Da Xuan Martial Saint Chapter 1528 - 734: Integrating with the Rules

"This Eternal Ship was crafted by Friend Primordial, surely demanding a tremendous amount of labor."

Within the dazzling glow, Chen Mu steadily advanced along the extended bridge of light, mounting the Eternal Ship gradually. His eyes roamed over the full length of the vessel, and with a simple look, he discerned various elements of its design.

Outwardly, the Eternal Ship appears forged from two Primordial Marvels, yet once aboard, Chen Mu distinctly felt that far more than two such marvels had gone into its construction.

Or put differently,

The frame of the Eternal Ship was truly built around two Primordial Marvels as its foundation. But following its initial forging, the Primordial Palace Master tirelessly gathered additional Primordial Marvels, integrating them as parts of the Eternal Ship, much like a Formation woven in layers upon layers.

Composed from a multitude of Primordial Marvels, the Eternal Ship merges attacking and protective Formations along with palace-style voids, forming its own independent realm that fosters a distinctive heaven and earth inside.

"Assembled gradually across the endless turns of Reincarnation."

As Chen Mu offered his admiration, the Primordial Palace Master let out a sigh while shaking his head, "Though this vessel holds certain strengths, in the end, it remains merely an outer tool. I aimed to uncover the road to Transcendence via it, yet even now, that insight eludes me."

Chen Mu gave a faint nod.

At the level of the Primordial Palace Master’s cultivation, the Primordial Treasure he shaped himself carried his intent and the direction he chased; this Eternal Ship truly mirrored his pursuit.

The Primordial Palace Master planned to break down the Primordial Power piece by piece through layering, delving into diverse intricate combinations of the three Origin Daos, like erecting a towering structure level by level, aspiring to rise toward the heavens and brush against the highest Star Dome.

The Divine Spirits roaming the Universe follow a comparable Immortal Road, building up progressively until attaining Divine Monarch status, then striving for the Dao Venerable way. While this approach of steady buildup and firm groundwork holds no flaw, it proves inadequate once the threshold of Transcendence arrives.

Chen Mu possessed unshakeable conviction in his chosen route and complete reliance on the guidance from the system panel.

Building on that base,

He examined the Primordial Palace Master’s approach, drawing fresh insights that reinforced his personal beliefs.

Across vast ages and countless cosmic revolutions, the Primordial Palace Master’s groundwork defied understanding. This Creation Vessel housed a wealth of intricate Dao fusion techniques, harboring endless varieties of Primordial Powers.

Nevertheless, such vast reserves held no value against Transcendence, as Chen Mu detected zero hint of ’Transcendence’ in the Creation Vessel. Regardless of the Primordial Power it amassed, it stayed confined within the limits of a Dao Venerable, failing to ascend to the Transcendence Realm.

Evidently,

This only strengthened his convictions further.

Achieving Transcendence rendered accumulation pointless; no quantity of buildup could span the gap to that state. The Transcendence Realm defies imagination and grasp, embodying true infinity.

Striving to attain the infinite via limited gathering is plainly futile.

"The Transcendence Realm stands as infinite and limitless; in void lies no void, in being lies no being."

As Chen Mu ascended the Creation Vessel and drew near the Primordial Palace Master, he shook his head, "Seeking to grasp ’nothing’ using ’something,’ pursuing Transcendence via buildup -- the greater your holdings, the more distant you stray from the Dao."

His statement came directly, expressing his resolve and the route he embraced.

Upon attaining Supreme Venerable status, every individual’s path stood plainly revealed, requiring no spoken words. Chen Mu had no call to ’argue,’ and the Primordial Palace Master grasped the direction Chen Mu pursued without explanation.

Indeed,

By this level, none hid their paths, for each route was singular and tailored to the person. Among those who reached Supreme Venerable, whose determination could be feeble?

No one doubted their path’s validity. Having advanced this far, none second-guessed their resolve or the trail they trod, nor would they shift their goals, instead gleaning lessons from fellow paths to mend and enhance their own flaws.

Listening to Chen Mu’s remarks, the Primordial Palace Master softly shook his head.

"Friend Chen speaks wisely. Transcendence truly marks the pinnacle, the ceaseless, the boundless... But absent the countless ways of existence, how might one even perceive the doorway to Transcendence?"

"A fish vaulting beyond the Dragon Gate to soar upward still requires a ’path’ to claim that rise."

"The profound secret of the Transcendence path conceals itself in the highest laws of cosmic revolutions. These supreme laws manifest through the perpetual cycles of Universes’ rise and fall. By probing the deepest genesis and demise of Universes, manifesting a flawless Universe, one shatters bonds, flees confinement, and naturally surmounts the barrier to Transcendence."

With those words shared, the Primordial Palace Master lightly flicked his sleeve.

Instantly,

A brilliant splendor erupted from the Eternal Ship.

Via that brilliance, one beheld, enclosed inside the Eternal Ship, a breathtakingly immense Universe. This Universe loomed so immense and broad, surpassing in power and flawlessness anything Chen Mu had witnessed earlier, nearly rivaling the Star Dome Universe born from supreme laws.
