Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1116: Chapter 549: Source River

Da Xuan World.

Seven Profound Sect, Rear Mountain.

Not all Celestial Masters went to the Source Land; there are still Celestial beings who have never gone, including Chen Mu’s master, Qin Mengjun.

At this moment, Qin Mengjun stood alone in front of the numerous Blood Exchange beings, gazing at the map left by Chen Mu, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes dazed, sometimes sighing.

Thus,

Who knows how much time passed, Qin Mengjun gradually regained her composure and sighed deeply, speaking to herself, "His current realm is indeed difficult to fathom."

Many years ago, Chen Mu had apprenticed under her, and now just a map drawn by Chen Mu can guide her in her cultivation, allowing her to cross the Celestial barrier!

Now, after achieving Celestial mastery, she could feel the profound realm of Chen Mu through the map, making one gaze upon it with admiration.

"I wonder how they are doing."

After regaining her composure, Qin Mengjun turned and left the rear mountain valley, stepping outside, basking in the bright sunlight, casting her gaze towards the southwest.

Chen Mu and others went to the Source Land, and now nearly two months have passed. No one has returned yet, leaving one to wonder about Chen Mu’s gains in the Source Land and if he is safe.

...

"Roar..."

The two Ninth Rank Mutant Beasts saw Chen Mu escape, both letting out an angry roar, then pursuing in his direction, but their speed was far inferior to Chen Mu’s, losing track of him after a chase.

Once Chen Mu’s presence completely vanished from their sensing range, the two beasts let out low growls, gradually stopping, glancing around for a while before quickly dispersing.

Swish.

Chen Mu’s form blended into nothingness, heading towards the center of the Source Land.

In the state of melding with the Void, it is usually difficult for ordinary individuals to sense him through the Void; however, the depths of the Source Land, where these Divine Under Ninth Rank Mutant Beasts reside, if too close, they still possess the capability to detect him.

Needless to say, Void Exotic Beasts themselves can sense the fluctuations in the Void, and Creation Beasts can sense the essence of life, yet these two types of beasts simply cannot catch up to him.

The Time Dao Exotic Beast, which surpasses him in speed, has relatively weak sensory capabilities, allowing him to often detect its presence first and circumvent it without alerting the other.

Thus.

In the Source Land Core Area, where the Divine Under Ninth Rank Mutant Beasts are stationed everywhere, Chen Mu also proceeded calmly and deeply, occasionally disturbing one or two Ninth Rank Mutant Beasts, yet swiftly disengaging.

After thus advancing tens of thousands of miles, a white line finally emerged in Chen Mu’s vision!

This was a white line linking heaven and earth, appearing at the horizon of sight, as if the entire world were a canvas, painted from top to bottom with a white brush.

"That is..."

Chen Mu cast a distant glance, feeling an ancient and grand aura.

Source River!

Despite only a distant glance, separated by a great distance, despite it being the first time seeing, when his gaze met that white line penetrating heaven and earth, the term arose in Chen Mu’s heart.

Chen Mu briefly paused, slightly feeling that ancient and profound aura, then continued forward. After advancing nearly another ten thousand miles, the white line penetrating heaven and earth in his view gradually enlarged, gradually opened up.

Source River.

This is not a river flowing from high to low, but a Source River penetrating the Source Land!

As Chen Mu gradually approached, he felt a boundless and magnificent aura standing between heaven and earth, and in the turbulent flowing waters of the river, every drop contained the three Origin Powers of Void, Time, and Creation!

This Source River descended from the Heavens Vault, seeming to be the root of all existence in the Source Land, the initial source of the entire Fan Gu Ancient Domain’s birth. This majestic aura made Chen Mu, after so many years, once again feel a sense of insignificance, as if he were still a mortal gazing up at the high mountain of the Heavens Vault.

"Such power..."

Chen Mu, watching the Source River, felt a sense of awe.

What a grand power this is!

In this Source River, every drop entangles the powers of Void, Time, and even Creation. Every drop seems capable of opening up a miniature Cave Heaven World, an infinite number of Cave Heaven Worlds flowing within!

Although now he has entered the Dao of all three Origin Powers and obtained certain acknowledgement from the Great Origin Dao, capable of wielding these three Origin Powers, compared to this Source River, his power is still minuscule. If he were to fall into this Source River, trying to stir any ripple would likely be extremely difficult!

Even,

Chen Mu has a feeling.

Let alone himself, even truly existing in the God Realm, should they withstand the impact of this river water, they would instantly crumble. Even the vast Da Xuan World, encountering the flow of this river, would be shattered in an instant, directly collapsing!

"Source River, Source River, the origin of countless worlds throughout the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, such supreme power is a cosmic wonder, compared to it, even the God Realm remains insignificant..."

Chen Mu, recovering from the shock, murmured softly.

He quickly took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and continued to walk forward.

As he got closer to the Source River, he gradually felt an invisible pressure on his body. The surrounding void gradually became viscous, like a quagmire—the deeper he went, the harder it was to move forward.

After walking a bit further, the pressure became so intense that even Chen Mu could not remain unaffected. As he prepared to enter a state of nothingness to resist it, he suddenly had an epiphany and immediately took out the primordial crystal marked with his life imprint.

Buzz!

The moment the primordial crystal appeared in his hand, it immediately emitted a brilliant radiance. The dazzling glow spread out, covering an area about ten feet around him, enveloping Chen Mu completely.

Under the cover of this light, Chen Mu finally felt the pressure on his body greatly reduced.

"Just as I thought."

Chen Mu breathed a light sigh of relief.

He was still some distance from the Source River. If at this point he had to resort to states like nothingness to resist, then even if he exerted all his strength, he might not be able to approach the riverbank. How would he then throw the primordial crystal into it?

It must be known that now he had entered the Dao with three Great Daos of Origin, reaching the pinnacle below the divine realm, unable to advance further. If even at this level it was difficult to approach the Source River, then perhaps no one could imprint their life mark within it.

Evidently, the primordial crystal was the key to approaching the Source River. It seemed to be a part of the river itself, transformed from its waters. Therefore, once it spread its light, it could resist the pressure of this area.

Chen Mu also felt that perhaps only by solidifying a complete primordial crystal would it have this effect.

Thus, holding the primordial crystal in one hand, Chen Mu continued to step forward. After advancing a bit further, he finally arrived near the Source River. Looking down from there, he witnessed a scene that was awe-inspiring.

He saw,

not only did this Source River traverse the earth, but it also pierced through the void!

Chen Mu saw that river, after running through the earth, narrowed into a white line at its end, penetrating the void. The void appeared shattered but in a peculiar way, like nine strange petals.

Understanding the Void Entering Dao, Chen Mu knew very well that these were not ’petals’ but an effect produced by the shattering of the void itself. Each petal represented a layer of the void!

Nine petals converging into a lotus, meaning that here, nine layers of the void had burst open!

"Nine Layer Heavens..."

Chen Mu gazed at the deepest part of the earth, at the Source River condensed into a white line, and the shattered nine-petal lotus. For a while, he was somewhat stunned.

He understood that each shattered layer of the void corresponded to one layer of the heavens.

The end of this Source River, penetrating nine layers of the void, meant the mighty energy reached the Nine Layer Heavens!

The ninefold divine realm!

This was the pinnacle that could be achieved in the divine realm. Although Chen Mu knew from Xunmu that above the Nine Layer Heavens, there were Origin Venerables who overlooked the Endless Void, the Nine Layer Heavens were undoubtedly the true overlord of the Endless Void.

Ruling over the entire Fan Gu Ancient Domain, overlooking thousands of Great Realms and countless small realms, that Fan Gu Divine Monarch was only at the Eighth Layer Heaven in the divine realm, yet his power was enough to cause the Demon Clan to fear him.

Nine Layer Heavens?

That would definitely be a supreme existence able to dominate the Endless Void.

If he had the strength to break through the Nine Layer Heavens, how could the Demon Clan dare to invade Da Xuan World, dare to act recklessly in front of him? They would likely retreat far away immediately, fearing to anger him, bringing great trouble to the entire Demon Realm.

Chen Mu fixed his gaze on that white line penetrating through the Nine Layer Heavens. He saw the Origin Power of void, time, and creation all twisted into a single line there, entirely entwined, with the supreme force of the entire Source River unbelievably condensed into one point.

This kind of power was beyond Chen Mu’s comprehension.

He ultimately shook his head, refocused his gaze, and looked at the primordial crystal in his hand.

The road must be walked step by step, the steps taken slowly; he rose from humble beginnings, relying on his own efforts to reach where he was today, never aiming too high. He knew that what lay before him was to step into the divine realm, the first step on the Immortal Road.

His accumulation was deep enough, and now he was about to complete the life seal, gaining an extra opportunity for original infusion. Even once he stepped into the divine realm, he would by no means be considered weak.

Buzz.

The light emanating from the primordial crystal began to tremble slightly,

as if it were nearing its limit.

Chen Mu glanced at the primordial crystal in his hand and without further delay, suddenly threw the primordial crystal towards the Source River, while quickly retreating, moving far away from the Source River.

Whoosh!

The moment the primordial crystal left his hand, the light that enveloped Chen Mu began to dim rapidly. However, his retreat was swift, and in the blink of an eye, he had retreated hundreds of miles. Before the light completely faded, he had moved to a region where he could calmly withstand the pressure of the Source River, and then he slowly continued to step back.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after being thrown by Chen Mu, the primordial crystal flew through the air in a long arc, like a meteor streaking across the sky, releasing brilliant light, finally falling into the Source River that ran through the heavens and earth.

Sizzle.

The radiance gathered, and silently, everything vanished without a trace, leaving only the Source River still running through the void, hanging between heaven and earth.
