Chen Mu finally wiped away all the imprints of Death Li on the blood jade ruler, and this magical weapon of unknown grade finally became completely stable.
If you look closely, you can see that the magic weapon is no longer blooming with bright red light, but is just floating in the mid-air in front of Chen Mu, rising and falling.
Swish.
Chen Mu pointed his finger, and a burst of soul power took hold of him, and he put the blood jade ruler into his sleeve.
He doesn't have much clue on how to refine this magical weapon. It will take at least some time to study it. He is not in a hurry now.
As long as the imprint of Death Li is smoothed away and allowed to settle down, he won't have to worry about suppressing it anymore.
Chen Mu called up the system interface.
[Name: Chen Mu]
【Age:17】
[Force: Power of the Twelve Elephants]
[Heart and Soul: First Spirit lv40 (+)]
[Soul points: 283 points]
After killing the dead Li and other four great demons, he had not yet had time to use the soul points gained.
Now that I have suppressed the Blood Jade Ruler and freed up my mental energy, I can finally use these soul points first.
There was no hesitation.
Chen Mu immediately consumed soul points and began to improve the level of his heart and soul.
Along with the flashes of golden light, the level of his heart and soul also began to increase level by level. He could feel waves of coolness condensing, and there was a vague feeling of a round soul melting into the world.
As his soul power gradually improved, Chen Mu gradually felt that his heart and soul seemed to be gradually approaching a perfect point, blending with all things.
It didn't take long.
Chen Mu's soul level has reached level lv46.
I can also feel more and more that the round and unified state seems to make up for the lack of heart and soul, but it also seems to make up for something else.
This kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious. Chen Mu couldn't explain it for a while. He was forced to find a way to explain it, which was like an illusory numerology.
Being born as a mortal, his fate was damaged, but as his soul power gradually increased at this level, it seemed that his own destiny was gradually being replenished, and he was gradually restored to his innate flawless state.
Chen Mu couldn't help but think of a somewhat secondary sentence.
I control my own life.
It seems that the second-level magician is already the ultimate that a mortal soul can achieve. The next step up is to truly transcend the mortal destiny, be flawless, round and unified, and break away from the shackles of heaven and earth.
"From this point of view, a first-grade magician may not be called a first-grade magician at all."
Chen Mu murmured.
The system interface has always been very meaningful in describing his realm. Even now, the second-grade magician's celestial level and his soul level have always been described as 'primary spirit'.
Chu means the beginning, which means that his heart and soul are always at an initial level.
If his judgment is correct, level 49 should be the limit of the first spirit. Beyond this limit, some unknown changes will inevitably occur, resulting in a level of sublimation.
Perhaps, it is from mortals to immortals!
If this is the case, it means that there is simply something wrong with the classification of so-called first-grade magicians.
Strictly speaking, the second level is the limit of a realm. Once it reaches the first level, it will transform into another level and a completely different concept.
"A second-grade magician should be called a first-grade magician, as he is in the same realm as a martial saint."
"First-grade magicians should be classified as super-grade. They are existences that break boundaries. To understand, they should be at the level of 'Shattered Void' or something like that in the world of low martial arts."
"But it seems that there is no such thing as Shattered Void in this world."
Chen Mu thought deeply in his heart.
The upgrade of the heart and soul from lv40 to lv46 not only brings changes in the soul power, but also makes the self closer to perfection, closer to the flawless round state.
One thought can bring heaven and man into oneness, and one thought can also create a perfect circle on its own.
Now he can feel that both the quantity and intensity of his soul power have surged compared to before, at least by nearly 50%. This is undoubtedly a huge improvement.
How terrifying is his 50% power?
Even three or five second-level martial arts masters can easily suppress him!
but.
Chen Mu was not immersed in the changes after the soul power was improved for long. He quickly came back to his senses and took a look at the changed system interface.
[Name: Chen Mu]
【Age:17】
[Force: Power of the Twelve Elephants]
[Heart and Soul: First Spirit lv46 (+)]
[Soul Points: 22 points]
After the soul power is improved, the large number of soul points previously harvested are also consumed.
There are only three smaller levels left before the limit of a second-grade magician.
If his judgment is correct, lv49 is really the limit of a realm, so to break this limit, it will probably cost a lot of soul points.
"There are still too few soul points."
Chen Mu sighed in his heart.
It would be great if he could get one hundred and eighty thousand soul points at once, but unfortunately, now, even if he has ten soul points, he still has to go there in person, no matter how little he has.
No matter whether it requires a large amount of soul points to break through the boundaries of the first-level magician, at least before that, he must first raise his soul level to the limit of a second-level magician.
"It's time to go out."
Chen Mu stood up.
After destroying the four demon gods, the obsession of that group should have been resolved to some extent, but even if there is still a little bit left, he cannot give up, and it will still be a hard work no matter what.
The door to the retreat room burst open.
Outside the retreat room was a larger quiet room. Lu Shiyun had been standing here, waiting for Chen Mu's instructions at any time. When he saw Chen Mu coming out, he immediately stepped forward to salute.
"No need to be polite."
Chen Mu waved his hand to stop him, and said casually: "I'm going out for a trip, and I'll come back as soon as I go. Chenxing will still stay here with you."
The voice fell.
He took a step forward and disappeared.
This time there was no need to bring Lu Shiyun, a native of Nanli, to show him the way. He had already become familiar with the geography of Nanli during his previous trip, and he had several maps in his mind. It could be said that
He is already more familiar with the Nanli environment than the average Nanli person.
"..."
Just when Lu Shiyun was about to say something, she saw that Chen Mu had disappeared.
She couldn't help but open her mouth.
Showing a trace of worry and anxiety.
Chen Mu had always asked her to give directions when traveling before, but this time he left her alone without saying much. This naturally made her feel uneasy and worried that she had done something wrong somewhere.
…
Chen Mu naturally didn't care about Lu Shiyun's anxiety.
The Lu family brought a lot of convenience to his trip to Nanli, so he didn't mind letting the Lu family rely on him for a while and use his name to prosper for decades.
If Lu Shiyun wanted to accompany him and follow him to leave Nanli for Dayuan, then he would not mind giving him a chance when he left.
These are unimportant trivial matters.
The most important thing now is to clean Nanli one more time.
Now that he has reached the second level, Chen Mu Yukong's flying speed can be said to be several times faster than before, reaching the level where he can easily travel tens of thousands of miles a day!
It can be said that it only takes one day to walk back and forth from Nanli.
Ningfeng City is very close to Jiuyi Mountain, only a thousand miles away, so it can be reached in an instant.
Jiuyi Mountain.
The nine towering giant peaks are arranged in a topography of five on the outside and three on the inside.
Chen Mu quietly appeared in the sky above Jiuyi Mountain. Looking down, his spiritual vision penetrated the mountains. He could easily see that vast and turbulent terrain gathered from all directions, as if turning into a surging river, guarding this place.
Nine towering peaks.
The news of the death of the demon god Suili has already spread back to Jiuyi Mountain. Almost all the monsters in Jiuyi Mountain have been in panic for the past two days.
And not only Jiuyi Mountain, but also countless monsters within a radius of thousands of miles, after learning about the incident in Ningfeng City, they all gathered here at Jiuyi Mountain.
Although Jiuyi Mountain is no longer safe, it is still a dangerous place!
It’s always safer than other places!
So when Chen Mu appeared in Jiuyi Mountain, at a glance, he could almost see monsters gathering all over the mountain, some hiding their auras, and some hiding on the edge of the middle peak.
But under his current spiritual vision, all of this is impossible to hide.
in.
The five outer peaks have the largest number of monsters gathered, and their levels are not high.
The three inner peaks further in are classified as dangerous areas. The terrain of the spiritual veins has begun to be chaotic. The power of heaven and earth is obviously distorted. There are only a few monsters close to the level of big monsters hiding.
at last.
On the edge of the middle peak, which is defined as the Jedi, there are seven or eight auras that are trying to be hidden. They all belong to the great demon in disguise. They have obviously run to the edge of the Jedi, but they dare not go in casually.
Among the monsters in Jiuyi Mountain, some have excellent vision, and some possess visual magic powers. When Chen Mu came to the sky, the monsters soon noticed Chen Mu's existence.
"hiss!!"
There was a warning whine.
Chen Mu's face was calm, and he did not deliberately hide his figure or aura, but simply took a step forward.
boom!!!
The vast coercion belonging to the second-grade magician was like the power of heaven, suddenly descending on Jiuyi Mountain, and it fell like a crushing force with a vague and round meaning that was almost transcendent of the mortal world.
How terrifying is Chen Mu’s soul power now?
Because of the blessing and strengthening of the system, he was extremely steady and steady every step he took, and his soul power, both in strength and quality, could be said to far exceed that of any second-grade magician in history.
And unlike the pressure of the demon clan and the pressure of martial arts, those pressures are only oppression at the level of will after all, while the magician is the real power of the heart and soul, which is close to substantial pressure!
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Some low-level monsters could not withstand this terrifying pressure, and their bodies and souls collapsed on the spot and exploded into a ball of blood mist.
Even some high-level monsters couldn't bear it. They were all crushed to the ground, with frightened expressions in their eyes.
But Chen Mu didn't stop.
In Nanli, there is no monster that does not eat humans. All high-level monsters more or less feed on humans and accept offerings from those Nanli people.
Perhaps this is the ecology of Nanli, and even the local people in Nanli have recognized it.
But what Chen Mu wants to do is to rewrite the world of Nanli!
He raised his feet and stepped forward.
The vast soul power connects the heaven and the earth, and suddenly manifests a dharma image of heaven and earth that stretches nearly two thousand feet, standing between heaven and earth, like a god descending into the world.
This majestic statue looked exactly like Chen Mu. He made exactly the same movements, raised his feet and stepped on the nearest mountain peak.
boom!
The earth trembled and the mountains shook.
With this kick, countless monsters were directly crushed into pulp.
The only thing that slightly surprised Chen Mu was that the mountain body of Jiuyi Mountain did not deform greatly under his foot. Only the trees on the surface were all crushed and the mountain body only shook slightly.
Its toughness is beyond imagination.
"It's indeed something special."
Chen Mu stared at the mountain carefully and did not see any special material. It was just that the mountain contained extremely thick and turbulent earth veins, making the entire mountain almost unshakable.
Chen Mu almost flattened a Jiuyi Mountain with one foot, and all of a sudden the other peaks were filled with howls of ghosts and ghosts. Countless monsters fled in panic and trampled on each other.
Many monsters rushed into the dangerous area of Neisan Mountain in panic, and then their bodies suddenly solidified without warning, and then exploded into a ball of blood mist with a bang.
This scene was also seen by Chen Mu.
"I see."
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
The terrain of the spiritual veins in the Outer Three Mountains is already thick to a terrifying level, and the Inner Three Mountains have overflowed on their own. Just like three volcanoes, any position may suddenly erupt with the impact of the terrain.
Under this kind of impact, unless it is a great demon in disguise, ordinary monsters cannot resist it at all and will be turned into ashes in a short time.
No wonder the three inner mountains of Jiuyi Mountain are defined as dangerous areas.
It is indeed a dangerous place!
You must at least be at the martial arts master level to be able to step into it and explore.
However, this level of danger is nothing to Chen Mu. Although this spiritual vein is so terrifying that he cannot shake it at all, let alone control it, it is impossible to hurt him.
"Heaven and earth ashes."
Chen Mu bent forward a little.
Qianzhang Faxiang suddenly raised his arms high, as if he was holding the sun.
The whole world became dim in an instant, as if the endless brilliance was grasped by the hands of the thousand-foot-long Dharma, and then gathered together, turning into a dazzling brilliance.
Then he was swept down by Qianzhang Faxiang with his sword.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four swords in succession.
Except for the first one that was stepped on, the other four outer five peaks of Jiuyi Mountain were directly burned into bare mountains, and both trees and monsters were burned cleanly.
Only the mountain, which was brewing with heavy terrain, was not melted and burned.
Immediately afterwards.
Chen Mu swung his sword and slashed at the three inner mountains.
His sword could still leave a huge mark on the outer five mountains, but when it fell on the inner three mountains, it could only leave an extremely weak mark.
The ashes of heaven and earth were slashed, leaving only black charcoal traces in a small area.
However, all the monsters gathered in the outer five mountains were slaughtered, and there were not many in the inner three mountains. They were quickly wiped out one by one by the sword light, and they were completely wiped out.
Chen Mu moved forward and entered the area of the three inner mountains.
As soon as I stepped in, I immediately felt a kind of oppression, which suddenly fell on me. It was as if the power of heaven and earth had been distorted and changed, forming a completely different realm from the outside world.
Although this kind of oppression is nothing to Chen Mu, it is enough to make him show a little strange color, because now he is using the void to control the air, standing above the Inner Three Mountains!
It’s not like stepping on the mountain!
It can be affected even in the sky above the inner three mountains. The name of the dangerous place is indeed worthy of its name.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time Chen Mu has truly stepped into a dangerous place. Previously, when he accompanied Lin Yue to get the Qingyou Fruit in Youzhou, the place he entered was hardly a real dangerous place.
The inner three mountains of Jiuyi Mountain are more dangerous than the outskirts of the Jedi, so as soon as you step in, you can clearly feel the power of the world that is completely different from the outside world.
Chen Mu's eyes fell on the center of Jiuyi Mountain.
There is one of the Seven Jedi in Nanli.
The peak of Jiuyi Mountain!
Chen Mu had long seen the large transformed monsters hiding on the edge of the middle peak, but he did not rush to take action. Instead, he first cleaned up the monsters on the periphery of Jiuyi Mountain.
Because these great transformed demons are very useful pathfinding stones.
As a legendary Jedi, the middle peak of Jiuyi Mountain is indeed worthy of this name, because even at Chen Mu's current level, looking at the middle peak, it still seems like he is looking at a fog!
Spiritual vision cannot penetrate!
The entire mountain is not shrouded in fog, but is strangely shrouded in darkness. It is still daytime outside, but this mountain seems to be a completely different world, in eternal night!
Even standing here, very close to the middle peak, I still can't see anything about the mountain, and even my perception seems to be completely cut off.
"This is the Jedi..."
Chen Mu stared at the peak of Jiuyi Mountain, his eyes showing a little solemnity.
If the thickness of the spiritual vein terrain of the five peaks outside Jiuyi Mountain is normal, then the three inner peaks have been completely distorted. Logically speaking, there should not be such a condensed terrain in the world. It has almost made this whole world.
Distortion occurs.
As for the final middle peak, the terrain of the spiritual veins can no longer be sensed at all, and it is impossible to imagine how twisted it is inside.
No wonder they are called Jedi!
No wonder even Wu Sheng is unwilling to enter.
If you step into such an unknown place, even a martial saint will really be in danger of his life. A second-level magician may be better off, but there is definitely danger.
"No wonder Shili can live so long."
Chen Mu stared for a while, and his eyes returned to calmness.
When hiding in a place like this, those martial saints and heavenly masters who had been to Nanli were indeed unwilling to chase them in. Even he would not want to go in.
But it has come.
You should study it no matter what.
As soon as Chen Mu thought of this, he put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together to form a sword and pointed towards somewhere on the edge of the middle peak.
Buzz!!
A powerful sword light poured out like a surging river.
In that direction, a great demon in shape was hiding its aura and trying its best to hide. When it saw the mighty sword light approaching, its expression suddenly changed, and it felt the power within it, revealing a hint of horror.
Without any hesitation, he sprang out from his hiding place, turned into an afterimage, rushed towards the Zhongfeng Jedi, which was just around the corner, and then sank directly into it.
Chen Mu's sword light also chased in directly.
laugh.
The sword light slightly tore apart some of the darkness at the edge of the middle peak.
What is revealed inside is a corner of a mountain that looks unremarkable.
It was as if a light was shining on a corner in the dark night. As the sword light disappeared, the unremarkable mountain quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Something interesting."
Chen Mu looked thoughtful.
Then he raised his hand again, and a few more rays of sword light were swayed casually.
The other hidden transformed monsters were all forced out by his sword light. Some were directly obliterated by the sword light, while others fled into the Jedi in embarrassment.
The sword light tore apart a little of the darkness again, revealing a little of the interior scene.
It is still an ordinary mountain.
You can even see some very ordinary trees growing.
The nearby darkness soon surged back, swallowing everything up again, and the several transformed monsters disappeared into the darkness, never to be seen again.
Chen Mu frowned slightly.
Whoosh!
A sword was swung out.
Another great shapeshifting demon was forced into the desperate situation.
This time something unexpected happened.
In the darkness torn apart by the sword light, what appeared was still an ordinary mountain, but on this mountain, there was a seemingly ordinary mountain path.
The big monster that rushed in landed directly on this mountain trail.
Then it solidified without any warning.
At the last moment when the darkness submerged everything inside, Chen Mu saw that the body of the big demon, starting from the head, began to weather inch by inch, as if it had experienced tens of millions of years in an instant.
"what is that?"
This time Chen Mu also showed a look of surprise.
Whoosh!
He drew his sword again.
The sword light split the darkness there, and the mountain path was visible again.
It's just that on this mountain trail, the figure of the great transformed demon can no longer be seen. Not even a speck of dust can be seen, as if it has completely disappeared.
quietly.
Darkness once again flooded everything, once again covering Chen Mu's sight.
"..."
Chen Mu's expression became extremely solemn.
Although he was able to turn a large transformed demon into ashes in one fell swoop, the mountain trail just now was mysteriously annihilated without any warning.
And from here, you can't see anything special at all.
Perhaps it was because of the isolation between the inside and outside. If he entered inside, with his ability as a second-grade magician, he should be able to feel the specialness of the mountain path and avoid such dangers.
But even if he could avoid it, Chen Mu was still reluctant to go in rashly because of the strangeness that could cause a great demon to be annihilated into ashes silently.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Chen Mu began to circle around the Zhongfeng Jedi, and continued to slash out sword lights one after another.
These sword lights were almost all shot with full strength, but each sword light could only tear through the darkness of about a few feet on the middle peak, and slightly see a small part of the scene inside.
The most eerie thing is that every part of the mountain exposed in the darkness looks so ordinary and ordinary. If it were not hidden in this weird darkness, it would be no different if it were an ordinary hill.
.
But at this time, obviously the more ordinary it is, the more terrifying it is!
Chen Muyue observed,
His eyes became more solemn.
The feeling that this mountain gave him was not as terrifying as the Netherworld. It should be much worse than the boundless grave soil and the dried black blood on the grave soil. But the problem was that he had no systematic protection here.
If the system's white fluorescent body protection could be obtained, then even if he walked in without hesitation, there would probably be no problem. However, except for the white fluorescence that would appear when wandering into the underworld, it would not be possible to obtain it at ordinary times.
It seems that it will only provide him with protection when he enters the underworld.
"This weirdness and horror is not as weird as the Netherworld, but it is still higher than my current level. At least I can't find such a place no matter what."
Chen Mu judged in his heart.
With his current level, he should be able to get in.
You should be able to avoid some dangers after entering, and at least walking around the outside should be fine.
But it’s hard to say more deeply.
The area further inside was hidden in deeper darkness. Even the light of his sword could not break through the darkness and could not see the specific situation inside.
"never mind."
Chen Mu finally shook his head.
There is no need to take risks in this unknown situation.
He has a systematic existence, and sooner or later he can cross the threshold of the second level and step into the first level of magician or even higher. By then, if you want to know what is in this Jedi, just come here again.
Whatever is weird and terrifying is pushed aside.
As for the few transformed monsters that ran in, they probably wouldn't survive in such a weird place. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they might not dare to step out of Jiuyi Mountain after experiencing this incident.
finally.
Chen Mu took a deep look at the middle peak of Jiuyi Mountain, then converged his gaze, controlled a beam of light, and disappeared into the distant sky.
