Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 482 - 297 Momentum_2

In his early years, Chen Mu, despite being in the crisis-ridden Outer City of Yu County and not yet having reached the Tendon Changing Realm, had still managed everything with ease and composure. Now, as a high-ranking practitioner in the Six Viscera Realm and ranking among the top three on the Wind Cloud List, renowned across the Cold North, she believed that Chen Mu could handle anything.

It had only been about ten years since Chen Mu, starting from a minor position in Yu City, had climbed to the top three of the Wind Cloud List. His strength was now counted among the top Grandmasters in the Northern Path, making him one of the top figures in Yu State.

Thinking further about the efforts Chen Mu had put into helping her, she was unknowingly filled with a sense of longing like water diffusing around her.

"Hmm."

Xu Hongyu gently nodded and said, "In the next two days, the families from the State Government Office might come to offer their congratulations again."

No matter what the situation was for Chen Mu now, there wasn’t much she could help with—she could only manage the household well, not neglect her cultivation, and aim to advance her Five Viscera Tempering to enter the Six Viscera Realm as soon as possible.

Now that Chen Mu had mastered the Three Feet Forbidden Domain, his Martial Arts in the Six Viscera Realm had already reached its peak. It was unlikely there would be any change soon; if she could step into the Six Viscera Realm early by her own abilities, she might gain a bit of strength to assist Chen Mu somewhat.

...

Ice State.

Frost County.

This place was the central prefectural government of Ice State and where the State Government Office was located. Stretching out was an endless ice plain, with most of Frost County situated atop a thick layer of ice which, below, housed a vast internal lake connected to the Outer Sea through some underground rivers, boasting rich resources that were difficult for ordinary people to access.

The gate of Ice Extreme Palace was located in the center of the ice plain. Upon arrival, the scene wasn’t merely ice but a visibly fierce mountain range exuding a somewhat scorching air, creating a striking contrast where ice and fire coexisted.

Volcanoes.

The combination of ice and fire created a unique natural wonder, leading to the formation of lush vegetation. The area was densely populated, serving both as the gate to Ice Extreme Palace and the location of the Ice State’s State Government Office.

Across the vast ice plain, the main force of Ice State’s militia was stationed here, while on the other side, foreign races from beyond the borders faced them, the two sides having been in a stand-off for months. Ordinarily, the foreign races would raid and leave, but this time they attempted to ally with the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Heavenly Corpse Sect to completely defeat Ice Extreme Palace and attempt to occupy Ice State.

However, owning the lands of Ice State, Ice Extreme Palace, and likewise the elite army of the Ice State were hard to surpass, struggling in this conflict for a long time. The Marrow Cleansing Supreme Elder of Ice Extreme Palace even intervened, but the foreign races also had Marrow Cleansing figures, and now both sides were at a stalemate with most of their forces locked here.

"Chen Mu is indeed not an ordinary man."

Inside the main hall of Ice Extreme Palace, the Palace Master Han Ling, after hearing the report from a protector, briefly fell silent before shaking his head. Their Ice Extreme Palace’s contemporary and leading disciple Han Cang had also stepped into the Six Viscera Realm but still couldn’t predict how many years it would take to reach the Wind Cloud List, not to mention following in Chen Mu’s footsteps.

Since the Yunni Sky Peak incident, the disparity between the young generation and Chen Mu had widened even further.

However.

As Chen Mu had mastered the Three Feet Forbidden Domain, he had essentially reached the current limit of Martial Arts. Going forward, he would either have to cultivate a Martial Body or develop a Domain, otherwise it would be hard to make further progress. The younger generation could simply gradually catch up.

But, being able to single-handedly slay three Demon Venerables of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and ranking among the top three on the Wind Cloud List at such a young age, was not so easily matched after all, since the difficulty of making it into the top three of the Wind Cloud List was for many even harder than becoming a Grandmaster.

"Drawing more attention from the Heavenly Demon Sect in any way is a good thing."

Ice Extreme Palace’s Great Protector Han Ming spoke quietly from the side; he was also an expert-ranked eighteenth on the Wind Cloud List. After Chen Mu had slain the wielder of the Cold Soul Blade, Situ Shu, he had evaluated his own strength, figuring that even if he couldn’t win against Chen Mu, he had a fair chance of retreating safely.

But upon hearing of Chen Mu’s slaying of the three Demon Venerables, he realized that the gap between himself and Chen Mu had substantially widened.

"Hmm."

Han Ling gave a slight nod.

With the foreign races from beyond the borders, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Heavenly Corpse Sect joining forces, their only option was to defend by the mountain gate, relying on the mountain’s formation power for defense. Nevertheless, dragging this out would only grow more disadvantageous, especially since resources within the State Government Office were limited. While those in the Six Viscera Realm and even the Marrow Cleansing Realm could manage without food or drink by assimilating Heaven and Earth’s Yuan Qi, the lower-realm disciples couldn’t do the same.

If it hadn’t been for the Heavenly Sword Sect constantly targeting the Heavenly Corpse Sect earlier, with swordsmen like Jiang Changsheng even approaching the battlefield near the State Government Office, adding pressure to the foreign races and the Heavenly Demon Sect, Ice Extreme Palace’s situation would have been even more difficult.

By now,

the Seven Profound Sect had stationed itself in Frost County, sweeping away many Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Corpse strongholds in one fell swoop. Chen Mu, the once-in-a-century peerless genius of the Cold North Path, even more so displayed his astonishing form by slaying three Great Demon Venerables, greatly relieving the pressure on the Ice Extreme Palace.

As for the talent Chen Mu had now revealed, being overly astonishing and impossible to estimate in the future, the Ice Extreme Palace had no time to care about such things at the moment, and even hoped the more astonishing Chen Mu was, the better. They wished he would comprehend the Domain the next day, become a Grandmaster the day after, and wipe out all the Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Corpses, turning them into flowing water. After all, even if another ’Martial Emperor’ were to emerge, having the world bow down, it would be better than having their sect gate breached by a foreign race.

Of course, everyone knew this was just wishful thinking.

At least for now, this battle, even as monstrous as Chen Mu was, he could not possibly influence the overall situation alone.

"The foreign race this time has teamed up with the Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Corpse, determined to engage us in a prolonged battle. Now that the Seven Profound Sect has resolved the trouble in Frost County, if we can transport Frost County’s resources to the State Government Office, continuing the battle, even if they have another year or half, they might not necessarily gain any advantage. If nothing unexpected happens, it is likely they will retreat in a few months."

Han Ming stroked his long beard.

Foreign races have always been opportunistic; if they can’t gain an advantage, they will probably retreat. Once the foreign race retreats, the remaining Demon Sect and Heavenly Corpse Sect are not worth worrying about. Their Ice Extreme Palace remained fearless.

But for now, the situation in Frost County still needed to be observed. Although the overall situation was set, the gathering and transporting of resources would not be easy, especially since there were thousands of miles between them and the Ice State Government Office. Neither the foreign race nor the Heavenly Demon Sect or Heavenly Corpse Sect would sit idly by.

"This matter still requires long-term planning, and the resources of the State Government Office are not yet in crisis,"

Han Ling said thoughtfully.

The group quickly cast aside matters concerning Chen Mu and continued to discuss the current situation in Ice State.

...

Frost County.

Chen Mu, at this time, did not know about the turmoil he had caused by slaying the three Great Demon Venerables. Soon after concluding the matter, he had quietly left the County Government Office of Cold North County without anyone knowing.

Leaving the Cold North County Government Office was not an abandonment of his post, but he was seeking a safe location to seclude himself for cultivation, because now he was truly only a step away from the Marrow Cleansing Mysterious Pass!

Marrow Cleansing!

With this step, he would ascend to the high realms of Martial Arts, with only one step away from Blood Exchange.

With his terrifying foundation and background, once he broke into the Marrow Cleansing Realm, his strength would undergo another transformation. By then, whether facing the war chaos in Ice State or the continuous turmoil in the Eleven Northern States of Cold North, he would have much more confidence.

It had not taken Chen Mu much effort to find a place for seclusion; he simply sought an uninhabited and desolate area. After ensuring no one was following him, he used the Earth Escape Technique to silently enter the deep of a Snow Mountain, where he hollowed out a space that could just accommodate him.

Not cultivating in the Cold North County Government Office was due to concern that the Heavenly Demon Sect might use some trickery after the death of the three Great Demon Venerables.

Not returning to the mountain gate of the Seven Profound Sect was because Qin Mengjun had been ambushed in the past, which made him extra cautious.

Mainly, with his abilities, in the wilderness finding a desolate mountain, by burrowing and using his technique, even if ten or eight Blood Exchange Realm beings conducted a carpet search, they would not be able to find him from deep within the mountain. After all, those of the Blood Exchange Realm were only human, not immortals.

[Experience: 0 points]

After Chen Mu had cleared a space inside the mountain, he sat down cross-legged, called up the system panel, and took out two types of nurturing spiritual objects that he had asked a steward of Spirit Profound Peak to exchange for him at the sect gate.

"It begins."

"The final tempering of the Six Viscera Realm."

He took a deep breath and then used up the two spiritual objects together, quickly turning them into experience points on the system panel.
