My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 801 The Seal of Life and Death

"Didn't Daojun forbid us from leaving Mingling Island? Where did you get so many monster corpses?" Chen Mu asked, puzzled.

“They’re on the island,” Wu Jie explained.

Is there any fish that slipped through the net?

In the past, every attack on the flying island was a ruthless annihilation, so why this time...?

“We did try to eliminate the monsters on the island before, but Mingling Island is quite special. New monsters appear every now and then, which is very strange.” Wu Jie didn’t know either.

"Everyone speculates that it might be related to the island itself," Wu Jie said mysteriously in a low voice, gesturing with his chin towards the center of the flying island.

Chen Mu nodded knowingly.

It's not surprising that Mingling Island could get Jiang Daojun onto the Investiture of the Gods list; it's somewhat special.

Maybe the island itself can generate monsters.

……

After seeing Wu Jie off.

Chen Mu took out a mustard seed talisman from the wooden box and inserted his magic power into it like a probe.

puff!
A humanoid monster, four or five meters tall, fell out of the mustard seed talisman.

It has long arms and a slender body, resembling a stick insect.

It has no hair on its body and its skin is grayish-white.

His head, almost severed by a sharp blade, was completely bald, with only a thin sliver of skin connecting it to his neck.

It has nothing on it except a big mouth full of sharp teeth, no nose or eyes.

The blood congealed near the wound was a bluish-green. Even though it had been dead for quite some time, it could still emit a faint glow, carrying a slight trace of life.

Behind him were a pair of semi-transparent black wings, half a meter long. Compared to his height of four or five meters, these exquisite wings were almost useless and more like decorations.

"She's really ugly," Chen Mu said, pursing his lips.

After taking a few glances and not noticing anything special, he habitually summoned the Giant Spirit God and used the Plague Immortal Technique to remove the demonic poison.

Only when he sensed the faint life pulse belonging to the demonic poison did he suddenly realize that something was wrong.

"The Five Banners shroud Mingling Island, keeping the demonic energy outside the island. How come these newly born demons still have demonic poison in their bodies?"

"Is demonic poison spread through more than just demonic energy?"

Chen Mu had a guess in his mind.

If a single Five Elements Flag could completely eliminate the demonic poison, then delirium would occur.

It would be more reasonable if there were other ways to spread the word.

Chen Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He opened the mustard seed talismans in the wooden box one by one, removed the demon poison from the monster corpses, and sent them into the bottomless pool one by one.

He discovered that although these monsters were uniquely ugly, they all had a pair of rather beautiful transparent wings.

This reminded him of the strange little man he had burned to death with his Seven Emotions Flames; the man also had a pair of transparent wings.

"So, that handsome little guy is the real monster from Mingling Island. And these are all defective products from failed gestation?"

"Ah!"

"That's actually quite possible."

If they hadn't occupied Mingling Island, perhaps after a while, a new group of beautiful little people would have appeared and taken control of Mingling Island again.

……

this day.

Chen Mu lay in the sun at the entrance of Qingyu Xianju as usual.

A semi-transparent gray stone gate appeared to float before his eyes.

The stone gate is tall and wide, like a wall. Only by looking at it from a distance can one discover that it is a majestic stone gate.

Unfortunately, while the boundaries can be seen on the left and right, the top is still obscured by clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the end above.

"Only after I cultivated the foundation of the Dao was I able to broaden my vision and see the boundaries to the left and right."

"Now that I've successfully crafted this spiritual treasure and passed the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, the stone gate remains completely unresponsive."

"Is it because my own cultivation level hasn't improved?" Chen Mu guessed. Ever since he came to this world, the gray stone gate had been by his side.

Each change seems to occur only after a fundamental transformation within itself.

"The next change will probably have to wait until I've cultivated my primordial spirit."

After glancing at it for a while, Chen Mu pulled the stone door closer and looked at the various secret techniques on it.

As he looked around, he noticed something unusual.

"There aren't that many experiences with the Seven Emotions Curse, are there?" Chen Mu frowned and stared intently at one of the columns.

Seven Emotions Spell: 9012/10000/Second Tier;

He was wary of the Heavenly Demon Path's ability to refine the seven emotions of others, and had never actively practiced the Seven Emotions Spell. At most, he used it to confirm the emotions of others, as a supplementary security check technique.

But now that the upgrade is about to happen, something is clearly wrong.

Chen Mu stared at the gray stone door, carefully reviewing the feedback.

In that short time, he discovered that his seven emotions had unexpectedly gained a little experience!
Can this secret technique be cultivated on its own?
Chen Mu observed the gray stone gate again and found that, in addition to the Seven Emotions Spell, the Mustard Seed Spell experience points were also incorrect.

Mustard Seed Spell: 8216/10000/Second Tier;

"My experience has clearly increased significantly compared to before."

"I must have done something to cause these two secret techniques to react this way."

The Stone Gate has a mysterious origin, containing various profound Daoist principles. However, to draw out these insights, Chen Mu must cultivate step by step on his own. There has never been a case of him being directly fed.

After carefully recalling his experiences over the past few days and combining his insights from the two secret techniques, he soon found the source of this unexpected turn of events.

The Seal of Life and Death!
City of Thousand Lights!
Chen Mu immediately focused his mind on the Thousand Lantern City.

At this moment, the Life and Death Seal cultivated in the Spirit Treasure Cardinal Chapter is residing in the Great Eye of Thousand Lantern City.

After the Yellow Springs Gourd was completed, the Seal of Life and Death became largely useless, so Chen Mu placed it in the Great Eye of Thousand Lanterns City.

This would make it easier for him to control the Thousand Lanterns City portal and silently absorb the demonic energy stored within it.

Unexpectedly, it had an unforeseen effect.

Feeling the ocean of magical runes within the Thousand Lanterns City's giant eye, which resembled a sky full of stars, Chen Mu gained some insight.

"The Seal of Life and Death is a special mark cultivated through the perfect Lingbao Cardinal Method; it is a part of me."

"It sank into the central eye of Thousand Lantern City, constantly observing the core of the cave, which is equivalent to me also comprehending the mysteries of Thousand Lantern City, which is why the stone gate gave feedback!"

Chen Mu understood the reason for this change.

but……

"I understand the need to increase the experience of Mustard Seed Spells. There is a hidden world within Thousand Lantern City, and the mystery of the miniature world within a thousand miles of courtyards is indispensable."

"But why would it enhance the Seven Emotions Curse of the Heavenly Demon Path?"

"Because the Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body itself possesses the bloodline of a Heavenly Demon?"

Chen Mu thought of the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed and the Seven Flames of Delusions that lingered around the Yin Spirit Divine Embryo.

These are all innate supernatural abilities awakened by the Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon Body.

"The Life and Death Seal is formed from the Heavenly Demon Body. Using the Life and Death Seal will stimulate the Heavenly Demon Bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Body, thus enhancing the Seven Emotions Curse?"

Chen Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, guessing that was probably the case.

"Let it be an upgrade. I'm just afraid that my spirit will be corrupted. I won't actively try to refine other people's seven emotions."

He accepted it quickly.

Chen Mu would certainly not refuse such a good thing as being able to automatically increase his experience without having to deliberately cultivate.

"Hmm, it would be great if other secret techniques could also upgrade themselves like this."

Chen Mu stared at the stone gate with a smile for a while before turning his attention to another secret technique.

Plague Immortal Technique: 5537/10000/Seventh Rank;

"After being idle for so long, it's time to use a secret technique to grind for experience points."

"The Demonic Poison of the Bewitching Heaven is everywhere; you never know when you might fall victim to it."

"This Plague Immortal Technique can remove demonic poison. Practice it more, it will be just what you need."
