Chapter 36

【List of Techniques of the Boundless Venerable】

1、Ten Thousand Swords：

Consuming energy, transform the weapon in your hand into multiple sword lights (based on skill level, each level can conjure two layers of sword light); each use will generate additional energy consumption according to the number of sword lights, and cannot be continuously released in a short time (based on skill level reducing cooldown time, each level reduces one second).

2、Piercing the Sun：

Consuming energy, emit a piercing-sun light from the weapon in hand causing massive damage (based on skill level, each level increases damage by 50%); the initial blast radius is fixed at 2×2, and the blast radius expands with skill level (based on skill level increasing blast radius, each level increases by 50%).

「……」Mu Yi, having finished looking at the Boundless Venerable's two schools' basic techniques, showed a hint of a pained expression on his face.

How to put it, any ability is powerful, but it doesn't suit him; this is completely a mobile turret role, maybe later he could become a sword immortal or something.

But it is completely unsuitable for Mu Yi; Mu Yi's current foundation is all invested in melee, choosing this would undoubtedly mean switching sects.

Which of the two paths is better remains unknown, but abandoning existing power to pursue unknown power is simply foolish.

Mu Yi sighed; although white robes fluttering and waving a hand to control a sword to kill from a thousand miles away is cool, it doesn't suit him!

Mu Yi is not someone who madly pursues power; otherwise he would have already pushed his career level to the limit.

The reason he now pursues power is not because he was swept into the center of a vortex and forced to seek power to face unknown variables.

If it weren't for the dungeon limiting career level advancement, he would have already raised his level; pursuing the power of Elite Talent is far more reliable than chasing these deity statue techniques.

Moreover, the blue souls required to exchange for these techniques are costly, and Mu Yi currently doesn't have that many blue souls on hand.

After a sleepless night, Mu Yi led the group that had taken a brief rest onto the southbound road.

From Lin Jie, Mu Yi learned that the Warm Snow began erupting from the Forbidden City, the giant white lotus located within the Forbidden City, but the Court did not relocate from the Forbidden City; instead, it gathered large numbers of troops stationed around the Forbidden City, seemingly guarding against something.

After the Court mobilized troops, the snowflakes in the air seemed to become denser; the Rebellion Army originally had plans to migrate south, but upon encountering the struggle between the Court and the White Lotus Sect, they temporarily abandoned migration, intending to fish in troubled waters.

Unfortunately, they didn't catch any fish, and instead ended up being dragged into the water.

According to the Rebellion Army's observations over the years, the farther from the Forbidden City, the lesser the harm from Warm Snow.

The group consists of young and strong individuals; their speed is not slow.

However, just after Mu Yi and company had traveled south for three to five days, Mu Yi noticed many creatures in the darkness stirring, eyeing them, the air thick with malice.

"Trouble, are those beasts? Or people from the White Lotus Sect?"

Mu Yi felt some concern; beneath the white snow, few wild beasts could survive, most turning into walking corpses like the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Such creatures constantly tailing them are definitely not normal beings.

Night fell, the moon shrouded in a sheet of dark clouds, the whole world sinking into a hazy gloom.

Mu Yi heard a faint rustling sound.

Borrowing a sliver of moonlight through the dark clouds, Mu Yi seemed to see a thick, long tail flash by, looking somewhat like a rat.

"These beasts came pretty quickly!"

Mu Yi finally confirmed the enemy's identity: they belong to the Gray Family rat lineage, one of the Five Great Immortals.

Mu Yi gestured to Lin Jie, then left the crowd alone; the Rebellion Army's remnants are now more like a burden to him—once fighting starts, they'd not only be useless but also a liability.

So Mu Yi directly called out to Lin Jie to protect everyone, then headed alone into the wilderness; these remnants of the Rebellion Army still have value and must not be wasted here.

Mu Yi clearly sensed that after he left the crowd, those unknown creatures swarmed toward him.

"Afraid of battle formation power? Perhaps you could learn battle formations from these guys?" Mu Yi narrowed his eyes.

A thin black mist silently enveloped Mu Yi; without the Zongwang Prompt, he would have been unable to detect it in the dark environment.

"Zongwang Prompt: You have entered a plague environment, currently conducting an environmental check……"

"Check passed, you are immune to this environment's negative effects, you temporarily ignore the adverse influence of this environment."

Mu Yi looked at the information refreshing on his retina, put on his gas mask; last time the weasel used a fart attack, this time the mouse is using a virus attack, right?

Even if they are enshrined as household immortals, these beasts' methods still haven't escaped the realm of beasts.

"Can you move in the shadows without making a sound?"

Mu Yi felt a shadow slowly approaching from behind him, pretended not to notice, continually scanning the environment ahead, seemingly intending to find the enemy hidden in the darkness.

"I've already seen you, get out here quick!"

Hearing Mu Yi's words, the rat demon's movement stalled, but seeing Mu Yi still looking left and right, he laughed.

"Humans are indeed cunning, actually wanting to blow me up!"

With the excitement of seeing through Mu Yi's outward strength but inner weakness, the rat demon approached him bit by bit from the shadows; having mastered shadow power, they are natural assassins in the darkness.

When the rat demon leapt out from the shadows.

"Time Confusion!"

Mu Yi activated Time Acceleration; before the rat demon could react, he thrust the formation dagger in his hand toward it.

"Pfft!"

The scarlet Inner Qi shimmering on the formation dagger allowed it to pierce straight through the rat demon's body, as if through thick cowhide.

"Found you!"

Mu Yi watched the large rat he had directly nailed to the ground, his face showing a delighted expression.

Fortunately, the Fierce Mark refreshes its duration after each kill; otherwise he today might not be able to handle this big gray rat.

【Gray Rat Demon, Challenge Level 7+】

Looking at the information given by Zongwang, Mu Yi knew that this large gray rat pinned to the ground before him is stronger than the weasel demon he encountered last time.

However, like the weasel demon, it was caught off guard by Time Confusion.

Time-based abilities are always the most useful; using them for a first-encounter kill couldn't be better.

"Farewell! Give my regards to that dead weasel!"

Mu Yi fiercely poured all his Inner Qi into the formation dagger; a burst of blinding light erupted from the dagger.

In the dim environment, this suddenly bursting thunderlight was like the sun, making it impossible to look directly at.
