My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 668 Heavenly Gate

In front of a three-story building in Qiandeng City.

Meng Qingchan lay in the rocking chair, looking at Chen Mu expressionlessly.

But as she looked at it, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a gentle smile.

Chen Mu, who had been calm and composed, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

Since she herself had no intention of going to the outer heavens, why was Meng Qingchan even happier?

"You'd better head to Tianguan Star as soon as possible," Meng Qingchan said with a smile.

"You may not be afraid of being struck by lightning, but you are definitely afraid of being hunted down by Lü Yue."

What do you mean?

Chen Mu was somewhat bewildered.

"Have you read 'The Jade Cicada's Secret Manual'?" Meng Qingchan said with a playful smile.

I watched it, but I didn't practice it!

"You mean you didn't practice, right?" Meng Qingchan said with a chuckle.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"This secret manual is something I comprehended from the 'Exquisite Golden Chapter'. It has a special feature called the transmission of the mind seal."

"Once you see it, it will be engraved into your jade seed like a seal. Even if you don't practice, it will slowly transform the jade seed." Meng Qingchan's smug smile became even more conspicuous.

"It's not obvious yet, but after a while, your aura will change. If you continue to stay in Haizhou, Lü Yue will definitely find out."

“That old guy’s ‘Exquisite Golden Chapter’ is of dubious origin, and he will never allow anyone else to practice its secret techniques.”

"If you want to live, you'd better hide in outer space as soon as possible."

"You tricked me!" Chen Mu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately examined the jade seed internally.

After a careful search, a difference was indeed found in the corner. A golden pattern had appeared on the inner wall of the translucent, jade-white jade.

It must have been something they did when they finished compiling the secret manual last time!

Chen Mu's face was gloomy.

"You're going to use the Heavenly Demon Path to kill me, so it's not too much for me to retaliate a little, is it?" Meng Qingchan spread her palms and smiled.

"Besides, although the Jade Cicada Secret Manual is not as good as the Exquisite Golden Chapter, it is still a proper Dao foundation secret technique."

"Seeing you hesitate and dare not practice, I gave you a push and helped you take a step forward."

"Since that's the case, then I'll help you take a step forward!" Chen Mu lowered his eyelids, his eyes filled with coldness.

“Everyone has to die sooner or later, I’ll die first for you!” His expression hardened.

Nightmare wins!

The perfected Nightmare Spell suddenly activated, and its eerie power instantly passed through the Heavenly Gourd, binding Meng Qingchan's spirit.

A torrent of delusional thoughts and the flames of the seven emotions surged forth, rushing straight along the hidden connection.

boom!

Colorless flames suddenly appeared around Meng Qingchan.

Strands of black ash immediately emerged from her body. Instead of falling to the ground, these powders floated upwards and gathered into clumps in mid-air.

All sorts of bizarre demons and monsters coalesced and appeared in the black ashes, then immediately turned into ashes and scattered in all directions, disappearing without a trace.

A sharp, soul-piercing pain struck, and Meng Qingchan's face instantly turned ashen.

But she didn't utter a single cry of pain; instead, her smile grew even wider.

Smile laugh!

Laughing!

Feeling the rapidly dissipating Yin Spirit power, Chen Mu gritted his teeth.

Take the mountain!

A massive amount of Yin spirit power was extracted from the Five Ghosts Bag.

Like adding fuel to the fire, the flames that had initially only enveloped Meng Qingchan within a meter's radius rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, the entire three-story building was completely engulfed.

A surge of black smoke erupted from Meng Qingchan's body, and her black clothes quickly turned white.

Her entire being seemed to glow with a scarlet light, like a piece of white paper that had been set ablaze.

"Don't even think about escaping. The Plague Immortal Flag is spreading plague throughout Haizhou. It's Lu Yue's eyes and ears. You can't get out."

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Qingchan turned into white ashes and disappeared.

Only a playful chuckle lingered in Chen Mu's ears.

"Damn Meng Qingchan!" Chen Mu waved his hand to put away the Seven Emotions Flame, but there was no joy on his face.

Meng Qingchan's disappearance is only temporary; she will surely recover inside the Chengtian Gourd in the near future.

To completely drive them out, we must throw the Chengtian Gourd out of the Thousand Lanterns City Cave.

However… Chen Mu’s attention was focused on the large, shadowy eye above his head.

The invisible aura that permeated the entire Thousand Lanterns City, like a colossal entity, still lingered faintly.

It's as if it's grown up with Thousand Lanterns City; you can feel it, but you can't grasp it or take it away.

With this thing, even if he throws the Chengtian Gourd out a hundred times, the gourd will still be able to return to the Thousand Lanterns City Cave Heaven.

"The fear of death he showed before, as if the idea of ​​resurrection was just a lie."

"Now it seems that they were just putting on an act against me!" Chen Mu said with a sour face.

"She is waiting for the Jade Cicada Secret Manual to activate on its own, leaving me with no way out but to go to the outer stars as soon as possible."

"Dry!"

……

three days later.

At the summit of Fuyang Mountain, accompanied by a buzzing sound, a powerful force swept outwards in all directions, scattering the clouds in the sky.

A massive white jade archway, over ten meters high, appeared out of thin air.

Above the three doorways are translucent curtains that ripple with water, and pavilions and towers can be vaguely seen inside.

"It's been a long time." Lu Han looked up at the Jade Gate in the sky and sighed as he climbed the stone steps of the mountain path toward the top of the mountain. "The last time I saw the Heavenly Gate was twenty years ago."

"Senior Brother Lu, is there any great danger on Tianguan Star?" someone asked from the side.

"It can be said to be dangerous, as demons often attack the protective laws and restrictions."

“But there are combat soldiers to deal with them. We are auxiliary soldiers, and most of the time we hide in the city camp, so we are basically not in any danger,” Lu Han explained.

Although it wasn't the first time they'd heard this claim, a collective sigh of relief still rippled through the crowd.

Chen Mu followed the group as they slowly climbed the mountain. On the surface, he seemed to be attentively listening to Lu Han recount his past deeds, but in reality, he was always paying attention to the Jade Gate at the top of the mountain.

"This Heavenly Gate is a bit like the Gates of Hell."

"It's just that one has a sinister and cold aura, while the other is bright and warm. It must be due to the different secret techniques they use."

“That small mirror hanging at the top of the doorway should be the Divine Bone-Illuminating Mirror,” Chen Mu glanced up.

Because it was still too far away, one could only vaguely see a white jade mirror the size of a human head hanging above the doorway.

At first glance, it seems ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one senses a mysterious and spiritual aura surrounding it.

Chen Mu couldn't help but immerse himself in the jade seed, examining it again. He found that the golden pattern in the corner remained unchanged, neither expanding nor shrinking, and only then did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"This level of transformation should not be detected for the time being."

"Otherwise, Meng Qingchan wouldn't have been able to enter a special slumber without any resistance after being burned by the Seven Emotions Flames."

"Thinking about it this way, the current Chengtian Gourd should be able to successfully evade the detection of the Bone-Illuminating Mirror."

He didn't dare to check the large eyes of the Thousand Lanterns City Shadow Eyes at this moment, for fear of revealing his presence and being discovered.

I followed the others up the mountain with trepidation in my heart, trying my best to keep my expression unchanged.

To prevent anyone from probing his emotions, he even secretly activated the Seven Emotions Spell of the Heavenly Demon to control his emotional fluctuations and prevent anyone from discovering his flaws through the changes in his seven emotions.

Soon, everyone arrived at the mountaintop in an orderly fashion. A staircase made of clouds led directly to the Heavenly Gate in mid-air.

Chen Mu followed the crowd up step by step.

I was initially worried that something might go wrong, but nothing happened.

The young man standing beside the jade gate, dressed in black and red armor, with eyes as sharp as swords, didn't even glance at him.

The jade-white mirror above his head showed no sign of anything unusual.

Chen Mu followed Lu Han and the others, and they passed through the Heavenly Gate without any problems.

It felt as if I had walked through a curtain of mist, and then a slight chill ran through me before a burst of noise filled my ears.

Upon closer inspection, a wide street came into view.

Three- or four-story restaurants and shops line both sides, with rows of rooftops adorned with animal-shaped ridges and upturned eaves in the distance. Several towering watchtowers can be faintly seen further away.

Chen Mu glanced back at Tianmen and let out a long sigh of relief. His tense heart finally relaxed completely.

He had thought that coming to Tianguan Star would be complicated, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

"You worried for nothing."
