Chapter 607: Ten Thousand Points
Chapter 607: Ten Thousand Points
Chen Mu initially thought that Fusang wouldn't have many resources left by Jianmu Divine Lord, but he never imagined the sheer magnitude. With just a cursory assessment, he realized that these resources were worth at least several million Vangu Tokens.
However, according to Fusang, the resources he had taken were not even one percent of Jianmu Divine Lord's original stash.
This was just a small cache set up by Jianmu Divine Lord, as it didn't contain many resources and was well-hidden, thus avoiding the attention of Divine Lord entities. As a result, Chen Mu was able to quietly retrieve them.
As for Jianmu Divine Lord's other caches, they had likely been divided up and claimed by those Divine Lords long ago.
"Divine Lords are indeed Divine Lords..."
Chen Mu took the numerous resources from Fusang, examining each item carefully, and couldn't help but marvel.
Divine Lord entities were truly extraordinary, especially Jianmu Divine Lord, who was an ancient and powerful Seventh Heaven Divine Lord. Having existed for thousands of Eons, it was natural that he had amassed countless resources over such a long period.
These resources were of little use to Jianmu Divine Lord, but for Chen Mu, they were exactly what he needed. Aside from the many Void Dao relics and Time Dao relics that could aid him in comprehending the Void and Time Mystiques, the Creation Dao relics alone were worth several million Vangu Tokens!
Even if he couldn't use most of these relics, he could still exchange them for Vangu Tokens in Vangu Palace. Several million Vangu Tokens were more than enough to acquire any Divine Power Secret Art he desired.
Additionally, among the various caches Fusang gave him, there were also high-grade relics.
Life Spirit Jade!
This Spirit Jade was born from the foundation of Life Mystery and All-Life Essence, and it could serve as the primary material for refining Mid-Rank Divine Armaments, and even as a base material for refining Superior Divine Armaments. Furthermore, it could aid in the comprehension of Life Mystery and All-Life Essence, as it was partially formed from life and all-life itself.
As a Creation Dao relic involving the Convergence Essence, its value was naturally extraordinary. It was priced at a whopping two hundred thousand Vangu Tokens in Vangu Palace. Chen Mu had always coveted this relic, as it would significantly enhance his efficiency in comprehending Mystique Fusion.
Previously, Chen Mu didn't have enough Vangu Tokens, even if he exchanged all his resources. Now, without needing to make a trade, he had acquired this very relic.
Swish.
Chen Mu flipped his hand, taking out the Life Spirit Jade and examining it closely. He couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
When he desired this relic, it seemed out of reach. But after he gave up and decided to comprehend Life Mystery and All-Life Essence on his own, the relic effortlessly fell into his hands.
Chen Mu didn't rush to study the Life Spirit Jade. Instead, after accepting all the resources Fusang gave him, he asked Fusang, "Brother Fusang, do you have any plans? If not, why not stay in my world? It may be small, but it has everything you need."
Aside from the resources Fusang brought, which were left by Jianmu Divine Lord, Chen Mu would still invite Fusang to settle in the Great Xuan World, even if he came alone.
As a Divine Lord's creation, like Xunmu, Fusang's rank and status were more powerful than Xunmu's. He could rival a Sixth Heaven Divine Realm, and being a tree-like spirit, if he took root in the Great Xuan World, he could further stabilize the void and promote its expansion.
However, upon hearing Chen Mu's invitation, Fusang remained silent for a moment before declining.
"When the Lord was attacked, the Mansion Realm collapsed, and countless lives perished or scattered across the void. I must search for the Lord's other legacies and his disciples... If I can find them, I will bring them here."
Jianmu Divine Lord had dedicated his life to studying Life and All-Life Dao, creating countless lives. When the Mansion Realm collapsed, countless creations, like Xunmu, were swept into the void's chaos. Xunmu was lucky to be thrust out from the void's depths, landing within the Vangu Void, near the Great Xuan World, and later meeting Chen Mu.
The situation with Jianmu Divine Lord's other creations might not be as fortunate as Xunmu's. Some might have sunk deep into the void, unable to escape, and be eroded and annihilated. Others might have perished during the Mansion Realm's collapse.
Those who survived, like Xunmu, were an extreme minority.
Even if they were an extreme minority, Fusang wasn't willing to give up. He was determined to search for these possibly living sentient beings. To him, they were not only fellow creations of Jianmu Divine Lord but also like brothers.
After hearing Fusang's words, Chen Mu contemplated for a moment before advising, "Your master was ambushed and fell. Those Divine Lords are eyeing your master's position. Within the Vangu Void, they dare not act recklessly. But if they leave the Vangu Void and go to other domains, they will have no restraints. If they discover you, it will be difficult to escape. It's better to stay here."
Fusang, however, shook his head.
"What joy is there in life, and what sorrow in death? Life and death are but a process, like the rising and setting of the sun and moon. Now that you have inherited the master's legacy, you will become the rising new sun in the future, and that is enough."
Fusang didn't wait for Chen Mu to say more. He turned and walked away, disappearing beyond the Great Xuan World and into the void.
Chen Mu watched this scene, unable to persuade Fusang further, and could only sigh softly.
With Jianmu Divine Lord's fall, everything related to him was in peril. As the saying goes, no egg remains unbroken under a collapsed nest. Those who caused Jianmu Divine Lord's demise would surely seek to eliminate his disciples and creations.
Fusang intended to search for Jianmu Divine Lord's other creations. If they remained unnoticed, it would be fine. But if the major enemy forces discovered them, without the protection of a Divine Lord, they would likely face death and demise.
"Fusang..."
Xunmu watched Fusang leave, murmuring softly.
Fusang was actually born much later than Xunmu and was one of Jianmu Divine Lord's later creations, but he was also the most perfect one. Consequently, he held a unique and distinct status under Jianmu Divine Lord.
When Jianmu Divine Lord secluded himself, Fusang took charge of everything. Despite being the youngest, he held the highest position.
Xunmu understood Fusang's temperament well. Once he made a decision, he wouldn't look back. Since he had already decided to continue searching for Jianmu Divine Lord's other creations, no amount of persuasion would change his mind.
Could it be that the master has truly fallen?
Xunmu's eyes gazed at the sky of the Great Xuan World.
Before today, he had never believed that Jianmu Divine Lord would fall. But now, with the news brought by Fusang, he knew that the chances of Jianmu Divine Lord still being alive were probably very slim.
Xunmu immersed himself in an indescribable sadness. After some time, his emotions gradually calmed, and he looked around, sensing the vibrant life force of the Great Xuan World.
The current Great Xuan World, although far less prosperous than Jianmu Divine Lord's Mansion Realm in its heyday, was like the dawn's sun, brimming with vigorous vitality and burgeoning upwards.
"With the master's remaining resources, he should be able to attain the Divine Lord realm..."
As Xunmu looked around, Chen Mu's figure was nowhere to be seen. Xunmu knew that Chen Mu had gone to cultivate again.
Xunmu was most familiar with Chen Mu's talent and potential. Even without any resources, relying solely on his own comprehension, he had a high chance of becoming a Divine Lord in the future. Now, with a portion of Jianmu Divine Lord's legacy, his progress would undoubtedly accelerate.
After recovering from his sadness, Xunmu also understood their current situation. There was enmity between Chen Mu and the Demon Race. Now, as a disciple of Jianmu Divine Lord, Chen Mu had become entangled with the Divine Lords who caused his master's demise, making the situation extremely dangerous!
Even though Chen Mu had the power of the Sixth Heaven and the protection of Vanggu Divine Lord, with so many Divine Lord-level enemies surrounding him, there was no way he could find peace.
The only solution was for Chen Mu to become a Divine Lord!
Only by breaking through the Seventh Heaven and ascending to the Divine Lord realm, while being under the protection of Vanggu Divine Lord, would Chen Mu have a chance to protect himself and not be in the precarious situation he was in now.
...
Chen Mu didn't know what Xunmu was thinking, but he knew that at this moment, he had only one direction to focus on.
Attain the Divine Lord realm!
With the many resources left by Jianmu Divine Lord, Chen Mu's comprehension of the fusion of life and the All-Life Essence would greatly accelerate!
At this moment, Chen Mu had already calmed his mind. He didn't plan to send this Life Spirit Jade to his Divine Energy Incarnation. He didn't need to do that. As long as he focused his thoughts on the Divine Energy Incarnation, leaving only a portion to keep an eye on the Dark Abyss, he could allocate the rest of his mental power to the Interface Clone and comprehend the Mystique Fusion from there.
Chen Mu's thoughts moved, and he summoned the System Panel.
【Mystique Fusion: Life - All-Life Essence】
【Experience: 41,928 points】
In just over a thousand World Years, his Mystique Fusion progress had significantly improved. Now, he had accumulated a total of over forty thousand points. At this rate, even without the resources Fusang provided, he could completely comprehend the fusion of life and All-Life Essence and break through the Seventh Heaven to attain the Divine Lord realm within three thousand World Years.
And now, with the abundant resources sent by Fusang and the wondrous Spirit Spirit Jade, his cultivation efficiency would further improve.
Without much hesitation, Chen Mu closed the System Panel and lowered his head, focusing his attention on the smooth and translucent Spirit Spirit Jade in his hand. He carefully examined it.
The Spirit Spirit Jade, formed by the fusion of Life and Ten Thousand Spirits Mystique, appeared like a piece of green jade, translucent and lustrous. It seemed like jade, yet it was as if a pool of spirit liquid, smooth and gentle.
With a slight perception, Chen Mu sensed the rich life force and the fullness of the Ten Thousand Spirits' power within it.
However...
This was what surprised Chen Mu.
With such a dense life force and the abundance of Ten Thousand Spirits' wisdom energy, this Spirit Spirit Jade should have transformed into a 'Sentient Being' state, not an inanimate object.
Yet, this Spirit Spirit Jade was so extraordinary that despite being essentially composed of life and Ten Thousand Spirits, it showed no signs of becoming a sentient being, maintaining a silent state.
When life flourishes to a certain extent, it inevitably gives birth to life, even in the form of flames, water, thunder, and more, which can also transform into sentient beings.
When the Ten Thousand Spirits become strong enough, they inevitably nurture wisdom, and even water and fire, after transforming into life, can possess the ability to think and comprehend the Great Dao.
However, the Spirit Spirit Jade, a fusion of both, presented itself as a purely inanimate object, astonishing Chen Mu while deepening his understanding of the Mystique Fusion.
Although he had already gained some insights into the fusion of Life and Ten Thousand Spirits Mystique, the appearance of the Spirit Spirit Jade still amazed him. He realized that the fusion of life and Ten Thousand Spirits could manifest in such a marvelous form!
Life and Ten Thousand Spirits had achieved a balance, merging while also restraining each other, ensuring that the Spirit Spirit Jade could neither transform into a sentient being nor give birth to wisdom.
"The fusion of Mystiques doesn't necessarily manifest the fundamental essence of Mystique; various changes can occur during the fusion process, not limited to the Mystique itself."
Chen Mu murmured to himself.
Indeed, the acquisition of the Spirit Spirit Jade significantly enhanced his efficiency in comprehending the Mystique Fusion.
In just a hundred World Years, Chen Mu accumulated nearly four thousand experience points, an efficiency and speed he had never achieved before!
Under these circumstances, Chen Mu naturally devoted all his energy to comprehending the Spirit Spirit Jade.
If it weren't for the task of guarding the Dark Abyss, which required at least one era of continuous effort, Chen Mu would have considered abandoning it to focus entirely on comprehending the Spirit Spirit Jade.
Even with his Interface Clone, the efficiency remained extremely high.
Time passed, and a thousand World Years went by in a flash.
These thousand World Years were as uneventful as the previous ones, and nothing significant happened in the entire Vanggu Void.
Including the Dark Abyss, which remained stable during these thousand World Years, with only a few appearances of deep abyssal life, mostly within the area guarded by Chen Mu, who swiftly eliminated them.
Great Xuan World.
Heavenly Palace.
Deep within the innermost region, in a palace, Chen Mu's Interface Clone sat cross-legged, with the Spirit Spirit Jade floating before him.
"Living yet not living, dead yet not dead, the wisdom of non-action, the spirit of non-action..."
Chen Mu seemed entranced, staring at the Spirit Spirit Jade as if in a daze, occasionally muttering to himself.
Time passed, and the trance and daze in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a glimmer of light, as if he had seen through everything.
Chen Mu exhaled softly.
He knew that for him, achieving a complete understanding of the Life and Ten Thousand Spirits Mystique was still a distant goal. What he had comprehended so far was only a small fraction.
But this small fraction was enough.
With a thought, Chen Mu summoned the System Panel.
[Mystique Fusion: Life - Ten Thousand Spirits]
[Experience: 100,000 points]
A full 100,000 experience points appeared silently on the panel.
