Chapter 720: Keep Getting Stronger
After going through a lot of twists and turns in his heart, Lin Mu finally saw through it and walked out.
No matter how difficult and tortuous the road ahead is, he can only grit his teeth and persevere, not retreat, not escape, and face it bravely, just as he has always done.
Stick to yourself and never give up!
After a thorough wash, washing off the dirt on his body and the haze in his heart, Lin Mu regained his spirit and recovered.
Lin Mu's mind moved, and he summoned Qingniu from the Xuanyue Pendant, one man and one cow, embarked on the journey.
Go to Tianxiao Realm!
Seeing Qingniu again, Lin Mu felt very kind, and found that everything became strange and familiar, and even more touching.
Along the way, relatives, friends, and confidantes all left, and only Qingniu accompanied him all the time.
Qingniu himself, as the only survivor of his tribe, is even more lonely than him.
"This time we are going back to Tianxiao Realm, I want to solve some mysteries." Lin Mu said calmly.
"I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Qingniu said, "But I feel intuitively that you have a lot to do with this matter."
"Did you notice it?" Lin Mu said with a wry smile.
"You were possessed, but you were still alive. When you woke up, you were in the Lingguang Realm. After that, you destroyed Lingshan Temple. It was going smoothly, but something unexpected happened in the middle. Master Lingyun came to stop it, and there were many black shadows." Qingniu analyzed, "This is all too strange."
"All problems can only be found from the source, so I want to go back to the Tianxiao Realm." Lin Mu nodded.
"You are trapped in such a huge vortex, getting deeper and deeper, unable to break free. In my opinion, it is not accidental." Qingniu said.
"What do you think?" Lin Mu asked.
"Your current situation should be said to be destined." Qingniu said firmly.
"Do you know something?" Lin Mu's heart moved.
"You and I are about the same age. Even you don't know the matter, how can I know it, let alone about yourself." Qingniu said, "But it's easy to analyze it."
Lin Mu was interested and couldn't help but say, "Tell me about it."
"When you were in Tianxiao Realm, you entered Qianyu Sword Gate, and Yinxin and Luo Yan secretly cultivated you. What was the reason?" Qingniu asked.
"Fairy Nishang." Lin Mu said concisely.
Fairy Nishang had already explained everything about him before he entered Qianyu Sword Gate.
This time he went back, he just wanted to find Fairy Nishang to ask clearly.
Back then, his strength was low, and Yinxin and Luo Yan didn't tell him many things. Later, in order to get rid of Yinxin's bondage and regain his freedom, he resolutely left Yinxin and Luo Yan, and did the opposite. He didn't go to Lancai Realm to find Fairy Nishang, and lost the opportunity to ask questions in person.
Now, he wants to make up for it.
With his current strength, he must be qualified to know those things.
Before the tribulation, his strength was superior to that of the peak cultivators in the Return to Void Stage. Now that he has successfully passed the tribulation, although his sword domain has not improved much, and he has only reached the middle stage of the sword domain, and his cultivation is only the Condensation Stage, his strength has definitely improved a lot.
According to his estimation, he is still not as good as Master Lingyun back then, but under Master Lingyun, he should have the ability to protect himself and barely escape.
Fairy Nishang was only a master in the Condensation Stage back then. After hundreds of years, according to normal circumstances, she probably hasn't entered the Return to Void Stage yet.
After all, Fairy Nishang even knows his origins, so she must not be an ordinary person. It is not surprising that her cultivation has entered the Return to Void Stage now.
Even so, her strength is not much stronger than his, and it is very likely that she is far inferior to him.
On the contrary, Lin Mu is full of expectations for Yinxin.
When he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Yinxin had already comprehended the sword intent.
Yuanying stage cultivators who comprehend the sword intent are all top talents. Generally, only the Condensation stage cultivators can touch the threshold of the sword intent. Yinxin has also crossed two major realms.
Compared with talent, Yinxin is not inferior to him at all, and his foundation is not worse than his. Yinxin also lost all his cultivation and remained silent for a hundred years, so his foundation is extremely solid.
Lin Mu’s strongest body now is his physique, all thanks to the mystery of the "Quenching Veins Art". Yinxin also practiced it, much earlier than him.
Even the "Five Elements Heart Method" that he has been practicing was passed down by Master Yinxin.
Now looking back, Lin Mu found that Yinxin is also extremely important and played the most critical role in his practice.
And all this is not natural, but intentional.
The "Five Elements Heart Method" is extremely exquisite. Now that his cultivation has been promoted to the Condensation stage, he can still continue to practice. Lin Mu is a little suspicious whether it was really created by Tianzhu Zhenren.
All these mysteries are waiting to be solved.
"Fairy Nishang is indeed very important." Qingniu said, "But I think that after all, she has never shown up, and she only had an influence on you when you were in Tianxiao Realm. After leaving Tianxiao Realm, she will no longer have any influence on you."
"What do you think?" Lin Mu asked.
"I think the root of all the problems lies in the Xuanyue Pendant." Qingniu said bluntly.
"I have already guessed that the Moon-Rotating Pendant is the most important." Lin Mu said, "This Moon-Rotating Pendant was passed down by my ancestors. I guess these whirlpools may be related to my ancestors. So, I am also very curious about my origins."
"Your Moon-Rotating Pendant can be called a treasure for cultivating immortals. Even now, you rarely need elixirs to improve your cultivation, but in the early stage, it really helped you a lot. When your cultivation is promoted to a higher level, it will become more difficult to improve. I guess you will reuse the Moon-Rotating Pendant again at that time." Qingniu analyzed it clearly, "This is the source of all mysteries. You must keep it well."
Lin Mu nodded seriously.
One man and one cow fell into silence, each thinking, and continued to travel silently.
Qingniu suddenly said: "I noticed another strange thing!"
"What?" Lin Mu asked hurriedly.
Qingniu and he knew each other well and followed him all the way. For many things, only Qingniu could understand more thoroughly and see more clearly.
"I remembered my own life story." Qingniu said, "My origin is also extremely extraordinary, more noble than the phoenix and the unicorn, but why did I end up in the Tianxiao Realm? Do you think this is a coincidence? Both of our origins are extraordinary, but we are both in the Tianxiao Realm at the same time, which is too abnormal!"
"You mean, my ancestors and your ancestors had some intersections before, or even friends?" Lin Mu understood it at once.
"It's very likely!" Qingniu nodded, and then looked expectant and puzzled, "I really want to know what happened in the past."
"It's useless to think too much now." Lin Mu said, "There must be a way when the car reaches the mountain. We will go step by step, and sooner or later we will be able to solve these mysteries. The most important thing is to be strong enough!"
Qingniu agreed: "Everything is false, and it is easy to drift away with the wind and never see it again. Only with strong strength can we protect all the good things. This time when we return to the Tianxiao Realm, we can't take it lightly, and don't let the tragedy happen again."
Lin Mu nodded repeatedly.
It must not be a simple matter to investigate why the demons attacked the Tianxiao Realm this time, so he had to be fully prepared.
When they were about to fly out of the Lingguang Realm, Lin Mu and Qing Niu both stopped and decided to rest.
They had already decided on the next trip, but no one knew whether there would be another accident in the middle.
Lin Mu would not rely on luck either. Not every accident would allow him to escape unscathed. This time the thunder tribulation was so powerful that if he was not well prepared, he would have been killed long ago.
Only when you are strong yourself is the truth.
After this tribulation, Lin Mu's strength was comprehensively improved. Only at the end of the thunder tribulation, in order to save his life, he desperately burst out to resist, which consumed some of his original spiritual power, and his cultivation level dropped to the late stage of concentration. He only needed to practice hard for a period of time, and he would soon be able to return to the peak again, without worrying about anything.
In terms of spiritual consciousness, he also successfully entered the middle stage of returning to the void, and was about to reach the late stage of returning to the void, which was a lot of progress.
The physique has already entered the fusion stage. In a short period of time, unless there is a great opportunity, it is difficult to improve it simply by practicing hard.
His sword attainment has now entered the middle stage of the sword domain. It will be more and more difficult to improve in the future. Without the help of Xuanhu Jiandan and Mu Wanqing Ganlushui, his progress will inevitably become slow.
If you want to improve your strength quickly, you can only start with treasures.
Lin Mu sorted out his magic weapons and found that all of them were greatly reduced in power, and even on the verge of collapse, and it would be difficult to recover.
Fortunately, whether it is the Sui Xin Sword or the Five Elements Magic Mirror, the spirit of the weapon is his own consciousness, which can be easily restored. Now that his consciousness is far better than before, it is not too difficult to restore the spirituality of the Sui Xin Sword and the Five Elements Magic Mirror.
The difficulty is to restore the power of these magic weapons.
Lin Mu, with the idea of giving it a try, refined the storage bags of Xiao Qingmei, Xiao He, and Master Lingyun. What comforted him was that he actually found a lot of treasures.
Xiao He had several spiritual magic weapons, all of which were quite powerful, and nothing was lost. Lin Mu threw them all into the Five Elements Magic Mirror, letting it slowly devour and restore its power. Master Lingyun also had two spiritual magic weapons in his storage bag, which had probably not been used for a long time, so Lin Mu also threw them into the Five Elements Magic Mirror.
Soon, after Lin Mu continuously input his spiritual consciousness and devoured several spiritual magic weapons, the Five Elements Magic Mirror shone again, with five-color brilliance flowing, glittering and blurry.
Then, Lin Mu hurriedly put the Qingyun Ding, the Fire Yuan Battle Armor, and the Golden Light Sword in the Misty Fairyland, letting them slowly restore their power.
In Xiao Qingmei's storage bag, Lin Mu found the Soul Burial Bell, the treasure of Lingshan Temple, and the golden pestle that struck the Soul Burial Bell, but the Soul Burial Bell also lost its power. Lin Mu also put the Soul Burial Bell in the Misty Fairyland to slowly restore it.
There was also a red armor flashing with red light, the Phoenix Armor. Lin Mu stared at it for a moment, sighed, and carefully put it away.
Then, Lin Mu condensed several groups of peerless thunder tribulation power and gave them to Qingniu, asking Qingniu to make a thunder essence bead to prepare for future troubles.
Lin Mu immersed himself in his mind and began to carefully check his thunder essence infant.
