Chapter 573: Master... Already at the Divine Realm?
Chapter 573: Master... Already at the Divine Realm?
In a certain valley, within the He Huan Sect, two figures sat facing each other on the edge of a pond. Their appearances were strikingly similar, making it nearly impossible to discern any differences. Even their auras seemed to blend seamlessly.
At this moment, a strange phenomenon occurred above the pond. A crimson sun hung in the air, and the overwhelming power of Heaven and Earth rushed down, continuously pouring into the bodies of the two.
Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying were incredibly fortunate among the martial artists of the world. Born in the same generation as Chen Mu, their talents were already extraordinary, qualifying them to challenge the Grandmasters of the Bone Marrow Washing Realm. With Chen Mu's guidance and assistance, the Grandmaster level posed little restriction to them.
After entering the Grandmaster Realm, Chen Mu conquered the world and pioneered the path of martial arts, broadening the way of Blood Exchange. This significantly lowered the difficulty for martial artists to undergo Blood Exchange. With the abundant resources Chen Mu provided, and the experience of battling the Demon Race in North City, their mind souls had been tempered and transformed. Thus, breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm became a smooth process.
In the past, achieving Blood Exchange was not so easy, even with their talents. Reaching the Bone Marrow Washing Grandmaster Realm was somewhat within their grasp, but ascending to the Blood Exchange Realm seemed ethereal. Not only did it require immense personal strength, but also the presence of great opportunities.
However, with Chen Mu's emergence, all aspects were seemingly fulfilled.
If they still couldn't enter the Blood Exchange Realm under these circumstances, their talents would be considered somewhat lacking. In terms of innate potential, they were ultimately superior to Chen Yue and the others. In their early years, they were true disciples of a great sect, the outstanding ones among the younger generation.
According to Chen Mu's judgment, the number of Blood Exchange Grandmasters coexisting in a single era in the future might reach the thousands. In the past, there were at most only two or three hundred. At least, the number had increased by several times.
As for more?
That would no longer be limited by innate talent and the perfection of martial arts, but by the strength of the Great Xuan World. The Great Xuan World had limited resources, and the power of Heaven and Earth was also finite. Consequently, there was an ultimate limit to the number of powerful individuals it could support.
As one approached this limit, the difficulty of breaking through would gradually increase.
Unless the Great Xuan World could continuously expand and become more vast and powerful under Chen Mu's leadership, it could then accommodate more.
At this moment, Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying were undergoing the Blood Exchange. There was something peculiar about their situation. Although they had two separate bodies, they were both experiencing the tempering of Heaven and Earth's power. However, their mind souls were not like those of ordinary martial artists, located separately in their skulls. Instead, they floated higher, intertwining and merging into a single entity.
Chen Mu's gaze, now at the Divine Realm, could see through the essence of all mundane things. He could also perceive Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying with absolute clarity.
Indeed, their mind souls were connected.
It sounded somewhat strange; two distinct individuals with separate bodies had their mind souls connected as one. How did their mind souls manage to connect out of thin air? At the Divine Realm level, one could see through the essence with a single thought. Just like Chen Mu, with a fleeting thought, he could manifest a strand of divine energy, creating a divine power incarnation, even if separated by thousands of miles, it would still be a part of his mental projection.
However, Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying were not at the Divine Realm. Initially, they were merely ordinary mortals. Thus, after separating into different individuals and experiencing different growth paths, some differences gradually emerged between them.
But as their realms continued to rise, approaching the Divine Realm, those differences would gradually fade away.
After an unknown period, the violent fluctuations of Heaven and Earth's power pouring into their bodies finally began to subside.
Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying opened their eyes simultaneously, glancing at each other. A subtle expression appeared in their eyes.
The higher the realm, the more inseparable they became. After entering the Blood Exchange Realm, they experienced another kind of distinct feeling between them.
During the Viscera Refinement Realm, they needed to be very close to each other, even physically touching, to connect their thoughts and perceptions. But upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm, a single strand of Primordial Energy intertwining was enough for their thoughts to transmit without hindrance.
Now, after entering the Blood Exchange Realm, even these requirements vanished.
Without physical contact or the need for connected vital energy, their thoughts could transmit out of thin air. Furthermore, Hua Nong Yue had a peculiar feeling; she seemed to be able to directly control Hua Nong Ying's body, and the same was true for Hua Nong Ying.
Because the sisters' thoughts were in sync, as soon as Hua Nong Yue had this idea, she immediately tried it out. To her surprise, she found that she could indeed control Hua Nong Ying's limbs remotely.
The two sisters exchanged a glance.
Then, suddenly, they both stood up and struck out a palm, seemingly testing each other's strength. But in reality, Hua Nong Ying's palm was controlled by Hua Nong Yue, and Hua Nong Yue's palm was controlled by Hua Nong Ying.
Boom! Boom!
In just a moment, they exchanged dozens of moves.
The feeling of manipulating each other's bodies and fighting themselves was incredibly strange. Initially, they both struggled to adapt, but after several exchanges, they gradually adjusted to this state.
They didn't try for long. After nearly a hundred moves, they stopped, as they had just entered the Blood Exchange Realm and were still in the early stages of the Celestial Palace World's power infusion. They needed more time to consolidate their foundations.
However, just as they paused, a figure appeared silently not far away.
Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying were both startled. In an instant, their shadows merged, standing side by side, revealing a sense of vigilance and caution. But when they saw the visitor's appearance, they were both surprised.
"Master?"
Looking at the suddenly appearing Chen Mu, the sisters exclaimed in unison, but they didn't immediately lower their guard.
At this moment, they couldn't see through Chen Mu's current state and couldn't sense any of his aura, which was completely different from before. Even during the battle in North City years ago, they could clearly sense Chen Mu's aura. But now, Chen Mu gave them the feeling of an unfathomable abyss, impossible to scrutinize or test.
This unfamiliar feeling also made them hesitant to relax their vigilance immediately. After all, in this world, they were being watched by the Demon Race, and the Demon Race was adept at deception and fraud, so no one dared to let down their guard.
Chen Mu, looking at the sisters' cautious expressions, waved his hand casually.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the world transformed.
Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying felt dizzy, and when they regained consciousness, they found themselves in a very unfamiliar place. Here, white clouds filled the sky, the scenery was picturesque, and the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth was extremely dense, many times denser than the Cold North. Even the He Huan Sect's branch, which used a special array to condense the Primordial Energy, couldn't compare to the richness of this place.
Experiencing this sudden transformation, Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying stiffened. Instinctively, they thought it was an illusion, but after realizing that everything around them was real and not an illusion, they were both astonished.
What kind of ability was this?!
Where had they been transported to in an instant?
They knew that even though they had just entered the Blood Exchange Realm, they had truly crossed that threshold. They were not far from the peak of the Martial Dao. Although they had witnessed Chen Mu's slaughter of the Demon Race army in North City, they knew that even if they became Celestial Heroes, there was still a vast distance between them and Chen Mu. But at least then, they could somewhat understand Chen Mu's methods.
But what kind of method was this? In an instant, he changed the world, teleporting them from the He Huan Sect's branch in the Cold North to this place. They had no resistance at all, and this method had completely transcended the scope of the Martial Dao!
"Master, this place is..."
Hua Nong Yue, still in awe, completely lowered her guard and asked Chen Mu in a soft voice.
Only Chen Mu in the Great Xuan World could have achieved this, instantly changing the world and teleporting them to this unfamiliar place. As for the Demon Race... it was basically impossible. If there were Demons with such abilities, they wouldn't need to do such pointless things. A single thought, and the sisters would have been corrupted by Demon thoughts, becoming puppets of the Demon Race.
Chen Mu, dressed in a blue robe, looked at Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying and said, "This is a world I've created, relying on the Great Xuan World as its foundation. How do you feel now? Are you uncomfortable?"
Creating a world? Although the sisters' thoughts were now completely in sync, Hua Nong Yue and Hua Nong Ying still instinctively glanced at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Despite both of them having already entered the Blood Exchange Realm and experienced countless major events, they quickly suppressed the tremors in their hearts and took a moment to sense the unique nature of this piece of heaven and earth. Soon, a wave of emotions arose in their minds.
Such rich Heavenly-Earth Essence Qi!
Nowadays, various major sects have their own methods for concentrating Heavenly-Earth Essence Qi. The Loveflower Sect also has similar means, relying on the power of the mountain's earth pulse to arrange arrays, increasing the concentration of Heavenly-Earth Essence Qi to aid martial practitioners in their cultivation and breakthroughs.
They did not attempt the Blood Exchange Realm in the Seven Mysteries Sect but instead went to a branch of the Loveflower Sect, also based on this reason. After all, with the special arrangement, they could make the process of Blood Exchange more stable.
However, even with the special array concentrating Heavenly-Earth Essence Qi, the concentration of Heavenly-Earth Essence Qi in that valley branch of the Loveflower Sect is still far from comparable to here, at least ten times the difference!
"Reporting back, the Heavenly-Earth Essence Qi is extremely rich, and there are no other discomforts."
After a brief moment of awe, Moonflower responded to Chen Mu.
In fact, given their relationship with Chen Mu, there was no need to be so restrained. But for some reason, at this moment, she and her sister Shadowflower, whenever their gaze fell upon Chen Mu, would unconsciously experience a sense of reverence and a feeling of not daring to offend.
"Hmm, that's good."
Chen Mu nodded slightly at Moonflower's reply, then looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you two so restrained?"
Moonflower hesitated for a moment, looking at Chen Mu with some trepidation, and said, "This... I don't know why, but standing before you always gives me a sense of reverence and awe from the depths of my soul."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Chen Mu, and a gleam appeared in her eyes as she said, "Could it be that you've taken that step?"
They had long understood each other's strengths and weaknesses, and even after the North City Pass incident, when Chen Mu demonstrated such heaven-defying strength, they did not feel awe because of his power. Instead, they rejoiced in his strength, but now, this sense of reverence, seemingly stemming from a life-level difference, was impossible to dispel.
This made her suddenly think, could it be that Chen Mu has taken that step?!
Nowadays, it is common knowledge that martial arts can lead to transcendence, and Chen Mu is the person closest to the Divine Realm in the world. After the North City Pass battle, rumors spread that Chen Mu had taken that step and attained the Divine Realm.
However, for Moonflower and the others, they were aware of the Nine Lower Divine Stages and knew that at that time, Chen Mu should have progressed significantly within the Nine Lower Divine Stages, but most likely had not yet entered the Divine Realm.
But now,
This sense of reverence, so close yet so far, made her involuntarily think of this possibility.
"Hmm."
Chen Mu nodded in agreement.
At this moment, he had already realized that Moonflower and Shadowflower's restraint in his presence was probably not because he had entered the Divine Realm, but because he was the 'World Lord'.
Currently, in terms of identity, he is the very embodiment of the Great Xuan World's heaven and earth, and all sentient beings born in this heaven and earth, like Moonflower and the others, as long as they have not taken that step into the Divine Realm, would naturally feel reverence towards him.
This is a reverence stemming from the essence of life.
Of course,
Moonflower and Shadowflower were unaware of this, and they guessed that this reverence came from Chen Mu's realm. Hearing Chen Mu's acknowledgment, the two of them couldn't help but feel their hearts stir with ripples.
Although they were among those most familiar with Chen Mu, they never doubted his ability to attain the Divine Realm. But when Chen Mu truly took that step, it was inevitable that they would be shocked.
After all, that's the Divine Realm!
Transcending heaven and earth, a realm that truly transcends the mortal realm.
In the mortal world, no matter how powerful a martial practitioner is, they are still bound by heaven and earth and limited by their lifespan. After a period of time, they will eventually return to the earth, but upon cultivating the Divine Realm, they embark on an immortal path!
Transcending heaven and earth, free from the constraints of lifespan, immortal and unbound, they can even leave this world and explore the boundless universe beyond.
Decades ago,
Chen Mu was just a minor martial practitioner in a remote area of Yuzhou. Even if he rose to prominence there and defeated the true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he only received some minor attention. No one could have imagined that he would influence the future world's layout.
But decades later, Chen Mu not only attained the pinnacle of martial arts, supporting the heavens with one hand, but also became the foremost figure in martial arts, the first person in history to break through the constraints of heaven and earth and achieve the Divine Realm!
