My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 772 Sacred Heart
Inside the training ground halfway up Weizhi Peak, Luo Ding frowned deeply: "Not here?"

"The Emperor's Dew is flowing frequently, and strange beasts are causing disturbances in the southwest. The Peak Master has no choice but to go and quell them," Tang Zhimu said respectfully.

Is it really such a coincidence?
When will he return?

“This…the southwest of Yizhou is vast, when will I return…” Tang Zhimu looked at Luo Ding cautiously.

Luo Ding's face immediately darkened.

"Is he deliberately avoiding you?"

"First there was that Hu Sheng, then this Chen Mu. Neither of them are any good. Are you even capable of anything, you human demon?" Green Barbarian transmitted her voice, full of dissatisfaction.

"Shut up!" Luo Ding's face grew even more gloomy.

I always felt that Jiufeng Mountain was my bad luck. Ever since I came here, nothing has gone right.

Go to the mountains to find Chen Mu?

Who knows where Chen Mu ran off to!

The southwest of Yizhou is vast; if the other party deliberately hides, finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

We have to choose someone else.

Luo Ding snorted in dissatisfaction, then turned and left.

……

"This old Deng is probably up to no good."

In a small valley south of Jiufeng Mountain, Chen Mu secretly curled his lip.

Using the Zhu Yu magic sword, he used the Listening Technique to probe Wei Zhifeng from time to time, and had already learned that Luo Ding had come to visit.

Chen Mu didn't believe that such an important person would condescend to visit him just to reminisce.

"Weizhi Peak cannot return for a while." Chen Mu looked around the small valley.

The Three Yin Demon-Slaying Blades danced, clearing away large swaths of weeds and trees. The Ground-Turning-Steel technique activated, causing the ground, rocks, and soil to rapidly shift and level.

With another wave of his hand, he retrieved an exquisite two-story building from within the Thousand Lanterns City.

He threw several breath-suppressing stones around to isolate the aura, and then used the Lesser Three Talents Concealing Light Technique to disguise the small wooden house as a huge rock.

In just a few moments, a temporary place to stay was set up.

"These years of traveling around haven't been without their benefits; at least I've honed my skills in setting up camp." Chen Mu clapped his hands, quite pleased with himself.

"The progress of the Yellow Springs Gourd is slow, so there's no rush to go into seclusion. I'll come out and hide from Luo Ding for a while, and also relax a bit."

"I can use this time to grind some Spirit Treasure Cardinals." With that thought, he walked into the long corridor at the entrance of the wooden building and lay down in the rocking chair.

He stretched his arms and legs comfortably, then pulled out the Five Ghosts Bag and began to practice the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Secret Technique.

The Five Ghosts Bag was the first magical artifact he obtained, and it possessed rare growth potential.

The Five Ghosts Paper Dolls were initially stiff and lifeless, but now they are full of spirit.

He can understand instructions and has helped him with a lot of important things. Hmm... he's washed a lot of dishes and swept up a lot of dust.

Moreover, since the ghostly spirits were put into the Five Ghosts Bag for breeding, it seems that some core of the Five Ghosts Bag has been supplemented.

The interior space kept expanding, and even with 100,000 ghosts hidden inside, it wasn't crowded at all.

As the space expanded, the magical talismans inside the Five Ghosts Bag became increasingly complex and intricate.

"Complexity is good; complexity allows for better farming of Spirit Treasures and Cardinals."

……

Half a month later, late at night, under a full moon, the golden imperial nectar descended once more.

Inside the Chaoyang Hall atop the mountain, two ever-burning lamps cast a warm glow, illuminating the hall.

Deep inside the main hall, a portrait of the Taoist patriarch of Luofu hangs on the wall, beneath which sits a long altar with an ancient incense burner on which wisps of smoke rise.

Beneath the offering table, a young Taoist priest dressed in a black robe sat cross-legged on a futon, meditating.

At one point, a thin pool of blood seeped in through the cracks in the tightly closed doors and windows of the main hall.

They flowed silently along the ground, quietly approaching the Taoist priest in front of the offering table.

Swish!
Blood-red chains emerged from the blood and bound the Taoist priest instantly.

With a flash of light, Luo Ding appeared in the main hall.

"I've already immobilized the person for you, Green Barbarian, hurry up and make your move."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright green cicada flew out from his sleeve and headed straight for the trapped Taoist priest.

The next moment.

The incense burner on the offering table suddenly flew to the top of the Taoist's head, and a crimson light fell down, instantly enveloping the Taoist's entire body.

The cicada, barely touched, let out a scream and was immediately flung away.

Thick white smoke billowed out, and the blood-red chains binding the Taoist priest instantly turned into ashes.

The Taoist priest on the futon stood up and turned around, his facial muscles twitching rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he transformed into a middle-aged Taoist priest.

"Yuan Zhen?!" Luo Ding's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints.

He stared incredulously at the incense burner above the other person's head: "You...you actually mastered the Five Rams Spiritual Treasure Furnace?!"

"Luo Ding, you colluded with the Yin Gui Sect to betray your fellow Qi cultivators. If it weren't for the protection of the elders of the Upper Academy, you would have been dead long ago!" "This is not your Sacred Heart Academy, you cannot be so presumptuous here!" Yuan Zhen's expression was cold and stern.

"town!"

With a loud shout, a beam of blazing white light shot out from the incense burner above his head, like the scorching sun in the sky, instantly freezing Luo Ding firmly in place.

In just a few breaths, Luo Ding's skin and flesh quickly swelled and broke apart, with the edges rapidly turning into clumps of mangled flesh.

"Yuan Zhen, you've been hiding your true colors well!" Luo Ding gritted his teeth.

"You want to kill me? No way!" His face was contorted with rage.

"The Heavenly Demon sacrifices himself!"

With a deafening roar, Luo Ding exploded, sending a massive shockwave surging outwards in all directions.

Yuan Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately withdrew the Five Rams Furnace to protect himself.

boom!
Chaoyang Palace was blown to pieces, and roof tiles shattered and flew away.

Immediately afterwards, the shattered flesh and blood of Luo Ding suddenly came back together.

It was as if time had reversed, instantly transforming into a perfectly intact Luoding.

Rebirth through a drop of blood?!
This is a divine power possessed only by those who have been reborn as Heavenly Demons in the True Form Realm.

How can it be? !
Yuan Zhen felt a tightness in his scalp.

In that brief moment of distraction, Luo Ding was enveloped in a surge of blood-red light, which enveloped the still dizzy emerald green cicada and soared rapidly toward the horizon.

Yuan Zhen came to his senses and tried to use magic to stop it, but it was too late.

"Isn't the Heavenly Demon form that Luo Ding cultivated the Sky-Piercing Rat?"

"How can someone be reborn from a drop of blood when their crafting realm is not yet complete?"

"The bloodline of the Sky-Piercing Rat has such power?" In the ruins of the main hall, Yuan Zhen, his face slightly pale, stared blankly at the receding bloody light.

"Could it be that Luo Ding has actually mastered the Sacred Heart Sutra?"

Yuan Zhen had read the "Sacred Heart Sutra". The first half was alright, as it was a traditional secret method for the reincarnation of celestial demons, but the second half was somewhat exaggerated and bizarre.

It requires cultivators to integrate the bloodlines of the seventy-two Yellow Springs into one body and cultivate a Yama Sacred Heart in the Artifact Creation Realm.

With this mind, one can merge the True Form and Divine Fiend realms into one, and then, with the Yama Sacred Heart as the core, directly enter the True Spirit.

This idea is far too arrogant.

Yuan Zhen thought it was just the crazy fantasy of some elders in the Upper Academy's Scripture Pavilion, and that it was impossible for it to succeed. However, he did not expect that Luo Ding would actually make a name for himself in it.

"Director, are you alright?" Two streaks of light landed, and Hu Shenglin looked at Yuan Zhen with concern.

"It's alright. Luo Ding sacrificed himself and exploded; I was only affected by the impact," Yuan Zhen waved his hand.

"Doctor, should we arrange for someone to search Luo Ding?" Hu Sheng suggested.

"That's right, strike while the iron is hot!" Lin Tu said with a look of hatred.

Fortunately, the academy had made arrangements in advance, otherwise I would have been the one attacked.

"I will personally search for them; you must guard the mountain gate closely," Yuan Zhen said solemnly.

Ordinary disciples are no match for Luo Ding, who has mastered the Sacred Heart Sutra.

"Oh, and don't forget to send a message to Weizhi Peak, telling that Fellow Daoist Chen to return as soon as possible to defend Weizhi Peak," Yuan Zhen added.

"Hey! This Fellow Daoist Chen is really shrewd, he slipped away beforehand. Did he already know that Luo Ding had a problem?" Right Supervisor Lin Tu raised an eyebrow.

"It's also possible that he's just hiding from Luo Ding, since the other party does possess his Daoist military contract," Hu Sheng said.

"In any case, this Fellow Daoist Chen is more docile than Luo Ding, so let him return to the mountain as soon as possible."

"It would be bad if we ran into Luo Ding in the wild," Yuan Zhen instructed.

……

Several days later, in the small valley.

"Colluded with demons, attacked the abbot, provoked Yuan Zhen, the chief abbot, to fight back, and was eventually forcibly expelled?"

"Ha! That old guy really does have something going on!" These past few days, Chen Mu has heard quite a few discussions through the Zhu Yu magic sword.

"When you went to Weizhi Peak to find me before, were you planning something bad?"

Chen Mu was startled.

Luckily I managed to escape beforehand, otherwise I would definitely be in trouble.

"It is said that the old man was beaten badly by Yuan Zhen, and his screams echoed throughout Chaoyang Peak."

"Tsk tsk, serves them right!"

Chen Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yes, we need to get back to the mountain quickly."

"Even if it's a weakened Luo Ding, I'm afraid I'll suffer a lot if I really run into him."

"It's better to hide back at Weizhi Peak. There's a protective formation around the mountain, and Yuan Zhen, the Imperial Academy Master who can beat up Luo Ding, so it's very safe."
