Chapter 272: Iron Hand Group_2
Actually, the efficiency has become astonishingly fast!
It only took Chen Mu seven or eight months from the moment he stepped into the Six Viscera Realm!
One must know that many martial artists in the Six Viscera Realm, after practicing for five or six years, may only achieve around seventy to eighty percent of the solidifying refinement level, and this level even preliminarily possesses the qualifications to assault the Mysterious Pass and attempt to step into the Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm!
But for Chen Mu, he certainly would not stop there, let alone assault the Mysterious Pass with little chance of breaking through. Even if there was a chance to break through, he would not attempt it now because what seems to be an unattainable extreme tempering of the Six Viscera Realm for ordinary people, for him, if he had enough resources, he could easily achieve it.
"This kind of top-down corruption, no wonder Yan Jingqing can't handle it," Chen Mu sighed while flipping through the intelligence reports.
The vicious forces without any background had basically been eradicated long ago. Whether it was the government or many disciples of the Seven Profound Sect descending the mountain to temper themselves, they might take the opportunity to strike at those forces. But for these major forces that have been entrenched in Yu State for years and are notoriously vicious, behind them, there are shadows of the six major families of Yu State and even some senior forces of the Seven Profound Sect.
In such a situation, even if Yan Jingqing is full of integrity, what could he do?
He might be able to take down one Iron Hand Gang, but he cannot destroy ten Iron Hand Gangs. Once he incurs public outrage and dissatisfaction from all sides in Yu State, even if he is a master on the Wind Cloud List, it would be too much to withstand. Even if he is not afraid himself, he must consider the Yan Family and thus cannot act recklessly.
Actually, for grandmasters like Feng Hongsheng and Qin Mengjun, they have each developed a martial arts will and spirit; it is unlikely for them to be directly involved in sheltering such evil forces. But unavoidably, they have clans behind them.
Because of their existence, there are Feng Family and Qin Family.
And because of the existence of Feng Family and Qin Family, there are even lower levels of government officials, and even chaotic gangs at the grassroots level. This multi-layered structure is an indissoluble chain. Even if a grandmaster wants to resolve it, they cannot do it alone.
Perhaps Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion is somewhat right in thinking that to stabilize a chaotic world, one must rebuild everything from scratch, including the decrepit Seven Profound Sect. In this process, they do not hesitate to use any means necessary.
However,
Chen Mu agrees with some of Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion's views, yet does not support their actions because if this world ultimatley needs to be rebuilt, then the hand to extend that change... will only be his.
Of course, thinking about this now is still too far off. Chen Mu's philosophy has never been about stabilizing the chaotic world but to be fearless in his heart. Thus, when looking through the intelligence on various forces, Chen Mu is not interested in trying to change the layout.
What he wants is only resources.
These forces are just suitable for him, casually snuffing out two or three of them is also guilt-free.
As for these forces, whichever family they are linked to, whichever Seven Profound Sect Elder they are associated with, he does not care. His purpose has always been very clear: before his own strength is strong enough, all actions are for increasing his strength.
"Nowadays, on the Wind Cloud List, aside from the top three, there should hardly be any contenders left for me. Just not sure if facing a grandmaster like Fu Jingyuan, whether I could withstand one or two moves. Perhaps there's still a gap," Chen Mu shook his head slightly.
Five months later, not only had his Six Viscera Tempering reached 72%, but his Qiankun Artistic Conception had also advanced another small step, completing the fifth extrapolation and getting closer to the second step's limit.
Additionally, the technique Falling Flowers without Trace had also been practiced to the second layer. When used in conjunction with Qiankun Artistic Conception and Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, it was getting closer to the Martial Arts Domain, and his ability to solidify power had further improved.
Now, with the Artistic Conception at full capacity, he could mobilize around thirty-four to thirty-five parts of The Power of Heaven and Earth, and the amount of Yuan Gang True Essence was comparable, adding up to about seventy parts!
In terms of quantity, compared to a Third Tier grandmaster like Fu Jingyuan, he was not much different.
However, the opponent's unity of inner and outer elements, a perfected Martial Body coupled with Martial Arts Domain, makes their power solidification much stronger than his, not on the same level. Therefore, facing such existences, he could still only flee and not contend.
But the increase in strength is real, and overall, he feels much more confident.
Perhaps,
once his Artistic Conception's strength is further raised, and the Six Viscera Tempering is closer to the limit, he will be able to create a 'quantitative' gap. At that time, using quantity to overcome others, even without a Domain and Martial Body, he might still be able to defeat those Third Tier grandmasters!
"Then, let's start with the Iron Hand Gang," Chen Mu's gaze rested lightly on the intelligence information on paper.
The information on the Iron Hand Gang was the most vague, not even knowing which family of Yu State stood behind it. But to him, this was even better. Even if after attacking, it attracted a grandmaster from the Seven Profound Sect, he could easily deny knowledge and they couldn't do anything to him.
Moreover, with his current methods, although he seldom engages in assassination anymore, if he really learned from the Blood Hidden Pavilion's approach, distinguishing who was the real perpetrator would be no easy feat.
Gathering the intelligence,
Chen Mu quietly opened a box stored under the bed, took out a set of travel clothes from the bottom of the box, changed into them, and then silently left the house.
