"So, the Primordial Energy didn’t come from the Underground Secret Chamber, but from myself?" Chen Mu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
How could there be Primordial Energy around me?!
Chen Mu didn’t care about eating; he grabbed the great toad and began pondering where exactly the Primordial Energy came from.
A messy array of tests and trials ensued.
Chen Mu looked at the red leather bag in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had never imagined that the so-called soaring Primordial Energy would come from the Five Ghosts Bag.
Each time he used the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain technique and opened the Five Ghosts Bag, streams of Primordial Energy would leak out.
Not only that, there was some on himself as well, but nowhere near as much as from the Five Ghosts Bag.
"Ghosts..."
Chen Mu gradually calmed down.If there was anything in common between him and the Five Ghosts Bag, it was the Ghosts.
The foundation of the Five Ghosts Paper Man was the Ghosts, and his own body’s continuous creation of Divine Orifices connected to the Cloud Mirage Bloodline was also associated with Ghosts. And at that moment, the Five Ghosts Bag contained a group of Ghosts.
These creatures, which to him had always seemed dark and eerie, suddenly became mysterious.
...
"Can you still see it now?" Chen Mu called to the great toad outside the bamboo fence.
"Croak!"
"You can only see a big rock?"
"If you can see the big rock, then that’s right!" Chen Mu revealed a satisfied smile.
Now that he knew the source of the Primordial Energy, he raised the Underground Secret Chamber, expanded the Minor Three Talents Harmony Light Prohibition, and covered the wooden house and small courtyard above the ground. ℟áƝo͍ᛒĚs
Chen Mu also walked out of the small courtyard.
Turning back, he saw a huge rock emerging from the ground, standing in the middle of the forest without any sense of incongruity.
The surface of the rock was grey-brown, even with some dry leaves fallen on it, as if weathered by wind and sun.
"This Light Law Prohibition is impressive!" Chen Mu couldn’t help exclaiming.
Although there were only three fundamental talismans, if the technique is mastered, one could continue weaving and expanding. It could hide the Underground Secret Chamber, and it could hide the bamboo fence’s small compound.
"Just need to sprinkle some wild grass seeds around the empty grounds, and when the grass grows lush, it will truly resemble a wilderness."
"Unfortunately, I won’t be able to leave the house anytime soon."
The Five Ghosts Bag was fine; as long as it wasn’t worn on the body or its use minimized, there wouldn’t be a leakage of Primordial Energy. But the Primordial Energy emanating from his own body was a bit more troublesome.
From the tests, it seemed that as long as he refrained from using techniques like Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles Five Ghosts Possession and other Yin Soul Secret Techniques, the dispersion of Primordial Energy could be decreased, but it was still a hidden danger.
If someone with a keen sense of smell discovered the nuances on him, trouble would immediately ensue.
"So, this thick black energy within the Divine Orifice is what’s called Primordial Energy?" Chen Mu stared at the black energy inside the Divine Orifice.
Inside the Divine Orifice, he could see it clearly.
But once it scattered outside his body, he couldn’t detect it, which was very strange.
"I’ll figure it out eventually."
He suddenly remembered the Ghosts calamity at Mist Smoke Mountain.
"Was that really just for killing, or was it to create Primordial Energy? Or… was it both?"
"Tsk… this world is really chaotic."
"Indeed, staying at home is safer."
He made up his mind and prepared to retreat at home.
This time, he wouldn’t come out of retreat until he completely understood the Primordial Energy and controlled it.
...
In the evening.
The setting sun shone through the towering trees, casting a sparse glow into the bamboo fence courtyard.
Chen Mu sat on the edge of the wooden corridor, dangling his legs and looking at the great toad squatting in the yard.
Five little paper men were lined up beside him, glancing at Chen Mu’s face and then at Yuanbao’s dull wide eyes.
"Speak up!"
"Was it you who spilled the secret?" Chen Mu flicked his legs, poking at the great toad’s snowy white belly.
"If you don’t tell me, how would Mo Wuzhou, a third-generation heir, come to the Gan River Lower Courtyard?"
In response to Chen Mu’s interrogation, the three-meter-tall great toad rolled its eyes upward, fixated on the white clouds above as if they were adorned with flowers, unblinking.
"Playing dumb with me, huh!" Chen Mu was almost amused by irritation: "And here I was, praising you for being tight-lipped."
He immediately flicked his legs again, making ripples on the great toad’s belly.
"Croak!"
"You want to treat me to bugs?"
"I sure as hell don’t eat bugs!"
"Croak!"
"You also want to invite me to the Ling Boat’s Red Chamber?"
"Damn!"
"How would you know about the Red Chamber?!" Chen Mu exclaimed, his eyes bulging.
In his memory, Yuanbao the great toad was a simple demon creature from desolate mountains and rivers, untouched by human civilization, but now…
Looking innocent, the great toad gazed back at Chen Mu: "Croak."
"It’s just that you’ve seen Song Wujie enjoy going there, so you think it’s a good place?"
"Song Wujie? The brothel... how could I possibly know about that?!"
Just thinking about the serious-faced, short, and plump Elder Song in a big red robe visiting a brothel made Chen Mu feel like he was losing his mind.
"You’re trying to get me killed, aren’t you!"
"Qua?" The giant toad looked at Chen Mu with a face full of confusion.
"Do I like it or not?"
"I... I just don’t like it!" Chen Mu stubbornly yelled.
...
Along the banks of the Canglan River.
At the edge of a small forest.
Pu!
Accompanied by a heart-trembling noise, Wu Ruo’s right arm was suddenly torn off at the root.
Yet, she did not utter a sound as her figure flickered, retreating continuously.
When she finally steadied herself, her left hand harshly slapped her right shoulder. The ragged muscles instantly contracted, and the gushing blood stopped spurting.
Her face was ashen, but expressionless, as though the pain from the severed limb was no more than a gentle breeze.
With only her narrow eyes, she coldly stared at a bearded man in a black robe in the distance.
"What a valiant girl!" General Jin admired with a face full of praise.
"It’s a pity you’ve been designated as the Heavenly Capital Yuan Embryo by the Spirit Sovereign, otherwise I would have made you a Vanguard Officer under my command!"
Wu Ruo remained unmoved, her left hand shaped like a blade, and the tips of her fingers suddenly flashed with crimson light.
The next moment, the ground beneath her feet collapsed, and she vanished abruptly, reappearing like a teleport next to General Jin.
Chi!
The previously composed General Jin’s pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly twisted his head to the side.
Even so, an uncontrollable cut appeared on the left side of his cheek.
The cut quickly turned black, and shortly after, half of his face began to shrivel and wither rapidly.
Ha!
A dark crimson glow suddenly erupted from his body.
It seemed as though a monster was hidden beneath his skin, with muscles wildly protruding and shifting.
His body inflated like a balloon and grew to five meters tall with bull horns atop his head, and his eyes turned blood-red, transforming him into something monstrous in a blink of an eye.
He didn’t even appear to move.
Bang!
Wu Ruo was sent soaring into the air.
Her body bent, her head almost touching her heels, as the tremendous force broke her spine.
She tumbled to the ground like a broken doll, struggling for a few moments before collapsing powerlessly to the ground.
Beside her, Yu Lin, Ai Ji, and Shi Xian lay unconscious. Ai Ji, not far away, had all four limbs twisted and was constantly cursing while lying on the ground.
General Jin reached up and peeled off the dried skin on his face, revealing a row of sharp, bloodstained teeth, chilling to the bone.
"Lian Cheng, hand these people over to the Night Traveler God, have them sent to the Heavenly River Water Mansion," he said as his broken cheek rapidly healed, and in the blink of an eye, it was restored.
"Qian Mu, lead the way. Let’s go catch that little rat that escaped."
Qian Mu bowed slightly, his body disintegrating into black feathers and vanishing.
Bang!
A sonic boom rang out as General Jin’s massive form shot into the air like a cannonball. With just a couple of rises and falls, he turned into a small black speck, disappearing into the horizon.
...
In the Lower Courtyard of the Gan River
On the porch of a wooden hut.
Chen Mu sat in a rocking chair.
In his left hand, he held a cup of dark plum-flavored Replenishing Origin Soup. The fingers of his right hand, hanging down from the armrest of the recliner, sparked with lightning.
Experience tales at
Tiny bolts of electricity crackled and jumped between his fingers.
Now with the Harmony Light Law Prohibition Method, the area around the hut was concealed. He had less to worry about and did not need to practice cultivation in the Underground Secret Chamber.
Although the underground was safe, it was ultimately stifling, nothing like the comfort of the porch, where he could enjoy the gentle breeze and the bright moon.
As tiny arcs of electricity spread from his right hand over his entire body, a pulsing sensation faintly emerged in the right side of his chest, as though a second heart had appeared.
"If only the Divine Orifice Talisman could be constructed this quickly as well," Chen Mu sighed.
He was very familiar with this pulsing sensation, which always appeared before a new Secret Chamber opened.
As he was lost in thought, the lightning encompassing his body suddenly flashed and then disappeared.
At the same time, his mind was filled with a vast amount of information about Kui Water Yin Thunder.
He couldn’t help but look toward the gray wall.
Kui Water Yin Thunder: 1/10000/Third Rank;
"Indeed, it has advanced."
"Tsk tsk, this Thunder Law and Heavenly Demon Path really do match well."
After drinking the Replenishing Origin Soup, he activated his soul-capturing powers to heal minor injuries.
He closed his eyes and began to concentrate on the seventh layer of the Divine Orifice Talisman.
This was the key to his current cultivation. Only by solidifying the Divine Orifice and gaining a clear view of the Primordial Energy could he attempt to control and harness it.
