu had provided him with not just hundreds but thousands of drops, enough to fill a bucket, totaling thirty to forty liters!
Xunmu's generosity had its reasons, as the Demon Disaster posed a significant threat to Xunmu and Chen Mu's talent had amazed Xunmu, giving it hope of returning to its homeland. Still, Chen Mu naturally appreciated Xunmu's kindness and would do his best to assist Xunmu in returning to its homeland.
With a thought, Chen Mu closed the system panel and once again took out a drop of Spirit Heart Essence. He consumed it, continuing the refinement process.
His physique was indeed powerful, and having refined an immense amount of Xunmu Essence in the past, his tolerance for the Spirit Heart Essence was extremely high. Thus, the process of refining thirty drops of the essence encountered almost no obstacles.
After a mere few days, Chen Mu abruptly opened his eyes and looked at the system panel again.
【Physique: Blood Refinement (Perfect)】
【Experience: 10,000 points】
"Finally, it's enough."
Chen Mu's gaze deepened.
Although he had already cultivated the Immortal Soul, comprehended the initial form of the Void Dao, and reached the Lower Divine Tier Six, this final step of Blood Refinement held a completely different significance.
By taking this step, he would cultivate the Immortal Body, not only elevating his strength to Lower Divine Tier Seven but, more importantly, qualifying him to break through to the Divine Realm and shatter the constraints of Heaven and Earth!
Even the threshold of the Divine Realm seemed nonexistent to him.
With both his soul and physique cultivated to the extreme, achieving the Immortal Realm in his current state would be as easy as water flowing into a channel.
Upon entering the Divine Realm, he would truly embark on the path of immortality! Even if this world, the Great Xuan World, were to crumble and decay, he would not perish. His lifespan would become infinite, and he would genuinely possess the qualifications to leave this world and travel through countless universes.
Without further hesitation, Chen Mu took a deep breath, quickly calming his mind, and with a thought, he chose to advance.
Hum!
The system panel glowed with a familiar golden light.
As the light flickered, Chen Mu felt an overwhelming surge of vitality gushing from the deepest part of his flesh, instantly spreading throughout his entire body.
This vitality merged with every drop of his blood, like a burning red iron hammer forging each drop and simultaneously tempering every muscle, bone, and piece of flesh!
At this moment,
Chen Mu could sense a searing, scorching pain emanating from every corner of his body, penetrating into every drop of blood and bone marrow. This pain, enough to kill an ordinary person, couldn't even stir a ripple in Chen Mu's heart.
His mind was calm and tranquil, observing the changes in his body, the tempering of every corner, and the refinement of every drop of blood.
Sizzle.
Every drop of blood was surrounded and tempered by this vigorous vitality, gradually resembling burning flames. The intense golden light could no longer be concealed, slowly seeping through.
At this moment, if one were to look at Chen Mu's body, they would see him transformed into a golden figure, like a golden deity statue in a temple!
Finally.
After an unknown amount of time,
Among the blood refined to the extreme, one drop suddenly reached its limit and quietly broke through to a higher level.
This drop, originally emitting a dazzling golden light like a small sun, now dimmed as it surpassed a certain boundary. All the golden light swiftly converged, eventually no longer radiating, and even the gold within gradually faded, turning into a plain drop of scarlet blood.
This scarlet drop looked no different from ordinary human blood, but Chen Mu could sense the overwhelming vitality within, reaching an almost unbelievable level.
With this one drop, Chen Mu felt that it could grow bones, muscles, organs, and form a complete human body!
This feeling was not an illusion.
"Regeneration from a drop of blood," thought Chen Mu.
After an unknown duration, Chen Mu finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, beneath his skin, a vivid crimson blood flowed, each drop containing an almost unimaginable power. The surging blood seemed like the force of the world coursing through his body!
Skin, muscles, bones, and organs... all of these were no longer important. Within this body, every vital organ had transformed into a refined state, as if they were the product of the concentrated power of heaven and earth. In essence, they were no longer flesh and blood. Whether it was the skull or the heart, every part of his body had become invulnerable. Even if any part were damaged, it could quickly regenerate.
"It's finally done."
Feeling the metamorphosed body and the surging power within, Chen Mu murmured.
At this moment, he could sense not only the power to crush the Great Xuan world's boundary with a snap of his fingers but also the myriad mysterious changes in his body, which was almost indescribable.
Buzz!
Chen Mu stood up, and his face and body began to transform. His muscles and bones grew rapidly, instantly turning him into a three-zhang-tall giant. His head seemed to touch the cave's ceiling, resembling a divine demon. As Chen Mu took a step forward, his muscles and bones quickly retracted, and after this step, his entire body visibly shrank, eventually becoming a diminutive three-chi-tall child.
He took another step forward, and his stature returned to normal, but this time, his physique began to change continuously, shifting from fat to thin and then back to fat. In an instant, he seemed to embody countless forms, like a Buddha with a myriad of manifestations.
Suddenly, Chen Mu halted and slowly raised his arms.
As he gently extended his arms, white feathers sprouted from his fair skin, and within a moment, his arms transformed into slender wings. His entire body had become a majestic golden eagle, resembling an unparalleled celestial demon!
"Blood Rebirth, Thousand Transformations."
Chen Mu marveled at his new body.
Such a body could no longer be considered mortal. He could even detach his head and grow a second identical one, or transform the head in his hand into a rodent that scurried on the ground.
All living beings, whether humans or trees, were born between heaven and earth, transformations of the power of the world. Now that his body had become almost indistinguishable from the essence of heaven and earth, it could also evolve into myriad forms.
Only upon reaching this realm could one truly perceive the essence of all things in the world.
"This boundary..."
Chen Mu felt the boundary of the Great Xuan world again.
The boundary had become more fragile to him. If he didn't consciously restrain himself, even the slightest movement of his body would cause the boundary to tremble. A casual nudge could shatter this world.
However, that was the extent of his power.
He could only break through the boundary of the Great Xuan world and not the true Void.
"Immortal Soul, Immortal Body, and the embryonic form of the Void Dao... In terms of raw power, I've reached the Lower Divine Tier Seven, but I still can't break through the first layer of the Void."
Chen Mu spoke to himself.
When he had sought enlightenment from Xun Mu, he learned that although those at Lower Divine Tier Seven and above could easily break through to the Divine Realm, it was still extremely difficult for them to shatter the Void before truly entering the Divine Realm.
Those at Lower Divine Tier Seven couldn't do it, and even when facing true Divine Realm beings, they were no match, often being overwhelmed in a real fight.
Only by reaching Lower Divine Tier Eight could one fight against a first-tier Divine Realm being, but even then, it would be a close contest, and they would still be outmatched in a true battle.
Below the Divine Realm, only those at Lower Divine Tier Nine could forcibly break through a layer of the Void without having reached the Divine Realm!
The power of Lower Divine Tier Nine was truly comparable to the first tier of the Divine Realm!
However, for those who could reach Lower Divine Tier Nine, breaking through to the Divine Realm was a simple task, as easy as eating or drinking. Moreover, their strength after the breakthrough was exceptionally powerful, and with a bit of cultivation, they could reach the third tier of the Divine Realm, a status far surpassing the ordinary first tier.
The embryonic form of the Origin Dao, along with the Immortal Body and Soul, constituted Lower Divine Tier Seven. Based on this, if one could obtain a corresponding Origin Dao Divine Armament, they would reach Lower Divine Tier Eight.
If one could further refine the embryonic form of the Origin Dao and truly step into that path, they would attain Lower Divine Tier Nine!
This was the ultimate level below the Divine Realm.
Non-Divine beings couldn't grasp the profound mysteries of the Origin Dao, nor could they wield the more advanced Origin Dao Divine Armaments. This was their limit. Typically, those who reached Lower Divine Tier Nine would compete for a spot to imprint a Life Mark in the Origin Site, ensuring a stronger foundation upon entering the Divine Realm.
