Chapter 1366: Chapter 661: Discussing the Dao with Fan Gu (Part 2)

After all, reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit, one is only a step away from the Nine Layer Heavens, especially in such a unique environment as the Abyss of Eternity. Let others know he is a reincarnation of Nine Layers Heaven, and there would only be more Divine Monarchs attempting to associate with or even cling to him.

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s words, Fan Gu sighed with emotion, "It’s merely a little trick, not worth mentioning. In terms of comprehension within the Void Lineage, you’re no longer inferior to me."

He has been immersed in the Way of the Void for a long time; in the aspect of subtle manipulation, perhaps he’s slightly more exquisite than Chen Mu. The moves he created are also more perfect. Previously, when Chen Mu resisted the move ’Universe’ used by the Black Shadow Abyss Beast, his use of the Void Force was still slightly crude, but in essence, there is no longer any gap in Realm between them.

In fact, with a more powerful Perfect Divine Body, Chen Mu’s strength surpasses his.

"Alright, since we’ve nothing else to do, how about a game of chess between us?"

After a brief emotional moment, Fan Gu Divine Monarch looked at Chen Mu, a slight gleam in his eyes.

As he spoke,

He gently lifted the wooden staff in his hand and struck it on the mountain peak. In an instant, the entire world turned upside down, and the mountains started to shrink infinitely. Beneath them appeared a vast expanse of Void, with trenches crisscrossing it, forming a chessboard. Above, the Heavens Vault was adorned with stars, each a separate space, a little world.

Void as the chessboard, worlds as pieces!

The Avatar of Fan Gu Divine Monarch in the Fan Gu Palace often played chess with Chen Mu’s Avatar as well, but after all, those were matches between Avatars, and the direction of those games wasn’t rooted in the Void Dao, just casually in their usual exchanges.

But the chessboard set now, based on the Void Dao, was an invitation to Chen Mu, not only to play chess but actually to debate about Dao, aiming to delve deeply into each other’s comprehension of the Void Dao!

Fan Gu Divine Monarch longs to ascend to the Nine Layer Heavens.

He has yearned for it for so long, yet he has never seen the end of this path.

Chen Mu is a reincarnation of the Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch, certainly from the Creation Lineage in the previous life. But for some reason, in this life, he chose the Void Lineage and even reached the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit within a short period, which surprised Fan Gu Divine Monarch. In his heart, he even vaguely suspected, had Chen Mu reached the heights of Nine Layer Heavens in both the Creation and Void Lineages in his past life?!

Double Vein Nine Heavens!

A character like that, for Fan Gu Divine Monarch, he had only heard about!

Among the supreme Divine Monarchs of the Nine Layer Heavens, there are strengths and weaknesses alike. Comprehending one Four Mysterious Fusion allows one to step into the domain of Nine Layer Heavens, and on this basis, with each additional comprehension of a Four Mysterious Fusion power, the strength increases by a level.

Until mastering all five Four Mysterious Fusions of a single lineage, reaching the pinnacle of Single Vein Nine Heavens, with the foundation to comprehend a complete Origin Dao!

But to master five Mystical Fusions and hold a complete Origin Dao, it is exceedingly difficult.

Throughout the Endless Void, countless Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs have emerged. Among them, innumerable outstanding ones have reached the pinnacle of Nine Layer Heavens, but counting through the ages of the Endless Void, those who truly achieve the ’Venerable’ Realm do not exceed a hundred.

Thus, the vast majority of Divine Monarchs who reach the Nine Layer Heavens peak will, in the face of being unable to break through the Venerable threshold, turn to comprehend different Origin Dao to achieve Double Vein Nine Heavens, or even Three Veins Nine Heavens.

These are the true standouts among the Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs, the most powerful existence below the Venerable, arguably invincible.

For this reason, Fan Gu Divine Monarch was highly suspicious. If Chen Mu had indeed progressed to the pinnacle of Nine Layer Heavens in his past life, or even to the degree of Double Vein Nine Heavens, what kind of trouble could have forced Chen Mu to reincarnate?

Or could it be,

Chen Mu truly pursued the perfect Divine Body with ten Divine Power Foundations and thus abandoned the identity of Nine Layer Heavens to reincarnate and rebuild?

Regardless of which, both thoughts greatly shook Fan Gu Divine Monarch, but at this moment, he didn’t want to think too much about it. He only wanted to converse with Chen Mu about the Way of the Void, hoping to gain some Spiritual Light from Chen Mu that could truly help him take that step forward.

"Very well, Brother Fan Gu is the host, please begin."

Looking at the Void Chessboard that Fan Gu Divine Monarch arranged, a slight glint appeared in Chen Mu’s eyes as he nodded serenely.

He didn’t mind discussing the Way of the Void with Fan Gu Divine Monarch. Although in terms of Realm, he was not inferior to Fan Gu Divine Monarch, in terms of strength, he surpassed him. Yet, after all, Fan Gu Divine Monarch had been immersed in the Eighth Layer Heaven peak of the Void Lineage for a lengthy age, and his comprehension of the Void was likely deeper than his.

Engaging in Dao discourse with Fan Gu Divine Monarch would also be beneficial for Chen Mu, potentially allowing him to gain extensive Experience, bringing him closer to the Nine Layer Heavens within the Void Lineage.

"Please, Divine Monarch Mu, impart your guidance."

Fan Gu Divine Monarch didn’t decline; in his heart, Chen Mu’s comprehension of the Void Lineage was certainly above his, and his strength had already surpassed him by one level. Since he had proactively invited Chen Mu for a Dao discourse, naturally, he started by demonstrating his comprehension of the Void Dao.

Buzz!

Only to see his serene visage as he gently raised his hand.

In an instant, a star, representing a small world from the Heavens Vault above, was drawn by a force of the Void, descending all the way to crash onto the crisscrossed chessboard, transforming into a Boundary Piece!
