Chapter 618: Over a Thousand World Years
Due to the lingering intimidation of Vanggu Divine Lord, no one dared to make another move to test the waters until they understood the method behind that powerful strike. They all wished to avoid exposing their identities before Vanggu Divine Lord.
After Chen Mu eliminated numerous Abyssal Lives with a single finger snap, the surge of the Dark Heaven Tide, deliberately incited by the Lord of Sorrow, finally began to subside. Although more Abyssal Lives continued to emerge, including some at the Sixth Heaven Apex, they were all swiftly eradicated by Hong Lin and Chen Mu, who had now freed their hands to fight.
Soon, as time passed, the number of Abyssal Lives surging from the Dark Abyss gradually decreased. This indicated that the Dark Heaven Tide was finally nearing its end.
Eventually, the number of Abyssal Lives emerging from the Dark Abyss dwindled to almost none. After several months, not a single one appeared. Hong Lin, Wing King, Hongming Lord, and others regrouped.
This time, their gathering was not for confronting the Dark Heaven Tide but for distributing the spoils from the battle.
Everyone had their own share of the spoils from slaying the Abyssal Lives. Even Wing King, Hongming Lord, and others had their own gains. The resources they obtained from individually slaying Abyssal Lives did not need to be redistributed. What was worth distributing were the odd relics and resources gained from their collective efforts in slaying numerous Abyssal Lives.
"Everyone, our combined efforts have yielded a total of thirteen odd relics and resources, which are worth about 300,000 Vangu Tokens. According to our previous agreement, I and the Vangu Palace will take nothing. All will be distributed among you..."
Hong Lin narrated, glancing at Chen Mu, then continued, "Based on everyone's contributions, Chen Lord will take seven parts, and the rest of you will share three parts. Do you have any objections?"
Wing King and the others exchanged glances and quickly responded, all without any objections.
The final spoils from resisting the Dark Heaven Tide would not be evenly distributed but according to their strength and contributions. Clearly, their collective effort was far less significant compared to Chen Mu or Hong Lin. Chen Mu taking seven parts was seen by them as a slight advantage, and they even wondered if Chen Mu would agree.
"If Hong Lin also participated in this distribution, she would take a larger share, and the rest of us combined might only get one part. However, Hong Lin had already stated beforehand that she would not take any resources."
"I have no objections."
Chen Mu nodded casually at Hong Lin's distribution plan.
In reality, apart from the resources distributed among everyone, he had individually slain a large number of Abyssal Lives, gaining nine different odd relics. Although some were quite common and of low value, others were worth over 20,000 Vangu Tokens, totaling more than 100,000 Vangu Tokens.
If he had not yet reached the Seventh Heaven or before obtaining Jianmu Divine Lord's legacy, he would have fought for every bit of resources. But now, with Jianmu Divine Lord's legacy, even a fraction of his former treasury far exceeded the resources any Sixth Heaven Divine Lord could possess.
Moreover, he had already reached the Seventh Heaven and found it much easier to seek out odd relics, making tens of thousands of Vangu Tokens insignificant. At least a million Vangu Tokens would be required to make him truly interested.
"Very well."
Seeing Chen Mu had no objections, Hong Lin breathed a sigh of relief. She was not concerned about whether Wing King and others had objections to the resource distribution, but only cared if Chen Mu was satisfied.
She did not take out the odd relics for distribution but directly allocated Vangu Tokens from the Vangu Palace. Everyone received their share, though each received only about ten thousand Vangu Tokens, which was still a significant gain. This made them all smile.
After all, the Dark Heaven Tide lasted only a few World Years, and they had gained tens of thousands of Vangu Tokens without facing any life-threatening dangers. This was a highly rewarding outcome.
Even Molten Fire Lord and others, who received only a few thousand Vangu Tokens, found it a pleasant surprise and were quite satisfied.
"Hong Lin, with the Dark Heaven Tide now over, the Dark Abyss should remain peaceful for some time. I have gained a lot this time, so I will end my task of guarding the Dark Abyss here."
After the distribution, Chen Mu proactively spoke to Hong Lin.
The task of guarding the Dark Abyss had no strict limitations. He no longer needed to observe the Dark Abyss to gain insights, and it was more important to focus on fully mastering the last layer of the Spirit Birth Divine Art.
After mastering it, he would delve into the Mystic Essence of the Void Lineage and the Time Lineage, which did not require observing the Dark Abyss. He had various odd relics from Jianmu Divine Lord, covering all types of the Void and Time Lineages. Using these relics to understand different Mystic Essences would undoubtedly be much more efficient.
"Very well."
Hong Lin was not surprised by Chen Mu's words. After all, he had gained a significant amount, 210,000 Vangu Tokens, which could be exchanged for a substantial amount of resources at the Vangu Palace.
After everyone received their shares, they quickly dispersed. Some continued to guard the Dark Abyss, while others left to return to the Vangu Void. Chen Mu also returned with them.
...
Time flowed by, and soon a thousand World Years had passed.
In the Great Xuan World, Chen Mu sat cross-legged in the sky, a peculiar crystal floating before him. It was a Void Stone.
This Void Stone was not the one he had obtained from the Dark Abyss but one of Jianmu Divine Lord's legacies, containing the Mystic Essence of 'Expansion.'
After the Dark Heaven Surge, over a thousand world years passed, and Chen Mu's Divine Power True Body had been in seclusion, cultivating the Spirit Birth Divine Art. Meanwhile, his interface Battle Body was utilizing the abundant resources left by Jianmu Divine Lord to comprehend the various mysteries of the Void Lineage.
A thousand years had gone by,
Even though most of his energy was focused on cultivating the Spirit Birth Divine Art, Chen Mu had already comprehended two fundamental mysteries of the Void Lineage: 'Splitting' and 'Consolidation'. He was currently in the process of understanding the third mystery, 'Expansion'.
For Divine Lord existences, mastering three Primordial Daos and fifteen fundamental mysteries was merely the foundation of their cultivation.
Why was it that beings at the Sixth Heaven Limit, with strength already close to the Seventh Heaven Threshold, could barely hold their own against those at the Seventh Heaven Threshold, yet were still far from being on par with true Divine Lords? It was because true Divine Lord existences never lingered at the Seventh Heaven Threshold. Their vision and level were far more profound, allowing them to comprehend all the fundamental mysteries given enough time, resulting in an extremely deep foundation and robust root.
The achievements of True Deities at the Sixth Heaven Limit were all within the capabilities of Divine Lord existences.
And so, Chen Mu was gradually filling in these foundations, comprehending the mysteries of the Void Lineage one by one.
He sat at the edge of the Great Xuan World, his eyes filled with a hint of perplexity. From time to time, he extended his fingers, drawing in the void, causing layers of void to split, forming different spaces. These spaces then consolidated, attempting to create something from nothing and expand outward.
However, this expansion ultimately failed, only causing a slight distortion and ripple before subsiding.
"Still a bit short, huh."
Chen Mu's eyes regained some vitality as he stared at the changes in the void, then shook his head slightly and summoned the system panel.
【Expansion】
【Experience: 671 points】
On the system panel, among the mysteries of the Void Lineage, he had already comprehended Splitting and Consolidation, and now the third mystery, Expansion, had accumulated 6,700 points of experience, just a short distance from the 10,000-point goal.
Compared to other Divine Lord existences, his efficiency in comprehending these fundamental mysteries was much higher. They might take thousands or even tens of thousands of world years to comprehend a single Void mystery, but with the experience accumulation of the system panel, Chen Mu only needed a few hundred world years, and that was with most of his energy focused on cultivating the final layer of the Spirit Birth Divine Art.
Just as Chen Mu's interface Battle Body was pondering over the system panel,
Suddenly,
His expression paused, and then a smile appeared.
He held the Void Stone in his hand, closed his eyes, and at that moment, in the vast void, in a remote corner, Chen Mu's Divine Power True Body opened his eyes.
Chen Mu took a deep breath, sensing the changes in his body, and then with a thought, he summoned the system panel.
The panel displayed not the progress of his comprehension of the Void Dao, but the cultivation progress of the Spirit Birth Divine Art.
【Divine Power Refinement Technique: Spirit Birth Divine Art (Third Layer)】
【Experience: 100,000 points】
The experience value of the Spirit Birth Divine Art had accumulated to a full 100,000 points!
Breaking through from the third layer to the fourth layer was the final stage of the Spirit Birth Divine Art's cultivation, requiring a total of 100,000 experience points. Over the past thousand world years, Chen Mu had diligently cultivated, and finally, on this day, he had acquired the necessary experience!
"Finally..."
Chen Mu looked at the system panel and exhaled softly.
After comprehending Mystic Fusion, he would be able to cultivate a Shenjun-level Divine Power Refinement Technique, which would be a significant boost for any existence, including himself.
Even though he had comprehended two fundamental mysteries of the Void Lineage in a thousand years, it was only a slight enhancement to his foundation. Compared to the Seventh Heaven level, it was insignificant. Only by cultivating a Shenjun-level Divine Power Refinement Technique could he achieve a substantial increase in his Divine Body's strength, propelling his power forward and crossing the threshold of the Seventh Heaven, entering the ranks of the Seventh Heaven's strong!
In the vast universe, the more shattered void layers, the more profound the realm. The path to strength became increasingly difficult, with each step presenting countless challenges. Most Divine Lord existences were only at the ordinary Seventh Heaven level, with only a few reaching the Seventh Heaven Apex. Advancing further to enter the Eighth Heaven was even rarer.
Chen Mu was well aware of this, so he didn't set his sights too high. He planned to steadily enhance his strength, first entering the ranks of the Seventh Heaven's strong, possessing the strength of a typical Divine Lord, and then aiming for the Seventh Heaven Apex and even the Eighth Heaven.
"Let's begin."
With sufficient experience accumulated, Chen Mu didn't hesitate. With a thought, he chose to enhance his strength on the system panel.
Boom!
In an instant, a torrent of Creation Power surged, engulfing Chen Mu like a tidal wave.
This flood of Creation Power was enough to effortlessly annihilate a major world.
However, Chen Mu was currently behind the Sixth Layer of Void, where the void was incredibly dense. Even this surging Creation Power only caused a small ripple in the vast void, it seemed insignificant.
Whoosh!
The surging Creation Power transformed into the powers of Life and Ten Thousand Spirits, merging and fusing in the void to form a mighty force that poured into Chen Mu's body, tempering every ounce of his Divine Power and every trace of his life imprint.
Chen Mu could feel his Divine Body undergoing a profound transformation.
