Chapter 674: The Shock of Seeking Wood
Chapter 674: The Shock of Seeking Wood
Nan Hua Void.
Somewhere.
Deep within the bustling divine city, in a spacious pavilion, dozens of figures gathered.
Each of them exuded a powerful aura, appearing as ordinary mortals, but in truth, they were all Shen Li-infused divine lords, all at the Seventh Heaven level and above. Their gathering was a customary event that occurred once every few years.
These divine lords explored various secret realms and collected resources, often acquiring items they couldn't use themselves, which led to the need for exchanges and trade, hence the various gatherings.
Small gatherings often involved dozens of divine lords, while larger ones could attract hundreds or even thousands.
At this moment,
In a corner of this small gathering, several divine lords were discussing the recent events in the Zu Mo Kong Yu.
"The Mo Zu has been rising, acting without restraint, and finally provoked someone they shouldn't have. Their accumulation of calamities was destroyed in an instant."
Du E Shenjun shook his head and said, "Provoking the existence of Mu Divine Lord, not only did the Zu Mo Jie collapse, but the Mo Zu's divine lords may not have gained any benefits either. It seems that the 'Shang Mang Mojun's' Yin Guaxian has been wiped out, and this person has probably perished."
Mentioning Shang Mang Mojun, the nearby divine lords' eyes turned solemn.
On the day the Zu Mo Jie collapsed, two Mo Zu divine lords didn't have time to escape and were annihilated by Chen Mu. However, these two were ordinary Seventh Heaven lords who hadn't fled in advance and happened to encounter Chen Mu, so they had no chance of survival.
Shang Mang Mojun had left the Zu Mo Kong Yu long ago, and his whereabouts were unknown. He was a peak Seventh Heaven existence, and soon after the destruction of the Zu Mo Jie, he also perished.
To say that Shang Mang Mojun's demise had nothing to do with Chen Mu would be something no one would believe.
A Seventh Heaven peak divine lord had died like a bubble, and this news spread among the people, naturally causing shock in everyone's hearts. After all, most of the divine lords present were also only at the Seventh Heaven level.
"It's not just Shang Mang."
Another divine lord beside them spoke solemnly, "If my information is correct, the divine lords Ji Xie and Feng Mao have also likely perished. They were among those who besieged Mu Divine Lord in the past."
"Yes, Cang Shu Shenjun has also fallen."
Another sighed, "I've known Cang Shu for many years. I never thought he would make such a mistake, and with one wrong step, his cultivation of countless calamities turned to dust. It's truly lamentable... Although we've traveled far on this immortal path, we still can't see the end."
The divine lords discussed among themselves, cross-referencing information, and soon discovered that almost all divine lords who had conflicts with Chen Mu or had attacked him in the past had disappeared without a trace in a short time!
As expected,
This group of divine lords had all perished!
When this news spread, the dozens of divine lords at the gathering were shocked, and soon, the news spread from this gathering to all directions, quickly reaching every corner of the Nan Hua Void.
The Void Lineage, Mu Divine Lord, ascended to the Ninth Heaven, dominating the Zu Mo Kong Yu, and annihilating the Zu Mo Jie. In a short period, he consecutively eliminated Shang Mang, Ji Xie, Feng Mao, and many other divine lords. Except for Ming Fan and Mo Ang, whose whereabouts were unknown, the rest were all destroyed!
For a moment,
The entire Nan Hua Void was shaken!
Although it wasn't common for divine lords to perish, when it did happen, it didn't cause much of a stir. For example, when Jian Mu Shenjun fell, it didn't create much of a ripple, and the news quietly spread among some divine lords.
But this time, more than ten divine lords had perished in a short time at the hands of a single person. Moreover, this person had emerged from nowhere and reached the Ninth Heaven in just over a hundred epochs, becoming an awe-inspiring existence.
This news naturally shook the countless forces throughout the Nan Hua Void.
Ninth Heaven!
Since the birth of the Nan Hua Void, countless eons had passed, and only one Ninth Heaven divine lord, Nan Hua Master, had ever appeared.
Although, compared to the boundless void and the vast cosmos, there were countless void seats and innumerable Ninth Heaven lords, but in a single void, the Ninth Heaven lord was truly an unparalleled existence, surpassing even the divine lord overlords.
During the Boundless Star River incident, the various forces in the Nan Hua Void had first heard of Chen Mu. Now, they were even more shocked, especially after learning about the events that had occurred over the past hundred epochs.
Who could have imagined that a Ninth Heaven reincarnation would appear so abruptly?
If it had been another force, they might not have paid attention to a small, undeveloped world, and they could have easily overlooked Chen Mu, unknowingly provoking him, ultimately inviting their own destruction!
For a moment,
All the forces in the Nan Hua Void, and even the divine lords themselves, became more cautious in their actions.
……
The Da Xuan World.
Northwest.
In the past, the Seeking Wood was rooted in the northwestern border of the Da Xuan World, its vast canopy spreading like an umbrella, covering tens of thousands of miles of the sky. Its range was even larger than a state of the Da Xuan Dynasty.
But the Da Xuan World of today has undergone earth-shattering changes compared to the past. Its overall scope has expanded thousands of times compared to before, and after Chen Mu stepped into the Ninth Heaven, the Da Xuan World continued to expand further.
The Seeking Wood was once like a pillar supporting the Da Xuan World, but now, it is no longer significant. Today's Da Xuan World is clearly divided, with a mortal world and a celestial realm.
In the celestial realm,
There are countless Divine Realm existences.
Needless to say, in the mortal world, there are billions of common people, countless geniuses, and numerous powerful beings.
"Brother Seeking Wood."
At this moment, a calm voice sounded, and Chen Mu, dressed in a simple long robe, appeared before the main trunk of the Seeking Wood, addressing it.
On the massive trunk of the Seeking Wood, a wooden humanoid body twisted and coiled, bowing towards Chen Mu.
"Greetings, Divine Lord Mu."
Chen Mu waved his hand and said, "In the past, before I attained Dao, Brother Seeking Wood had given me a lot of help. I should still address you as Senior, but there's no need for such formalities."
However, Seeking Wood shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If a mortal transcends the immortal gate, then there is a distinction between the divine and the mortal. The same is true for the gate of a Divine Lord. Once you cross that step, you become the master of the true deities. Although I have helped a Divine Lord, I cannot overstep my boundaries."
In the past,
Before Chen Mu attained the realm of a Divine Lord, he could address Seeking Wood as Senior, and it would respond without hesitation. But after Chen Mu became a Divine Lord, he could no longer accept the title of Senior.
Seeking Wood was not fully aware of the affairs of the outside world and didn't even know about Chen Mu's 'Ninth Heaven Reincarnation'. However, as Chen Mu was a disciple of Jian Mu Divine Lord, and later achieved the realm of a Divine Lord himself, he inherited everything from Jian Mu Divine Lord. As a creation of Jian Mu Divine Lord, Seeking Wood naturally regarded Chen Mu as its master.
Moreover,
Seeking Wood vaguely knew that Chen Mu was no ordinary Divine Lord.
When Chen Mu suddenly came to find it today, although it didn't know what had happened, it had long held a sense of reverence for Chen Mu in its heart, no longer the same as before. It dared not show the slightest disrespect.
"Very well."
Seeing Seeking Wood's respectful attitude, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Recalling the distant past when he first met Seeking Wood, he was amazed and terrified by its existence. Later, as he gradually rose to power, he caught up with Seeking Wood, and the mystery surrounding it faded in his eyes.
After he became a Divine Lord, he could create beings like Seeking Wood, and his gaze had long turned towards the vast cosmos, no longer concerned with the trivial matters of the Da Xuan World. However, Seeking Wood had indeed helped him a lot in the past, so he always treated it with respect.
"I have indeed come here with something to discuss with Brother Seeking Wood."
Chen Mu said simply, "The three Divine Lords, Ji Xie, Feng Mao, and Cang Shu, who had attacked and killed Jian Mu Senior, have all perished. Only Ming Fan Divine Lord is still at large. I haven't found his traces yet, but he can't hide forever. Once I sense his presence, I will make his cultivation for naught, as an offering to Jian Mu Senior."
Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, Seeking Wood stood there in shock.
Ji Xie Divine Lord... is dead? And Feng Mao Divine Lord and Cang Shu Divine Lord as well?!
Seeking Wood still remembered that day when Ji Xie Divine Lord suddenly launched an attack on Jian Mu Divine Lord, breaking through the Cave Mansion Dimension he had created with a single move. A great battle ensued, causing the entire Cave Mansion Dimension to collapse and shatter.
They were all formidable Divine Lords at the peak of the Seventh Heaven, long-time enemies of Jian Mu Divine Lord, and had fought him on numerous occasions. They even conspired together to assassinate Jian Mu Divine Lord.
Not a single mistake, not a single move, not a single word, not a single look, not a single breath, not a single thought, not a single feeling, not a single action, not a single reaction, not a single response, not a single...!
But now,
in just over a hundred eras, these enemies who caused Jian Mu Divine Lord's demise have all perished?
Seeking Wood's cultivation was not high enough to discern the cause and effect of a Divine Lord's existence, but it was clear that Chen Mu would never lie to it, nor did he have any reason to deceive it. Since Chen Mu said so, it must be true.
Moreover, from Chen Mu's words, it was evident that all three Divine Lords had met their end at Chen Mu's hands. And from Chen Mu's calm tone, it seemed that this was no longer a matter of concern for him.
Even Ming Fan Shen Jun, as described by Chen Mu, was like a fugitive dog without a home.
Who was Ming Fan Shen Jun? He was the supreme God King of the Eighth Heaven, a truly renowned and powerful being. Seeking Wood had also heard of him before, and even Jian Mu Shen Jun was wary of Ming Fan Shen Jun.
But according to Chen Mu, Ming Fan Shen Jun didn't dare to show himself in front of Chen Mu. Otherwise, with his status as the overlord of the Eighth Heaven, it seemed that he couldn't even keep his life under Chen Mu's control!
The brief words from Chen Mu were enough to shock Seeking Wood to the core.
As Seeking Wood was still reeling from the shock and unsure how to respond, he heard Chen Mu continue, "Senior Jian Mu had created countless beings, most of which have perished, but a few still survive in various places and have been taken in by certain powers. I can retrieve them all, Brother Seeking Wood, do you wish to meet them again?"
"This..."
After hearing Chen Mu's words, Seeking Wood was still in shock and couldn't quite gather his thoughts. He hesitated for a moment before unconsciously saying, "Isn't this... isn't this a bit troublesome..."
"It's not a problem."
Chen Mu shook his head slightly and said, "It's just a simple task."
Seeing Seeking Wood's reaction, Chen Mu didn't ask further. He looked ahead into the void and suddenly reached out, pressing his hand forward. The entire void suddenly caved in, and a vast and majestic void vortex appeared!
...
In a distant void, within a cave mansion dimension.
This was a cave mansion belonging to a God King. A tree as white as jade stood rooted in the inner court of the cave mansion. It was one of Jian Mu Shen Jun's creations, a 'White Ti Tree', capable of producing 'White Ti Mystical Liquid', a resource that could nurture the spirituality of spiritual beings and refine divine weapons, enhancing their internal spirituality.
Suddenly, the sky above the cave mansion dimension, a clear and blue firmament, was shattered by a thunderous lightning strike. The void collapsed and a majestic void vortex appeared, its terrifying aura causing the entire cave mansion dimension to tremble. The countless spiritual beings within the dimension prostrated themselves involuntarily, their faces filled with fear and horror.
Swish!
In the deepest part of the cave mansion, a figure flashed into view, looking up at the void vortex in the sky. With just a rough sense of it, his expression changed dramatically.
The collapsed void vortex in the sky revealed nine distinct layers of the void!
The Ninth Heaven! And it was the work of a God King from the Void Lineage!
Zi Luo Shen Jun immediately recognized the visitor and was horrified. Without hesitation, he bowed and said, "I am Zi Luo. I have met with Mu Shen Jun. What brings you here, Mu Shen Jun?"
The void vortex spanned the heavens, and from within, Chen Mu's calm voice echoed, "The White Ti Tree is a creation of Jian Mu Shen Jun. Jian Mu Shen Jun has a karmic debt of gratitude towards me. Now that Jian Mu Shen Jun has perished, I will reclaim his creations."
Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, Zi Luo Shen Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He respectfully explained, "When Jian Mu Shen Jun was besieged by several others, I sensed the disturbance and went to observe, but I did not interfere. This White Ti Tree was left behind when Jian Mu Shen Jun's cave mansion dimension collapsed. I happened to pick it up from the void..."
"Hmm."
Chen Mu acknowledged with a faint response, and then the void vortex paused briefly. An invisible giant hand suddenly extended and cut off the entire area where the White Ti Tree was located, lifting it up to the sky and disappearing into the vortex.
The vortex then quickly dissipated, and everything returned to calm.
As Zi Luo Shen Jun watched Chen Mu's aura disappear, he finally let out a breath of relief. His eyes still held a hint of shock and fear. Fortunately, when he had witnessed the siege of Jian Mu Shen Jun by others, he had not interfered or taken advantage of the situation. He had only picked up a small benefit from the sidelines. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to gain any favor today.
Although he was a peak God King of the Seventh Heaven, he was nothing compared to Chen Mu, a supreme existence of the Ninth Heaven. The news of the fall of Jie shu, Jie shu, and Cang Shu had reached his ears not long ago, leaving him secretly shocked for a long time. He had even felt that the White Ti Tree was becoming a burden, causing him constant anxiety.
But in the end, he couldn't just throw the White Ti Tree back into the void.
That would have been completely futile.
Now that Chen Mu had taken the initiative to retrieve it, not only did he not feel any loss, but he also felt relieved. Finally, this troublesome karmic entanglement had been peacefully resolved, and he had not been dragged into it.
