Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1178: Chapter 577: Exploring the Life Profound Mystery (2)

But the World Venerable said, it is possible!

In the past, Chen Mu might have sneered at this notion, but now, having ascended to the God Realm and as the Master of One Realm, he can faintly perceive the life threads of all living beings. He carefully contemplates and feels that it is indeed not impossible.

For as early as during his martial arts cultivation, he understood a truth: the heavens always leave a path for survival; even the greatest disaster offers a sliver of hope for survival. This understanding is shared by all Grandmasters and those in the Blood Exchange Realm because each has experienced life and death moments and walked out from calamities.

Thus, if expanded upon, all life has a sliver of possibility.

Skin Toughening, Body Refinement, Tendon Changing, Bone Tempering... every step of martial arts cultivation is never absolute. Those with the poorest and most mediocre aptitudes face immense difficulty at each threshold, as arduous as ascending to the heavens, but not impossible.

"But what about those living beings in the small and middle realms?"

Although Chen Mu accepted that all living beings possess all possibilities, he still has some uncertainties. In a Great Realm like Da Xuan World, indeed, any living being has a sliver of possibility, because nothing is absolute, including the threshold of the God Realm.

But in those middle and small realms, how can life break through to the God Realm?

This seems like a dead end.

Chen Mu’s Divine Power True Body is observing a middle realm, according to his assessments, that world can only produce individuals of the Marrow-Cleansing Grandmaster level, making it impossible for anyone to reach the Blood Exchange Realm.

The path of Blood Exchange is blocked, how to ascend to godhood is unimaginable, even for the current Chen Mu.

Although, if pressed, he can indeed imagine something, such as the notion of a system panel. If that middle realm possesses a living being with such a tool, then divine ascension is not impossible, yet this relies on external forces, not self-reliance.

Thinking it over,

Chen Mu still does not know how to break the limits of Heaven and Earth in the middle realm.

"Right, perhaps I can go discuss it with Xunmu."

Chen Mu murmured to himself.

Though Xunmu’s realm is not particularly high, like Chen Mu, at the threshold of Creation Entering Dao, never having truly grasped the Life Profound Mystery, Xunmu’s life essence is high enough, being a living being created by a Creation God and undoubtedly possessing many insights and interpretations on life.

Now, Chen Mu is fully qualified to discuss Dao with Xunmu. If he can learn more about the Life Profound Mystery from Xunmu, it will undoubtedly provide considerable help; at the very least, his Experience Points will certainly grow.

At this thought.

Chen Mu immediately withdrew his gaze, looked out beyond the boundary, and then stepped out toward Xunmu’s location.

...

Meanwhile.

In the distant void, a certain middle realm.

Chen Mu’s Divine Power True Body stands before the Boundary Wall, his gaze penetrating the wall to observe the world inside.

His vision remains on that certain tribe.

At this moment, he sees that elderly tribe’s priest has returned to the pit infused with Earth’s Veins power, using crude methods to temper his body.

Chen Mu carefully observes this scene, and suddenly a thought flickers through his mind.

Buzz!!

Although it’s merely a flickering thought from Chen Mu, now that he’s a God Realm existence, every thought is power. Even this small surge of power causes the middle realm’s Heaven and Earth’s Power to shake dramatically!

The Heaven and Earth’s Will, purely constructed from laws, rouses a surge of Heaven and Earth’s Power, seemingly roaring and resisting against Chen Mu, demanding his immediate departure.

However, Chen Mu does not heed the rejection from Heaven and Earth’s Will; he continues to focus his gaze on the tribe.

At this moment.

The turmoil from Heaven and Earth’s Will causes a slight tremor in the Heaven and Earth’s Power, resulting in a minor disturbance throughout the realm’s interior. The vast surge of Earth’s Veins power also raises some ripples.

And that elderly tribe’s priest, who is meditating in the pit where the Earth’s Veins converge, suddenly lets out a muffled groan, opening his eyes, seemingly suffering backlash, his face turning slightly pale.

With a shocked look, he hurriedly leaps out of the pit, bows down to the Earth’s Veins power within the pit.

His mouth muttering a stream of prayers.

Having stepped into the God Realm, Chen Mu has no barrier in understanding the ordinary language. A mere thought can interpret the meaning of the priest’s prayers, which are essentially pleas for the Divine Spirit’s forgiveness.

Compared to Da Xuan World, this middle realm, inhabited by the underground Dwarf Race, believes firmly in the existence of divine spirits; nearly every tribe has an altar. Everywhere Chen Mu looks, he sees dwarves in underground caves beseeching and praying to the divine spirits, led by priest-like or chieftain-like figures.

After a brief contemplation.

Chen Mu suddenly has a thought and gently waves his hand, sending a flicker of light into the interior of the middle realm.

Boom!

Heaven and Earth’s Will once again expresses its anger toward him.

Chen Mu hardly minds this; he merely chuckles and says, "Do not be angered; me teaching them something might not necessarily be bad for you."

What Chen Mu introduced into the realm was not power but merely a piece of information.

Though information from outside the realm is still rejected by Heaven and Earth’s Will, this rejection is milder, so this piece of information safely crosses the Heavens Vault and lands on Earth.

In the underground cave,

Within a secluded tribe.

The tribe’s priest, continuously observed by Chen Mu, is bowing to the Earth’s Veins, reciting prayers. Suddenly, his movements pause, initially showing a hint of astonishment, followed by ecstatic joy.

The Divine Spirit has responded to him!

Everything they have from birth is granted by the divine spirit; it’s the divine spirit that bestows the power of the Earth’s Veins, allowing them to possess life’s source, thereby pushing away coldness underground, gaining light and food, and enabling survival.

They enjoy the divine spirit’s blessings and naturally pray to and thank the divine spirit daily and nightly.

The will of the divine spirit is inscrutable.

This is what they understand because they have experienced the divine spirit’s fury more than once, which manifests as an earth-shaking power utterly unreachable by living beings, even those legendary deep underground monsters can’t achieve such might.

But this time, he received a clear response from the divine spirit, a response containing information!

The elderly tribe’s priest carefully interprets the divine spirit’s message, then joyfully discovers that it seems to be a method for better utilizing the Earth’s Veins power to become stronger!

In comparison, their cultivation method is so crude that it’s unbearable to look at.

With the divine spirit’s bestowed dharma door, they can become stronger and might be able to achieve enough power to counter the underground monsters when they come attacking, preventing them from becoming food for the monsters!

The elderly tribe’s priest is so ecstatic that he’s almost about to dance, but he forcefully restrains himself, first prostrate there for a round of prayer and chanting, thanking the divine spirit for the gift, continuously praying for an hour, then cautiously retreats.

Chen Mu observes this scene.

In the vast depths of the underground caves dwell many monsters stronger than the Dwarf Race, calling them demons wouldn’t be incorrect. Among them, the strongest can even reach the Seventh Rank!

That’s comparable to the Grandmaster level, also the limits of what this world can achieve. It’s a fire dragon slumbering in the deepest part of the earth’s cave amidst lava.

Chen Mu sees some tribes suffering under monster attacks.

Despite understanding how to utilize the Earth’s Veins power to practice, due to the crude methods, the dwarves from these tribes still become prey for many strong monsters from deep underground.

He casually devised a better method for practicing using the Earth’s Veins power, not because he felt particularly benevolent, but he simply wanted to stir a ripple to further observe this world’s life’s changes.
