Chapter 413: Trial test
Chapter 413 A little test
“The two spiritual ancestors are indeed a bit troublesome, but don’t worry too much.”
Chen Mu did not delve into this topic too much, but changed his tone and asked Fang Yuan: "Elder Fang, did you encounter any large settlements along the way?"
Fang Yuan and his party also explored a large area, and Fang Yuan escaped all the way, so they should know part of the area about the situation in the tree canopy. It would be good if someone could guide him.
also.
Since the two spirit ancestors are chasing Fang Yuan and others, Chen Mu hopes that one of them will come to him, preferably the newly promoted spirit ancestor, so that he can take advantage of the situation and kill them to avoid more trouble later. many.
After hearing Chen Mu's words, Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment and then responded: "There is indeed a large settlement, but it is located on the branch of Xunmu. The power of Xunmu that the formation can mobilize is very powerful, and even the masters of the blood exchange realm may not If we can break through it, if we find another team to join forces, we should be able to do it with certainty."
With Chen Mu's strength, it would be much safer for him to find another team to join forces. After all, Chen Mu's strength is comparable to the blood exchange realm. The two teams may not be able to stop the two spiritual ancestors if they join forces, but if one of them waits for the blood exchange, The existence of someone sitting in command and commanding a team of people is completely different, enough to move around and resist support.
"Too much trouble."
Chen Mu shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know where that settlement is."
He didn't know how the large settlement that Fang Yuan knew about was compared to the one he encountered before, but at least now he was no less powerful than Jiang Han Yanhong and other two teams working together, and he was more calm alone. , if the wood-seeking power mobilized by the formation is not strong enough, he can even forcefully break in and destroy the formation in an instant.
When Fang Yuan saw that Chen Muqiang wanted to give it a try, he was a little helpless, but he was not surprised. Today, Chen Mu is the best in the world of Qiankun martial arts. He can defeat the power of blood exchange with his marrow-cleansing body. If he doesn't have a bit of overpowering spirit, , on the contrary, it is strange.
He wasn't worried about anything else. With Chen Mu's ability, even if he couldn't take over the large settlement, he could still advance and retreat freely. The key was that there were two spiritual ancestors hiding in the dark, which was extremely threatening. Even if Chen Mu had reached that Levels can come and go with confidence, but he cannot. If he is involved in it, it will be difficult for him to survive.
But he and Chen Mu did not have a close relationship after all. If he was traveling with Chen Mu and encountered any trouble, Chen Mu would probably come to his rescue, but it was obviously impossible for Chen Mu to obey his wishes.
“Since Elder Chen wants to try the water in that large settlement, I will lead the way.”
Fang Yuan also made a decision quickly.
After all, he is also a majestic master who travels all over the world, so he is not indecisive. In this case, it is his luck to meet Chen Mu. It is impossible to leave Chen Mu and escape alone. After all, it is safer to follow Chen Mu.
What's more, although the two spiritual ancestors are powerful, the newly promoted one is weaker after all. Compared to the ancestor of the sky demon, Yu Wenhao, he may not be able to do anything to defeat Chen Mu even if he suddenly attacks. Another spiritual ancestor who has survived for thousands of years is a bit of a threat, but if Chen Mu can resist or get entangled with him, he still has a chance to escape.
“Then I’ll trouble you, Elder Fang.”
Chen Mu slightly cupped his hands towards Fang Yuan.
It is true that he and Fang Yuan did not have much friendship, but if the other party wanted to go with him, he would not mind joining hands with him. Firstly, they were both in the Qixuan Sect, and secondly, the information Fang Yuan brought did have some value. It allows him to prepare in advance.
After the words fell, Chen Mu's figure flickered and disappeared silently in front of Fang Yuan.
“Elder Chen’s method of holding his breath and concealing himself is also unparalleled among his contemporaries. Except for those guys from Xueyin Tower, there are probably very few people in the world who can surpass Elder Chen in this aspect.”
Fang Yuan watched Chen Mu disappear in front of his eyes, and almost immediately sensed the surroundings. However, although he knew that Chen Mu was nearby, he could not capture Chen Mu's aura or figure at all, and he was quite shocked for a moment.
You must know that Chen Mu was only two or three feet away from him. He was still in his sight one moment, and he disappeared the next moment. Even the master killers of Xueyin Tower could not escape from such a close distance. Hidden out of thin air right under his nose.
Obviously.
Chen Mu is also far better than the Master of Essence Cleansing of his generation in terms of concealing Qi. Even the Master of Xueyin Tower who specializes in this method is inferior. I am afraid that in the world, there are only Masters of Xueyin Tower who are good at hiding. In the blood exchange realm, he can beat Chen Mu.
Although Chen Mu practices the Tao of the Universe and can practice all martial arts in the world. There will be no shortcomings in concealment, escape, attack and defense, but the problem is that these skills require time to practice. of.
It does not mean that one has mastered the artistic conception of Qiankun and will automatically be familiar with all the martial arts in the world.
Escape techniques, concealment techniques, attack and killing techniques, these are all different methods extended from the artistic conception. They all require time to figure out and master, especially if you want to be effective at the level of the Marrow Cleansing Master, you need to practice even more. It takes one to be superb and even reach the top, and Chen Mu has obviously achieved it.
This also made Fang Yuan feel incomprehensible again. Although he also understood that there was a huge gap between people, he could become a master and was a leader when he was young. But now he only feels that Chen Mu is different from what he was when he was young. The gap was almost bigger than the gap between him and the most ordinary outer disciples!
Chen Mu is only over thirty years old. Even though he is extremely talented and can cultivate the Qiankun Domain and the Qiankun Martial Body, it must have taken all his energy. How can he still have time to practice concealment, body skills and other methods? Reaching the pinnacle?
Can the gap really be so big?
Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, but these thoughts were quickly forgotten by him. Now he still has a chance to pass the blood exchange situation. It is said that good and evil depend on each other. If he can survive this disaster and survive, If he meets you by chance, he might be able to do it!
After reaching the realm of marrow cleansing and becoming a master, who wouldn’t be eager to cross that hurdle and take the step of exchanging blood.
It's just that this step is very difficult. It's not just a simple exchange of martial blood all over the body. The increased martial blood will further stimulate various parts of the body, making all the acupoints and acupoints all over the body open. The power of heaven and earth will penetrate into the limbs and bones, and every part of the body will be affected. Every detail!
In this process, the heart and soul will also be washed and refined by heaven and earth. It can be said to be a lot of tests. If there is a mistake, the blood exchange will fail, the martial body will be injured, the realm will regress, and even the life span will be lost. In the worst case, it will be more likely to be killed on the spot. die.
It is a matter of life and death!
As for whether the blood exchange can be successful, even if those masters who have reached the perfection of marrow cleansing cannot clearly judge, they can more or less understand how sure they are, and they often need at least 20 to 30% before they are willing to try to attack. .
And the vast majority of masters are not even sure of 20% to 30%. In this case, it is difficult to have the belief that success will be achieved and the determination to move forward. In this case, the probability of success in blood exchange will be lower, and they will not make attempts easily. .
Like Jiang Changsheng.
I have been accumulating before, fighting against top masters from all sides, sharpening my sword, sharpening my own swordsmanship, and trying to make further progress, building a more solid foundation of the martial body, until reaching the final step, if it were not for Chen Mu , he was able to defeat Jue Dao in the abyss of the earth and sharpen his swordsmanship with Jue Dao. Perhaps he has now passed the blood exchange stage!
Chen Mu was not aware of the complicated thoughts in Fang Yuan's heart. At this time, he just gathered his energy and followed Fang Yuan quietly.
He was hiding like this just to see if Fang Yuan could fish out the two spiritual ancestors, Linghuan and Lingji. However, he didn't know if it was because of Fang Yuan's luck, or if Linghuan and Lingji had already stopped, and Chen Mu followed Fang Yuan. They walked up and down the complex tree canopy for hundreds of miles until they approached the large settlement, but the other party never appeared.
“That’s it.”
Fang Yuan has been leading the way. Although he couldn't sense Chen Mu's aura and didn't know where Chen Mu was, he knew that Chen Mu was nearby. At this time, he stopped behind a large clump of Xunmu branches and leaves. Point your hand high forward.
Look ahead. It can be seen that the terrain of that section is a high **** that slopes upward. In other words, it is a wood-seeking branch about several miles wide. It grows slanting and winds all the way up. There are several forked branches there. The place where dry hands are handed over.
This area is very flat and very large, with a radius of nearly twenty miles. It is full of large and small buildings. It is a large settlement of the Lingren tribe. Compared with Chen Mu’s previous relationship with Jiang Han and Yan The place that Hong and others broke through was similar.
"good."
Chen Mu's figure appeared quietly beside Fang Yuan, looking slightly towards the spiritual settlement in front.
Fang Yuan whispered: "Elder Chen, your concealment skills are superb. Maybe you can try to sneak into that settlement. Destroy one formation node first, which will weaken the power of the formation..."
At first, Fang Yuan did not think that Chen Mu could defeat a large settlement by himself. After all, a team like theirs, with a whole team of people and twenty or thirty masters, might not be able to securely capture a large settlement, and they were scattered in Xunmu Cave. The teams of Grandmasters are not afraid of a single spiritual ancestor, and they are even qualified to surround and kill the ancestor of the Heavenly Demon, Yu Wenhao.
But after seeing Chen Mu's hidden methods, his mind changed.
Although the formations set up by these large settlements are integrated with the entire Xunmu and have unique means of sensing and rejecting the existence of non-spiritual humans, in the final analysis, the perception of formations is also a kind of perception, not an absolute identification.
Chen Mu's concealment methods are far better than those of ordinary masters, and are even inferior to those of the masters of the Xueyin Tower. In this case, it may not be possible to hide from the formation structure of a large settlement and sneak in quietly without touching it.
Although there are certain risks in infiltrating like this, once discovered inside, it is very likely that the formation will be trapped inside and unable to escape. However, similarly, if a key formation node can be directly destroyed on the inside, it will definitely make the entire If the formation is weakened, it won't matter even if it is exposed. If the formation is weakened, it may not be able to trap Chen Mu!
In this case, Chen Mu might really be able to capture a large settlement!
If you can monopolize the resources of a large settlement...
Fang Yuan couldn't contain the excitement in his heart just thinking about it. Although the person who could monopolize the resources was not him but Chen Mu, even if he was just watching from the sidelines, his heart would inevitably be filled with ups and downs.
Moreover, in that case, he can play a more or less role on the outside. At least he can divert some of the attention of the spirit tribe and give Chen Mu more room to display. In this way, he can play his role and gain face. To share a little profit, even if it is just a small amount, it will definitely be more than what everyone would get if he followed other teams.
but.
Just when he was making some plans in his mind.
They saw that Chen Mu had walked out from behind the huge spiritual leaves and walked towards the spiritual settlement in front of him.
“Elder Chen?”
Fang Yuan was slightly startled when he saw Chen Mu taking a few steps forward and approaching the spiritual settlement hundreds of feet away.
And the formation of the spirit settlement was connected to Xunmu. Almost at the next moment, something seemed to be touched by Chen Mu's approach. A surge of Xunmu's power roared up, and the settlement was surrounded by a 20-mile radius. Pieces of spiritual light rose up and spread towards the sky, and finally connected together at a high place, turning into a blue curtain, covering the entire settlement.
The wood-seeking formation is fully awakened!
Chen Mu heard Fang Yuan's words, and he also knew that Fang Yuan's proposal was somewhat feasible. He could indeed try to hide his energy, bypass the formation, sneak into the settlement in advance and destroy a node to weaken the Xunmu Formation.
But he had no intention of doing so.
Sneak in quietly. If you are noticed before it is destroyed, you will still have to use the power of the formation on the inside, and the situation will be a bit dangerous. Once Linghuan, the spiritual ancestor, suddenly appears, you may be trapped inside. Hard to escape.
And now he also wants to use the Xunmu Formation to test the power of his Qiankun Martial Body.
唰!
Almost at the next moment, Chen Mu's figure turned into an afterimage. In an instant, it passed by and was directly approaching the edge of the formation that protected the entire settlement. Then he raised his right hand and slammed down with a fist seal.
This punch was like a falling star, wrapped with the majestic power of the universe, condensed into a wheel seal of heaven and earth, and pressed on the surface of the magic light curtain. For an instant, the entire space seemed to be vibrating, and the void seemed to be forming ripples. The ripples spread out, and the formation light curtain covering the entire settlement flickered violently, as if it had suffered an extremely terrifying blow, and made an overwhelming buzzing sound!
Click! Click! !
Under Fang Yuan's somewhat disbelieving gaze, Chen Mu's punch caused the void to burst into a white crack that stretched for nearly a foot, crushing the light curtain on the surface of the formation and tearing it apart. A huge hole!
After crushing the formation light curtain, Chen Mu's fist force still did not stop, spreading directly to the inside of the formation light curtain, spreading to the top of the large settlement, and then following Chen Mu's thoughts, from a concentrated point The gathering turned to spread, and suddenly turned into a huge fist mark that stretched for tens of feet, and crashed down.
"What?"
"what happened!"
“The formation was...impossible!”
From the time when the Xunmu Formation was awakened to when Chen Mu made a bold move, it only happened in an instant. Many of the Spirit Human Races had not even reacted. Some people even walked out of the building and looked up into the sky.
It was at this glance that I saw with my own eyes Chen Mu's punch, shattering the formation's light curtain, and then the fist broke into the inside of the formation, turning into a giant fist seal that stretched for tens of feet, like the sky collapsing. In general, a majestic and overwhelming scene!
A total shock!
"not good."
“Run away!”
Some of the closest spirit people finally reacted when they saw the fist seal falling, but at this time the majestic pressure of the universe had already fallen, which was almost suffocating. Many spirit people felt that their breathing was stagnant, and it was even difficult to move. , could only watch the fist mark fall.
Boom! !
The dozens of feet of fist seals finally crashed down, and the buildings and some spirit humans were crushed to pieces in almost an instant. The aftermath of the fist seals' fall shook in all directions and spread hundreds of feet!
A large number of buildings shattered and collapsed piece by piece, and countless spiritual beings fled in shock. Some even did not react. They were at a loss and were overwhelmed by the spread of the aftermath. In an instant, they turned into pieces of flesh and blood.
At one blow.
The array light curtain was penetrated, and an area of tens of feet was crushed and shattered, leaving a huge and obvious fist mark on the foundation of Xunmu at the bottom. The fragments spread hundreds of feet in all directions, creating a scene of destruction and chaos. !
