Chapter 342: Harmony between Heaven and Man

 Beside the rocks.

Chen Mu's eyes were as clean as ever, but his whole person had an inexplicable feeling of vicissitudes of life. This kind of vicissitudes of life should not have appeared in a man of his thirties, but now if he looked at Chen Mu, From his deep eyes, you can see a trace of vicissitudes that seems to have seen everything in the world.

This temperament is not an illusion.

 In the Marrow Cleansing Realm, the master of martial arts is a master of excellence. His understanding and accumulation of martial arts has truly reached the state of returning to his original nature. He is almost not limited to all moves and techniques, and his martial arts body is extremely powerful in every move he makes.

And Chen Mu has been connected to the Qi of the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation for a full month and a half, which is almost equivalent to this month and a half. His mood and vision are connected to the entire Qixuan Mountains, becoming a part of the Qixuan Mountains, like a mountain god. , witnessing the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, and the swaying of the stars.

"Human beings have feelings, but Heaven has no mercy. The so-called martial arts, when reaching a high level, means using human ways to control the heavenly ways."

The sense of vicissitudes in Chen Mu's eyes gradually faded away, and soon returned to the normal state. At the same time, he cast his gaze into the distance, passing over the entire Qixuan Sect and the mountain peaks, and murmured in his mouth.

Human beings have their limits. No matter how much we try to comprehend the world with our mortal body, we cannot truly become a part of it. However, if we blend heaven and earth and fundamentally connect with heaven and earth, we can understand everything in the sky. It is easy to gradually annihilate human nature, eliminate human emotions, and gradually turn into a supreme state of no desire and ruthlessness.

indeed.

 There are some martial arts, and what they pursue is the ruthless way.

 Merge into the breeze,

 Incorporated into the vegetation,

 Integrated into the earth,

 Integrated into the sky!

Even if he had the martial arts will to "ask without reply", Chen Mu's thoughts and thoughts also became extremely sluggish at this moment, as if it was completely difficult to operate. The world he looked at was too big and too big, far beyond that of a mortal. can carry.

In the vast land, it was as if he could see clearly wherever a butterfly fluttered its wings. He could hear any mortal speaking clearly. Endless information and insights poured into his mind, and it was precisely because he could feel it. Everything, I can feel everything, but my own thoughts are endlessly suppressed, and I can't move at all.

 After exiting the state of enlightenment, in just one thought, the vicissitudes of life, the feeling of being like the way of heaven, and the feeling of returning to heaven and earth at any time, disappeared, and returned to the state of a normal person.

Under this kind of will, the strength of one's own consciousness is like a rock in the stormy sea. No matter how the waves wash away, it remains firm and motionless. Even this description is a bit inadequate. It is more like 'Bodhi has no tree, it is me and not me' , in a completely ethereal state, the so-called waves can't even wash away, so how can wear and tear occur.

Everyone who can enter the realm of blood exchange cannot be easy. They have been tempered through countless hardships and calamities.

Jin Ling'er is practicing her sword,

 The figure under the withered pine tree is none other than Yin Heng, the Supreme Elder of Qixuan Sect.

finally.

 【Experience: 10023 points】

 【Martial Arts: The Artistic Conception of the Universe (Second Step)】

If you don’t even have a self, what’s the use of having strength?

 Otherwise, if you practice to the end and completely lose yourself and become a part of the world, it will have no meaning at all. After all, this is martial arts, not an "immortal way". The pursuit has never been immortality, but power.

His gaze fell on the Qixuan Sect. Wherever he looked, there was no secret in the Qiankun Dragon Locking Formation of the Qixuan Sect. It was like seeing everything from the perspective of heaven and earth.

But even the so-called "ruthless" way does not mean cutting off the self as a human being. It means not being trapped by "emotion", not being affected by various emotions such as love and hate, not being fettered by blood, etc. We should only pursue self-detachment and transcendence, rather than completely abandoning everything as a human being.

 Only there is the so-called martial will.

 Chen Mu quickly gathered his thoughts and called up the system panel with a thought. Basically, his judgment was similar. The experience gained in this month and a half of meditation and practice has just enough experience for another deduction.

Chen Mu closed his eyes, converted the experience points into deduction times, and then consumed them with a thought.

“Master’s martial arts will is probably the same as mine. No wonder he was the youngest top grandmaster in Hanbei back then, surpassing all the outstanding figures in the contemporary era.”

 This is also the eighth deduction since he understood the complete artistic conception of Qiankun. For him now, he can clearly feel that he is only the last small step away from the limit of the second step of the artistic conception of Qiankun.

"Is this... heaven and earth..."

Hum! !

If we relied on the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation to understand the world before, our whole person was blended into the Qixuan Mountains, as if we had transformed into the mountain itself, and we could see the changes in this world from the perspective of hundreds of miles of mountains, then now He was using the system panel to conduct the last deduction, and all he felt was that his body suddenly disappeared without a trace.

His consciousness continued to rise, and in an instant it blended into the Qixuan Mountains hundreds of miles away, but it did not stop and continued to spread to more distant places.

"let's start."

His martial arts will has reached the final stage, reaching the state of 'there is no answer to questions, and the way follows nature'.

 Chen Mu thought in his heart.

His vision passed over familiar people, and there seemed to be no secrets wherever he looked. All the energy and inner energy were clearly visible, and whether it was Jin Ling'er or Meng Danyun, etc. No one is aware of it.

Meng Danyun, who is in retreat for enlightenment,

 Shen Lin, who was explaining things to the sect,

 …

Moreover, Chen Mu was almost sure that even if Qin Mengjun had the martial arts will to reach the final state, there would still be risks in blending the Universe Locking Dragon Formation with her heart and soul damaged, but she still chose to take the risk to heal and practice, and In the end, he was able to repair the damage to his heart and soul, and at this step, he entered the realm of blood exchange.

Even ordinary masters with weak martial arts will dare not use the Qiankun Dragon Locking Formation to comprehend the world for a long time. There will always be a certain degree of risk.

 Just as time went by, the feeling of being spied on quickly faded away, as if the sight from the sky had moved away, no longer looking at Qixuan Sect, but looking elsewhere.

 You must rely on your martial arts will to clarify your own character, so that you will not gradually become ruthless and lose yourself due to the influence of heaven and earth during subsequent practice or even after becoming a master.

It is so difficult to even think about oneself, and it seems to take countless days and nights.

 【Number of deductions possible: 0 times】

 But today’s Chen Mu is different.

Until Chen Mu cast his eyes towards the forbidden area of ​​the Qixuan Sect, a figure standing quietly under the withered pine trees suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the sky as if aware of something, and said: "Which distinguished guest is here? I'm sorry. Welcome from afar."

Chen Mu's gaze fell further to the depths of the upper peak of Lingxuan Peak, where he saw Chu Jingshu, who was still in retreat and cultivating, attacking the entrance. He then turned his gaze to other peaks and looked at the several peak masters and elders who had returned to Qixuan Sect. And they were equally unaware.

therefore.

He spoke indifferent words, but his eyes showed an unprecedented solemn look. Even his own Qi was connected with the Qixuan Sect's Qiankun Dragon Locking Formation, and he could mobilize the entire earth veins under the Qixuan Mountains at any time. force.

For one and a half months like Chen Mu, he used the Qi and Qi of the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation to almost completely occupy the Qixuan Mountains, a piece of heaven and earth that stretches for hundreds of miles, instead of comprehending the world physically. , after such a month of enlightenment, I am afraid that my own consciousness has long been extinguished in the world.

Chen Mu's thoughts are like a dim and weak flame, swaying as if it will go out at any time, but it also seems to be boundless and vast, spectacular and vast, and is the very nature of heaven and earth.

Although Qin Mengjun's mysterious mind was damaged in the beginning, she was able to rely on the Dragon Locking Formation to merge heaven and earth and repair the damage to her mind and soul. It was probably because of her martial arts will that she had reached this realm. Otherwise, it is not known whether she could slowly repair the damage to her mind and soul. But the martial arts will If it is weak, if you try to connect the Qi machine with the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation in that state, you will definitely run the risk of losing yourself.

 Perceive this.

Yin Heng's heart calmed down slightly, but he still did not untie the Qi connection between himself and the Qiankun Dragon Lock Formation. He still looked up at the sky with a trace of vigilance and murmured: "The third step of the artistic conception, the unity of heaven and man? Who is it?"

 Three steps of artistic conception.

 See, touch, the unity of heaven and man.

 The so-called martial arts field is actually only based on the limit of the second step, with some means of "unity of nature and man", but compared with the real third step, it is completely different.

Once the artistic conception can understand the third step and reach the state of true unity between heaven and man, almost in a single thought, the consciousness can merge with the heaven and earth for hundreds or even thousands of miles. Wherever the eyes can see, there are almost no secrets in the world.

 But even in the realm of blood exchange, there are very few people who can practice the third step of the artistic conception and truly achieve the unity of nature and man.

At least.

For Yin Heng, at the headquarters of the Qixuan Sect, he relied on the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation and was not afraid of such a person. However, if he encountered such a being in the outside world, even he would have no choice but to escape as much as possible, and he could not confront him head-on. rivaling.

He was also very familiar with the sight that seemed to be cast down from the sky just now, and the feeling that the whole world merged with the mind. It must be the 'union of man and nature', but the entire eleven states of Hanbei Dao have reached that point. There were only two people at this level, but the peek just now gave him the feeling that he was not one of them.

“Are you from other regions? Are you here for Mengjun?”

Yin Heng muttered to himself.

Qin Mengjun has entered the realm of blood exchange. As a newly promoted Supreme Lord, it is indeed possible that he will attract the attention of some top figures in other regions. However, Qin Mengjun is not in the sect at this time, which also makes him slightly worried.

If it were him, facing such a character, even if he was outside, he would still be able to retreat. However, Qin Mengjun is a new recruit. If he bumps into such a character, if the other party has any ill intentions, it will be extremely difficult to escape unscathed. .

after all. Such beings are all qualified to be called saints in martial arts!

In the vast eleven states of Hanbei Dao, there are only two people, one is Zhenbei King Yuan Hong, and the other is Gong Yangyu, the "Tiandao", also known as the Hanbei Sword Sage!

Except for the peerless beings who have truly reached the realm of unity between man and nature, even a first-generation powerhouse like him in the blood exchange realm would not dare to easily proclaim himself a title such as ‘Martial Saint’.

Yin Heng felt a little uneasy for a while, but he was unable to contact Qin Mengjun immediately and let him return to the sect.

 …

 Chen Mu had noticed Yin Heng's nervousness before, but his thoughts were sluggish at this time. He was basically being coerced by the power of the system to blend heaven and earth, and it was almost difficult for him to have complete thoughts.

Even if normal thoughts can emerge, he will not pay too much attention to Yin Heng's nervousness, because he is very aware of his current state. He has just been forcibly elevated by the system panel to a state close to the 'unity of man and nature'. Let him perceive the world from this level of vision in advance, rather than actually entering that realm.

If the qi machine blends into the Universe Locking Dragon Formation, the mysteries of heaven and earth that he can experience are one, then now that the system panel forcibly lifts his consciousness, allowing him to blend with heaven and earth, the mysteries that he can experience every moment are dozens or even a hundred!

 All kinds of mysteries were almost forced into his consciousness.

While his thoughts were blocked and unable to function due to the oppression, these insights were actually incorporated into his heart.

that's all,

 I don’t know how long it has been.

 Chen Mu felt that his consciousness suddenly lightened, and all the heavy feelings disappeared without a trace. The mysterious insights that were constantly pouring into the depths of his consciousness stopped abruptly, and at the same time, his consciousness returned to his body.

　　　…”

 He slowly opened his eyes.

Looking around, Chen Mu looked at the rocks and ancient trees on the back cliff of Lingxuan Peak, then at his own body, and finally shook his head and sighed slightly.

Although his Qiankun Martial Body is the strongest in the world, it is flawless, and after it is practiced, it is extremely light and agile, without any feeling of heaviness and sluggishness. The child became much heavier.

 In the previous state, it was like sitting and forgetting.

 Forgetting one's own body, and even forgetting one's thoughts, as if one is the heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth are oneself.

Now that he suddenly returned to his body, the majestic and vast feeling of the vast world disappeared, and he returned to the body of a weak marrow cleansing master, it was inevitable that he would feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

but.

This kind of feeling of loss only flashed through his mind.

The derivation of the system panel pointed him in the direction. He knew that was the third step of the artistic conception, which was the unity of heaven and man in the realm of martial arts. One day in the future, he would be able to step into that realm.

 “Not that much stronger.”

 Chen Mu clenched his fist and tentatively mobilized the power of heaven and earth with the artistic conception of universe. The result was that compared with the seventh deduction, there was not much improvement, and it was similar to the past several deductions.

 The only difference is that his will has finally reached the limit of the second step. He is not only able to see the level of the 'realm', but also relies on the inference of the system panel to see the true unity of nature and man in the third step.

 【Martial Arts: The Artistic Conception of the Universe (Second Step)】

  【Experience: 23 points】

 【Number of deductions possible: 0 times】

With a thought, Chen Mu called up the system panel again, and saw that the description of his artistic conception on the system panel was still the second step.

"Now that I have reached the limit of the second step, I don't know if I should deduce it again, should I enter the realm, or... directly reach the third step?"

 Chen Mu suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

The so-called martial arts field is actually a small step between the second and third steps. For the system panel, such a small step may not be interpreted. Perhaps the limit of the second step is reached directly to the third step. Three steps.

 His tentative attempts continue to enhance the artistic conception.

The result is as expected, the system panel still gives a prompt that the ‘number of deductions’ is missing.

 “Is there a lack of deduction times…”

Chen Mu thought to himself, this is no different from the past.

 After a brief pause.

 Chen Mu had a thought, adjusted the system panel, and switched to another column.

 【Technique: Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal (Sixth Level)】

  【Experience: 355】

Ever since he reached the sixth level of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, he has been stuck here. Not only is his experience gained extremely slowly, but the system panel also directly prompts him that he has "insufficient conditions" and cannot proceed to the next level of deduction.

 However, this time, after Chen Mu tried to improve the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal again, he got the prompt "Inexperience".

 Inadequate conditions and insufficient experience are undoubtedly two concepts.

Insufficient conditions, just like he was unable to realize the artistic conception out of thin air in the past. He needs to practice multiple skills in the same line and practice multiple postures in order to reversely deduce the artistic conception. However, if he lacks experience, he only needs enough experience to directly improve. Go up.

Earlier, he was unable to directly upgrade the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal to the seventh level, because the seventh level corresponds to the 'sphere of heaven and earth', and his artistic conception has not yet reached the limit of the second step. Naturally, he lacks the conditions and cannot practice the realm out of thin air.

but now.

His artistic conception has been deduced eight times. After reaching the second limit, he naturally has the ability to practice in the field.

“Sure enough, the realm of martial arts is not a real step in the artistic conception, but rather, after reaching the limit of the second step, relying on the ultimate skills to take a small step forward.”

"Just like the three-foot forbidden area that I have cultivated, I can practice the three-foot forbidden area through falling flowers without trace. Then when the artistic conception reaches the second limit, it will have reached this level, and it will naturally be able to pass the heaven and earth wheel seal. Come and practice the Qiankun domain.”

Chen Mu looked at the system panel and nodded slightly.

If this is the case, then it will be easier for him to master the realm of heaven and earth. After all, the experience value of artistic conception cultivation becomes more and more difficult to obtain as the time goes by, and it is much easier to upgrade the heaven and earth wheel seal to the seventh level. With his current cultivation In terms of the efficiency of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, I'm afraid it won't take more than a month to reach the seventh level of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal and master the universe!

The earlier state of 'union between man and nature' was, after all, just an advance feeling brought to him by the system. The Qiankun Martial Body that he had cultivated through hard work, and the Qiankun Domain that was about to be completed, were the means that truly belonged to him. .

"The person who came to the forbidden area should be Mrs. Yin Heng."

Chen Mu recalled what he had seen before when he was gaining insights into the system. His gaze had been cast high in the sky, and he had come into contact with the figure in the forbidden area. The aura of that person was indeed the same as that of any grandmaster. Different, he is on the same level as his master Qin Mengjun, and more condensed than Qin Mengjun.

And in the entire Qixuan Sect, no one, including the masters and elders, could detect his sight, but the figure in the forbidden area could see it. Obviously, the perception ability of the blood exchange realm was also completely different.

 The Supreme Emperor of Qixuanzong, Yin Heng.

This person in the blood-changing realm has been in the world for more than a hundred years, and his strength is even higher than that of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Even a Black Turtle in its prime state can probably be suppressed by one person. Even if he The Qiankun Martial Body has achieved a small level of success, and his artistic conception has also been raised to the second step limit. I am afraid there is still a big gap between him and this being.

However, after more than a month of hard work, he has reached the seventh level of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, and has mastered the Qiankun Domain. There should no longer be a qualitative gap between him and Yin Heng in the blood exchange realm. Even if they are still unable to defeat him, At least I can get a glimpse of that level of power!

 The blood exchange realm.

 The last stage of body tempering, the pinnacle of martial arts.

Now he is thirty-two years old. He has been in this world for twelve years and practiced martial arts for ten years. He is finally close to the threshold and can have a glimpse of the ultimate level of martial arts. This journey can be said to be an experience. Hard work, forged by drops of sweat.

The thoughts in Chen Mu's heart were like a wisp of breeze, rising into the clouds, but they soon calmed down again, restrained all their thoughts, and then took one step forward and quietly disappeared on the back cliff of Lingxuan Peak.

 The next step for him is to practice the Wheel Seal of Heaven and Earth wholeheartedly and take charge of the universe.

 Qin Mengjun is still traveling abroad and has not returned yet.

I hope that when Qin Mengjun returns, he can understand the realm of heaven and earth, and then have a good discussion with Qin Mengjun to see how he will win or lose in the contest with the warriors in the blood exchange realm.
