Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1220: Chapter 595: Guardianship (Part 2)

Furthermore, the abyss lifeforms emerging from within the Dark Sky Abyss themselves possess considerable value. Once hunted or captured alive, there will often be gains, and it is even possible to acquire extremely rare treasures from within them.

According to what Chen Mu knows,

the Dark Sky Abyss is chaotic due to its containing all Origin Power; thus, the resources spawning inside it are unimaginably plentiful. Many resources that can be exchanged at the Fan Gu Palace actually originate from the Dark Sky Abyss!

However, the Dark Sky Abyss is exceedingly dangerous, requiring at least those of the Fifth Layer Heaven Divine Realm and above to qualify for guarding it.

Now, Chen Mu is naturally qualified.

After mastering the Mysteries of All Spirits and practicing the Spirit Life Divine Method to the Third Layer, his strength has securely stepped into the Sixth Layer Heaven, possessing the capability to shatter the Sixth Layer Heaven with his abilities alone!

With the ability to shatter the Sixth Layer Heaven purely with self-means, he has the initial capability to protect himself in front of a Divine Monarch. Though a Divine Monarch can still annihilate him with a flick of a finger, it’s challenging for a Divine Monarch to annihilate all avatars from afar via causality.

Moreover, Chen Mu currently has a Divine Power Avatar residing within the Fan Gu Palace. The Fan Gu Palace itself is an Upper Divine Weapon, controlled by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, ensuring the interior is extremely secure. Even if the Divine Monarch’s lethal moves are transmitted through causality, it would be difficult to bypass the protection and control of the Fan Gu Palace and the Fan Gu Divine Monarch—it’s like having multiple layers of insurance.

This is one of the fundamental reasons why all God Realm beings joining the Fan Gu Palace leave an avatar inside the palace.

Even those reclusive individualists who never interact with others will leave an avatar there long-term for additional survival assurance.

Of course.

Even so, Chen Mu remains very cautious.

He limits the power he shows at the Fan Gu Palace to the Fifth Layer Heaven, and takes the task of guarding the Dark Sky Abyss with the strength of the Fifth Layer Heaven.

Since the Demon Clan’s invasion of the Da Xuan World, nearly a thousand Boundary Years have passed. For a God Realm being, this is not very brief. Given the talent he once displayed, having Fifth Layer Heaven strength a thousand Boundary Years later isn’t surprising.

Just as Chen Mu attempts further observation of the Dark Sky Abyss,

a figure soon emerges from afar in the nihility—a Green Winged True God standing three zhang tall.

"Wing King."

Chen Mu observes the figure from afar, nodding slightly in greeting.

This is a God Realm being of the Sixth Layer Heaven. Although he hasn’t met this individual, they are not unfamiliar, since not many God Realm beings reach the Sixth Layer Heaven in the Fan Gu Palace, and they’re mostly famed individuals.

"Chen Mu."

Wing King looks at Chen Mu, nodding slightly and saying calmly: "You should roughly know the situation of the Dark Sky Abyss; it is connected to four Space Domains. The portion connected to the Fan Gu Ancient Domain stretches about thirty trillion li. Of these thirty trillion li, the Boundary Master of Hongming and I each guard parts of ten trillion li at both ends. The ten trillion li in the center is handed over to the Fifth Layer Heaven God Realm beings for segmented guarding. Now that you’ve come, you will be responsible for the two trillion li adjacent to my section."

"If you encounter abyss life forms you can’t handle, just engage them slightly, and I’ll arrive swiftly."

Wing King is very polite towards Chen Mu.

Although Chen Mu’s displayed strength in the Fan Gu Palace is Fifth Layer Heaven, his origins are unknown, and even Hall Master Tai Chen is very courteous towards him. As Wing King knows, Chen Mu seems to have caught the attention of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch.

In the entire Fan Gu Ancient Domain, few garner the attention of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch. Although Chen Mu is currently only Fifth Layer Heaven, it’s likely not difficult for him to step into the Sixth Layer Heaven, perhaps even reaching Sixth Layer Heaven Peak, so Wing King naturally does not take him lightly.

"Alright."

Chen Mu has no objections upon hearing Wing King’s arrangement.

With his true strength, guarding ten trillion li would be no problem. The larger the area he guards, the higher the possibility of acquiring resources from the Dark Sky Abyss. However, his primary purpose here is not the resources of the Dark Sky Abyss but to utilize it to comprehend the remaining three types of Mystical aspects of the Creation Dao and the fusion wonders of Life and All Spirits.

With a step forward,

Chen Mu steps into nihilism, quickly reaching the area arranged by Wing King.

The section of two trillion li he guards borders the area Wing King guards and next to other Space Domains, with another section of two trillion li guarded by a Fifth Layer Heaven God Realm being on the other side.

Upon sensing Chen Mu’s arrival, this Fifth Layer Heaven God Realm being also sends an avatar to greet Chen Mu.

"Brother Chen."

"Brother Molten Fire."

Chen Mu looks at the figure, about one zhang six tall, humanoid in shape, yet resembling a being condensed from molten lava and flames, greeting the other with friendliness.

This being he knows; they’ve interacted several times in the Fan Gu Palace, originating from the Molten Fire Realm, a God Realm being also serving as the Realm Master of the Molten Fire Realm. He is quite ancient within the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, having reached the Fifth Layer Heaven after a long expanse of Time.

"Recently, I wanted to invite Brother Chen to visit my Molten Fire Realm, but you were in seclusion at the time. I was planning to extend an invitation once you emerged from seclusion, but unexpectedly, you directly came to the Dark Sky Abyss this time."

The Realm Master of Molten Fire said with a hearty laugh.

Though his whole body looks like molten lava fire, his demeanor lacks any brutality and he is far more polite towards Chen Mu than Wing King, even proactively seeking friendship with Chen Mu.

Unlike Wing King, who was born in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain and has lived less than a tenth of Molten Fire’s, now a Sixth Layer Heaven God Realm being with potential to reach the peak or become a Divine Monarch, Molten Fire knows little chance to become one.

Even though Chen Mu, publicly with only Fifth Layer Heaven strength, is explicitly befriended by Hall Master Tai Chen and rumored to be considered important by the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, the status between Molten Fire and Chen Mu is naturally different.

"Hmm, I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I came to the Dark Sky Abyss to comprehend and seek an opportunity."

Chen Mu responds to the Realm Master of Molten Fire.

He can clearly see the intention of the Realm Master of Molten Fire to make connections, and he doesn’t mind at all, as even though the latter lacks strong combat power, his understanding of the Endless Void is likely more comprehensive than his own. He doesn’t hesitate to use this chance to learn more about the Endless Void from the Realm Master of Molten Fire.

"Hahaha, it’s often said that crisis and opportunity coexist. In the vast Space Domains, the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk. Comparatively, the Dark Sky Abyss is quite the safe secret place. Beings like us, as long as we don’t approach the Dark Sky Abyss, face virtually no threat of falling, and can occasionally hunt abyss lifeforms, making this indeed a prudent choice."

The Realm Master of Molten Fire laughed upon hearing Chen Mu’s words.

Compared to other missions or personally exploring some special Secret Realms that may come with great opportunities yet pose great risks, some Secret Realms even put Divine Monarch Level existences in danger.

The Dark Sky Abyss, though perilous, poses little life threat as long as one doesn’t approach it. Beings of the Fifth Layer Heaven Divine Realm can usually handle Sixth Layer Heaven abyss life with considerable survival ability, only truly threatened by Divine Monarch Level abyss lifeforms.

Throughout hundreds or thousands of epoches, the emergence of Divine Monarch Level abyss lifeforms from the Dark Sky Abyss is rare. Even ancient beings like the Realm Master of Molten Fire, who have guarded the Dark Sky Abyss more than once, have never encountered such a situation.
