Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 1238: Chapter 603: Accumulation

"The fact that you have met me is the work of destiny, the conclusion of karma, and I bestow upon you an opportunity."

Chen Mu looked at Yu An in front of him, and after a brief observation, he said in a calm tone.

Although the young man before him did not just happen to meet him by chance, but rather Chen Mu actively sought him out, in his eyes, all of this still belonged to the network of destiny and karma.

By coincidence, he had comprehended the last of the mysterious nature of causality and returned his attention from the Dark Sky Abyss back to the Da Xuan World. It was also by coincidence that to comprehend causality, he had to attempt to stir the threads of karma, thus proactively placing his pieces in the world to assess causality.

All of this was indeed driven by the forces of destiny and karma.

If not for understanding the mysterious nature of causality, even if the Da Xuan World was thrown into chaos and war spread throughout the world, he would not care in the slightest, nor would he involve himself in mortal affairs.

Whoosh!

With these words, Chen Mu gently pointed a finger at Yu An.

A speck of golden light extended from his fingertip and instantly merged into the center of Yu An’s forehead.

Yu An was slightly startled, then saw in his mind a magnificent and grand Qiankun Mountain River Map!

Just one glance at this map was enough to feel as if it contained endless mysteries, encompassing everything in the world.

This map was imprinted in his mind, and with just a slight closing of his eyes, every detail became vividly clear!

What is this map?!

Yu An was utterly shocked in his heart.

Though he was only a distant branch of the Yu Family, ultimately he was born of their bloodline, having seen Artistic Conception Maps. However, even the highest quality maps he had seen could not compare to the one in his mind.

"Senior..."

When Yu An recovered from his shock, he found that Chen Mu’s figure had disappeared without a trace.

"Senior?"

Yu An looked around, but Chen Mu was nowhere to be seen. Even though Chen Mu had vanished, the cave at the bottom of the river still wasn’t submerged, as if an invisible rule was preventing the water from reaching it.

He stood there in confusion for a moment, quickly feeling as if even Chen Mu’s figure in his mind was fading away, but the brilliant Qiankun Mountain River Map still existed in his mind, reappearing whenever he closed his eyes.

As a member of a Martial Family, Yu An had naturally heard countless tales of fortuitous encounters in the Martial World, such as paupers falling off cliffs only to meet reclusive masters’ cave mansions, learning martial arts, and becoming grandmasters upon returning to the world.

Clearly,

He had also met the opportunity meant for him.

He encountered a true reclusive master, who not only saved his life but also, with incomparably mysterious methods, imparted to him an Artistic Conception Map of unknown caliber. Even when leaving, the master vanished quietly, and Yu An didn’t even know the master’s name.

"Yu An thanks the senior. Though I do not know the senior’s name, should I achieve success in my cultivation in the future, I will definitely repay in full."

Yu An took a deep breath. At just fifteen years old, a determined expression appeared on his face. He knelt directly into the mud, bowing continuously towards the void ahead until his forehead was also covered with mud before finally raising his head.

He took a deep breath, calming his emotions. He didn’t immediately begin his comprehension and cultivation but instead turned to the edge of the cave at the riverbed, observing the water that passed by close without pouring into the cave. His face showed amazement once again, and he couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the water.

He could touch the water, could even feel the turbulent flow with his hand in the water, but no matter how fierce the water surged, it could never invade the cave.

The senior not only gave him an Artistic Conception Map but also provided him a place to hide!

Suddenly, Yu An felt enlightenment in his heart.

This was a spot at the bottom of the Ganlu River. Even a master of the Five Viscera Realm, if not skilled in the Kan Water Sect, would have difficulty traversing this area freely. He had been thrown to the riverbed, probably assumed dead by Yu Chen.

Staying here was safe and would prevent discovery by the Yu Family, at least for a while.

As for food and water... as a Martial Disciple at Body Refinement Perfection, the rushing, muddy waters of the Ganlu River were drinkable for him. As for food, even in such a muddy riverbed, there were fish. He had seen many swimming in the water earlier, easily catchable.

He could stay here to comprehend the Artistic Conception until his Martial Arts Cultivation was strong enough before leaving the riverbed.

Countless years ago, when martial arts were not mature, martial artists needed guidance like Tendon Changing Pills and Bone Tempering Pills to achieve Tendon Changing and Bone Tempering, but now there wasn’t such a significant need as the concentration of Heaven and Earth’s Yuan Qi had increased.

Many high-level Body Refining cultivation techniques could directly absorb Heaven and Earth’s Yuan Qi to refine one’s physique, making reaching the extremity of each realm far easier than tens of thousands of years ago.

Yu An quickly calmed down,

His injuries weren’t fully healed, but being from a Martial Family and a martial artist at Body Refinement Perfection, naturally, he knew how to treat his injuries. The mere fracture of a bone could be healed completely with his abundant Qi-Blood in just ten days.

"Yu Chen... and all of you... I will return!"

Figures flashed through Yu An’s mind, and he finally took a deep breath, quickly adjusting his body, aligning the fractured bones, and maintaining a position to remain still, circulating Qi-Blood throughout his body to slowly begin healing his injuries.
