Splash.
The murky and bitter seawater poured in, flooding the underground cavern where Chen Mu was in seclusion. It quickly submerged the place, turning it into an underwater cavern, covering Chen Mu’s body and the corpse of the Red Dragon in the cavern, along with a pool of Dragon Blood.
However, this submersion did not affect the situation in the cavern at all.
Chen Mu remained seated cross-legged beside the Dragon Blood Pool. The pool still appeared to be boiling in the seawater, not mixing with the water. Occasionally, sizzling sounds echoed from the pool, causing the seawater to steam.
The entire seabed gradually turned into a silent expanse. The pervasive demon qi, washed and refined by the Power of Heaven and Earth, slowly faded away. Throughout this process, Chen Mu sat motionless by the Dragon Blood Pool.
Above his head…
The intensely burning Soul Heart Flame was gradually dissipating, revealing a bright Lunar Wheel. Compared to before, the Lunar Wheel had significantly shrunk, but at its core, there was a faint golden light. This light flickered like a candle flame but was unwavering against the purification and refinement of the Power of Heaven and Earth, as solid as gold forged in a furnace.
The side effects of burning the Soul Heart were immense. Even a Celestial Master would not resort to such a method unless in an absolutely desperate situation. Once used, it was nearly impossible to reverse; at best, one’s realm would fall, and one would no longer maintain the Unity of Heaven and Man. At worst, one’s consciousness would collapse, falling into a state of half-madness, half-wakefulness.
For someone like Chen Mu, whose Soul Heart had not yet reached the Celestial Human Level, to have his Soul Heart entangled and burned by a Celestial Master, igniting his own in the process, would almost certainly lead to the irreversible annihilation of his Soul Heart.
Yet…
It just so happened that Chen Mu’s Soul Heart power was on par with that of a Celestial Human, capable of withstanding the burning of Soul Fire. Moreover, he was enduring the refinement and washing of the Power of Heaven and Earth. As long as the faint light within did not extinguish, it would gradually recover over time.
Chen Mu’s current situation was not as dire. Although a significant part of his Soul Heart power had burned out, he had gained a clearer understanding of himself and his true self in Ji Yongzhao’s life-or-death struggle. Furthermore, Ji Yongzhao practiced the Qiankun Path. The burning of his Soul Fire provided Chen Mu with the most fitting tempering of his Soul Heart.
As a result…
After enduring the burn of the Soul Fire, Chen Mu’s Soul Heart finally condensed into a spark of ‘Undying’ Immortal Aura!
Compared to the physical body, the Soul Heart was extremely fragile. There were only a few ways to heal the Soul Heart in the world, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items capable of healing it were exceptionally rare. This was why, when Qin Mengjun was ambushed and her Soul Heart was damaged during the Blood Exchange, the world regretted it, thinking she had reached her limit.
Qin Mengjun’s eventual healing of her old wounds and recovery of her Soul Heart damage was not solely due to her talent and effort, but also a measure of fortuitous opportunity and destiny.
Now, Chen Mu, having condensed a spark of ‘Undying’ Immortal Aura in his Soul Heart, underwent a qualitative transformation!
He was entirely himself.
He was Chen Mu!
Coming from a world beyond the heavens, merging with this body, irreplaceable, unique in the universe!
As long as this spark of Immortal Aura did not extinguish, no matter how severe the damage to his Soul Heart, even if he fell into a state of lifeless silence, it would gradually heal over time. Soul Heart damage would no longer be irreversible for him!
It was at the moment this ‘Undying’ Immortal Aura was fully condensed that the Soul Fire burning above Chen Mu’s Soul Heart vanished entirely, along with everything related to Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao.
The remnants of the Soul Fire seemed to hold Ji Yongzhao’s lingering resentment, flickering in an attempt to make a final counterattack, but it could no longer shake Chen Mu’s Soul Heart in the slightest, ultimately extinguishing forever.
Thus…
This emperor who ruled for over two centuries and controlled the world for a hundred and fifty years vanished into nothingness.
The silent annihilation of a Celestial Master was extraordinary; under normal circumstances, the fall of a Celestial Human would cause a great upheaval for a thousand li, manifesting visions that all living beings mourned.
Yet at this moment, whether due to the attempt to devour Chen Mu’s Soul Heart and merge with him, or for other reasons, the entire world was in silence, without the slightest vision appearing.
If Chen Mu’s consciousness were fully awake at this time, he would soon realize that although Ji Yongzhao was a Celestial Master, and possibly the strongest person of his time, his practice of the Evil Methods of Soul Fusion and Aperture Seizing, usurping others’ bodies and lifespans, had long severed his connection with Heaven. In other words, from the moment he practiced such methods, the heavens had already recognized Ji Yongzhao as dead.
In fact…
To the entire Da Xuan, Ji Yongzhao should have died long ago. From the moment he practiced the evil techniques of Soul Fusion, stealing others’ bodies and lifespans, he should have perished; such methods should not exist in the Da Xuan World.
Meanwhile…
In the populous and martial Central Prefecture, the center of the Da Xuan Ninety-Nine States, the heart of the Imperial Court…
King Han and King Liang were still discussing strategies against Chen Mu.
King Jin, King Chu, and others were contemplating ways to use Chen Mu to ascend to power.
The eunuch Wei He, who oversaw the Taihe Hall, continued his vigil, calmly serving and covering up everything for Ji Yongzhao, awaiting his return to pacify the turbulent realm once more.
