Daxuan Wusheng: Start by practicing and adding points

Chapter 644 Molten City

A red lava cave, inside an extremely open mountain cave.

The Fan Gu God looked like an ordinary old man, with white hair and beard, holding a plain bamboo stick. He walked over from a distance. After arriving at this cave, he looked at Chen Mu in the cave and said with a smile:

"My dear Chen, I never thought that our reunion would come so early."

In fact, Chen Mu and he had always had incarnations staying in the Fan Gu Temple and talking to each other, but the reunion he mentioned was not the reunion of the incarnations, but the reunion of the true body of divine power. It can be said that this is the first time he and Chen Mu have met in the true sense.

As early as when he took action to expel the Demon Lord Shangmang and save the Daxuan world, he judged that with Chen Mu's talent, he would definitely become a God Lord in the future. However, at that time, his divine body had already fallen into the Endless Abyss, and he had no idea when he could escape. He never thought that Chen Mu would reunite with his divine body.

What he had originally envisioned was whether a few of his disciples could become God Lords, and then Chen Mu could also become a God Lord. In this way, the power of the Fan Gu Airspace would be able to grow a little, thus sharing some of the pressure for him.

But the development of things is always beyond expectations.

He was shocked by the speed of Chen Mu's cultivation. In the beginning, he was even thinking about how to cultivate Chen Mu. He did not directly give Chen Mu rare resources that would help him in his cultivation. He also wanted Chen Mu to accumulate knowledge and then make a breakthrough, and to consider Chen Mu's future efforts to become a God. However, he never thought that Chen Mu had already become a God without his help.

After achieving the status of a God, Chen Mu's progress in cultivation was still incredibly fast. In just tens of thousands of years, he reached the threshold of the Eighth Heaven. This even made him doubt that Chen Mu might really be the reincarnation of a God of the Ninth Heaven.

but,

Even at that point, he had never expected that he would meet Chen Mu in the Endless Abyss.

Chen Mu was hunted down by the Demon Ancestor and the God Lord Mingfan, and finally fell into the endless abyss together with the two of them, which also shocked the God Lord Fan Gu. As if it was a cause and effect in the dark, the area where Chen Mu fell happened to be a lava cave!
"The path of cultivation leads to the same destination. Senior Fan Gu and I are both on this path, so naturally we will converge sooner or later."

After hearing what Lord Fan Gu said, Chen Mu also gestured to Lord Fan Gu.

"well said."

Upon hearing this, Lord Fan Gu couldn't help but smile and said with emotion: "The great road has different paths but the same destination. Even though the vast universe is endless, as long as we keep moving forward on this immortal road, we will eventually meet at the top."

Chen Mu also nodded slightly.

Different realms, different levels, and naturally different perspectives. When he first walked out of the Daxuan world and stepped into the Fangu space, he only felt that the space was vast, the universe was endless, and full of all unknowns.

But now, he has become a god and reached the eighth heaven. His sights are already on the ninth heaven, and even on the great Dao masters at the pinnacle of the universe. As long as he goes to the end of this road, they will eventually converge at the center of the vast universe.

"Let's go, follow me to the Molten City of the Yanyang Society. Although this lava cave is not very dangerous, you can get rid of most of it as long as you are careful enough. But it will be too inconvenient to be alone."

Lord Fan Gu did not talk to Chen Mu for too long. After all, the two of them, incarnations in the Fan Gu Palace, had been talking to each other about the lava cave and the Endless Abyss for some time.

"it is good."

Chen Mu responded simply and followed Lord Fan Gu.

During this period of time, he has also experienced the inconvenience of being in the lava cave. He has to remain vigilant almost all the time and cannot relax at all. After all, no one knows whether there are abyss beasts wandering behind the rock layer.

Although with his strength, the Abyss Beasts of the Seventh Heaven could not threaten him, and the Abyss Beasts of the Eighth Heaven also needed a certain number to pose a sufficient threat, but because he was not sure when the Abyss Beasts would appear, and what their number and level would be, he had to be vigilant at all times. After all, even if the lava cave belonged to the relatively stable 'shallow' area, it was only relative.

It is quite normal for dozens of eighth-level abyss beasts to suddenly appear.

Swish.

Following Lord Fan Gu, the journey became much smoother.

Chen Mu finally witnessed the strength of Lord Fan Gu, the overlord of the eighth heaven. Although he was under great pressure to deal with various forces in the Fan Gu airspace, his true divine power was still rampant in the lava cave.

Occasionally they would encounter some eighth-level abyss beasts blocking the way along the way. If Chen Mu had acted alone before, he would basically retreat immediately and try to avoid fighting. However, Lord Fan Gu would attack bravely, forcibly repel all the abyss beasts, and then continue to move forward.

After all, there is still a big gap between the threshold of the Eighth Heaven and the peak of the Eighth Heaven.

At least for Lord Fan Gu, who is at the peak of the Eighth Heaven, even if he is alone in the lava cave, there are very few situations that can threaten him. Even if he encounters the Abyss Beast of the Ninth Heaven, he is sure to escape.

soon.

Chen Mu followed Lord Fan Gu and came to a very strange cave.

This cave is extremely vast, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, like a strange cylinder. There is a dark abyss above, and there is also a dark abyss below, both of which are bottomless!
"This is the passage leading to different levels in the lava cave. You probably haven't seen it with your own eyes yet."

Lord Fan Gu stated simply.

Chen Mu now came to the edge of the cave. He first looked up at the darkness above him, only to find that he could not see the end. It was even more difficult to perceive the situation inside through the void.

He didn't know how to describe the power of the void here. It was not in a chaotic state, but it was not orderly either. A more precise statement was that it was like an orderly void with some other different forces sandwiched in it, including fate and time!
The mixture and fusion of different great powers makes the void here difficult to predict and even difficult to shake!

then,

Chen Mu lowered his head and looked downwards again, and saw the same bottomless darkness.

"From here, we will reach the 19,742nd floor of the Lava Caverns?"

"good."

Fan Gu Divine Lord nodded slightly and said, "There are almost no Abyss Beasts near this passage, so it is a safe place, but you can't stay here for too long. Once you stay here for too long, the void here will undergo some strange changes, which will attract a large number of Abyss Beasts. Even a Divine Lord of the Ninth Heaven will find it difficult to resist."

Chen Mu nodded slightly after hearing this. He also knew this. It seemed that this was one of the special rules of the Endless Abyss, preventing living beings from casually exploring these passages across different "layers".

"Let's go."

Lord Fan Gu did not urge Chen Mu too quickly, but he did not wait too long either. After Chen Mu observed the passage for a moment, he took the initiative to speak to Chen Mu, and at the same time took a step forward and stepped into the passage.

After a brief thought, Chen Mu calmed his mind, took a step forward, and followed closely in the hand of Lord Fan Gu.

hum!
As soon as he stepped into the passage, Chen Mu immediately felt something different.

Originally, in his perception, this passage should be extremely deep, stretching for billions of miles, and it can be said to be bottomless. But when he really stepped into it, he found that he was like breaking through the water surface and entering a pool. The "water" in the pool was the power of the void, and it was a kind of void power that he could not understand. This kind of void power seemed to have its own life, surging and flowing like blood, directly engulfing him in it.

Wow.

In just a short moment, Chen Mu was swept away by the torrent of the void.

The moment he rushed out of the passage, Chen Mu steadied his body. He saw Lord Fan Gu standing not far away, and an equally spacious lava cave. It looked almost the same as before, but there were still some differences in the details.

"Let's go."

Seeing Chen Mu's slightly solemn expression, Lord Fan Gu seemed not surprised by this reaction. He just smiled casually and sighed, "The road to the divine realm is long and arduous. For people like me and Chen Xiaoyou, in a certain space, we are already above countless divine realms, making them look up but unable to reach us. However, in this lava cave, it is difficult to explore everywhere."

"When I first came to the Lava Cave and crossed this passage, I was just like you, trying to figure out the void structure inside the passage. However, despite my long years of comprehension and understanding of the void, I still cannot fully understand the mystery within."

After hearing what Lord Fan Gu said, Chen Mu's expression calmed down a little. He shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly either, but the power of the void in that passage is not simple. I'm afraid it's not just the power of the void, but also a fusion of different mysteries of the avenues."

"good."

Lord Fan Gu nodded slightly and said, "Different great ways and different mysteries can blend together. It is almost unimaginable. At our level, we are far from understanding it."

After he finished speaking, Lord Fan Gu did not linger for long and immediately fell into the deep void passage below.

Chen Mu followed closely behind.

Swish.

In a moment, Chen Mu followed the God Fan Gu, crossed four void passages in succession, and finally landed in a completely different cave. In this cave, there was no passage extending downwards, but only a road that led back the way he came.

Inside the Endless Abyss, the structure of the void channels spanning different layers is very complex and not completely connected. In some places, there are void channels that connect several layers of structure at the same time, while some channels only connect the upper and lower layers.

Lord Fan Gu had a calm expression. After stepping out of the void passage, he waited for Chen Mu to land. After seeing Chen Mu, he stepped forward, changed direction, and quickly flew towards the lava cave.

Chen Mu didn't stay long and followed immediately.

Lord Fan Gu had crossed nearly eight thousand layers of lava caves to find him. Now, with him, he only needed to return along the same route. Lord Fan Gu was naturally familiar with the route.

In fact, Chen Mu already had a detailed map of the lava cave, which was also a gift from Lord Fan Gu. However, since Lord Fan Gu was leading the way, he naturally didn't need to spend too much time on it. He just verified the map and reality in his mind one by one.

……

Time flies by.

The Endless Abyss is vast and full of dangers. Although Chen Mu and Lord Fan Gu have never encountered any fatal danger, they have encountered several difficult troubles. They were all attacked by a large number of Eighth Sky Abyss Beasts. However, both of them are at the Eighth Sky level and are proficient in the Void lineage, so they quickly retreated calmly.

In this way, the journey was safe and sound. After about thirty years, Chen Mu followed the God Fan Gu and finally crossed nearly eight thousand floors and arrived at the 27,682nd floor of the lava cave.

That is where the Molten City of the Yan Yang Society is located.

Molten City.

It is called a city, but in fact it is not a city built inside the lava cave. There is almost no place inside the Endless Abyss where people can stay for a long time. Once they stay for a long time, there will inevitably be a steady stream of abyss beasts appearing until it turns into a huge beast tide!
If it evolves to that extent, even the God of the Ninth Heaven will find it difficult to escape.

therefore,

In the Endless Abyss, all living beings must keep moving.

The Molten City is actually a palace-type superior divine weapon, similar to the Brahma Palace refined by the God Brahma!
It just floats above a lava cave. To the naked eye, it looks like just a model of a city, only a few feet in radius, and looks very small. But in fact, it contains the mystery of the void, like Sumeru mustard seed.

As Chen Mu and Lord Fan Gu approached the Molten Fire City, the city began to gradually expand. The closer they got, the larger the city became. By the time the two men climbed to the top of the city, the entire city had transformed into a huge city that blocked out the sky and the sun, extremely magnificent and spectacular!
Chen Mu only needed to sense it slightly, but he could sense that the interior of this huge city was filled with a large amount of strong aura. Almost all of them were people at the level of God Lords, and a rough count showed that there were at least thousands of them!

This means that there are at least thousands of gods gathered in this city!
As early as when Chen Mu approached Lord Fan Gu, there were several pressures spreading above the city, but after detecting Lord Fan Gu's aura, these pressures immediately dissipated.

"Brother Fan Gu, you are back."

After Lord Fan Gu climbed up the city wall, a figure landed not far away and greeted Lord Fan Gu in a gentle tone. The man was dressed in a golden robe and looked no different from a human, but his body was covered with fine golden scales. His face was like an eagle's head, and he exuded a pure aura from head to toe. He was also a Lord at the peak of the eighth heaven.

"Brother Pengyu, thank you for your help."

Lord Fan Gu nodded slightly at the eagle-headed creature, then pointed at Chen Mu and said, "This is Lord Mu."

The eagle-headed creature called Pengyu seemed to have learned something about Chen Mu from Lord Fan Gu a long time ago. He looked at Chen Mu with a more relaxed look and nodded, "My name is Pengyu, and I am one of the leaders of the Yanyang Association. Lord Mu came with Brother Fan Gu, so I think he is very clear about the rules of our Yanyang Association and Molten Fire City."

He learned from Lord Fan Gu that Chen Mu was a Lord of the Eighth Heaven. Although he had only barely reached the threshold of the Eighth Heaven, he was completely different from the Seventh Heaven after all, and was a very needed combat force for the Yan Yang Association.

"I probably know a thing or two."

Chen Mu responded to Peng Yu.

Since there are no valuable resources in the Endless Abyss, there is no competition. Everything is just for survival, and all practitioners gather together for survival.

The rules of the Yanyang Association and Molten Fire City are also very simple. If you join the Yanyang Association, you can live in Molten Fire City, but you also have to bear certain responsibilities and take turns to undertake the two tasks of "guarding the city" and "patrol".

Defending the city, as the name suggests, means guarding the Molten City.

The Molten City would move around in the lava caves and would often be attacked by abyss beasts. When encountering such situations, it would usually be the gods in charge of defending the city who would take action to kill or drive away the attacking abyss beasts.

Patrolling is similar, and it is necessary to patrol along a large area outside Molten City. This is because a large number of abyss beasts often gather in the Endless Abyss, forming a beast tide. If Molten City rushes into it, the situation will be very serious. Therefore, some gods are often needed to patrol within a certain range to prevent such a situation.

Having a mission naturally has its benefits. The benefit is that after taking on the mission of guarding the city or patrolling, you can stay in the Molten City before the next rotation. You don't need to be vigilant all the time like when you act alone.

Since there are quite a few gods in the Yan Yang Society, the rotation time is relatively long. Chen Mu is willing to join the Yan Yang Society for this reason. At least when he is not defending the city or patrolling, his situation can be relatively comfortable. He can temporarily put aside the things here and devote all his energy to the interface clone, trying his best to comprehend the fusion of the three mysteries of the void lineage.
