Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1488 - 715: Wuxiang City Lord
Chapter 1488: Chapter 715: Wuxiang City Lord
Wuxiang City.
Chen Mu maneuvered a beam of light, standing gracefully in the void, with Chen Yue and Chen Yao accompanying him.
As a Void Venerable, he could move freely within the Source Realm, unhindered by the chaotic void within. However, he didn’t resist intentionally, and by a stroke of serendipity, he brought Chen Yue and Chen Yao back into the Source Realm, arriving first and foremost at Wuxiang City once more.
“This is Wuxiang City, a trinity with Wuxiang River and Wuxiang Mountain.”
To Chen Mu now, Wuxiang City held no more secrets. He could even perceive the entire structure of the Wuxiang City area clearly. The City Lord stabilizes the void, Wuxiang River submerges creation, and Wuxiang Mountain transforms with time.
These three distinct areas each embody one of the three Origin Daos.
Wuxiang River almost connects with the Creation River, thus its waters contain supreme Creation Power, which cannot be withstood by anyone short of a Venerable. Any living being below the level of a Venerable who falls into it would instantly have all traces of their existence, including causality and forms, erased by the waters of creation.
Thus, any living being that falls into Wuxiang River is not only doomed to perish, but even the memories about them held by others would disappear, completely vanishing and erasing all traces.
“Truly a wonder of the universe.”
Standing by Chen Mu’s side, Chen Yue observed the grand city gate and the far-reaching Wuxiang River, her eyes flickering with light.
Under Chen Mu’s protection, she could calmly stand under the rules of Wuxiang City and observe the structure of this world, a structure unmatched by any Secret Realm she had explored before.
The rules of the Great Dao were almost in a directly manifest form, surpassing even the structure of the Ninth Layer Void.
In such an area, even the Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch would likely be heavily suppressed. Even if they could shake the void here, they could at most tear a gap of a dozen feet, far from achieving the earth-shaking power they wield in the universe outside.
Creation of heaven and earth, causality cycles, self-contained and complete.
“I can’t see through it.”
Chen Yao frowned as she observed the world and Wuxiang City.
With her current realm, she couldn’t comprehend the structure of Wuxiang City. The ’mortals’ within it seemed simple yet extraordinary. Though of flesh and blood, they could thrive under such extreme Dao suppression as if they were normal human beings; this was an inconceivable feat in itself.
“Don’t understand?”
Chen Mu gazed down at Wuxiang City, looking at the familiar scenes within the city and the many mortals walking through its alleys, smiling faintly as he said, “Causality cycles, neither increasing nor diminishing, that is creation. The people in this city, though appearing to be of flesh and blood and mundane, are also living beings manifested under the unique rules of this domain.”
“And if you think they are just mortal beings, you’d be wrong; they were not always mundane beings in the past…”
Chen Mu’s eyes were clear. For him now, not only had he comprehended the Void Dao, but he also wielded the Creation Dao. In his eyes, all transformations of causality were clear and visible.
Like Wuxiang City, the surface rules seemed simple, but the underlying rules were equally extraordinary.
The mundane people living in Wuxiang City seemed mundane, but in fact, they were once Divine Monarchs who had fallen into Wuxiang River, or some God Realm beings who perished in the Source Realm.
These beings met their demise in the Source Realm, and the Creation Power washed away their memories and wills, erasing all traces, resembling reincarnation, becoming mortal beings and falling into Wuxiang City.
As the saying goes, neither increasing nor diminishing!
Absolute death never exists; death is but a transformation from one form to another for all living beings. This is particularly evident in Wuxiang City, something Chen Mu of the past couldn’t understand, but now he could glimpse its essence.
“To think it is like this.”
After hearing Chen Mu’s explanation, Chen Yue and Chen Yao were a little astonished.
With their realms, they couldn’t yet grasp the true mysteries of creation and the concept of neither increasing nor diminishing. Upon hearing Chen Mu reveal the essence of Wuxiang City, they were astonished as they turned their gaze towards the multitudes walking the streets within Wuxiang City.
These flesh-and-blood ’mortal beings’ were all once Divine Monarchs who fell in the Source Realm?
“Yet, even in the vast universe, there are countless Divine Monarchs, but those who truly reach the Ninth Layer Heavens, enter the Source Realm, and just happen to fall into Wuxiang River shouldn’t be that many.”
Chen Yao looked at the nearly billions of living beings in the city and questioned in confusion.
Chen Mu gave her a nuanced look and said, “The concept of neither increasing nor diminishing is naturally not limited to this one cycle of the universe. The universe has cycled numerous times, and the Source Realm has shattered and reformed countless times. The Divine Monarchs who fell here in the past have reappeared, for they cannot leave behind their traces in the Origin River. As such, they cannot trace back to their past, making it equally correct to say they have perished or have reappeared in another form.”
“Only a Dao Venerable can leave an indelible mark in the Origin River.”
Upon hearing Chen Mu’s words,
Chen Yue murmured in shock, “I see.”
A small Wuxiang City, in terms of domain expanse, is far less than a Space Seat, and not even as big as a Space Domain, but because it is a special domain within the Source Realm, its underlying rules everywhere reveal the profound mysteries of the Creation Dao.
