Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 296 Comprehend the ultimate essence of the soul, master supreme wisdom, and achieve ultimate comprehension.

The mysteries of the soul have taken on a different interpretation in Shen Mu's eyes today.

Even so, these are just some flaws that he couldn't understand before. Even if he fully understood them, the Dao of the Soul would have no more mysteries for Shen Mu. Even if he accumulated true perfection, he would not directly achieve the ultimate.

Ultimately, the fusion of all branches of the original Great Dao is a flash of inspiration, a touch of the soul.

"Dongbo Xueying achieved the ultimate level of the soul by witnessing his mortal enemies and companions perish in the pursuit of the Hunyuan life form."

"When my own mind was moved, I witnessed the true meaning of 'If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.' That's when I had a flash of inspiration and transcended the mundane."

"But my state of mind is different from Dongbo Xueying's."

Because of the memories of time travel, Shen Mu's state of mind is completely different from that of native life.

As Shen Mu's state of mind deepened, this detached attitude remained unchanged; this was Shen Mu's own path.

On some level, Shen Mu's mindset is still that of a reader turning the pages of a book. This kind of mentality is difficult to be moved by the passing of others.

This is also why Shen Mu's state of mind improved so easily. He was already detached and superior. Although he wasn't the extreme case of "all living beings are illusory, only I am real," he still had that feeling.

If you don't have a flash of inspiration, then accumulate knowledge slowly.

Having comprehended the ultimate Dao of Mind and even achieved a semi-primordial level of the Dao of Mind, how could Shen Mu be discouraged simply because he did not possess the same state of mind as Dongbo Xueying?

Shen Mu raised his eyes, his gaze illuminating the entire True Spirit Holy Realm, landing on the nine bright moons.

Within the nine great moons, the nine-headed advanced primordial beings, injured by the extraction of the power of the nine wonders, will not perish.

However, without the support of the Nine Wonders Power, they have virtually no hope of achieving the World Realm, unless they can comprehend the entire Supreme Rule or even directly comprehend the Primordial Chaos Great Dao.

These nine suppressed high-level Chaos Origin life forms are, to Shen Mu now, nine treasure troves of resources.

With just half a heart and ninety percent of the blood from a high-level Hunyuan life form, Shen Mu was able to condense his Heart-Shaping Dao Bloodline to the high-level Hunyuan level and master the true power of the Hunyuan Mind.

With these nine living, high-level Chaos Origin beings, Shen Mu could completely transform all ten of his bloodlines to a higher level and master the power of the ten Chaos Origin powers.

The so-called Hunyuan Daodao is the essence and mystery of Hunyuan power.

For example, the Great Dao of the Primordial Soul is the essence and mystery of the Primordial Soul Power.

Those beings who are born as the progenitors of primordial life forms are naturally able to mobilize this power, so they are born as lord-level beings.

However, they never truly understood the essence and mystery of their own power; they only knew how to use it.

The difference between an Enlightened Lord and a Born Lord can be simply understood as follows: one creates powerful weapons and uses them in battle, while the other is born with such weapons and can also use them in battle, but cannot create them themselves.

"As long as my soul path bloodline power also transforms into true primordial soul power, then directly studying my own power will be far more effective than comprehending the soul path in the source world."

The primordial power of advanced primordial beings contains profound mysteries and is also the complete primordial Dao.

The only difference between them and those born as Hunyuan Lords is the strength of their Hunyuan power; there is no essential difference.

With a thought, Shen Mu unleashed his own primordial spiritual power, merging it with his unparalleled will to transform into an avatar.

Shen Mu could condense countless clones like this—truly countless, as many as he wanted, with each clone far exceeding the size of a semi-primordial life form.

The moment the mental clone appeared, it directly reflected the location of the former Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, and that bright, shining moon.

"Borrow your strength to nourish my soul and bloodline."

Shen Mu's mental clone landed in front of the vortex abyss, which was the vortex that the Bright Moon Seal itself brought with it.

Even an existence like Indra can draw power from higher-level primordial beings through the seal.

However, even if they can absorb it, they can only absorb some of its essence, which is of great use to life forms at the God Emperor level.

Boom!

Inside the bright moon, a large serpent with a pair of golden crow wings was struggling frantically.

However, with the suppression of the Bright Moon Seal, he was powerless to resist Shen Mu's clone.

hum!

A pure, dazzling ray of light emerged from the vortex abyss. This was not just a wisp of aura, but the primordial, boundless power of its essence.

Shen Mu opened his mouth and inhaled, and this wisp of primordial power surged into his mouth.

Immediately following was an influx of boundless, primordial power, dazzling and radiant, reflecting infinite scenes and brilliance, with each person seeing a different color of light.

The boundless power of primordial chaos surged into Shen Mu's mouth, where he swallowed and refined it, transforming it into the purest primordial chaos substance to nourish his soul and bloodline.

"You'll be dead when I get out!"

Inside the bright moon, the advanced Chaos Origin life form struggled frantically, but could only watch as its power was drained by Shen Mu, gradually weakening away.

Unfortunately, he couldn't even send a threat out of the bright moon, but Shen Mu was able to see what was inside.

"You can't get out now, so just obediently become my provisions."

The immense power of primordial chaos was extracted, but for a high-level primordial chaos being at the perfect stage, this process was very long.

Shen Mu was not in a hurry and continued to build his foundation, since he had plenty of time.

Now that he has achieved the status of a high-level Hunyuan life form, Shen Mu is able to sense everything that his other self has experienced across endless space.

He had spent hundreds of millions of years in the True Spirit Holy Realm, the Great Thousand World, and the Cultivation World, but he had only been there for a few days. Luo Feng and the Azure Dragon clone had just arrived at the Origin Continent and had not yet settled down.

If Shen Mu were willing, he could even transmit some of his perceptions and experiences to another body, allowing that body to directly comprehend the Great Dao at the semi-primordial level and achieve semi-primordial life.

However, Shen Mu was worried that this process would affect the Azure Dragon clone, so he decided it would be best to wait until he reached the Lord level and then return directly to the Origin Continent to suppress the Azure Dragon clone.

"Festival!"

At the summit of Tianzhu Mountain, Shen Mu sat cross-legged, as endless primordial matter dissolved and merged into his soul and bloodline, undergoing a second ultimate awakening and transforming his soul and bloodline.

Shen Mu was originally at the level of a high-level Hunyuan life form, so it was not difficult for him to achieve the true Hunyuan level with his second bloodline.

It's at least simpler than condensing one's own Heart-Type Bloodline to the mid-advanced level. The gap between the initial advanced level and the mid-advanced level is also enormous.

Only after Shen Mu has undergone a complete transformation of all ten of his bloodlines and condensed ten true Hunyuan powers will his strength be comparable to that of a mid-stage high-level expert.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted within Shen Mu's body, marking a great transformation as his soul reached the pinnacle of his bloodline.

The whole process was infinitely easier than when I first broke free from my cage, but the strange phenomena and oppressive aura it produced were just as great.

But Shen Mu now has the ability to contain all the strange phenomena and fluctuations within his body.

"The power of the primordial soul... how profound."

At this moment, Shen Mu's mind and will completely introspected, immersing himself in the essence of his own primordial soul power.

At this moment, Shen Mu truly saw everything.

Before the ultimate path of the soul, the last veil was completely removed, and Shen Mu truly saw the most fundamental essence of the soul's mysteries.

This is the privilege that every naturally born high-level Hunyuan life form who wields the power of the Hunyuan soul possesses.

Even so, their understanding of the soul is still pitifully low.

"The soul... is an important source of life."

"Thoughts, wisdom, will, spirit, soul... everything is based on the soul."

"Without a soul, there can be no truly intelligent life, let alone cultivation or civilization!"

At this moment, the last veil of mystery was completely lifted.

Pure primordial soul power manifested around Shen Mu, condensing all the mysteries of the soul path and transforming into a series of secret pattern universes and secret pattern source worlds.

In the next instant, these secret patterns intertwined and merged, transforming into a wisp of pure, soft light.

"The ultimate state of the soul, so that's it. So that's it!"

Shen Mu suddenly opened his eyes and burst into laughter.

A vast surge of soul power emerged, instantly spreading out and merging into this world, into every spacetime and plane of this origin world, and finally into the world's original plane.

Once one comprehends the ultimate essence of the soul, even a semi-primordial life form can achieve this, let alone Shen Mu himself, who possesses a soul at the high-level primordial level.

In an instant, Shen Mu's soul power completely permeated the origin of the source world.

At this moment, Shen Mu felt a strange sensation. The origin of the True Spirit Holy Realm was like a huge ball of light, and his soul had merged into it.

Back in the Cosmic Sea, Shen Mu's will had merged with the cosmic origin of a universe, so he had some experience with this state.

However, the experience of merging one's will with the origin of a universe and the experience of merging one's soul with the origin of a source world are completely different levels.

"The power of the world's origin, condense!"

Boom!

The vast power of the world's origin surged forth from the void, immense and boundless.

This is the secret after comprehending the ultimate meaning of the soul: the ability to transform one's own soul into a form similar to the primordial will of the source world, and to mobilize a portion of the world's primordial power.

Although he did not become the true master of the Origin World, he was still able to possess power far exceeding that of a high-level Chaos Origin Perfection cultivator.

call out!

Shen Mu's figure vanished from his spot and reappeared on the Bright Moon Seal.

"You dare come back? I'll kill you!"

Within the bright moonlight, the giant serpent went berserk once more. That damned human had just drained one-tenth of its power, and now it was back again.

"I'm here to deal with you!"

Within the Source World, the supreme rule is everything, and no will can violate the supreme rule unless it transcends the confines.

Even the original will of this world is merely a derivative that maintains the supreme rules, so it cannot directly annihilate the nine-headed high-level primordial life form that almost shattered this primordial world.

But Shen Mu is different. The current Shen Mu is the messenger of the world. Although he can only mobilize a small part of the original power of the source world, his power is enough to rival that of a newly formed world-class being.

Boom!

Shen Mu raised his right hand and gently pressed it in mid-air.

The entire bright moon trembled instantly, revealing the original form of the boundless primordial power of the world, transforming into a giant sphere of light.

The sphere of origin began to collapse, and in an instant, this advanced primordial life form was completely annihilated by Shen Mu.

"The power of the world's origin is truly omnipotent, far more profound than the power of the universe's origin."

After killing this advanced Chaos Origin life form, Shen Mu did not rush to continue his attack.

Instead, it manipulated the power of the endless world's origin to completely melt this advanced life form, transforming it into the most primordial form of all matter, the primordial matter.

"concise!"

With a thought from Shen Mu, the boundless primordial power condensed into a crystal-clear precious wheel.

Then the power of the world's origin surged into it, and the fluctuations of the entire treasure wheel became more and more intense, until an embryo of a source world was opened up inside the treasure wheel.

"The radiant light of wisdom, manifest!"

With a thought, boundless wisdom and profound light emerged from Shen Mu's mind, intertwining and evolving the ultimate mysteries of mind and soul, reforging this supreme treasure.

"Previously, I had comprehended the Mind-Body Dao to the half-primordial level, and had a feeling of true Great Perfection."

"Now that I have achieved the ultimate state of the soul, I have a different understanding."

"The soul and the will of the mind are inherently one and inseparable."

"The Way of the Heart, which was previously merged with the Great Daos of Infinite Ultimate and Chaos Ultimate, has reached the level of Half-Primordial Chaos."

"Now I am merging into the ultimate mystery of the soul."

"Chaos is the source of all matter and the source of all spacetime. Infinity is the starting point of all possibilities, and the soul and will are the prerequisites for the birth of wisdom and civilization."

Shen Mu once again deduced the mysteries of the Hunyuan Mind, and the former perfection was no longer perfect.

With the ultimate soul as a fusion agent, it seems that the Dao of Mind has changed, and all Daos and mysteries can be integrated into the semi-primordial Dao of Mind based on the ultimate soul.

This is a road that leads directly to Hunyuan Avenue and Hunyuan Rules.

Understanding the ultimate nature of the soul and undergoing a transformation in its essence had a profound impact on Shen Mu.

After truly comprehending the ultimate meaning of the soul, Shen Mu's soul can evolve into any form and master any way of thinking.

The entire process of perfecting the Mind-Body Path went incredibly smoothly, without any bottlenecks or obstacles.

Even now, Shen Mu has already seen the scene of himself comprehending the Primordial Mind Form billions of years from now!

Billions of years is too short.

Even if Shen Mu does nothing now, just sits cross-legged in seclusion, billions of years later, it will be the time for Shen Mu to achieve a thorough understanding of the Hunyuan rules and become a leader among cultivators.

"Mastering the ultimate essence of the soul is extremely important."

After mastering the ultimate soul, Shen Mu felt more and more how much the ultimate soul influenced his enlightenment.

At this moment, Shen Mu's soul encompassed the characteristics of the souls of all races and included all modes of thought. There were no concepts that Shen Mu could not understand, and no logic that Shen Mu could not comprehend.

To be precise, understanding the ultimate nature of the soul allows one to master the highest wisdom and achieve ultimate enlightenment. In the process of comprehending these truths, one becomes invincible.

"It will take billions of years to become a cultivator lord."

"As for now, let's become world-class Chaos Origin experts!"
