Emperor of the North Chapter 11

Chapter 11 - Surviving a Disaster

These dried up vines were all acc.u.mulated over the past four years by Li Mu, and were all specially treated by him. They were tied together piece by piece, forming a long cord that even he himself did not know how long it was.

"Sigh, if I, Li Mu, am lucky enough to survive this, I will remember this place for the rest of my life. I will definitely return one day."

Li Mu let out a deep sigh. He cut down a large bundle of fresh Herba Corydalis Sinensis, and in the end, carried the vine on his back and prepared to leave.

"Mu Xiaozi, you seem to have forgotten something!"

Just as Li Mu was about to turn around and leave, Luan Tian suddenly spoke out.

"Forgot to take things? "What is it?"

Li Mu suspiciously swept his eyes over the familiar cave. Other than the Herba Corydalis Sinensis that were reduced by more than half, there were no other objects here.

Zhan Qianqiu's dagger was tied to his waist, his clothes which obviously did not fit him at all were also worn, and the heliogram fragment was placed close to him, so he had a feeling that the two corpses had long been buried, and he couldn't think of anything else he had not taken out.

"It's carved with the Great Brahma Art and the Three Unique of Buddha!" The Heavenly Dao.

"Such a large stone tablet isn't necessarily enough for you to let me carry you and leave this place. I don't want to accidentally fall off a 100,000 foot cliff and die in the process!"

Looking at the heavy slabs, Li Mu rolled his eyes.

"That's true. What a pity, my soul power is limited, if not I could have kept it within the heliogram fragment."

Luan Tian regretfully sighed.

"The heliogram fragment can even take things in?"

Li Mu said in disbelief.

"What do you know, kid? This heliogram fragment is an amazing divine object. Although it is only a fragment, its mysteries are not something you can imagine. A small ability like spatial storage is naturally not a problem."

Luan Tian said in a somewhat haughty manner.

"Spatial storage?" It sounds quite desirable, but what a pity, what a pity. "

Li Mu sighed softly.

"Hehe, boy, your knowledge is too little. When you reach the sacred art realm and form your Yuan Dan, you will be able to come into contact with that level and discover that many of the things you know will be completely overturned. A spatial storage treasure may be relatively precious in the eyes of those at that level, but it is not something that is impossible to obtain."

"Divine Abilities Realm? "I say, Chaotic Sky, you think too highly of me. I've already expended so much effort to cultivate to the middle Houtian realm, and I still don't know how long it will be before I reach the divine ability realm. I think it's best to first think of how to deal with these stone tablets."

Li Mu was already used to Luan Tian's high sight, so he did not linger on it much longer. Instead, he looked at the stone tablet with the Great Brahma Art carved on it with a helpless expression.

It's such a pity, if only there were any Nether Soul Fruits, Profound Yin Vines and other spirit medicines that could help me replenish my soul power, if not, taking such a small stone slab would not be so troublesome, Mu Xiaozi, I think if you can't take them with you, then remember to destroy them all!

Luan Tian suggested.

"Destroy?" "Looks like this is the only option. There's no need for me to remember all of it. I have already memorized all the contents of the letter. It's just that it feels like I have to pluck some fruits and cut some trees to get rid of them."

Looking at the stone tablet in front of him, Li Mu sighed.

"Boom!"

With Li Mu's current physical strength, the stone tablet naturally could not withstand it and instantly turned into fine powder. After finishing all of this, Li Mu turned and walked into the dim and dim tunnel, and did not look back.

Not long after, Li Mu once again returned to the cave that he had been dragged into when he fell into the cliff. At the exit of the cave, there was still a greyish patch.

In these four years, Li Mu had explored this cave more than once. Even though it was connected to every corner, Li Mu had still only found this entrance.

"Luan Tian, how far can your Spiritual Awareness cover?"

As Li Mu looked at the exit in front of him, he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.

With my current soul power, if I spread it out without thinking of the consequences, there wouldn't be any problem covering a five kilometer radius, but the fog here has the ability to weaken Spiritual Awareness and has a huge impact on it. I can only sense things within a hundred meters.

He put away his arrogant tone, which was rarely seen, and became serious.

"A hundred meters? It's just barely enough! "

Li Mu activated the Great Brahma Art, forcing himself to calm down. The Great Brahma Art was a supreme cultivation technique in the Buddhist Sect, other than allowing cultivators to have dense and powerful Quintessential Essence, it was also extremely useful in healing injuries and calming one's mind.

Calming himself down, Li Mu tied one end of the Herba Corydalis Sinensis to a relatively st.u.r.dy stone bamboo shoot within the cave. After testing his strength and feeling that it was still relatively st.u.r.dy, Li Mu intentionally chopped off a bundle of fresh Herba Corydalis Sinensis and tied the other end of the stone bamboo shoot to the cave, then threw it off the cliff.

The large bundle of Herba Corydalis Sinensis was not light, and as soon as he threw it out of the cave, it very quickly pulled the long cord straight. Seeing this, Li Mu took a deep breath and followed the long cord's body to slide down the cliff.

Li Mu tightly gripped the long cord and slowly descended. What made Li Mu secretly feel relieved was that he did not encounter any kind of violent wind or other air currents, and everything seemed to be especially smooth.

After descending roughly three to four hundred meters, Li Mu felt that the gray mist in front of him had dimmed quite a bit, and his line of sight had become a little clearer.

Li Mu was overjoyed. If the mist's density was reduced, it meant that it was not very far from the ground.

"Be careful! There's a strong current of air coming towards us! "

Just as Li Mu was feeling lucky, Luan Tian suddenly reminded him.

Just as Luan Tian finished speaking, Li Mu felt his body becoming lighter, and his entire body was swept up by an invisible air current, as if his body was not affected by gravity at all.

Li Mu's heart turned cold. As expected, the thing he was most worried about had appeared. Through his observations for the past four years, he had long noticed that at the bottom of Setting Sun Summit, there would often be strange airflows without any warning.

These unfathomable airflows were incredibly powerful, and together with the dense fog, it could be said that the birds were in a bad mood. The eagles were in a difficult position, and were in extreme danger.

Seeing that he was unable to escape from the tornado, Li Mu could only grip onto the Herba Corydalis Sinensis in his hands tightly. This was his only hope of survival.

Li Mu's body was like a reed in the wind, swaying chaotically in the air. This was only because Li Mu's strength was strong, the Herba Corydalis Sinensis s were abnormally tenacious, and if there was only one between the two, Li Mu would have already fallen off the cliff and died.

Suddenly, the airflow changed its direction, and brought Li Mu flying towards the cliff face.

"Mu Xiaozi! Be careful, this Qi flow is extremely strange and hard to guard against, the change in direction has no warning, under the huge impact, if you are unable to resolve it, even if you manage to reach the third form of Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations, you will be smashed into meat paste! "

Ye Zichen reminded her anxiously.

Hearing that, the True Essence in Li Mu's body started to circulate as if his life depended on it and at the same time, the dark golden light around his body started to revolve, the Heavenly Demon Nine Transformations started to revolve to the extreme, he quickly a.s.sumed a strange position, and just as he finished doing all this, his body had already crashed onto the stone wall.

"Bam!" With a m.u.f.fled sound, just as Li Mu was about to collide with the cliff wall, he stomped his right foot hard and stomped against it. Borrowing the strength of this stomp, his body shot out in a bizarre fashion towards the right.

There was only a deep footprint left on the wall.

"My G.o.d, he can survive even like this, as expected of the so-called river crossing step that can cross the river in one step! "Kid, it seems like you have escaped death."

Luan Tian heaved a sigh of relief.

Hanging in the air, Li Mu's cold sweat flowed down nonstop. Although he had just barely avoided a calamity in one go and completed it in one go, he had actually been quite lucky.

"This is the first time I've encountered this sort of energy flow. I wonder if something like this will happen again."

Li Mu was still in shock. Looking at the bottomless gray fog below, his heart felt heavy.

He continued to slide downwards following the Herba Corydalis Sinensis. This time, Li Mu was lucky as he fell down more than a kilometer, in one breath. There was no change in the air.

"Luan Tian!" The fog is getting fainter and fainter. It seems like it's not too far from the ground. "

Li Mu said in a slightly better mood as he looked at the fog that had mostly dissipated.

"Logically speaking, my Spiritual Awareness's range is also getting wider and wider. Right now, I can completely cover the five hundred meter range with my Spiritual Awareness.

His vigilance was reduced by a small half, but he did not completely relax.

"I hope the rest of the journey will be smooth sailing too."

Li Mu continued to slide downwards with an extremely fast speed. He was as nimble and nimble as an ape.

"This is bad!" It was as if that strange stream of air had arrived again! d.a.m.n it, these streams of air were created out of thin air, but I am completely unable to sense their formation! "

Suddenly, Luan Tian sent another urgent message.

Hearing that, Li Mu's face turned extremely pale, his two hands held onto the Herba Corydalis Sinensis tightly as he prepared to deal with it at any moment.

"Phew …"

Strong gales swept out, a large part of the gray fog was pulled over by the invisible airflow, forming a gigantic gray vortex that was forty to fifty meters long.

"We're finished. Even if a divine ability expert were to be caught in this attack, it would still have to end this. Why is this place so strange?"

Seeing the gray vortex that was not far from him and was rolling towards him, Li Mu was stunned in midair.

"Could it be that I, as a commoner, am truly so unfortunate? I finally got the chance to see the light of day again, but I'm actually so unlucky."

The sky was filled with the wails and howls of agony. The arrogance he had when he first saw Li Mu was no longer there.

"What should we do, hoodlum?"

Li Mu anxiously continued to slide downwards, but no matter how fast he was, his speed was not as fast as the gray vortex. However, in the blink of an eye, the gray vortex was already less than fifty meters away from him.

"Anyway, it's just death. Quickly release your hand and jump in. Who knows, a miracle might happen!"

He gritted his teeth and pointed out an impossible solution.

"Isn't that still falling to death? Forget it. Jumping up is better than being swept up into the sky!"

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, but immediately came to a decision. He let go of the Herba Corydalis Sinensis and jumped off the cliff.

The sound of the wind was ear-piercing as Li Mu felt his body quickly falling. With this leap, he naturally avoided the danger of being caught by the gray vortex, but his body and mind were already covered by death.

After a while, Li Mu discovered that the air in front of him had become fresh, the gray fog was completely gone, but he was not happy at all, because he had seen the ground below.

"BOOM!"

A huge boulder fell into the water and Li Mu fell to the ground like a cannonball, splashing countless mud everywhere.

"It's a swamp, it's a quagmire! Hahahaha, Mu Xiaozi, you are really lucky, to not die even like this! "Hahahaha …"

Yun Che's voice resounded in Li Mu's ears. Li Mu, who had not regained his senses for a long time, looked around and heaved a sigh of relief.
