Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 853 - 461: Convergence of Storms! (8k5)_5

It was almost at this moment.

Located in the Central Prefecture, amongst some mountains, a simple and unadorned Taoist temple stood. A figure in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged, eyes closed, on an ancient pine, his body swaying with the tree.

This was none other than the Master Xuantian, one of the most elite Celestial Masters of the present age!

Not far from Master Xuantian, an old Taoist in shabby, unkempt clothes was pouring wine from a bronze wine pot into his mouth, with a pile of copper coin turtle shells in front of him.

His gaze was fixed on those copper coin turtle shells, occasionally scratching his head, seemingly very bewildered.

"Strange, strange, how can the heavenly numbers be so chaotic..."

"This is unusual. Something major must be happening. Senior brother, do you have any idea?"

The old Taoist pulled at his ragged and uneven beard several times before he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Master Xuantian on the ancient pine.

The ancient pine under Master Xuantian swayed with the wind, and his whole being, like a pine needle, gently rose and fell. He kept his eyes closed and said in an even tone, "The changes in heavenly numbers have their own reasoning. Delving too deeply is of no benefit."

"But this doesn't seem right, it's not quite right..."

The old Taoist pulled at his beard, accidentally breaking a few strands, seemingly unaware, still muttering to himself.

Just at this moment.

The breeze that swept through the courtyard suddenly became still, as did the ancient pine and the Taoist robe on Master Xuantian. After meditating for an unknown duration, Master Xuantian suddenly opened his eyes filled with ancient wisdom.

"Hmm."

A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes as he looked towards the distant heavens, and a faint ripple of Qi instantly made the ancient pine, pavilion, and even the stone platform in the courtyard crumble to dust.

But in the next moment, he waved his right hand, and the ancient pine, pavilion, and stone platform were all restored to their original state.

"Senior brother?"

The old Taoist was immediately surprised.

His senior brother, Master Xuantian, was one with heaven and earth. Just a single ripple of his thoughts could manifest in the outside world. However, it had been many years since the old Taoist had seen his senior brother's thoughts cause any disturbance. Could he have sensed something?

Step, step, step,

Master Xuantian was no longer sitting cross-legged on the ancient pine but walked down a few steps, gazing at the heavens with deep eyes, and said in a gentle tone, "There is no need to pry into the heavenly mechanism. He has arrived, already in Central Prefecture. The chaos in the heavenly numbers is unsurprising."

Upon hearing Master Xuantian's words, the old Taoist was momentarily stunned. Then his eyes also fluctuated with waves as he leaped up.

He certainly knew who Master Xuantian was talking about.

Throughout the world today, amidst the vast world, countless individuals, just their arrival in the Central Prefecture could cause such chaos in the heavenly numbers and a muddled heavenly mechanism. It would be impossible to find a second person in the entire world.

Cold North, Chen Mu!

"It's that kid! Coming so fast!"

The old Taoist's eyes widened.

In all his travels across the world, encountering countless individuals, including mundane dignitaries, individuals from various sects, and geniuses, only one person made him continually astounded to this day. That person was Chen Mu! frёewebηovel.cѳm

He vaguely remembered many years ago when he was traveling the Cold North Path. He once sought someone with an uncertain heavenly number in Yu State and accidentally met Chen Mu. At that time, Chen Mu was just a slightly known figure in a remote county, not even as prominent as the inheritors of various sects, yet his destiny was mysteriously chaotic and uncertain.

He then attempted to divine Chen Mu's fortune but found nothing. Later, he even appeared personally, trying to induce Chen Mu to request a divination from him to calculate the heavenly mechanism precisely, but Chen Mu did not fall for it.

Such individuals with uncertain destinies were numerous across the world, just in Yu State, he encountered more than one. Since his test was unsuccessful, he didn't pay much attention, recorded it, and continued his travels.

But after that.

Chen Mu rose step by step in Yu State, became renowned in just a few years, and his fame even reached the old Taoist's ears!

This astonished him greatly, so he began to follow Chen Mu's affairs closely. In just a few more years, Chen Mu soared to great heights, achieving mastery of the Qiankun Path and entering the Grandmaster Realm. He even became famous in the Cold North Path after a battle in the Ice State Abyss.

At that time, he mentioned this to Master Xuantian, who showed some interest but not overly much. After all, Master Xuantian was one of the top Celestial Masters of the era, with his Martial Arts cultivated to the pinnacle. Even though Chen Mu was exceedingly talented and achieved the Qiankun Grandmaster level, it was still not enough to make him pay extra attention.

Until,

Chen Mu in the Outer Sea, defeated seven Blood Exchange experts in battle, finally making Master Xuantian take notice!

Soon after, Chen Mu's achievement in the Blood Exchange Realm and return to the Da Xuan Dynasty were also reported here very quickly.

At Master Xuantian's Realm, everything mundane was inconsequential. His pursuit was only Martial Arts, and having someone qualified to discuss martial arts with him necessarily stirred his heart.

"Since you are already moved, why not invite him for a conversation?"

The old Taoist looked at Master Xuantian and said.

Master Xuantian gazed at the horizon with deep eyes and in a light tone said, "He has come to the Central Prefecture for past grievances, it is not appropriate to interfere now. Besides, there are less than two years until the next Kunlun Martial Summit, it will not be too late by then."

"The Kunlun Martial Summit, ah."

The old Taoist sighed lightly.

He could not remember when it started, but every thirty years, the Celestial Masters in the world would gather at the peak of Kunlun Mountain. They would discuss the Martial Arts of the era, also known as the Celestial Martial Summit, which had a history of thousands of years, even predating the founding of the Da Xuan Dynasty. Only those of the Celestial Human Level were qualified to participate, as common Blood Exchange Realm was not enough.

He also wanted to join Master Xuantian for one of the Kunlun Martial Summits, but unfortunately, he had not yet reached the Heavenly Realm.

However.

After a brief sigh, the old Taoist suddenly thought of something, exclaiming, "Oh no, oh no, if I don't leave now, I'll miss the excitement!"

Chen Mu arrived at Central Prefecture, which meant he would undoubtedly head to the Capital City. Unlike his senior brother Master Xuantian, who at the Celestial Human Level could hear events thousands of miles away, the old Taoist needed to hurry, or he would miss seeing Chen Mu in action!

Master Xuantian was in no hurry to discuss Martial Arts with Chen Mu. Standing at the pinnacle of Martial Arts, they would eventually meet. But the old Taoist was quite impatient, as few had seen Chen Mu's abilities after he stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm!
