Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 388 An unexpected surprise
"My innate magical power!"

Li Wen's pupils shrank slightly and he murmured in disbelief.

Looking at Chen Mu's thunderous display just now, it was clear that he had already shown signs of his innate magical power...

"But he is just a foundation-building cultivator. How did he do it?"

He frowned, wanting to get to the bottom of it, but he also knew that such matters were taboo, and asking rashly would probably offend Chen Mu.

Little did they know that Chen Mu had only evolved the thunder method by himself, and had accidentally developed the tendency to cultivate his innate magical power.

Even if you tell others about it, it will be extremely difficult to replicate it.

Jiang Dan quickly escaped from the altar, and after landing, he felt annoyed.

It wasn't that he was angry about losing to Chen Mu, but rather that he was too careless. He actually used the same method he had used in the previous battle to deal with Chen Mu, and completely failed to unleash the full power of Flying Star Transmission of Hate...

Although he is arrogant and looks down on others, he also has very high demands on himself, otherwise he would not have come this far.

Seeing him admit defeat, Chen Mu waved his hand and retracted the spell, and he felt relieved.

Don’t be fooled by the terrifying power of his Three Elements Divine Thunder, it only has the power of one strike!
If Jiang Dan insisted on fighting regardless of the risk, it would be fine if he couldn't stop her, but if she managed to hold on, Chen Mu would be defeated again...

"Hahahaha... Daoist Fellow Jiang, thanks for letting me go first!"

In order to avoid being noticed by others, he chuckled, bowed immediately, and then followed the guidance of the soul flag to enter the next level.

Outside, there was complete silence. Everyone stared at each other with wide eyes for a long time without saying a word.

"Judging from the momentum of Chen Mu's last attack, I'm afraid he's already close to the Golden Core Realm, right?"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang's defeat was not unfair. Even Master Lian would not be able to be sure of victory if he encountered such a technique."

"I never thought that Fushan Changhe would have a figure like Fairy Xiao, and even a genius like Fellow Daoist Chen. It's truly a prosperous successor..."

"What do you think, where can Fellow Daoist Chen go in the end? Can he catch up with Master Lian and the others?"

"It's difficult. Young Master Lian and the Western Desert cultivator have now reached the final stage of this trial. Who knows, they might seize the inheritance and end this trial at any time.

If Fellow Daoist Chen wants to catch up with them, it will probably take at least two months. By then, the opportunity will be gone!"

"That's true, but Fellow Daoist Chen's performance today was already quite unexpected. If he had entered the trial with Master Lian and the others, he might have actually been able to rank in the top three!"

"What a shame... Let's just wait and see."

……

Chen Mu raised his eyes and looked around carefully.

What came into view was a gray cave of unknown depth. There was no light at all inside, like an abyss.

His figure standing in front of the cave looked extremely small.

On the fifteenth level, the content of the trial changed again. There was no more fighting with others, nor was there any more searching for things like the black tower.

Instead, he had to enter the cave and restrain all the ghosts inside. As long as he could do this, he could successfully break through and leave.

It is easy to say but difficult to do.

There are more than 100,000 ghosts in this cave. Although most of them are low-level ghosts, there are also many high-level ghosts, and even quite a few of the second-level ones.

What makes the challengers even more headache is that once they start to restrain the ghosts inside, they will attack continuously. They can only succeed in one go. If they give up halfway, the ghosts that were previously restrained will be born again.

According to Xiao Qiang, she was able to pass this level by relying on a soul talisman, which helped her suppress most of the ghosts, allowing her to pass in one go.

As for the other people on the list, they all struggled for several months, and with the help from the outside world, they finally got through by luck.

But he couldn't possibly have such ample time to go back and gather support. If he wanted to catch up with Lian Fangyuan and the others, he had to get through this stage in one go!
What's more, given his personality, he is not willing to gamble easily.

Instead of begging others to slow down and wait for him, it is better to speed up yourself and catch up directly!

Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed and regulated his breathing.

"In fact, with my current spiritual strength, it is not impossible to pass this level in one go..."

He made up his mind and then stopped thinking about it.

The next day, the cave was still as dark as ink, like a huge rock pressing on people's hearts, making them feel heavy and depressed.

Chen Mu took a deep breath and strode in.

The moment I entered, the light in front of my eyes suddenly disappeared, and I could only use my spiritual sense to explore the surrounding environment.

The cave corridor is extremely wide, almost comparable to a palace.

Countless gray ghosts wandered aimlessly, at such a low level that they didn't even have a trace of consciousness.

Chen Mu said nothing, walked silently to a corner, then summoned the soul flag and pointed!
"call!"

The next moment, a huge suction force emerged from the inside of the Soul Banner, and the surrounding ghosts were sucked in in the blink of an eye without even making a subconscious roar.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand!
The process went smoothly, and the soul energy of the many ghosts that swept in was agitated, forming a faint vortex around the ghosts, and the center of the vortex was the soul flag.

Chen Mu was unmoved. These first ones were all low-level ghosts, and the next ones were the highlight!

Sure enough, not long after, a gray-blue ghost that was obviously different from the one just now came roaring.

Judging from its amazing speed, it still sensed Chen Mu's presence and took the initiative to approach and attack!

"Well done!"

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and his powerful spiritual sense suddenly extended, accompanied by a cold snort. Thousands of gray-blue ghosts were like being hit by a wake-up call, and they were all stunned on the spot.

He kept moving, and with a wave of his sleeves, he rolled many ghosts into the soul flag.

A first-level ghost is far inferior to his realm, so it can be said that he can take it down without any effort.

……

Time passed by little by little, and Chen Mu kept thinking in his mind.

"The number of restraints has reached 100,000. Success or failure depends on the last wave..."

He looked into the depths of the cave, his face already pale.

Not long after, a whistling sound arose again!
"coming."

He frowned and waved his hand to release the Yaksha and other ghosts.

At this moment, all of them were full of soul power and emitted fierce looks. Among them, the souls of Yaksha, Demon Head and Skeleton had even advanced to the peak of the second level. They were only one step away from becoming third-level ghost generals!
“It really works!”

Chen Mu was delighted, and his confidence in getting through this difficult time was greatly increased.

Speaking of which, he really had to thank Jiang Dan, because it was his trick that gave him inspiration.

The secret technique of stealing souls from the sea of ​​sin that he had acquired previously could allow him to devour ghosts in order to increase his spiritual power, but he abandoned it because of its drawbacks.

But after being enlightened by Jiang Dan, he used this technique on the ghosts such as Yakshas. He did not have much expectation. However, the Yakshas who rejected and devoured their own kind and only liked pure soul power became almost crazy and began to devour the newly restrained ghosts.

Among them, the three souls of Yaksha, Demon and Skeleton are particularly exaggerated. They can swallow hundreds of souls in an instant. If Chen Mu had not intervened, they might have swallowed up a hundred thousand ghosts!
"This is enough for now..."

Looking at the increasingly ferocious ghosts such as Yaksha, Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. He stretched out his finger and pointed, driving them to immediately face the last wave of attacks here!
