Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 700 - 396 Dragonwood Island Master
Chapter 700 -396 Dragonwood Island Master
“Xunmu Cave Heaven…”
Chen Mu looked at the depiction on the map, revealing a touch of contemplation.
Although he had already learned many details about the Xunmu Cave Heaven from Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, the information was not as detailed as what was depicted in Yan Hong’s map. The map was very complex, with a towering giant tree at its center, radiating outwards into a vast world that stretched far and wide.
According to the map, this towering giant tree was the “Xunmu,” and the location with the highest concentration of Wood Spirit Liquid was undoubtedly around its main trunk and root system, which was also the very center of the Xunmu Cave Heaven.
However,

that area was also marked in deep red on the map, indicating the most dangerous region!
This danger came not only from it being the homeland of the Spirit Human Race, guarded by the Spiritual Ancestor, but also because it was the core of the entire Xunmu Cave Heaven, where the Earth’s Veins and the Xunmu tree veins were located, including the presence of the “Xunmu Ancestral Formation.”
Chen Mu had learned a bit about this formation from the Hehuan Sect and knew that its might was not at all inferior to the grand sect defenses established by great sects like Da Xuan. It possessed the power to suppress beings in the Blood Exchange Realm and, in some sense, was even more dangerous than the Spiritual Ancestor of the Spirit Human Race!
Therefore,
no matter when, attacking the Xunmu Cave Heaven, especially the core homeland of the Spirit Human Race, was always forbidden. Even knowing that the very heart of the tree was the source of the Wood Spirit Liquid, holding vast quantities, it was still impossible to capture.
In the Xunmu Cave Heaven, what they could seize were only the portions of Spiritual Liquid contained in certain special “tree nodes” or the Spiritual Liquid born within the Xunmu root system underground, collecting them bit by bit.
“The heart of the Xunmu Cave Heaven is a forbidden area. Even true masters of the Blood Exchange Realm wouldn’t gain any advantages there, and it is not our target this time. Our goal is to attempt to attack a few key nodes. Those nodes are generally defended by the Spirit Human Race and their formations, but they are far away from the core ancestral formation, so they can’t exert much power,”
Yan Hong stood beside them, chatting with the group and occasionally adding some information about the Xunmu Cave Heaven.
The Xunmu Cave Heaven was vast.
The Spirit Human Race would not actively engage in large-scale battles with these grandmasters from Da Xuan and the Outer Sea. In past encounters, they mainly relied on advantageous terrain to deal with the invading grandmasters from Da Xuan and the Outer Sea.
Given their current team’s strength, as long as they did not approach the core of the Xunmu Cave Heaven or directly encounter the attacking Spiritual Ancestor of the Spirit Human Race, they could basically move without restraint, facing little risk.
“The tree heart forbidden area, Spiritual Ancestor…”
Chen Mu’s eyes displayed a hint of contemplation.
If the tree heart forbidden area of the Xunmu Cave Heaven had a formation as powerful as the Seven Profound Sect’s Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation, it indeed warranted his caution, and he should not approach it lightly.
Nonetheless, the vast quantities of Wood Spirit Liquid rumored to be brewing within the tree heart forbidden area were indeed one of his goals for this venture. Therefore, he considered exploring and collecting in other regions first, obtaining enough Wood Spirit Liquid to then attempt to refine his Qiankun Martial Body to the level of Perfection!
Once his Qiankun Martial Body reached Perfection, his strength would climb another notch. Then, there was a possibility he could defeat the Spiritual Ancestor face to face, and perhaps even break through the tree heart formation of the Spirit Human Race!
However, this matter still required careful planning.
Mainly because he was well aware that facing a Blood Exchange Realm master like the Spiritual Ancestor leading the formation’s core would be truly terrifying. Even a master at the Celestial Human Level would struggle to harm him in the slightest.
Just like Supreme Yin Heng of the Seven Profound Sect, who could only flee in distress when facing masters at the Celestial Human Level in the outside world, but if guarding the Forbidden Land of the Seven Profound Sect, wielding the Seven Profound Sect’s Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation, he feared no Celestial Human masters.
Therefore,
If they wished to break through the Spirit Human Race’s tree heart forbidden area and claim the treasures within the heart of the Xunmu, they might need to find a way to lure out the Spiritual Ancestor. Based on past expeditions into the Xunmu Cave Heaven, the Spiritual Ancestor would not always be stationed in the tree heart forbidden area. Occasionally, they would conceal their aura and venture out to attack multiple grandmasters from the Outer Sea and Da Xuan, causing casualties.
All in all, every plan would need to be considered once inside. Although he currently did not fear the Spiritual Ancestor, truly defeating them was still going to be difficult. Therefore, teams like Yan Hong’s were still very useful.
On the one hand, they could help lure the Spiritual Ancestor, while on the other hand, during combat, they might manage to distract him somewhat.
Just as Chen Mu was pondering,
Yan Hong approached once more, handing over a small flag twinkling with spiritual light to Chen Mu.
“This is…”
Chen Mu took it and gave it a brief inspection and sense, his eyes flashing with a hint of recognition. It felt vaguely familiar, like the Military Formation Command Flags he had seen within the Jade Forest Army.
“A Military Formation Command Flag?”
Chen Mu asked directly.
Yan Hong first shook her head, then nodded and explained, “Not exactly, but somewhat similar. This is a Spirit Weapon called the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Formation Flag, which you’ve probably heard of. It’s ranked sixty-ninth in the Da Xuan Spirit Weapon Catalogue.”
Hearing Yan Hong’s words, Chen Mu nodded slightly.
He had not paid much attention to the Da Xuan Grandmasters Catalogue, having only glanced through it briefly, but he had thoroughly reviewed the Spirit Weapon Catalogue. After all, he had been lacking a suitable Spirit Weapon for himself. Although some of the weapons listed in the catalogue might not be a good fit for him, acquiring one would still be worthwhile for use.
