Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 775 - 428: An Enemy Not to Be Made_2

“Elder Liu certainly has great confidence in Chen.”

After hearing Liu Qingyan’s words, Chen Mu simply smiled casually.

About his potential to attain supremacy, if anyone had the strongest faith, it was he himself. This wasn’t just due to the confidence his talents afforded him, but also the transformation brought about by his realizations.

Not only was he standing at the peak of the Body Tempering Martial Arts, but he had also learned from Xunmu about the realms beyond the limit of Martial Arts, the realms of Gods and the Void. Thus, when he reviewed his current situation, his heart naturally felt a sense of detachment.

Liu Qingyan chuckled and said, “I’m afraid that everyone within this Xunmu Cave Heaven shares the same thoughts as I do.”

Chen Mu did not respond, continuing to gaze into the void.

Liu Qingyan quietly stood not far away, her gaze surreptitiously observing Chen Mu, with a trace of regret in her heart; she regretted that she and Chen Mu were not from the same era. Her generation had seen no hero like Chen Mu, and now, Chen Mu’s strength and status were far beyond the ordinary, with even Grandmasters merely able to look up to him. It was already too late to seek friendship with Chen Mu.

It had been only a little more than ten years since Chen Mu began rising through martial achievements. It was probably unimaginable for anyone that Chen Mu could have reached his current status by his thirties, not even forty yet and already touching the threshold of Blood Exchange, truly accomplished beyond measure.

Gradually.

As time passed, other Grandmasters also arrived one after another.

Returning from Xunmu Cave Heaven to the Outer Sea still involved breaking through a void passageway, at the same location as when they entered. It was uncertain how much time was left, but to avoid missing it, many Grandmasters had already arrived early. Only those with meager gains, still seeking more, continued to risk scavenging around.

As more Grandmasters gathered from various directions, their numbers grew slowly from a dozen to several dozen. Some stood scattered, others gathered together, grounded in various spots. Some were watching the boundless void at the edge of Xunmu Cave Heaven, while others looked towards Chen Mu with reverence in their eyes.

In the Da Xuan World, power is revered.

Although, by age, Chen Mu was much younger than anyone else present, and in terms of Cultivation Realm, he was still in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, the power he had demonstrated, matching a Celestial Human, was undeniably genuine.

Celestial Human experts, achieving Unity with Nature, like the immeasurable heavenly might, must be revered!

Even at the height of the Da Xuan Dynasty Court, in the presence of a Celestial Human expert, the Emperor who ruled over everything still had to show respect. Although a Celestial Human expert was still at the Blood Exchange Realm in terms of Body Tempering Martial Arts, their strength was far superior to the ordinary Blood Exchange practitioners. Even the weakest of the Celestial Human experts could not be matched by the ordinary Blood Exchange fighters. In the case of individuals like Yin Heng, if they did not flee immediately upon encountering a Celestial Human expert and got injured after exchanging a few blows, they would likely be unable to escape.

Throughout the Da Xuan Dynasty, Grandmasters were innumerable, with each State typically giving rise to twenty or so Grandmasters. Yet among these twenty, typically only one could step into the level of Blood Exchange.

In the entire world, there are only slightly more than a hundred in the Blood Exchange Realm.

Among these hundred or so Blood Exchangers, only about twenty could grasp the third step of Artistic Conception, achieve Unity of Heaven and Man, and reach the Celestial Human Level. Even the top Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters would find this distance quite vast in comparison.

Now, nearly everyone had one thought in mind, that was, upon returning, to quickly convey a message to their respective Sects. Surprisingly, the message was consistent for everyone—that is—

Chen Mu was invincible!

Or rather, Chen Mu must not be antagonized!

Chen Mu, who proved capable of rivaling a Celestial Human in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, displayed terrifying strength that far exceeded his external manifestations. Whether he had always possessed such power, or had gained some fortuitous opportunity in the Xunmu Cave Heaven, the momentum of his rise was now difficult to stop.

In the eyes of the hundreds of Grandmasters who entered the Xunmu Cave Heaven, the situation of the world had almost become clear; no matter what attitude Chen Mu held toward this world in the future, it would surely dictate the course of the entire Da Xuan Dynasty!

“Brother Chen,”

Some time later, Yan Hong, accompanied by Yan Zhengyang and others, also reached the border of the Xunmu Cave Heaven. She immediately looked towards Chen Mu standing at the edge of the Xunmu Cave Heaven and approached him, greeting him while simultaneously waving her hand and taking out a wooden long bottle, and saying to Chen Mu, “This is the remaining portion of the Xunmu Spirit Liquid I owe you.”

Chen Mu narrowed his gaze, turned around, and received the wooden long bottle handed over by Yan Hong. He weighed it slightly and knew that the quantity was not off. To him, who currently possessed thousands of catties of Xunmu Spirit Liquid, these few dozen catties were truly insignificant. Nonetheless, he accepted it, as it was better than nothing.

As he had breached the core settlement of the Xunmu Cave Heaven, although the greatest opportunity had been seized by him, the entire Xunmu Cave Heaven was essentially fallen and defenseless, allowing all Grandmasters to freely loot and plunder alone. Considering this, the gains from this trip to the Xunmu Cave Heaven were quite substantial for everyone; even though Yan Hong and her group had parted with a portion, the acquired Xunmu Spirit Liquid was likely still considerable.

“I must thank Brother Chen for his aid in this expedition to the Xunmu Cave Heaven. If Brother Chen intends to visit the Central Prefecture later on, please let me know, and I, Yan Hong, will definitely welcome you.” Yan Hong said earnestly to Chen Mu.

Having witnessed Chen Mu’s current capabilities, her thoughts were no different from the others. Attempting to hinder Chen Mu from dominating the world seemed almost impossible; not to antagonize Chen Mu, she too, after returning, would immediately communicate the situation to King Chu and others, even attempting to prevent other members of the Royal Family from continuing as Chen Mu’s enemies.

While it’s true that the Eight Princes viewed each other as rivals, with King Chu wishing ill on the other seven, the internal strife within the Royal Family ultimately meant shared losses or prosperity. Now, Chen Mu was absolutely not a person to be exploited.

“Alright.”

Chen Mu nodded slightly to Yan Hong.

He and Yan Hong did not have much acquaintance, but their conversations were passable, and he held no significant aversion towards her—at least, she was not a person who would bring chaos to the world. In his established impression of the members of the Royal Family, she was rather decent.

Of course, in his eyes now, the difference between members of the Royal Family and the common folk was negligible.

After briefly conversing with Yan Hong, Chen Mu once again scanned the many Grandmasters arriving in succession. Soon, he narrowed his gaze, continued observing the Void, and after not knowing how much time had passed, he finally slightly squinted his eyes, noticing a fine ripple in the calm and deep lake-like Void.

This ripple was almost invisible to the naked eye; even he could barely perceive it. Had he not meticulously explored the Void Force previously during the refinement of the Qiankun bottle, he probably would have been unable to detect this fine ripple.

As time passed, this ripple also became more intense, slowly evolving into waves.

The Void Tide had arrived!
