Chapter 576: Life and the Ten Thousand Spirits
Amidst the boundless void, Chen Mu's Divine Energy Incarnation sat in meditation, his gaze fixed on the system panel.
Having completed the first layer of Spirit Birth Divine Technique, his Interface Clone had also finished refining the same technique. The next step in his cultivation journey was to practice the second layer of the Spirit Birth Divine Technique, but there was a prerequisite—he must first comprehend the complete Life Mystery within the Creation Path.
Chen Mu was not yet qualified for this cultivation; he needed to delve deeper into the understanding of the Creation Path.
"Life..."
Chen Mu's gaze swept across the endless void, observing the countless specks of light in the distance, each representing a unique world. After a moment of contemplation, he rose from the void, retracting the remaining grains of Time Dust that he had not yet exhausted. Then, he chose the nearest speck of light and took a step forward.
Among the five fundamental mysteries of the Creation Path, Life was one of them. To comprehend the mysteries of the Life lineage, staying in the empty void would undoubtedly be the least efficient approach. Although the Creation Path was omnipresent, even in the void, there existed the mysteries of life. However, comprehending in such a place would undoubtedly yield half the results for twice the effort.
In contrast, visiting the various worlds born within the endless void and observing the lives within them, as well as the birth and destruction of the 'world' itself, would be a far more efficient way to gain insights. This would not only accelerate his understanding but also significantly increase the speed at which he gained system panel experience.
Undoubtedly, Chen Mu's next task was to dedicate himself to comprehending the Life Mystery within the Creation Path.
Before long, the speck of light in his vision gradually expanded, transforming into a vast world suspended in the boundless void. This world was not particularly large, being several times smaller than the Great Xuan World, but significantly larger than the Seek Wood Cave Heaven.
According to Chen Mu's judgment, this was a medium-sized realm.
In a single void, the number of minor realms was countless, almost immeasurable, and they were constantly undergoing destruction and rebirth, cycling through endless iterations. Their lifespans were also very short.
The medium-sized realms, however, were much better off. Even without the birth of a Domain Sovereign, their natural lifespans often reached around a million years. This period was sufficient to nurture numerous lives and even give rise to different races and civilizations.
However, due to the limitations of these worlds, medium-sized realms could never give birth to Divine Realm beings.
Chen Mu gradually approached the edge of this medium-sized realm, and soon he felt a weak yet resistant willpower surging towards him. It was the world itself, rejecting him, an outsider, but this force of rejection was so feeble that he could easily ignore it, even trample over it.
The glowing realm wall, in his perception, was as fragile as a thin membrane, easily punctured with a slight exertion of his current strength.
Although the will of the heavens and earth in medium-sized realms also rejected outsiders, it was utterly insufficient to resist a Fourth Stage True Divine. Moreover, during the Void Tide period, the power of the world was even weaker.
A Fourth Stage True Divine could easily destroy a medium-sized realm.
However, Chen Mu did not forcefully oppose this medium-sized realm. Instead, he stopped in front of the realm wall and turned his gaze inward, gazing upon the vast world within.
In just an instant, everything within this realm came into view, revealing a world of brown hues, reminiscent of a twilight landscape.
As a medium-sized realm, it lacked the environmental diversity of the Great Xuan World, which boasted ice fields, deserts, and oases. Chen Mu's eyes scanned the entire world, noticing that the earth pulse power was extremely thick, while the heavenly force was scarce, resulting in an imbalanced environment. The land was nearly devoid of vegetation, revealing only rugged hills and ravines.
It appeared to be a desolate and cold world.
But as Chen Mu's gaze penetrated the surface, he witnessed a vibrant and majestic underground world teeming with countless caverns and interconnected passageways, each harboring various forms of life. Although not as diverse as the Great Xuan World, it was still a thriving sight.
"An underground world..."
Chen Mu's eyes glistened as he beheld this spectacle.
While the Great Xuan World also had an Earth Abyss, and various demons dwelled within, the environment there was extremely harsh, making it unsuitable for life. Only beings at the Grandmaster level could dare to explore the Earth Abyss.
In this Medium Realm, the underground world was the primary domain. The surface world, lacking in Heavenly Force and the Yang aspect of Yin-Yang energy, was desolate and frigid, unsuitable for life. In contrast, the underground world thrived due to the abundance of Earth Pulse Power, keeping it in a warm state.
Here, an incredibly lush vegetation flourished, relying solely on Earth Pulse Power for survival. Thick root systems spread in all directions, and many life forms depended on these plants for sustenance, extracting juices from the roots to survive.
Finally, there existed a humanoid species with dark brown skin and intelligence. They hunted the animals of the underground world and gathered plant resources for sustenance. Compared to the Da Xuan world's human race, these creatures were more primitive.
"No matter what kind of world it is, as long as there's an environment suitable for life, life will be born, right?"
Chen Mu carefully observed the life forms of this world.
Among these humanoid beings, he sensed the presence of two mysteries from the Creation Lineage: 'Life' and 'Ten Thousand Spirits'.
The existence of the Life Mystery gave rise to diverse life forms, while the Ten Thousand Spirits Mystery allowed these lives to develop various spiritualities and wisdom.
The humanoid tribe in this underground world, though physically shorter than the human race and with a primitive tribal appearance, still possessed intelligence despite being in a stage where they wore beast skins and drank blood. They even understood the path of cultivation! Chen Mu directed his gaze towards one particular tribe.
Deep within the tribe, an elderly figure resembling a tribal priest sat in a cave with an inward-sloping depression. This cave was warmer than its surroundings, and a yellowish glow seeped through the stone walls—a sign of the turbid and mottled Earth Pulse Power. The elderly priest was utilizing this power to temper his body and physique.
Despite his aged appearance, his limbs were not weak, comparable to a Sinew Transformation Level martial artist.
Chen Mu closely observed the tribal priest's cultivation, examining his cultivation method. Although extremely primitive, it had its merits, effectively utilizing the abundant Earth Pulse Power of this world.
Unconsciously, Chen Mu became slightly engrossed. When he snapped back to attention, the tribal priest had finished his cultivation session and left the cave, respectfully bowing towards it before cautiously retreating.
Chen Mu's gaze followed the priest's departure.
"No matter what kind of environment gives birth to what kind of life, as long as they have wisdom, they can gradually explore their own path of survival, adapting to, utilizing, and controlling their environment..."
Chen Mu pondered for a moment, then subconsciously summoned the system panel for a glance.
[Origin Path: Creation (Entrance)]
[Experience: 268 points]
"Hmm, accumulating quite fast."
Chen Mu recalled that his previous experience in the Creation Path was only around 150 points. Now, by merely approaching a world and observing its internal life forms, he had gained a substantial amount of experience in a short time.
But soon, Chen Mu noticed something amiss.
"Wait a moment."
He tried to open the Creation Path interface, and instantly, the familiar five fundamental mysteries of the Creation Path appeared before him.
Simultaneously,
Below each fundamental mystery, detailed experience data was displayed.
[Life]
[Experience: 29 points]
...
[Ten Thousand Spirits]
[Experience: 58 points]
...
[Creation]
[Experience: 151 points]
...
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
[Cause and Effect]
[Experience: 3 points]
...
[Various Forms]
[Experience: 27 points]
...
The total experience accumulated from these five fundamental mysteries equaled the 268 points shown on the main Creation Path interface.
Each fundamental mystery of the Origin Path required 10,000 points of experience to master, and this experience had to be earned within the corresponding branch. Chen Mu had already discovered this, and it was not surprising.
After all, different fundamental mysteries were like distinct attributes within the Eight Trigrams, and one couldn't expect to gain experience in the Qian Heaven lineage and use it to advance the Kun Earth lineage. The system panel, while powerful, adhered to precise rules.
Chen Mu recalled that the over one hundred points of experience he had accumulated previously were mainly from 'Creation'.
This was because after his attempt to break through to the Divine Realm, he had tried to create a world within his body, even including the Heavenly Palace in the Great Xuan World that he created, altering the rules of heaven and earth. These were all part of the 'Creation' process, and the experience he accumulated was primarily in the Creation Path. Therefore, his experience in the Creation Path was currently the most.
However, when it came to Life and Ten Thousand Spirits Paths, he remembered that previously, he had accumulated more experience in the Life Path.
Now, after briefly studying the life forms in this Medium Realm, the experience he accumulated in the Life Path was surpassed by the Ten Thousand Spirits Path. This indicated that his previous observations and insights were more related to the Ten Thousand Spirits aspect.
The System Panel should not have any issues.
Chen Mu thought about it and realized that his previous enlightenment was about the wisdom of all living beings. All living beings could utilize their wisdom to harness the power of their environment, and the reason they possessed wisdom was due to the Ten Thousand Spirits Mystery.
"The connection between Life and Ten Thousand Spirits is indeed very close. If I want to merge these two fundamental mysteries, it should be easier than merging any other two."
Chen Mu pondered in his heart.
However, merging mysteries was not something he needed to consider at the moment. Even the System Panel didn't show how much experience was required to merge mysteries, clearly indicating that he needed to master at least two complete mysteries before initiating this process.
His original intention was to research life, but instead, he gained enlightenment about the wisdom of Ten Thousand Spirits, which made Chen Mu shake his head and smile. Nonetheless, this kind of harvest wasn't entirely useless.
After all,
The third layer of the Spirit Birth Divine Art required him to thoroughly understand the Ten Thousand Spirits Mystery.
While contemplating the Life Mystery, he could also accumulate experience in the Ten Thousand Spirits Path, which was quite beneficial.
...
Just as Chen Mu's Divine Energy Incarnation was contemplating the Life Mystery.
Great Xuan World.
Chen Mu's Interface Clone stood tall in the sky, overlooking the entire Great Xuan World.
While the Divine Energy Incarnation was studying different life forms in various worlds to comprehend the Life Mystery, the Interface Clone could naturally study life and comprehend the Life Mystery in the Great Xuan World.
After the Interface Clone underwent the tempering of Creation Power and synchronized its strength with the Divine Energy Incarnation, Chen Mu further imparted the Great Dream Heart-Nourishing Technique he had researched to more familiar individuals, including Qin Mengjun, Chu Jingsu, and Meng Danyu, among others.
"The impact of my breakthrough this time is quite significant."
Chen Mu's gaze shifted towards the direction of the Seven Mysteries Sect.
Half a month had passed since his Interface Clone completed its synchronization with the Divine Energy Incarnation, and during this short period, multiple Bone Marrow Refinement Grandmasters in the Great Xuan World had entered the Blood Exchange Realm! Chen Mu wasn't surprised by this, as the overall concentration of Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy in the Great Xuan World had increased. In the secret domains of various sects, the use of array formations to condense Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy resulted in even more noticeable amplification.
Within the Seven Mysteries Sect, the existence of the Heaven Earth Mysterious Origin Map naturally led to a higher concentration of Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy compared to the outside world. Now, due to the influence of the entire Great Xuan World, the concentration of Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy within the sect increased by about three to four times!
This effect was naturally very evident.
Many Grandmasters and Blood Exchange Masters in the Seven Mysteries Sect who were contemplating the Primordial Map and the Heaven Earth Mysterious Origin Map thought that the sect had made some innovations to the grand array, causing such changes, and they didn't think much of it. They didn't even feel overly envious.
With Chen Mu's presence in the Seven Mysteries Sect, it could be said that the sect commanded the resources of the world, and wherever its influence reached, none dared to defy. It was even more awe-inspiring than the most prosperous era of the Great Xuan Court. A slight improvement in the array formation was insignificant.
Of course.
The Celestial beings could still sense that this change wasn't limited to the Seven Mysteries Sect but seemed to encompass the entire Great Xuan World. However, regardless of the reason, such a change was undoubtedly beneficial, so no one delved further into it.
In reality, compared to the advancement in cultivation realms, the increase in Heavenly-Earth Primordial Energy concentration brought more benefits in terms of faster Martial Body cultivation efficiency. Those who had just entered the Bone Marrow Refinement Realm could now cultivate their Martial Bodies to perfection in a shorter time.
Furthermore,
They could also temper their Martial Bodies to a stronger level than before, establishing a more solid foundation.
Then there were the Blood Exchange Masters. In the past, limited by heaven and earth, most of them stopped at Minor Blood Transformation Mastery, with only the Master of Tianhu Island achieving Major Blood Transformation Mastery. Now, Major Blood Transformation Mastery was no longer a hurdle, and as long as they had enough time to cultivate, they could take this step, which was undoubtedly a significant benefit for them.
