Chapter 1,249 The Old Man from the Ancient Era
"Young man, with your cultivation, you can probably live for hundreds of years. Just accept your fate and chat with me here to relieve your boredom."
The old man looked dull.
With his cultivation and age, he has seen through everything, so naturally he won't care about anything.
"After being promoted to the human realm, you can live for three thousand years. Why can I only live for a few hundred years?"
Lin Mu said doubtfully.
"To live for three thousand years, that is when you can practice and use your true energy to maintain the vitality of your physical body. But in this Hongmeng space, you cannot absorb any energy at all, and your physical body will only become weaker and weaker. You can live for hundreds of years. Not bad.”
The old man shook his head and said.
"Senior, I can actually practice here."
Lin Mu hesitated for a while before telling the old man this fact.
Even if he concealed this secret, he wouldn't be able to conceal it for long. He couldn't stop practicing, otherwise the old man would find out sooner or later.
And tell the old man that although there are certain dangers, there are also opportunities. With the old man's age, he must be well-informed, and he may be able to come up with some ideas to break the seal.
"Young man, this joke is not funny."
The old man did not believe Lin Mu's words.
Lin Mu didn't say anything, just meditated on the spot and started practicing.
After a while, he discovered that the speed he was practicing here was surprisingly fast. Energy from all around was constantly pouring into his body, strengthening his power of chaos.
"Um?"
There was a huge fluctuation on the old man's face, and then he didn't move. His body suddenly appeared next to Lin Mu, and he put his dry fingers on Lin Mu's wrist.
Then, he returned to his original position again, facing Lin Mu with his empty eyes: "Body of Chaos, you actually have a body of Chaos?"
"Who are your parents or masters? Who are they willing to spend so much effort on you? Is it the leader? The original master? The demon master? The Buddha? The Lord of the Blood Sea? Or who?"
Apparently he thought that Lin Mu's Chaos was forged by other powerful people for Lin Mu.
"Master?"
This is the first time Lin Mu heard this name from other people, "Senior, do you know the leader?"
The name Ganzhu has always been mysterious to him, but he can never forget it. It was Ganzhu who sent people down to deal with his mother Shen Beijun, which caused his mother to escape and eventually sink into the sea of blood.
"Of course I know you, but you answer my questions first."
The old man said.
"My body of chaos was not condensed by others for me. It was condensed by myself after realizing the true meaning of chaos."
Lin Mu could only say.
"The true meaning of chaos!"
There was fire jumping out of the old man's eyes, and then he glanced at Lin Mu's body, "You are right, your chaotic body does not look like it was man-made, but more like it was born naturally."
"For more than 15 billion years, I didn't expect that I, Hou Shun, would actually be able to wait for this day, and I finally waited for this day."
After saying that, the fire in his eyes extinguished and his expression returned to calm: "Young man, it's incredible that you can understand the true meaning of chaos. I have to take back what I said before. You don't have to wait here to die."
"Senior, are you saying that I can break the seal of this Hongmeng Talisman?"
Lin Mu was slightly excited.
"Destroy the Hongmeng Talisman?"
The old man's tone seemed a little strange, "Young man, are you still dreaming? Even if you have the true meaning of chaos, you still want to break the Hongmeng Talisman with your cultivation level?"
"..."
Lin Mu was speechless, then said, "Senior Houshun, who is this Hongmeng?"
"Hongmeng, that is the master of all the lords, an innate power born in the chaos. The seal he casts cannot be broken even by the sect leaders."
The old man lamented, "Originally, in the prehistoric times, only the Nine-tailed Sky Fox could fight against him. Unfortunately, even the Nine-tailed Sky Fox was later forced by him to transform into the way of heaven to protect himself. In this world, There is no one else who can rival him, he can be called the true number one supreme being in the world.”
"The great innate power and the nine-tailed fox were born in the chaos, but they were forced by Hongmeng to transform into the way of heaven."
Lin Mu's heart skipped a beat. This kind of existence was beyond the scope of his understanding. At the same time, he wondered, "Since all the cult leaders can't break it, why do the ancestors of the Xia clan keep trying?"
"Because Hong Meng said on the day he sealed the Savage Bloodline that everything has a chance. When the opportunity comes, the Savage Bloodline will finally break the seal, so we, the descendants of the Xia Clan, will keep trying."
The old man said, "In the past few years, I have always thought that Hongmeng was an old liar, but today I realized that I really misunderstood him. The opportunity he was referring to was actually the true meaning of Chaos. It's a shame that this old liar didn't speak clearly, and let me, the Xia Clan, Hundreds of millions of descendants have lost their lives in vain."
"Hongmeng."
Lin Mu's heart was full of longing for this name.
Being the teacher of all the sect leaders, suppressing the Xia clan's bloodline at the drop of a hat, and influencing the fate of an ancient clan. Perhaps only such a being can not be influenced by others and can truly control one's own destiny.
Of course, he wouldn't show it on the surface. Hou Shun was scolding Hongmeng as an old liar, but he yearned for it in his heart. It was too immoral.
"Senior Houshun, since I can't break the Hongmeng Talisman, where does the opportunity you mentioned come from?"
Lin Mu then returned to the previous topic.
"Although you can't break the Hongmeng Talisman, you have mastered the true meaning of chaos and can try to refine it. When one day you refine it completely, the seal will naturally break."
Hou Shun said, "And you don't need to completely refine the Hongmeng Talisman. You only need to refine a little bit at will to get out of this ancient talisman. In the future, you only need to refine it during practice. This Hongmeng Talisman is actually a It is condensed from an innate Hongmeng Qi. If you refine it, it is the best practice, which is far more powerful than any spiritual stone you refine outside."
"What is Hongmeng Qi?"
Lin Mu said puzzledly.
"The Qi of Hongmeng is the only vitality in the chaos. Only Hongmeng can control it in the world, so it is named after Hongmeng."
Hou Shun said, "It is said that all the sect leaders in the prehistoric times received the energy of Hongmeng given by Hongmeng in order to achieve the supreme position. Therefore, absorbing this energy of Hongmeng is your great blessing."
"I see."
Lin Mu nodded and asked, "Then how do I refine it?
"Just practice like before. In the process of absorbing the energy of Hongmeng, you are refining the Hongmeng Talisman."
Hou Shun explained.
After that, Lin Mu sat down cross-legged and began to practice.
During his practice, a kind of energy that was like nothingness but existed constantly entered his body.
This energy cannot be sensed by the soul, nor can it be seen by the eyes of the sky. Only the body of chaos can absorb and sense it.
However, this process was much slower than Lin Mu imagined.
After about three days, he stopped.
"Why don't you continue?"
Hou Shun asked.
