Chapter 1045 - 542: Chaos Evolution (2)

Chapter 1045: Chapter 542: Chaos Evolution (2)

The actual situation is indeed like this. Since Qinghong Daoist Monarch unfortunately fell, the pillar of the Sect collapsed suddenly, and the Sect Master mysteriously lost contact, like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone in the sect in panic, and morale was depressed. This shadow hovered like heavy dark clouds, weighing heavily on the hearts of every disciple, the once flourishing Sect now permeated with an indescribable silence and sorrow.

However, amidst this despair, a ray of dawn quietly descended; a new Daoist Monarch emerged in the Sect. If this news spread, it would surely boost the morale of all the disciples in the Sect.

Thinking of these benefits, Sword Master Chen knew he could no longer refuse, let out a helpless smile, and agreed, "All right! As you wish!"

"Elder Li, we shall take our leave first, and gather again to celebrate on the day of the grand ceremony!" Sword Master Feng eagerly said to Li Mu.

"Alright, I bid farewell to the Daoist Monarch and Sword Master!" Li Mu nodded gladly and sent them off, "At that time, I will definitely present a precious treasure personally refined as a gift to the Daoist Monarch!"

"Hahaha, then I shall thank Elder Li in advance!" Sword Master Chen’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, eager for the treasure Li Mu mentioned.

Then, Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng flew into the sky, transforming into two sword lights and swiftly vanished into the horizon.

As the figures of Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen gradually faded away, until completely out of sight, Li Mu withdrew his gaze and welcomed Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, and Ge Xinyu.

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on condensing the Dharma Realm!"

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on the great success of your Divine Technique!"

Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, and Ge Xinyu stepped forward with sincere smiles, their eyes flashing with infinite admiration for Li Mu, as they bowed and congratulated Li Mu, filled with excitement and joy.

"Thank you, Elders. I still need to enter seclusion for a period, and in the meantime, the sect affairs still require your strong support." Li Mu smiled slightly, gesturing.

"The Sect Master’s words are too serious. Guarding the Sect is our duty." Qin Wentong, on behalf of the three, answered firmly and sincerely, "Please rest assured during your seclusion, we will definitely do our utmost and live up to your trust."

Li Mu nodded, his figure flashed, and disappeared from the spot, reappearing in the Sect Leader’s Mansion.

"Brother Li!"

Seeing Li Mu’s figure, Xue’Er led Xiaobai forward enthusiastically.

As soon as Li Mu emerged from seclusion, he was pulled by the two Sword Masters to duel. If he hadn’t instructed otherwise, Xue’Er likely wouldn’t have been able to contain her curiosity and eagerly followed to watch the excitement.

Xue’Er’s heart is pure, and the sword duel is too intense for her. Moreover, she is about to face the True Spirit Thunder Tribulation, her mood shouldn’t have too much fluctuation. Therefore, Li Mu specifically instructed Xue’Er to wait patiently and not worry.

"Xue’Er, I just came out of seclusion; I still have some matters to handle. I will accompany you later," Li Mu said softly, with eyes full of indulgence.

"Okay!" Xue’Er nodded, watching as Li Mu dove into the Seclusion Room.

The Seclusion Room was quiet and solemn. Li Mu sat on the meditation cushion, closed his eyes, concentrating spirit, surrounded by faint Chaos Qi, with a scene of Chaos newly opened slowly unfolding in his sea of consciousness.

Li Mu calmed his mind and slowly operated the cultivation technique – Chaos Dao Scripture, his spirit immersed in the vast sea of consciousness, delving into the boundless expanse of the Chaos Realm.

With each breath Li Mu took, the surging power of Chaos flowed within him, a force surpassing the mundane, touching the origin of the universe, deepened his understanding and control over the Chaos Realm. Simultaneously, it inadvertently touched the essence of the Hundred Arts he cultivated, like alchemy, artifact refining, array talismans; these skills, under the nourishment of the Chaos Dao, shone with unprecedented brilliance, bringing about various transformations.

For instance, the Three Thousand Divine Patterns, with the enlightenment of the Chaos Dao, countless incomprehensible divine patterns gradually revealed their most fundamental laws and mysteries.

Furthermore, the Heaven and Earth Array, those many arrays once merely theoretical now seemed endowed with life, vividly displayed before his eyes. These arrays were no longer just simple array maps or array patterns, but transformed into the purest energy flow between heaven and earth, resonating with the Chaos Realm, presenting a marvelous picture of heaven and earth.

More astonishingly, under the guidance of the Chaos Dao, Li Mu could also create entirely new Heaven and Earth Array formations. These formations not only integrated the essence of traditional arrays but also imbued with the unique attributes of Chaos, achieving an unprecedented level of power, flexibility, and adaptability.

Similarly, in the realm of artifact refining techniques, Li Mu’s skills had transcended beyond the ordinary, reaching a state of mastery. With the integration of Chaos’ power, it also brought about earth-shaking changes, not to mention the newly comprehended divine patterns integration, under the enlightenment of Chaos Dao, his understanding and application of artifact refining techniques underwent a drastic transformation.

Firstly, in the selection of materials for refining, he could perceive the unique aspects of every material within heaven and earth, whether the essence of mountains and rivers, or fragments of meteorites. Utilizing Chaos’ power, he eliminated impurities within these materials, preserving their purest, most fundamental energy, laying a solid foundation for refining peerless magical artifacts, no longer confined to traditional refining techniques and steps, but instead, integrating more Dao principles based on the material’s attributes and his own insights.

...

Overall, the Hundred Cultivation Arts Li Mu excelled at, such as alchemy, artifact refining, arrays, talismans, puppets, due to the infusion of the Chaos Dao, burst forth unprecedented vitality and creativity.

Moreover, the condensation of the Chaos Realm and entry into the Chaos Dao was undoubtedly a transformative rebirth for Li Mu in terms of cultivation and combat power.

After condensing the Chaos Realm, although Li Mu’s cultivation was still at the Peak of Void Refining, with his profound understanding and application of the Chaos Dao, his combat power silently transcended the shackles of realms, reaching an entirely new level.

While sparring with Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng in a sword duel, Li Mu did so without revealing the Chaos Dao Body. Utilizing the power of the Chaos Realm, he could contend equally with the two Sword Dao masters, neither side gaining the upper hand.

This implies that during the fierce sword duels, Li Mu held back much of his strength; if he unleashed the Chaos Dao Body with full force, defeating them would be no problem.

With the power of the Chaos Dao, even when facing experts of the Daoist Monarch level, Li Mu is confident he can cope with ease, and in some situations, even take the upper hand, for instance, through the use of various Dao artifacts, talisman treasures, and arrays.

At this moment, Li Mu’s combat power far exceeds the usual range of the Peak of Void Refining, reaching a terrifying height.

Under the profound influence of the Chaos Dao, Li Mu’s fighting style also underwent a qualitative leap. The Chaos Dao encompasses all, not limited to the Power of the Five Elements, Yin Yang Transformation, even the cycle of time, space evolution, life and death reincarnation, ..., Three Thousand Great Dao, contained within.

For controlling the Power of the Five Elements, Li Mu is no longer simplifying it to mutual generation and restriction, but can insight into their essence, freely mobilize spiritual power between heaven and earth, forming powerful attack and defense techniques.

Yin Yang Transformation, one yin, one yang, mutually rooting. Li Mu can utilize it to instantly switch between offense and defense, catching the enemy off guard.

The cycle of time, space evolution, these divine energies, Li Mu can now apply easily, allowing him to perceive subtle fluctuations of time, even influence the flow rate of time to gain advantages; he can freely shuttle between different space cracks, whether to conceal his form or launch an attack, all at ease.

As for life and death reincarnation, it is the most profound part of the Chaos Dao; although Li Mu hasn’t fully comprehended its true essence, he can faintly feel the boundary of life and death in battle. He can trigger the latent vitality within him, making his combat power unpredictable, forcing his opponents to constantly guard against that sudden transition of life and death during clashes.

...

Since stepping onto the Chaos Dao, the potential evolutions and changes in the power Li Mu can command seem endless, inexhaustible.

Li Mu deeply immersed himself, trying to analyze all laws, understand their interaction and connection, attempting to integrate them into his cultivation system.
