Chapter 2416 Foundation for Longevity
At the heart of the game, Li Qiong and the Faceless Man pondered this question, unable to arrive at a reasonable answer. They were utterly baffled by Chen Qingyuan's actions.
The more I think about it, the more confused I become.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, do you know what Chen Qingyuan's purpose is?"
After pondering for a long time without finding a solution, Li Qiong couldn't help but raise this question.
"He wants to forge his own path."
Others may not know the secrets involved, but Mu Cangyan certainly does.
Only by having studied the path to immortality to a certain extent can one come into contact with this thing.
What Mu Cangyan is doing now is severing his connection with the Great Dao of the Divine Continent, breaking free from his shackles, breaking out of his cage, and gaining true freedom. Only in this way can he take another step forward and touch the path to immortality.
Escaping the cage sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult. One must preserve one's foundation and cultivation without damage, while severing the intricate karmic ties with the Divine Land.
Difficult! Very difficult!
Mu Cangyan had tried several times in the ancient era, all of which ended in failure. Therefore, he knew how arduous this path was and that he needed to be well-prepared and carefully planned.
"One's own path? What does that mean?"
Li Qiong seemed to understand, but not quite.
Although the faceless man remained silent, a sharp light flashed across the vertical lines on his face as he stared intently at Mu Cangyan, awaiting an answer.
"To ascend to the throne by relying on one's own abilities and without taking advantage of so-called opportunities from heaven and earth."
Perhaps because of the long years and the loneliness in their hearts with no one to confide in, Mu Cangyan pondered for a while and decided to answer the questions of the two people in front of her.
"How can one become an emperor without seizing the opportune moment of heaven and earth?"
This was the first time Li Qiong had heard this statement, and she did not agree with it. Her voice was cold as she retorted.
In his worldview, there has never been such an example, not even in legends.
"Understand your true nature and prove the Way through your own experience."
Mu Cangyan said solemnly.
In other words, Chen Qingyuan attained enlightenment and became emperor; this "Dao" was himself.
By evolving oneself into the Dao, becoming equal to the order of heaven and earth, one can continue to grow, and no one can predict what heights one can reach in the future.
“Proving the Way and proving oneself, this... I've never heard of it before.”
The faceless man's abdominal voice was hoarse and hollow.
"Just because you two haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Mu Cangyan's voice was devoid of any emotion, as calm as still water.
"Leaving aside whether this matter is true or false, or whether it can succeed, I have a question: what is the significance of this action?"
Li Qiong had a vague idea, but dared not think too deeply about it. She needed to get a definite answer from Mu Cangyan.
Mu Cangyan succinctly stated: "To become an immortal! To achieve eternal life!"
Boom!
These words struck like a thunderbolt, causing Li Qiong and the Faceless Man to tremble slightly, their calm hearts suddenly churning with turmoil. The waves surged and intensified, like a flood bursting its banks, raging uncontrollably.
Simply put, lay the foundation for becoming an immortal by reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm!
How outrageous! How absurd!
Driven by instinct, their first reaction was to doubt and refuse to believe it. However, Mu Cangyan had no reason to deceive them; what would be the point of deliberately fabricating such a lie?
Immediately afterward, Li Qiong and the Faceless Man recalled Chen Qingyuan's extraordinary strength, which far exceeded the boundaries of worldly order. If Chen Qingyuan was laying the foundation for becoming an immortal, then all of this could be explained.
Li Qiong and the Faceless Man desperately wanted to speak, to express their shock. However, the words caught in their throats, and they didn't know what to say, their expressions quite complicated: "This..."
Speechless, my mind reeling.
They all turned to look at Chen Qingyuan outside the chessboard, a torrent of thoughts surging in their minds, making it difficult to calm down.
With the ancient bronze bell guarding this realm, Chen Qingyuan can focus on healing his injuries.
Having refined numerous resources, coupled with his extraordinary physical aptitude, his injuries will heal in no time.
Chen Qingyuan wore a white robe with cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs. He was surrounded by hundreds of mysterious auras, and every strand of his hair shimmered with a faint, supreme Dao light. From afar, he resembled a white-robed immortal, otherworldly and ethereal.
"Unheard of."
After a long silence, Li Qiong spoke in a hoarse voice.
Although he tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, he still couldn't do it.
No one could have imagined that the path to immortality could be established at the Divine Bridge Realm. This path is exceptionally difficult, and even if the world knew about it, it would be impossible for them to complete it.
Only the rarest geniuses, appearing only once in countless years, have even the slightest chance of success.
"Fellow Daoist Mu, what do you think?"
When the topic turned to Chen Qingyuan, Li Qiong wanted to learn more about him.
“He is exceptionally talented, far surpassing us. If given enough time to prove himself, he has great potential. However, the golden age has arrived, and time is running out for him. Therefore, he has no choice but to take a risk; one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.”
Mu Cangyan answered solemnly.
To be honest, Mu Cangyan was quite envious of Chen Qingyuan's talent, even jealous!
He often thought that if he possessed two or three tenths of Chen Qingyuan's extraordinary talent, after years of planning, he would surely be able to ascend to the position of immortality and overlook the ages.
Once, Chen Qingyuan entered the Zangheng Forbidden Zone and met with Emperor Qiheng.
At that time, Emperor Qiheng gave Mu Cangyan a fair evaluation: "His talent is average, but his perseverance is extraordinary."
If Mu Cangyan's innate talent were just a little bit higher, his achievements would far surpass what he has now.
While acquired aptitude can indeed be improved, one's innate nature is difficult to change.
"He wanted to take this opportunity to comprehend the Dao and ascend to the supreme position through special means."
No wonder Chen Qingyuan was guarding this place; it turns out he had this plan.
He won't get his way.
Mu Cangyan said coldly.
If Chen Qingyuan dares to enter, Mu Cangyan will definitely suppress him, denying him the opportunity to comprehend the fundamental principles of the emperors. Unless the Taiwei Emperor intervenes forcefully.
If things really come to that, and Mu Cangyan and Emperor Taiwei clash in a great battle, the game will be thrown into chaos, and it will be a question whether everyone can even protect themselves, let alone take the opportunity to comprehend the truth.
What grudge do you hold against him? Why are you targeting him like this?
Li Qiong was unaware of the details and was quite curious.
"He is a variable that has affected my plans."
Back in the ancient times, 300,000 years ago, Chen Qingyuan almost caused Mu Cangyan a great disaster. If Chen Qingyuan had successfully entered the other shore, he would have attracted the attention of the Great Dao Origin.
At that time, either Mu Cangyan will give Chen Qingyuan a wisp of the stolen opportunity to attain enlightenment, guaranteeing Chen Qingyuan's success in attaining enlightenment; or the origin of the Great Dao will discover the anomaly on the other shore and bring down judgment.
Mu Cangyan didn't want to see either outcome.
Therefore, Chen Qingyuan must not be allowed to cross to the other side; he must be stopped from entering.
"understood."
Although Mu Cangyan did not provide a detailed explanation, Li Qiong and the Faceless Man already understood.
"What will he do next?"
Everyone was very curious about Chen Qingyuan's whereabouts.
