Chapter 601: Spreading News
Chapter 601: Spreading News
Inside the Vangu Temple.
"Sixth Heaven already? So fast."
Taichen, the temple lord, opened his eyes and sighed as he gazed towards the direction of the Dark Abyss.
He was well-informed about Chen Mu's background and knew that Chen Mu had reached the Divine Realm in less than two thousand World Years. Such a short time to attain the Sixth Heaven, even with the attention and care of the Vangu Divine Lord, was only possible with an exceptionally high foundation and talent.
Taichen had no doubt that Chen Mu would ascend to the Sixth Heaven, and even reach its peak, becoming an invincible existence below the Divine Lord, was a certainty.
Only the threshold of the Seventh Heaven's Divine Lord might pose some obstacles for Chen Mu.
Indeed, Chen Mu's cultivation speed was astonishing. Was this the depth of an existence born from an uncultivated world, the first to break free from the heavens' constraints, and possessing ten portions of Divine Energy foundation?
Ten portions of Divine Energy foundation, though only one more than nine, likely still made a qualitative difference.
As the temple lord of the Vangu Temple, Taichen had seen and heard much, but among the hundreds of voids near the Vangu Void, he had not heard of anyone with ten portions of Divine Energy foundation except for Chen Mu. He had only heard of such existences in more distant and vast universes.
And now, the Vangu Void had produced one.
The question remained: how long would it take for Chen Mu to reach the Sixth Heaven's limit and how many years would it take for him to attain the Divine Lord realm?
...
After Chen Mu revealed his Sixth Heaven strength, news about him spread like wildfire within the Vangu Temple.
Many Divine Realm cultivators in the Vangu Temple were not overly surprised by this news. When Chen Mu first joined the Vangu Temple, they had already recognized his extraordinary abilities and even then considered him a Sixth Heaven existence.
However, this news was not limited to the Vangu Void; it began to spread to other distant voids.
...
Jinglan Void.
In the depths of darkness within the void, a pair of gigantic eyes, stretching for thousands of miles, slowly opened.
The owner of these eyes gazed towards the direction of the Vangu Void.
"The Vangu Void's Realm Sovereign? Sixth Heaven in just two thousand World Years?"
"Not bad."
He was one of the Divine Lords of the Jinglan Void, and ordinary Sixth Heaven cultivators were beneath his notice. Only those who surpassed the peak of the Sixth Heaven, reaching the brink of invincibility below the Divine Lord, could catch his attention.
A newcomer like Chen Mu, who had just crossed the threshold of the Sixth Heaven, was not even known to him. But this time was different; Chen Mu's speed in reaching the Sixth Heaven was astonishing, taking only two thousand World Years!
"Vangu is indeed lucky to have nurtured such a remarkable talent."
Aolong Divine Lord hummed softly in his heart, and his eyes slowly closed again.
He naturally did not wish for the Vangu Void's power to grow, but the Vangu Divine Lord was not someone to be trifled with. A formidable Eighth Heaven peak Divine Lord, he was a sovereign in the hundreds of voids nearby.
...
Miti Void.
In a realm similar to the Great Xuan World, within a bustling city, a monk walked with a fan in hand, his chest and belly exposed, wearing straw sandals, and a smile on his face as he strolled through the lively streets.
Suddenly, he halted.
In that instant,
Everything in the city froze, and all movement came to a standstill.
Only the monk remained unaffected, his gaze fixed on the distant sky, as if traversing the endless void. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, "The Vangu Void has given birth to another extraordinary figure."
After speaking,
He pinched his fingers with his left hand, and a faint trace of cause and effect seemed to flow between them. A smile then appeared on his face.
"Oh, and he has also formed a grudge with the Demon Race. Excellent, excellent."
As the Miti Void's lord, he held a strong dislike for the Ancestor Demon Void and the Demon Race. Unlike the Vangu Divine Lord, who commanded respect and distance, the Ancestor Demon Void and the Demon Race often clashed with his Miti Void.
Now, with the birth of an extraordinary figure in the Vangu Void, one who might very well attain the Divine Lord realm in the future and had formed a grudge with the Demon Race, he was naturally eager to meet this person.
"The Demon Race, harassing and abducting across realms, will inevitably invite cause and effect."
The Miti Divine Lord gently waved his fan as he spoke.
Cause and effect were the fundamental mysteries of the Creation Lineage and an integral part of the Endless Universe.
Like the Demon Race, relying on their strength to abduct and expand recklessly, they could seize vast resources and rapidly inflate their power, but this would also inevitably invite dire cause and effect in the unseen.
The demon race was well aware of this, but they didn't care. Cause and effect weren't the only fundamental rules in the universe; as long as one's power was vast and formidable enough, they could ignore all cause and effect.
Previously, the demons had provoked a formidable enemy, who fought them for nearly an era. This was the consequence of their wanton actions, but that enemy's power was only on par with the Vangu Divine Lord. While they could fight the entire demon race, they weren't strong enough to annihilate it, and eventually, they retreated.
...
News about Chen Mu spread quickly, reaching the ears of Divine Lords in various domains near the Vangu Void.
The demons had suffered a significant setback in the Vangu Void, intending to test the Vangu Divine Lord's strength. They had underestimated him and suffered minor losses, so they naturally didn't want to reveal the details to other domains. They even concealed the cause and effect, hiding all information about the Great Xuan World.
After all, they had been defeated by the Vangu Divine Lord, so they saw no reason to share their losses with other domains. Other neighboring domains were also secretly observing the Vangu Divine Lord, hoping to uncover his true capabilities.
However, as news of Chen Mu's display of Sixth Heaven power in the Dark Abyss spread throughout the Vangu Void and slowly reached other domains, information about him gradually emerged.
Usually, the more information one had, the easier it was to deduce the cause and effect, and the more one could infer. But with only a few clues, it was often challenging to unravel all past events.
Cause and effect investigations weren't all-powerful.
Only extremely powerful beings could deduce everything about someone just from their name, tracing the cause and effect.
The endless universe was vast, and each domain was immense. News spread quickly within a domain but much slower across domains.
By the time news of Chen Mu gradually reached dozens of domains near the Vangu Void, over two hundred world years had passed since he revealed his Sixth Heaven power.
...
Dark Abyss.
Chen Mu closed his eyes, delving deep into the void. Within the void, waves of creation power surged, transforming into streams of creative force that flowed into his body, tempering his divine energy.
Displaying the power of the Sixth Heaven threshold didn't bring much change, except that the Wing King and other Sixth Heaven beings from the Vangu Void actively sought him out for conversation and friendship.
These conversations didn't take place in the Dark Abyss but through incarnations in the Vangu Palace.
After all, the Dark Abyss needed to be guarded, and they couldn't abandon their duties.
Over two hundred world years passed quietly, and Chen Mu had long since fully comprehended the Creation Mystery. He was now cultivating the third layer of the Multifarious Divine Technique.
After an unknown period, the creation power surging in the void gradually calmed.
Bathed in the creation power, Chen Mu's entire body glowed with a golden hue, exuding a sacred and majestic aura. His body seemed to radiate a golden light, like a blazing sun hanging in the sky.
As time passed, this intense radiance gradually subsided, and soon all traces of his presence were concealed within. He reappeared in his original form, wearing a simple black robe and sitting cross-legged in the void.
Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.
"Hmm."
He exhaled softly and summoned the System Panel to take a look.
【Divine Power Refinement Technique: Multifarious Divine Technique (Third Layer)】
【Experience: 0 Points】
After comprehending the Creation Mystery, he finally completed the third layer of the Multifarious Divine Technique, further enhancing his divine power. With his understanding of creation power, he had taken a solid step forward, significantly improving his strength! Chen Mu clenched his fist, feeling the vast divine energy within. A hint of joy flashed across his face.
He could tell that with his current power and control over creation energy, even without relying on divine armaments, he was almost at the peak of the Sixth Heaven.
(Chapter End)
Chen Mu assessed his current level.
The Peak Sixth Heaven was not easily measured by a simple act of breaking through the void. The general standard was to be able to defeat a Sixth Heaven entity within a hundred moves. Like that Abyssal Life before, it had reached the threshold of the Sixth Heaven with its abilities, but in reality, its life force wasn't particularly strong. Compared to a typical Divine Realm being, it was even more fragile.
Nevertheless, in Chen Mu's estimation, if he could defeat that Abyssal Life in ten moves, then destroying the Divine Power True Body of a Sixth Heaven entity within a hundred moves would be absolutely achievable. This was undoubtedly the standard of the Peak Sixth Heaven.
At this level, one could already roam freely below the Divine Lord.
Even those who had almost reached the limits of the Sixth Heaven, claiming to be invincible below the Divine Lord, would find it impossible to easily crush a Peak Sixth Heaven existence without crossing the threshold of the Seventh Heaven.
It could be said that as long as a Divine Lord didn't take action, there was no risk of his Divine Power True Body being destroyed. Even if a Divine Lord did take action, they could only destroy his Divine Power True Body at most. To annihilate all his incarnations from afar, even a Peak Seventh Heaven would find it difficult.
However, Chen Mu wasn't overly delighted by this.
There were power gaps between Divine Lords, and the Eighth Heaven was much stronger than the Seventh Heaven, being the overlord among Divine Lords. If an Eighth Heaven Divine Lord were to target him, even with one of his incarnations residing within the Vangu Temple, protected by the Vangu Temple and the Vangu Divine Lord, it might not be enough to withstand the power of an Eighth Heaven Divine Lord!
The most immediate threat was... the Demon Race had an Eighth Heaven Divine Lord!
Of course.
If the Demon Race were to openly attack him in front of the Vangu Divine Lord, attempting to annihilate all his incarnations through the Vangu Temple, it would undoubtedly infuriate the Vangu Divine Lord, who would retaliate by slaughtering the descendants of the Demon Race.
Aside from Divine Lords of the Seventh Heaven and above, no one in the Demon Race could withstand the slaughter of the Vangu Divine Lord.
However, even with this, entrusting one's life to others was far from having control over one's own destiny. Therefore, Chen Mu remained eager to break through the Seventh Heaven and ascend to the Divine Lord.
He couldn't help but summon the System Panel again.
[Convergence Mystery: Life - Ten Thousand Spirits]
[Experience: 680 points]
Once the Life and Ten Thousand Spirits Mysteries were fused, he would quickly be able to cultivate the final layer of the Spirit Birth Divine Art. At that time, he would also take a step across the threshold of the Seventh Heaven and ascend to the Divine Lord.
However, the efficiency of this fusion was indeed too slow.
A long time had passed since he arrived in the Dark Abyss, and while he was comprehending the various mysteries of the Creation Lineage, he hadn't neglected the fusion of mysteries. Yet, the accumulated experience was still only over six thousand points.
The required ten thousand points of experience for the fusion of mysteries seemed like a distant goal.
Chen Mu's thoughts shifted, and he switched to another interface.
This was the comprehension interface of the Creation Great Dao, and among the five branches that split like a towering tree, four were already completely lit up, shining with brilliant golden light, leaving only the last one still in a dim and unilluminated state.
[Cause and Effect]
[Experience: 4781 points]
This was the last remaining mystery of the Creation Lineage.
Once he comprehended the Cause and Effect Mystery, fully grasping all five fundamental mysteries of the Creation Lineage, his strength would undoubtedly advance even further. Perhaps he couldn't cross the threshold of the Divine Lord, but he would definitely reach the limits of the Sixth Heaven.
"Once I comprehend the Cause and Effect Mystery, I will have mastered all five mysteries of the Creation Lineage. This is equivalent to understanding the foundation of the Creation Lineage. With this as a basis, when I comprehend the fusion of mysteries, the efficiency will definitely increase greatly..."
Chen Mu muttered to himself.
He wanted to enhance his strength with the fastest efficiency and speed.
In his current understanding, if he could master all five mysteries of a lineage, it would undoubtedly increase the efficiency of fusing mysteries. Only by understanding thoroughly and grasping each brick and tile could one build a better tower.
However, he wasn't sure how much this efficiency could be increased.
If it wasn't fast enough, he was also considering starting to cultivate the Void Lineage simultaneously, comprehending its five mysteries, and spending thousands of World Years to master all five mysteries of the Void Lineage.
By doing so, his strength would also significantly increase, and perhaps he could forcefully cross the threshold of the Seventh Heaven!
