Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1418: Chapter 682: Wuxiang City

As the Void Lineage of the Nine Layer Heavens, Chen Mu subtly concealed his form, immediately vanishing without a trace. Even the billions of Divine Monarchs gathered outside the Gate of Myriad Wonders could not find his whereabouts.

Gathered outside the Gate of Myriad Wonders, although all were within the Nine Layer Heavens, they were essentially beings that had not yet achieved Single Vein Perfection. In the Nine Layer Heavens, they were considered lower level, unable to gain acceptance from major factions, and lacked the ability to survive long within the Source Realm. Mostly, after exhausting three chances to enter the Source Realm, they could only watch outside the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

While seeking opportunities, they continued to pursue the Great Dao, aiming to break through to Single Vein Perfection as soon as possible.

Generally speaking,

reaching Single Vein Perfection provides a foundation for long-term residence within the Source Realm.

Because with Single Vein Perfection, although it remains difficult to join major factions, one can always find other Single Vein Perfection individuals to ally with. In such circumstances, within the Source Realm, one possesses some competitive power, often able to seize a small amount of Origin Power, thus sustaining long-term residence within the Source Realm.

Chen Mu was well aware of these situations, mainly due to his dialogue with the Master of Tianji.

The Master of Tianji had entered the Source Realm once before, hence he was very familiar with the Source Realm’s conditions. After suffering losses, he realized his strength was insufficient for long-term residence in the Source Realm, and continuing to enter would only waste opportunities. Thus, he returned to the Sky Extreme Space Seat, collecting various resources and seeking opportunities, hoping to achieve Single Vein Perfection.

Yet, contrary to his wishes, signs of the Universe’s End of Tribulation appeared, and he was still slightly short of reaching Single Vein Perfection. At this point, there was no time for hesitation, so the Master of Tianji also left the Sky Extreme Space Seat, heading towards the Source Realm. He hoped to achieve Single Vein Perfection in the subsequent two opportunities, thus securing a long-term residence opportunity within the Source Realm and looking forward to the path of the Venerable.

In the eyes of the Master of Tianji, these matters should not be a secret to Chen Mu, the Reincarnation of Nine Layers Heaven, so during their dialogue, he did not deliberately conceal them and even proactively showed goodwill towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was well aware of the Master of Tianji’s goodwill, but he still wouldn’t join forces with the Master of Tianji to enter the Source Realm. After all, his current strength already stood at the level of Single Vein Great Perfection, almost qualifying for solitary survival within the Source Realm. The Master of Tianji had not yet reached Single Vein Perfection, making him completely unsuitable for joint action.

Of course,

obtaining much information from the Master of Tianji counted as a little harvest. If later he could secure a large amount of Origin Power and randomly encountered the Master of Tianji, he wouldn’t mind repaying a little.

Chen Mu moved forward quietly, bypassing numerous Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs, proceeding to the front of the Gate of Myriad Wonders, and stepping forward, his entire being instantly crossing the Gate of Myriad Wonders, disappearing from sight.

Swish.

As he crossed the Gate of Myriad Wonders, his hidden figure in the Void manifested briefly but disappeared without a trace the next moment.

"Who went in?"

"Hmm? Is it the Void Lineage?"

"Such mystical techniques... The Void Lineage within the Source Realm indeed holds great prospects."

Numerous Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarchs gathered near the Gate of Myriad Wonders immediately detected the disturbance, each one focused their attention, but obscured by the Gate of Myriad Wonders’ power, none could see Chen Mu’s figure, only knowing someone entered.

This scenario, naturally many immediately recognized, should be the concealing techniques of the Void Lineage, able to approach the Gate of Myriad Wonders silently and enter directly.

Among the cultivators of the Three Veins of the Three Original Daos, although within the same level their powers are evenly matched, each with unique strengths, within the Source Realm, the vast majority of the Creation Lineage is the most common, while the Void and Time Lineages are much more favored.

For Divine Monarchs of the Single Vein Perfection of Creation Lineage, their survival qualification within the Source Realm is only initial. They could ally with other beings of the same level or join some small factions, but wanting to join under major factions was often very challenging.

However, Divine Monarchs of the Single Vein Perfection of the Void Lineage would generally not face rejection when trying to join any faction.

As for the Time Lineage, there’s no need to mention, if they can reach Single Vein Perfection, forces from all sides would even proactively invite them.

...

Eyes open.

The first sight was a wide Vermilion Bird Street, extending over a hundred steps, its Qing Shi path stretching like a chessboard grid, with double-eaved structures on both sides connected like waves. Between the street, peddlers rang copper bells while selling preserved fruits, clay models, and bamboo crafts leaping in baskets. The roadside teahouses had storytellers striking their waking block, prompting cheers.

Looking at this worldly scene before him, Chen Mu did not show much surprise.

"Source Realm, Origin Realm, boundless mystery, Thousand Changes."

"This time is it the ’Ancient City’?"

The Source Realm is an exceptionally unique Secret Realm; no one knows its overall appearance, only knowing that each entry leads to a different region.

And the scene displayed before Chen Mu, or rather this region, is indeed the most common Ancient City.

A glance farther,

The city is vast and grand, stretching for a thousand miles, inhabited by countless living beings, but most are mundane, seemingly an illusion woven by the Power of Dao within the Source Realm, yet closely observing reveals all exist in reality.
