Chapter 1512: Chapter 726: Great Dao Treasures
“Roar!”
The Venerable Level Crystal Beast let out an angry roar, struggling desperately. The power it unleashed caused the vast crystal valley to shatter incessantly, crisscrossing the land with cracks, beneath which layers of Crystal Jade were exposed.
The power constantly surged from these Crystal Jades, which was mobilized by the Venerable Level Crystal Beast, but wave after wave, it was suppressed by Wutian Venerable and Chen Mu and others, resulting in large sections of collapse and shattering.
Thus,
after a brief confrontation, the Crystal Beast finally emitted a low growl and its massive body collapsed with a thud.
“This creature took advantage of the terrain, making it slightly troublesome to deal with.”
Seeing this, Wutian Venerable immediately withdrew his hand and smiled at everyone.
A normal Venerable Level Exotic Beast can be subdued by a single Dao Venerable with a bit of effort, but this Venerable Level Exotic Beast, due to its advantageous position, was able to draw power from the nearby Primordial Power, withstanding their siege by eight Dao Venerables for a while, before finally being subdued.
“It took some effort, but it was worth the gain.”
The Beast Divine Venerable nodded slightly, then stepped forward, instantly arriving beside the Crystal Beast’s corpse and crouched down to carefully observe its state.
The Venerable Level Exotic Beast, though called a ’beast’, is essentially a form of primordial life. Its body is not of flesh and blood; after death, its internal will dissipates, leaving a corpse that, in some sense, is a type of marvel.
Swish.
At this time, Chen Mu’s eyes flickered, and he stepped forward alongside the Crystal Beast.
Following them, Wutian Venerable, Venerable Sun, and others gathered around to examine the Venerable Level Exotic Beast’s corpse. Although it wasn’t the moment to delve into comprehension or distribution of profits, a brief observation was not inappropriate.
“Indeed, it has fused the Powers of Creation and Time.”
Chen Mu gazed at the Venerable Level Exotic Beast’s corpse, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
This Venerable Level Exotic Beast had previously employed methods of the Power of Time, and now observing its remains, the composition of its body and the essence of power is a mix of four Mystical Principles of the Creation Lineage and two of the Time Lineage.
The Primordial Power composed of six different Mystical Principles of the Great Dao is indeed extraordinary. A single Dao Venerable facing this Exotic Beast would find it challenging to subdue it.
Chen Mu contemplated while examining the Exotic Beast’s corpse, while the Beast Divine Venerable and others showed a hint of regret after a short observation.
“It’s a pity, it’s Time and Creation.”
“Yes.”
After a brief confirmation, Wutian Venerable also shook his head slightly.
For most Dao Venerables, having validated their path in one lineage, the subsequent path is to cultivate other Daos, until achieving Perfection in the Three Veins, then attempt the fusion of different Daos.
Most Dao Venerables generally cultivate in the order of Creation, Void, and finally Time, as Time is the most difficult to comprehend, thus after mastering the Three Veins, only very few would try to fuse the Time Dao; most would first attempt the fusion of Void and Creation.
Moreover,
Wutian Venerable and others, while already mastering the Creation, mainly focus on the Void Lineage currently; the Time Lineage isn’t their primary focus for now, therefore the corpse of this Exotic Beast holds little value for comprehension to them.
However, for Chen Mu, he was quite interested in researching it. Given his current level, he should explore the fusion of the Great Dao while comprehending the complete Time Dao.
“Chen Venerate, as per the previous agreement, this Exotic Beast’s corpse will be temporarily stored by you.”
Wutian Venerable said, looking towards Chen Mu.
“Alright.”
Chen Mu did not decline, he immediately stepped forward, waved his sleeve, and a Void Force enveloped, instantly making the Exotic Beast’s corpse disappear, hidden somewhere within a deep dimension.
The prior agreement suited him well; storing the gain temporarily meant he could allocate a bit of focus on researching these gains, exploring the Dao, while continuing the collaborative exploration with others.
For ordinary Dao Venerables, it is hard to allocate much focus while exploring the Source Sea, a relatively dangerous place, but having mastered both the Void and Creation Daos, Chen Mu now, in exploring Source Sea, only exhibits the Void Dao, with ample surplus energy remaining, naturally being at ease.
The part of his focus and energy he reserved is presently mostly invested in the comprehension of the Time Dao.
“Let’s proceed and continue exploring.”
“Yes.”
After watching Chen Mu store away the Exotic Beast’s corpse, neither the Beast Divine Venerable nor the others said much. After exchanging glances, they promptly left this place and continued to venture deeper into the land.
…
In the boundless center of the Wilderness.
One can see a towering giant mountain standing between heaven and earth. The entire peak appeared in a deep brown color, looking like thick layers of rock, but in reality, it was extremely substantial Primordial Power. The thickness of this Primordial Power was somewhat exaggerated; even a Dao Venerable, wielding the full Power of Dao, would at most cause slight damage.
At the peak of this mountain, there was a sunken deep well at its center. This deep well stretched downward, penetrating the entire mountain, reaching directly to the bottom. At the base, a fierce flame was continuously surging, with waves of unstable Power of Dao rippling within.
Perceiving it closely, one could sense as if a Dao Venerable were recklessly unleashing moves, attacking in all directions, but due to the mountain made entirely of solid Primordial Power, this outburst of Power of Dao was completely suppressed.
Beside this deep well leading to the mountain’s base.
About a dozen figures stood, vaguely divided into two factions, one with about seven people, and the other with eight. Each was a Dao Venerable, subtly confronting each other.
Both sides faced each other from a distance, yet neither took action, seemingly awaiting something.
Just like that,
It was unclear how much time passed, but the dozen Dao Venerables standing atop the peak suddenly sensed something, each frowning slightly, with some glancing towards a distant direction.
“Yet another group is arriving…”
One of the Dao Venerables shook their head, demeanor somewhat displeased.
Having discovered such a place and finding a Great Dao object in the process of being nurtured, they originally thought they could occupy it alone, but before the Great Dao object could take shape, another team of Dao Venerables arrived here.
What was initially an exclusive occupation suddenly turned into standoff between two teams, and now they sensed another team approaching, evidently making the situation more complex.
But there was nothing they could do.
The Great Dao object had yet to form, and even as Dao Venerables, they could not forcibly make it take shape. All they could somewhat ascertain was that the Great Dao object nurtured at the base belonged to the Void Lineage.
As the two groups of Dao Venerables atop the mountain looked toward a distant direction, several figures gradually emerged, rapidly closing the distance.
The one leading them was Wutian Venerable.
Wutian Venerable, along with Chen Mu, Beast Divine Venerable, and others, rushed over, observing the situation from afar. Each of their hearts stirred, a hint of eagerness flashing in their eyes.
Though they didn’t yet know what was there, if it warranted two teams of Dao Venerables’ confrontation, surely, a precious resource was being born, likely a Great Dao object!
“Greetings, fellow Daoists.”
Wutian Venerable approached the peak with everyone, first addressing the more than ten Dao Venerables stationed there.
“Wutian.”
“Beast Divine.”
“Hmph.”
The dozen or so Dao Venerables atop the peak were mostly acquaintances with Wutian Venerable, but even those slightly familiar with him didn’t look pleased. After all, Wutian Venerable led a team of eight Dao Venerables, clearly not easily driven away.
This forthcoming Great Dao object now had another competitive force, complicating the situation even further.
Wutian Venerable, wearing a smile, swept his gaze over everyone without provoking, not wanting the two different factions to unite against them.
He first reached the peak, casting his eyes toward the deep well’s center, immediately spotting the blazing light wheel at its base, where the Power of Dao was erupting continuously. With just a slight perception, a gleam flashed across his eyes.
Great Dao object!
As anticipated, a Great Dao object was indeed being nurtured here, and it belonged to the Void Lineage!
Other figures like Beast Divine Venerable and Venerable Sun, upon seeing the Great Dao object at the mountain’s core, also had eager gleams in their eyes.
Void Lineage’s Great Dao object!
For them, the Void Lineage’s Great Dao object was highly coveted as they were comprehending the Void Lineage. Having a Void Lineage’s Great Dao object for comprehension would be invaluable.
In their eyes, the value of the Void Lineage’s Great Dao object even surpassed the Creation Lineage, as they had already mastered Creation. Acquiring a Creation Wondrous Object would at most refine a Creation Lineage’s supreme treasure, enhancing strength but not the Realm of Dao.
At the Venerable Level, Realm is undoubtedly the foundation.
“The Void Lineage, huh.”
Only Chen Mu gazed at the Great Dao object being nurtured at the base without much fluctuation in his heart. For him, neither the Void Treasure nor the Creation Wondrous Object held much significance. Only the Time Wondrous Object had some utility, aiding in comprehending the Time Dao slightly faster, but that was simply ’slight’. After all, delving into Time was merely a matter of time for him.
Currently, only Primordial Marvels, gathering different Daos, could stir waves within his heart.
