Chapter 474 Going Against the Will of Heaven (7k3)
Hanbei.
Yu County, Yuzhou.
Somewhere in the courtyard of the Yu family in the inner city.
Yan Jingqing was dressed in cloth and sat across from Yu Jiujiang. There was a chessboard on the stone platform between the two. The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard were entangled with each other, just like two black and white dragons fighting each other.
There was a storm on the chessboard, but there was peace outside the chessboard.
"Chen Mu has gone to Zhongzhou."
Yan Jingqing picked up Baizi, dropped it gently, and suddenly spoke to Yu Jiujiang.
Yu Jiujiang looked old, and his face was full of aging wrinkles, but his energy was still very good and he looked energetic. At this time, his old right hand slowly raised, and he picked up a sunspot between his two fingers. Tap lightly in the center of the board.
A child falls,
The entire chessboard seemed to be boiling with murderous intent.
Although the chessboard seemed to be turned upside down and the fight was at its most intense, in the world outside the chessboard, Yu Jiujiang smiled kindly and said with some emotion: "He has always acted like this, clean and neat, without any sloppiness."
That's how it used to be.
The people of the He family provoked Chen Mu, and Chen Mu took action secretly. At that time, Chen Mu was extremely weak, but he still dared to attack and kill the direct descendants of the He family. He did the same thing after that. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would use thunderous means to kill the heirs of the He family. The situation uprooted the He family.
Today, Chen Mu has reached the stage of blood exchange. Looking at the whole world, I am afraid that nothing can threaten Chen Mu. Even the center of the imperial court, Emperor Daxuan, is not in the eyes of Chen Mu. If he wants to settle old grudges, naturally he will not Will be slow.
Thinking about it makes me full of emotions.
Although Chen Mu had never caught his eye at first, later Chen Mu followed Xu Hongyu and came to the Yu family. After he first emerged outside, he had been paying attention to Chen Mu. At that time, he only knew that Chen Mu was not a creature in the pond. In the future, he might become the support of the Yu family, but he never thought that in just over ten years, not only the Yu family, but also the pond of Yu County and even the entire Yuzhou would not be able to carry Chen Mu's progress.
Who would have thought that a low-level police officer in the outer city of Yu County had not practiced martial arts since he was a child, but only started to practice martial arts when he was more than 20 years old, but in just over ten years, he swept the world and aspired to the top of martial arts!
"There is going to be chaos in Zhongzhou again."
Yan Jingqing sighed softly and said, "If there is chaos, the people will suffer."
Chen Mu went to Zhongzhou without concealing his whereabouts. It is now known to all parties that he was undoubtedly heading for the Master of Xuanji Pavilion and others. When the time comes, there will inevitably be a collision with the imperial forces in Zhongzhou. In any case, chaos in the state cannot be avoided. of.
At nine points today, the chaotic world has come to an abrupt end. All forces have divided the world and ruled it. Hanbei alone can see that the situation has taken on a new look, and this is a scene he would like to see.
In fact, he doesn't want to see the world in chaos again. After all, the common people have experienced so many years of chaos, and it's time to recuperate. But Chen Mu has achieved great success in martial arts, and some of the past life-and-death feuds will naturally be settled. Therefore, he could only hope in his heart that the disaster in Zhongzhou would not be too big, nor would it spread too widely.
Say it.
Yan Jingqing picked up another white piece and landed it on the chessboard to resist the siege of Yu Jiujiang's black pieces.
This move seemed ordinary, but it defused Yu Jiujiang's offensive on the board just right, and turned his defense into an offensive posture. It also made Yu Jiujiang fall into deep thought. His thoughts were confused for a while, but he couldn't find a way to deal with it.
After all, he is old. Even if Chen Mu extends his life, his energy is not as good as before. However, Yan Jingqing is a master of the Six Fu realm on the most popular list. He is still in his prime and full of energy. The first half of the game can be based on experience. Evenly matched, in the second half of the game it was obvious that they would gradually fall into the disadvantage.
but.
Just when Yu Jiujiang sighed softly in his heart, feeling that his thoughts were too messy to continue, and he didn't know where to go next, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, picked up a sunspot, and dropped it with a click. On the chessboard.
When this piece fell, the entire chessboard situation was overturned again in an instant. Yan Jingqing's piece, which had been freed from murderous intent, was about to turn from defense to offense, but the white piece was once again choked and turned sharply!
"?!"
Yan Jingqing and Yu Jiujiang were suddenly stunned.
The two of them turned their heads and saw a familiar figure appearing in the courtyard, standing on the side of Yu Jiujiang. The man was dressed in white, his expression was indifferent, and his appearance was a bit smaller than before. He is young and immature, but a little more calm. His whole person seems to have an aloofness and aura that is above the world.
The figure who suddenly appeared in the courtyard was none other than Chen Mu!
Uh-huh.
Yan Jingqing and Yu Jiujiang stood up almost at the same time, one was a little surprised, the other was very happy.
Didn't Chen Mu go to Zhongzhou?
It had only been less than a day, how could he appear here again?
"The old man is very old. I have lost a son on his behalf. Master Yan should not blame me."
Chen Mu stood aside, looking at Yan Jingqing and Yu Jiujiang, and said with an easy-going smile.
After the initial surprise, Yan Jingqing quickly recovered. He looked at the chessboard and said helplessly: "This move of yours ruined half of my layout... Didn't you go to Zhongzhou? Why did you move so quickly?" came back."
When he said the first half of the sentence, his eyes were still on the chessboard, but when he said the second half, he was already looking at Chen Mu.
After many years, when he saw Chen Mu again, his heart was inevitably filled with ups and downs. All kinds of memories from the past came to his mind. When he looked at the person in front of him now, he might be the number one martial artist in the world, he still felt like he was in a dream. field.
"After handling it, I'll be back."
Chen Mu responded in an easy-going manner.
This sentence made both Yan Jingqing and Yu Jiujiang startled. They both knew what Chen Mu was going to Zhongzhou to do, which was to deal with Xuanji Pavilion and Xueyin Tower. Now Xuanji Pavilion and Xueyin Tower are both They are already officials of the imperial court. To oppose these two sects is to fight against the imperial court. No matter how you think about it, it will be a protracted battle.
But now it seems that it was picked up high, put down gently, and ended in one day. Could it be that the court and Chen Mu each took a step back and reached some agreement?
Such a thought flashed through Yan Jingqing's mind.
And then, he heard Chen Mu say: "Master Yan has shown me the kindness of knowing and supporting me. I will never forget it over the years. I have gained a little from my trip to Zhongzhou. Master Yan can use this thing to activate his qi and blood. Loosen the entrance door, and there will be another opportunity to cleanse the marrow."
As Chen Mu spoke, he took out a bright red, palm-sized spiritual object like Ganoderma lucidum from his sleeve, and gently handed it to Yan Jingqing.
Yan Jingqing has practiced in the field and is ranked on the most popular list. When it comes to impacting the marrow cleansing realm, it is already enough. The reason why he cannot cross the bottleneck is because he is already over fifty years old, his bone marrow has degenerated, and his qi and blood are no longer strong. It is impossible to open the mysterious portal again, but there are no absolutes in the world, and there are also unique heaven and earth spiritual things in the world that can activate the energy and blood and reshape opportunities.
The Ten Thousand Years Blood Seed in his hand is one of them.
"this……"
Yan Jingqing is not an ordinary person. When he saw the Ten Thousand Years Blood Seed that Chen Mu handed over, he naturally recognized what kind of spiritual object it was at the first sight, and his expression was immediately shocked. This was what he had been trying to find all along. It is one of the world's spiritual beings, but it is extremely rare. Even if it is a being in the blood exchange realm, it is not easy to search for it. After so many years, he has never even heard the news, so his thoughts have gradually faded away.
But he never thought that what he was looking for today would suddenly appear in front of him.
"This thing is too valuable, I'm afraid I don't dare to bear it."
Yan Jingqing looked at the ten-thousand-year-old blood sesame and took a deep breath. After many years of recuperation, he could not completely calm down at this time. After all, this represented an opportunity to attack the marrow. He was also a warrior. Who among the warriors in the world didn't want to have a glimpse of a higher level? Martial arts?
What's more, the six-organ state and the marrow-cleansing state are the difference between heaven and earth. Although he is a master on the list, he is far from a real master. And if he becomes a master, he will not be weak among the masters. What's more important What's more, his lifespan will also be greatly increased. The value of all this is difficult for him to measure in terms of value.
"Although this item is precious, it is of no use to me. Besides, I don't have more than this. Master Yan just accepts it."
Chen Mu said to Yan Jingqing.
Hearing what Chen Mu said, Yan Jingqing knew that he could not refuse. He was not a pedantic person, so he collected the ten-thousand-year-old blood sesame. At the same time, he looked at Chen Mu and said with emotion: "After passing through the years, things have changed and people have changed. I still vividly remember the day when I first met you in the Supervisory Department, and now you have reached the top of martial arts, and as you said back then, you are a true martial saint."
At the beginning, he thought that Chen Mu might have more than ten years before he could reach the top of the charts and be on par with him. However, the fact was that he had underestimated Chen Mu's talent. In more than ten years, he would be able to reach the top of the charts. , Today's Chen Mu has even entered the realm of blood exchange and has reached the forefront of martial arts.
"Martial arts are endless, and Tao has no limits. I am just a secular warrior who is still looking for a way forward."
Chen Mu shook his head, his expression not showing much arrogance.
Maybe he is invincible in the world of Daxuan, but looking at the sky and the universe, it is still nothing. Not to mention the divine realm, not to mention the terrifying existence like Xunmu, just under the divine realm, there are A powerful man of the ninth level below the gods.
Speaking of which,
Chen Mu also changed his words and said calmly: "I know that Master Yan's life wish is to cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. When the world is ninety-nine and the chaos has stopped, it is the time for all living beings to recuperate and recuperate. If Master Yan has If you wish, you can take this letter from me and go to Zhongzhou to join the cabinet and show your ambition in life. "
Say it.
He took out a letter he had already written from his sleeve.
For him now, how to arrange the internal affairs of the imperial court is just a matter of thought. Yan Jingqing has obtained the Ten Thousand Years Blood Seed this time. If he can succeed in one fell swoop and step into the realm of the Marrow Cleansing Master, then he will indeed have some reasons for joining the cabinet. Political qualifications, after all, the current Zhongzhou court no longer rules the world with imperial power, but with capable people ascending to the throne. He introduced Yan Jingqing to the cabinet. How far he can go after that depends on Yan Jingqing's own abilities.
"this……"
After hearing what Chen Mu said, Yan Jingqing took the letter and was immediately startled.
Today, in the eleven prefectures of Hanbei, Zhenbei Prefecture governs the states and all counties. He still serves as the supervisor and has never been promoted. Even when it comes to real power, after Zhenbei Prefecture took control of Hanbei, it has declined. Compared with There is a natural difference between heaven and earth when you ascend to the imperial court and enter the cabinet. Even though the imperial court today only controls the eleven states of Gyeonggi Province, the status of cabinet ministers is completely different.
But these are not critical. What is important is that a letter from Chen Mu can influence the matter of joining the cabinet? !
The cabinet of the imperial court assists in government affairs. It is the real center. It not only requires the approval of Emperor Xuan, but also requires qualifications, connections, and status... Although Chen Mu can now dominate the world with military force, the decision of cabinet ministers is the foundation of the emperor's power. Can the newly succeeded Emperor Xuan Ji Xuanfei give in to Chen Mu to this extent?
But even if Emperor Xuan is really extremely afraid of Chen Mu and can give in even on such a matter, he also knows how complicated the court of Zhongzhou is. Not to mention that he is only in the Six Internal Organs Realm now, even if he really enters the Marrow Washing Realm and becomes a master, he is nothing in Zhongzhou. In addition, he has no foundation and background, and entering the cabinet is just a nominal position.
But.
In the final analysis, this is an opportunity to enter the cabinet, which is his lifelong ambition. Even if the situation in Zhongzhou is complicated, with Emperor Xuan above and various sects below, he can't be afraid of it.
"Don't worry, Lord Yan. The current situation in Zhongzhou is not what Lord Yan expected."
Chen Mu saw the change in Yan Jingqing's eyes. Seeing that Yan Jingqing seemed to have a look of wind and cold water, he couldn't help but smile and said to Yan Jingqing simply, "Anyway, Lord Yan should know the situation after some time. It won't be too late for Lord Yan to make a decision then."
Speaking of this.
Chen Mu looked at Yu Jiujiang on the side again, and told Yu Jiujiang a few words, talking about the situation of Qixuan Sect, Xu Hongyu's recent situation, and Chen Yao, the daughter Xu Hongyu gave birth to for him. After hearing this, Yu Jiujiang's old face seemed to have recovered a little redness, and his eyes were also shining.
After hearing Chen Mu's words that he would bring Chen Yao and Xu Hongyu back to Yu County to visit when he was free, Yu Jiujiang said yes again and again, and for a while, even his spirit seemed to have recovered a lot.
"Okay, I came here in a hurry, so I won't bother you any more. Old man, Lord Yan, I'll take my leave first."
After Chen Mu talked to Yu Jiujiang for a while, he nodded and said goodbye to them, then turned around and took a step. With one step, he disappeared quietly in the courtyard without any trace.
Yan Jingqing and Yu Jiujiang both watched Chen Mu leave, and neither Yu Jiujiang nor Yan Jingqing could detect any trace of Chen Mu's departure. The difference between them and Chen Mu was already heaven and earth.
Yu Jiujiang looked at Chen Mu disappearing with a kind expression, then looked at Yan Jingqing, and said with a smile: "Lord Yan can finally show his life ambition this time."
Although I don't know how Chen Mu was able to get Yan Jingqing into the cabinet with a letter, but Chen Mu is now such a status. Since he said it, it must not be empty talk.
Yan Jingqing nodded slightly and said, "If you can share the worries of the state, you should do your best and die for it."
It is unknown how many changes Chen Mu's trip to Zhongzhou has caused there, but Chen Mu did not hide his whereabouts during this trip. He went directly to Zhongzhou in front of the world. It will not take long for the news to be passed back.
The news of the situation in Kyoto spread faster than Yan Jingqing expected. Almost half a day after Chen Mu returned to Hanbei, the news that Chen Mu swept Kyoto and trampled on the imperial power in one day swept the entire Yuzhou.
This also shocked Yan Jingqing, Yu Jiujiang, and even the entire Yu family, including Chen Mu's old friends in the past. They looked up at the sky for a long time without saying a word. Especially Yan Jingqing, only then did he know why Chen Mu could let him enter the cabinet to assist in the administration with just a letter, without considering Emperor Xuan's thoughts, foundation, power, ability, etc.
Even Emperor Xuan Ji Xuanfei himself was destroyed by Chen Mu!
Moreover.
The current Daxuan court said to the outside world that Emperor Xuan Ji Xuanfei was perverse, while Chen Mu was upholding the will of heaven, following the principles of heaven, punishing him on behalf of heaven, rectifying the chaos, and restoring the world!
This is more than just sweeping away the imperial power. This is completely relying on his own strength to suppress the entire Daxuan court, so that the entire court can act in accordance with Chen Mu's will.
It can be said that Chen Mu changed the whole world in just one day!
Martial Saint!
He is called a saint for martial arts, and he is the best for thousands of years!
The conversation between Chen Mu and him in the Supervisory Department that year is still vivid until now. Even with the arrival of the news, it kept ringing in Yan Jingqing's heart, like a rolling thunder, which was continuous. It took him a long time to recover. He looked up at the vast sky, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
...
And when the whole Hanbei, and even the whole world, were shocked and speechless by the battle of Zhongzhou.
Chen Mu has quietly returned to the gate of Qixuan Sect.
At this moment.
On Lingxuan Peak.
In the purple bamboo forest, Chen Mu was holding Chen Yao in his arms, sitting on a bamboo chair, and talking about something with a gentle look, while Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue, Xiaohe and others sat around him.
After hearing Chen Mu's calm tone of narrating all the means of sweeping across millions of Qinglong troops, slaughtering all the Blood Clothes Guards, killing into the imperial city, and completely destroying Emperor Xuan Ji Xuanfei in front of the Golden Palace, everyone was in a trance.
Although, as early as when Chen Mu returned, Chen Yue and others knew that the most difficult hurdle had been passed, and there would be no enemies of Chen Mu in the world in the future, but Chen Mu's ability to destroy the imperial city in one day was still beyond imagination, like a dream.
You know.
Today, although the realm of Chen Yue, Xu Hongyu and others is not very high, they are all still in the Six Internal Organs Realm, but because of their special status, they are Chen Mu's close friends. Even the masters treat them with courtesy and are very polite. Therefore, when it comes to vision, everyone has it, and they all know what a behemoth the Daxuan Dynasty, which has ruled the world for thousands of years, is.
There are endless masters in the blood exchange realm, even masters of heaven and humans are not uncommon, and they have countless foundations. There are formations that are much more terrifying than the Qiankun Dragon Locking Formation of Qixuan Sect, and its terrifying level is unimaginable.
but.
It is such a huge force that has ruled the world for thousands of years and is regarded as the orthodox Daxuan Dynasty in the world. Now it is suppressed by Chen Mu on his own. From then on, the entire world and the whole world will be governed by Chen Mu's will. To respect.
"From now on, my brother will be the real Martial Saint..."
Chen Yue looked at Chen Mu blankly for a moment and murmured in a daze.
Memory drifts.
The winter 20 years ago flashed through her mind, when Chen's father passed away, leaving two orphaned brothers and sisters. She only remembered that the winter of that year was particularly cold, almost reaching the level of a cold disaster. There was a lack of charcoal for the stove at home and only There is a dirty quilt.
Chen Mu went out in the wind and snow, picked up some old rags and some scattered dry firewood, and lit it in the room. The brother and sister just wrapped themselves in a quilt and huddled together, roasting the little bits. fire.
Time flies, and twenty years pass by in a hurry.
now.
She is also a master of martial arts in the Six Fu realm. She can serve as a protector in the Qixuan Sect and can be called a powerful person in small places. And her brother Chen Mu even walked out of that remote thatched cottage and became a martial artist. Holy, the best in the world!
It was like a dream in a trance, and Chen Yue even felt a trace of fear for no reason. She was afraid that it was all a dream, just a winter dream huddled in the cold, and she didn't know when she might wake up. .
Boom.
But at this moment, Chen Mu's finger reached out and flicked her forehead.
Chen Yue was in pain and subconsciously shrank back. He recovered from his daze immediately, then covered his forehead and looked at Chen Mu pitifully, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At the same time, he felt that his body was soaked in cold sweat. wet.
Compared with ordinary people, she grew up under Chen Mu's wings most of the time. She did not have enough experience and her will was not strong enough. At that moment, she felt a little dazed. If it weren't for Chen Mu, A snap of her fingers woke her up. If she continued to be immersed like that, there would be no good, only harm, and it might even become a flaw in the future attack on the entrance.
"Master, will you be number one in the world from now on?"
Xiao He stood aside and spoke with some leisurely fascination. She could be regarded as a person who had witnessed Chen Mu's rise step by step, from the small Yu County to the vast land of Yuzhou, until he dominated the world.
Chen Mu smiled softly and said: "There is no problem with the name of the Martial Saint. As for the number one in the world, or if you still have a little doubt, don't underestimate this hero in the world. When I go to Kunlun Mountain in two years, I will discuss the Tao." , there is no more controversy.”
This life is indeed extraordinary.
He came to this world and rose up in this world. Not to mention, Ji Yongzhao can also be said to be a rare person in a thousand years. As for the other top masters of heaven and humans, there may also be people who explore the wilderness and have their own unique methods.
His martial arts practice has always been one step at a time, and he has never been proud of himself. Especially after knowing the ninth level of the gods, he understands that his current martial arts is still far away from the god realm, and he cannot be called invincible under the god realm.
"My father is a great hero, a great hero, the best in the world, and a peerless martial arts sage. I will also practice martial arts in the future and be as powerful as my father."
Chen Yao was sitting in Chen Mu's arms, with her head raised, a look of admiration on her face, and she spoke softly.
Chen Mu laughed loudly when he heard this, touched Chen Yao's little head kindly, then put her in Xu Hongyu's arms, then stood up and said: "I have gained a lot from this trip to Zhongzhou, and you have also gained a lot. Something that can be used.”
Say it.
He took out the Qiankun bottle and took out several items in succession.
Among the thousand-year heritage of the Daxuan imperial court, there are many spiritual objects that are extremely rare and rare. Among them are heaven and earth spiritual objects such as Ten Thousand Years Blood Seed, which can activate Qi and blood and help warriors attack the marrow cleansing entrance. Such spiritual objects are very rare treasures.
In Chen Mu's hands, there is far more than one kind of these, and there are many treasures that can be used to solidify the foundation, including soul lotus, etc., which are suitable for Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue and others to use.
Xu Hongyu's foundation is not deep enough, and she even delayed practicing for a year in order to give birth to Chen Yao. With her foundation and martial arts, it is very difficult to break into the marrow cleansing entrance. Now it is almost impossible to cross that barrier on her own. Low, but with the help of these heaven and earth spiritual beings brought by Chen Mu, her confidence can be increased by at least 30%!
But only 30%.
This is the ultimate that external forces can achieve. After all, the step of cleansing the marrow entrance depends more on the warrior himself.
As for Chen Yue, the situation is much better than that of Xu Hongyu. He also brings many spiritual objects to use, and the certainty of breaking through the entrance will be greatly increased. It is estimated that with two or three more years of accumulation, the certainty of success will be at least more than Five percent.
For a warrior, this is already considered extremely high. After all, it is often difficult to give birth to a grandmaster even in ten marrow cleansing realms.
"alright."
After Chen Mu distributed the spiritual objects to each of them, he said seriously: "For the next period of time, I will stay in the sect, but I will practice in seclusion in the forbidden area. Don't let your martial arts practice fall behind. I hope you can all Crossing the entrance and entering the realm of marrow cleansing will not only increase your strength, but also greatly extend your life span in the future."
The last sentence is what Chen Mu really cares about.
The improvement in strength of Chen Yue, Xu Hongyu and others actually does not mean much to him. There is no difference between the Grandmaster and the Six Fu realms in his eyes. The only difference is that after entering the Grandmaster and practicing martial arts, they can better withstand their But this is not important, what is important is still life span.
For ordinary mortals, it is considered a long life to live over fifty years old. Very few ordinary people can live over sixty years old.
A martial artist who has reached the six-organ realm can easily live over a hundred years old. However, after a hundred years, his energy and blood will still decline. Only by reaching the marrow-cleansing realm and practicing martial arts can his lifespan be extended by one hundred years. Over fifty years old.
Chen Mu knew that sooner or later, he would be able to step into the divine realm, transcend this world, and achieve immortality, but he was not sure that Chen Yue, Xu Hongyu, and others could become immortal with him.
To this.
There was nothing he could do.
He can only hope that Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue and others can improve their martial arts cultivation and extend their lifespan as much as possible. Then maybe one day in the future, after he sets foot in the divine realm, he can find more ways to extend their lifespan. .
Although birth, old age, illness and death are the cycle of human nature and the ultimate principle of heaven and earth, at this stage, he has set his sights on the divine realm that is beyond heaven and earth. Naturally, he will no longer obey the will of heaven and earth, but must go against heaven and earth.
"We will."
Xu Hongyu spoke softly next to Chen Mu.
She knows Chen Mu's thoughts, and they are not the same. She hopes to live for a long time and stay with Chen Mu for a longer time. This is not only for herself, but also for Chen Mu. She also doesn't want to see him more than a hundred years later. , everyone aged and died, leaving only Chen Mu walking alone in the vast world.
She did not hesitate to delay her own practice, but also wanted to give birth to Chen Yao for Chen Mu, not only to pass on the bloodline for Chen Mu, but also so that after countless years, after she, Xiao He, Chen Yue and others all passed away one by one, there would still be someone else. Accompany Chen Mu.
now.
The world is settled.
For Chen Mu and them, all enemies are gone, so the only remaining enemy is God's will.
"Um."
Chen Mu caressed Xu Hongyu's cheek with soft eyes and let her lean into his arms. After a long time, he finally got up, left the bamboo forest, walked out of Lingxuan Peak, and headed towards the forbidden area deep inside Qixuan Sect.
