Chapter 491 - 483 Relocation
Chapter 491 - 483 Relocation
Chen Mu had thought he could live peacefully in Thousand Lanterns City until he returned to the Netherworld, but to his surprise, problems suddenly arose.
By the side of the Bottomless Pool in Thousand Lanterns City, feeling the still vastly distinct Spirit Mechanism storage, Chen Mu couldn’t help but sigh.
"Trouble, huh?"
After more than two months of relentless hunting, the creatures around the small island were nearly eradicated, and they could no longer capture more prey.
Initially, the quantity of game around the small island decreased, which later escalated to barely catching anything even at farther distances. Stay connected with novelhall.Côm
Worse yet, two squads had encountered powerful magical creatures in succession. If not for the Flight ability granted by the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, these two squads of Yin Spirits would have been buried at the bottom of the Blood Sea.
"We should move," Shen Yan said nonchalantly, apparently having anticipated this.
"We have no other choice," Chen Mu sighed.
According to his thoughts, the best scenario was to stay in one place until he had accumulated enough Spirit Mechanism to leave Nether Demon Heaven directly.
But reality was not as he imagined, and the demons of the Blood Sea were not inexhaustible.
Just thinking about the dangers that could arise during the relocation process made him uneasy and he couldn’t help but grind his teeth.
"If only the beasts and magical creatures proliferated like chives, continuously sprouting up. If only..."
...
Once the decision to move was made, Chen Mu didn’t dawdle; he dug up the wooden hut on the island and moved it into Thousand Lanterns City, setting off early the next morning.
This time he didn’t use the Longitudinal Rainbow Light, which was too conspicuous and also required the consumption of Mana.
Instead, he used the Five Elements Escape Technique, a natural Divine Skill of the True Form of Heavenly Demon, which could be powered by Yin Spirit Divine Power. When activated, his form could blend into the sea breeze. Though not fast, it was extremely discreet, perfectly suited for long-distance relocation.
Leaving the island, Chen Mu quickly felt the peril of Nether Demon Heaven.
On just the second day of the journey, the Truthful Listening Technique detected the strong vital rhythms of three entities. Luckily, the Five Elements Escape Technique truly was discreet, drawing no attention from those powerful beings.
Suppressing the urge to run back to the island and hide, Chen Mu cautiously took a wide detour.
After five days of Flying Escape, he finally discovered a suitable small island.
It was not a big island, roughly the size of a small village. Standing at one edge, one could see the other side at a glance. Its surface was covered with low shrubs and grasses, and there weren’t many tall trees—which made it seem somewhat monotonous and barren.
Chen Mu, however, was quite pleased. If it had been a vibrant large island, there might have been powerful beasts or magical creatures entrenched, which he wouldn’t have dared to claim.
He routinely scouted the surroundings for potential dangers and then released the wooden huts to reassemble and conceal using the Three Talents Method Prohibition. It took another day and a half to finish the moving process.
Chen Mu’s long-held tension finally eased. The hunting teams began to take turns going out, and he himself once again hid within Thousand Lanterns City to "level up."
...
At the top of a certain cliff in Nether Demon Heaven, on a giant gray-white boulder jutting out over the precipice, Lan Zhang sat cross-legged with his left leg and his right leg hanging over the edge.
He squinted his eyes towards the boundless Blood Sea in the distance. The dark red sunset was already halfway below the horizon, dyeing the whole world crimson.
Shadows behind him writhed, and suddenly, countless bloodshot eyes opened wide.
"I have quietly revealed the Main Camp’s location to members of the Three-Eyed Nether Clan," Wu Mu’s overlapping tones emerged. "The Three-Eyed Nether Clan is ferocious and has dominated these waters for many years. Desirous of progressing further, they have an insatiable thirst for the Heavenly Machine Fragment from Beyond the Skies. Now that they know about the Main Camp, they definitely won’t let Jian Chan off the hook."
"However..."
"If you could convert all the elite Yin soldiers from Antiquity City, your strength would likewise surge. If you could even consume and digest Jian Chan, a qualitative change might even take place. It feels like a pity to give such a good opportunity to someone else," Wu Mu expressed doubt.
"That’s because I enjoy helping others," Lan Zhang said with a smirk and a facetious tone.
However, someone actually cultivated a Ghost Pattern?!
His interest was immediately piqued.
For the past half year, with the green light soaring into the sky in Thousand Lanterns City, he had almost been blinded by the light. To supply the Replenishing Origin Soup, he had indeed spent quite a lot of White Jade Coins.
At last...
"It was Pu Lu and Hong Xiu," said Shen Yan without hiding it.
The old ox? And that cold-faced man from the Medicine Stone Sect?
"These two aren’t very aged, are they?" Chen Mu asked, somewhat surprised.
He had assumed some of the older ghosts would advance first, not them.
"Both under forty, well below the average age of fifty-three years recorded by Antiquity City, very gifted," Shen Yan nodded in praise.
"The future is promising, quite promising," Chen Mu said with a smile, stuffing a big mouthful of Yellow Bud Rice into his mouth.
The stronger the Yin Spirits became, the more stable the human-shaped Ghost Gate would be, and the safer their return to the Netherworld.
...
It was as if a switch had been flipped. Not much later, two more people cultivated their Ghost Pattern.
They were the previously selected leaders of the various banners. Old Ghost Shen was truly a sharp Military Supervisor; his chosen were all strong and had potential.
To help these auxiliary soldiers improve faster, he even halved the time for Safe Heart Sutra cultivation. Accordingly, the time the Yin Spirits helped him maintain the Three Paths Curse was also shortened, allowing them more time to cultivate the Three Yin Phosphorus Fire Curse.
It wasn’t that Chen Mu didn’t want to quickly complete the Divine Fetus Tracking Source, but that it took too much time, and the short-term improvement in strength wasn’t obvious.
Instead, it was better to let the Yin Spirits cultivate the Ghost Pattern, as their strength was low and they improved quickly. By increasing their overall strength, they could strengthen the Ghost Gate indirectly, reducing the risk of unstable Teleportation through the void.
One and a half months later, Thousand Lanterns City had another Yin Soldier leader, and the area surrounding the small island had been combed through by the hunting team like a sieve.
In the evening, on a highland on one side of the small island, Chen Mu sat at the edge of the wooden house’s long corridor, waiting for the last group of Yin Spirits to return, while enjoying the calm sea surface lit by the dark red sunset.
He had already decided to leave this place tomorrow and relocate again.
With nothing better to do, Chen Mu subconsciously started to grind experience for the Jade Gate Curse.
This Cursing Method was key to returning to the Netherworld. Fifth Rank had given him access to the Ghost Gate creation technique. With a slightly higher Proficiency, even if he couldn’t gain any new insights, at the very least, it would make Teleportation safer.
Time slowly passed, and a puff of black smoke appeared on the horizon; the last hunting team was returning, riding the Yin Wind.
Chen Mu stood up, ready to open the gates of Thousand Lanterns City, but before he could stop the operation of the Jade Gate Curse, a very vague Perceptive feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.
This feeling...
The Ghost Gate of the You Character Flag?
Chen Mu was startled.
How could he perceive the Ghost Gate of the You Character Flag?!
A thought struck him, and a gray wall appeared before his eyes. He looked at one of the columns.
Jade Gate Curse: 3/10000/Sixth Rank;
Indeed!
