My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 765 Mysterious Sky

Outside the wooden house at Weizhi Peak.

"Tell the people from the inspection team to be on high alert, and to notify me immediately if anything seems amiss," Chen Mu carefully instructed.

"Is the Imperial Censor worried that extraterrestrial demons will descend?" Tang Zhimu asked solemnly.

"It's hard to say," Chen Mu sighed.

Back in Haizhou, demons suddenly broke through the air and caused heavy casualties. He didn't want it to happen again.

"The sooner we discover it, the sooner we can escape... no, the sooner we can defend ourselves!" he solemnly ordered.

You were just talking about running away, right?

Tang Zhimu frowned and looked at Chen Mu.

That's how it was at Tangshan Academy; at the slightest sign of trouble, this Chen Duyuan would immediately pack up and run away.

You are a dignified Foundation Establishment Qi Refining cultivator, how can you be so cowardly!
"Don't worry, Chief, I'll go and move Wei Zhifeng's inventory into the dragon bone boat shortly." Tang Zhimu said earnestly.

Chen Mu: “…”

There's no need to be in such a hurry.

"You handle this personally, and you must not let the news leak out."

Tang Zhimu immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and hurriedly left.

"Yes, I'm just taking precautions, I'm definitely not planning to run away with the bucket!" Chen Mu said with certainty.

As he watched Tang Zhimu leave, he looked up at the sky, his mind still preoccupied with the matter of Di Liujiang.

Is it because the Great Demon of the Mysterious Heaven invaded the outer stars?
Chen Mu was unsure.

What if it affects Taiwan...

Ugh……

"Since things have come to this, let's focus on gaining experience first."

After pondering for a while, Chen Mu sighed and then used the Yama's Devouring Divine Power to engulf the strange beast as usual.

"Hmm? The quality of the beasts seems to have improved somewhat this time?"

"Tsk, that's one of the few pieces of good news."

……

Time passes day by day.

Yuan Zhen, the chief of the capital, contacted the upper court but did not receive any useful information. He only confirmed that the Emperor's Flowing Dew was indeed related to the Mysterious Heaven.

The Huangquan Sect's upper academy didn't specify the exact reasons or what changes might occur afterward, seemingly because it involves some kind of secret.

On Weizhi Peak, Chen Mu would occasionally release the Zhu Yu magic sword to probe the surrounding hundreds of miles.

Several days passed, and the surrounding area remained calm, as if the strange phenomenon of the Emperor's fluids had never occurred.

As time passed, the commotion caused by the arrival of the Emperor's Dew gradually subsided.

Then, a month later, on a night with a full moon in the sky.

Golden raindrops fell from the sky, and the Emperor's Dew descended once more.

……

"The Luofu Daozheng sect of the Upper Sect led the Huangquan sect in a counterattack against the Heavenly Misty Heaven. The strange phenomenon of Emperor's Flowing Dew was caused by the collision between the two realms," Yuan Zhen explained inside the Zhaixing Hall on Zhaixing Peak.

Two months later, the Upper Court of the Yellow Springs Sect finally released some less secretive information.

"Just like the moon rising in the east and setting in the west, the Emperor's Dew is a unique celestial phenomenon in the Mysterious Heaven."

"When the two realms collided and influenced each other, the strange phenomenon of the Emperor's Dew flowing out occurred here."

"Moreover, it's not just our Yizhou; the entire thirteen states of Baiyitian have been affected."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu and Hu Lin, the two supervisors, exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Firstly, the fact that I finally know the clear reason for this change has greatly reduced my psychological pressure.

Secondly...

It's better for all parts of the world to suffer together than for only the barbarian lands to suffer.

"Can the Upper Court say what adverse effects this imperial fluid has?" asked Lin Tu, the Right Supervisor.

"The Mysterious Heaven is teeming with monsters, and it is said that this is due to the Emperor's Dew." Yuan Zhen said solemnly.

"According to the Upper House, it can stimulate the transformation of the bloodline of strange beasts and monsters. Strange beasts that bathe in the Emperor's Dew are more likely to develop demonic power and awaken their spiritual wisdom."

Demonic power? Spirit awakening?
This is not good!

Chen Mu frowned. Ordinary beasts would instinctively seek out spiritual lands to advance further, let alone monsters that had awakened their spiritual intelligence.

The Jiufeng Mountain is a place with abundant celestial energy due to its innate earth veins, making it the best spiritual land in the southwest of Yizhou.

What if it attracts a large number of monsters to seize and attack...?

"Don't worry, our Jiufeng Mountain is located in a remote and barren area, and there are no strong groups of strange beasts within a thousand miles." Right Supervisor Lin Tu didn't care at all: "Even if the strange beasts transform into demons, that should be a long time from now."

"We must not let our guard down," Yuan Zhen said, shaking his head.

"Effective immediately, the salaries of the Inspection Institute will be increased by 30%, the staff will be doubled, and the scope of inspections will be expanded."

"Before a beast awakens its spirit, it usually becomes irritable. With careful observation, this can be detected early."

"At that time, we can either drive them away or kill them, and there shouldn't be any major problems."

"You lot should also keep busy and patrol the surrounding area regularly, just in case," Yuan Zhen instructed earnestly.

The men clasped their hands in greeting and accepted the order.

They chatted a bit more about the potential dangers before leaving one by one.

……

The summit of Weizhi Peak.

Chen Mu sat in front of the thatched hut, deep in thought.

run away?

Where can you run to?
The Emperor's Dew swept across thirteen provinces, the same everywhere. Unless one went to a remote, desolate island overseas, but the soil there was weak and the vital energy barren, making it impossible to support cultivation.

Jiufeng Mountain is located in a remote and barren area, and its wild beasts are not strong. Yuan Zhen, the chief administrator, had considered all aspects and had taken precautions in advance.

Moreover, each peak has complete protective laws and regulations, so staying on Jiufeng Mountain might actually be safer.

"Tsk, this is the only way for now." After thinking it over for a while, Chen Mu sighed helplessly.

……

Several days later, a thatched hut on the mountaintop.

Chen Mu stared at the gray stone gate reflected in his eyes with a strange expression.

"This imperial nectar doesn't seem to be all bad."

Yama's Devouring Power allows him to consume exotic beasts, which can assist the Heavenly Demon Armor in its cultivation. However, an ordinary exotic beast will only increase the Heavenly Demon Armor's experience by a few to a dozen points.

But ever since the strange phenomenon of the Emperor's Dew Flowing has occurred, this value has actually become twenty or thirty!
He had suspected it before, but initially thought it was just bad luck.

Now it seems that it was all because the alien beasts were affected by the Emperor's Dew, causing their bloodlines to revert to their ancestral state and undergo a transformation!
Chen Mu had an idea and immediately summoned Tang Zhimu, asking him to increase the purchase of exotic beasts.

He postponed the new round of cultivation with the Yellow Springs Gourd that was originally scheduled to begin. Apart from using the Crimson Feather Sword as his eyes and ears to guard the area around Tail Peak, he spent the rest of his time pondering the secret techniques of the Heavenly Demon Armor.

Several days later, outside the thatched house, on the porch in front of the door.

Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair and summoned the gray stone door.

Heavenly Demon Armor: 1267/10000/Ninth Rank;

"In just seven or eight days, I gained over a thousand experience points,"

"I guess this is a case of turning misfortune into blessing."

Chen Mu chuckled as he examined the jade seed inside his body.

At this moment, three more layers of dark green spiritual light spheres with constantly changing auras appeared outside the golden Dao base.

Including the initial layer, there are now four layers of Heavenly Demon Armor, firmly protecting the Dao Foundation at the center.

The condensed amber-like energy outside the body also expanded to a distance of six meters.

"Armor-blocking is great, I like armor-blocking."

"It's a pity that this has to be the end for now." Chen Mu said with some regret.

There weren't many powerful beast colonies around Jiufeng Mountain to begin with, and he'd practically devoured them all in the past few days through his massive acquisitions.

Unless the bloodline of the alien beast continues to evolve, it is unlikely that this will allow for a significant increase in experience in the short term.

"If a few more imperial dew flows were to occur..."

"Uh, never mind, I'd better not come."

The Emperor's Dew can accelerate the awakening of spirits and the transformation of alien beasts into demons. If this happens a few more times, it might lead to great chaos.

He would rather the Heavenly Demon Armor's cultivation be slower than chaos and turmoil.
