Chapter 420: A Different Method (1/2)

After hearing the explanation given by Senior Xukong, Lin Mu finally understood the level of trouble that had been caused. Though now he wondered, what Gu Yao was up to.

”What happened to Gu Yao now senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Hmm… I do not know, but the mental strain I put on him should be enough for about three days. I think he probably woke up two days ago.” Xukong estimated.

”Three days ago? Wait! If he was unconscious all this time, doesn't that mean we could have attacked him then?” Lin Mu asked, feeling as if they had lost a great opportunity.

”No… not exactly. Even if he was unconscious, he had already made the entire city his servant by then. After the Supreme elder and the peak master Yi Deng were controlled, the rest of them were a child play for him. It seemed like it was only those two who were causing him to take such a long time.

The weaker cultivators were controlled rather quickly after that. Because of this, even if you tried to attack him, the others would have stopped you. The Human Controlling Blood Curse that Gu Yao used is a rather sinister technique.” Xukong explained.

”I see… Senior.” Lin Mu replied.

”Well, now that you're already here at the cave, I assume you've checked out the condition of the great slumber beast? Is it weakened yet?” Xukong questioned.

Lin Mu shook his head and spoke, ”seems like we underestimated its ability. Not only has it expelled the invader from its body, it has also recovered its cultivation base up to the peak stage of the core condensation realm.”

”So it really did… I had hoped that it would take longer but seems like we have no option now.” Xukong said.

”What do we do now senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”You won't be able to refine the bloodline of the Great Slumber bear with your current cultivation base,” Xukong said.

”Then you mean…” Lin Mu said before being interrupted.

”Yes, you'll have to break through to the Core condensation realm,” Xukong confirmed.

”But that would take more time, and won't the great slumber beast only get more strong till then?” Lin Mu asked with concern.

”Just because you need to be at the core condensation realm to refine the bloodline doesn't mean that you can't kill it.” Xukong said.

Lin Mu understood what he was saying and nodded his head.

”My body is going to fully become a Xiantian physique too.” Lin mu informed.

”Oh, it is? That's good… Wait!” Xukong suddenly said.

”What's the problem, Senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”There may be another way to approach this. If you obtain the Xiantian physique, your body will be strong enough to use that method,” Xukong said.

”Are you suggesting a different method than what we practiced, Senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes. This one is a rather crude method and isn't used that much. But the advantage of this method is that you can directly assimilate the bloodline while also increasing your cultivation base.” Xukong informed.
