Mu Chen stayed at the bottom of the lake for half a day. He waited until the crowd outside the lake had dispersed before he quietly emerged. He scanned his surroundings and after confirming that Su Ling 'Er had indeed left, he let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm afraid I can't stay here any longer."
Mu Chen helplessly shook his head. Although he managed to take care of Su Ling 'Er today, he had angered her completely. When she regained her senses, she would probably go berserk. If that happened and she came back to kill him, Mu Chen would have a headache.
Furthermore, Mu Chen had already completed his Spiritual Energy Fusion training. There was no point in continuing to stay in the lake to train. He needed to find another training spot and prepare to break through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage!
As the opponents that he encountered became more and more powerful, Mu Chen was able to sense the massive difference between a Spirit Stage and a Heavenly Fusion Stage. If it wasn't for the various strange techniques that he possessed, it would have been impossible for him to defeat these powerful opponents.
Even so, he faintly felt that his strength was lacking. Therefore, he needed to break through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage as well. That way, he would have an easier time fighting against other Heavenly Fusion Stage opponents.
If Mu Chen was at the Heavenly Fusion Stage, he wouldn't need to use such a method to force Su Ling 'Er away. Although it wouldn't be easy to defeat her, it would be extremely difficult for her to gain the upper hand against him, even with the Middle Rank Spiritual Weapon in her hand.
Therefore, breaking through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage was imperative.
Thinking of this, Mu Chen didn't delay any longer. His figure moved and flew out of the lake. Then, he headed straight towards the depths of the Spirit Gathering Array. He needed to find another quiet training spot.
The reason why Su Ling 'Er had come looking for him previously was because he had exposed his whereabouts.
Therefore, with this lesson in mind, Mu Chen became a lot more careful. He tried his best to avoid the figures that were shuttling back and forth. Instead, he specifically headed towards the secluded mountain forest.
After about half an hour of selection, Mu Chen finally chose a place to cultivate. It was a lonely peak hidden in a mountain range. The lonely peak was not conspicuous among the mountains, and the pine trees on the mountain swayed with the wind.
Mu Chen's silhouette landed on the lone peak.
This place could be considered to be relatively close to the depths of the Spirit Convergence Array. Thus, the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth was exceptionally dense. From time to time, a spiritual mist would appear in the sky.
It made one feel refreshed and happy.
Mu Chen sized up the lone peak for a moment before blasting open a cave on the precipitous cliff and entering it. After tidying up a little, he sat down cross-legged.
Mu Chen sat cross-legged.
His expression gradually turned serious. He knew that breaking through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage was not an easy task, even if he had already prepared for it.
Hu.
A clump of white mist was slowly exhaled from Mu Chen's mouth.
He closed his eyes bit by bit, and spiritual power surged around him.
At this moment, he gradually calmed down.
Mu Chen did not directly attempt to break through to the Heavenly Fusion Stage because he knew that it would be useless. He was already at the peak of the Spirit Stage, and he only needed a little bit of opportunity to take that step.
But sometimes, this little bit of opportunity was needed.
However, it was able to mercilessly block people outside the door.
He calmed down his state of mind bit by bit, causing his state of mind to be as calm as a quiet pond. At the same time, he quietly circulated the Great Pagoda Art and absorbed the dense Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Within his aura sea, Mu Chen's Spirit was sitting on top of the Spiritual Energy Light Wheel. An Ran was also sitting cross-legged. Her small hands formed a cultivation seal, and her small face was solemn. The so-called Heavenly Fusion Stage was to fuse with the Heaven and Earth. However, this fusion was not fusing with the Heaven and Earth, but with the Spirit.
Only when the Spirit broke through the shackles of the physical body and fused with the Heaven and Earth, would one be able to mobilize the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth and become a true Heavenly Fusion Stage powerhouse.
Mu Chen's Spirit gradually calmed down and gradually entered a state of selflessness. Some of his consciousness floated within his body, but every time this consciousness tried to rush out, it would be obstructed.
However, facing this obstruction, Mu Chen was not anxious at all. Instead, he calmed his state of mind and allowed his consciousness to quietly float. He did not deliberately seek the feeling of breaking through the shackles.
He knew that only when that feeling arrived would he be able to naturally break through. Otherwise, no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless.
Right now, he did not need to be anxious. All he needed to do was to quietly wait.
While Mu Chen was immersed in his state of cultivation, searching for the strange feeling of breaking through the shackles, Su Ling 'er flew back and angrily returned to the small island at the center of the lake. She pushed open the door and entered. She did not pay any attention to the gentle girl who was looking at her with a strange gaze. She angrily stomped up the stairs and rushed into her room. She rolled around on her small bed and constantly hammered the bed with her small hands.
"Bastard!
Bastard!
Bastard! "
Su Ling 'er's charming face, which was hidden under the blanket, was incomparably red. She gritted her teeth and continuously scolded him. There was still pain coming from her small butt, causing her entire body to feel a little hot.
She never expected that Mu Chen would actually dare to go so far!
"Bastard, I won't forgive you!"
Su Ling 'er gritted her teeth. Her appearance was like a little she-wolf, as if she could not wait to tear Mu Chen into pieces.
"Who won't forgive?"
A gentle laughter came from the side. Su Ling 'er hurriedly lifted the blanket, only to see Su Xuan standing beside her with a smile on her face, looking at her.
"No, nothing."
Su Ling 'er's charming face was fiery red as she hurriedly said. She did not dare to say that she was pressed down and spanked by Mu Chen. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing!
"Weren't you looking for the freshman called Mu Chen?
Why?
Did you find him? "Su Xuan smiled.
"No, I didn't find him." Su Ling 'er repeatedly shook her head. Although she was gritting her teeth so hard that they were about to break, she still had to preserve her face.
Su Xuan looked at Su Ling 'er and felt a little strange. In the past, Su Ling' er was always talking about how to find trouble with Mu Chen. Today, she was much more well-behaved.
"What's wrong?"
Su Xuan suddenly noticed that Su Ling 'er's posture was a little strange. The young lady's delicate body was slanted, and her clothes outlined her graceful curves. However, no matter how she looked at it, it seemed a little unnatural.
Su Ling 'er hurriedly sat up, and her small butt fell onto the bed. Instantly, a sharp pain came, causing her to tear up. However, she quickly held back her tears.
She gritted her teeth and cursed Mu Chen half to death.
"If you have any problems, come and find me."
Su Xuan was a little surprised by Su Ling 'er's actions. However, she did not think too much about it. Her jade-like hand rubbed Su Ling' er's head and said somewhat helplessly. Towards this younger sister of hers, Su Xuan still pampered her.
"I know. Hurry up and leave. I will solve my own problems. Isn't that what you said, sister?" Su Ling 'er pouted.
Su Xuan could only shake her head.
Then he left the room.
Seeing that Su Xuan had left, Su Ling 'er covered her butt and buried her face in the blanket, rolling back and forth.
Indistinctly, there was an indignant sound of gnashing teeth.
"Mu Chen, I won't let you off!"
Su Ling 'er seemed to be extremely resentful. When she finally calmed down on the second day, she immediately entered the Spirit Gathering Array with killing intent and headed straight for the lake.
But when she got there, she found that the lake was empty, and Mu Chen was nowhere to be seen.
"Bastard!
Bastard! "
Su Ling 'er stomped her feet in anger. She had made ample preparations today. Not only did she bring the Fiery Dragon Spiritual Whip, she also brought another valuable Middle Grade Spiritual Weapon.
He was prepared to capture Mu Chen and exact his revenge, but he didn't expect that cunning guy.
He actually ran away.
"Ahhh, I don't believe you can hide forever!"
Su Ling 'er angrily waved her jade-like hands, causing huge waves to form on the surface of the lake. After that, a few students who were cultivating in the lake were shaken to the point that their vision blurred. However, when they saw that it was Su Ling' er, they immediately retreated.
He immediately shrunk his neck, not daring to speak.
Su Ling 'er ignored them.
Her beautiful eyes swept the surroundings, and then she flashed towards a certain direction. From the looks of it, she really didn't intend to stop until she captured Mu Chen.
While Su Ling 'er was furiously searching for Mu Chen, the latter was quietly cultivating in the mountain cave. Mu Chen's body did not move at all, and even his breathing had become extremely weak. At a glance, he seemed like a severely injured person. However, if one were to carefully sense it, one would be able to sense that under his skin, there was a vigorous life force that was as exuberant as the scorching sun.
Mu Chen was constantly comprehending the miraculous feeling of breaking through the shackles. Everything in the outside world seemed to be blocked by him, and the current him was completely immersed in his cultivation state.
Time quietly passed under Mu Chen's quiet cultivation. In the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed.
During this month, Mu Chen was practically immersed in his cultivation state at all times, activating his Spirit, and comprehending the world, in an attempt to break through the shackles of his Spirit.
As he immersed himself in his cultivation state, the results were gradually revealed. His consciousness floated within his body, and occasionally, he would be able to break through the shackles of his Spirit. The miraculous feeling of breaking through continuously rippled within Mu Chen's heart, allowing him to savor the experience.
When this feeling reached a certain level, Mu Chen, who was in the mountain cave, finally opened his eyes slowly. Within his pitch-black pupils, there seemed to be a trace of profoundness.
He gently flicked away the thin layer of dust that covered his clothes, and a faint spiritual light was emitted from the top of his head. Within this spiritual light, a palm-sized Spirit slowly rose, and sat on top of Mu Chen's head.
When this Spirit appeared, Mu Chen's body suddenly trembled. The world in front of him seemed to have started to change, and it was a feeling of familiarity from unfamiliarity.
If the world was said to be unfamiliar to Mu Chen in the past, then right now, there seemed to be an extremely miraculous connection between him and the world.
Mu Chen seemed to have comprehended something, and his hands formed a seal. At the top of his head, the Spirit also formed a similar seal.
Rumble!
In the sky above the mountain peak, countless amounts of Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth suddenly crazily surged over. It was like countless rivers whizzing past, and directly rushed into the mountain cave. In the end, it flowed into the body of Mu Chen, who was quietly sitting cross-legged.
At this moment, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around his body started to crazily surge!
This degree, compared to the past, was much, much more powerful!
This was a completely new level!
(Today, there will be at least four, and I will fight for fifth place.
After writing this chapter, it's already 2.30 AM. I came out to look at the monthly votes. Among the top ten, our monthly votes actually increased the least.
This is really a little helpless.
I've really been working hard. After rushing back from Beijing, I didn't have a good rest before I started to work hard to update. Until now, I haven't been lazy at all.
Therefore, I hope that everyone can support me. When I write, seeing the monthly votes increase will give me a little more motivation.
Thank you.
Seeking monthly votes! ~!!!!!)
