Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1089: Chapter 536: Exotic Beast

Just as Chen Mu was thoughtfully investigating the situation of the Source Land.

A vortex of gray air swirled in the void passage behind him, and another figure emerged from within. The person was wearing a deep purple gauzy dress, their exquisite jade-like body faintly visible, none other than the Hehuan Sect’s Sect Master Muqing Qiu, who had entered the Source Land together with him.

"Whew..."

As soon as Muqing Qiu landed, she staggered slightly and took a deep breath.

Due to the changes in circumstances, the pressure within the void passage was extremely intense. Chen Mu could withstand it with ease, but Muqing Qiu was subjected to considerable pressure. However, she was ultimately a Celestial Human existence, and quickly recovered.

Immediately, a strand of mysterious Artistic Conception rose from her body, her Soul Heart instantly merging with heaven and earth, deploying the technique of Unity of Heaven and Man, attempting to extend her range of perception as far outward as possible.

However.

Compared to Chen Mu, the range her Heavenly Human Interaction could perceive was pitifully small, only about a hundred zhang or so, almost the same as the range she could deploy her Domain in the Da Xuan World.

In the Source Land, a Domain can also be deployed, but the limitations are much greater. Even a Celestial Master covering a ten-zhang radius with a Domain is extremely difficult.

"How is it?"

Chen Mu looked at Muqing Qiu and asked.

Their agreement was quite simple; Chen Mu would assist Muqing Qiu once in finding the whereabouts of the Hehuan Sect’s former Sect Master in the Source Land. If Muqing Qiu couldn’t find any trace of the former Sect Master, Chen Mu wouldn’t accompany her any further in the Source Land’s peripheral areas. After all, his destination this time was the Source Land’s core.

The void passage connecting the Source Land and the Da Xuan World isn’t permanent. If they don’t return within the maintained time, they’ll risk being stranded in the Source Land.

For Chen Mu, though the environment in the Source Land is harsh, it doesn’t affect his survival, but he cannot remain here.

Muqing Qiu, having used Heavenly Human Interaction, frowned slightly and shook her head: "This place is different from the regions I’ve been to before. Let’s go a bit deeper and see if we can find any clues."

"Alright."

Chen Mu gave a concise reply and began walking into the mist.

Muqing Qiu immediately followed behind, trying her best to release her perception, searching for familiar traces.

She had entered the Great Wilderness several times and even found clues. She had, of course, made specific markings in the Great Wilderness. Once she finds a mark, she can determine her position.

However.

The Great Wilderness is ultimately very dangerous for her, so the markings she left are limited to a small range. Moreover, she mostly ends up in different regions each time she enters the Great Wilderness. Every time, she tries to find the markers she left before, but almost never succeeds, always in an unfamiliar environment.

Thus, she isn’t confident about finding the previous coordinates.

The only advantage of following Chen Mu in is that she doesn’t have to worry too much about the dangers and crises here. Chen Mu’s strength far surpasses hers by an unknown margin. After reaching the Celestial Human level, and conversing with other Celestials, everyone unanimously estimated Chen Mu’s strength as above the Divine Under Sixth Rank. The exact level is still unclear, but they know he’s far stronger than anyone in the world.

Muqing Qiu thus followed Chen Mu into the depths of the mist.

Chen Mu’s pace wasn’t fast, even deliberately slowing down. One reason was to let Muqing Qiu keep up; the other was his unfamiliarity with the Source Land. Despite being a relatively safe outer area, he acted with his usual caution.

While going deeper, Chen Mu also deeply contemplated the changes in the Source Land.

"This Source Land is extraordinary; comprehending the Origin Dao in such a place... no, comprehending any Heaven and Earth Laws here is likely more efficient than in the Da Xuan World, especially the Origin Dao."

Void, Time, Creation,

The mysteries of these three Origin Daos are more evident here than felt in the Da Xuan World. Undoubtedly, comprehending the Origin Dao here is at least twice as effective as in the Da Xuan World.

Take the Creation Dao, for example. If he wanted to comprehend it to the Entering Dao level in the Da Xuan World, he would need at least two or three decades of Experience, but in the Source Land, perhaps only seven or eight years would suffice, significantly reducing time!

Regrettably,

The Da Xuan World doesn’t have such an environmental setup, nor can he remain in the Source Land indefinitely.

The dual objectives of this journey were to imprint the Life Mark at the core of the Source Land and find a Creation Dao anomaly or Divine Weapon for Comprehension; both must be achieved.

In comparison, assisting Muqing Qiu in seeking the Hehuan Sect’s former Sect Master is just an auxiliary task.

Woosh!

Just as Chen Mu was meticulously investigating the Source Land’s situation, an unforeseen transformation occurred.

Suddenly, the mist within began churning, gathering into an intangible form, and from that distorted void, an Exotic Beast emerged. This beast appeared ethereal, but in the next moment, it materialized, covered in spiky fangs, the longest spike on its back immediately aimed at attacking Chen Mu.

What seemed a simple stab agitated the surrounding mist, causing Muqing Qiu, following behind Chen Mu, to change color slightly and instinctively exclaim:
