Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1142: Chapter 561: Inner World (Part 2)

Of course, within the endless universe, for the nearly infinite living beings, entering the God Realm is something that is often as rare as one in billions, to be born immortal is a dream many yearn for.

Chen Mu quickly gathered his thoughts.

Boom!

With a thought, he no longer maintained the vast Cave Heaven within him, causing most of the Cave Heaven areas to rapidly collapse and shatter, leaving only a small world about a thousand miles in radius.

By shrinking the range of the Cave Heaven in his body by ten times, he immediately felt much relieved. Under the full force of the Creation Power’s nurturing, the Cave Heaven within him quickly transformed, mountains and rivers flowed, everything came to life.

Until a certain point.

Life was born.

This was a primitive living being, considered innately born, and it was inherently very powerful, with a life tier comparable to a Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon, but it was very bewildered, almost devoid of complete awareness.

When a thought from Chen Mu descended and touched it, it instinctively emitted an emotion of awe, crawling on the ground towards Chen Mu, trembling with a fear to move.

This is life’s instinct in facing its creator.

Chen Mu studied this living being for a moment, but saw its wisdom was even less than that of the low-rank demons in the Da Xuan World, and soon lost interest, letting it wander in this world.

Watching this wandering being, a thought suddenly rose in Chen Mu’s mind, if this being could continually cultivate and grow stronger, ultimately breaking the bonds of heaven and earth...could it also become a God Realm being?!

The answer undoubtedly was yes!

In this Cave Heaven world, his will was the heaven and earth, he could in a single thought extinguish all beings, and the rules he set, no living being could defy.

And breaking the bonds of heaven and earth means breaking through his rules, transcending from under his will to become a truly free being, to achieve this, there is no doubt that one must cultivate into the God Realm!

Chen Mu raised his head.

His gaze moved away from the world within him, casting towards the Da Xuan World.

Essentially, for the being born from the Cave Heaven within him, to continually cultivate and strengthen, ultimately breaking through the bonds of heaven and earth, was no different in essence from when he cultivated martial arts in the Da Xuan World to ultimately achieve the God Realm.

It’s just that the will of the Da Xuan World lacks the emotions that living beings possess, more like a product of rules, it doesn’t suppress those trying to break its bonds, it just operates by its rules.

"Breaking the bonds..."

Chen Mu slightly shook his head.

Only after truly taking that step did he realize why in an uncivilized world, one must train both soul heart and physique to the utmost, rely on one’s own ability to step into the God Realm, to break through heaven and earth bonds.

Actually, what’s breaking the bonds of heaven and earth isn’t ’one’s own ability’, but the supreme rule of the endless universe!

Only by training the soul heart and physique to the utmost and thus impacting the God Realm, can one gain the recognition of the supreme rule and be granted the power of the Origin River, only the power of the Origin River can wash away all shackles!

Just like a person cannot lift themselves.

Only by relying on the supreme rule, relying on this external force of the Origin River, can one transcend heaven and earth.

As for worlds where the God Realm has already been attained, it becomes easier... because the first being to break the bonds of heaven and earth and transcend the world is capable of rewriting that world’s heaven and earth rules!

Chen Mu only understood this after entering the God Realm, completely breaking the bonds of heaven and earth, that for an uncivilized world, the first being to break the bonds gains benefits that are not only a portion of divine power granted by the supreme rule.

However,

rewriting the rules of heaven and earth is not something urgent.

Chen Mu knows this is not something that can be completed casually, just like the Cave Heaven he opened within himself contains the intertwined power of the Void Dao and Creation Dao, forming a complete set of heaven and earth rules.

These heaven and earth rules can’t be rewritten as easily as a paintbrush on a whim, but require careful research and scrutiny before attempting to change them, arbitrary alterations could lead to extremely severe consequences, possibly even causing all life in the world to vanish instantly isn’t impossible.

Just like the Cave Heaven world within him.

Under Chen Mu’s deliberate nurturing, more than ten innate beings were born one after another, some strong, some weak, some in harmony, others in conflict and confrontation.

But with a single thought from Chen Mu, gently nudging the operating rules of this world, all the beings instantly froze in place, then quickly disintegrated, all ceasing to exist.

"After stepping into the God Realm, life to me, after all, is different."

Watching these lives born from the Cave Heaven within him wither away in an instant, Chen Mu felt a moment of reflection.

Many years ago, when he first arrived at the Da Xuan World, although everything centered on survival, he still had a relatively clear concept of ’good and evil’, but as time went on, and as he slowly grew stronger, these concepts all faded.

And now,

after stepping into the God Realm, this is even more so.

Even though he had long ago clarified his own will, not wanting to lose himself on the road of growing stronger, upon achieving the God Realm, the change in mindset wasn’t a loss, but an upgrade in the essence of life.

The Cave Heaven he casually opened within himself, all the beings within he could in a thought make perish, in a thought revive.

While in the Da Xuan World, though the birth of the Human Race was through the complex evolution of heaven and earth rules, the process and structure were terribly cumbersome, but with his current capabilities, it wasn’t impossible to slowly shape them.

When possessing the power of creation in a thought and destruction in a thought, life and death in his eyes were but fleeting moments.

However.

Chen Mu did not linger in this emotion for long, he soon calmed his mind, then a thought flashed through, causing the Cave Heaven world he created to rapidly collapse.

Though he had already reduced the Cave Heaven world within him to a thousand-mile radius, bearing such a large Cave Heaven with his Divine Power True Body was still inevitably causing some influence, slightly sluggish.

This time, Chen Mu directly annihilated ninety-nine percent of the Cave Heaven world within, leaving only a small space about a thousand feet in size, feeling the impact on him was insignificant, then stopped.

Afterwards.

He took out the Qiankun Bottle he had used for many years and threw everything inside into the space within his body.

Finally, he was left with only three divine weapons in his hand, a Void Dao’s Flying Cone, a Creation Dao’s Divine Ruler, and a Time Dao’s lampstand, these are three divine weapons he deliberately seized from the Source Land.

"I wonder what tier my current strength has reached, could I... break the Fourth Layer Heaven?"

Chen Mu looked at the three divine weapons, a glimmer of light flickered in his eyes.

The God Realm doesn’t have specific realm divisions, only measured by pure strength level, breaking through several layers of void equates to several layers of heaven, and the first three layers of the void are the shallow layer, also the easiest to break through.

One portion of divine power can break through one layer of void.

Three portions of divine power can break through the second layer of void.

Nine portions of divine power can break through the third layer of void.

This is roughly the division of strength for the first three layers of heaven, seemingly with a three-fold difference, but actually quite easy to cross.

Even with only one foundation of divine power, as long as one has profound comprehension of a certain Origin Dao, and holds a corresponding divine weapon, one can roughly break the second layer of heaven, and if some secret techniques are honed, reaching the third layer of heaven isn’t impossible.

But the fourth layer of the void, however, belongs to the mid-layer range of the void, breaking through this layer can be said to greatly increase in difficulty!

Chen Mu also isn’t clear on the exact gap between the Fourth Layer Heaven and the Third Layer Heaven, but he knows, a Second Layer True God facing a Third Layer True God, even if unable to win, often can escape unscathed, but a Third Layer facing a Fourth Layer, escaping is quite difficult!

Such a huge power gap makes those above Fourth Layer Heaven in the God Realm, their status distinctly different, in any space domain they can be considered big figures, capable of dominating a region, establishing influence, and ruling over multiple Great Realms.

Chen Mu knows that his strength undoubtedly starts at the Third Layer Heaven, but how strong precisely he can become, he hasn’t a concept yet.

However, in the endless universe, knowing one’s strength level is all too easy.

The void itself is the best reference.

Swish!

Chen Mu stepped forward, his entire person vanished directly from the bottom of the Earthly Abyss in the Da Xuan World, taking one step outside the Da Xuan Realm, into the vast boundless endless void.

Then he continued to walk further, until penetrating deep into the void, the Da Xuan World behind him had become a tiny light point, only then did he stop.

"Let’s give it a try."

Chen Mu looked toward the void in front of him.
