I am grinding experience in another world - Chapter 805 - 793: Mistaken Dream Realm
Three hundred miles outside of Miling Island.
A vast expanse of Yin Wind mixed with ghostly green flames descended onto the sea, transforming into a pitch-black cloud mass.
Eight or nine thin lines dragging tails of red light flew out from around the black cloud, like fireworks blooming in arcs of beauty, shooting out in all directions.
Within the cloud mass, a Giant Spirit Divine as tall as five or six stories stood silently in front of Xuanyuan Hall.
Golden threads of light flowed across the armor, with a swirling mist of red in the center of the face, dazzling bright.
Using the Vermilion Feather Sword, Chen Mu, standing on the shoulder of the Giant Spirit Divine, carefully probed the area of twenty miles around, opening his eyes only after several scans.
“Three hundred miles, neither near nor far, it should be temporarily safe.”
Below, five thousand Daoist Soldiers sat quietly on the ground, their expressions anxious yet not daring to move.
The Giant Spirit Divine standing as high as five or six stories indeed exerted a sense of oppression.
Wisps of pale golden mist drifted around the cloud mass, sometimes flying into the crowd, sometimes delving into the Yin Soul Black Cloud.
That was the Exotic Force of the Plague Immortal Technique.
Without the protection of the Five Directions Flag, the demon poison-filled Demon Qi charged straight in. It was precisely with the Plague Immortal Technique removing the demon poison that Chen Mu dared to retreat with the five thousand Daoist Soldiers of Ren Character Camp.
…
After confirming the surrounding safety, Chen Mu’s spirit focused three hundred miles away, where the Vermilion Feather Sword, left near Miling Island, circled around it.
Compared to the Flying Islands encountered before, Miling Island was not considered large, with a circumference of only thirty miles.
However, the island was covered in Spiritual Light, with mist permeating inside. Whether it was the Spiritual Light from the magic battles or the sounds of killing, there was none of it.
“Could it be… are they all dead?!”
Chen Mu’s heart shook with fear.
At once he activated the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, setting up the Yin Wind Escape, carrying the Daoist Soldiers and Xuanyuan Hall, flying another hundred miles away, only then feeling slightly at ease.
Find a way to go in and explore?
The moment this thought came out, Chen Mu immediately snuffed it out.
Daoist Monarch Jiang was a True Form High Cultivator, comparable to the Primordial Spirit, and he got trapped. If I go in, isn’t that courting death?
“Wait a bit longer.”
“Wait for three days,”
“If there’s still no outcome, then escape far away immediately.” Chen Mu made up his mind.
…
In the middle of the night.
A round moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by silence, only the occasional sound of crashing waves breaking the quiet.
It was supposedly a time for peaceful sleep, but within the Yin Soul Black Cloud, it was still brightly lit. The Daoist Soldiers of Ren Character Camp gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other.
Chen Mu himself dared not sleep.
With Daoist Monarch Jiang Men fallen, the fate of tens of thousands of daoist soldiers was unknown. This was the greatest peril encountered since arriving at Mistaken Heaven.
What if I’m affected while asleep?
Staying awake is the only way to react in time.
…
Miling Island remained silent, and Chen Mu kept a close watch at all times as time ticked by slowly.
By the time of dawn, the temperature lowered, and a faint mist rose from the sea surface.
The mist drifted everywhere, sometimes thin, sometimes dense. Seven or eight red lines probed back and forth within the mist.
On the steps in front of Xuanyuan Hall, Chen Mu, reclining in a rocking chair, frowned slightly.
After a while, he opened his eyes: “It seems to be just ordinary mist, no danger.”
“Ah, jumping at shadows, I’ve practically become a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow.” He shook his head in self-mockery.
The disappearance of the Five Directions Flag was indeed too secretly strange, thinking back on it still brought dread.
“Thankfully, that monster’s means, though clever, are not flawless. Unusual fluctuations occur during activation.”
“Previously, fearing to offend Daoist Monarch Jiang, I didn’t dare to spread out the Truth Listening Divine Power, hence couldn’t discover in advance.”
“Now with my Truth Listening Divine Power covering a radius of twenty miles, as long as that monster dares to show its face…”
“Humph!”
“I’ll immediately set up the Ghost Gate to scuttle away!”
“Your Secret Technique may be fast, but can it be faster than my Ground Shrinking?”
“Heh!”
Sneering with disdain, Chen Mu then manipulated the Vermilion Feather Sword to probe all the mist over the sea three more times inside and out.
“Strategically, it can be underestimated, but tactically, one must exercise caution. Staying vigilant is never wrong.”
After confirming nothing was wrong with the mist, Chen Mu felt slightly at ease, glanced at the nearby Ren Character Camp, and prepared to close his eyes again to rejuvenate.
But just as his eyes closed, he suddenly felt something wasn’t right.
Sitting up from the rocking chair, he fixed his gaze on the nearby Daoist Soldiers.
Like him, the five thousand Daoist Soldiers hadn’t slept all night. They were still huddled together in groups of three or five, discussing in low voices.
Watching them, listening, a strange sense of déjà vu suddenly rose in Chen Mu’s mind.
“The topics these people are discussing seem to… seem to be repeating, repeating the scenes of conversations and discussions from three or four hours ago!”
“It’s like a pre-recorded video looping continuously.”
“This effect took so long, I hadn’t noticed!”
Chen Mu’s scalp tingled.
The Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles suddenly grabbed at the nearest Daoist Soldier.
Poof!
Just like a bubble bursting, the Daoist Soldier instantly dissolved into specks of fluorescence and disappeared.
Just like the Five Directions Flag that exploded earlier!
Chen Mu abruptly stood up.
The Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles instantly enveloped the entire Ren Character Camp.
Pop pop pop…
Like bursting soap bubbles dancing in the sky, five thousand Daoist Soldiers instantly vanished into star points.
Inside the Yin Soul Cloud Platform, silence descended instantly.
When?!
The monster that ruined the Five Directions Flag… is nearby?!
Chen Mu’s pupils suddenly shrank to a pinpoint!
Escape!
He must leave this place immediately!
Ghost Gate!
Chen Mu immediately activated the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, preparing to perform the Ghost Gate Ground Shrinking.
But in the next moment.
With a soft sound, a Ghost in the black cloud exploded and disappeared.
It seemed to trigger a chain reaction, as the Xuanyuan Hall, Giant Spirit Divine, and tens of thousands of Ghosts shattered one after another.
In just a few breaths, everything disappeared, leaving only Chen Mu floating alone in mid-air.
The moon shone brightly overhead, and the surrounding sea waves roared loudly.
Yet Chen Mu felt a chilling cold all over, as if plunged into an ice cave.
What the hell is going on here!
In all his years of cultivation, he had never encountered such a bizarre situation!
…
Whoosh!
A cold white light appeared silently behind him.
Chen Mu’s body tightened, instinctively deploying the Longitudinal Rainbow Light, instantly teleporting away.
The cold white light passed right through the position where he had just been, then vanished into the void.
Chen Mu, revealing his form hundreds of meters away, his expression changed.
If he hadn’t instinctively dodged just now, he would have been pierced by that cold white beam!
Truthful Listening!
Chen Mu immediately activated the Truth Listening Divine Power, only to find that his previously invincible power was now drastically reduced. He could only sense five to six hundred meters around him, nearly losing its effectiveness compared to its past potency!
Before he could understand what was going on, instinctive warnings resurfaced in his mind, and Chen Mu’s face changed, once again turning into golden light to escape.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three consecutive cold white sharp beams surfaced at the position he had just stood.
Judging by their direction, they were clearly aiming to kill his neck, heart, and waist again!
“You managed to avoid my Maling Breath, you Human Demon, your Spiritual Deity is really sensitive.” A slightly surprised voice sounded not far behind Chen Mu.
Chen Mu suddenly turned around and saw a strange little man with translucent wings.
“So it’s you causing trouble!” Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, looking at the strange little man.
“What, you Humans can invade, but we can’t fight back?” Wu Neng’er sneered.
“Misunderstanding!” Chen Mu sighed, showing an expression of being wronged.
“Ever since coming to Mistaken Heaven, I’ve actively avoided conflict, never having personally killed any Mistaken Heaven beings.”
“We’re not only not enemies, but we could be dear friends or even loved ones!” His face was full of sincerity.
Wu Neng’er: “…”
Isn’t your expression-changing a bit too quick?!
“Do you think I will believe you?” He sneered.
“Even if what you said is true, so what?”
“All Human Demons from the outer domain deserve to die!” He stared at Chen Mu, eyes cold.
“Are you trying to delay time?” Wu Neng’er leisurely laughed aloud.
“Did you find out that all your past Divine Secret Techniques are useless here?”
“I guess if your Divine Secret Techniques were intact, you wouldn’t even have bothered to talk to me just now. You would have just fought directly, a battle to the death!”
Chen Mu: “…”
Your guess is pretty damn accurate.
“Ha!”
“Human Demons are indeed impossibly deceitful!” Wu Neng’er mocked.
“Let me tell you, this place is the Mistaken Dream Realm, inside the Mistaken Saint Venerable’s dream, it’s the final destination for Mistaken Beings.”
“Only pure Spiritual Deities can enter, past Divine Secret Techniques are all useless here.”
“Your Spiritual Sense is sharp, indeed I can’t do anything to you.”
“But as an outer domain being, you are naturally eroded by the Mistaken Dream Realm.”
“If you’re trapped here, you’ll be assimilated by the dream and become part of the Saint Venerable’s dream, never able to leave!”
“Haha, just wait for your death!” He laughed heartily.
Then without hesitation, he disappeared into the void in a blink.
Leaving Chen Mu with a dark face floating in mid-air, unable to react in time to track him.
