The First Marquis of Daxuan

"Didn't I already tell you my name? Ning Hongchen."

Ning Hongchen shrugged and said, "A hermit in the mountains who cultivates alone."

"So? I've been honest enough, haven't I?"

Su Mu snorted coldly.

How could a hermit in the mountains, who cultivates alone, reach such a level of mastery?
Su Mu has just discovered that Ning Hongchen is definitely a powerful expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm.

The outer realms are forbidden zones of destiny. Besides Su Mu, there is actually a second person in the Destiny Realm who can move freely in the outer realms. Just thinking about it, it's obvious that Ning Hongchen's background is definitely not that simple.

"Since you're not going to explain yourself, then put down the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon, and I'll make an exception and let you leave this time."

Su Mu said coldly.

"Ugh--"

Ning Hongchen sighed, "I took the Heavenly Weapon for your own good, how can you be so ungrateful?"

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Su Mu said, "Even if it's just an avatar, cultivation is still not easy."

Su Mu spoke calmly, but the threat in his words was undisguised.

Cultivating a clone is not easy, and if it is destroyed, the loss will be considerable.

He was clearly telling Ning Hongchen that if he didn't relinquish the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon, his clone would die.

In fact, Su Mu was not sure whether the Ning Hongchen in front of him was the real body or an avatar.

However, based on previous experience, Ning Hongchen's strength is unfathomable, but his courage is surprisingly small. Nine times out of ten, the Ning Hongchen in front of him is also an avatar, not his true self, just like before.

Su Mu secretly admired Ning Hongchen, wondering what his background was and how many clones he had cultivated.

He had killed two of them before, and now another one has appeared.

The key point is that each and every one of these clones is incredibly powerful.

If he had more clones, he alone would be comparable to a major power.

Su Mu greatly admired this ability to create an avatar.

Although Su Mu was proficient in many methods, he did not know how to refine an external avatar. To be honest, he only had a Myriad Manifestations Golden Body condensed from incense and the power of wishes.

The Myriad Manifestations Golden Body is far less agile and powerful than Ning Hongchen's clone.

Ning Hongchen set his sights on Su Mu's Heavenly Weapon, unaware that Su Mu was also eyeing his method of creating an avatar.

The two, each with their own ulterior motives, stood facing each other, neither making the first move.

"Ning Hongchen, my patience is limited. Don't force me to kill you."

Su Mu said coldly.

"How can someone so young have such a bloodthirsty nature?"

Ning Hongchen sighed and said, "Unless you agree to cooperate with me, I will not give you the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon."

Even if you kill me, I won't give it to you.

I'm not afraid to tell you that I've already moved those divine weapons of destiny away, and even if you kill me, I won't be able to find them.

"If you want to know the secrets of the seventy-two Heavenly Weapons, then I'm sorry, you'll have to cooperate with me."

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

Su Mu let out a cold shout and took a step forward.

"Would you like to hear how I'd like to cooperate with you first?"

Ning Hongchen said.

"That's not necessary."

Before Su Mu could finish speaking, he had already lunged forward and punched Ning Hongchen.

He won't speak obediently unless you beat him into submission first.

Ning Hongchen let out a strange cry and threw a punch directly.

boom!
The two fists collided, producing a deafening sound. The force was released, and cracks appeared in the surrounding space.

Ning Hongchen took two steps back.

Su Mu swayed slightly and took a half step back.

"amazing!"

Ning Hongchen exclaimed in admiration.

"and many more!"

Seeing Su Mu relentlessly throw another punch, Ning Hongchen quickly shouted.

call!
A strong wind blew through his hair.

Su Mu's fist stopped when it was only half a foot away from Ning Hongchen's face, and the wind from the punch made the muscles on Ning Hongchen's face twitch.

Ning Hongchen's eyes were full of calmness, as if he was certain that Su Mu would stop.

Since he didn't dodge or flinch, if he made the wrong bet, Su Mu could smash his head to pieces with a single punch.

Fortunately, he won his gamble.

Su Mu's fist did indeed stop.

A smile appeared on Ning Hongchen's lips, as if he had succeeded in his scheme.

“I knew you wouldn’t easily give up the secret of the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny.”

Ning Hongchen said with a smile.

"If you keep spouting this nonsense, next time I won't hold back."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Young people shouldn't be so aggressive."

Ning Hongchen smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to sit down and have a chat?"

He lightly dusted off his clothes and sat down opposite Su Mu with an air of nonchalance.

Su Mu looked at Ning Hongchen. The reason he held back was twofold: first, he wanted Ning Hongchen's ability to create an avatar; second, he was very curious about Ning Hongchen's background.

He first met Ning Hongchen because of the Luo Mo Heavenly Silkworm.

However, judging from various clues, the person who helped Zhang Zhuoxing back then and passed on the teleportation array diagram should be him.

What is the purpose of a person who possesses the teleportation array diagram and whose cultivation is unfathomable, hiding in the outer realm?

Su Mu didn't think Ning Hongchen was incapable of setting up a teleportation array.

In other words, Ning Hongchen, like him, possesses the ability to freely travel between the outer realms and the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Moreover, Ning Hongchen possessed this ability earlier than him.

Furthermore, Ning Hongchen, despite possessing the cultivation level of the Heavenly Fate Realm, was unaffected by the Heavenly Fate Forbidden Zone of the Outer Domain.

All of these factors combined indicate that Ning Hongchen's background is extraordinary.

Another very important point is that, as far as Su Mu knows, among the famous Heavenly Fate Realm experts in the Taixu Sacred Realm, there is no one named Ning Hongchen.

Of course, this cannot be ruled out that it is because Ji Yu'an is inexperienced.

Su Mu's understanding of the Taixu Sacred Realm mostly came from Ji Yu'an, who was not considered a top expert in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

In the past, Su Mu would have kept his distance from these secrets.

He knew that without sufficient strength, venturing into some hidden matters would be tantamount to courting death.

However, Su Mu now has some confidence.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to collect all seventy-two divine weapons of destiny so quickly."

Ning Hongchen looked at Su Mu and said slowly, "However, this is not a good thing for you."

The secrets hidden within the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny are far too early for you to grasp; they will plunge you into utter ruin.

"This water is too deep for me to handle, so you have to handle it for me?"

Su Mu gave a cold laugh and said.

Ning Hongchen was taken aback and blinked. Why did those words sound so awkward?
Su Mu, that hermaphrodite, actually has some skills.

"Do you think those tomb guardians can stop me if I really want the divine weapon of destiny?"

Ning Hongchen pursed his lips and said, "Don't think that everyone cares so much about the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny."

At least, I don't care.

"If you didn't care, why did you steal my Heavenly Weapon?"

Su Mu countered with a question.

"I told you, I'm saving you."

Ning Hongchen said, "The seventy-two Heavenly Weapons are like a box. Once opened, the consequences will be endless."

I saw that you were young and promising, a person with potential, so I couldn't bear to see you step into this vortex.

You just don't appreciate kindness.

"You just said you wanted to make a deal with me, and now you're saying it's to help me. Should I believe your lies?"

Su Mu snorted coldly.

You can't just believe what old guys like Ning Hongchen say. They have no sense of morality and will say anything.

Time will prove me right.

Ning Hongchen pointed to the sky and said, "The deal I want to make with you is different from what you're thinking."

It has some connection to the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny, but not a significant one.

"No nonsense."

Su Mu said impatiently.

"Ok."

Ning Hongchen shrugged and said, "You can't grasp the secrets of the seventy-two Heavenly Weapons yet, so I can't give you these Heavenly Weapons for the time being."

As compensation, I can give you a big gift.

"This is the deal you were talking about?"

Su Mu sneered, "Forced sale?"
"If I can't catch up with you, will you just take my divine weapon?"

"You can interpret it however you like, but in short, you can't take these divine weapons back. Even if you kill me, I can't take them back."

Ning Hongchen, with a thick skin, said, "Look at it from another angle. Since you can't get the Heavenly Weapon back anyway, every little bit of loss we can recover is a loss, isn't it?"

Su Mu remained noncommittal.

"Of course, this is just my sincerity, not a real deal."

Ning Hongchen continued, "The real deal is that I would like to ask you to help me forge a weapon."

Su Mu looked at him quietly, still not saying a word.

"The fact that your counterfeit Heavenly Weapon could fool Tian Cangchen proves that your Qiankun Creation Technique has at least reached the Great Perfection level."

Even with mastery of the Qiankun Creation Technique, I could barely manage to refine it.

Su Mu looked at Ning Hongchen with a half-smile.

What makes you think I'd help you?

Su Mu said calmly.

"why not?"

Ning Hongchen said matter-of-factly, "First of all, you and I are not enemies."

Secondly, I'm not asking you to help for nothing; I'll definitely make you happy by adding money.

Why not make money if you can?

"Since you know that my Qiankun Creation Technique has been perfected, then you should know what price a weapon forger of my level would charge."

Su Mu said calmly.

Although Ning Hongchen was somewhat despicable, there was some truth to what he said.

If you have money, why not make it?

"I told you, the price will definitely satisfy you."

Ning Hongchen said.

"Talk about it."

Su Mudao.

Ning Hongchen covered up the matter of the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny with just a few words.

Su Mu naturally noticed it as well, but he didn't dwell on it.

Let Ning Hongchen keep those divine weapons of destiny that he stole for now; he can take them back when needed.

Su Mu actually had a premonition that the secret of the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny was not yet ready to be revealed.

He had a sense of danger when he activated the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny.

Now it seems that this sense of danger was not brought about by Ning Hongchen.

That means the danger lies in the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny themselves.

It's not too late to wait and unravel the secrets of the seventy-two divine weapons.

Let's get our hands on Ning Hongchen's avatar technique first.

This was Su Mu's inner thought.

"Overall, my weapon is on the same level as the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon."

Ning Hongchen said, "I can give you three portions of the materials needed to refine it."

Whether you use one part or three parts to refine it, I don't care.

Whatever materials are left is my payment to you.

In addition, I will give you rare and precious materials worth the equivalent of a million high-grade spirit stones.

The materials required to forge a weapon of divine destiny level are an astronomical number when converted into spirit stones.

Three materials, but only one weapon.

If Su Mu's methods are skillful enough, he could easily leave behind two sets of materials.

Generally speaking, the rule for asking a weaponsmith to make a weapon is to use 50% of the materials as payment.

Ning Hongchen was incredibly generous in providing the two sets of materials.

As for the million high-grade spirit stones, while they may seem like a lot to ordinary martial artists, they are merely an extra in this transaction.

Su Mu looked at Ning Hongchen and slowly said, "Not enough."

"not enough?"

Ning Hongchen frowned. "Even the one who created the Qiankun Creation Method back then didn't pay more than this price. You say it's not enough?"

Young man, don't have too big an appetite!

Although he is rich, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

The price he offered for forging a weapon of divine destiny level was already high enough.

"If I say it's not enough, then it's not enough."

Su Mu said calmly, "Unless you can find a second weapon-forging master who understands the Qiankun Creation Method."

Now it's your turn to beg me, not the other way around.

Therefore, I should set the price.

"Then tell me, how many do you want?"

Ning Hongchen suppressed his anger and said.

"Your Incarnation Technique."

Su Mu looked at Ning Hongchen and slowly spoke.

"My avatar technique?"

Ning Hongchen narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but laugh.

"You really have a big appetite! Aren't you afraid of overeating?" "Don't worry about that. I've always had a big appetite, and I haven't died from overeating yet."

Su Mu said calmly.

"very good."

Ning Hongchen stared at Su Mu for several breaths before speaking again, "I can give you the Body Avatar Technique, but I'm not responsible for whether you can master it."

"nature."

Su Mu nodded and said.

He had actually prepared to argue with Ning Hongchen several times, but he didn't expect Ning Hongchen to agree so easily.

It seems that the weapon Ning Hongchen wants to forge must be very important to him.

It was so important that Ning Hongchen didn't even bother to haggle.

What kind of weapon do you want to forge?

Su Mu asked.

The Body Avatar Technique, two sets of materials, plus a million high-grade spirit stones—this deal is done.

However, all of this depends on the premise that Ning Hongchen can forge the weapon he wants.

Ning Hongchen flipped his wrist, and a scroll appeared in his hand.

He held the scroll in one hand and with the other hand flicked it open.

The yellowed paper was densely covered with text, interspersed with some finely drawn pictures, which turned out to be a secret recipe for forging weapons.

Su Mu quickly scanned the weapon-forging formula, his brows furrowing.

Su Mu frowned, not because the weapons recorded in the weapon-forging formula were too difficult to forge, but because they were too simple.

He originally thought that since Ning Hongchen had gone to such great lengths and even paid such a high price to ask him to forge a weapon, it must be one that was extremely difficult to forge.

But now it seems that the method of forging this weapon is not too complicated.

"What? No?"

Ning Hongchen said, "That shouldn't be the case. With the Qiankun Creation Technique fully mastered, it should be able to refine it."

Seeing Ning Hongchen's puzzled expression, Su Mu suddenly realized something.

It turns out that, without realizing it, his skill in weapon forging had already reached such a high level.

It wasn't that the method of forging this weapon was easy, but rather that his weapon-making skills far exceeded what was required to forge it.

His weapon-forging skills were greatly honed during the forging of those counterfeit divine weapons.

So even he himself didn't realize that his weapon-making skills had reached this level.

His current skill in weapon forging is only one step away from reaching perfection in the Qiankun Creation Method.

In fact, if he helps Ning Hongchen forge this weapon, he might be able to take the final step and achieve perfection in the Qiankun Creation Technique!
Ning Hongchen, however, gave him an opportunity.

"a bit difficult."

Su Mu said without changing his expression.

Just as Ning Hongchen thought Su Mu was going to ask for more money, Su Mu continued speaking.

"But it can be resolved. Pay first, and come back to me to collect it a year later."

"it is good!"

Ning Hongchen answered without hesitation. He was already prepared for Su Mu to ask for an exorbitant amount again, so since Su Mu hadn't asked for more money, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Swish!
Ning Hongchen simply tossed a storage ring to Su Mu.

"These are the materials needed to forge weapons, and each material is three times the amount required by the recipe."

Ning Hongchen said, "The other materials are worth at least as much as a million high-grade spirit stones."

Say it.

He then took out a jade pendant and placed it between his eyebrows.

A flash of white light appeared, and he had already tossed the jade token to Su Mu.

"This is the external avatar technique I have cultivated."

Ning Hongchen said, "To be honest, this technique isn't as good as it looks. Whether you want to cultivate it or not is up to you."

After saying that, Ning Hongchen tossed the scroll containing the weapon-forging secrets to Su Mu, then soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of light.

Ning Hongchen walked very fast, as if she was afraid that Su Mu would change his mind.

He didn't even give Su Mu another chance to mention the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon.

Su Mu reached out and grasped the scroll, a contemptuous smile on his face.

"Those divine weapons of destiny will remain in your hands for now. I will retrieve them from you once I return from the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet."

Su Mu thought to himself.

To be honest, Su Mu wasn't that eager to acquire the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Instead of chasing after things that are shrouded in mystery, it's better to focus on what you have at hand.

"The reason why the seventy-two divine weapons of destiny are so precious is that there is a mysterious connection between them."

A single Heavenly Weapon, though valuable, is nothing special to a Heavenly Fate Realm expert.

Ning Hongchen is no ordinary Heavenly Fate Realm expert, so why would he be willing to pay such a high price to forge this weapon?

Su Mu did not rush to look through the materials in the storage ring or the avatar technique in the jade tablet. Instead, he opened the scroll again.

"Is there something strange about this weapon?"

Su Mu opened the scroll and began to examine it carefully.

He had only focused on the difficulty of forging the weapon earlier, but now he was beginning to consider its purpose.

"Thousand Machine Stick"

Su Mu muttered to himself, "A thousand machines, a hundred transformations, can change into many different forms to deal with complex battle situations."

The designer's idea is ingenious; it would be perfect for a martial artist proficient in all eighteen weapons.

In its staff-like form, it weighs a hefty 18,000 jin (approximately 9,000 kg), making it ideal for body-training martial artists to unleash their power.

Ning Hongchen's external avatar possesses a powerful physical body, so his true body should be equally formidable. Therefore, using the Thousand-Mechanism Staff is quite fitting.

Su Mu analyzed.

The Thousand Machine Staff is an excellent weapon; in terms of power alone, it is no less powerful than any divine weapon of destiny.

But that's about it.

For a powerful figure like Ning Hongchen, the Thousand Machine Staff could certainly enhance his combat power, but the enhancement was quite limited.

For martial artists who pursue the path of physical immortality, their bodies are their best weapons.

Their physical bodies are harder than divine weapons, so even if they are unarmed, it doesn't affect them much.

In a sense, Ning Hongchen doesn't need weapons at all.

"Could it be to distract me from the Heavenly Weapon?"

Su Mu frowned and pondered, "But he only stole a dozen or so divine weapons of destiny, which is not enough to unravel the secrets of the Seventy-Two Thieves. Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"

This is exactly what Su Mu couldn't understand.

The external avatar technique, three sets of materials, and a million high-grade spirit stones add up to a considerable sum, even for a powerhouse like Ning Hongchen.

He must have had his own purpose in paying such a high price.

"Or perhaps Ning Hongchen is preparing to fight against a powerful opponent, so he's unwilling to let go of even the slightest opportunity to increase his combat strength?"

Su Mu pondered.

There is definitely no one in the outer realms who can command such attention from Ning Hongchen, not even Su Mu.

Therefore, Ning Hongchen's only opponent is in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

"Ning Hongchen's origins are shrouded in mystery; who knows what enemies he might have in the Taixu Sacred Realm?"

Su Mu sighed and stopped dwelling on the issue.

Whatever Ning Hongchen's purpose in forging the Thousand Machine Staff, as long as it's not used against him, it's fine.

Su Mu put away the weapon-forging secret formula, and then picked up the jade tablet that recorded the Body Incarnation Technique.

Su Mu had personally witnessed the power of Ning Hongchen's external avatar technique.

He met Ning Hongchen three times, and each time he saw Ning Hongchen's clone.

Moreover, he had already killed Ning Hongchen's clones twice before, but it seemed that it had no effect on Ning Hongchen at all.

This is practically like having several extra lives.

Ning Hongchen's avatar looks almost identical to his real body, and in terms of both agility and strength, it far surpasses the golden body formed by incense and vows.

Su Mu is surrounded by enemies and faces numerous crises. If he can master the Body Transformation Technique, his ability to protect himself will definitely reach a new level.

Not to mention far away.

For example, when attending the Martial Ancestor's birthday banquet, he could have easily used an avatar to attend.

Su Mu's divine sense was powerful, and in the blink of an eye, he had already imprinted Ning Hongchen's external avatar technique into his mind.

"No wonder Ning Hongchen so readily handed over the Body Avatar Technique to me. So that's why."

Su Mu sneered inwardly, "He's certain that I can't master this External Avatar Technique!"

Speaking of which, this external incarnation technique is extremely strange; even Su Mu felt it was almost an evil practice.

To cultivate this external incarnation technique, one must first cultivate oneself to the point where severed limbs can regenerate.

Those who cultivate their bodies to achieve sainthood through physical cultivation possess formidable physiques and physical vitality far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists. When they reach a certain level of cultivation, even if their limbs are severed, they can regrow them.

This is limb regeneration.

Generally speaking, this realm is the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

However, some exceptionally talented individuals can also reach this level even when they are in the Heavenly Profound Realm.

Su Mu could not be considered exceptionally gifted, but his Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques had reached perfection, and he naturally possessed the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

The problem is that limb regeneration is merely the threshold for cultivating the Body Incarnation Technique.

Once you reach this level, you can cut off a part of your own body and then refine it using secret methods; this part of your body can then become an incarnation.

Because they share the same origin, this incarnation is almost identical to the original.

The only difference is that when the avatar is first formed, it is like a newborn baby, without any cultivation. If it wants to have the same strength as the original body, it has to start cultivating from scratch.

Even with past experience, it's not easy to retrace the steps of martial arts cultivation.

Any martial artist who wants to cultivate to the Heavenly Fate Realm will inevitably encounter various fortuitous events. However, such opportunities cannot always be available. Therefore, it is uncertain whether an incarnation can even achieve the Heavenly Fate Realm, let alone the difficulty.

Even if everything goes smoothly, it would still take hundreds of years or even longer for an incarnation to cultivate to the Heavenly Fate Realm.

In other words, even if one could master the technique of creating an external avatar, it would still take countless hours to create one.

Ning Hongchen's three avatars were the result of countless hours and efforts he spent cultivating.

Even if Su Mu were to master the Body Avatar Technique, Ning Hongchen believed that he wouldn't be able to create a decent avatar in a short period of time.

If the avatar's strength is insufficient, then cultivating the avatar becomes a useless practice.

It's more worthwhile to improve the cultivation of your main body than to waste time and energy cultivating your avatar.

This external avatar technique is more suitable for cultivating the avatar when the main body's cultivation has reached its peak and there is no way forward.

"An avatar, I wonder if the system panel can be applied to avatars."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Creating an avatar is not difficult; the difficulty lies in enhancing the avatar's strength.

However, for Su Mu, if the system panel could be applied to his avatar, things would be much simpler.

"Give it a try."

Su Mu was a pragmatist, and once he made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

Swish!
With a flash of white light, Su Mu's left arm had already separated from his body.

Before the blood flowed out, Su Mu had already circulated his power, causing the muscles in the wound to contract and lock the blood vessels.

Even so, Su Mu's face was pale, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

Even with Su Mu's physique, having his left arm severed would be considered a serious injury.

That pain was real, and it was genuine.

Without hesitation, Su Mu severed his own left arm. Even Ning Hongchen would have to admire his ruthlessness.

Theoretically, one can sever any part of their body by practicing the Body Incarnation Technique.

The simplest way would be to cut off a piece of a finger.

However, the larger the severed body, the easier it is to refine the avatar, and the more innate the avatar will be.

The consequence is that the damage to the body itself is also greater.

After all, even if Su Mu could regenerate severed limbs, limb regeneration still requires energy.

Even for Su Mu, such an injury would require at least six months of rest to fully recover.

Golden light shimmered around Su Mu, and his severed left arm grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the surface, he had recovered, but the loss of vital energy and blood left his face still pale.

Without hesitation, Su Mu began to refine his left arm according to the Body Avatar Technique.

As Su Mu unleashed his power, a ball of white light enveloped his left arm.

Within the white light, the mass of flesh and blood wriggled and changed.

After an unknown amount of time, that mass of flesh and blood transformed into a tiny baby.

Then the changes continued, and time seemed to speed up as the tiny baby grew.

From infancy to childhood, then to adolescence, and then to youth.

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

A sound like a bubble being popped rang out.

The white light gradually faded, and a young man appeared in front of Su Mu.

He looked exactly like Su Mu, except that his eyes were lifeless, he was just an empty shell, and there was no power in his body.

He was like another Su Mu, a Su Mu who had never practiced martial arts.

"To cultivate the Body Avatar Technique, one must not only cultivate the physical body to the point of being able to regenerate severed limbs, but also cultivate the soul to an extremely high level."

Su Mu looked at the avatar he had created and pondered in his heart.

For ordinary martial artists, cultivating their physical body to the point of regenerating severed limbs is already extremely difficult, let alone having the time and energy to cultivate their soul.

It is a well-known fact that the soul is the weakness of martial artists who pursue the path of physical immortality.

A Heavenly Fate Realm expert who follows the path of physical immortality will have a weaker soul than a Heavenly Fate Realm expert who follows the path of true essence, and will be far inferior to a Heavenly Fate Realm expert who follows the path of divine soul.

As for mastering both, that's practically impossible.

Therefore, in theory, the threshold for cultivating the Body Incarnation Technique is frighteningly high.

Su Mu thought that no one else in the world could achieve the same feat as him, having simultaneously reached the Heavenly Fate Realm in both physical martial arts and spiritual martial arts. Now it seems that Ning Hongchen has also accomplished this.

"Ning Hongchen is a formidable opponent. Fortunately, he probably doesn't know that I have also reached this level."

A glint flashed in Su Mu's pupils as his divine soul split, with a wisp of it quietly merging into his avatar.

The blank stare in his eyes immediately became lively.

Su Mu felt that his perspective had changed, as if he had gained an extra pair of eyes.

Su Mu was no stranger to this feeling; he had experienced it when he cultivated the Golden Body of Incense and Vow Power.

This incarnation is formed from his own flesh and blood, and its soul is also his own soul.

This avatar is like an extension of his body; he can control it without even thinking, and its flexibility is far superior to the golden body made of incense and vows.

Simply put, this avatar is like an arm of Su Mu. The relationship between a person and their arm is the same as the relationship between Su Mu's main body and his avatar.

"Unfortunately, this 'arm' is too fragile; even a Body Tempering Realm martial artist can't defeat it."

Su Mu thought to himself, and with a thought, he brought up the system panel. (End of this chapter)
