Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1448 - 694: Seclusion (Part 2)

Chapter 1448: Chapter 694: Seclusion (Part 2)

…

Aside from the Time Temple and the Vast Divine Palace, the other major forces in Wuxiang City quickly learned about the achievement of the Double Vein Perfection by Venerable Mu of the Wind Association, causing a stir.

The members of the Wind Association were temporarily unaware of the ripple effect within the city’s forces. However, under Chen Mu’s lead, they all returned safely to Wuxiang City without encountering any further trouble along the way.

Back in Wuxiang City,

Chen Mu returned directly to the courtyard of the Wind Association and to the Silent Chamber he used for seclusion. He knew that his display of strength would inevitably cause a stir in Wuxiang City, but he had no intention of being swept up in the waves nor of engaging with the Venerable figures of various forces.

Fortunately, he still had enough Source Stones in hand, which allowed him to stay in seclusion for a longer period until the external uproar subsided before coming out again.

Swoosh!

Chen Mu waved his sleeve, using a surge of Void Dao Power to isolate the Silent Chamber from the outside world. He then gently turned his hand over, revealing all twenty-two Enlightenment Green Lotus Seeds he had obtained.

“Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed.”

It was at this moment that Chen Mu finally had the leisure to carefully observe this rare treasure.

He could see the jade-like lotus seeds covered with intricate Dao marks. Upon magnification, each dense Dao mark was composed of even finer marks, extending seemingly endlessly into infinity.

In other words, the fundamental structure of the Green Lotus Seed comprised minute traces of Daoist Charm, condensed into extremely fine Dao marks. These marks formed smaller marks, which in turn constituted somewhat larger marks, finally forming the complete structure of the Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed.

“It contains Mystical elements of All Spirits, Life, and seemingly even the Power of Time, making it difficult to analyze.”

Chen Mu gazed at the Green Lotus Seed for a long time before withdrawing his gaze and exhaling. At his current Realm, very few things in the vast Universe eluded his understanding.

Any material or wonder placed before him could be grasped instantly, but the Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed, originating from the Source Realm and Wuxiang City, was an enigma he could not completely decipher.

Soon,

Chen Mu took out one Green Lotus Seed and placed it in his mouth, gently swallowing it.

The jade-like Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed immediately brimmed with a rich fragrance upon being ingested. Though calling it a fragrance might not suffice, as mundane language fails to capture it accurately. Instead of a mere fragrance, it was a ’Dao Fragrance,’ and its pervasive aroma gave one an ethereal feeling.

As the Lotus Seed dissolved within, Chen Mu felt his entire body become incredibly light, as if freed from shackles, ascending toward the Heavens Vault, soaring to the distant high skies.

“So that’s it…”

At this moment, Chen Mu realized.

These beings who entered the Source Realm, like himself in Wuxiang City, were forcibly molded into flesh and blood body forms. Though this appearance did not affect their core essence or their Divine Power structure, it fundamentally acted as a restraint, a confinement, severing the connection between him and the world of Wuxiang City.

This separation was both a limitation and a protection.

Because Wuxiang City, as a Domain within the Source Realm, essentially embodied the Origin Dao, if a God Realm being of the Nine Layer Heavens stripped away the flesh and blood façade, it would directly contact the Origin Dao. This would bring infinite realization, but since the Origin Dao is the beginning of all, it possesses an immensely assimilative power.

Even a Dao Venerable, who comprehends a complete Great Dao, cannot avoid assimilation and will eventually merge into the Dao after countless Universes come and go. How could a Divine Monarch of the Nine Layer Heavens resist?

Once directly touching the Origin Dao, one would rapidly transform and perish, becoming part of the Origin Dao.

This flesh and blood body, along with the surrounding Origin Power, serves as a protective measure, like an invisible bubble nesting them within, preventing direct contact with the Origin Dao.

But now,

after swallowing the Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed, Chen Mu sensed a unique force stirring within. This force broke the shackles of his flesh and blood, placing him directly before the Dao, enabling him to almost directly perceive the omnipresent Origin Dao and the essence of the Dao throughout this realm.

The Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed, this rare treasure, precisely allowed him to safely draw closer to the Dao!

“No wonder it’s so valuable.”

“For those standing at the Nine Layer Heavens Perfection, with profound understanding in one lineage and near-complete insight into Five Mystical Fusion, only one step away from breaking through, swallowing an Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed would indeed offer a close encounter and touch with the Origin Dao, possibly leading to a Sudden Insight, directly overcoming the final barrier.”

Chen Mu, sensing the near and omnipresent Origin Dao, and the essence of the Dao, murmured with a slight sigh in his heart.

Of course,

it’s extremely difficult to fully comprehend the complete Origin Dao with just one Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed. At least currently, he couldn’t achieve it, or rather, he was still stuck at the initial threshold of understanding the Five Mystical Fusion.

This also represents the problem faced by most Nine Layer Heavens Perfection Divine Monarchs throughout the Universe. Before reaching this point, even after countless ages of cultivation, they’ve always been progressing, albeit minimally.

However, at this final step, the bottleneck of the Five Mystical Fusion remains insurmountable for most.

Often, they spend thousands upon thousands of eons, yet make no headway here.

Nevertheless,

This bottleneck is ineffective against Chen Mu because even without profound insight, the system panel would continually accumulate experience. Once enough experience is gathered, he can use the system panel to forcibly break through this so-called bottleneck.

At this moment, without much hesitation, Chen Mu flipped his hand, taking out a Source Stone, gently squeezing it in his palm, and skillfully refining it to absorb a strand of Origin Power into his body.

Buzz!!

This was the result of refining a Source Stone after swallowing an Enlightenment Green Lotus Seed, breaking certain shackles and releasing some restraints, completely different from the usual refinement.

Chen Mu felt an overwhelmingly intense flood of realization surging up, engulfing him instantly.

Previously, refining a Source Stone felt like a trickle pouring over his head, bringing forth countless flashes of Spiritual Light, whereas now, it was like being submerged in a waterfall, forcibly submerged in Spiritual Light, with endless realizations continuously emerging, and all consciousness touched upon were Dao, were realizations.

At this moment, he seemed to have become one with the Dao, hearing and seeing the essence of the Dao in everything.

“…”

Chen Mu immediately entered a state of Enlightenment, where all his thoughts and distractions were almost entirely submerged in realization.

His Interface Avatar left in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, and his Divine Power True Body in the Abyss of Eternity, each holding a strand of consciousness, one overseeing the Domain, the other overseeing Molten Fire City, yet at this moment, all fell into the deepest seclusion.

Meanwhile,

on the system panel, the experience for the ultimate fusion of the Five Mystical of the Void Lineage continued to accumulate ceaselessly.
