My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 599 Arrival

Chapter 599 Arrival
Deep in the Tongtian River.

Two enormous beasts are fighting each other.

On one side was a purple snake, tens of meters long, with countless sharp horns on its head. On the other side was a large fish of the same length, covered in jet-black scales and filled with sharp teeth.

The two ferocious beasts continued to tear and collide, stirring up turbulent undercurrents in the water.

After a long while, the purple snake couldn't hold on any longer. It slapped the black fish away with its tail and, taking advantage of the moment when the black fish was adjusting its direction, it darted into the depths of the water.

The blackfish did not continue the chase. After realizing what had happened, it swam around twice in place before quickly leaving.

Somewhere underwater.

The badly injured purple snake was coiled up and floating in the water.

It concealed its aura, like a lifeless stone, quietly recovering.

But it wasn't long before it was awakened by an underwater current.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a giant tortoise shell, two or three times his size, that had appeared not far away.

Just as the strange snake tried to escape, it was entangled in a net of lightning. Its already severely injured body lost its vitality after a few struggles and became completely stiff and motionless.

More than a dozen Qi cultivators with water-repelling bubbles flew out of the tortoise shell and skillfully used secret techniques to bind the monster snake's corpse.

"strangeness."

"How to say?"

“Recently, I’ve been encountering lone beasts, and they’re either injured or weak. It’s very strange,” a Qi cultivator said, puzzled.

"It's more accurate to say he possesses extraordinary supernatural abilities," the other person shook his head.

"There are experts on the Water-Avoiding Shuttle; they might be able to detect such strange beasts from afar."

"I see, that is indeed an extraordinary supernatural power."

While chatting, they worked together to pull the strange snake into the water-avoiding shuttle.

Not far away, a red shadow, accompanied by a bright red line, cut through the layers of flowing water, swiftly overtook the water-avoiding shuttle, and disappeared into the deep water without a trace.

……

"The power of listening is infinitely wondrous."

"There aren't enough Zhu Yu magic swords."

Chen Mu lay on the rocking chair by the door, touching the red gourd on the square table beside him and shaking his head regretfully.

When one's listening skills are perfected, special supernatural powers arise. As long as one's magical power is present in a certain place, one can hear the movements within a ten-mile radius of that location.

Under the control of the Pulling Technique, even if it flies hundreds of miles away, the Zhu Yu Magic Sword, which contains magical power, can still be controlled freely.

When the two powers are combined, the power of listening to the divine will immediately exert its wondrous effects.

Chen Mu only needs to sit still inside the water-avoiding shuttle, and he can easily detect the movements hundreds of miles away through the Zhu Yu magic sword.

Those lone, injured, or weak beasts were found through this search.

"If only there were more magic swords, I could scatter them in all directions, tsk tsk..."

With a thought, a gray wall appeared, and Chen Mu looked at one of the entries.

Traction method: 2055/10000/Sixth order;

The secret technique was enhanced by the imprint of the Qi-Tracing Machine, and it entered the sixth level not long after leaving Goose and Sheep Mountain.

The number of talismans increased to nine, and the number of controllable Crimson Feather Magic Swords became nine.

Unfortunately, due to the previous procurement of materials, he now only has three magic swords in his possession.

"We cannot waste the power of listening to the divine."

"We need to get some gold essence from Lei Hong."

"That fat guy is in charge of the water-avoiding shuttle's internal treasury. It should be easy for him to move some out and resell it, huh..."

Chen Mu decided to go find Lei Hong later.

Then he continued to stare intently at the secret inscription on the gray wall.

"Whose grave did the seven Wu brothers dig up back then?"

The methods of listening and pulling the mechanism both originated from the seven brothers of Wushan.

According to Lu Ku's confession, these secret techniques, along with the Heart-Connecting Rope, were all unearthed from the same tomb.

Over the past decade, Chen Mu's strength has steadily increased, and these secret techniques he acquired early on have not fallen behind. Moreover, with his growing experience, they have become increasingly profound.

"The method of listening attentively has acquired the supernatural power of listening attentively."

"The technique of controlling flying swords from hundreds of miles away allows for effortless control."

"The Giant Spirit God can still provide several times the power amplification."

"Do the other secret techniques also have their own unique uses?"

Chen Mu selected all the secret techniques possessed by the seven Wu brothers and studied them with great interest.

Listening Technique: The Ultimate;

Giant Spirit God: 4906/10000/Seventh Tier;

Traction method: 2055/10000/Sixth order;

Soul-Seizing and Rejuvenating Technique: 8475/10000/Tier 4;

Celestial Demon Armor: 6345/10000/Tier 3;

Ten Directions Hand: 3/10000/Tier 1;
Three Yin Demon-Slaying Technique: Ultimate;

Now, the purification of his divine senses proceeds automatically, and the path of practicing the River Chariot is clear once the first stage is reached, giving him plenty of free time.

Chen Mu wanted to choose a new secret technique and alternate between practicing it and the Five Thunder Treasure Scroll.

"Perhaps we could add a secret technique called Heavenly Demon Armor."

"Judging from the name, it's a defensive secret technique. If you master it to a high level, it might even grant you extraordinary skills."

"It's a pity that the seven Wu brothers have already been captured. Otherwise, with those experience packs to help, I wouldn't need to fix it myself; I could just copy and paste."

Chen Mu shook his head regretfully.

"Shang Huan and Lu Ku... are probably buried underground by now."

The people who captured them were the martial artists who had transformed into Netherworld Gods. They captured Qi cultivators to bury them underground for the City God's temple to perform pulse point analysis. "I still need to continue cultivating," Chen Mu said, narrowing his eyes.

"I don't want to end up in that situation someday."

……

There is no sun or moon underwater. If it weren't for the fluorescent algae that light up and turn off according to the time of day, no one would be able to perceive the passage of time.

After a month of smooth sailing, Chen Mu once again appeared in the secret room disguised as Gongsun Sheng.

"Coming?"

"At most three days," Lei Cheng said after carefully examining the Milky Way compass floating in mid-air in the secret room.

"Can we find the Goose-Sheep Path fleet?"

"Highly likely."

“Hmm… even if that doesn’t work, we can try to cross the Dragonfire Path on our own,” Lei Cheng added after thinking for a moment.

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

Yunzhou is a turbulent place, and he will definitely have to leave.

"If you successfully rejoin the fleet, do you know what to say?" Chen Mu looked at the Lei brothers, Lei Cheng and Lei Hong.

"We will definitely not expose Mr. Gongsun." Lei Hong immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, his face full of confidence.

That sounds good, but I don't believe it. This short, fat guy is too slick.

Chen Mu looked at Lei Cheng.

"The Kui Niu drum needs to be redone and disguised."

"The secret method you set up to conceal your vital energy must also be removed."

Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

Look, meticulously checking for omissions and making up for them, that's what a serious person does.

"You can try telling Qiu Jinwu my information," Chen Mu encouraged with a smile.

"We wouldn't dare!" The two brothers tensed up and shook their heads in unison.

"Willingly?"

“I’m willing!” Lei Hong nodded repeatedly.

Lei Cheng didn't speak, but bowed and clasped his hands in a solemn manner.

Chen Mu remained noncommittal, giving the two of them a half-smile.

Then, he quietly activated the Five Dragons Dharma Form, whose aura and power, resembling that of gods, demons, and monsters, appeared and disappeared.

The two brothers suddenly tensed up, shivered for no reason, and an uncontrollable fear appeared in their eyes.

Chen Mu's lips curled slightly, and he turned around, transforming into a gentle breeze and disappearing silently from their sight.

……

"This is the only way for now..."

Chen Mu appeared in the small courtyard at the end of the water-avoiding shuttle.

He didn't want to scare the Lei brothers, but he had to do it for his own safety.

"The Cloud Mirage Demon is useless," Chen Mu couldn't help but complain.

Even after all these years, the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed split from the Cloud Mirage Heavenly Demon's body remains as fragile as ever, unable to parasitize Qi Refiners at all.

"It would be great if the two brothers had some kind of ghostly spirit parasitizing them."

“It would be good to also learn some Netherworld God Transformation.”

This way, he could implant the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed into the two of them, preventing them from rebelling.

"Let's take it one step at a time and keep an eye on things more using the listening method."

"It's okay even if we're exposed."

"With my current cultivation level, even if I faced Dao Lord Qiu Jinwu, escaping wouldn't be difficult... Hmm, perhaps?"

"Tsk...This is difficult..."

Chen Mu shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and raised his hand to release the Five Ghosts Black Smoke.

Black smoke billowed over the courtyard wall and flew into the nearby beast decomposition field.

There was a small hill there, made up of fresh beast meat, which was half of the prey caught by the hunting party.

As the black smoke swept by, the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains technique was activated, and the mountain-sized amount of strange beast meat was transferred into the Five Ghosts Bag.

Originally, the Yin Soul Monster did not need to be fed, but ever since he used the Mountain-Carrying Scripture to control it and assist in driving the Water-Avoiding Shuttle, the Yin Soul Monster has developed a need for food.

Fortunately, finding food is not difficult; all that is needed is the meat of a strange beast with abundant qi, blood, and essence.

"So, the ghosts actually need food," Chen Mu said thoughtfully.

"What did it eat in the Five Ghosts Bag before?"

"Just go hungry?"

"Can't you?"

"Amazing..."

……

three days later.

Under Lei Cheng's control, the water-avoiding shuttle began to descend.

Before long, a large area of fluorescence lit up, and a huge stone mountain that looked like an inverted bowl appeared at the bottom of the water.

Shishan covers a vast area, comparable to a bustling metropolis.

Its surface is covered with strange vegetation, and the fluorescent algae surrounding it flashes, illuminating the bottom of the water.
