Chapter 911 Return of the Genius
The space of Xuanyue is full of spiritual energy.
Quiet and peaceful.
This is a world without conflict.
Lin Mu woke up suddenly.
He sat up from the ground.
His face was panicked and his mind was unsettled.
He looked around and memories came to him, and he suddenly understood.
This is the space of Xuanyue.
The battle that made him feel exhausted and thrilling has passed.
Du Cheng was extremely sinister in the end, self-destructing his Nascent Soul, and the strong storm almost forced him into death.
He used up all his trump cards, Qingyun Ding, Jinguang ***, Burial Soul Bell, Fire Yuan Armor, Shenyu Flying Ring, Suixin Sword, Five Elements Magic Mirror, Boundless Killing Domain, Five Yin Thunder Beads, and it was dangerous that he saved his life.
This battle made him extremely tired.
After resisting Du Cheng's self-destruction storm, he couldn't hold on and fainted.
Fortunately, before he fell into a coma, he managed to put away all the treasures and entered the Xuanyue Space.
Otherwise, the place where he and Du Cheng fought was only ten thousand miles away from the place where the Sui Xin Sword was promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure. Du Cheng's self-detonation of the Nascent Soul Storm would inevitably attract a large number of fusion stage masters who went to watch the strange phenomena of heaven and earth.
He fell into a coma, and with two peerless spiritual treasures, he would be at the mercy of others.
I don't know how long he was in a coma this time.
Lin Mu clearly remembered that after he fought with Du Cheng and Du Xin that night, he had to participate in the first round of the round-robin competition the next day.
Later, he fell into a coma in the Xuanyue Space.
Given his fatigue, he must have been in a coma for more than one day.
In this way, at least he definitely did not participate in the first competition.
Whether he would be absent from the subsequent competitions would only be known after he returned to Lin Ge City.
Whether it was his body or his sea of consciousness, he felt weak. For a moment, he didn't have much to think about, so he immediately returned to Lin Ge City.
In his current state, even if he rushed back to Lin Ge City, he would not have much fighting power.
In the battle with Du Cheng and Du Xin, although he was the last one to survive, Lin Mu did not think that he had won this battle.
Even if he won, it was only a miserable victory.
Lin Mu began to investigate himself.
His cultivation was about to be promoted to the late stage of Return to Void, but now it has slipped to the early stage of Return to Void, a big drop.
The gap here is by no means as easy as the early and late stages seem.
Only he knows the hard work and effort he has to put in.
At least more than half of the cultivators will never be able to reach the Fusion Stage in their lifetime. The biggest reason is that they are stuck in the stage of cultivation. From this, it can be seen how difficult it is to improve their cultivation.
For cultivators in the Fusion Stage, the difference in each small realm is reflected in the huge gap in strength.
Lin Mu wanted to reach the fusion stage, but he didn't want to force his way up by relying on various spiritual medicines and natural treasures.
He felt that he could do it occasionally when he had no choice, but if he kept doing it, his foundation would be unstable and would sooner or later leave hidden dangers.
Therefore, he wanted to rely on his own efforts to slowly practice and polish his foundation. Even though his physical and spiritual realms were already in the late fusion stage, he could have an excellent cave paradise and a much faster cultivation speed than ordinary fusion cultivators. However, if he wanted to improve from the early stage of returning to the void to the late stage of returning to the void, it would take a long time.
Time is wealth, and it is the most precious wealth.
In the battle with Du Cheng and Du Xin, he lost a lot of cultivation, and he needed a lot of time to make up for it. This loss was not small.
In terms of cultivation loss and spiritual consciousness, Lin Mu also felt damaged, which was why he felt extremely tired.
Spiritual consciousness is the foundation of cultivators.
At the beginning, Du Cheng took advantage of his unpreparedness and attacked him with his spiritual consciousness, causing his sea of consciousness to shake. Later, there were repeated fierce battles, and at the same time, he was manipulating so many magic weapons, which was about to exceed the limit of his spiritual consciousness. Moreover, the duration of this battle was quite long. Under the shock and fatigue, his spiritual consciousness was seriously damaged.
If he wants to recover, he also needs a period of rest and recuperation.
In terms of physical strength, he was also seriously injured.
His lower abdomen was directly pierced by Du Cheng's shuttle-shaped treasure, and now he still feels a faint pain.
In Du Cheng's self-explosion storm, the pervasive strong storm also penetrated in, causing some trauma to his physique, but now it seems that it is nothing.
Just his own body was so severely damaged that Lin Mu was worried and hurriedly checked his many magic weapons.
What he was most concerned about was the Sui Xin Sword and the Five Elements Illusion. He was very worried that these two magic weapons would fall from the realm and change from peerless spiritual treasures to spiritual magic weapons.
Lin Mu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after activating his spiritual sense and taking a look.
Fortunately, the two peerless spiritual treasures did not fall in level.
However, the two magic weapons have become dim and their power is almost exhausted.
It takes an extremely long process for spiritual magic weapons to recover their power.
The recovery of peerless spiritual treasures is far beyond that of spiritual magic weapons.
Even though he had the Piaomiao Fairyland, Lin Mu knew that it would take a long time to restore the power of the two peerless spiritual treasures.
This was true for the two peerless spiritual treasures, and the remaining several powerful spiritual treasures were also exhausted. The only exception was the Divine Flying Ring that had been hidden in the sea of consciousness.
It would also take a lot of time to restore these magic treasures.
For Lin Mu, this was not too difficult. After all, he had the Piaomiao Fairyland, and his speed in restoring the power of the peerless spiritual treasures was faster than that of the fusion stage cultivators.
Therefore, although the damage in this battle was heavy, it was not fatal and would not leave any hidden dangers.
As long as he was given a certain amount of time, he would be able to recover as before, and it was very likely that he would be better than before.
However, what should he do in the next mineral vein competition?
Now, whether it is cultivation, physique, or consciousness, it is not as good as before, and the power of the magic treasures has been exhausted.
His strength has not increased but decreased.
How can he defeat the other fifteen cultivators who are much stronger than the previous five rounds of cultivators?
Du Cheng has fallen, but he has lost one opponent, leaving only fourteen.
Lin Mu felt a headache just thinking about it.
But he has come this far and has seen the dawn of becoming the top ten. How can he just give up and quit halfway?
Going forward bravely is the true nature of a man.
It is not his style to retreat when encountering difficulties.
Lin Mu did not think much about it. With a thought, he came out of the Xuanyue Space, sacrificed the dim Sui Xin Sword, and flew towards Lin Ge City.
After the Sui Xin Sword was promoted to a peerless spiritual treasure, Lin Mu's escape speed soared, and the cultivators in the late stage of fusion could hardly catch up with him. But now, the Sui Xin Sword only has the title of a peerless spiritual treasure. After its power is exhausted, its escape speed is not as fast as before.
After experiencing that lightning-fast speed, Lin Mu couldn't adapt to the sudden drop in speed for a while, and felt that the flying sword was as slow as a snail.
He tried his best to circulate his spiritual power and drive the flying sword, but his cultivation level was two levels lower than before, and his speed was always slow.
He flew for a whole day to reach a distance that could have been reached quickly.
One day later, Lin Ge City was in sight.
Lin Mu didn't care about resting, he landed in front of the city gate, put away the Sui Xin Sword, walked into the city, and went directly to Yue Lai Inn.
As he walked along, the cultivators who passed by were all ecstatic when they saw him, and then they were all surprised and talked about him.
"Lin Mu is back!"
"It's really Lin Mu!"
"I didn't expect him to come back!"
"Now we're going to have something interesting to watch!"
"Did you notice that Lin Mu's cultivation has declined? He is only at the early stage of Return to Void!"
A cultivator in the late stage of Return to Void in green clothes shouted as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
Many cultivators came to see Lin Mu after hearing the news of his return. When they heard the cultivator in green clothes shouting, they all went to investigate Lin Mu's cultivation.
Lin Mu heard the shouting and looked back at the cultivator in green clothes. He didn't say anything. After a faint smile, he continued to move forward.
The decline of cultivation is something that will be known to others sooner or later. Even a cultivator in the Return to Void stage can't hide it, let alone a cultivator in the Fusion stage.
But he didn't want to be watched and spied on by everyone like a puppet, so he immediately activated his consciousness to protect himself.
Many consciousnesses that came to investigate were immediately bounced back.
The sea of consciousness was shaking, and many cultivators were shocked. They quickly put away their consciousness and dared not spy again.
"It seems that Lin Mu had a bloody battle with others this time, and his strength has dropped a lot." Some cultivators began to whisper.
"His cultivation was originally at a disadvantage, and now he has fallen directly to the early stage of returning to the void, and his situation is even more unfavorable!"
"The opponent behind him is stronger than before!"
"This is hanging, it will be difficult for him to win another game in the future competition."
"It is estimated that he is ranked at the bottom, not to mention that he missed three games, which is equivalent to three defeats."
"With his cultivation, being able to enter the final round-robin battle has already shocked the entire Jinxiu world. This is an unprecedented achievement. Even if he loses all the future competitions, it will not damage his glory."
Lin Mu did not deliberately listen, but the discussions of the cultivators along the way kept pouring into his ears.
He did not have any fluctuations in his mind.
The only thing that felt a little bad was that he actually missed three competitions!
After each competition, there will be three days of rest. Missing three competitions means that he was in a coma for almost ten days!
Fortunately, he woke up in time.
If he was in a coma for another half a month, all the previous efforts would be in vain.
Even now, the situation is not optimistic.
Missing three competitions is equivalent to losing three games in a row. If he wants to enter the top ten, he must win as much as possible in the following competitions!
However, the top sixteen cultivators are almost all in the late stage of fusion, and some are close to the peak of fusion. Now his strength has dropped significantly, and it is too difficult to win.
At least there are several cultivators that he was not sure to defeat in his prime, and now his hope is even slimmer.
He can fight with other cultivators besides these cultivators.
What he is most worried about is.
If he defeats all the remaining cultivators, can he be in the top ten?
