Chapter 708: The Position of the Void Sovereign
Chapter 708: The Position of the Void Sovereign
"This is the Great Way Sovereign."
Chen Mu felt his current state and murmured to himself.
At this moment, he felt as if he had attained an almost omnipotent supreme power. His gaze swept across the entire universe, and there was no place that could escape his sight. His vision could penetrate the endless void.
With a mere thought, he could appear anywhere in the universe. Whether it was the edge of the universe, the central Shiyuan Kongyu, or the Endless Abyss, no place could hinder his steps.
No,
More accurately, his true body no longer existed.
Ever since he had completely comprehended the Void Dao and attained enlightenment by merging his will with the Great Way, the concept of a 'physical body' no longer applied to him. He had become a part of the Void Dao.
Because he had become a part of the supreme and ultimate Great Way, the source of all things, he had truly achieved immortality. Unless his will gradually withered and was eroded by the Great Way over the long cycle of the universe, no external force could cause his downfall.
With a single thought, he could appear anywhere in the universe and manifest any arbitrary Void incarnation.
Whether it was the Nine Heavens Deus or the San Mao Da Wan Yuan, in the face of the Supreme Power of the Great Way Sovereign, they were like ants. If he wished, he could, with a single thought, traverse the endless void and annihilate a San Mao Da Wan Yuan existence.
If he were to describe his current feeling, it would be like viewing the entire universe as a painting on a plane, and the Great Way Sovereign would be like a figure emerging halfway out of the painting, with their life realm reaching a higher dimension.
However,
They were only emerging halfway, and they hadn't truly stepped out of that painting, transcending this universe.
Even the most powerful Yuan-Shi Chamber Master, Hunyuan Lord, and the other four top Sovereigns had never stepped out of this painting. They had only emerged with a little more of their bodies, almost half of their bodies.
"This vast universe is indeed as I imagined."
Chen Mu once again lowered his gaze from above the Nine Heavens, where the Prime Source descended, and saw through the entire endless universe.
Just as he had once comprehended the universe, this universe was indeed vast and endless, giving birth to countless empty thrones. But if it was small, it was indeed tiny, existing only within a 'microcosm'.
Compared to ordinary sentient beings or even the existence of Shenjun, the vast universe was indeed boundless. But for a half-body to break free from the universe and reach a higher life dimension, this universe was very small for a Sovereign.
At this moment,
Chen Mu could see that this endless universe was gradually collapsing. At the edge, almost every moment, there were worlds being destroyed, domains shattering, and empty thrones crumbling.
This collapse was guided by the supreme rules formed by the convergence of three Prime Source Daos. Even as a Great Way Sovereign, he couldn't stop the universe from heading towards annihilation. However, having achieved union with the Great Way, the universe's annihilation wouldn't affect him. He would witness the universe's destruction and the opening of the next universe.
The elevation of the life realm was an experience beyond words.
The leap from Shenjun to Great Way Sovereign was almost more extraordinary than the transition from the mundane to the Divine Realm. Ordinary beings entering the Divine Realm only transformed their physical bodies into bodies of strength and their lifemarks into divine essence.
But upon achieving the Great Way Sovereign, the concept of 'divine essence' no longer applied. He had transcended existence and nothingness, matter and creation, and time and space.
At this moment,
Chen Mu looked down upon the world, gazing at the endless universe. He felt that countless worlds were like stars, and all sentient beings were so beautiful and magnificent. Nothing could block his sight, and all he could perceive was the ultimate beauty.
Although this universe was heading towards decay, it couldn't hide its beauty. However, only by attaining the supreme Great Way Sovereign could one truly appreciate the universe's beauty from such a perspective.
Just as Chen Mu was admiring the universe and its myriad beings from the Prime Source River, high above the Nine Heavens, another presence approached him.
"Congratulations, fellow cultivator, for transcending the cycle of life and death and attaining the Void Dao body."
The first to appear was a hazy shadow, within which a simple-looking Daoist emerged. He laughed and bowed to Chen Mu, saying, "My name is 'Wuliang'. Greetings, fellow cultivator Chen."
Chen Mu, with a thought, manifested a body wearing a simple blue robe and returned the greeting, "Greetings, fellow cultivator Wuliang."
"Hahaha! The world has gained another Great Way Sovereign. Chen Tianzun has attained the position of the Void Sovereign, a feat that astonishes the world. I, Yuan Hong, congratulate Chen Tianzun."
With another burst of laughter, another figure appeared in his sight, sitting atop a Seven-Colored Lotus Platform, their body enveloped in the radiance of the Great Way, making their specific appearance indiscernible.
Chapter: The Path of the Supreme
"Yuan Hong Tianzun."
Chen Mu faced yet another Great Way Sovereign, returning the greeting with a respectful bow.
At the level of Great Way Sovereign, one transcends the universe, and thus, the titles and greetings among them are often casual. Some, like Wuliang Sovereign, address each other as 'Dao Xiong' (Way Brother), while others use the title 'Tianzun' (Celestial Overlord) or simply 'Zun Zhe' (Venerable One).
After Chen Mu's achievement as a Great Way Sovereign, his past history merged into the Great Way, becoming untraceable. However, for other Great Way Sovereigns, knowing Chen Mu's past titles and names is not difficult.
"Hehehe, Chen Zun, this seat pays its respects."
In the dim and hazy darkness, another figure appeared, shrouded in a pitch-black robe, his entire person hidden in the shadows, yet he didn't give off an evil vibe. Instead, an aura of majestic grandeur rose around him, indicating another Great Way Sovereign.
He chuckled and slightly cupped his hands towards Chen Mu, saying, "It turns out that I and Chen Zun have some causal connection. Chen Zun, in the past, unintentionally lent me a helping hand."
"Hmm?"
Chen Mu looked at Wuliang Tianzun, first returning the greeting with a bow, and then, after hearing Wuliang Tianzun's words, he was slightly surprised. But after a glance at Wuliang Tianzun, he immediately understood the reason.
Chen Mu patted his palms and smiled, saying, "It's all causal encounters, Wuliang Dao Xiong, no need to thank me."
Back then, in Wuxiang City, he encountered a Venerable-class beast. He exerted all his strength, not to hold on and survive, nor to buy more time for Wuliang Tianzun, but to explore as much as possible the methods of the Venerable-level, to accumulate more for his own understanding of the Great Way. However, Wuliang Tianzun's ability to resolve that beast did have a causal connection with him.
Soon,
Another Great Way Sovereign appeared, a total of more than two hundred, some sent their congratulations through the void, while others manifested an incarnation, personally greeting Chen Mu, showing their friendly intentions and desire to establish connections.
For Chen Mu, who had already achieved the Great Way Sovereign, the concept of 'insufficient clones' didn't exist. Over two hundred Great Way Sovereigns came one after another to offer their congratulations. For those who arrived in person, Chen Mu responded with his own incarnation. For those who sent their greetings through sound transmission, he returned the courtesy in kind.
Those who manifested incarnations to express their friendliness and desire to connect, were mostly new Sovereigns in this universe's cycle of life and death, as well as a small number of Sovereigns born in previous cycles. They mostly achieved the Sovereign realm through the Creation Way, and as Creation Sovereigns, they also wanted to grasp more of the Great Way, taking another step on the path of transcendence.
In each cycle of the universe's life and death, the vast majority achieve enlightenment through the Creation Way.
Chen Mu, who achieved enlightenment through the Void Way, was in the minority. For the multitude of Creation Sovereigns, naturally, they all wanted to connect with Chen Mu, even if they couldn't join hands in the future, there was no harm in discussing the Way together.
Chen Mu didn't resist the intentions of these Great Way Sovereigns to connect, and now that he had reached this step, he also planned to explore the Time and Creation Ways, and to discuss the Way with the numerous Creation Sovereigns, which would only bring benefits.
At the same time,
In the world of Great Proclamation.
That towering immortal mountain temple, located in the central Upper Realm of the Great Xuan, had now disappeared without a trace.
Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and others, all gazed at the high heavens. Despite knowing in their hearts that Chen Mu should have attained enlightenment and achieved the Great Way Sovereign realm, at this moment, Chen Mu, along with the immortal mountain temple, had vanished without a trace, and the entire world could no longer sense even a hint of Chen Mu's aura, inevitably causing a hint of unease in their hearts.
After all, no one knew how the path to achieving the Great Way Sovereign was traversed.
"Gugu."
Chen Yao came to Chen Yue's side, her eyes carrying a trace of worry as she looked towards the heavens.
She couldn't help but feel anxious.
Because she was now also a Divine Lord, a Creation Way Divine Lord, and her bloodline was causally connected to Chen Mu. But just now, she felt that all her causal bloodline connections had been severed.
Even with her realm, she couldn't detect a trace of Chen Mu's aura, and she couldn't get in touch with Chen Mu. This situation, where Chen Mu and the immortal mountain temple had disappeared, and there was no sign of return, inevitably made people's hearts uneasy.
"It's nothing."
Chen Yue glanced at Chen Yao and shook her head slightly.
She also gazed at the high heavens, her heart filled with trust in Chen Mu, and not much unease. Because she believed in Chen Mu, always had.
Finally,
In the midst of the silence, a voice quietly came.
"Hongyu, Yue'er..."
Everyone looked up, and in the distance, within the void where the immortal mountain temple had disappeared, Chen Mu's figure appeared, and with a casual wave of his hand, the immortal mountain that had vanished in the light of the Great Way reappeared.
Then,
Chen Mu looked at everyone and revealed a slight smile.
And seeing Chen Mu finally appear, Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and soon all revealed delighted expressions.
