Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 864: Revised: Chapter 464 In Front of the Golden Luang Hall! (8k2)

Jade Capital.

Within the Imperial Palace.

Ji Xuanfei stood clad in a bright yellow dragon robe, gazing from the grand palace across the vast Jade Capital City towards the direction of Northern Heavenly Pass. A look of uncertainty flickered in his eyes.

“This person actually possesses such strength; even the Azure Dragon Army and Blood Garment Guards couldn’t hold him.”

Ji Xuanfei frowned and spoke.

At this moment, there were no palace maids or imperial supervisors in the palace, only a tall man standing beside Ji Xuanfei, who had once acted in the Outer Sea and initially supported Ji Xuanfei, the Celestial Master from the Witch God Sect, Yang Qingshan.

Yang Qingshan stood by Ji Xuanfei’s side. Compared to Ji Xuanfei, he was more familiar with the situation at Northern Heavenly Pass. His gaze was slightly grave as he spoke in a deep voice: “This boy, even before stepping into the Blood Exchange Realm at the Outer Sea, possessed power akin to a Celestial Being. Now, having entered the Blood Exchange Realm, he is extraordinary. The key lies in his power, all of which is focused on his physique. Although a million Azure Dragon Army can suppress a Celestial Being, it is difficult to severely restrict such pure physical power.”

“Indeed so.”

Ji Xuanfei also spoke with a calm face.

He now controlled the Da Xuan Dynasty Court, and the millennium foundation of the Ji family. The Azure Dragon Army could be replenished as long as there were resources, but the destruction of the Blood Garment Guards caused him a genuine ache.

The Blood Garment Guards were different from the Azure Dragon Army; they were truly fully loyal to him, Emperor Xuan, obeying his orders alone, emotionless, fearless of death, merely executing commands—one of the most effective tools in his plan. He aimed to use the Blood Garment Guards to gradually erode the power of figures like the King of Jin and King Chu.

Yet now, Chen Mu had completely wiped them out in one fell swoop!

Though he had discussed strategies to deal with Chen Mu with the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, Yang Qingshan, Ruan Tian, and others, and considered the possibility that the Azure Dragon Army and Blood Garment Guards might fail to capture Chen Mu, he had never anticipated such a devastating defeat!

So much so, that the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, Ruan Tian, and the others dared not carry out the subsequent assassination plan and had already retreated.

“…”

Yang Qingshan focused on the situation at Northern Heavenly Pass, seeing Ruan Tian and others retreating swiftly while Chen Mu broke through Northern Heavenly Pass, descending upon Jade Capital City, and relentlessly pursuing. His brows furrowed deeply.

Even he was astonished by Chen Mu’s Qiankun Martial Body power because, based on his previous judgments and discussions with Ruan Tian and the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion, Chen Mu’s physique shouldn’t be this powerful.

Who was he?

A Celestial Master!

He had personally witnessed Chen Mu’s power before he entered the Blood Exchange Realm at the Outer Sea, and the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion knew even more intimately. They were well aware of Chen Mu’s strength.

Given Chen Mu’s foundation, in the Outer Sea the Blood Exchange should have initially stepped into the realm, with their judgment combined, the Azure Dragon Army and Blood Garment Guards should have been enough to kill Chen Mu.

But clearly.

Chen Mu alone shook the Azure Dragon Army Formation of a million soldiers, showcasing his vigorous power and impressive physique, which could not have been achieved by someone just newly stepping into the Blood Exchange Realm. He had already traveled far down the path of Blood Exchange, further than even a Celestial Master like Yang Qingshan!

“The Eight Realms of Body Tempering, the cultivation path of the Blood Exchange Realm is still incomplete, but based on my many years of cultivation, the Blood Exchange Realm can be divided into Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and even Perfection. Yet, all martial artists stop before reaching Major Achievement.”

“Chen Mu’s physique vigor is perfectly refined, with immense power in a single line, not achievable upon first entry into the Blood Exchange Realm. But how did he achieve this… Logically, the thicker the foundation, the longer the transformation should take.”
