Not much hesitation.

Chen Mu directly spent soul points to choose to upgrade.

From lv58 to lv59, there is almost no big change. I can only feel that the soul has been slightly improved. Although it can be noticed, it is not obvious.

But the upgrade from lv59 to lv60 was completely different. This level of improvement immediately made Chen Mu feel that his whole heart and soul were condensed and became thicker and more solid.

also.

Chen Mu also felt that the world in front of him seemed to become clearer.

Although real people have the ability to understand the true wonders of all things, they are still far from the realm of great wisdom that is rumored to be able to know everything in the world.

What real people possess can only be regarded as "little wisdom" at best. To understand the wonders of heaven and earth, and to understand the Tao of heaven and earth, we need to deduce, understand and even perceive it carefully.

With this small leap in the power of the heart and soul, Chen Mu clearly felt that the mysterious Tao Yun that permeated the world became clearer in his eyes and easier to reach.

"With my current level of mind and soul, even if there is no further improvement, based on my current level, if I practice in seclusion for thousands of years, I will probably be able to slowly raise the Dao Yun to the top of the Golden Core Realm."

Chen Mu murmured.

Nine is the ultimate.

The limit of the Tao Yun and the number of evolved Tao marks that Jindan Zhenren can possess is nine paths. This is the pinnacle of Jindan Realm and the limit of Zhenren.

But in fact, there are very few real people who can truly cultivate Dao Marks to the Nine Paths, because the more Dao Marks there are, the more chaotic it will be, and the harder it will be to comprehend and control.

By condensing the golden elixir and breaking through the barrier between heaven and man, you will directly have a trace.

The next second and third paths are not difficult. Even if there is no chance or the 'True Words and True Dharma' obtained like Chen Mu, they can still be cultivated slowly through seclusion and enlightenment.

But the fourth path begins to become difficult, and many real people stop here, unable to cultivate the fourth path mark, and finally fall under the fourth path tribulation.

Therefore, there are not many real people who can survive four Dao tribulations and manifest Qingyun's vision.

It gets harder and harder the further you go up.

Even among those ancient real people who have lived for more than ten thousand years and survived ten Dao tribulations, few of them have truly condensed the nine Dao marks. They can survive ten Dao tribulations and survive for tens of thousands of years, relying on

Various other means.

Just like Zhenren Jingguang, although he only cultivated two Dao marks, but with the ancient Dao method, it was no problem to withstand four Dao tribulations.

After all, Dao Mark is only one part of strength, not all of strength.

Just like Chen Mu today, although he only has four Dao marks, with his incomparable strength of heart and soul, he can easily survive ten Dao tribulations or even more!

If he further cultivates the Dao Mark to seven or even eight paths, then the number of Dao tribulations he can survive will be even higher, even twenty times is not a problem.

And with Chen Mu's current state of mind and soul, his stronger perception of the world's Tao Yuan, and his clearer perspective, it is only a matter of time before he can cultivate the Nine Dao Marks and push the Golden Core Realm to the extreme.

certainly.

This will take a long time.

If you just practice in seclusion, it will probably take at least thousands or even ten thousand years to cultivate until you reach the nine Dao Marks. This is an extremely long time.

After all, a mortal's life span lasts only a hundred years, and it has only been seven hundred years since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty. Ten thousand years is a real vicissitude of life.

Gradually.

Chen Mu's mind and soul stabilized after his promotion.

If before, the mysteries of heaven and earth were perceived as hazy as seeing flowers in the mist, now it is as if all the dust has been wiped away and can be clearly seen.

However, this also brought Chen Mu some temporary discomfort, because it made him feel enlightened almost all the time, and the mysteries of Tao Yun poured into his mind continuously.

Obviously.

This is caused by the imbalance between the level of the mind and soul and the realm of cultivation. The level of the mind and soul is too far beyond the current realm of cultivation, so that even if he is thinking wildly, he will always have a steady stream of insights.

It was not obvious before the soul was raised to lv60. Now after crossing this level, there is indeed a gap between one's own realm and the level of the soul.

"Sure enough, it has turned out like this again."

Chen Mu shook his head.

Although he had practiced hard before, gradually improved his cultivation, condensed the golden elixir, and caught up with the level of the heart and soul, it didn't take long before the gap widened again.

But this is not a bad thing. He even wishes that his heart and soul can be improved a little more, preferably by level 30, so that his cultivation will improve faster.

Maybe if you stay in seclusion for tens or even hundreds of years, you can cultivate nine traces of Dao!

After gathering my thoughts.

Chen Mu called up the system interface again.

The effect of the Dao Shenghua still remains on his body now, and coupled with the extremely high level of the soul, it can be said that it is the best time to practice in seclusion. It will not take a few days to upgrade the fourth Dao Mark.

However, no matter how much he retreated, Chen Mu never delayed his daily journey to the underworld. This was his daily routine, and in his opinion, it was much more important than any other insights.

Swish.

With a thought, Chen Mu's heart and soul appeared in the netherworld again.

"This Netherworld and where I am are indeed very far apart..."

Chen Mu looked at the boundless grave soil and murmured in his heart.

Before, when he was wandering around in the netherworld, he was still a little confused. Although he could sense some subtle things, he could hardly see them clearly.

Now that the level of the mind and soul has improved again, although the perception is still extremely vague, I can barely perceive some changes.

For example, Netherworld and the world he lives in are separated by more than one layer of void!

Although the real person's cultivation and state are far from being able to truly shake the space, nor can he break the void, he can barely perceive the overlapping of the space.

for example……

The so-called spiritual world!

The spiritual world is not an upper space, but another world deeper than the real world. Everything there is weird and twisted. Desperate places like Jiuyi Mountain were created due to the erosion of the spiritual world.

However, although real people can vaguely detect the existence of the spiritual world, they cannot directly contact it, let alone enter it with their own abilities.

The only way to enter the spiritual world is to go deeper and deeper from those eroded places, and then it is possible to enter the spiritual world from there.

certainly.

No real person would do this because it is purely an act of seeking death.

The depths of an eroded place like Jiuyi Mountain poses a huge threat to real people, let alone the real spiritual world, which is not a world that real people can explore at all.

If the deeper layer of the present world is the weird and twisted spiritual world, then in Chen Mu's perception, the Netherworld is even further away and deeper than the present world!

But Chen Mu didn't think much about it.

He quickly gathered his thoughts.

No matter how deep the Netherworld is, at least he can explore it freely with the protection of the system, which is enough.

Chen Mu looked forward, and what he saw was a piece of dried blood flowing on the grave soil, and a grave mound not far from the blood stain.

On these graves, many lights lit up at this time.

Many figures can be seen emerging in the white fluorescence, and then they bow to Chen Mu one after another, and finally disappear one by one.

These are the dead souls who had an obsession with Zhenxue Zhenren. Now that the obsession has disappeared, they have begun to dissipate.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."

Chen Mu murmured.

These dead souls were all killed by Master Youxue, and their souls were extracted to refine their souls. Their resentful obsessions have persisted for thousands of years. Now, as Master Youxue was killed by him, they have finally dissipated one by one.

As for the remaining souls who have not dissipated, it is almost impossible to end their obsessions. They were all obsessions from thousands of years ago. Some could not let go of their daughters, and some could not let go of their first wives. But now, after thousands of years, everything has long since returned.

Dust can't even be found on graves.

soon.

Chen Mu converged his gaze, no longer looking at the remaining lingering obsessions, and instead stepped forward, flying deeper into the netherworld along the black blood trail.

With his current state, he can escape hundreds of miles away with a single thought, and can cross tens of thousands of miles in an instant, but in this seemingly endless tomb, a hundred thousand miles is very small.

There are still endless graves on the ground, and the dark brown blood stains still extend to the end of the sight, with no end in sight.

that's all.

I don't know how long I have been flying, but the white fluorescence on my body began to gradually dim.

"Looks like another day of nothing."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

He has long been used to this kind of thing. After all, when wandering around in the netherworld, most of the time he finds nothing. Sometimes he even encounters nothing for a month or two in a row.

But just when Chen Mu thought that this exploration would be in vain again, his eyes suddenly moved and he looked forward, and saw a continuous black shadow at the end of his sight.

"Huh?"

Chen Mu suddenly showed a little surprise.

He was very familiar with this situation. Those black shadows were all grave mounds, which meant that it was another place where many dead souls lingered and gathered.
