Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1480: Chapter 710: Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor (Part 2)

For the current Chen Mu, having achieved the status of a Dao Venerable with a single confirmation that lasts forever, even if time were to flow backward, and he never had a system panel from the start, his path would not change. He would still grow step by step until he became a Dao Venerable. However, it is undeniable that the system panel has indeed provided significant benefits to his cultivation journey.

It is like an inexhaustible resource of wondrous treasures, constantly elevating in essence as he grows.

"I wonder if, once I comprehend the Dao of Time, I will be able to understand the true trajectory of my arrival in this world."

A thought flashed through Chen Mu’s mind.

With the Void Dao he currently masters, all the information he knows is only up to the point of his arrival in this world; anything beyond that remains beyond his reach, blocked by the special power of the system panel.

Chen Mu still doesn’t know exactly how he came to this world, whether he got the system panel before arriving or received this special Supreme Treasure after his arrival here.

However,

as for the power of the system panel, Chen Mu has now fully comprehended it.

As a Supreme Treasure, since it stands above the Origin Dao, it is naturally ever-changing, indefinable, beyond words, beyond comprehension. Presenting in the form of a system is just one of its transformations.

It can transform into a living being with spiritual wisdom, or into a Slaughter Treasure with slaughter characteristics. But currently, it only manifests as a system panel, and Chen Mu does not yet have the power to fully master it and change its manifestation. At present, Chen Mu can only use this singular function of the system panel.

In this regard,

Chen Mu doesn’t feel too perturbed. As a Dao Venerable, being able to wield a Primordial Treasure is already the limit. It’s not possible to truly control a Supreme Treasure; this Supreme Treasure is currently merely available for his use.

"Since everything is unknown, let’s not think about it for now."

Chen Mu soon temporarily shelved thoughts about the system panel and his exploration of his origins.

Since he couldn’t figure it out, continuing to delve into it was meaningless. He believed one day in the future, he would surely surpass the Dao, achieving the Realm of Transcendence, when all secrets will be unraveled, and everything will be resolved.

After briefly setting aside distracting thoughts, Chen Mu continued testing the functions of the system panel and found no significant changes compared to before. He was still able to use the system panel to comprehend the complete Daos of Creation and Time!

To fully comprehend these two Daos, it still required one hundred million Experience each.

For the current Chen Mu, having already achieved the status of Void Venerable, it’s much easier to accumulate one hundred million Experience for both the Creation and Time Lineages than before, at least within the Source Realm, resources like Source Stones are readily available to him.

"Comprehending the Creation Lineage isn’t much harder than the Void Lineage. Now that I’ve attained the status of Venerable, it won’t take too long to master Creation. As for the Time Lineage, it’s indeed more abstruse, and I’m unsure if it can be fully mastered before the Universe Silence."

Chen Mu pondered while looking at the data on the system panel.

There is still some time before the Universe Silence. During this period, using the system panel to master the Creation Lineage should be all but certain for him; only the Time Lineage poses more difficulty, requiring more extended effort.

In the vast universe, among the hundreds of Dao Venerables in a Reincarnation Era, typically only a dozen or so base themselves on the Void Lineage, and at most one or two on the Time Lineage.

Going back three Reincarnation Eras, many Venerables were also stuck before the Time Lineage, unable to comprehend the Dao of Time.

Among the hundreds of Dao Venerables, those who can master the Creation, Void, and Time Daos are exceedingly rare. They are basically the strongest under the four top Venerables like the Primordial Palace Master.

"With the Void as the foundation, let’s first grasp the essence of Creation."

Chen Mu set his course for forthcoming cultivation.

Having achieved the status of Dao Venerable, his sense of urgency has dissipated, and he has become more composed regarding cultivation. With the benefits of the system panel, although the Time Lineage is challenging to comprehend, as long as there’s sufficient time, he can master Time as well.

By comprehensively mastering the three Daos, even without fusing different Daos to cultivate Primordial Power, he can withstand the erosion of the Dao over ten Universal Cycles. Therefore, for Chen Mu, he still has a long ’Time’ ahead.

From rising from obscurity to achieving Venerable status, the time spent is insignificant compared to a single Universe Silence, just a small fragment in the vast River of Time.

"Before cultivating, there is one thing to do."

Chen Mu glanced at the system panel and suddenly recalled something, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

He cast his gaze from above the Nine Heavens, surveying the Endless Universe, his sight penetrating through infinite voids until it fell into the Abyss of Eternity deep within the universe, and further infiltrated, looking towards somewhere within the Abyss of Eternity.

...

Abyss of Eternity.

Depths.

A team composed of six Ninth Layer Heaven Divine Monarchs was exploring the depths, seeking an exit from the Abyss of Eternity.

All six Ninth Layer Heaven Divine Monarchs were at the initial stage of the Ninth Layer, their strength not particularly robust. Yet united, they could traverse unchallenged in the depths of the Abyss of Eternity, exploring with relative impunity. They only retreated in face of large gatherings of Ninth Layer Heaven Abyss Beasts; otherwise, they pushed through directly in most situations.

They were searching for the exit of the Abyss of Eternity, but because all six were of the Creation Lineage, lacking a Ninth Layer Heaven of the Void Lineage, their search was inefficient and slow, forcing them to wander and explore the depths gradually.

Among them,

the two figures in the middle of the team were old acquaintances of Chen Mu.

One, wearing a light silver Taoist robe, surrounded by strands of silver threads, exuding a powerful aura, was none other than Divine Monarch Ming Fan, while the other, cloaked in black, surrounded by surging Demonic Qi, was the Demon Ancestor of the Ancestral Demon Realm, Divine Monarch Mo Ang!

At this moment, the aura emanating from both Divine Monarch Ming Fan and the Demon Ancestor had reached the level of Ninth Layer Heaven.

To tell the story, achieving the Ninth Layer Heaven was indeed a stroke of fate for them. When they joined forces to chase down Chen Mu and eventually fell into the Abyss of Eternity with him, they were only at the standard of the Eighth Layer Heaven.

But within the Abyss of Eternity, after a period of hiding and escaping, they strayed away from the Molten Lava Cave, reaching another domain, where they quickly joined a force and subsequently made friends and discussed the Dao with many Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarchs within that force.

Owing to the calamity brought by Chen Mu, they mysteriously aligned with the Dao. In adversity lies fortune, and within fortune lies adversity; as a result, they each had serendipitous encounters, which allowed them to advance further in cultivation and reach the peak of the Eighth Layer Heaven.

Later,

with the descent of the End of Tribulation in the Universe, the Abyss of Eternity underwent changes, making it easier to comprehend the Dao. Many at the pinnacle of the Eighth Layer Heaven entered the Ninth Layer Heaven one after another. After a period of arduous cultivation, they finally used the momentum to step into this Realm.

Having achieved the Ninth Layer Heaven, naturally, they were unwilling to remain in the Abyss of Eternity. By this level, they had become Supreme Divine Monarchs; there were few threats left, and staying there would eventually lead to downfall with the End of Tribulation in the Universe. So, of course, they would leave for the outside universe, to have one last fight.

As for the threat of Chen Mu, they no longer regarded it.

Even though Chen Mu had already ascended to the Ninth Layer Heaven many epochs ago, attacked the Ancestral Demon Space Domain, and eradicated the entire Ancestral Demon Realm, they now had also reached the Ninth Layer Heaven. Even if Chen Mu had advanced further within this level, they eventually reached this Realm, and united, they no longer harbored much fear.
