Great Xuanwu Sheng

Qixuanzong, forbidden area.

After bidding farewell to Xu Hongyu and his party, Chen Mu returned to the forbidden area and retreated again.

I saw him sitting cross-legged in the deepest cave of the forbidden area, with a hazy mist of chaos floating in front of him. His whole body's Qi was connected to that hazy mist, as if he was trying to guide and control it. Make this mist condense and change.

This hazy mist is exactly the mass of Hunyuan Qi he obtained in the Bingzhou Abyss in his early years!

Hunyuan Qi is also a very rare thing in the world. After he got it, it was of little use for the time being. But now, as if guided by fate, this ball of Hunyuan Qi has come in handy, because the third level of soul refining requires it. Qi guides!

now,

In Chen Mu's sight, the system panel appeared clearly.

[Soul Dao: Soul Refining (Second Level)]

[Experience: 1117 points]

To reach the third level of soul refining, you need a full four thousand experience points, and now Chen Mu has accumulated a quarter of it. If there are no accidents, it will take another year at most. , you can master this third level.

"Go on."

Chen Mu quickly closed his eyes and fell into practice again.

Time flies.

Soon more than half a year passed.

For more than half a year, the whole world has been peaceful and nothing major has happened.

Xu Hongyu took Chen Yao back to Yu County to visit relatives. The round trip only took more than a month, and she did not encounter any accidents during this period. This is normal. After all, in today's world, even the Daxuan court would not dare to offend Xu Hongyu and Chen Yao in the slightest. .

However, Chen Yue did not follow Xu Hongyu and others back, but continued to change his route to Bijun to continue training.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Snowy.

Chen Mu is still retreating in the cave in the forbidden area.

He just sat there cross-legged, with a ball of Hunyuan Qi floating in front of him. After an unknown amount of time, he finally exhaled, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the system panel.

[Soul Dao: Soul Refining (Second Level)]

[Experience: 4000 points]

After a year, the experience of soul refining has finally been accumulated once again, and he will be able to break through to the third level.

Chen Mu didn't hesitate much. He was calm. With a thought, he consumed his experience and chose promotion.

Buzz! !

With a flash of light.

In an instant, countless experiences and insights came to my mind.

This is the same as the past experience of relying on the system panel to understand the first and second levels. Although this soul refining technique is not suitable for the training of body tempering martial arts, after the improvement of the system panel, it will be forcibly transformed into one suitable for him. means.

Zizzi!

In an instant, Chen Mu's blood surged, and a blazing flame condensed in front of him. It was blood fire!

Buzz!

The power of heaven and earth gathered together violently, and continued to meet in front of him, turning into a deep fire like a vortex, which was the heavenly fire condensed by the second level of soul refining!

And just when the blood fire and the sky fire were converging, he saw two groups of flames intersecting towards the center, slowly blending with the Hunyuan Qi floating in front of him.

Originally, when blood fire and sky fire come into contact with Hunyuan Qi, they should dissolve into Hunyuan Qi in an instant and turn into chaos.

But the blood fire made by Chen Mu with the surging blood energy contains a trace of immortality that transcends heaven and earth. Even the Hunyuan energy at the beginning of all things cannot be wiped out.

The same goes for that ball of sky fire. Although it is called sky fire, it is actually the fire of the divine soul. It is a burning bit of 'divine fire' that uses the power of heaven and earth as nourishment to burn. After being integrated into the Hunyuan Qi, it also did not disintegrate.

Sizzle!

In this way, two balls of fire and one ball of Hunyuan Qi were constantly intertwined and blended with each other, and finally merged completely, turning into a ball of pitch-black fire. Just looking at it would make people feel heart-stopping.

The formation of this ball of black flames is the symbol of the third level of soul refining.

Hunyuan Fire!

As this ball of Hunyuan Fire took shape, the data on Chen Mu's system panel also changed quietly.

[Soul Path: Soul Refining (Third Level)]

[Experience: 0 points]

The art of soul refining has finally reached the third level, which is also the last level of this art.

However, Chen Mu did not look at the changes on the system panel at this time. Instead, he stared at the black flames with a thoughtful expression. Then with a thought, he took out the Qiankun bottle and took out a strange black beads.

That black bead was exactly the one he got from Yang Qingshan, the Heavenly Man of the Shaman Sect, after he killed him in the battle in Kyoto. Its interior still contained the jet-black flames controlled by Yang Qingshan.

"Hunyuan fire?"

Chen Mu held the God-Resisting Pearl in his hand and examined it carefully, only to find that the black flame contained in the God-Resisting Pearl was slightly different from the black flame he had developed at the third level of his divine refining technique.

The 'Hunyuan Fire' he has practiced is much more violent. If he doesn't control it, it may spread in an instant and turn into a terrifying world-destroying flame, covering the entire cave and even the entire mountain. Burn it.

But the black flame in the Divine Control Pearl is much more docile and can be controlled with the heart and soul.

Both have the same characteristics, but also have differences.

The black flames in the Godly Control Pearl are like a more docile product formed by the Hunyuan Fire after being tempered and subdued, but its power and properties are also weaker than the Hunyuan Fire.

"According to this, if you hold this divine bead, you can also use the black flame in it to temper your soul... But to do this, you must at least condense a little bit of immortal spiritual light as the foundation of your soul."

A thought flashed through Chen Mu's mind.

He quickly shook his head and put the divine bead away again.

Now that he has the Hunyuan Fire cultivated according to the system and the soul-refining technique, he doesn't need to explore the black flame in the divine bead in detail. After he calmed down, he moved his mind, and his soul instantly dispersed from his body and merged with the Hunyuan Fire!

Buzz! ! !

The burning sensation came, and it was an unspeakable pain. This pain was a hundred times worse than physical pain. It was not something that ordinary people could resist, and it was enough to kill ordinary people.

But for Chen Mu now, such pain only made him frown slightly, and he took it.

At this moment.

It can be seen that nearly 90% of his soul is refined to be crystal clear, with a trace of immortal breath, and only a very small part of it is left, still maintaining a dim luster.

Before, he used blood fire and sky fire to refine it with all his strength, but this was the limit. No matter what, it was difficult to refine the remaining little bit into an immortal aura. But now, after being burned by the Hunyuan Fire, his dim soul immediately began to transform!

Zizi.

In the intense pain of the soul, the dim corner of the soul was constantly burned by the Hunyuan Fire, like a gold mine that was hammered and refined, gradually removing impurities and hammering out the real gold!

The dim part slowly emitted a faint aura and spread a little bit.

Just like that.

I don’t know how long it took, that little aura finally completely covered the entire dim corner of the soul, and was completely connected with the entire crystal clear soul, turning into a complete whole!

Almost at this moment, Chen Mu felt that the pain of the Hunyuan Fire burning and tempering his soul suddenly dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented sense of emptiness. The whole person's consciousness suddenly jumped, constantly rising, and constantly rising, as if it would extend beyond the sky of this world!

In the dark.

He seemed to see a world, a huge world, just wrapped in the vast white light, floating in the endless dark void, it was the Daxuan world!

Near this vast Daxuan world, some other tiny light spots can be vaguely seen. They are the caves attached to the Daxuan world. Some are very close, almost attached to the surface of the Daxuan world, and some are a little far away.

Those that are a little further away are completely blurred and can't be seen clearly.

"This is... the appearance of the Daxuan world..."

Chen Mu looked at this strange scene and couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart.

It's not that his soul is strong enough to contain the entire Daxuan world, but after his soul has been tempered and completely transformed into a complete immortal soul, this world can no longer bind his soul!

At this moment.

His soul has transcended the world!

The only thing that is still bound by the world is his body, which cannot get rid of the shackles.

But even so, he has now reached the half-step god realm!

Chen Mu's consciousness is now standing at an infinitely high place, his thoughts blending with the world, existing at the top of the sky, overlooking the vast void outside.

Compared with the past, this time he peeked into the void, it was much clearer than any other time before. In the past, the distance he could see through the void was almost incalculable, and it was difficult to extend dozens of feet away. Even like a blind man touching an elephant, he could not see the true complete appearance of the void.

But this time, he saw it clearly.

Just like a fish in the river, it jumped high and finally jumped out of the water, and finally got a glimpse of the river bank.

But this fish is still lacking something, unable to really jump to the shore, and will eventually fall back into the river.

But this is enough.

For Chen Mu, even if he just stands on the ‘shore’ and looks at the entire void, the mystery of the void he can experience is far beyond the past. He doesn’t even need to call out the system panel, and he knows very well that the experience of the way of the void on the system panel must be accumulating continuously.

"Void."

Chen Mu looked at the vast void outside the Daxuan world and muttered to himself.

The void is like the sea!

This is his understanding at the moment.

The vast void is like a vast ocean, and the vast and endless power of the void is like the sea water, constantly rising and falling, like a tide, washing the Daxuan world.

But the boundary wall of the Daxuan world is completely gathered by the power of heaven and earth, and it is also extremely tough, able to withstand the erosion of the void tide. Occasionally, some cracks will be quickly healed in a moment.

However.

If Chen Mu looks at it from his current state, he can vaguely distinguish that the healing of this crack is consuming the power of heaven and earth, and the healing process is also gradually slowing down, but the progress is extremely small, almost unrememberable.

But even if it is a small change, if it is placed on the scale of a long time, it will turn into a earth-shaking change. Even this vast world will completely collapse and disintegrate one day after experiencing the endless future!

Suddenly.

Chen Mu had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart.

Perhaps there is no real immortality in this world. The immortality he thought of, the immortality he achieved after entering the realm of God, is just a leap from one pond to another more vast pond.

Even a world like the Daxuan world will decay one day under the constant cleansing and washing of the void, let alone humans. Even if they cultivate into a true divine realm and transcend the Daxuan world, they have only broken the shackles of the Daxuan world.

However.

For mortals, this is enough, and it is the height they look up to.

Being able to break the shackles of heaven and earth, even if they will still decay in the void with the passage of time in the future, their life span will no longer be bound by heaven and earth, and will inevitably become extremely long, no longer just a few hundred years, but will be calculated in hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years.

Chen Mu's mind was erratic for a while, but he soon came back to his senses again, and he was not immersed in the vast nothingness. He went from having nothing to being invincible in the world and cultivating the world-class martial saint, and he has always been on the same road.

Even if he couldn't see the true immortality, it didn't matter. He just had to keep moving forward on this road.

Martial arts have their limits, but the way is endless.

With the assistance and blessing of the system panel, he would sooner or later be able to see... the end of this road.

After gathering his thoughts, Chen Mu took a deep breath. He didn't continue to immerse himself in the comprehension of the void. His entire mind and soul consciousness quickly converged, no longer spreading beyond the world, but began to extend horizontally.

The sympathy between heaven and man that had been staying within the range of 3,600 miles, now accompanied by his thoughts, began to spread out again, and quickly extended to a more distant and vast area.

3,600 miles,

4,100 miles,

4,600 miles,

...

Chen Mu's thoughts blended with the world, and the range of perception continued to expand, expanding all the way to a full 10,800 miles, and finally stopped!

At this moment, the range that his heavenly communication could detect was so vast that it was almost unimaginable. He really had the power of a god. He was in the forbidden area of ​​the Qixuan Sect and in the capital of Yuzhou, but his range of perception was as far north as Shuang County, west as Sha County, south as Yu County, and east as Bi County, almost covering half of Yuzhou!

Immortal Soul.

This was not a simple step, but a real step to the threshold of the divine realm at the level of the heart and soul, and even one foot stepped over it, possessing some supreme power of the divine realm!

What Chen Mu could feel at this moment was no longer the kind of heavenly communication that could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, but a sense of control from a high position, as if where he was, his will was the will of heaven!

Chen Mu had no doubt.

At this moment, he only needed a thought, even if he was thousands of miles apart, he could control the vast power of heaven and earth and kill a blood exchange realm existence with one move!

Such a huge gap in strength is even greater than the distance between the marrow washing master and the blood exchange master!

But the more this happened, the more Chen Mu could feel the power of the God Realm. Now he only possessed part of the power of the God Realm, but he already had this kind of supreme power that was like the might of heaven, vast and unpredictable. What if he was in the real God Realm?

The ninth level of God, entering the blood exchange realm was only the first level, and now he has cultivated a complete immortal soul, his strength is enough to reach the limit of the fifth level of God!

Just as Chen Mu was carefully experiencing the changes that had occurred after his mind and soul had transformed, his eyes suddenly condensed slightly, and his sight spanned nearly ten thousand miles, looking far away to the west of Yuzhou, the depths of Sha County.

"Hmm?"
