Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1430: Chapter 687: Comprehension_2

Only by truly relying on one’s own ability, comprehending the Great Dao, and cultivating to become a Dao Venerable, can one cross the Universe Silence.

“Let’s try it and see what this Source Stone can actually do.”

Chen Mu put away the numerous Source Stones, leaving only one in his palm. He gently clasped his hands together with the Source Stone between them, channeling his divine power to start refining the Source Stone.

In just a moment, he felt the Source Stone in his palm dissolve, transforming into a strand of mysterious power that merged into his body. At that instant when the mysterious power entered his body, he saw the light!

Endless light!

These radiances are of diverse mysteries, representing all things in the world, including the Light of Creation, the Light of Void, and the Light of Time. They are intertwined and vast like the sea, spreading infinitely from the most primitive point.

Almost instantly, Chen Mu was immersed in them. A boundless comprehension of mysteries surged from the depths of his heart, with one insight after another rising and bursting like bubbles.

“Origin Dao…”

Chen Mu murmured in awe from the bottom of his heart.

He had once witnessed the arrival of the Origin River upon reaching the God Realm. The Origin River is just one manifestation of the Origin Dao, and now, through refining the Source Stone, he glimpsed another form of the Origin Dao.

The Origin Dao is formless and imageless, encompassing all transformations and forms, all laws, all origins, transcending the concepts of form and formlessness, surpassing all things, and at the ultimate end of any extremity, one finds the Origin Dao.

Thus,

After an unknown duration, the light of the Great Dao in his vision finally began to dim gradually, and the countless insights continuously emerging also started to fade, leaving everything in his sight back to darkness, returning to the simple Silent Chamber.

Chen Mu took a deep breath, gradually suppressing the thoughts in his mind, then called forth the system panel.

[Mysteries Fusion: Splitting, Aggregation, Extension, Overlap, Infinite]

[Experience: 3 points]

“It’s working!”

Chen Mu looked at the changes on the system panel and finally revealed a smile.

Before stepping into the Source Realm, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t acquire experience in the fusion of the five mystical elements, but now, utilizing the Source Stone to directly perceive the light of the Great Dao, he finally took the step.

Although three points of experience is very little, and comprehensively achieving the fusion of the five mystical elements requires a full one billion experience points, gaining experience is a crucial step from none to something!

One Source Stone can yield about three points of experience. This time, he gained a total of seventy Source Stones, which equates to roughly over twenty points of experience, and this round of hunting only took a little over a hundred days.

Of course,

The seventy Source Stones cannot all be refined for comprehension. A small portion is needed to replenish the depletion of Origin Power, ensuring prolonged stay within the Source Realm.

Generally, the Origin Power contained in a single Source Stone can sustain a stay in the Source Realm for roughly ten days.

Ordinary Divine Monarchs with Nine Layer Heavens Perfection, like the ones in the Wind Association, would typically gain about twenty to thirty Source Stones from a single hunt that takes more than a hundred days, needing a period to recuperate afterward. Using the Source Stones for Dao comprehension also requires a part of the time, so they barely maintain a long-term stay in the Source Realm.

Those who haven’t reached Nine Layer Heavens Perfection don’t generally qualify for prolonged stays.

Of course,

Each living being can receive the Origin Dao’s grant upon their first three entries into the Source Realm, gaining enough Origin Power for an entire epoch’s stay in the Source Realm, which essentially amounts to a fortune!

If one could directly ‘withdraw’ it, it could be exchanged for millions of Source Stones, translating into tens of millions of experience points!

However, the Origin Power granted by the Origin Dao in him cannot be converted into Source Stones.

Despite that, since he has the assurance of the Origin Dao’s granted Origin Power, he can temporarily not worry about replenishing the depletion of Origin Power.

Like Wind Divine Monarch, Guanglie Divine Monarch, etc., they usually can only maintain a stay of about a thousand days, using any extra Source Stones for refining and cultivation, comprehending the Dao.

Preserving an epoch’s worth of Origin Power is undoubtedly too extravagant; it’s unnecessary.

“If I use all the Source Stones for Dao comprehension, within ten epochs, I could gather the experience needed for the fusion of the five mystical elements. Even accounting for daily consumption, success is hopeful within dozens of epochs. This efficiency is higher than I expected… but this is an ideal scenario. Hunting can yield failures and sometimes result in nothing after more than a hundred days.”

Chen Mu began to estimate and judge in his mind.

Disregarding unexpected situations, the current efficiency is satisfactory to him. In a relatively short time, he can utilize the system panel to glimpse the complete Void Dao and attempt to ascend to the Void Lineage’s Dao Venerable. This cultivation speed and efficiency would drive any Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch in the universe mad.

However, considering unexpected situations, it’s improbable for everything to proceed smoothly every time. Specific outcomes are hard to judge, but what he can actually gain exceeds what he currently sees. After all, he possesses a Perfect Divine Body, reaching Great Perfection in the Void Lineage. If he demonstrates his full strength, he could secure greater rewards from the hunts.

“Ah, right.”

Something else occurred to Chen Mu, prompting another call to the system panel, focusing on the comprehensions of the Time Dao and Creation Dao.

[Mysteries Fusion: Life, All Spirits, All Forms]

[Experience: 170,000 points]

…

[Mysteries Fusion: Life, All Spirits, Causality]

[Experience: 140,000 points]

…

Though he hadn’t checked specific data beforehand, he clearly understood that both the Time Dao and the Creation Dao had seen experience increases in their Mysteries Fusion, and the experiences gained exceeded those from the Void Lineage’s five mystical fusion by far.

After all, refining Source Stones reveals the light of the Great Dao, not limited to the Void Lineage; the resulting revelations also encompass the Creation Lineage and Time Lineage. Even without deliberate comprehension, just a fleeting glance awards ample experience.

“So it seems, even if I focus on cultivating the Void Lineage, experiences from the other two lineages will continually accumulate.”

Chen Mu observed the changes on the system panel, appearing contemplative.

Having accumulated experience from the Mysteries Fusion of the Creation Lineage and Time Lineage is naturally beneficial for him.

Previously, he hadn’t considered dispersing his focus to cultivate the Creation Lineage and Time Lineage, nor had he thought about pursuing paths to Double Vein Perfection or Three Veins Perfection. After all, understanding different Great Daos could elevate one’s strength but only as small steps in transformation, lacking worth when compared to the path of a Venerable.

However, given the current situation, gaining experiences in the Creation Lineage and Time Lineage without allocated effort is an unexpected benefit. Since the path of a Void Venerable is still a long journey, developing the Creation and Time Lineages to Nine Layer Heavens Perfection along the way is undoubtedly beneficial.

After all,

Boosting strength increases survival ability in Wuxiang City, allowing for greater resource acquisition, which in turn accelerates Void Dao comprehension efficiency, creating a mutually reinforcing cycle.

“Let’s continue.”

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mu closed the system panel, collecting his thoughts, and grasped another Source Stone in his palm, channeling power to slowly refine it.

Soon, the Origin Power entered his body, and once more, he glimpsed the light of the Great Dao. Amidst the multitude of flashing insights, his accumulated Dao comprehension experience began to steadily rise again.
