Chapter 565: Divine Lord Level Secret Technique
Chapter 565: Divine Lord Level Secret Technique
Upon hearing Xun Mu's words, Chen Mu's heart didn't stir with much emotion. Indeed, in Xun Mu's understanding, for Chen Mu to have four portions of Divine Energy as the foundation for his Divine Realm cultivation within such a short time was already quite remarkable.
In reality, if not for the System Panel greatly accelerating his cultivation progress, the current Chen Mu's attempt at the Divine Realm would also be based on four portions of Divine Energy, creating an immense gap compared to his current state.
The current Chen Mu, possessing a perfect Divine Energy incarnation with ten portions of Divine Energy, relied not only on his own efforts but also on various encounters, including the assistance of the System Panel, all of which were indispensable.
This was an unrepeatable miracle.
"The reason I came here is to inquire, Senior Xun Mu, if you have any Divine Energy secret arts suitable for my cultivation."
Chen Mu didn't hide his intentions and directly expressed his purpose.
Xun Mu paused briefly before replying, "I do have Divine Energy secret arts here, and not just one, but none of them are quite suitable for you."
"Hmm?"
Chen Mu was slightly surprised.
Xun Mu, aware that Chen Mu had risen from an uncultivated world and didn't know much about the realms beyond the Divine Realm, didn't hide the truth. He explained, "Divine Energy secret arts utilize the power of the Primordial Path to temper one's Divine Energy. Since there are three types of Primordial Paths—Void, Creation, and Time—there are also three major categories of Divine Energy secret arts, corresponding to these three paths."
"Furthermore, each Primordial Path has several fundamental mystery branches. By harnessing any one of these branches, different Divine Energy secret arts can be created. Thus, under each major category, there are numerous subcategories."
"All living beings, before entering the Divine Realm, will try to cultivate as many Primordial Paths as possible to enrich their foundation. However, after entering the Divine Realm, they often specialize in one path. Although the power of different Primordial Paths can be compatible, the same might not be true for different Divine Energy secret arts."
With this simple explanation, Xun Mu completely unveiled the path of Divine Energy cultivation for Chen Mu.
Divine Energy secret arts were also based on the Primordial Path, which explained why the Primordial Path was the most crucial aspect of the Divine Realm. Many powerful Divine Energy secret arts couldn't be cultivated without comprehending the corresponding Primordial Path to a certain extent.
"You are cultivating the Void lineage, and the foundation you've cultivated is also a prototype of the Void Path. Therefore, the Divine Energy secret arts suitable for you are also from the Void lineage. Although I have several Divine Energy secret arts here, they all belong to the Creation lineage."
Xun Mu looked at Chen Mu and said, "Moreover, I don't recommend you switch to the Creation lineage. After all, your talent in the Void lineage is obviously superior to the other two. The path to the Divine Realm requires specialization in one lineage. If you can comprehend all five fundamental mysteries of the Void lineage and even integrate them, you can cultivate the Divine Energy secret art to a higher level. You can also achieve the position of a Divine Lord!"
This statement further confirmed Chen Mu's judgment.
The reason why it was so challenging to transcend the Seventh Tier Heaven and the gap between the Sixth and Seventh Tier Heavens was not only due to the differences brought about by the integration of mysteries but also because of the more profound Divine Energy secret arts that could be cultivated after the integration of mysteries!
First, the integration of mysteries significantly enhanced the power of the Primordial Path. Second, after the integration of mysteries, one could gain further recognition from the Primordial Path and harness even more massive Primordial Path power, which was another level of improvement. Lastly, with a higher level of Primordial Path cultivation, one could cultivate more profound Divine Energy secret arts, leading to a significant transformation in one's Divine Energy.
Only by combining these numerous changes could one overcome the barrier between the Sixth and Seventh Tier Heavens!
After listening to Xun Mu's words, Chen Mu fell into deep thought. After a moment of contemplation, he raised his right hand and said to Xun Mu, "Senior Xun Mu, to be honest, I have also stepped into the Creation Path."
Whoosh.
As Chen Mu finished speaking, a thick Creation Force instantly appeared in his palm, swirling around his fingertips and spreading a vibrant vitality throughout the void.
"This..."
Xun Mu, seeing the strand of Creation Force in Chen Mu's hand, was first taken aback and then showed a look of disbelief.
Although the Creation Force Chen Mu displayed wasn't particularly powerful, and his control over it wasn't exceptionally profound, it even seemed rough to him, as he had personally witnessed the techniques of the Creation Divine Lord and was himself a creation of the Creation Divine Lord. Still, he was astonished because Chen Mu's state clearly indicated that he had attained the Creation Dao.
Chen Mu,
When did he cultivate the Creation Path?
Moreover, the Creation Path had surpassed the Void Path that Chen Mu had previously cultivated, transcending the embryonic stage!
No,
No,
Chen Mu had made a promise with him, and although that promise was only verbal, his true body was a Creation Divine Lord, and the promise was entangled with immense cause and effect. If Chen Mu didn't focus on the Void lineage and switched to the Creation lineage, he would bear significant cause and effect and might even fail to achieve godhood.
Chen Mu, however, showed no signs of being hindered, and now he has completely ascended to the Divine Realm, which can only mean one thing: Chen Mu did not break his promise and still primarily cultivates the Void Path, with the Creation Path as a secondary focus.
Xun Mu's gaze towards Chen Mu carried an added hint of disbelief as he considered this.
If Chen Mu could attain Dao Attainment with the Creation Path as a secondary focus, then his progress in the Void Path would undoubtedly be no less impressive, and he would have undoubtedly reached the Dao Attainment level as well!
Void Entry Dao!
Creation Entry Dao!
If Chen Mu had achieved this level before even stepping into the Divine Realm, then just how terrifying must he be now? Judging by this, it seems Chen Mu possesses at least seven or more Divine Power foundations. Furthermore, the number of foundations is secondary to the fact that Chen Mu, a life form from a world yet to undergo Creation, has managed to comprehend two Primordial Dao Attainments in a short time without any guidance from higher-tier Divine Realm beings. This is truly astonishing!
In an instant, Xun Mu's mind even entertained the thought that Chen Mu might be the reincarnation of an ancient Divine Realm being.
But he quickly dismissed this possibility.
The crude methods and realms Chen Mu had previously displayed did not resemble those of a reincarnated ancient Divine Realm being. Moreover, reincarnation is not an easy feat; it's not as simple as infusing a bit of Divine Power into a random world and going through the process of birth.
Doing so would only create an ordinary External Avatar.
To reincarnate, one must completely dismantle their Divine Energy Incarnation, erase all traces of their existence in the world, and retain only a tiny Life Imprint as a foundation. Then, by entering the Creation Primordial Dao, one can reincarnate. After reincarnation, not only will one retain the memories of their past life, but their very life essence will change, and everything will start anew, severing all cause and effect from the previous life.
Xun Mu had heard about reincarnation from the Creation Divine Lord who created him. To achieve this, one must start with the ability to shatter the Ninth Heaven and directly face the Primordial Dao. Furthermore, it must be a life form from the Creation lineage.
This is actually the ultimate life-saving method for Divine Realm beings from the Creation lineage who have cultivated to the Ninth Heaven.
Could Chen Mu be the reincarnation of a Creation Ninth Heaven Peak Divine Lord?
This seems unlikely.
If that were the case, Chen Mu wouldn't need to seek Divine Energy Secret Arts from Xun Mu.
Xun Mu, having witnessed the vast world and encountered more than one Divine Lord, quickly recovered from his initial shock. "Since you possess the foundation for Creation Entry Dao, you can indeed cultivate the Creation lineage Divine Energy Secret Arts here, and they would suit you very well."
Xun Mu's eyes held a complex expression as he looked at Chen Mu.
He no longer mentioned Chen Mu's primary focus on the Void Path, as Chen Mu's displayed talent was simply too astonishing. In this situation, as long as Chen Mu advanced swiftly on the path to the Divine Realm, there would be countless ways for him to fulfill his wish of returning home.
Even if he primarily cultivated the Creation Path, it wouldn't be a problem. At this moment, Xun Mu actually hoped that Chen Mu would focus on the Creation Path, because as a Divine Lord's creation, he possessed a Divine Lord Level Secret Technique!
If Chen Mu had seven or more Divine Power foundations and cultivated the Creation lineage's Divine Lord Level Secret Technique, his progress would be incredibly rapid. Reaching the Fourth Heaven would be a simple task, and in the future, he could even reach the Sixth Heaven in a short time.
Although the threshold of a Divine Lord is not easily crossed, reaching the Sixth Heaven would still provide many ways to send Chen Mu back to his homeland. It's not necessary to rely on the Void Path; there are other means to achieve this.
In a book, one can find the truth.
"The value of a Divine Energy Secret Art must be extraordinary. If you have any needs, Senior, please feel free to ask." Chen Mu spoke directly to Xun Mu.
Now, facing Xun Mu, Chen Mu was composed and no longer needed to hide his strength. Revealing his Creation Entry Dao level was simply to make it easier to obtain the Divine Energy Secret Art from Xun Mu.
Xun Mu stared at Chen Mu for a long time before finally saying, "Divine Energy Secret Arts also have varying levels, and the higher the level, the greater the boost to Divine Energy upon cultivation. I have three Secret Arts here, all from the Creation lineage. The first two are rather ordinary and common in the Divine Realm, and they aren't of much value. I can give them to you directly, but as for the last one..."
Xun Mu paused for a moment, as if in contemplation, but eventually, he continued, "This third Secret Art is called Spirit Birth Divine Technique, created by my master, Jianmu Divine Lord. It is a Divine Lord Level Secret Technique, the highest level among the Secret Arts here. But without my master's permission, I cannot pass it on."
"My master encountered a formidable foe long ago, and his fate remains unknown. Given your exceptional talent and aptitude, my master would undoubtedly be willing to impart his secret technique to you. Therefore, if you are willing to become my master's disciple, I can accept you as a disciple on his behalf and teach you this Spirit Birth Divine Technique."
These words were the result of Xun Mu's careful consideration.
Xun Mu had once supported Jianmu Divine Lord's Inner World and bore the responsibility of observing all living beings within Jianmu Divine Lord's realm. He would recommend some of the most brilliant and radiant spirits to Jianmu Divine Lord, who would then select and accept them as disciples.
With Chen Mu's talent and aptitude, ascending to the Sixth Tier Heaven would be effortless, and there was a significant possibility of him achieving the Divine Lord position. If Jianmu Divine Lord were here, he would likely accept Chen Mu as his personal disciple without hesitation. However, Xun Mu did not have the authority to accept personal disciples on Jianmu Divine Lord's behalf; he could only accept disciples in his master's name.
Additionally, Xun Mu was deeply concerned about Jianmu Divine Lord's current situation.
Jianmu Divine Lord was a revered Divine Lord, and if he were unharmed, finding him, even across the endless void, wouldn't be difficult. He should have already started to gather the scattered fragments of his Inner World.
However, Jianmu Divine Lord had not been heard from since, and there were only three possible explanations for this. First, Jianmu Divine Lord could have encountered a formidable foe and suffered severe injuries, and he might be hiding somewhere, recuperating from his wounds.
Second, the intense battle could still be ongoing, and Jianmu Divine Lord might still be engaged in a fierce fight. This was not unusual, as battles at the Divine Lord level could last for hundreds of interface years without raising suspicion. Moreover, Jianmu Divine Lord was a Creation Divine Lord who had nearly reached the peak of the Seventh Tier Heaven. Even a Divine Lord like Vangu, who stood at the apex of the Eighth Tier Heaven, would require a considerable amount of time to vanquish Jianmu Divine Lord, let alone destroy his Divine Energy Incarnation.
As for the third possibility...
Jianmu Divine Lord might have already perished!
Xun Mu had considered this scenario, but he believed it to be the least likely of the three. After all, Jianmu Divine Lord belonged to the Creation lineage, having merged with the fundamental mysteries of 'Life' and 'Ten Thousand Spirits'. His survival abilities were among the best within the Creation lineage. Even if multiple Divine Lords of the Eighth Tier Heaven joined forces to attack him, it would not be easy to kill Jianmu Divine Lord, unless a Divine Lord from the Ninth Tier Heaven intervened, which was slightly more plausible.
However, Divine Lords of the Ninth Tier Heaven were almost at the pinnacle of the Endless Universe, second only to the Venerables in power. Their goals often revolved around the path to becoming a Venerable. Jianmu Divine Lord, on the other hand, was a reclusive figure who preferred to stay within his realm, researching life and spirituality. Xun Mu could not fathom how Jianmu Divine Lord might have offended a Divine Lord of the Ninth Tier Heaven.
Therefore,
Jianmu Divine Lord's current situation was either one of entrapment or an ongoing arduous battle.
In this situation, Xun Mu attempted to connect Chen Mu with Jianmu Divine Lord by offering to teach Chen Mu the Spirit Birth Divine Technique in Jianmu Divine Lord's name. This would create a connection between Chen Mu and Jianmu Divine Lord, and if Chen Mu were to eventually attain the Divine Lord position, he could naturally assist Jianmu Divine Lord in the future.
Of course, this was a distant prospect, and by then, Jianmu Divine Lord might have already overcome his predicament. However, having the opportunity to gain a disciple at the Divine Lord level was a rare and valuable asset. By then, Jianmu Divine Lord's enemies might think twice before daring to offend him.
"A Divine Lord-level secret technique..."
Upon hearing Xun Mu's words, Chen Mu's expression turned pensive.
Xun Mu had made his decision and spoke with sincerity, "With your talent and foundation, it would be easy for you to become a disciple of a Divine Lord. If you wish to learn a Divine Lord-level secret technique, not only can you choose freely, but it would also be achievable. I merely want to accept you as a disciple in my master's name and teach you this technique. Being a disciple in name will not impose any significant restrictions on you, and there won't be any major karmic entanglements. If you wish to become a disciple of Vangu Divine Lord in the future, you are free to do so."
Xun Mu's words were genuinely honest. He saw in Chen Mu not only the hope of returning to his homeland but also a potential helper for his master, Jianmu Divine Lord. Xun Mu merely wanted Chen Mu to inherit a portion of Jianmu Divine Lord's grace.
