Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 703 - 397: Crossing the Sea
Chapter 703: Chapter 397: Crossing the Sea
“We have invited all of you here, and I believe most of you are already aware of the situation at hand. However, to ensure that none of our friends who have traveled from afar are uninformed, I will provide some additional details.”
After everyone had finished their spiritual tea, the Dragonwood Island Master began to speak in an even tone, his voice echoing throughout the space.
“Xunmu Cave Heaven is a unique place; it isn’t actually located within the Da Xuan World, nor is it within the Outer Sea. It is merely a layer of Void away, extremely close to our world.”
“Usually, the repulsion between this cave heaven and the Outer Sea is incredibly strong. Even if you break through that layer of Void, you cannot forcibly enter it. Anyone who tries will be torn apart by the Void Force between Xunmu Cave Heaven and the Outer Sea.”
“Only during specific periods of turbulence is it possible to penetrate the boundary of Xunmu Cave Heaven and enter it.”
The Dragonwood Island Master laid out the general situation.
Chen Mu had already learned most of this information from the Hehuan Sect and Yan Hong; for instance, why the exploration of Xunmu Cave Heaven was limited to around three months. This was due to the tides and disturbances in the Void of Xunmu Cave Heaven during this period, which consisted of two separate phases: ‘High Tide’ and ‘Ebb.’
During High Tide, those in the Blood Exchange Realm could break through the Void, creating a passage to Xunmu Cave Heaven, and send Grandmasters of the Marrow Cleansing Realm inside. This process did not last long, followed by a stable period of three months.
About three months later, the Void in Xunmu Cave Heaven would become turbulent again, marking the ‘Ebb.’ At this point, those in the Blood Exchange Realm could once again penetrate the Void, guiding everyone back from Xunmu Cave Heaven.
Aside from these two unique moments, even the highest-ranking masters at the Celestial Human Level could not forcibly break through the barrier and enter Xunmu Cave Heaven. After all, it is a genuinely large-scale Cave Heaven with its own Void boundary forces that are beyond human resistance.

“… We should not delay. Now that you all are aware of the general situation, those who are unwilling may stay here. Anyone eager to explore Xunmu Cave Heaven may accompany me to the ‘Ruins Sea’ now.”
After summarizing the situation, the Dragonwood Island Master then spoke indifferently.
By this time, Chen Mu had understood; the information provided by the Dragonwood Island Master was already known to those present, essentially being redundant. Its real significance was akin to a ‘disclaimer.’
After all, the hundreds of Grandmasters present came from various sectors of the Da Xuan Dynasty and even beyond, from the Outer Sea. Many of them represented Great Sects, and there were even individuals like Yan Hong from the Imperial Court’s Royal Family, with profound backgrounds. Even with Tingchao Cliff’s exalted status, it could not afford to offend so many influential powers. Therefore, the intent behind his words was to convey that participation was entirely voluntary: he, the Dragonwood Island Master, would only lead the way and guide, taking no further responsibility.
Of course.
The Grandmasters who had come here were far from inexperienced young heroes. Decisions had been made long before arriving, and upon hearing the Dragonwood Island Master’s words, most maintained a calm demeanor, and a silent hush fell over the assembly.
Seeing this, the Dragonwood Island Master finally showed a slight smile and said:
“Since that is the case, then please follow me.”
As his words fell.
The Dragonwood Island Master began to walk away from the towering Dragonwood’s trunk, heading towards the distance.
The many Grandmasters exchanged glances, then all set out in pursuit of the Dragonwood Island Master. The procession of over a hundred Grandmasters was impressive; and although most restrained their auras, having so many Grandmasters moving together still caused the Power of Heaven and Earth to stir continuously, exerting a pressing force that left the island’s inhabitants awestruck and silent.
As people began to follow the Dragonwood Island Master out of the island, another group joined the ranks without a sound—a group clad in the broad robes of Tingchao Cliff, unmistakably Grandmasters from Tingchao Cliff. They numbered nearly thirty, almost the largest contingent among those present!
“The force of Tingchao Cliff is indeed extraordinary.”
Chen Mu’s gaze swept over the many Grandmasters from Tingchao Cliff and he muttered internally.
Seven Profound Sect had exhausted its resources to send about twenty Grandmasters, many of whom, like Murong Yan, were not Grandmasters but simply had strength comparable to one.
For this expedition to Xunmu Cave Heaven, Tingchao Cliff had dispatched as many as thirty Grandmasters, none of whom were likely to be weak. Almost all were on par with the likes of Feng Hongsheng, with at least four or five being of top-notch caliber.
Such manpower was something that two or three major sects from the Cold North could not muster even if they joined forces.
“Tingchao Cliff’s thousands of years of heritage, even longer than the history of the Da Xuan Dynasty, surely has its foundations,” Liu Qingyan remarked nonchalantly, walking not far from Chen Mu. Seemingly perceiving his thoughts, she unintentionally said, “They are much more formidable than any sect in the Da Xuan World. The only force within the Da Xuan World stronger than these three major Outer Sea sects is the Imperial Court itself.”
“Hmm.”
Chen Mu nodded slightly.
The bottomless depths of sects like Tingchao Cliff and the others from the Outer Sea were profound, but the Da Xuan Dynasty Court was no less so. Even amidst internal strife and a near state of disunion, it remained unfathomable, unmatched by any individual sect.
At least for Chen Mu at present, facing the Da Xuan Dynasty Court, he was still not in a position to look down upon it.
