Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1328: 644: Molten Fire City

Chapter 1328: Chapter 644: Molten Fire City

A crimson molten lava cave, within an extremely vast mountain cavern.

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch appeared as an ordinary elderly man, with white hair and beard, holding a simple bamboo staff. He stepped from a distance and upon reaching the mountain cavern, he looked at Chen Mu within and said with a smile:

“Young friend Chen, I never expected our meeting to come so soon.”

Chen Mu and he have always communicated within the Fan Gu Palace through their avatars, but the meeting he referred to was not of avatars, but of their Divine Power True Bodies. It could be said that this was truly his first meeting with Chen Mu.

Back when he expelled the Shang Mang Demon Monarch and rescued the Da Xuan World, he judged that with Chen Mu’s talent, he would undoubtedly become a Divine Monarch in the future. However, at that time, his Divine Power True Body had fallen into the Abyss of Eternity, with no idea of when he could escape, and he never thought Chen Mu would converge with his Divine Power True Body.

Originally, he thought if some of his disciples could become Divine Monarchs, later Chen Mu could achieve the same, thus slightly strengthening the forces of the Fan Gu Space Domain, alleviating some of his pressures.

But events always unfold beyond expectations.

The speed of Chen Mu’s cultivation was so fast that it shocked him immensely. In the beginning, he even pondered how to nurture Chen Mu, not directly gifting him with extraordinary resources beneficial to cultivation, considering for Chen Mu to build strength for a future breakthrough to Divine Monarch. Unexpectedly, Chen Mu achieved becoming a Divine Monarch without his assistance.

After becoming a Divine Monarch, Chen Mu’s cultivation progress was still astonishingly fast. In just a few tens of thousands of Boundary Years, he reached the threshold of the Eighth Layer Heaven, even causing him to suspect whether Chen Mu was truly the reincarnation of a Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch.

However,

even reaching that point, he never thought he would converge with Chen Mu within the Abyss of Eternity.

Chen Mu was jointly pursued by the Demon Ancestor and Ming Fan Divine Monarch, finally falling into the Abyss of Eternity along with them, leaving the Fan Gu Divine Monarch utterly shocked. It seemed like some destined causality that the area Chen Mu fell into happened to be the Molten Lava Cave!

“The path of cultivation, though distinct, ultimately leads to the same destination. Both Fan Gu Senior and I walk this road, so naturally, there will be a day when we converge.”

Upon hearing Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s words, Chen Mu also gestured towards him.

“Well said.”

Hearing this, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch couldn’t help but smile, sighing, “The Great Dao, though varied in its paths, ultimately converges. Even though the Vast Universe is boundless, as long as one continues on this Immortal Road, they will meet at the summit.”

Chen Mu also nodded slightly.

With different realms, comes different levels, and naturally different perspectives. When he first stepped out of the Da Xuan World and entered the Fan Gu Space Domain, he only felt the vastness of the space domain and the boundlessness of the universe, filled with endless unknowns.

But now, having achieved Divine Monarch, ascending to the Eighth Layer Heaven, his gaze has already set upon the Ninth Layer Heavens, and even the Great Dao Venerable at the peak of the universe. This road, as long as he follows it to the end, will ultimately converge at the center of the Vast Universe.

“Come, let’s go to the Molten Fire City of the Flame Sun Association. Although the molten lava cave is not excessively dangerous, with your capabilities, you can avoid most of them as long as you’re cautious. But being alone still poses many inconveniences ultimately.”

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch did not dilly-dally much with Chen Mu. After all, their avatars within the Fan Gu Palace had been discussing many details about the molten lava cave and the Abyss of Eternity for some time.

“Alright.”

Chen Mu responded simply and followed the Fan Gu Divine Monarch.

This time, he had already experienced the inconveniences within the molten lava cave, constantly needing to remain vigilant, unable to relax even a little. After all, no one knew whether an Abyss Beast might be lurking behind the rock layers.

Though with his strength, a Seventh Layer Heaven Abyss Beast posed no threat to him, and an Eighth Layer Heaven one required a certain number to be a real threat, uncertainty remained about when a beast may appear, or their quantity and level, hence the constant vigilance. Although the regions of the molten lava cave labelled as ‘shallow layers’ are relatively stable, it’s still only relative.

Numerous sudden appearances of Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts is also quite normal.

Swoosh.

With the Fan Gu Divine Monarch as a companion, the journey became much smoother.

Chen Mu finally witnessed the strength of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, an Eighth Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch Dominator. Though facing immense pressure from various forces within the Fan Gu Space Domain, his Divine Power True Body roamed freely in the molten lava cave.

Occasionally, encountering some Eighth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts blocking the way, where Chen Mu would have retreated when acting alone to avoid confrontation as much as possible, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch would forcefully drive them away before continuing.

The Eighth Layer Heaven threshold and the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak indeed possess quite a gap.

At least within the molten lava cave, a Fan Gu Divine Monarch at the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, even alone, rarely encounters situations that pose a danger to him. Even encountering a Ninth Layer Heavens Abyss Beast, he is confident enough to escape.

Very soon.

With the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, Chen Mu arrived at the interior of a very peculiar rock cavern.

This rock cavern was incredibly vast, stretching for thousands of miles, resembling a peculiar cylinder. Above was a dark abyss, while below there was also a dark abyss, both bottomless!

“This is the passage within the molten lava cave to different layers, which you probably haven’t seen in person yet.”
