Novel Full Chapter 779 - 767: Tier 8
North of Nine Peaks Mountain, six hundred miles away, in a misty small valley, the figure of the Green Barbarian slowly emerged.
“Damn Weizhi Peak Master!”
These days, he used a secret technique to investigate Nine Peaks Mountain multiple times and already knew the culprit behind the demon soldiers’ slaughter.
“Perhaps, I should directly take over this person’s body?!” A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
After a while, he suppressed the impulse.
“I can’t lose my head and ruin things. This person possesses great divine skills, but to Nine Peaks Mountain, he is ultimately an outsider. It’s more valuable to replace the original people of Nine Peaks Mountain.”
He took a deep breath and began to ponder carefully.
“Institute Yuan Zhen is most suitable, but his strength is similar to mine, and the risk of failure is high.”
“The Right Supervisor is young and weaker, the easiest to replace. But also because he is young, he doesn’t understand the Earth Vein Technique Ban, so I won’t have a good reason to tamper with the Earth Vein later.”
“That Left Supervisor Hu Sheng is just right. He is originally responsible for maintaining the Mountain Protection Magical Barrier, just right to use his identity to openly tamper with the Primordial Earth Vein!”
…
A few days later, several dozen miles outside Nine Peaks Mountain, a jade-like emerald green cicada fluttered lightly through the forest.
Moments later, as if tired of flying, it burrowed behind a palm-sized leaf.
The instant the Jade Cicada flew beneath the leaf, a mass of inky shadow appeared above the forest canopy.
Within the black smoke, faintly glimmered dark red light, turning left and right as if patrolling its territory, before leisurely drifting away.
The emerald green Jade Cicada poked its head out from behind the leaf, stealthily observing the receding black smoke.
“Luckily, I chose to enter with Divine Separation. If it was my true form, I might have already been discovered by this Yin Ghost creature.” The Green Barbarian, transformed into the Jade Cicada, secretly rejoiced.
He stealthily entered Nine Peaks Mountain, and by now, this was the fifth patrolling Ghost he’d encountered.
“Damn it!” With a furious glare at the black smoke disappearing into the horizon, the Green Barbarian’s heart burned with rage.
The ones who captured his subordinate demon soldiers were precisely these black smoke Ghosts.
“It’s almost time.”
“As long as I get close to that Left Supervisor Hu Sheng, with the Linglong Unity Method bestowed by my master, I can enter his Spiritual Deity and be reborn!”
“By then, I’ll alter the Earth Vein, open the Mistaken Heaven passage between realms, and summon demon soldiers and generals to avenge my men!”
Just as he was contemplating how to handle the opponent, a shadow suddenly loomed overhead.
The Green Barbarian looked up in surprise and saw a silver-black gaseous mist above him, its appearance an enigma.
Not good!
The Green Barbarian was alarmed and intended to flee, only to find himself surrounded by the same silver-black mist.
In the next moment.
Swoosh!
The silver-black mist, like a hidden serpent in the grass, suddenly lunged out, instantly enveloping the Jade Cicada tightly.
After a short, sharp scream, the emerald green Jade Cicada vanished without a trace.
…
Under a large tree, a flash of gold, and Chen Mu’s figure appeared.
“Heh heh! Another experience package.” He laughed heartily and used Yama’s Feast Divine Power to completely devour the Jade Cicada.
Then, a rush of insights flooded his mind.
“Is this a big experience package?!” Chen Mu raised an eyebrow as he watched the design on the stone gate gain over three hundred experience points for the Heavenly Demon Armor.
“In the past two months, I bathed in the Emperor’s Liquid twice and also experienced new exotic beast transformations and awakenings?”
“Good things indeed!”
Previously, using the Truthful Listening Technique and coordinating with a hundred thousand Ghosts, he swept up all the exotic beasts around Nine Peaks Mountain swiftly.
However, because he was too thorough, the following two months yielded only scarce results.
Unexpectedly, now there appeared an exotic beast that excited his Daoist Foundation.
“This Emperor’s Liquid is really something.”
“If I conduct another deep search…”
…
Over the next two days, he decisively scoured several hundred miles around Nine Peaks Mountain, but unfortunately didn’t encounter any big experience packages again.
Instead, he captured over ten small exotic beasts, each providing twenty to thirty experience points, and thus added another layer to the Spiritual Light Barrier within the Jade Seed Dao Foundation.
Chen Mu, feeling satisfied, stopped further searching.
After all, even if they are like chives, they still need time to grow, don’t they?
…
In the misty small valley, the Green Barbarian, looking like a little old man in a red robe with green eyebrows, was full of anger.
“First, they captured over a thousand of my demon soldiers, now they devoured my Divine Separation!”
“Ruining my plans repeatedly, if I hadn’t lost full power during possession and rebirth, I’d surely devour you, this Human Demon!” He was gnashing his teeth in hatred.
These days, he tried multiple times to sneak into Nine Peaks Mountain, but all attempts failed.
If he hadn’t escaped swiftly, he might have lost another two or three Divine Separations.
“I can’t delay any longer. I must find another place to possess and be reborn.” The Green Barbarian suppressed his anger with great effort.
“Once I return, hmph hmph…”
Just as he was sinisterly plotting, he saw rolling black smoke rising in the distance.
The Green Barbarian recoiled, turned, and turned into a wisp of fog to flee.
Hell, this place is uninhabitable now.
Time to leave!
…
Time flies
With the fall of the Emperor’s Liquid, many exotic beasts successfully awakened. Early awakened monsters, under the stimulation of the Emperor’s Liquid, also saw great improvements in strength.
The interior of Yizhou was full of countless battles, chaotic like an alchemist’s pot, increasingly disordered.
Yet in the Southwest, a strange calm prevailed.
In the outer mountains and forests, not only were there no monsters seen, but even ordinary exotic beasts were scarce.
Either devoured by Chen Mu’s Yama’s Feast cultivation technique, or captured and eaten by the patrolling Ghosts.
This effectively quashed any potential exotic beast threat in its infancy.
Because of this, after four or five months, despite successive falls of the Emperor’s Liquid, no chaos erupted at Nine Peaks Mountain.
That day, on Weizhi Peak, in front of a thatched wooden hut.
The Five Ghosts paper man swung the wind chime on the eaves, tinkling and swaying like a swing.
Lying on a rocking chair, Chen Mu awoke from meditation and slowly opened his eyes.
Within the Jade Seed, a Yellow Jade Gourd stood at the center. Golden lines weaved across its surface.
Unlike the past ones that dissipated quickly, this newly formed gourd slowly faded after maintaining for a full forty-five minutes.
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow and summoned the grey stone gate.
Heavenly Demon Armor: 9133/10000/Ninth Rank;
Yellow Springs Gourd: 11/10000/Eighth Rank.
“The Heavenly Demon Armor is somewhat lacking, but the Yellow Springs Gourd has reached a whole new stage.”
“A great delight!”
Ordinary Qi cultivators, during Inner Cultivation of Spiritual Treasure, needed continuous trial and error, cautiously requiring decades or even a century to succeed.
With the assistance of the stone gate, every Spirit Treasure Talisman only needed to be cultivated once to assure success. Moreover, the Secret Technique of Spiritual Treasure Core Chapter allowed the transformation of the Spiritual Deity, enhancing control over the Spirit Treasure Talisman.
Hence, cultivation speed accelerated repeatedly.
Previously stranded in Heavenly River Cave Heaven, he lost a lot of time.
But since arriving at Nine Peaks Mountain’s Weizhi Peak, in just half a year, he had already condensed sixty-three Spirit Treasure Talismans, advancing the Netherworld Gourd Secret Technique to the Eighth Rank.
“With only two more levels and eighteen talismans, it’s possible in just a year or two to fully cultivate it!”
The more Chen Mu thought about it, the happier he felt.
“Hmm, last time during exotic beast hunting, I seem to have caught a few five-colored pheasants.”
“Those are rare delicacies, perfect for a celebratory feast.”
