Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 981: Chapter 492: Overcast_3

Especially when he practiced the Soul Refinement Technique, his Soul Heart grew increasingly strong, and that sense of foreboding became even more intense.

“Is there such a thing?”

Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu with some surprise.

She had always thought that Chen Mu’s diligent cultivation came naturally and was driven by his desire to transcend the heavens and earth. But now it seemed there was more to it; after all, Chen Mu’s realm made him capable of perceiving what she could not.

“Yes.”

Chen Mu nodded slightly, saying, “But there’s no need to worry too much. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are interdependent. This land has nurtured life for countless years, from the Primordial Era to this day. Our Human Race has occupied this land and grown to the point of touching the threads of ‘transcendence’. Thus, bringing calamity is reasonable.”

“Regardless of the form this calamity takes, we shall do our utmost. In the depths of the unknown, everything has a glimmer of hope. With me in this world, even if the heavens collapse, I shall single-handedly restore them.”

His words were spoken with great equanimity, without an intense tone, yet they conveyed an inexplicable conviction.

The slender figure stood, not overly robust, but at this moment, stood tall as if he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the heavens and earth, as if he could support the sun and moon with his spine!

Xu Hongyu gazed at Chen Mu, momentarily dazed, slightly entranced. Despite knowing Chen Mu for numerous years, and having a daughter with him, even as she herself had reached the realm of Grandmaster, at this moment, listening to Chen Mu’s light words, she felt her heart touched, her gaze like water.

“Yao’er, come over here.”

Little He softly called Chen Yao over and led her away from the Purple Bamboo Forest, leaving it to the two of them.

…

This time, Chen Mu did not quickly return to the Forbidden Land for seclusion, but stayed on Spirit Profound Peak for a full three days.

Until the morning of the fourth day,

Xu Hongyu, along with Little He, Chen Yao, and others, arrived at the entrance of the Seven Profound Sect.

Accompanying Xu Hongyu this time were not only Little He and Chen Yao, but also Chen Yue, who had just returned yesterday.

Compared to Xu Hongyu, who needed to look after Chen Yao and had stayed on the mountain, Chen Yue, since Chen Mu attained Martial Saint, often ventured down the mountain to train. Presently, she remained in the Six Viscera Realm, solidifying her foundation while pursuing the Marrow-Cleansing Grandmaster Realm.

However, her past training mostly took place near the State Government Office in Yu State, and she never ventured far nor returned alone to Yu County. Having left Yu County for many years, she also felt a sense of homesickness, which aligned with joining Xu Hongyu on the journey.

On the mountain path.

Chen Mu walked along with Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, and others.

On both sides of the path, Seven Profound Sect’s protectors and stewards respectfully saluted, carefully clearing the way and stepping aside.

“Husband, let us part here. We shouldn’t be gone long visiting Yu County this time.”

After walking a bit further, Xu Hongyu turned and spoke to Chen Mu.

Chen Yao also waved her little hand towards Chen Mu, saying, “Daddy, wait for us to come back.”

“Alright.”

Chen Mu looked at Chen Yao with gentle eyes and raised his hand in response.

Then he stood before the Seven Profound Sect’s mountain gate, watching Xu Hongyu and the others descend the mountain to leave, standing there until everyone disappeared from his view. Only then did he finally turn around and, with a flicker, quietly vanish.

The sect’s protectors and stewards beside the mountain gate remained standing respectfully at each side until Chen Mu’s figure disappeared. Only then did each of them slightly exhale a breath, taking their time to stand upright, their expressions still lingering with a touch of reverence, not daring to be negligent.
