Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 378: Silent Development
The sun and the moon rotate continuously, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.

The sky was overcast and a light rain began to fall.

Near the towering stone pillars, thousands of people, regardless of the wind and rain, watched with great interest the countless geniuses before them.

Although they are not as good as the inner geniuses, it does not affect their private discussions at all.

"You've got to admit, that Western Desert cultivator is truly extraordinary. I've been watching him for nearly ten days and discovered that he's extremely adept at controlling his third-rank ghost generals, and they haven't even shown any signs of rebellion!
You know, a third-rank ghost general is equivalent to the Jindan realm of our human cultivators, and their intelligence is very high. Even if they can't compare to a true Jindan Zhenren, he, a mere foundation-building cultivator, can drive them so well. Who can defeat him?"

"Master Lian has begun to exert his strength. He has been stationary somewhere for the past few days. He must be trying to restrain a third-level ghost general..."

"Fairy Xiao really didn't disappoint me. The East Sea cultivator still wanted to defeat Fairy Xiao, but he didn't even consider his own strength... But this is also a good thing. Fairy Xiao can use the East Sea cultivator to break through to the sixteenth level!"

……

Everyone was in a state of confusion, each looking at their favorite genius.

At this time, the geniuses from various families who were undergoing the trial had no idea that their every move was being known to the outside world.

Although the picture is blurry, the people on the list are so conspicuous that anyone who is slightly familiar with them can guess their identities.

Fortunately, none of the Tianjiao had done anything disqualifying for the time being. If not, it's possible that they would have thought their actions were flawless and unknown, but would have ended up becoming the laughing stock of Beiyuan...

Inside the sixteenth level, Lian Fangyuan, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, hid calmly on the side, his consciousness fixed on a soul cave in front of him.

"The ancestor comprehended the mysteries and calculated according to destiny. Xuantian's generation would produce a great master who could transcend tribulations, or even ascend to become an immortal... I believe this inheritance is the opportunity, and I am destined to be one!"

His eyes flashed slightly, and he determined that he was the seed of tribulation for Xuantian's generation.

"Being temporarily defeated by Yu Wenshan is nothing. As long as I can subdue this third-level ghost general, I can avenge my previous defeat and regain my top spot!"

Thinking of this, his expression straightened, and he suddenly shot out. The soul flag floating behind his head fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound. The spreading black mist pressed down with the force of mountains and seas...

In the seventh level, Chen Mu's brows relaxed, and he nodded as he looked at the zombie ghost in front of him that had broken through the second level.

After half a month, he successfully captured three gate-guarding ghosts, and used this to help three first-level ghosts break through the bottleneck and grow into second-level ghosts.

Counting it this way, out of the ten ghosts he possesses, six are at the second level.

The combat power is no longer comparable to that of two months ago...

"Although his potential is insufficient, his combat power is indeed strong, only slightly inferior to that of Yasha."

Chen Mu muttered something, collected the red-faced and fanged zombie ghost, then raised the soul flag and made a hand gesture to enter the next level.

There is still a month left before the day of going out for rest, which is just the right time to break through the last level recorded in the secret record.

The familiar feeling of the passage of time and the reversal of heaven and earth. When everything became clear, a sea as dark as the abyss suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mu!
The sea is boundless and calm. The sky in the distance is dark, making this place even darker.

A bitingly cold wind blew slowly, but still could not create the slightest ripple.

Chen Mu frowned slightly, not daring to be careless, and waved his hand to release all the soul flag ghosts.

For a moment, ten strange figures were flying or standing behind him, which looked very weird.

There is not much record of the eighth level in the secret record, only a few words.

"This level is all about killing. Kill every soul you can see until you meet a competitor, and then you can catch your breath..."

The change did not take him long to come. Just as he was thinking, the sea not far away suddenly became turbulent, and a hideous ghost flew out from it!
"First-level ghost..."

Before he could make a move, the sea surface within a radius of a thousand feet began to rise and fall, and countless ghosts shot out, rushing towards him with roars and howls.

The sky was dark, and the dense swarm of ghosts almost filled the sky! Such a terrifying scene, if it were someone less courageous, they would probably have trembled and lost the will to resist.

Fortunately, Chen Mu was well prepared and did not get panicked.

"disease!"

As soon as he gave an order, the ghost behind him suddenly rushed out, looking extremely ferocious and fearless of death!

Among them, the two ghosts of Yaksha and Demon are the most outstanding.

Needless to say, Yaksha is now the strongest ghost under Chen Mu. With a wave of the long fork in his hand, he directly pierced nearly a hundred ghosts!
The demon was somewhat beyond his expectations. Although his fighting power was not as strong as that of zombie ghosts, his speed in killing ghosts was much faster.

Dozens of first-level ghosts were swallowed into its mouth as soon as they met, and turned into soul power to replenish itself.

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and he felt quite satisfied.

But he didn't let his guard down. After all, this was just the beginning...

Three days later, the seemingly endless army of ghosts finally slowed down. When Yaksha killed the last first-level ghost, the place became quiet again.

Yaksha was a little surprised and looked back at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged, but the magic formula was already appearing in his hands.

The ghost attacks in the previous three days were only at the first level, so they were all left to the Soul Banner Ghost to deal with on their own.

The next attack would not be something the ghost could resist on its own.

"Oh!"

The sea surface in the distance suddenly burst into flames, and amid the surging waves, a figure with fleshy wings on its back, red eyes and fangs came roaring.

"Second level!"

Chen Mu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he immediately cast a spell and sent down a ray of fire yang thunder!
At the same time, Yaksha and other second-level ghosts also roared and followed Lei Mang away.

Thunder magic can restrain ghosts, not to mention fire-attributed thunder magic!

I saw a red lightning that stretched for hundreds of feet and struck the ghost at an incredible speed.

"boom!"

In an instant, the red-eyed ghost roared in pain, and its body burned without fire. The fire became more and more intense, with no sign of extinguishing!

It was not until it flapped its fleshy wings and dived into the deep sea that the fire was slightly contained.

Before the Yaksha and other ghosts got close, they saw the tragic scene before them. They were not very intelligent, so they were instinctively frightened and moved away in an instant.

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and without waiting for the red-eyed ghost to come up, the evil sword in his hand rushed out and directly killed the red-eyed ghost that had no power to resist.

As his figure shattered and disappeared, it turned into waves of spiritual energy, rushing towards him.

This is the opportunity here. If you can kill the invading ghost, you can obtain pure spiritual energy, which is almost comparable to taking a magic pill without the worry of poison!

Chen Mu didn't bother to refine it and just kept it in his dantian for a while. Then he heard three loud bangs.

This time, three second-level ghosts attacked together!
He smiled in his heart, waved away the Yaksha and other ghosts, and then controlled the thunder to strike again!

If you can grasp such a good opportunity properly, you may be able to cultivate to the peak of the late stage in one fell swoop.
