Chapter 568: Interface Primordial
Chapter 568: Interface Primordial
Since Xun Mu didn't seem to care about the Spirit People, Chen Mu naturally wouldn't mourn for the other races.
He quickly gathered his thoughts and focused his attention on Xun Mu's main body. With a thought, he harnessed the power of the void and creation, and his divine energy surged within him.
"Rise!" Chen Mu commanded.
In an instant, as he exerted his strength, the towering giant tree that covered the sky began to vibrate in the turbulent void, and the chaotic void tide around it rippled outwards.
Xun Mu did not resist Chen Mu's power but instead pulled out its roots that were embedded in the void, fully cooperating with Chen Mu's burst of strength. After the massive crown of the tree swayed, the colossal body finally began to move slowly.
It was an awe-inspiring scene.
Although Xun Mu was insignificant compared to the vast void, merely a blade of grass in the Primordial Sea, if placed in the Great Xuan World, it would be a colossal entity comparable in size to an entire state—the Heaven-Striking Tree!
This colossal entity was now being moved by Chen Mu's power, slowly advancing in the void. It was a breathtaking sight, almost as if Chen Mu was single-handedly shifting the tectonic plates of an entire continent.
However, Chen Mu himself didn't feel anything extraordinary. He could push Xun Mu forward in the void only because Xun Mu actively cooperated with him. If Xun Mu resisted, it would still be extremely challenging for Chen Mu to move Xun Mu's main body.
Even with Xun Mu's cooperation, all Chen Mu could sense was the immense weight and pressure.
"This main body indeed has its advantages and disadvantages."
Feeling the terrifying life force contained within Xun Mu's massive body, Chen Mu pondered.
Xun Mu's body was essentially life force from the Creation branch, not true divine energy. Therefore, its enormous size couldn't be shrunk or deformed at will and could only remain in this clumsy and heavy state.
But this state also had its advantages; even Xun Mu itself could only unleash a portion of its power. With Xun Mu's roots deeply embedded in the void, even a Fourth Heaven True God would find it difficult to deal with Xun Mu.
Of course, there was another reason why Chen Mu found it so difficult to move Xun Mu. The void was in constant turmoil, experiencing the peak of the void tide's progression. Although this tide was insignificant to Chen Mu, Xun Mu's main body was simply too massive, covering an area spanning thousands of miles.
This meant that Chen Mu was essentially resisting the vast void tide spanning thousands of miles, making it extremely challenging, even though he was exerting himself almost to the fullest. The efficiency of moving Xun Mu was still very slow.
Xun Mu's Inner World was close to the Great Xuan World, and Chen Mu could have arrived there in an instant. However, with Xun Mu in tow, it would take at least a few days to reach the vicinity of the Great Xuan World.
"To have such divine energy even before cultivating divine power secret arts..."
Compared to Chen Mu, Xun Mu's heart was as turbulent as the void tide, filled with emotions.
Xun Mu could sense the power Chen Mu unleashed, using Creation to complement his main body, the void to clear a path, and divine energy to push forward. The most astonishing aspect was Chen Mu's divine energy strength.
For Xun Mu, as a creation of a Divine Lord, he had witnessed the vast might of Divine Lords. From his perspective, Chen Mu's displayed divine energy strength was not impressive.
But the issue was,
Chen Mu had just entered the Divine Realm and hadn't even cultivated any divine power secret arts! To unleash such formidable power with only the initial foundation of divine energy meant that Chen Mu's divine energy foundation was not limited to seven or eight portions. It had reached at least nine portions and possibly... ten portions! At this thought, Xun Mu felt a momentary daze, remembering that when Chen Mu had asked him, he had mentioned that in the Endless Universe, the limit of divine energy foundation for all living beings was ten portions.
Xun Mu had casually mentioned it back then.
After all, in the vast and boundless Endless Universe, nine portions of divine energy were not uncommon. Most Divine Lord-level beings possessed nine portions of divine energy. But reaching ten portions was incredibly difficult; Xun Mu had never heard of anyone achieving that level.
As a creation of a Divine Lord, Xun Mu had followed a Divine Lord and had a high level of insight. He knew of one method to attain ten portions of divine energy foundation—the Reincarnation Technique, which he had heard about from Jianmu Divine Lord.
By using the Reincarnation Technique to reincarnate in an untamed world, one could cultivate the three Primordial Paths and become the first to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth, thereby obtaining a ten-portion divine energy foundation.
It sounds easy in theory.
But in practice, it is extremely difficult.
First, to achieve reincarnation, one must be from the Creation Lineage, a peak Divine Lord capable of shattering the Ninth Heaven.
However, a peak Divine Lord, standing at the pinnacle of the Endless Universe, overlooking countless beings, with only the legendary Venerable Ones above them, would they abandon everything they have to reincarnate and start over? After all, reincarnation comes with risks!
Even after reincarnation, while one retains the memories and thoughts from their previous life, everything else is stripped away by the Primordial Dao and the supreme rules, including all the insights gained from the Primordial Dao. Everything must start anew.
Even if a peak Divine Lord reincarnates as a mortal infant, they are incredibly fragile. If they die again during their growth, it will be a permanent death.
Moreover,
The process of reincarnation is entirely uncontrollable.
Reincarnating into a Grand Realm where the Divine Realm has already emerged is manageable; the path of cultivation remains smooth, and with the wisdom and skills from their past life, they can quickly regain their divine status. However, if they reincarnate into a resource-poor medium or small world, it becomes a significant challenge.
As the saying goes, "A skilled housewife cannot cook without rice." Even with the wisdom and knowledge of a Divine Lord, it is extremely difficult to achieve divinity in such a resource-poor world. While they might have various means to achieve their goals, the process is bound to be arduous, and death means no chance to start over.
A peak Divine Lord capable of shattering the Ninth Heaven must have a foundation of nine divine powers.
Would they risk everything to reincarnate and gain an additional divine power foundation?
No one would do that.
Therefore, Xun Mu speculated that in the Endless Universe, beings with ten divine power foundations might exist, but they would be extremely rare. Each one is likely a Divine Lord, and not just an ordinary one, but possibly a Ninth Heaven Divine Lord!
Xun Mu's gaze turned to Chen Mu, watching the figure who was fully focused on propelling his true self through the void. For a moment, Xun Mu felt a slight daze, as if he saw a great figure rising in the Endless Universe.
Previously, he was unsure if Chen Mu could achieve the rank of a Divine Lord, but now he had no doubts.
In the Endless Universe, beings with a foundation of nine divine powers have a high chance of becoming Divine Lords in the future, as it not only signifies a solid foundation but also extraordinary talent.
And Chen Mu?
Chen Mu was born in an untamed world!
Regardless of whether Chen Mu has a foundation of nine or ten divine powers, his talent far surpasses those who rise from worlds guided by the Divine Realm. Xun Mu himself has experienced this firsthand.
With such talent, Xun Mu believes that as long as Chen Mu does not perish along the way, he will almost certainly become a Divine Lord in the future!
With the broad perspective of a Divine Lord's follower, he has never seen anyone in the endless ages who could match Chen Mu's talent. This human born in an untamed world is almost like a miracle!
At this moment,
Xun Mu even felt a sense of fortune.
He was fortunate that after being swept away by the void currents, he eventually landed near the world where Chen Mu was born.
He was fortunate to unexpectedly meet Chen Mu and form various ties with him, even providing significant assistance on Chen Mu's path of cultivation—aiding a future Divine Lord!
Although those things were of little value to him, the most precious being the Spirit Heart Divine Essence, they were insignificant to a Divine Lord and even to the current Chen Mu. However, the help he provided during Chen Mu's growth was entirely different.
Xun Mu even felt that perhaps he was destined for this.
From being an ordinary tree spirit, he was incredibly fortunate to be chosen by a Divine Lord, enlightened to life, and became a Divine Lord's creation, stepping into the Divine Realm, reaching the heights that countless beings aspire to.
And after facing great calamity, being displaced, and reduced to surviving in the void, he unexpectedly met another being of extraordinary talent, who is almost certain to become a Divine Lord in the future.
How fortunate?
Of course,
This is also due to his gentle nature.
He is, after all, a being born from the life branch of the Creation Lineage, tasked with observing the Inner World for the Jianmu Divine Lord and assisting in the growth of all living beings.
As he awoke from his slumber, sensing the intrusion of a life form from the outside, he didn't immediately take action to exterminate it. Instead, he observed for a moment and unexpectedly discovered that Chen Mu's talents seemed decent, which sparked some unconventional thoughts, leading to his current situation.
"Brother Xun Mu, with such a commotion in the void, do you think it might attract the attention of the Demon Race?"
Chen Mu slowly pushed Xun Mu's body towards the Great Xuan World while contemplating the current situation.
Xun Mu, startled out of his contemplation, heard Chen Mu's question and replied after a brief pause:
"It's not that simple."
"The Demon Race can cross boundaries because they possess the coordinates of your world, but being in a distant universe, even with the coordinates, they still have numerous restrictions. They can't observe everything in your world, let alone the boundless void outside."
Upon hearing Xun Mu's words, Chen Mu felt relieved and said, "Then it's settled."
He still had several tasks to accomplish, and he was concerned about the Demon Race noticing their activities and causing interference. However, as Xun Mu mentioned, the Demon Race's Ancestral Demon Realm was in the Outer Realm, separated by a vast distance. It seemed implausible that they could observe the entire Great Xuan World and its surroundings based solely on coordinates.
To achieve such a feat, it would likely require a Divine Lord-level figure from the Void Dao lineage. While the Demon Race had multiple Divine Lord-level beings, according to Xun Mu's knowledge, all of them belonged to the Creation Dao lineage. He hadn't heard of any Demon Race Divine Lords from the Time Dao or Void Dao lineages.
Looking across the Endless Universe, the Creation Dao lineage had the most Divine Lords, followed by the Void Dao, and the Time Dao had the least.
Currently, Chen Mu had several tasks to complete. He helped Xun Mu's body approach the Great Xuan World, and after several days, Xun Mu's body finally neared the Great Xuan World amidst the surging void turbulence! However, as Xun Mu's body gradually approached the boundary of the Great Xuan World, Xun Mu's massive branches began to tremble slightly, and a voice resonated:
"That's enough. Stop there."
Chen Mu also sensed something unusual and gradually retracted his divine power. He made Xun Mu's body halt at the edge of the Great Xuan World. At this moment, he vaguely felt the Heaven-Earth Will of the Great Xuan World repelling Xun Mu.
Xun Mu explained, "I'm not a life form from your world, so I won't be repelled by your world's Heaven-Earth Will. But since the void tide is heading this way, your world's Heaven-Earth Will can't actively expel me. However, if I forcibly enter, I'll still face suppression, so it's best to stop here for now."
"Next, you need to find the Interface Primordial of your world and refine it. Then, you can completely replace the Heaven-Earth Will of your world, and at that time, you can let me in."
After Xun Mu's simple explanation, Chen Mu nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll take the lead."
As he said, he took a step forward, and his entire body swiftly crossed the boundary of the Great Xuan World and returned to the Great Xuan World. He closed his eyes and began to carefully sense the Heaven-Earth Will of the Great Xuan World, searching for the Interface Primordial's location.
In this process, he finally encountered some resistance from the Heaven-Earth Will. Although the Heaven-Earth Will lacked intelligence and was merely a rule of indifference, it seemed to instinctively resist the search for the Interface Primordial.
Previously,
When Chen Mu entered the Divine Realm, his mental command instantly scanned the entire Great Xuan World. However, due to the resistance and deliberate concealment of the Heaven-Earth Will, he hadn't detected the presence of the Interface Primordial.
Now, with Xun Mu's reminder, Chen Mu began to intentionally search. His gaze scanned through the mountains and rivers of the Great Xuan World inch by inch, and after some time, he finally discovered a clue.
"Is it here?"
A glimmer flashed in Chen Mu's eyes as he looked at the familiar region, but he didn't feel surprised.
He had been to the location of the Interface Primordial before, but at that time, he hadn't cultivated to the Divine Realm, so it was indeed impossible to discover the Interface Primordial's existence under the deliberate concealment of the Heaven-Earth Will.
That place was the Kunlun Mountains, the number one peak of the Great Xuan World.
