Chapter 1429: Chapter 687: Comprehension

“Damn Black Rock Association.”

Guanglie Divine Monarch’s face looked extremely grim.

Clashing with the Black Rock Association resulted in the loss of two exotic beast corpses, which naturally left everyone in the Wind Association quite dissatisfied. After all, it was meant to be a bountiful hunt, and now with the loss of two, their gains had significantly diminished.

“There’s no way around it, the momentum is stronger than us.”

Someone shook their head and sighed.

The overall strength of the Black Rock Association was ultimately three times greater than that of the Wind Association. If a battle truly broke out, the losses would be unacceptable. Although handing over two exotic beast corpses made everyone secretly resentful, it was still within their bottom line.

“No worries.”

The Wind Divine Monarch slowly spoke at this time, “With Brother Chen’s joining, our Wind Association’s future gains will only increase, attracting more people to join. Once we grow stronger, we will no longer fear the Black Rock Association.”

The difference in overall strength was threefold, which naturally required some concessions. However, if the Wind Association could have forty to fifty Divine Monarchs at the Nine Layer Heavens Perfection, with thirty to forty people on each hunt, the gap with the Black Rock Association would greatly narrow.

As long as the overall strength gap wasn’t too large, there would be no need for excessive concessions. The Black Rock Association would also be cautious, weighing the cost of waging war against the Wind Association, and would not forcefully act.

“Black Rock Association…”

Chen Mu was walking at the back of the team, silently mulling over the name.

With three Double Vein Perfection experts, it indeed surpassed the Wind Association by a lot. Even if he went all out, he could at most hold off one Double Vein Perfection expert. Being plundered meant having to endure for the moment.

Very soon,

the group returned to Wuxiang City without encountering any incidents along the way.

Accompanied by the Wind Divine Monarch, they arrived at Ji Chang’an’s shop and began to take out the exotic beast corpses one by one.

“Brother Chen, we haven’t met for a while, and already you have substantial gains, congratulations.”

Ji Chang’an smiled and greeted Chen Mu.

When Chen Mu took out the corpse of the Triangular Rhino Beast, Ji Chang’an’s eyes instantly brightened. He immediately approached to examine it closely, exclaiming with admiration, “Excellent material, excellent material, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such high-quality material, excellent, excellent, just this one is worth five hundred source stones.”

Upon hearing Ji Chang’an’s words, Guanglie Divine Monarch and the others all revealed expressions of joy.

An ordinary exotic beast corpse was worth fifty source stones at most, but the corpse of this Triangular Rhino Beast was worth five hundred source stones, essentially multiplying the value tenfold. Even considering the two corpses taken by the Black Rock Association, this trip still amounted to a huge success, and the Wind Divine Monarch’s previously suppressed mood relaxed significantly.

Very soon,

after Ji Chang’an finished tallying, he handed over the source stones to the Wind Divine Monarch.

The total was seven hundred source stones.

A group of people followed the Wind Divine Monarch, making their way back to the courtyard where the Wind Association resided.

“This trip’s gains totaled seven hundred source stones. According to our prior agreement, I will take thirty percent, which is two hundred ten… Hmm, since this time the Black Rock Association plundered our resources, I also bear responsibility, so I will only take two hundred. Brother Chen gets ten percent, which is seventy source stones, and the remaining four hundred thirty will be divided among you.”

The Wind Divine Monarch quickly distributed the obtained source stones one by one.

Chen Mu also received a total of seventy source stones, seeing the appearance of source stones for the first time. It was a round and bead-like stone with a rainbow sheen, only about fingertip size, and when examined closely, it contained extremely intricate patterns with a faintly visible strand of rainbow-like origin power.

“Brother Chen, there are a few empty rooms in the backyard. You can choose any one of them.”

The Wind Divine Monarch called out to Chen Mu.

“All right.”

Chen Mu nodded slightly, not being overly polite. He directly stepped into the backyard, chose one from several empty rooms, and then walked inside.

The interior of the room was empty, merely a pure silent chamber, which Chen Mu was quite satisfied with. He waved his hand to release a wisp of Void Force, simply setting up a Void barrier in the room before taking out the divided source stones one by one.

“Source stones, containing origin power, I wonder where they come from.”

Chen Mu carefully examined the source stones in his hand.

If these were said to be naturally mined, they didn’t seem much like it, yet if they were man-made refined, it was also peculiar. After all, the source power contained within was something that even the most powerful Divine Monarchs couldn’t create.

Perhaps only a Dao Venerable could refine such source stones.

But thinking carefully, the City Lord of Wuxiang City, since he could keep the entire Wuxiang City in check, preventing any of the visiting Divine Monarchs from acting recklessly and ensuring they all adhere to the rules of the city, having a Venerable level of strength wouldn’t be surprising.

In the universe, to possess Venerable-level strength, one must attain the status of a Dao Venerable. But in the Source Realm, where the environment is extremely unique, getting bestowed with the Origin Dao, and wielding a certain rule power, may indeed allow one to possess a Venerable level of strength.

Simply put,

it all comes down to the evolution of the Dao.

Chen Mu had also briefly exchanged views with the Wind Divine Monarch earlier, learning from him that all the external Divine Monarchs greatly feared the City Lord of Wuxiang City. If one violated the city’s rules, they would indeed be punished without an escape.

Many speculated that this City Lord of Wuxiang City was an innate living being created by the Origin Dao at the birth of the city, wielding certain rules, comparable to a Dao Venerable.

Such beings that naturally stand at the pinnacle aren’t uncommon. In normal worlds, innate life forms are born, and the Source Realm is no different. They thrive by their nature, yet they also falter by their nature, as they mostly lack the potential for further transformation. When universe silence occurs and the Source Realm returns to the void, these life forms, birthed by the rules, naturally fall into silent annihilation.
