Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1221: Chapter 596: Abyss Life

After some exchanges with the Molten Fire Realm Master, Chen Mu officially settled in the Dark Sky Abyss, preparing to cultivate in peace.

He stood in a certain part of the void, carefully gazing at a rift that spanned the nihility, observing the scenes within this abyss. Although he was separated by a great distance, such focused observation still allowed him to feel a trace of apprehension lingering in his heart.

"Truly terrifying, just by observing, there is a feeling of being devoured."

Chen Mu murmured to himself.

In the endless universe, the interior of a world is the most stable environment, like a serene pond. Leaving the world and exploring the space domain is like moving from a pond into a river, with turbulent waves, requiring strong enough power to stand firm.

If one leaves the space domain and steps into the nihility secret realm beyond, it is like leaving the river and entering the vast ocean, where even the sturdiest ship might capsize at any moment.

The Dark Sky Abyss is not the safest nihility secret realm, but it is the safest among the secret places suitable for Chen Mu to station long-term. Other safer places would be of little significance for Chen Mu to station at.

For example, ’Life Plateau’.

That is a nihility secret realm almost purely formed by the life profound mystery, where the life profound mystery manifests in various ways on that plateau, making it the best place to comprehend life profundity.

Its inherent danger only threatens those at Three Layers Heavenly or below, while True Gods at Fourth Layer Heaven and above can ignore the harsh environment, unaffected by the ever-eroding life currents.

But that place is useless for Chen Mu.

Chen Mu had long comprehended the life profound mystery.

In reality, there are also nihility secret realms suitable for comprehending the mysteries of all forms, causality, and creation, but the situations vary. For example, the ’Mysterious Demon Abyss’ suitable for comprehending all forms, although connected to the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, is mostly linked with the Ancestral Demon Space Domain.

The Mysterious Demon Abyss itself is one of the territories entirely occupied by the Demon Clan of the Ancestral Demon Realm. If non-demon living beings step into it, they would be jointly hunted by the demon god realm beings. Although the structure of that demon abyss is not very resilient, internally restricting the power’s application from exceeding Sixth Layer Heaven, and unable to exert Divine Monarch Level strength, it is still guarded by avatars of demon divine monarchs.

The avatar of a divine monarch can generally exert the limit of Sixth Layer Heaven strength. Even ordinary god realm beings reaching Sixth Layer Heaven Peak find it difficult to deal with a Sixth Layer Heaven avatar of a divine monarch, despite having similar levels of power application, the gap in techniques is vast.

It’s like in the mortal world, with the same physical strength, one having reached the pinnacle of skill, and the other only beginning to grasp it; the difference in strength between them is naturally immense, with the weaker not able to confront head-on, able only to flee with all their might.

Chen Mu made the choice of the Dark Sky Abyss after much consideration.

"...Hmm?"

While observing the Dark Sky Abyss, Chen Mu’s eyes suddenly flickered.

In his line of sight, within the boundless black abyss, a certain part suddenly rippled, and then two kinds of mystical power he was familiar with emerged, precisely the life and mysteries of all spirits!

These two mystical forces intertwined, manifesting fusion within the Dark Sky Abyss, stirring Chen Mu’s heart to observe intently, quickly revealing a hint of enlightenment.

However,

This enlightenment came quickly and vanished just as fast.

It lasted for only a brief moment before the life and mysteries of all spirits entwined in the Dark Sky Abyss swiftly unraveled, transforming from order back to chaos and then dissipating into the invisible.

Chen Mu carefully recalled the scene he captured earlier, contemplating for a moment before summoning the system panel.

[Mysteries Fusion: Life—All Spirits]

[Experience: 2074 points]

The Mysteries Fusion experience points, which had been stuck at 1999, once again changed, instantly increasing by over seventy points.

Witnessing this, Chen Mu let out a slight sigh of relief and nodded to himself.

He was not worried about slow progress; he was only concerned with no progress at all, as most people stuck at the Mysteries Fusion step find themselves without an inch of progress even after long years. As long as there is progress, no matter how slow, it is steady advancement.

As the saying goes, without the accumulation of small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles. Training in martial arts requires sedimentation and accumulation, and after entering the god realm, comprehending the fundamental rules of the endless universe similarly requires accumulation and longer years of sedimentation.

Chen Mu continued to observe the Dark Sky Abyss.

In the short period of time that followed, he didn’t have such good luck again in witnessing the fusion of life and the mysteries of all spirits, but he did see other occurrences of mystical fusion several times.

Among them were fusions of the void mysterious and time mysterious, but since he had not comprehended the essential mysterious of void and time, he couldn’t understand it, only barely discerning that it should be the presentation of two different mystical fusions due to his foundation in Void Entering Dao and Entering Dao of Time.

Although the progress in Mysteries Fusion was slow, the comprehension of individual mystical entities showed rather good progress on Chen Mu’s part.

Creation, Causality, All Forms!

During the periods when Chen Mu had no gains in Mysteries Fusion, these three essential mysterious were steadily accumulating progress, and even the previously halted Void Lineage had begun to see a gradual accumulation in the experience value of its five mystical aspects.

Trying to fuse mystical forces while continuing to comprehend various other mystical entities is also part of Chen Mu’s plan. Although Mysteries Fusion is the legitimate path of the divine monarch, his foundation is substantial. If he comprehends enough essential mysterious and masters enough divine power secret techniques, he may well prove his Dao through strength, shattering the Seventh Layer Heaven with sheer power!
