Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1479: Chapter 710: Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor

"Besides myself, how many Venerables has Wutian Brother contacted?"

"Five."

Wutian Venerable replied frankly: "Including you, Chen Venerate, there are seven in total. If you are willing to join, our numbers would be sufficient. From there, we would only consider inviting others selectively, not exceeding nine at most."

The more Venerables join forces, the greater the chances of securing the Primordial Marvel and Great Dao Marvel. However, the more Venerables there are, the harder it becomes to allocate the marvelous resources to everyone’s satisfaction.

Therefore, a team of Venerables working together with seven or eight people is the most suitable.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mu said, "I have just entered the Realm of Venerable and know little about many matters within the universe. Wutian Brother, please allow me to deliberate for a while, and I will provide you with an answer in due time."

Wutian Venerable was not particularly surprised by Chen Mu’s response. Chen Mu had indeed just entered the Realm of Venerable, unfamiliar with other Dao Venerables and naturally knew less about matters pertaining to the Source Sea. Expecting Chen Mu to join forces with them immediately, given his limited knowledge, would seem abrupt.

Moreover,

There were others besides Wutian Venerable trying to recruit Chen Mu, a Dao Venerable from the Void Lineage.

In such circumstances, forcing Chen Mu to join them would only backfire. Ultimately, the choice lies with Chen Mu himself. His visit this time was to establish a connection and express his intention to join forces, and he had mostly achieved that purpose.

"Very well, I shall await your good news, Chen Venerate."

"By the way, other Venerables might also try to recruit you, Chen Venerate. Of those born in this cycle of the universe’s Reincarnation, you may consider them. However, for Venerables from the previous cycle or older ones, it is best to be cautious. They have experienced more cycles of the universe’s Reincarnation and tend to have their wills eroded by the Great Dao, especially those on the brink of their final despair, becoming more frenzied, and are not ideal partners to join forces with."

Wutian Venerable calmly nodded and gave Chen Mu a brief reminder.

Venerables born in this cycle of the universe’s Reincarnation usually have the strongest willpower and purest nature. While they also desire the Great Dao Marvel and Primordial Marvel, they haven’t reached the point of near madness.

As for those who have experienced two or three Universe Silences yet haven’t comprehended a second Origin Dao, their original will has been eroded by the Great Dao. They are on the brink of madness, willing to pay any price for the Primordial Marvel, disregarding all agreements and Causality constraints.

At crucial moments, it is not uncommon for them to turn against their allies.

Chen Mu, having just ascended to Dao Venerable during the last period before the End of Tribulation, appeared to these nearly deranged Venerables as the most suitable target for plundering.

"Thank you, Wutian Brother, for the reminder. I will be cautious."

After listening to Wutian Venerable’s words, Chen Mu also expressed his gratitude to Wutian Venerable.

After watching the avatar of Wutian Venerable dissipate, he slightly shook his head and also dissolved his avatar.

...

Unaware of how much time had passed.

The visiting Venerables were finally escorted away by Chen Mu one by one, and the cosmic turmoil triggered by his ascension to Dao Venerable gradually subsided.

During the End of Tribulation, it is not uncommon for Divine Monarchs to comprehend the Great Dao, break through barriers, and achieve Dao Venerable status. In fact, the closer the end of the universe, the more frequently Dao Venerables emerge, often resulting in the birth of two or three dozen during this period.

However,

The emergence of a newly ascended Dao Venerable also drives the Divine Monarchs in the Nine Layer Heavens to greater madness, intensifying their bloody and brutal struggles within the Source Realm, all for a chance to grasp the Great Dao.

At this moment, Chen Mu stood high above the Nine Heavens, within the Origin River, transformed into a stellar existence beyond the universe. With all visiting guests gone, tranquility finally settled in.

"System panel..."

Chen Mu murmured to himself before withdrawing his gaze and focusing inwardly toward the core of his will.

Through long cultivation over the years, having reached the pinnacle of Dao Venerable, he had finally located the core of the system panel, which had been subtly residing within him but unnoticed until now.

It adhered to the core of his will as an extremely tiny blood-red light, seemingly inconspicuous. Just by observing, one could completely fail to imagine that it possesses the supreme means to help one achieve Dao Venerable.

And at this moment,

Even having discovered the true core of the system panel, Chen Mu still couldn’t fully comprehend it. Despite viewing it through the lens of the Void Dao and at a venerable level, the blood-red point remained vague and chaotic.

"Primordial Treasure?"

"No, the fact that I cannot discern its essence even at the venerable level indicates, as I once suspected, that it indeed transcends the three Origin Daos."

Chen Mu concluded in his heart.

He didn’t know the exact level of the system panel’s essence, but it certainly surpassed the three Origin Daos and ordinary Primordial Treasures. This meant that the system panel’s power level was likely at a Transcendence Realm above the three Daos!

This is a Supreme Treasure!

Amid the boundless universe, only the power that completely merges three Daos, transcending the physical and the origin, and rising beyond the other shore, could possess such supreme might, aiding one in achieving the lofty realm of Dao Venerable!
