Chapter 450: Approaching Tide-Listening Cliff!

As the saying goes, ignorance of one's limitations can lead to disastrous consequences.

Though he had yet to fathom the depths of the earth, he now understood the heights of the heavens. Chen Mu felt a surge of emotion as he stood at the lofty height of over twenty thousand zhang, briefly lingering before taking a step forward and plunging back towards the mortal realm, his body tracing an arc through the sky.

He was like a fleeting shadow, swiftly crossing the vast expanse of the sea.

In the boundless outer sea, amidst the raging waves and terrifying tides, Chen Mu's presence seemed to calm the waters beneath him. The surging sea could not submerge his figure, and wherever he went, whether it was the fish demons in the depths or the bird demons soaring in the sky, all were filled with terror and scattered in panic.

In the past, when Chen Mu crossed the outer sea, he intentionally concealed his aura, which often attracted demonic creatures. But now, he no longer hid his presence or aura. The aura of his Major Blood Refinement was majestic and vast, and the sheer power of his Martial Body exerted a pressure on the outer sea's demonic creatures, akin to a supreme Tenth Stage Peerless Celestial Beast standing above them all.

The myriad demons scattered in his wake! Chen Mu felt a sense of exhilaration as he no longer needed to conceal his presence. He strode across the sea, his speed so swift that even a Grandmaster-level expert would struggle to keep up. He was like a sun-piercing rainbow, swiftly traversing the vast ocean.

In less than a day, he returned from the depths of the outer sea!

The golden rainbow traversed the sea, causing a stir wherever it went. Islands separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles felt the vast aura and the disturbance in the forces of heaven and earth.

"What is that?"

"What a terrifying aura! Could it be a Celestial Master passing by?"

A Grandmaster expert leaped into the air, ascending to a high vantage point to observe. He gazed at the distant golden rainbow, his pupils constricting as a sense of awe filled his heart. Even from such a distance, he could feel the overwhelming pressure emanating from it.

This Grandmaster was renowned in the area, one of the top experts among the nearby islands. Yet, despite being hundreds or thousands of miles away and only sensing a faint ripple, he still felt a tremor in his heart, a testament to the other party's terror.

In the outer sea, experts were aplenty.

Chen Mu made no attempt to conceal his presence as he crossed the sea. After traversing thousands of miles, he eventually caught the attention of a Blood Transformation Realm expert. However, the expert's reaction was not much different from that of the Grandmasters.

"Who...who is that?!"

A figure seated cross-legged on an elevated pavilion, exuding a profound aura, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the distance with a trembling gaze.

He was Xia Wenyue, the Supreme Elder of Flying Cloud Sect in the outer sea, a renowned expert in his own right. While Flying Cloud Sect couldn't compare to the likes of Tide Listening Cliff and the other two great sects, it was still a dominant force in the region.

But at this moment, upon sensing the aura of the passing figure, he felt an overwhelming pressure. If he were to face this person directly, he feared that even with his Blood Transformation Realm techniques, he might not last more than a few moves.

Who is this expert in the outer sea?

"The aura is so majestic and vast, it's not an ordinary Blood Transformation Realm. In the outer sea, only a handful of people can exert such pressure on me, but this person's aura is entirely different from theirs. As he traverses the sky, it's as if the entire heavens are aiding him, embracing the universe. He must be cultivating the Heaven and Earth Principle... Could it be him?!"

Xia Wenyue couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Flying Cloud Sect had stayed out of the affairs of Daxuan and even some matters in the outer sea. They hadn't even participated in the events at Seekwood Heavenly Realm. Yet, Xia Wenyue was still well-informed about the various occurrences in Daxuan and the battles within and outside Seekwood Heavenly Realm.

A peerless talent had risen from the ninety-nine states of Daxuan, mastering the Heaven and Earth Principle to an unprecedented level. Even in the Marrow-Washing Realm, he could battle against seven Blood Transformation Masters. His strength was almost inconceivable. Now, Xia Wenyue sensed the vast Heaven and Earth aura, undoubtedly reaching the Blood Transformation Realm!

"It seems it's him indeed."

Xia Wenyue stepped onto the edge of the pavilion, gazing towards the distant horizon and the golden rainbow spanning the heavens. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and his tone carried a hint of emotion.

It had only been two years since the battle at Seekwood Heavenly Realm, and although everyone believed that Chen Mu would eventually cross the Blood Transformation Threshold, no one knew how long it would take. After all, Chen Mu was only in his late thirties.

To reach the Marrow-Washing Realm and become a Grandmaster at such a young age was already considered a remarkable achievement.

But to enter the Blood Transformation Realm at this age was unprecedented. Whether in Daxuan or the outer sea, the youngest Blood Transformation Masters were in their forties or older. No one had ever managed to break into this realm before the age of forty.

Moreover, Chen Mu was no ordinary Blood Transformation expert. Even before reaching this realm, he had defeated seven Blood Transformation Masters single-handedly, and rumors suggested he could even challenge Celestial Masters. Now that Chen Mu had truly entered the Blood Transformation Realm, it was unimaginable how much his strength would increase. Ordinary Blood Transformation experts would likely struggle against his mere finger.

Looking across the entire world, there are likely very few Heaven Man experts who could match Chen Mu.

It's no wonder that upon his return, he made no effort to conceal his aura. Such a surging and vast aura almost announced to the entire world that he had entered the Blood Transformation Realm. Even Xia Wenyue, a master of his generation and an Overlord of the Outer Sea, could only admire Chen Mu's unrestrained display of aura in his heart.

At the very least, Xia Wenyue himself would never dare to act so freely in the Outer Sea.

Despite his formidable strength, he had many enemies. Recklessly displaying his aura would give others an opportunity to exploit his vulnerabilities, leading to ambushes and attacks, and causing unnecessary trouble. There was no need for it.

But for Chen Mu now, these concerns no longer mattered.

Xia Wenyue knew that Chen Mu had many enemies as well. Upon returning from the Seekwood Heavenly Realm, Chen Mu had even been surrounded by seven Blood Transformation Masters, yet now he acted with such freedom. This meant he no longer feared any enemy in the world. Although Xia Wenyue did not know the extent of Chen Mu's current abilities, it was clear that Chen Mu's mindset had truly transcended the world of martial arts.

Buzz!!!

A golden rainbow traversed the Outer Sea, causing ripples everywhere. As Chen Mu's golden rainbow crossed over, the news spread like a tidal wave, but the information flow in the Outer Sea was not smooth, and it would take some time for the news to spread far.

While all the experts were shaken by Chen Mu's return, Chen Mu himself had already crossed the vast Outer Sea and arrived at the shores of a magnificent and expansive island.

It was more like a landmass than an island.

This place was several times larger than Dragonwood Island. The size of this island was almost as large as half of Yuzhou in the Great Xuan Empire. From a distance, one could see numerous buildings on the island. In terms of population and prosperity, it probably surpassed Yuzhou by a considerable margin.

This was the main island of one of the three major powers in the Outer Sea, the Tide Listening Cliff.

In the easternmost part of this main island stood a towering cliff.

This cliff faced the sea, towering into the clouds, with a height of thousands of feet. Its top was already deep in the clouds, while the sea below roared and surged, occasionally producing waves that stretched for dozens of feet, crashing against the cliff. However, these waves were like tiny insects trying to shake a tree, unable to move this heaven-piercing, earth-shattering cliff.

On closer inspection, three grand and magnificent characters could be seen on the thousand-foot cliff, written from top to bottom, reaching from the sky to the sea: Tide Listening Cliff!

Buzz!!!

A golden rainbow pierced through the sky, gradually dissipating into the horizon. At the end of the golden rainbow, in front of the towering cliff, a figure appeared, standing with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire cliff.

The figure wore a silk robe, black as the night, and every movement exuded a majestic aura, as if embracing the sun and moon, facing the vast sea, and possessing the universe. It was none other than Chen Mu, who had returned from the depths of the Outer Sea! The Tide Listening Cliff was his first stop.

He had come to retrieve the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl stored at the Tide Listening Cliff to forge a Heaven-Earth Spirit Armament that suited him. He was also invited by the Supreme Elder of the Tide Listening Cliff, Cang Ming, to witness the Outer Sea's wonders and the Tide Listening Cliff's thousands of years of martial heritage.

"There are few joys greater than welcoming a distinguished guest."

Just as Chen Mu arrived at the Tide Listening Cliff and was overlooking the entire cliff, an ancient and cheerful voice echoed.

Cang Ming, the Supreme Elder of the Tide Listening Cliff, wearing a gray robe, appeared silently at the top of the cliff. The vast cloud sea nearby dissipated silently, revealing an elegant pavilion.

He looked at Chen Mu from a distance and bowed with a smile: "Congratulations, Peak Master Chen, on your great achievement. From now on, you will have few rivals in the world, and you can go anywhere!"

"Martial arts have limits, but the Dao is boundless. This is merely a milestone on the long journey of the heavens."

Chen Mu responded calmly.

Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, Cang Ming perceived the integrated Heaven-Earth Aura emanating from Chen Mu, where heaven and earth converged. He sighed, "Martial arts have always been led by the accomplished. Your understanding of 'Martial arts have limits, but the Dao is boundless' suggests that your insights into martial arts far surpass mine."

Martial Dao, a path of both martial arts and profound principles.

He knew that Chen Mu's strength, even before defeating the Mystic Pavilion Master and the other six Blood Transformation Masters, was already not far behind his own. Now, having entered the Blood Replacement Realm, Chen Mu's power would undoubtedly surpass his own. While he excelled in martial prowess, his comprehension of the Martial Dao might not necessarily be superior to the other's. After all, the other had dominated the Outer Sea for nearly two centuries and had cultivated in the Heaven and Man Realm for a hundred years.

In the 1619th chapter, a single glance revealed no errors in this version!

But upon hearing Chen Mu's brief words, he realized that even though Chen Mu had just entered the Blood Replacement Realm and had not yet reached the Heaven and Man Realm, his understanding of the laws of this world might not be inferior to his own.

In terms of age, Chen Mu was not even forty years old, making him a legend in his own right. Perhaps even after several thousand years, no one would be able to replicate the path that Chen Mu had taken.

Back then, Ji Hao's conquest of the chaotic world and the establishment of the Great Xuan made him a peerless figure. It was only due to the limitations of the environment and the joint efforts of the three major sects of the Outer Sea that the Great Xuan and the Outer Sea were able to coexist peacefully.

Now,

Chen Mu's rise to prominence is even more legendary than Ji Hao's a thousand years ago.

"These three characters were inscribed by our founding ancestor, who pioneered the development of martial arts in the Outer Sea. Unlike the Nine Provinces and Ninety-Nine States of the Great Xuan, it was only three thousand seven hundred years ago that the first Heaven Man emerged in the Outer Sea, and he was the founding ancestor of our Listening Tide Cliff."

At this moment, Cang Ming stood atop the Listening Tide Cliff, introducing the origin of the three majestic characters at the top of the cliff, which represented the thousands of years of heritage of the Listening Tide Cliff.

Chen Mu gazed upon the three characters. Even though thousands of years had passed, the strokes of the characters still conveyed a sense of unrestrained dominance and a majestic aura of ruling over the Outer Sea. Finally, he nodded slightly and said,

"Pioneering the martial path in the Outer Sea is indeed a legend of that era."

Speaking solely of the founding ancestor of the Listening Tide Cliff, his strength might not have matched that of the current Heaven Man experts, and he might not have even surpassed Cang Ming, let alone compare to him.

However, during that era when martial arts were not as prosperous in the Outer Sea, the fact that someone could rise from the vastness of the Outer Sea, become the first to comprehend the intention realm, achieve Heaven-Human Unity, and step into the Heaven and Man Realm, indeed made him a legendary figure of that time.

"Please."

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Cang Ming smiled and waved his sleeve, inviting Chen Mu.

Chen Mu remained calm and took a step forward, crossing the vast sea of clouds and reaching the top of the Listening Tide Cliff. He arrived at the secluded and elegant pavilion on the cliff.

Cang Ming's invitation and Chen Mu's ascent seemed like a peaceful event.

But almost the moment Chen Mu stepped onto the Listening Tide Cliff, countless gazes within the sect, all looking towards the cliff top, suddenly froze, their eyes filled with tension and solemnity.

These gazes came from the various grandmasters of the Listening Tide Cliff, and some of them, gazing at the cliff top, even had beads of cold sweat on their foreheads. Even the current sect master of the Listening Tide Cliff, a Blood Replacement Realm expert, had a grave expression.

Chen Mu!

He had entered the Blood Replacement Realm, and even without displaying his strength, he was already acknowledged as an invincible and dominant figure of his generation.

Chen Mu took a step across the sea of clouds and reached the top of the Listening Tide Cliff, essentially entering the heart of the sect. The Listening Tide Cliff, with its thousands of years of heritage, also had a grand formation for suppressing enemies. The power of this formation was no less than those of the top sects in the Great Xuan.

Daring to directly enter the formation's core, even a Heaven Man would be suppressed by the Vast Sea Array! Could Chen Mu be unaware of the danger of intruding into the heart of such a top sect?

But he came!

As if he didn't care at all.

Although the Listening Tide Cliff had no intention of opposing Chen Mu, his calm and collected entrance into the sect and ascent to the cliff top put immense pressure on the grandmasters and Blood Replacement Realm experts of the sect.

Facing Chen Mu, even if they wanted to establish friendly relations, their hearts couldn't help but feel unsettled.

"Everyone, calm yourselves."

The sect master of the Listening Tide Cliff, clad in a clean white robe, took a deep breath and spoke to the numerous grandmasters and elders, and they all withdrew their gazes and calmed their breaths.

The sect master then turned to someone beside him and said, "Are those two items ready?"

"They've been retrieved from the treasury."

"Send them up immediately."

"Yes."

Someone nodded and quickly left.

At the same time,

News of Chen Mu's return and his ascent to the Listening Tide Cliff spread rapidly throughout the Outer Sea, causing a huge stir!
