Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1209: Chapter 590: The Year 2000

Time flies.

The essence of life in the God Realm differs vastly from that of mortal beings. It’s somewhat exaggerated to say that a millennium passes in the blink of an eye, yet it’s quite common for a single seclusion in cultivation to transcend dozens or even hundreds of boundary years.

Now, it has been two hundred boundary years since Chen Mu joined Fan Gu Palace and officially entered the world of the Endless Void.

Two hundred boundary years in the world of Da Xuan equates to a long span of two thousand years, marking a significant point on the scale of Chen Mu’s current life. Yet, in relation to his future Immortal Road, it’s merely a trivial node.

“Life is truly extraordinary and mysterious.”

At this moment, the Divine Power True Body of Chen Mu stands beyond a vast blue world, observing the situation inside the world.

This world is entirely different from the underground world. It is a place where the element of water is extremely abundant, and virtually the entire world consists of oceanic regions with scarcely any land, over ninety percent being made up of seas.

One might suppose such a world is entirely different from the world of Da Xuan, and perhaps the Qiankun Eight Phases are completely imbalanced, making life difficult to thrive in such an environment. However, in reality, life flourishes in this world!

In this boundless oceanic world, countless varieties of strange and peculiar beings live.

Among them, there exist humanoid life forms with remarkably high intelligence. They resemble fishmen, with heads and torsos similar to humans, yet their bodies are adorned with various scales or fins.

Unlike the underground world that Chen Mu once studied, these fishmen have completely dominated this oceanic world. The Fishman Clan boasts quite a few strong individuals, with as many as six Grandmaster-level existences. Although this may sound insignificant, this oceanic world is merely a Middle Realm. Inhabitants of a Middle Realm reaching the grandmaster level have already reached their pinnacle.

“This race is far more prosperous than the Dwarf Race of the underground world…”

Chen Mu continues to observe the Fishman Clan in this world.

In his heart, he compares them to the Dwarf Race.

Two hundred boundary years ago, he once intervened in the development of the Dwarf Race, bestowing upon them more advanced cultivation methods, which significantly accelerated their progress.

Ultimately, about a hundred boundary years ago, or approximately one thousand years after receiving Chen Mu’s gifts, the Dwarf Race gave birth to their first Grandmaster-level existence, truly becoming the strongest race in that world.

Again, after dozens of boundary years, they completely dominated the underground world.

By comparison, the Fishman Clan has developed a bit faster, not simply because they are smarter than the Dwarf Race, but simply due to the fact that this oceanic world has existed longer than the underground world.

“As long as a world exists long enough, it will eventually be dominated by the highest spirituality race.”

Chen Mu mused silently.

In different worlds, the birth of life is like random seeding, with all manner of strange life forms appearing, among which some, by chance, are born with exceedingly high spirituality.

These highly spiritual life forms often lean towards humanoid appearances. As long as they do not perish prematurely, even if initially weak, they can eventually rule that world over time.

“From the phenomenon, development of life seems to be a gradual adaptation to the world, but in essence, life and the world are at an equal level. It is not merely life adapting to the world. Regardless of the nature of the world, as long as there is the ‘Life Profound Mystery,’ life will inevitably be born!”

Throughout the long years of two hundred boundary years, Chen Mu has not only studied the living beings of the underground world.

He has explored at least a dozen Middle Realms and hundreds of small realms. Each distinct world and the diverse life within brought him different insights, allowing him to constantly accumulate in his comprehension of the Life Profound Mystery.

He has even split more than one Divine Power Avatar and dispersed them across various worlds to enhance the efficiency of comprehending the Life Profound Mystery. However, this method still has certain limitations and cannot be used to form infinite Divine Power Avatars.

After all.

To navigate the Void safely and observe and study different worlds, at least the God Realm standard is required, or at least First Layer Heaven strength. For Chen Mu, it is not possible to form infinite Divine Power Avatars with First Layer Heaven strength.

Forming two or three is fine without affecting the strength of his original self, but forming dozens would definitely weaken the strength of the Divine Power True Body, even reducing it below the Fourth Layer Heaven level.

Currently, Chen Mu can separate up to three Second Layer Heaven avatars without affecting his original strength, equivalent to up to nine First Layer Heaven avatars.

He has one Second Layer Heaven avatar permanently stationed at Fan Gu Palace, while his true body has split into six First Layer Heaven avatars, which are all investigating and researching various worlds.

Currently.

His true body has arrived at this oceanic world, observing the living beings within, and he vaguely gains some insight, feeling a significant deepening in his understanding of the Life Profound Mystery.

Yet, when Chen Mu emerges from this immersive enlightenment and recalls his previous understanding and insights into the Life Profound Mystery, he shows no smile, only a slight shake of his head.
