Chapter 7: Spirit Embryo Wall

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Ninetales

The devil ape erupted with fury and started chasing after Qin Mu. However after a few steps, it realized that its speed was inferior to Qin Mu’s because of how large it was. Such a humiliation enraged the devil ape. It uprooted tree after tree, running its hand along the length of one and getting rid of its branches before throwing it like an enormous spear.

”Die, young’un!”

The bare tree trunk flew through the air at an astonishing speed, clearly carrying an extraordinary amount of force. However, the ape’s throw wasn’t accurate, so the trunk crashed and landed several yards away from Qin Mu.

The devil ape became even angrier and wanted to throw another tree spear, but Qin Mu had run off into the distance. It no longer had a target to vent its anger on, so all it could do was beat its chest repeatedly.

Senior Brother Qu quietly called out to the other youths. ”That devil brat’s cultivation is definitely inferior to ours, and his injuries must be worse than mine. There’s no way he’ll be able to go far.”

Pushing himself to his feet, he grunted as intense pain wracked his chest. He was afraid that many of his ribs had been broken by the devil ape’s strike. However, he believed that if Qin Mu could withstand a blow from the devil ape, he could endure it as well.

He just hadn’t expected Qin Mu to be that strong.

Qin Mu’s cultivation definitely wasn’t weak. His vital qi lacking attributes was the only reason he couldn’t display his full potential.

Despite his young age, if one were to compare their cultivation, Qin Mu certainly wasn’t weaker than any of them... including Senior Brother Qu!

Taking a detour around the devil ape’s territory, the youths eventually found Qin Mu’s trail again. Just as Senior Brother Qu said, Qin Mu had been heavily injured by the devil ape as well, having no choice but to reduce his speed to the point that they could catch up.

However as they continued to chase Qin Mu, they discovered that Qin Mu’s speed gradually increased as if his injuries were no longer an issue.

”This little devil must have some miraculous healing medicine!”

The hearts of all four youths sank. Senior Brother Qu had consumed medicine that their sect had given him but it clearly wasn’t an effective as Qin Mu’s ‘medicine’. Seeing how quickly Qin Mu’s speed had risen, they inferred that his injuries were definitely healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

This kind of medicine made their eyes and hearts burn with greed.

”The medicine in our sect is not of the highest quality. If we manage to catch that devil brat and seize the recipe of that miraculous medicine from him, our masters would definitely be pleased and reward us greatly!”

However, contrary to what they thought, Qin Mu hadn’t consumed any medicine. Instead, he simply inhaled and exhaled as he ran, circulating the so-called Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique that the village chief had taught him, the one that he didn’t know was actually the most common Daoyin Technique.

Cultivating with the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique as he ran for his life, Qin Mu made a new discovery. He realized that his vital qi became more active as he ran. The speed of its circulation became even faster as well!

This was different from what he had been taught. The Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique that the village chief had taught Qin Mu always required him to meditate and control his breathing. Qin Mu had learned to circulate the vital qi and nurture it, using it to condition his body.

Over the course of the last ten years of cultivation, Qin Mu had followed the village chief’s instructions on cultivating the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique to the letter. Now, however, he had discovered that it was better to run while cultivating the technique.

Qin Mu dashed forward as fast as possible, and the circulation of the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique became faster, nurturing and improving both his innate speed and the constitution of his body!

In addition to that, wave after wave of vital qi flowed through Qin Mu’s organs, limbs, bones, and even the tendons between his muscles and bones, cleansing them over and over again.

Qin Mu’s ruptured organs and broken bones, which he’d sustained from the devil ape’s strike, recovered with each cleansing wave of vital qi.

Senior Brother Qu and the others thought that he was relying on a high-quality medicine, yet never would they expected that was just relying on the unreliable Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique.

Qin Mu eventually realized that his vital qi couldn’t reach a certain part of his body—the space right between his eyebrows.

Between his eyebrows was space the width of a finger.

Vital qi could not reach this space. Although his vital qi could pass under his scalp and wash over his skull, cleansing and strengthening both of them, it would come to a stop every time it reached the center of his brow. It was as if there were an invisible wall there, blocking his vital qi from passing through.

Whenever he directed his vital qi to rush the wall, something even stranger occurred.

Qin Mu could hear a mysterious voice.

This voice sounded as if it were coming from high in the sky, as distant as the nine heavens above. It sounded melodious and divine, resonating like the voice of a god passing down a heavenly decree.

Every time this voice resounded, Qin Mu’s vital qi would retreat like an uncontrollable tide and ignore the space between his eyebrows.
