My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 422 Wangchuan
City of Thousand Lights.

All around and above was still a pitch-black void, but the vast and complex city had disappeared, leaving only a calm water surface.

A black heart floated in mid-air, beating slowly. Wisps of white smoke escaped from the heart, gradually gathering into a ball.

After a long while, a pale white hand suddenly emerged, scattering white smoke, and Jin E's figure slowly appeared.

But at this moment, he was shriveled and short, looking like a seventy or eighty-year-old man.

"Thirty years of cultivation, all gone in one day!"

"Lin Su!"

He was panting heavily, gritting his teeth as he stared at the water beneath his feet.

His opponent's sudden activation of the Yellow Springs Crossing forced him to fight desperately. He was certain that if he couldn't get Chen Mu into the Dragon-Trapping Well first, Lin Su would dare to drag him into the Yellow Springs Crossing as well!

As a result, his own cultivation was completely dissipated, and Qianmu was also drained of his vital energy by the unconscious and crazed monster, turning into dust.

Fortunately, he finally sent the person to their death and survived this ordeal.

"Lin Su! The person has been sent to the Dragon-Trapping Well, let me out now!"

Jin'e shouted repeatedly, his heart pounding with anxiety.

He feared that Lin Suxin was ruthless and would take the opportunity to silence him.

After a long while, water began to splash on the calm surface of the water beneath his feet.

Jin E felt a sense of relief, thinking to himself that Lin Su was still mindful of things. He was just thinking about how to settle accounts with her after they got out.

Suddenly, an indigo arm emerged from the splash and grabbed his ankle.

Jin E suddenly looked down and immediately saw Chen Mu's scarlet eyes, which had regained their clarity but appeared even more ferocious and insane.

next moment.

Whoosh!
Jin E, who was extremely weak, was dragged into the Yellow Springs without any resistance.

The city of Thousand Lanterns was completely empty.

……

The summit of an unnamed hill.

Bright yellow water gushed from the ground, slowly coalescing into a human shape, and Tantai Zong's figure reappeared.

"Young Master, the person has already entered the Yellow Springs Ferry."

"I placed my landing point at the Dragon-Trapping Well, and by now everyone should have entered it."

Lin Su smiled easily: "With the Yuan Tai Human Pillar gathered, the preparations for the Trapped Dragon Well here are finally complete."

Tantai Zong nodded in agreement, then sighed with some worry: "General Jin used his Blood Bag Clone technique, risking his entire cultivation to cut off his arm in an attempt to survive. Unfortunately, at the last moment, Chen Mu still dragged him into the Yellow Springs Ferry."

Lin Su couldn't help but marvel: "No wonder he is valued by the Spirit Lord."

"In a desperate counterattack, he managed to kill three generals, Liancheng, Qianmu Jin'e, and Jin'e in succession. That's remarkable."

“The Jin family…” Tantai Zong hesitated.

Lin Su waved her hand with a relaxed expression: "No need to worry. If the Jin family wants to cause me trouble, they'll have to get past the Spirit Venerable first."

He pulled out a palm-sized, emerald-green disc covered with tiny white dots, and waved it cheerfully at Tantai Zong, saying, "Lord Jin doesn't only have one son, Jin E. I have the merit of preparing for the Kunlong Well, so he wouldn't dare to cause me any trouble."

Tantai Zong looked at the emerald green disc and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But then he noticed a change and his heart skipped a beat: "Young Master, why is the center still completely blank?"

The emerald green disc is connected to the Dragon-Trapping Well. Each time a primordial human pillar enters, a white dot will appear. At this moment, the area around the disc is covered with countless tiny white dots, each the size of a sesame seed.

There are also seven white dots the size of mung beans surrounding the center.

However, the large white dot in the center, which was originally meant to represent the primordial spirit embryo, has yet to appear.

"It hasn't been delivered yet? That can't be, right?" Tantai Zong suddenly had a bad feeling.

Lin Su frowned and picked up the disc to examine it closely. But after waiting for a long time, the disc did not change at all.

"So, Chen Mu, do you think he can escape from the Yellow Springs Ferry?" Tantai Zong's expression changed drastically.

"The Yellow Springs Ferry moves through the void by borrowing the power of the River of Oblivion in the Underworld. To break free is equivalent to fighting against the entire Underworld."

"This...this is simply impossible."

Upon hearing this, Lin Su gave Tantai Zong a serious look: "The River of Oblivion!"

"What?" "I said he didn't break free at all, but followed the Yellow Springs Ferry and plunged into the River of Oblivion!"

"He doesn't want to live anymore!" Tantai Zong's expression changed drastically.

"This is troublesome!" Lin Su glanced at the emerald green disc, her face turning extremely ugly.

……

At this moment, Chen Mu lay quietly in the water, the water around him transparent as if it were empty space.

Above them was a faint, dim light, and below them were humanoid plumes of black smoke, drifting silently with the current.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes, the mad desire gone from his scarlet eyes.

However, his consciousness remained hazy, as if he were in a state between dreaming and waking.

I felt warm and cozy inside and out, and I didn't even want to have any thoughts or ideas.

Every so often, a wisp of black smoke would fly out from Chen Mu's body, slowly drifting down and merging into the humanoid black smoke formation below before disappearing.

Chen Mu's massive, five-meter-tall figure shrank slightly as the black smoke dissipated.

As time passed, in the instant it completely returned to normal, the gentle river water around it suddenly revealed an extraordinary and terrifying side.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu's clothes and hair were completely corroded, turning black and withered, turning into dust and smoke, drifting and disappearing in the middle of the river.

Patches of fair skin peeled off, and the blood-red muscles seemed to have fallen into concentrated acid, rapidly decomposing and dissipating.

In just a short while, the fingernails and toenails fell off one after another, revealing the white finger bones, the skin and flesh of which had been completely corroded away.

But Chen Mu remained calmly lying in the water, his half-open eyes showing no emotion.

Just as the slowly beating heart became visible between the ribs, a large, black, hollow sphere the size of a lychee appeared on the smooth, pale forehead.

A surge of black smoke erupted from within, quickly enveloping Chen Mu's entire body. As if teleported, Chen Mu's battered and skeletal body suddenly vanished, replaced by a humanoid cloud of black smoke.

The once turbulent, clear river water instantly transformed into warm, hot spring water. Gently cradling the humanoid black smoke that Chen Mu had transformed into, it slowly sank to the bottom of the river, merging into the shadowy figures.

……

Ganhe Lower Courtyard.

"It suddenly ran away, as if someone was chasing it?" Mo Wuzhou looked at the giant toad with a serious expression.

He couldn't help but think of those strange people who could transform into mud-like shadows, and the ghostly demons that could shroud the entire mountain. Chen Mu was actually credited with discovering both of them in the first place.

Now it seems……

"Is this a pursuit and revenge?" Mo Wuzhou's face was grim.

"For those people to go so far as to activate the Yellow Springs Ferry, your junior brother is probably in grave danger," Tu said with a grin.

"He can skillfully use the Rainbow Light of the Earth, and his cultivation level is almost on par with yours. I remember you once said that he started cultivating much later than you, right?"

"What a genius..." Tu said with a hint of regret.

"I should have lived in his brain."

Mo Wuzhou gave a cold laugh: "You should be glad you didn't mess with him."

"My junior brother is most skilled in insidious and secret techniques."

"He was the one who exposed that ghostly demon last time."

"Do you think he can't do anything to you?"

Tu paused for a moment and fell silent.

Standing in front of the wooden house porch, looking at the large toad standing blankly in the yard, Mo Wuzhou sighed.

"Is there really no chance of survival?"

Tu sighed: "Those people are very likely members of the Underworld Clan."

"Greedy and bloodthirsty, terrifying and bizarre. And like locusts, they are endless. No matter how powerful they are, they will be overwhelmed and devoured by wave after wave of attacks."

"I think you should worry about yourself instead of him."

"The appearance of the Yinming Clan here means they are likely to launch an attack on this place."

"If you're not strong enough, you won't even have time to run!"
