Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 844: Revised: Chapter 459 World Momentum_2

Chen Mu held it in his hand and casually twisted it a few times, the originally neat pattern became disordered, then he twisted it a few more times, and the chaotic pattern returned to its neat state.

“Oh?”

Chen Yao looked at the delicate object in Chen Mu’s hand, her large, lively eyes immediately flashed with curiosity and interest, and she reached out her small hand.

Chen Mu smiled and placed the object in her hand.

Chen Yao inherited his wisdom, being exceptionally intelligent. Though she was still young and couldn’t train in martial arts or comprehend artistic conception, her intelligence shouldn’t be wasted. It just so happened that he remembered many intellectual toys that could be easily reproduced with current methods. This cube-like box was one of them from his previous life, perfect for expanding Chen Yao’s thinking and broadening her perspective.

Receiving the box from Chen Mu, Chen Yao curiously started twisting it. After a while, the six faces of the patterns turned into a chaotic mess, and she couldn’t restore it no matter how much she tried, causing her delicate nose to wrinkle slightly.

The little girl, though only two years old, already showed a stubborn and unyielding attitude, continuing to test it relentlessly.

At this time.

Chen Yue, who was practicing swordsmanship, also put down the long sword in her hand, approached, and after a brief observation of the toy in Chen Yao’s hand, she asked curiously, “What is this? It seems to have many mysteries.”

“Qiankun Cube,”

Chen Mu casually replied, “This is a toy I came across during my travels. Indeed, it has some mysteries and fits the principle of Qiankun rotation.”

Chen Yue came to Chen Yao’s side, watched her fiddle with the toy, and soon got interested as well. She couldn’t help but give some pointers, instructing Chen Yao to twist it in her way. After a while, they managed to align the face engraved with the ‘Kan Water’ symbol, but the other five faces remained chaotic. No matter how they twisted, they couldn’t align them again, always ruining the already completed ‘Kan Water’ face.

For a while, both aunt and niece were scratching their heads in frustration.

Watching Chen Yue and Chen Yao getting deeply engrossed, Chen Mu couldn’t help but chuckle without offering any help, just letting them continue their efforts. Just about the time for a cup of tea later, a voice formed in a line, crossing the mountains and entering his ear.

“Mu’er, the King of North Garrison, Yuan Hong, has come visiting, seeking an audience with you.”

This gentle voice was Qin Mengjun’s.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu put Chen Yao down, smiled, and said, “Yue’er, look after Yao’er, a distinguished guest is visiting, I need to go welcome him.”

“Brother, go ahead.”

Chen Yue, deeply absorbed in the ‘Qiankun Cube’, didn’t even lift her head, instinctively waving her hand, continuing her research with Chen Yao.

However, Chen Yao’s attention immediately returned to Chen Mu. Her large eyes blinked, Chen Mu smiled gently, patted her little head, then turned and walked away. Within two steps, his figure disappeared.

Without needing Qin Mengjun’s reminder, he had already guessed that Yuan Hong was visiting and knew that he came as a commoner.

The King of North Garrison, with his Celestial Human stature, didn’t issue a royal decree, send an envoy, nor publicly visit, but came as a commoner. Chen Mu always reciprocated respect, Yuan Hong had not offended him, nor was there any past enmity between them. With Yuan Hong disregarding his status and visiting as a commoner, Chen Mu naturally would meet him as one.

After a while.

Chen Mu reached the cliff top at the back of Great Profound Peak.

At a glance, he saw the King of North Garrison, Yuan Hong, in commoner’s attire, standing at the cliff’s edge, gazing at the mountains.

“Your Highness’s visit, forgive me for not welcoming you from afar.”

Chen Mu approached with a calm demeanor.

“My sudden visit is indeed presumptuous.”

Yuan Hong said with a composed smile.

It was their first meeting, but their words seemed like those of old friends. At this moment, when they met each other’s gaze, a faint gleam flickered deep in their quiet eyes, as if a light breaking through chaos, akin to thunderclap.

This faint gleam lasted only for an instant, and on the surface, they both remained still.

After a brief pause.

Yuan Hong smiled and invited, “Would Supreme Chen like to take a walk with me?”

Chen Mu responded calmly, “If Your Highness invites, I shall follow.”

Yuan Hong nodded slightly, then stepped forward, walking off the cliff edge and floating in midair. Chen Mu followed from behind, and the two stepped into the void, quickly disappearing into the mountains.

On the cliff.

Yin Heng silently watched this scene, not speaking, just gazing at Yuan Hong’s departing figure with a contemplative look. After a few breaths, Qin Mengjun’s figure also quietly appeared nearby, looking in the direction where Chen Mu and Yuan Hong disappeared.

“Master, what might be the intention of the King of North Garrison’s visit?”

Qin Mengjun showed a thoughtful expression.

She didn’t think the King of North Garrison would be detrimental to Chen Mu. After all, in the current situation, there was no old grudge between Yuan Hong and Chen Mu; even if Yuan Hong aimed to overthrow the Da Xuan Dynasty, the Imperial Court would be his primary enemy, not Chen Mu.

Yin Heng stood at the cliff’s edge, shaking his head, saying, “Coming as a commoner, lowering his stance, seems like he has a request, but I think it is not that simple. Most likely, he wants to discuss the world’s grand situation with Chen Mu.”

Needless to say,

Yuan Hong now occupied the Cold North, incorporating Eleven State into his rule. The major sects in Cold North were either expelled, subordinated to the North Garrison Government’s dispatch, or, like the Seven Profound Sect, completely sealed their mountains, making it one of the nine divisions of the world, standing on par with the Imperial Court, Kings Jin, Chu, etc.

And now Chen Mu, gathering his personal power, had become recognized as one of the top martial arts experts in the world, at least in the top three. Many believed that even without reaching Celestial Human state, Chen Mu was already the number one in the world. Although he had no major factions under his command, only the Seven Profound Sect, his own strength was enough to shake the world’s order!

It could be said that

the intentions of Yuan Hong and Chen Mu could influence the nine divisions of the Da Xuan Dynasty and billions of common people.

Although he and Qin Mengjun were Blood Exchange Realm experts, standing at the peak of Body Tempering Martial Arts, compared to Yuan Hong, or the current Chen Mu, their status in the world’s situation was far below.

“Actually, I see that dividing the world into nine divisions might not be a bad thing.”

Yin Heng suddenly said.

In recent times, during his travels across the world, he had seen many scenes different from the chaotic times of the past.

Back when Ji Yongzhao was in power, neglecting state affairs, the Eight Princes’ conflicts led to the world’s chaos. Major sects carved up states and counties, fighting each other, leading to common people’s suffering, with Imperial Court laws becoming ineffective, lower gangs fighting, and people struggling to survive.

After the world divided into nine, the situation changed dramatically in a short time.

Take the Cold North for example,

under the North Garrison Government’s rule, after incorporating various states and counties, governing from top to bottom with laws, although it caused a bloody storm in Yu State, executing evildoers, the entire state government quickly revived.

From Yu State Prefecture to the remote Yu County, all restored order under the North Garrison Government’s control, no longer witnessing the chaos where people were treated like grass.

Moreover,

Not only in Cold North Jade State,

in other prefectures of Cold North, even in Taoist Prefectures visited by Yin Heng, belonging to King Chu, King Jin, such as East Proximity and Upper Yong Path, were also forcibly ordered by the princes, governing with their respective laws, reviving the common people.

The reason was simple, in the past, the princes fought in the Central Prefecture, placing forces all over the world. Now the world is divided into nine, many sects relocated, the princes consolidated their forces first, then sought development, naturally governing with laws, using force to maintain government control, consolidating forces, and stabilizing the chaos.

It could be said after dividing the world into nine, though lacking the grand scene of Da Xuan’s peak, the lower-level chaos gradually disappeared.

At least,

until the Imperial Court, the Six Princes, and the King of North Garrison, Six Paths Alliance who divided the nine paths of the world, do not fully engage in war, each state government enjoys a period of rest and recuperation.

“The world’s grand situation, long divided must unite, long united must divide, I wonder what he’s thinking,”

Qin Mengjun listened to Yin Heng’s words, shook her head slightly, and said.

In these days since Chen Mu’s return, he had been accompanying Xu Hongyu, Chen Yao, and other family members. Since visiting her on the first day, he hadn’t talked much with her, so she didn’t know what Chen Mu thought of the current world situation.
