Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 381 Step by step
Chen Mu's heart moved, and he and Xu Jingyang looked at each other and took a few steps forward together.

"What's the matter, Senior Sister Xiao?"

Xiao Qiang frowned slightly and said nothing, but gestured to the disciples left behind by Fushan Changhe to explain.

"Brothers, a month ago, after the Western Desert cultivator won the top spot, some changes occurred here..."

The remaining disciple spoke softly and briefly told them about the scene of the level-breaking scene.

"Is there such a thing?" Fang He spoke first, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be rejecting it, but rather had a hint of anticipation.

Being able to show his strength in such a grand occasion is what he really wants!
Lu Ziyu, on the other hand, was quick to react. He gently fanned the paper fan in his hand, frowned, and said, "Such a sudden change has occurred. Could it be that this inheritance has come to an end?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he somewhat agreed with this statement.

If not, why didn't the incident happen earlier or later, but happened when Yu Wenshan broke into the seventeenth floor...

"In this case, I really have to work harder, otherwise it will be too late after the inheritance is finalized."

He calculated secretly in his mind and looked around.

They discovered that they were not the only ones talking about this. Xuantian Mansion, Feixing Taoist Palace... all had the same reaction.

"Senior Sister Xiao, if the trial really comes to an end, I am willing to lend a helping hand!"

After a moment, Lu Ziyu closed the paper fan with a "snap" and looked at Xiao Qiang with a smile.

Xiao Qiang's beautiful eyes narrowed as she asked, "Junior brother, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Ziyu's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "Senior Sister and Tang Tianrui have both entered the sixteenth floor. If we want to defeat them, it won't be easy..."

Xiao Qiang nodded when she heard this. This was true. Although Tang Tianrui was defeated by Lian Fangyuan, his strength was not much worse than hers.

If they were to face off in a challenge, it would be unknown who would win or lose.

Lu Ziyu continued, "To be honest, Junior Brother will be able to enter the sixteenth level during the next trial. After I reach that level, Senior Sister can use my help to break through the barrier and leave. Only then will there be a glimmer of hope..."

When these words were spoken, not only Xiao Qiang was surprised, but everyone present also looked at them with different expressions.

Xiao Qiang was surprised that he would help her in this way, while Fang He and others were surprised that he had actually been able to break through to the sixteenth level!

The sixteenth floor is already in the top five of the Earth Ranking...

Fang He narrowed his eyes slightly and cursed in his heart.

God is so unfair. He is determined to make progress and work hard to pass the levels, but now he is only at the fourteenth level.

And what virtue and ability did Lu Ziyu have to have reached the sixteenth floor!
Moreover, he did not cherish it very much and lost the desire to fight for it, and was actually going to give such a precious opportunity to others.

If it were him, he would definitely not be a stepping stone for others to climb the mountain!

After a while, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Qiang actually shook her head and refused, "No need for that, Junior Brother. Before leaving the valley, I already restrained a third-rank ghost general..."

Everyone was shocked again and speechless for a moment.

"Senior sister is extraordinary, I am just overthinking it..." Lu Ziyu said with a bow.

Chen Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and he was secretly calculating in his heart.

"If Xiao Qiang is included, there are already two people in this inheritance who can restrain a third-level ghost general. It seems that if you want to stand out, the help of a third-level ghost general is indispensable!"

At this time, he still didn't know that Lian Fangyuan had also restrained a third-level ghost general...

"I just don't know if Yaksha can advance. This will save me a lot of effort."

While he was pondering, the man in the silk scarf and the others who had come with him also left the valley. Seeing that everyone was gathered, Xiao Qiang nodded slightly and immediately led everyone back to the Xincheng Mansion.

Afterwards, he reported to the Jindan uncles, and then turned around and left.

Chen Mu was not in a hurry to find Xu Jingyang to ask about the secrets of the ninth level and beyond. After all, they had just come out of retreat and urgently needed to prepare for recuperation, so there was no need to rush.

Anyway, there is still half a month left...

Coming into the quiet room, Chen Mu sat aside, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

With his current strength, he is indeed somewhat inferior to the top geniuses.

After all, he has no advantage in terms of martial arts and magical powers, and the only trump card he has not played out yet is the soul technique.

But it can only be used as a killer weapon, and it will lose its miraculous effect if used frequently.

Fortunately, his magic power is pure and the Five Elements Divine Thunder has also improved. As long as he is given some more time, he will be able to leap up!

After a long time, his expression became calm, his consciousness sank into his dantian, and he began to refine the temporarily stored spiritual energy.

Instantly, rich spiritual energy surged like a river, a little of it flowing out, causing a spiritual energy vortex to quietly appear in the quiet room, constantly attracting the surrounding spiritual energy to flow into Chen Mu's body...

The days passed by in a flash, and twelve days had passed.

During this rest period, the number of monks increased and the city became more lively.

There is an auction every three days and an exchange every five days. All kinds of rare treasures emerge one after another, and various Taoist methods are sold in large quantities. Such a scene is rare.

Chen Mu walked slowly on the long street, his expression motionless, his spiritual sense quietly spreading out, searching for someone's figure.

It was not a coincidence that he came out of seclusion two days ago and came here to look for Qingfengzi.

But he had been waiting until this time, but this person still did not appear, as if this person did not exist in Xincheng.

"Before entering the trial, I vaguely saw this person's figure. How come he suddenly disappeared?"

Chen Mu frowned slightly and thought to himself, "If I can't find this person, I can only ask Senior Brother Xu for more information."

After wandering around for another half a day, he still found no trace of this person.

Chen Mu did not stay any longer and turned back to the mansion.

The next morning, Xu Jingyang walked out of the quiet room and looked at Chen Mu, who was sitting in the pavilion with a glass of spiritual tea, and smiled: "Junior brother has entered the eighth level. In fact, I can't help you much. After all, I have only just reached the twelfth level.

If you want to save yourself some trouble, you might as well go and ask Senior Sister Xiao for some advice."

Chen Mu took a sip from his teacup and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Xiao is still in meditation, so I can't disturb her... I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother!"

Xu Jingyang laughed and waved his hands, no longer joking, and said seriously: "Perhaps Junior Brother can feel that the difficulty of the trial levels is increasing, and it is even more so after the ninth level!
It can be said that every subsequent breakthrough is several times more difficult than the previous one."

Chen Mu nodded. This was true. The reason he was able to break through so smoothly before was entirely because of his profound realm and the lack of opponents.

But when you reach the ninth level and beyond, the opponents you encounter are almost on the list, and the rankings get higher the further you go.

By then, if he wants to be as powerful as before, it will not be so easy.

Xu Jingyang continued, "The ninth and tenth levels are both tests of the spiritual strength of those who challenge them. I remember that Junior Brother's spiritual consciousness is powerful, and he was not weaker than me in the early stages of foundation building, so these two levels are not difficult for you.

As for the eleventh and twelfth levels, one needs to be very strong in combat... Take me for example, I needed to defeat a projection of a disciple of the Soul Ancestor lineage. Although his realm matched mine, the ghosts under his command were much stronger than mine. I was unable to win after several battles.

He spoke eloquently, and Chen Mu humbly memorized the tricks, nodding his head repeatedly. He had already formed a rough idea in his mind...
