Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 803 Soul-Severing Thoughts

However, if you can't see through it, you can choose not to look at it.

Chen Mu is not a person who will stick to one thing. As long as he is strong enough, he can deal with any changes calmly.

Now he has this confidence...

Thinking of this, he smiled and took the storage bag, took out a black Taoist robe with gold thread edging, put it on, stood up, and walked out calmly.

His previous storage bag was lost in the Void Sky, and it just happened to be missing these indispensable daily items. The Dragon Mother ordered people to prepare them for him, which can be said to be careless.

Moreover, the number of spirit stones given away is in the tens of millions. Only the Dragon Palace can be so generous.

"Thinking back to the past, I had to put so much thought and effort into planning just for a few dozen spirit stones. Who could have imagined what we're going through today..."

Chen Mu sighed in his heart, walked out of the villa a few steps, and saw Ao Chun waiting in the corridor outside the villa.

In the quiet corridor, Ao Chun was wearing a royal blue Yuhua palace dress, her black hair was combed into a bun with clouds, her eyebrows were long and graceful, her eyes were like autumn water, she looked towards the end of the corridor, every move she made was extremely beautiful, adding an indescribable charm to the water palace.

Perhaps she heard some noise, she turned around and saw Chen Mu, wearing new clothes, slowly approaching.

She stood tall and straight, her black hair as black as ink, simply tied up with a black jade hairpin.

It has to be said that the reborn Chen Mu is a little different from before. His facial features are as clear as a painting, his eyes are clear and peaceful, and he looks more and more like a banished immortal.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Chen Mu's expression was still calm and he didn't feel much, but Ao Chun's heart was beating like a pounding drum, his ears were slightly hot, and he was stunned for a moment.

But the falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is merciless...

"Seventh Princess?"

Chen Mu squatted down and reminded him.

Ao Chun finally came back to his senses, smiled subconsciously, and quickly moved aside to lead him: "Let's go."

The two walked deeper and deeper along the corridor, passing by countless exquisite and unique water palace buildings, and finally stopped outside a palace with strict forbidden formations.

"My eldest sister is in seclusion here. She hasn't been seen for decades. I wonder how long it will take for her to come out..."

Ao Chun took two steps forward and looked around, then said with a sigh.

Chen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Seventh Princess."

Ao Chun knew it was time to leave for a while, but she was still unwilling to do so. She turned her beautiful eyes and smiled tentatively:

"If it were you, why don't you just give me the jade talisman for safekeeping? Why bother sending it in? After all, my elder sister can't stop practicing, and even if she noticed it, I wouldn't be able to check it immediately."

Chen Mu smiled slightly and replied, "It doesn't matter if I can't see it. I just want her to know that I was here at this moment. That's enough."

Hearing this, Ao Chun pursed his lips as if in envy and jealousy, then snorted lightly, turned around and walked out.

After her figure disappeared, Chen Mu turned his gaze back to the forbidden formation in front of him.

The forbidden formation's aura was incredibly powerful, and it was clear how insecure Ao Yi felt in the Dragon Palace...

Chen Mu sighed lightly, and then took out a brand new jade talisman that could take a picture. It hung in the air, shedding a beam of light.

Looking at the jade talismans, he was silent for a moment, then smiled, his lips moved, and he spoke of his unknown thoughts.

In the deep sea palace, undercurrents surge.

It's not that no one paid attention to this place during this period.

The Dragon Mother quietly sent down a ray of divine consciousness, wanting to listen to what Chen Mu said, but she found that the other party's soul was much stronger than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. If she wanted to find out what he said, Chen Mu would definitely find out.

So she thought for a moment and simply dispersed that trace of divine thought.

Ao Chun didn't really leave. Halfway through, he felt like a cat's claws were scratching his heart. He wrinkled his nose, turned around and ran back secretly.

But even the Mother of Dragons doesn’t know, so how can she find out?

Looking at Chen Mu in the dim light, his expression was peaceful and gentle, a rare sight in the world.

She hid in the dark, but could only pout and sulk...

About two incense sticks passed, and after a moment of silence, Chen Mu reached out and took the jade talisman. He then gathered all his spiritual energy and emitted a ray of light that penetrated the forbidden formation.

Not long after, a slight "puff" sound was heard, and a tiny hole appeared on the surface of the forbidden formation.

This small hole does not hinder the forbidden formation, nor does it hinder the owner's practice, but it allows him to send the jade talisman in.

He stretched out his hand and the jade talisman flew up like a stream of light, plunged into the forbidden formation, and then hovered in front of the palace, flickering with light.

It flickers and sways.

In a trance, Chen Mu seemed to see a ray of sunset light from decades ago...

After finishing his business here, Chen Mu said goodbye to the Dragon Mother and the others, and then, with Ao Chun seeing them off, he gradually left the Dragon Palace Sea Area...

……

Earlier, an uninvited guest arrived outside the calm Dragon Palace waters.

Yan Xinjue hurried and finally arrived here within a few days.

And the reason he came here was not for anything else, but just for Chen Mu.

Recalling what the Lord had said to him, he couldn't help but sigh in amazement, "No wonder the cultivators of our Demonic Heaven Alliance were not expelled and killed by the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. It turns out that the Dragon King's own sister is also a fellow cultivator!"

"Hahahaha... With this hidden trick, Chen Mu still wants to stay close to the Dragon Palace to avoid this disaster?"

He shook his head and sneered, "He's really walking into a trap."

"I heard from the Lord that after Ao Yunjin captured Chen Mu, he would send him to an isolated island on the outskirts..."

Yan Xinjue looked around and found the agreed location in a moment. Then he took off and waited quietly.

But one day, two days passed quickly.

As the agreed time approached, the Dragon Palace was still calm and Ao Yunjin had not shown up yet.

"Don't tell me something unexpected happened..."

Yan Xinjue frowned, thought for a while, and decided to go and investigate the situation.

At this time, a demon general who was attending the banquet happened to be out for something. After being captured and interrogated by him in no time, he learned about the incident in the Xuan Palace three days ago.

"Chen Mu...actually defeated Ao Yunjin?"

He was stunned on the spot, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Who is Ao Yunjin?

Although he was not very familiar with him, he had heard some rumors about him.

He is a well-known figure below the level of God Transformation in this world, a cultivator of the previous generation in the true sense.

Even if one cannot progress to the state of becoming a god due to a defect in his soul, he should not be a "stepping stone" for the younger generation on their path.

Now, she was actually defeated by a late-stage cultivator.

Yan Xinjue felt that he had estimated Chen Mu's strength to the greatest extent possible, but at the moment, he still made a short-sighted mistake...

"Even Ao Yunjin can't catch him, so what can I do?"

"The most urgent thing is to return to the alliance and report the news here..."

Yan Xinjue's mind raced and he changed his decision in an instant.

But just as he was about to turn around and jump, he was shocked to see two conspicuous rays of light flying out from the Dragon Palace Sea.

"That's... Chen Mu!" His eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, but fortunately he stopped at the critical moment, so he didn't make things worse and was discovered by Chen Mu.

However, there was a formation on this isolated island that concealed his energy. If he held his breath and did not move, he would not be easily discovered. However, if he escaped from here, he would be completely exposed...

Looking at the two people in the sky saying goodbye to each other, turning in opposite directions and gradually disappearing, Yan Xinjue took a deep breath and couldn't help calming down.

"Even if I'm discovered, what does it matter? I've practiced diligently for sixty years. I'm not only going to fight him, but how could I not even be able to escape?"

He shook his head, laughed at himself, and looked in the direction where Chen Mu was leaving, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"The alliance's covert move ended in failure. If we return like this, wouldn't it be a wasted trip..."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his sleeves, throwing out a human-shaped blood spirit with no facial features visible.

Then he pinched his fingers and knocked on his brows, and with a slight pull, he drew out a wisp of soul thought and suddenly injected it into the blood and soul.

The next moment, blood flashed, and the original blood soul turned around. When it reappeared, it had turned into the same appearance as him.

Yan Xinjue smiled, extremely satisfied with the "clone" in front of him.

"go with!"

At his command, the blood soul clone smiled slightly, bowed, then lightly stepped on the clouds and rose up, chasing after Chen Mu.

……

The East China Sea is vast and boundless.

Chen Mu walked between heaven and earth, watching the waves of the sea of ​​clouds and the endless waves rolling, his mind was fluctuating.

As he was sighing with emotion, he suddenly realized something. His escape light stopped and he turned his head to look behind him.

"Which fellow Taoist is accompanying you? Please show yourself."

The sound is clear and melodious, and can be heard over a hundred miles.

The sound echoed for only a few breaths, and then a flash of light appeared not far away, and a figure appeared calmly. Who else could it be but Yan Xinjue?
He straightened his robes, then bowed and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chen, how are you?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, his eyes turned cold, and he said calmly: "It was Daoist Fellow Yan who followed me all the way. I wonder what's going on?"

Yan Xinjue's smile remained unchanged as he spoke in a serious tone, "I have come specially to congratulate you on your escape. Thinking back to sixty years ago, I was deeply saddened for you."

"Oh?"

Chen Mu naturally didn't believe it. His bright eyes were so bright and deep that they seemed to make people dizzy when looking at them.

"Since you are so sincere, why don't you show your true self instead of sending out a human-like soul..."

After he finished speaking, his spiritual thoughts quietly spread out, intending to find the whereabouts of Yan Xinjue's true body.

The clone method that he could see through was definitely not of a very high level, and it certainly had some major drawbacks.

That is, the distance between the two cannot be too far. Often, the clone is here, while the real body is hiding in some corner secretly operating...

Yan Xinjue was stunned. He didn't expect that Chen Mu could see through his clone method at a glance.

However, he did not panic. Instead, he smiled calmly and said, "It was probably because of your grand event at Dragon Palace that I was a little scared."

He shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "Sometimes I doubt it. Fellow Daoist, have you really been trapped in that void for the past sixty years? Otherwise, how could your strength increase so terrifyingly?"

Looking at Yan Xinjue, who was dressed in a dark blue wide-feathered Taoist robe and a golden crown with seven-star lotus treasures on his head, and whose attire was even more righteous than that of the Xuanmen righteous sect, Chen Mu lowered his eyes and whispered, "Isn't Fellow Daoist Yan the same..."

He vaguely remembered that the last time they met, Yan Xinjue was just an average person.

Now he can cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage like him, which shows how great the opportunity is.

Yan Xinjue waved his hand and said politely, "How can I compare to you, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Mu had no intention of saying more to him. He searched secretly for a moment, but couldn't find the real body. He simply withdrew his spiritual thoughts and said directly, "Fellow Daoist Yan, did you come with me as a clone just to greet me?"

"Of course not."

Yan Xinjue paused and asked tentatively, "I came here to ask fellow Taoist, where is the Taoist who disappeared with you in the Thirty-Sixth Immortal Palace now?"

As expected, he came for Taoist Jiumo!

Chen Mu's eyes turned cold: "Fellow Daoist Yan, why do you think I would tell you?"

Yan Xinjue chuckled, his eyes inexplicable, and whispered, "It's up to you whether to say it or not, how can I interfere?"

"But fellow Daoist, don't you know that sometimes, not saying anything is also an answer?"

Although he said this, he secretly released some spiritual power to pay attention to the front, intending to record all of Chen Mu's reactions so that he could speculate later.

But Chen Mu could see through his little tricks, so he didn't fall for it at all. He just smiled faintly and said, "Then congratulations to Brother Yan on your success."

Yan Xinjue's eyes narrowed, and after a few dry laughs, he knew that it was too late. After pondering silently for a moment, he bowed and said, "Since that's the case, I won't delay you on your journey home. Farewell!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and was about to turn into a bloody light and leave.

At this moment, Chen Mu suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Yan Xinjue paused, feeling something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to fly away regardless of anything. However, after a few leaps, he found that the surrounding universe had been locked.

He took a deep breath, turned around and forced a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you have any other advice?"

"when……"

Chen Mu stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind. He looked cold and said in a cold voice, "Where I am, you can come and go as you please."

As soon as these words were spoken, golden light suddenly appeared!

While locking the heaven and earth, he also made way for a silver lightning bolt that was like a punishment from heaven to rush straight in, rumbling forward!
Yan Xinjue's face changed. Although he was just a clone here, even if he was damaged, he would not lose his life.

But there is still a trace of his soul in it. If it is killed by the silver thunder, it will definitely hurt his soul.

So if it is possible not to be damaged, it is better not to be damaged.

But right now, how could he decide?
"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

"I respect you as a man, why do you behave like this?"

He roared angrily, shook his body, and suddenly disappeared. Then, tens of thousands of tiny blood rays split out and rushed in all directions.

Chen Mu acted as if he didn't hear anything, his eyes were cold.

For these demon cultivators, is there anything they cannot do?
"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the blood-red light in the sky could not escape the lightning, and was directly struck into blood and water that burst out.

There was a swarm of lightning snakes flying in the sky, and the aura was terrifying and intimidating.

A wisp of soul consciousness slowly rose, revealing only Yan Xinjue's facial features.

Looking at the blood splashing down, he couldn't help but tremble with fear.

With such power, let alone a small soul, even if his real body was here, it would not be easily blocked.

"Well, just because I can't beat you today doesn't mean I can't in the future!"

He suddenly remembered what the Lord had said not long ago, and with a surge of anger in his heart, he shouted:

"Chen Mu, you and I will fight again one day. When that happens, I will make you pay back tenfold, even a hundredfold!"

The shouts still echoed, but the soul slowly dissipated with the wind...

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. After sending out his spiritual sense to search around, he saw that there was nothing else to find. He waved his sleeves to retract his spiritual power, stepped on the strong wind, and continued to move towards Beiyuan.
