Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1203: Chapter 587: Settling Down (Part 2)

For instance, if one gathers resources or rare items not suitable for themselves, they can be sold or traded in the Fan Gu Palace, or resources can even be used to exchange for various Divine Power Secret Techniques in the Fan Gu Palace.

An organization such as this happens to be exactly what Chen Mu needs right now.

Leaving aside other matters, just the Divine Power Secret Techniques alone are something he currently has a strong need for. Although he already possesses the Spirit Life Divine Method, this secret method essentially only involves the branches of life and All Spirits.

Any Divine Monarch Level figure, able to become a Divine Monarch, has achieved fusion of the Essential Mysterious Mystical Essence, but aside from the Mystical Essence they have fused with, they have surely mastered all the other Mystical Essences, and likely have also practiced corresponding Divine Power Secret Techniques.

Furthermore, according to Chen Mu’s current understanding, although the Spirit Life Divine Method is a Divine Monarch Secret Method, it only involves the fusion of two types of Mystical Essence. More powerful Divine Power Secret Techniques might even fuse three or four kinds of Mystical Essence!

Even though Chen Mu has already seen the path to becoming a Divine Monarch, he still needs more directions.

"Thank you for the Divine Monarch’s kindness, I am willing to join."

Chen Mu promptly responded.

"Good."

The Fan Gu Divine Monarch smiled faintly and said, "Then separate a Divine Power Avatar and head to the Fan Gu Realm."

After speaking,

he turned around, and his figure instantly vanished into the Nihility beyond the boundary.

The departure of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch was so clean and swift, which startled Chen Mu slightly, but he soon breathed a small sigh of relief. Although it was confirmed this time that the Fan Gu Divine Monarch bore no malice, facing such a powerful Divine Monarch Level figure, it was unavoidable to feel some internal tension, unable to fully relax.

After all, the Divine Monarch of the Demon Clan previously displayed means that could destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth, and a mighty Demon Monarch like that was clearly destroyed by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch with just one encounter!

In comparison to the current Da Xuan World, including himself now, whether it’s the Fan Gu Divine Monarch or the Demon Monarch of the Demon Clan, both are entities he cannot compete against, able to destroy a realm with a flick of the fingers!

Moreover,

for an existence like the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, if there were a will to kill him, even if his Divine Power True Body had already moved away from the Da Xuan World, hiding in some place deep in the Fan Gu Space Domain, the opponent could undoubtedly follow the Causality Network and annihilate his Divine Power True Body!

He had no doubt that the previous overwhelming demonic finger, pressing down from the Void, could have utterly obliterated him!

"Demon Clan..."

Chen Mu gazed coldly into the depths of the Void.

The attack on the Da Xuan World by the Ming Ghost Demon General and multiple Demon Clan God Realm beings was tolerable, but in the end, even a Divine Monarch Level figure of the Demon Clan shamelessly took action, crossing domains. This debt, he would naturally remember deeply.

Presently he does not yet have the ability to confront the Demon Clan, but fortunately, with the shelter of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, he has temporarily obtained a chance to catch his breath, and he must hasten his cultivation pace.

Even though he is still very far from becoming a Divine Monarch, at the very least he must reach a point where even a Divine Monarch finds it difficult to kill him easily!

To achieve this,

it requires relying solely on his own strength, achieving the shattering of the Sixth Layer Heaven without the aid of a Divine Weapon!

Once this level is reached, although the disparity with a Divine Monarch is still extremely vast, a Seventh Layer Heaven Divine Monarch would find it difficult to annihilate all avatars and incarnations with just one move from afar.

After all, the power that can be transmitted through either the Causality Network or the Time Network is minimal, often just a hundredth to a thousandth.

Like the terrifying might of the previous Divine Monarch finger from the Shattering Void, which could easily wipe out his Interface Avatar and the entire Da Xuan World, but if his Divine Power True Body’s strength could achieve the shattering of the Sixth Layer Heaven, then the extremely small amount of power communicated across a great distance via Causality would find it difficult to threaten him.

Exhale.

Finally, Chen Mu took a light breath, stepping silently back into the Da Xuan Realm.

...

Meanwhile,

in some part of the Fan Gu Space Domain, beyond the boundary wall of a Middle Realm.

The Divine Power True Body of Chen Mu, seated with eyes closed in the Nihility, abruptly opened his eyes, gazing into the depths of the Fan Gu Space Domain, revealing a pondering expression.

"Fan Gu Palace..."

To join the Fan Gu Palace, one needs to make a trip to the Fan Gu Realm.

This naturally leads to the question, as the Fan Gu Divine Monarch hadn’t given him the specific coordinates of the Fan Gu Realm.

So, where is the Fan Gu Realm?

But Chen Mu soon shook his head and chuckled at the question.

The Fan Gu Realm, reportedly opened up by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch within the Nihility, is the foremost Great Realm of the Fan Gu Space Domain. It wouldn’t be difficult to locate, being most likely in the central area of the Fan Gu Space Domain.

After a brief consideration, Chen Mu still raised his right hand and lightly flicked it.

Buzz!

A streak of ethereal light flew out from his fingertips.

He separated a small amount of divine power, constructing a Divine Power Avatar in the nearby nihility. Though this avatar was not strong, barely reaching the threshold of the Second Layer Heaven, it was sufficient for traversing the void.

Swoosh.

Chen Mu maneuvered the Divine Power Avatar to swiftly depart, while his Divine Power True Body continued to sit in meditation, casting his gaze once more upon that Middle Realm, studying the life changes of the subterranean species.

...

Da Xuan World.

Heavenly Palace.

Outside the palace shrouded in ethereal mist, Xu Hongyu stood there, gazing up at the Heavens Vault, with a hint of worry between her eyebrows.

Even though she could not see the situation in the Da Xuan World, she knew that the current Da Xuan World was facing the final magical catastrophe. If it could survive this tribulation, there would be peace ahead, or at least no significant danger for a while. However, if it could not, the Da Xuan World would be utterly lost, and no one would be spared.

It’s unknown how long this lasted.

A figure quietly appeared nearby.

Upon seeing this figure, Xu Hongyu’s ever-worried brow finally relaxed slightly. She knew Chen Mu’s presence here meant that the magical catastrophe was likely over and that both Chen Mu and this place were unharmed, indicating the disaster might have passed.

"How is the situation?"

"It’s over."

Chen Mu nodded gently at Xu Hongyu, "The Demon Clan should not come again for a while."

Xu Hongyu also let out a slight breath of relief, saying, "In that case, at last, there is some peace."

Throughout the years she had lived, Xu Hongyu spent most of her life in turmoil. After Chen Mu rose to prominence and quelled the chaotic times, they faced the tribulation of outer demonic disasters. It seemed as though one peril would end, only for another to arise.

Now, Chen Mu has ascended to the God Realm, becoming the Master of One Realm, and the Demon Clan has retreated, bringing everything to a conclusion at last.

"I hope we can enjoy a period of peace."

Chen Mu walked beside Xu Hongyu, his gaze sweeping into the distance.

The crisis in the Da Xuan World was now considered completely over, but the matters Chen Mu had to deal with could not yet cease. At the very least, everything had to wait until he shattered the Seventh Layer Heaven and ascended to the Divine Monarch Level before he could claim a place in the Endless Void.

Yet what lay ahead was an extended journey.

Even with a system panel, cultivating in the God Realm was not a task of a day; it required the expenditure of countless years to gradually accumulate. The level he had reached meant that a sudden insight or a period of seclusion could mean hundreds of years passing in the Da Xuan World.

"What is the situation outside our world?"

Xu Hongyu gently asked Chen Mu.

Chen Mu’s gaze looked toward the horizon, seeing through the Heavens Vault to the outside, where he noticed that the Void Tide outside the boundary was still ongoing, albeit showing subtle signs of receding.

"The Void Tide has begun to weaken, but complete calm should take another ten to twenty years."

Chen Mu said.

"Mm."

Xu Hongyu nodded lightly.

...

With the retreat of the Demon Clan.

The magical catastrophe in the Da Xuan World finally drew to a close, and the Blood Exchange of the Seven Profound Sect, the Grandmasters, began to traverse the world. This news quickly spread to every corner of Da Xuan.

Xunmu was relocated by Chen Mu into the interior of the Da Xuan World, taking root in the barren lands of the Extreme West.

The extreme ends of the Da Xuan World, such as the Extreme North Ice Plain and the barren lands of the Extreme West, are near the world’s edge, causing a mixture of the Power of Heaven and Earth, resulting in desolation that stifles the birth of life. But with Xunmu taking root, the Extreme West Wilderness soon burst with vitality, transforming sand into lush greenery.

Moreover, the areas covered by Xunmu’s canopy naturally attracted the Heaven and Earth’s Yuan Qi, resulting in the migration of some living beings.

Chen Mu also discovered the proper use of Xunmu: to nourish living beings and stabilize the world. With Xunmu’s roots, even the Extreme West of Da Xuan World began to expand into the void slowly. Though the pace was not rapid, it was a tangible enhancement of the world itself.

Over twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Void Tide outside the Da Xuan Realm completely calmed.

During this time, the Da Xuan World was no longer harassed by the Demon Clan; neither Demon Generals nor Demon Lords appeared again.

At this time,

Chen Mu’s Divine Power Avatar finally crossed the vast void, quietly arriving at the Fan Gu Realm in the Central Region of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.
