Deep in the imperial city, Taiyi Hall.

The green mountains are rolling, the sky is high and far away, and there are no birds or animals in sight. Everything is solemn and solemn.

Chen Mu appeared at the foot of the green mountain, glanced into the distance, and saw that in a bamboo house in the distance, Lu Shiyun was still in retreat to comprehend the realm of heaven and man. Looking to the other side, Chen Yao didn't know when she would come back, and she was also there.

Retreat to understand nature.

In addition, there is Liu Lian, who is also in retreat. He has not yet broken through to the golden elixir realm and has not yet cultivated into a real person. Since the day when the Hundred Sects came to the court, they have all started to retreat, and they all want to step out.

That step is beyond the realm of real people.

Chen Mu did not disturb anyone.

Instead, he walked calmly and arrived at the foot of the green mountain, under the banyan tree with a huge canopy. He sat cross-legged and looked around, taking in all the green mountains and green waters.

Although this place was transformed into a secret realm by his hands, it still borrowed part of the space in the spiritual world. It was not opened up from nothingness, and it cannot endure eternal tribulations.

If he dies, this secret realm will gradually be destroyed over a long period of time.

Only by cultivating the Heavenly King can one create a cave that is independent of heaven and earth. Even time cannot erase it. Even if one's own body dies and Tao disappears, it will be indestructible.

Sitting cross-legged under the banyan tree.

Swish.

Chen Mu waved his right hand, and pieces of shiny spiritual objects flew out, floating and circling in front of him. There were original Gengjin, original Guishui, and many kinds of original spiritual objects, including Yin Yang and Five Elements, and even the original ones.

Wind core and so on.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Chen Mu thought for a moment, then gently moved his right hand to take a drop of the original Guishui into his hand and let it hover in the palm of his hand.

It seems to be just an insignificant drop of water, but it seems to contain a huge weight. It seems to be a collection of all the water in the world. There seem to be pieces of Tao marks inside that are constantly intertwined and destroyed.

After thinking for a short time, Chen Mu opened his mouth and sucked it in, swallowing it into his belly.

Such primitive spiritual beings can slowly be comprehended, and they can also gradually comprehend the Dao marks and Dao aggregates in them, and finally fully comprehend them. However, doing so often takes an extremely long time.

It may take hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, to fully comprehend the Tao Yuan in such a drop of original Gui water.

But because of its preciousness, most monks will do this. Like many ancient holy places that have been passed down for a long time, there will be many such original spiritual objects in the holy land, and they all exist as the foundation of the holy land.

After all, these original spiritual objects, which have existed since the beginning of the world and represent the oldest fragments of Tao Yun, can be said to be used in this world. If they are all consumed, there will be no more.

Therefore, unless the situation is like that of Zhenjun Niyun, when the calamity of heaven and man is approaching and there is almost no time to comprehend and practice in detail, he will use the most brutal method to directly devour and refine it, and forcibly seize the Tao Aggregate.

Otherwise, most of the True Lords will keep it, not only as the foundation of the Holy Land, but also as exchanges with other True Lords for different original spiritual objects in order to understand the Taoist essence of heaven and earth.

But after Chen Mu thought about it, he didn't plan to leave too much behind.

Consuming all these original spiritual objects will allow him to master a large number of Dao Marks in a short period of time, and what he needs is to improve his cultivation and strength as quickly as possible.

After all, there is a system in place. Sooner or later, he will be able to ascend to the sky step by step, traverse the myriad paths of heaven and earth, and become the King of Heaven.

When the time comes, what appears in front of his eyes will be a completely different new world.

The original Guishui melts in your mouth.

The moment it came into contact with the Nascent Soul body, this drop of water, which was born from the very beginning of the world, quietly dispersed and melted away, directly integrating into the Nascent Soul body.

At the same time, Chen Mu also felt that his vision suddenly blurred.

He saw total darkness.

No.

To be precise, it is nothingness, a nothingness in which nothing exists. There is no matter, no traces of the Tao, no power of heaven and earth, no yin and yang and five elements. Everything does not exist.

And in this dark void, a little light seemed to flash through.

The nothingness is shattered.

Thousands of substances disintegrated from it and flew in all directions. The pure ones rose up and turned into the sky, while the turbid ones sank down and turned into the earth. The five elements were born from the yin and yang, and then evolved into thousands of Tao aggregates.

However, all the Tao aggregates and everything are not visible clearly. The only thing that can be seen is a drop of water that flies out from the broken light spot, breaks and disintegrates in the void, and finally slips out.

This drop of water falls downward.

sink into the earth.

The earth cannot swallow it up or erode it.

It just kept sinking, and together with some mixed things, it fell to the bottom of nothingness, and then was enveloped in a surging black and white light, and disappeared into it.

"Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang. Gui water is yin and soft water. It likes yin metal and lives, but fears yang metal and stagnates..."

Chen Mu's thoughts were immersed in this drop of water.

As a Soul Cultivation Master, with one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred thoughts, ordinary Dao Yun can be understood without any harshness, but Guishui is the original water of yin and yang, from which half of the water Dao Yun in heaven and earth was born. , it is completely different from any ordinary water Tao aggregate.

Even if Chen Mu's current cultivation level and current ability were to directly refine it, he would not be able to fully understand all the Taoist aggregates and clarify and extend them one by one in a short period of time.

Chen Mu separated out 125,000 thoughts to understand the Tao Yun.

Other thoughts just hang outside.

"It will take about four years."

The thoughts that are separated from the outside make judgments on the progress of comprehending the Tao aggregate.

It will take about four years to completely refine this drop of Guishui. After that, it will take even longer to turn all the insights into reality, and to condense all the insights of the Tao of Water into traces of the Tao of Water. time.

"It won't be long, so let's do this for now."

After Chen Mu thought for a while, he devoted another four thousand thoughts to the separated thoughts to study and refine them. He only retained nine hundred thoughts to deal with other situations.

Compared with refining the original Guishui, it is more important to wander around and explore the netherworld. This is a required daily course. Chen Mu naturally will not immerse all his mind in practice. This has been the case in the past.

that's all.

Suddenly a day passed, Chen Mu called up the system interface, and once again wandered into the underworld.

As in the past, no matter how many thoughts are separated for enlightenment and practice, as long as you rely on the system to travel to the netherworld, all thoughts will be forcibly restrained, and then suddenly moved from the present world to the netherworld.

Chen Mu has long been accustomed to this state. He explores the netherworld with ease, searches for the souls of the dead, and records some suitable obsessions. After returning, he transmits a thought and leaves it all to Xiyu to deal with.

So day after day.

Months passed quickly.

Everything seemed to have entered a state of calm.

but.

Just three months later, one day, the world suddenly became dark.

It covered not only Kyoto, but the entire Great Yuan, the entire Inanimate Realm. The dark sky seemed to be about to collapse, causing countless people to look at the sky in horror and feel suffocated.

at the same time.

In all directions of the three lower realms of Tianxuan Continent, there were flashes of escaping light. One after another Jindan Daoist appeared, looking at the place of the Inanimate Realm with shocked expressions, and each of them was a little horrified.

In the center of the Great Yuan Kyoto, in the imperial city, Queen Xiyu, who was practicing in seclusion, suddenly opened her eyes, her figure flashed, and she came to the outside world, looking at the dim sky, showing a look of shock.

"what happened?"

She murmured.

This inexplicable feeling of panic seemed to be the appearance of something terrifying. Could it be the devastation of the 'Zhenjun Niyun'? But she had learned from Chen Mu that the devastation of the 'Zhenjun Niyun' was the devastation of the gods. The calamity should last for several decades.

In the dark sky, the underworld pressure became stronger and stronger, and soon it made countless mortal creatures in the entire inanimate realm unable to move, and even suppressed them to the ground and knelt down.

Even some monks at the Foundation Establishment Realm were unable to escape and were almost suffocated by the pressure.

At this moment, a huge human face suddenly appeared in the dark sky. The human face was ferocious and terrifying, covering the entire inanimate realm, looking up at the sky.

"Is this... a void barrier?"

Yan Hanyu's figure appeared above a palace, looking up to the sky, a trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

Nowadays, it is no longer the time when the inside and outside were isolated in the past. For a Jindan Daoist like her, the Xutian Barrier is no longer a secret. She knows that the Xutian Barrier is the remnant of the death of an ancient true monarch in the past, and it is blocked. In the entire Inanimate Realm, in the past, only the tides that existed once in a thousand years would connect the inside and outside.

Later, when Chen Mu became a true king, he broke through the ethereal barrier and opened a passage that connected the inside and outside, so the inanimate realm and the outer realm could be connected.

But Chen Mu did not completely destroy the virtual sky barrier.

Because the virtual sky barrier can also play a role in protecting the inanimate realm.

At this time, for some unknown reason, the Xutian Barrier seemed to be touched by some kind of force and completely manifested itself, taking on the form of a huge human face covering the entire Inanimate Realm.

next moment.

Many real people, such as Yan Hanyu and Xiyu, all had their childish eyes shrinking violently, showing expressions of shock.

I saw on the dim sky, apart from the huge human face blocked by the sky, a big gray hand suddenly appeared from the void, covering the sky and the sun, covering hundreds of thousands of miles, and then slowly fell down. , directly pinched Xutian Barrier.

Then he tore it apart violently.

laugh!

It was as if a human face had been torn apart.

The virtual sky barrier that had existed for tens of thousands of years was just unreasonably torn into pieces and completely disappeared from the world.

Under the shocked gazes of countless creatures throughout Dayuan, the big gray hand tore apart the sky barrier, and then quickly disappeared, revealing a gray-clothed figure standing on the sky.
