Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1272: 618: Over a Thousand Years

Chapter 1272: Chapter 618: Over a Thousand Years

Due to the deterrence of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch still present, no one was willing to make a move before figuring out the means of that strike, as no one wanted to expose their identity in front of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch.

And after Chen Mu annihilated numerous abyssal lives with a flick of his finger, the dark sky tide deliberately guided by Shang Mang Demon Monarch finally began to gradually subside. Although the subsequent waves of abyssal life continued to emerge, including those at the Sixth Layer Heaven Peak, they were all exterminated by Hong Lin, who had freed her hands, with Chen Mu striking at opportune times.

Soon.

As time passed, the abyssal life emerging from the Dark Sky Abyss gradually decreased.

This also signified that this dark sky tide was finally nearing its end.

Eventually, as fewer and fewer abyssal lives emerged from the Dark Sky Abyss, until after several months, none appeared anymore, Hong Lin, along with Wing King, Hong Ming Realm Master, and others, gathered together again.

This gathering was no longer to combat the dark sky tide, but to distribute the gains from this dark sky tide.

Everyone gained from killing abyssal lives, and even Wing King, Hong Ming Realm Master, and others gained something. Whatever they obtained individually from killing abyssal lives did not need to be redistributed. What was worth redistributing was some mysterious objects and resources acquired when everyone jointly killed many abyssal lives.

“Ladies and gentlemen, in this collaboration, we obtained a total of thirteen portions of mysterious objects and resources, roughly equivalent to three hundred thousand Fan Gu orders. According to the previous agreement, I and the Fan Gu Palace take nothing, all of it is for you to distribute…”

Hong Lin narrated, while glancing at Chen Mu, then continued, “According to the contribution of this battle, Realm Master Chen takes seven portions, and you all take three portions, does anyone have any objections?”

After hearing this, Wing King and others exchanged glances and quickly responded, having no objections.

Defending against the dark sky tide, the final gains naturally wouldn’t be distributed equally but based on strength and contribution. Obviously, the combined role of all of them together was far less significant than either Chen Mu or Hong Lin alone. Chen Mu taking seventy percent was seen as somewhat advantageous, with some even wondering if Chen Mu would agree.

If Hong Lin were to participate in this distribution, she would undoubtedly take a larger share in everyone’s eyes, and even together, they might only get ten percent. However, Hong Lin had already declared beforehand that she wouldn’t take any resource gains in this battle.

“I have no objections.”

Chen Mu nodded casually at Hong Lin’s distribution results.

In fact, outside of the resources distributed among everyone, he had individually killed many abyssal lives, acquiring numerous mysterious objects, totaling nine types. Even though some of these were quite common and low in value, others exceeded twenty thousand Fan Gu orders, adding up to a resource worth over a hundred thousand Fan Gu orders.

If it were before he had stepped into the Seventh Layer Heaven, or before obtaining the heritage of Jianmu Divine Monarch, he would have competed for every morsel of resources, but now he held the legacy of Jianmu Divine Monarch, which, even a tiny fraction, far exceeded the resources possessed by any Sixth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch.

Moreover, having now stepped into the Seventh Layer Heaven, finding mysterious resources is much easier for him than for others, and tens of thousands of Fan Gu orders aren’t worth his regard. Only treasures worth millions of Fan Gu orders could move him.

“Alright.”

Seeing Chen Mu had no objections, Hong Lin also felt relieved. She didn’t care if Wing King and others had opinions on the resource distribution, only whether Chen Mu was satisfied.

She didn’t distribute those mysterious resources physically, but directly drew Fan Gu orders from the Fan Gu Palace and distributed them to everyone. Wing King and others each received a share. Although each received only over ten thousand Fan Gu orders, it was still a substantial gain for them, bringing smiles to their faces.

After all, this dark sky tide lasted just a few boundary years, and to gain over ten thousand Fan Gu orders in mere boundary years without facing life-and-death crises, the returns were extraordinarily high.

Even for those like Molten Fire Realm Master, who received fewer Fan Gu orders, just over a thousand, it was still a pleasant surprise, making them all quite satisfied.

“Hong Lin, with this dark sky tide past, the Dark Sky Abyss should be stable for some time. I’ve gained quite a bit this time, so I’ll conclude my task of guarding the Dark Sky Abyss here.”

After the distribution of the gains, Chen Mu proactively said to Hong Lin.

The task of guarding the Dark Sky Abyss wasn’t highly restrictive; he currently didn’t need to observe the Dark Sky Abyss to comprehend anything. More importantly, he needed to fully cultivate the last layer of the Spirit Life Divine Method.

After mastering it, he would then comprehend the mysteries of the Void Lineage and the Time Lineage. These didn’t require observation of the Dark Sky Abyss, as he had various mysterious objects obtained from Jianmu Divine Monarch that encompassed all types of the Void and Time Lineages. Using those mysterious objects to comprehend different mysteries would undoubtedly be more efficient.

“Alright.”

Hong Lin wasn’t surprised to hear Chen Mu’s words, as Chen Mu had indeed reaped substantial gains this time, acquiring a total of 210,000 Fan Gu orders, which could already exchange for a significant amount of resources within the Fan Gu Palace.

After everyone distributed their resources, they quickly dispersed, some continuing to guard the Dark Sky Abyss, while others left for the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, with Chen Mu heading back as well.

…

Time passed by, and in a blink of an eye, over a thousand boundary years had gone by.

Da Xuan World.

At the end of the Heavens Vault, Chen Mu sat cross-legged, with a peculiar crystal floating in front of him—an actual Void Stone.

This Void Stone wasn’t the one he acquired from the Dark Sky Abyss, but one of Jianmu Divine Monarch’s legacies, a Void Stone infused with the ‘extension’ mysterious power.

In these thousand plus boundary years since the dark sky tide, Chen Mu’s True God main body had been deeply cultivating the Spirit Life Divine Method, while his Interface Avatar was using the diverse resources from Jianmu Divine Monarch’s legacy to comprehend the many mysteries of the Void Lineage.

Over a thousand years of time,

Though he dedicated most of his energy to cultivating the Spirit Life Divine Method, he had still managed to comprehend the Void Lineage mysteries ‘splitting’ and ‘aggregation,’ and was currently working on the third, ‘extension.’

For a Divine Monarch-level being, mastering three Origin Dao and fifteen Essential Mysteries is merely basic competency.

Why is it that those at the limit of the Sixth Layer Heaven possess power seemingly close to the threshold of the Seventh Layer Heaven, able to somewhat contend with it, yet still fall far short of truly comparing with a Divine Monarch?

This is because true Divine Monarchs never linger at the threshold of the Seventh Layer Heaven; their vision and realm are far higher, having comprehended all essential mysteries over long spans of time, with incredibly deep foundations and roots.

What those True Gods at the limit of the Sixth Layer Heaven can achieve, a Divine Monarch has all of that and more.

And now,

Chen Mu is gradually filling in these foundations, comprehending the mysteries of the Void Lineage one by one.

He sits cross-legged on the edge of the Da Xuan World, a hint of confusion in his eyes, occasionally reaching out with his fingers to trace in the nihil, instantly causing changes in the void. Layers upon layers of space are split apart, forming different realms, which then attempt to aggregate, and these aggregated spaces try to extend outward as if creating something from nothing.

But this extension ultimately did not succeed, causing only a slight distortion and ripple that soon faded away.

“Still lacking in some way, huh.”

The light in Chen Mu’s eyes regained some clarity as he observed the changes in the void, then he slightly shook his head and summoned the system panel.

[Extension]

[Experience: 6712 points]

On the system panel, among the Void Lineage’s mysteries, he had already comprehended Splitting and Aggregation. Now, for the third mystery of Extension, his experience had accumulated to over 6,700 points, not far from the 10,000 points required. Comprehension was just a matter of time.

Compared to ordinary Divine Monarchs, his comprehension of these essential mysteries is much faster. Ordinary Divine Monarchs might spend thousands or even tens of thousands of boundary years on one void mystery, but thanks to experience accumulation from the system panel, he only needs a few hundred boundary years, even when most of his focus is on cultivating the last layer of the Spirit Life Divine Method.

Just as Chen Mu’s interface avatar pondered over the system panel,

suddenly,

he paused slightly, then smiled.

He put away the Void Stone in his hand, then closed his eyes. At the same time, deep within the vast void, in a secluded corner, Chen Mu’s Divine Power true self was sitting with closed eyes, his eyes suddenly snapped open.

Chen Mu took a deep breath, sensing the changes in his body, then summoned the system panel once more with a thought.

This time, he wasn’t checking the progress of comprehending the mysteries of the Void Dao, but the cultivation progress of the Spirit Life Divine Method.

[Divine Power Refining Technique: Spirit Life Divine Method (Third Layer)]

[Experience: 100,000 points]

The experience points for the Spirit Life Divine Method had accumulated to a full 100,000 points!

The breakthrough from the Third Layer to the Fourth Layer, the final layer of the Spirit Life Divine Method, requires a total of 100,000 experience points. Over the past thousand boundary years, Chen Mu cultivated diligently without slacking, and finally today he had acquired enough experience!

“Finally…”

Looking at the system panel, Chen Mu exhaled a sigh of relief.

Once he comprehended the Mystical Fusion, he could master a Divine Monarch level Divine Power Refining Technique. This is a huge step for any being, and the same applies to him.

Though he had comprehended two fundamental mysteries of the Void Lineage over the millennia, this only slightly enhanced his foundation, almost insignificant at the Seventh Layer Heaven level. Only by mastering a Divine Monarch-level Divine Power Refining Technique can the amplification on his Divine Body be substantial, propelling his power to take a solid leap forward, stepping from the threshold of the Seventh Layer Heaven into the ranks of the strong within the Seventh Layer Heaven!

In the vast universe, the more layers of the broken void, the higher the realm, and the tougher it is to grow stronger. Each step is extraordinarily difficult. For those at the Divine Monarch level, most remain with ordinary Seventh Layer Heaven power, only a few reach the peak of the Seventh Layer Heaven, and fewer still can step further into the Eighth Layer Heaven.

Chen Mu is well aware of this, so he is careful not to overreach. Power must be increased step by step, first steadily entering the ranks of strong Seventh Layer Heaven, possessing the power of a typical Divine Monarch, and then set his sights on the peak of the Seventh Layer Heaven, or even the Eighth Layer Heaven.

“Let’s begin.”

With the experience points sufficiently accumulated, Chen Mu did not hesitate any longer, and with a thought, he chose to enhance on the system panel.

Boom!

In almost an instant, the mighty Creation Power surged like a tide, engulfing Chen Mu.

The torrent of Creation Power was enough to easily destroy a Great Realm.

But Chen Mu was now situated behind the six layers of the void. Here, the void was exceedingly dense, and even this surging Creation Power merely stirred small ripples in a minor range, insignificant to the whole Space Domain.

Whoosh!!

The vast Creation Power flowed, transforming into the two mystical forces of Life and All Spirits, which then merged in the nihility, forming a surging power that poured into Chen Mu’s body, incessantly refining every portion of Chen Mu’s divine power and every thread of his Life Seal.

Chen Mu could feel his Divine Body undergoing transformation and sublimation.
