Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1490 - 715: Wuxiang City Lord (Part 3)

Chapter 1490: Chapter 715: Wuxiang City Lord (Part 3)

Although he is also undying and immortal like a Dao Venerable, this kind of immortality is merely a ’false immortality’. Dao Venerables endure endless time, and without a breakthrough, they will gradually be eroded by the Great Dao, and his erosion is even more severe. Every Universe Silence wipes away all of his past.

“Seeking the path is difficult, inquiring about the path is difficult, proving the path is even more difficult.”

Chen Mu took a sip of tea, a glint appeared in his eyes, and said: “But the Great Dao always holds a glimmer of hope. With unity of knowledge and action, and after pursuing, there is always a chance to attain the Dao. The City Lord need not be so despondent.”

Seeing that glimmer of confidence in Chen Mu’s eyes, as if nothing in the world could shake his conviction, the City Lord of Wuxiang also raised his tea cup and took a sip, sighing: “Friend Chen, your will is like a blade, your faith is like a ray of light, proving the Dao was no coincidence.”

Upon hearing the City Lord of Wuxiang’s words, Chen Yue and Chen Yao, who stood beside Chen Mu, looked at Chen Mu’s figure, their eyes also reflecting a dazzling light.

Of course!

Chen Mu rose from obscurity, his talent amazed the world, surpassing all, advancing step by step solely on his extraordinary talent and abilities, appearing almighty in their eyes, he was their pride. Becoming a Dao Venerable was certainly not accidental!

When Chen Mu heard the City Lord of Wuxiang’s praise at this time, he only gave a slight smile, yet did not verbally express modesty. In the past, he was stable-minded and would always be somewhat modest, but now he is a Dao Venerable, one of the highest existences in the world, naturally having no need to be modest, and he can casually view all praise.

“In my opinion, if the City Lord wishes for transcendence, to escape the sea of suffering, it might be better to abandon the current karmic consequences and start anew.”

Chen Mu paused briefly and then voiced his suggestion.

The City Lord of Wuxiang is different from him; Chen Mu achieved the Dao Venerable by relying entirely on his own strength, through a complete inspiration of the Origin Dao, which is the most orthodox path to attain the Dao. In contrast, the City Lord of Wuxiang relied on the rules of the Source Realm and external forces, thus facing significant restrictions. Although he attained venerability, he seems to be squeezed between thresholds, being unable to advance or retreat.

With his current realm and power, the City Lord of Wuxiang could actually forcibly break the rules of the Source Realm, but his attainment of the Dao relies on these rules, and if he forcefully breaks them, his own attained venerability would also shatter.

In the end, he would only be able to cast a wisp of true spirit into the Origin River, to reincarnate in the next Universe Creation.

In this way, he would lose all strength, the venerability of the City Lord of Wuxiang, and even his own memories might not be preserved after rebirth. If he cannot regain his venerability status after reincarnation, he will once again fall into the sea of suffering and sink.

But if he can, with his reincarnated self, rely on his own abilities, prove the Dao Venerable in the external universe, he will immediately become a complete Dao Venerable, and everything he lost—past, memories, all would be retrieved by him one by one.

“Start anew, huh.”

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s words, the City Lord of Wuxiang fell into deep thought.

In fact, he was very aware of this method, but he couldn’t make up his mind. Although every Universe Silence would annihilate him, in the next Universe Creation, he would still be the City Lord of Wuxiang, still hold the venerable position, only a step away from transcendence, at least would not sink into the sea of suffering.

But if he were to abandon all of this and reincarnate anew, there would be no retreat, and without success, he would once more become one among the endless masses, swallowed and disappear in the sea of suffering.

Seeing the City Lord of Wuxiang was lost in thought, Chen Mu did not disturb him, quietly finished the Spiritual Tea in his cup, then stood up and said: “Carve through chaos and hold the starfire, tread upon the skies and seize the moonlight… City Lord, I shall take my leave now.”

With that,

Chen Mu turned with Chen Yue and Chen Yao, leaving the City Lord of Wuxiang standing alone, looking up at the Heavens Vault, with his eyes showing flickering darkly.
