Too Easy to Cross the River

Chapter 1489: Too Easy to Cross the River

Qin Mu is still very thin now, but much better than before.

The experience was so terrifying that even he himself was worried that the World Tree would devour him completely.

Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, after the World Tree devoured his spirit and soul, the tree finally bore his mark!

In the past, he had been unable to refine the World Tree, nor could he leave his own mark on it. But as the World Tree devoured his spirit and soul, he was actually branded like this!

This experience can be said to be one of the most dangerous and terrifying experiences he has ever had, and it can be considered a blessing in disguise that he was able to escape danger in the end.

His Heavenly Palace is still being rebuilt and reorganized, and his magical powers are also steadily increasing.

Qin Mu stood up and spread out the Divine Treasure Domain. A treasure tree stood tall in the ancestral courtyard, surrounded by five major mineral veins. He felt that his roots seemed to be able to spread to every corner of the domain.

For the first time, he had a wonderful feeling of being in complete control of everything about himself.

He stood at the feet of his soul, and his soul stood under a tree. The tree was hidden in the divine realm. His soul was many times taller than his physical body, and the World Tree was many times taller than his soul. Above him was the blue sky, clear and boundless, and below him was the earth, thick and boundless.

This scenery makes people feel heavy and broad.

"Without taking risks, without trying, without exploring the unknown, I will never be able to merge with the World Tree. It can be seen that taking risks and trying may bring great rewards!"

Qin Mu was quietly comprehending. Although his Divine Hidden Realm was now formed and the Heavenly Palace was constantly being reorganized and rebuilt, he was keenly aware that his previous Three Dan Techniques for Dominant Body was no longer suitable for his current practice.

Many people who practice cultivation practice the same technique from childhood to adulthood, but he is different. The technique needs to be constantly evolved to make it more suitable for him.

In each era, the self has different knowledge base, what he knows and understands is different, so the practice also needs to be constantly improved and modified.

Now he has comprehended so much knowledge. After obtaining the World Tree and planting it in his own divine treasure, his comprehension of Taichu, Taishi, Taisu and Taiji has reached a new height. More importantly, he has begun to touch the Way of Taiyi!

The previous Three Dan Techniques of Tyrant Body could no longer accommodate this knowledge, and now he needed to expand his own skills.

He originally had as many as nineteen heavenly palaces, and this technique was already extremely complicated, but now with the World Tree, it became much easier to coordinate.

Different heavenly palaces represent different avenues. If one practices according to the method of the Ten Heavenly Lords, it would be difficult to integrate twenty or thirty kinds of imperial throne techniques into one heavenly technique in a short period of time.

Qin Mu has long integrated nineteen kinds of imperial throne techniques. At his age, it is already a remarkable achievement to have achieved this, but this kind of cultivation path becomes more and more difficult as time goes by.

Beings like the Ten Heavenly Lords have integrated more than thirty kinds of skills, and the time they have spent is measured in tens of thousands of years. Among the Ten Heavenly Lords, there are also a few who have already built thirty-five heavenly palaces, but they are all trapped on the thirty-sixth heavenly palace.

To do this, they had to use their own unique skills and find their own unique path.

For example, Lord Haotian chose to rely on Taisu, the emperor and empress sisters chose to devour each other, and the Divine Emperor Langxuan tried to make a breakthrough by refining the Tao fruits of others.

The Ancestral God King simply murdered his father, Tian Gong, in an attempt to make a breakthrough himself.

Qin Mu did not have so much time to explore and figure it out bit by bit. When he reached the later stage of cultivation, his progress would definitely slow down.

Now, he only needs to take the World Tree as the main body and unify various avenues and various techniques, and it will no longer be so difficult.

What is more important are the five innate great ways!

He stood there quietly contemplating, and after a while, his twentieth heavenly palace gradually took shape.

This is Taishi Heavenly Palace.

He understood the Way of Tai Shi most thoroughly through the World Tree. Originally, he had Tai Shi in an egg living in his divine mine, constantly refining the raw divine stone and comprehending the Way of Tai Shi.

The Tai Shi in the egg did not hide the Tai Shi Dao that he had comprehended from him. Qin Mu gained some of what Tai Shi had comprehended. Although he was not as blessed as this ancient god, Qin Mu's gains were also enormous.

This time, the World Tree directly swallowed up the mineral veins and the Taishi Divine Stone and the Taishi Original Stone, so the Taishi Way is the most thorough.

Gradually, it was getting dark. Qin Mu was meditating and shaping the Taishi Heavenly Palace while rising up to the top of the newly grown World Tree.

There was another horrifying tremor outside the Ten Thousand Holy Mountains, a doomsday scene, but at the top of the New World Tree, everything was peaceful.

The sky suddenly became brighter, illuminating the layers of void, and he vaguely saw a Taoist tree standing in the ultimate void.

The Taoist tree was hazy, and its branches and leaves vaguely resembled the branches and leaves of the World Tree.

However, both the World Tree in Qin Mu’s divine treasure and the new World Tree in the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains are still in their infancy, while the Tao Tree in the Ultimate Void is lush and green, covering a very wide area!

That should be Taiyi's Dao Tree.

There is only one Tao fruit on Taiyi's Tao tree, and no Tao flowers, but it is lush and leafy.

Suddenly, a drop of Tao dew emitting Tao light dripped from a leaf, and the iron bucket that Taiyi gave to Qin Mu was also dissolved. He took out the iron bucket he had refined, strolled leisurely on the leaves, and caught the Tao dew dripping from the ultimate void.

The ultimate void was silent and charming, appearing before him as if within reach.

Taiyi's Dao Tree is right there, and it seems that you can touch it with just your hand.

However, Qin Mu knew that the place was extremely far away and was not a place he could reach. Now he was still a seeker on the road to the realm of Taoism and had not yet touched that realm.

This night was busy and fulfilling. When the sun rose, the last drop of Dao Dew fell, and the Ultimate Void and Taiyi's Dao Tree disappeared. The iron bucket in Qin Mu's hand also received a bucket of Dao Dew.

And his Tai Shi Tian Palace was just completed at this time.

Qin Mu walked down from the World Tree, carrying an iron bucket and heading towards the Ten Thousand Mountains, searching for the Black Mountain that was cracked last night.

When someone in the mountains saw this, they couldn't help but be surprised: "Tai Yi has transformed into the appearance of the Imperial Master!"

Qin Mu did not explain. He went to find the cracked Black Mountain and repaired it with Dao Dew. When the Dao Dew was used up, he had just repaired the cracked peaks.

"Taiyi is still unfathomable." He put down the iron bucket and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He began to comprehend the way of Taisu and planned to build the Taisu Heavenly Palace.

It was a rare moment of peace for him. During the past few days, he repaired the cracked Black Mountain during the day, and at night he carried an iron bucket to the crown of the World Tree to collect the dew of Tao dripping from the ultimate void.

A few days later, he opened up Taisu Palace and Taiji Palace successively. When he opened up Taichu Palace, Qin Mu was suddenly startled and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The eggshell of Emperor Taichu was swallowed by my World Tree!"

More beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. These two eggshells were the treasures he was going to use to rescue Ling Tianzun!

He planned to take the primordial eggshell into the disappeared section of the Milky Way that had turned into an intangible substance, and use his intangible magical power to send the Heavenly Emperor's physical body into the eggshell and seal it!

He was planning to seal up the Taidi Yuanshen that was parasitic in Taichu Tiandi's body!

And the World Tree devoured and refined the Primordial Eggshell, which meant that he lost his greatest support!

If you go to rescue Ling Tianzun, you must face the physical body of Emperor Taichu controlled by Emperor Tai's soul!

“This time, it’s going to be tricky!”

Qin Mu calmed himself down and continued to comprehend the Taichu Heavenly Palace. Since he couldn't put the Heavenly Emperor's physical body and Tai Emperor's Yuanshen into the eggshell, then a better understanding of the Taichu Dao was the right way to deal with Tai Emperor and Heavenly Emperor!

A few days later, he opened up the Taichu Heavenly Palace, but encountered difficulties when opening up the Taiyi Heavenly Palace.

Although he had learned something about the Way of Taiyi through the World Tree, this great way was really obscure, and Taiyi had already absorbed all of the divine stones and essence liquid from the Taiyi mine, leaving not a single drop behind.

This time, the World Tree devoured and refined the Taiyi eggshell, which allowed him to understand the Taiyi Dao. If he wants to comprehend it thoroughly, he must have great perseverance, great understanding, and great opportunity to do it!

Moreover, the World Tree in his divine treasure had indeed stopped growing as Taiyi said. Qin Mu’s divine treasure was not the real universe and lacked the nutrients for the tree to continue growing.

The World Tree is still just a sapling. Although the roots are still growing stronger, the tree has not grown taller, nor has it grown more branches and leaves.

Qin Mu counted and found that the World Tree had five main trunks and nineteen branches, which matched the avenue he practiced and should correspond to the avenue he practiced.

Among them, the five main trunks represent the five innate elements, while some of the other branches are further subdivided into different branches. For example, the Demonic Palace has sixty-four branches, which should represent the sixty-four avenues of the Netherworld.

Qin Mu temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to study Taiyi Heavenly Palace. Now he had built as many as twenty-three Heavenly Palaces, and his cultivation had improved significantly.

What he felt was more important was to take advantage of the opportunity of the World Tree to go further in the realm of Tao!

In the following months, Qin Mu continued to receive Dao Lu and repair the cracked Black Mountain while meditating on the truth. The people in the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains were a little surprised at first, but gradually got used to it and let him busy himself.

Only occasionally would Qin Mu wake up from this busy state, wondering in his heart: "Taiyi is going to leave here for half a year, what is he going to do?"

The ancestral temple is Yujing City.

Taiyi possessed the body and observed the large cauldron that Wei Suifeng left outside the city. There was a stick of incense in the cauldron. The incense was almost burning to the root, but it was still moving automatically in the cauldron, drawing a zigzag route.

Wei Suifeng and Shujun were still alive and were planning to cross the river.

No one knew how wide or how long the chaotic river ahead was. They moved forward cautiously along the river bank. Shujun stubbornly believed that they were on the other side of the river when they came here, so he wanted to find a way to cross the river.

However, there is no bridge over this river, and it is impossible to fly across it. From time to time, terrifying skeletons emerge from this chaotic river, emitting tremendous power that even the chaotic river cannot erase!

They even saw the skeleton of the enlightened being emitting a light of Tao, and the extremely dangerous light was moving on the surface of the river.

From time to time, twisted souls of the wronged would emerge on the surface of the river, struggling, roaring, and pulling at everything they could grab, like scapegoats looking for a replacement.

Even though Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun were extremely brave, they did not dare to cross the river. They had to continue searching for a way out.

At this moment, a white-haired old man with a cane came from nowhere, stopped in front of the two people, and said, "You are going the wrong way."

"Could it be Brother Taiyi?" Wei Suifeng asked hurriedly.

The old man nodded easily and said, "If you cross the river, you will never be able to come back. This place is dangerous all around. On the other side of the river is the residence of the owner of the Miro Palace. Even if you can cross the river, you will die."

The two of them were awed, and Shujun asked politely, "Senior, can you take us away?"

The old man shook his head easily: "I have to cross the river, I don't have time to see you off."

Shujun was a little disappointed. Wei Suifeng quickly asked, "Brother Dao, is my junior brother looking for us? Has he found the geographical map I left behind?"

"No."

The old man said, "It's too dangerous here. Don't move around casually. I just looked at the map you walked on outside the city and found this place. If you continue to move forward, you will definitely die without a burial place. Don't retreat. The Chaos River is changing all the time. If you retreat, you won't be able to find the original road, and you will only die in vain."

The two of them complained repeatedly, and Wei Suifeng quickly asked, "Is it safe to stay here and not move?"

The old man observed the river's hydrology very easily and said, "In half a day, this place will be submerged by the Chaos River."

Shu Jun said decisively: "Senior, please have mercy on us and take us away!"

Wei Suifeng also hurriedly said: "Brother, you have pity!"

The old man was too helpless and said, "I am going to see the master of Miro Palace. This trip is also extremely dangerous. I am not sure whether I can come back alive. That person has great magical powers, even better than me. It will be more dangerous if he follows me. If there is no danger, I will not deceive Mu Tianzun and let him guard Dahei Mu for me for half a year."

There was one more thing he hadn't said. If he couldn't come back alive, then Qin Mu would not only have to guard for half a year, but would have to guard Daheimu for a long time to come.

At that time, Qin Mu will become Taiyi's successor and will never be able to leave.

Wei Suifeng and Shujun didn't know the inside story, so they smiled and said, "Who can do anything to you? Brother, don't joke. My junior brother has never saved me, and now we are desperate, please help us!"

Taiyi had no choice but to take them with him, saying, "Follow me, don't fall behind, or you will die."

The two nodded repeatedly and followed Taiyi closely. Elderly Taiyi walked to the surface of the Chaos River with a wooden stick. The river suddenly seemed to be boiling, and twisted wronged souls stretched out their hands to grab the three people!

Taiyi wielded his cane and beat the wronged souls all the way, forcing them to sink into the river. He shouted, "Don't let them touch you! They are enlightened beings who died in Daluo Heaven and turned into nothingness. They want to capture you and replace you with their dead universe and their souls!"

The two were terrified. They felt that no magical power could resist the random grabbing of the wronged souls of those enlightened ones. If Taiyi was not by their side, they would probably fall into the previous universe in the next moment, their souls would be scattered and their bodies would be destroyed!

"This old man Taiyi is really fierce!"

Seeing Taiyi fighting his way through, Shujun couldn't help but admire him: "He's still strong despite his age!"
