Chapter 1524: Chapter 731: Primordial’s Invitation_2

Even if the seven of them joined forces, they couldn’t stand against the current Chen Mu.

If Chen Mu intended to go against their previous agreement and claim those resources for himself, they had no right to contest and could only accept it.

Just as Venerable Wutian and the others were anxious, Chen Mu finally turned his gaze towards them.

His expression unchanged, he spoke calmly, “Fellow Daoists, according to the agreement, you may take what you need from the resources we’ve acquired, and distribute them among yourselves. I will only take this Primordial Marvel. What do you all think?”

Having said this,

Chen Mu waved his hand, and the various resources collected earlier with Venerable Wutian and others, including many corpses of Venerable Level Exotic Beasts and Great Dao marvels, appeared in the void.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Wutian and the others were pleased and responded in unison:

“We have no objections.”

Although they couldn’t touch that Primordial Marvel, which was slightly disappointing, they all knew very well that the entire process of obtaining this Primordial Marvel had nothing to do with their seven, purely Chen Mu’s acquisition. Even if they managed to seize it, they couldn’t defend it before the Primordial Palace Master and would inevitably lose it.

To claim a Primordial Marvel, merely mastering a single type of Great Dao was far from enough, even someone like Black Blade Venerable, mastering two types of Great Dao, would find it very challenging to touch a Primordial Marvel alone.

Basically,

In the universe, aside from the Primordial Palace Master and five Supreme Venerables like Chen Mu, only those ancient Venerables who mastered three types of Great Dao had some right to claim one on their own, as they had some self-defense capability against Supreme Venerables.

Other than that, only an entire force composed of many Dao Venerables had the right to claim a Primordial Marvel. Nowadays, many Primordial Marvels are distributed in this way.

Swish.

Venerable Wutian and the others stepped forward, immediately starting to divide their respective resources and gains. Although the Source Sea had utterly collapsed and there was still a little time, they had already gained enough and no one planned to risk further exploration.

Chen Mu watched Venerable Wutian and the others as they divided their loot without listening much to how they distributed or disputed among themselves. After casually putting away the Primordial Marvel, he stepped forward and disappeared quietly from the spot.

…

Outside the Source Sea.

In the vast nihility, Chen Mu’s figure quietly appeared.

This place was supposed to be a realm within the universe, but now that the universe had shattered, it was a space of nihility, pure nihility where neither matter, space, nor time existed.

Only Dao Venerables could wander in such pure nihility.

Chen Mu crossed out of the Source Sea, then turned around, overlooking the entire Source Sea. In his gaze, he could see that the Primordial Sea built from three types of Origin Dao in a chaotic form was gradually collapsing and annihilating.

The power of all Origin Dao contained within the entire Source Sea was being slowly absorbed by the Origin River and reorganized, from chaos into order, and engulfed, turning into trickling streams within the Origin River.

Meanwhile, as Chen Mu observed the changes in the Source Sea.

Somewhere in the Source Sea.

In the deepest part of a dazzling silver ocean, a figure in golden armor sat cross-legged.

In front of him, at the deepest part of the silver sea, was a magnificent and vast giant vortex, with the surging Primordial Power continuously flowing and condensing at its center, brewing a marvel.

Suddenly,

The cross-legged figure, resting his spear across his lap, opened his eyes, reflecting the light of the Origin Dao within his pupils.

“Another fellow Daoist…”

The Primordial Lord murmured softly, “In one cosmic cycle, two fellow Daoists were born. Could there be some connection between him and Cang Mang Venerable?”

The Primordial Lord, a Supreme Venerable and an ancient existence, knew that it wasn’t easy for the vast universe to birth a Supreme Venerable, often not even after dozens of cosmic cycles.

But during this Reincarnation Era, first came the enlightenment of Cang Mang Hall Master, followed by the sudden emergence of Chen Mu.

Did the Supreme Origin undergo some change?

Or was there some special situation between these two?

Swish.

The Primordial Lord’s eyes reflected a strand of light, his gaze looking into the Origin River, trying to find information about Chen Mu.

However, his sight over the past and future only encountered chaos, revealing no mysteries.

Both being Supreme Venerables, they had on the foundation of mastering three types of Origin Dao further penetrated the truth of the Dao, achieving an initial fusion of the Great Dao, making it naturally difficult to glimpse into each other.

In reality, the Primordial Lord paid attention to the world’s Dao Venerables, and when Chen Mu achieved Dao Venerable status, he intentionally observed him. But aside from seeing Chen Mu’s impressive talent and aptitude on the path of cultivation, he saw no abnormality.

“Everyone has their chances, who knows who will take that step in the end.”

After a fruitless investigation, the Primordial Lord slightly shook his head and cast his gaze again toward the whirlpool ahead.

Boom!

At the next moment, the vortex trembled, and a silver light flowed, with a complete marvel emerging from within it.

“Just a Great Dao marvel.”

The Primordial Lord glanced at it and lost interest, casually waving his hand to forcibly capture and retrieve it, then stood up, lifting his Divine Spear, and stepped out to disappear into the depths of the silver sea.

…

River of Time.

Nestled within the crevices of time and space, on a lone island.

An elder in a straw raincoat sat by the island’s edge, holding a simple fishing rod, seemingly just a casual twig from a tree, with the fishing line carelessly tied to its tip.

He appeared to be just an ordinary elder fishing in the mortal world, but upon closer inspection, it was evident that with each slight movement of the rod, time rippled, and the void shifted along with the line.

He was the Island Master of Time-Space Island, one among the topmost Supreme Venerables like the Primordial Palace Master, equally ancient.

Indeed,

Rumor had it that the Island Master of Time-Space’s ancientness surpassed even the Primordial Palace Master.

“Another one…”

The Island Master of Time-Space sat there, unmoved as the nearby time-space continuously intertwined and drifted, yet his aura was of sheer desolation, with only a dim gleam passing through his eyes.

Only the Island Master himself knew his time was running out.

Though he mastered time-space and even fused time with the void, he had experienced too many times of Universe Silence, his will eroded by the Origin Dao till barely anything remained, becoming something close to pure time-space rules.

Many believed the Island Master of Time-Space wasn’t interested in intervening in universal matters and hadn’t established a force like the Time Temple. The truth was he wasn’t unwilling, but rather he had become like a gradually decaying piece of driftwood.

In the past,

Time-Space Island wasn’t isolated, it had myriad living beings, even his friends and relatives, frequently accompanying him, including some Dao Venerables who submitted to him.

Yet, over dozens to hundreds of cosmic cycles, all that faded. Whether his old companions or the Dao Venerables who once joined Time-Space Island to discuss the Dao, their wills disappeared within the Dao, blending into the Origin River, becoming part of the supreme rules.

Now,

The Island Master of Time-Space even lost interest in the Source Sea. He knew that no matter how many Primordial Marvels he claimed from it, they wouldn’t aid him. He understood that the gap between him and Transcendence wasn’t about the mysteries within Primordial Marvels.

He might have taken the wrong path, but knowing it now was already too late.
