Novel Full Chapter 780 - 768: Perfection
Thanks to Chen Mu’s sweeping actions, the entire southwest area of Yizhou is peaceful and calm.
On another deep night with a full moon in the sky, the Emperor’s Liquid arrives as expected. The golden silk rain falls silently to the ground.
Atop Weizhi Peak, Chen Mu deploys his vast Yin Spirit Divine Power, activating the Qi Prohibition Hundred Miles Secret Technique, causing an invisible Exotic Force to appear in the sky.
It looks like an invisible funnel, obscuring the sky. The Emperor’s Liquid falls into it and gathers toward the center along its edges.
Chen Mu stands at the bottom of the funnel, collecting drop by drop.
When the phenomenon disappears, a head-sized mass of Emperor’s Liquid floats above his palm.
As time passes, this mass of Emperor’s Liquid begins to rapidly dissipate, and even with mana wrapping it, it is difficult to completely seal it.
Not daring to delay, Chen Mu’s figure flashes to the eastern mountainside. Over twenty large iron cages, each as tall as two men, are placed here, each containing an Exotic Beast.
Some have three heads and six wings, others have a single foot and a bull’s head; there are various peculiar forms among them.
Chen Mu divides the Emperor’s Liquid into more than twenty portions, quickly injecting them into these Exotic Beasts. Instantly, the beasts seem to have drunk liquor and soon fall asleep, snoring loudly.
As they breathe, the aura around them begins to fluctuate like a heartbeat.
“Not bad, they didn’t explode and die; I’ve finally found the right dose.”
Chen Mu nods in satisfaction.
Previously, the sweeping actions of ten thousand Ghosts were too aggressive, leaving few promising Exotic Beasts in the southwest area.
Those special Exotic Beasts capable of causing Daoist Foundations to tremble were completely absent.
The progress of the Heavenly Demon Armor had somewhat stalled.
Chen Mu then decided to cultivate the Exotic Beasts himself.
After many trials and comparisons, he found an appropriate dose of Emperor’s Liquid that allowed the Exotic Beasts to rapidly transform without ingesting too much and exploding.
“After one more bath in the Emperor’s Liquid, these Exotic Beasts will be basically done.”
“Awakening is certainly not achievable, but providing forty or fifty experience points for the Heavenly Demon Armor is more than enough.”
“Indeed, doing it yourself brings abundance, hehe…”
…
The next day, at the Star-picking Hall.
“Refugee disciples?” Chen Mu looked at Yuan Zhen in surprise.
“Monsters and Exotic Beasts are rampant in the interior of Yizhou, so Lower Institute disciples have no choice but to flee here.” Yuan Zhen sighed helplessly.
“Originally, I didn’t want to disturb you, but there are quite a lot of them this time, so we might arrange a group to Weizhi Peak.” He looked apologetic.
“No problem, as long as it doesn’t disturb my cultivation at home.” Chen Mu didn’t mind.
“In that case, all the White Jade Coins produced from Weizhi Peak in the future will remain at Weizhi Peak.”
“With more disciples and followers, there will be additional expenses.” Yuan Zhen pondered for a moment and said.
Is there such a good thing?
Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.
Although he doesn’t rely on White Jade as much now, it’s not entirely without use either.
Due to the Little Circulation Star Battle Technique Forbidden, the current White Jade output from Weizhi Peak is not insignificant.
This Yuan Zhen of the Capital Institute is indeed very straightforward and generous in his actions.
Chen Mu was quite happy.
But happy for long, he soon thought of another problem.
If the Lower Institute disciples can flee to the southwest of Yizhou, could monsters come near Nine Peaks Mountain?
“Hard to say.” Yuan Zhen shook his head.
“Does the Upper Court of Yellow Springs Sect have any plans?” Chen Mu frowned.
We can’t just ignore this, can we?
“I’m afraid they can’t spare attention for us.” Yuan Zhen sighed again.
“The Emperor’s Liquid affects the Thirteen States, and Thunder State, where the Upper Court is located, is equally unsettled.”
“Moreover, Core Disciples and Elders have been heading to Mistaken Heaven for years. Even if they wanted to act, the Upper Court wouldn’t be able to send people out quickly.”
This is quite worrying.
Chen Mu felt a heaviness in his heart.
“I also thought about whether we should move to Ba State Wanxiang Institute early.” Yuan Zhen said, “However, after some consideration, I had to let go. The distance is too far, and problems are inevitable on the road.”
So… running away is not feasible either?
Chen Mu scratched his head.
He recalled the arduous journey when he first came to Nine Peaks Mountain.
“No need to worry too much, my friend,” Yuan Zhen comforted with a smile.
“Thanks to you clearing out the Exotic Beasts, Nine Peaks Mountain is quite settled.”
“This has also attracted many Lower Institute disciples and elders to join, greatly enhancing the foundation and strength of Nine Peaks Mountain.”
“The southwest area is remote, and those monsters rampant in Yizhou are unlikely to come here.”
“Rather than making a perilous move, it’s safer and more stable to hold on to Nine Peaks Mountain.”
Tsk!
It seems this is our only temporary option.
Chen Mu sighed in his heart and had no choice but to nod in acceptance.
…
In the interior of Yizhou, amidst the rolling mountains, near a certain mountain village.
A bald figure in armor flies backward out of the dense forest like a rock launched by a trebuchet. In its path, tall trees snap and shatter.
Bang!
The figure hits the ground. Dirt and stones fly into the air, immediately creating a five or six-meter-deep pit in the ground.
At the bottom of the pit, Hei Shan’s right arm is severed at the root, and his left leg is missing below the knee. The skin on his forehead is gone, revealing bare white bone.
With a grimace on his face, he struggled, but after several attempts, he still couldn’t manage to get up.
Overhead, a bare-chested, muscle-bound, grizzled elder appeared at the edge of the pit.
His eyes were bloodshot, his expression cold.
“Fiend, I can tell at a glance you’re not human!”
Hei Shan: “…”
“Tell me, why did you attack my Golden Mountain Village?”
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
“With your immense strength and formidable vitality, even causing my Blood Pouch to shudder, you must be an ancient exotic creature.”
“If I eat you, it would surely perfect my Celestial Capital Transformation, perhaps even let me enter the gate of Divine Demon Transformation!” The muscle-bound elder stared intently at Hei Shan’s chest, involuntarily grinning with saliva dripping between his teeth.
“Fiend, I want you to aid my cultivation!”
Hei Shan: “…”
Damn it, this isn’t right, is it?
How are these human demons more brutal than us monsters?!
Just as he was about to unleash his secret technique in desperation,
Bang!
A slender, pale hand suddenly emerged from the elder’s chest.
In the palm, a bright red heart was thumping.
The heart seemed like a sentient lifeform, with veins struggling and writhing towards the chest cavity like octopus tentacles.
The next moment,
Boom!
The muscle-bound elder exploded into pieces, turning into blood-colored fragments that flew in all directions.
A petite figure in white emerged from behind the elder, casually tossing the still-struggling heart into the pit.
“Thank you, Demon Saint, for your assistance!” Hei Shan hastily caught it, feeling greatly relieved.
He had been too careless, almost dying at the hands of that bizarre human demon.
He looked like just an ordinary old man, not even as strong as an Awakening Demon Soldier, who knew he could burst into a muscle-bound giant.
Human demons are indeed cunning!
Hei Shan thought bitterly.
In this brief moment, new flesh buds began to sprout at his broken arm and calf, slowly healing the injuries.
“Have the number of Nether God Blood Bags been collected sufficiently?” The Kunpeng Demon Saint asked expressionlessly.
“Including this one, there are now one hundred and seventeen high-grade blood bags, enough for the trade with that human demon Luo Ding.” Hei Shan quickly jumped out of the pit, speaking respectfully.
“Can the Earth Vein here in the Golden Mountain Village truly not set up a two-realm teleportation technique ban?” he couldn’t help but frown and ask.
“Take people to collect from Thunder Storage Creek as soon as possible.” The Kunpeng Demon Saint nodded slightly.
“Actively destroying the Earth Vein, ruining such a good Spirit Land, do they not need Vital Energy for cultivation?” Although he had anticipated it, Hei Shan couldn’t help but feel angry.
“Was it premeditated, so they destroyed the Earth Vein Technique Ban in advance?” he had to suspect.
“Daring to invade Mistaken Heaven so boldly without any preparation would be strange.” The Kunpeng Demon Saint was indifferent.
“Human demons are so cunning, do you think that Luo Ding will take the blood bags but not give us the Spirit Land?” Hei Shan asked worriedly.
“I actually hope he goes back on his word.” The Kunpeng Demon Saint spoke coldly.
Indeed.
In half a year, the possessed demon soldier’s strength had mostly recovered.
If the other party really dared to go back on his word…
Heh heh!
…
At the top of Weizhi Peak, before a thatched wooden hut.
Chen Mu stood in the open space, surrounded by a nine-meter radius of condensed Qi, resembling an overturned bowl.
Inside, the aura was fierce and ever-changing, as if inhabited by countless Heavenly Demon Monsters.
Two months passed, and the batch of exotic beasts he raised had undergone successive transformations. Thanks to the assistance of these exotic beast bloodlines, the Heavenly Demon Armor finally achieved perfection.
Outside the Jade Seed, thirty-two layers of dark green Spiritual Light firmly protected the Dao Foundation Jade Seed in the center.
“Its defensive capability is indeed strong, but this style is a bit unusual.”
“Anyone who didn’t know would think I’m some kind of Heavenly Demon Monster.”
“I’m a good person, so why do the secret techniques I practice always end up so eerie and dark?” Chen Mu felt a sense of injustice.
“It’s all the fault of the Buwu Mountain Seven Siblings, why did you have to choose such unorthodox secret techniques to practice?”
Chen Mu’s consciousness sank into the Five Ghosts Bag, glaring at the seven half-man-tall black gourds for a while.
The Heavenly Demon Armor came from the Five Ghosts, a technique learned by the seven siblings from grave-robbing, supposedly from the Thousand Mountains Scripture Fragment.
And that Thousand Mountains Path that compiled the Thousand Mountains Sutra, is definitely not a legitimate sect.
“Forget it, if it’s wicked, then so be it, as long as it’s effective.”
“Besides, those proper Qi Cultivators are not necessarily that righteous either.” Chen Mu secretly muttered.
Distant like Lv Yue from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, spreading plague poison on a large scale to refine the Qi Cultivator version of Emperor’s Liquid, indiscriminately devouring Spiritual Deities.
Near like Luo Ding from the Holy Heart Institute, colluding with Yin Ghost Sect Members in secret to incite chaos in Yizhou for that absurd Heart Nourishing Pill.
They are no good people, unlike me, who is as pretty as I am kind-hearted.
Ashamed to be associated with them!
Chen Mu was full of disdain.
Then he raised his hand to open the Five Ghosts Bag, releasing a billow of black smoke, instructing the Five Ghosts to continue searching the mountain with countless Ghosts.
Although he had already screened several times, ensuring that there shouldn’t be any monsters or exotic beasts causing trouble on Nine Peaks Mountain.
But… just in case, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
