Chapter 645: Stability
Chapter 645: Stability
Upon hearing Chen Mu's response, Peng Yu smiled kindly and then called out to the distance.
"Peng Yi, take Lord Mu to the inner city and choose a cave abode."
"Yes."
A figure draped in a green robe appeared, first responding respectfully to Peng Yu, and then bowing to Chen Mu, "Lord Mu, please follow me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Chen Mu glanced at the green-robed figure, Peng Yi, and with just one look, he discerned that Peng Yi's life essence had not yet reached the level of a Divine Lord. At most, he was at the limit of the Sixth Heaven. However, Chen Mu was not surprised.
Although the Endless Abyss was dangerous, and survival for those below the level of a Divine Lord was nearly impossible, it didn't mean there were no beings below that level. After all, Divine Lords could create life from nothing, and Peng Yi was one such creation.
Within the vast Inferno City, aside from the thousands of Divine Lords, there were also countless other beings of various kinds. Some were puppets or creations of the Divine Lords, while others were natives of Inferno City.
Inferno City,
Despite being called a city, its scope was so vast that it was comparable to the Great Xuan World. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a super-large world, and within such a vast world, there were naturally all sorts of life forms.
"Lead the way."
Chen Mu nodded slightly to Peng Yi.
Peng Yi bowed respectfully once more and then led the way in front of Chen Mu.
Inferno City, being a Superior Divine Armament with a high position and supporting a world, exerted immense pressure on the void within. It was nearly impossible to use void-traversing techniques here.
Of course, with Chen Mu's current cultivation at the Eighth Heaven Threshold, breaking through the constant suppression of Inferno City was effortless. He could even destroy the world's essence if he wanted to, but there was no need for that.
The world within Inferno City was known as the Flame Forge Realm, a world inclined towards flames and fire. The entire world had an extremely high temperature, and although countless life forms were born here, most of them had red skin and were fire-attributed.
The current Chen Mu had lost interest in observing these lower-level beings in detail and didn't pay them much attention. Following Peng Yi, he flew swiftly, and in just a moment, they crossed half of the Flame Forge Realm and arrived at the inner city in the center.
Inner City.
Although it was called a city, it was a world with an even higher position, somewhat similar to the Celestial Palace within the Great Xuan World. Only those above the Divine Realm were qualified to reside here.
As Chen Mu and Peng Yi flew across the sky, many beings looked up, but they quickly averted their gazes, their eyes filled with reverence.
Only those with special status or Divine Lords of the Eighth Heaven level would dare to fly so boldly above the inner city.
Within the inner city of Inferno City, there were thousands of Divine Lords. These Divine Realm beings were revered by countless ordinary beings in the lower realms, but here, even those who had cultivated to the Sixth Heaven were cautious and dared not act recklessly.
Peng Yi led Chen Mu to the central area of the inner city and said respectfully, "Lord, these cave abodes are unoccupied. You may choose any one you like."
Although they were called cave abodes, they were actually towering mountain peaks. However, for a Divine Lord, altering their appearance and manipulating their various manifestations were basic abilities.
"This one will do."
Without hesitation, Chen Mu chose the nearest mountain peak and landed on it.
The entire mountain was a fiery red, giving off a scorching heat. However, Chen Mu remained calm, casually waving his sleeve, and in an instant, the mountain peak lost its redness and transformed into a lush green peak. In a flash, countless lush trees took root and sprouted from the mountain, and vines extended, quickly infusing the entire peak with vibrant life.
Peng Yi witnessed this scene with a calm expression. He had served more than one Divine Lord, and their abilities could change the world with a snap of their fingers. Transforming a mountain peak was not unusual.
"Alright, I've decided on this place. You may leave now."
After slightly altering the scenery of the mountain peak, Chen Mu spoke to Peng Yi.
Peng Yi had intended to ask Chen Mu if he needed any Divine Realm servants, but after hearing Chen Mu's words and witnessing his abilities, he guessed that Chen Mu was likely from the Creation Lineage, a Divine Lord skilled in the direction of life and all spirits. Such Divine Lords could effortlessly create intelligent life and had no need for outside servants.
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Peng Yi bowed respectfully once more and quickly departed.
As Peng Yi left, Chen Mu retracted his gaze and casually strolled along the verdant mountain peak. The mountain's interior underwent another dramatic transformation, and numerous cave chambers were created.
After creating a series of chambers within the mountain, Chen Mu finally stopped and stepped into the mountain's interior, where he sat down in the deepest part of the central chamber.
Once seated,
Chen Mu's gaze deepened as he swept his eyes around, then he retracted his aura and closed his eyes.
At that moment, the divine consciousness and perception that had been probing from all directions were suddenly cut off, unable to penetrate the mountain's interior or gather any further information about Chen Mu.
...
In a primitive and crude cave chamber elsewhere,
A figure sat cross-legged, his black hair wild and unkempt, his bare chest exposed, resembling an uncivilized savage. However, his aura was profound, and his divine energy was as thick as that of Vanggu Divine Lord.
He was one of the leaders of the Flame Sun Sect at the peak of the Eighth Heaven, Gen Jun.
"Lord Mu?"
"Just at the Eighth Heaven Threshold... Vanggu personally going out should not be this simple."
Gen Jun rested his chin in his hand, his expression thoughtful.
The Eighth Heaven Threshold was not weak, but it wasn't particularly strong either. These Divine Lords had not comprehended the Triple Mystic Fusion; they had merely relied on their profound foundation and understanding of the Dual Mystic Fusion to barely reach the Eighth Heaven. However, they were still inferior to the true Eighth Heaven Divine Lord Tyrants.
Furthermore, these figures at the Eighth Heaven Threshold had not comprehended the Triple Mystic Fusion in the outside world. Falling into the Endless Abyss, a barren land devoid of resources, made it even more challenging to comprehend the Triple Mystic Fusion.
If I can't advance further, it's really not worth mentioning.
However, Chen Mu had reached the threshold of the Eighth Heaven, and he was clearly someone who had already established a connection with Vanggu Divine Lord outside. There was even a possibility that he was a descendant of Vanggu Divine Lord, so it made sense for Vanggu Divine Lord to personally make the trip to bring him back to Inferno City.
...
In a luxurious palace.
Graceful figures danced and sang, and the music they played seemed to contain the sound of the Great Path. Merely listening to a few melodies was enough to immerse oneself in it.
Deep within the palace, a figure clad in a black and gold robe leaned against an exquisite couch, his eyes closed as he listened intently. After a while, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he had heard something else.
"The threshold of the Eighth Heaven, neither here nor there."
Mo Yue Divine Lord muttered to himself, then shook his head slightly, dismissing Chen Mu from his thoughts.
As one of the leaders of the Flame Sun Sect, he was naturally curious about the person Vanggu Divine Lord had personally brought back. But upon learning that Chen Mu had barely reached the threshold of the Eighth Heaven, his interest waned.
In the Endless Abyss, there is no beginning nor end. Only by ascending to the Ninth Heaven can one attempt to find a way out. Below the Ninth Heaven, survival is the ultimate pursuit.
Chen Mu, who had barely reached the threshold of the Eighth Heaven, had not yet fully grasped the Triple Mystic Fusion. Although he seemed to have reached the Eighth Heaven, he was still far from the pinnacle of the Eighth Heaven, making him an insignificant figure. It wasn't worth Mo Yue Divine Lord's time to personally visit and befriend him.
Please...You....Collect...6...9...Books...!
Moreover,
Chen Mu seemed to be from the Void Lineage, which further diminished Mo Yue Divine Lord's interest.
Mo Yue Divine Lord cultivated the Creation Lineage. If Chen Mu were a Creation Lineage Divine Lord who had mastered the Triple Mystic Fusion, he might have been interested in befriending him and discussing the Dao together, hoping to mutually validate their paths. But Chen Mu held no such value for him.
In the Endless Abyss, there were no resources to be obtained. To gain insights and break through the bottleneck of the Ninth Heaven, one could only rely on exchanging insights with fellow Divine Lords from the same lineage, hoping to gain some enlightenment.
...
In the Boundless Star River.
Chen Mu stood deep within the starry canopy, gazing at a special cluster of stars.
His Divine Energy Incarnation in the Endless Abyss had settled down in Inferno City. As a Divine Lord Tyrant of the Eighth Heaven, although he had barely crossed this threshold, many Seventh Heaven Divine Lords had sent him invitations, eager to visit and befriend him.
In addition to these, there were also over ten Eighth Heaven Divine Lords who actively sought him out for conversation. However, compared to the enthusiasm of the Seventh Heaven Divine Lords, these Eighth Heaven Divine Lords seemed more reserved.
Strength is revered, whether in the mortal world or the vast universe. It is an unchanging rule.
Due to the vastness of the Endless Abyss, among the thousands of Divine Lords gathered in the Flame Sun Sect, only he and Vanggu Divine Lord were from the Nan Hua Void Seat. Thus, no one knew of his deeds.
Vanggu Divine Lord would naturally not reveal Chen Mu's deeds in the Vanggu Void, such as the rumors of him being a reincarnation of a Ninth Heaven Divine Lord, as it would only cause unnecessary trouble. Chen Mu, of course, would not spread such information either.
The Endless Abyss was filled with dangers, so finding a temporary haven and gaining some time to cultivate was crucial for Chen Mu.
As for Ming Fan Divine Lord, the Demon Progenitor, and others, they might have fallen into the Lava Caverns, but Chen Mu temporarily put them out of his mind.
The Lava Caverns were vast and expansive. Without Vanggu Divine Lord's guidance, it would have taken Chen Mu several epochs of aimless wandering to stumble upon the Flame Sun Sect.
Furthermore,
The Lava Caverns were not solely occupied by the Flame Sun Sect.
According to Chen Mu's knowledge, there were hundreds of factions within the Lava Caverns, eight of which rivaled the Flame Sun Sect in power. One of these factions was even led by a legendary Ninth Heaven Divine Lord!
There were numerous Ninth Heaven Divine Lords in the Endless Abyss, but not all of them could successfully escape, and not all of them wished to leave.
The Lava Caverns were incredibly vast, making it difficult to predict when Chen Mu might encounter the Demon Progenitor and Ming Fan Divine Lord again.
"..."
Chen Mu stared at the starry river before him, the faint glow in his eyes gradually fading.
He had declined the enthusiastic invitations from the Divine Lords of the Flame Sun Sect. His Divine Energy Incarnation was currently in secluded cultivation deep within his cave abode, while most of his focus was on his Interface Avatar, observing the transformations of the stars before him.
In his line of sight, a fiery star stood at the center, surrounded by dozens of stars orbiting it.
This sight was not unfamiliar to Chen Mu. Even in his past life on the Blue Planet, he had known about the movement of the stars and their principles. Now, he was using this knowledge to validate the fundamental mysteries of the Void Dao.
The stars attracted each other, and the essence of this attraction was the distortion and transformation of the void. It was a complex manifestation of the Void Mystic, involving the fusion of various mysteries. Ordinary mortals could never fathom this essence in their lifetime, but Chen Mu, with his insight, saw not just the swirling stars but the entire distorted void.
"Aggregation, Extension..."
"This distortion on the void level is centered around aggregation and extension, and its influence extends infinitely outward, encompassing 'infinity'. Although the effect weakens with distance, it is indeed infinite."
Chen Mu muttered to himself.
For him, thoroughly understanding these complex mysteries and their fundamental intricacies, analyzing every subtle detail, and perfectly integrating them was still a distant goal. He lacked the necessary inspiration.
But whether he had that inspiration or not didn't matter. As long as he gained insights, continuous insights, the experience on the system panel would naturally accumulate, eventually leading to a qualitative change.
With the Vanggu Void temporarily stabilized and his Divine Energy Incarnation secure, Chen Mu would dedicate the next tens of thousands of world years, even several epochs, to wholeheartedly comprehending the Triple Mystic Fusion of the Void Lineage, striving to take that crucial step forward!
