Chapter 773: Chapter 427 A Glimmer of Hope_2

So much so that no one dared to approach!

Chen Mu himself, even in the presence of Xunmu will, felt an immense pressure and had to face it with great seriousness, not to mention Jiang Han and the other common Grandmasters. Facing that oppression, they could only feel their own insignificance, as if they were confronted with the vastness of the heavens and earth, even unable to muster the thought of resistance in their hearts.

It wasn’t until Chen Mu burst out of the passageway within the tree’s heart, followed by the entire passageway twisting, collapsing, and finally healing and disappearing into nothingness, that the dozens of Grandmasters gathered near the trunk began to wake up from their trance.

“Chen… Brother Chen, what just happened?”

After snapping back to reality, Jiang Han turned to Chen Mu, who had walked out of the tree’s heart passageway, and began to speak with a quivering voice.

Chen Mu took measured steps forward, glanced at Jiang Han and the others, and said with a calm tone, “Both Spirit Ancestors of the Spirit People Race are dead. However, you all should still refrain from mindlessly causing destruction. If you anger Xunmu, no one can bear the consequences.”

His last sentence carried a hint of a warning.

It wasn’t that he cared about the life and death of people like Jiang Han, but rather the status of Xunmu was simply too terrifying. He was also unclear about Xunmu’s current state. If Jiang Han and others were to destroy indiscriminately, or even attempt to attack Xunmu’s main body, angering Xunmu could trigger some unforeseeable disaster, which would be very disadvantageous for him.

After all, even though he had an agreement with Xunmu, it was highly likely that Xunmu wouldn’t trouble him. But with a being like Xunmu, every move was imbued with supreme power. Even minor tremors might disturb the void, and if that affected the void, making it impossible for him to return to the Da Xuan World from Xunmu Cave Heaven, that would be troublesome.

After issuing his warning, Chen Mu didn’t say any more and stepped forward, soon disappearing into the distance.

The people like Jiang Han behind him were left looking at each other in dismay.

To provoke Xunmu!

All being Grandmasters, naturally none were foolish. From just a half-statement from Chen Mu, they had gleaned much information, of which the most shocking was this—Xunmu was alive!

This vast entity, like a pillar holding up the sky, a tree crown that shaded ten thousand miles, such a terrifyingly large tree was, like a demonic creature, a living being with will!

Realizing this, almost everyone was struck with alarm.

While most of those present had never seen a Tenth Rank peerless Heavenly Demon, there were many who had encountered and even joined forces to attack Ninth Rank Heavenly Demons. But even with their experience, they could hardly judge what level of existence Xunmu might be!

It is known, even the largest Tenth Rank Heavenly Demons mentioned in legends, those creatures at their maximum would only be comparable to a small mountain, at most thousands of Zhang in size, already considered unimaginably vast.

And Xunmu?

Its crown spread like a canopy, spanning ten thousand miles, not even in the same league as a Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon!

Despite some doubts among the crowd, the terrifying pressure that had suddenly risen earlier, which was nearly suffocating, like facing the heavens and earth, confirmed Chen Mu’s words.

“Gulp.”

Someone, looking at the enormity of Xunmu’s main body, couldn’t help but swallow hard.

In face of such an unbelievable and fearsome existence, even the true Celestial Human experts would seem insignificant by comparison, and they were hardly any stronger than ants.

Xunmu Cave Heaven.

A Cave Heaven that exists dependent on the Da Xuan World actually gave birth to such a terrifying being.

“…”

The Grandmasters from Tingchao Cliff were all wearing expressions of shock, looking at each other, their hearts filled with immense astonishment. Tingchao Cliff was known to understand Xunmu Cave Heaven very well, but they absolutely did not know that this Xunmu was a being like a demonic creature, not just a mere natural wonder of the world!

If that were the case, then their assessment of Xunmu Cave Heaven from Tingchao Cliff had to be overturned, and the strategies they had adhered to would probably have to be completely shattered and started anew!

Of course.

While shocked by this revelation, some people gradually came to their senses, thinking of Chen Mu who had just left, and looking at the vanished passageway that once led to the heart of the tree’s forbidden land, they couldn’t help but speculate what benefits Chen Mu might have gained inside.

But, even with some being envious, no one really had their heart set on the resources Chen Mu obtained. After all, Chen Mu had long since revealed his methods, and it was clear to everyone the extent of his terror-inspiring strength. Even the Spiritual Objects that Chen Mu snatched from the heart of Xunmu might have been contested with Xunmu itself, a daunting ‘Heavenly Demon’, which deterred people from entertaining any covetous thoughts.

Those were absolutely not things they could touch.

“Let’s go,” said Hong Shida, who was standing not far away. He gazed deeply at the main trunk of Xunmu for a moment before speaking slowly and walking away.

Since no resources could be found here, and realizing the terror of Xunmu, it was natural not to linger and better to save time by plundering resources elsewhere. After all, this place was the core settlement of the Spirit People Race, which had never been breached before, and there were many resources worth contending for.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The Grandmasters nearby following Hong Shida exchanged glances and retreated quickly together.

Jiang Han and the others also left in silence.

Moments later,

There were no more figures near the main trunk of Xunmu; only on the surface of the towering giant tree, at a central position, the ancient and time-worn bark seemed to faintly reveal a face. This face paid no attention to Jiang Han and the others as they left but looked intently in the direction where Chen Mu was departing, seemingly with a hint of puzzlement.

“Such a rudimentary Cultivation Method…”

Every world is different, and the Cultivation Methods vary, but the ultimate goal is the same. Whether it’s one method or another, there are ultimately two paths—a Physique trained to the limit for a Solidifying Refinement into an Immortal Body, shedding the mortal coil, or a Soul Heart reaching the limit, grasping the laws of heaven and earth, shedding the mortal mind. Both paths can touch the threshold of the God Realm.

Upon its first sight of Chen Mu, it could tell that Chen Mu’s Physical Cultivation had a foundation of Perfection, and considering his age was not great, reaching that level could be considered a talent. Since being cast away here, it had been in a state of hibernation to reduce decay and had not seen such a caliber of individual in a long time.

For a talent of this level, Solidifying Refinement into an Immortal Body and stepping into the God Realm would not be difficult, but to comprehend the way of the Void to a certain depth would be quite challenging, especially since it believed Chen Mu was weaker in the aspect of the Soul Heart, and not adept at it.

But now, it had no choice.

This was not its homeland, and encountering a young genius like Chen Mu might already be the pinnacle of this world. It couldn’t ask for more but could only place a little hope on Chen Mu.

What slightly confused it was that while Chen Mu’s Physique was well-cultivated and his practice was Perfection, people like Jiang Han and Hong Shida were full of flaws in their cultivation, with a path that was exceptionally rough and inferior beyond measurement.

This puzzled it further.

Given Chen Mu’s level of cultivation, the Cultivation Method of the world that he and his peers came from should not be so rudimentary. Yet, the disparity between Hong Shida and others compared to Chen Mu was so vast it was somewhat bizarre. If they only had such a crude Cultivation Method, they could not possibly refine their Physique to the ultimate degree, nor could they touch the threshold of the God Realm.

However, Xunmu eventually stopped pondering, the visage on the trunk’s surface soon vanished, and its consciousness quickly sank back to the bottom, restraining all its power. After a deep sigh, it fell into slumber once again.

Having a glimmer of hope was always good, definitely better than slowly marching toward destruction shrouded in darkness and despair.

As for the rest, it did not want to care too much.

It merely hoped that after another thousand years, when it awoke once more, it would be able to see more rays of hope.
