Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1407: Chapter 677: Boundless Time (Part 2)

Now, according to the Artifact Spirit of Molten Fire City, it is highly possible that one of them has comprehended the Great Dao and ascended to the Nine Layer Heavens!

“That is the cave mansion of Divine Monarch Mu.”

The Artifact Spirit of Molten Fire City replied.

“Divine Monarch Mu… is it really him?”

Upon hearing this, the president of the Flame Sun Association took a deep breath, not too surprised, but with a hint of sigh.

Chen Mu and he both stood at the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit, being the closest to the Nine Layer Heavens. Thus, when he judged from the Artifact Spirit of Molten Fire City that someone might have broken through the bottleneck and stepped into the Nine Layer Heavens, the first person he thought of was Chen Mu.

Sure enough,

upon hearing that it was Chen Mu’s cave mansion that had undergone such a change, the president of the Flame Sun Association was completely certain.

“Still, he has surpassed me.”

The president of the Flame Sun Association sighed.

He doesn’t know Chen Mu well, but since he is one of the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit from the Void Lineage, he is undoubtedly a very ancient existence. The bottleneck of the Four Mystical Fusions might be just a step away, and it is normal to break through that step.

However, he also stands at the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit and watching Chen Mu join the Flame Sun Association, move to Molten Fire City, and break through the Nine Layer Heavens in just over a hundred epochs in his city naturally stirred some emotions.

Nonetheless,

he is not an ordinary person and soon calmed his mind.

“He should be comprehending the Nine Layer Heavens Secret Technique; do not disturb him, nor let others disrupt him.”

The president of the Flame Sun Association gave instructions to the Artifact Spirit of Molten Fire City in a deep voice.

Since Chen Mu has ascended to the Nine Layer Heavens, the situation is entirely different. Whether he wants to leave Molten Fire City in the future or continue to reside there, he must be treated with due respect. Now that Chen Mu has used his methods to shield Molten Fire City’s perception, naturally, he does not want to be disturbed, so he certainly would not offend him.

“Yes.”

The Artifact Spirit of Molten Fire City responded and then quietly disappeared.

The president of the Flame Sun Association looked at where the Artifact Spirit of Molten Fire City disappeared, pondered slightly, and then shook his head gently, not divulging the news of Chen Mu’s breakthrough to the Nine Layer Heavens to the managers of the Flame Sun Association.

Chen Mu should have just broken through, newly entering the Nine Layer Heavens, definitely needing to spend time in seclusion practice with the Divine Power Secret Technique, not willing to be disturbed by the outside world. Thus, it was unnecessary for him to spread Chen Mu’s affairs to avoid displeasing Chen Mu.

After all,

with Chen Mu stepping into the Nine Layer Heavens and not leaving Molten Fire City, the entire Flame Sun Association has gained a Sea Calming Divine Needle, making the Nine Layer Heavens truly invincible in this shallow area of the Abyss of Eternity.

If Molten Fire City encounters significant danger, Chen Mu would most likely intervene.

“I don’t know when I will be able to take that step.”

The president of the Flame Sun Association sighed once more, slowly closed his eyes, and continued to comprehend the Origin Dao.

…

“Nine Layer Heavens.”

On the other side, in the cave mansion of the Fan Gu Divine Monarch, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch gazed into the void, uttering to himself.

Within the Flame Sun Association, he is the only one besides the president who knows that Chen Mu has already ascended to unparalleled heights, and he wasn’t too surprised about it either, as to him, Chen Mu being a reincarnation of the Nine Layers Heaven is a certainty beyond doubt.

Moreover, considering that Chen Mu has walked the Void Lineage in this life, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch speculates that Chen Mu wasn’t an ordinary figure in the Nine Layer Heavens in his past life either, at least at the level of a Double Vein Nine Heavens!

As for why a Double Vein Nine Heavens would be forced to reincarnate, the Fan Gu Divine Monarch conjectures that it is likely due to Chen Mu’s exceptional talent and comprehension in his past life, but lacking the opportunity to forge a Perfect Divine Body before becoming a god.

The most top-tier Nine Layer Heaven beings often pursue limit and perfection. In the absence of a Perfect Divine Body, it is not impossible for one to rage and reincarnate, retraining to achieve a Perfect Divine Body.

This life,

if Chen Mu can once again achieve ‘Double Vein Nine Heavens’ and combine it with a Perfect Divine Body, then amidst the vast universe, only those extremely rare ‘Three Veins Nine Heavens’ can be one step above Chen Mu.

Fan Gu Divine Monarch has only heard of such beings as Three Veins Nine Heavens and has never actually seen one, nor has he even seen a Double Vein Nine Heavens in his long years, as they are truly invincible below the level of a Dao Venerable.

After a brief sigh,

Fan Gu Divine Monarch closed his eyes again and continued to comprehend the Void Dao.

Since meeting Chen Mu, indeed, he had continuous encounters and even had the good fortune of a discussion with Chen Mu, making him solidly half a step ahead on the path to the Nine Layer Heavens.

Even though his power is still at the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, when it comes to his proximity to the Nine Layer Heavens, he is very close, even convinced that he is ahead of many main figures of the Flame Sun Association.

There is no certainty of success in the future, but at least the Nine Layer Heavens are within sight!

…

Time stretches on.

In a blink, over five hundred epochs have passed.

Within the depths of Chen Mu’s cave mansion in Molten Fire City, he sat cross-legged in Nihility, clothed in simple garments, surrounded by waves of Void Force continuously tempering his Divine Body.

These Void Forces converged into Four Profound Mysteries and entangled with each other in an exquisitely intricate manner, forming a special method of tempering, which made Chen Mu’s Divine Body grow step by step.

Unaware of how much time had passed,

finally, Chen Mu’s form trembled, and the Void Force surrounding him dispersed slowly like smoke and clouds.

“Nine Layer Heavenly Divine Body.”

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the overwhelming Divine Power within him and let out a breath.

Distinct from the Divine Body tempered by the Eighth Layer Heaven Secret Method, the Divine Body tempered by the Nine Layer Heavens Secret Technique increased his Divine Power by at least four or five times more than during the Eighth Layer, reaching an entirely different level!

It is known that with a Perfect Divine Body, Chen Mu’s Divine Power was already more potent than Divine Monarchs with a common Nine Portions Divine Power Foundation, and now, with this Nine Layer Heavenly Perfect Divine Body, he could crush an Eighth Layer Heaven Peak with a mere flick!

Even someone like the president of the Flame Sun Association at the Eighth Layer Heaven Limit could be suppressed with a backhand from him!

“With a Perfect Divine Body, I ascend to the Nine Layer Heavens, being much stronger than the ordinary Nine Heavens… However, upon reaching this step of the Nine Layer Heavens, the Perfect Divine Body, though rare, should exist within the vast boundless universe.”

“Given my current strength, I am superior to ordinary Nine Layer Heavens, yet inferior to those with common Nine Layer Heavens Perfection!”

Chen Mu calmly assessed his capabilities.

The so-called Nine Layer Heavens Perfection is the state where Divine Power exceeds the usual Nine Portions Foundation possessed by other Divine Monarchs.

If, on top of that, one also possesses a Perfect Divine Body, then only those rare, extremely rare ‘Three Veins Nine Layer Heavens’ in the vast universe could surpass Chen Mu.

A few times before,

When Chen Mu was in the Interface Domain of Fan Gu, the materials for refining the Void Lineage Nine Layer Heavens Divine Weapon had already been collected, waiting to be refined, and aligned with the Divine Power True Body.

Though unfortunate that the Divine Power True Body cannot wield it, the materials for it had long been gathered by Chen Mu’s Interface Avatar in the Fan Gu Ancient Domain.
