My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 456 Limit
After the initial chaos, the camp quickly returned to calm.

Chen Mu continued to leisurely grind experience points in Thousand Lanterns City.

He thought Shen Yan would try to persuade him indirectly, but the guy acted as if nothing had happened and obediently continued watering and planting.

Chen Mu observed Shen Yan for several days with unease, but finding that Shen Yan made no extra moves, he simply stopped interfering.

He recited the "Peaceful Mind Sutra" all day long, and as his experience increased, more than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye. Now he is able to give up reciting the mantra.

On this day, as the Pingxin Sutra was activated, a familiar cool aura surged in, and his body immediately felt full of vitality.

"It's quite strange that such a life-giving power could exist in the River of Oblivion, which is like a river of sulfuric acid." Although it wasn't the first time he had summoned it, he couldn't help but marvel.

Release the control, letting the trickle of water flow into the space between your eyebrows. Just as you're about to continue your cultivation, the secret acupoint between your eyebrows suddenly begins to throb.

He glanced at Shen Yan, who was diligently watering the plants next door, and immediately got up and went into the room.

He released the true form of the Heavenly Demon and immersed his consciousness into it, immediately sensing a change.

The silver ghost patterns covering his entire body flickered, radiating a silver glow as if he were breathing.

The scattered, special forces, like sparks, emanate from within the ghostly network.

Then this power started moving upwards from the soles of the feet. It drew and gathered along the way, passing through the legs, chest, abdomen, and between the eyebrows, and finally, with a hum, accompanied by a gentle vibration in the air, a round bead the size of a walnut shot out from the top of the head.

The next moment, a bright white light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the dim room.

After a while, the light dimmed and the indoor lighting returned to normal.

The bead still glows, but it is no longer dazzling; instead, it is as warm and smooth as a luminous pearl.

"This is... a divine embryo?!" Chen Mu was overjoyed.

……

"It's just a prototype!" Shen Yan looked at the round bead radiating a warm white light above Chen Mu's head with a shocked expression.

This bead is round and shiny, like a perfect sphere.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is merely a visual illusion. The warm white light emanating from it creates this illusion; it actually resembles a hollowed-out sphere made of silk threads.

“When this bead becomes perfectly sealed without any gaps, it means the divine embryo has been successfully formed,” Shen Yan said with a complicated expression.

"What a waste of your time..." Chen Mu pouted.

He thought he had cultivated a divine embryo.

"You should be content!" Shen Yan retorted irritably.

"It would take an ordinary person at least two or three years to reach your level."

"How long have you been training? Only two or three months! What more do you want?"

"Really?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, hard work pays off!"

Shen Yan's eyes twitched as he listened.

You, who goes to bed early and gets up late, and spends every day trying different ways to grill meat, dare to call yourself diligent?!

Do you have any shame?

"Are you talking badly about me?" Chen Mu squinted at Shen Yan.

"No, I was just amazed by your diligence and hard work," Shen Yan said calmly.

Chen Mu was full of suspicion. Although the guy was telling the truth, something felt off.

Forget it, he's a three-hundred-year-old ghost, he's senile, I won't bother with him.

Chen Muxi happily mixed out the gray wall.

The Heart Sutra: 8779/10000;

"Proficiency in the 'Pingxin Jing' can indeed accelerate the cultivation of the divine embryo."

"Once it's fully refreshed, it will definitely be faster."

"A hundred years? That's only the speed of a lazybones. With my efforts, I definitely won't need a hundred years!"

……

a few days later.

City of Thousand Lights.

"The summoning banner has gone out of control again?" Chen Mu paused, his chopsticks holding vegetables.

Shi Dechun nodded as he swallowed the piping hot roasted meat with a hissing sound.

"This time it seems to be more serious."

"The summoning banner went berserk and ran wildly around as soon as it was lifted into the air, and it took a while to return to normal."

Blood nerves?
That sounds really impressive.

“This General Lan is probably really in trouble,” Chen Mu nodded in agreement.

"The true form of Lan Zhang's Yin spirit is a Crimson-Eyed Water Ape." Shen Yan, sitting opposite him, said calmly, "Water apes have a habit of worshipping the moon, and whenever a water ape worships the moon, Lan Zhang's own power will greatly increase."

"But since he has changed his cultivation method to the Netherworld Demon Blood Nerve, he is no longer a pure Yin spirit, and this increased power has become a scourge. With the two powers clashing, it is inevitable that he will go mad and lose control."

Chen Mu suddenly realized. He then looked at Shen Yan opposite him with a puzzled expression.

Based on past practices, Shen Yan should have taken this opportunity to persuade him to deal with Lan Zhang, but today he remained silent.

"Now that we know Lan Zhang's weakness, a golden opportunity is right in front of us. Why don't you keep urging me on? Don't you want to bring Lan Zhang down?"

If I really urge you, will you take action?
Ah!
With your cowardly attitude, there's absolutely no way to count on you!
Shen Yan said calmly, "What kind of opportunity is this? Only when Lan Zhang kicks the bucket would it be an opportunity, didn't you say?"

Chen Mu: “…”

I have a feeling this guy is being sarcastic or mocking towards me.

Sure enough, I haven't done enough splits!

……

late at night.

Inside the central stone hall of the Hai-character camp.

Countless eyes suddenly opened in the shadows on the left.

"Are you sure Shen Yan will take any action?" The Blind Child asked, full of doubt.

Lan Zhang, leaning back in the stone chair, raised an eyebrow: "So composed indeed?"

Despite showing signs of losing control twice in a row, Shen Yan remained completely unmoved. This was quite different from the Shen Yan she remembered.

"Once bitten, twice shy; it seems our Supervisor Shen has become much more cautious."

"What if he doesn't take any action?" The Blind Boy couldn't understand where Lan Zhang's confidence came from.

"It can move." Lan Zhang chuckled.

"He is the military supervisor of the Hai Battalion."

"During his tenure, the commander of the Hai-character camp defected to the Netherworld Demon Heaven, the Ghost Gate Soul-Summoning Banner was lost, and hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers were swallowed up. He could not bear such a great crime."

"The loss of the ghost soldiers is not too bad, but the Soul-Summoning Banner involves the path of Lord Jian of Jigu City."

"If we lose this flag, even if Jian Chan is magnanimous, he will still be thrown into the deepest hell and burned to death."

"If he wants to atone for his sins and save his life, he will definitely take action."

"Shall we continue the performance?" asked the Blind Boy.

"play!"

"If two times doesn't work, try three times."

“When it comes to his own life, no matter how calm he is, he will eventually be unable to resist taking action!” Lan Zhang said with certainty.

……

Shen Yan, whom Lan Zhang considered to be very composed, was currently frowning with worry.

He does want to take action.

But he can't move!

Glancing at Chen Mu, who was swaying back and forth in a rocking chair next door, Shen Yan chanted incantations to collect jade dew to water the plants while sighing inwardly.

"When will this ever end?"

Shen Yan was annoyed.

Chen Mu, lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, was also annoyed at the moment.

The gray wall appeared before his eyes.

The Heart Sutra: Limits;

Staring at the Pingxin Jing entries that I had mastered, a series of insights welled up in my mind.

He has completely mastered the secrets of this technique. Now, with a mere thought, he can make the Yin Spirit power vibrate and circulate according to a special rhythm. This, in turn, draws upon the Weak Water within the source of the River of Oblivion, promoting the return of his supernatural powers and ghostly patterns to their origins.

"Shen Yan said it takes a hundred years to cultivate a divine embryo. That's complete nonsense!"

"With my level of mastery of the Pingxin Sutra, I'll only have seventy or eighty years at most."

"This speed...this speed is fucking slow!"

Chen Mu looked worried and distressed.

"The Pingxin Sutra is ultimately a universally applicable secret method," he sighed helplessly.

To make it easier for anyone to learn, it is inevitable to reduce the difficulty of secret techniques. Even if the intention is lofty and one masters them to the top, there will be improvement, but it will ultimately be limited.

More importantly, the Netherworld is too far from the River of Oblivion.

"The Divine Aperture is so difficult to cultivate, yet it only took four or five years to almost complete it."

"The Yin Spirit Embryo actually takes seventy or eighty years to even begin!"

"Isn't this a bit too difficult?"
