I am grinding experience in another world - Chapter 762 - 750: Fetal Breathing
Golden River City was calm, and Chen Mu spent the whole day at the bottom of the well pondering the Chain Spell Ban.
As the Spirit Treasure Core Mechanism Technique delved deeper, the silver patterns within the chain were gradually unveiled to him.
That day, a string of insights suddenly rushed into his mind.
Chen Mu snapped back to reality and summoned the gray Stone Gate.
Lock Spirit Spell: 3/10000;
“A dharma curse that can seal spiritual deities?”
“Finally, there are some clues.” He couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
In recent days of continuous exploration, he discovered that the chain was densely covered with ghost patterns. Though it appeared to be just an ordinary chain on the outside, the restriction structure inside was even more complex than the Mountain Protection Magical Barrier of the Tangshan Institute. Often, he pondered for an entire day but reaped little reward.
Now, with the Lock Spirit Spell gaining recognition, all he had to do was continue his exploration, and he could swiftly grasp this dharma curse. At that point, he might just be able to break the invisible confinement.
“Luckily, I am diligent enough; otherwise, how could I have mastered this cursing method so quickly.” Chen Mu thought aloud with satisfaction.
Stone Gate?
Heh!
If it’s so powerful, why hasn’t it let me master the Perfection Level Lock Spirit Spell?
So, this tiny Stone Gate just provided a bit of assistance; it’s mostly through my own hard work!
Chen Mu snorted shamelessly, full of pride.
…
Half a month later.
South of Golden River City, by Xian’an Pond.
Thick black smoke, like giant serpents, swam under the water, chasing after schools of silver-scaled fish and devouring them completely.
The flesh and vital energy of the silver-scaled fish were absorbed by the Five Ghosts Bag, and the Netherworld Worms within them perished as a result. Then, countless head-sized black smoke clumps of Ghosts popped out of the Five Ghosts Bag one after another.
Unknowingly, Chen Mu and the others had already been trapped in Golden River City for more than three months. The first batch of silver-scaled fish had matured, and the parasitic Netherworld Worms within had also grown to a certain extent. Through the cycle of life and death, most had successfully transformed into Ghosts.
“Seven thousand nine hundred twenty-three…tsk…” Chen Mu clicked his tongue, reluctantly accepting it.
Compared to luring and capturing Ghosts, this number was quite small.
“Capital Institute, this is only the first batch, the fish fry are insufficient, and there is also a shortage of golden silk algae for fish feed.”
“The next batch will be better, with at least three times the total number of this batch of silver-scaled fish!” Tang Sect promised confidently.
“Three times? Really?” Chen Mu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
“Of course!” Tang Sect solemnly assured him.
Three times…that would be over twenty-four thousand silver-scaled fish.
Even if the transformation of some Netherworld Worms fails, at the very least, it will increase the Ghosts by twenty thousand. By then, the total number of Ghosts will exceed one hundred and twenty thousand, and the power of the Ghost Gate will certainly grow substantially!
Chen Mu quickly calculated and then nodded in satisfaction.
“Capital Institute, once the next batch of silver-scaled fish matures, can we leave this place?” Tang Sect feigned a hopeful look at Chen Mu, testing him.
“It’s still early.” Chen Mu shook his head helplessly.
The power of the Ghost Gate has indeed increased greatly.
But…
“You’ve also experienced that invisible confinement force; it’s tenacious and hard to handle.”
Previously, he had been too optimistic.
For days, he had been pondering the Dragon Binding Chain, but after a whole day, he only accumulated over sixty experience points. By the time the next batch of silver-scaled fish matured, it would at most push the experience of the Lock Spirit Spell to over halfway.
Hoping to break the invisible confinement this way…difficult!
Hard to handle?
Hard to handle is right!
Seeing the grim expression on Chen Mu’s face, Tang Sect appeared disappointed yet secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If you really figured out how to escape, then who would be in trouble but me!
“Capital Institute, my second uncle is quite knowledgeable about restrictions; maybe he can give you a hand?” Tang Sect suggested with a glint in his eyes.
“Forget it, that thing is quite different from ordinary restrictions.” Chen Mu waved his hand in refusal.
The confinement formed by the Netherworld Ghost Patterns is of little use to the average Qi Cultivator.
What a pity.
Tang Sect was disappointed.
Offering help was, of course, an excuse; he just wanted to keep track of the Lock Dragon Well’s progress all the time.
“Let us raise the fish well; the more silver-scaled fish we cultivate, the sooner we can leave this place.” Chen Mu consoled.
Raising fish?
Haha!
“Capital Institute, rest assured, I will certainly raise them well.” Tang Sect immediately pledged with unwavering confidence.
Chen Mu cast a suspicious glance at Tang Sect.
There was a constant feeling that this guy’s emotions were a bit odd.
But considering the newly captured Ghosts that needed handling and the long-awaited Lock Spirit Spell, he couldn’t afford to overthink.
Once he ensured there were no fish that slipped through the net, he immediately returned to the Golden Pool Pavilion.
…
At the entrance of the second floor of the Golden Pool Pavilion.
Chen Mu lay back in a rocking chair, the Five Ghosts Bag hanging on his chest, a human-head-sized black smoke clump floating in mid-air.
He planted the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, passing the Mountain-Carrying Scripture and Jade Gate Curse to each one, unfolding a familiar process rapidly.
In no time, the newly born Ghost was brought under control.
Chen Mu examined the Ghost before him, rather dissatisfied.
A mature Ghost was at least half a person tall, while these newly recruited Ghosts were only the size of human heads. After all, the Netherworld Worms had just matured, so the Ghosts they converted were relatively weak.
“Luckily, as long as there’s sufficient Netherworld Jade Dew, the Ghosts grow quite rapidly, taking at most a month or two.”
Chen Mu directed his consciousness into the Five Ghosts Bag to inspect the Yama True Ghost Pattern within.
More than a month had passed since the last time the ghost pattern was embedded, and its power had deteriorated significantly, yet it still functioned.
“If it was the previous split version, it would have long since collapsed and failed by now.” Chen was satisfied and nodded.
Immediately, he skillfully performed the Ghost Channeling Technique, preparing to embed a new Yama True Ghost Pattern.
After all, with more than seven thousand newly captured Ghosts requiring Jade Dew nourishment, any improvement in the Jade Dew conversion efficiency would be beneficial.
But before he could inject the cold power from his palm into the Five Ghosts Bag, his brow began to throb.
Buzz!
The Yin Spirit Divine Embryo Round Pearl that had been resting quietly in the Secret Acupoint of his brow suddenly resounded, and the power of the Yama True Ghost Pattern in his palm was instantly absorbed into his brow.
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
Thump thump thump…
A sequence of gigantic heartbeats echoed in his mind, with the Divine Embryo Round Pearl expanding and contracting rhythmically like it was breathing.
His entire Yin Spirit Divine Power was rapidly absorbed by the Divine Embryo, and then…a gray mist began to form out of thin air around the Divine Embryo.
“What…what is happening?”
Chen Mu immediately immersed his spirit into the Secret Acupoint of his brow, instantly discovering the circle of gray mist around the Divine Embryo.
And the Divine Embryo itself, like the moon, hung silently within the sea of gray mist.
The heartbeat-like pulsations had vanished, but the Divine Embryo was entirely different.
Though motionless, it seemed to breathe, full of life force!
“Is this…the Nine Orifices of Yin Spirit Fetal Breathing Realm?!”
“How did the Yin Spirit Divine Embryo suddenly advance?” Chen Mu was full of astonishment.
In Yin spirit cultivation, the first step is the Enlightened Heart Seeing the Divine, using Yin Fire to temper and stimulate ghost pattern awakening.
The second step is to return to the roots and source, using Ruishui River to refine and supplement the ghost pattern to form the Divine Embryo.
The third step is the Fetal Breathing Nine Apertures, using the secret technique to refine the Divine Embryo and open the Innate Nine Acupoints.
Once the nine apertures open, Yin Spirit Divine Power can be refined into Netherworld Qi, further promoting Yin Spirit growth, eventually transforming into a Yin God.
This step is akin to a Qi Cultivator’s spiritual treasure and the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique artifact creation.
“But I haven’t practiced any secret method for refining the Divine Embryo.”
“Just because I absorbed a Yama True Ghost Pattern, did the Yin Spirit Divine Embryo suddenly achieve the Fetal Breathing Nine Apertures?”
Chen Mu was bewildered.
