Chapter 320: Chapter 289: Obstructed_1
Xu Mu was at a loss within the trapped formation.
Although he too had a proficiency in formations, the level of this formation was too high. With his ability, there would not be any chance of breaking it within a few years.
This space would self-destruct soon, not giving him a few years to attempt breaking it.
Nor would the Black YuanYing let him go.
The longer the time, the more dangerous it would be for him.
Just then, Xu Mu thought of the jade simple for the Corpse Puppet Skill he had just obtained.
“I don’t know if this method will work?”
Xu Mu was somewhat hesitant holding the jade simple, but this thread of hesitation was quickly extinguished by him. Now, there was no other way.
Xu Mu’s idea was simple, that was to cultivate the Corpse Puppet Skill, to see whether he could control or sense the surrounding Corpse Puppets through this skill, to find a breakthrough for breaking the formation.
Although such a method was somewhat fanciful, it was not necessarily unfeasible.
“Anyway, it’s just the loss of some Luck Value!”
One couldn’t exactly say it was a loss, the Corpse Puppet Skill was something he had to learn sooner or later anyway.
Having an idea in his heart, Xu Mu began to invest a large amount of Luck Value on the Corpse Puppet Skill immediately.
Corpse Puppet Skill was a tier-ten skill, theoretically, even if Xu Mu kept persisting, he would have to spend half a month to fully integrate it. The huge amount of information and experience cost too much spiritual power.
The only good thing about learning this skill was that it did not consume essence and Qi like the Body Refinement Realm.
However, while he was upgrading, he suddenly found something abnormal. The situation where his mind was hit by a large number of information streams when he had upgraded skills before did not occur. He easily accepted the information.
What was going on?
Xu Mu was stunned for a while, somewhat clueless for a time.
But soon, he figured it out.
It was due to the Sin Refining Pill!
When he was facing the Black YuanYing, he had taken some of the Sin Refining Pills to increase his Soul Power. Now, just after half a day has passed, the power consumed was less than three-tenths.
The information stream produced by upgrading Skills now was completely countered by the Sin Refining Pill.
Xu Mu’s heart could not help but rejoice.
If he had a large quantity of Sin Refining Pills, wouldn’t he be able to upgrade any skill to a transcendent level in a short time?
Such an effect would be of great help to him in the future.
“Let’s talk about future things later, for now let’s prioritize upgrading the Corpse Puppet Skill!”
With the help of the Sin Refining Pill, the upgrade that would originally have taken half a month was completed in less than an hour.
Xu Mu sat cross-legged and began to use the secret techniques within the Corpse Puppet Skill to sense the surroundings. Soon, he caught some barely discernible mental fluctuations.
They were simple, mechanical and filled with pure malice!
“It turns out that this guy is using Corpse Puppets to control the formation. Heaven is helping me!”
By sensing the positions of the Corpse Puppets, Xu Mu had a vague feeling that they were forming a formation and situated at the core of the formation.
If nothing else, the Black YuanYing was making use of the power of the Corpse Puppets to form such a strong formation. Otherwise, based on what he had observed along the way, it would not be possible to form such a powerful formation in such a short time.
If not for this, he would not have rashly barged in.
“The Corpse Puppets have few mixed intentions, they are the best choices to be used as formation flags. It’s my oversight!”
Xu Mu weighed his gains and losses in his heart.
Only now did he remember that the Mystery Yin refining corpse skill he had obtained from the Iron Corpse Door had the method of arranging formations with corpses.
The Black YuanYing was likely to have deliberately scattered the formation of the Corpse Puppets to lure him in. He originally intended to launch a surprise attack but was seen through by Xu Mu and then used the formation to trap him.
Fortunately, this formation did not have much offensive power, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy now.
