"The Mysterious Root of Heaven and Earth?"
The celestial beings of the Heavenly Realm and the people of the Yellow Heaven Path looked at each other in bewilderment
They didn't quite understand what this meant.
"Lord Yintian, what is the Mysterious Root of Heaven and Earth?"
Xia Zhizun, with his quick temper, couldn't help but ask.
"What does this thing have to do with the celestial realm? Can it possibly affect the life and death of us celestial beings?"
"You could say that."
Su Mu said calmly, "You can think of the Celestial Realm as the fruit that grows on a tree."
"Is this tree the very root of heaven and earth?"
Zhang Jiao's face showed shock.
According to this theory, isn't the mysterious root of heaven and earth the foundation of the celestial realm?
Why did it suddenly appear?
Su Mu shook his head and remained silent.
He actually knew the answer in his heart.
The sudden appearance of this mysterious root of heaven and earth is probably related to his absorption of Yang Tianjun's power.
Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, this mysterious root of heaven and earth was probably the "Yin Tian Jun"!
That's right.
The sapling in front of me must be the missing Yin Tianjun.
However, Su Mu had no intention of telling everyone the truth.
Of course, people may have their own guesses.
However, they didn't dare say anything in front of Su Mu.
"Lord Yintian, this 'Heaven and Earth Mysterious Root' isn't the Heavenly Emperor's true form, is it?"
A celestial being from the heavens asked, "Then what's its use? Should we keep it or how should we dispose of it?"
All eyes fell on Su Mu.
Su Mu has just said that this Heaven and Earth Profound Root is related to the lives of all the Celestials, so they have no choice but to think about it carefully.
If harming this Root of Heaven and Earth could affect their lives, then they really need to find a way to protect it.
This celestial being was also testing Su Mu.
Although they have formed an alliance with Su Mu, to be honest, there is not much trust between them.
The celestial beings in the heavens are on guard against Su Mu.
They also wanted to know what Su Mu would choose when given the opportunity to kill them, the celestial beings of the heavens.
If this mysterious root of heaven and earth is truly related to the lives of celestial beings, then Su Mu's choice will reveal his attitude towards them.
"You can try to pull it out."
Su Mu said with a half-smile.
The celestial being from that realm looked embarrassed.
Su Mu's words sounded somewhat familiar.
This is what Su Mu said when they tried to seize Yang Tianjun's corpse.
Their companion did indeed touch Yang Tianjun's corpse at that time.
The result was tragic.
That companion failed to absorb Yang Tianjun's power and instead lost his life.
Although the situation is not as tense as before, judging from Su Mu's tone, it is likely that they cannot harm the Heavenly Root.
"What a coincidence! The Heavenly Emperor is a tree demon, and this Root of Heaven and Earth also looks like a tree..."
Xia Zhizun muttered.
Zhang Jiao rolled her eyes at him.
"Have you ever considered that this might not be a coincidence?"
Zhang Jiao said irritably.
"Why didn't you ever consider that the Heavenly Emperor's true form might be the Root of Heaven and Earth?"
"Didn't the Heavenly Lord say that this primordial root of heaven and earth is not the Heavenly Emperor—"
Xia Zhizun blurted it out.
Suddenly he paused for a moment.
"No, no, there might be more than one Root of Heaven and Earth."
Xia Zhizun was, after all, a Yuanshi Realm expert. Although he was impulsive, he was not stupid.
He realized it immediately.
"Just how many Mysterious Roots of Heaven and Earth are there in this Celestial Realm?"
All the celestial beings fell silent.
They looked at each other, and after a long while, no one spoke.
"No need to look anymore."
Su Mu suddenly spoke up, "I think I already know the origin of the Heavenly Emperor."
Even if you dig three feet into the ground here, you still won't find his true form.
Everyone looked at each other.
Although they already had many guesses in their minds, they didn't have Su Mu's confidence.
No one knows whether those speculations are true or false.
"Is there anything else we can do?"
The celestial beings in the heavenly realm looked completely bewildered.
Yang Tianjun's corpse cannot be moved, and now they don't even need to search for the Heavenly Emperor's true form.
For a moment, they didn't know what to do.
"Wait."
Su Mu slowly uttered a single word.
"That's the only way."
Zhang Jiao, Xia Zhizun, and the other celestial beings all sighed.
Despite saying this, a celestial being from the heavens still sneaked close to the Heavenly Root and tentatively reached out to pluck a leaf from it.
He exerted force, but the leaf did not budge.
Apply more force.
Suddenly, a blinding light burst forth from the Root of Heaven and Earth.
boom!
The celestial being from that realm was directly ejected.
When everyone looked over, the celestial being from the heavens had already gotten up from the ground in a somewhat disheveled state.
He looked embarrassed.
"You guys still don't believe in Yin Tianjun."
Xia Zhizun said with a mocking expression, "You asked for trouble."
"I just wanted to give it a try."
The celestial being from that realm said awkwardly.
How could he have known that such a powerful force would erupt from the primordial root of heaven and earth?
He was a powerful expert at the Primordial Realm, yet he was completely powerless to resist that force.
Now they believe it.
This mysterious root of heaven and earth is indeed extraordinary.
The seemingly fragile sapling was able to unleash a power that he could not resist.
"Just a friendly reminder, it's best not to hit it lightly, otherwise don't blame me for standing by if something really happens."
Su Mu said calmly.
If this mysterious root of heaven and earth is indeed, as he thought, the vanished Yin Tianjun.
That means it might have consciousness.
However, for some reason he himself did not know, Yin Tianjun was unable to take human form.
But who can guarantee when he will recover?
If you mess with him now, when he recovers, won't he seek revenge?
Anyway, if it's Su Mu, he'll definitely get his revenge.
"The Yin Heavenly Lord and the Yang Heavenly Lord—that's interesting."
Su Mu's expression turned somewhat profound as he muttered to himself.
He glanced at the system panel in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
Amidst the flickering light and shadow, the system panel reappeared before my eyes.
Su Mu's heart stirred, and disregarding the presence of others, he focused his attention on the system panel.
Name: Su Mu
[Identity: Great Xuan Ruler]
[Origin Points: 10]
[Realm: Primordial Realm]
[Cultivation Techniques: Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture, Supreme Immortal Body Scripture... (can be fused and deduced)]
The content on the system panel has been greatly simplified compared to before.
The points have become the original points.
The cultivation method now includes an option for fusion and deduction.
"Great Xuan Ruler... what kind of status is that?"
Su Mu felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
However, it is indeed difficult to define his current identity.
His status in the Great Xuan Dynasty was somewhat special.
No one in the Great Xuan Dynasty, from top to bottom, could grant him an official position.
Outside of the Great Xuan Dynasty, there would be even less chance of giving him an identity.
Su Mu suddenly remembered a saying from his past life: When you're out in the world, your identity is something you give yourself.
"Integrated simulation?"
Su Mu pondered to himself.
He doesn't yet know how he obtained these origin points.
However, it is probably not his own origin.
He was, after all, a top expert at the peak of the Primordial Realm; surely his source energy shouldn't only be 10 points.
"Previously, points were based on identity and were earned naturally every day. I wonder if these Origin Points are the same."
Su Mu pondered to himself.
Although we don't know where the origin points come from, since we have them, we can't keep them.
"Integration and deduction," Su Mu muttered to himself.
hum!
Su Mu seemed to hear a soft sound.
The ten Origin Points have disappeared.
A flood of memories surged through Su Mu's mind.
In my memory, he seemed to be in seclusion, cultivating his skills.
The Primordial Chaos Immortal Scripture, the Supreme Immortal Body Scripture...
All the cultivation techniques he had obtained from Huang Tiandao and his group collided in his mind.
One year, two years, three years...
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.
Ten points of origin have brought a thousand years of enlightenment.
Over the course of a thousand years of contemplation, the Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture, the Supreme Immortal Body Scripture, and others gradually merged together.
Just as a flash of inspiration seemed to be breaking through his mind, and he was about to grasp something new.
The comprehension suddenly came to an abrupt end.
Su Mu opened his eyes, a flash of annoyance in them.
Damn it.
Why did it stop at the most crucial moment?
Even after a thousand years of comprehension, he still couldn't integrate these techniques.
Can a single point of the essence of life lead to a century of enlightenment?
Although somewhat helpless, Su Mu still secretly reviewed the situation.
If he had another 10 points of life essence, he was confident that he could integrate these techniques together and then deduce a completely new technique.
This brand-new cultivation technique might allow him to break through to the Primordial Realm or higher.
The system panel had reached its limit before, but after absorbing Yang Tianjun's power, the system panel was directly upgraded.
Su Mu now feels that the system panel is working again.
He had previously tried to explore realms beyond the Primordial Realm, but his progress on his own was very slow.
Now that the system panel has been upgraded, he may be able to truly deduce the realms above the Primordial Realm in the future.
Su Mu is now eager to obtain Origin Points.
"The Heavenly Emperor?"
Zhang Jiao's voice rang in Su Mu's ear, his tone tinged with trepidation.
While they were talking, Su Mu suddenly closed his eyes, and then his aura began to fluctuate violently.
This really gave everyone a fright.
Although they hadn't known Su Mu for long, they had all witnessed his strength.
Now they discovered that the oppressive force emanating from Su Mu was in no way inferior to that of the Heavenly Emperor.
The fluctuations in Su Mu's aura just now filled them all with an immense sense of fear.
They even suspected that Su Mu had broken through to the Primordial Realm due to that power.
"fine."
Su Mu shook his head and said calmly, "I just had a slight realization."
The celestial beings looked at each other in bewilderment.
Have I gained some insight?
Are you serious?
With your level of cultivation, you can gain insights anytime, anywhere.
Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, Qian Gongliu, and others looked completely unfazed.
They even felt a little contempt for these celestial beings making a fuss over nothing.
You'll get used to it eventually.
Su Mu is just that kind of person.
A sudden realization can happen anytime, anywhere.
Otherwise, where do you think he got his powerful cultivation level?
"Heavenly Lord, has your strength recovered even more?"
Zhang Jiao said with some surprise.
Previously, Su Mu was already able to fight the Heavenly Emperor to a standstill.
If Su Mu's cultivation level were to break through again, or if he were to recover even more, wouldn't that mean the Heavenly Emperor would no longer be his match?
Now the Heavenly Emperor is their enemy, and their first thought is how to deal with him.
This is the top priority.
"Slight progress."
Su Mu said calmly, "However, the Heavenly Emperor is not so easy to deal with."
"Just how powerful is the Heavenly Emperor?"
Zhang Jiao murmured.
…………
Beyond the celestial realm.
A figure appeared in the void.
With a single open mouth, a violent force sucked all the nearby planets into it.
Rumble!
The aura emanating from the Heavenly Emperor fluctuated unpredictably.
Several hours passed before his breathing calmed down.
The anger on his face vanished without a trace.
"I've been hunting geese all year round, but I never expected to get pecked in the eye by a goose."
The Heavenly Emperor said coldly.
"Su Mu—humph, he actually impersonated Yin Tianjun and fooled those guys like Zhang Jiao."
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Too bad, you can fool those idiots like Zhang Jiao, but you can't fool me."
Yin Tian Jun?
"Hmph, do you think I don't know whether you're the Yin Tian Lord or not?"
He looked towards the celestial realm, and a thoughtful expression gradually appeared on his face.
"Although he is not Yin Tianjun, he does have some strength."
The Heavenly Emperor muttered to himself, "Moreover, those idiots like Zhang Jiao all obey him without question."
I'm only at the peak of the Primordial Realm right now, so it wouldn't be easy for me to deal with them all by myself.
The hidden measures we set up back then are finally coming in handy.
suddenly.
He let out a long howl.
The long howl transformed into visible sound waves that spread through the void.
hum!
In the void, space itself began to tremble.
One after another, enormous figures emerged from the void.
Those figures were none other than Void Beasts.
The aura emanating from those Void Beasts was incredibly powerful; they were all at the Primordial Realm level.
Moreover, the number is unimaginably large.
Within a radius of several thousand miles, there were countless Void Beasts.
And even more Void Beasts surged forth.
It was as if all the void beasts in the entire universe had appeared.
No one expected that the Void Beast was actually raised by the Heavenly Emperor.
A smug look flashed in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes.
"You're far from being able to compete with me."
The Heavenly Emperor sneered.
He let out a long howl and flew towards the Heavenly Realm first, followed by all the Void Beasts.
…………
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
Su Mu kept staring at the system panel in front of him.
After the day ends.
The system panel flickered with light and shadow.
The number of source points remained unchanged.
Su Mu frowned involuntarily.
Previously, the points on the system panel would increase daily, even if you did nothing.
He thought the system panel would remain the same after the upgrade.
After a day of trying, the source points have not increased.
Therefore, we need to find other ways to obtain Origin Points.
"Since identity doesn't directly translate to points, could it be related to Yang Tianjun's power?"
Su Mu pondered to himself, then his figure flashed and he reappeared below the Lingxiao Palace.
He used the same method as before to pierce the skin of Yang Tianjun's corpse.
As a stream of power surged forth, the number of Origin Points on the system panel did indeed jump slightly.
One point, two points...
The number of the source points keeps jumping up.
After a few breaths, the changes ceased.
The original points have returned to ten.
Then Yang Tianjun's corpse stopped emanating power.
"Ok?"
Su Mu was somewhat surprised, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"Is this all I can absorb? Ten points is my current limit?"
Yang Tianjun's corpse remained almost unchanged, making it impossible for it to have been drained dry.
Therefore, it's only possible that the system panel has a limit to its absorption capacity.
This is quite different from before.
Although he found it a bit strange, Su Mu didn't dwell on it for too long.
With a thought, he invested the 10 newly acquired points of life essence into the derivation of the cultivation technique.
As a flood of memories rushed into his mind, Su Mu immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, his aura beginning to fluctuate. (End of Chapter)
