Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1286 - 624: The Approaching Storm (Part 2)
Chapter 1286: Chapter 624: The Approaching Storm (Part 2)
Although Chen Mu also hopes that Chen Yue can enter the God Realm with deeper foundations, not everyone possesses the talent like him. Even if he personally guides Chen Yue on various Origin Daos, he still cannot lead her to enter Dao.
After all, not everyone can cultivate the Origin Entering Dao before stepping into the God Realm.
“Obscure and incomprehensible.”
Chen Yue’s gaze was still fixed on the final Mystical Map of the Time Dao. Hearing Chen Mu’s words, she couldn’t help but shake her head. The Time Lineage was indeed not her strong suit, even though she had now stepped into the God Realm. Trying to comprehend the essential mysteries of the Time Lineage was still like seeing through a fog. After all, she had never cultivated the Time Lineage to the Entering Dao level.
Chen Mu glanced at the others, who were mostly also at a loss. In his heart, he felt it was understandable because, to him, the Time Lineage was also the most difficult to comprehend.
After leaving behind the Mystical Map for everyone to comprehend, Chen Mu quietly left his original spot. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared among another misty mountain range, standing on a rock, looking out into the distance with his hands behind his back, overlooking the world.
At this moment,
footsteps approached from behind. Xu Hongyu, dressed in simple attire and holding a tea cup, quietly walked up behind Chen Mu, pouring a cup of Spiritual Tea for him and softly asked:
“How are things recently?”
“Still very tense.”
Chen Mu took the tea cup, tasting a sip while speaking slowly.
After reaching the Divine Monarch level, he hid fewer things from Xu Hongyu. Unless he was in deep seclusion, he often chatted with her, explaining some of the situations faced in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.
Although Chen Mu’s Divine Power True Body was in deep comprehension and cultivation in the depths of the Fan Gu Palace, he was still very well aware of many matters in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, including the increasing conflict between the Fan Gu Ancient Domain and the Ancestral Demon Space Domain.
There are many adjacent Secret Realms between the Fan Gu Ancient Domain and the Ancestral Demon Space Domain, each producing various resources. In the past, the Fan Gu Ancient Domain and the Ancestral Demon Space Domain coexisted relatively peacefully, each taking their share with little conflict. But since the Dark Sky Tide, the resource battles in these Secret Realms have gradually intensified.
Not only are the Secret Realms adjacent to the Ancestral Demon Space Domain affected.
Even the Secret Realms adjacent to other Space Domains are experiencing increasing conflicts. In the past, all forces were somewhat deterred by the prestige of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, often conceding a bit in the resource disputes. But now, they’ve gradually changed their strategies.
Even though no Divine Monarch-level existence has made a move yet, the border conflicts are becoming more intense, and the various forces increasingly disregard the fame of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, which is an undeniable fact.
Evidently,
in the absence of certainty about the true situation of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, no Divine Monarch-level existence would act rashly. However, they have no qualms about driving the True Gods below the Divine Monarch level to actively seize resources, as resource disputes are commonplace in the vast Space Domains.
Even if the rumors are false and the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s True Body is unharmed, it doesn’t matter. At most, they would just return the seized resources to the Fan Gu Ancient Domain. But if the Fan Gu Divine Monarch truly has issues, then gradually taking over is the most prudent plan.
“Do you think the Fan Gu Divine Monarch is really in trouble?”
After pondering for a while, Xu Hongyu softly asked Chen Mu, a hint of concern in her eyes.
Long ago, with Chen Mu’s help, she stepped into the God Realm. Although she had hardly ever left the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, she was no ordinary person now. Plus, as more God Realm beings emerged in the Xuan World, although her strength wasn’t significant, her status was special. Coupled with Chen Mu being open with her, she knew a lot about the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.
Now, the news that the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s True Body is in trouble has even officially begun to circulate in the Space Domains. Although it’s unclear where the rumors originated, she sees it as likely further probing by Outer Domain forces.
If the rumors are false, naturally all is well—a fully capable Eighth Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch Dominator is not someone any force would want to provoke. But if the rumors are true… then the situation for the Fan Gu Ancient Domain indeed looks grim.
“I also don’t know.”
Hearing Xu Hongyu’s words, Chen Mu slightly shook his head.
Whether the Fan Gu Divine Monarch is truly in trouble is something he cannot clearly determine either. And given the current situation, it’s not suitable to personally inquire with the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, because even knowing the answer wouldn’t change the current circumstances.
Moreover, based on Chen Mu’s guesses and judgment, he tends to believe the Fan Gu Divine Monarch truly is in trouble. However, even an Eighth Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch Dominator, in the face of immense trouble, has many means and would not be utterly defenseless.
This is one reason why, so far, no major actions have been taken by the various forces.
As they say, a centipede dies but never falls down, and the Fan Gu Divine Monarch is not dead. The worst would be the demise of his Divine Power True Body.
An Overlord-level existence like the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, even if his Divine Power True Body perished, would still have multiple Seventh Layer Battle Power Avatars. Along with his unpredictable means and deep foundations, he still instills a certain degree of fear in any force.
Seeing the worry in Xu Hongyu’s eyes, Chen Mu put down the tea cup in his hand and softly said, “Madam, there’s no need to worry too much. Although a storm is indeed inevitable, I now have at least some capacity for self-preservation.”
Having comprehended three Origin Daos and fifteen essential mysteries, Chen Mu had also mastered several corresponding Divine Power Secret Techniques, further enhancing his Divine Power strength. Coupled with having fully understood both the Void Mysterious and Time Mysterious, he made further progress in mastering the power of these two Daos. Currently, his strength had essentially reached the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak!
At the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak, there are strong and weak ones; strong ones can reach the limit of the Seventh Layer Heaven, infinitely close to the Eighth Layer Heaven threshold, while weak ones merely step into this realm. Although Chen Mu had just entered, he achieved this level purely with his own strength!
If he had an Upper Divine Weapon in hand, he would be a formidable presence among the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak.
In the vast and boundless Space Domains, the strength he currently possesses may not be much, but it indeed grants him some degree of self-preservation. Just like the fall of the Jianmu Divine Monarch, which was due to a plotted ambush, chase, and eventual fatal pursuit.
A Seventh Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch existence, by taking measures to isolate causality and hide, is almost impossible to find.
However,
Chen Mu does not want to endlessly hide, not to live a life fleeing and hiding under the pursuit of the Demon Clan and great enemies like the Jianmu Divine Monarch. He wishes to stand safely amidst the tides, immovable.
Therefore, merely achieving the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak is still far from sufficient. Only by stepping into the Eighth Layer Heaven, becoming a true Divine Monarch Dominator, can he intimidate all sides and prevent any force from daring to easily become an enemy.
“I do not doubt your abilities, husband, but it would be better if this storm could be postponed a bit.”
Xu Hongyu’s eyes shone as she looked at Chen Mu.
Having witnessed Chen Mu’s rise from obscurity to having a significant presence in the entire Fan Gu Ancient Domain, she knew that his talent and brilliance were unparalleled. But she also realized that Chen Mu needed more time to grow.
Compared to those powerful existences that have risen and fallen over countless billions of years, Chen Mu’s rise has been too short. People may see his extraordinary talent and genius, but they don’t realize that he never had a moment’s rest after ascending to the God Realm; he was constantly cultivating.
“There’s always a way when the car gets to the mountain.”
Chen Mu, with his demeanor still serene, shifted his gaze toward the distant world. He saw the flourishing scene of the Heavenly Palace Realm today and the thriving Da Xuan World. Although the endless cycle of life and death was visible in the vast Universe, as this was the place of his rise and birth, he didn’t want the ever-intensifying storm to affect the Fan Gu Ancient Domain. This was his world, and it was the only home he cared about in the vast Universe.
