Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 488 - 300: No Longer a Person in the Spotlight

```

"Is this the might of the Qiankun Martial Body, the strongest of our time?"

Chen Mu slowly stood up in the mountain cave.

The cave he had initially carved out was just big enough to accommodate his body, but after his skin, flesh, tendons and bones had been thoroughly tempered and transformed into the Qiankun Martial Body, his physique had become somewhat more imposing than before, his head barely touching the rock ceiling.

However, this touch not only failed to bring any sense of pain, but on the contrary, the rock, strengthened by the Earth Pulse’s Power and tougher than steel, caved in where it was bumped by his head as if his current body could clash with mountains!

Chen Mu clenched his fists.

What he felt was the surging Yuan Gang Force flowing through his body.

If during the Six Viscera Realm, he needed to rely on the Inner Breath cycle of the Five Viscera and Six Viscera to mobilize the Yuan Gang, now what ran through his entire body was Yuan Gang True Essence, and even the slightest movement was imbued with tremendous might.

Were he to exert his full power now, the overwhelming Yuan Gang he could command and manipulate, if still calculated in ’portions,’ would be at least over one hundred and twenty portions!

Terrifying!

Such a level of Yuan Gang might could only be described as horrifying.

It’s worth noting that his master, Qin Mengjun, had said when defining Grandmaster strength levels, that as a Top Grandmaster, with the might of her Martial Body and Domain combined, she could wield a might of merely about one hundred and twenty portions at full power.

In other words,

Chen Mu now possessed a strength comparable to that of a Top Grandmaster with just his Qiankun Martial Body!

Even more precisely, if he were to spar with Qin Mengjun again, just with the early stage of his Qiankun Martial Body, he could easily suppress her without even needing to utilize the Qiankun Artistic Conception.

The logic is simple, the inherent might of one hundred and twenty portions that comes with the Martial Body and the one hundred and twenty portions achieved through combining the Martial Body with a Domain are not the same. It’s like one person can shatter rocks with just their fists, while another needs to wield a large hammer to do the same. Even if the end result is identical, the one who can break rocks with their bare fists can easily overpower the person dependent on the hammer.

A Martial Artist starts by toughening the skin and refining the body, then begins to faintly comprehend the heavens and earth through the Five Viscera and Six Viscera, breaking through the Mysterious Pass to fuse with the heavens and earth, eventually reaching Blood Exchange, then bringing everything back to the body, with mighty power residing within oneself—this is Martial Arts.

Despite Chen Mu’s Qiankun Martial Body being only in its early stages, the extreme tempering of his Five Viscera and Six Viscera has brought his Inner World very close to Perfection, and his Qiankun Martial Body, solidified and complete, represents the strongest Martial Arts in the current world. It almost embodies the essence of accepting myriad laws and powers into oneself, a state usually only achieved at the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

At this moment, Chen Mu felt an indescribable sense of clarity in his heart.

Finally,

he had reached this step.

"Moreover, with the current might I can mobilize with my Qiankun Artistic Conception, even though my Qiankun Martial Body is just in its early stages, I should far surpass those Top Grandmasters, approaching the level of an ’Unprecedented Grandmaster.’"

Unprecedented Grandmaster.

Currently, there was no such existence in the Eleven States of the Cold North Path.

Even ’Fahong,’ the Abbot of Wusheng Temple, ranked first among the Grandmasters of the Cold North Path, couldn’t reach the status of an Unprecedented Grandmaster. The term ’Unprecedented’ is reserved only for those who have cultivated supreme Martial Bodies like the ’Yin Yang Martial Body,’ and who have grasped the corresponding Domain.

Looking at the entirety of Da Xuan’s Ninety-Nine States, there are currently only ten such individuals, and they occupy the top ten spots on the Da Xuan Grandmaster leaderboard; the Eleven States of the Cold North Path, unfortunately, do not have even one.

It’s not that the overall strength of the Cold North Path is inferior to the other eight paths; in fact, when it comes to overall power, apart from the Central Prefecture’s Jingji Road that stands alone, the difference between the other eight paths is minimal with comparable numbers of Blood Exchange Realm and Marrow Cleansing Realm. Nonetheless, Unprecedented Grandmasters are exceedingly rare and it’s quite normal for an era to have none at all.

Take the current Cold North Path, for example; aside from Chen Mu himself, the only one with a chance of reaching Unprecedented Grandmaster status is Zuo Qianqiu, the once-in-a-century descendant of the Heavenly Sword. If he could enter the Dao and reach Grandmaster through the Heavenly Sword and later master the Heavenly Sword Domain, that would put him very close to the level of an Unprecedented Grandmaster, and it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say he could barely make the cut.

Chen Mu didn’t know how powerful an Unprecedented Grandmaster would be.

After all, he had no references to consult as his own master, Qin Mengjun, was only a Top Grandmaster.

And according to many records, the strength of Unprecedented Grandmasters is far greater than that of Top Grandmasters. Even if three or five Top Grandmasters like Qin Mengjun joined forces, they would often struggle to contend with a single Unprecedented Grandmaster, who might even have the ability to retreat unscathed under the hands of those in the Blood Exchange Realm.

"I wonder how I would fare against an Unprecedented Grandmaster at present... but as long as I don’t leave the Cold North Path, it’s unlikely that I’ll encounter such a person." Enjoy more content from novelbuddy

For a moment, Chen Mu felt a surge of audacity, wanting to challenge an Unprecedented Grandmaster, but he quickly suppressed the thought. Regardless of whether he would be evenly matched or slightly inferior to an Unprecedented Grandmaster, surpassing them was only a matter of time for him, especially since his Qiankun Martial Body was merely at ’Minor Achievement.’

For most Grandmasters, refining a Martial Body takes at least twenty to thirty years or more, a prolonged process, which is why there are roughly four stages of progress: ’Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Perfection.’ The gap between each stage isn’t large, but cumulatively, when the Martial Body reaches Perfection, its overall strength is at least doubled compared to the freshly achieved Martial Body at Minor Achievement.
