Da Xuan Martial Saint

Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster, if relying on the power of Xun Wind Artistic Conception to ride the wind and escape into the void, can only barely manage to stay afloat in the air, with a speed even slower than a flying bird. However, Qin Mengjun took him with her, and in almost an instant, they arrived at a thousand zhang high in the sky.

Of course, he was also clear that even if he reached the Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster level, he would find it difficult to achieve the same feat using the Strength of Qian Heaven, because what Qin Mengjun had accomplished was nearly a complete isolation of the Power of Kun Earth within the surrounding area.

This is the Martial Arts Domain!

Within a certain range, it allowed almost absolute control over The Power of Heaven and Earth!

In a blink.

Qin Mengjun carried Chen Mu, breaking through the layer of clouds, and descended upon a vast Cloud Sea. Then with a release of her hand and a flick of her sleeve, the Cloud Sea beneath, covering an area of almost a hundred zhang, suddenly turned turbulent and solidified into substance.

Chen Mu landed atop the clouds, actually within the Cloud Sea. Without the need for Qin Mengjun's help, he could now linger here, for with the presence of the mist, it was like being in a sandstorm, having something to rely on; he could manage a temporary flight, but it was impossible for him to, as casually as Qin Mengjun, turn an area of a hundred zhang of the Cloud Sea into a solid footing with a mere wave of the hand.

"So-called Domain, is when the Artistic Conception is cultivated to the second step's limit and then half a step further is taken, reaching a certain height," Qin Mengjun began to explain, "you know the third step of Artistic Conception is 'Body-Mind Union,' then this Domain is actually just the 'Heart Unity' half completed, without achieving the 'Body Unity' half."

Qin Mengjun floated above the Cloud Sea, her light garment fluttering, her delicate feet like warm White Jade faintly visible within the mists, her whole being no longer seemed like a mortal Martial Artist, but rather a celestial from the Heavenly Palace, as she started speaking in a serene tone.

Chen Mu listened to Qin Mengjun's words and nodded slightly.

The third step of Artistic Conception, Body-Mind Union, where the body is the physique of Martial Arts, and the heart is the Martial Arts Artistic Conception. Only by merging body and mind into one, can one's power return to oneself and thus reach the true third step. This is impossible to achieve before 'Blood Exchange.'

Before entering the Eighth Realm of the Body Tempering Method and undergoing Blood Exchange, the highest level that Martial Artist's Artistic Conception can be cultivated to is Domain.

"The heart merges with heaven and earth; this heart is both Artistic Conception and willpower, and both are indispensable. Artistic Conception supports you to step into that height, while willpower allows you to maintain yourself in that Realm without falling," she further explained.

"Once you grasp your very own Martial Arts Domain, then according to the strength of your will, there will be a range exclusive to you. Within this range, The Power of Heaven and Earth is almost completely under your control, and the closer it is to you, the stronger it becomes."

Qin Mengjun explained to Chen Mu, and then said, "You can now try it out, walk towards me, unleash your Qiankun Artistic Conception, and see how far you can go."

Having said so,

she gracefully backed away dozens of zhang, watching Chen Mu from a distance.

"Yes," he replied.

Chen Mu bowed to Qin Mengjun, this being his first time, thus he was very serious.

The Qian Heaven Domain also belongs to one of the extremely strong Domains; he would inevitably deal with various Martial Arts Domains in the future. The deeper understanding he could gain from Qin Mengjun now, the more experienced he would be in handling things later on.

At that moment,

Chen Mu could feel that, straight in front of him, within a range of approximately forty to fifty zhang centering on Qin Mengjun herself, The Power of Heaven and Earth within that area had changed. It seemed as if the rotation of the Qiankun Eight Phases had been completely halted, leaving solely Qian Heaven!

Without much hesitation, he took a deep breath and took a step forward, stepping into the edge of the Qian Heaven Domain.

In that very instant,

it was as if heaven and earth changed colors!

Though that step seemed uneventful, and the Cloud Sea remained calm, for Chen Mu, it felt as though he had stepped from stable land straight into terrifying tumultuous waves.

He could feel that The Power of Heaven and Earth, which he could usually control with ease, was either directly blocked or had become completely chaotic and difficult to control, and the entire area seemed pervaded by a will vastly different from his own. This will merged within the Domain spanning dozens of zhang, hindering his manipulation of The Power of Heaven and Earth at every moment.

"So this is a Domain..."

Chen Mu's gaze suddenly became intense, revealing an extremely solemn expression.

It was worth mentioning that he had only just squeezed into the edge of Qin Mengjun's domain, and the pressure he was feeling at that time was already formidable. He felt that all the power of heaven and earth around him, except for Qian Heaven, was greatly weakened.

It was like being in the depths of a desert, barely able to sense the presence of 'Kan Water,' and the situation he was facing now was even more severe than that, with 'Kan Water,' 'Gen Mountain,' and even 'Kun Earth' nearly severed.

Fortunately.

He himself had developed Qiankun, and the strength of Qian Heaven was also within his control.

Therefore, Chen Mu calmed his heart at that moment and forcefully controlled the Qian Heaven forces swirling around his body. Then, facing the direction of Qin Mengjun, he stepped deeper into the domain, moving closer to her.

One inch,

Two inches,

Three inches,

...

The deeper he went, the more intense the oppression from Qian Heaven became, comparable to the summit of Yunni Sky Peak, and it continued to strengthen as he moved further in.

Chen Mu also had the desire to delve deeper into the power of the Martial Arts Domain. Feeling the oppression getting stronger and having difficulty advancing even an inch further, he took a deep breath and said to Qin Mengjun, "Disciple has overstepped."

As his words fell,

He raised his left hand in a gesture and waved his right hand, and in an instant, the winds and clouds around his body changed. The surging oppressive strength of Qian Heaven, under his guidance, turned into a tangible cycle. In a flash around his body, eight different colors were differentiated, each blending with the next, forming a visible seal.

Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal!

Even now, while still on the edge of the Qian Heaven Domain, Chen Mu was almost unable to contend with Qin Mengjun for the control of the strength of Qian Heaven. The other elemental powers were blocked, and only by executing the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal and the rotation of the Eight Phases could he forcibly transform Qian Heaven into the Eight Phases!

After deploying the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, the surrounding Qian Heaven strength flowed incessantly through the Qiankun Cycle, turning into a recurrent Eight Phases, ultimately reducing the pressure Chen Mu felt significantly.

"Qiankun Artistic Conception, Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal."

Qin Mengjun stood with her hands behind her back, watching Chen Mu from afar. Her red lips parted slightly, and she spoke softly.

The Martial Arts Artistic Conception involves principles of creation and restraint. At the domain level, the influence of these principles not only doesn't diminish, it often becomes even greater, but the master of Qiankun Artistic Conception is not affected by any such influence.

Moreover, the rotation of Qiankun encompasses everything. Although Chen Mu's Qiankun Artistic Conception has not reached the level of a domain, it is very difficult for any Martial Arts Domain to absolutely suppress him, and he can always withstand some of it.

However...

How did his own disciple's Qiankun Artistic Conception reach this extent?

Although it was not at the extreme limit of the second step, it was far from just a simple entrance into the second step, including the intensity of the Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal—probably at least at the Fourth Layer, and possibly even at the Fifth Layer.

Could it be that time hadn't just passed by more than a year, but three or five years had gone by?

Qin Mengjun was momentarily puzzled.
