Chapter 566: Chapter 345: The Sky is High and the Earth Thick Chapter 566: Chapter 345: The Sky is High and the Earth Thick “I remember that you had already collected five types of spiritual materials for the Qiankun Eight Phases,” Qin Mengjun approached and said to Chen Mu.
Qin Mengjun walked over and, looking at Chen Mu, said, “On this journey to the Cold North, I settled some matters of old and also took the chance to inquire about the three types of spiritual materials you are missing, but for the time being there are no results.
How about on your end?”
“I have no news either,” Chen Mu shook his head slightly and said, “Destroying the main altar of the Sky Demon Sect did yield a few types, but they were all kinds I already had.
It’s meaningless to have duplicates.
Indeed, gathering the materials needed to forge the Qiankun Spirit Weapon requires certain encounters.”
Of course, if he had already ascended to the Blood Exchange Realm and become invincible in the world, he could simply sweep through each sect one by one; it wouldn’t matter how lacking the materials were, they would be gathered eventually.
But by that point, he would already possess overwhelming power himself, and the Qiankun Spirit Weapon would merely be icing on the cake.
“With your current level, you’re more than capable of traveling the world.
Finding all the spiritual materials shouldn’t be that difficult,” Qin Mengjun said softly.
“I will also keep an eye out for you…
Oh right, there’s another matter I need to discuss with you.”
At this point,
Qin Mengjun glanced at the nearby Cloud Sea, then with a wave of her sleeve, a surge of Strength of Qian Heaven spread out, erasing all traces of the disturbances in heaven and earth caused by the battle just fought.

Then she looked at Chen Mu and said, “Let’s head back to the sect first.
We can talk on the way.”
“Alright,”
Chen Mu nodded in agreement and followed Qin Mengjun.
By the time the two returned to the back cliff of Spirit Profound Peak, Chen Mu’s face was already tinged with a hint of contemplation.
“If that’s the case, then there’s indeed some possibility,” he said.
“Now that the attention of all parties is focused on Ice State, if it’s true that the Ice State Abyss is about to open, an opportunity is coming.
With your current level, you can easily explore the Earthly Abyss.
Many treasures within are only comparable to those of the Great Wilderness,” Qin Mengjun told Chen Mu.
During her trip, she had also discovered a piece of information: there seemed to be some abnormal changes in one of the domains in Ice State, but for now, it was unclear exactly what was happening.
However, according to what she had discovered, the commotion this time would undoubtedly be significant.
If it was indeed the Earthly Abyss opening, then the situation would suddenly make sense.
The Sky Demon Sect, the Heavenly Corpse Sect, and the forces of the Foreign Race outside the Sect had joined hands.
Despite being unable to conquer Ice Extreme Palace after such a lengthy period, they continued to engage in a stalemate within Ice State, perhaps waiting for this very opportunity.
Once the land of Ice State began to shift and the Earthly Abyss opened, the Power of the Veins would cause widespread chaos, definitely affecting the formation of the main altar of the Ice Extreme Palace.
Then, it would be easy for the three powers to breach the palace’s defenses!
Moreover,
If the Earthly Abyss truly is about to open, all the powers along the Northern Path would most likely be too preoccupied to care about the battles in Ice State and would turn their gaze to the Ice State Abyss, for the Abyss contains almost every kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Many of the world’s top spiritual materials come from the Abyss, including treasures like the ‘Twelve-Grade Five Elements Lotus Platform.’
It’s even rumored that the Abyss conceals spiritual objects that can truly ‘prolong one’s life,’ items that would drive any Grandmaster mad and make even those in the Blood Exchange Realm eagerly covet such rare treasures!
Keep in mind,
These lifeprolonging treasures are not the ordinary sort that you hear about in mundane legends, like thousand-year ginseng.
Those are merely common spiritual objects that nourish the Qi-Blood; for ordinary people, nourishing Qi-Blood naturally leads to a longer life.
But for martial artists, especially those in the Marrow Cleansing and Blood Exchange Realms, the nourishment of Qi-Blood is not important at all.
Only those exceedingly rare treasures can cause their Martial Bodies to temporarily halt in a certain state, thereby extending their lifespan for a period of time.
Even if it’s just for one or two years, it’s enough to provoke intense competition among those in the Blood Exchange Realm.
Of course,
For Chen Mu, he’s not really interested in such treasures.
Given the transformation of his physique now, once he steps into the Blood Exchange Realm in the future, his lifespan will be so extended that it might even rival those of the Heavenly Demons.
A year or two’s worth of lifespan is nothing to him.
Instead, it’s the lacking materials for the Qiankun Spirit Weapon, or the Body Refining spiritual objects that can temper the Martial Body, or other rare spiritual materials, that are more attractive to him.
“If the Earthly Abyss is indeed about to open, then it truly is an encounter worth exploring.
However, based on the current situation, it’s still just one possibility,” Chen Mu quickly gathered his thoughts and said.
“Whether it’s true or not, we will roughly know in a few days,” Qin Mengjun said.
“This matter should not have spread yet,” Chen Mu pondered.
He figured he was among the first to know; otherwise, if the news had already spread, he would have heard something about it within the Seven Profound Sect by now.
Qin Mengjun nodded slightly and said, “The Sky Demon Sect and Heavenly Corpse Sect, along with the Foreign Race outside, probably all knew this in advance and deliberately kept it secret.
But now that the anomaly in Ice State is imminent, they can no longer keep it hidden.”
“Changes in the natural world cannot be resisted by human effort,” Chen Mu said.
His understanding of the Martial Arts Realm was already quite profound.
After all, when he reached the limit of the second step in his Artistic Conception cultivation, his system panel once allowed him a brief insight into the ‘Unity of Heaven and Man’ level.
Even though that level seemed vast and enabled one to perceive the universe as if everything was within grasp, the actual scope of insight was at most a few hundred to a thousand miles, which still represented only a tiny fraction of the vast universe.
The so-called control over the world was, in fact, still just going with the flow, unable to truly alter everything.
Which is quite normal, after all.
