Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 907: Chapter 473 Affairs Decided at the Imperial Court (6k4)

“Saint Chen has a heart of great righteousness, on behalf of the common people of the Central Prefecture, I thank you here.”

Listening to Chen Mu’s words, Lu Zongxi bowed once again towards Chen Mu, a hint of relief in his eyes.

In his early years, Chen Mu served as an official in a remote corner of the Cold North, and when he left, even tens of thousands of people saw him off. This matter has spread with Chen Mu’s fame shaking the world. Today, Chen Mu has ascended the apex of power, invincible in the world, yet he does not turn a blind eye to the common people, which is indeed a blessing for the masses.

“It’s not about great righteousness, merely a lift of a finger.”

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

He was never a saint with a heart of great righteousness. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stormed the Central Prefecture, swept the Capital City, and resolved past grudges and grievances in a day. He simply climbed from the bottom and understood the hardships of the people. For him now, wanting peace in the realm is just a lift of a finger, so naturally, he does not mind deciding the affairs of the world with a word.

Chen Mu glanced at the Primordial Chart in his hand a couple of times, then put it away, and walked out of the hall together with Lu Zongxi. Still, as the two walked out of the hall, Lu Zongxi suddenly thought of something and said:

“By the way, Saint Chen, are you aware of the Kunlun Symposium?”

“Hall Master Lu refers to the Symposium of Celestial Masters at the peak of Kunlun Mountains in two years, right?”

Chen Mu nodded in agreement.

Lu Zongxi nodded and said: “That’s right, at Saint Chen’s level, you certainly know the Martial Arts of the world, the first seven realms of Body Refining are perfected, but when it comes to the Blood Exchange Realm, there is no more guidance. Therefore, every thirty years, the Celestial Masters who explore the future path of Martial Arts come together at the peak of Kunlun Mountain for a symposium on the future path of Martial Arts. I wonder if Saint Chen intends to participate.”

By this time, Chen Mu had already stepped outside the hall. He looked up at the distant azure sky and chuckled: “The Symposium of Celestial Masters… speaking of which, I have yet to comprehend the Unity of Heaven and Man. If I forcibly climb the mountain, would it not invite ridicule? If, two years later, I can comprehend the Celestial Human Realm, I will certainly not be absent and will meet at the peak of Kunlun with the esteemed elders to discuss the current Martial Arts.”

Having said that.

Chen Mu did not pause and walked forward.

Lu Zongxi stood at the front of the Martial Hall, watching Chen Mu walk away, slightly shaking his head.

With Chen Mu’s current strength, he surpasses even the Celestial Human level. Who in the world dares to underestimate Chen Mu? Who dares to block Chen Mu from climbing Kunlun Mountain to discuss the Dao? Even though there has been an unspoken code among martial artists for countless years, Chen Mu can entirely choose to disregard it.

But at Chen Mu’s level, face is naturally greater than anything else. It is evident that he feels that using brute force to climb the peak of Kunlun Mountain to participate in the Symposium is somewhat beneath him. He must ascend with the Celestial Human Level to not fall short of the title Martial Saint.

There are still two years until the Kunlun Symposium.

Chen Mu’s talent and comprehension are undoubtedly unparalleled in today’s world. He is the foremost person of this era. Now, having obtained the Primordial Eight Phases Chart, it’s not impossible for him to comprehend the third step of Artistic Conception within two years, stepping into the Celestial Human Level.

Currently, Chen Mu is already invincible in the world, having advanced Body Tempering Martial Arts and the cultivation of physique aspects to an unprecedented level. If he enters the Celestial Human realm in terms of Artistic Conception, the power he could wield is unimaginable.

In fact.

He is quite concerned about this upcoming Kunlun Symposium.

Because it may very well be the last time in his life that he participates in such a symposium. Now, he no longer hopes to break the shackles of heaven and earth, stepping into the God Realm. He only wishes that before his life comes to an end, he can add a few entries to the Martial Canon, guiding future generations two more steps forward, making his time in this world worthwhile.

…

Imperial City.

Front Hall.

This is a palace located directly in front of the Golden Luang Hall, slightly smaller compared to the Golden Luang Hall, typically used as a place for court ministers to prepare before attending court sessions. But since the Golden Luang Hall was damaged in a previous battle and cannot be restored in the short term, key court dignitaries, including Chief Officer Zhao Lie of the Inspectorate, have gathered in the Front Hall.

Although the Front Hall is smaller than the Golden Luang Hall, it is still a grand and majestic hall, accommodating dozens to hundreds of people without feeling crowded. The interior remains exceptionally spacious.

However.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the Front Hall is oppressive, the air seems to be filled with the scent of gunpowder.

“…your Red Leaf Sect is truly domineering, having occupied our Returning Cloud Sect’s Gu Yang Mountain Range, not to mention attempting to meddle with Ping Yun Lake. Our Returning Cloud Sect may be in a slump these years, but it’s not up to you to do as you please.”

Someone sneered coldly.

“Old Ghost Shen, my junior died at your hands, you should give me an explanation.”

Someone spoke in a cold and stern tone.

At this moment, nearly thirty Blood Exchange Realm masters were gathered inside the palace. As top-tier figures of the Blood Exchange Realm in their time, they hailed from various sects, naturally holding many old grudges against each other. But because they were in the Imperial City, having come at Chen Mu’s invitation, they restrained themselves and didn’t start a big fight, yet it was inevitable that they faced each other head-on.

Zhao Lie and other key court dignitaries frowned at this scene, feeling somewhat troubled.

As high-ranking and influential dignitaries in the Da Xuan Dynasty Court, their status was of utmost importance. Ordinary figures in the Martial World wouldn’t dare act so presumptuously in front of them. The problem was that the martial artists present were no ordinary characters at all!

Any one of them was a renowned Blood Exchange Realm master, figures who roamed the world with towering reputations in the Martial World. Thus, even though they confronted each other significantly, causing the entire Front Hall to be oppressive and chaotic, it was difficult for them to control the situation for the moment.
