Chapter 564: Returning to Xun Mu
Chapter 564: Returning to Xun Mu
"As expected, after entering the Divine Realm, I can further my understanding of the Primordial Dao."
Chen observed the changes on his system panel, and as he anticipated, there was no surprise in his heart.
Upon achieving true divinity, he came to understand why Primordial Entry Dao was considered the pinnacle below the Divine Realm. Although the power of the Primordial Dao serves as a framework, it still requires a vessel to manifest.
Before entering the Divine Realm, he could summon the Void Entry Dao with a single thought, harnessing the vast Void Force to empower himself. However, controlling this force relied on the foundation of his soul and will.
Even the most powerful mortal souls, despite reaching the limits of mortals, could only cultivate an immortal soul. They lacked the true Divine Realm state, where a single thought could manifest a thousand distinct intentions.
Upon entering the Divine Realm, the soul, will, and body unite harmoniously, resulting in an immeasurable increase in control. If the Divine Energy Incarnation is a hundred times stronger than the previous soul and body, then the control it exerts is enhanced by thousands to tens of thousands of times!
Imagine,
Every fundamental unit of Divine Energy can be divided into individual consciousnesses, each capable of manipulating a portion of the Void Force. This level of detailed control is far beyond the capabilities of mortal flesh.
For this reason, only by entering the Divine Realm can one further grasp the power of the Primordial Dao.
Chen Mu attempts to enhance his understanding of the Void Dao.
He initially thought the system panel would directly indicate the required experience points, as it had done for his previous cultivation of martial arts. However, the panel displayed a slight change that caught him off guard.
Buzz!
A golden light flashed, and the section related to the Void Dao was magnified, presenting a golden path before him. As it extended forward, it eventually split into five completely distinct branches at its end.
With a single glance, Chen Mu understood that these five branches undoubtedly corresponded to the five fundamental mysteries of the Void Dao.
The fundamental mysteries of the Void Dao, compared to the Creation Dao, are incredibly challenging to describe in a way that mortals can comprehend. Each mystery is profoundly complex, and although Chen Mu can now glimpse a fraction of it, it's merely the tip of the iceberg. To truly fathom these mysteries, a typical Divine Realm cultivator would require an unimaginable amount of time.
Of course.
If one were to use simple terms to describe these five fundamental mysteries, they could be roughly summarized as Division, Aggregation, Extension, Overlap, and Infinity.
Each mystery, when fully understood, significantly enhances one's control over the Void Force.
However, comprehending these fundamental mysteries is not the limit. Even understanding all five mysteries does not lead to a true connection with the Void Dao; there is still a vast distance to be bridged, and that distance is fusion.
After understanding the five fundamental mysteries, one must then be able to merge them.
When one comprehends any two fundamental mysteries and can fully fuse them, they will receive further recognition on the Primordial Void Dao, similar to 'Dao Attainment'. This fusion grants access to more profound abilities of the Void Dao.
By completely merging all five,
One can thoroughly comprehend a Primordial Dao!
They will become a supreme Venerable One in the vast universe, a Void Venerable upon understanding the Void Dao, a Creation Venerable upon comprehending the Creation Dao, and a Time Venerable upon grasping the Time Dao.
On this cultivation path, merging fundamental mysteries is often far more challenging than comprehending them.
Understanding two fundamental mysteries does not guarantee the ability to fuse them. Many Divine Realm beings can comprehend all five mysteries within a single path but still struggle to merge any two of them.
According to Chen Mu's knowledge, this might be the threshold for breaking through the Seventh Tier Heaven and entering the Divine Lord realm.
Although understanding each additional mystery significantly enhances one's strength, as there is no hierarchy among the mysteries, the improvement is consistent. Even with all five mysteries understood, there is no qualitative change.
Of course,
This is just Chen Mu's speculation. To verify if it's accurate, he needs to seek insights from Xun Mu. However, based on his current understanding, perspective, and available information, his deduction is likely correct.
Comprehending all the fundamental mysteries and possessing powerful Divine Armaments and Divine Power Secret Arts, a typical Divine Realm cultivator should be able to reach the peak of the Sixth Tier Heaven. Still, surpassing the Seventh Tier Heaven remains a formidable challenge.
If breaking through the Fourth Heaven is already this difficult, the Seventh Heaven is even more so. This is why there is such a distinct difference in status.
"To comprehend a fundamental mystery, one needs ten thousand experience points."
Chen Mu attempted to activate one of the branches on the system panel, and a prompt appeared.
Understanding the Void Entry Dao requires only three thousand experience points, but comprehending any fundamental mystery demands a full ten thousand. Moreover, this is just for understanding, not including fusion.
One hundred and ten points.
Not too much, nor too little.
Previously, he was able to quickly comprehend Void Entry Dao, accumulating sufficient experience, relying on a damaged Void Divine Armament to aid his enlightenment. Although the Divine Armament was broken, it still contained relatively complete Dao Attainment-level array patterns.
But now, standing at the level of Void Entry Dao, even when contemplating the complete Void Dao Divine Armament Flying Spike in his hand, the experience gained was meager. What he needed was a higher level of Void mysteries to aid his enlightenment.
"Let's give it a try."
After a brief ponder, Chen Mu sat cross-legged in the void, attempting to comprehend the essence of the void.
For him now, it was better to directly comprehend the essence of the void rather than the Flying Spike in his hand. After all, he could already directly perceive the fourth layer of the void, which belonged to the middle layer, containing deeper mysteries than those within the lower-rank Divine Armament.
This attempt at enlightenment didn't last long either.
In just a few days, Chen Mu regained his senses.
He checked his system panel again.
【Primordial Dao: Void (Dao Attainment)】
【Experience: 114 points】
"After four or five days of contemplation, I've only gained one point of experience?"
Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head as he observed the changes on the system panel.
The previous experience of over a hundred points was probably gained when he was breaking through to the Divine Realm, where he directly faced the Primordial Void and caught a glimpse of the source of the Void Path. Unfortunately, it was just a fleeting glance, and he didn't have time to contemplate it in detail.
"If only I could directly witness the source of the Void Path."
Chen Mu sighed.
If he could directly comprehend the source of the Void Path, he might accumulate tens of thousands of points of experience in just a few days.
But now, after contemplating in the void for several days, he had only gained a tiny bit of experience. At this rate, it would take over a hundred years to accumulate one hundred thousand points, and comprehending the five fundamental mysteries would be a long process.
Chen Mu was aware that this was unlikely. The source of the Void Path was hidden in the deepest part of the void, beneath the ninth layer, a place even the Vangu Divine Lord who ruled the Vangu Empty Domain would hesitate to approach. It was not a place he was qualified to explore.
Although there was no shortcut for now, Chen Mu's heart remained calm without much turmoil.
A hundred years in the Daxuan Realm was, in fact, only ten epoch years in the Endless Universe. For a Divine Realm being with an almost infinite lifespan, this could be considered a mere snap of the fingers.
Perhaps a casual slumber could span tens or even hundreds of epoch years.
In just a dozen or so epoch years, one could stably comprehend a fundamental mystery, and in a hundred epoch years, one could master all five fundamental mysteries of the Void Path. This efficiency would be terrifying across the entire Endless Universe.
Normally, for a Divine Realm being with a decent Divine Power foundation, comprehending any one of the fundamental mysteries would be enough to break through the Fourth Heaven. But the Fourth Heaven was not an easy hurdle, and many in the Divine Realm couldn't reach it even after a long time.
Only those with a Divine Power foundation of 'nine portions' could start by breaking through the Third Heaven with their Divine Power, and with full strength, they could approach the peak of the Third Heaven. In this situation, with the cultivation of some Divine Power Secret Arts, and a strong enough foundation, they could directly surpass the limits of the Fourth Heaven without needing to comprehend a fundamental mystery.
As for ordinary Divine Realm beings who hadn't reached this standard, it would be difficult to bypass the fundamental mysteries when trying to cross the Fourth Heaven.
This time, Chen Mu did not conceal his aura, and from a great distance, he released a divine realm aura, simultaneously harnessing the power of the Void Path, causing the surging void tides nearby to calm momentarily. Like a tidal wave, a passage split from the center of the void, and Chen Mu took steps towards it, heading towards Xun Mu's Inner World.
Xun Mu, sensing Chen Mu's divine aura from afar, trembled slightly, its vast crown spanning thousands of miles. A surging life force welled up within, revealing a vigilant posture.
Even this slight movement caused the entire Xun Mu's Inner World to shake, startling countless low-level Spirit People who were flung from the crown of the tree. Some with higher cultivation knelt in fear, bowing repeatedly towards Xun Mu, mistaking the tree's reaction for its anger, and chanting prayers.
"Senior Xun Mu, it's been a long time since we last met."
Chen Mu, having arrived at the vicinity of Xun Mu's Inner World, greeted Xun Mu with a calm demeanor.
"..."
On the massive trunk of Xun Mu's main body, a pair of eyes appeared, fixing on Chen Mu with an examining gaze.
Since Chen Mu had already entered the Divine Realm, Xun Mu could no longer see through Chen Mu's life essence as before. His perception was completely blocked by Chen Mu's Divine Energy Incarnation, making it impossible to immediately confirm Chen Mu's identity.
After all, for a Divine Realm being, appearance and form could be changed at will, and were not reliable features for identification.
Not long ago, Xun Mu had sensed the commotion of a Fourth Heaven True God from the direction of the Great Xuan Realm. Now, he was unclear about the situation, so he remained cautious towards the appearance of 'Chen Mu' in his realm, revealing a Divine Realm level of cultivation.
Upon sensing Xun Mu's scrutiny and caution, Chen Mu was not surprised. He released a hint of the aura of his Life Imprint, which was the only unchangeable mark for Divine Realm beings and the way they confirmed each other's identities.
After perceiving the familiar aura of Chen Mu's Life Imprint, Xun Mu finally relaxed. The surging life force within its massive body calmed, and with a hint of awe in its voice, it said, "Since my birth, I have experienced countless epochs. The last time I saw you was but a blink of an eye ago, and yet, you have quietly taken this most crucial step, standing alongside me at the same level."
It was indeed somewhat unbelievable.
When Xun Mu first met Chen Mu, he was but a tiny life form in Xun Mu's eyes, as insignificant as an ant. It was only because Chen Mu's talent seemed promising, and Xun Mu had no other choice, that he decided to make a deal with Chen Mu, betting on his future potential."
Who could have imagined that within a short period, each time Xun Mu met Chen Mu, he would have made tremendous progress. And now, in just a few epochs, Chen Mu had entered the Divine Realm!
Especially since Chen Mu was born in an undeveloped world, this made it even more unbelievable.
"I have just entered the Divine Realm, and I am still unfamiliar with many things above it. That's why I've come to seek your guidance, Senior Xun Mu."
Chen Mu nodded slightly towards Xun Mu and responded.
Xun Mu acknowledged with a sound, saying, "I thought you would spend more time accumulating and refining before attempting to enter the Divine Realm. However, with the Demon Race's threat looming, it's better that you've entered the Divine Realm earlier."
"You are the first life form from an undeveloped world to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth. You have gained the recognition of the Supreme Law and received a portion of Primordial Power. With your Void Path already taking shape, you have at least four foundations of Divine Energy, which is not a bad starting point. Plus, your comprehension is excellent, so it won't be difficult for you to reach the Fourth Heaven in the future."
In Xun Mu's eyes, Chen Mu, as a life form from an undeveloped world, had managed to comprehend the foundations of the Void Path without guidance, which was indeed impressive. With four foundations of Divine Energy, he started at the level of a Second Heaven True God.
In the future, if he cultivates a decent Divine Power Secret Art and comprehends a fundamental mystery of the Void Path, he will be able to shatter the Fourth Heaven and become a Fourth Heaven True God. At that point, Chen Mu will be considered a formidable cultivator within his realm.
As for crossing different realms, although it will still be challenging, once he reaches that level, there will be hope.
The most crucial point is that since Chen Mu has entered the Divine Realm and cultivates the Void Path, even with just the Second Heaven cultivation, he can at least free himself from the constraints of his birth world. In the vast void, he will have some places to go within the Vangu Empty Domain, and even if he cannot handle the invasion of the Demon Race, he can at least escape with a branch of Xun Mu, avoiding the despair of facing heavenly disasters like an ant.
