I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

With the Mountain-Carrying Scripture, the search range expanded several-fold, and in the course of three to five days, Thousand Lanterns City gained three to four hundred Yin Spirits.

Chen Mu received them one by one, embedding them into the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed, then transmitted the Three Paths Curse to assist in his own cultivation.

Under the nourishment of a massive amount of weak water, the Divine Fetus became more perfected with each passing day, and its pitted surface began to display a hint of smoothness.

Feeling the continuous surge of Yin Spirit Divine Power, Chen Mu was completely immersed in it all day long.

Of course, he didn’t forget to secretly recite the Jade Gate Curse in the middle of the night. With two bodies, one to rest and the other to cultivate, he was the absolute master of staying up late.

As days passed by, the experience with various skills rapidly improved, it was just a pity that there wasn’t enough Earth Spirit Vital Energy; otherwise, his Divine Orifice would have been achieved long ago given the amount of time that had gone by.

...

That day, on the third-floor balcony of the exquisite small wooden building, Chen Mu lay askew in a rocking chair, circulating the Safe Heart Sutra.

The extraordinarily skilled bricklayer and the crafting techniques of the Crafting Department had helped in the construction, and it took less than two days before Chen Mu had already moved into the small building.

The original courtyard wasn’t wasted either; Chen Mu gave both courtyards to Shen Yan... to continue growing vegetables.

As thoughts fluttered, Chen Mu didn’t stop cultivating.

The silver thread-like pattern from the Safe Heart Sutra, the size of the palm, blossomed with a faint luminescence on his chest, slowly absorbing the Yin Spirit Divine Power, transforming it into an Exotic Force that probed into the energy of the River of Oblivion surrounding the small building.

Like a magnet attracting iron filings, strands of weak water were pulled into his body.

While experiencing the changes in the vitality of the Ghost Pattern, his Spirit suddenly transmitted a familiar throb.

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow and immediately activated the divine skills of Thousand Lanterns City. A seemingly bottomless dark circular shadow appeared in the courtyard, and a haggard-looking ghost soldier, holding a white lantern, emerged alone.

A hundred-man squad only returning with one person, did they encounter an attack from a monster again?

Chen Mu hastily jumped down from the wooden building.

Did they encounter the Yinfeng Sect?

Were the others taken away?

Did someone slip away to come back and report?

It didn’t take long for Chen Mu to figure out the cause, and a smile involuntarily spread across his face.

"Good news!"

...

Two hundred li north of Hai Character Camp, in a certain area of the mountains.

Chen Mu stood on a grey-white rock protruding from the ground, observing a mountain peak twenty li away.

The mountain wasn’t tall, just about the height of thirty-odd floors.

A mighty tree emerged at the peak, its huge canopy resembling a mushroom cap covering the small mountaintop.

Its leaves were lush and crystalline, and the dense, cloud-reaching aerial roots also shimmered with blue luminescence, drawing considerable attention.

"It’s still best to take a detour," Chen Mu admired it for a moment before he shook his head.

Upon learning that the Yinfeng Sect was searching everywhere for auxiliary soldiers, Chen Mu immediately decided to approach the Yinfeng Sect proactively.

He called back all the squads he had sent out and selected over two hundred Yin Spirits to form a team. Then, following the information from the reporting auxiliary soldier, he led them northward.

It had been seven days since they trekked through the mountains, and Chen Mu had come to know the perils within Nether Demon Heaven.

Not to mention the endless strange poisonous insects and plants, the forests were home to mighty monsters akin to great demons. The tree ahead was one of them. When scanned with the Truthful Listening Technique, even from a distance, he could clearly feel its immense vitality.

Chen Mu immediately led his men to turn eastward, planning to bypass the giant tree.

However, as they walked, when he looked up, he found that the tree was, once again, blocking their way straight ahead.

"Something’s not right!" Chen Mu couldn’t help but his face changed.

"We’re not lost," the ghost soldier Bai Qing looked up at the sky, his face serious.

"Can this thing actually move?" Chen Mu felt his scalp tingle. Find adventures on

"Mountain-Carrying!"

Two hundred carefully selected long-standing Yin Spirits immediately transformed into gusts of black wind, converging into a black cloud the size of a basketball court above. Hiding within it, Chen Mu’s eyes were fixed on the giant tree as he flew rapidly towards the east.

Watching the glowing giant tree become smaller and smaller, Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the blink of an eye, the tree suddenly vanished.

Chen Mu was startled, and thinking of a possibility, he immediately turned back.

But to his surprise, the giant tree had already run to the front of their path without notice! They were only five to six hundred meters away, almost running straight into it.

Chen Mu’s face turned pale, and he instinctively urged the Yin Spirit Divine Power.

"Fire Bell!"

Countless balls of ghastly green fire rained down on the giant tree like a shower of fire.

A series of thunderous explosions sounded, and the entire tree was immediately enveloped in ghastly green flames.

The tree writhed as if alive, countless blue-luminescent insects buzzing out from it, flecked with dots of ghastly green flames as they scattered and fled, only to be completely burned into ash and scattered shortly after.

The tree also let out piercing screams as all of its aerial roots and branches flailed, trying to snuff out the flames on its body. It even uprooted itself from the ground, fleeing towards the distance.

Unfortunately, the Fire Bell Secret Technique’s flames were extremely sticky, and no matter how much the tree struggled, it couldn’t rid itself of them. It ran only three to five li before collapsing to the ground, turning into a blazing fireball.

Chen Mu watched coldly for a moment before he spurred the Yin Wind, ready to continue northward.

But just after flying out for ten li, in the blink of an eye, an identical giant tree once again blocked their path.

Chen Mu felt his scalp go numb and his hairs stand on end.

He suddenly turned his head and saw that, unbeknownst to him, the eerie green flames that had covered the hills had vanished without a trace, and the giant tree that could move had also disappeared, as if everything just now was merely an illusion!

...

The sun slanted westward, and its blood-red rays filtered through the leaves, scattering on the gray-white stones. As they moved, they slowly came into Chen Mu’s view.

As if stimulated by the light, his body shuddered, and he abruptly came to his senses.

"Indeed, it’s the Bewitching Divine Realm!" Dread filled Chen Mu’s eyes.

He glanced at the distant giant tree and then at the sun, which was about to set, and a fine cold sweat broke out on his back.

They had discovered the giant tree at noon, and it didn’t seem like much time had passed, but it was already evening!

"Thank goodness I have experience with the Seven Souls Return to Origin Scripture," Chen Mu said with lingering fear.

The experience he had in Jilong Road encountering Snow Demon Qingliu’s Illusion gave him a solution. Although he didn’t have the siblings from Wu Mountain to perform Seven Souls Return to Origin, he had over two hundred Yin Spirits carrying the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed for him to sense collectively.

If one person could be confused, then sensing all Spirit Seeds as one could allow everyone to share the burden together.

At this moment, he connected to the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds within the two hundred plus Yin Spirits. When he looked at the great tree in the distance again, he suddenly noticed its figure flickering and shaking, as if it were a distorted three-dimensional hologram.

As the daylight gradually darkened, the giant tree’s figure suddenly shook, and with a hum, it transformed into a myriad of dancing fireflies that fell into the forest beneath the tree and disappeared without a trace.

"Could it be a bunch of bugs?!" Chen Mu exclaimed in amazement, unable to help himself.

He was about to activate Yin Wind to quickly leave the place.

But a swirl of gray wind appeared on the horizon.

"The Yinfeng Banner!" Bai Qing couldn’t help but exclaim joyfully: "That swirl of gray wind is the Yinfeng Sect’s Yinfeng Banner!"

Chen Mu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

The demons they had encountered previously were fierce, but they were all manageable. However, the illusion of the giant tree today made him feel truly uneasy.

Just moments ago, he was considering hiding in Thousand Lanterns City and waiting for the Yinfeng Sect to come to find people.

Fortunately...

Now he didn’t have to wait.

...

The chasm at Heavenly Mountain had narrow tops and widened bottoms, resembling an upside-down trumpet on the ground.

A swirl of gray wind drilled into the valley bottom, landed on the vast open space, and revealed hundreds of Yin Soldiers wrapped in Yin Wind.

Qiu Zhi, dressed in grey as the base layer and donning a brown leather armor on top, smiled warmly as he led Chen Mu and the others toward the left side of the rocky cliff to prepare for their registration.

"Those bugs, we call them Blue Luminescent Bugs. They have little offensive ability on their own, but when gathered together, they can release the Bewitching Divine Light which can entrance any creature in a mere glance. Once they exhaust one’s spirit, they become their food," he explained.

"You’re the third batch of auxiliary troops I’ve found from that place, but you are also the only ones who actively broke free from the illusion," Qiu Zhi appraised Chen Mu and Bai Qing with a face full of admiration.

"We were startled awake by external forces, just lucky," Chen Mu responded with a visage full of residual horror.

Qiu Zhi nodded, having guessed as much. The number of Blue Luminescent Bugs was immense, so it wasn’t easy to break free from their illusion.

By then, they had already arrived beneath one side of the cliff. In front of a row of more than ten arched cave entrances, numerous Yin Spirits formed a long queue.

"You’re a bit unlucky," Qiu Zhi said with a smile. "Three days ago, our Yinfeng Sect found a large batch of auxiliary troops’ hiding place."

"It’s a natural cave. Although the environment isn’t great and there’s not much food, it’s very safe. Tens of thousands of auxiliary troops from the Cai Yuan Department, Crafting Department, and Flame Moving Division were hiding there."

"After relocating them for several days, these people in front of us are the last batch of troops."

"In the past, it was General Hu who personally greeted everyone, but now with so many people, you probably won’t get to meet him."

Tens of thousands of Yin Spirits? A cave?

Chen Mu suddenly understood.

No wonder he hadn’t found many scattered Yin Spirits, even after expanding his search range.

Taking a look around, Qiu Zhi led the group to the edge of the queue where there were fewer people.

"No matter where you came from before, from now on you will all be incorporated into our Yinfeng Sect," Qiu Zhi said, seeing that everyone was orderly lined up, then approached Chen Mu and Bai Qing again to speak seriously.

"The dangers of Nether Demon Heaven, I suppose, are clearer to you than to me."

"Although we are safe in this narrow chasm, whether we will encounter monster attacks is still an unknown."

"As a part of the Yinfeng Sect, we have to pitch in."

Here it comes, thought Chen Mu. General Hu’s grand efforts to rescue Yin Spirits from the Yinfeng Sect seemed inconsistent with Shen Yan’s description of self-interest.

He must be after something!

Chen Mu’s heart tightened.

Shen Yan said General Hu would likely use blood sacrifice to activate Netherworld Ferry. Could he be planning to use us as sacrifices?

Well... should we slip into Thousand Lanterns City tonight and then immediately haul ass?

"If the Yinfeng Sect shelters us and commands us for help, we will go through fire and water without hesitation," Chen Mu bluffed with the utmost sincerity.

"It’s not that serious," Qiu Zhi said with a relieved smile.

"You just need to learn a cursing method and provide a bit of divine power."

This request... why does it sound so familiar?

Then, he saw Qiu Zhi pull out a black leather scroll from his bosom, and three archaic characters suddenly caught his eye.

Mountain-Carrying Scripture?

Chen Mu’s heart relaxed instantly.

It seems there’s no need to run away for now.
