Chapter 141 Nine Levels of Foundation Building
According to Master Iron Corpse's memory, the small secret place is located more than 300 meters under the sea and was accidentally discovered during patrol.
It took a lot of effort to break through the protective formation.
Unfortunately, there was nothing inside except Lu Jingkong's body.
I originally thought that Lu Jingkong had searched all the treasures away, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything valuable on Lu Jingkong after searching for a long time.
The body was then taken away by Master Iron Corpse, leaving only a foundation-building elder to guard the space.
According to Master Iron Corpse's perception, the concentration of spiritual energy in that small secret realm has reached the level of medium-sized spiritual veins. It is definitely a treasure land for cultivation.
Just because he was worried about problems in the secret realm, Master Iron Corpse did not practice in it. He wanted to wait a few years and see the situation before making a decision.
A small secret realm comparable to a medium-sized spiritual vein is much stronger than Kuroshio Island, and it will definitely make Xu Mu's cultivation improve a lot faster.
No longer have to worry about the aura of the tool corpse!
Xu Mu carefully thought about the feasibility of the matter, and after feeling that there was no big problem, he set off with the coffin with the tool corpse on his back.
According to memory, it didn't take much effort to find the sea area where the secret place was.
After confirming the position, Xu Mu took a deep breath, kneaded the magic formula with his hands, and his body began to change. His arms gradually turned into the shape of shark fins, and a row of sharp shark fins grew out of his back.
However, his face still maintained a human appearance, but his eyes became sharper, giving off a fierce aura.
He plunged into the sea and dived into the trench a hundred meters deep. There was darkness in front of him, but Xu Mu could clearly see everything around him.
The surroundings are covered with huge coral reefs and various marine life, among which there are many large red-spotted starfish, stretching out their long tentacles and looking for food everywhere.
Compared with the less aggressive starfish in the previous life, the attack power of these red-spotted starfish is quite powerful. In an environment like the seabed, it will be very difficult to deal with them even in the later stage of Qi training.
Moreover, they will also spit out a paralyzing toxin that penetrates into the spiritual power. If you are not careful, you may be infected during the foundation building stage.
When they first discovered it, it made everyone in the Iron Corpse Gang useless.
Sensing Xu Mu's arrival at this time, these red-spotted starfish, which were larger than humans, immediately rushed up, but they did not come to attack. Instead, they expressed their surrender to Xu Mu, showing their vital points one by one, showing their closeness.
Xu Mu's current cultivation level has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and the Twelve Jingzhe Jue has also reached the perfect level. After transforming into the silver shark form, his power is several times greater than before. The Ordinary Sea Clan can only surrender when they see him.
Of course, not all sea people have this ability. Only the royal family among the sea people can make ordinary sea creatures surrender. This is one of the main reasons why they are called royal families.
Ignoring these friendly starfish, Xu Mu walked through the coral group and found a trench in it that was no more than ten meters long and two meters wide according to Master Iron Corpse's memory.
This is the entrance to the small secret realm. It was a complete accident that I discovered it.
There were no guards at the entrance. Xu Mu used his spiritual power to shoot, but only set up an illusion array to avoid being noticed.
He began to knead the magic formula, and an illusion formation and a defensive formation gradually appeared in front of him. In the illusion formation, the sea water begins to become clear and bright, as if you are in a crystal palace, and the defensive formation is a thick energy barrier that can withstand attacks from the outside world.
Xu Mu entered the small space created by the illusion formation. This was a spacious and quiet underwater cave. There are various strange creatures in the cave, but none of them pose any threat to Xu Mu.
After passing through the illusion array, Xu Mu moved his fingers slightly, and a weak spiritual power slowly flowed out from the tips of his fingers, forming a tiny rune.
His fingers continued to dance, and the runes expanded, becoming more and more visible. Xu Mu frowned slightly, his finger movements became more skillful, and the runes became more complex.
Finally, the runes hit the defensive formation, and the formation's light curtain began to fluctuate violently. Xu Mu's fingers stopped, he took a deep breath, and then whispered: "Defensive formation, activate!"
As his words fell, the runes began to glow, and a powerful energy spread around the runes, forming a stable channel.
This defensive formation channel could only be maintained for a period of time, so Xu Mu quickly crossed over without hesitation.
As he crossed the formation, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. Looking up, Xu Mu's pupils could not help but shrink slightly.
The space in front of him was probably less than ten miles in diameter, a hundred feet high, and completely supported by huge skeletons.
The skeleton emits white light, illuminating the entire space.
Standing at the entrance, Xu Mu suddenly felt how insignificant he was.
"What kind of giant beast's bones are these?"
Xu Mu had never seen such a huge skeleton.
"Could it be the legendary true spirit beast?"
Xu Mu was shocked.
The true spirit beast is an existence comparable to the Mahayana of mankind. It almost stands at the top of the mortal world. Unless the immortal takes action, no one can subdue it.
"No, if it is really a true spiritual beast, Master Iron Corpse cannot possibly abandon it!"
Xu Mu walked closer to check, and when he put his hand on it with a little force, the bones were crushed into pieces.
"..."
It seems that they are not the bones of a real spirit. Of course, it may be that they have existed for too long.
Xu Mu, who felt a little regretful in his heart, released his spiritual thoughts to feel everything around him.
The space is filled with rich aura, and many strange-shaped creatures are flying in the air, lurking in the water, or crawling on bones, bringing a vibrant atmosphere to this small space.
The only thing they have in common is that they are all very weak.
Although this place is small, it is rich in spiritual energy. It stands to reason that powerful monsters should be born.
"They were all probably killed by Lu Jingkong!"
Xu Mu did not dwell too much on this issue.
With the unscrupulous firing of spiritual thoughts, the elders of the Iron Corpse Gang who stayed in this space also discovered his existence.
"who are you?"
A black light flew from a distance and landed in front of Xu Mu, revealing the figure of an old man in black robes.
The old man was thin and his skin was pale, as if there was no trace of blood. His eyes were sunken into their sockets, and there was a cold air in his black pupils, which made people shudder.
Wearing a black robe, the robe is covered with various strange symbols and spells, which looks very mysterious. He holds a black bone staff in his hand, with a blood-red gem inlaid on the head, exuding Weird light.
"You, you are-"
After seeing Xu Mu's figure clearly, the old man who was originally calm suddenly lost his composure.
Because this image is so familiar to him.
It was the Silver Shark who attacked the Iron Corpse Gang a year ago.
Although he had never met Xu Mu in person, he had seen many portraits and photos of him, so he recognized him at a glance.
Two green-faced fangs, wearing armor, with blood-red eyes were immediately released by him.
"It seems you know me, so that'll be easy."
Xu Mu raised his mouth slightly, and the silver phantom thunder rolled in his hand, making a harsh buzzing sound. His eyes were sharp and his body was agile, approaching the old man step by step.
The old man looked pale and quickly took out a porcelain bottle containing black liquid. There was a sinister aura in his eyes that made people shudder.
Xu Mu's eyes flashed and he suddenly launched an attack. The silver phantom thunder instantly turned into a silver snake and swooped towards the old man. The old man hurriedly raised his hand, and a stream of black air spurted out from his hand, swallowing up all the silver phantom thunder.
At the same time, the two refined corpses separated into left and right sides and quickly rushed towards Xu Mu.
"interesting!"
Xu Mu's expression remained unchanged, as if he had not seen the vicious corpse refining at all.
The old man's eyes flickered, and he suddenly threw out the porcelain bottle in his hand. The black liquid inside turned into a dragon, and the stench filled Xu Mu's nose.
"Um?"
Just when the old man was puzzled that Xu Mu was hit so easily, a silver lightning suddenly appeared out of thin air and hit the old man's chest directly.
The old man let out an exclamation, and his body suddenly took a few steps back, but he quickly stood up again.
"There are still more?"
Xu Mu's figure appeared, with a look of surprise on his face.
I didn't expect that the opponent actually had two magic weapons that could resist the attack of phantom thunder. It seemed that these people were really trying their best to deal with him.
If that's all, then give it a rest.
Xu Mu didn't wait for the old man to react and launched another attack. His figure moved as fast as lightning, dodging the corpse-refining attack while releasing silver thunder.
Streams of silver phantom thunder continued to shoot out from his hands.
The old man only managed to hold on for a few more moments before being hit on the head and frozen in place.
As the old man fell into hallucination, the two refined corpses lost control and stopped.
Xu Mu had no intention of killing the other party. After stripping off everything the old man could, he pulled him out of the hallucination.
"Go back and tell you people from the Iron Corpse Gang that this is my territory from now on. If you dare to disturb me, I will destroy your Iron Corpse Gang!"
After saying that, Xu Mu showed off his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building.
As long as the opponent is not stupid, he will not fight for territory on the bottom of the sea with a sea tribe in the late stage of foundation building.
Not to mention that the Iron Corpse Gang is only in the foundation building stage, even if it is in the golden elixir stage, they will have to think twice. That is why Xu Mu dared to occupy this place so generously.
That elder fled naked and will probably leave a shadow for the rest of his life.
Xu Mu inspected it carefully, modified the defensive formation and the phantom formation, and then arranged several separate formations to block the entrance of the cave. After confirming that there was no danger, he took out the tool corpse.
"Such a rich aura of heaven and earth, the effect should be very good!"
At this time, Xu Mu's eyes inevitably revealed a look of fanaticism. He took a deep breath, then entered the body, closed his eyes, and used the secret technique of Yin and Yang.
With the operation of the secret technique, the tool corpse was immediately activated, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to pour into her body crazily. The huge spiritual energy of heaven and earth made the tool corpse begin to tremble, as if it was a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't stop. As time went by, she absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth even more crazily.
It didn't take long for him to become completely accustomed to the concentration of spiritual energy here.
Then, driven by the secret technique, it was injected into Xu Mu's body without reservation.
His cultivation began to improve, his spiritual power became stronger and stronger, and his perception became more and more acute.
The surrounding scenery also began to change. The alternation of yin and yang appeared in the sky, and exotic flowers and plants appeared on the ground. Xu Mu's power of cultivation had affected the entire space.
Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took. Xu Mu suddenly heard a buzzing sound inside his body, and his breath surged. He stopped operating the secret technique and slowly opened his eyes.
"Nineth level of foundation building! I didn't expect to reach it so easily!"
Ordinary people may have to practice for ten or twenty years, but he broke through in just a few months. You can imagine his surprise.
Next is the advanced golden elixir!
This was much faster than he expected.
Just when Xu Mu was considering whether to continue practicing for a while to consolidate his cultivation or leave, an extremely angry voice sounded in Xu Mu's heart.
"Things like ants! How dare you defile my body!"
