He descended the mountain along the Yunni Sky Steps.

Amidst the swirling mists, visible to the naked eye was a surging mass of Strength of Qian Heaven gathering around Chen Mu. However, this strength was so profound that it exceeded what Chen Mu himself could control, forcing him to confront it instead.

As he left the Yunni Sky Steps and reached the Upper Peak from the summit, the oppressive force around him finally lessened significantly, and the circulation of the Qiankun Artistic Conception became much smoother.

Whoosh.

No longer descending slowly, Chen Mu leaped forward, stepping directly into the Cloud Sea. With each footfall, a patch of cloud condensed under his feet, seeming almost substantial enough to support his leaps.

Thus, he leaped repeatedly through the Cloud Sea and then plunged downward, swiftly breaking through the clouds and descending from the Upper Peak to the Middle Peak, eventually reaching the foot of Yunni Sky Peak. Explore new worlds at novelbuddy

Without lingering, nor seeking any prey to hunt, Chen Mu left Yunni Sky Peak directly, striding tens of meters with each step. Moments later, he vanished at the base of the peak.

...

Bi Prefecture.

Returning to the Prefectural Government after two months, the place seemed much more peaceful.

Various groups from the Cold North Eleven States had mostly departed, and the settlements on the highlands returned to their usual tranquility. Most of the buildings and terrain damaged by strife had been repaired.

Walking quietly along the streets, Chen Mu encountered an endless stream of passersby. He occasionally overheard discussions about the ’Rising Stars Rankings’ and the ’Wind Cloud List,’ including his own name mentioned from time to time.

However,

no one recognized him as he passed through in his plain gray clothes.

That was the beauty of this world—no matter how famous or renowned one might be, as long as you walked through the streets like an ordinary person, you were seldom recognized, causing no disturbance at all.

Whether a Wind Cloud List master or a grandmaster, it was mostly the same.

"Be it the Heavenly Sword or Yin Yang, the Five Elements... Only through the invincible Qiankun and the unwavering resolve of Martial Arts, can one not rely solely on personal understanding to advance but must instead ascend gradually through battles and tempering," Chen Mu reflected, walking through the marketplace.

Martial Arts will was more ethereal than Artistic Conception, for Artistic Conception involved comprehending the forces of heaven and earth, while Martial Arts will depended solely on one’s heart. It was difficult to self-assess what level one had reached. However, after the battle at Yunni Sky Peak, he indeed felt he had much greater control over the Qiankun Artistic Conception.

According to many Martial Arts Scriptures, to be unwavering and have a clear conscience is generally enough to make significant progress through the Mysterious Pass and break through the grandmaster bottleneck.

"Unwavering and having a clear conscience are not so much levels of Martial Arts will as they are directions for its cultivation. Achieving these, one’s Martial Arts will naturally progress to a higher level," he thought.

While Martial Arts will was intangible, Chen Mu still had a rough assessment of it.

From the moment his heart’s intent became clear, his Martial Arts will formed its embryonic shape. Daily Solidifying Refinement took it to the First Layer; then, having mastered the Qiankun and Heaven and Earth Artistic Conceptions, and aligning them with his will, he naturally entered the stage of ’unwavering resolve,’ reaching the Second Layer.

Having experienced Yunni Sky Peak, although he had grown, he did not feel a qualitative change indicative of a different level. He was likely still in the ’Second Layer,’ where typically one must reach the ’Third Layer’ to break through the Mysterious Pass and become a grandmaster.

And, depending on the path one takes, the required strength of will varies.

To break through the Mysterious Pass using the Qiankun Artistic Conception is naturally hardest... but as the saying goes, ’there’s always a way out,’ and for now, he needed to enter the Six Viscera Realm and step by step complete the refinement and accumulation of the Six Viscera to reach the threshold of the Mysterious Pass.

Soon,

Chen Mu arrived at the Prefectural Government of Bi Prefecture.

Bi Prefecture, due to its unique environment, contains many vital resource mines for the Seven Profound Sect, thus the Prefectural Governor there was a figure of the Six Viscera Realm who had served as protector of the Great Profound Peak.

Chen Mu had already met with him during his previous visit to Bi Prefecture. This trip was simply a courtesy call. To Chen Mu’s slight surprise, Meng Danyun was also there.

"Why are you here too, senior sister?" Chen Mu asked Meng Danyun.

Meng Danyun was also a little surprised to see Chen Mu, a flash of astonishment in her eyes as she said, "I am here pursuing a criminal from the State Government Office, a Five Viscera Realm individual who fled to Bi Prefecture and is now unaccounted for. Have you just descended from Yunni Sky Peak?"

"Yes, I just got back," Chen Mu replied, his expression calm.

He walked toward the courtyard behind him, while Meng Danyun followed beside, her gaze on Chen Mu tinged with a hint of admiration.

She too had once ascended the Yunni Sky Steps to contemplate the heavens and earth at the peak. But after the reformation of the Cloud Sea, she had to descend the peak, along with the sect’s top disciples, all retreating within two to three days.

If Chen Mu had only descended today, it meant that after the Cloud Sea reformed, he had stayed at the peak for nearly a month. Yet compared to Chen Mu’s ascent to the Wind Cloud List as someone in the Five Viscera Realm, her initial shock at hearing about his achievements was somewhat greater.

Arriving at an inconspicuous courtyard in the Government Office,

officers hurriedly brought in many strips of dried demon meat. Chen Mu did not mind the simplicity, devouring them one after another while saying, "Given Bi Prefecture’s complex terrain, the criminal senior sister is chasing will not be easy to find."
