Novel Full Chapter 788 - 776: Unexpected Event
Late at night.
The peak of Weizhi Peak, in front of a thatched hut.
Several hours passed unconsciously, Chen Mu awoke from meditation.
His eyes looked vacantly into the air, as if a faint glow flickered within, only after a while did he refocus and return to consciousness.
Out of habit, he summoned a gray stone gate and looked at one section.
Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture: 1476/10000/Ninth Rank;
“Just one attempt, and the experience value increased by more than two hundred?”
“How can the speed be so fast?” Chen Mu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
“Is Thousand Lanterns City and Spirit Treasure Core Mechanism Technique really that compatible?”
“Hmm… could it be that the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture was originally prepared as a secret technique for such grotto heavens?” Chen Mu’s mind was stirred with a sudden guess.
The Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture comes from the Divine Statue Cave Heaven at Luandu County City God Temple, a grotto heaven inside the statue, a place where the Yin Soul resides within the Living God.
Perhaps the existence of the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture was meant to assist the Living God in mastering the Divine Statue Cave Heaven.
And Thousand Lanterns City, is also a grotto heaven!
“Discovered too late!” Chen Mu slapped his thighs and sighed with remorse.
Just one cultivation increased the Ninth Rank Spiritual Treasure Pivot by over two hundred experiences, in the earlier stages, the speed would only be faster.
If I had done this earlier, I might have already practiced the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture to the limit.
With the assistance of the perfect Spirit Treasure Core Mechanism Technique, the Yellow Springs Gourd would definitely make greater progress.
Sighing for a while, Chen Mu adjusted his mood.
“Thinking too much won’t help, better to focus on gaining experience.”
Nowadays, the Yellow Springs Gourd is getting harder to cultivate, he decided to first brush up the Spirit Treasure Core Mechanism Technique to accelerate the forming of the Spirit Treasure Talisman.
…
The next morning.
Tang Zhimu suddenly climbed the mountain.
Upon seeing Chen Mu, he hesitated and spoke: “Someone from Star-picking Peak came to notify us to pack warehouse materials, how do I feel…”
Feeling like a strategic retreat?
What strategic retreat!
This is called strategic transfer!
“I’m aware of this, just follow the instructions.” Chen Mu replied displeased.
“Is it because of Luo Ding and Luodu Academy?” Tang Zhimu guessed cautiously.
“Not entirely, but almost.” Chen Mu nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu decided to reveal some information. After all, they know each other, it’s best to be prepared in case of unexpected occurrences, to respond promptly.
“Previously, Luo Ding attacked Lin Tu at Chaoyang Peak due to the Mistaken Heaven Demon Monster.”
“Although chased away by Institute Yuan, things likely aren’t over, probably eyeing Nine Peaks Mountain.”
“I don’t know how Mistaken Sky Demon Monster cultivates, but it might also require the Spirit Mountain where Primordial Earth Vein gathers.”
“Institute Yuan is just preparing early, in case things go wrong, for a swift retreat.”
Tang Zhimu, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but look shocked.
He was surprised, yet not too surprised.
Originally left Tangshan Institute to avoid demon chaos.
Just didn’t expect, even in the remote southwest of Yizhou, still inevitably affected.
“I’ll arrange personnel and materials immediately.” Tang Zhimu hesitated no longer.
“I trust you to handle things.” Chen Mu nodded satisfactorily.
Luckily, with Tang Zhimu’s help, otherwise he’d have to do it all himself,
He’s a Daoist Soldier of Yellow Springs Sect, borrowing someone else’s Spirit Mountain Earth Vein to cultivate, he can’t just do nothing.
Unless absolutely necessary, couldn’t possibly abandon disciples and run away alone.
If it truly came to that…
Well, why bother with things that haven’t happened.
Thinking about this and that, Chen Mu waved Tang Zhimu away, and returned to pondering over the Spiritual Treasure Pivot.
…
Institute Yuan Zhen had prepared early, Chen Mu thought he could soon leave Nine Peaks Mountain.
But didn’t expect the change came so suddenly.
Two days later at night, continuous booms resounded from the horizon, causing the earth to shake violently.
Up and down Weizhi Peak, Mountain Protection Spirit Light suddenly appeared.
In the thatched hut on the mountaintop, Chen Mu rolled out of bed. A flash of golden light, he soared up to the mountain top.
Looking around, he immediately saw light rising to the sky from the northern horizon.
Star-picking Peak?
Chen Mu instantly felt a bad premonition.
Two Vermilion Feather Swords turned into red lines and rushed north.
Truth Listening Divine Power was activated, and scenes along the way immediately surfaced in his mind.
He discovered that not only Weizhi Peak, the entire nine peaks of Nine Peaks Mountain had Mountain Protection Spirit Light appear automatically. Like nine glowing pearls, strung together by invisible forces.
Chen Mu’s heart grew increasingly restless.
Before long, the Vermilion Feather Sword reached the core region of Nine Peaks Mountain.
From afar, he saw the Spirit Light flashing like a light bulb atop Star-picking, Wangyue, and Chaoyang Peaks, particularly conspicuous in the night.
That’s the manifestation of Mountain Protection Forbidden Law being fully activated.
In the sky above Star-picking Peak, a sky-covering white crane kept circling.
Accompanied by sharp crane cries, strands of golden lightning sprayed from its mouth, continuously bombarding the Mountain Protection Forbidden Law of Star-picking Peak.
And not far from Wangyue and Chaoyang Peaks, strange-looking demon monsters were also attacking the Mountain Protection Spirit Light.
“Mistaken Heaven Demon Monster?”
“Came so quickly!”
“Appearing without any warning, did they use some Ground Shrinking Shifting Secret Technique?”
That’s it.
Being able to break through the barriers between two realms to descend from Mistaken Heaven, how could they lack similar means.
Frowning and observing the situation.
A pale blue Escape Light flew to the mountain top, Tang Zhimu appeared, unsure: “Institute Yuan?! This…”
“Demon attack on the mountain.” Chen Mu interrupted, directly telling the truth.
“So sudden?!” Tang Zhimu, somewhat panicked, looked north, through the miles, faintly seeing flashes of light.
“Then us here…”
“So far no trace of demon monsters has been found.” Chen Mu shook his head.
“That’s good…” Tang Zhimu sighed lightly.
“Apparently, those demon monsters selectively pick places, knowing Star-picking Peak’s Primordial Earth Vein is more complete.”
“Otherwise, by now our Weizhi Peak would also be inescapable.” He spoke lightly.
Just then, a black dot appeared on the bright moon in the sky.
The dot expanded and deformed into a multi-headed, six-armed, towering black-haired ape.
Then it leaped from the disc-like moonlight, swiftly descending, pounding its feet hard on the Mountain Protection Spirit Light.
Crackling… Mountain Protection Spirit Light instantly fractured with cracks, like shattered tempered glass.
“No! Is this monkey stupid?!”
“Not attacking the Spiritual Mountains of Wangyue Chaoyang with abundant Vital Energy and coming to Weizhi Peak, what’s the meaning?!” Tang Zhimu couldn’t help but freak out.
Vital Energy?
Equally puzzled, Chen Mu’s mouth twitched.
He suddenly thought of the twenty-four Bright Pearl he buried underground.
Is it because the pearl attracted the Heavenly Star, causing Weizhi Peak to be abnormally rich in Vital Energy, hence attracting the black ape’s attack?
Then, it’s still his fault?
Chen Mu turned and glared fiercely at Tang Zhimu.
“It’s all because of your crow’s mouth!”
Tang Zhimu: “…”
Why suddenly feel a black pot hovering over his head?
“Forget it, I don’t blame you.” Chen Mu, showing magnanimity, waved his hand.
With a thought, he activated Five Ghosts Moving Mountain, releasing ghosts. Black clouds swirled and condensed, a Ghost Gate appeared in the blink of an eye at the mountainside.
“Quickly go down the mountain to lead people evacuate, this place can’t be stayed for long.” He started waving to send off people.
Tang Zhimu scratched his head, seeing the increasingly fracturing Mountain Protection Spirit Light, cared not to think further, gratefully saluted with a fist before turning to arrange the escape.
…
Watching Tang Zhimu leave, Chen Mu couldn’t help but chuckle.
Compared with the panic of the many disciples, his heart was rather calm.
Seeing too many similar big scenes, even a strange monkey, regardless of its enormous size, hardly stirred his emotions.
Besides, his Dao now is far beyond the past, already able to stand firm in such chaos.
Chen Mu, with hands behind his back, casually observed the black ape hammering Mountain Protection Spirit Light.
“Ding ding ding, how did it knock out a rhythm?”
“With three heads and six arms, looking odd enough, could it still be a music loving monkey?”
