Chapter 399 Planning, Preparation and Departure
"The plan can't keep up with the changes..."
Feeling the surge in his spirit, Chu Mu exhaled a long breath, but there was not much joy on his face.
The perfection of foundation building was something that could have been expected long ago.
According to his original plan, he would naturally practice step by step while ensuring the foundation and avoiding the poison of the elixir.
In this way, breaking through to the late stage of foundation building would be a natural process, and there would be no bottlenecks.
This also means that after breaking through the perfection of foundation building, he can almost seamlessly connect and prepare to form the elixir!
Instead of forcing a breakthrough to the perfection of foundation building regardless of the poison of the elixir, as is the case now.
Forcing a breakthrough and a natural process are two completely different concepts.
The appearance of a bottleneck means that his practice in the current realm is not perfect.
Just like his previous experiments, either the spirit of the spirit is mottled and impure due to the poison of the elixir, or the spirit of the spirit is mixed with other attributes due to the spiritual root qualification.
In such a mottled and impure situation, he still forced to break through the bottleneck, which obviously means that this mottled impurity will still exist in his spirit even after the foundation is perfected.
If it cannot be tempered and removed in time to stabilize the foundation, then this mottled impurity will inevitably affect the breakthrough of the Dan after the foundation is perfected.
If it cannot be removed, it will naturally be a vicious cycle, until the end, completely blocking the immortal path!
If he did not have the sword intent to temper his spirit, he would not have the courage to eat the pills as candy.
In other words, without the sword intent, he would not have been able to have such a cultivation level now. After all, his cultivation level is all built up by the pills.
Even if it is a vicious cycle, it has already stopped.
"It will take about two years..."
Chu Mu slightly sensed the remaining pill poison in his body, and a rough guess was made during the circulation of the sword intent.
Two years, if there is no interference from external affairs, should be enough for him to completely eliminate the pill poison.
The only problem is that due to taking a large amount of pills in a short period of time, his mana is weak, and he needs to practice the Kongming Sword Sutra to polish and temper it.
He raised his hand and a projection floated. It seems that just as Xu Ning said, it is not easy to open the space door to the secret realm.
A year passed, and there was no movement.
Then, he raised his hand and a few voice transmissions floated above the formation that separated the inside and the outside.
The voice transmissions were all from the major forces in the city, inviting each other to go to sea, requesting to refine weapons, or being recruited by the Chen family cultivators in disguise.
After a brief review, Chu Mu put these voice transmissions behind his mind.
If the matter of the true demon cannot be passed smoothly, then everything is false.
If it can be passed smoothly as he thought, it will be a great blessing.
By then, if the golden elixir is achieved, there will be no trouble in this Chixia City.
Chu Mu raised his hand and wiped it, and a Divine Shadow Pill appeared at his fingertips. After a moment of hesitation, he swallowed the pill directly.
The pill entered his stomach, and as the medicinal power appeared, Chu Mu felt an invisible pressure coming down. Under this pressure, his cultivation seemed to be suppressed, and the changes were visible to the naked eye.
Foundation Perfection, late foundation, middle foundation... until the early stage of Qi training, this pressure came to stop.
Then, Chu Mu's mind moved slightly, and his cultivation, which was originally in the early stage of Qi training, slowly increased again, from the early stage of Qi training, middle stage of Qi training, late stage of Qi training, until Qi training was complete, it was completely stable.
"Interesting..."
After a little experiment, Chu Mu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The effect of this pill was not the simulation he expected, but a kind of... adjustable suppression!
Just like now, he was suppressed to the cultivation of Qi training perfection, and the cultivation he could use was only Qi training perfection.
If one wants to use a cultivation level that exceeds the perfect Qi training, then one can only remove this suppression or break it.
Chu Mu silently experienced the effect of the Divine Shadow Pill. Under the "Spiritual Brilliance Blessing", the medicinal effect changed, all of which were sensed.
At the same time, one thought after another was also flowing in his mind. Finally, Chu Mu's eyes were fixed on the recipe of the "Heaven-Deceiving Pill".
If he remembered correctly, there were quite a few second-level monsters in the secret realm.
The secret realm has restrictions on the cultivation of foreign cultivators, and its rules are unclear, but... there should be no restrictions on the monsters in the secret realm, at least in the second-level category...
And the effect of this "Heaven-Deceiving Pill"...
Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly. With the "Divine Shadow Pill" being able to sneak into the secret realm, can the "Heaven-Deceiving Pill" also sneak into the secret realm?
Thinking of this, Chu Mu suddenly stood up, pacing back and forth, and one plan after another appeared in his mind.
After about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly stopped, and then took a step and went straight out of the Zhenjie Pavilion.
In just over an hour, he led dozens of monsters back to the backyard.
In the following days, with the sudden appearance of the True Demon, Chu Mu's life became rare and comfortable.
He kept all the trivial matters caused by the turmoil in the vast sea outside the Zhenjie Pavilion in the name of seclusion.
Taking advantage of the time when the True Demon had not returned, he also made preparations for the trip to the secret realm in an orderly manner.
In the experiment of improving the Qi Tian Dan recipe, a large number of puppet instruments were refined as the trump card for the trip to the secret realm. In his spare time, he practiced the Kongming Sword Sutra, polished his spirit, tempered and eliminated the poison of the pill, and prepared for the formation of the pill.
For the sake of the great demon-sealing formation, he even made an exception and began to learn about formations. With the help of the connections of the Zhenjie Pavilion, he collected a large number of formation books.
With the foundation of the art of refining, and the terrifying learning and comprehension ability under the "spiritual light blessing" thinking and wisdom leap, his understanding of the formation is also changing with each passing day.
Time flies, and in this intense and orderly practice, nearly two years have passed in a blink of an eye.
However, in the past two years, under new and old hatreds, the turmoil brought to the Hanhai Xiuxian world by the Xuanshe clan is still continuing.
The outer sea defined by the Hanhai Xiuxian world has long become a restricted area for cultivators. Even the near sea has completely lost its previous peace under years of turmoil.
Even though most of the countless monsters that poured into the inner sea from the outer sea were blocked by the Chen family, the Hanhai has a special terrain, and the boundless sea area is hundreds of miles deep, and monsters can hide almost everywhere.
Even if only a small part of it flows out, it is enough to completely disrupt the originally peaceful inland sea!
Although Chixia City is the core center of the vast sea cultivation world, it is naturally difficult to avoid the impact of the turmoil under such turmoil.
In this Chixia port, the hustle and bustle of the past has almost been cut in half. Ordinary ships sailing on the sea are almost extinct. Even if there are flying boats, they are basically some large flying boats with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Moreover, these flying boats are mostly the official flying boats of the Chen family that transport supplies for cultivators.
The scene of cultivators from all sides gathering in the past is no longer seen.
The entire Chixia Island has completely turned into a logistics camp, radiating the vast sea and supplying the logistics of this large-scale war.
Today, in Chixia North Port, there is a rather exquisite small flying boat. Under those huge flying boats that almost cover the sky, the existence of the small flying boat is undoubtedly extremely inconsistent.
Although Chixia's control was strict, this small flying boat left the port without any hindrance.
At the bow of the flying boat, Chu Mu was still wearing the same green clothes. In the cabin, Xu Ning and Li Xiu sat upright. The young man was still in a trance and "stupid". Two years had passed, and there was not much change.
The flying boat seemed to be aimless. It was about ten thousand miles out of Chixia and then wandered back and forth in this sea area.
In fact, it was indeed so.
The voice transmission of the real demon did not specify the gathering place, but only told them to wait in this sea area.
In this sea area, the real demon had not arrived yet, so it was naturally aimless.
Chu Mu leaned against the bow boredly. Compared with the previous uneasiness, he was extremely calm at this moment.
This calmness was not only superficial, but also came from the heart.
For several years, he had made all the preparations he could for this trip to the secret realm, and planned everything that might happen.
With such preparations, no matter how worried or nervous he was, it was meaningless.
At some point, Chu Mu felt the boat suddenly shake, and then there was a figure on the deck.
"Senior!"
"Senior!"
Chu Mu bowed, and the three people in the cabin stood up quickly.
The man looked at the still somewhat foolish boy, and then turned to look at Chu Mu who bowed beside him:
"Are you ready, young friend?"
"Reporting to the senior, the Shenying Pill has been refined, and one furnace of Shenying Pill has produced six pills."
Chu Mu took out a jade bottle and handed it to the man respectfully.
The man took the jade bottle, raised his hand and wiped it, and five Shenying Pills floated. He looked at it and nodded repeatedly: "The pills are bright in color and have a restrained effect. Not bad, not bad. My friend's reputation as a master of both pills and weapons is well-deserved!"
"Have you tried the effect of this medicine?"
"This is a record of my trial of the effect of the medicine. The aura of cultivation is engraved with Tianhen Stone Powder. Please take a look, senior."
Chu Mu took out the jade slip, and his mind moved slightly. The record of him taking the Shenying Pill in the retreat room appeared.
The man looked at it for a few times, and his eyes were more satisfied. He looked at Chu Mu with a little more appreciation: "My friend is really experienced in doing things. It seems that I have found the right person to help you this time."
Chu Mu was speechless and forced a smile.
"I have found the weak point of the secret realm. When we reach the destination, we can open the space door to enter the secret realm."
"There is one thing you must remember. The secret realm has an owner. Although there are no cultivators in it for the time being, the core of the secret realm has long been controlled by the Daheng royal family. After entering the secret realm, remember not to cause trouble and reunite with me in time!"
Chu Mu was puzzled: "Senior, don't you enter the secret realm with us?"
"Daheng has evil ambitions and intends to move the secret realm to the space where Daheng is located. Now the secret realm is moving outside the domain every moment. Under the disorder of space, even if you open the space door, it will be a thousand miles away from the slightest mistake..."
