"Pfft."

Hua Nongyue couldn't help but burst into laughter again, the affectionate demeanor that had been present moments before instantly vanished without a trace. While laughing, she said, "I never said I was Nongying, you misunderstood on your own. You can't blame me for that."

Having said that, she straightened her expression and looked closely at Chen Mu, adding, "However, Nongying was right; you are indeed formidable. Not only have you mastered Qian Heaven, but your Martial Arts will has also forged its own path. Even if you currently can't break into the top ten of the rookie rankings, it's only because you started practicing Martial Arts late, not because you're inferior to Zhou Hao and the others."

"Given another year or two, entering the top five wouldn't be out of reach."

Chen Mu gazed at Hua Nongyue, his expression now calm. He had long heard of the sisters Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongying, who were nearly indistinguishable in appearance, so he wasn't overly surprised upon recognizing the swap between them.

The only thing that surprised him was that not only their physical appearances but even their auras were almost exactly the same. The only difference lay in the Martial Arts will they cultivated, resulting in a slightly different essence.

That is to say.

If they stood side by side without engaging in Martial Arts, the two sisters would appear as though they were one and the same person.

In Chen Mu's view, this similarity wasn't merely innate; it was also deliberately cultivated. Perhaps during their Martial Arts practice, the sisters intentionally converged towards each other's approaches.

Hua Nongying cultivated Taiyin, Hua Nongyue cultivated Taiyang... Chen Mu felt that perhaps in the past he had underestimated these sisters. Perhaps each sister, practicing one aspect of Yin Yang, could together evolve into a complete Yin Yang?

It's impossible for ordinary people.

Even identical twins might not be able to achieve it.

But if born as conjoined twins, sharing everything from vital energy to blood lineage, and even after separation, they still practiced in a converging manner, it indeed might be possible to achieve complete blending of Inner Breath.

Chen Mu was unclear whether Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue could truly achieve this, or by what means, but there was no doubt that they were likely practicing towards this goal.

"I'm not interested in the rankings of the rookie list."

Chen Mu looked at Hua Nongyue and finally replied calmly.

Hua Nongyue smiled charmingly, saying, "The empty titles created by the End of the World Sea Pavilion not only cause more intense conflicts among the younger generation of the whole Cold North Path's Eleven States but also drag many into the fray. Some aim to climb onto the rookie list, others compete for the rankings. In reality, if one truly holds to the sole volition of Martial Arts, what significance does a momentary ranking have?"

Upon saying this,

she suddenly flipped her hand and directly threw a Superior Grade Five Elements Lotus Platform towards Chen Mu.

Chen Mu caught it with his hand, and now, holding the lotus platform in his palm and carefully perceiving it, he could finally discern the volume of Heaven and Earth's Yuan Qi contained within - indeed more than he had anticipated, certainly not the worst scenario.

"What about the Dual Cultivation Technique?"

Chen Mu looked at Hua Nongyue again.

Hua Nongyue gently said, "Our Hehuan Sect has many Dual Cultivation Techniques, and there are some we don't mind being transmitted externally. I'll send some to you in a few days. However, if you want to learn a Superior Grade Dual Cultivation Method, you would have to practice together with me."

As her words fell, the thin air of the highland seemed permeated once again with an enchantingly charming scent.

Chen Mu did not respond, merely watching Hua Nongyue.

Hua Nongyue hummed a smile, saying, "What makes you uneasy, Brother Chen? I've already handed over the Five Elements Lotus Platform to you without fear that you might go back on your word. Are you still worried that I might not keep mine?"

Chen Mu gave Hua Nongyue another look, then tucked the Five Elements Lotus Platform into his bag. Next, he took out an Earthly Green Lotus Seed and tossed it to Hua Nongyue, who caught it deftly.

At this moment, Hua Nongyue was no longer wearing a playful expression but observed the Green Lotus Seed in her hand seriously and meticulously. After confirming there was no problem, she then turned to Chen Mu with a charming expression:

"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your help. I'll thank you on behalf of my sister as well."

Saying this, she suddenly moved her lips slightly, and a thread of her voice condensed into a line, quietly landing in Chen Mu's ear.

"Brother Chen, having achieved the Qian Heaven Artistic Conception, and being able to borrow the Momentum of heaven from the Yunni Sky Steps, you have already been deemed a formidable person by many. Be cautious in your solitary travels outside, for there are more than one or two eyes on you now."

As her words ended.

Hua Nongyue giggled charmingly, her entire figure stealthily retreated, disappearing in the blink of an eye between the falcon's descent and the rabbit's rise.

Chen Mu watched Hua Nongyue leave, not overly concerned with her caution, then turned his gaze back to Yunni Sky Peak. He stepped forward, descending along the cliff toward the base of Yunni Sky Peak.

With a violent wind swirling around him, puffing up his sleeves, although not able to levitate fully, he managed to slow his descent significantly, as if floating in the air, quickly reaching the valley bottom, and then continued onward.

...

One day,

Two days,

Three days,

With the passage of time, the conflicts within Bi Prefecture Government gradually subsided.

As the day of turmoil in the Cloud Sea drew near, sustaining injuries at this time would inevitably affect their ascent to discuss martial arts and enlightenment. Even if some Sect Disciples ignited real flames in their sparring and created personal conflicts, they temporarily set them aside.

And so, several more days passed.

At last,

that rolling Cloud Sea high in the sky began to ripple on this day, each undulation grand and encompassing as if stormy waves churned, tumultuous and unpredictable.
