My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 779 The Seal of Life and Death

Two days later.

At the southernmost point of Yizhou, on a certain beach.

The white sand above is fine and smooth, and behind it is a lush green forest. A thatched hut, two meters off the ground, appears at the edge of the forest.

A warm breeze rustled the leaves, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light around the wooden house.

Chen Mu sat at a long wooden table on the veranda in front of the wooden house.

On either side of the table were several small red and green side dishes, and in the middle was a large, jade-white scallop shell the size of a washbasin. Snow-white fish slices clinging to the inner wall were sizzling, releasing their aroma.

Chen Mu, dressed in a self-made short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with flip-flops on his feet, listened to the distant sound of waves as he drank alone.

For a moment, he even felt as if he had returned to his past life.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Nourishing Wine, which made him feel more energetic the more he drank without getting drunk, made Chen Mu realize that this was not the safe and stable previous life, but a turbulent other world.

This place is considered the southernmost point of Yizhou. Having stayed in Jiufeng Mountain for more than a year and a half, Zhu Yu's magic sword has traveled thousands of miles and discovered this place long ago.

When he used the Ghost Gate technique to leave Jiufeng Mountain, he immediately made this place his base.

The environment is beautiful, and there are no powerful monsters around. More importantly, it is far enough away from Jiufeng Mountain.

……

A moment later, a streak of azure light landed, and Tang Zhimu appeared in front of the wooden house.

"Yuan Duyuan is in seclusion to recuperate, and the Left Supervisor Hu Sheng will temporarily take charge."

"The disciples have been building wooden houses and retreats these past two days, and most of them have been settled in." Tang Zhimu walked up the corridor, introducing the current situation of the people from Jiufeng Mountain while staring at Chen Mu with a strange expression.

This outfit is really out of place.

"You want it? I'll give you one?"

"No, no, no, I'm not worthy of it!" Tang Zhimu shook his head like a rattle-drum, clearly unable to accept it.

Chen Mu smiled and didn't seem to care much.

He wouldn't have dressed like this if there weren't so many people around.

Having lived in this world for over twenty years, he knew one thing very well: the most important thing was to blend in and stay out of the limelight. Being too conspicuous would only make him a target and put him at risk.

“I went to the patrol office to ask, and they said that the group of extraterrestrial monsters haven’t made any moves; they’ve just been guarding Jiufeng Mountain,” Tang Zhimu said.

It's good that there's no movement. The lack of movement means they're only concerned about Jiufeng Mountain itself, so there's no need to worry about being tracked and attacked.

"Is there any arrangement from the Upper House?" Chen Mu asked.

"I haven't heard of it," Tang Zhimu shook his head.

"The only one we can contact in the Upper Academy is Yuandu Academy. As for what to do next, we'll probably have to wait until Yuandu Academy comes out of seclusion to make a decision."

That’s okay.

They come, the security.

Chen Mu shrugged indifferently.

Thanks to the help of the Ghost Gate, 70-80% of the people on Jiufeng Mountain successfully escaped.

Now, most of them have gathered at the foot of a small hill a few miles from the beach. With thousands of disciples mixed together, chaos is inevitable. Especially in the first two days, having just narrowly escaped death, their emotions are running high, and some fighting and disputes are unavoidable.

Disliking the noise, Chen Mu went straight to the beach.

His cultivation was second only to Yuan Zhen, the Imperial Academy Master. Now that the Imperial Academy Master Yuan was in seclusion, no one dared to give him orders.

Coupled with his previous act of saving lives, which had won him many fans, no one on Jiufeng Mountain was willing to interfere, and Chen Mu himself was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Apart from moving to a different location, my life has remained largely the same as when I was in Weizhifeng.

"Unfortunately, without the support of the earth's veins, the celestial energy is insufficient to support the cultivation of the Yellow Spring Gourd," Chen Mu sighed regretfully.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared before leaving, and since the difficulty of the eighth-order Yellow Spring Gourd had increased and the cultivation speed was already slow, it wouldn't matter if he was delayed for a while.

"I'll take this opportunity to gain some experience as a Spirit Treasure Cardinal."

……

In the days that followed, Chen Mu spent his days either catching local seafood to try or enjoying the sea breeze while gaining experience points.

Tang Zhimu would come every few days to inform Chen Mu of news from Jiufeng Mountain. Only out of consideration for Yuan Zhen, the Imperial Academy Director, did Chen Mu dare not unleash his Listening Divine Power, otherwise no news would escape his ears.

In this way, half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

In front of a thatched hut by the sea.

Chen Mu looked at the gray stone door in front of him with a look of surprise and delight.

Lingbao Cardinal Chapter: The Limit.

The Thousand Lanterns City Grotto-heaven and the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Technique were truly a perfect match. These past few days, he had been focusing all his energy on grinding, and his experience points were increasing rapidly every day. In less than a month, he had mastered the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Technique to its limit.

Within the secret passage between the eyebrows, gray mist swirled, and the Yin Spirit Embryo, resembling a bright pearl and a full moon, floated in the center of the mist.

The gray mist is Netherworld Qi. Since the Yin Spirit Divine Embryo advanced to the Nine Apertures Realm of Fetal Breathing, it has gained the ability to refine Yin Spirit Divine Power into Netherworld Qi.

This energy can promote the transformation of Yin spirits into Yin deities, and has a similar effect to the pure Yang energy of Qi cultivators.

At this moment, beside the divine embryo bead, amidst the netherworld mist, a silver ribbon appeared.

The ribbons gathered and dispersed, emitting a pale silver light. They resembled a nimble little snake, swimming and coiling in the ethereal atmosphere.

"True meaning talisman?"

"It doesn't seem like it."

The secret cultivation method of Qi cultivators is fundamentally based on True Meaning Talismans. Once one enters the path, unique True Meaning Talismans will be forged from magical power. Some resemble clouds, some resemble stones, and some resemble tree branches and roots. Each time the talisman is activated, it can transform magical power and produce various wondrous uses.

"But the Spirit Treasure Core is a Yin-Yang secret technique. Shouldn't it grow unique ghost patterns on the Yin-Yang Heavenly Demon?" Chen Mu scratched his head in confusion.

The Yin-Yang secret techniques he had practiced before all grew on the body of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Demon. Once activated, they would appear on his body surface, flashy and strange, like tattoos.

Chen Mu looked at the luminous snake with its seemingly spiritual quality, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"How come it's so similar to the Dragon Ball spirit that was incorporated into the twists and turns of fate?"

He opened his right hand, and black and white light flashed. A palm-sized black moon blade and a pale white bone ball appeared above his palm, spinning around.

Originally just a magical artifact, it was later unexpectedly infused with the spiritual energy of the dragon pearl, transforming it into a magical treasure that can be stored between the eyebrows.

Furthermore, as the two completely merged, they even unleashed the supernatural powers of Yin and Yang.

Chen Mu focused his attention on the gray stone door again, and as he concentrated, various insights came from the stone door.

The Seal of Life and Death?
What the hell? !
He frowned and carefully reviewed the feedback from Shimen.

"Tsk! It really is something similar to the Dragon Ball Gigantamax."

According to Shi Men's feedback, the Life and Death Seal is the ultimate goal of the Spirit Treasure Pivot Chapter, which is to artificially cultivate such a special spiritual mechanism.

Once mastered, integrating it into the Divine Image Grotto will help the living god control everything within the grotto.

"Let's see what's different."

Chen Mu immediately focused his mind on the Cardinal Eye of Thousand Lantern City and skillfully used the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Technique.

A silver, snake-like seal of life and death suddenly appeared within Thousand Lanterns City.

It circled around the large eyeball, touching and probing it from side to side. Then, as if quite satisfied, it darted inside.

hum!
Chen Mu felt a jolt in his heart, and the familiar ocean of magical symbols appeared in his consciousness.

Similar effects were observed when using the Lingbao Pivot Technique in the past. However, those talismans were blurry and unclear then, as if viewed through frosted glass, but now each one is exceptionally clear.

Not only that.

Chen Mu's heart stirred, and a strange force of attraction was generated within Thousand Lanterns City.

His three-story building, which had stood in the center of Qiandeng City for many years, slowly floated into the air.

It wasn't absorbed by the Qi Restriction for a Hundred Miles, nor by the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains and Shifting Shifts; it relied on the power of the Thousand Lanterns City Grotto!
"interesting!"

Chen Mu became interested and enthusiastically manipulated this strange power, moving the remaining wooden houses around in Thousand Lantern City.

Before long, the few two-story wooden buildings were gathered together and arranged neatly in a grid pattern, resembling a market street.

"This is just the beginning. In the future, when we gain a deeper understanding of Thousand Lanterns City, we might be able to directly manipulate the soil and rocks to shape houses and city walls, and rebuild Thousand Lanterns City as it was back then!"

The more Chen Mu thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
