My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 693 Shrinking Earth

at dusk.

Chen Mu returned to the Jiwei Courtyard in Yangdufang. As soon as he passed the screen wall at the entrance, he saw a group of people discussing Zhong Qing.

This is……

"The Thousand Machines Sect has taken the initiative to terminate Zhong Qing's Daoist military contract and is sending him back to Haizhou." One of the people in the crowd seemed to notice Chen Mu's confusion and explained.

“The wounded and disabled Dao soldiers on Bianshe Star previously received the same treatment.”

Is there such a good thing? !

Chen Mu was filled with envy.

He came to the outer heavens as a Dao soldier for the purpose of compiling the Dao Foundation Diagram.

Now, by chance, I have obtained the Jade Cicada Dao Foundation Map, and my initial goal has already been achieved.

If I could return to Haizhou to cultivate, it would definitely be more peaceful than staying on this Tianxing.

If I were to pretend that I had suffered a relapse of the plague...

Chen Mu felt a stirring in his heart.

“With his spirit damaged and his path hopeless, returning to Haizhou is a good ending.” Another person in the crowd sighed.

"There's been no movement for the past few months, and I thought we were going to let these people fend for themselves. Now it seems that the Thousand Machines Sect still has a conscience."

"Conscience? Bullshit! The Thousand Machines Sect's arrangement is nothing more than cleaning up the mess for that Divine Lord Lü!" A young man in black retorted from the crowd.

"How dare you say such a thing!"

"If they can do it, why can't I say it..."

Chen Mu glanced at the young man arguing stubbornly, then silently moved away from the crowd.

It's something I can think about, but I really can't say too much about it.

Lü Yue was a primordial spirit deity, and a few words of criticism had no effect on him. But if he was in a bad mood, a mere breath from him could wipe out most of the Dao soldiers in the courtyard.

On the second-floor corridor of the west wing, Chen Mu looked at Zhong Qing, who was grinning from ear to ear among the crowd below, and shook his head slightly.

If Zhong Qing can safely return to Haizhou and escape the world of Qi cultivators, he may be able to have a peaceful second half of his life.

But the other party came to the outer heavens to become a Dao soldier, and his initial purpose must have been to cultivate Qi and achieve immortality. Now that his path to immortality has been abruptly cut off, it is clearly not in line with Zhong Qing's original will.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable, and we have no choice but to accept it.

"It's definitely too late to fake illness now."

"Without the Star Lord's permission, it's useless for me to force my way through or sneak through the Heavenly Gate."

"Tian Guan Star is relatively safe, so I'd better just focus on my cultivation."

Chen Mu glanced at Zhong Qing again, silently wished his neighbor well, and then turned and went back to his room.

……

Late at night.

Chen Mu sat on the low couch by the window.

The giant spirit, who could change size at will and become the same size as himself, sat opposite him across a square table.

A jade gourd, about the height of a forearm, is placed in the center of a square table, filled with a mixture of Rejuvenating Soup and Nourishing Spirit Wine.

next moment.

A crimson light flashed within the black and red vortex on the giant spirit's face, and an invisible suction force arose out of nowhere.

Streaks of light flew out from the white jade gourd, like countless silver and red fish swimming in the air for a moment, before diving into the black and red vortex.

A warm current suddenly surged from Chen Mu's limbs and bones. The slight deficiency caused by continuously draining his magical power was immediately replenished by this warm current.

"Using the Giant Spirit God to cast the Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique is indeed very effective!" Feeling the comfortable sensation coming from his body, Chen Mu's eyes were full of excitement.

The Soul-Absorbing and Rejuvenating Technique can forcibly absorb the vital energy of living beings to repair itself, but the vital energy it absorbs is impure and the repair methods are rather crude and brutal, so there may be hidden dangers within it.

Therefore, although Chen Mu had used the Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique to assist the Heavenly Demon Body, he never applied the technique to his own body.

The same applies to this spell; the Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique still does not affect the caster himself, but only the Giant Spirit God.

The one that truly gave back to itself was the Giant Spirit God.

The vital energy it feeds back is not only pure and gentle, but the techniques are also more delicate and rapid.

"With the Giant Spirit God as a transit point, I'm essentially given an extra digestive system. The speed at which I recover my own vital energy far exceeds my own. If we combine the two and work together..." Chen Mu's eyes gleamed.

"Before, I could only practice reversing my innate Qi a maximum of twelve times a day. Any more than that and my body would suffer." "But now, with the Giant Spirit God's assistance, my Dao Foundation cultivation speed might even double!"

Chen Mu immediately grinned and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

……

With abundant vital energy, a complete Dao foundation diagram, and the acceleration of the Giant Spirit God and Soul-Seizing Return to Vitality, the energy is abundant.

In the days that followed, Chen Mu's speed in reshaping jade seeds indeed increased significantly.

The outer wall of the jade is growing more and more fine lines at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the experience value of the Jade Cicada Secret Manual is increasing rapidly every day.

One morning more than twenty days later, after Chen Mu finished processing the jade snail, he habitually practiced the innate Qi construction foundation in reverse.

Before long, his body suddenly trembled. His entire body felt as if it had been electrocuted, filled with a slight tingling sensation. The protective aura hidden around him suddenly appeared.

On the originally white jade-colored spiritual light, a large number of golden patterns suddenly appeared.

Chen Mu was overjoyed, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes. With a slight thought, the gray wall appeared before him.

Jade Cicada Secret Manual: 5/10000/Seventh Tier;

"It really is the Jade Cicada Secret Manual."

Although he had lost the Heaven-Bearing Gourd, Chen Mu still had the Qi-Nourishing Pill. Although it was expensive, it ensured that his cultivation speed remained unchanged. Later, after resolving the demonic poison, his vital energy was plentiful, and the Jade Cicada Manual progressed steadily.

With the acceleration of the Giant Spirit God and the Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique, the Jade Cicada Secret Manual has entered a completely new stage.

"Sixth-tier perfection, it seems I've overcome another hurdle." Chen Mu looked at the golden patterns on his protective aura with great interest.

He had previously completed the third stage of the Jade Cicada Secret Manual, gaining the aura of the Jade Cicada. Now, entering the seventh stage has brought about another tremendous change.

……

The following afternoon, three hundred li south of Tianguan City.

Amidst an endless expanse of verdant mountains and forests, a golden beam of light appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the light vanished abruptly, and when it reappeared, it had already run a hundred feet away.

The light flickered on and off, like a jumbled frame of a video, rapidly advancing in bursts.

After a long while, the golden light landed on the top of a tree that was tens of meters high. The light subsided, and Chen Mu's figure appeared.

"Shrinking the earth and shifting the body! I never expected that the Jade Cicada's aura could shrink the earth and shift the body!" Chen Mu smiled brightly.

With the enhancement of the Jade Cicada's aura, not only was the protective spiritual light of his body strengthened, but his Earth-Soaring Rainbow Light Escape Technique also underwent a qualitative change. Not only did his escape speed immediately increase by three points, surpassing his previous fastest escape technique, Yin Wind Escape, but he also gained the ability to shrink his body and teleport.

"Now, the furthest distance it can travel at once is 100 zhang (approximately 50 meters)."

"If one's Dao Foundation is perfected, and one's Primordial Spirit is achieved, the distance of the Rainbow Light Teleportation will definitely increase greatly. At that time..."

"Golden light leaping from the ground? Shrinking the earth to an inch?"

"Ha ha!"

"What a magical power!"

Chen Mu grinned and laughed.

Immediately, golden light rose again above the boundless forest, flashing continuously.

……

It wasn't until evening, after his magical power had been depleted several times by the rainbow light that Chen Mu finally dragged his exhausted body back to Tianguan City, his heart filled with excitement.

He didn't rush back to Yangdufang, but went to Tianshi Street instead.

Having made great progress in cultivation, it's only natural to celebrate. While a trip to Yulanzha is impossible, one can still purchase some exotic beast meat to satisfy one's appetite.

But soon after he entered the street, he discovered that the white jade gate at the end of the street was open.

Numerous Qi cultivators of all ages and genders emerged from the Heavenly Gate.

They looked around cautiously or boldly, their expressions much like when Chen Mu first arrived in Tianguan City.

New Taoist soldiers?

Chen Mu suddenly realized.

Lu Shenjun's poison caused heavy losses to the Heavenly Dao Army. In order to better defend Tianxing, it was natural to conscript more Dao Army soldiers.
