Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 355 - 247: The Reunion

"Junior Brother, now that you are established on the Wind Cloud List, in many people’s eyes you are no longer a novice of the younger generation, you must be more cautious and guard against secretive schemes going forward," Meng Danyun warned Chen Mu once more.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister," Chen Mu replied.

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

With the strength he possessed now, it was no longer easy to scheme against him. If he were to deduce the Qiankun Artistic Conception a couple more times, his perception of Heaven and Earth would expand even further. Like the ambush he had encountered in the desert, it would be difficult for him to fall for similar ploys again.

If it weren’t for such ambushes, even if a Grandmaster were to make a move against him, he was confident he could escape. After all, not only was his own strength already formidable, but he also possessed a Qian Heaven Seal refined by Qin Mengjun.

"Alright, then you should rest for now, Junior Brother. I will not disturb you further. If you ever need Senior Sister’s assistance, just call on me whenever you wish," Meng Danyun added, nodding slightly to Chen Mu before departing the courtyard.

Chen Mu watched Meng Danyun leave, then his gaze fell back to the table. He picked up several Spiritual Objects, turned around, and walked back to the little hut in the back, closing the door. He told everyone outside not to disturb him unless necessary.

He then sat down by the bed.

The bedroom was small yet exquisitely furnished, with a bed made of yellow rosewood and covered with a brocade quilt. It was nearly two years since he had slept on a bamboo bed at Spirit Profound Peak, but to him now, whether it was luxury or simplicity, there was no difference. Heaven and Earth could serve as his mat and blanket.

Without much delay, Chen Mu summoned the system panel and then deduced the Qiankun Artistic Conception for the third time.

In an instant, the Qiankun Eight Phases surged into his mind. Realizations flooded his thoughts, with eight different halos interacting with each other: sometimes generating the Five Elements, sometimes merging into Yin and Yang.

In just a moment, it was as if he had obtained several years of memories and experiences of comprehending the Qiankun Eight Phases, but for Chen Mu, there was no discomfort as this wasn’t his first time deducing the Qiankun Artistic Conception.

Before long.

He awoke from his absorbed state of comprehension.

"This Qiankun Artistic Conception truly becomes more difficult the deeper one goes. The nearly two months I spent in contemplation at the summit of Yunni Peak were still far from sufficient to complete even a minor stage of advancement on my own," he sighed in his heart.

After all, the Qiankun Artistic Conception comprised the Eight Phases. To prevent an imbalance in Qiankun, one must advance all Eight Phases together—there was no doubt about the difficulty of cultivation, and it only increased as one delved deeper.

To break through the Mysterious Pass and become a Grandmaster, a Martial Artist needed a solid Yuan Gang foundation in the Six Viscera Realm, Solidifying Refinement of Martial Arts intent, and depth in their Artistic Conception. None of these three aspects could be lacking.

The more substantial the Yuan Gang foundation, the more Solidifying Refinement the Martial Arts intent, and the deeper the Artistic Conception, the easier it would be to break through the Mysterious Pass.

For someone like Meng Danyun, once she reached the pinnacle of Six Viscera Tempering, and if her Martial Arts intent could reach the Third Layer, her chances of breaking through the Mysterious Pass would increase significantly. Moreover, if she could push the Two Artistic Conceptions of Xun Wind and Kan Water to the limit of the second step, breaking through the Mysterious Pass would almost be a certainty.

However, Martial Artists have a limited lifespan. Forty years of age is typically the ultimate limit to attempt the breakthrough to the Mysterious Pass. If one still cannot break through by that age, the declining vitality of Qi-Blood in the body will gradually eliminate the possibility of becoming a Grandmaster.

With these various constraints, it is clear why becoming a Grandmaster is so difficult.

In the eyes of many, Chen Mu, if solely cultivating the Qian Heaven Artistic Conception, given his talent and understanding, could very well push the Qian Heaven Artistic Conception to the limit of the second step before the age of forty. And if his Martial Arts intent didn’t face any unexpected issues, and his foundation was equally solid, then becoming a Qian Heaven Grandmaster would almost be a sure thing.

But cultivating the complete Qiankun Artistic Conception? The difficulty would at least double!

To advance the Qiankun Artistic Conception from the initial second step to the extreme limit in ten years?

Too difficult!

Even though Chen Mu had grasped the Qiankun in just a short two years, in many people’s eyes, this was still an unachievable feat. After all, the deeper the comprehension of an Artistic Conception, the more difficult it is to progress further.

What’s most crucial was the lack of guidance from either the ’Eight Phases Diagram’ or the ’Original Eight Phases Diagram’.

If one could have one of these two guides, the efficiency of a Martial Artist’s comprehension of the Qiankun Artistic Conception would surely increase significantly. For those with good understanding, reaching the extreme limit of the second step in eight to ten years would be within reach, and becoming a Qiankun Grandmaster would be much easier.

"The fourth time."

Chen Mu took a deep breath, processed the insights from the third deduction, and immediately began the fourth.

Memories flooded in as before, but this time there was a slight difference. It was as though he was cast into the midst of chaos, which then parted the Yin and Yang and differentiated the Five Elements, evolving before his eyes into the Qiankun Eight Phases step by step.

The pure rose to become Heaven, the turbid sank to form Earth, mountains rose and lands formed, seas and lakes were vast, thunder and fire intermingled, wind and water converged.

Then all the Eight Phases transformed into threads, stretching and interweaving, gathering in his line of sight. Where he looked, the whole world seemed to become countless interlaced threads of various colors.

"Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun..."

In a daze, he reached out and touched each one, casually scooping up threads into his hands, clearly sensing the mood of each thread. Though called threads, they were actually the embodiment of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The Power of Heaven and Earth is formless yet formative, substanceless yet substantial, changing at will.

"The universe itself is also an evolution, formless yet formative, substanceless yet substantial. A part of the Power of Heaven and Earth exists materially, forming mountains and rivers, the elements of nature, while a far greater portion remains hidden in the formless. Those who have not grasped an Artistic Conception only see a fraction of the world with their eyes, but only by realizing an Artistic Conception, a complete Qiankun Artistic Conception, can one peer into the deeper mysteries of Heaven and Earth," he thought.
