Chapter 213: The Heaven Principle Chart
Chapter 213: The Heaven Principle Chart
"Junior Chen Mu, paying respects to the Peak Master."
Chen Mu, with a single glance, understood all the realms that Qin Mengjun had mastered, and there was no surprise in his eyes. The gap in their cultivation levels was so vast that it was impossible for Qin Mengjun to conceal his true level.
Chen Mu walked to Meng Danyun's side and respectfully bowed to Qin Mengjun.
"You may rise."
Qin Mengjun's voice was gentle.
Meng Danyun whispered beside him, "Junior Brother Chen's talent and aptitude are too buried in Jade Prefecture. Elder Qi also believes that Junior Brother Chen should come to the sect to cultivate. So, I brought him to meet the Master first."
"Ah, Master..."
Meng Danyun was caught off guard. She had indeed harbored some thoughts, secretly planning to have Chen Mu become a direct disciple of Spirit Profound Peak. But Qin Mengjun saw right through her, and even revealed her intentions.
Qin Mengjun lightly descended from the rock, extending a slender finger to gently tap Meng Danyun's forehead before turning to Chen Mu. With a gentle expression, she said,
"My current state is not ideal. I often find myself in a daze, and my moments of clarity are few. If you were to become a disciple of Spirit Profound Peak, I might not always be able to guide you. From what I can see, you seem to be pursuing the Heaven Principle Path. Indeed, Peak Master Liu of Minor Profound Peak is also a Grandmaster of the Heaven Principle lineage. You are free to choose whichever path you wish."
Oh, the Master!
Meng Danyun secretly worried.
She was approaching the age of the Six Viscera Realm, and Spirit Profound Peak was still struggling to find a suitable successor. Qin Mengjun was openly expressing her concerns, causing Meng Danyun, the senior disciple, to feel anxious.
However, Chen Mu remained calm and peaceful, showing no signs of hesitation. He bowed and said,
"Junior wishes to become a disciple of Spirit Profound Peak."
Chen Mu had no particular preference for which peak to join. Given his connection with Meng Danyun, he was highly likely to choose Spirit Profound Peak. After his initial interaction with Peak Master Qin Mengjun, he sensed a grandmaster's demeanor and a serene personality, which aligned with his desire for a peaceful cultivation environment.
At least, for now, everything about Spirit Profound Peak—its environment, atmosphere, and other factors—seemed agreeable to him. So, he had no intention of switching to another peak.
"Hmm."
Qin Mengjun smiled at Chen Mu's choice, showing little change in her expression. She spoke gently, "Then you will be the next true disciple of Spirit Profound Peak, my fourth direct disciple."
"Disciple pays respects to the Master."
Chen Mu respectfully performed the bowing ceremony to Qin Mengjun.
The term 'true disciple' referred to those who could become disciples under the direct guidance of the peak masters of each peak. They were not only the senior brothers and sisters of their respective peaks but also had unrestricted access to all the scriptures and cultivation insights of the Seven Profound Sect.
Meng Danyun watched Chen Mu in surprise. Despite Qin Mengjun's statement about her potential inability to provide constant guidance, Chen Mu still chose Spirit Profound Peak. Meng Danyun felt relieved, but then she recalled something she had heard a few days ago at the Chen Manor, and a strange thought crossed her mind—could it be that Chen Mu was...
She quickly shook her head, dispelling the disrespectful thought about the Master.
"Alright, you may rise now."
Qin Mengjun smiled as Chen Mu finished the bowing ceremony. She said, "Regarding Spirit Profound Peak, if you have any questions, you can ask Master Sister Meng. Now that you've become my disciple, you can study all the scriptures and concept charts in the Power Transmission Hall. If you encounter any difficulties in comprehending the concepts, you can come to me. However, I can only guide you when I'm in a clear state of mind."
"Disciple understands," Chen Mu replied.
Qin Mengjun turned to Meng Danyun and smiled, "It seems this trip has been fruitful for you, Dan Yun. Your progress in both the Gales Wind Concept and Water Cavern Concept is commendable. You've finally overcome the hurdle."
"It's all thanks to Junior Brother Chen. Who knows where I'd be without him."
Meng Danyun looked at Qin Mengjun.
Qin Mengjun smiled and extended her hand, as if to offer encouragement. But halfway through the gesture, her movements slowed, and she stood there, dazed and motionless.
"Master, Master?"
Meng Danyun was not overly surprised by this, as it seemed to be a common occurrence. She softly called out to Qin Mengjun.
Qin Mengjun remained motionless, staring blankly at the treetops, just as she had when she arrived.
Meng Danyun sighed and took a step forward. She carefully placed Qin Mengjun's hand back down and then gently lifted her, carrying her to the rock where she had been sitting. She returned Qin Mengjun to her original position.
Qin Mengjun remained seated on the rock, gazing blankly at the treetops, just as she had before.
Meng Danyun then descended from the rock and approached Chen Mu. Noticing his bewildered expression, she explained in a low voice, "The Master is often like this. When she starts to space out, I'm supposed to put her back on the rock... But when she's in this state, you mustn't get too close. She can still sense and react to external malice. Even lustful thoughts are considered a form of malice."
"I see," Chen Mu replied, his expression revealing a hint of understanding. It seemed that even in her dazed state, a grandmaster like Qin Mengjun remained flawless. However, Meng Danyun's unnecessary reminder sounded a bit odd.
Chen Mu didn't probe further and followed Meng Danyun as they left the cliff. He asked, "Master Sister Meng, where should I stay at Spirit Profound Peak, and where can I find the concept charts for cultivation?"
Meng Danyun replied, "The valley at Spirit Profound Peak is where the outer sect disciples reside. Inner sect disciples live on the lower peak. As the fourth disciple of the Master, you can choose to stay in any of the upper peak's bamboo houses."
"As for the concept charts, the main hall has superior charts for all aspects except the Heaven and Earthly Primal Concepts. For the Heaven and Earthly Primal Concepts, Spirit Profound Peak only has engraving charts. If you wish to study the superior Heaven and Earthly Primal Concept charts, you'll need to go to the Power Transmission Hall. With your status, you can borrow and study all the concept charts within the Seven Profound Sect, except for a few restricted areas."
"Thank you, Master Sister Meng, for informing me."
Chen Mu expressed his gratitude to Meng Danyun.
As a true disciple, he had unimpeded access to the comprehension of all the classics and concept charts, which was exactly what he needed most.
"Let me take you to choose a place to stay first."
Meng Danyun spoke as she walked, "As for food, you can go to the lower peak and eat with the inner sect disciples, or you can have the disciples below send it up to you."
Following Meng Danyun, Chen Mu quickly chose a clean bamboo hut on the upper peak. He then learned about various matters related to Spirit Profound Peak from Meng Danyun, such as the current peak regulations. All inner and outer sect disciples under Spirit Profound Peak were forbidden to engage in private duels. If discovered, they would be expelled from the sect. If there were any grudges, they could seek resolution from the overseers in the main hall's enforcement hall, or they could be handled by the true disciples.
These peak regulations were limited to each peak, and different peaks had different rules. For instance, Minor Profound Peak did not prohibit private duels, so conflicts often erupted, and it was common to see bloodshed or even deaths.
In comparison,
Spirit Profound Peak was one of the most peaceful peaks.
After understanding these peak regulations, various trivial matters, and some situations of other peaks, Chen Mu finally gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Seven Mysteries Sect, no longer having only a vague idea as in the past.
After Meng Danyun left, the sky gradually darkened. Chen Mu returned to his bamboo hut alone. The interior was simply furnished with only a bamboo bed, a bamboo table, and a bamboo chair. Although it was elegant, it was much simpler than his life in Jade Prefecture, and he no longer had maids and servants attending to him.
However, Chen Mu didn't feel too uncomfortable.
He remained calm and composed.
"Finally, I've settled down."
He whispered, looking at the simple bamboo bed without any bedding, and then turned his gaze to the bamboo forest outside the window.
Under the night sky, the gentle breeze brushed past, rustling the bamboo leaves.
Chen Mu had been in this world for seven years and had lived in Jade Prefecture for the same duration. Although he had left Jade City several times before, he had never truly left Jade Prefecture.
This time, he had truly ventured far away, traveling thousands of miles to the Seven Mysteries Sect. He had settled down at Spirit Profound Peak, found a master, witnessed the grand and expansive earth meridian, the Heaven-Earth Dragon Lock Array, and the abilities of the Marrow Cleansing Master, approaching the pinnacle of the mortal world.
But finally, he had found a place to settle down.
Tomorrow.
He would begin to comprehend the Heavenly Firmament that belonged to him.
...
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The main peak of the Seven Mysteries Sect.
A certain courtyard behind the main hall.
Qi Ziyuan listened to a report from an overseer, shaking his head with a wry smile, "So he chose Spirit Profound Peak after all. Although Elder Qin's condition isn't good, true talent will shine wherever it goes."
He looked up at the sky.
He hoped that this overlooked prodigy from the New Talent Register would bring some surprises to the Seven Mysteries Sect in the future.
...
Great Mysterious Peak.
A certain building.
"Brother Zhou, that person... went to Spirit Profound Peak."
Someone stood outside the courtyard and whispered inside.
"Hmm."
A calm voice responded, and then silence ensued.
...
Just like that.
An ordinary day for the Seven Mysteries Sect.
Chen Mu entered the Seven Mysteries Sect and joined Spirit Profound Peak without causing any ripples. It wasn't until a few days later that news about him gradually spread, causing a slight stir within the entire sect.
But as time passed, Chen Mu became like a stone dropped into the sea, and no further news about him emerged. These ripples soon subsided and returned to calmness.
...
Located in the 'Central Valley', the Power Transmission Hall was structured according to the principles of the Eight Trigrams, and the room where the Heavenly Firmament was located.
The room was quiet and empty, with only a few meditation cushions on the ground. On the wall in front, a concept chart hung, one that Chen Mu had never seen before. At first glance, it seemed like a blank sheet of paper, but upon closer inspection, one could discover very faint brushstrokes, giving a sense of vastness and lightness.
Heaven Principle Chart.
Countless times, he had wondered how to obtain this chart and how he could place it before him for comprehension. Now, it quietly hung on the wall in front of him.
Chen Mu stood there, his expression calm, gazing intently at this Heaven Principle Chart that he had never seen before. Even though he had imagined what it might look like countless times, seeing it now still exceeded his expectations.
"Is this the Heaven Principle Chart...?"
This was a chart difficult to describe in words. On a blank sheet of paper, there seemed to be only a few sparse strokes, resembling wind, thunder, and fire, yet not quite any of them, giving only a sense of distance and unattainable vastness.
Just like that.
Chen Mu stared at the Heaven Principle Chart, lost in thought for a while. He took a slight breath and said, "No wonder I couldn't comprehend Gale Wind, Thunder Rumble, and Fiery Cauldron. No wonder they say the Heaven Principle Chart is a summary of Wind, Thunder, and Fire."
In just this short moment, Chen Mu experienced countless complex and profound mysteries in the Heaven Principle Chart, a chaotic array of phenomena that made it difficult to find its true essence.
Heavenly Firmament Concept.
It encompassed almost all martial arts transformations in the world.
The Heavenly Firmament included not only the sky and the earth but also the sun and the moon, as well as yin and yang.
Heaven Lake represented metal, Thunder Wind represented wood, Fiery Cauldron represented fire, Water Cavern represented water, Mountain Earth represented earth, and they also encompassed the five elements and their transformations.
Without the guidance of Gale Wind, Thunder Rumble, and Fiery Cauldron, the three phases, attempting to comprehend the Heaven Principle Chart would only result in a chaotic array of phenomena, a mixture of various images, in the end, might even make one unclear about the true nature of the Heavenly Firmament.
Even.
Despite having mastered Wind, Thunder, and Fire, and having reached the second step of comprehension in all three, Chen Mu still felt overwhelmed and confused when he first glimpsed the Heaven Principle Chart, finding it complex and chaotic, making it difficult to discern its true wonders.
Indeed, for an ordinary person to comprehend the Heaven Principle Chart, even with a foundation in Wind, Thunder, and Fire, would still find it challenging to grasp its mysteries. It would be extremely difficult to comprehend its essence, even with years of cultivation.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Chen Mu summoned the System Panel and quickly found what he was looking for.
[Martial Arts: Heavenly Firmament Concept (Uncomprehended)]
[Experience: 2 points]
[Available Simulations: 0]
"Very good."
Chen Mu closed the System Panel, and his heart immediately calmed down.
Heavenly Firmament Concept,
was not that difficult.
unknown.
