Chapter 461: A Gathering of Heroes (8k5) (Part 2)
Seeing this gray-robed figure, the many masters and sect leaders all paused, bowing respectfully.
"Old Manor Lord!"
The person who appeared was the former lord of Tiance Manor, a powerful figure in the Blood Transformation Realm.
At this moment, the old lord's expression was solemn, his eyes stern as he stood before them, gazing into the distance. After a brief pause, he finally took a deep breath and slowly said, "It's not a Heaven-Human Realm expert."
"Although the heavens are making way for them, they are forcing their way through with power, not controlling the heavens. This indicates that they have not yet stepped into the Heaven-Human Realm... In today's world, there are no Heaven-Human experts in the nine regions. Only that person from the Cold North has the power to force the heavens to make way for them."
Hearing this, the many masters and sect leaders of Tiance Manor were briefly stunned, but they all agreed with the old lord's judgment. In other words, the rainbow that had just crossed the sky was indeed Chen Mugui of the Seven Mysteries Sect. Chen Mugui had returned to the Great Xuan not long ago, and today he suddenly appeared in the Liu State.
No.
The other party's destination was not the Liu State. Seeing the direction he was heading, it was clear that he was heading towards the center of the Jingji Region, the heart of the nine regions, the Central State of the Great Xuan!
Chen Mugui was heading to the Central State!
Upon realizing this, the many masters and sect leaders all took a breath, looking at each other with a sense of foreboding. They all had a feeling that something big was about to happen today!
"Tiance Manor disciples, listen up!"
At this moment, the old lord suddenly turned around, his voice heavy with authority. "Today, Tiance Manor is sealing the manor. Gather the disciples, and until I return, no one is allowed to leave the manor easily. Guard the manor and prepare for any surprises!"
"Yes."
Elder Gu Yuan and the others all responded.
This chapter is based on the original chapter, and there are no errors in the text.
As his words fell, the old lord leaned on his staff and took a step forward, disappearing from the manor. The direction he was heading was also towards the center of the ninety-nine states, the Central State of the Great Xuan!
...
Similar scenes were unfolding across the Liu State.
In the Hao Ran Sect, the Qinglian Sect, and the Jinqiang Gate...
Whether it was the external sects that had settled in the Liu State or the local sects, within a short period of time, they were all in a state of commotion. One by one, figures emerged from their sect residences, some hiding their presence, while others quietly took to the skies. They all moved in the same direction - towards the Central State of the Great Xuan!
...
Such scenes were not limited to the Liu State. They were spreading and expanding further.
From the Liu State to the Shang State, and then to the Jiang State... The closer they got to the Central State, the more prosperous the cities became, and the more powerful sects they encountered.
On this day, figures looked up at the sky, some emerging from secret locations, while others came out of seclusion. With solemn expressions, they all issued commands, and one by one, they set off.
Chen Mugui transformed into a long rainbow, spanning the heavens, undoubtedly heading straight for the current Great Xuan Imperial Court!
This man, perhaps now the strongest martial practitioner of his generation, might be about to clash with the Great Xuan Imperial Court, which has ruled the world for over a thousand years. Such a spectacle is something that few Blood Transformation Realm experts could resist witnessing!
Moreover, many Bone Marrow Washing Grandmasters gazed toward the Central Region, their eyes flickering with excitement. They too wished to witness the event, but their speed was far too slow to keep up. Even if they pushed themselves to the limit, they would likely still be too late.
Furthermore, the confrontation between Chen Mugui, a peak martial practitioner, and the new emperor, Ji Xuanfei, and the Great Xuan Imperial Court, was not something that ordinary people had the right to observe. Even the Blood Transformation Realm experts were filled with agitation. Most of these Bone Marrow Washing Grandmasters had a clear understanding of their own limitations, but all of them harbored the same thought.
In the present world, was it Chen Mugui, who had reached the pinnacle of personal martial power and could dominate the world, treating the imperial court as nothing, or was it the Great Xuan Imperial Court, which had accumulated boundless power over a thousand years, capable of suppressing everything?
No one knew the answer.
...
Central Region.
From the sky above.
The entire Central Region was dominated by nine mountain ranges that undulated like nine dragons, encircling a vast plain at the heart of the land. On that plain lay the center of the Great Xuan's ninety-nine provinces, the largest city in the world, the Imperial Capital.
In addition to the nine mountain ranges, the region was divided into numerous expansive plains, dotted with towns and cities. Counties with populations of tens of thousands were common, and prefectures with millions of inhabitants were spread throughout.
In the vast blue sky, a golden rainbow streaked in from the north, spanning tens of thousands of miles, finally reaching the Central Region.
Within that golden rainbow, Chen Mugui floated in the air, now looking down at the Central Region encircled by the nine dragons. His pace slowed slightly as he gazed down at the vast expanse of land, feeling a sense of grandeur and the weight of destiny.
"The Central Region is indeed prosperous," Chen Mugui commented calmly as he walked through the air, surveying the land below.
He had come from the Cold North, and the further he traveled into the Central Region, the more prosperous the areas became. In the Jade State, there were still many barren lands, but after entering the Liuzhou region, such areas gradually decreased. By the time he reached the Central Region, the prosperity far exceeded that of the Jade State.
City after city rose majestically, each county almost as grand as a prefecture in the Jade State. The Central Region covered an exceptionally large area, making it the largest province in the world, nearly twice as vast as the Jade State.
Swish.
Chen Mugui did not linger long on the outskirts of the Central Region. After a brief gaze at the scenery, he took a step into the vast cloud sea, entering the Central Region, the very heart of the Great Xuan Empire!
At this moment, Chen Mugui had already sensed the turmoil from all directions. Many Blood Transformation Realm experts were looking toward the Central Region and heading in that direction, some of whom even emitted the aura of Heaven and Man Realm practitioners.
But Chen Mugui paid no attention to them, merely glancing once before withdrawing his gaze.
Hum!
A golden rainbow streaked across the sky.
Even in the Central Region, where martial arts were most prosperous, even Blood Transformation Realm experts often dared not act so recklessly, usually restraining themselves. Only Heaven and Man Realm masters had the audacity to act so freely.
"No, it's not a Heaven and Man Realm practitioner. He controls the Way with sheer force, subduing the heavens and earth... Could it be the one from the Cold North!"
"He only returned to the Cold North a few days ago, and now he's come to the Central Region alone?!"
In the vast and prosperous Central Region, whether it was the Blood Transformation Realm Supreme Elders or the Bone Marrow Washing Grandmasters, all were shaken by Chen Mugui's aura sweeping across the sky. Their hearts were filled with a tumult of emotions.
Something significant is about to happen!
Chen Mugui's grand arrival in the Central Region could not be just a casual visit. His lack of restraint was itself a form of intimidation toward the Great Xuan Imperial Court. Such a scene had not been seen in the Central Region for two to three hundred years!
Even during times of turmoil and division, no Heaven and Man Realm master had acted so freely in the Central Region, all maintaining a certain level of respect for the Great Xuan Imperial Court.
Moreover.
The direction Chen Mugui was heading was straight toward the heart of the Central Region, the location of the Imperial Capital, suggesting that this was not just a simple visit!
Around this time.
In a simple and ordinary Daoist temple nestled in the mountains of the Central Region, a figure in Daoist robes sat cross-legged with his eyes closed on an ancient pine tree, his body swaying with the tree.
He was none other than one of the top Heaven and Man Realm masters of the current era, the Mystic Heavens Master!
Not far from the Mystic Heavens Master, an unkempt old Daoist, dressed in tattered clothes, held a copper wine flask, gulping down wine while a pile of copper coins and turtle shells lay before him.
His eyes were fixed on the coins and shells, occasionally scratching his head in confusion.
"Strange, strange, how can the heavenly numbers be so chaotic..."
"This is not ordinary; something significant must be happening. Senior Brother, do you have any idea?"
The old Daoist tugged at his messy, uneven beard, pulling several times before turning his head to look at the Mystic Heavens Master sitting on the ancient pine tree.
The Mystic Heavens Master's body swayed with the ancient pine as the wind blew, and his entire being seemed to ripple like a pine needle, his eyes closed, not opening as he spoke in a calm tone, "The changes in the heavens have their reasons. Overthinking it is of no benefit."
"But this doesn't feel right, it's quite off..."
The old Daoist tugged at his beard, and in a moment of distraction, he plucked out a few strands, unaware and still muttering to himself.
Just then, the gentle breeze in the courtyard suddenly stilled, along with the ancient pine, the Mystic Heavens Master's Daoist robe, and even the old Daoist himself, all froze in place, as the Mystic Heavens Master sat with his eyes closed, contemplating the heavens for an unknown duration.
"Hmm?"
A glimmer flashed in his eyes, gazing into the distant sky, and a ripple of energy stirred within him. In an instant, the ancient pine, the pavilion, and the stone platform all crumbled into dust.
But in the next moment, he waved his right hand, and the pine and pavilion were restored.
"Senior Brother?"
The old Daoist was startled by this sight.
His senior brother, the Mystic Heavens Master, had been contemplating the heavens, his mind in sync with the world, and any ripple would manifest in the outside world. But it had been many years since he had seen any disturbance in the Mystic Heavens Master's mind, so what had he sensed?
Tap, tap, tap,
The Mystic Heavens Master no longer sat beneath the ancient pine but strolled down, taking a few steps forward and gazing up at the sky. His eyes deepened as he spoke, "There's no need to peer into the heavens. He has arrived in the Central Region, and the heavenly order is in chaos, which is not surprising."
Hearing the Mystic Heavens Master's words, the old Daoist was first startled, and then his eyes too rippled with emotion. He leaped up, whole body trembling.
He, of course, knew who the Mystic Heavens Master was referring to.
Looking across the world, countless figures could be found, but only one could cause such chaos in the heavenly order just by arriving in the Central Region. Such a person, who could cloud the heavenly order, was likely a rare find in all the world.
Cold North, Chen Mu!
"It's that boy! He's come so fast!"
The old Daoist's eyes widened in surprise.
Having traveled the world, encountering countless figures, including secular nobles and the various masters of the Three Teachings and Nine Streams, and having studied the fates of the Heaven's Pride, there was only one person who had left him in awe to this day, and that was Chen Mu!
He vaguely recalled that many years ago, when he traveled to the Cold North, he had searched for a special person with an unpredictable fate in Yuzhou. By chance, he met Chen Mu, who at the time was just a small figure in a remote county, with a slightly known name, not even close to the fame of those from true disciples of sects. But Chen Mu's fate was strangely unpredictable.
He had tried to divine Chen Mu's fate but couldn't get a clear reading. Later, he intentionally appeared to try and guide Chen Mu, hoping Chen Mu would ask him for a reading, so he could calculate the heavenly order. But Chen Mu didn't fall for his trick.
Since there were many others with unpredictable fates in the world, just in Yuzhou, he had met more than one. Not succeeding in his test, he didn't pay too much attention, recording it and then leaving Yuzhou to continue his travels.
But after that.
Chen Mu began his rise in Yuzhou, and within a few short years, his name shook the region, even reaching the old Daoist's ears!
This left the old Daoist astonished, and he actively began to follow Chen Mu's journey. Again, within a few short years, Chen Mu soared, mastering the Heaven and Earth Principle and entering the Grandmaster realm. He further made a name for himself in the Cold North, becoming renowned throughout the world after the battle at the Ice State's Abyss.
At that time, the old Daoist had mentioned this to the Mystic Heavens Master, who showed some interest but not too much, after all, the Mystic Heavens Master was one of the top Heaven and Man Masters in the world, his Martial Dao cultivation was already at its peak, and even though Chen Mu was a brilliant talent, having mastered the Heaven and Earth Principle, he still hadn't reached a level that would catch the Mystic Heavens Master's attention.
Until,
Chen Mu's battle in the Outer Sea, where he defeated seven Blood Transformation masters, shook the Outer Sea and finally caught the Mystic Heavens Master's attention!
After this, Chen Mu achieved the Blood Transformation Realm and returned to the Great Xuan, which also reached the Mystic Heavens Master's ears.
At the Mystic Heavens Master's level, secular matters were of no concern, and he pursued only the Martial Dao. For someone in the world to appear who was qualified to discuss the Martial Dao with him was enough to stir ripples in his heart.
"Since Senior Brother's heart has already stirred, why not invite him here for a discussion?"
The old Daoist said, looking at the Mystic Heavens Master.
The Mystic Heavens Master gazed into the distance, his eyes deep, and spoke in a light tone, "He has come to the Central Region for the grudges of the past. It's not convenient to interfere. Besides, it's less than two years until the next Kunlun Debate, and that's not too long to wait."
"The Kunlun Debate..."
The old Daoist sighed lightly at these words.
No one knew when it began, but every thirty years, the top Heaven and Man Masters in the world would gather at the peak of Kunlun Mountain, the number one peak in the world, to discuss the Martial Dao. This tradition had a history of thousands of years, even predating the founding of the Great Xuan Dynasty. Only those who had reached the Heaven and Man Realm were qualified to participate, and even the Blood Transformation Realm was not enough.
He also wanted to participate in the Kunlun Debate with the Mystic Heavens Master, but sadly, he had yet to reach the Heaven and Man Realm.
However,
After a brief sigh, the old Daoist suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "Oh no, if I don't hurry, I'll miss the excitement!"
Chen Mu's arrival in the Central Region meant he would be heading to the capital. He wasn't like the Mystic Heavens Master, a Heaven and Man Master who could hear things thousands of miles away. If he didn't hurry, he might miss Chen Mu's actions!
The Mystic Heavens Master wasn't in a rush to discuss the Martial Dao with Chen Mu, as those who stood at the peak of the Martial Dao would eventually meet. But he was getting impatient, as after Chen Mu entered the Blood Transformation Realm, few in the world had witnessed Chen Mu's skills!
