Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 493: Half-step to Godhood!

Qixuan Sect, a forbidden area.

After seeing off Xu Hongyu and his group, Chen Mu returned to the forbidden area and went into seclusion once again.

He was seen sitting cross-legged in the deepest cave in the forbidden area, with a hazy chaotic mist floating in front of him. His entire aura was connected to the hazy mist, as if he was trying to guide and manipulate the mist to condense and change.

This hazy mist was exactly the Hunyuan Qi that he had obtained in the Bingzhou Abyss in his early years!

Hunyuan Qi is also a very rare wonder in the world. When he first obtained it, it had no use for the time being. But now, as if guided by fate, this ball of Hunyuan Qi came in handy, because the third level of soul refining technique happened to require this Qi as a guide!

now,

In Chen Mu's sight, the system panel appeared clearly.

[Soul Path: Soul Refining Technique (Second Level)]

[Experience: 1117 points]

To practice the soul refining technique to the third level, one needs 4,000 experience points. Chen Mu has now accumulated a quarter of it. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to practice the third level in a year at most.

"Go on."

Chen Mu quickly closed his eyes and immersed himself in practice again.

Time flies.

Soon more than half a year had passed.

Over the past six months, the whole world has been peaceful and nothing major has happened.

Xu Hongyu brought Chen Yao back to Yu County to visit relatives. The round trip took only a little over a month, and they did not encounter any accidents during the period. This was also normal. After all, in today's world, even the Daxuan court did not dare to offend Xu Hongyu and Chen Yao in the slightest.

However, Chen Yue did not follow Xu Hongyu and others back, but changed his route and went to Bi County to continue his training.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Snowy.

Chen Mu is still in seclusion in the cave in the forbidden area.

He just sat there cross-legged, with a ball of primordial energy floating in front of him. After an unknown amount of time, he finally exhaled, slowly opened his eyes, and looked towards the system panel.

[Soul Path: Soul Refining Technique (Second Level)]

[Experience: 4000 points]

After a year, the experience in soul refining has finally been accumulated to perfection and will be able to break through to the third level.

Chen Mu did not hesitate too much. His mind was calm. With just a thought, he consumed his experience and chose to upgrade.

hum! !

With a flash of light.

In an instant, countless experiences and insights flooded into my mind.

This is similar to his past experience of relying on the system panel to comprehend the first and second levels. Although this soul refining technique is not suitable for practicing body-tempering martial arts, after being upgraded by the system panel, it will be forcibly transformed into a method suitable for him.

Zizi!

In an instant, the blood and energy in Chen Mu's body surged, and a blazing flame condensed in front of him, which was the blood fire!
hum!
The power of heaven and earth gathered together and continued to converge in front of him, transforming into a ball of deep fire like a whirlpool. It was the heavenly fire condensed by the second level of soul refining technique!
And just when the blood fire and the sky fire converged, the two flames merged towards the center and slowly merged with the Hunyuan Qi floating in front of him.

Originally, when the blood fire and the sky fire came into contact with the primordial qi, they should have dissolved into the primordial qi in an instant and turned into chaos.

However, the blood and fire that Chen Mu refined with his surging blood contained a trace of an immortal quality that transcended heaven and earth. Even the primordial energy at the beginning of all things could not annihilate it.

The same goes for that ball of heavenly fire. Although it is called heavenly fire, it is actually the fire of the soul, a burning bit of 'divine fire' that uses the power of heaven and earth as nourishment to burn. After being integrated into the Hunyuan Qi, it also did not collapse.

Zizizi!
Just like this, two balls of flame and a ball of primordial energy continued to intertwine and blend with each other, and finally completely merged into a ball of pitch-black flame. Just one look at it made people feel palpitating.

The formation of this ball of black flame is the sign of the completion of the third level of soul refining technique.

Hunyuan Fire!
As this ball of Hunyuan Fire took shape, the data on Chen Mu's system panel also changed quietly.

[Soul Path: Soul Refining Technique (Third Level)]

[Experience: 0 points]

The soul refining technique finally reached the third level, which is also the final level of this technique.

However, Chen Mu did not look at the changes on the system panel at this time, but stared at the black flame with a thoughtful look. Then he moved his mind, took out the Qiankun bottle, and took out a strange black bead from it.

The black bead was the divine bead that he got from Yang Qingshan, the celestial being of the Witch God Sect, after he killed him in the battle in Kyoto. Inside the bead was still the ball of black flame that Yang Qingshan had controlled back then.

"Primordial Fire?"

Chen Mu held the Divine Orb in his hand and sensed and identified it carefully, but found that the black flame contained in the Divine Orb was slightly different from the black flame he cultivated in the third level of soul refining technique.

The 'Hunyuan Fire' he cultivated was much more violent. If it was not controlled, it would spread in an instant and turn into a terrifying world-destroying flame, burning the entire cave and even the entire mountain.

However, the black flame within the divine pearl is much more docile and can be controlled with the mind and soul.

The two have both similar characteristics and differences.

The black flame within the Divine Orb was like a more docile product of the Primordial Fire after being tempered and tamed. However, its power and nature were weaker than those of the Primordial Fire.

“From this perspective, if you hold this Divine Control Pearl, you can use the black flame inside to refine your heart and soul… But if you want to do this, you must at least condense a little bit of the Immortal Spiritual Light as the foundation of your heart and soul.”

Thoughts flashed through Chen Mu's mind.

He quickly shook his head and put the Divine Orb away again.

Now that he had the Hunyuan Fire cultivated according to the system and soul refining technique, there was no need to explore the black flame in the Yushen Pearl in detail. After he calmed down his mind, he moved his mind, and his heart and soul instantly dispersed from his body and merged with the Hunyuan Fire!

hum! ! !
A fierce burning sensation came, followed by unspeakable pain. This pain was a hundred times worse than physical pain. It was not something that ordinary people could withstand and was enough to kill ordinary people in pain.

But for Chen Mu now, such pain only made him frown slightly, and he took it.

One could see that nearly 90% of his soul had been refined to be crystal clear, exuding a wisp of immortal aura; only a very small part remained, still retaining a dim luster.

Before, he used blood fire and sky fire to temper it with all his strength, but this was the limit. No matter what, it was difficult to refine the remaining bit into an immortal spiritual light. But now, after being burned by the Hunyuan Fire, his dim soul immediately began to transform!
zizi.

In the intense pain of his heart and soul, that dim corner of his soul was constantly burned by the Hunyuan Fire, just like a gold mine that was hammered thousands of times, gradually removing the impurities and hammering out the real gold!
The dark part slowly began to emit a faint glow, which then spread out bit by bit.

that's it.

I don’t know how long it had passed, but that bit of spiritual light finally completely covered the entire dim corner of the soul, and was completely connected with the entire crystal clear soul, turning into a complete whole!

Almost at this moment, Chen Mu felt that the pain of the Hunyuan Fire burning and tempering his soul suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by an unprecedented sense of emptiness. His entire consciousness suddenly leaped up, constantly rising, as if it was about to extend beyond the sky!
Somewhere.

He seemed to see a world, a vast world, wrapped in boundless white light, floating in the endless dark void. It was the Daxuan World!

Near this vast Daxuan World, some other tiny spots of light can be vaguely seen. They are the caves attached to the Daxuan World. Some are extremely close, almost sticking to the surface of the Daxuan World, while others are quite far away.

Those that are a little further away are completely blurry and cannot be seen clearly.

"This is... what the Daxuan world looks like..."

Chen Mu looked at this strange scene and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

It’s not that his heart and soul are strong enough to embrace the entire Daxuan world, but after his heart and soul have been tempered and completely transformed into a complete immortal soul, this world can no longer restrain his heart and soul!

At this moment.

His mind and soul have already transcended heaven and earth!
The only thing still bound by heaven and earth was his body, and he couldn't even break free of the shackles.

But even so, he has now reached the half-step divine realm!
Chen Mu's consciousness was now standing at an infinitely high place, his thoughts blended with heaven and earth, existing at the very top of the sky, overlooking the vast void outside.

Compared to the past, this time of peeping into the void was much clearer than any previous time. In the past, the distance that his eyes could see through the void was almost immeasurable, and it was difficult to extend more than dozens of feet. It was even like a blind man touching an elephant, unable to see the true and complete appearance of the void.

But this time, he saw it clearly.

It's like a fish in the river, jumping high, finally jumping out of the water, and finally getting a glimpse of the scene on the river bank.

However, this fish still lacks something and cannot truly jump onto the shore, and will eventually fall back into the river.

But this is enough.

For Chen Mu, even if he just stood on the "shore" and looked into the distance at the entire void, the mystery of the void he could experience was far beyond the past. He didn't even need to call out the system panel, he knew very well that the experience about the way of the void on the system panel must be accumulating continuously.

"Void."

Chen Mu looked into the distance at the vast void outside the Daxuan world and muttered to himself.

The void is like the sea!

This is what he realized at the moment.

The vast void was like a vast ocean. The vast and endless power of the void was like the sea water, constantly rising and falling in waves, like a tide, washing the Daxuan world.

However, the boundary wall of the Daxuan world is formed by the power of heaven and earth, and is extremely tough. It can withstand the erosion of the void tides. Occasionally, some cracks will be quickly repaired in a moment.

just.

If Chen Mu looked at it from his current level, he could vaguely tell that the healing of this rift was consuming the power of heaven and earth, and the healing process was gradually slowing down, but the progress was extremely small, almost unrecognizable.

But no matter how tiny the change is, if placed on the scale of a long period of time, it will turn into a drastic change. Even this vast world will one day completely collapse and disintegrate after experiencing the boundless future!

Suddenly.

Chen Mu had a flash of enlightenment in his mind.

Perhaps there is no true immortality in this world. What he thought was immortality, the indestructibility he achieved after entering the divine realm, was just a leap from one pond to another, more vast pond.

Even a world like the Daxuan World will one day decay and perish under the constant cleansing and scouring of the void, let alone humans. Even if they cultivate to the true divine realm and transcend the Daxuan World, they have only broken the shackles of the Daxuan World.

but.

For ordinary people, this is enough; it is the height they aspire to achieve.

Being able to break the constraints of heaven and earth, even if one will still decay in the void with the passage of time in the future, one's lifespan will no longer be bound by heaven and earth and will inevitably become extremely long. It will no longer be a mere few hundred years, but will be calculated in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

Chen Mu's mind was wandering for a while, but he quickly came back to his senses and was not immersed in the vast nothingness. He had been walking on the same path from having nothing to being invincible in the world and becoming a peerless martial saint.

Even if you cannot glimpse true immortality, it doesn’t matter. You just need to keep moving forward on this path.

Martial arts have their limits, but the Tao has no boundaries.

With the assistance and support of the system panel, he will sooner or later be able to see... the end of this road.

After calming his mind, Chen Mu took a deep breath and did not continue to immerse himself in the contemplation of the void. His entire mind and soul consciousness quickly converged and no longer spread beyond the heaven and earth, but began to extend horizontally.

The interaction between heaven and man that had been staying within a range of 3,600 miles, now began to spread outward again along with his thoughts, rapidly extending to even more distant and vast areas.

Three thousand six hundred miles,
Four thousand one hundred miles,

Four thousand six hundred miles,
……

Chen Mu's thoughts merged with heaven and earth, and the range he could perceive continued to expand, all the way to a full 10,800 miles before finally stopping!
At this moment, the range that his heavenly communication could detect was so vast that it was almost unimaginable. He truly possessed great power like a god. He was in the forbidden area of ​​the Qixuan Sect and in the capital of Yuzhou, but the range of his perception extended to Shuang County in the north, Sha County in the west, Yu County in the south, and Bi County in the east, almost covering half of Yuzhou!
Immortal soul.

This is not just a simple small step, but a true arrival at the threshold of the divine realm at the level of mind and soul. One may even have one foot stepping over it, and possess some of the supreme power of a divine being!
What Chen Mu could feel at this moment was no longer the kind of communication between heaven and man that could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, but a sense of control from a high position, as if wherever he was, his will was the will of heaven!
Chen Mu had no doubt.

At this moment, he only needs a thought, even if he is thousands of miles away, he can control the vast power of heaven and earth and kill a being in the Blood Exchange Realm with one move!

Such a huge gap in strength is even greater than the distance between a marrow cleansing master and a blood transfusion expert!
But the more this happened, the more Chen Mu could appreciate the power of the Divine Realm. Now he only possessed a portion of the power of the Divine Realm, but he already had this supreme power that was like the power of heaven, vast and unfathomable. What if he was in the true Divine Realm?

He was at the ninth level below God, and entering the blood exchange realm was only the first level. But now that he had cultivated a complete immortal soul, his strength was enough to reach the limit of the fifth level below God!
Just as Chen Mu was carefully experiencing the changes that had taken place after the transformation of his mind and soul, his eyes suddenly focused slightly, and his sight spanned an area of ​​nearly ten thousand miles, looking far into the west of Yuzhou, deep into Sha County.

"Ok?"
