Chapter 623: Infinity
Chapter 623: Infinity
In the past, Chen Mu, from the remote regions of Vanggu Void, had to travel to the Central Vanggu Realm, spending some time on the journey. After all, the Vanggu Realm was also known for its vast expanse.
But now, Chen Mu had stepped into the Seventh Heaven, achieving the rank of Divine Lord. His speed of teleportation within the void was naturally far beyond the comprehension of ordinary beings. Even though his understanding of the Void Lineage wasn't exceptionally deep, Hong Lin, who specialized in the Void Lineage, couldn't compare to his speed of traversing the void.
Not long after,
Chen Mu's Divine Energy Incarnation quietly arrived at the Vanggu Palace.
Without alerting anyone, his Divine Energy Incarnation silently entered the Vanggu Palace and proceeded to its depths, where he sat in meditation, gazing at the surrounding void.
With a slight thought, the void nearby suddenly rippled, revealing intricate patterns within what seemed like an empty void. These patterns were imprinted in the depths of the void, as if they were inherently part of it. Just a glance was enough to perceive the endless mysteries contained within.
"The Upper Divine Armament of the Void Lineage is indeed extraordinary. These Mystic Powers are interconnected, and when activated, they show almost no flaws. All the Void Mysteries are condensed into a single line, yet they transform into a palace-like form, integrating attack and defense into one..."
Chen Mu felt the profound mysteries within the Vanggu Palace, and the deeper he sensed, the more profound it became.
After all, this was a Divine Armament personally refined by Vangu Divine Lord, the Peerless Deity Lord of the Eighth Heaven Apex. The mysteries within it were so profound that even a Seventh Heaven Divine Lord of the Void Lineage would be shocked and gain insights from it, let alone Chen Mu, who hadn't fully comprehended all five fundamental mysteries of the Void Lineage.
As he experienced the mysteries of the Vanggu Palace, he naturally felt its unfathomable depth.
Unconsciously,
Chen Mu became immersed in his meditation.
In the Divine Realm, the concept of time was irrelevant, and in just a moment of silence, several dozen World Years had passed.
When Chen Mu regained his senses from his immersion, he still felt a bit dazed. Only after he calmed his mind did he reveal a look of slight enlightenment. Then, with a thought, he summoned the System Panel.
【Interception】
【Experience: 10,000 points】
Chen Mu quickly found the section for the Void Lineage on the System Panel. Among the entire Void Lineage cultivation, the three fundamental mysteries of Splitting, Consolidation, and Expansion had already turned into bright, glowing hues, leaving only Interception and Infinite with dull colors. However, the experience accumulation for Interception had astonishingly reached ten thousand! Chen Mu didn't rush to master Interception but took another look at the fifth and final mystery of the Void Lineage, Infinite.
【Infinite】
【Experience: 3,721 points】
The 'Infinite' mystery of the Void had accumulated a substantial amount of experience, totaling over three thousand points.
Previously, Chen Mu had been contemplating the Void mysteries, focusing on Splitting, Consolidation, Expansion, and Interception. He hadn't yet started truly contemplating 'Infinite,' resulting in minimal experience accumulation.
But now, after coming to the Vanggu Palace and contemplating the Void mysteries within, in just a few dozen World Years, he not only gathered enough experience for Interception but also gained a significant amount for the 'Infinite' mystery.
"The efficiency is indeed high."
Chen Mu couldn't help but silently agree.
After all, the Vanggu Palace was an Upper Divine Armament, and one could even deduce the secrets of Mystic Fusion from it. By contemplating only the most basic five fundamental mysteries, the process was naturally efficient and highly productive.
Chen Mu didn't think too much and, with sufficient experience in Interception, he naturally used the System Panel to directly attempt to master the Void mysteries.
As his thought moved, a golden light flashed across the System Panel. Immediately, in Chen Mu's vision, the void, which had been a unified whole, including the Vanggu Palace, began to unravel before him, layer by layer, until only the 'Interception' form remained.
What Chen Mu saw in his vision was a void resembling a thousand-layered cake.
"Interception... So, this is how it works..."
As he witnessed the essence of Interception revealed by the System Panel, Chen Mu's heart couldn't help but surge with amazement.
If one were to ask how many layers the void had, most cultivators in the Divine Realm would answer nine.
The nine layers of the void corresponded to the Nine Heavens of the Divine Realm. Breaking through the last layer of the void meant reaching its end, or its origin, where the Primordial Dao resided, the starting point of all things. This was the consensus among most cultivators.
Even Chen Mu himself held this belief. During his breakthrough to the Divine Realm, he had witnessed the power of the Primordial River piercing through the Nine Heavens, drawing strands of primordial force into his body, sculpting a perfect divine body. At that time, the shattered void he saw had only nine layers, and beyond them was a dazzling world, no longer pitch-black, but filled with endless brilliance, akin to a celestial realm.
But now, the System Panel revealed one of the essences of the void, the Interception mystery, and the entire world Chen Mu perceived changed. He saw beyond the nine layers of the void, reaching its origin!
In that place, there was no Creation Power nor Time Force. Everything except for 'Interception' was stripped away, and what Chen Mu saw was the sole essence of 'Interception.' He witnessed the so-called Primal Ground, deep within the nine layers of the void, filled with countless layers of void.
Here, the void was both layered and layerless, as if all these Interception voids existed on the same plane.
This Interception even continuously bent and transformed, making the void resemble flowing river water, shimmering with wave-like radiance. It was a scene beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, transcending their dimensions.
"Interception... Infinite..."
Chen Mu was not only shocked by the layers of void beyond the nine layers, the ever-changing void in the Primal Ground, but also by the boundless nature of the void. From the vision he saw, he even perceived the mysteries of 'Infinite.'
Just like the Creation Lineage, with its branches of Life, Ten Thousand Souls, Creation, Causality, and Various Forms, which seem different on the surface but are intricately connected at their core, the Void Lineage is no different.
Splitting, Consolidation, Expansion, Interception, and Infinity.
These five different Mystic Profundities all point to the same essence of the Void.
At this moment, Chen Mu even recalled the time he had comprehended the Mystics of Splitting and Consolidation, the images the System Panel displayed for him then, now vividly reappearing in his mind.
The splitting of the Void is infinite, forming countless void domains in the universe.
The consolidation of the Void is also infinite, vast and boundless, where the endless power of the Void can converge into a single point. Because everything that is destroyed returns to the one, and from the one, everything is reborn—this is the essence of consolidation.
The expansion of the Void is infinite as well. The Vangu Expanse and the Ancestral Demon Domain, though seemingly adjacent, have nearly infinite gaps between them, even if they are close in space.
Leaving aside limited voids like the Dark Abyss, the Crimson Sands River is immeasurably vast, connecting to dozens or even hundreds of void domains deep in the void. This is the infinite expansion.
Similarly, the interception of the Void is also infinite. In the Primal Ground, at the deepest layer of the Void, there is infinite interception.
Furthermore,
At this moment, as Chen Mu comprehended the essence of the Void presented by the System Panel, he gained an even more peculiar perspective. The five Mystic Profundities of the Void Lineage are all aspects of the Void's essence, and interception is one of them. Could it be that from another special perspective of the Void, everything in the endless universe, all void domains and secret realms, are also interceptions?
In essence, the entire universe still exists on an infinitely small point. Within this point, the Void undergoes infinite changes of splitting, consolidation, interception, and so on, giving rise to the infinite.
A point is everything, one is all, and there is no boundary between the infinite and the finite.
Chen Mu vaguely felt that he had grasped some profound truth, the deepest essence of the Void Dao, but this feeling vanished in an instant, and no matter how hard he searched, he could not capture it again.
This made Chen Mu feel a sense of melancholy as he gazed at the infinitely overlapping Void before him.
Everything originates from a single point, but perhaps nothing has ever left that point. He vaguely felt that his idea might be correct, that this might be the essence of the endless universe, but an idea alone is not enough.
The power of the Dao that beings in the Divine Realm possess is not something that can be grasped merely by having an idea. Understanding all the fundamental Mystics is just the foundation, while the step-by-step fusion of these Mystics is the process of solidifying and building upon that foundation.
Just like constructing a tower, one must accumulate bricks and build layer by layer, eventually climbing to the top to overlook the entire universe. Only then can one truly master the complete Primordial Dao and become a Path Sovereign who overlooks the universe.
A mere thought is far from enough. Without a foundation, without a base, and without accumulation, everything is just a vague fantasy. Even if the idea is correct, it must be verified step by step to truly achieve the Dao.
Swish.
Chen Mu quickly reined in his thoughts, no longer pondering the illusory essence of the universe, and focused all his energy on the 'Interception' Mystic Profound Mystery presented before him, gradually comprehending and absorbing it.
Time passed, and the layers of the Void's essence in Chen Mu's vision gradually faded and disappeared. The other distractions stripped away by the System Panel returned, and his vision once again revealed the Vangu Expanse, the Vangu Realm, and finally the Vangu Palace.
He was still seated in the depths of the Vangu Palace, surrounded by the intricate patterns of the Void Lineage.
"Phew."
Chen Mu let out a gentle breath.
He had thoroughly mastered the Interception Mystic Profound Mystery. Now, he had comprehended four out of the five Mystic Profundities of the Void Lineage, leaving only the 'Infinity' Mystic Profound Mystery.
But this was not the most important thing. The most important was that through this deep comprehension, he had gained a deeper understanding and insight into the Void Lineage. He even had a vague sense of direction for the fusion of the Void Mystics!
It wasn't that his talent for the Void Lineage was particularly high.
This was due to the System Panel, which allowed him to see the images that pointed directly to the essence of the Void, and the deep comprehension of the Void Mystics contained within the Vangu Palace. Combined with his macro-level understanding of the universe, all these elements converged to form a spark of insight, giving him a vague sense of the heavenly path of the Void Lineage.
This insight alone could not guarantee a smooth path to the end of the Void Dao, but he had more than just this spark of insight. He also had the greatest aid in his cultivation: the System Panel!
The System Panel accumulates experience points as long as there is a clear direction and progress in cultivation. Once enough experience is accumulated, it can be used to directly break through the current bottleneck and advance to the next level.
Without a direction, experience cannot be accumulated.
Previously, when he was comprehending the fusion of Mystics, he often encountered obstacles because he had no direction, leading to continuous bottlenecks and no gain in experience points. It was only after he understood the essence of the Dao, first mastering the fundamental Mystics of the Creation Dao, and then using that as a foundation to further study the Dark Abyss, that he gradually accumulated experience in the fusion of Mystics. He eventually completed the fusion of the Life Mystery and the Ten Thousand Spirits Mystic, breaking through the Seventh Heaven and reaching the Divine Lord Rank.
Now that he had a direction for the Void Lineage, it meant that his comprehension of the Void Lineage could indeed lead him to the end of the Dao.
"Should I change my cultivation path to the Void Lineage...?"
Chen Mu's mind flashed with this thought.
Actually, at this point, there was no real need for a change in cultivation path. All paths lead to the essence, and cultivating any path would ultimately lead to the same height.
Chen Mu quickly shook his head slightly, not making a decision at this moment. Instead, he focused his gaze on the Void mystic patterns around him in the Vangu Palace and continued to comprehend the final 'Infinity' Mystic Profound Mystery of the Void Lineage.
Even if he were to choose a new cultivation path, he would first need to thoroughly comprehend the fundamental Mystics of the Void Lineage, see how efficiently he could fuse the Mystics, and then make a judgment.
