Chapter 575: Great Dream Heart-Nourishing Technique
Chapter 575: Great Dream Heart-Nourishing Technique
The Great Xuan World.
Heavenly Palace.
Within the mist-shrouded heavenly palace, Xu Hongyu sat cross-legged in her simple cloth attire, eyes tightly shut, brows slightly furrowed, and long eyelashes quivering occasionally as if enduring some painful experience.
After an unknown duration, her body shuddered, and she suddenly opened her eyes, awakening with a forehead covered in fine sweat. She couldn't help but take several deep breaths.
"How was it?"
Chen Mu's figure appeared before her, smiling as he asked.
Upon seeing Chen Mu, Xu Hongyu's gaze quickly steadied, and after taking a deep breath, she replied after a moment of contemplation, "This technique indeed sharpens the mind and will, and it can temper the soul. Although it occurs in a dream, everything experienced after sealing oneself within the dream feels real. Each dream is like a rebirth, and if I cultivate using this technique, I believe I can break through the Blood Exchange Realm in no time."
Breaking through the Blood Exchange Realm requires not only the perfection of martial body cultivation but also a transformation in mental and willpower. In the past martial arts, this was known as the Life and Death Tribulation, but from Chen Mu's current perspective, as long as the soul is powerful enough, there is no such bottleneck.
The importance of soul cultivation goes without saying, so after establishing the Heavenly Palace and bringing Xu Hongyu and the others here, he began researching a soul-tempering technique suitable for martial cultivators.
For ordinary cultivators, creating such a soul cultivation method might be an impossible task, even after countless generations of effort spanning thousands of years. However, for the current Chen Mu, with his broadened vision, creating techniques is not particularly difficult. The challenge lies in crafting a soul cultivation method suitable for martial cultivators, which is either too high-risk or too complex.
After much contemplation, he drew inspiration from Qin Mengjun's soul healing, the methods of the demon clan, and his past cultivation experiences, including the Refine Soul Technique. Finally, he created the 'Great Dream Heart-Nourishing Technique'.
When cultivating this technique, one experiences various situations in their dreams, all of which feel incredibly real. Only upon awakening do they realize that everything before was an illusion.
After several adjustments, he first taught this technique to Xu Hongyu, allowing her to try it out.
Based on Xu Hongyu's cultivation results, the technique indeed showed promise, but with a cultivation foundation at the Bone Marrow Refiner Master level, there would be numerous risks in cultivating below this level, possibly resulting in soul damage and a prolonged slumber from which one might never awaken.
"That's excellent. You've already achieved perfection in the first level of Bone Marrow Refinement, and all you lack is mental and willpower."
Chen Mu reached into the mist and poured a cup of spiritual tea, offering it to Xu Hongyu.
Now that he had stepped into the Divine Realm, the cultivation levels of those around him were indeed somewhat lacking. Upon reaching the Divine Realm, even the essence of life undergoes a transformation, fundamentally different from ordinary beings.
Xu Hongyu had once hoped to bear another child for him, but now that he had entered the Divine Realm, even a Bone Marrow Refiner Master like her couldn't bear the life imprint of a Divine Realm existence. Not even the Blood Exchange Realm could accommodate it.
Only the Divine Realm could bear the life imprint of a Divine Realm existence.
"My foundation and talent are somewhat lacking. Even if I manage to enter the Blood Exchange Realm or even become a Celestial, my chances of breaking through to the Divine Realm are slim. Yue'er and Yao'er, on the other hand, still have a chance."
Xu Hongyu took a sip of the spiritual tea and sighed softly.
Family matters are best understood by the family themselves. Her talent wasn't exceptionally outstanding; it was merely considered impressive in a small place like Yujun County. Compared to the true disciples of a major sect, she would be far behind, perhaps only occupying a corner among the inner disciples.
With such talent, achieving the level of a Bone Marrow Refiner Master was nearly impossible without Chen Mu's help. The Blood Exchange Realm had been an insurmountable hurdle for her, but now, with Chen Mu's Great Dream Heart-Nourishing Technique, she had a chance to break through.
She knew that without reaching the Divine Realm, even within the small world Chen Mu had created, her lifespan would be limited to a few thousand years at most.
Humans and demons are inherently different. Although demons aren't Divine Realm beings, they can live for hundreds of thousands of years due to special secret techniques that allow them to enter long periods of slumber. Additionally, their life essence is more unique than that of humans, as demons had given birth to Divine Realm ancestors in the distant past.
With Divine Realm ancestors continually improving their bloodline and altering their life attributes, their longevity naturally increased over time. This is a process of growth, and humans also need to undergo a long transformation.
A few thousand years is already a long time for mortals, including Xu Hongyu's past self.
However, compared to Chen Mu's near-infinite lifespan after entering the Divine Realm, a few thousand years is but a minuscule fraction of his future existence.
"Nothing is impossible," Chen Mu said with a smile, standing amidst the mist. "As the first being in this world to achieve the Divine Realm, I have more benefits to offer than you can imagine. If you persist in cultivating the Great Dream Heart-Nourishing Technique and enter the Blood Exchange Realm, I can still assist you in your path to divinity."
Xu Hongyu was taken aback by Chen Mu's words and asked, "Assist in ascending to divinity?"
Xu Hongyu could understand the methods of aiding others in blood exchange and even cultivating to the level of a celestial being. After all, she now deeply understood the vast difference between ordinary martial artists and those in the Divine Realm.
Take the Blood Exchange Realm beings, for example; they were merely one step below the Divine Realm, and the power gap between each level was significant. Even the weakest in the Divine Realm possessed the strength of the ninth level below the Divine Realm.
Although the sixth level below the Divine Realm could steadily challenge the Divine Realm, this gap was still challenging to bridge. The distance between the first and sixth levels below the Divine Realm was likely more difficult than cultivating from an ordinary person to the Blood Exchange Realm.
"This shouldn't be so easy," Xu Hongyu said, surprised as she looked at Chen Mu.
It wasn't difficult for a Blood Exchange Realm being to mentor a junior to the Five Organs or Six Apertures Realm, as it only required some resource investment. However, mentoring a junior to the Bone Marrow Refinement Realm was incredibly challenging.
Grandmaster level and beyond relied more on one's capabilities.
Assisting a junior in reaching a realm equivalent to one's own was akin to a pipe dream.
"It's indeed challenging, but not impossible," Chen Mu said as he put down the teapot and spoke softly to Xu Hongyu. "The methods in the Divine Realm vary greatly. There are nine levels in the Divine Realm, and the weakest is at the first level. As you progress upwards, the gap between each level becomes more significant, and the fourth and seventh levels are particularly challenging to surpass."
"A first-level Divine Realm being is like an ant before a fourth-level Divine Realm being, and the same is true for a fourth-level Divine Realm being before a seventh-level Divine Realm being. As the first being to enter the Divine Realm in this realm, I've endured numerous hardships and obstacles, and my foundation is solid. I've already reached the fourth level, so forcefully elevating someone to the Divine Realm is not an impossible task."
Xu Hongyu suddenly understood upon hearing this.
If what Chen Mu said was true, the gap between the fourth and first levels of the Divine Realm was probably similar to the difference between the Blood Exchange Realm and the Five Organs or Six Apertures Realm. It wasn't overly challenging for a Blood Exchange Realm being to elevate a martial artist to the Five Organs Realm.
What surprised Xu Hongyu was that she initially thought that only the best among the various races and realms could cultivate to the Divine Realm. She assumed that those who had crossed the threshold of the Divine Realm would be similar in strength. However, it seemed that Chen Mu had reached an extraordinary level upon entering the Divine Realm.
After listening to Chen Mu's words, Xu Hongyu found it reasonable. After all, Chen Mu had cultivated to the Divine Realm in the Great Xuan, an uncivilized world, without any guidance. He was now the Domain Sovereign, controlling the entire Great Xuan World, and with such a foundation, it was understandable that his strength in the Divine Realm was exceptional.
"However, this is the limit of what I can do," Chen Mu said, looking at Xu Hongyu with a slight sigh. "I'd rather you all enter the Divine Realm through your abilities, as it will broaden your future path."
Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, Xu Hongyu couldn't help but smile wryly. "Husband, what you're saying... My cultivation to the current realm and even having the hope of challenging the Blood Exchange is all thanks to your help. Moreover, if I could truly enter the Divine Realm, it would be the dream of countless ordinary martial artists. Who would still desire to go further on the path of the Divine Realm?"
If Chen Mu's words were made public, she wondered what the Blood Exchange Realm beings and celestials of the Seven Mysteries Sect would think.
"When you have something good, you naturally desire something better. Human nature is like that," Chen Mu smiled at Xu Hongyu.
Xu Hongyu smiled back at Chen Mu and said, "Husband, you're already the master of a realm and a celestial being."
Chen Mu shook his head and said, "Even in the Divine Realm, one is still a person who has ascended to divinity. Human nature remains imprinted in the essence of life; the difference lies in having a broader vision and standing at a different height."
After saying this, Chen Mu suddenly stood still, his eyes losing their luster as if he had frozen in place.
Xu Hongyu was slightly startled by this and asked, "Husband? What's wrong?"
"Hmm... It's good news," Chen Mu quickly regained his composure and smiled. "I'll go and pass on the Great Dream Heart-Nourishing Technique to Yue'er and the others. I have other important matters to attend to later. You can continue your cultivation here, Hongyu."
Chen Mu's interface clone imparted the Great Dream Heart-Nourishing Technique to Chen Yue and the others, then carefully instructed them before quietly leaving the Heavenly Palace and heading straight for the bottom of the Earth Abyss in the Great Xuan World.
He summoned the system panel and gazed at it.
【Divine Power Refinement Technique: Spirit Birth Divine Technique (First Level)】
【Experience: 0 points】
The interface clone could also summon the system panel, and even with the time flow being different on both sides, it did not affect the panel's appearance, a fact that Chen Mu had discovered and found unremarkable.
The power of the system panel could transcend time and space, something he had already experienced.
"The Divine Energy Incarnation side has finished, and this side can also begin now."
Chen Mu took a deep breath, and a faint glow flashed in his eyes before he slowly closed them. With a thought, he harnessed the rules of the Great Xuan World, and a magnificent and vast Creation Power surged from all directions, pouring down upon his interface clone.
In almost an instant, the impact transformed his interface clone, stripping away its original form and turning it into a colorful, swirling mass of Origin Power floating in the void. It continued to endure the impact of the Creation Power.
While the Divine Energy Incarnation needed to carefully and meticulously refine each unit of Divine Power in the cultivation of the Spirit Birth Divine Technique, the interface clone did not require such meticulousness.
The essence of the interface clone was the interface origin, or in other words, diluted Origin Power.
As long as the Divine Energy Incarnation cultivated the secret art, the interface clone could directly guide the corresponding Origin Power into its body in a very crude manner, rapidly absorbing these powers in a short time and causing its own rapid growth.
One day,
Two days,
Three days,
...
Ten days!
Chen Mu's Divine Energy Incarnation had spent the equivalent of a hundred years in the Great Xuan World to gain a thousand points of experience in comprehending the Spirit Birth Divine Technique, but his interface clone had only needed a mere ten days to synchronize the first level of this technique!
"It's no wonder it's a Divine Lord-level secret art; just the first level is already so extraordinary."
Chen Mu stood at the bottom of the Earth Abyss, experiencing the changes brought about by the first level of the Spirit Birth Divine Technique, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
His amazement wasn't due to the increase in the interface clone's strength, as he had already experienced this feeling of a significant power boost through the Divine Energy Incarnation. The interface clone had merely synchronized with the progress of the Divine Energy Incarnation.
What truly amazed Chen Mu was that after his interface clone had completely mastered the first level of the Spirit Birth Divine Technique, even the Great Xuan World was affected!
He could clearly sense that the Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy throughout the Great Xuan World had increased by nearly ten percent!
The interface clone was the interface origin of the Great Xuan World, and they were essentially one. Any improvement in the interface clone would naturally affect the Great Xuan World.
Don't underestimate this ten percent increase; it was actually a huge change. One must understand that the concentration of Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy was measured across the entire Great Xuan World. How vast and immense was this world?
Even a ten percent increase in Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy in such a vast world was already an enormous amount.
Chen Mu quickly understood the reason for this effect: the improvement of the interface clone directly influenced the Great Xuan World's absorption and utilization of Creation Power.
In essence, the Great Xuan World was constantly 'breathing,' but each breath involved the absorption and release of Void Power, Creation Power, and Time Power.
No power came from nothingness, and the Great Xuan World was not isolated in the void. Its foundation was always the Origin Power that permeated the Endless Universe.
Chen Mu's improvement, which led to the interface clone's mastery of the first level of the Spirit Birth Divine Technique, also enhanced the Great Xuan World's absorption of Creation Power, directly impacting the entire world.
Ten percent,
This magnitude might not be noticeable in the short term, and it didn't seem like a large amount.
In reality, many great sects and clans occupied environments with abundant Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy, only one or two percent more than the outside world.
However, this enhancement affected the entire Great Xuan World!
According to Chen Mu's estimation, this ten percent increase in the concentration of Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy was enough to double the number of Bone Marrow Refinement Realm and Blood Exchange Realm experts in the Great Xuan World!
Not only were martial artists affected, but even commoners would experience changes, becoming stronger and healthier, and their lifespans would also increase accordingly, even without martial cultivation.
The cultivation of the Spirit Birth Divine Technique not only transformed the interface clone but also brought about a metamorphosis for the entire Great Xuan World!
