Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1146 - 563: The Road Ahead (Part 2)

Chapter 1146: Chapter 563: The Road Ahead (Part 2)

This is quite normal.

In the first three layers of the God Realm, the difference in strength between each layer is nearly three times as much.

However, starting from the Fourth Layer Heaven upwards, the gap between each layer becomes even greater, with a tenfold difference between the Fourth and Fifth Layer Heaven being quite normal. At this level, God Realm beings have more or less some means of self-preservation, among which the most common is undoubtedly the Externalized Body.

When living beings cultivate to the God Realm, they no longer possess a soul or body, and their life takes divine power as its foundation, with every basic unit of divine power containing a complete Life Seal.

In other words,

as long as one separates the most basic unit of divine power and refines it into an Externalized Body, or places it somewhere, then even if the original self completely falls, as long as any avatar survives, or if any Life Seal is not destroyed, it does not count as death, and one can slowly reforge a True Body over the long years.

For a God Realm at the Fourth Layer Heaven, even with a tenfold difference in strength from the Fifth Layer Heaven, it is still very difficult for a Fifth Layer Heaven being to completely wipe out a Fourth Layer Heaven God Realm, even the Sixth Layer Heaven finds it difficult.

As for below the Fourth Layer Heaven?

That is not possible.

Despite all God Realm beings have the ability to refine an Externalized Body, God Realm beings at the Third Layer Heaven either have a divine power foundation that is not strong enough or lack enough understanding of the Origin Dao.

Even if they have multiple Divine Power Avatars scattered in far-off locations, once confronted with those of the Fifth or Sixth Layer Heaven, they are often able to be exterminated directly from afar, eradicating all avatars and all Life Seals!

That is why a True God of the Fourth Layer Heaven can be considered strong in an area, capable of having a respected position and even sheltering a region’s race development!

After all.

Though True Gods of the Fifth and Sixth Layer can destroy the Divine Power True Body of a True God of the Fourth Layer Heaven, they find it very difficult to completely annihilate them, and often do not want to easily make mortal enemies with a Fourth Layer True God because even though they themselves aren’t afraid, if the other hides and targets their beloved disciples or groups in revenge, it’s hard to defend against.

“At present, I am quite far from the Fifth Layer Heaven.”

After Chen Mu roughly understood his strength level, he quickly calmed the rising joy after entering the God Realm.

Though he has now stepped into the Fourth Layer Heaven, gaining the ability for self-preservation and the capability to establish himself in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, that is essentially all he has.

In the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, there are several God Realm beings of the Fifth and even Sixth Layer Heaven much stronger than him.

Going further upwards,

there are also Divine Monarch-level figures of the Seventh Layer Heaven!

That is a completely different level, truly high above, capable of overlooking a realm and ruling numerous Great Realms.

If he were now a Divine Monarch of the Seventh Layer Heaven, he would truly have had the confidence to establish himself in the Endless Universe. If the Da Xuan World backed by a Divine Monarch, then even the powerful Demon Clan would not easily offend.

“Divine Monarch…”

Chen Mu muttered as he quickly recollected his thoughts and pondered how to enhance his strength.

Although he had previously conversed with Xunmu a lot, gaining much knowledge about the God Realm from Xunmu, and learned a lot through indirect clues from the mouths of living beings from various clans in the Source Land, but the majority was limited to the stage of breaking through from below the God Realm to the God Realm.

Regarding the God Realm, especially the world after the Fourth Layer Heaven, he currently wouldn’t say he knows nothing, but still knows very little.

Because above the God Realm there is no division of realms, only strength is used to determine level, and the factors affecting the strength of God Realm beings, according to his rough understanding, are nothing more than three main points.

Divine Weapons,

Secret Techniques,

and the Origin Dao!

Chen Mu has already personally experienced the aspect of Divine Weapons, with three Divine Weapons able to almost double his strength, which is a significant boost, yet the three Divine Weapons he possesses are mostly of the most common Low Grade.

He once briefly inquired Xunmu about Divine Weapons, and Xunmu once replied to him that Divine Weapons are roughly divided into three grades: Lower, Middle, and Upper, among which Lower Divine Weapons are the most common and widespread, with not much value, but Middle Divine Weapons are quite extraordinary, and many True Gods of the Fourth Layer Heaven may not own one.

As for Upper Divine Weapons, they are often possessed only by Divine Monarchs.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly surfaced in Chen Mu’s mind, that Xunmu, this giant tree living being, instead of being a strong God Realm, might be more like an intelligent Divine Weapon.

No, perhaps Xunmu’s essence indeed is a Divine Weapon, a Divine Weapon of the Creation Dao, just that this Divine Weapon’s nature is quite special, being a pillar for a Cave Heaven World by a Divine Monarch, and inherently possesses complete life wisdom.

Since Xunmu’s essence might be a Divine Weapon of the Creation Dao and possibly has reached the Middle Level, then could he potentially use this Divine Weapon?

It seems unlikely.

Xunmu’s nature is very special, even if its essence is truly a Divine Weapon of the Creation Dao, it’s fundamentally not of the offensive type, and forcibly wielding it might not be useful for attack and defense against enemies, having little meaning.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu shook his head and quickly dismissed the thought.

However.

With his current realm and strength, he indeed has the ability to wield Middle Divine Weapons. If he could get hold of one, it would probably greatly increase his strength, which counts as an external augmentation, yet he doesn’t know where to obtain one at the moment.

Apart from Divine Weapons, the other two points determining the strength of God Realm beings are Secret Techniques and the Origin Dao.

Chen Mu has heard a bit about such things as Secret Techniques.

He understood them from Xunmu, but since he hadn’t entered the God Realm at the time, Xunmu only briefly mentioned it without detailed explanation.

The so-called Secret Techniques should be fully referred to as ’Divine Power Secret Techniques’, which are special means for utilizing divine power.

When mortal beings step into the God Realm, their ’quantity’ of divine power is completely fixed, it will no longer change, but God Realm beings can use various means to enhance the ’quality’ of divine power, and this is what Divine Power Secret Techniques are.

Even with the same strength, varying levels of concentration naturally result in greatly different effectiveness.

Regarding Secret Techniques, Chen Mu doesn’t have any in hand, therefore he doesn’t have any direction for cultivation, and the system panel cannot provide cultivation methods out of thin air; this didn’t change even after entering the God Realm.

“Perhaps Xunmu would know some Divine Power Secret Techniques…”

Chen Mu thought of Xunmu again.

After all, Xunmu was a creation of a Divine Monarch and guarded a cave mansion; even if its own realm is quite ordinary, it might know one or two Secret Techniques.

Currently, he’s quite an acquaintance with Xunmu, and facing the threat of the Demon Clan, if Xunmu indeed knows some Divine Power Secret Techniques, he won’t hide them.

Chen Mu didn’t consider Secret Techniques for too long; his thoughts quickly moved to the final point.

The Origin Dao!

Compared to Secret Techniques, the Origin Dao is a more critical foundation, because many Secret Techniques and the Origin Dao complement each other; without deep understanding of the Origin Dao, many Secret Techniques cannot be practiced.

Earlier, when he hadn’t entered the God Realm, the Experience Points for the Origin Dao were locked at the Entering Dao level, unable to be further gained or improved.

But now…

With a thought, Chen Mu summoned the system panel.

He looked downwards, quickly seeing that the training sections regarding three kinds of Origin Dao at the bottom of the system panel had clearly changed.

[Origin Dao: Void (Entering Dao)]

[Experience: 113 points]

————————

[Origin Dao: Time (Entering Dao)]

[Experience: 29 points]

————————

[Origin Dao: Creation (Entering Dao)]

[Experience: 77 points]

The experience points initially locked at 0 are now starting to accumulate anew!
