Chapter 481 Chen Mu Appears
"After thirty years of not seeing him, his sword intent has become even more terrifying."

Some people who were at the Blood Exchange Realm looked up at the top of Kunlun Mountain, and looked at Donglin Sword Master Gu Xiaochen standing there with stern eyes.

They could all see that the wisps of sword energy emerging from Gu Xiaochen's surroundings had tremendous power to them. Every strike was unbearable for them, and they would either die or be injured!

After all, they are the top celestial beings in the world, and they have almost reached the end of the martial arts path in this world. Their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary celestial beings. Even the strongest blood exchange realm, as long as they have not stepped into the celestial realm, will be powerless in front of them. Even once they fight, there is a high probability that they will not be able to escape!
A person at the Blood Exchange Realm like Yin Heng can escape from the hands of a celestial being, but that is only relative to ordinary celestial beings like Yang Qingshan and Ruan Tian. If he were in front of one of the five greatest masters of the world like Donglin Sword Master Gu Xiaochen, there would be no way he could escape!
Yin and Yang, four seasons, five elements, six harmonies...

Only by practicing a complete martial arts path to the end, achieving blood exchange and reaching the level of heaven and man, can one be ranked among the peerless heaven and man and become a figure at the level of Donglin Sword Master and Xuantian Taoist Master. They are peerless figures in the realm of marrow washing, stronger than those of the same level. Naturally, they are even more powerful when they step into blood exchange and even the level of heaven and man.

In Ji Yongzhao's evaluation of the ninth level below the Gods, these top celestial masters of the time were defined as barely reaching the threshold of the third level below the Gods.

And someone like Ji Hao, who has mastered peerless martial arts with a complete universe, has truly stepped into the third level below God.

The gap between Qiankun and the artistic conception of Yin and Yang, four seasons, five elements, etc. is not that between heaven and earth. The reason why Qiankun is stronger is that it can accommodate everything, evolve Yin and Yang, four seasons, five elements and six combinations, encompass everything, and carry the end of heaven and earth, and is therefore slightly stronger.

It is inferred that the only thing that can be compared with Qiankun is "Hunyuan", which carries the origin of heaven and earth.

It’s a pity that Hunyuan symbolizes disorder and chaos. Although one can comprehend it a little bit when reaching the celestial level, when one’s realm is low, it is simply not enough to comprehend the way of Hunyuan. Therefore, there is no Hunyuan lineage in the martial arts world.

If we have to say it, in fact, the ultimate destination of the transformation of sword and knife methods such as Tianjian and Tiandao is Hunyuan. What they want is to use one sword to divide yin and yang, transform into the invisible, and open up the world. What they naturally take is to trace the path of Hunyuan from the end to the beginning.

But so far no one has been able to completely navigate this path.

"Sword Master hasn't taken action in more than ten years."

"Well, it is rumored that he once killed all the monsters with one sword in the deep sea several years ago, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

Some people whispered to each other.

Although they all tried to suppress their voices, there was still some respect in their tone. After all, Gu Xiaochen was a master of heaven and earth. Although this place was still some distance from the top of the mountain, it was hard to say whether the sounds of each other's discussions would reach his ears.

“The time should be coming soon.

Someone looked up at the dark sky and said to himself.

There is no specific time for the Kunlun Forum, but in the past, it always starts at noon on this day. All the celestial masters who go to Kunlun will climb to the top of the mountain and discuss the current martial arts at the top.

Looking at the time now, it is almost noon, but Donglin Jianzun is still the only one on the top of the mountain.

but.

Just as everyone was looking up at the sky and wondering about the time, someone's eyes suddenly flashed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the distant horizon. He saw a black shadow breaking through the air in the sky not far away.

Although the black shadow was extremely far away and almost blurry, for some reason, it gave people a feeling as if they could see its shape clearly. The first instinct that came to their mind was - a knife!

Swish!
The black shadow broke through the air, like a long sword cutting through the sky. Wherever it went, it tore a long crack in the void. It moved freely in the sky above 16,000 feet, and just like that, it crossed over and landed on the top of Kunlun Mountain!
The person has not arrived yet, but everyone present already knows who the person is.

Hanbei Sky Sword,

Gongyang Fool!
But the man was seen landing on the top of Kunlun Mountain. He was wearing a simple linen shirt, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was old. He did not look like a contemporary swordsman at all, but more like an ordinary old man chopping wood.

But despite this image, no one present dared to despise or underestimate it in the slightest, because looking behind him, they could see that on the sky behind him, there was still a crack like broken ice that stretched to the end of the sight.

The dark sky seemed to be cut in half by a knife!

"Brother Gong Yang, long time no see."

At this time, Gu Xiaochen, the Donglin Sword Master, who had been standing on the top of Kunlun Mountain and looking up at the sky, finally turned around slowly, cast his gaze at Gong Yangyu, and nodded slightly at Gong Yangyu and greeted him.

Gong Yangyu's eyes were cloudy, his voice was vigorous and powerful, he said slowly: "It has been more than 20 years since we last parted. I see that your swordsmanship seems to have improved."

Gu Xiaochen smiled calmly and said, "Brother Gongyang has made great progress in the way of swordsmanship. I cannot stand still either. You and I are the role models of swordsmen in the world. Every step we take is a way forward for the warriors of the world. How dare we be lazy?"

After hearing this, Gong Yangyu nodded slightly to show his approval, then shook his head slightly and said, "In terms of being a role model in martial arts, neither you nor I can be as good as that person in the future. We have wasted a hundred years of our lives."

Gu Xiaochen said softly: "The development of the martial arts path cannot be accomplished by one person alone, just like the construction of a building, not a single brick or tile can be missing. From ancient times to the present, the martial arts sages of all generations have been one of those bricks and tiles. We are standing on their backbones and looking up at the higher sky, and we will eventually become one of the bricks and tiles that carry the future generations."

The two did not shy away from their conversation, nor did they try to hide anything. They were both very frank. Therefore, those beings in the Blood Exchange Realm in the distance, although they were far away and the power of heaven and earth was extremely chaotic, were still able to hear the general idea.

Everyone knew who the person Gong Yangyu and Gu Xiaochen were talking about was.

The only person who can make a Heavenly Sword and a Sword Master think that he is inferior to others in terms of martial arts example is naturally the only person in the world who is recognized as the strongest person in the world, the Great Xuan Martial Saint, Chen Mu!
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! !

And just after Gong Yangyu appeared, it seemed that a certain opportunity had finally been triggered, and figures were seen coming from all directions, heading towards the top of Kunlun Mountain.

Some of them came across the void, drawing a long rainbow in the dim sky; others measured the Kunlun Mountains step by step, climbing up to the peak step by step along the steep cliffs like a ladder.

"It's Nanhua Manor's ancestor Teng Xuanjing. Rumor has it that he has passed away, but he is still alive."

"Qingyun Sect's Grand Master Si Kongrui is here too. Not long ago, he fought a fierce battle with many Grand Masters from the Six Paths Alliance and was besieged. He was forced to fight alone against many enemies. It is said that he was seriously injured in the end. It seems that the rumors are wrong."

Almost everyone present knew all the figures that were heading towards the top of Mount Kunlun by heart, and they were familiar with the names of each one. After all, there were only so many celestial beings in the world, no more than twenty.

In the battle of Zhongzhou, Chen Mu even killed two celestial beings, making the number of celestial masters in the world even smaller.

The top of Kunlun Mountain.

"Brother Teng, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still as charming as ever."

"How are you these days, my brother?"

The masters who arrived at the scene exchanged greetings with each other.

As the only celestial beings in the world, they naturally all know each other. Although some of them have conflicts, there are very few life-and-death feuds, and most of them have some friendship with each other.

Some people also greeted Gong Yangyu and Gu Xiaochen, and Gong Yangyu and Gu Xiaochen did not show any arrogance but responded calmly.

They are all masters of martial arts. Even though there are differences in strength, their status is almost the same. They have all reached the end of the martial arts and need to explore the way forward.

Even though Sword Master Gu Xiaochen and Heavenly Sword Master Gong Yangyu were able to kill people in the Blood Exchange Realm, they were unable to kill a celestial being, after all, there was no difference in realm between them.

Once you have practiced to the level of a celestial being, no matter how weak you are, you are not that weak. You will be able to protect yourself even when facing the top celestial being. Even if you are defeated, you can retreat as long as you don't force a fight.

On the day.

Of the two celestial beings killed by Chen Mu in Zhongzhou, one was too close to Chen Mu, who had an invincible physique and forced him to get close to him. He had no time to retreat and was eventually severely injured and killed on the spot by Chen Mu. The other one tried to attack Chen Mu's soul, but was severely injured by the backlash. Even though he managed to escape back into his body, he was unable to hold on after his soul was severely injured and he lost the power to resist.

If Yang Qingshan and Ruan Tian were unwilling to fight with Chen Mu and just fled, then with Chen Mu's ability that day, it would still be difficult for him to kill the two of them.

Once you become a celestial being, as long as you don't put yourself in danger, there will be very few threats in the world.

This is the confidence that the celestial beings have in looking down on the world!

"Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Just as everyone was greeting each other, a figure came singing. He walked in the air, his figure was as ethereal as clouds and smoke, he was dressed in an luxurious robe, and his temperament was like an immortal. Just like that, he crossed the void step by step and climbed to the top of Mount Kunlun.

"After many years of separation, we meet again today. Brother Zhang seems very happy."

Someone greeted the newcomer with a smile.

Another of the world's top celestial being masters has arrived. He is a person who has cultivated the Five Elements to the pinnacle. He entered the Tao with the complete Five Elements, cultivated blood transfusion, and achieved celestial being. As for the age of enlightenment, he is the youngest among them. However, although he is young, he is actually over a hundred years old. His name is also feared throughout the world.

The owner of Tianhu Island,

Zhang Chen!

"It's been a long time since we last met. I'm glad to see you all are doing well."

The owner of Tianhu Island smiled openly, bowed to everyone present, glanced at everyone, and said, "I thought I was the last one to arrive at this Kunlun gathering. I never thought that there were still people who hadn't arrived yet?"

"Not too late, not too late."

A silent voice seemed to appear out of nowhere and echoed from the void.

Many celestial masters did not seem surprised, but those in the blood exchange realm in the distance all had slightly changed expressions and were awed in their hearts, because they had no idea where the voice came from!

Everyone looked in unison, and saw a figure gradually emerging from the edge of the Kunlun Mountain. He was wearing a black robe and standing there. The aura on his body was dim and almost imperceptible.

"Mo Zun!"

Some people felt awe in their hearts, with deep fear in their eyes.

The leader of the Six Paths, Mo Zun!

Among all the peerless masters in the world, whether it is Gong Yangyu, Gu Xiaochen, Xuantian Daozhu and others, none of them are bloodthirsty. When Gong Yangyu was young, he traveled the world with a knife and caused many massacres, but he only killed his enemies with the knife. He was ruthless but not bloodthirsty.

But Mo Zun is different. He rose to power in the Western Desert. He was born in an environment full of evil people, but he fought his way out from the evil people step by step. He followed the evil path, which was even more evil than the evil people. Especially in the years when the Daxuan court was in decline, the entire Western Desert was in chaos. It was not until the Six Paths Alliance came out, with Mo Zun as the leader, to suppress the entire Xiguan Road and rule the eleven states of the Western Desert that he restrained himself a little, but only within the Western Desert.

After the world was divided into nine parts, in just over a year, there were many clashes between other neighboring Dao Prefectures of the Six Dao Alliance. Under the command of Mo Zun, they acted recklessly and caused a lot of chaos.

at last.

After Chen Mu swept through Kyoto in one day and made the decision to divide the world into nine parts and there should be no more chaos, the Six Paths Alliance finally restrained itself and stopped plundering other daoist prefectures at will. However, some past grudges could not be easily resolved.

"Mo Zun..."

Qingyun Sect's Grand Master Si Kong Rui looked at Mo Zun with cold eyes.

His direct disciple, the most promising successor to his mantle in Qingyun Sect, was surrounded and killed by the Six Paths Alliance. In anger, he went to the Western Desert alone and fought with the Six Paths Alliance, injuring several people in the Blood Exchange Realm, but was eventually forced to retreat by Mo Zun.

He was certain that this matter must be related to Mo Zun. It was like an enemy meeting each other, and the atmosphere became depressing for a while.

Mo Zun turned a deaf ear to Sikong Rui's cold eyes, and paid no attention to them. He just stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, glanced at the people present, and then cast his eyes into the distance, saying calmly: "Brother Xuantian, you are late."

The words fell.

Everyone looked up suddenly.

Then, in the distant sky, a figure appeared silently, and walked slowly towards him. However, every step he took seemed to be close yet far away. There was a faint sound of black and white rotating. In just a few steps, he had reached the Kunlun Mountains and landed on the top of the mountain!
There is no need for introduction. Everyone in the world of Daxuan knows him.

Taoist Master Xuantian!

Among the top masters of heaven and earth in the world today, one has the most mysterious origin. It is rumored that he was once a descendant of the Daxuan royal family, and it is also rumored that he rose from a humble family. No one knows the details, and no one even knows the real name of Taoist Master Xuantian. It is only known that he guards a Xuantian Taoist temple with almost no disciples, and therefore he is called Taoist Master Xuantian by the world.

Among the many celestial beings present, there were some who knew some specific information about Taoist Master Xuantian, but they still did not know his name. They only knew that before Taoist Master Xuantian ascended to the pinnacle, he used the Taoist name "Tianjizi" and traveled the world. He had another junior brother who called himself "Tiansuanzi", but no one knew who the specific master of this pair of brothers was. Some people even speculated that they were taught the Tao by heaven and earth, and achieved success through self-study, so they established the Xuantian Taoist Temple, and did not worship their teacher, but only heaven and earth.

"Today we are discussing the Dao, and the most important guest hasn't even arrived yet, so how can you say you're late?"

Taoist Master Xuantian landed on the top of Kunlun Mountain and spoke in a light tone.

After hearing what Taoist Master Xuantian said, the many celestial masters present all had different expressions for a moment, including Sikong Rui, who was looking at Mo Zun coldly. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, flickering.

"I have heard that he has no interest in discussing the Dao, so perhaps he will not come."

Someone spoke up and shook his head slightly.

Discussing the Tao, Heaven and man, Heaven and man discuss the Tao. Only when one cultivates the martial arts to the level of Heaven and man, reaching the end where there is no more progress, will one be more eager to explore the way forward, to discuss the Tao with others, to verify one's own understanding and direction.

Chen Mu swept Kyoto on his own, shocking the world, but he relied on pure physical strength. He still had room for improvement in martial arts, so it was normal that he had no interest in Kunlun's discussion of Taoism.

What's more, at their level, they attach great importance to dignity.

The Kunlun Forum is also a forum for the gods and men to discuss the Dao. Although no one would question Chen Mu's qualifications to participate in the forum, and no one would object to Chen Mu coming to the forum, and many people even hope to explore the path of body tempering and martial arts with Chen Mu, Chen Mu himself might have some grudges about going to Kunlun before becoming a god and men, and Chen Mu now may not be able to feel the dilemma of having no way forward.

Perhaps it will take another thirty years, until Chen Mu becomes a celestial being and reaches the end of the martial arts, unable to advance any further, before he realizes the difficulty and hardship of opening up a new path forward and is willing to go to Kunlun to discuss the future of martial arts with everyone.

"It would be a pity if he didn't come."

The ancestor of Nanhua Manor, Teng Xuanjing, sighed softly.

Among all the celestial beings, although he cannot be called the strongest, he is the oldest one. He has lived for more than 280 years old and is approaching 300 years old. He has exhausted almost all means of prolonging life and it is almost impossible for him to live to the next Kunlun Conference.

This discussion in Kunlun would be his final destination. After this discussion, he planned to compile all he had learned throughout his life into a collection, and before he died, he would pass on as much of his life's martial arts as possible to the descendants of Nanhua Manor.

It would be such a pity if I didn't have the chance to discuss Taoism with Chen Mu.

But since Chen Mu won’t come, we can’t force him to come.

Looking at the Kunlun Forum this time, not all the immortals of the world came. There are still two who did not come. One is Yuan Hong, the King of Zhenbei, and the other is Lu Zongxi, the master of the Daxuanwu Hall. The latter is almost the same age as him and is said to be on the verge of death. Therefore, he did not come to this forum, and only left behind as much martial arts heritage as possible from his generation of immortals.

but.

Among the many celestial beings present, some of them soon realized something and turned their eyes towards a certain place below.

On a raised steep cliff there, two figures could be seen climbing to the top. Both of them were masters of the Blood Exchange Realm. They were none other than Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun who had rushed over from the Qixuan Sect!

The two of them were a step late because of Chen Mu, but they finally arrived.

"Speaking of which, the two from the Qixuan Sect are here. How about asking them a question?"

The man withdrew his gaze and looked at the other celestial beings present.

Taoist Master Xuantian and others also turned their eyes to Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun who had already climbed up a cliff, but they did not speak, and their expressions did not change much. However, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of Teng Xuanjing, the ancestor of Nanhua Manor.

He took two steps towards the edge of the cliff at the top of Kunlun Mountain, cast his eyes towards Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun, and said in a gentle tone: "Sir Yin, it's been many years since we last met. In the beginning, the Qixuan Sect relied on you to support it, and now there is finally a successor, which is enviable."

Yin Heng was a little younger than him, but not much younger. The two had no friendship, except that they had met a few times in the distant past.

"No one can predict what will happen in this world."

When Yin Heng heard the voice ringing in his ears, he also looked up at the top of Kunlun Mountain, looked at Nanhua Patriarch Teng Xuanjing, bowed to him and said, "Senior Teng has been here for so many years, and his demeanor remains the same."

There are not many people in the world today whom he can call seniors. Teng Xuanjing, the ancestor of Nanhua Manor, is one of them. On the one hand, his realm is that of a celestial being, superior to him, and on the other hand, he is also older than him.

"You are already old and feeble. You and your beloved disciple are here, but I wonder if that person will come?"

Teng Xuanjing sighed slightly, then changed the subject and asked.

Yin Heng was waiting for an answer.

But Teng Xuanjing suddenly stopped moving and looked up to somewhere in the sky.

Not only him, but also many celestial masters standing on the top of Kunlun Mountain, including Taoist Master Xuantian, Donglin Sword Master and others, all raised their heads and looked in the same direction in the distance.

Ok?
Yin Heng and Qin Mengjun, as well as the blood-exchanging masters from various major sects who were looking at the top of the mountain from afar, were all startled. They all turned their heads and looked in the direction where the many celestial beings were looking.

Almost at the next moment, Yin Heng realized that he no longer needed to answer Teng Xuanjing's questions.

because,

Chen Mu has arrived.

At this moment, not only the many celestial beings standing on the top of Kunlun Mountain, including the supreme masters of major sects, the blood exchange masters in the world, and even the many marrow cleansing masters based on the middle peak of Kunlun Mountain, almost all looked up in unison.

At the end of the horizon, in a dark and distant direction, a figure was walking lightly on the void. Every step he took crossed the sky and caused the void under his feet to break, creating dark cracks in the void!
The person who came was none other than Chen Mu!

But he looked calm, and with every step he took over the broken void, the chaotic power of the void surged, but it could not hurt him at all. He just crossed over step by step, and after a few short steps, he finally reached the top of Kunlun Mountain!

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, and almost made countless people in the Blood Exchange Realm change color, including the celestial masters on the top of Kunlun Mountain, who were all shocked. Even Taoist Master Xuantian, Mo Zun and others showed solemn expressions.

Chen Mu did not act recklessly, nor did he show any ferocious spirit.

Just like them, they flew across the sky and climbed to the top of Mount Kunlun.

but.

The scene of casually stepping on the void and shattering it, treating the cracks in the void as nothing, is enough to shock even the gods!

Heavenly masters often try their best to tear a dark crack in the void, and they dare not get too close to the crack. Once they shatter the void, they must retreat immediately to avoid being strangled by the power of the void and getting injured.

But when Chen Mu crossed over, it seemed as if the void could not bear his footsteps, and it began to crack. The power of the void surging out from the cracks was also ignored by Chen Mu and trampled all the way!

What a shocking scene.

In other words, these celestial masters could probably use all their strength to strike Chen Mu without causing any damage. Could such a terrifying physique really be cultivated by ordinary warriors?
"I heard that since ancient times, martial arts sages of all generations have held discussions on the Dao in Kunlun to open up new paths, and this discussion continues to this day."

"I have long heard of the great reputations of you seniors, and have long admired you. I have been practicing martial arts diligently until now, and I have made some small achievements. I would like to discuss the future of martial arts with you, and I hope you will be generous in giving me some advice."

Chen Mu stepped slowly onto the top of Kunlun Mountain, his eyes sweeping lightly around.
