Chapter 79

Before breaking through, Chen Mu took out the skill card recording the "Green Origin One-Qi Technique" and used it.

Within a few breaths, he mastered this Xiantian cultivation technique and realized how to sense the world.

Subsequently, he took out all the internal energy cards, using four to five at a time, to generate energy within his body, pushing the "Cloud-Rolling Technique" to run and enlarge the cyclone.

The cyclone, which had only a wisp remaining, rapidly grew stronger under the reinforcement of the newly generated internal energy.

When all the internal energy cards were used up, the cyclone expanded to fill the entire dantian space.

Whoosh~ whoosh~~

Chen Mu sat cross-legged and motionless; faintly, he seemed to hear the sound of the vortex spinning.

Maintaining the cyclone, self-spinning.

A breath of primordial energy slowly condensed and formed, surrounding his entire body.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

In the sky, a light rain suddenly began to fall.

Chen Mu stood up, felt the flow of the wind, walked into the mountains for a while, and entered a cave.

"Roar~!"

A beast's roar rang out from the cave.

Chen Mu looked up and saw an adult black bear walking out fiercely from the depths.

"Roar!!"

The black bear opened its mouth and roared, slapping the ground with its paws in a threatening manner.

It felt a threat from Chen Mu and did not approach, only trying to drive him away.

Chen Mu's hand flickered, and an iron-wrought bow and an arrow appeared.

"Roar..."

Shoo!

The wind-breaking sound rang out, and the black bear's roar came to an abrupt end.

The fired arrow accurately hit the black bear's head, half of the arrow shaft sinking in, and it died on the spot.

Throughout the entire process, not a single trace of Chen Mu's aura leaked out.

Putting away the iron-wrought bow, Chen Mu stepped forward, grabbed one of the black bear's arms with one hand, moved the corpse outside the cave, more than a hundred meters away from the cave, cut off the bear paws, and dug out the bear gall, storing them in his palm space.

Returning to the cave, he tidied up a bit, sat cross-legged on the ground, and watched the forest under the curtain of rain.

In his dantian space, the cyclone formed by a large amount of internal energy was stably self-spinning.

One day, two days, three days...

For three full days, the cyclone remained stable and did not dissipate even a little.

The time had come!

"Whoosh~"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mu took out the Xiantian Pill and the true qi card, held them in his hand, and then stopped the operation of the "Cloud-Rolling Technique," switching to the "Green Origin One-Qi Technique"!

As soon as the Xiantian cultivation technique began to run, the cyclone in the dantian space was pulled by an invisible force, spinning, tempering, and compressing rapidly!

Chen Mu's brain became clear, his consciousness seeming to detach from his body to sense the external world.

The world outside his body was vast and boundless.

Wisps of the power of heaven and earth floated about, as if they were there and yet not.

It seemed to be right before his eyes, yet also at the edge of the sky.

It felt as if he could touch it if he reached out, but when he truly reached out, what he touched was only emptiness.

Contacting the world—he was just a hair's breadth away!

Realizing this, Chen Mu decisively swallowed the Xiantian Pill.

The pill entered his abdomen, first turning into a mass of warm energy; immediately after, the warmth turned into coolness, starting from his abdomen and traveling all the way up to his brain, making his spirit and consciousness instantly invigorated and active.

In that moment of agility, Chen Mu felt something in his heart, his consciousness connected to the outside world, and he touched a wisp of the power of heaven and earth!

Hum hum~

His body trembled, his mind swayed.

Sitting cross-legged and motionless, he ran the "Green Origin One-Qi Technique" over and over again.

A quarter of an hour later, his body and mind returned to calm, and the medicinal effect of the Xiantian Pill was exhausted at the right time.

Maintaining the "Green Origin One-Qi Technique" without stopping, the wisp of heaven and earth power he had touched was pulled into his body, arrived at the dantian space, and merged into the cyclone.

Swish~

The true qi card was used, and a formidable power, purer, thicker, richer, and more solid than internal energy, was born out of thin air, wrapping around the cyclone.

The "Green Origin One-Qi Technique" ran continuously, pushing the violently spinning cyclone to repeatedly compress and temper it.

The transformation from internal energy to true qi!

Swish~ swish~

In the dantian space, day and night without stopping, the range covered by the cyclone became smaller and smaller, and the transformation into substance became faster and faster.

Driven by the existing true qi, a brand-new true qi was rapidly born.

Finally, accompanied by a crisp sound, the cyclone disappeared, and true qi was formed!

The moment it formed, the true qi exploded, turning into pure energy, centered on the dantian, and spread throughout his entire body. These overflowing energies easily pulled in the still-connected power of heaven and earth, unfolding a metamorphosis for his body.

A metamorphosis from head to toe, from inside to outside.

An invisible aura slowly swirled around Chen Mu.

When all the metamorphosis stopped, Chen Mu had completed the transformation from Houtian to Xiantian.

It was done!

In his dantian, the new true qi swirled quietly.

His body, sitting cross-legged and motionless, slowly lifted three feet off the ground, hovering in mid-air.

Xiantian realm!

He had successfully stepped into it on his first breakthrough!

Wuji Ridge.

"Big Brother, that thief hasn't appeared for four days; he should have left already."

The burly fourth leader wiped his whiskers and said in a muffled voice, "I think the brothers who evacuated the stronghold can be called back."

"Wait a little longer," Zhou Shaoyou said calmly.

"Ah, still waiting?" The fourth leader sighed, "What if the thief never appears? Are we just going to keep waiting like this?"

"Wait another three days," Zhou Shaoyou said indifferently, his expression unchanged.

"Wait another three days?" The fourth leader wiped his whiskers and sighed, "Fine, three days it is. I'm going for a walk outside; it's stuffy staying in this room."

Saying this, he shook his head and walked toward the door.

Shoo!

A flash of cold light shot in from outside the door at almost the same time.

The speed was so fast that the fourth leader was hit just as he noticed it. With a "pfft," blood sprayed from his chest, and his burly body stiffened for an instant before falling straight backward.

Bang~

With a dull thud, dust flew up.

The fourth leader opened his eyes in astonishment, dying with his eyes wide open.

[Corpse discovered, do you wish to loot?]

"Yes!"

Under a tree more than ninety meters away, Chen Mu held his iron-wrought bow and looted a card from a distance.

An internal energy card for over five months.

At the Xiantian realm, the looting range had expanded again, reaching one hundred meters!

After promoting to Xiantian, Chen Mu had originally wanted to return to the prefecture city, but thinking that half of the bandits were still in Wuji Ridge, he immediately changed his mind and returned here.

As a result, he wandered around the forest for a long time without seeing a single bandit.

Until he "heard" the fourth leader's words through "Wind-Listening."

The remaining half of the bandits had been scared off by him last time and had evacuated Wuji Ridge.

With one arrow killing the fourth leader, there were only two people left in this vast mountain forest.

Chen Mu!

The head leader, Zhou Shaoyou!

"You finally came."

In the wooden house, Zhou Shaoyou slowly stood up, walked to the door step by step, his calm eyes crossing dozens of meters, and his cold gaze locked onto Chen Mu.

Shoo~

Chen Mu drew his bow and nocked an arrow, firing it.

He fired ten arrows at once.

Shoo~ shoo~ shoo~

"Boom!"

Zhou Shaoyou raised his hand and struck out with a palm; the palm wind whistled, a cold aura swept through, and with a dull thud, all the arrows were shattered.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo~

Chen Mu did not stop, firing ten more arrows.

Zhou Shaoyou gave a cold shout, raised his hand, and the palm wind whistled, breaking all the arrows.

Shoo shoo shoo~

A large number of arrows continued to swarm out.

"Is that all you've got?"

Zhou Shaoyou sneered, raised his hand, and struck out with a palm, defeating all the arrows.

But the moment the arrows broke, a strange sound of something breaking through the air at extreme speed suddenly rang out.

Whoosh!

Cold light burst forth, arriving in an instant, reflecting in Zhou Shaoyou's contracting pupils!
