Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1217: Chapter 593: Comprehension of All Spirits

Ten boundary years passed in a flash.

At the bottom of the Earthly Abyss, the interface avatar of Chen Mu suddenly opened his eyes. The realm power and creation power that had been continuously surging into his body also stopped and receded in an instant. At this moment, his interface avatar had reached the same level as his true divine power.

"Hoo..."

Chen Mu exhaled a breath.

The increase in the combat power of the interface avatar meant that his foundation was more stable. Now, his interface avatar could shatter the Fifth Layer Heaven with its own power and, with the aid of realm power and Seeking Wood Power, even a Sixth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch would not be feared.

In other words, unless a Divine Monarch personally intervened, the Da Xuan World in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain would no longer face threats.

However, Chen Mu was not at all complacent about such an improvement. After all, the enmity between him and the Demon Clan was real. Even though the Demon Clan was intimidated and repelled by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, they would certainly strike at him given the chance.

The protection of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch was ultimately temporary and could not last a lifetime. Even though the Fan Gu Divine Monarch was a Divine Monarch Overlord at the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, the Endless Void was full of dangers, and there was no guarantee that nothing would happen.

When Chen Mu made acquaintances with other God Realm beings at the Fan Gu Palace, he also learned from them that the Fan Gu Divine Monarch had not appeared for a long time, leading to a gradually unfavorable situation for the Fan Gu Ancient Domain externally. Some even wondered if anything had happened to the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, but it was said that recently the Fan Gu Divine Monarch appeared at the border of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, expelled a Divine Monarch of the Demon Clan, and cleared the gloom.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Mu’s heart was stirred.

He thought of the various strange actions of the Demon Clan, such as forcibly invading the Da Xuan World even though it had already birthed him as the Realm Master. From a benefit perspective, attacking a world with a Realm Master yields little profit. The Demon Clan had no reason to expend such great effort, especially since the Da Xuan World was not a Great Realm of the Ancestral Demon Space Domain but was situated within the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.

Chen Mu vaguely speculated that perhaps the Demon Clan also suspected something had happened to the Fan Gu Divine Monarch and thus used the Da Xuan World as a node to test the Fan Gu Divine Monarch!

In the Endless Void, even among Divine Monarchs, there were confrontations, and peace was never guaranteed.

He and the Da Xuan World were possibly just caught up in the secret confrontations and tests between the existences of Divine Monarchs, almost being wiped out. Fortunately, he still struggled through and gained strong enough power to attract the attention and care of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, and indeed the Fan Gu Divine Monarch did nothing wrong. Otherwise, with any small mishap, he and the Da Xuan World might have already been obliterated into nihility, becoming a tiny, vanishing wave in the long river of history.

This happenstance and coincidence made Chen Mu feel no joy or complacency, even though he had mastered the second layer of the Spirit Life Divine Method with greatly increased power. He knew that everything he had achieved now was still insignificant.

In front of such a powerful force as the Demon Clan and beings like Divine Monarchs, he was still no more than an ant.

At least until the Divine Power True Body reached the Sixth Layer Heaven, he would only have a sliver of capability to save his life. Only upon stepping into the Seventh Layer Heaven could he truly establish a foothold in this vast void.

Chen Mu stood up.

He cast his gaze upward towards the Da Xuan World.

He suddenly closed his eyes, his consciousness merging with the entire Da Xuan World. At this moment, he was the Da Xuan World, and the Da Xuan World was him. Everything within the world integrated into his mind and will.

Buzz!!!

As Chen Mu’s thoughts moved, within the rolling nihility, the Void Force surged mightily, pouring into the boundary wall of the Da Xuan World, which continued to absorb and devour it, and the entire Da Xuan World began to further expand.

As the Realm Master of the Da Xuan World, Chen Mu was the Da Xuan World, and the Da Xuan World was him. His interface avatar underwent a metamorphosis; even if he did nothing, the Da Xuan World would slowly grow and strengthen.

With the abnormal change in the Da Xuan World,

many people also noticed this change. In an instant, pairs of eyes turned towards the Heavens Vault.

"This is..."

Within a grand hall in the Heavenly Palace Realm, Chen Yue, dressed in a clean white robe and sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes. She immediately appeared outside the hall, looking up at the Heavens Vault, her mind penetrating the void to see the outer Da Xuan World.

With the Great Dream Heart Refining Method bestowed by Chen Mu for soul cultivation, along with the many resources he left behind, over the long millennia, she had already perfected the Immortal Soul, and her Immortal Body was now only a step away.

Once she perfected the Immortal Body, she would be able to step into the God Realm at any time.

Such power was rare in the current Da Xuan World, but for Chen Yue, she never felt any complacency about her level of power, because as Chen Mu’s sister, she knew many things beyond the world. She knew that in the vastness beyond the sky, there existed the boundless and endless void, where even God Realm beings were merely starting to step out and explore.

In one world, the God Realm might be the end, but in the vast universe, the God Realm was just the beginning.

"It seems that my brother has made another breakthrough."

Chen Yue observed the changes in the Da Xuan World. After detecting that the changes were a transformation, she was slightly taken aback, and her tense expression relaxed a bit, revealing a faint smile on her face that had not been seen for a long time.

Chen Mu had not appeared in the Da Xuan World for a long time, and even she hadn’t seen Chen Mu for a very long time. According to the timeline of the Da Xuan World, it had been almost a thousand years.

If this were in the past, a thousand years passing by without a glimpse would have been almost unimaginable.

But now, she was gradually getting used to it.

Or one could say that now she too had gained the ability of longevity. With the changes in the Heaven and Earth Rules within the Heavenly Palace, she had cultivated the Immortal Soul, granting her a lifespan that could cross ten thousand years. If she further cultivated the Immortal Body, she could achieve immortality even without breaking through to the God Realm.

And since the Demon Plague, several thousand years had passed in the Da Xuan World.

A thousand years ago, Chen Mu had told them he was going into a long seclusion, perhaps for hundreds or thousands of years. And now, seeing the changes in the Da Xuan World, it was likely that Chen Mu had already emerged and achieved something in cultivation.

Chen Yue observed the transformation process of the Da Xuan World for a while, then smiled slightly, turned back into her palace, closed her eyes, and continued her devoted cultivation.

Despite not having seen each other for a thousand years, causing inevitable nostalgia, she was not in a hurry to seek out Chen Mu.

For a mortal, a thousand years span ten cycles of reincarnation, but for someone on the Immortal Road approaching the God Realm, it was merely a small measure of life. Now she was very close to entering the God Realm herself. She too sought the heart of Martial Arts and the pursuit of immortality, but another aspiration supported her heart: she didn’t want Chen Mu to walk that path alone.

As a mortal martial artist, despite the crises and hardships everywhere, everything was splendid.

And the closer one got to the God Realm, the more mundane, the lonelier, the more solitary it became.

This was something she deeply felt.

Like these thousands of years, apart from those qualified to enter the Heavenly Palace and those with extraordinary talent who had achieved success in their cultivation, the world outside had long changed beyond recognition.

The Seven Profound Sect of that year was now the number one Sacred Land in the Da Xuan World. But for the current Chen Yue, this Sacred Land was unfamiliar; all the elders, all the peak masters were no longer the people of the past.

Only within the Heavenly Palace Realm were there still people she knew, like Chen Mu, Chen Yao, Xu Hongyu, Qin Mengjun... but ultimately, it was just a few people.

After more long years, after thousands or tens of thousands of years, those who couldn’t step into the God Realm among these people would also perish.

The God Realm is immortal, and immortality means loneliness.

But for now, at least she was still here, Xu Hongyu was still here, Chen Yao was still here, Chen Mu too was here, her familiar friends were still here, and she could often visit them to talk and express her state of mind.

...

The transformation of Da Xuan World, Chen Mu only allocated a part of his mind to control it.

Most of his spirit remained on this side of his true self, as he began to comprehend the Mysteries of All Spirits adjacent to life.

All Spirits, all things possess spirit.

During his comprehension of the Life Profound Mystery, Chen Mu always had insights into the Mysteries of All Spirits. Although life itself is interconnected with other mysteries, the blossoming of life symbolizes all forms, its myriad entanglements are causality, its birth is creation, but the closest to life is the Wisdom of All Spirits.

"All living beings possess the Tathagata Wisdom."

Chen Mu’s multiple avatars were attached to multiple worlds, observing various living beings.

Initially, Chen Mu believed the Mysteries of All Spirits were about the origin and foundation of wisdom, but later on, as he delved deeper, he realized these ideas were too superficial, and that the Mysteries of All Spirits were much more than that.

Wisdom is a part of the Mysteries of All Spirits, but All Spirits are not synonymous with wisdom. The term ’spirit’ not only depicts wisdom but also signifies hope, the hope for all living beings to strive upward.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Mysteries of All Spirits that beings born in the mortal world can, through their wisdom, gradually cultivate until they ascend to the God Realm and tread the path of immortality.

Without the existence of the Mysteries of All Spirits, all beings, regardless of wisdom, would be cut off from everything above and below. Those born in the God Realm would forever remain there, and those born in the mortal world would forever be mortal, with no chance to cross that boundary.

Thus, among the many branches of the Mysteries of All Spirits, not only does it contain wisdom itself, but also concepts such as transformation and progress, fundamentally forming the Essential Mysterious of the Creation Dao as supreme as life itself.

Chen Mu’s method of comprehending the Mysteries of All Spirits was to traverse between many worlds, exploring the transformations of various beings.

Having mastered the Life Profound Mystery and cultivated to the Second Layer of the Spirit Life Divine Method, his Divine Power True Body became stronger, allowing him to split into more Divine Power Avatars. No longer limited to a few, he could now create dozens of Divine Power Avatars, simultaneously exploring dozens of different worlds, with thousands upon thousands of different intelligent beings.

Through such methods, Chen Mu’s experience with the lineage of all spirits was rapidly accumulating.
