Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 835: The Confluence of Clear and Turbid Spirits
The tide passed through the southwest of the sky, and every cloud was surging.

The sound of the tide is desolate, and the sound of the clouds rising with the waves is like crying and complaining.

Seeing the envoy in brocade robe escaping with his crippled baby, Cen Sheng was even more frightened and died. The last envoy of the Demon Alliance suddenly changed his expression, shouted loudly, and tried his best to use his demonic energy to break free from the restraints. With a flash of blood, he fled into the distance.

Chen Mu looked back without moving, but Jin Yushan was extremely embarrassed and angry, and he started to chase after him.

As a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, Chen Mu almost killed two people in the battle alone, but even though he joined forces with many of his fellow cultivators, the demon cultivator still escaped.

Putting aside others, even he himself could not accept such a gap. If his own disciples knew about it, how would he have the face to guide his disciples in their practice?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and stare at the escaping light in front of him, shouting wildly: "Don't run away, devil!"

The demon cultivator in front was already cursing loudly in his heart. Normally speaking, with the demon cave in front of him, why would he chase after him so relentlessly? There was no deep hatred between the two of them, so why would he be so stubborn?

However, Jin Yushan would not act according to his wishes, and he himself would not allow himself to be killed.

The two flew farther and farther, and soon disappeared into the horizon.

Xiao Qiang and the others shook their heads and smiled, then looked up at Chen Mu.

Jin Yushan still wanted to use the demon cultivator to prove himself, but they were convinced.

Not for any other reason, but simply because they thought the gap between themselves and Chen Mu was too big.

Once they have this understanding, they actually become more open-minded...

"Chen Mu, since the demon cultivator has left, let's suppress the demon cave quickly." Ancestor Yun Xi stepped forward and said.

The Void Cave has been dispelled, and now only this new magic cave remains in Beiyuan.

As long as they suppress it, their pressure will be reduced by at least 30% when the demon attacks in the future.

Chen Mu smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "This place is not like the Void Cave. If we want to suppress it quickly, we need to work together."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist from Xuantian Mansion waved his sleeves and said sincerely, "Fellow Daoist Chen, please give us your orders, and we will all follow them!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Taoist Xuancheng of Feixing Taoist Palace also quickly expressed his opinion.

Before the group arrived at the magic cave, their slightly relaxed expressions suddenly tensed up and they kept clicking their tongues in amazement.

But in front of him was an unfathomable abyss. If he ignored the pitch-black magic pillars on the ground, it looked more like an endless cave of unknown depth.

And in the deep cave, the devil's breath was rolling, and the place was dark and uncertain, filled with a lonely and strange atmosphere.

In addition, everyone could vaguely see some scenes, as if the state of the demon world was presented to them for the first time through this bordering area.

"So... is that the outer demon realm?"

Peaks and rocks overlap, ravines and gullies crisscross, and only human-like demons are walking everywhere, and ethereal demon souls are walking in groups.

The devil's body is a thousand feet long, the devil's appearance is ten thousand feet long, the devil is flying through the sky, the devil's shadow is covering the ground, and the gloomy fog and strange wind are always accompanying.

The corpses that covered the vast mountains, their rotting bodies and bones, were all laid out in the dark forests that never saw the sun...

Chen Mu's eyes moved, and the scene before him was something he could not see in the previous empty cave.

Everyone remained silent for a long time, feeling somewhat relieved for some reason.

Fortunately, Beiyuan only has this one newly born demon cave, and they are about to suppress it. Otherwise, when the demons attack, with this additional passage, Beiyuan might actually collapse...

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please act quickly." The Taoist from Xuantian Mansion was straightforward and urged.

Chen Mu nodded slightly, waved his hand and threw out a Yuqing Order, driving his magic power towards it.

The others were also shocked when they saw this. Rays of spiritual light shot up into the sky, colorful and filling the entire sky...

After an hour, Jin Yushan returned with his mission accomplished. Seeing that everyone was using their energy to suppress the demon cave, he quickly threw the body of the demon messenger aside, and then joined the queue without stopping.

Until the sky gradually darkened and the night fell, the magic cave slowly became quiet, and the scene of the demon world that had previously appeared in front of everyone also dissipated, and the demonic breath and turbid air became so weak that it was almost invisible.

On the contrary, rays of spiritual light came from all directions, surging with such might that they truly suppressed the magic cave.

The inspiration was extremely strong at that moment, several times stronger than the places where everyone had practiced in the past.

Especially at the place where clear and turbid waters meet, one can even see tangible spiritual energy flowing like a waterfall, rolling over the source of the magic cave below.

Everyone's heart was moved.

By now, they naturally knew that the magic cave was a creation of fate.

That is, after suppressing the magic cave, the accumulated spiritual energy will form a cave. If you can go into it, you can get the spiritual energy to fill your body.

If it weren't for this special time, they would probably never see such a good fortune in their lifetime...

Chen Mu's eyes fixed, he was slightly dazed for a moment, and a strange feeling arose in his mind.

It seemed that as long as he took one step into the intersection of clear and turbid waters ahead, he would be able to achieve the status of a true god in one fell swoop.

However, he knew this was impossible.

The state of spiritual transformation cannot be achieved simply by piling up inspiration.

The spiritual inspiration that was now pouring into his body could at most save him from decades of hard training.

However, it is worth mentioning that the decades here are not comparable to the decades of foundation building or even golden elixir.

The two realms are different, and they cannot be compared...

Chen Mu took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the churning breath in his chest.

Although the others were Xuanmen cultivators, most of them had never entered the source of the spiritual cave. Today was the first time they saw this scene. A newly promoted Nascent Soul from Feixing Taoist Palace could not help but swallow a few mouthfuls greedily when faced with such spiritual energy around him.

This action was immediately noticed by Chen Mu and the others. Taoist Xuancheng's expression changed and he shouted, "No!"

But it was too late. The newly promoted Nascent Soul merged with the spiritual inspiration, immediately attracting countless spiritual energies to sweep over, and with a bang, it sucked him in.

How could he, a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, withstand the surge of spiritual power on this scale?
Seeing that he was about to be washed to death, Chen Mu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He waved his sleeves and swung out a huge wave of water, which covered where he was, circled around him and sucked him out, and saved him from the critical moment.

The newly promoted Nascent Soul had just experienced a life-or-death crisis, and he broke out in a cold sweat. With lingering fear in his heart, he bowed his head and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Chen, for saving my life..."

Chen Mu didn't say much, but Taoist Xuancheng snorted angrily. Judging from his appearance, if he hadn't taken into consideration the presence of many fellow Taoists, he would have scolded him to death.

The newly promoted Nascent Soul couldn't help but look bitter. Even though he had become a Nascent Soul master, within the sect, he was still a disciple of Taoist Xuancheng. If the other party wanted to teach him a lesson, they wouldn't even need an excuse...

Jin Yushan looked back at this time and ordered: "Those who are not in the late Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to go any further, and are not allowed to regulate their breathing and luck here!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and finally looked at Chen Mu.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the fortune here should have been yours. Now that the spiritual cave has been formed, you should step forward and take this fortune." Jin Yushan said again.

Just as he said, the ownership of the fortune here is undisputed. No one in the field can compare to Chen Mu in terms of reputation or contribution.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Chen, I am truly grateful to you for helping the newcomers in our sect..."

Taoist Xuancheng also spoke, his expression sincere and he was indeed grateful.

After all, Feixing Taoist Palace is different from Xuantian Mansion and Fushan Changhe. The former still has its foundation, so one more or one less Nascent Soul cultivator is nothing.

The latter, on the other hand, has accumulated a lot of experience and has produced many talented people in recent years. If we leave out the Jindan cultivators, the strength of the sect is almost the same as that of Xuantian Mansion.

Among the three sects in Beiyuan, only Feixing Dao Palace remained as usual, and naturally regarded this newly promoted Nascent Soul very seriously… “The good fortune here belongs to none other than Fellow Daoist Chen!” he added.

As for the people of Fushan Changhe, they said nothing.

Ancestor Yun Xi, Zhuang Yan, Xiao Qiang and others nodded in agreement, looking even more anxious than Chen Mu himself.

Chen Mu smiled faintly, without pretending to be polite. After nodding to everyone, he walked forward calmly.

Where the clear and turbid meet, the spiritual waves are like the sea, the clear light is like flames, and it is like a raging torrent in the sky. The boundless current and the clouds in the sky almost mix together, creating a momentum that shakes the world.

He was determined in his heart, took a step forward, and truly stepped into the spirit cave.

In an instant, he felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet. There was no rumbling sound like the outside world, and no sound of spiritual energy rushing like flowing water. It seemed that the place he was in was not a spiritual cave, but a clear and open cloud realm.

But the air around was still surging like the sea.

Chen Mu was silent for a moment, then sat down cross-legged. After leaving a trace of his mind to be alert, he gave up all thoughts, practiced his profound skills, and entered into a state of meditation.

In a short while, he discovered a mysterious true rhythm from the seemingly violent inspiration, but every time he tried to capture it with his mind, it escaped.

Chen Mu did not force it, because the true rhyme was related to the state of transformation, and he had not even achieved the state of perfection yet, so it would be of no use even if he caught it.

After thinking it through, he changed his mind, released the restraints on his body, and began to concentrate on guiding the spiritual inspiration into his body.

In an instant, inspiration surged towards him like a sea and a tide, as if it had found a new world...

Outside, Chen Mu himself was still unaware that a layer of white jade had formed where he was sitting, surrounding him like a pagoda. Upon closer inspection, it was all condensed from mist.

Everyone looked at the spirit cave with different expressions. It would be a lie to say that they were not envious, but fortunately they were able to suppress the desires in their hearts and avoid causing a farce that would make outsiders laugh.

"Fellow Daoist Chen was born in Beiyuan. We are truly fortunate!"

Jin Yushan suddenly sighed and said in a deep voice.

"Who said it wasn't..." Taoist Xuancheng murmured and responded.

Compared with Jin Yushan, he has more opportunities to spend time with Chen Mu.

As early as the Zhongzhou Fragrance Competition, he had been following by Chen Mu's side and witnessed with his own eyes how Chen Mu defeated all his peers and won the championship for Beiyuan.

It can be said that if it were not for Chen Mu, they would have had a hard time even competing for the incense, let alone the top spot.

This is even more so now. They have been fighting for a long time without being able to defeat a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. How can they defeat Cen Sheng and others within three days?

Seeing the two of them expressing their feelings in turn, Yun Xi and the others only smiled in silence, but they felt proud in their hearts...

……

An hour later.

The night is silent, and the bright moon moves with the clouds, flickering brightly and dimly.

Chen Mu's mind returned to normal, and he suddenly felt a light in front of his eyes. His body became more and more clear, as if he had been freed from heavy restraints. His magic power rose like a tide, layer by layer.

For a moment, the night sky turned a watery color, and a powerful aura spread all over the sky.

Everyone was very cautious and subconsciously looked up.

But seeing Chen Mu's spiritual light covering his body, the moon almost lost its brilliance and became so majestic that it was impossible to look directly at it.

"Is it done?"

Everyone's eyes seemed to shine as they looked at the figure in front of them.

But even though they saw the flowers, they could not see any trace of perfection.

"how could be?"

"That shouldn't be the case. With such a brilliant idea, how could there not be signs of advancement once absorbed?"

"Could it be that the rumors are wrong? The pure and the turbid balance each other out here. The true inspiration is not as exaggerated as it seems..."

Everyone was speculating, but they didn't realize that it was because they were distracted that they overlooked some details.

Even if you have a lot of ideas, they still need time and effort to be digested.

In just one hour, Chen Mu only had time to refine a small part of it, and the rest was temporarily put aside in his purple mansion.

The most urgent task right now is to support the Black and White Taoist Palace, nothing else is urgent.

Anyway, the spiritual energy has already entered my body, so refining it a day earlier or later will make no difference...

Chen Mu floated down. Seeing that he looked neither happy nor sad, and it didn't seem like anything had happened, everyone suddenly understood.

After they shook their heads and laughed at themselves, Jin Yushan stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, although I have successfully suppressed the Demon Cave in Beiyuan, there is no guarantee that the same can be done in other continents."

"The demon cave took three days to solidify. One day has already passed. In two days, we will face the attack of myriad demons."

"Now that the matter here is over, we might as well part ways now and return to the mountain to make final arrangements to resist the invasion of foreign demons..."

Chen Mu nodded and said, "During this turbulent time, the three Beiyuan sects must help each other."

Jin Yushan smiled and said, "That's for sure. Long before this trip, Master Pingyang had already made arrangements. If one family is in danger, the other two will be notified immediately."

Chen Mu looked at Ancestor Yun Xi, and after seeing her nod, he felt relieved and nodded, "In that case, I am relieved."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves lightly.

Jin Yushan smiled knowingly, bowed to his fellow disciples, and then disappeared in a flash.

Xuan Cheng and others did not stop, thanked Chen Mu again, and then left.

After only the Fushan Changhe disciples were left, Zhuang Yan's expression straightened and he asked, "Are you heading to Zhongzhou next?"

Chen Mu replied, "The two True Lords of the Dao Palace have helped me a lot. Besides, I am still a Supreme True Lord. There is no reason for me to stand by and watch."

Zhuang Yan nodded, not at all surprised by his apprentice's answer.

After all, if it were him, he would most likely make the same choice.

Even though he thought so, he still warned, "With your strength, there should be few in the world who cannot defeat you. However, since you are in the midst of a demonic calamity, the demonic cultivators will inevitably use treacherous tactics. You must not be careless when you go to Central Continent."

Having said this, he paused and said selfishly on behalf of his disciple, "No matter how great the kindness of the two True Lords in the Dao Palace is to you, it is not as important as your own path. If you encounter something that cannot be done, do not be stubborn and deal with it as appropriate..."

Chen Mu was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at his master.

Zhuang Yan said solemnly, "You don't need to look at me like that. It's not that I'm disrespectful to the True Lord. If one day you're in danger, you can even ignore me..."

"Did you take note?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he didn't waste time refuting. He nodded gently, then saluted the others. With a wave of his robe sleeve, he suddenly soared into the sky, transformed into a stream of water, and disappeared in an instant...
