Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 366: Condensed into Momentum
Under the hot sunshine, the promenade standing above the lake emits a golden halo, looking quite lazy.

Chen Mu had not taken a few steps along the corridor when he heard a "splash" and a dark green figure jumped out from the lake.

But it was Gui San who noticed the commotion and caught up.

"Cough cough..."

It pretended to be reserved and coughed lightly, glancing at Chen Mu with its big, cunning eyes.

After noticing the joy in Chen Mu's eyes, he turned around and reminded him, "It was really not easy to escape five years ago at the risk of your life... right?"

Chen Mu laughed out loud when he heard this and said, "Wait a little longer, and I'll compensate you when I come back."

He immediately saw through Gui San's thoughts, and he was not going to deny his debt. After all, he had relied on his life-saving escape.

Gui San then laughed heartily and jumped into the lake again with great satisfaction.

The sun was blazing, and if it hadn't noticed Chen Mu had emerged from confinement, it wouldn't have wanted to come up...

Chen Mu shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and flew towards Hexu Island.

After a while, the escaping light slowly descended, bypassed the formation restrictions with ease, and entered the master's cave.

When I entered the inner room, the first thing I saw was Zhuang Yan sitting at the head of the table. He was drinking tea and instructing Gao Xiaoqing on the key points of his martial arts.

"Disciple greets Master."

Chen Mu bowed and looked at Gao Xiaoqing and nodded: "Junior sister."

During the more than five years of his seclusion, Gao Xiaoqing often visited him and went to Yunze Island to play with Gui San, Xiao Qi and others.

He was aware of all these, but he was busy practicing at the time, so he did not come out to meet him.

"Brother!"

Compared to Chen Mu's nod and smile, Gao Xiaoqing's reaction was much more obvious.

Her eyes and brows were curved, and she was very happy. She even forgot most of the solemn instructions beside her for a moment.

The reason why she often went to Yunze Island was, firstly, that she didn't have many friends in the mountain gate, and secondly, she hoped to see Chen Mu to relieve her dependence on him.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. This was the first time I met Chen Mu in five years.

There is no need to express my feelings openly...

"It's the late stage of foundation building, not bad."

Zhuang Yan seemed not to notice and nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Mu smiled when he heard that. He did not ask him in a hurry why he summoned him. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask for advice on some puzzles in his realm.

When he first entered the late stage of foundation building, his spiritual awareness and magical power had improved, but after trying it, he only felt that the "quantity" had increased, and the power was not much different from the middle stage.

He was puzzled and was busy practicing thunder magic at the time, so he had no time to look up any information in the classics and put it aside for the time being.

This is the perfect time to clear up the confusion...

With a solemn expression unchanged, he asked softly, "Do you know what the biggest difference is between a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage and one in the middle stage?"

Chen Mu shook his head truthfully: "Master, please give me some advice."

"The biggest difference lies in the concentration of 'momentum'!"

"Position?"

"That's right, in the late stage, it's close to the Core Formation stage. The soul and mana have both reached the final stage, and there's no further progress... At this point, one must use the soul as a guide to condense the mana into momentum. At the very least, it can intimidate the enemy, and at the worst, it can influence their minds... This can be called momentum!"

He spoke solemnly and eloquently, his eyes as deep as a pool.

Chen Mu nodded slowly, having roughly understood something.

What he said was confusing. In fact, according to his understanding, momentum should be the spiritual pressure of a late-stage cultivator. The impact could oppress the enemy and even make them uneasy and unable to deal with it safely.

"No wonder I always had this inexplicable feeling when facing Sect Leader Qin and the other late-stage cultivators before, which prevented me from even thinking about confronting them..." Zhuang Yan seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and smiled slightly, saying, "Spiritual pressure is only the most superficial effect. Momentum is ever-changing, and the energy condensed by each person is different..."

"Just feel it for a moment."

As soon as the words came out, the cave suddenly became dim, and a cold wind blew out of nowhere, as sharp as a knife.

At the same time, a terrifying murderous intent rushed straight into the depths of Chen Mu's sea of ​​consciousness. Almost in an instant, Chen Mu couldn't control the cold sweat that flowed down his face. His soul shrank in fear and could not be driven by him!

"This……"

In a daze, Zhuang Yan's brows relaxed and the sudden change disappeared.

It took several breaths for Chen Mu to come back to his senses. Disbelief appeared in his eyes. When he saw Gao Xiaoqing who was completely unaware, he was even more surprised.

"Such control ability... I never thought that Master, while treating others with such gentle warmth, could possess such a strong murderous intent..."

Zhuang Yan said, "Can you feel it? This is momentum. Without even using a single technique, I've already made you lose the power to resist... This is the direction you need to delve into."

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he quickly said: "What should I do?"

Zhuang Yan shook his head this time and said, "The condensation of momentum is different for each person. You still need to find its source yourself..."

Before he finished speaking, he waved out a jade slip and said, "This is my master's experience in concentration. Please use it as a reference."

The movements were so smooth that it was obvious that they had already been prepared for Chen Mu.

Chen Mu immediately bowed in thanks and took it.

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, then changed the tone and talked about the serious matter.

"Do you know about the Xuantian Alliance?"

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I heard from Senior Brother Xu that..."

What's more, Xu Jingyang had invited him before, but he declined.

Speaking of which, it has been more than five years since Xu Jingyang left, and he has not returned yet.

"What kind of secret place can last for such a long time?"

He muttered a few words in his heart and continued to look at Zhuang Yan.

"This Xuanguan Alliance is different from previous ones... Three years ago, an ancient inheritance emerged from the Xuantian Secret Land. This news quickly spread throughout the entire Northern Plains Continent, even reaching the neighboring East Sea and West Desert."

"Coupled with Xuantian Mansion's intentional spread of the word, all sorts of forces rushed to the Xuantian Secret Land like a wave, ready to fight for that ancient inheritance."

"But they didn't expect that the ancient inheritance actually contained an extremely difficult trial. That's why they wasted three years, and no one has been able to pass the trial yet."

Chen Mu's eyes flickered as he tried his best to digest this information.

"Inheritance Trial... No wonder Senior Brother Xu hasn't returned for so long."

Zhuang Yan continued, "With the trials ahead, talented people from all sides have gathered in Xuantian. Up to this point, the one who has made the fastest progress is the Daozi of Xuantian Mansion. His name has spread far and wide, and his reputation has spread across the three major states, making him unrivaled at the time."

"Master's intention is that all of us in my sect should also do our best to fight for it. Dozens of people have gone there before you."

"You should have gone with me, but I was on the verge of a breakthrough, so I held you back. Now that you've successfully emerged from seclusion, you should answer the call and go!"

Chen Mu's mind raced as he nodded.

"So that's what happened..."

"If that's the case, then my fire and gold thunder techniques will be delayed for a while."

He pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

When you are still for a long time, you will want to move. If you delay, then delay.

Maybe after real practice, the speed of comprehension will actually increase.
