I am grinding experience in another world - Chapter 765 - 753: All Heaven Star
“I don’t know which old fish is the owner of that Dragon Ball, daring to make me your scapegoat!”
“Hmph! You better not let me find you!” In the cave at the bottom of the well, Chen Mu gritted his teeth in anger.
“Once I do find you, I will…”
“I will spare your life!”
He truly wanted to kill that meddlesome old fish. But since the other party has cultivated a Dragon Ball, they’re at least an Artifact Creation Realm Heavenly Demon Path cultivator. Moreover, since they’ve been solemnly sealed and imprisoned by the members of the Yin Ghost Sect, it’s possible they’ve already cultivated into the True Dragon Form.
Really going head-to-head with them…
“It’s better to resolve enmity than to keep it alive; I’m not getting worked up over this old fish, I guess it’s my generous nature.”
Chen Mu nodded seriously and turned back to ponder the changes after devouring the Dragon Binding Chain.
He then discovered that the invisible barrier enveloping Golden River City unexpectedly extended outward by several dozen meters.
“This chain has actually suppressed the invisible barrier?” Chen Mu raised an eyebrow.
He also noticed that in the areas where the barrier reappeared, much of the rock and soil had disappeared, with what remained charred as if severely scorched and corroded.
“Could it be, the barrier is not imprisoning but rather protecting Golden River City?!”
Chen Mu’s heart skipped a beat.
“It’s really possible!”
He turned to look at the hollow sphere that reappeared above the dragon’s head.
The hollow sphere originally housed the Dragon Ball, and the invisible barrier covering Golden River City might actually be a special Protective Qi Mechanism created by the Dragon Ball, which blocked the erosion from the dark waters outside the barrier.
Previously, the Dragon Ball was sealed by the Dragon Binding Chain, compressing the coverage of the barrier.
Now that the chain has been devoured by Yama Feasting Divine Power, reducing the binding force, it stands to reason that the barrier would expand.
“Since the power restraining the Dragon Ball is weakening, wouldn’t the force pulling me away also be diminishing?”
Chen Mu had a thought, and immediately took out the Five Ghosts Bag.
Black smoke billowed out, and a two to three meters tall miniature version of the Ghost Gate quickly emerged at the bottom of the well.
Without hesitation, he stepped through.
In the next instant.
Clatter…
The sound of chains rapidly moving rang out.
Black chains burst from the ground, like long snakes, swiftly slithering along the stone dragon’s body.
An invisible force struck, and as soon as half of Chen Mu’s body entered the Ghost Gate, he was immediately fixed in place by a pulling force.
He retreated from the Ghost Gate, frowning as he looked at the stone dragon sculpture.
In just that brief moment, the devoured chain had already regenerated and was as if it had never disappeared.
“So it can regenerate on its own?” Chen Mu grimaced, furrowing his brows more tightly.
Previously, he used the Yama Feasting Divine Power on the Fire Cloud Gourd, consuming it completely.
Try again!
Unwilling to give up, Chen Mu once again used the Yama Feasting Divine Power, skillfully devouring the chain.
Then he suddenly made a big leap, quickly rushing toward the Ghost Gate,
and then…
And then he was once again caught by an invisible force.
Chen Mu turned to look, only to find the chain on the stone dragon had already recovered.
“Tsk!”
“I thought I could escape while the chain was unresponsive, but it seems that’s not going to work now.”
…
The next day.
On the second-floor corridor of the Golden Pool Pavilion, Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair.
A Giant Spirit Divine shrunk to human size and armored stood not far in front of him.
He tapped his toes on the ground, Yin Spirit Divine Power surged, and two chain-like patterns, as if drawn with ink, flew out from beneath his feet.
They clung to the ground like greedy snakes, meandering toward the Giant Spirit Divine.
Once they reached its feet, they began climbing up its legs, slowly binding the Giant Spirit Divine into a bundle.
Chen Mu’s spirit entered the Giant Spirit Divine, attempting to dissolve into mist and escape, but despite several efforts, he couldn’t succeed.
The perfected Giant Spirit Divine possesses Primordial Spirit traits, able to dissolve into mist and become invulnerable, yet it was now bound by chains formed by the Lock Spirit Spell.
“The Lock Spirit Spell indeed can bind a Spiritual Deity.” He nodded slightly.
But…
“The activation speed is too slow, it’s hard to apply in combat.”
“The binding power of the chains at the bottom of the well can cover Golden River City, but my Lock Spirit Spell can only bind a Giant Spirit Divine the size of an ordinary person.”
“Moreover, once cast, it requires continuous maintenance, unlike the chains at the bottom of the well which can exist independently and recover on their own.”
“This Lock Spirit Spell is just like that.” Chen Mu smacked his lips and shook his head in regret.
With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the Yin Spirit Divine Power, and the chain patterns quickly turned into a mass of black smoke and disappeared.
“Hoping to break free by studying the chains at the bottom of the well seems increasingly unlikely.” He thought of last night’s attempt, his mood heavy.
The cave near the bottom of the invisible barrier contained only a small segment of the Stone Dragon body and Dragon Binding Chain, with more of it far outside the barrier.
Through the chains inside the barrier, he could only master the Lock Spirit Spell. But the Lock Spirit Spell was just the foundation of the Dragon Binding Chain, the crucial part was its arrangement. However, the chains inside the barrier could no longer provide more insights.
Additionally, because the Dragon Binding Chain was too short, its effect on the entire chain was minimal, and it could recover quickly, he couldn’t weaken the invisible restraint by devouring the chain.
Give up on the Yin Mistaken Yang?
Chen Mu slowly shook his head.
He had considered this long ago, but it was no use.
The Inner Cultivation of Spiritual Treasure, entwined with life, was nearly equivalent to a part of his own body. Outer Cultivation Treasure was slightly inferior, but not by much.
The Yin Mistaken Yang, repeatedly refined by him using the Taiyi Refining Treasure Technique, had already become a part of him. Locking the Yin Mistaken Yang was essentially locking Chen Mu.
“I can only look for another way.” He shook his head in regret.
“I wonder what method that unknown old eel used to bring me into Golden River City without a sound.”
“But if he had such means, why was he suppressed here?”
“Tsk tsk, no matter if that guy is a cultivator who mastered the True Form Realm’s Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique, or a True Form Great Demon with True Dragon Bloodline, he surely is a clumsy thing!”
“Hmmph hmmph!”
Chen Mu murmured sneakingly.
…
“We were drawn into Golden River City, possibly related to those twenty-four bright pearls in the sky.”
A few days later, on the second floor of the Golden Pool Pavilion, the gray-haired Tang Zhimu hesitated to speak.
“How so?”
Chen Mu’s eyes lit up.
Tang Zhimu had overseen the Tangshan Scripture Repository for many years, proficient in the arrangement of Forbidden Laws, presiding over the maintenance of the Tangshan Institute’s Mountain Protection Magical Barrier.
For the past few days, Chen Mu pondered, suspecting that being drawn into Golden River City might involve some hidden Forbidden Law.
He wanted to find a way out from this angle, so he sought out Tang Zhimu for inquiry. Unexpectedly, there was indeed some gain.
“The method that brought us here from nothing must be some form of Ground Shrinking Secret Technique.”
“Previously, you probed the Heavenly River Cave Heaven Fire Eye many times without discovering any Forbidden Law traps.”
“But the absence of Forbidden Laws on the ground doesn’t mean there are none in the sky.” Tang Zhimu explained leisurely.
Finding himself here inexplicably, he couldn’t help but deduce multiple times out of fear, having already formed some conjectures.
“According to ancient books, within a Cave Heaven there must be a Heavenly Cycle Star Battle Forbidden, which is one of the fundamentals for the operation of Cave Heaven.”
“This Forbidden Law is infinitely powerful and just happens to have the ability of teleportation.”
Tang Zhimu glanced at Chen Mu and respectfully asked, “I’ve heard you cultivated on the Outer Heaven Star before, do you still remember that White Jade Heavenly Gate traversing the stars?”
What cultivation in Outer Heaven, it was just being a Daoist Soldier for others, this old man’s words were quite eloquent.
However…
“That White Jade Heavenly Gate capable of crossing billion miles of starry sky in an instant, is it the work of the Heavenly Cycle Star Battle Forbidden?!”
Chen Mu’s heart trembled.
“That’s not incorrect!” Tang Zhimu nodded, “After all, that vast sky full of stars is the source of the Heavenly Cycle Star Battle Forbidden.”
“It is precisely by borrowing its power that one can teleport between stars.”
“Within the Heavenly River Cave Heaven, there is the Heavenly Cycle Star Battle Forbidden, and it’s most likely what transported us here.”
Chen Mu’s eyes lit up; he suddenly remembered that before entering Golden River City, there seemed to be a sky full of starlight above the volcano in the Water Mansion Cave Heaven.
Stars appearing during the day, there must be a reason. In hindsight, it was likely the Star Battle Technique at work!
Chen Mu raised his head, looking through the wide-open door and window of the second floor at the twenty-four bright pearls in the sky.
“If we can find the path we came through these bright pearls, perhaps we can reverse the spell and leave this place!”
The twenty-four pearls were extremely peculiar, visible yet intangible, like a phantom, a kind of profound forbidden law.
Previously, he explored them using the Spirit Treasure Core Mechanism Technique but couldn’t penetrate it; however, circumstances were different now.
“I have Yama Feasting Divine Power!” Chen Mu’s heart surged with excitement!
