The First Marquis of Daxuan

Master Xuanxuan was breathing rapidly, staring at Su Mu with disbelief on his face.

Su Mu seemed to be immersed in some kind of special enlightenment, and his body moved slowly.

With his movements, waves of violent power arose spontaneously, rippling endlessly within the Pangu Tomb.

The more Master Xuanxuan looked, the more alarmed he became.

This is clearly the Pangu Creation Technique!

That bastard Su Mu actually managed to master it?

Master Xuanxuan subconsciously shrank back, fearing that Su Mu might kill him without him even realizing it.

Su Mu didn't notice Xuanxuan Shangren's reaction at all, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

He is now completely immersed in the Pangu Creation Technique.

When Master Xuanxuan gave him the jade slip containing the Pangu Creation Technique, Su Mu was not entirely without doubt.

However, he was confident in his abilities, so he was only slightly wary.

Even Su Mu himself was somewhat surprised. It was just a martial arts technique, yet it contained such a vast amount of information that it could shock his soul.

Strictly speaking, this is not because there is a problem with the Pangu Creation Technique.

Rather, the information contained in this technique was simply too vast, so vast that even Su Mu's soul could hardly bear it.

It was because he saw too much information in an instant that his soul couldn't process it, which is why he fell into a state where he couldn't control his body.

This problem does exist with overly advanced martial arts techniques.

However, this situation usually only occurs to people whose martial arts skills are not high.

Su Mu never imagined that he would encounter such a situation one day.

Just as his soul was shaken, Su Mu seemed to see Pangu from back then.

A towering figure stood with his back to him, unleashing the Pangu Creation Technique.

The opponent wielded a giant axe, and with a single cleavage, countless universes perished.

The power of that axe strike sent a shiver down Su Mu's spine.

He figured that if he were the one facing that axe blow, even if he barely survived, he would probably be severely injured.

He calmed his mind and watched as Pangu demonstrated the Pangu Creation Technique.

Each move was quickly imprinted in Su Mu's mind.

Although it was only a fleeting moment of viewing the technique, Su Mu felt as if he had experienced countless years.

This is different from the effect of adding points using the system panel.

Previously, when he added points, the improvement in his cultivation level was very noticeable.

It's actually just a delusion on his part.

Even if the system panel is still there, it probably won't be able to improve martial arts like the Pangu Creation Technique.

Although it was just an illusion, Su Mu had indeed grasped the profound mystery of the Pangu Creation Technique.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mu suddenly raised his hand, his palm like a knife, and slashed forward.

Swish!
A crack was cleaved open in space, and the crack spread rapidly until it reached Xuanxuan Shangren's eyes, stopping abruptly when it was only an inch away from Xuanxuan Shangren's forehead.

Master Xuanxuan was ice cold all over, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.

He dared not move an inch, for fear that Su Mu would really kill him with one move.

He had already figured it out; this was undoubtedly the Pangu Creation Technique!

The genuine Pangu Creation Technique!

With Su Mu's strength, if he used the Pangu Creation Technique, he could definitely kill him in one move.

Even more so, the power of the Pangu Creation Technique could follow the causal lines and annihilate his entire body.

This is the power of the Pangu Creation Technique!
He wasn't afraid of Su Mu killing him before because he knew that even if Su Mu destroyed his body, he would still have other bodies outside, which he could recover in time.

But now, Master Xuanxuan is truly afraid.

With the Pangu Creation Technique, Su Mu now truly possesses the ability to annihilate him.

Under the Pangu Creation Technique, no matter how many parts of his body he has, he will be destroyed in one move.

"Master Su, I don't think I've offended you, have I?"

Master Xuanxuan said in a trembling voice that he did not even dare to call Su Mu by his name, but only called him Master Su.

He learned this from Protector Niu and others.

Su Mu has now become so strong that Su Mu dares not address him by his name directly.

"No."

Su Mu slowly withdrew his hand and said calmly, "It was a mistake. I got so engrossed in practicing that I forgot you were still here. I almost thought you were an enemy."

Master Xuanxuan smiled awkwardly, relieved but secretly cursing in his heart.

You're the one in charge.

If it were anyone else, I would have killed them even if I didn't glare at them.

But now, you're strong enough, so I accept your explanation, which isn't really an explanation.

"You really mastered the Pangu Creation Technique?"

Master Xuanxuan let out a long breath and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"I wouldn't say I've mastered it, I've only scratched the surface."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "This martial art is indeed terrifyingly powerful."

I am still far from being as good as Pangu.

"I don't know if I can cultivate the Pangu Creation Technique to the level of Pangu himself."

He looked on with a sigh, but Master Xuanxuan inwardly rolled his eyes.

Are you even human?
You dare to compare yourself to Pangu?

What kind of being was Pangu?
You've mastered the basics of the Pangu Creation Technique with just one glance. Even if Pangu himself were in your shoes, he wouldn't dare say he could do it.

Compared to Pangu, you are only young.

If you were to live to the age of Pangu, who knows who would be stronger between you and Pangu!
"I didn't lie to you, did I? This Pangu Creation Technique is indeed Pangu's trump card, and one of the assets that allowed him to dominate the world."

"Once you master the Pangu Creation Technique, the primordial creatures of the desolate heavens will be no threat at all."

Master Xuanxuan said.

"Since you knew this would happen, why didn't you give me the Pangu Creation Technique sooner?"

Su Mu said calmly, "If you had given it to me earlier, we wouldn't have been forced into this situation by the Desolate Creatures."

Or last time, I would have just killed 'Bitter' directly.

Master Xuanxuan: "..."

It's become my fault?
Why would I give you the Pangu Creation Technique? We're enemies, not friends, aren't we?

What do I care about the life and death of all the worlds?
If you hadn't pushed me to this point, do you think I would have given you the Pangu Creation Technique?

Whether it's sooner or later, I gave you the Pangu Creation Technique, didn't I? I sacrificed so much, and not only did I not get any benefit, but I also got blamed by you.

"Merits and demerits cancel each other out."

Su Mu seemed to know what Xuanxuan Shangren was thinking, and said calmly, "For the sake of the Pangu Creation Technique, I will forgive you for what you did in the past."

"As long as you don't do anything that is condemned by both gods and men again, I promise I won't kill you."

"Thank you!"

Master Xuanxuan said almost through gritted teeth.

If you don't kill me, I'll be grateful to you.
How can a person be so shameless?
But as the saying goes, if you're strong, you're right.

I can't beat you, so whatever you say makes perfect sense!

"Now that I have reformed, how could I possibly do anything to harm all the worlds?"

Master Xuanxuan gave an awkward laugh and said in a dry voice.

"Better so."

Su Mu glanced at him and said meaningfully.

"Master Su, are there any other valuable items in this Pangu Tomb that I haven't discovered yet?"

Master Xuanxuan changed the subject.

He got better and better at saying it.

That's how people are; once they break the routine, they quickly get used to the new identity.

Some things are either not done at all, or once done, there's no going back.

"Have."

Su Mu said with certainty.

He took a step forward, raised his arm, and slashed forward with his hand like a knife.

Swish!
A force visible to the naked eye cleaved through space.

This enormous Pangu Tomb was neatly split in two by Su Mu's palm strike.

Master Xuanxuan's eyelids twitched as he read this.

He had visited Pangu's tomb more than once.

Although it looks like a ruin, it is actually incredibly sturdy.

Breaking a few floor tiles is easy, but even with Xuanxuan Shangren's strength, it's impossible to destroy the space of Pangu Tomb.

Such a solid space was now cleaved open by Su Mu's casual palm strike!
Master Xuanxuan followed Su Mu's gaze and looked ahead.

At the end of the crack, in the deepest part of Pangu's tomb, a point of white light suddenly appeared.

The white light slowly drifted out, and before Master Xuanxuan could make a move, Su Mu had already reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

Master Xuanxuan couldn't help but peek over to take a look, and saw that Su Mu had a round seed in his palm.

The seeds emitted a soft glow, making them look quite extraordinary.

“This is—” Master Xuanxuan’s pupils suddenly contracted.

"These are seeds of the World Tree?!"

The tree that Pangu and another person planted on the desolate plains was the World Tree.

The tree that bears these fruits from all the heavens and myriad worlds is also the World Tree.

Such a miraculous thing must have seeds of immeasurable value!
Even Master Xuanxuan was learning for the first time that Pangu had actually left behind a seed!
With this seed, theoretically, another World Tree could be grown, and another myriad worlds could be created.

Of course, it's not easy to find soil suitable for planting seeds.

Pangu and another powerful being spent countless years finding a desolate wilderness.

Now that one World Tree has been planted on the Wasteland, it is impossible to plant another one.

"It's a pity, you can't find another desolate wasteland, so there's no use for these seeds."

Master Xuanxuan sighed.

His feelings this time came from the bottom of his heart.

If a World Tree could be grown, aside from anything else, the resources that grow from it alone would be of immeasurable benefit.

Moreover, the World Tree itself has wonderful uses; its branches and trunks are incomparable treasures.

Even a powerful being like Pangu spent countless efforts to plant the World Tree.

This demonstrates the power of the World Tree.

Where did the seeds of the World Tree come from? Why was Pangu able to obtain two of them?

Su Mu examined the tree seed in his palm and asked thoughtfully.

"How would I know?"

Master Xuanxuan shrugged.

"Didn't you tell me that what Pangu transplanted to the desolate plains was a small sapling back then?"
You are still the worm hidden among the roots. Since Pangu did not plant the seed directly on the barren plain, it means that Pangu and his people actually found a place where the World Tree seed could be planted.

Otherwise, a seed couldn't magically transform into a sapling.

Su Mu pondered for a moment.

Master Xuanxuan was taken aback. “What you said may be true, but I really don’t know anything about it.”

I was completely clueless back then, and I have no memory of it at all.

"Whether I know it or not doesn't matter, I have no intention of growing it anyway."

Su Mu said calmly, "It would be good if this seed could grow the World Tree, but it wouldn't matter if it couldn't."

I can feel the surging energy contained within it.

Why can't all the heavens and myriad realms coexist peacefully with the Desolate Plains?

Isn't it because resources are limited that both sides need to compete for them?

Now that we have this seed, all the realms will no longer need to worry about a lack of resources.

What do you want to do?

Master Xuanxuan looked horrified and couldn't help but ask.

This is the seed of the World Tree! Master Xuanxuan couldn't imagine what kind of person would want to destroy it.

This is like having a hen that lays golden eggs, but instead of wanting it to lay golden eggs, you want to slaughter it and eat it.

Eating meat is certainly enjoyable, but it's a one-time thing.

If it is planted as a world tree, then it can continuously obtain various resources.

Anyone who isn't stupid knows how to choose.

Is Su Mu an idiot?

Certainly not!

But he actually did something so crazy.

While being shocked, Master Xuanxuan was also filled with admiration for Su Mu.

As expected of Master Xuanxuan's nemesis, he is indeed crazy and arrogant!
The seeds of the World Tree were given up so easily; is that something an ordinary person could do?

Only at this point did Master Xuanxuan truly submit to Master Su.

Anyway, if it were him, he definitely couldn't do it.

"While there is some truth to what you say, I must remind you that destroying the seeds of the World Tree is not so easy."

There is only one way you can unleash its power.

That is to cultivate the Pangu Creation Technique to its highest level.

Only the Pangu Creation Technique can break the seed of the World Tree.

At this point, Master Xuanxuan suddenly paused for a moment.

"I finally understand why Pangu left the Pangu Creation Technique in this tomb. It was for the seed of the World Tree."

Master Xuanxuan murmured to himself.

Ordinary forces cannot destroy the seeds of the World Tree, unless it is the Pangu Creation Technique.

The Pangu Creation Technique and the seed of the World Tree are a perfect match...

"Mastering the Pangu Creation Technique is indeed quite difficult."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and said, "However, there are still more than two years until the time I agreed with the Desolate Sky Creatures on 'Bitter'—"

"You think you can master the Pangu Creation Technique in just two years?"

Master Xuanxuan couldn't help but say.

How is this possible?
He didn't say the second half of his sentence. He suddenly remembered that too many impossible things had happened to Su Mu.

He had previously thought that Su Mu could not possibly master the Pangu Creation Technique, but now the fact is that Su Mu has indeed mastered the basics of the Pangu Creation Technique.

He mastered the basics of cultivation after just one reading; who can guarantee that he won't master the Pangu Creation Technique within two years?
Is there anything I can help you with?

Master Xuanxuan said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely not have any wicked ideas this time.”

I genuinely want to help you, and I also want to see what will happen if the World Tree seed sprouts.

Su Mu looked at Master Xuanxuan and saw that Master Xuanxuan looked very sincere. He pondered for a moment.

"I do need an assistant."

Su Mu said slowly, "The best way to learn a martial art is to practice it."

Looking across all the heavens and myriad realms, there are very few people qualified to be my sparring partner.

Wilderness Creatures are definitely not suitable, and Transcendent Being Jin Hong also has important matters to attend to. Only you—"

Su Mu looked at Master Xuanxuan and said in a deep voice.

Master Xuanxuan's expression froze. A sparring partner?
Does that mean you're going to use the Pangu Creation Technique on me?
That's the Pangu Creation Technique!

I'm afraid you might accidentally kill me.

Even if you say you didn't do it on purpose, I'm still dead.

Those who die under the Pangu Creation Technique cannot be resurrected.

"I wouldn't mind being your sparring partner, but the power of this Pangu Creation Technique is too great, and I'm worried that I might not be up to the task..."

Master Xuanxuan hesitated before speaking, somewhat regretting that he had been too eager just now.

He was genuinely curious about what would happen if the Pangu Creation Technique and the seeds of the World Tree came into contact.

He genuinely wanted to do his part.

But that doesn't mean he's going to risk his life.

He's not that great.

He was simply curious and wanted to make it happen as quickly as possible within his capabilities, nothing more.

But now, Su Mu seems to be taking it seriously.

If he refuses Su Mu now, will Su Mu get angry and use the Pangu Creation Technique to kill him?
"If you can't do it, then no one in the world can."

You've had the Pangu Creation Technique in your hands for so many years, even if you haven't mastered it, you're still quite familiar with it.

"If we spar, it might even help you master the Pangu Creation Technique."

Su Mu waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "This ancient tomb is just right for you and me to cultivate here."

Even if we fight to the death here, it won't affect the outside world at all.

If we can truly destroy this Pangu Tomb, it means that one of us has mastered the Pangu Creation Technique.

Master Xuanxuan wanted to say something more, but Su Mu didn't give him the chance.

"Be careful. Although this is just a friendly spar, I won't hold back. If I accidentally hurt you, please don't take it personally."

Su Mu said loudly.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Mu raised his hand and brought his palm down.

Master Xuanxuan was filled with helplessness, but he dared not stand there and let Su Mu attack him.

He swayed and retreated a hundred feet away, leaving a trail of afterimages.

"Since that's the case, then I won't hold back. I'll fight back with all my might. If I hurt you, don't blame me for taking it too seriously!"

The ruthlessness that was inherent in Master Xuanxuan also erupted.

He unleashed all the resentment he had been holding in for days.

Since we're going to fight, let's fight. He also wanted to find out more about Su Mu's background.

Although he admires Su Mu now, he will still kill Su Mu if he has the chance in the future.

After all, how could he and Su Mu coexist?

If he and Su Mu coexist, who is the boss and who is the second-in-command?

"Roar!"

Master Xuanxuan let out a roar, and his power exploded. A long sword appeared in his hand, and he swung it forward. The sword light flashed and instantly engulfed Su Mu.

At the same time, Master Xuanxuan took out a golden gong and flung it forward, covering Su Mu beneath it. (End of Chapter)
