I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

Underground at the edge of the camp.

The once blood-vessel-like network of crimson vines that spread throughout the underground had now become dry and decayed, turning to ash with the slightest touch.

"Lan Zhang has indeed left the Hai Character Camp," Chen Mu sighed with relief.

Previously, the underground sky was completely controlled by Lan Zhang, and the entire Hai Character Camp was like a prison.

After Lan Zhang presumably left the camp, he immediately decided to break away from the Hai Character Camp.

He didn’t plan to go too far away. Just three to five miles southeast of the camp, he found a location, expertly dug out a secret chamber, set up a small trinity Light Law Prohibition, and then slipped back into Thousand Lanterns City.

"I went to inquire, and the nether soldier camps on the north side of the camp are now empty," Shi Dechun said excitedly. "It seems that General Lan has indeed left the Hai Character Camp."

"More than a hundred thousand nether soldiers gone without a trace?" Chen Mu frowned.

"Apart from the chiefs of the flags in the Auxiliary Soldier Camp, the actual combat power of the nether soldiers has vanished," nodded Shi Dechun.

Thinking of a possibility, Chen Mu felt his heart leap.

"Those nether soldiers must have been devoured and refined by Lan Zhang," Shen Yan said with an ugly expression. "Damn that Lan Zhang!"

"Fortunately, we’re just some useless auxiliary soldiers, otherwise..." Shi Dechun patted his chest, his face filled with the expression of one who had narrowly escaped disaster.

Swallowing over a hundred thousand nether soldiers just to refine his Skill?

This General Lan is really mad!

Chen Mu couldn’t help but be shocked.

"What’s the situation in the camp?"

"All the generals have ordered to guard the camp closely. Although there are no changes, I always feel there is a tense atmosphere," Shi Dechun frowned.

"You’re not wrong in your feeling," Shen Yan coldly sneered. "The functions of the Auxiliary Soldiers’ departments are different, but the strength of the generals’ nether soldiers is quite similar. With no tiger in the mountains, the monkeys play king. It looks to me like each of them is ready to vie for leadership!"

He had been a Military Supervisor for over a hundred years, and was very experienced. Just by hearing Shi Dechun’s few words, he understood the situation in the camp.

"Would it be possible to unite all nether soldiers if the Military Supervisor got involved?" asked Shi Dechun.

Chen Mu chuckled and shook his head, "He lost the Ghost Gate, and his Netherworld Department was wiped out by Lan Zhang. The other generals of the Auxiliary Soldiers Camp are of similar strength to him, how could they possibly bow their heads to his command."

Shen Yan looked uncomfortable but had no rebuttal.

"Jockeying for power and profit, tsk tsk, even as yin spirits, the eternal theme of humanity does not change."

"Let’s just wait and see. When the situation becomes clear, then we’ll make a plan," Chen Mu wasn’t in a hurry at all.

The quota for returning to the Yang Realm from Fengdu City indeed might require great merit. But the merits of Antiquity City might not necessarily count in Fengdu City. The specifics would only be known once he reached Fengdu City. He wouldn’t let Shen Yan’s words coax him into charging blindly into battle.

"And you?" Chen Mu looked at Shen Yan with a cheerful smile, "You should just keep tumbling over."

Shen Yan’s expression suddenly stagnated.

…

This wait lasted for half a month.

The Hai Character Camp, missing its nether soldier generals, was indeed a scene of turmoil, with the generals of the Auxiliary Soldiers forming alliances and displaying their Divine Skills.

Since Shi Dechun had left the camp with him, it wasn’t good for him to return. Fortunately, with Lan Zhang and a large number of nether soldiers gone, Chen Mu wasn’t afraid of being discovered. He slipped out into Thousand Lanterns City every day when he could find the time, using the Truthful Listening Technique to eavesdrop with keen ears.

The first to be unlucky was the Military Provision Department. Being in possession of supplies, it was the first to be attacked and carved up by the Auxiliary Soldiers.

The Cai Yuan Department was the second to be unlucky.

Eighty percent of the Cai Yuan Department’s population consisted of new yin spirits that could only cast the Dew Harvesting Spell. But now that the Ghost Gate was lost and the Cursing Method ineffective, these yin spirits became redundant burdens capable only of eating, left to fend for themselves at the edge of the camp, unattended and forgotten.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!" Shen Yan’s face turned ugly as he listened to the live report, cursing three times a day: "This is Nether Demon Heaven, if demons were to attack, such disarray would surely lead to death!"

"Lan Zhang is still not dead, an endless threat, a bunch of fools knows only to fight amongst themselves!"

Chen Mu gave Shen Yan a sidelong glance.

"Are you cursing them, or are you hinting at me?"

"I have Thousand Lanterns City, and I’ve already escaped the Hai Character Camp’s prison. Whether Lan Zhang returns or a demon attacks, I’m not afraid."

"Don’t you want to go back to the Netherworld?" Shen Yan stopped pretending and started to incite Chen Mu to take charge again.

"Don’t I still have you?" Chen Mu said cheerfully.

This guy was a Military Supervisor, experienced and knowledgeable, so he must know the way back to the Netherworld. As long as he held on to this guy, Chen Mu wasn’t worried about finding a way back.

Shen Yan’s face immediately turned unpleasant.

"I do know other methods, but it would require setting up an altar for a demon blood sacrifice, which is time-consuming and laborious, far less convenient than gathering yin spirit divine power for Teleportation."

"Heh! I knew you had other methods," Chen Mu’s lips curved into a grin.

"The blood sacrifice to the Netherworld is time-consuming and strenuous, while gathering yin spirits is the best option. Did you listen carefully?" Shen Yan’s face turned red with exasperation.

Chen Mu, however, simply smiled without speaking.

From the moment he captured this old ghost, Shen Yan had been scheming daily, and Chen Mu felt that Shen Yan had no good intentions.

He viewed any suggestion from Shen Yan with suspicion, and without being completely sure, he would not make a move.

Ignoring Shen Yan’s noisy complaints, Chen Mu’s thoughts moved slightly as he brought Shi Dechun and himself back to Thousand Lanterns City.

Although he still wanted to continue eavesdropping on the lively camp, reality did not permit it, as the blood-red sun of Nether Demon Heaven could stir up the fighting desire within his heart.

With the Ghost Gate taken by Lan Zhang and the Divine Concealing Mist dissipated, even the function of the Ghost Face Copper Medal was reducing, he dared not stay outside for too long.

...

Several days later, Chen Mu returned to Thousand Lanterns City after enjoying the lively scene as usual, to farm experience.

Instinctively casting the Three Paths Curse, an unusual feeling surged within his heart.

Previously, when connecting with the River of Oblivion, the link of the Three Paths Curse was as delicate as cotton candy floss, fragile and easily broken with the slightest carelessness. Now, however, the link was like a strand of hair, still delicate but extremely tough.

He immediately pulled up the grey wall and discovered that the Three Paths Curse had indeed been practiced to its peak.

"Another Skill has reached its limit, how refreshing!" A sense of achievement immediately filled Chen Mu’s heart. Explore more stories with

As the Three Paths Curse operated, it was like digging a small tributary beside a river channel, attracting a continuous flow from the source of the River of Oblivion to the front of his body.

Once the flow reached a stable state, Chen Mu’s thoughts shifted, and the power of the Safe Heart Sutra slowly emerged.

It acted like a net, placed in the middle of this tributary of the River of Oblivion. Fine strands of weak water power were captured and continuously flowed into the secret aperture between his eyebrows; the True Form of Heavenly Demon immediately transmitted bursts of contentment.

After a good while, the source power drawn by the Three Paths Curse dissipated, and the effect of the Safe Heart Sutra greatly reduced. Chen Mu was about to activate the Three Paths Curse again, when suddenly a familiar rhythmic throbbing came from the secret aperture between his eyebrows.

He immediately rejoiced and entered his room to release the True Form of Heavenly Demon for inspection.

As expected, the ghost pattern, which resembled a network of blood vessels and nerves spread throughout the body, glowed brilliantly with specks of special power emerging. Then it began moving upward from the soles of his feet, the specks gradually converging into lines, entering into the divine fetus at the top of his head and disappearing from view.

The next moment.

Hum!

The divine fetus suddenly burst forth with bright white light, instantly illuminating the dim room.

"Another thread of divine fetus power has been cultivated; double happiness strikes!" Chen Mu happily removed the divine fetus and examined it closely, as a surge of epiphany suddenly burst into his heart.

Chen Mu’s mind stirred.

Specks of light, like fluorescent powder, flew out from the divine fetus, resembling a flock of birds in the sky or a team of fireflies, gathering and scattering from time to time, encircling the divine fetus in a leisurely circular flight.

A rush of fragmented insights poured into his brain, and Chen Mu’s eyes involuntarily widened.

"Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed? What the hell?!"

"Is this divine fetus going to give birth to offspring?"

...

"Has the divine fetus undergone any changes?" Shen Yan really didn’t want to bother with Chen Mu. But...

He was at the mercy of others.

"The River of Oblivion contains countless Divine Spirit Mechanisms."

"These Spirit Mechanisms bestow innate talents to Yin Spirits, manifested externally as Divine Ghost Patterns."

"But these talents are not complete, at most they are like broken branches. Only after being nourished by the weak water and returning to the source can they transform into a complete seed, which is the divine fetus."

"Some Yin Spirits who were Qi Cultivators in their lifetime like to call the ghost pattern a Talisman Seed and the divine fetus a Yin Divine Path Seed, to indicate that both are fundamental seeds."

"With the seed, the next step is to take root and sprout, that is to cultivate and strengthen the divine fetus into a Yin God."

"As for changes..."

"As the foundation of Yin God, the divine fetus, with its continuous perfection, naturally possesses incredible Divine Power, but most of them enhance the original abilities."

Having said this, Shen Yan suddenly paused, then as if an idea struck him, he showed a shocked face: "You didn’t connect to another cave heaven, did you?"

Connecting to a cave heaven?

That’s not the case.

Thousand Lanterns City came from the True Form of Heavenly Demon devouring Lian Cheng and is not one of his Divine Skills.

If we talk about the inherent ability of the True Form of Heavenly Demon, it would be that shabby Bewitching Divine Power.

Chen Mu’s mind stirred again, and he turned to look at Shi Dechun: "Old Shi, come on, sing a song for everyone to hear."

Shi Dechun was suddenly completely baffled.

"I... I don’t know how to, either."

"It seems your Divine Power can still only control the bodies of Yin Spirits and cannot bewitch the Spirit," Shen Yan said with a light laugh.

He mistook the Yama Emperor’s Command as Chen Mu’s innate Divine Skill.

Chen Mu’s expression darkened; it really was still that lame Divine Power!

"Have you ever heard of Heavenly Demon?" Chen Mu continued to ask, resisting the urge to make the guy do a somersault.

"Heavenly Demon? Ha!"

"What a lame Demon God. I have never heard of it," Shen Yan said with a nonchalant face.

Chen Mu’s eyes narrowed.

It seems this guy wasn’t flipped over enough times!
