Chapter 1244: Chapter 605: The Divine Monarch Falls (Part 2)

"Unexpected gain."

Chen Mu nodded slightly and put away the Void Stone.

He naturally needed such mystical artifacts, as he had never exchanged for a suitable Divine Weapon, not wanting to spend too many Fan Gu orders, because he still needed to accumulate them to exchange for Divine Power Secret Technique.

Back in Da Xuan World, when he dominated the realm and cleared out all the demons, resources were extremely abundant; nothing was lacking. But once he stepped into the God Realm, he found himself in a situation where resources were very scarce.

"If I could have an Upper Divine Weapon of the Creation Dao, that would be great."

Chen Mu sighed inwardly.

With his current strength, he could reach the Sixth Layer Heaven limit without relying on a Divine Weapon, invincible below the level of a Divine Monarch. With an Upper Divine Weapon at his disposal, his strength might truly reach the threshold of a Divine Monarch!

Although using external forces to reluctantly catch up to the Seventh Layer Heaven, his strength would still be considerably inferior to a true Divine Monarch, but at least he could cross that threshold, and hold some ability to defend against true Divine Monarchs, not easily handled.

However, this thought by Chen Mu was only fleeting.

Because an Upper Divine Weapon is extremely valuable; even Divine Monarch-level beings might not have one for everyone. Some who just step into the Seventh Layer Heaven often don’t have an Upper Divine Weapon.

They have to spend long years exploring many dangerous secret realms that only Divine Monarchs can enter, gathering resources, and ultimately crafting their own Upper Divine Weapon.

If he had an Upper Divine Weapon, it might appear to allow him to reach the Divine Monarch threshold, but it would actually be a disaster, inevitably attracting the covetousness and plunder by countless Divine Monarchs, which he could not defend against with his current strength.

Possessing an Upper Divine Weapon without reaching Divine Monarch Level is more a curse than a blessing.

Chen Mu pondered for a while and then turned around, disappearing into the void.

The unexpected gain of a Void Stone brought a slight change for Chen Mu. He had previously tried to comprehend the Essential Mysteries of the Void Lineage but found it even more obscure and difficult to understand than the Causality Lineage.

Compared to that, focusing on the Mysteries Fusion of Life and All Spirits is more appropriate.

After all, comprehending another Void Mysterious would only slightly enhance his strength, but understanding Mysteries Fusion could directly break through the Divine Monarch threshold; Void Mysteries and Time Mysteries can be tried in cultivation when achieving Divine Monarch.

Now, with an additional Void Stone, it could serve as the foundation to comprehend the corresponding Void Mysterious, greatly improving the efficiency. Perhaps in just one or two hundred Boundary Years, he could understand a Void Mysterious.

However.

After pondering for a while, Chen Mu slightly shook his head, thinking there was no need to rush, better to follow the flow of Nature.

[Mysteries Fusion: Life - All Spirits]

[Experience: 22,925 points]

On the system panel, the accumulated Experience Points for Mysteries Fusion have reached over 22,000 points!

Spending just a thousand Boundary Years, the Mysteries Fusion accumulated more than 10,000 points of Experience, which was much faster than the past accumulation rate. At this pace, just a few thousand Boundary Years would complete the Life and All Spirits fusion!

Of course, a few thousand Boundary Years is still quite long, but this is the true qualitative change, and it’s not too far off. Therefore, Chen Mu doesn’t plan to spread his energy considering other matters. The only task before him now is to focus on comprehending the Mysteries Fusion of Life and All Spirits, surpassing the boundary of the Seventh Layer Heaven!

...

Time fleetingly passes.

Fan Gu Ancient Domain border.

Buzz!

Ripples appeared on the border space domain wall, followed by a figure silently crossing the boundary wall into the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.

This figure wore a pitch-black robe, underneath which was a body resembling a tree, with a countenance that looked like green wood. Though he had limbs like a human, they resembled dried branches.

He cast deep eyes toward the far-reaching depths of the void, with an unknown emotion flashing in his gaze.

Not lingering in place long, the next moment he continued forward, swiftly disappearing into nothingness. He traveled onward, for who knows how long, until a huge world appeared ahead.

Da Xuan World!

The past Da Xuan World was inconspicuous because it was uncivilized, lacking a Realm Master, and positioned on the fringe of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain, even unnoticed by the major forces in Fan Gu Ancient Domain.

But the current Da Xuan World is drastically different; even from a distance, its extraordinary nature can be sensed, and up close, it stands out among large worlds.

The tree-like being came into the void, gazing toward Da Xuan World.

His eyes penetrated the boundary wall of Da Xuan World, vaguely glimpsing a towering giant tree here that held up a piece of the heavens vault.

"Xunmu..."

The tree-like being murmured softly, seemingly with a hint of sorrow in his tone.

Right around this time.

Inside Da Xuan World, the Xunmu giant tree towering between heaven and earth suddenly had a pair of eyes emerge on its trunk, casting a gaze outward beyond the boundary wall of Da Xuan World, revealing a hint of an unusual color.

"...Who is it?"

He sensed a familiar aura but with some concealment, unable to immediately identify the individual.

Meanwhile.

In the depths of the Heavenly Palace, Chen Mu’s interface avatar seated cross-legged slowly opened its eyes, showing deep, profound eyes gazing outward.

Though he focused nearly all his mind on comprehending Mysteries Fusion, his Divine Power true identity still split some consciousness to monitor the Dark Sky Abyss, while the interface avatar also split some to watch Da Xuan World.

Unknown aura.

Who?

Seeing a faint glimmer in Chen Mu’s eyes, he pondered slightly and then stood up slowly, stepping forward to the edge of Da Xuan World, casting his gaze across the boundary wall to the void, capturing the form within it.

"I am the Realm Master of this boundary; may I inquire who you are..."

Chen Mu noticed the opponent standing in the void being silent, so he proactively inquired.

Currently, he had no fear in Fan Gu Ancient Domain; Divine Monarchs from other domains dreaded the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, not daring to trespass easily. And below the Divine Monarch level, he was invincible.

The tree-like being cloaked in black, standing in the void, after hearing Chen Mu’s words, shifted his gaze toward Chen Mu, scrutinizing him for a moment before responding slowly:

"I am Fu Sang."

Chen Mu paused slightly upon hearing, never having heard the name, seemingly not a part of the Fan Gu Ancient Domain’s God Realm.

Yet, before Chen Mu could react, in Da Xuan World, the vast canopy giant tree Xunmu suddenly swayed its branches wildly, and a voice transmitted over.

"Fu Sang! Is it you! What of the Lord? Where is the Lord? Is he well?"

Xunmu spoke excitedly.

Jianmu Divine Monarch had created many beings, but most satisfied with Fu Sang, and Fu Sang uniquely had the privilege to accompany Jianmu Divine Monarch even when out, considered one of Jianmu’s means against enemies, under Jianmu’s command and blessing could almost match an ordinary Divine Monarch.

He didn’t know the whereabouts of Jianmu Divine Monarch, but Fu Sang surely knew.

Nevertheless.

Upon hearing Xunmu’s words, Fu Sang fell silent.

Seeing Fu Sang’s silence, Xunmu’s heart suddenly surged with bad premonition.

"The Lord has fallen."

"Impossible!"

Xunmu retorted incredulously: "The Lord is a Divine Monarch, strength reaching the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak, based on Life and All Spirits, even facing Eighth Layer Heaven beings, could still protect himself, how could he fall!"

Fu Sang remained silent, not answering.

Beside them, Chen Mu also paused slightly.

Jianmu Divine Monarch, has fallen?

A Divine Monarch standing at the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak, able to endure countless tribulations without perishing; Xunmu always waited for news from Jianmu Divine Monarch, hoping to return to his homeland, but what arrived was news of Jianmu Divine Monarch’s fall.
