Chapter 911: Ancient Demon
The cave was silent. Chu Mu stood alone, looking thoughtful.

After a moment, he raised his finger and pointed, and the Supreme Talisman in his hand radiated spiritual light. After about ten breaths, a strange spiritual fluctuation descended into the stone cave.

Not far in front of Chu Mu, an illusory projection of the soul suddenly appeared.

"metropolitan."

Chu Mu bowed.

"What's the matter, Junior Brother?"

The leader of the Changsheng Sect looked around the simple stone cave before looking at Chu Mu and asking.

"Junior brother is outside the realm..."

Chu Mu slowly told the situation he noticed outside the boundary. He did not hide anything and told everything he observed, no matter how big or small.

When Chu Mu finished speaking, the leader of the Changsheng Sect was obviously a little surprised. After asking a few questions in a hurry, he dispersed the projection of his soul and spirit, apparently returning to his body to confirm the strange phenomenon that Chu Mu had noticed.

The talisman returned to his palm. Chu Mu stared at the disappearing soul projection for a long time before he seemed to come back to his senses.

He turned his head and saw that the stone wall of the cave, which was originally a physical entity, had numerous inscriptions engraved on it that were distorted and changed, turning reality into illusion. The scenery of the mountains and forests outside the cave appeared as if through a perspective.

Outside the cave, among the mountains and forests, there is a thatched hut. A winding stone path through the woods is reflected in the sunlight, which is like scattered gold, and shines on a red dress.

The woman held the talisman in her hand and tapped it with her slender fingers. Projected images appeared one after another. Without exception, they were all traces of the whereabouts of Lie Yan.

This woman was naturally Chang Hongyi, whom he had arranged to leave. A teleportation array, a large array set up by him personally, was to protect her safety.

When the situation gradually stabilized, at the beginning of his retreat, he used his supreme authority to recruit her into the Changsheng Sect, making her his direct descendant, and having her handle Yanyun's trivial matters for him, as well as monitor the most important similar flower.

After taking a quick look, Chu Mu shifted his gaze and fixed it on the forest on one side of the thatched cottage.

Dozens of acres of woods had already formed a large open space, with bloody remains and white bones scattered all over the ground, and even the charred marks of lightning strikes could be seen.

At this moment, as if it had noticed Chu Mu's gaze, the huge creature occupying this open space slowly raised its head and looked at Chu Mu with a pair of beast eyes as big as lanterns. Even though they were separated by a stone wall, they could still look into each other's eyes.

They looked at each other for just a moment, and the beast's eyes showed intimacy. It groaned and roared twice, and a message from its spiritual consciousness directly passed through the formation and the obstruction of the stone wall and sounded in Yu Chumu's ears.

"Owner."

Chu Mu nodded, and his spiritual sense spread out along the forbidden formation and landed accurately on this ancient giant beast that was as majestic as a mountain.

This ancient giant beast is naturally the Wangcai who got the great opportunity.

Before he went into seclusion, he used his supreme authority to mobilize a large number of demons for blood food.

Given the brutal fighting on the front lines in recent years, the Changsheng Sect naturally has no shortage of corpses of demons.

In just one or two years, a huge number of demon corpses were transported from the front line to Jizhou City, and they all turned into blood food for Wangcai.

With sufficient blood and food supply, Wangcai, who had already reached the third level of perfection, began to break through and transform very smoothly.

At the beginning of the third year of his retreat, he helped his son to survive the heavenly tribulation and become a fourth-order ancient monster, which became the huge monster before him.

The fourth level has complete intelligence and once the transverse bone is refined, it will be easy for him to speak human language.

Under the perception of his divine sense, the ancient demon body, which had reached the fourth level, showed no resistance as usual, letting go of all its defenses, revealing everything in his perception. The key to a cultivator reaching the fourth level is the blessing of the great power of heaven and earth.

With the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the Nascent Soul can often unleash power several times greater than its own.

When a demon beast reaches the fourth level, if it chooses to transform, it can naturally switch between a human body and a demon body at will, and can also control the power of heaven and earth, which is in no way inferior to the Nascent Soul powerhouse at the same level.

But if one embarks on the path of tracing the ancestral bloodline of the ancient monsters, it is also at the fourth level, but the power it possesses is completely different.

The former is to use one's own great power to control the power of heaven and earth, thereby gaining control over heaven and earth and forming a territory of heaven and earth.

The latter is pure personal strength.

The power of the ancient monster lies in its own body and blood.

The demon's body is extremely powerful, and its bloodline has transformed into magical powers, which is not inferior to the domain suppression under the blessing of the power of heaven and earth.

In the past, he had only heard this from hearsay. After all, he had not had much contact with real ancient monsters.

And as Wangcai broke through to the fourth level and became an ancient monster, all of this became clear to him.

The extremely powerful demon body is not even inferior to the spiritual treasures of the same level. Its fur, flesh, bones, and organs...

Wherever the spiritual consciousness sensed, there was a surge of vigorous energy and blood like a vast ocean. On the bones, one could even see faint mysterious lines imprinted and engraved. These lines came from the blood power that Wangcai had transformed again.

The tracking ability he once had is now even more mysterious. It is difficult to stop it with formation restrictions, and even the pseudo-boundaries of the small world cannot stop Wangcai's tracking.

Only when he stands outside of the world and uses the world as a barrier can he barely block Wangcai's tracking perception.

And that ghostly form, and that devouring magical power, all mysteriously increased as his cultivation level changed. With his knowledge, it was even difficult for him to comprehend the mystery.

If it were in the past, he would have to study it carefully, at least to thoroughly understand the mystery.

However, given the current situation and the tight time schedule, he only squeezed out some spare time to observe Wangcai for a while and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, so he did not pay too much attention to him.

Of course, at this point, there is no need for him to pay too much attention.

After all, it has become a fourth-order ancient demon beast. Although it has not yet transformed, its intelligence is already completely sound. If it were in the vast ocean, a fourth-order ancient demon beast would definitely be the overlord of a place and a great demon.

There is no need for him to guide and make decisions on everything as in the past.

After observing for a while, Chu Mu withdrew his consciousness and turned his attention back to the volume of magic secrets in front of him.

After watching for a while, Chu Mu took a deep breath, and his slightly restless mood slowly calmed down.

He sat cross-legged, blessed by a ray of spiritual light, and his mind was like a mirror, free from dust and dirt.

In his mind, the relevant information about this volume of magic secrets also emerged. Every word and every mystery were already familiar to him.

He slowly mobilized his spiritual power and carefully followed the traces of this volume of magic secrets. With the help of a touch of spiritual light, every detail was clear, and everything was within his perception and control.

As time passed, this cave dwelling located on the spiritual eye of the fourth-level spiritual vein, which should have been filled with extremely pure and rich spiritual energy, also quietly began to emit wisps of demonic energy...
