My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 818 Accident
That evening.

Under the burdock tree, Chen Mu recited the Rootless Sutra as usual.

The strands of supernatural power that emerged from the void were drawn in and absorbed into the secret acupoint between the eyebrows.

After a long while, just as Chen Mu was about to finish his chanting for the day, a large mass of supernatural power suddenly appeared.

Various insights also surfaced in my mind.

Chen Mu opened his eyes and summoned the gray stone door.

The Rootless Sutra: The Limit.

"You've reached the pinnacle of skill?" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

For about seven or eight months, he recited the mantra every day, and his experience gradually improved.

Chen Mu hadn't paid much attention, but he never expected to reach the top level in training today.

The effect was also very obvious, with the total amount of supernatural power attracted doubling.

Not only that...

"At least I won't have to go through the trouble of chanting scriptures anymore." After carefully checking the feedback from the stone gate, Chen Mu smiled.

The Rootless Sutra, when perfected, transforms into a secret mantra. Simply by casting it, one can immediately receive all the supernatural powers allocated for the day. There's no need for repeated chanting, saving a great deal of effort.

Chen Mu looked at the gray stone door with a smile, but as he looked, he realized something was wrong.

Seven Emotions Spell: 4253/10000/Fourth Tier;

"Wasn't the Seven Emotions Curse only at the third level before?"

"How did it level up so quickly?"

"Even with the Life and Death Seal and the Thousand Lanterns City's assistance, the improvement shouldn't be this fast."

"Is it the Rootless Sutra?!"

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"The Rootless Sutra, once perfected, can indirectly enhance the Seven Emotions Mantra?!"

"If that's the case... then is the same true for the 'One Heart Sutra' of Wuxiang City and the 'Three Joys Sutra' of Santu City?"

"Are these scriptures really related to the Heavenly Demon Path?"

Chen Mu couldn't help but grin.

Initially, because of his own book, "The Longevity Scripture of the Eastern Pole," he kept his distance from the Rootless Scripture.

Later, after encountering supernatural powers, he realized they were beneficial, and then began reciting the "Rootless Sutra".

In the end, it was discovered that the "Rootless Sutra" might indeed be related to the Heavenly Demon Path.

"Fortunately, there are no huge pits here like the Heavenly Demon Curse that guide the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed to parasitize."

"But I haven't heard of any Heavenly Demon Path within Misty Ridge."

Chen Mu carefully recalled all the information that the Duocai and Duobao brothers had collected, but after racking his brains for a long time, he came up with nothing.

His information was limited, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out the reason.

……

"The Heavenly Demon Path? What is that?"

Fan Lou, Xu Gui looked at Chen Mu with a puzzled expression.

"You really haven't heard a single thing about the Heavenly Demon?"

"There's not a single mention of it in the legends and tales of Misty Ridge?" Chen Mu persisted.

"Anecdotes and legends? You'll have to go find those old folks."

"I'm only interested in romantic escapades," Xu Gui said with a grin.

Chen Mu: "..."

I shouldn't have asked this fatso.

"But that cloud mirage you mentioned, I think I've heard that name before." Xu Gui scratched his forehead, frowning as he pondered.

"Hmm, a mirage!"

"Yes, it's a mirage!"

"Those enormous illusions that randomly appear in various parts of Misty Ridge are said to be woven by a black wind demon called the Cloud Mirage."

Celestial Demon Cloud Mirage?

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

I never expected that instead of finding out about the Heavenly Demon Path, I would hear about the Heavenly Demon Cloud Mirage.

……

Several days later, late at night.

Under the burdock tree, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair.

In the center of the courtyard, twenty-four bright pearls emitted a warm glow. At the center, rich spiritual energy continuously seeped into the blank white jade coin.

These past few days, Chen Mu continued his Qi cultivation every morning and went to Fanlou to inquire about news in the afternoon.

There are still some scattered legends about the Heavenly Demon Cloud Mirage, but there is absolutely no related information about the Heavenly Demon Path.

"It seems that only by going to a larger and more prosperous place like Sanzu City can we find some useful information."

"However, there's no rush."

"It's not too late to ask when your cultivation level is higher."

He is not lacking in energy now, and White Bird City is relatively stable. Even though the divine weapon caused some turmoil, the chaos has only occurred in the misty forest outside the city and has not yet affected the city.

Chen Mu cultivated step by step every day, whether it was refining Qi or cultivating the Heavenly Demon Body, he made steady progress step by step.

Driven by mere curiosity, I ventured into the unknown Sanzu Castle?

Chen Mu shook his head decisively.

After getting up and putting away the white jade coins that had been nurtured within the twenty-four pearls, Chen Mu replaced them with another batch of blank white jade coins and prepared to go back to his room to rest.

But just as I took a step, the gray sky suddenly brightened.

Chen Mu subconsciously looked up and saw a bright silver pillar of light shooting into the sky from the depths of the misty forest outside the city. Before Chen Mu could see what was happening...

Boom...

A series of thunderous explosions followed.

The clouds in the sky were stirred up and churned, and the ground trembled continuously, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

Chen Mu looked at the gradually fading light in the distance and pursed his lips in a helpless manner.

Without a doubt, this was a huge commotion caused by someone trying to seize the divine weapon.

After years of spiritual practice and traveling to so many places, I still find no peace anywhere.

Now, seeing this sudden change, Chen Mu is even able to remain calm and composed.

"It seems I won't be able to stay in White Bird City for much longer."

……

Deep in the misty forest.

In a small valley.

Nine gray-clad men with hoods on their heads stood on the hilltops surrounding the valley.

These people raised their hands, and thin, bright silver threads flew out from their palms, intertwining and weaving in mid-air, like a brocade handkerchief, firmly enveloping the entire small valley.

Center of the valley.

Lu Gong fell to the ground.

A huge, gray boulder pressed down on his back, pinning him to the ground.

"Qin Yue, I don't have many years left to live."

"When I die, the divine weapon will naturally belong to your Qin family."

"You can't even wait this long?" Blood trickled from the corner of Lu Gong's mouth as he stared intently at Qin Yue, the deputy city lord, not far away.

"City Lord, it's not that I can't wait, but my ancestor is about to collapse." Qin Yue shook his head and sighed.

"The divine weapon of Santu City has been passed down for three generations and is on the verge of collapse."

"If we cannot obtain a brand new divine weapon, the entire Santu City will cease to exist."

"For the sake of the future of Santu City, I have no choice but to make things difficult for you, City Lord." He said with a sorrowful expression.

"Bullshit!" Lu Gong cursed.

"You make it sound so nice, but it's all because you're greedy for divine weapons!"

Qin Yue remained expressionless: "Trying to buy time and escape using the power of the divine weapon?"

"A waste of effort," he said calmly.

"The stone on your back is called the Three Paths Stone. It was personally crafted by my ancestor at the cost of damaging a divine weapon."

"Although it can only be used once, its power is almost the same as that of a divine weapon."

"This was specially crafted by my ancestor to suppress the divine weapon within you."

"Once you're pinned down, you can forget about breaking free," Qin Yue said calmly.

"Don't even think about using the power of divine weapons to possess the person reciting the scriptures."

"Those nine on the mountain are Mountain Moving Envoys specially trained by my Santu City. They have practiced supernatural powers their whole lives in order to isolate the energy between divine weapons and those who chant scriptures."

"You've really gone to great lengths for my White Bird Divine Weapon!" Lu Gong couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"We've talked enough, it's time to say goodbye, Lord Lu." Qin Yue raised his hand and spread his five fingers towards Lu Gong.

Silver patterns lit up on the Sanzu Stone, and a tremendous suction force burst forth from within the stone.

Wisps of gray energy were drawn from Lu Gong's body. Accompanied by Lu Gong's painful roar, the gray energy gathered in mid-air and transformed into a fist-sized, dusty gray stone.

Qin Yue strode forward, grabbed the gray stone, and finally showed excitement on his usually calm face.

"Divine weapon!"

"Divine weapon!"

"Fifty years of lurking and waiting, it's finally in my hands!"

Qin Yue held the divine weapon in both hands, admiring it from every angle, his face flushed with excitement.

But as he was looking at it, he suddenly stopped.

"wrong!"

"This divine weapon... why is a piece missing?!"

"Ha! You found out..." Under the Three Crossings Stone, Lu Gong, who was on the verge of death, let out a weak but cheerful laugh.

"What did you do?" Qin Yue stared intently at Lu Gong.

"Have you forgotten about the divine weapon that appeared around White Bird City?" Lu Gong said gloatingly.

"Wasn't that a deception you deliberately created to lure the commander of the troops? Could it be..." Qin Yue looked at the chipped spot on the gray stone in his hand, his face turning ashen.

"You actually knew it was a trap? That makes sense, otherwise you wouldn't have used that to lure me out of the city." Lu Gong said with a smile.

"What a pity, you didn't investigate my trap thoroughly."

"If the rumors were too false, how could those commanders who possess fragments of divine weapons be fooled? Therefore..."

"So you just split a perfectly good divine weapon in two?!" Now it was Qin Yue's turn to grit his teeth.

"Looking back now, I did the right thing, didn't I?" Lu Gong chuckled.

"After all that scheming, all I got was a broken divine weapon. Aren't you happy?!"

"Ha ha……"

Qin Yue glared fiercely at Lu Gong, whose breath was gradually fading away, wishing he could revive him and then kill him again.

"Damn old man!"

"Even in death, you won't let me rest in peace!"
