I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

Gan River Lower Courtyard.

The long corridor in front of the wooden house.

Chen Mu lay on a rocking chair, his right hand raised in front of his eyes, covered with strands of blue and white lightning.

After a while, Chen Mu dispersed the Kui Water Yin Thunder and frowned as he repaired the injuries to his body.

Upon closer observation, however, he found no new traces of Divine Orifices opening throughout his body.

"What a pity..." He was thrilled at having collected all Five Elements Escape Techniques, and had been hoping that more Divine Secret Skills would emerge.

"I wonder when the True Form of Heavenly Demon will be fully nurtured."

At this moment, the nine orifices within his body were connected by an invisible web, with the Divine Orifice at his brow still in contact with the flesh, while the other eight had completely detached.

Though these orifices spread throughout the body, they seemed to exist in another void of a different dimension.

The first Divine Orifice had become the pivot connecting the body and the nine orifices. The absorption of blood essence, the exchange of vital forces, and the transformation of the body were all done through it.

"Start over from scratch? Grafting?" Chen Mu’s eyebrows shot up involuntarily.

"Is the so-called Heavenly Demon Heretical Method simply grafting and cultivating a more powerful True Form of Heavenly Demon onto oneself?"

"The human body has its limits, so instead of remaining human, directly cultivate a new Celestial Demon body? Tsk..." Chen Mu couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.

"Though the style may not be to my taste, if it means having more Divine Secret Skills... well, that wouldn’t be so bad, ha!" he thought cheerfully. "I should feed this True Form of Heavenly Demon some more tonic."

Chen Mu immediately activated Five Ghosts Moving Mountain, and a human-sized black fog emerged before him, with the Exotic Force of Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles spreading around him.

In his unique perception, the heavy Primordial Energy was slowly seeping out of the black fog.

He immediately manipulated Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles, striving to gather it together.

In the past, Chen Mu couldn’t see Primordial Energy outside the Divine Orifices. Even after the nine orifices were connected, he still couldn’t see it, but Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles could sense and absorb Primordial Energy.

"Not being able to see it is because the original body didn’t have this ability."

"Now that I can sense and grab it using Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles, is it the capability of the new body, the True Form of Heavenly Demon?" At this moment, Chen Mu was already enraptured by the mysterious allure of the Heavenly Demon Heretical Method.

He placed a bean-sized cluster of Primordial Energy in front of the first Divine Orifice at the brow.

It was as if pulling the plug from a backed-up sink, the heavy and sluggish Primordial Energy suddenly leaked into the Divine Orifice.

After a good long while, once his brow swelled ever so slightly, as if sated and no longer absorbing, Chen Mu stuffed the remaining Primordial Energy into the Five Ghosts Bag.

"I had only heard that Primordial Energy could refine Divine Orifices and achieve the River Chariot Dao Embryo. I never imagined it could also accelerate the condensation of the True Form of Heavenly Demon."

He had previously discovered that a portion of Primordial Energy would vanish after circulating between the nine orifices. It was precisely this disappearing Primordial Energy that bolstered the vitality of the True Form of Heavenly Demon.

He began trying to replenish it from the outside immediately. Sure enough, the vitality between the nine orifices began to grow much faster.

"So close now, so close."

"Once this True Form of Heavenly Demon emerges, I shall likely glimpse a hint of the True Form of the Cloud Mirage Celestial Demon."

...

Afternoon.

Basking in the warm sunlight, Chen Mu closed his eyes, casually condensing the Divine Orifice Talisman, almost slipping into a dream.

The topknot on top of his head shook, and the United Heart Rope that tied back his hair suddenly began to tremble.

Chen Mu opened his eyes in astonishment.

"Shang Huan and Lu Ku? Why would those two come to the Gan River Lower Courtyard?"

The power of perception granted by the United Heart Curse allowed Chen Mu to detect that the previously faint connection with Lu Ku and Shang Huan, due to the distance, was suddenly growing stronger.

And as time passed, it became ever stronger.

This meant that the two were rapidly approaching!

After a brief sense of their location, he discovered that they were heading straight toward him in a direct line!

"Something’s not right!" Chen Mu suddenly sat up.

He immediately activated the perceptual power of the United Heart Curse and instantly saw Shang Huan’s condition, causing his face to turn pale.

Chen Mu couldn’t believe that the gaunt, nearly skeletal figure in the perception, could be the once near-spherical chubby Shang Huan.

Even more bizarre was Lu Ku, who had somehow grown onto Shang Huan’s body, with only a face left!

Chen Mu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

...

A hundred miles beyond the Lower Courtyard of Gan River there was a small river.

Shang Huan waded through it quickly, swinging his body dramatically, struggling to free himself from the drag of the riverbank’s mud, and laboriously running towards the shore. He fell several times in succession, getting covered in mud, but there was no time to care.

At that moment, a figure suddenly emerged in his mind.

"What the hell are you doing!" Chen Mu’s voice was full of astonishment.

"Brother Mu, Gongsun, save my life!" Shang Huan’s eyes instantly brimmed with tears, the month-long pursuit had left him utterly exhausted and in too much pain.

"Speak quickly, what exactly is going on." Chen Mu’s scalp tightened, feeling more and more that something was wrong.

"We are being hunted down, only you can give us a sliver of hope." Lu Ku, equally empathetic, calmly said.

Hunted down?

By a powerful foe?!

And these two bastards are actually leading that powerful enemy right to me?

Fuck!

At this moment, Chen Mu wanted nothing more than to strangle them both.

With a murderous look on his face, he said, "You should have gone to Jade Spring Mountain for help, not come looking for me!"

"We did go, but we were blocked... Gongsun, you have to save our lives!" Shang Huan couldn’t help but wail desperately.

Chen Mu’s face immediately grew ugly.

The powerful enemy was evidently wary of Jade Spring Mountain’s strength, hence why they targeted the direction of Jade Spring Mountain to surround and intercept. Allowing Shang Huan to run towards other Lower Courtyards indicated that the enemy was not at all afraid of the martial power of a single Lower Courtyard!

Even if the Lower Courtyard of Gan River, for secret reasons, secretly had a Condensing Aperture elder in residence. The very purpose of the existence of the Gan River Lower Courtyard was the construction of ferry boats. Everything else could be sacrificed. They would definitely not intervene for the safety of one or two disciples; they had to protect the secret of the shipyard inside the mountain.

So am I supposed to bring trouble upon myself?

A flash of severity appeared in Chen Mu’s eyes, and immediately his face turned incredibly grim.

If I really dared to do that, those old guys hiding in the mountains would probably go after me first!

In an instant, he understood—if Lu Ku and Shang Huan really did bring a powerful enemy, the Gan River Lower Courtyard would never help him!

Right away, Chen Mu activated the Longitudinal Rainbow Light, and like a tightly wound spring suddenly released, he shot upwards abruptly.

After reaching a high altitude, he made a sharp turn and headed in the opposite direction from where Shang Huan and Lu Ku came, without looking back, he fled at high speed.

No matter who the enemy was.

I’d rather run first out of respect!

...

Sixty miles east of the Lower Courtyard of Gan River.

The sky was a clear blue, cloudless for miles.

A pearly white Escape Light dashed across the sky with great speed.

"Stop... chasing... me!" Chen Mu shouted furiously over the United Heart channel.

If he hadn’t been afraid of encountering that unknown powerful enemy, he really would have turned back to strangle Shang Huan and Lu Ku first!

"You’ve got to help us!" Shang Huan shouted while frantically tracking him down.

"Have you gone mad or am I the stupid one!" Chen Mu ground his teeth with hatred: "If I help you, do I even have a chance to live?! If that person doesn’t fear a regular Lower Courtyard, then he must be a Condensing Aperture expert. How should I help, by offering up my head?!"

He tried to actively cut off the United Heart connection, but somehow Lu Ku was able to continually lock onto his position. Even after changing directions several times, he still couldn’t shake off the pursuit.

"By now you must be convinced that you cannot escape my tracking," Lu Ku, who had been observing the chase, spoke up, "Moreover, even if you can avoid us, you can’t hide from that horned beast."

"I have no grudges with your pursuers; so long as you don’t come near me, they’d be fools to waste effort catching me," Chen Mu certainly didn’t believe him.

"There’s some bad news I forgot to tell you." Lu Ku’s voice remained calm.

"Judging from a few words from our pursuers, the United Heart Gu planted in our bodies altered our constitution, coincidentally making us suitable to be used as offerings for a ritual called the Heavenly Capital Yuan Embryo."

"They need the Heavenly Capital Yuan Embryo for some ceremony."

"As the master of the United Heart Gu, your constitution is a perfect match for the main offering."

"So, whether we come looking for you or not, from the moment we were captured, you were already on their capture list." Lu Ku’s calm voice carried a hint of amusement: "We’re like grasshoppers on the same rope, you can’t escape."

Chen Mu: "..."

Fuck!
