My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 488 Recuperation

Darkness.

Light gray clouds floated in the sky and the sun released cold white light.

The mountains below were completely silent. At the corner of the valley, a cold black wind would occasionally appear, then suddenly disappear.

At a certain moment, a pitch-black sphere about two or three stories high suddenly appeared in the sky.

A ball of black smoke with a long tail rushed out from it, like a meteor falling from the sky, flashing pale green flames, and smashed straight to the ground.

  boom!

At the foot of a hill somewhere, large tracts of trees fell down, broken branches and torn leaves fluttered around, and a pit seven or eight meters in size was created by the black smoke. Dust billowed all around, and dirt and gravel flew everywhere.

When the breeze blew away the dust, a giant with indigo skin, about five or six meters tall, was lying at the bottom of the pit with his eyes closed and his legs spread out, carrying a burning breath all over his body.

Soon, the giant shrank like a deflated ball, and returned to its normal human size in a few breaths.

After a long while, Chen Mu, whose clothes were tattered, regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at the cold white sun in the sky in a daze, feeling the chill in the light, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"The dark sun...it's been a long time since I last saw you."

……

Two days later, in a small valley twenty miles away from the landing mountain, the thatched-roof wooden house produced by Mingmotian was moved out of Qiandeng City and hidden among the mountains and forests.

On the corridor at the entrance, Chen Mu was lying in a rocking chair, feeling the cold breeze unique to the underworld, and squinting his eyes slightly.

Although the environment of the Yinming was not very good, compared with the Netherworld, Chen Mu immediately felt the tranquility and peace here.

"I just don't know how Shen Laogui and the others are doing."

After all, the human-made Ghost Gate is not as safe as the authentic Ghost Gate.

There was no problem when leaving the Netherworld Heaven, and there was no problem with the passage in the middle which was completely chaotic up and down, left and right, and full of turbulent currents of Venus.

But something went wrong when entering the underworld.

They hit nine invisible walls.

The wall was as soft as a film and seemed to have a recognition function, allowing them to pass through the gates of hell easily.

However, as the number of invisible barriers that were passed increased, the Ghost Gate composed of evil spirits gradually began to deform.

It's like a big ship that is glued together. After being washed repeatedly, the glue is diluted and washed away, and various parts begin to loosen and fall off.

When they passed the ninth invisible barrier, the Ghost Gate that was forcibly connected together by the Danshan Sutra completely collapsed, and the ghosts were forced to scatter.

"The preparations are still not sufficient." Chen Mu sighed.

Although he had practiced the sixth-level Yumen Curse to the limit and greatly improved his control, the strength of the Yin spirits was uneven after all, just like stones of different sizes and shapes piled together with a lot of gaps in the middle, which were all filled and maintained by the Danshan Sutra.

It is not noticeable when moving over a short distance, but once you cross the void and extend the distance, and then encounter the impact of the invisible barrier of the underworld, problems will immediately arise.

As for the scattered ghosts...

He couldn't help but shake his head.

He hadn't noticed any signs of the spirit returning in the past two days, so he thought it was most likely alive. But he had no idea where it had landed and whether the surrounding environment was suitable for survival.

"I can only wish you good luck."

They were originally a makeshift group that struggled to survive by getting together. Coming together was an accident, and scattering in all directions was a last resort.

"It's just a pity that Old Man Shen is gone."

"An old ghost who has lived for more than three hundred years must have mastered many secret spells and methods, and is also familiar with many underworld secrets. Unfortunately, the timing was wrong in the Underworld Demon Heaven, and he didn't get out much in total."

Thoughts were racing in my mind, but my hands kept moving.

After using the Di Xiang method to confirm that there was no major danger, he set up the Minor Three Talents Light-Blocking Method.

The thatched hut, which was originally hidden in a secret place among the mountains and forests, was suddenly covered and replaced by a huge stone.

After releasing the five little paper ghosts to serve as a warning, he lay in the rocking chair, basking in the sun with his eyes closed to rest.

He had been in the Dark Demon Heaven for nearly two years, and although he was safe in the Thousand Lights City, it was still an incomplete cave. If he hadn't used the Soul Guiding Lamp to simulate the light changes, a circadian rhythm disorder would have caused him a lot of trouble. Now that he had finally returned to the Dark World, he had to rest for a few days.

…………

Days passed by, and although the wilderness was cold and lonely, Chen Mu had enough food and drink, and was safe, and he could feel the comfort there.

That day, he slept until dawn as usual. After a quick wash, he took a bowl of porridge made of yellow sprout rice and dark demon sky blood fish, picked up a small wooden chair and sat at the door, basking in the cold sun of the dark, while he ate and browsed the gray walls.

At this point, there’s actually nothing much to see, it’s more out of habit.

He had more than 1,200 white jade coins on him, so he couldn't practice any of the secret techniques of the Qigong practitioners, so it was useless to watch.

Most of the secrets of the Heavenly Demon's true form have been practiced to the limit, and even the Jade Gate Curse was practiced to the limit before leaving the Dark Demon Heaven. Only the Yellow Spring Attraction Secret was left to practice.

Fortunately, the completion of the secret method does not mean the end. Although the Peaceful Heart Sutra and the Three Paths Curse can no longer bring him experience points, they can allow him to continuously collect weak water and make the true form of the celestial demon more complete.

“It’s just a little slow.”

"It's another day of remembering the ghosts."

After returning to the underworld, the aura of the Forgotten River was everywhere. The efficiency of the Three Paths Curse and the Heart Sutra of Peace increased sharply. However, compared with the previous time in the Underworld, the speed was a bit insufficient.

At that time, there were five to six thousand evil spirits in Qiandeng City. With their help from chanting the Three Paths Mantra, they moved as fast as riding a rocket.

"What a pity." Chen Mu looked regretful.

"How about...capture some evil spirits and send them into Qiandeng City?" An attractive idea suddenly came to his mind.

"No, no, no, this demon spirit seed doesn't look very decent no matter how you look at it. I had no choice before in the Dark Demon Heaven. Now that I'm back in the underworld, if I plant spirit seeds for the Yin spirits at will, that would be a crooked way." Chen Mu shook his head repeatedly: "I'm a good person, I won't do such a thing!"

As he was thinking this, he looked up and saw five little paper ghosts chasing two evil spirits, one tall and one short, running into the small Sancai forbidden area.

Chen Mu's heart tightened instinctively, and with the order of King Yama, the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed was quickly stuffed into the mouths of the two Yin spirits.

"Tell me! How did you find this place? Who is behind this? Do you want to harm me?!"

The two ghosts opened their mouths, looking confused.

……

"So, you are the subordinates of that one-horned ghost king, and you are here to check out the fire meteor a few days ago?"

There is actually a ghost king lingering in this desolate wilderness? This is trouble.

Chen Mu looked solemn.

"Just the two of you?" Chen Mu asked with a frown.

The tall, long-faced ghost didn't dare to hide it: "We came in two teams of twenty people in total. Two people in a group, searching in all directions. As soon as we got close, we were captured by your paper ghosts and brought here."

Chen Mu didn't bother to conserve his magic power and immediately activated the Di Listening Method.

Hearing the sounds from a radius of 20 miles, a blurry black and white image emerged in his mind. He indeed found more than a dozen people moving in different directions to investigate.

"Who is the one-horned ghost king?" Chen Mu asked.

"The mountains here are called Daqing Mountain, and the One-Horned Ghost King Shangyang is the master of this Daqing Mountain." The short, round-faced ghost also hurriedly explained: "It is rumored that he was once a general in Qingyang City, but was later ostracized and suppressed. In a fit of rage, he rebelled against Qingyang City, occupied the mountains here, and built a city in the mountains."

"We two are soldiers from the Qingshan City Patrol Battalion."

"A meteor fell from the sky a few days ago. The city lord was afraid that a new monster would fall into the underworld, so he sent us to investigate to prevent a disaster from happening."

  The lord of a city?

Have you ever been a general?

It's a bit troublesome.

Since he can be a general, he must be in the Divine Embryo Realm. If I were to expose myself to him, the outcome would probably not be good.

"I just want to recuperate for a few days. I don't want to cause any trouble." Chen Mu muttered twice, and activated the Di Ting Fa again. The other eighteen Yin spirit soldiers were immediately locked.

"I can only make you my own people first."

  The order of Emperor Yama!
