Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 833 - 454: Watching the Sea and Listening to the Tide_2

At this very moment, those qualified to stand on Tingchao Cliff were only the grandmasters. Even those in the Five Organ and Viscera Realm had to retreat to the back of the cliff, unable to withstand the turbulence and collision of the power of Heaven and Earth.

On the system panel, the experience accumulated from martial arts continuously increased, with hundreds of points being added incessantly.

Chen Mu’s consciousness, however, did not focus on the changes on the system panel, but rather immersed itself in the comprehension of Heaven and Earth. Listening to the tidal sounds echoing in his ears, it was as if he saw the creation of the world, the collapse of Heaven and Earth. He seemed to grasp the profound truth of extreme stillness leading to movement and extreme movement leading to stillness, with all sorts of mysteries arising in his heart.

Thus.

It is unknown how much time had passed.

The thunderous tidal sounds in his ears finally began to fade away gradually.

When Chen Mu looked forward, he saw that the clouds and mists surrounding the top of Tingchao Cliff had unknowingly dissipated, revealing a vast azure sky. At the peak of the cliff, towering over a thousand feet, the surging tide below was gradually retreating, with only waves of several tens of feet high left, crashing against the cliffs and creating splashes of white waves. It was evident that the spectacular scene just witnessed was not a mere dream.

Chen Mu withdrew his consciousness, his heart at peace. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he looked at the system panel.

Observing the sea from Tingchao Cliff during the centennial tide, comprehending the creation of Heaven and Earth, the profound mystery of movement and stillness, in just half a day’s time had brought him over twenty thousand experience points accumulation, pushing him more than halfway towards the Unity of Heaven and Man!

At this moment on Tingchao Cliff, many of the Blood Exchange Realm Supremes and even Marrow-Cleansing Grandmasters were gradually waking up from their trance. Some seemed to have gained insight, their eyes filled with bright gleam, while others appeared bewildered, seemingly stuck in a quandary.

Just then.

A voice echoed across Tingchao Cliff.

"This time’s discussion on the Dao and observing the wonders of Heaven and Earth was profoundly rewarding. Thank you all for the hospitality, I shall take my leave."

Whoosh.

Countless eyes simultaneously looked towards the top of the cliff, only to see that the figure of Chen Mu near the pavilion at the edge of the cliff had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind, as if it was merely a fleeting illusion.

Individuals like the Dragonwood Island Master could only hear the voice but could not sense his presence. Only Cang Ming, this Celestial Human, turned his gaze in a specific direction, a hint of sorrow flashing in his aged eyes before everything returned to silence.

He knew the many entanglements between Chen Mu and those in Da Xuan.

This departure. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Would surely cause a great stir in Da Xuan, shaking the entire dynasty!

But all of this had nothing to do with Tingchao Cliff. Tingchao Cliff had never meddled in the affairs of Da Xuan, and now, having formed a good relation with Chen Mu, they would just observe the changes in the world in the future.

...

Having discussed the Dao with Cang Ming, and observed the sea from Tingchao Cliff, gaining nearly thirty thousand experience points, Chen Mu was satisfied and felt no need to linger any longer.

At this moment, his whole being felt ethereal, as if merging with the void and Heaven and Earth. Leaping several thousand feet from the top of Tingchao Cliff, he silently moved away. However, instead of heading directly back to Da Xuan, he drew an arc in the sky and landed quietly on a small split island by the main island of Tingchao Cliff, standing on a reef.

Standing there with his hands behind his back, he looked forward.

Not far ahead, he saw two graceful figures standing behind the reef, their appearances strikingly similar, almost indistinguishable. At this moment, their energies intertwined, both of them had achieved martial bodies, reaching the level of Marrow-Cleansing Grandmasters.

"Greetings, my lord."

"Congratulations on your divine power reaching Major Achievement, my lord."

The two elegant figures saluted Chen Mu in unison, their voices almost identical, indistinguishable from each other.

"No need for formalities."

Chen Mu looked at the two of them, shook his head slightly, took a step forward, and appeared in front of them. After a brief glance at them, he nodded slightly and said, "It has been two years since we last met, and you have crossed the threshold of the Mysterious Pass."

These two were none other than Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying.

In the two years that had passed, Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying had both broken through the Mysterious Pass, stepping into the level of Marrow-Cleansing Grandmasters, marking a significant step on their martial path.

Although grandmasters may not be considered top-tier experts in the Da Xuan Ninety-Nine States, they are still outstanding figures among the billions of common people in a state. In a place like Cold North, at most two or three dozen grandmasters would emerge in any given era.

Even the True Inheritors of Great Sects may not necessarily achieve the status of grandmaster.

Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying stepping into the Marrow-Cleansing Realm, although their cultivation progress couldn’t compare to him, they were definitely among the outstanding talents of their generation back then. It was unknown whether Zuo Qianqiu had stepped into the Marrow-Cleansing Realm yet.

This thought only flashed briefly in Chen Mu’s mind. To him now, even the peerless talents of his generation, including the likes of Zuo Qianqiu, could hardly catch his eye anymore, as the gap between them had become immeasurable.

"We were able to break through the Mysterious Pass thanks to your guidance back then, my lord."

Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying exchanged a glance, both smiling radiantly, their voices still overlapping.

"Guidance is merely leading the way; breaking through the Mysterious Pass relies on your own talents."

Chen Mu smiled calmly.

Back then, the sisters had explored the mysteries of Yin and Yang with him in their discussions on the Dao. He had comprehended the changes of Yin and Yang from the Qiankun Artistic Conception and helped Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying experience these changes in their quest to break through the Mysterious Pass. Indeed, it was a significant aid, but more importantly, their foundation was solid.

With the unique physique of Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, the fact that both had entered the Marrow-Cleansing Realm meant that even with their martial bodies just initially formed, they together would probably not fear a grandmaster like Feng Hongsheng. Given some more time to accumulate their cultivation, the sisters’ combined might would be able to rival top grandmasters. This was truly a gift from Heaven.

While this level of strength may not be significant to Chen Mu now, he was naturally pleased to see those around him advancing continually.

Even.

By now, Chen Mu’s mindset had gradually changed. Just like when he swept through the peerless talents of Cold North at the peak of Yunni Sky Peak, now he only hoped for the martial arts world to flourish more and more. From the moment he stepped into the Blood Exchange Realm, the path ahead would be one of complete solitude, with no one in the world able to follow.

"Are you also here to observe the centennial tide?"

Chen Mu asked Hua Nongyue.

Hua Nongyue approached and said softly, "Indeed, the centennial tide at Tingchao Cliff is a rare spectacle not to be missed. However, we are not qualified to ascend Tingchao Cliff and can only observe from here."

"Hmm."

Chen Mu slightly nodded and said, "I have been in secluded cultivation for the past two years. Has there been any change in Da Xuan?"

Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, who initially came to the Outer Sea to scout news about the Sea Calming Pearl for him, had stayed, not just for their cultivation, but more importantly, to wait for his return and provide him with intelligence.

Hearing Chen Mu asking about the changes in Da Xuan over the past two years, Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying exchanged a glance, then looked at Chen Mu from either side and said, "The changes in these past two years have been significant, and it can’t be summed up in just a few words."

"Oh?"

Chen Mu looked at the two of them, his expression unchanged.

Ji Yongzhao, the current Emperor Xuan, was killed by his hand, deep in the Outer Sea. It would be strange if no changes occurred in the Da Xuan Dynasty. However, what mattered to him now were the conditions of the Seven Profound Sect and the safety of his relatives.

"My lord, you should return to Da Xuan. We can speak on the way."

Hua Nongyue suggested.

"Very well."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, then stepped out, along with Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying. They descended into the sea and headed toward Da Xuan.

Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying followed at his sides, recounting the numerous significant changes in Da Xuan over the past two years.
