My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 704 Trouble
Underground, fluorescent algae emitted a warm glow, illuminating the pitch-black cave.

On a stone platform protruding from the rock wall, Chen Mu used the "pointing to the ground to make steel" technique to make a high-backed stone chair, which was covered with a layer of soft animal hide.

At this moment, he was resting his chin on his left hand, eyes closed, huddled in the chair.

Driven by the Nine Cups Calculation Sutra, his entire consciousness seemed to be immersed in a sea of ​​fog.

At a certain moment, a cloud of mist suddenly gathered and quickly transformed into a figure, which was none other than Zhou Tong, the commander of the Heavenly Crafts Camp.

Immediately, Chen Mu's gaze rose rapidly, and the mist also changed and condensed, instantly presenting the surrounding environment of Zhou Tong's location in Chen Mu's mind.

He opened his eyes, a thought flickered, and a red thread flew out from his sleeve, disappearing into the soil with a "poof".

Half an hour later, following the guidance of the calculation scripture, the Zhu Yu magic sword flew to the vicinity of the previously calculated location. Activating its listening ability, it quickly located Zhou Tong, whose eyes were bloodshot.

"It's done!"

A smile appeared on Chen Mu's face as the gray wall came into view.

Nine Cups Arithmetic: 239/10000/Fourth Order;

"Even without the Zhu Yu magic sword for positioning, Zhou Tong's position can be calculated ten times out of ten using only the fourth-order arithmetic scripture."

"In that case, using the arithmetic scripture to calculate the location of the Heavenly Demon's body should definitely... well, it should be, probably no problem, right?" Chen Mu scratched his head, somewhat unsure of himself.

There are thirty-two layers of heaven between heaven and earth, and the distance is countless.

Even with the Heavenly Demon as his vessel, Chen Mu was still not entirely at ease with the calculated landing point.

"It's not very reliable to get ten out of ten right. It would be best to practice the arithmetic manual to a higher level and be able to guarantee that you get every one right." Chen Mu made up his mind.

Although Fire Path Star has been invaded by the Netherworld Demon Heaven, Fire Path City has also been occupied by the Three-Eyed Netherworld Demon Clan.

But the overall situation was surprisingly calm. He hid underground and was ignored by everyone, enjoying a relatively peaceful period in the short term.

"It's good that things are stable; I can prepare more thoroughly."

Feeling the fully restored magical power within the jade seed, Chen Mu grabbed the exquisite jade plate from the stone table beside him and once again entered Thousand Lantern City.

The underground was safe, but he was always cautious. He only appeared in the underground caves when he needed to recover the mana depleted from his Dao Foundation cultivation. Otherwise, he remained in Thousand Lantern City.

……

As time passed, Chen Mu stayed underground, spending his days cultivating his Dao foundation and carefully considering the details of activating the Gate of Hell.

More than four thousand ghostly monsters can definitely activate the Gates of Hell.

With each passing day, Jiubei's mathematical skills improved, and his calculations became increasingly accurate.

He began to worry about another crucial issue.

“There is a lot of demonic essence in the Bottomless Pool, but if we use it to cross thirty-two days to return to Yunzhou…” Chen Mu silently calculated, unable to help but frown.

He had indeed seized a lot of monster corpses and thrown them into the Bottomless Pool. However, in the past six months, he had already consumed a lot of his own cultivation foundation, and feeding the Yin Soul monsters had also consumed a large amount.

There are thirty-two heavenly and earthly barriers, making teleportation no less difficult than returning from the Netherworld to the Underworld. The amount of vital energy required to pass through the Gates of Hell is probably unbelievable.

"It would be best to gather another batch of demonic beast flesh and blood."

Chen Mu's heart stirred, and he thought of the monster corpses that the Heavenly Craftsmen had collected and hoarded.

Although most of them had been skinned, dismembered, and transported back to Tianguan Star in batches, much of the demon flesh and blood, filled with demonic poison, was left behind.

"If I could sneak into Fire City and take it secretly..." He narrowed his eyes, secretly calculating.

……

Several days later, two hundred miles south of Huodao City.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Chen Mu's figure appeared in a dense forest.

Looking up at the blood-red light in the sky, he actually felt quite comfortable being bathed in that light!
"This isn't right, is it?" Chen Mu asked with a strange expression.

He had been keeping an eye on Zhou Tong and the others these past few days; they had all been affected by the bloody light and undergone some kind of change.

The soldiers became irritable and easily angered, which led to several mutinies.

The Netherworld Demon's Blood Light is clearly capable of amplifying human desires and causing all sorts of conflicts, but when it comes to himself...

"Because I once went to the Underworld?"

Chen Mu frowned and shook his head.

He soon discovered the source of his unusual feelings.

Chen Mu reached out and pressed his hand to his left chest, and heard two heartbeats with different rhythms in his ears.

"Blood sac? Underworld God Transformation?"

"This thing is related to the Underworld Demon Heaven?!" Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.

Back in Luandu County, Yunzhou, in order to break free from the constraints of the Investiture of the Gods, he devised a method to cultivate the Underworld God Transformation.

It was for this reason that he was able to successfully implant the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed into himself, connecting it with the Heavenly Demon Body's energy, and thus escape from the Divine Statue Cave by substituting one thing for another.

"The cultivation of the Underworld God Transformation mainly involves absorbing the bloodline of demons and monsters into the body to transform it."

"The bloodline seed comes from the River of Oblivion. Tracing its origins, it is very likely from the Netherworld Demon Heaven."

"Once you enter the realm of the Underworld God Transformation, you are essentially half a native of the Underworld Demon Heaven, and thus you will naturally not be afraid of the bloodshed in the sky."

Chen Mu suddenly realized. "This is truly... an unexpected delight!" He raised an eyebrow and beamed with joy.

Chen Mu originally intended to sneak into Fire City by leaving the underground.

Now that the blood sac's aura is concealed, we can openly enter the city, which is actually safer than sneaking in using secret methods!

The shapeshifting technique, which had not been used for a long time, began to operate.

The facial muscles shifted, and the skin between the eyebrows bulged and formed a crack, resembling a closed vertical eye.

The skin loses color and quickly turns pale.

His skeletal structure changed, and his body size was adjusted to two and a half meters.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mu transformed into a member of the Three-Eyed Netherworld Demon Clan.

The secret technique of the Underworld God Transformation, Qingnang Chapter, is used.

dong dong dong...

A series of eerie heartbeats grew louder and louder, gradually replacing the original heartbeats, and an evil aura began to emanate from around Chen Mu.

In Chen Mu's own perception, the blood-red light in the sky also became increasingly warm.

“Similar appearance, aura, plus the language of the Three-Eyed Netherworld Clan that I’ve mastered with the help of the Gray Wall over the past month, who dares to say I’m not from the Netherworld Demon Heaven!” Chen Mu smiled confidently and strode towards Fire Dao City.

……

"Who are you?" Outside the city, a three-eyed Netherworld Clan member clad in white bone armor blocked Chen Mu's path, staring at him expressionlessly.

"I am Yitu III." Chen Mu opened his mouth and uttered a series of strange words, his face calm.

In the past few days, although he dared not explore the inner city of Fireway City, he had done a lot of searching of the outer perimeter.

Not only did they master the language of the Three-Eyed Underworld Clan, but they also obtained a great deal of intelligence.

This "Strange Image Three" is not a pseudonym, but a real, three-eyed member of the Underworld Clan. This individual frequently ventures out of the city to investigate and record the area surrounding Fire Path City.

Chen Mu sculpted the face based on the other person's.

Meanwhile, the real Yitu Three is currently investigating water veins in a canyon three hundred miles to the west. Based on past patterns, it will take at least two hours for him to return.

"You are Yi Tu San, then who is he?" The three-eyed Netherworld Clan guarding the gate stared strangely at what was behind Chen Mu.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around reflexively.

Then I saw a face that looked exactly like mine.

Chen Mu: “…”

No, shouldn't you be investigating the water veins three hundred miles away? How come you suddenly appeared here?!
"You must be a Qi cultivator from Baiyitian. Your disguise is so convincing, truly... impressive!" A malicious smile appeared on the face of the Three-Eyed Netherworld Clan member behind him.

Chen Mu was completely dumbfounded.

Just before leaving the woods, he used his supernatural ability to listen carefully to take a look at the other party.

How come the other side appeared at the city gate in such a short time?

He even wanted to use the other person's face to infiltrate Fireway City.

Done!

……

"That's because I secretly notified the other party to return!"

Tianguan City, Xingjun Palace.

Meng Qingchan, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon deep in the main hall, suddenly chuckled.

"As expected of the Star Lord of Horned Wood, as expected of the Spirit of the Stars, the feeling of controlling the stars from afar is truly mesmerizing." Meng Qingchan murmured with a smile on her face.

"Senior Sister seems to be in a good mood." Lan Xiuzhu slowly walked into the main hall.

"Spit it out if you have something to say." Meng Qingchan's expression turned calm and composed.

“Senior Sister has already mastered the thirty-six stars of Jiaomu, enough to shake the heavens. It’s time to lure the demons and monsters out of the realm,” Lan Xiuzhu said with a smile.

Meng Qingchan raised an eyebrow and looked at her junior brother.

The other person always had a smile on their face, but their eyes were as cold and indifferent as ice and snow.

Meng Qingchan nodded slightly and did not refuse. Leading demons to break through the thirty-second level of heaven was part of the deal between the two.

"Let's start with Fire Star."

"I'm not very familiar with the power of the Star Lord of Horns yet, so I'll use that small star on the edge as a test subject."

"Really?" Lan Xiuzhu revealed a meaningful smile.

"Of course!" Meng Qingchan said with certainty.

Everything I did was to ensure the plan went smoothly.

It was absolutely not to take the opportunity to cause trouble for Chen Mu!
