Supreme Tamer

Chapter 735: Chapter 605: Return to the West Region

Half a month after the half-demon storm, Elder Liu finally showed up in front of Chu Mu.

The first thing Elder Liu asked was why Chu Mu was in such a hurry to leave World City.

“I want to get out and hone my skills.” Chu Mu was now extremely eager to enhance the strength of his soul pets. After all, the bottleneck of the Peak Monarch, which is a deadlock to a large number of soul pet masters, probably wouldn’t pose much of a hindrance to Chu Mu now.

Elder Liu had long heard that Chu Mu was a diligent practicer, so he said earnestly to Chu Mu, “After Sky Listener’s death, I secretly dealt with some members of the Soul Covenant. However, I think it won’t be long before the Soul Covenant sends someone to replace Sky Listener and he will definitely be ordered to try to recover your Seven Sins Fox.”

Chu Mu nodded and said in a low voice, “I know. That’s why I want to leave immediately and avoid appearing in large cities for the time being.”

Elder Liu shook his head and said, “Your identity should not have been exposed. You can still use Chu Chen’s identity. I received the news a few days ago that the Master of the Soul Covenant had crossed the forbidden domain on his own and is temporarily not in our human world…”

“Crossing the Forbidden Zone?” Chu Mu was immediately shocked!!

When Chu Mu first arrived in West Lingcheng Region, it bordered the forbidden zone to the southwest. Chu Mu had only slightly stepped outside the human territory, and what appeared before him was the Mysterious Realm ruled by the Blue Sky Demon Spirit Emperor!

If the Forbidden Zone is seen as a vast ocean, then the Mysterious Realm of the Blue Sky Demon Spirit Emperor that Chu Mu had stepped into would merely be a small beach. So, crossing the Forbidden Zone, what a shocking concept!

“Yes, in this world, only the Master of the Soul Covenant can cross the Forbidden Zone,” said Elder Liu.

“Why does he want to cross the Forbidden Zone? Is there anything special about the other side of the Forbidden Zone?” Chu Mu immediately asked.

Elder Liu shook his head and said, “I don’t know about that. I’ve never been to the other side of the Forbidden Zone. Although the Master of the Soul Covenant has the strength to cross the Forbidden Zone, it also takes a considerable amount of time. He definitely won’t be able to return within a few years.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mu felt a lot more relieved, even secretly praying: It’s best if this Soul Covenant Master encounters an unknown creature beyond the emperor level in the Forbidden Zone and gets directly obliterated.

Since the Master of the Soul Covenant won’t appear in a few years, Chu Mu can safely improve his strength. Perhaps when the Master of the Soul Covenant returns, the characters he sends out, like Sky Listener, are no longer his opponents.

“Every time the Master of the Soul Covenant crosses the Forbidden Zone and returns, his strength increases. He is truly the strongest person among us humans. For many years, no one dared to oppose him. Chu Mu, you have inherited the talents of Chu Tianmang and Ice Mist as a soul pet master. You have an excellent foundation. You also work very hard on your growth path. However, if you make this person your enemy, you might end up ruining the promising future, just like your father,” Elder Liu said in a slightly lower tone, looking at Chu Mu and continued.

Elder Liu indeed didn’t want Chu Mu to offend the Master of the Soul Covenant because of a soul pet. After all, Chu Mu is a very excellent soul pet master and has a very high possibility to reach the realm of the few strongest people among humans.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll be extra careful,” said Chu Mu seriously.

Chu Mu understood what Elder Liu meant: just letting him give up Mo Ye so he could improve his strength without worry and this, in turn, would make Chu Mu feel like a walking corpse. There is no way to achieve any significant achievements on the future path.

So even if his enemy has become the strongest person among all humans, Chu Mu will not waver.

“Sigh, it seems that you don’t understand how strong this person is. He is so strong that our Soul Halls scattered around the world have to avoid his sharpness … Nevermind, you should be safe for a few years. If the Master of the Soul Covenant doesn’t find any clues, maybe this secret will sink. If you want to walk in your way, just go ahead,” Elder Liu knew he could not persuade Chu Mu.

Elder Liu didn’t say anything else, patted Chu Mu on the shoulder, and then left with hands on his back.

After watching him leave, Chu Mu returned to his room.

Chu Mu was always decisive in doing things. Since he wanted to start his new journey, he set off directly the next morning.

Before leaving, Chu Mu gave the Emperor-level young Furious Wind Demon to Teacher De, asking Teacher De to help him find a good buyer in exchange for a wind element spirit that could strengthen the Wind-binding Spirit.

When Teacher De received the Emperor-level young pet, he complained continuously, always doing these trivial things for Chu Mu, he doesn’t look like an elder at all, he was like Chu Mu’s housekeeper.

Teacher De grumbled, but didn’t refuse, and also stated that strengthening the Wind-binding Spirit to the emperor level was indeed a wiser choice than training an emperor-level Furious Wind Demon.

On the eve of Chu Mu’s departure, he quietly sent a message to Princess Jinrou. Princess Jinrou didn’t know what she was busy with, or rather, she didn’t appear since returning from the Tenth Realm.

Chu Mu never understood this woman. Anyway, he had said goodbye, so he didn’t think much about it and left World City directly.

The moment he stepped out of World City, Chu Mu looked at the faraway blue sky and the intersecting land, and his mood was inexplicably relieved. He then galloped across the plains to the west of World City…

…

…

On the emerald-green field, a blue ribbon of water meandered endlessly…

The river was wide and deep, dotted with numerous fleets of ships sailing leisurely.

These were mostly trading boats, always shuttling between Western World and Zhanli Realm.

The soil of Western World, a resource not available in Zhanli Realm, was a critical ingredient for most building constructions of the palace level. Whenever a city near this transboundary river in Zhanli Realm needed to construct a building, it required the goods from the traders of Western World.

Of course, because the river crossed two realms and served as a water source for dozens of large cities, the lengthy river has become a traffic hub. Many people crossing realms choose to take passenger boats here to avoid dangers on the road.

Moreover, the scenery along the West Zhan River has always been extremely captivating, cherished by poets and beauties as a spectacular touring spot.

Passenger boats had various levels. Ordinary ones were slowly pushed upstream by weak water elementals manipulating the water waves.

For higher-level boats, more potent water-type soul pets’ abilities served as the propulsion of the boat.

At the top level, the boat was swift as the wind and lightning crashing through the waterway. A large group of water-type soul pets manipulated water waves to provide propulsion, the speed of which was no slower than soul pets running on the road.

“Oh, it turns out the passenger boat business belongs to the Chu Family. Interesting,” a young man dressed in white robes mused, touching his chin, on a boat speeding rampantly.

The boat was extremely fast, water splashed continuously, fluttering past the young man in white robes. The sensation was exceptionally refreshing and comfortable in the summer heat.

“Hehe, the Chu Family just took over not long ago. Several experts had to be deployed by the family to suppress the Lu Family, who originally operated this business,” the introducing crew member said with a broad smile.

The crew member naturally smiled from ear to ear as the affluent young man in front of him had chartered a commander-level passenger boat all by himself.

A commander level passenger boat can at least carry a hundred people and is pricey, the crew member had rarely seen anyone spend money so generously.

The young man stood near the wooden railing, watching the constant splashing of water, and murmured to himself: “Well, since it’s on the way, why not visit the family? Wonder how grandpa and big uncle are doing…”

The young man who monopolized a commander-level passenger boat was none other than Chu Mu.

After leaving the World City, Chu Mu headed west, virtually retracing his journey back to the Zhanli Realm.

Of course, the path Chu Mu took was undoubtedly different, just like this West Zhan River, which Chu Mu had never traveled on before.

Seeing the river, Chu Mu needed to let Ye, who had been traveling continuously, rest. So, he splurged a bit on the high-speed version of the passenger boat, heading upstream. The source of the river was close to the Chu Family’s major base in the Western Region.

What surprised Chu Mu was that the Chu Family seemed to have gained a certain strength in the recent years, even managing to secure this transboundary business. Granted it was only passenger boat services, but considering the river was the water source of dozens of large cities, it was undoubtedly a large business…

Chu Mu remembers that in the past when the Chu Family was in Gangluo City, their business usually just operated in cities of the eighth and ninth levels, not having the ability to expand to tenth-level domain cities. In just a few years, the Chu Family has extended its reach across such a vast area, evidently, they must have made significant progress.

“Young Master, as a Soul Emperor, having influence in the Earth Realm is crucial. Once you possess a realm, all the spiritual resources in it are indisputably yours. The production of even the lowest-level Earth Realm Spirit can sustain a quasi-Emperor. Young Master, you should consider seizing the resources in the Western World. According to my estimation, the monthly production of spirits in the Western World should be around 100, and several spirit origins have not yet been exploited. If they could be developed, it will be a large sum of fortune,” Fox Elder said.

“Only 100 spirits? If you converted it into gold coins, the production of an Earth Realm is only 100 billion?” Chu Mu asked.

“Young Master, how many times have I told you, there is no fool who would exchange 1 spirit for 100 million gold coins! Spirits can’t be compared with gold coins, they are not in the same league! Moreover, spiritual resources are currently in high demand, disasters are widespread, the importance of Emperor-level is highlighted. I estimate that in recent years, some Soul Emperors would be willing to exchange 10 billion for 1 spirit!”

“The price of spirits fluctuates wildly, which is linked to the disasters. The exchange ratio of 1 spirit to 100 million gold coins is the absolute rock bottom…” said Fox Elder.

“Alright, even though I currently have 1000 spirits to spend, it’s necessary to have fixed assets. So later when the Emperor increases, I won’t be burdened. I’ll have to think about making the family solve this spirit source problem for me,” Chu Mu says.

Now, Chu Mu has the strength to barely confront a World Master, supporting a family should not be much of a problem.
