Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1204: Chapter 588: Fan Gu Palace

In the boundless void.

An expansive and magnificent world unfolds in the void, outstripping the Da Xuan World by several thousand times. The overwhelming power of the world exudes a strong sense of oppression even from a distance.

This is the current largest Domain of the Fan Gu Space Domain,

The Fan Gu Realm!

In the distance, within the void beyond the Fan Gu Realm, the space ripples gently, followed by Chen Mu stepping out. He gazes towards the distant Fan Gu Realm, a deep glow flickering in his eyes.

"So this is the Fan Gu Realm..."

It is indeed far more colossal than the Da Xuan World. The world’s power is extraordinarily grand and vast; Chen Mu even feels that not even a being at the Divine Monarch Level would necessarily be able to destroy this world.

It is said that the Fan Gu Realm is not the ’Original World’ of the Fan Gu Space Domain, but was developed by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch. After countless years of growth under the rule of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, it has eventually become the largest Domain of the Fan Gu Space Domain.

The sheer size of the Fan Gu Realm before him alone surpasses the Da Xuan World by several thousand times.

Actually, given Chen Mu’s profound Realm, he can observe that the Fan Gu Realm possesses even more distinctive features: it does not simply consist of one layer but has multiple structures. The deeper structures are located on the reverse side of the void, with layers resembling true multi-level Heavenly Palaces.

"Impressive."

After a brief contemplation, Chen Mu can’t help but marvel inwardly.

Setting aside the size, the structure of the Fan Gu Realm is much more intricate than that of the Da Xuan World. Its three-layer structure seems to form three different interfaces. Under the operation of rules, beings residing in the surface world can cultivate to the utmost and ’ascend’ to the Second Layer, and similarly, the Second Layer allows ascension to the Third Layer, thus performing a layer-by-layer filtering.

Only the most outstanding beings can progress step by step from the First Layer to the Third Layer.

Chen Mu vaguely discerns some of the rule structures within. The boundary from the First Layer to the Second Layer is rather indistinct; it seems that reaching the level of a Grandmaster in the Da Xuan World might allow one to ascend, while the Third Layer requires reaching the God Realm!

As Chen Mu continues examining the structure of the Fan Gu Realm, faintly gaining insights into the ’Creation’ aspect of the Creation Dao.

Suddenly,

The Boundary Wall of the Fan Gu Realm ripples, and a figure steps out, heading towards Chen Mu’s direction.

It is a God Realm existence cloaked in a pitch-black robe, exuding a pervasive aura. The face exposed beneath the cloak, however, doesn’t much differ from the humans of the Da Xuan, portraying a youthful visage.

He arrives in the void, gazing distantly at Chen Mu, displaying a smile and saying, "Are you perhaps Chen Mu, Realm Master? I am Tai Chen, the Hall Master of the Fan Gu Palace. The Divine Monarch has instructed me to come and welcome you."

"Hall Master Tai Chen."

Chen Mu slightly salutes Tai Chen, saying, "I have come guided by the Divine Monarch’s instruction, thank you for the trouble."

"Come with me."

Tai Chen smiles, standing still. Once Chen Mu nears, he waves his hand slightly, instantly unleashing a force of rules that envelops Chen Mu, flickering briefly upon him.

Chen Mu allows the light to cover him, observing with clarity. The emanation resembles the rule acceptance light he once invoked in the Da Xuan World for Xunmu; it’s the rule light from the Fan Gu Realm.

Whoosh.

Upon Chen Mu, the light quickly condenses into a subtle point of light, resting on his brow.

In the next moment, Chen Mu immediately senses the awe-inspiring pressure from the Fan Gu Realm vanishing, indicating that this vast Domain has accepted him and no longer rebuffs him as an outsider.

Tai Chen gestures for Chen Mu to follow, and while leading the way, he briefly explains to Chen Mu: "The Fan Gu Realm consists of three layers, the Fan Gu Palace is located in the center of the Third Layer ’Divine Realm.’ For those joining the Fan Gu Palace, it is common for God Realm entities to allocate a Divine Power Avatar to reside long-term in the palace... In this Fan Gu Palace and Divine Realm, apart from a few Forbidden Lands where entry is restricted, all other areas are freely accessible. However, the two upper layers cannot be entered at will."

Tai Chen succinctly explains some rules for entering the Fan Gu Realm and the Fan Gu Palace while Chen Mu listens attentively.

The prohibition on entering the upper two layers at will doesn’t surprise him. After all, the upper layers are relatively weak compared to God Realm presences; particularly in the surface world, where merely stepping in and slightly releasing one’s aura would cause countless living beings to perish instantly.

During their brief exchange, Chen Mu also learns about Tai Chen’s background. Tai Chen is one of the disciples of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, a God Realm being of the Sixth Layer Heaven. The present figure of Tai Chen is merely an Avatar, responsible for various affairs in the Fan Gu Palace.

Despite his strength being superior to Chen Mu by more than a tier, Tai Chen treats Chen Mu with great fervor.

Having acquired information about Chen Mu from the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, Tai Chen understands that Chen Mu is not a typical Original World native Realm Master, but a highly gifted leader of the era. Although currently at the Fourth Layer Heaven in terms of strength, reaching the Sixth Layer Heaven like himself is only a matter of time, and there is even a great likelihood of Chen Mu becoming a Divine Monarch in the future!

Faced with such a figure, Tai Chen naturally strives to forge a good relationship, and despite being a disciple of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch with an extraordinary status and position, he shows no arrogance in front of Chen Mu.

Very soon.

Guided by Tai Chen, Chen Mu reaches the Fan Gu Palace located at the center of the Third Layer Divine Realm in the Fan Gu Realm.

The palace is exceptionally grand and magnificent, towering up to ten thousand zhang, stretching across a hundred thousand li. Though it is merely a single palace, it rivals the entire size of the Da Xuan World itself!
