My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 794 Mysterious Dream
Three hundred miles away from Mingling Island.

A large gust of eerie wind, mixed with ghostly green flames, fell onto the sea and transformed into a dark cloud.

Eight or nine thin lines, trailing red flames, flew out from around the dark clouds. Like fireworks bursting open, they traced graceful arcs and flew in all directions.

Inside the cloud, a giant spirit god, as tall as a five- or six-story building, stood quietly in front of the Xuan Yuan Hall.

The armor was covered in fine golden lines that shimmered with light, and the swirling mist in the center of the face was a dazzling crimson.

Using the Zhu Yu magic sword, Chen Mu carefully explored the area within a radius of twenty miles several times before finally opening his eyes while standing on the giant spirit's shoulder.

"Three hundred li is neither too close nor too far; it should be safe for the time being."

The five thousand soldiers below remained silent, sitting obediently on the ground, their expressions uneasy, yet they dared not move.

The giant spirit, as tall as a five- or six-story building, stood there, creating a truly oppressive atmosphere.

Wisps of pale golden mist drifted throughout the clouds, sometimes flying into the crowd, sometimes disappearing into the dark clouds of ghosts.

That was the Plague Immortal's magical power.

Without the protection of the Five Banners, the demonic energy, rife with poison, spread unimpeded. It was only thanks to the Plague Immortal Technique that Chen Mu dared to lead the five thousand Daoist soldiers of the Ren Battalion to retreat.

……

Having confirmed that the surrounding area was safe, Chen Mu focused his attention on the Zhu Yu magic sword, which was located three hundred miles away near Mingling Island and was circling the island.

Compared to the flying island we encountered before, Mingling Island is not large, only about thirty miles in circumference.

The island was enveloped in spiritual light, and shrouded in mist. There was neither the spiritual light of battle nor the sounds of fighting.

"Could they all be... dead?!"

Chen Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately activated the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, set up the Yin Wind Escape Technique, and carried the Dao soldiers and the Xuan Yuan Palace for more than a hundred miles before he felt a little relieved.

Should we try to get in and investigate?
The moment that thought crossed his mind, Chen Mu immediately extinguished it.

Jiang Daojun is a high-level cultivator in True Form, comparable to a Nascent Soul, and even he got caught up in it. If I were to go and get involved myself, wouldn't that be courting death?

"hold on."

"Wait three days,"

"If there's still no result, I'll flee immediately." Chen Mu made up his mind.

……

late at night.

A full moon hung high in the sky, and all around was quiet except for the occasional sound of crashing waves.

It should have been a time for peaceful slumber, but within the dark clouds of vengeful spirits, lights still shone brightly. Groups of three or five soldiers from the Ren-character camp huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.

Chen Mu himself didn't dare to sleep.

Daojun Jiangmen has fallen, and the fate of tens of thousands of Dao soldiers is unknown. This is the greatest danger they have encountered since arriving in the Mysterious Heaven.

What if I fall asleep and get caught in the crossfire?
Staying alert is essential for making timely responses.

……

The island was quiet. Chen Mu kept a close watch on it, and time slowly passed.

In the early hours of the morning, as the temperature dropped, a thin mist rose from the sea.

The fog drifted about, sometimes thin, sometimes thick. Seven or eight red lines probed left and right within the fog.

On the steps in front of Xuan Yuan Hall, Chen Mu, lying in a rocking chair, frowned slightly.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "It should just be ordinary fog, there's no danger."

"Sigh, I'm so easily startled, I've become like a frightened bird." He shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh.

The main reason is that the disappearance of the Five Banners was so secretive and mysterious that even now, thinking back on it still makes me uneasy.

"Fortunately, although the monster's methods are sophisticated, they are not perfect. When it is activated, there will be unusual fluctuations."

"I was afraid of offending Lord Jiang, so I didn't dare to use my Listening Divine Power, which is why I didn't discover it beforehand."

"Now my Divine Hearing ability covers a radius of twenty miles. As long as that monster dares to show its face..."

"Humph!"

"I'll just set up the Gates of Hell and escape!"

"No matter how fast your secret technique is, can it be faster than my Shrinking Earth Movement?"

"Ah!"

He curled his lip in disdain. Then Chen Mu manipulated the Crimson Feather Sword to probe the fog on the sea surface three more times, inside and out.

"Strategically, we can be dismissive, but tactically, we must be cautious. Staying vigilant is never a bad thing."

Having confirmed that there was no problem with the fog, Chen Mu felt a little relieved. He glanced at the Renzi Camp not far away and prepared to close his eyes and rest again.

But as soon as I closed my eyes, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

He sat up from the rocking chair and stared intently at the Dao soldiers not far away.

Like him, the five thousand soldiers hadn't slept all night. They were still gathered in small groups, chatting and gossiping.

As Chen Mu watched and listened, a strange sense of déjà vu suddenly arose in his mind.

"The topics these people are discussing seem to be... seem to be repeating the conversations and discussions from three or four hours ago!"

"It's like a pre-recorded video that keeps playing on a loop."

"It's just that the effects lasted so long that I didn't even notice them before!"

Chen Mu's scalp tingled. His Qi Restriction technique, spanning a hundred miles, suddenly lunged at the nearest Daoist soldier.

puff!
Just like a bubble bursting, the soldier instantly turned into specks of fluorescent light and disappeared.

Just like the Five Flags that were blown up before!
Chen Muteng stood up abruptly.

The aura that could be contained for a hundred miles instantly enveloped the entire Renzi Camp.

Puff puff……

Like shattering a sky full of soap bubbles, the five thousand soldiers vanished in an instant, turning into starlight.

Silence fell instantly inside the Yin Soul Cloud Platform.

when? !

The monster that ruined the Five Banners... is nearby?!

Chen Mu's pupils suddenly contracted to needle size!
escape!
We must escape this place immediately!

gate of hell!
Chen Mu immediately activated the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, preparing to use the Ghost Gate Shrinking Earth and Shifting Form technique.

The next moment.

With a soft "poof," a ghostly creature exploded and vanished from the dark cloud.

As if triggering a chain reaction, the Xuan Yuan Palace, the Giant Spirit God, and the 100,000 Yin Souls were shattered one after another.

In just a few breaths, everything vanished, leaving only Chen Mu alone, floating in mid-air.

The moon was bright overhead, and the waves crashed all around.

Chen Mu felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

What the hell is going on?!
Having cultivated for many years, he had never encountered such a bizarre situation!

……

laugh!
A cold white light appeared silently behind them.

Chen Mu tensed up and, almost instinctively, used the Rainbow Light of Leaping Earth to instantly teleport away.

The cold white light pierced straight through the spot where he had just been standing, and then disappeared into the void.

Chen Mu, whose figure appeared hundreds of meters away, changed his expression.

If I hadn't instinctively dodged, I would have been pierced by that cold white beam of light!
Listen carefully!

Chen Mu immediately activated his Listening Divine Power, only to find that the previously invincible power had been greatly diminished. He could only sense things within a radius of five or six hundred meters, and compared to its previous power, the divine power was almost completely ineffective!
Before he could figure out what was going on, his instinctive warning surfaced again, and Chen Mu's expression changed. He transformed into golden light and fled once more.

Chi Chi Chi!
Three consecutive cold, sharp beams of light emerged from where he had just been standing.

Judging from its position, it was clearly aimed at strangling his neck, heart, and abdomen!

"You actually managed to dodge my 'Cicada Shooting Breath,' you demon, your spirit is truly agile." A slightly surprised voice rang out not far behind Chen Mu.

Chen Mu suddenly turned around and saw a strange little person with a pair of semi-transparent wings.

"It was you who caused this trouble!" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the strange little man.

"What, you demons are allowed to invade, but we're not allowed to fight back?" Wu Neng'er sneered.

"It's a misunderstanding!" Chen Mu sighed, looking like he had been wronged.

“Since arriving in the Mystic Realm, I have deliberately stayed away from fighting, and I have never personally killed any of the Mystic Realm beings.”

“We are not only not enemies, but we can even be dearest friends and family!” he said sincerely.

Wu Neng'er: "..."

Isn't your expression changing a bit too quickly?!

"You think I'd believe that?" he said with a mocking smile.

"Even if what you're saying is true, so what?"

“All those extraterrestrial demons deserve to die!” He stared at Chen Mu, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Are you trying to stall for time on purpose?" Wu Neng'er said with a calm and composed smile.

"Have you noticed? It seems that all our past supernatural powers and secret techniques are no longer usable?"

"I suspect that if your supernatural powers and secret techniques were intact, you wouldn't have bothered communicating with me at all. You would have attacked directly, fighting to the death!"

Chen Mu: “…”

Your guess was surprisingly accurate.

"Ah!"

"Human demons are indeed incredibly cunning!" Wu Neng'er said with a mocking expression.

"Let me tell you, this place is called the Dream Realm of Bewilderment. It is the dream of the Bewildering Saint, and it is the final destination for all bewildered beings."

"Only pure spirits can enter; all past supernatural powers and secret techniques are useless."

"Your spiritual senses are sharp; I really can't do anything to you."

"But you are from another realm, and are naturally susceptible to being corrupted by the allure of dreams."

"As long as you are trapped here, you will be assimilated by the dream and become a part of the Holy Venerable's dream, never to leave!"

"Haha, you're going to die!" He laughed gleefully.

Without hesitation, it vanished into the void in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu was left floating in mid-air with a livid face, unable to react in time to give chase.
