Chapter 523: Transformation
Chapter 523: Transformation
Body Merging with Void.
When Chen Mu finally reached this level, his will also ascended along with the Void Primal Path. In the past, although he had achieved the Heaven Man level and even his Soul Essence and Physique had broken through to the Immortal Realm, reaching the edge of the Divine Realm, he had not truly stepped into the Divine Realm.
Therefore, his Soul Essence and Physique, in essence, were still bound within this world, unable to escape the constraints of the Heaven and Earth.
However, after mastering the Void Dao and being acknowledged by the Void Primal Path, his will was no longer bound by this world. He could transcend the boundaries of Heaven and Earth and directly connect with the Void Dao.
He could finally directly sense the Will of Heaven and Earth of the Great Xuan World!
It was a will devoid of emotion, akin to the rules themselves, operating without sentiment. For Chen Mu’s will to transcend the boundaries of Heaven and Earth and directly communicate with the Void Primal Path, there was no reaction, as if it were all within the scope of the rules.
Buzz!
Chen Mu's mind slightly stirred.
In an instant, the power of the Void Dao spread out according to his will.
One hundred feet,
Two hundred feet,
Three hundred feet,
...
His will silently spread throughout the world, covering the entire forbidden area of the Seven Profound Sect, encompassing mountain after mountain, until it extended beyond the rear mountains of the Seven Profound Sect, covering more than a hundred Blood Transformation Realm cultivators who were studying the Primordial Chart.
At this moment,
All the Blood Transformation Realm cultivators and even Heaven Man experts who were studying the Primordial Chart suddenly awoke from their deep contemplation, all showing looks of surprise.
This included Yin Heng, Qin Mengjun, and even the Heaven Lake Island Master, an unparalleled Heaven Man!
Everyone was shocked because they suddenly found that they could no longer sense the Heavenly-Earth Dao!
Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire,
Heavenly-Earth Mountains and Lakes,
Yin-Yang and Five Elements,
...
All the Dao principles that originated from Heaven and Earth were cut off in an instant. All the Blood Transformation Realm cultivators could no longer connect with Heaven and Earth, and even the Heaven Lake Island Master, a Heaven Man, could no longer achieve Heaven-Human Unity!
Everyone felt as if they had been suddenly cast down to the ground, falling from the heavens, and had become ordinary mortals.
Whoosh.
This strange sense of isolation from the world did not last long and soon vanished without a trace. The Blood Transformation Realm cultivators in the numerous valleys quickly regained their connection to the Heavenly-Earth Dao, but the entire valley was in an uproar, quickly boiling over as countless people looked at each other in shock, unsure of what had happened.
Some even had their faces pale with fear, thinking of the worst.
"Could it be that the Demon Tribulation has arrived?"
Those present were all top-tier experts standing at the pinnacle of the world, their cultivation paths encompassing almost all Martial Dao principles in the world. However, they were completely cut off from the Heavenly-Earth Dao and could no longer mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth.
There were many formations in the world that could seal off the power of Heaven and Earth, but none could completely isolate and fundamentally cut off the power of Heaven and Earth, as if another will had forcibly rewritten the rules of this world!
Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun also showed signs of alarm.
As the hosts of the Seven Profound Sect, although they were not Heaven Men, they stood at the forefront among the Blood Transformation Realm cultivators, alongside several Heaven Man experts, studying the Primordial Chart. At this moment, Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other’s eyes.
But.
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed through the valley.
"There is no need to panic."
The voice was very calm, and Qin Mengjun and Yin Heng immediately recognized who it was. The Heaven Lake Island Master and the other Heaven Men, along with many Blood Transformation Realm cultivators, also paused in their actions, all recognizing the voice.
The Martial Saint, Chen Mu!
"Just now, I had a profound insight into Martial Dao, momentarily losing myself, but it was not the arrival of the Demon Tribulation."
Chen Mu’s gentle voice echoed through the valley, quickly calming the chaos. Many Blood Transformation Realm cultivators looked up at the sky, their faces showing relief but also shock.
Insight into Martial Dao?
Losing oneself?
What Martial Dao had Chen Mu comprehended that could instantly cover the entire valley, isolating the power of Heaven and Earth, making hundreds of Blood Transformation Realm cultivators and even Heaven Man experts unable to connect with Heaven and Earth?!
It was well-known that compared to Blood Transformation Realm cultivators, Heaven Man experts were only stronger in their ability to connect with Heaven and Earth and achieve Heaven-Human Unity. If they were cut off from Heaven and Earth, they would be no different from ordinary Blood Transformation Realm cultivators.
And the inability to restrict Heaven Man experts was almost a consensus.
In this world, while some formations could seal and restrict Blood Transformation Realm experts, it was almost impossible to seal a Heaven Man, as formations also relied on the power of Heaven and Earth. Heaven Man experts could directly merge with Heaven and Earth, and their control over the power of Heaven and Earth far exceeded that of any formation.
"Many of you have been studying the Primordial Chart at the Seven Profound Sect for several years. With the Demon Tribulation approaching and the great calamity of the world, all martial practitioners should unite to resist the external threat... My mastery of the Heaven and Earth Dao and my attainment of the ultimate realm is a continuation of the legacy of past martial sages. In seven days, I will demonstrate the Dao of the changing world in the Seven Profound Valley, contributing to the inheritance of martial arts and fulfilling a duty to the world."
"Any martial artist in the world, as long as they reach the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm and are not evil to the core, can come and witness."
As Chen Mu's voice echoed through the valley, a hush fell over the area.
Chen Mu... was going to impart his martial arts knowledge?
Many Blood Transformation Realm beings, after their initial shock, felt their hearts stir with excitement.
Chen Mu was an unparalleled existence, a Martial Saint revered by all under heaven. He had cultivated martial arts to a realm beyond any predecessor, and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao was undoubtedly superior to that of anyone else in the world.
Chen Mu was about to leave behind his martial arts legacy, an invaluable treasure for any sect or clan. It would undoubtedly be a treasure to protect their legacy, but Chen Mu was going to share his knowledge with the entire martial world!
What an opportunity!
If the demonic disaster was a calamity for this realm, then Chen Mu's imparting of martial arts was undoubtedly an opportunity for the world's martial artists. If not for the threat of the demonic disaster, Chen Mu might have kept his legacy within the Seven Profound Sect.
But now, any martial artist in the world had a chance to witness Chen Mu's lifetime of martial arts cultivation.
Currently, at the Seven Profound Sect, over a hundred Blood Transformation Realm beings had been meditating on the Primordial Chart for years. Among them, some had deeply profound insights into the Heavenly Dao and were just a step away from achieving unity with heaven and humanity.
Even the Blood Transformation Realm beings couldn't help but feel their hearts stir with anticipation. The Bone Marrow Washing Grandmasters outside the valley, numbering in the thousands, were even more delighted.
Although the Primordial Chart was a treasure map of profound insights, it was ultimately just an inanimate object.
Even those who had created the Primordial Chart, if combined, might not have surpassed Chen Mu's current realm. Chen Mu's understanding was more comprehensive and clearer, and what they could comprehend from him was bound to be superior to the Primordial Chart!
Soon, the valley bustled with activity once more.
Numerous Blood Transformation Realm and Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Grandmasters and Supreme Elders left the valley, not because they didn't want to witness Chen Mu's teachings in seven days, but to inform their friends and acquaintances to come as soon as possible.
Inside the Seven Profound Sect's forbidden area, Chen Mu calmed his thoughts and regained his form, merging with the void.
"This is the Void Dao. Wherever it goes, the primal forces of the universe must give way."
Chen Mu looked at the broken Void Dao divine weapon in his hand, recalling how his will had spread throughout the Seven Profound Sect's valley, causing the entire realm to stop functioning, and everything became still.
In the face of true Primordial Dao power, which transcended the boundaries of a single realm, any power confined to a specific realm had little resistance.
The more Chen Mu experienced the might of the Primordial Dao, the more he felt the awe-inspiring strength of the Divine Realm beings. With only a preliminary understanding of the Primordial Dao, he could freeze time and space with a thought. What about those Divine Lords who had broken through the Seven Heavens?
What about the Venerables who had completely mastered a type of Primordial Dao?
In the face of such beings, he might be as insignificant as these Blood Transformation Realm and Heaven Human beings were to him.
Having cultivated the Void Dao to the point of enlightenment and possessing the strength of the Lower Divine Tier Eight, Chen Mu felt no sense of self-satisfaction or arrogance. He knew that his achievements were insignificant compared to the Divine Realm, merely the beginning of the journey.
"Huff..."
Chen Mu exhaled and summoned the system panel once more.
He wanted to test if he could further his understanding of the Void Dao before entering the Divine Realm, but as expected, the system panel indicated insufficient conditions, not a lack of experience. It seemed that what Xunmu had said was true: it was impossible to comprehend the fundamental mysteries of the Void Dao before entering the Divine Realm and cultivating the Divine Body.
"Next, it's time to explore the other Primordial Daos."
Chen Mu stood there, speaking to himself.
In the 1619th chapter, you'll see that this is the correct version!
Before that, he finally had some time to organize the legacy of the Heaven-Earth Primordial Dao for the martial artists of the world to cultivate.
Although Chen Mu, in his current state, could enter the Divine Realm and break free from the constraints of this realm, he didn't need to worry about the cause and effect within this world. He could 'prove the Dao with strength,' but he had always been clear about cause and effect. He had inherited the causes of countless martial arts sages, so he would impart his martial arts to repay the fruit of martial arts.
...
The news that Martial Saint Chen Mu would impart the Heavenly Dao and his martial arts legacy to the world spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Great Xuan World within a day.
Many martial artists who hadn't gone to the Seven Profound Sect to meditate on the Primordial Chart or those who had temporarily left the sect for various reasons, upon hearing this news, immediately dropped everything and rushed to the Seven Profound Sect.
The news didn't stop at the Great Xuan World; it quickly reached the Outer Sea as well.
At the Tide Listening Cliffs,
The Pure Sea Palace,
The Endless Sea Pavilion,
The three great sects of the Outer Sea were shaken by the news!
Within half a day, the three sects were in motion. The Blood Transformation Realm beings from these sects, accompanied by numerous Bone Marrow Washing Elders, traveled from the Outer Sea to the Great Xuan World, heading towards the Seven Profound Sect.
(End of Chapter)
If it were in the past, before Chen Mu visited the Three Great Sects of the Outer Sea, perhaps only Tide Listening Cliffs would lead the crowd to the Central Lands. But before Chen Mu's journey, the three sects were also aware of the impending demonic disaster, and this world had reached a critical moment.
Chen Mu's preaching to the world was undoubtedly a great opportunity for countless martial artists to glimpse a higher realm.
It was an opportunity not to be missed.
Just as the world's martial artists gathered towards Yu Prefecture, with Seven Profound Sect as their destination, two figures were leisurely climbing the Cloud Veil Heavenly Peak in Bi Prefecture, surrounded by swirling clouds.
One of them was Chen Mu, and the other, a petite figure beside him, was his daughter, Chen Yao, a young girl with a slightly shy expression but already possessing a captivating beauty that could enchant fish and birds.
Having cultivated the Void Dao to the point of enlightenment and announcing it to the world, Chen Mu, instead of immediately practicing the Time and Creation Dao, spent these days accompanying Xu Hongyu and Xiao He in Yu Prefecture. Today, he brought Chen Yao along, retracing his steps up the Cloud Veil Heavenly Peak.
"Look, this is the place."
Holding Chen Yao's small hand, Chen Mu climbed step by step, even though it wasn't the ideal time to ascend the peak. But the vast Heavenly Power was as gentle as a lamb before Chen Mu, and the cold climate that could freeze an ordinary person solid didn't affect them in the slightest.
"It was here that I fought against the geniuses of the eleven states of the Cold North, and climbed to the top of the Cloud Veil Heavenly Peak. At that time, although I had some reputation in Yu Jun, in the vast Yu Prefecture, and even in the vast Cold North, I was still insignificant. It was only after that day that I truly made a name for myself."
"Ten years from now, you will come to this Cloud Veil Heavenly Peak alone, and climb to the top with your own abilities."
Chen Mu stepped over the mountain's stone stairs, pointing towards the peak of the Cloud Veil Heavenly Peak, and spoke softly to Chen Yao by his side, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
Accompanying Chen Yao on a tour of Yu Prefecture and retracing his own path wasn't just to spend time with her. It was also to calm his own mind. Although his mental state and soul level were already high, he had been trapped in the Void during his enlightenment, enduring thousands of years.
Such a long period of time, even if it was only on a conscious level, couldn't help but leave an impact on him, causing him to feel a sense of detachment from this world, and even from those closest to him, like Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, and Xiao He.
Chen Mu was well aware that this was inevitable.
Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, and Xiao He, if they couldn't reach the Divine Realm, would eventually turn to dust and leave the mortal world. Meanwhile, he would ascend to the immortal path of the Divine Realm, where thousands of years would pass like a fleeting moment.
This time, it was only his consciousness that had experienced thousands of years of enlightenment in the Void. If he truly lived through thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, all his acquaintances would vanish in the flow of time, leaving no trace of their existence. He didn't know how his heart would change then, and didn't want to forget everything from the past, reducing all his experiences to insignificance. He sought the eternity of his mental state.
But that was too difficult.
Even a calm and untroubled mind, free of regrets, couldn't remain unchanged as time passed.
Chen Mu couldn't help but think of that dead void.
If the Void represented the endless universe and the ultimate destination of all things, leading to silence, then what did Time represent? Was it a witness to the evolution of the cosmos?
All things originated from the Void and returned to it, and everything in between was Creation, while Time bore witness.
Although the Path of Time was one of his goals, Chen Mu now craved the power of the Time Dao even more. He hoped to find satisfying answers within the Primordial Path of Time.
"..."
Chen Yao stood quietly beside Chen Mu, seeing him standing still, lost in thought. She was well-behaved and didn't disturb him, just blinking at the peak of the Cloud Veil Heavenly Peak.
From what she had heard, she knew Chen Mu was an extraordinary genius, rising from humble beginnings to become a Martial Saint. But it was only by following in his footsteps that she truly understood the hardships he had endured, which were no easy feat.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Ice Province."
Chen Mu quickly gathered his thoughts and spoke to Chen Yao.
"Okay."
Chen Yao nodded obediently.
She followed Chen Mu to the edge of the cliff, and after a few steps, they disappeared from the Cloud Veil Heavenly Peak, leaving behind footprints soon covered by mountain snow, erasing their traces.
No one knew that Martial Saint Chen Mu had once returned to the Cloud Veil Heavenly Peak in Bi Prefecture with his daughter.
