Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1451: Chapter 696: Great Perfection of Three Paths

Many years have passed,

Fan Gu Divine Monarch once again visits the Da Xuan World, but this visit is full of twists and turns.

Just as he was unable to contact Chen Mu in Molten Fire City, he could not see Chen Mu in Da Xuan World either. He guessed that Chen Mu should be in the middle of an important seclusion, which resulted in all his avatars falling into silence.

However,

Although he didn’t see Chen Mu, Fan Gu Divine Monarch met Xu Hongyu. Or rather, he came personally to visit, and the people of Da Xuan World dared not neglect him, so Xu Hongyu took the initiative to greet and entertain Fan Gu Divine Monarch.

Originally, Fan Gu Divine Monarch learned that even Xu Hongyu could not contact Chen Mu, and he felt a bit regretful. Yet, during a brief chat with Xu Hongyu, he discovered that Xu Hongyu was aware of the matters concerning the End of Tribulation, even understanding them very thoroughly.

Undoubtedly,

The information Xu Hongyu knew all came from Chen Mu.

This “Lady Xu,” with no particular talent and whose Divine Body was evidently forcibly solidified with external force and had no room for progress, as Chen Mu’s wife from his humble beginnings, was clearly highly valued by Chen Mu.

But compared to these, the many things he learned about the End of Tribulation from Xu Hongyu made Fan Gu Divine Monarch fall into deep contemplation, and even when he left the Da Xuan World, he still felt somewhat dazed.

End of Tribulation.

It turns out this vast universe indeed has its end, and the end is already near.

“Have I wasted countless years to inevitably face the End of Tribulation?”

Fan Gu Divine Monarch murmured within his heart.

At the universe’s end, all shall return to nihility and silent annihilation, and only a Dao Venerable can endure. Even a Divine Monarch of the Nine Layer Heavens will also face annihilation along with the vast universe during the End of Tribulation.

This is the law of the Great Dao; it is the universe’s reincarnation and cannot be defied, just as mortals cannot resist the heavens, cannot make rivers flow backward, nor reverse life and death. These divine spirits, too, cannot defy the will of the vast universe.

However,

Fan Gu Divine Monarch is ultimately a Divine Monarch Dominator. To have arrived at this step, he has endured countless hardships. Even when facing a desperate situation, his will remains unwavering. He soon regained his composure.

The arrival of the End of Tribulation also signifies the arrival of opportunities. The entire universe will gradually descend into chaos, and amid the chaos, the Daoist charms hidden in the depths of the universe will be revealed one by one.

This so-called end-time revelry is exactly that.

In the years leading up to the end, the Great Dao will become easier to comprehend, resources will become more abundant, and the universe will resemble a living being on the brink of aging and decay, forcibly emanating one final burst of vitality.

During these last years, Fan Gu himself might have the chance to step into the Nine Layer Heavens and make one final bid for the path of the Venerable.

Moreover,

If ultimately unable to step into that realm, and the vast universe approaches its end, that is also Fate’s conclusion. Fan Gu rose from a corner of the world, step by step reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven, achieving Divine Monarch Dominator status. Though within the vast universe, it’s but a tiny drop in the sea, yet for him, it’s a glorious and magnificent life. He has no complaints in his heart.

Fan Gu Divine Monarch’s avatar quietly returned to Fan Gu Palace, then sealed the void, while simultaneously, his Divine Power True Body in Molten Fire City also entered the deepest level of seclusion.

Fortune embraces the heart; a thought widens the world.

Before knowing about the End of Tribulation, he had always cultivated to leave the Abyss of Eternity, aiming to reach the Nine Layer Heavens and escape the Abyss. After knowing about the End of Tribulation, he understood that the vast universe heading to its end is a grand momentum that cannot be avoided. One must willingly embrace it, and regardless of success or failure, he can remain composed.

Such a change in his state of mind, coupled with the details of the End of Tribulation, gave him a deeper understanding of the universe’s void. The threshold of the Nine Layer Heavens that had trapped him for ages finally quietly revealed a crack.

The accumulation from countless years of cultivation,

The sparring and discussions with Chen Mu,

The inspiration brought by various resources,

The gradually emerging profound influence as the universe’s End of Tribulation approaches,

…

All these factors have accumulated together, finally forming a qualitative change, allowing Fan Gu Divine Monarch to glimpse the scene behind that door.

For him, troubled by the inability to push open the door to the Nine Layer Heavens, now that door, quietly, opened a small crack. Naturally, Fan Gu Divine Monarch seized this opportunity, following that thread of light forward, eventually slowly pushing open the door to the Nine Layer Heavens.

Molten Fire City,

Buzzing!!!

A surge of majestic energy soared to the sky, drawing the attention of countless Divine Monarchs in the city.

“Is this…?”

The Divine Monarch Mo Yu, in the midst of seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the direction where the energy originated. He hesitated slightly and murmured, “Fan Gu, I didn’t expect you to take the first step.”

Chen Mu’s ascension to the Nine Layer Heavens was known only to Fan Gu Divine Monarch and Flame Sun Association President, who both concealed the news with no outside disclosure, so no one knew that Chen Mu was already a Ninth Layer Heavenly Divine Monarch.

In Divine Monarch Mo Yu’s mind, he had speculated Flame Sun Divine Monarch might ascend to the Nine Layer Heavens, expected Gen Jun and others, and imagined Chen Mu, but never thought of Fan Gu Divine Monarch. After all, Fan Gu Divine Monarch followed the Void Lineage, which compared to the Creation Lineage, is harder, with fewer ascending to the Nine Layer Heavens.

“Very good.”

“With you, Brother Fan Gu, taking the lead, how can I fall behind?”

After a brief murmur, Divine Monarch Mo Yu did not show any sense of discouragement but instead let out a faint sound.

Not long ago,
