Chapter 3809: Mysterious Little Gra.s.s
In her head, she could not help but recall the pain and hurt she had experienced during the thirty years she spent wandering the Immortals’ World alone.
In the past, when she followed her master, she spent extravagantly. She truly spent money in the Immortal Rising City without worry. The supreme grade immortal crystals formed a mountainous pile in her s.p.a.ce Ring. There was no such concept as poverty.
However, she pa.s.sed the years she spent training outside in dest.i.tution. The good friends she made turned against her over a single supreme grade Immortal Tier pill, devolving into a battle to the death.
For the sake of a pitiful amount of supreme grade immortal crystals, thousands of Golden Immortals and even Daluo Golden Immortals would fight to the death.
She spent these years in utmost caution and anxiety. Even when she entered some smaller cities, she moved carefully, afraid of provoking any cultivators she could not afford to offend.
During the years without her master, Jing Mumu truly experienced the various faces of society. She witnessed the vile nature of the world. She could not find a single person that she could trust.
The only companion that she could trust was a spiritual plant that she accidentally found in a forest in the past.
A spiritual plant that was even slightly weaker than her in strength!
At this moment, when the nostalgic, familiar voice rang out in her head, Jing Mumu immediately felt like she had found a cove of safety in this cold and brutal world.
In the dim and damp cave, Jing Mumu’s lips trembled gently. The coldness and caution that filled her eyes gradually vanished, replaced by a layer of mist. Eventually, it turned into tears of many emotions that fell to the ground.
“Little Gra.s.s, do you hear this? Master has returned. Master has come to collect me. As long as we return to master’s side, we’ll be completely safe. We won’t have to live in constant anxiety anymore.” Jing Mumu looked at her wrist. There was a bracelet formed from a tender blade of gra.s.s.
This was Little Gra.s.s, the spiritual plant that Jing Mumu had encountered in a forest. It was her only trustworthy companion during the years she spent training outside.
The plant did not have a name originally. Jing Mumu had given it the name Little Gra.s.s.
“Little Mumu, you may get whatever you want under master’s protection, but you must not overly rely on your master. Possessing strength yourself is the root of survival.” Little Gra.s.s’s voice rang out in Jing Mumu’s head.
At this moment, Little Gra.s.s gave off the presence of an early Golden Immortal. Despite possessing the same cultivation as Jing Mumu, it was clearly slightly weaker.
Jing Mumu knew that Little Gra.s.s had intelligence. Although it could not take a human form or converse with the human tongue, it could communicate using the senses of the soul.
“I obviously understand that.” Jing Mumu nodded. She looked at Little Gra.s.s on her wrist sincerely and said seriously, “However, possessing backing still makes a very big difference. With a powerful backing, some precious cultivation resources come relatively easy. Without backing, you need to risk your life in exchange for all resources.”
“Little Gra.s.s, you’ve had it difficult as well during the years you accompanied me. In the future, I might still suffer, but I can’t let you suffer.”
“As a result, when I see my master again, I will definitely ask my master to treat you well. As long as you have my master’s a.s.sistance, I’m certain you’ll reach Daluo Golden Immortal very soon. Even becoming a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal won’t be a dream.”
“Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal? Hahahaha.” Little Gra.s.s laughed.
Jing Mumu could distinctly feel that something was amiss from Little Gra.s.s’s casual response, but her eagerness and excitement from being about to return to her master’s side made her subconsciously miss this detail.
Boom!
At this moment, a rumble seemed to shake the earth. A large number of cracks appeared on the walls of the cave that Jing Mumu was hiding in. Boulders crashed down.
“Jing Mumu, did you think we wouldn’t be able to find you by hiding here? We’ve already arranged the Net of Ensnarement in this region. You’re done for this time.” An elderly voice rang out from above, erupting in the cave like thunder.
Under the impact of the sound wave, the cave on the brink of collapse finally gave in, completely collapsing with a rumble.
“Oh no, I’ve been found by the Xi family.” Jing Mumu’s expression changed slightly. A low quality Immortal Tier sword immediately appeared in her hand. She thrust out with it, and dazzling light shot out and sliced apart the rock above her. Forcefully, she carved a path to the outside world using sword Qi. Afterwards, she shot out as a streak of light.
However, as soon as she appeared outside, a net unfurled in the air and enveloped a region of a hundred kilometres across, trapping Jing Mumu inside.
“Jing Mumu, I know your battle prowess is unparalleled. None of your peers match you, and you can fight on equal footing with Daluo Golden Immortals as an early Golden Immortal. Multiple Daluo Golden Immortals pursued you, but you managed to escape with ease in the end. As a result, the clan specially sent me this time.”
“I am a mighty peak Xuan Immortal, yet today, I have to personally deal with an early Golden Immortal junior. Jing Mumu, you may die, but you should feel honoured.”
A bald old man hovered in the air in front of Jing Mumu. He wore striped robes as he radiated with the presence of a peak Xuan Immortal.
He only needed a single step to reach Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal!
“Do you see the net over you?” The bald old man pointed above and smiled. “This is a high quality immortal artifact. I’ve enveloped a hundred kilometres of this place already.”
“Jing Mumu, I know you possess an immortal technique that turns you into lightning, allowing you to vanish in a split second. However, I wonder if you can escape from this net!”
As soon as he said that, the old man’s pupils narrowed slightly. In his eyes, a blinding streak of light rapidly grew larger. It seemed like a bolt of lightning.
Jing Mumu wielded the low quality immortal artifact and used the Linear Lightning Release to instantly approach the peak Xuan Immortal old man. The low quality immortal artifact in her hand shone brilliantly, thrusting towards his forehead.
She moved like lightning. At that moment, Jing Mumu demonstrated her decisive side. She went straight for the kill.
She possessed both the Sword Immortal Const.i.tution and the Sword Const.i.tution of Soul Connection. Any sword technique in her hands would skyrocket in strength. In the past, she could already unleash many sword techniques to a hundred and twenty percent of their force before she had even reached Golden Immortal.
Now, with her breakthrough, the power she unleashed from these sword techniques went from a hundred and twenty percent to a hundred and fifty percent.
In other words, with her current strength, any sword technique in her hands would break through their limits in power and perform extraordinarily.
And, that was only one aspect. The benefits brought on by the two const.i.tutions were not limited to this.
At the same time, it also strengthened the Laws of the Sword, strengthened her energy, and so on.
When Jing Mumu used the Laws of the Sword, it would be much stronger than other cultivators at the same level.
The energy cultivated by the two const.i.tutions was also more pure than other cultivators at the same level.
If the energy of other cultivators could be described as a trickle, then Jing Mumu’s energy would be a raging river.
At this moment, Jing Mumu’s full-powered strike could even threaten Daluo Golden Immortals.
All while she had only broken through to Golden Immortal recently!
