Da Xuan Martial Saint

Yunlu Pass Command Center.

Chen Mu stood atop the Yunlu Wall right in front of the command center, his gaze fixed on the rolling waves of yellow sand in the distant horizon. Some swelled like ocean waves while others spiraled continuously like tornadoes.

In nearly half a month since his arrival at Yunlu Pass, apart from the first day when he had deployed to provide support, killing a Sand Demon, for the rest of the half month, the number of times he took action could be counted on one hand, only four or five times. On one hand, the military power of Spirit Profound Peak was sufficient, and with powerful individuals like Chu Jingsui present, they could often arrive in time to quell most situations, making his involvement unnecessary. On the other hand, Sixth Rank monsters were not that common either; often within a single sand disaster, there wouldn't be many.

As for Seventh Rank,

They were even rarer.

Monsters of the Seventh Rank were often referred to as 'Demon Kings', whose intelligence was nearly akin to humans. It was rare for them to become restless and actively attack human strongholds due to natural disasters, especially now that Da Xuan ruled the world, and all living beings bowed their heads. Intelligent Demon Kings knew they were no match for the Human Race and mostly hid deep in the corners of the Earth's Veins, seldom emerging.

[Experience Points: 3,351]

[Number of Deductions Available: 0]

After surveying the horizon's sandstorms for a while, Chen Mu called up the system interface for a look.

In half a month's time at Yunlu Pass, his Experience Points had increased by nearly over three thousand points. This was indeed much more than what he had gained from contemplating the Artistic Conception Maps at Spirit Profound Peak, but most of these Experience Points came from contemplating the Mysterious Primordial Earth Formation.

After half a month, he had mostly figured out the Mysterious Primordial Earth Formation. Although he might not be able to set it up exactly as it was, that was only due to insufficient Control Power over the Earth's Veins, not because he didn't know how to do it.

To put it plainly,

Your next journey awaits at empire

He was now capable of managing the repair work of the Yunlu Wall to a certain extent.

This was the power of the Qiankun Artistic Conception. It embraced all phenomena of the universe, allowing one to integrate anything into oneself. In other cases, even if someone mastered the Earth Spirit Artistic Conception of the Five Elements, they would hardly be able to grasp the intricacies of the Mysterious Primordial Earth Formation without three to five years of effort.

However, figuring out the Mysterious Primordial Earth Formation also meant that Chen Mu wouldn't gain much Experience Points from contemplating this Formation afterward. So, in his free time, he stood on the city walls, sensing the sandstorm phenomenon.

"Chen Protector! Support is requested at the northern twenty-seventh fortification!"

Suddenly, a communication officer came running hastily to report to Chen Mu.

"Hmm."

Chen Mu's gaze remained fixed on the sandstorms in the distance, but in the next moment, his entire figure abruptly vanished from where he stood. With one stride spanning twenty to thirty yards, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

...

Northern twenty-seventh fortification.

On the Yunlu Wall right in front of the fortification, many armored soldiers holding spears stood at the top. Among them were numerous Spirit Profound Peak disciples and two Stewards of Spirit Profound Peak, all with solemn expressions.

In front of these people, a wave of rolling dust approached, already not far away, accompanied by a frightening divine might that seemed to turn even Martial Artists into mere ants in the face of such natural phenomena, with no power to resist.

Within the dust,

One could vaguely make out numerous monsters of various kinds.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"So many monsters..."

Shen Lin held her sword, her eyes full of concern as she watched the sandstorm, saying, "There are at least two or three Fifth Rank beasts, and there might be even more inside. This is going to be tricky."

She wasn't confident she could handle a single Fifth Rank beast alone, as even a struggle would be difficult. Although two Stewards had arrived in time, facing this wave of assault without a Sixth Viscera Realm protector at the helm still left her feeling uneasy.

Linghu Shang, standing beside her, whispered, "Reinforcements have been requested. We're not very far from the command center. As long as the protectors there haven't all departed, they should definitely make it in time."

"Hopefully... Hm?"

Before Shen Lin could finish her sentence, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye—far in the distance, a figure traveled along the Yunlu Wall. One moment it was at a great distance, and the next, it had already arrived nearby. With another flash, the figure appeared in front of everyone.

Linghu Shang was quick to react, immediately saluting the newcomer, "Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen."

Shen Lin also quickly recovered, blushing slightly as she offered her respects.

Had Chen Mu come so swiftly because he knew she was at the northern twenty-seventh fortification?

"In times of crisis, there's no need for such courtesy."

Chen Mu spoke calmly, seemingly unfazed by Shen Lin's reaction. He had lived in the Spirit Profound Peak for a year and a half, and it was not the first time a junior sister had blushed or stumbled over her words upon seeing him; he was quite accustomed to it.

In the past, he was just an obscure figure from a small place, or someone who carried the identity of a high-ranking official, wherever he went, he was treated with more fear than respect. But in a place like the Seven Profound Sect, which leaned more toward the Martial World, him being an exceptional true disciple, not only talented but also vibrant and spirited, it would be unreasonable if there weren't a few junior sisters who adored him.

"They're here!"

Almost simultaneously, a Spirit Profound Peak Steward spoke sharply.

As the words fell, the rolling dust had reached below the Yunlu Wall and soon surged upward, submerging the entire fortification in sand. With the storm came countless monsters climbing up the Yunlu Wall.

The Yunlu Wall was about a hundred yards high, not something one could easily leap onto. Even Chen Mu at full power could leap only several dozen yards in a straight line, and leaping higher was even harder.
