Chapter 639: The Boundless Star River
Chapter 639: The Boundless Star River
Deep within the Vangu Palace.
Chen Mu and the incarnation of the Vangu Divine Lord sat facing each other, with a chessboard between them. On the board, the pieces representing 'Cause' and 'Effect' intertwined, weaving countless threads.
"Mao Ang and Ming Fan, standing tall for countless years in the Eighth Heaven, have some tricks up their sleeves, even if they haven't made much progress in a long time. It's fortunate that you managed to surpass the threshold of the Eighth Heaven; otherwise, facing both of them would have been extremely dangerous."
The Vangu Divine Lord placed a piece on the board, speaking in a calm tone.
Chen Mu's rapid advancement to the threshold of the Eighth Heaven in such a short time had also surprised the Vangu Divine Lord. In fact, he had made thorough preparations and arrangements, even placing a powerful incarnation of himself in the Void River, ready to intervene at any moment should an unexpected situation arise, offering aid to Chen Mu.
However, the turn of events left him astonished. In the face of crisis, Chen Mu directly unleashed the power of an Eighth Heaven cultivator, taking on four peak Seventh Heaven Divine Lords, including Shang Mang, and still maintaining the upper hand in a one-against-four battle.
Even after the intervention of the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan, two supreme rulers of the Eighth Heaven, Chen Mu was still able to escape calmly.
"It was just a stroke of luck. Without the Heavenly Mirror from Vangu Palace, I would have struggled to break through the Eighth Heaven's limitations."
Chen Mu took a sip of spiritual tea and placed a piece on the board, speaking casually.
The Vangu Divine Lord smiled and said, "Divine Armaments are just external tools. The key to reaching the Eighth Heaven lies in your foundation and depth. If you can comprehend the power of Triple Mystic Fusion, you might even surpass Mao Ang and Ming Fan, leaping directly to the peak of the Eighth Heaven."
At this point,
The Vangu Divine Lord couldn't help but scrutinize Chen Mu's eyes.
Being well-informed about Chen Mu's background, he had never believed that Chen Mu was the reincarnation of a Legendary Divine Lord. After all, Chen Mu seemed to know almost nothing about the vast void, and many secret cultivation techniques were learned from the Vangu Palace.
If Chen Mu were indeed the reincarnation of a Legendary Divine Lord, he would have kept many things extremely secret. It would have been difficult for anyone to notice Chen Mu's abnormalities before he achieved the status of a Divine Lord, unlike the current situation where everything seemed out of place.
But the question was, if Chen Mu wasn't the reincarnation of a Legendary Divine Lord, could he truly break through the Eighth Heaven in just a few tens of thousands of World Years?
As things stood,
The Vangu Divine Lord's heart was filled with uncertainty.
However, he didn't dwell on these thoughts for long. No matter what, the stronger Chen Mu became, the more mysterious and powerful his background seemed, which was beneficial to the Vangu Divine Lord. After all, their current situation was one of mutual destruction.
"Triple Mystic Fusion..."
Upon hearing the Vangu Divine Lord's words, Chen Mu's mind wandered slightly.
Indeed, he had already begun to comprehend Triple Mystic Fusion. After understanding all the characteristics of Convergence Esoteric and Extension Mystic through their mutual fusion, his progress in comprehending Triple Mystic Fusion wasn't slow.
Based on the current situation, even with the most basic comprehension efficiency, he could gather the experience required to penetrate Triple Mystic Fusion through the System Panel in about one Epoch. Then, he could use the System Panel to directly point to the essence of the Dao.
One Epoch to comprehend Triple Mystic Fusion.
If this news got out, ancient Divine Lords like Shang Mang would find it hard to believe.
As the Vangu Divine Lord said, Chen Mu also believed that if he could successfully comprehend Triple Mystic Fusion and cultivate the complete Universal Divine Technique, followed by gathering some resources to engrave deeper esoteric patterns on the Heavenly Mirror, his strength might truly surpass ancient Eighth Heaven rulers like the Demon Progenitor, leaping directly to the peak of the Eighth Heaven!
At that time, in the vast void, he wouldn't just possess the ability to protect himself; he would truly be able to shake the entire Southern Huashan Void Seat! Even the top powers in the entire Southern Huashan Void Seat would be reluctant to provoke a peak Eighth Heaven Divine Lord Tyrant. Just like the previous status of the Vangu Divine Lord, who controlled a vast number of resources in the adjacent void secret realm of the Vangu Void, none of the nearby powers dared to challenge him.
It was only now, with the Vangu Divine Lord's Divine Energy Incarnation trapped in a dangerous place and unable to escape, that various forces began to stir, eyeing the abundant resources in the Vangu Void.
"How are you holding up? Do you need my assistance?"
The Vangu Divine Lord placed a piece on the board and asked Chen Mu directly.
"Not yet. Let me play with them for a while longer."
Chen Mu replied calmly.
At this moment, his Divine Energy Incarnation was still engaged in a chase and battle with the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan. Although he couldn't match these two ancient Divine Lord Tyrants, he could handle their various tactics during the pursuit.
Battles between Divine Lord-level beings often lasted for thousands or even tens of thousands of World Years, sometimes spanning several Epochs. Unless there was a significant disparity in strength, it was challenging to determine a winner in a short time, and such battles usually became wars of attrition.
Currently, the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan were working together to hunt down Chen Mu. They weren't sure about Chen Mu's Divine Energy consumption, and if his recovery couldn't keep up with the depletion, their combined efforts might still be able to suppress him. However, this consumption and recovery process was often difficult to discern in a short time at the Divine Lord level, and it would take some fighting to make a clear judgment.
The current situation was that Chen Mu's Divine Energy recovery rate was almost equal to his consumption rate while facing the pursuit of the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan. This meant that even after fighting for dozens of Epochs, Ming Fan and the Demon Progenitor couldn't do much to harm him. Naturally, Chen Mu wasn't in a hurry, and he didn't intend to seek assistance from the Vangu Divine Lord.
After all, the Vangu Divine Lord's trump cards were limited, and not using them was the greatest deterrent.
"Good. With you holding them back, I'll take care of the Vangu Void."
The Vangu Divine Lord nodded slightly after hearing Chen Mu's words.
With Chen Mu restraining the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan, most other forces chose to remain neutral. Even with the Demon Race joining forces with Xue Xie, Feng Mao, and other Divine Lords, they couldn't pose a threat to the Vangu Void, which was guarded by Chen Mu.
...
No one knew that Chen Mu and the incarnation of the Vangu Divine Lord were leisurely playing chess within the Vangu Palace.
The various powers surrounding the Vangu Void only knew that a battle between Divine Lord Tyrants was unfolding in the vast void. The Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan had joined forces to hunt down the newly emerged 'Mu Divine Lord' from the Vangu Void, and the battle was exceptionally intense. It started from the void rift, spread to various secret realms, and eventually reached deep into the void.
Despite Chen Mu's obvious disadvantage in this chase, unable to match the combined might of two Divine Lord Tyrants and forced to retreat and flee, the means he displayed still shocked all the powers in the void!
The Eighth Heaven!
This young figure, who was not well-known tens of thousands of World Years ago, had surpassed the threshold of the Eighth Heaven in just a few tens of thousands of World Years, leaving countless ancient Divine Lords far behind!
Especially when the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan seemed unable to truly defeat Chen Mu, the various powers and Divine Lords in the void were even more astonished, sensing the rise of an extraordinary figure!
No.
It wasn't a gradual rise to power; many ancient Divine Lords believed that Chen Mu was likely the reincarnation of an ancient legendary Divine Lord who had once ascended to the Ninth Heaven and was now merely retracing the path of his previous life!
Under the starry canopy, there were those who coveted, those who were greedy, but more so, there was fear—fear of Chen Mu.
If Chen Mu's strength had remained at the Seventh Heaven, perhaps many Divine Lords would have been unable to resist and would have made their move, hoping to obtain the remnants of the legendary Divine Lord of the Ninth Heaven from Chen Mu.
But Chen Mu had already transcended the Eighth Heaven. If his previous life had been a Divine Lord of the Ninth Heaven, one could only imagine the cards he held. If they truly fought against Chen Mu and failed, they would undoubtedly be provoking a formidable enemy who might return to the Ninth Heaven in the future.
This made many ancient Divine Lords hesitate.
Moreover,
The Divine Lords of the Seventh Heaven couldn't easily interfere in Chen Mu's battles. Only the tyrants of the Eighth Heaven might be able to intervene, but among the numerous void domains adjacent to the Vanggu Void, there were only a dozen or so such tyrants.
The prolonged battle between Chen Mu, the Demon Progenitor, and Ming Fan Divine Lord was Chen Mu's longest since he achieved the Divine Realm. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of world years had passed.
In the boundless void,
Please...You....Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
In the depths.
This place was far from the Vanggu Void and even beyond the Southern Huashan Void Seat. It was a remote, distant void seat.
Chen Mu's figure hid in the depths of the void, strolling through this place. This was his interface clone, and after thoroughly incorporating the Great Xuan World into his body and completing the Human-World Union, his interface clone quietly left the Vanggu Void, moving away from the land of strife.
"Heaven's Edge Throne..."
Chen Mu didn't approach any particular void domain but instead concealed himself in the deep void between domains. He knew that the place he was in was called the Heaven's Edge Throne, ruled by the Heaven's Edge Lord, a legendary Divine Lord of the Ninth Heaven. It was said that he had deep conflicts with the Southern Huashan Divine Lord, and they had fought more than once.
Chen Mu wasn't interested in the disputes between the Heaven's Edge Lord and the Southern Huashan Divine Lord. His interface clone had come to the Heaven's Edge Throne solely to stay away from the Vanggu Void and temporarily avoid the land of strife, seeking a quiet place for cultivation.
Even though leaving his interface clone in the Vanggu Void would provide a powerful fighting force, Chen Mu still preferred to play it safe. He hid his interface clone deep within the Heaven's Edge Throne, ensuring that even if something unexpected happened in the Vanggu Void, it wouldn't affect this place.
"They are indeed relentless in their pursuit."
Chen Mu's interface clone sat cross-legged in the depths of the void, humming lightly.
Hundreds of world years had passed, and the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord were still chasing after his Divine Energy Incarnation. However, after enduring the prolonged battle, the situation in the Vanggu Void had become much more stable.
During this time, no one had tried to interfere in his battle, and most major powers chose to watch from the sidelines. With both the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord restrained by Chen Mu, no one dared to provoke the Vanggu Divine Lord.
At this moment, Chen Mu's thoughts stirred, and he summoned the system panel.
【Mystic Fusion: Convergence, Extension, Infinity】
【Experience: 3913 points】
To complete the fusion of three mystics, one million experience points are required.
Even though his Divine Energy Incarnation had been restrained and couldn't delve into the mysteries of the Void Dao during this time, his interface clone had gained thousands of points of experience by traveling through the void and gaining insights along the way.
While one million experience points seemed far away, it was only the accumulation of hundreds of world years for Chen Mu, who wouldn't consider even tens of thousands of world years, or several epochs, as a long time.
This efficiency was already more than sufficient.
After glancing at the experience points on the system panel, Chen Mu dismissed it with a thought and turned his gaze towards the distance. At the edge of his vision was a dazzling starry river!
This was a famous mystic realm in the Heaven's Edge Throne, known as the Boundless Star River. It was said to be vast and expansive, even larger than the entire Heaven's Edge Throne, with no end in sight!
Although it was a mystic realm located within the Heaven's Edge Throne, its spatial expanse was more extensive than the entire Heaven's Edge Throne itself. This seemed unbelievable, but it was the truth—the mysteries of the Void Dao were indeed profound.
The Boundless Star River consisted of countless layers of space.
Chen Mu's interface clone had come here for two reasons: to stay away from the conflicts of the Southern Huashan Void Seat and to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Void Dao in this vast and expansive realm, where one could find a secluded corner and remain undisturbed for eons.
"If the interior of the Void River is extremely dangerous, with countless void passages leading to various unknown perilous lands, making it an extremely turbulent mystic realm, then the Boundless Star River is its opposite—an extremely stable mystic realm."
Chen Mu gazed at the vast Boundless Star River, a faint light flashing in his eyes.
Compared to the Void River, the Boundless Star River was indeed much more stable. Its spatial structure was also extremely stable. The Vangu Palace had intelligence on the Southern Huashan Void Seat and dozens of surrounding void seats, including some information about the Boundless Star River.
It was difficult to discern much from the intelligence alone, but upon arriving here, Chen Mu gained a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the Void Dao. Although the composition of the Void River and the Boundless Star River was similar, both based on 'Extension' and 'Infinity' with the integration of various other esoteric powers, one was extremely unstable, while the other was incredibly stable.
"The Void Dao is also filled with opposition, just like the opposition between life and death in the Life Esoteric. In the deeper layers, it both unifies and differentiates, like the Division Mystic and Convergence Mystic..."
Chen Mu stared at the vast starry river, murmuring softly, soon immersing himself in the mysteries of the void.
