Yan Jingqing and Duanmu Chun engaged in a fierce fight. Despite the mist obscuring the visibility, the intense internal conflict was still perceptible, and this scene was witnessed fully by Chen Mu and Situ Shu.

Situ Shu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and now looked at Chen Mu with a stern face. The situation had indeed changed drastically from what had been anticipated earlier. Initially, he believed that Chen Mu’s strength would in no way surpass Yan Jingqing’s, and with him at the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion sub-branch, stability was expected. However, unexpectedly, Chen Mu’s strength was terrifying, and he could still suppress even one who had the advantage of the right timing.

The strength Chen Mu revealed at this moment was not merely that of the twenty-seventh position on the Wind Cloud List. He was far stronger, more than enough to be ranked in the top twenty, not even at the bottom of the twenty, at least closer to the top ten!

Otherwise.

It wouldn’t have been so difficult for him to resist, pushing him back step by step, even injuring him during their initial encounter.

You should know that under the suppression of the Winter Domain, although maintaining the domain was greatly strenuous, Chen Mu managing the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal couldn’t possibly be much easier. Constantly channeling that power also drained his stamina.

"Junior Brother Duanmu and others have underestimated you. Although you were eroded by the Demonic Qi, this experience has enlightened you and melded your heart and mind, bringing your Martial Arts will to the level of mine. You are merely in your prime, yet you’ve managed to solidify this will, with your comprehension, talent, and physique all trained to the limit. If your path in Martial Arts had been unobstructed, given another ten years, perhaps you could have entered the path with Qiankun and cultivated to become a Grandmaster. But now, you will succeed by will, and you will fail by will."

Situ Shu opened his mouth slowly, addressing Chen Mu.

That Chen Mu could achieve such a stage in such a short period of time, having recently entered the Six Viscera Realm, was indeed a demonstration of an invincible Martial Arts will of his generation, and his heart being unobstructed. However, by valuing emotions and righteousness, Chen Mu was bound to be plotted against, and no matter how much he tried to avoid it, the influence of Demonic Qi had helped him forge his Martial Arts will but ultimately scarred him too.

By speaking thus, he was trying to disturb Chen Mu’s state of mind and shake his thoughts.

However.

At that moment, Chen Mu just gazed at him indifferently and said, "When death is at your doorstep, do you always talk this much?"

"Hmph, arrogant!"

Situ Shu snorted coldly.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a massive imposing aura surged, not knowing what secret technique he used. His entire body suddenly revealed bulging veins, his face became fierce, and a visible layer of frost covered him.

It was as if he was forcibly extracting power from his Five Viscera, forcing them to crazily devour the Power of Heaven and Earth, solidifying it into Yuan Gang which flowed into his Cold Soul Spirit Blade, making the blade’s cold light even more severe.

Characters on the Wind Cloud List are all renowned masters from the Cold North Path, easy to suppress and easy to repel, but very difficult to completely defeat. Situ Shu, while having the strategic advantage, also found it difficult to kill Yan Jingqing, who ranked at the lower end. Similarly, if he encountered a top ten character from the Wind Cloud List, as long as the opponent fled with full strength, it wouldn’t be easy to kill him.

However.

He couldn’t retreat now.

On one hand, Duanmu Chun and many protectors were engaging Yan Jingqing in a decisive battle. On the other hand, Chen Mu had targeted the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion sub-branch for revenge. If he retreated now, the sub-branch and all its disciples would suffer misfortune.

Besides, he didn’t believe that Chen Mu could withstand a direct confrontation with him. Ultimately, he was the one controlling the domain. Even though Chen Mu, by leveraging the Qiankun Artistic Conception and controlling the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, could maintain "unceasing vitality," yet such intense confrontation would put tremendous pressure on Chen Mu himself. Chen Mu, having only recently broken through to the Six Viscera Realm, inevitably had less robust Yuan Gang.

As long as there was the slightest stiffness in Yuan Gang’s circulation, exposing a small flaw, it would be enough to turn defeat into victory for him.

"Come, let me experience the power of Qiankun once more!"

With a ferocious expression, Situ Shu shouted, sending vibrations in all directions, then instead of retreating, he suddenly lunged forward, aggressively counterattacking towards Chen Mu. He swung the Cold Soul Spirit Blade in his hand, releasing a brilliant beam of blade light.

The blade light, mixed with the dense Blade Qi in the air, almost seemed to freeze one’s thoughts with its intense murderous intent.

Chen Mu, calm and fearless, swung his blade to meet it.

This was his first time engaging with a character from the Wind Cloud List. Even though Situ Shu was ranked twenty-third but having the strategic advantage, he exhibited strength no less than those in the top twenty. To Chen Mu, he was neither too strong nor too weak, but precisely the perfect whetstone.

Exactly what he needed to hone his own Martial Arts, the performance of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, and the operation of Falling Flowers without Trace!

At this moment.

If Chen Mu had summoned the system panel, he would have seen not only his Qiankun Artistic Conception experience accumulating, but also other techniques, including the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal and Falling Flowers without Trace, steadily increasing in Experience Points.

As they say, from tranquility comes movement; the combination of motion and stillness can further enhance, through one’s own bitter training, the various techniques in real combat, digging deeper into their mysteries.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Amid the frozen, hazy mist, Chen Mu was surrounded by the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, colliding and clashing time and again with Situ Shu, setting off bursts of earth-shaking roars, their mighty noise having already frightened the surroundings.

"In chaotic times, a formidable figure arises. To have cultivated his skills to such an extent at this age is truly inconceivable; Zuo Qianqiu losing to him is utterly justified."

"Since the establishment of the Da Xuan Dynasty, it seems there have been only nine people who have mastered the Qiankun Path to become Grandmasters. If he succeeds, he will be the tenth. However, having been targeted by the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, his chances are slim."
