Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 835: Original text: Chapter 455 World Divided into 9 Parts_2

With Hua Nongyue’s detailed explanation, the current landscape of the Da Xuan Dynasty became clear to Chen Mu.

In just two short years, the entire realm had indeed undergone drastic changes!

King Han ascended the throne, the six kings split apart, and with King of the North Garrison Yuan Hong, the Six Paths Alliance of the Western Pass Domain, the once unified Da Xuan Dynasty had fragmented into nine different territories!

“The great forces of the world, long united, must divide; long divided, must unite.”

Chen Mu gazed at the map and distribution of forces in the current Da Xuan Dynasty created by Hua Nongyue and murmured to himself.

At this moment, Hua Nongying gently leaned in, resting against Chen Mu’s side, a glimmer in her eyes, and said with a hopeful tone, “The world is divided, Da Xuan has gradually lost the people’s hearts, and its legitimacy has been shaken, just like the chaotic times a thousand years ago. With your current capabilities, you could sweep across the world, unify the seas, and restore order.”

Since the reign of Emperor Jingtai Ji Yongzhao, the Da Xuan Dynasty Court had been moving against the tide, and with the Eight Princes’ internal strife leading to widespread chaos, now each has established their own territories, fragmenting the realm into nine parts. This is remarkably similar to the chaotic structure of over a millennium ago.

And in this era of turmoil, Chen Mu has emerged out of the blue, rising to prominence within the realm.

Back then, Ji Hao was able to quell the chaos and establish the Da Xuan Dynasty, ruling the realm for over a thousand years. She and her sister have no doubt that the current Chen Mu possesses the same capability to once again pacify the turmoil and bring the world back to unity!

By that time, whether to rule the world under the name of Da Xuan or to redefine mountains and rivers and recreate the universe, would merely be a matter of Chen Mu’s whim. Such thoughts naturally filled her with endless yearning.

Especially Hua Nongying.

Leaning against Chen Mu’s left shoulder, feeling his presence, she recalled their first meeting many years ago in the small corner of Yu County, Yu State. Her gaze showed a hint of enamor.

Back then, Chen Mu was merely making a name in a small place, not even worthy of her attention as a Hehuan True Inheritor, but the years passed swiftly. Now, Chen Mu was no longer a mere official in a small corner of Yu County, but a Martial Saint standing at the pinnacle of the current martial world, possessing the capability to change the world!

Thinking of it now felt as incredible as a dream.

“Restoring order to the universe?”

Chen Mu listened to Hua Nongying’s words, slightly savoring the term, but said nothing more, instead casting his deep gaze into the distance, taking in the vast endless ocean.

Conquering the land and ruling as an emperor had never been his aspiration. If he had heard such words many years ago, perhaps they would have stirred his heart, but now he viewed them with indifference.

Compared to transcending heaven and earth and stepping into the God Realm, such mundane matters no longer held much importance to him.

However, should the world fall into chaos and the common people suffer, millions living in dire straits, he wouldn’t hesitate to act, restoring order, for it was no difficult task for him.

“Let’s return to Cold North first.”

Chen Mu finally spoke.

For him now, the world’s situation was something he could easily manipulate, but it was no longer something he urgently needed to address. After over two years away, he just wanted to go back to Cold North, to Yu State, to see how things were there.

And after that, he would start with the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, Blood Hidden Pavilion, King Han Ji Xuanfei, King Liang Ji Xuanzhen, not to mention the Sky Demon Sect and Heavenly Corpse Sect; none would escape. He would settle past grievances one by one!

…

It was while Chen Mu, Hua Nongyue, and Hua Nongying were on their way back to the Da Xuan Dynasty.

The news of Chen Mu reappearing in the Outer Sea, ascending Tingchao Cliff, and discussing Tao with the Heavenly People Supreme on Tingchao Cliff finally crossed the vast ocean, traveled across the vast territories of the Da Xuan Dynasty, and reached the Central Prefecture.

Central Prefecture, the Capital City, within the Imperial City.
