Da Xuan Martial Saint

Hum!!!

If previously, by relying on the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation to comprehend the heaven and earth, his entire being merged with the Seven Profound mountain range, as if his body transformed into the mountain range itself, observing the changes of this realm from the perspective of hundreds of miles of the mountain range, then now, as he used the system panel for the final deduction, he felt his own body disappearing without a trace.

His consciousness kept ascending, instantaneously merging with the hundreds of miles of the Seven Profound mountain range, yet it didn't stop there; it continued to spread to even more distant places.

Merging with the breeze,

Merging with the grass and trees,

Merging with the great earth,

Merging with the vault of heaven!

Even with the martial arts will of 'asking the way with no return,' Chen Mu's thoughts and musings became incredibly sluggish at this moment, as if they couldn't function at all. The world he saw was too vast, far beyond what mere mortals could bear.

In the boundless land of thousands of miles, it seemed as if he could clearly see the fluttering of a butterfly's wings anywhere, or hear every word spoken by a mortal distinctly. Endless information and insights flooded into his mind. Precisely because he could feel everything and experience everything, his very thoughts were suppressed to the point where he couldn't move in the slightest.

Trying to rise a wisp of self-thought was so difficult, as if it had to go through countless days and nights.

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

Chen Mu's mind flickered like a dim and weak flame, swaying as if it would extinguish at any moment, yet it also seemed boundlessly vast and extensive, majestic and vast, the very essence of heaven and earth.

His gaze fell upon the Seven Profound Sect, and wherever he looked, the entire Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation of the Seven Profound Sect held no secrets from him, as if he was observing all things from the perspective of heaven and earth.

Jin Ling'er, who was practicing her swordsmanship,

Meng Danyun, who was in seclusion contemplating,

Shen Lin, who was delegating tasks to the Sect,

...

His vision swept across familiar individuals, and wherever he looked, it seemed there were no secrets, all the auras, all the Inner Breath, all were seen clearly. And whether it was Jin Ling'er or people like Meng Danyun, they were all completely unaware.

Chen Mu's gaze then moved towards the depths of the Upper Peak of Spirit Profound Peak, where he saw Chu Jingsui still in seclusion, striving for the Mysterious Pass, then cast his gaze towards other peaks, watching the returning Peak Masters and Elders of the Seven Profound Sect, who, likewise, sensed nothing.

Finally.

Until Chen Mu's gaze turned to the Forbidden Land of the Seven Profound Sect, a figure standing quietly under a withered pine suddenly opened his eyes, as if sensing something, looked up to the sky, and said, "Which distinguished guest has arrived? Forgive me for not having greeted you from afar."

The figure under the withered pine was none other than Yin Heng, the Supreme Elder of the Seven Profound Sect.

He spoke these detached words, but his eyes revealed an unprecedented solemnity, and even his aura was already connected with the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation, ready to mobilize the Earth Pulse's Power beneath the entire Seven Profound mountain range at any time.

However, as time passed, that feeling of being watched by some unfathomable presence quickly faded, as if the gaze from the high heavens had moved away from the Seven Profound Sect, to focus elsewhere.

Realizing this,

Yin Heng's heart eased somewhat, but he still didn't sever his aura connection with the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation, maintaining a vigilant look towards the heavens as he murmured, "The third step of Artistic Conception, Unity of Heaven and Man? Who could it be?"

The three steps of Artistic Conception.

To peek, to touch, Unity of Heaven and Man. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

The so-called Martial Arts Domain is actually just a small manifestation of the 'Unity of Heaven and Man' based on the extreme of the second step, but compared to the true third step, they are worlds apart.

Once the Artistic Conception is comprehended to the third step, reaching the true state of Unity of Heaven and Man, the consciousness can almost instantaneously merge with the heaven and earth for hundreds or even thousands of miles around, leaving nearly no secret hidden in the world wherever the gaze falls.

Yet even among those in the Blood Exchange Realm, there are very few who could truly master the third step of Artistic Conception and achieve Unity of Heaven and Man.

At least,

For Yin Heng, within the Sect's grounds of the Seven Profound Sect, relying on the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation, he did not fear such characters. But if he encountered such an existence outside, even he would have no choice but to flee at full speed, as confronting them head-on would be impossible.

And that gaze just now, which seemed to descend from the high skies, that feeling of the entire heaven and earth merging with one's mind, was all too familiar to him—it was undoubtedly 'Unity of Heaven and Man,' but within the entire Cold North Eleven State, there were only two individuals at that level. Yet, none of them seemed to be the one who had just peered through.

"Coming from another region, then, for Mengjun?"

Yin Heng said to himself.

Qin Mengjun's advancement into the Blood Exchange Realm, as a newly-promoted Supreme, certainly could draw the attention of some top figures from other regions. However, since Qin Mengjun was not currently within the Sect, it also raised a trace of concern in his heart.

If it were him, facing such a person, even outside, he had some confidence he could escape. But with Qin Mengjun new to Blood Exchange, if she were to encounter such an individual, if the other party harbored any malice, it would be extremely difficult for her to get away unscathed.

After all,

Such beings had the qualification to be revered as Martial Saints in the realm of Martial Arts!

In the vast Cold North Eleven State, the only two were Yuan Hong, the Northern King, and 'Heavenly Blade' Gongyang Yu, also known as the Cold North Sword Saint!

Aside from those who have truly reached the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, even a strong figure like him in the Blood Exchange Realm would not dare to casually self-proclaim honorifics such as 'Martial Saint.'
