Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 800: After Modification: 440 Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao_2

Chapter 800: After Modification -440 Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao_2

Only the power of the soul of a Celestial Master could barely catch a glimpse, and even that was just a glance.

After Ji Yongzhao comprehended this method, he didn’t have absolute confidence in success, so he made numerous preparations. He arranged for Wei He, the head of the Inner Bureau, to deal with the court dynamics, planned matters posthumously, and planted ‘dark players’ within the court and certain factions to ensure that he could maintain control regardless of success or failure.

Finally.

He took that step and eventually woke up successfully!

Before Chen Mu, the Da Xuan Dynasty had produced nine Qiankun Grandmasters. The ninth Qiankun Grandmaster died and dissipated after failing to breakthrough to the Blood Exchange Realm before Chen Mu rose in Yu State — but that was merely the surface.

The truth was that when he was attempting the Blood Exchange Realm, Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao forcibly devoured his soul and seized his body using the Soul Fusion and Aperture Seizing technique. Ultimately, Ji Yongzhao maintained himself, completed the transformation, and fully awoke not long ago!

Yes.

The current Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao is indeed a Celestial Being who masters the Qiankun Path!

This is the basis for his disdain for everything in the world!

Once he could wake up successfully, and if the secret Soul Fusion and Body Seizure technique he comprehended and improved were successful, then once he returned, he would step into the Blood Exchange Realm with a complete Qiankun Path, becoming an unparalleled master at the Heavenly Realm, an achievement equal to that of the founding ancestor of Da Xuan!

Thus.

Even if the world fell into chaos, the Eight Princes fought for power, or the court was on the verge of collapse, it wouldn’t mean anything to him. As the founding ancestor pacified the turmoil, he, too, could turn his hand to clouds and rain, supporting the heavens with one hand!

Moreover, by mastering the secret Soul Fusion and Body Seizure technique, he could use this technique indefinitely in the future, practically ensuring his permanence in the world. His achievements would surpass all previous Emperors Xuan, as his name suggests, forever illuminating the world and standing shoulder to shoulder with the founding ancestor!

It can be said that Ji Yongzhao now stands at an unsurpassable pinnacle of invincibility.

He holds the pinnacle of both power and martial arts in the present age.

Today.

The only thing that can catch his eye is the legendary ‘God Realm.’

The development of Body Tempering Martial Arts had yet to reach its peak, unable to touch that level. Ji Yongzhao originally intended to spend the rest of his long, unending life perfecting Body Tempering Martial Arts until it reached the God Realm.

But Chen Mu’s appearance greatly surprised him.

Astonishment aside, he felt an inexplicable sense of destiny.

How fortunate is he in this life?!

Born the first imperial son, under heavy protection, his martial arts practice was unimpeded, without competition, and after ascending to the throne, the four seas were at peace. When he reached the level of Celestial Human and faced the limits of his life, he found a longevity secret technique in the Great Wilderness. When he decided to spend the rest of his life perfecting Body Tempering Martial Arts, someone had already pushed its foundation to the extreme!

Chen Mu, possessing the power akin to Celestial Being in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, achieved what couldn’t be done with the Qiankun Path. Although Ji Yongzhao didn’t know what method Chen Mu used, it was certain he had addressed various flaws and deficiencies of Body Tempering Martial Arts, training step by step to reach such a peak.

More fortuitously.

Chen Mu hadn’t yet attempted the Blood Exchange and entered the Blood Exchange Realm!

If he had woken up later, with Chen Mu’s flawless martial body and unparalleled foundation, passing the life-and-death pass of the Blood Exchange Realm would have been as easy as drinking water, leaving no chance for the Soul Fusion and Body Seizure technique.

With such a perfect and flawless foundation, if Chen Mu stepped into that realm, even if Ji Yongzhao wielded the Qiankun Martial Body and was one step ahead in the Celestial Human realm, he might not be able to best Chen Mu.

Chen Mu would become his lifelong arch-enemy!

But now.

Destiny stands on his side.

Chen Mu hasn’t attempted the Blood Exchange yet, but Ji Yongzhao arrived early. All he needs to do is wait for Chen Mu to attempt the Blood Exchange Realm, then he can use the secret technique to seize Chen Mu’s flawless Qiankun Martial Body!

By that time, he might see the path to the God Realm!

“Whew.”

Ji Yongzhao exhaled lightly, gathering his breath to the extreme, hiding in a place without any trace of his presence.

Having found Chen Mu’s hiding place, he only needed to wait.

As for whether the Soul Fusion and Body Seizure technique would succeed, he never considered, since the first fusion was the hardest and most dangerous, but he had succeeded. The second time would be easier.

When a martial artist tries the Blood Exchange Realm, their soul and body are fully exposed between Heaven and Earth, enduring the baptism of the Power of Heaven and Earth. During this process, they are entirely defenseless against the Soul Fusion and Body Seizure technique and can only resist with the power of their soul!

Though Chen Mu’s martial arts foundation is strong, he is ultimately not a Celestial Being and never endured the baptism of Heaven and Earth during the Blood Exchange breakthrough. No matter how strong his soul, how strong could it be?

…

While Emperor Xuan Ji Yongzhao hid, withdrew his presence, and waited.

In the depths of the cave.

Chen Mu’s transformation continued.

Unlike the Blood Exchange breakthrough, his soul was fully retracted within his body, nourished by the warm spiritual power of the Red Birth Fruit, cleansing him of impurities.

Like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, Chen Mu could clearly sense his changing soul, his perception of heaven and earth becoming sharper, like a deaf and blind person gradually recovering.

Indeed.

His perception was already strong, his soul among the strongest of his peers, but now his soul strength was surpassing the boundary of grandmasters, reaching the heights held by those in the Blood Exchange Realm, and still slowly strengthening.

If Chen Mu deployed the Qiankun Domain now, its range would not be just tens of feet but extend to over a hundred feet!

Normally, a grandmaster in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, having not passed the life-and-death threshold and not had his soul refined by the Power of Heaven and Earth, should not possess such soul strength, but Chen Mu achieved it!

And,

Even more!

The spiritual power contained in the Red Birth Fruit was stronger than he had anticipated.

An immature Red Birth Fruit could push Ling Huan’s body to the Blood Exchange Realm’s threshold and his soul to reach complete Celestial Human even without Heaven’s baptism.

The fruit he possessed was forcefully matured by Xunmu, containing immense power. Chen Mu even thought if his Qiankun Martial Body hadn’t been trained to the limit of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, he might attempt it without relying on the system panel!

With the system panel aiding him, the Red Birth Fruit’s power was all directed to purify his soul, strengthening it while expanding his mental domination range.

A hundred feet,

A hundred and twenty feet,

A hundred and forty feet,

…

Two hundred and thirty feet!

When the soul transformation finally ceased, Chen Mu felt his soul strength, the controlled Qiankun Domain reaching a terrifying two hundred and thirty feet, several times stronger than before!

Even Qin Mengjun, who had completed the soul transformation and Blood Exchange Realm, only controlled a little over a hundred feet of Qiankun Domain!

“Excellent.”

Chen Mu sensed his current soul strength, the clearer essence of Heaven and Earth, and the tangible laws of Heaven, feeling immensely satisfied.

Even in pure soul power, an average Celestial Master might not surpass him!

“Two months? Quite long, but finally to this step.”

Refining the Red Birth Fruit took over two months, but the vast changes were worth it, filling the deficiencies in his soul. Now the Blood Exchange threshold seemed almost nonexistent, easily crossed!

Reaching this point, Chen Mu did not hesitate. After calming his mind, restoring a serene state, he focused his intentions on the ‘Mysterious Pass’ at the skull’s apex, feeling like climbing a staircase to the heavens, step by step to the pinnacle,

Then.

He leapt towards the vast infinite heaven…!
