[Mysteries Fusion: Life—All Spirits]

[Experience: 1999 points]

Once Chen Mu fully comprehended the Life Profound Mystery and the Mysteries of All Spirits, the Mysteries Fusion section opened on the system panel.

However, after spending some time attempting to fuse the Life Profound Mystery with the Mysteries of All Spirits, Chen Mu found that the fusion progress was stuck at 1999 Experience Points, unable to advance further.

To completely fuse the Life Profound Mystery with the Mysteries of All Spirits requires a total of 100,000 Experience Points!

Yet, on the path of Mysteries Fusion, Chen Mu had only accumulated 1999 points and could no longer gain Experience, despite spending several Boundary Years without any progress.

This was the first time he encountered a so-called ’bottleneck’ since obtaining the system panel, but Chen Mu understood clearly that it was not a bottleneck, rather that the fusion of Mysteries is different from comprehending the Mysteries themselves.

Within the Endless Void, the vast Universe, Mystical insights are omnipresent and can be comprehended everywhere, but Mysteries Fusion is different; very few parts can be directly sensed and comprehended from the Universe; most require personal insight.

The Experience from the system panel never generates out of thin air.

He must have a clear direction to continually accumulate Experience. In essence, he himself must make ’progress’ in cultivation, and the system consistently significantly amplifies such ’progress’.

Just like when practicing martial arts, refining the Physique, the system never rewarded Experience out of nowhere. It required him to use various resources and consume various Spiritual Objects to convert their Medicinal Power into Experience, which then worked on him.

Comprehending the Qiankun Eight Phases, and even comprehending the Origin Dao, works in the same way. He must achieve these understandings himself for the system panel to convert them into Experience and accumulate, eventually allowing him to cross boundaries in a single leap.

Therefore, the premise for obtaining Experience from the system panel is that one’s cultivation direction must have progress.

Even if just a tiny bit of insight is gained, as long as there is any progress, the system panel will continue to accumulate Experience as usual, unless completely fixed in a certain state, unable to obtain any deeper insights.

Currently, Chen Mu finds himself in such a state.

After comprehending the Mysteries of All Spirits and mastering the Third Layer of the Spirit Life Divine Method, he quickly realized the difficulty of Mysteries Fusion, which ultimately leads to the Divine Monarch path, a chasm that countless God Realm beings spent long ages yet couldn’t cross!

Chen Mu, relying on his own ability, accumulated some Experience during the comprehension process, but only reached 1999 points.

Though encountering difficulties at this step of Mysteries Fusion, Chen Mu also gained deeper insights into Mysteries Fusion: on the surface, he aimed to fuse just the two Mystical lines of Life and All Spirits, but actually, the Essential Mysterious intricately connects different Origin Dao aspects, making it nearly impossible to fuse these Mystical insights solely by mastering Life and All Spirits.

Completely mastering the Fundamental Mysteries encompassed within one Origin Dao’s five aspects is the genuine starting point for Mysteries Fusion!

Lacking Creation, Causality, and All Forms, even though he thoroughly understood the Life and All Spirits Mystical insights, fusion still remained incomplete because Mysteries Fusion targets a complete retracing of the Creation Dao!

Of course.

Fusing just the Mystical insights of All Spirits and Life is not entirely impossible.

In the resources Chen Mu could exchange within the Fan Gu Palace, he saw some rare items directly targeting Mysteries Fusion, such as ’All Spirits Life Spring’. It’s said that a single drop of spring water contains myriad lives and myriad spirits, drinking one drop immediately provides a direct perception of the fusion between Life and All Spirits Mystical insights, but the effect lasts only one Boundary Year.

And the price of a drop of All Spirits Life Spring reaches an extremely exaggerated level, requiring a full ten thousand Fan Gu Orders!

Considering Chen Mu only has a total of one hundred thousand Fan Gu Orders, exhausting them would only allow him to exchange for ten drops, with effects lasting up to ten Boundary Years. From Chen Mu’s assessment, to fully fuse the Life and All Spirits Mystical insights and accumulate 100,000 Experience Points, solely relying on those ten drops of All Spirits Life Spring is far from enough. At least a hundred drops would be necessary to hope for success.

Thus, Chen Mu chose the task to guard the Dark Sky Abyss.

On one hand, although the Dark Sky Abyss is extremely chaotic, it’s precisely this chaos that almost allows observation of all types of Fundamental Mysteries fusing, including naturally the fusion of Life and All Spirits.

Even if the chaos within the Dark Sky Abyss constantly fluctuates, the rules formed by various Mysteries being fused change unpredictably, yet extended observation can still capture the Fusion Power required for comprehension.

Even if this Fusion Power only briefly appears for an instant, having the observation and reference provides a direction, enabling Chen Mu to accumulate Experience directly from it.

Secondly,

Dark Sky Abyss contains all Origin Dao aspects, including the remaining three from the Creation Lineage: Creation, Causality, and All Forms.

If Chen Mu desires to comprehend the three Mystical insights of Creation, Causality, and All Forms, he can also make gains here; thus, in the process of comprehending Mysteries Fusion, he can simultaneously comprehend these three Mystical insights.

Lastly,

Guarding the Dark Sky Abyss can also earn Fan Gu Orders.
