Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1475 - 708: The Seat of the Void Venerable
Chapter 1475: Chapter 708: The Seat of the Void Venerable
“This is the Dao Venerable.”
Chen Mu felt his current state, murmuring in his heart.
At this moment, he felt as if he possessed an almost omnipotent supreme power. Wherever his gaze landed, there was no place in the universe that could escape his sight; his vision could penetrate the endless void.
With just a thought, he could appear anywhere in the universe, whether at the edges of the universe or the central Primordial Domain, or even places like the Abyss of Eternity—nothing could hinder his steps.
No,
to be more precise, his true body no longer existed.
From the moment he fully comprehended the Void Dao, proving the Dao in the void, merging his own will with the Great Dao, the concept of ’body’ no longer existed for him; he became part of the Void Dao.
Because he had become part of the supreme, source of all things, the Great Dao, he truly attained immortality, unless over the long annihilation of the universe, his will gradually decays and is eroded by the Dao; otherwise, no external force could cause his downfall.
With just a thought, he could manifest in any part of the universe, able to manifest any Void Avatar.
What are Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs or Three Veins Perfection in front of the supreme power of the Dao Venerable? They are like ants; with just a thought, he could traverse the endless void and crush an entity of Three Veins Perfection.
If he were to describe this feeling, he would say the entire universe is like a picture on a flat surface, and the Dao Venerable has extended half a body from the painting, his life level having reached a higher dimension.
However,
they have only extended half of their body; they have not truly walked out of the painting, not transcended from this universe.
Even the most powerful Primordial Palace Master, Primordial Lord, and the other four top Venerables have not walked out of this painting either; they have only extended most of their bodies, nearly half of it.
“This vast universe truly is as I imagined.”
Chen Mu lowered his gaze from the Origin River above the nine heavens, piercing through the entire endless universe.
Just as he had once felt about the universe, speaking of vastness, it is indeed boundless, birthing millions of Space Seats, but speaking of smallness, it indeed is small, existing merely within a speck of ’dust’.
To ordinary living beings, or those Divine Monarchs, the vast universe is naturally immense, but for a Venerable who has extended half their body from the universe, whose life level touches a higher dimension, this universe is very, very small.
At this moment,
Chen Mu could also see that this endless universe is gradually collapsing, with worlds at the edges continuously being destroyed, space domains shattering, and Space Seats collapsing.
This collapse results from the aggregation of the three origin Daos, forming a supreme rule that even he, as a Dao Venerable, cannot stop the universe from moving towards annihilation. But he has completed joining the Dao, and though the universe may perish, the Great Dao will not; he will not perish with the universe’s end, and he will witness the universe’s annihilation and the birth of the next universe.
The elevation of one’s life level is an experience difficult to describe with words.
From transforming from a Divine Monarch to a Dao Venerable, this leap is almost more unique than becoming a God Realm from a mortal being. When a mortal steps into the God Realm, their flesh and blood simply transform into a body of divine power, their Life Seal transforming into divine power’s essence.
But in achieving Dao Venerable, the concept of ’divine power’ ceases to exist, transcending existence and nihility, transcending matter and creation, also transcending time and space.
At this moment,
Chen Mu overlooked the world, gazing upon the endless universe, feeling that the myriad worlds were like stars, all life forms were so beautiful and magnificent, and nothing could obstruct his vision, with only an extreme beauty to perceive.
Even though this universe is marching towards decay, its beauty cannot be hidden. Yet, to truly appreciate the universe’s beauty, only by becoming the supreme Dao Venerable can one have such a perspective.
Otherwise, one merely remains sunk within the universe, one among the multitude, incapable of leaping out of the universe, naturally unable to witness its true wonders.
And just as Chen Mu stood high in the Origin River, high above the nine heavens, admiring the myriad worlds of the universe and its countless lives, the light of the Great Dao surrounding him finally gradually faded, and then a series of auras approached him.
“Congratulations, Daoist friend, for transcending reincarnation and proving the Void Dao Body.”
The first to appear was a hazy figure, displaying an appearance of a simple Taoist, who smilingly saluted Chen Mu and said, “This seat’s Dao title is ’Wu Liang’, greetings to Daoist friend Chen.”
Chen Mu, looking at the appearing Venerable Wu Liang, also moved a thought, manifesting a body in simple blue attire, similarly clasping his hands in salute: “Greetings, Dao Brother Wu Liang.”
“Hahaha, the world gains another Dao Venerable, Chen Venerate’s ability to achieve the Venerable position through the Void Dao is amazing. This seat is Yuan Hong, congratulating Chen Venerate.”
Accompanied by laughter, another figure appeared in view, seated on a multicolored Lotus Platform, his body shrouded in the light of the Great Dao, his true appearance unseen.
“Yuan Hong Venerate.”
Faced with another Dao Venerable’s congratulations, Chen Mu also returned the courtesy.
Upon reaching the Realm of Dao Venerable, one is already transcendent above the universe, thus the forms of address among such beings tend to be quite casual. There are those like Venerable Wu Liang who refer to each other as Dao Brother, while some respectfully address one another as ’Heavenly Venerable,’ and others simply use the honorific of Venerable.
After Chen Mu achieved the status of Dao Venerable, his past history merged entirely into the Great Dao, making it unobservable. However, for those who are also Dao Venerables, knowing Chen Mu’s past titles and names is not difficult.
“Hehehe, Chen Venerate, this seat is Wutian, I greet you.”
In the dim and hazy atmosphere, another silhouette appeared, draped in a pitch-black robe, concealing the entirety of his form within the darkness. Yet, he did not give off a sense of evil; instead, a majestic and imposing aura emanated from him, indicating that he too was a Dao Venerable.
He chuckled warmly, cupping his hands slightly towards Chen Mu, and said, “Speaking of which, there seems to be some causality between Chen Venerate and myself. Previously, Chen Venerate inadvertently lent me a helping hand.”
“Hm?”
Chen Mu glanced at Venerable Wutian, first returning his courtesy, then upon hearing Venerable Wutian’s words, he was slightly surprised. However, after exchanging a glance across the void with Venerable Wutian, he immediately understood the reason.
He clapped his hands and laughed, saying, “All is due to the encounters of causality, Dao Brother Wutian, there’s no need for thanks.”
At that time, he faced a Venerable-level exotic beast in Wuxiang City. He exerted all his might not to simply withstand and survive, nor to buy additional moments for Venerable Wutian. He did it to glimpse more Venerable-level techniques, accumulating insights for his own comprehension of the Great Dao. Nevertheless, Venerable Wutian being able to resolve that exotic beast was indeed slightly related to him by causality.
Soon,
one by one, over two hundred Dao Venerables either sent messages of congratulations from afar or manifested avatars to personally congratulate Chen Mu, displaying friendliness and the intent to form connections.
For Chen Mu, who had already achieved Dao Venerable status, the concept of being “overwhelmed” did not apply. As over two hundred Dao Venerables offered their congratulations, Chen Mu manifested avatars for those who came in person and returned courtesy via voice transmission for those who sent voice messages.
Those who actively revealed avatars to express friendliness and intentions of forming connections were predominantly newly ascended Venerables of the current cosmic reincarnation era, as well as a few from the previous two cosmic reincarnations. Most achieved their Venerable positions through the Creation Lineage, and as Creation Venerables, they aspired to grasp more Great Dao, advancing further on the path of transcendence.
In every cosmic cycle of rebirth and annihilation, the vast majority of living beings attain Dao status through the Creation Lineage.
For someone like Chen Mu, who first attained Dao through the Void Lineage, he is among the few. Naturally, the many Creation Venerables wished to establish connections with Chen Mu, even if they could not unite in the future, having exchanges and discussions about Dao posed no harm.
Chen Mu did not resist the intentions of these Dao Venerables to engage with him. Having reached his current level, he too needed to comprehend the Time and Creation Veins. Forming connections and exchanging Dao insights with many Creation Venerables was only beneficial without any drawbacks.
Meanwhile,
in the Da Xuan World.
The Immortal Mountain Temple located at the heart of the Heavenly Realm in the Da Xuan World, the tallest of its kind, had vanished without a trace.
Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and others were all gazing up at the high heavens. Although they knew in their hearts that Chen Mu likely had already succeeded in proving the Dao and achieving the position of Dao Venerable, the fact that both Chen Mu and the Immortal Mountain Temple had vanished without a trace, with no trace of Chen Mu’s presence felt throughout the world, inevitably caused a spark of unease in their hearts.
After all, no one truly understands the journey to achieving Dao Venerable status.
“Aunt.”
Chen Yao approached Chen Yue, a trace of worry in her eyes as she looked towards the Heavens Vault above.
She couldn’t help but worry.
Because she was now also a Divine Monarch, a figure within the Creation Lineage of Divine Monarchs, and her bloodline was inherently connected with Chen Mu. Yet, just moments ago, she felt all those causal bloodline connections completely sever.
Even with her current realm, she could no longer detect any trace of Chen Mu’s presence, nor establish any contact with him. This unsettling scenario of the complete disappearance of Chen Mu and the Immortal Mountain Palace without return inevitably stirred unease within her heart.
“It’s all right.”
Chen Yue glanced at Chen Yao, gently shaking her head.
She too gazed towards the high heavens, yet her heart wasn’t filled with much worry because she had always believed in Chen Mu.
Finally,
amid the quietness, a voice gently emerged.
“Hongyu, Yue’er, Yao’er…”
Everyone turned their heads towards the sound, only to see Chen Mu’s silhouette quietly appearing at the once-gone place of the Immortal Mountain Palace in the void, at some unknown time. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, the Immortal Mountain, which had previously disappeared into the Great Dao’s light, quietly reappeared.
Subsequently,
Chen Mu looked at everyone, revealing a gentle smile.
Seeing Chen Mu finally reappear, Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, Chen Yao, and others let out a breath of relief, displaying expressions of joy.
