Chapter 273 - Demonic Corpse Forest
With Luan Tian"s reminder, Li Mu immediately tried to activate his own powerful spirit sense that was comparable to the perfected late-stage divine ability.After refining the Pei-Yuan fruit, Li Mu"s consciousness had not only become stronger, but he could also clearly sense the weak changes in the flow and speed of nature"s energy. When he spread his consciousness out, his expression suddenly became strange.
"Eh? Luan Tian, what"s going on? Why do I feel that the amount of Yuan Qi in this world is so low? Instead, there is a strange kind of energy that is extremely pure, but it cannot be absorbed or refined by my cultivation technique."
After scanning it with his Spirit Sense, Li Mu asked with some suspicions.
"Consider yourself careful. I am speaking of this point. In this world, other than Essence Qi, there is also an extremely dense energy that you can sense. This is the Cultivation Source Spirit that ancient cultivators relied on!"
Luan Tian knew a lot of things, and with one sentence he revealed the crux of Li Mu"s doubt.
"Spiritual Qi!" Is this spiritual energy? "It really is a type of energy that isn"t weaker than origin energy. For a martial artist that cultivates with such spiritual energy, their strength shouldn"t be much weaker than our martial artists."Feeling the dense spirit energy drifting between heaven and earth, although Li Mu was unable to absorb and refine it, it was extremely comfortable.
Spiritual energy is a type of energy that is not just a little higher than Yuan Qi. Although it also contains a lot of energy, spiritual energy is much more practical than Yuan Qi. Once you break through to the sacred art realm, I will teach you a spell, then you will know the true power of spiritual energy and Yuan Qi.Luan Tian seemed to specialize in studying spiritual energy, as he said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Spiritual Transformation Art? "I wonder if this name can convert the energy of the Spiritual Aura into Essence Yuan Qi. In that case, the dense Spiritual Aura here would have a chance to be utilized." Li Mu said somewhat excitedly.
"Wrong, spirit transformation is definitely not transforming spirit energy into spirit energy, but rather turning your body"s spirit energy into spirit energy. Don"t think too much, spirit energy is not an energy that we can easily absorb and refine, unless you have reached an unparalleled cultivation level and entered the sage realm, otherwise, don"t even think about it. If ancient cultivators want to cultivate, in addition to having spirit energy and cultivation methods, they also need a special existence in their body, called spirit root."
Although the ancient cultivation world is prosperous, not just anyone can cultivate in it. Their cultivation methods are mainly based on the combination of a type of spiritual root from the human body, and the strength they produce is completely different from our martial arts. So, don"t be so delusional in trying to absorb and refine the spiritual energy here.He was shocked that Li Mu wanted to absorb and refine the pure spirit energy here, and thus gave up such an unrealistic idea.
"If that"s the case, then why did you make me learn that "Spirit Converting Technique" and convert the Essence Qi into Spirit Qi without being able to use it? What"s the use of that?"
Li Mu sighed in disappointment and raised his own question.
Simply put, in the current cultivation world, there is still a small portion of the techniques that have been pa.s.sed down from the ancient cultivation world. According to us, the arts are now considered martial skills, among which, there are some techniques that are not too complicated.Luan Tian evidently did not want to continue chatting with Li Mu. It was also the first time he came to this legendary Grand Mysterious Realm, and he was filled with curiosity about it.
Li Mu naturally understood the meaning of "muddle through the sky". He called Xiao Tian over with a low voice, then pushed Xiao Tian into his embrace, and walked towards the seemingly vast forest. The first thing he did was to find a safe place, and break through to the Divine Arts realm, and only after that would he be able to display his ability of flying in the air. This way, he would be able to save a little more time in the Grand Mysterious Realm.
"Hmm? No, there seemed to be someone here! It seems like there are more than one! "
Li Mu had not walked far, when his face suddenly changed, he immediately retracted all of his Qi, and with a few leaps, he jumped onto a big tree that was one or two metres thick, causing Li Mu to not be able to see what kind of tree it was. He climbed along the tree branches for a while, then hid amongst the dense leaves.Not long after Li Mu hid behind a tree, three black figures swiftly rushed over from afar and coincidentally stopped not too far away from the big tree where Li Mu was.
These three people were all men. It was unknown if it was because of the change of clothes, but just from their attire, Li Mu was unable to determine which sect they belonged to through his strong spiritual consciousness.
"Senior Brother Chen, according to the map given by the sect, we should be at the northwest corner of Grand Mysterious Realm"s area, and this should be the Demonic Corpse Forest marked on the map!"This was one of the three men dressed in black, a man with short, yellow hair. He was currently holding a map, comparing it everywhere.
"Demonic Corpse Forest! Isn"t it just random teleportation? Why did the three of us teleport to this d.a.m.n place, this is a famous fierce place. It"s said that many seniors of my Cang Shan Sword Sect died in this place. "
The one called Senior Brother Chen was an old man. Although he didn"t look middle-aged, he was obviously not young. As soon as he heard that this place was called the Demonic Corpse Forest, he began to sweat profusely.
"Demonic Corpse Forest! This was the Demonic Corpse Forest! "Oh my G.o.d, if Laughing Heavens hadn"t woken me up, then I might have been deceived by that legendary demon corpse!"
Li Mu"s face turned ugly, he had heard about this Demonic Corpse Forest before, it seemed to be one of the most dangerous places within the Grand Mysterious Realm, it was rumored that this old forest covered an extremely large area, and would frequently shoot out a cold, sinister mist from the ground without any warning. Once this mist was touched by a living thing, it would immediately take away his intelligence, causing him to become a living corpse who only knew how to kill.This kind of living dead was said to have already died when they were infected by the fog. They could be called living corpses because these living corpses loved to kill, so they were called demon corpses.
"I didn"t expect this place to be the famous Demonic Corpse Forest. I really didn"t expect this place to have such a fierce reputation."
Luan Tian did not quite understand either. His spiritual consciousness was countless times stronger than Li Mu"s, but he was unable to find anything strange about this place.
"Hu!"A loud sound was heard, and one of the disciples from the Cang Shan Sword Sect spat out a black mist from beneath her feet. The black mist was extremely fast, and it was not large, only covering one of the three disciples" left leg.
"Ah!!""s calf was wrapped by a black mist, causing the Cang Shan Sword Sect male disciple"s body to tremble, following that, Li Mu felt weirdly that the Cang Shan Sword Sect male disciple"s skin had suddenly turned white, her entire body becoming bloodless in an instant.
"To Junior Brother!" To junior apprentice-brother! "What"s wrong with you!"
Seeing his comrades suddenly turn into the terrifying scene in front of him, including Senior brother Chen and the other two Cang Shan Sword Sect disciples, they immediately pulled out their swords from their backs. Cang Shan Sword Sect was good at using swords, so staying on their swords was their number one rule.
The Cang Shan Sword Sect disciple whose entire body had turned white, under the shouts of her two comrades, did not have a single expression. He suddenly opened her eyes, her originally black eyeb.a.l.l.s had actually turned snow-white in such a short amount of time, making him look as if she was sucking in cold air."Roar!"
The Cang Shan Sword Sect disciple whose eyes had already turned white suddenly roared out, revealing his mouth full of sharp fangs. Senior brother Chen and Su Yun"s face changed, this was not just a human, it was clearly a mutated mad beast."It"s over! Junior Brother had just been invaded by the corpse qi and now he has become a demon corpse. Hurry! Cut off his head, or we"ll both die! "
The True Essence in his body surged, the jade green True Essence on the longsword in his hand released a multicolored light, bringing along a sharp Sword Qi as he chopped towards the Named Man"s head, which had turned into a demon corpse.
The sword light flashed as sharp as lightning, seeing that the sword in senior brother Chen"s hand was about to slash onto Named Man"s head, but just at this time, an unusual change occurred. Named Man who had turned into a half human, half ghost like body suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a jet black mist, this black mist was no different from the black mist that had crawled out from the ground, it was clearly the same.
Looking at the oncoming black mist, Senior Brother Chen"s face changed. The longsword in his hand spun, turning into a sword screen in front of him in an attempt to block the erosion of the black mist.
However, what truly caused Senior brother Chen"s death was not the black mist, Named Man suddenly moved, directly moving behind Senior brother Chen, then he directly struck his hand onto Senior brother Chen"s neck, slicing off his head, instantly, fresh blood flowed onto the ground, the scene was a bit cruel."AHH!"
The remaining short-haired yellow faced Cang Shan Sword Sect disciple saw her companion die so quickly, he became quick-witted and was about to run away.
"Whoosh!" "Pfft!"
Before the yellow-faced man with short hair had escaped far, Named Man kicked the sword that was tightly grasped in Senior Brother Chen"s corpse"s hands. The sword flew out after being kicked by him, and coincidentally struck the yellow-faced man"s back with the sword, causing the man to fall into a pool of blood after being hit by the sword.
