...

Meng Danyun led Chen Mu all the way to a small, isolated courtyard located behind the State Government Office.

Chen Mu glanced at Meng Danyun and carefully sensed her breath, saying, "Sister Meng’s cultivation has improved quite a bit, it shouldn’t be far from achieving Perfection in Six Viscera Tempering."

Meng Danyun had entered the Six Viscera Realm much earlier than he had, and now, after quite some time had passed, her Inner Breath was obviously much more profound than before. Chen Mu estimated that with this progress, it would take only another year or two for her to approach the level of Zhao Zhenchuan and Chu Jingsui.

Meng Danyun looked at Chen Mu and shook her head, "I’m just following the systematic approach to cultivation. To achieve Perfection in Six Viscera Tempering, I need at least two more years of effort. I also have to thank Junior Brother Chen for the Spirit Weapon. With this sword in hand, I was able to escape several crises in Ice State."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "It’s good I could lend Sister a helping hand. In a few years, you can try to break through the Mysterious Pass, and I wish you success in achieving Perfection in advance."

For true inheritors of each sect, stepping into the Six Viscera Realm is a basic accomplishment, but reaching the Mysterious Pass is much more difficult. Out of ten true inheritors, perhaps not even one will become a Grandmaster. Although Meng Danyun’s comprehension wasn’t the highest, having entered the path with just the Water and Wind Artistic Conceptions, having fewer Artistic Conceptions to master can make breaking through the Mysterious Pass and achieving Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster status somewhat easier, so it’s always balanced.

One who becomes a Grandmaster has the chance to reach a level like Fu Jingyuan.

Reaching a level like Fu Jingyuan, one might even have the chance to take a shot at ’Blood Exchange’. Once that step is taken, it opens up a whole new world, climbing to the very end of Martial Arts and becoming one of the unparalleled figures of the age.

As far as Chen Mu knew, the Supreme Elder of Seven Profound Sect had entered the path with "Thunder and Fire".

"...Thank you for your auspicious words, Junior Brother."

Meng Danyun looked at Chen Mu, and suddenly felt a bit emotional inside. She could sense that Chen Mu didn’t have any feelings of discouragement or despair, clearly his desire to follow the path hadn’t been affected in the slightest, even after suffering the erosion of Demonic Qi.

With such a clear state of mind and such resolute will, even if he were delayed for over a decade before the Mysterious Pass, there might still be a chance to become a Grandmaster, and perhaps in twenty years, a Qiankun Grandmaster would emerge!

This Junior Brother of hers had been extraordinary from the beginning.

"Rest well, Junior Brother," she said.

After a few more words, Meng Danyun left Chen Mu’s courtyard.

Watching Meng Danyun’s retreating figure, Chen Mu thought of Chu Jingsui, Zhao Zhenchuan, and some other protectors of the Seven Profound Sect from their generation: "Now, it’s still uncertain who will become a Grandmaster first."

He returned to his room and called up the system panel.

[Martial Art: Qiankun Artistic Conception (Step Two)]

[Experience: 328 points]

[Number of possible deductions: 1]

...

[Six Viscera Sutra (92%)]

[Experience: 0 points]

After spending a month and a half with the Yulin Army, contemplating the military formation’s Triad Method, and adding to his already accumulated experiences, Chen Mu had enough experience for another deduction, but he had not yet had the free time to use it.

As for the tempering of the Six Viscera, after reaching 90%, regular cultivation made no progress whatsoever, and Chen Mu was well aware that even if he continuously consumed multiple Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items, without relying on the system to improve, the progress would likely dissipate, and so he used the system panel to consume a Warm Nurturing Spiritual Object to advance a small step further.

At this stage of Six Viscera Tempering, like during the Five Viscera Phase, ordinary methods would not likely lead to further progress unless, by some chance, one acquired an exceedingly rare and precious Heaven and Earth Spiritual Item to squeeze out a bit more progress.

However.

For him, there was no bottleneck in the cultivation of the Six Viscera, and he still had one Warm Nurturing Spiritual Object left unused in his hand.

After sitting down in the bedroom, without much hesitation, Chen Mu consumed the deduction opportunity to deduce the Qiankun Artistic Conception once again, completing the ’sixth’ deduction on the foundation of the second step!

With the insights and mastery over the Qiankun Artistic Conception further deepened, he was drawing ever closer to the second step of its extreme limit!

Next came the warming and nourishing of the Six Viscera. After using the last batch of nourishing spiritual objects, the refinement of the Six Viscera ascended slightly. The quality of this batch of spiritual objects was commendable, with more improvement than the last, reaching 94%!

"Soon,"

Chen Mu looked at the system panel and, sensing the changes in his body, took a deep breath.

To perceive the Qiankun Domain was to undergo a qualitative change!

To break through the Mysterious Pass and cultivate a Grandmaster Martial Body was also a qualitative change!

In the past, it was his cultivation in Artistic Conception that always led by a step, but since mastering the complete Qiankun Artistic Conception, his Body Refining cultivation progress had gradually outpaced that of Artistic Conception. After all, various Viscera Refining and nourishing spiritual objects were not difficult to obtain for someone like him, a high-ranking fighter on the Wind Cloud List. Relying on these, his cultivation efficiency could be said to be at peak fulfillment.

Just as entering the Five Viscera Realm from the Jade Bone Realm had no bottlenecks.

If he could refine his Five Viscera and Six Viscera to their limits, coupled with the Martial Arts Will he had already solidified, even if the Qiankun Artistic Conception’s progress fell slightly short and did not reach the very end of the second step, it would likely pose no obstruction in breaking through the Mysterious Pass – a single step could make him a Grandmaster!

"Since I stepped into the Viscera Realm, barely more than a year has elapsed,"

"Even across the entire Cold North Path of the Eleven State, probably no one would have guessed that in just two short years, I would have the opportunity to step into the Marrow Cleansing Realm and become a Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

A glint flickered in Chen Mu’s eyes.

He was actually very close to becoming a Grandmaster, so much so that even now, he could attempt to break through the Mysterious Pass!

Since the tempering of the Six Viscera had reached 94% of its potential, the thickness of the Yuan Gang Inner Breath within his body was already beyond what ordinary people could imagine. Now, he could also clearly sense the indistinct barrier located at the crown of his body.

Even now, Chen Mu felt an impulse to try and break through that barrier, but in the end, he managed to suppress this temptation. Regardless of whether he could overcome the barrier in one go, his present Six Viscera Realm had not yet been cultivated to the limit. Directly breaking through to cultivate his Martial Body would result in flawed foundations, making it difficult to reach the ultimate in the Marrow Cleansing Realm in the future.

"Actually, with my current level, the extreme tempering of the Five Viscera Phase and the Six Viscera Realm are surely unmatched by anyone in history. If I break through the barrier and straightaway become a Grandmaster, I could still dominate the world in the future, whether or not there are flaws in my foundation..."

"No, that’s not right. That’s not my true will. This is the heart’s barrier of the Mysterious Pass."

Chen Mu took a deep breath as his mind swiftly returned to a state of calmness and composure.

It’s no wonder they say the Mysterious Pass is difficult to break through.

He merely thought about attempting to break through the Mysterious Pass, and a natural desire to transcend the limitations of his flesh and ascend to enlightenment, as if breaching the Mysterious Pass would allow him to become an immortal and achieve ultimate freedom, rose within him.

But in reality, he was well aware that such thoughts were illusory, pure delusions. If he truly broke through the Mysterious Pass and his Souls Intention burst forth from his body to merge into the universe, it would mean the end of his earthly body, never to return.

The Mysterious Pass was not a barrier for escaping the constraints of the flesh; there were no immortals or buddhas in this world.

This step was not about forsaking the flesh; on the contrary, it involved completely breaking down the barriers between spirit and body to achieve unity, to cleanse and purify, to connect bones and marrow, without imperfections, and to cultivate the True Martial Body.

Without a sufficiently strong Martial Arts Will, one would naturally succumb to heart demon-like temptations at the threshold of the Mysterious Pass. Yet with impulse, that breakthrough could never succeed. Stay connected with novelbuddy

It was like a person who grew up at home and, one day, had to step outside to face the wider world. They needed the courage to face that world, yet they could not be seduced by its vastness and must maintain unwavering determination in both mind and body.

However,

Chen Mu’s Martial Arts Will was firm and equal to a Grandmaster’s, instantly allowing him to regain complete peace and quiet.

"Indeed, to become a Grandmaster is a major challenge of Martial Arts,"

He sighed to himself.

It’s no wonder that throughout his journey, his outstanding Martial Arts talent drew the attention of the entire Cold North Path of the Eleven State, yet no Grandmaster challenged him. Even the schemes of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion against him were orchestrated by those at the Six Viscera Realm beneath them.
