The situation is changing, the weather is unpredictable and strange.
Sometimes there are huge waves that sweep across the sky and the earth, and sometimes there are dark clouds, rolling thunderclouds, and bursts of thunder.
In the outermost ten miles, mortals can still fish in the sea, but as long as they go deeper, it will immediately become a restricted area for ordinary monks, that is, monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If you go deep into it, you will have a narrow escape.
But for Chen Mu, it was already like walking on flat ground.
even.
Wherever he looked, he could directly see the source of these strange celestial phenomena, which came from the depths of the spiritual world.
The spiritual world is a constantly turbulent world, with tides like the sea. With these tides, secret realms such as the Heavenly Palace are pushed to positions very close to the real world and manifested.
There will also be some places that are eroded, forming so-called desperate places like Jiuyi Mountain and Faceless City.
These violent storms on the boundless sea also come from fluctuations in the depths of the spiritual world. A trace of waves and turmoil will often cause a terrifying celestial phenomenon in the real world.
Chen Mu didn't care about these, and just kept walking forward. With every step he took, the void shrank under his feet, turning a thousand miles into a foot, and he crossed it with one step.
The boundless sea is full of dangers.
There are many Jedi created by the erosion of the spiritual world, and some of them can even threaten Jindan Zhenren.
Not to mention those alien races that hide in the sea and survive, there are also existences at the level of 'true demons', which correspond to real people among human monks.
But when Chen Mu restrained his aura, neither those demon cultivators in disguise nor the real demons who were comparable to real people could not notice Chen Mu's existence at all.
Chen Mu just walked on the boundless sea. He didn't know how far he walked along the way. Finally, a piece of land appeared in front of him, and gradually occupied the entire end of his sight.
"Looks like we've arrived."
Chen Mu slowed down his pace and spoke casually.
He had also encountered some islands on the boundless sea before. The larger ones were thousands of miles in diameter, but there were no traces of human existence on them. They were all areas where monsters lived.
The land that appeared this time was much larger than any previous island. Even though it was still far away, at a glance, it could already be seen that it stretched endlessly.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for escorting me all the way."
Lord Niyun's voice sounded quietly.
Chen Mu said nonchalantly: "It's not a trivial matter. Where is your Taoist cave, I will send you there."
"it's here."
Zhenjun Niyun responded simply, and then sent a coordinate to Chen Mu with his spiritual thought.
After Chen Mu nodded slightly, he stopped slightly, determined the direction, and then headed towards the direction conveyed by True Lord Niyun.
"Is Tianlan Continent more prosperous than Tianxuan Continent?"
"It was not much different back then."
True Lord Niyun responded: "It's not quite clear now, but it shouldn't be much different."
Chen Mu nodded lightly. He didn't have much interest in Tianlan Continent yet. He quietly stepped in the void, crossing a distant area one after another, and soon came to the depths of a mountain range.
After taking a closer look, he found the hidden cave of True Lord Niyun deep underground in the mountains. It was arranged in the spiritual world, so even if a monk came here, he would not be able to find the cave.
At least one has to be a top real person who can peer into the spiritual world to notice it.
It is indeed a hidden place.
"That's it."
The Linglong Tower flew out from Chen Mu's body and hovered gently in the void.
Immediately afterwards.
Lord Niyun whispered to Chen Mu again: "For the sake of Yin Yang Vine, Ming Hai and Gu Yue will not give up easily. After returning to Tianxuan Continent, fellow Taoists, they should try their best to hide in the dark and avoid meeting those two people.
"
"If you are found, don't be hostile rashly. Try to find an opportunity to retreat and help me find the Return to True Fruit or a Yuanling Flower. When my cultivation is fully restored, you and I will join forces and we will not be afraid of those two people.
.”
Chen Mu nodded calmly and said, "I will take note of your Taoist friend's reminder."
Upon seeing this, True Lord Niyun stopped saying anything and controlled the Linglong Tower to plunge into the depths of the mountains, then escaped into the cave in the spiritual world and disappeared.
Chen Mu retracted his gaze, glanced towards the mountains, and then retracted his gaze.
"Tianlan Continent..."
Chen Mu whispered in his heart.
From the Great Yuan, to understanding the Inanimate Realm, to Wujie, and then to knowing the seven realms of Tianxuan Continent, his vision has become much wider than when he first came to this world.
But so far, it is still unclear how big the Xuanling Realm is, and how many areas similar to Tianxuan Continent and Tianlan Continent are on the boundless sea.
But Chen Mu didn't think too much.
As his cultivation and strength improve, sooner or later he will be able to clearly understand the size of this world.
Chen Muhui turned around, determined the direction, and then returned along the route he came from, heading back to Tianxuan Continent.
He is not interested in Tianlan Continent for the time being.
…
Half a day later.
Chen Mu crossed the boundless sea again and returned to Tianxuan Continent.
Crossing two continents, even for a real person, is a very dangerous thing. Even a top real person who is more than ten calamities like Wuhui Zhenren is still slightly dangerous.
A crossing would take at least ten days and a half.
But for Chen Mu, who has already entered the level of a true king, it only takes one day to go there and back, and there is no danger on the way.
After setting foot on the land of Tianxuan Continent again, Chen Mu touched his chin, showing a little thought.
"Well, the materials for refining Lingbao still lack some auxiliary ingredients..."
"Do you want to visit those sects?"
Chen Mu thought slightly in his heart.
He was not very clear about the strength of True Lords such as Ming Hai and Gu Yue. Although he had heard the general level of True Lord Niyun before, it was tens of thousands of years ago after all.
If it were just what True Lord Niyun stated, with his current methods, even if one fights two, it might not be bad. However, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the opponent's strength has probably changed a lot.
after all,
They are both Nascent Soul Lords, but they also have a huge gap in strength.
According to what True Monarch Niyun said, Jindan Zhenren can induce thunder tribulations by practicing the Nine Dao Marks, break through the mysterious barrier of life and death, and unite the nine Dao Marks into one. From that mysterious and mysterious point, a new embryo is transformed, which is the Nascent Soul.
.
The Nascent Soul is based on the Dao Mark and is manifested by the fusion of the soul. It is already close to the life in the spiritual world, so it can travel through the spiritual world at will and shake the spiritual world.
And on this basis, to become stronger still has to do with Dao Mark.
Once you reach the level of the True Lord, you will have nine traces of heaven and earth attributed to you. As you continue to practice, you will master more traces step by step, incorporate them into the Nascent Soul Dharma Body, and control this great power.
From the beginning of the nine paths to the ninety-nine path marks, we have reached the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul.
One step further, when the hundred paths are unified, it is the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and he is also revered as the Great True King.
As for going up further, it is said that one has to reach the nine hundred and ninety-nine paths, which is the peak of the middle stage of Yuanying. Only by converging a thousand paths into one can one enter the last level of the True Monarch of Yuanying and enter the late stage of Yuanying.
At that time, Ming Hai, Gu Yue and others had not yet reached the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul. Now tens of thousands of years have passed, even if they still have not reached that step, they must have improved and will not stand still.
Therefore, Chen Mu is also considering improving some methods.
Today, his cultivation is still in the Golden Core realm, but he has only entered the True Lord level with his soul body. If he also raises his cultivation to the Nascent Soul realm, his strength will naturally improve to a certain extent.
However, this step cannot be accomplished in a short time. It would take an ordinary real person thousands of years to cultivate nine Dao marks. Now that Chen Mu has reached the realm of the True Lord, he does not need that much, but it still takes decades.
.
For a true king, decades are actually just a blink of an eye.
But there are true kings from other realms who may come to cause trouble at any time, so naturally they don’t have that much time.
In addition to slowly improving but making clear progress in cultivation, another way to improve means is naturally to refine a natal spiritual treasure. When the time comes to control it with the Heart Sword, its power will also be greatly improved.
It's just that to refine the spirit treasure, the main materials are already available, but the auxiliary materials are still lacking.
Chen Mu has basically never refined magic weapons before, but this does not prevent him from refining spiritual treasures. When he reaches the level of Zhenjun, many things can be learned by himself without a teacher. There is no need to learn, and he will naturally master them.
Using a streak of black and yellow energy as the main material, what needs to be refined is the thick and clear Lingbao Flying Sword. Chen Mu can roughly deduce what kind of auxiliary materials are needed.
but.
The main material is rare, but the auxiliary materials are not rare.
If you go to all the major sects in the Three Realms Land, you can always get it.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mu put aside the matter of refining the spirit treasure for the time being, called up the system interface, then found a place to stay at random, and then escaped into the netherworld with a thought.
…
The darkness has no end in sight, and black mist covers the sky.
On the boundless yellow grave soil, dark brown dried blood spreads from the end of the sight, and then flows to the edge of an unknown distance.
Chen Mu's figure slowly emerged on the grave.
This is not the first time he has entered the Netherworld after breaking through to the True Lord. Nearly half a month has passed since he cultivated the Yuanling and entered this level. During this time, he also traveled to the Netherworld many times.
For him now, the power of his heart and soul has increased many times compared to when he was a magician. It cannot even be described by simple multiples, because there is already a qualitative gap.
But even now, in the Netherworld, he still can't see through the black mist!
Not to mention the black mist.
Even if he looked at the desolate and boundless withered yellow tomb soil, he still could not directly understand its essence like he could in the real world. The most he could see was a hazy lake.
Even on the third floor of the Heavenly Palace, at the end of Huangjitian, looking into the depths of the spiritual world, this is not the case.
Just as he had guessed in the past.
The depth of the netherworld is even further than the spiritual world.
If one could reach the deepest part of the spiritual world, or even the lowest level of the spiritual world, there might be access to the netherworld, but it might still be out of reach.
At least now, if he does not have the protection of white light, he may be able to move in the netherworld, but if he touches the grave soil with his soul body or touches anything here, it may be in great danger.
After all, not being able to see through the essence means that there is still a qualitative gap.
After cultivating the Yuanling and stepping into the realm of the True Lord, he still cannot see into the depths of the Netherworld. This is actually a good thing for Chen Mu, because it means that the system is still far beyond his current realm.
This means that his current cultivation level is still insignificant to Netherworld, and there is still huge room for improvement.
"Perhaps if you reach the level where you can level a million miles with one sword, shatter the spiritual world, and cut out a celestial abyss, you can truly set foot in the netherworld."
Chen Mu recalled what True Lord Niyun had said and murmured in his heart.
Today, he can shake the spiritual world, open up an area, and retreat in a single thought. But if he cuts out a sword, it will destroy an area of thousands of miles at most, and it is limited to the current world.
The traces created in the spiritual world will be shallower.
The abyss spans the real world and the spiritual world, and even the spiritual world is almost torn to the deepest part. The terrifying power far exceeds the limit that the true king can possess.
Perhaps only when we reach that level can we truly have a glimpse of the secrets of the Netherworld.
Swish.
Without much hesitation, Chen Mu quickly harnessed a beam of escaping light and continued to move forward along the dark brown bloodstain above the desolate and boundless withered yellow tomb soil.
Although he still cannot peep into the nature of the Netherworld now, after entering the realm of the True Lord, his flight speed has become faster, and the range he can explore every time he travels to the Netherworld has also been greatly increased.
During these ten days,
Chen Mu also encountered many dead souls one after another.
These dead souls are no longer limited to the Inanimate Realm, but have expanded to the entire Infinite Area. Chen Mu simply wrote down some of the obsessions and planned to give them to Li Chenxing and others to complete.
quietly.
Chen Mu's soul walked alone in the void, escaping a long distance with every step he took.
He couldn't shrink to an inch in the Netherworld, but his basic flight speed couldn't be compared to before.
After flying like this for a while, he soon encountered several lingering shadows one after another. However, several of them were still obsessions that could not be eliminated. Only one could be eliminated, so Chen Mu made a brief note of it.
Keep going.
There is still endless desolation.
After flying over an unknown distance, something suddenly changed in front of him, causing Chen Mu's gaze to pause, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Looking carefully, I saw a black shadow gradually appearing at the end of my line of sight in the distance.
In the past, such black shadows were all raised mounds on the grave soil, but this time, looking from a distance, it clearly did not look like a tomb, but more like a building, shrouded in gray mist.
After Chen Mu paused for a moment, he moved closer and soon arrived in front of him.
"Um……"
"Has the obsession manifested itself into an illusion?"
Chen Mu stopped outside the building and stared at it carefully.
This strange area comes from a dead soul. This dead soul is of a higher level than those encountered before, so much so that it can manifest virtual phenomena. It was at least a real person during its lifetime, and may even be a real king.
A trace of obsession lingered in the Netherworld for who knows how many years. It was eroded by the environment here and gradually turned into a very terrifying state, even more terrifying than it might have been in life.
However, Chen Mu finally stepped into it.
He could tell that the obsession of a dead soul affected the outside world and manifested a virtual image, so naturally he would not be afraid.
And this is exactly what he is looking for. If he can eliminate the opponent's obsession and obtain soul points, it will definitely not be a small number, and it will probably steadily increase his strength by one level.
