Chen Village, within the Rune Research Institute, Biological Zone.
In a separate room, Chen Mu sat inside a semi-transparent container filled with a dark green liquid.
Runes emanated a faint glow from his body, and countless intricate patterns linked these runes together, covering his entire body and making him appear mysterious and powerful.
"Spirit and body in perfect harmony, life and nature intertwined, absorb!"
Chen Mu formed hand seals, allowing the runes within his body to resonate and absorb spiritual substances from the outside world.
His body was like a black hole, drawing in the dark green liquid from the outside, which eventually gathered deep in his lower abdomen, in his dantian.
Since cultivating the Runic Body, Chen Mu's body has gradually become different from ordinary people. After continuous experimentation and improvement, it has finally become what it is now.
After more than two years, he finally succeeded in integrating the Soul Power in his sea of consciousness into the Spiritual Power in his dantian, thus upgrading it into a brand new energy, which he named Dharma Power.
The characteristics of Dharma Power are very similar to those of Spiritual Power, and the current cultivation method also follows the Spiritual Power cultivation system. It took Chen Mu more than a year to replace all the Spiritual Power in his dantian with Dharma Power.
Although Dharma Power is similar to Spiritual Power, its energy level is a level higher than that of Spiritual Power. Therefore, the amount of energy in his body is one or two minor realms higher than that of cultivators of the same realm.
In addition, Dharma Power is more stable than Spiritual Power and is easier to control. It can more easily achieve effects similar to ' Mass-Energy Conversion ', so Dharma Power power is more powerful when used with talismans, and can even have some more magical applications.
"Legend has it that the divine arts used by gods with their Divine Power can create things out of thin air, and if used for destruction, they can probably attack the atomic and molecular level of objects with ease."
My Dharma Power is probably not as great as Divine Power of a god, but if I were to use my Dharma Power to cast divine spells, I wonder how effective it would be? It should at least be stronger than casting divine spells with Spiritual Power, right?
As Chen Mu delved deeper into the energy system, he even attempted to analyze the power of deities. However, the only one by his side who was close to the Divine Spirit Realm was the White Turtle, but the White Turtle was completely uncooperative with his experiments, and he was helpless.
At this moment, he had absorbed the entire vat of medicinal liquid into his body, and the runic light on his body gradually faded, returning him to his normal appearance.
Because of the special nature of his Runic Body, Chen Mu could enhance his cultivation by absorbing medicinal liquids similar to Fu Mo, with effects far greater than absorbing Spirit Stone.
Therefore, his Dharma Power cultivation has also progressed by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and he has now stabilized at the Peak of the True Spirit Realm.
His next goal is to break through to the Core Formation Realm.
The so-called Core Formation Realm is the process of refining liquid into pills, condensing the liquid Spiritual Power within the body into a solid, and ultimately creating a spiritual pill.
The elixir is formed from the essence of Spiritual Power, like the king of Spiritual Power. Therefore, after obtaining the elixir, the human body can borrow a portion of the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth from the outside world, and obtain magical powers such as flying through the air and summoning wind and rain.
With the elixir, cultivators no longer need to actively absorb external Spiritual Power; the Spiritual Power will continuously transform their bodies. Therefore, cultivators who break through to the Core Formation Realm can live at least three hundred years, while some with profound cultivation can even live for thousands of years.
Breaking through from the Peak of the True Spirit Realm to the Core Formation Realm is a major hurdle. Many exceptionally talented geniuses find it difficult to break through to the Core Formation Realm in their entire lives, which is why the " Earth Ranking " exists.
Therefore, Chen Mu was not in a hurry to break through, and instead focused on increasing the strength of his internal Dharma Power.
Outside the door, Chen Xuejun saw that the light displaying the words "Do Not Disturb" on the door had gone out, so he quickly knocked on the door.
"Master!"
Chen Mu had already dressed. Hearing Chen Xuejun's voice outside, he sat down in a chair.
"Come in."
With a creak, the door opened, and Chen Xuejun walked in, bowing to Chen Mu.
"Master, news has come from the Eight Directions Trading Company that there will be an auction in Kuiming City the day after tomorrow, where a water-based creation artifact, the Water of Supreme Yin, will be on display. Do you think we should send someone over?"
Chen Mu's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, but it quickly fell back down.
Although he made a lot of money through arms dealing, the development of Chen Village was a bottomless pit, and he spent almost all of his earnings on Chen Village's military equipment.
He had some knowledge of the spiritual object Water of Supreme Yin. Although it was not as good as the Nine Netherworlds Nether Soil, it was only slightly inferior. If it were auctioned, the price would probably not be less than a thousand fifth-grade Spirit Stone.
He doesn't have much liquid cash on hand right now, so he probably can't afford to buy it.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the water-based creation artifact is something he urgently needs right now, and he still wants to try and obtain it.
"No need to send anyone. I'll go there myself the day after tomorrow. Have Sailei prepare the admission tickets for me."
"Yes, Master."
After Chen Xuejun finished speaking, he turned and left.
Chen Mu sighed, picked up the water glass next to him and took a sip, then focused his gaze on the screen in front of him.
" Xiaozhi, how far have you progressed in deciphering the Fate Dao of Talismans?"
"Crack progress 32.21%."
The voice of a little boy came from the transducer on the screen.
Chen Mu nodded. He was already quite satisfied that he had managed to decipher so many of the Fate Law in three years.
Although deciphering the Fate Dao of Talismans becomes increasingly difficult as you progress, Chen Mu's current mastery of Fate Dao of Talismans allows him to utilize some of its power, such as adding luck runes to Rune Artifacts Fate Dao of Talismans enhance the user's luck.
The ancients said, "First is luck, second is fate, and third is feng shui." Luck is an elusive thing, yet it influences a person's life at every moment.
With a try-it-out mentality, Chen Mu added luck runes to the Rune Artifacts used by his close friends and family.
Although the performance of the Luck Rune was unstable, he could clearly feel that the talismanic Rune Artifacts blessed by the Luck Rune were more successful in their endeavors, which further strengthened his determination to continue studying the Fate Dao of Talismans.
Just as Chen Mu was seriously studying the Fate Dao of Talismans, a majestic voice suddenly came from outside Chen Village.
"Where is the leader of Chen Village? Come out and greet us at once!"
The sound was extremely penetrating, and in a moment it entered the inner city of Chen Village, echoing above the city.
Although Chen Village's defensive array was powerful, it did not block harmless sounds, so even Chen Mu, who was in the room, could hear the sound clearly.
"Such powerful sound control techniques; I guess I'll have to go out and check it out."
Chen Mu opened the window in the room and jumped out.
"Wood element, Wind-Treading Talisman "
Chen Mu slightly changed his hand seals, and his entire body floated up, as if riding the wind, flying into the sky.
Although he has not yet broken through to the Core Formation Realm, he cannot control the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth and fly through the air like Core Formation Realm cultivator.
However, his Runic Body allows him to easily control the surrounding wind energy, and after his body merges with the surrounding air pressure, he can easily fly through the air.
After he flew into the air, he immediately saw an old man in a red robe standing above Chen Village.
