East Lake.
The sun is high and the waves are sparkling.
In the sky, a subtle spatial fluctuation flickered, and then, a man and a beast crashed into the lake one after another, almost flying.
The clear lake water was visibly stained with scarlet red as the waves stirred up.
In a water area about ten miles away from this water area, several disciples wearing the robes of the Changsheng Sect were sitting cross-legged.
Also at this moment, one of the men seemed to notice something, his eyes opened, and a compass-like object was suspended in front of him.
The man whispered:
"Eighteen miles due east, there are spatial fluctuations."
The man on the side asked: "Are you a disciple of our sect?"
"There is no trace of our sect's prohibition token. It should be a casual cultivator or a member of another family."
After saying that, the man stood up, patted his clothes, and chuckled: "Come on, come and live!"
Immediately afterwards, with the man as the leader, several rays of sword light rose into the sky, and the direction they flew away seemed to be the place where the space flickered just now.
"Wangcai, I'm going to suffer a lot of blood this time because of you!"
In the water, Chu Mu Lang scurried out, and while his body was soaked, the ferocious blood marks could clearly be seen.
As for Wangcai, he wasn't much better. He had several bloody wounds on his body and his tail was shortened. Judging from the marks, it seemed that he had been bitten off.
"Woooooooo..."
Wangcai was a little anxious and whimpered several times in succession.
"somebody is coming?"
Chu Mu frowned.
"Woooooooo..."
Wangcai whimpered twice more, and at the same time looked up at the sky in the distance.
"Go, go, go!"
Sensing the spatial fluctuations that had not yet dissipated, Chu Mu's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed Wang Cai regardless of his injuries.
The somewhat broken kamikaze boots started to move again. At this moment, one person and one beast turned into afterimages, racing across the water at extremely high speeds.
Not long after, the faint movement behind him clearly proved that Wangcai's judgment was accurate.
Chu Mu was speechless. He had just killed several wolf monsters with strong bloodlines in the secret realm.
As a result, the last time, he probably killed the wolf cub of the second-order monster. The person who was chased by the second-order monster almost had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
Fortunately, the time limit for his stay in the secret realm came and he was thrown out directly.
But as soon as this came out, why was it being targeted again?
He turned around and glanced, the white robe of the Changsheng Sect was very conspicuous.
unlucky!
Chu Mu cursed secretly, but with his current injuries and Wangcai's scars, he didn't want to get involved.
He looked down at the already somewhat broken Kamikaze boots and made a decision.
"Wind and thunder!"
With a low cry, the kamikaze boots that were broken after being chased by the second-level monster in the secret realm completely exploded again!
boom!
There was a sudden sound of wind and thunder, and at this moment, the man and the beast, who had already become afterimages, seemed to teleport.
In an instant, a large distance opened up, and in just a few breaths, it submerged into the water and disappeared.
"Slipping away so fast!"
In the sky, several people stood in the air, looking at this vast body of water. One of them complained,
"This person seems to be Chu Mu, a wanted criminal in our sect!"
Another man was slightly surprised when he sensed the remaining spirit aura around him.
"He actually escaped here and entered the secret realm!"
"Elder brother, we can sell this news as a favor!"
The man on the side looked slightly excited: "Chu Mu killed Zhao Tang, so Elder Zhao spent a lot of money..."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
The man waved his hand: "This person's methods are not weak. If you encounter him again, don't treat him like a stupid young man."
"Elder brother, don't worry, we are not stupid..."
A few people said a word, and soon they disappeared into this water area.
Chu Mu galloped for dozens of miles, and with a slight cracking sound, the speed that was originally as fast as an instant suddenly dropped.
Chu Mu lowered his head and glanced at the cracked and dim Kamikaze boots on his feet. His mind moved slightly. The completely broken Kamikaze boots fell into the storage talisman, and there was an unknown pair on his feet. The mid-grade magic weapon boots from some unlucky guy.
He raised his head and glanced at the water, then jumped from the bottom of the water until he emerged from the water.
Looking around, he roughly confirmed a direction. With the blade of his sword flowing, he grabbed Wangcai and flew away with his sword in the air.
Until they reach the shore, a worldly barren mountain comes into view. Under the light of the sword, a simple cave is visible to the naked eye, taking shape in the mountain.
He raised his hand to make a seal, and cast down a cleansing technique to clean up the entire cave. Then, while mumbling words, a miniature barrier was laid down.
Only then did he lead Wangcai into the cave.
"Heal your injuries first!"
Chu Mu waved his sleeves and threw the two monster beast corpses from the storage talisman aside.
As for himself, he took a healing elixir, closed his eyes and crossed his legs, his magic power flowing, and he stopped listening to the outside world.
Wangcai sniffed around, as if to confirm whether the environment was safe, and then bit into the two monster corpses. After devouring them all, he lay down obediently at the entrance of the cave, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The sun rose and set. It was not until nearly twenty days later that Chu Mu, who was sitting with his eyes closed, moved a little, and then slowly opened his eyes.
He waved his hand and three magical weapons were displayed in front of him.
A pair of divine boots, a robe, and a shield.
Without exception, all three instruments were damaged.
The Kamikaze boots were completely damaged after escaping from the secret realm, and this was a medium-grade magic weapon robe, and this top-grade magic weapon shield came from Zhao Tang.
But in the secret realm, the claws of the second-level monster were directly smashed to pieces, and even the shield of the top-level defensive magic weapon was directly smashed into pieces.
Recalling the flight without any resistance, Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Facing that second-level monster, it was almost crushed in all aspects except spiritual intelligence.
He had no power to resist at all.
If not...
Chu Mu touched his arms and held the talisman that he regarded as his last trump card.
The sword-shaped runes on the animal skin runes were obviously much darker than before.
Obviously, the power of this talisman has been depleted a lot.
His ability to escape from the pursuit of the second-level monsters was almost entirely due to this talisman.
However, with his current cultivation level, it is still too reluctant to use the talisman.
The three broken magic weapons in front of me are the best proof.
First he was procrastinating, but in the end he was slapped away with a claw.
Then with another claw, the shield was shattered and the robe was torn, and he was forced to use the divine wind boots to activate the wind and thunder.
Taking the risk of mana disorder and escaping for a distance, he was able to use some of the power of the talisman to stop the second-level monster.
Otherwise, he and Wangcai would probably become food for that monster.
While thinking, Chu Mu subconsciously thought of the scene in that valley where those family cultivators used formations to contain the two-headed giant snake, and then killed it with talismans.
There is no doubt that the plan of those family monks was extremely successful. The formation composed of immortal cultivators almost completely contained the two-headed giant snake.
Even if the two-headed giant snake went berserk later, the talisman fell and almost killed the giant snake.
If it weren't for the sudden change in the bloodline of the two-headed giant snake behind, that battle would have been a cross-level kill.
"Array..."
Chu Mu thought silently and was slightly moved, but in the end, he suppressed the emerging thoughts.
Everything has to wait until the foundation is established.
He raised his hand and wiped it, and the broken magic weapon in front of him, as well as this talisman, were all stored in the storage talisman.
Glancing at Wangcai, who was still sleeping, he pondered for a moment, closed his eyes slightly again, and focused his attention on the "Great Sun Sutra" in the sea of consciousness.
Since that place of inheritance, the energy and spirit have been completely perfected, and the opportunity to build the foundation has become clearer than ever.
He even had a feeling that as long as he followed the opportunity in the dark, he would definitely build a foundation.
Is it a premonition or an illusion...
he does not know.
So far, he has not found the answer.
Although he has gained a certain understanding of the Foundation Establishment Realm through other foundation-building techniques, he still doesn't know exactly how to break through and what the process of breakthrough is.
"The Great Sun Sutra..."
Chu Mu was a little worried. If a book of martial arts inheritance from ancient sects couldn't give him the answer, then he would really think of a way to find a backer.
After all, according to what he inquired about, it was obvious that the major families and the Changsheng Sect had formed some kind of unknown tacit understanding.
The Foundation Establishment Realm, including the resources and knowledge above the Foundation Establishment Realm, is strictly controlled.
What can be seen on the market are either the family traditions of some casual cultivators, the products of some cave ruins, or the individual opportunities of some cultivators.
And even these coincidences are often quickly collected by various forces.
The barrier between Qi training and foundation building is much more difficult than the leap from the worldly world to the world of immortality.
Ordinary casual cultivators, if they have perfected their Qi cultivation and want to have the possibility of building a foundation, they don't have many other options except joining a certain force to work for them.
"What exactly is the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
I felt anxious and full of questions.
His spiritual consciousness slowly touched this ancient Mahavaira Sutra.
At the moment of touch, the original simple characters instantly transformed into a big sun that illuminated the entire sea of consciousness.
The endless scorching sun was scorching, and the raging fire was spreading. Chu Mu groaned, and a faint blood stain appeared at the corner of his mouth.
And the next second, he seemed to be in the illusion of the endless sea of fire and the high sun.
The golden and simple characters, while rotating and flashing around him, were like imprints. These shining characters were directly engraved on his soul and engraved in the bottom of his heart.
It was just a glance, but in my memory, it felt like I had recited it silently thousands of times.
After about a quarter of an hour, the illusion suddenly disappeared. Chu Mu's eyes were closed tightly, and there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth, as if he was still digesting this massive amount of information about the technique...
