Chapter 1035: Chapter 538: Sword Master’s Oath (Part 2)

"I observe that Elder Li has an aura of a Dharma Aspect, suggesting he has condensed a Dharma Realm, yet his qi is restrained. He must have cultivated a technique to hide his aura!" Sword Master Chen looked at Li Mu with a hint of interest, sizing him up as he spoke with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Sword Master. However, this is not the place to discuss such matters. Please, come inside the grand hall."

Li Mu smiled slightly, not responding directly. Instead, he bowed and gestured, leading Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen along with several elders from the Seven Profound Sect into the sect hall.

At the Seven Profound Sect’s grand ceremony hall, spirit lamps shone brightly, creating an atmosphere that was both solemn and warm. The table was adorned with various spirit fruits and aromatic spirit tea, evidently prepared for the distinguished guests.

After everyone took their seats, Li Mu gently waved his sleeve, and the hall’s doors slowly closed. With a casual gesture, he activated the array restriction, cutting off all potential external prying.

"To be honest with you both, during this recent secluded cultivation, everything went quite smoothly. I have successfully condensed a Refining Void Realm!" Li Mu smiled slightly, answering with a hint of unmistakable pride in his voice.

"Elder Li, are you on the Chaos Dao path?"

Sword Master Feng’s spirit soared, his eyes gleaming as he eagerly looked at Li Mu and asked urgently.

The transformation of the Sealing Array, the manifestation of the Power of Chaos, immediately reminded Sword Master Feng of Li Mu. Previously, he had painstakingly obtained clues to the seven sealed lands and successfully entered them. Moreover, Li Mu cultivated the ancient technique of the Five Elements, practicing both Yin and Yang, and had long prepared seven Divinity Transformation Avatars, waiting to condense a Dharma Realm.

Sword Master Feng had never quite approved of Li Mu’s cultivation technique and had advised him several times to practice different techniques. Now it seems his achievements far exceeded expectations.

"Elder Li, is the recent manifestation of the Power of Chaos related to your condensing of the Chaos Realm?" Sword Master Chen, unable to contain his curiosity, eagerly inquired, his eyes also flashing with curiosity and anticipation.

"Chaos Dao!"

The three elders of the Seven Profound Sect - Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, and Ge Xinyu - were utterly shocked, looking at Li Mu in disbelief. They couldn’t help but recall the grand moves made before the sect master went into seclusion and the subsequent changes in heaven and earth.

Seeing their reactions, Li Mu chuckled wryly, knowing that he couldn’t conceal it any longer.

"Indeed, it’s precisely the Chaos Dao." Li Mu replied solemnly, "I have successfully comprehended the Dharma Aspects of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, merging them through numerous hardships to finally condense a Chaos Realm, gaining an epiphany into the Power of Chaos, and integrating it into my cultivation of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, resulting in this Refining Void Realm. The recent manifestation of Chaos Power is indeed related to my newly formed realm."

Upon saying this, Li Mu gently raised his hand, with Chaos Qi seemingly swirling in his palm, yet it quickly returned to calm, as if it was just an illusion. He continued, "The Power of Chaos is the origin of all things. It is both the source of destruction and the foundation of creation. Although I have initially mastered it, I must continue cultivating to truly harness its power."

Hearing this, everyone felt a collective surge of energy, their eyes fixed intently on the elusive yet infinitely potential Chaos Qi in Li Mu’s palm, their hearts filled with an indescribable shock and excitement, rendering them speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere suddenly became extraordinarily silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

"Elder Li, you are truly a prodigy of divine talent! To condense a Chaos Realm is simply unfathomable!" After a long while, Sword Master Chen was the first to break the silence, unable to restrain his excitement as he looked at Li Mu and exclaimed.

"Indeed!" Sword Master Feng’s voice carried a hint of a barely perceptible tremor as he enthusiastically said, "Elder Li, your achievements are truly the greatest wonder of our cultivation realm of the millennium! The Power of Chaos has been the dream of countless cultivators throughout the ages, yet you have managed to integrate it into yourself and condense a Refining Void Realm. This is unprecedented and will likely never be repeated."

The three elders of the Seven Profound Sect, Qin Wentong, Zhong Zilin, and Ge Xinyu, were so excited they could hardly contain themselves. They stood up one after another, bowing to Li Mu with eyes full of admiration and reverence.

The Power of Chaos!

That is indeed the supreme Dao Principle. If Li Mu can continue down this path, he will surely become a Daoist Ancestor.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, all around ascend to heaven. Forming such a deep bond with a world-class genius like Li Mu is a great fortune not only for the Seven Profound Sect but also for them personally.

"You flatter me, sword masters. The Chaos Realm is unlike other Dao Principles and lacks precedents to follow. This path may be treacherously steep and filled with unknowns. To advance another great realm is as challenging as ascending to heaven!" Li Mu humbly responded, a look of worry appearing on his face.

Upon hearing this, Sword Masters Feng and Chen exchanged glances, dismissive of Li Mu’s worries. Instead, they were quite delighted, pondering the deeper implications.

With one Daoist Monarch fallen and another absent for a long time, the strength of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect had waned, making it crucial for a new generation of powerhouses to rise and restore the sect’s glory. Li Mu’s achievements are undoubtedly a powerful stimulant for the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

In the Refining Void Realm, the strength and various means Li Mu showcased could contend with Integration powerhouses of a higher realm, surpassing them in certain aspects. Now, having condensed the Chaos Realm, his battle power has soared several times. If he can achieve Integration, with his abilities, he would be more than a match for Mahayana Daoist Monarchs.

Moreover, not only is Li Mu formidable in combat, he is also skilled in artifact refining and array formation, being multitalented. If these skills could be combined with the Power of Chaos, his potential would be immeasurable.
