Chapter 788 A Lucky Misunderstanding

The advancement of the Five Elements Magic Mirror this time was without any signs and extremely sudden.

Lin Mu himself had not expected it before.

He nurtured the Five Elements Magic Mirror with all his heart and soul, but he did not nurture it with his own consciousness, but with the free consciousness of millions of cultivators accumulated in the Misty Fairyland, which was incomparable.

No matter how humble something is, when the number gathers to a terrifying degree, it will become noble.

It is the same as piling up soil to form a mountain, gathering sand to form a tower, and gathering feathers to form a coat.

The consciousness of millions of cultivators gathered together, and among these millions of cultivators, almost more than 90% of them have reached the Nascent Soul Stage, and there are also a considerable number of Condensation Stage cultivators and a certain number of Return to Void Stage cultivators. The consciousness gathered by such a large number of cultivators is much more precious and valuable than ordinary dust, fine sand, and fur.

Dust can be piled up into towering mountains, fine sand can be gathered into exquisite pagodas, fur can be gathered into gorgeous robes, and it is reasonable that the consciousness of millions of cultivators can nurture the most powerful peerless spiritual treasure in the world.

Lin Mu's original intention was to improve the power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror and strive to reach the peak level of spiritual magic treasures. What he didn't expect was that once things were underway and at the critical moment, he had no choice. The Five Elements Magic Mirror later began to evolve on its own and began to think about the advancement of peerless spiritual treasures. He himself was the spirit of the Five Elements Magic Mirror and had absolute control. If he forced the advancement to stop, he could do it easily.

However, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity does not mean that you can nurture it successfully with the consciousness of millions of cultivators. You still have excellent luck and opportunity. Once you miss it this time, you don't know when you will have to wait for the next time.

Under such circumstances, Lin Mu had to ignore the consequences and advance first!

If he had known this, he would never have nurtured and improved the power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror in Qianjin City, where cultivators gathered. Instead, he would have found a remote place, quietly nurtured it, and then quietly left. Even if someone discovered the strange phenomenon in the world, by the time they arrived there, he had already left for a long time, and no one would know who nurtured the peerless spiritual treasure.

Now, under the watch of nearly one million cultivators in Qianjin City, he nurtured the peerless spiritual treasure. While he was enjoying the glory, he also left many hidden dangers.

He had already deeply experienced the truth that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. It was not uncommon, especially in the world of cultivation. This profound truth had caused countless cultivators to die.

He did not have a clear understanding of what level of treasure the peerless spiritual treasure was, but he had heard many rumors about cultivators in the fusion stage.

For ordinary cultivators in the fusion stage, the power of the spiritual magic weapon used was only considered excellent. For powerful cultivators in the fusion stage, the power of the spiritual magic weapon used was considered excellent.

Among the top fusion stage cultivators, there are only a few who can occasionally nurture a treasure of the peak level of spiritual magic weapon. Such people are rare and few.

Lin Mu knows that the higher the cultivation of the cultivator, the more difficult it is to advance. He himself is a perfect example. Although his cultivation is only at the Condensation stage, he has not been completely sure until now. He dare not cross the tribulation to impact the Return to Void stage, for fear of giving up all his previous efforts and falling.

This is true for all cultivators, and the same is true for magic weapons.

In fact, cultivators spend most of their energy on improving themselves, and only spend a small part of their energy on nurturing magic weapons. It is even more difficult to improve magic weapons.

The power of spiritual magic weapons can only be improved through nurturing, which is an extremely long process. If you want to improve across realms, it may take tens of thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. This depends on the individual.

From this, you can imagine how rare peerless spiritual treasures are.

The cultivators in the Fusion Stage had been busy improving themselves before, otherwise they would not have achieved such a high level of success. It was impossible for them to spend tens of thousands of years to nurture spiritual treasures. In other words, it was basically impossible for cultivators in the Fusion Stage to possess peerless spiritual treasures.

This inference seemed to be correct.

It was not until Lin Mu successfully advanced the Five Elements Magic Mirror that he realized this truth and knew what he had done this time and what kind of impact it would have.

He now actually possessed a treasure that no cultivator in the Fusion Stage could possess!

This was worth rejoicing, and he was simply ecstatic.

Before, if he and Qingniu had joined forces, he might have had the hope of fighting a cultivator in the Fusion Stage head-on. Now, he could fight a cultivator in the Fusion Stage alone!

Perhaps, he could even have the absolute upper hand!

This was really a pleasant surprise, something he had never thought of before.

When he decided to work hard to develop the Misty Fairyland in order to enhance the power of the Five Elements Magic Mirror, and by the way, to refine several top spiritual treasures and increase his chances of passing the tribulation, he did not think so much.

Now, he has only realized the first few of his ideas. Many of his wonderful ideas have not been put into practice yet, but the Five Elements Magic Mirror has actually been directly upgraded and become a peerless spiritual treasure.

This surprise caught him off guard.

There is a reward for hard work, and sometimes there is not only a reward, but also a bigger surprise!

He did not force himself to cross the calamity, nor did he practice wholeheartedly. Instead, he took great pains, spent endless energy and precious life to develop the Misty Fairyland. Now it seems that he has taken the right path!

Now that the Five Elements Magic Mirror has been promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure, his chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation have greatly increased!

If he nurtures several more powerful spiritual magic treasures, he has almost 90% chance of advancing to the Return to Void Stage safely!

In order to increase his chances of overcoming the tribulation and to avoid the thunder tribulation being too powerful, he even gradually stopped comprehending the sword domain, and the improvement of the sword domain realm became extremely slow.

Now, he can put this worry aside.

In the coming days, it will be fine for him to work hard to improve the sword domain. By then, his own strength will be stronger, and it will also be beneficial to overcoming the tribulation. The most important thing is that he knows the importance of foundation.

The deeper the foundation, the more comprehension you will have when overcoming the tribulation. Every cultivator, even if he has reached the fusion stage, can only cross the tribulation a few times. Every thunder tribulation is extremely dangerous, but it is also an excellent opportunity. The deeper the foundation, the greater the profit. This is a long-term thing that affects the final success or failure.

Blessings are dependent on disasters, and disasters are dependent on blessings.

The advancement of the Five Elements Magic Mirror also brought many hidden dangers.

One careless move could make him disappear into ashes and never recover!

Lin Mu knew that this matter was of great importance.

What he didn't expect was that before he came out of retreat, a cultivator in the fusion stage came to investigate!

He overheard some of the conversation between Xu Hong and the cultivator in the fusion stage who came to investigate, and the news shocked him.

In Qianjin City, even the current owner of Fengyu Tower, the largest force, could not make Xu Hong so humble.

Xu Hong called this person Uncle Nie, who seemed to be older than Xu Hong's father, Xu Qingyun. Lin Mu didn't pay much attention to the rumors in Qianjin City, but he also paid attention to the major forces. He clearly remembered that the former owner of Fengyu Tower was Nie Changkong, who had reached the middle stage of fusion before he retired!

During their conversation, Uncle Nie also invited Xu Hong to Fengyu Tower to chat.

From all these, it can be inferred that this person is most likely Nie Changkong, who was once a powerful figure!

Now, Nie Changkong's cultivation is even more powerful than before. Lin Mu has never seen a cultivator with more power than Nie Changkong. This is a kind of restrained power. After the Five Elements Magic Mirror was promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure, he himself is the spirit of the Five Elements Magic Mirror. Therefore, he can vaguely see that Nie Changkong's cultivation seems to have reached the late stage of fusion!

Lin Mu was shocked by such strength.

Even if he now has a peerless spiritual treasure, he is not sure that he can fight Nie Changkong head-on.

He has no clear understanding of his own strength. If Nie Changkong knew that it was him who nurtured the peerless spiritual treasure, not Xu Hong's father Xu Qingyun, Nie Changkong would probably attack him!

This was the result he least wanted to see. Whether he succeeded or failed, it would be a heavy blow to him. If he had a spiritual weapon in his hand, he would be invincible. Even if he won against Nie Changkong, it would be a miserable victory, and an extremely tragic one. At that time, it would be a fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman would benefit. He would almost certainly die. If he lost, everything would be over.

So no matter what, he couldn't fight with Nie Changkong.

At least, not now.

What made him extremely happy was that Xu Hong was really nice and took the initiative to help him lie and said that he was his father. This lie was also perfect and there was no flaw. It was really difficult for Xu Hong.

Lin Mu's heart was warmed and he was very grateful.

Xu Hong's move was tantamount to saving his life!

However, Nie Changkong had lived for tens of thousands of years and was more cunning than Xu Hong. Even if Xu Hong said there was no flaw, he still had doubts in his heart and secretly released a divine consciousness to come and investigate.

Lin Mu saw all of this, and he must not let Nie Changkong see the truth!

So, he launched the most fierce counterattack.

The Five Elements Magic Mirror was promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure, and it had new effects when attacking.

What made Lin Mu most happy was that he could use the vast amount of divine consciousness accumulated in the Misty Fairyland to launch a sharp attack.

Although the Five Elements Magic Mirror's advancement almost consumed most of the divine consciousness accumulated in the Misty Fairyland, there was still a small part left.

These divine consciousnesses may not be able to fight Nie Changkong head-on, but they are more than enough to defeat his probing divine consciousness.

Although Nie Changkong has a high level of cultivation, it is just a probing divine consciousness, and Lin Mu has used all his strength. If he still cannot win, then he is really dangerous. Once Nie Changkong makes a move, he will definitely lose!

The result is still relatively optimistic, he won!

His counterattack this time was enough to shock Nie Changkong and make him dare not act rashly.

If it were someone else, it might be difficult to deceive the cunning Nie Changkong, but he was completely different.

The Five Elements Magic Mirror was extremely unique, and Lin Mu himself was the spirit of the Five Elements Magic Mirror, so even if he launched an attack with all his strength, Nie Changkong would mistakenly think that it was the peerless magic treasure protecting its master on its own, not Xu Qingyun's manipulation. If Xu Qingyun followed suit, the counterattack would be even more powerful, and he would definitely not be able to resist, so he left immediately.

It was this misunderstanding that gave Lin Mu a chance to catch his breath.

This time, he escaped by luck!
