Chen Mu, who had cultivated the Void Dao to the level of entering Dao and announced that he would preach in seven days, did not imdiately start cultivating the Dao of Ti and Creation. Instead, he accompanied Xu Hongyu and Xiao He in Yu State for a walk over the few days, and today, he brought Chen Yao along, retracing the path he once took to climb Yunni Sky Peak.
"Look, this is the place."
Chen Mu held Chen Yao’s small hand, step by step climbing the peak, even though it was not the ideal ti for climbing Yunni Sky Peak. However, the Strength of Qian Heaven was docile as a sheep before Chen Mu, and the cold climate, which could freeze ordinary people completely into ice, did not affect them in the slightest.
"Back then, it was here that I fought against the prodigies of the Eleven State generation of the Cold North Path and ascended to the top of Yunni Sky Peak. At that ti, although I had so reputation in Yu County, in the entire Yu State, in the vast Cold North, I was still insignificant until after that day, I began to erge."
"Ten years later, it will be you coming alone to this Yunni Sky Peak, relying on your own abilities to climb to the peak."
Chen Mu stepped over the stone steps in the mountains, pointed to the top of Yunni Sky Peak, and gently spoke to Chen Yao beside him, his eyes revealing a hint of nostalgia.
Traveling through Yu State with Chen Yao and retracing old paths was not just for accompanying her; it also served the purpose of calming his own emotions. Although his State of Mind was high enough and his Soul Heart Level was high enough, the previous comprehension of Void Dao ultimately trapped him in that nihility for thousands of years.
Such a long passage of ti, though only at the level of consciousness, inevitably had so impact on him, giving him a sense of detachnt from this world, and from his closest family like Xu Hongyu and Chen Yao.
Chen Mu understood in his heart; this was unavoidable.
If Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, Xiao He, and the others cannot step into the God Realm, one day they will return to dust and leave this world, while he will embark on the Immortal Road to the God Realm, with a thousand years and ten thousand years passing in the blink of an eye.
This ti, it was rely his consciousness experiencing thousands of years of comprehension in the Void Dao, but if he truly lived through thousands and tens of thousands of years, all old friends would perish in the ti, so prolonged that even traces of existence would be completely erased. At that ti, he wouldn’t know how his State of Mind would change. He doesn’t wish to forget everything from the past, for everything to beco an insignificant dot in his heart. What he desires is an everlasting and unchanging State of Mind.
But that is too difficult.
Even a peaceful and unwavering State of Mind cannot avoid changes with the passage of ti.
Chen Mu can’t help but recall that dead silent Void.
If the Void represents the Endless Universe, the ultimate destination of all things, leading to dead silence, what does Ti represent if not the witness to this Azure Sky Universe’s transformational process?
All things originate from the Void and return to silence in the Void. Everything born in between is Creation, and Ti is the witness.
Although comprehending the Ti Dao was originally one of his goals, now, Chen Mu craves its power all the more, hoping to find answers from the Ti Origin Dao.
"..."
Chen Yao quietly stood beside Chen Mu. Seeing Chen Mu standing motionless and lost in thought, she refrained from disturbing him, only blinking at the summit of Yunni Sky Peak ahead.
From everything she had heard in the past, she only knew how unparalleled Chen Mu was, rising from the bottom step-by-step to achieve the title of a Martial Saint. But following Chen Mu all the way, walking through Chen Mu’s path to rise, being personally present, she could slightly appreciate the hardships Chen Mu had endured throughout the process, which was not easy at all.
"Let’s go, and let take you to see the Ice State."
Chen Mu quickly gathered his thoughts and spoke to Chen Yao.
"Alright."
Chen Yao nodded obediently.
She followed Chen Mu, stepping out from the cliff edge. With Chen Mu pulling her along, they gradually disappeared atop Yunni Sky Peak, and after they left, the footprints they left were soon covered by snow in the mountains, erasing all traces.
No one knows that the Martial Saint Chen Mu once brought a girl back to Yunni Sky Peak in Bi Prefecture.
