Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 832 - 454 Watching the Sea and Listening to the Tides

Chen Mu slashed out with his blade, causing an immense tension throughout the entirety of Tingchao Cliff. Especially now, as Dragonwood Island Master and others returned to Tingchao Cliff, they gazed at the might of that blade, their pupils contracting, revealing a few traces of horror.

"This person is invincible."

The Dragonwood Island Master was filled with a tumultuous wave of emotions.

Two years ago, he had witnessed Chen Mu’s return from Xunmu Cave Heaven, defeating the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion Master and six others. The methods Chen Mu displayed now were undoubtedly far more terrifying than then. This blade, seemingly formed by nature, was elusive and profound yet carried an unpredictable might. The blade’s edge seemed to transmit through the void, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to evade!

If such a blade couldn’t be dodged, then it could only be met directly, yet even with the status of Dragonwood Island Master, one of the top experts below a Celestial Human, he couldn’t withstand such a void-tearing blade, death would be almost immediate upon evasion.

Such terror.

Even when facing a Celestial Human like Cang Ming, he could still assure some measure of self-preservation. But in front of Chen Mu, one strike almost guaranteed death on the spot. The disparity in strength was as vast as that between him and the Marrow-Cleansing Grandmasters!

"Congratulations to Peak Master Chen for forging the Spirit Blade."

From Cang Ming came a congratulatory voice.

"It’s just a small weapon, better than nothing."

Chen Mu put down the Qiankun Blade, shaking his head casually.

Spirit Weapons primarily assist their wielders in harnessing the Power of Heaven and Earth. For martial artists who develop both physique and artistic conception in balance, a handy Spirit Weapon can boost their might by 20% to 30%. But for him, the boost isn’t that significant, as his strength comes more from his physique and his artistic conception hasn’t reached the unity of Heaven and Man. Although his Soul Heart is strong, his Qiankun Artistic Conception’s power is still slightly inferior to true Celestial Humans like Cang Ming.

Given this foundation, the Qiankun Blade adds only a slight refinement in harnessing the power of heaven and earth. If he could obtain a Qiankun Spirit Weapon of the quality of the Human Emperor Seal and further refine it with the Supreme Tai Qing Qi, it might indeed provide a notable enhancement for him.

"To forge a weapon in two days, Peak Master Chen’s comprehension of the Qiankun Path has indeed reached perfection. It won’t be long before he steps into the Celestial Human realm... It just so happens that today the weapon is formed, and the once in a hundred years ocean tide is approaching, fitting perfectly to observe this marvelous spectacle of heaven and earth."

Cang Ming smiled at Chen Mu as he spoke.

At this moment,

the top of Tingchao Cliff was shrouded in clouds and mist, denser than before. Aside from the clear area around the pavilion, other regions were so thick with fog that one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face.

Chen Mu could sense that not only was Cang Ming present, but along the top of Tingchao Cliff downwards, there were several not insignificant auras, four experts of the Blood Exchange Realm in total, followed by numerous Marrow-Cleansing Grandmasters farther below.

These were all elders and even Supreme figures of Tingchao Cliff.

The presence of many experts was not out of ill intentions towards him, but to witness the once-in-a-century great tide.

This marvelous spectacle of the Outer Sea was a rarity occurring only once a century. Most martial artists might not witness such a scene twice in their lifetime. Even for Blood Exchange Realm experts, it was an opportunity to comprehend Heaven and Earth, and for Tingchao Cliff, it was naturally impossible to miss out.

At this moment, nearly all Blood Exchange and Marrow-Cleansing experts had arrived. However, since Cang Ming and Chen Mu stood at the top of Tingchao Cliff, even the Blood Exchange Supremes had to settle for positions behind.

"Good."

Chen Mu also waved his hand, retracting the Qiankun Blade, then took a few steps towards the edge of Tingchao Cliff, arriving at the very brink. Gazing ahead, he saw the vast sea of clouds, mist billowing like tides.

The sound of the tides came continuously to his ears, sometimes like a thunderclap, sometimes like the roar of tigers and the cries of dragons. The sea tide beneath the cliff and the mist atop the cliff seemed to merge, as if the heavens and the vast ocean had become one.

Thud, thud,

Cang Ming also stepped forward, standing beside Chen Mu, gazing ahead.

Even though the fog was thick, for beings like Chen Mu and Cang Ming, penetrating the fog with their sight was a simple feat. Yet, at this moment, neither Chen Mu nor Cang Ming attempted to peer through the fog to observe the tide.

This place was named Tingchao Cliff not for viewing the tide, but for listening to it.

By observing the rolling clouds, one understands the transformations of heaven and earth; by listening to the surge of the tides, one comprehends the creation of the world.

Crash!!!

As time passed, towering waves roared in like a tsunami, raising waves nearly a thousand feet high. The giant waves, carrying the overpowering sea tide, pressed down as if the heavens were collapsing.

Even Marrow-Cleansing and Blood Exchange Realm experts would have their minds shaken in the face of this seemingly limitless might of Heaven and Earth. Even as Celestial Humans, they could only feel the tininess of their existence, like a lone boat tumbling in the tide.

Chen Mu listened to the tide, a thread of his Soul Heart gradually merging with the heavens.

Although he had not mastered the third step of Qiankun Artistic Conception, his Power of the Soul was not inferior to any Celestial Human. He could also merge a thread of it with the heavens, albeit not able to sense thousands of miles like Celestial Humans.

Currently, his Qiankun Domain extended only a few hundred feet, and his Soul Heart could sense only two to three thousand feet. However, this was already enough, far surpassing the sensing range of ordinary Blood Exchange Realm experts, enabling him to overlook the century-old tide.

Boom!!!

Thousand-foot waves struck Tingchao Cliff, like heaven and earth collided, giving a feeling of the earth shaking and mountains swaying. The sound of the thunderous explosion almost echoed for a thousand miles, causing countless people on the island to have their eardrums hum and momentarily lose their hearing.
