Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 716: A Broken Corner of Space and Time

Outside Wuxiang City.

Chen Yue and Chen Yao followed Chen Mu to leave Wuxiang City, and were carried up into the sky by the light controlled by Chen Mu.

"This Wuxiang City Lord is as powerful as a venerable, but he is bound by many constraints and cannot be free. The path of cultivation is to seek freedom. He has come to this point and is caught in a dilemma. He has deviated from the most essential pursuit of cultivation."

Chen Yue looked back at Wuxiang City, thought for a moment and then spoke softly.

Chen Mu looked at her and smiled, "If it were you, what would you choose?"

"I will definitely choose to start my life over again."

Chen Yue's answer was without hesitation and very decisive.

Reincarnation after life and losing everything from the previous life, in her eyes, this is not a kind of immortality at all, it is just a lingering survival. She would rather fight for a lifetime than be trapped in the cracks, with no way forward and no way back.

Chen Mu looked at Chen Yue's answer and said with a sigh, "For you who have been practicing all the way to now, it is not difficult to make such a choice. But if you were born as the Lord of Wuxiang City, but had no memory and all the causes and effects of your past, and were born to stand at the top of the universe, would you be able to make such a choice, give up the position that is infinitely close to the highest, and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation?"

"This……"

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Chen Yue hesitated this time.

She followed Chen Mu, rising from obscurity, and walked forward step by step. She has also been tempered. When she was in the Daxuan world, she was not always under Chen Mu's wings. She has also experienced many life and death ordeals, so her will is strong enough. But if she was born at the top, overlooking all living beings, and had not experienced the hardships all the way from obscurity to the top, I am afraid she may not be able to give up everything and start over again with her own abilities.

“If there were no memory of cause and effect from the previous life, then what choice would one make would all depend on one’s heart.” Chen Yao stood aside and spoke thoughtfully.

"good."

Chen Mu nodded approvingly and said, "Everything depends on one's heart, self, and instinct... Two beings who were born without any memory of cause and effect will make completely opposite choices. One is willing to give up everything and fight for the honor of the world, while the other is unwilling to lose everything and guard the only Taoism he has. What determines all this is their purest instinct."

Speaking of which,

Chen Mu paused for a moment, and cast his gaze towards the distant Wuxiang Mountain, which was far away and disappeared into the clouds. He said, "Speaking of which, this is a good place to sharpen your true self."

"Ok?"

Chen Yue and Chen Yao were both a little surprised after hearing this, and looked in the direction Chen Mu was paying attention with shining eyes.

Chen Mu did not say much. He controlled the escape light and disappeared in a flash. When he appeared again, he had already brought Chen Yue and Chen Yao across the vast void and came to the depths of Wuxiang Mountain.

In the territory of Wuxiang City, Wuxiang Mountain, which is as famous as Wuxiang River, is also a dangerous place. The water of Wuxiang River is connected to the River of Creation, which can wash away everything of all living beings. The depths of Wuxiang Mountain are filled with Wuxiang fog, which is connected to the River of Time, and it may also drown everything of living beings and make them lose everything they have now!
Wuxiang City contains most of the power of the Great Dao of Void, Wuxiang River contains most of the power of the Great Dao of Creation, and Wuxiang Mountain contains most of the power of the Great Dao of Time. This is not only a place suitable for Chen Yue and Chen Yao to train, but also a place worth visiting for Chen Mu to try to use it as a boundary to observe the flow of time.

"What is this? Phantom mist?"

Chen Yue and Chen Yao only felt a flash before their eyes, and they were brought by Chen Mu to the mountains and forests. At the end of their sight, there was a strange fog that looked very much like the illusory fog floating in dreams in the Van Gu airspace.

Chen Mu looked calm and said, "No, this is the fog of time."

"Here, the flow of time will be disrupted. If a God Lord accidentally steps into it, he may never return and be lost in the history of time. However, with my protection, you can go in and experience it for yourself."

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Chen Yue and Chen Yao looked at each other. With Chen Mu here, they naturally had no fear in their hearts. They immediately took the initiative to walk forward and both stepped into the fog of time.

At the same time,
Chen Mu also walked forward with his hands behind his back. After taking a step, he also disappeared in the mist of time.

Just after Chen Mu, Chen Yao and the other two disappeared in the Mist of Time, some figures approached from a distance. One of them looked at the Mist of Time in front of him with some doubt and said, "Just now...someone went in?"

The Fog of Time is the most dangerous place in Wuxiang Mountain. Once you step into it, it is more dangerous than safe. Few gods can get out again. Therefore, when hunting and exploring in Wuxiang Mountain, everyone will retreat immediately when they see the Fog of Time.

But just now,
Those characters whose origins were unknown seemed to have voluntarily entered the mist of time.

"Could it be that you are a newcomer to Wuxiang City and don't know the dangers of the Mist of Time?"

"That should be the case. What a pity."

"Recently, there have been a lot more new people coming to Wuxiang City."

"Well, the outside world seems to be coming to an end. We need to speed up our progress. Whether we can break through the complete avenue and achieve the status of a venerable before the end is the boundary between life and death."

……

It was dark and night.

The wind tore through the cracks between the tiles, making sharp whistles. Fine rain needles filtered in through the rotten window frames, weaving winding silver threads on the damp, moldy walls. The shabby thatched roof creaked, and raindrops occasionally dripped along the broken beams.

Chen Mu felt his vision was slightly dazed, he looked down, and saw an old quilt covering his body, and a thin figure curled up in his arms. That figure was Chen Yue, but at this moment Chen Yue did not have the heroic demeanor of a god or overlord, but looked like a girl of only ten years old, curled up in his arms, shivering from the cold.

Chen Mu himself could also feel waves of coldness. It was as if the strength in his body was completely drained away, and he had also returned to his weak period in the mortal world. Chen Mu was very familiar with this scene. It was the most difficult period when he had just arrived in the Daxuan world and depended on Chen Yue for life.

"Time changes, it really is like that."

Chen Mu felt the changes around him. This was not an illusion, everything was real. He really crossed the years and came to the past time and space, but the time and space here were not connected to the future and were independent of each other.

"Unfortunately, I am already a Great Dao Master. This level of Great Dao power is still unable to block my will."

Chen Mu looked at the familiar environment around him, the shabby house with bare walls, the old tables and chairs that had been in disrepair for a long time, and the shivering little man in his arms, and he sighed with a nostalgic look. The power of the Avenue of Time was extraordinary. It really opened up a time and space in the past. If he was just a god, then all his will and power would be blocked, and even his previous memories would not exist. He would be thrown into this broken time and space in the past, ignorantly and ignorantly experiencing the previous things again, and even falling into an infinite reincarnation and unable to escape.

But now he is already a great master.

It seems that his body is restricted and all the power is gone, but this body is essentially just an incarnation of him. His ego and will are high above the nine heavens and lie across the long river of origin. They are the eternal stars. Therefore, the cover-up of the power of time cannot affect his ego at all, nor can it cover up his memory.

same,

As long as he had a thought, he could forcibly break free from all these restraints and shatter the past time and space constructed by the Avenue of Time.

"elder brother……"

Chen Yue curled up in Chen Mu's arms. Although she was shivering from the cold, she pursed her lips stubbornly and did not complain about the cold. She tried her best to keep her body close to Chen Mu to keep each other warm.

Chen Mu knew that Chen Yue in front of him was just a corner of the past time and space reshaped by the Avenue of Time, but he still stroked her little head lovingly, and suddenly an invisible ripple appeared in his palm.

click!
There was a blinding bolt of lightning tearing through the sky from above. The whole world seemed to be shaking for a moment, on the verge of breaking apart. At the same time, colorful light suddenly emerged from Chen Mu's palm and poured into Chen Yue's body.

Chen Yue's shivering thin body suddenly stopped shaking. She looked up in surprise and felt a warm current flowing through her limbs, expelling all the coldness and giving her a seemingly endless amount of strength.

Simultaneously,

She also saw the magical colorful light emanating from Chen Mu's palm, and what she could feel from it was a kind of majestic, boundless, grand and righteous supreme power.

"elder brother?"

Chen Yue tilted her little head and looked at Chen Mu in confusion and bewilderment.

Chen Mu gently stroked her head, stood up from the bed, and said: "Although it is only a corner of the past time and space that evolved from the Avenue of Time, you are still my Yue'er. Brother has other things to do and will not stay here. I leave this power to you. In this corner of time and space, you can live your life as you please."

The words fell,

Chen Mu's figure glowed with colorful light and disappeared like a dream bubble, leaving only the young Chen Yue. She was so shocked that she stood there at a loss for a moment. But no matter how windy the autumn wind was or how cold the rain was, she no longer felt cold. She only felt as if there was a sun in her body, and the warmth permeated every limb.

Just as the young Chen Yue stood there, unable to understand what was happening, Chen Mu's figure stood with his hands behind his back in the dim sky, overlooking the dilapidated house below, and shook his head slightly and said:
"The broken corner of time and space is not an illusion after all."

This is the power of the Avenue of Time, a corner of the past that broke apart from the long river of time. Everything here is real, but it is completely disconnected from the original time and space. It is precisely because this is not an illusion, but an independent corner of time and space, so Chen Mu did not use the power of the Venerable to forcibly destroy this world.

But he will not stay here, because since time cannot trap him and he can see through the essence of everything, everything here has no meaning. This independent corner of time and space is essentially a cage of time.

it's here,
Everything is almost the same as in the original world.

The only difference is that in this universe, there does not exist any Great Dao Venerable, and no Great Dao Venerable will be born, because the Great Dao Venerable has already become one with the Great Dao, and is beyond the influence of the Great Dao of Time alone.

It can be said that this broken universe and time was created because of him.

Chen Mu did not have many emotions towards this place, but for Chen Yue, even if she was just a microcosm of the past, he still loved her in his heart, so he gave Chen Yue the protection of the power of the Great Dao, allowing her to never wither in this past time and space. This was his blessing.

If in the future, Chen Yue in the original universe can become a Venerable, then everything about her on the timeline will be brought together, including this broken corner of time and space. All the 'Chen Yue' will be integrated into one, just like himself now, who is also the only one in the universe, and the power of the Avenue of Time cannot conceal his traces.

Chen Mu looked at Chen Yue lovingly. After a moment, he shifted his gaze to the distance, looking at the familiar Yucheng with a lot of emotion in his eyes. Suddenly, he took a step forward and came to a courtyard.

in the courtyard,
A figure in a straw raincoat sat by the pond, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

"Old man."

Chen Mu quietly appeared in the courtyard, walked forward a few steps, came to the side of the old man in the straw raincoat who was sitting alone, and called out softly.

Yu Jiujiang's hand holding the fishing rod tightened slightly, and he looked at the strange young man who suddenly appeared in front of him with a serious look, but he was not flustered. He said solemnly: "I am sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest."

Chen Mu looked at Yu Jiujiang carefully, revealing a nostalgic smile, then came to the edge of the pond, sat cross-legged, stretched out his hand and made a gesture, suddenly a fishing rod appeared out of thin air, fell into his palm, and lowered the fishing line into the pond.

Seeing Chen Mu's actions,
Yu Jiujiang's eyes flashed with light, but he quickly regained his composure and gently threw the fishing line into the pond. He said with a smile, "The distinguished guest must be from our sect. I have been away from the sect for many years. I never thought that someone from our sect would come to visit an old and frail person like me."

He could not see through Chen Mu's methods. He only knew that since Chen Mu could appear here quietly, his realm must be higher than his. Chen Mu's attitude was obviously very friendly, as if he knew him. Therefore, the only thing he could think of was the Qixuan Sect. He was once a deacon of the Qixuan Sect and had worked in the Qixuan Sect for decades. Maybe Chen Mu was once a disciple of the Qixuan Sect and had some interactions with him. Now his cultivation was higher than his, so he came to see him when he passed by Yucheng.

However, he really couldn't remember when he had met Chen Mu, nor could he remember who Chen Mu was in the Qixuan Sect.

"Yes, I am indeed a disciple of Qixuan."

Chen Mu smiled gently and said, "The old man has done me a favor. I am passing by here today, so I should come to visit him. I hope you will not mind my intrusion."

"Hahahaha, you are such a young and handsome man, yet you still remember a crippled person like me and take the initiative to come visit me. I am very comforted in my heart. How can I blame you?"

Yu Jiujiang smiled immediately when he heard that.

Although he really couldn't remember who Chen Mu was, it was obviously not appropriate to ask at this time. After all, Chen Mu remembered him, and it was a bit rude for him not to remember Chen Mu. Moreover, having a young hero from the Qixuan Sect come to visit him was undoubtedly a great thing for him and the entire Yu family.

Chen Mu didn't even need to do anything. As long as some rumors spread that a certain young generation of senior leader of the Qixuan Sect passed by Yu County and came to visit Yu Jiujiang in person, then the He family, the Xue family and other families in the city would become more wary of their Yu family and would not dare to start any fight with their Yu family in the short term.
