Chapter 347: Returning to the Ice Province
Chapter 347: Returning to the Ice Province
In the bedroom, on the bed, Chen Mu embraced Xu Hongyu, carefully sensing the flow of blood and internal energy within her body.
Perhaps his movements were a little too much, as Xu Hongyu softly moaned, her charming face flushed like blood. It wasn't shyness, but rather the surging flow of energy and blood within her, which she couldn't completely suppress even at her current Quintessence Realm cultivation.
Her large eyes, still holding a hint of disbelief, looked at Chen Mu. As the person closest to Chen Mu, she had the deepest understanding of him. Before his departure to the Ice Province, she had always felt his energy as surging and abundant, but it was far less intense than what she was experiencing now.
The abundant and overflowing essence energy made her feel as if she were consuming some kind of heavenly spirit object. The transformed energy and blood surged within her like an unending tide, making her feel like a small boat in the river, her soul drifting along with the current.
"Husband, how did you..."
Xu Hongyu bit her lip, barely suppressing the surging energy within her. Her big eyes blinked at Chen Mu, and in her gaze, there was not only surprise but also a hint of joy.
It wasn't joy for herself, but rather the feeling Chen Mu gave her, which was so different from before that it sparked her curiosity. She wasn't an ordinary person ignorant of martial arts; she was also a Quintessence Realm cultivator. Although there was a vast gap between her and Chen Mu, their deep connection allowed them to clearly sense each other's changes.
Martial Body?
Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm? Even as these thoughts crossed Xu Hongyu's mind, she couldn't quite believe them. She knew how difficult it was for a martial artist to achieve the Grandmaster Realm. Chen Mu was only thirty-two this year, and in the history of Great Xuan, there had never been a Grandmaster at this age.
Moreover, Chen Mu cultivated the most challenging path, the Heaven and Earth Path.
"Before I went to the Ice Province, I was already close to achieving Bone Marrow Cleansing. This trip to the Ice Province can be considered the final step in my cultivation."
Chen Mu held Xu Hongyu in his arms and whispered in her ear.
At this point, there was no need to hide anything. Even if the world knew that he, a thirty-two-year-old Heaven and Earth Grandmaster, it wouldn't matter, and it wouldn't bring trouble or danger to Xu Hongyu and the others.
If it had been before he reached the Grandmaster Realm, there might have been people who would threaten him through Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, and other relatives, just like the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion. But from now on, unless he died, no one would dare to harm Xu Hongyu and the others.
After all, for a Heaven and Earth Grandmaster, harming his family would be meaningless and would only create unnecessary mortal enemies. Moreover, at Chen Mu's current level, anyone would have to consider the possibility of him becoming the second 'Great Xuan Martial Emperor' and whether it was already impossible to stop him. Once such a peerless powerhouse, who could aspire to rule the world, was on the path to immortality, no one would dare to harm his family.
What's more, Chen Mu had dual-cultivated with Xu Hongyu using the Heaven and Earth Martial Body, and this time, the energy and benefits he brought to her were far greater than before, to the extent that even a Quintessence Realm cultivator like Xu Hongyu would need some time to fully digest it. With her intelligence, she could easily guess the reason for this significant change.
Even if it seemed unbelievable, eliminating other possibilities, there could only be one answer.
"No wonder you kept telling me last time that you were fine. I always thought that you..."
Xu Hongyu looked up at Chen Mu's face, her eyes sparkling with a hint of radiance.
She still remembered how the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion had used her as a pawn to plot against Chen Mu, and how Chen Mu had absorbed demonic energy to save her. Although Chen Mu had assured her that he was fine, she had always felt that he was just comforting her. Now that Chen Mu had broken through the Mystic Gate and achieved the Martial Body and Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, perhaps what he had said before wasn't false.
The demonic energy trap set by the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion might have been completely harmless to Chen Mu!
"I told you before that the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion's schemes are useless against me."
Chen Mu caressed Xu Hongyu's smooth back and said, "Now that I've finally achieved success, it's about time to settle the score with the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion."
Xu Hongyu leaned against Chen Mu and listened to his words, prompting him with a soft voice, "The Mystic Mechanism Pavilion... Even though you've become a Grandmaster now, it's still not a good idea to provoke them."
She was well aware of the weight of a Heaven and Earth Grandmaster, as the saying went, 'When Heaven and Earth emerge, none can rival them.' A Heaven and Earth Grandmaster was the strongest among Grandmasters, and even at the initial stage, they could dominate their peers. But the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion was a major sect occupying an entire province, and its leader was a Blood Replacement Realm cultivator.
Chen Mu, backed by the Seven Profound Sect, had no fear of the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion, but if he were to fight them alone, there would be risks.
Hearing Xu Hongyu's concerned words, Chen Mu smiled and said, "My dear, you worry too much. If I want to uproot the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion, it's not the right time yet. However, the Earth Abyss in the Ice Province is about to open, and all the forces in the eleven provinces of the Cold Northern Region will be exploring it. I'll also go there in the next couple of days. If the opportunity arises, I'll collect some interest from the Mystic Mechanism Pavilion first."
(End of Chapter 347)
Chen Mu spoke lightly, downplaying his words.
But in reality, ever since the incident in Yu County where Xuanji Pavilion, using Xu Hongyu, plotted against him, they had crossed his bottom line. The deaths of people like Situ Shu were insignificant compared to settling this grudge.
Although Situ Shu and the others were the ones who plotted against him, such a significant event couldn't have gone unnoticed by the Xuanji Pavilion's Grandmasters like Fu Jingyuan. It was impossible for them to not be aware of the situation, let alone approve it.
At that time, he didn't have the power to pursue the matter further, so he could only hold Situ Shu accountable.
In front of Fu Jingyuan, he had no choice but to back down. It was only because Feng Hongsheng intervened and stopped Fu Jingyuan that he was eventually able to kill Situ Shu and eliminate Duanmu Chun and the others.
But now, things were different. Among the entire Xuanji Pavilion, the only person who made him slightly cautious was the mysterious Pavilion Master, and even then, it was just caution, not fear.
The opening of the Earth Abyss in Ice Province was an opportunity for him.
For him, exploring the Earth Abyss and finding some useful spirit objects wasn't difficult. By further enhancing his Heaven-Earth Body, he could reach the level of Great Accomplishment or even Perfection, giving him the ability to retreat even when facing a 'Heaven-Man Unity' expert.
"It's fine as long as you've thought it through, husband..."
Xu Hongyu leaned against Chen Mu, her heart still filled with ripples that she couldn't calm.
"There's also the Heavenly Corpse Sect. This evil path must be eradicated root and branch."
Chen Mu said calmly.
Xuanji Pavilion, the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and the Heavenly Demon Sect were all on his list for future eradication. Regarding the Heavenly Demon Sect, there was no need to say more. As for the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the grudge between them wasn't just a matter of once or twice, including the incident with Xu Hongyu's father, Xu Yichuan.
Xu Hongyu stared at the person close to her, listening to Chen Mu's words, her eyes shimmering with a faint glow, and her heart couldn't help but feel a bit of disbelief, recalling the past events.
Chen Mu.
In the 1619th chapter, a flawless version!
A 32-year-old Heaven-Earth Grandmaster.
Having reached this stage, he was qualified to look upon the world, glimpse the apex of the Martial Dao, and potentially become the founding Martial Emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty, a figure of utmost reverence.
Could such a person be someone she met and became acquainted with in a remote village outside Yu County? Step by step, he climbed the Martial Dao, and she eventually became his wife, so close yet feeling distant in a daze.
However—
This fleeting feeling of bewilderment was soon interrupted by the changes within her body.
Xu Hongyu felt the changes, her cheeks still retaining a faint reddish hue from the undispersed Qi. Looking at Chen Mu, she said, "Husband...how..."
"I won't be staying for long this time. I'll be going back to Ice Province to practice with you a few more times, so you can reach the Six Viscera Realm sooner and hopefully glimpse the Mystic Gate bottleneck."
Chen Mu spoke calmly, his expression serene.
"But..."
Xu Hongyu bit her lip lightly, her fingers clutching the bed sheets. "I already..."
The abundant Qi she had felt earlier had just barely subsided. After Chen Mu reached the Grandmaster realm, his physique was on a whole different level compared to before. She could handle it before, but now it was becoming increasingly difficult.
"It's fine. I'll have Xiaohe come over soon."
Chen Mu couldn't help but smile at Xu Hongyu's appearance.
Even with his exceptional talent and diligent cultivation, he couldn't afford to slack off. Regardless, he didn't want Xu Hongyu and Xiaohe to fall too far behind. After cultivating the Heaven-Earth Body and practicing the dual cultivation technique, the effects on Xu Hongyu were even better than he had anticipated.
With Chen Mu's help, Xu Hongyu could enter the Five Viscera Realm, and breaking through to the Six Viscera Realm wouldn't be too difficult. As for Xiaohe, although her talent wasn't high enough to reach the Five Viscera Realm, with Chen Mu's assistance, it might become possible.
At his current level, Chen Mu no longer worried about their cultivation progress.
In the future, even if he couldn't find the truth of 'Immortality,' his lifespan would far exceed that of Xu Hongyu and the others. Therefore, he hoped they could all advance in their Martial cultivation, allowing them to stay by his side for a longer time.
...
The next day, as the entire Frost North region stirred, Chen Mu quietly left the Jade Province's capital and headed north, returning to Ice Province.
