Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 426 Divine Realm
Chen Mu's eyes swept across the entire tree hole, without lingering for too long anywhere else, and only cast his gaze towards the spiritual pond in the center.

What is stored in this spiritual pond is the accumulation of thousands of years of the entire Xunmu Cave Heaven. Even Chen Mu couldn't help but marvel at the rich and strong vitality and spiritual power. What is even more eye-catching is that in the deepest part of the spiritual pond, there is a faint hint of gold. Chen Mu doesn't know what that is, but it must be more precious than the Xunmu Spirit Liquid.

Chen Mu didn't hesitate for long and immediately walked towards the Lingtan.

Almost as Chen Mu approached the edge of Lingtan.

Something unexpected happened!

But inside the entire tree hole, the broken foundation stones of the formation suddenly began to emit beams of spiritual light again, and they intertwined together in an instant, locking Chen Mu in the center like a net.

On one side of the spiritual pond, Ling Ji, who had been lifeless, suddenly opened a pair of bloodshot eyes, and raised his drooping head slightly. His whole body was still covered with cracks, but these cracks were filled with spiritual light, like the texture of heaven and earth, connecting with the cornerstones of the formation in the entire tree hole.

The core where all these pieces of spiritual light gather is precisely that spiritual pond!
"Please ask the Holy Tree to kill this beast!"

Ling Ji let out a hoarse roar, which seemed to tear the wounds on his body further, and blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. There was a hint of deep hatred in his eyes when he looked at Chen Mu.

If it weren't for Chen Mu, they wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses in this alien invasion. If it weren't for Chen Mu, Ling Huan would have had more time to guide him in his practice and teach him everything before his life ended.

But now it's all gone.

Ling Huan is dead.

He is dying too, there is no way he can survive.

Without people at the level of Spirit Ancestors, perhaps the people from outer space will not have enough time to do more in this hundred years. Some of the spirit people can still survive safely, but if no more Spirit Ancestors are born in the next hundred years, Xunmu Dongtian will surely fall completely and will be controlled by invaders from outer space. It will no longer be their pure land.

He felt deep hatred in his heart.

Even at the cost of death, he would drag Chen Mu along with him!
Swish!
Chen Mu's movements and reactions were also extremely fast. He walked towards Lingtan seemingly defenselessly, but in fact he remained on guard the entire time. The moment Ling Ji suddenly erupted, he suddenly retreated.

However, the spiritual lines spreading from the vicinity were too fast. They gathered together and wrapped around his body in the blink of an eye. These spiritual lines could not cause any damage to him, nor could they completely suppress him, but they still slowed down his movements, and he was unable to exit the tree hole in the first place.

Almost at the next moment, Chen Mu's pupils shrank slightly.

He felt that a will that permeated the heaven and earth seemed to awaken from a deep sleep, making the world he perceived seem to "come alive" all of a sudden, so that his Qiankun domain was temporarily ineffective, unable to compete with that will for control of the power of heaven and earth.

This will did not seem like a truly living being, or rather, it did not seem like a wise person like him. It seemed very sluggish and awkward, as if it was just a device without a self, but its origin was beyond doubt.

Looking for the real body of the tree!

This is Xunmu's will!
Long before entering the forbidden area, Chen Mu had carefully investigated Xun Mu's body. He was also worried that such a creature would have self-awareness and wisdom like a "monster". If that were the case, it would be very terrifying. If counted, it would probably be far superior to Daxuan's tenth-order celestial demon. He didn't know whether it should be counted as the eleventh or twelfth order.

However, after careful investigation, he did not sense any obvious active will from Xunmu, so he stepped in.

Now it seems that this towering tree is not without will, but its will is not so active, or it has been dormant for a long time and it is unknown how long it has not awakened.

But at this moment, Ling Ji used some method and price to forcefully communicate and guide him, causing his will to suddenly spread and fall on Chen Mu. The sense of oppression given to Chen Mu at this moment was so strong that it could not be described in words!

It's like,
It is when you stand on the top of Yunni Tian Peak, look up at the vast sky, and feel your own insignificance!
This will belonging to Xun Mu swept through Chen Mu's whole body, making him feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy. His spirit was almost tense to the limit, and he mobilized all the strength in his body, ready to deal with the terrifying attack that might come at any time.

“Die, die…”

Ling Ji was covered in blood and was unable to stand up. He just sat there stiffly, blood constantly gushing out from the cracks on his body. He looked extremely terrifying, and his entire life force was like a candle flickering in the wind, about to go out at any time.

And the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Mu was filled with the pleasure of revenge.

No one can resist the power of the Holy Tree.

Even beings at the level of spiritual ancestors are like ants in front of the sacred tree, which is the pillar that holds up the heavens and the earth.

He remembered that Ling Huan told him that the Xunmu Sacred Tree was conscious, but had been sleeping all the time. He was shocked for a long time because he had never sensed this before, not even when he had entered the level of Spirit Ancestor.

However, Ling Huan also told him that unless it was absolutely necessary, he must not try to stimulate Xunmu's will to wake him up, because Xunmu's will had been dormant for thousands of years, and even Ling Huan didn't know what would happen if he woke Xunmu up.

now.

That's when it's absolutely necessary.

These evil ways from outer space came to their world and killed people wantonly. The Holy Tree would definitely not let them go. It would definitely...

Nourishing.

Ling Ji's thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

In his sight, he saw the spiritual lines that were entangled around Chen Mu like a spider web, suddenly disappearing one by one. It was not him who was controlling it, but the spiritual power that constructed the spiritual lines of the formation dissipated on its own.

Ling Ji stood there in a daze, but before he could react, a beam of green light pierced through the void and pierced his body, leaving an empty bloody hole between his chest and abdomen.

"..."

Ling Ji slowly lowered his head and looked at the bloody hole on his body. Then he could no longer support his body and fell headfirst into a pool of blood. At the last moment before his consciousness faded, he was still at a loss.

All the spiritual lines on Chen Mu's body had disappeared at this time. He only needed one step to exit the tree hole, but he did not make any excessive movements at this time. He just stood there with an extremely solemn look.

Although he could step out of the tree hole, this was still the heart of the Xunmu tree. He was not absolutely sure that he could escape. Moreover, the movements of Xunmu's will also confused him. It seemed that after observing him briefly, it immediately dispersed the spiritual lines that bound him, and then turned its spiritual power around and killed Ling Ji on the spot with one blow!

Looking at Ling Ji, who had a confused look on his face and died just like that, an idea suddenly came to Chen Mu's mind.

The Lingren tribe regards Xunmu as a sacred tree and worships it with respect, but Xunmu does not necessarily think that the Lingren tribe is its people. After all, the survival of the Lingren tribe is equivalent to parasitism on Xunmu, and they are absorbing nutrients from Xunmu all the time!

Ling Ji's body, which was almost entirely tempered by Xunmu's spiritual fluid, the so-called 'body of the spiritual ancestor', was probably the most disgusting existence in Xunmu's eyes, so he wiped it out at the first opportunity.

And just as Chen Mu's mind was flashing with thoughts.

A voice suddenly sounded in his mind. It was not the transmission of spiritual power, but the transmission of soul thoughts. It sounded like a voice, but in fact it was a thought that was more direct than sound and language.

Soul-to-soul communication was a method that Chen Mu had never heard of. Even though a celestial master could transmit sound over a thousand or even ten thousand miles, he had never heard of anyone who could directly transmit thoughts at the heart and soul level. In other words, the heart and soul strength of a celestial master was at least one level lower than Xun Mu's will.

"Human." "I can let you leave safely, and you can take the resources here as you like, but I need you to make a promise."

Xunmu's will is ancient and vicissitudes. The feeling it brings to Chen Mu cannot be compared with any kind of life he knows. Even Ling Huan, the old spiritual ancestor who has lived for thousands of years, is far from comparable to Xunmu's will.

"What agreement?"

Chen Mu asked cautiously.

Xun Mu's thoughts echoed in Chen Mu's mind: "Although I can support a piece of heaven and earth in the void, I am unable to travel far in the void. After you advance to the divine realm, you must follow the void lineage. When you have mastered the way of the void to a sufficient degree, come back here and help me return to my hometown..."

This thought revealed so much information that Chen Mu's consciousness paused slightly.

First of all, it's "hometown". Ling Huan also sighed with this thought when he died. If he guessed correctly, the Lingren tribe and Xunmu might come from the same place. That place might be a world comparable to the mountains and rivers of Daxuan, but it is more likely to be a world even more vast than Daxuan.

Then there is the 'God Realm' and the 'Void Lineage', which are obviously the realms and routes of cultivation. Whether in Daxuan, the outer sea, or in Xunmu Dongtian, he has never heard of the level of 'God Realm'.

of course.

In the eyes of ordinary mortals, the master of marrow cleansing and even the celestial being who has undergone blood exchange have the same strength and means as gods and Buddhas. The gods and demons depicted in many strange stories are actually the image of those celestial beings in the eyes of ordinary people.

The eighth step of the body-tempering martial arts is the Blood Exchange Realm, and in Xunmu Dongtian, this step is called the 'Spirit Ancestor Realm'. So is the Blood Exchange Realm also called the 'God Realm' in a certain world?
Different titles, but same level?

But the greater possibility is that the Divine Realm is superior to the Blood Exchange Realm. Perhaps that is the direction of the ninth step of the Body Tempering Martial Arts!
To be called a saint through martial arts, to become a god through martial arts, in Chen Mu's opinion, if anyone can find the way to the eighth level of body tempering martial arts and take the ninth step, perhaps he can truly break through the boundaries of the mundane world, and it is natural for him to become a god or demon.

Also.

There is also the 'Void Lineage' mentioned by Xunmu Yizhi.

He had discussed martial arts with Yin Heng, Qin Mengjun and others before, and he even had a certain understanding of the void. However, let alone mastering the power of the void, he couldn't even comprehend it in detail, and he couldn't understand it further.

Since Kexun Mu's will mentioned the void lineage and that it is a path of cultivation, it means that his previous inference was correct, or in other words, in the entire Daxuan world, many masters who have reached the blood exchange realm or even the heavenly level, their judgments are correct. The void is indeed a force that can be comprehended, just like wind, thunder, water, and fire, but at a higher level.

And when I think of this.

Chen Mu was also lost in thought.

It was obvious that Xunmu Yishi knew a lot of information that he didn't know. The value of this information was extremely precious, far rarer than any spiritual objects in heaven and earth, and even the Xunmu Spirit Liquid. It was something that all the celestial beings wanted to obtain. But the question was, was he suitable to ask about these things?

Xunmu hopes that he can enter the so-called divine realm, or even comprehend the void, and after possessing supreme power, help it return to a certain place. But what if he doesn't even understand the divine realm and the so-called void lineage?
After a brief thought, Chen Mu made a decision, it is better to be safe.

"Okay, I can accept that."

"It's just that it's not easy to reach that level, and the resources you have here are not of much use to me."

Chen Mu raised his head and looked upward.

Although he didn't know a lot of information, he roughly knew from the information given by Xunmu that the place called Xunmu Cave Heaven was probably only connected to the Daxuan World now. After all, he had never heard that Xunmu Cave Heaven could lead to other places in the past. The Lingren Clan didn't know how many people had been tortured by Tingchaoya, and there was no news in this regard.

The will of Xunmu's existence has not been known to anyone for thousands of years. Combined with the previous situation, it can be inferred that Xunmu must have been sleeping for a long time. Perhaps it is not easy for it to open up such a void to maintain its own body.

And he.

A martial body that reaches the limit of the seventh realm.

In the Daxuan world, his martial arts foundation is currently impossible to exist. Even in a wider world, such a foundation should be considered a "genius", so Xunmu took the initiative to communicate with him, believing that there is a certain probability that he will be able to reach a certain height in the future, and then wanted to make an agreement with him.

This means that he can negotiate the terms a little bit. Although the situation is not favorable to him and he is the one being coerced, it can be seen from various information that Xunmu's situation is probably not much better.

"..."

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Xunmu Yizhi fell into a brief silence.

After a while.

The ancient and vicissitudes of life thought of Xunmu once again emerged in Chen Mu's mind.

"Indeed, after your cultivation, the things here are useless to you, but... this one is useful to you."

hum!
With a buzzing sound, a ripple suddenly appeared in the spiritual pool in the center of the tree hole, and then the green spiritual liquid of Xunmu separated to both sides. At the bottom center, a light golden vine emerged, extending from the roots of Xunmu.

Growing on the vine was a very green spiritual fruit that was only the size of a finger.

zizi.

And in the next moment, a large amount of Xunmu Spirit Liquid was manipulated by a force and poured into the light golden vine, making the vine glow with golden luster and making the unripe spiritual fruit grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few moments, it grew from the size of a finger to the size of a baby's fist, and gradually turned from green to red.

Finally, after the whole fruit turned into a deep red color, everything came to a halt, and one could vaguely see that the wood-seeking spiritual liquid in the spiritual pond had decreased by nearly one third!

Chen Mu could determine that the amount of Xunmu Spirit Liquid in the spiritual pond was over ten thousand kilograms. In other words, it took more than three thousand kilograms of Xunmu Spirit Liquid to forcefully ripen this deep red spiritual fruit of unknown origin!
"Your soul is a little weak. The 'fruit' bred by my companion ancient vine can temper the body and condense the soul. Tempering the body is not of much significance to you, but tempering the soul is still useful to you... There should be another one growing on my companion ancient vine, but it must have been picked before it was fully mature, otherwise I can give you both of them." Xunmu Yishi continued.

Followed by.

The deep red, almost ripe exotic fruit floated away from the light golden ancient vine, drew an arc in the air, and fell to Chen Mu not far away, and was caught by Chen Mu.

He looked at the spiritual fruit in his hand. Without even needing to sense anything, an invisible fragrance filled his heart, making his soul even more peaceful. He could tell by instinct that it was extremely precious.

Moreover, what Xun Mu Yizhi mentioned made Chen Mu understand something.

No wonder a master like Ling Huan was born in Xunmu Cave, a cave world that could not support blood exchange. It is likely that the unripe spiritual fruit mentioned by Xunmu was picked by Ling Huan, and he entered the blood exchange realm with it, and even achieved the unity of man and nature, obtaining power that was completely not what Xunmu Cave should have.

As for Ling Ji... it might be that Ling Huan, the celestial being, helped him in some way, and with the nearly inexhaustible Xunmu Spirit Liquid as a resource, he was eventually able to complete that step of transformation and step into the level of a spiritual ancestor. It was obvious that Ling Ji was more reluctant, his physique was weaker than Ling Huan, and his level of artistic conception was far inferior, and he was far from reaching the height of a celestial being.

"Okay, if I can enter the realm of God in the future and cultivate to a high level in the Void lineage, I will abide by the agreement, return here, and help you return to your hometown." Chen Mu took the strange spiritual fruit and spoke to Xunmu seriously.

This kind of agreement is not a constraint for him. If he cannot reach that level in the future, it will be equivalent to non-existence. But if he can really reach that level, then moving and finding wood will be something he can do.
