"Elder Chen..."
When Fang Yuan saw Chen Mu appear, he was slightly startled.
It was not so much Chen Mu's sudden appearance that surprised him; from the commotion earlier, he had been watching the direction Chen Mu was in and had guessed that Chen Mu would appear soon. What shocked him was that Chen Mu seemed to have undergone an indistinct and inexplicable change compared to before.
What exactly this change was, he couldn't discern, but there was an even more unsettling feeling deep within.
He cautiously looked at Chen Mu and probed, "Elder Chen, you... haven't possibly crossed that step, have you?"
"No."
Chen Mu replied calmly, "I have merely made some slight improvements in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, not crossing into the Blood Exchange Realm. This Cave Heaven World here does not support Body Tempering Martial Arts to assault the Blood Exchange phase, and Elder Fang must also be able to discern this."
