Ascending to the Nine Heavens!

"Was it over?"

Chen Mu awoke from his deep enlightenment and summoned the System Panel for a glance.

After two epochs of all-out contemplation, the effects of the Void Essence Stone had finally been completely exhausted. The sensation of being immersed in the Void Dao, of merging with the Dao and becoming part of the void itself, had vanished entirely.

As the Divine Lord overlord of the Void Lineage, he could naturally merge himself into the void as well. Yet that union was far inferior to the seamless oneness he had felt while devouring and absorbing the Void Essence Stone. Back then, it had seemed that he was not merging with the superficial void, but with the innermost essence of the void itself. With every gesture, he could touch the foundation of the Great Dao.

At this moment,

all enlightenment receded.

Although he could still perceive the Void Dao, ninety-nine percent of that immersion had abruptly disappeared, naturally leaving Chen Mu with a sense of loss.

"What a pity. If I had another Void Essence Stone, I might be able to comprehend the Four Mysteries Fusion within two epochs."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat regretful.

Yet, looking at the experience he had accumulated on the System Panel, he was already quite satisfied. After all, the cultivation gains from these two epochs had nearly spared him the bitter labor of dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of epochs. It had also pushed him greatly forward upon the path to the Nine Heavens. The gap was no longer far away.

Even using the slowest method, gradually contemplating the void, he could gather ten million experience points within several dozen epochs and use the System Panel to directly observe the essence of the Great Dao, completing the Void Lineage's Four Mysteries Fusion.
