Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1202: Chapter 587: The Dust Settles

Da Xuan World.

The shadows of countless trees dissipated.

Chen Mu stood atop the heavens vault, gazing into the outer sky, seeing that from the depths of the nihility, layer upon layer of void split apart, and an elder in hemp clothing stepped forth from the nihility, making his way to the boundary of the Da Xuan World.

His gaze swept across the entire Da Xuan World, bypassing Xunmu who was rooted beyond the boundary, and finally focused on Chen Mu.

Swish.

Chen Mu did not hesitate much, his figure flickered, and he arrived at the edge of the Da Xuan World, saluting the elder in hemp clothing: "I am Chen Mu, greetings to the Divine Monarch, and thank you for your intervention."

Although he was unsure whether the elder in hemp clothing before him was indeed the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, it was unquestionably a divine monarch-level existence, and furthermore, had driven away the demon clan’s divine monarch.

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch glanced at Chen Mu, then smiled slightly and said: "This Fan Gu Ancient Domain is the place of my birth, so after attaining Dao, I returned here to rule this domain, naturally not allowing outer domain beings to act recklessly here."

Chen Mu listened respectfully at the side.

The elderly man in hemp before him was indeed the Fan Gu Divine Monarch.

"A realm of space, among the Three Thousand Great Realms, the small realms are as countless as the sands of the Ganges, difficult to estimate, yet despite this, a realm of space is but a drop in the vast sea within this endless universe."

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch looked at Chen Mu, smiling: "But even within this endless universe, with your talent and aptitude, you won’t fade into obscurity... would you be willing to join my Fan Gu Palace?"

At this moment, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch was also secretly sighing in his heart.

Given his realm, at such close proximity, the being before him was only an interface avatar of Chen Mu, yet he could vaguely discern that Chen Mu possessed an extraordinarily deep foundation, likely a perfect divine body that’s exceedingly rare even in the endless universe, built on the foundation of ten portions of divine power.

With such a foundation and talent, Chen Mu almost certainly has an extraordinarily high probability of achieving the divine monarch realm in the future. It’s worth noting that when he himself attained the God Realm, his foundation was merely nine portions of divine power, and he had never received a perfect divine body.

He was naturally willing to nurture such a person.

In fact, it might not even qualify as nurturing, but rather offering early support, since being born from the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, upon achieving the divine monarch realm in the future, he would at least serve as a reliable support.

In reality, the Fan Gu Ancient Domain is not particularly strong, it is solely due to his presence that it can command awe in all directions, unlike the demon clan governing another domain, which not only has an eighth-layer heaven divine monarch but more than one seventh-layer heaven as well.

Whereas, in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, besides him, there are no other divine monarchs.

In reality, the Fan Gu Ancient Domain had once birthed multiple divine monarchs, but due to many past events, some perished or fell, while others left the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, so presently there’s not a single one.

As a result, following many occurrences, he is the one who personally needs to step forward, as evidenced by today’s probing by the demon clan.

Moreover,

he actually faces a significant problem.

That is, the demon clan’s speculation is not wrong; his divine power true body, not long ago, indeed accidentally got trapped while exploring a perilous location deep in the void. Although there is no risk of falling, it’s temporarily unable to escape.

The being present here is merely one of his combat power avatars.

As a powerful divine monarch at the eighth-layer heaven peak, he indeed possesses more than one combat power avatar with a strength reaching the seventh-layer heaven, but to deter the demon clan and various factions, he had no choice but to employ a temporal artifact allowing this avatar to borrow a portion of power from the ’past’, presenting the eighth-layer heaven’s might, to directly drive away the Shang Mang Demon Monarch.

With this revelation of eighth-layer heaven power, both the demon clan and the forces coveting the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, at least for a while, would be temporarily restrained.

However, this situation ultimately cannot continue indefinitely.

The temporal artifact is a consumable, unable to endlessly borrow power from the past; the more it’s used, the faster it’s consumed, and eventually will be depleted.

If, after a period of time, his divine power true body still cannot break free, then he will inevitably face a significant problem.

If Chen Mu can achieve the divine monarch realm, when encountering situations in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, he could act in his place, allowing him to better conceal his circumstances.

However, these thoughts are merely fleeting notions, given that while Chen Mu’s aptitude is extremely high, with a profound foundation and an extraordinarily rare perfect divine body, achieving the divine monarch realm ultimately takes time.

At present, Chen Mu still cannot be of much help to him.

"With such humble abilities, how dare I accept the divine monarch’s praise, yet I’m curious, what is this Fan Gu Palace...?"

Chen Mu naturally was unaware of the many thoughts running through the Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s mind, and upon hearing the words "Fan Gu Ancient Domain", he first politely responded, then tentatively asked.

His understanding of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain was very limited, and Xunmu didn’t know much either. However, hearing the name, he could roughly guess that it should be a force established by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch.

"It’s a force under my command, where those at or above the fourth-layer heaven God Realm can join, responsible for many affairs across the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, and though there are many tasks, they are not stringently enforced..."

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch explained simply in a couple of sentences.

Chen Mu quickly understood the situation regarding the Fan Gu Palace. In reality, it was an organization gathering true gods above the fourth-layer heaven across the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, under the command of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, but the organization itself was not strictly restrictive, rather loose, functioning not as a ruling force over the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, but more like a platform for mutual communication.
