Chapter 387: Chapter 258 Harvest_3 Chapter 387: Chapter 258 Harvest_3 “Who?!”
“Qiankun?
Is it him?”
In an instant,
the closest presence to Chen Mu suddenly retracted and vanished, then sped away into the distance.
The fluctuations spreading along the Earthly Swamp and Earth’s Veins cald down in the blink of an eye.
Although the vast majority of people had never t Chen Mu face-to-face, the surging Power of Heaven and Earth, accompanied by the torrential aura of Qiankun Artistic Conception, left no doubt.
Across the entire Cold North Path Eleven State, there were but a few who had cultivated to this degree.
Among them, the most likely to appear here was naturally only one—
Seven Profound Sect, twenty-seventh on the Wind Cloud List, Chen Mu!
Even though, back then, many believed Chen Mu’s placent on the twenty-seventh spot of the Wind Cloud List was sowhat exaggerated due to his cultivation only within the Five Viscera Realm at that ti.
...
Now that Chen Mu had stepped into the Six Viscera Realm and his status as a Sect Protector of Seven Profound Sect had spread, such a step solidified his seat on the List without question, his presence unparalleled except by Grandmasters.
Even those from sects like Heavenly Sword Sect and Linjiang Pavilion, the powerful Six Viscera Realm experts comparable to Chu Jingsui, had no interest in eting Chen Mu face-to-face and quickly retreated upon sensing his presence.
Therefore,
In Chen Yue’s eyes, she saw herself and Chen Mu moving unimpeded, striding through the depths of the swamp.
Along the way, they saw many traces of battle but not a single soul, as if everyone had scattered with the wind before Chen Mu’s arrival.
Eventually, Chen Mu led her to the deepest part of this underground swamp, where they finally encountered a figure.
“Protector Chen.”
The figure was a Sect Protector of Seven Profound Sect, Xu Zheng, who stood at the edge of a muddy tarn, turning back to clasp his hands towards Chen Mu with a smile, “Originally, quite a few people wanted to try their luck with this tarn, but as soon as Protector Chen arrived, they all fled with the wind.”
Chen Mu was sowhat unfamiliar with Xu Zheng, having never seen him before, but Chen Yue had t him; she dutifully gave a respectful bow, saying, “Chen Yue pays her respects to Protector Xu.”
Xu Zheng returned the smile to Chen Yue, “Haven’t I told you before, no need for formalities when you see .”
Traditions must not be abandoned.
It wouldn’t do for her to develop an arrogant temperant.
Protector Xu, please don’t spoil her too much.”
Chen Mu responded amicably, and then led Chen Yue a few steps forward, arriving at the edge of the tarn.
With a brief perception, he remarked, “Is there sothing beneath this?”
“There should be, but it can’t be brought up easily.”
Xu Zheng nodded to Chen Mu, explaining, “The Power of the Veins in this tarn is trendously turbulent and chaotic.
I can only dive down about twenty ters, nowhere near the bottom, and the sa goes for everyone else; no one has been able to find anything.”
This place was already seventy or eighty ters under the earth, and they could reach it due to the Earth’s Veins fracturing from seismic activity—otherwise, even those in the Six Viscera Realm would find it difficult to dive so deep.
Diving even deeper was, naturally, an even greater challenge.
Xu Zheng and many other Six Viscera Realm Protectors were lingering here, unwilling to leave.
They were hoping for soone cultivated in the ‘Dui Ze’ or Five Elents ‘Earth Spirit’ lineages to arrive who could dive down; then, they would have a chance to claim a share of the spoils.
But unexpectedly,
Before any such experts from the Dui Ze lineage could arrive, ca Chen Mu, a high-ranking figure on the Wind Cloud List.
All at once, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, knowing that even if Chen Mu could dive down, snatching Spiritual Objects from him would be nothing short of a fantasy, hardly feasible unless by a Grandmaster.
Chen Mu stood at the edge of the tarn, first sensing the condition within, and then with a step, his entire figure subrged into the tarn, diving deeper and deeper.
As Xu Zheng had ntioned,
The deeper one went, the more chaotic the Power of the Veins beca in the tarn, making it difficult for even a high-tier Six Viscera Realm expert to dive past twenty ters.
But the current Chen Mu was far from ordinary among those of the Six Viscera Realm.
In terms of Yuan Gang True Essence, he was almost on par with Grandmasters.
As for the power of Artistic Conception, he had control over Qiankun, mastered the elents, and could thus use the Dui Ze swamp to his advantage.
Twenty ters,
Thirty ters,
Forty ters,
…
Continuing to dive nearly fifty ters, Chen Mu finally felt that he had reached the bottom of the tarn.
Although he could continue to delve deeper with his thods, there was no need.
Not far ahead, he could sense an unusual flow of Earth’s Veins.
Walking a few steps forward, and though sightless in the deep tarn, he could clearly discern what lay at the bottom.
“Is this…
hm, this thing?”
Chen Mu slowly reached in and pulled a murky-colored stone from the depths of the swamp.
As he held the tainted stone in his hand, the surrounding fiercely flowing mud started to calm down, the chaotic Power of the Veins beca pacified, and the entire swamp gradually showed signs of solidifying.
Without lingering, Chen Mu,
Pressed off with the soles of his feet, shooting up like a fish, and in a mont, he erged from the tarn, returning above.
“How did it go?”
Xu Zheng looked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu nodded slightly to Xu Zheng, “There was so gain.”
“That’s good to hear,”
Xu Zheng laughed, not prying further, and said, “If you had not co, the Earth’s Veins would have closed soon enough.
It was your fortune…
Well, while there’s still ti, I will go look around elsewhere.”
With those words, he clasped hands toward Chen Mu and set off towards the distance, soon disappearing into the caverns.
Chen Yue was then looking at Chen Mu with a hint of curiosity.
But she didn’t ask what Chen Mu had found.
More astonishing to her than Chen Mu’s find was how he had subrged into the swamp mire.
After a trip down and up, not a speck of filth clung to his clothing, which remained as clean as before.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Chen Mu gestured to Chen Yue with a slight nod, then took her hand and set off, not continuing their exploration.
They returned to the surface unwaveringly.
