Da Xuan Martial Saint

With Qin Mengjun personally looking for a suitable Body Tempering Prescription for him, Chen Mu was greatly relieved and deeply grateful, wondering how he would ever repay Qin Mengjun's mentorship. After all, Qin Mengjun had entered the Blood Exchange Realm and stepped onto the final rung of the Martial Arts ladder, with very little left for him to do.

But Chen Mu did not dwell on this for long.

In this world, even the Blood Exchange Realm is not entirely free of struggles. In the future, Qin Mengjun would face challenges, and Chen Mu would eventually reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts, enter the Blood Exchange Realm, and become a Martial Saint unparalleled in the world, having the opportunity to help Qin Mengjun resolve difficult matters.

Gently pushing open the door of the bamboo hut, Chen Mu stepped out and walked toward the boulder not far from the cliff's edge. Soon, he reached the edge of the boulder and placed his hand upon it. With a mere thought, his qi connected with the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation.

Since Qin Mengjun had ascended to the Supreme rank and he had succeeded her as the Peak Master of Spirit Profound Peak, the Qiankun node at the cliff behind Spirit Profound Peak had completely become his. The remnants of qi left behind by Qin Mengjun were also taken away by her, now replaced by his own qi.

Qi connected.

In an instant, the familiar scenery unfolded. He felt entirely connected to the Seven Profound Mountain Range, becoming a part of this mountain chain, standing between heaven and earth, feeling the transformations of the universe.

For now, the situation in Ice State was temporarily settled, and the Seven Profound Sect had not yet decided to participate in the great battle of the State Government Office of Ice State, providing him with ample time for cultivation.

Chen Mu maintained the connection between his qi and the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation while with a thought, summoned the system panel.

During his involvement in the Han Prefecture conflicts, he had gained few insights into the Artistic Conception, but now he was just one simulation away from reaching the limit of the second step of the Artistic Conception. With the qi of the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation linked, his efficiency in contemplation was extremely fast.

"In no more than a month, the Qiankun Artistic Conception will reach the limit of the second step and touch the Domain,"

Chen Mu murmured to himself.

Since mastering the Qiankun Artistic Conception, years had passed, all his arduous cultivation and exploration of the universe were not in vain. Now, he was finally close to reaching the Qiankun Domain, hoping he could continue his cultivation smoothly and directly reach the realm of the Domain.

...

Time passed very quickly.

In just a blink, one and a half months had passed.

During this time, the situation in Ice State remained chaotic, only Han and another prefecture under the control of the Seven Profound Sect gradually restored order, while other prefectures continued to suffer the ravages of the Foreign Race, Heavenly Demon Sect, and Heavenly Corpse Sect.

Although the main altar of the Heavenly Demon Sect was destroyed, the old ancestor of the Heavenly Demon was still alive. It was said that he barely escaped after a fight with Yin Heng. At that level, it is very hard to kill someone definitively. Plus, with the death of those Venerables, including Demon Venerable Mo Yu, it was only part of the power of the Heavenly Demon Sect—a heavy blow, but far from a catastrophe that could annihilate the sect.

In this period, the Seven Profound Sect also suffered multiple retaliations from the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Foreign Race, resulting in several local fights and conflicts. News had reached Chen Mu, but none disturbed his secluded cultivation.

Mainly because Qin Mengjun, understanding Chen Mu's circumstances, knew that what he needed most now was a quiet and stable environment for secluded cultivation. Now her position in the Seven Profound Sect was on par with Yin Heng's. Having spoken with Yin Heng, she needed no reason to ensure that Chen Mu could safely stay inside the sect's gate to cultivate without disturbances.

Just like that,

Chen Mu stood next to the cliff's boulder, motionless like a stone sculpture, enduring wind and sun without a word, and thus quietly passed nearly one and a half months. Finally, on this day, just past noon, he slowly opened his eyes.
