Chapter 7 - Chaotic Devil King

After carefully reading the complete volume of the river crossing step, Li Mu's face darkened. According to the records, the river crossing step's profound mysteries were top-notch, and it was said that when cultivated to the extreme, one could cross mountains and rivers.

But what made Li Mu depressed was that in order to practice this technique, there was a limit to his cultivation. The minimum requirement would be to be in the middle stages of the Elementary Realm.

Li Mu had even looked over the palm of great sorrow and dragon claw hand once, but what made him even more speechless was that the two martial skills, dragon claw hand, were still fine, and he could barely use it at the late stage of the Houtian realm. However, the palm of great sorrow was clearly indicated that one could not touch it unless he was an Innate Ranker, otherwise, a backlash of true essence would cause his life to be in danger.

Li Mu frowned. Even though he believed that his innate talent was not bad, he needed a short period of time to break through to the middle Lesser Heaven stage. Without the assistance of the pellets and crystal, it was impossible.

It was not that Li Mu thought too little of himself, he had already reached the Innate Realm at the age of twelve, and was already considered extremely talented, but after entering the Innate Realm, although talent was important, more importantly, there were cultivation techniques and the accumulation of time.

A Houtian realm martial artist's advancement was greatly related to the true essence in their body. As the true essence continued to circulate in their body, the meridians would become thicker and thicker, and their blood and energy would become more and more exuberant. Thus, their true essence would become thicker and purer.

When a martial artist's true essence accumulated to a certain limit, they would advance to the next stage. But, this process was a process of massive accumulation.

”Without the help of pills and crystal, it would take me at least a few years to reach the middle stage of the Houtian realm, and who knows how many months it would take to reach the late Houtian realm.”

Li Mu muttered to himself. After entering the Pre-Sky Realm, it was not easy to raise one's cultivation base by training hard. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to not be many Innate Rankers in the huge Sunset City.

At this moment, Li Mu was a little homesick, at home, he did not need to worry about anything, he only needed to focus on training, although the pellets were of ordinary low levelled pellets, but at least the quantity was sufficient, as for the legendary crystal, he believed that his strict father would also get them for him.

crystal s were also a type of cultivation resource like medicinal pills, they were different from medicinal pills that were produced from harvesting spirit herbs. crystal s were birthed from the extremely dense heaven and earth origin energy in the mountain range and the earth vein, which contained an extremely pure origin energy, as long as one reached the Lesser Heaven stage, they could absorb the origin energy inside it and use it to cultivate.

As a young master of the direct line of descent of the Li Family, Li Mu had seen rare crystal s, they were divided into the top, middle, and lower ranks, and their shape was a rhombus-shaped crystal. Very few of them circulated on the market, and their exchange price was ten thousand silvers for a low level crystal, even though it was still priceless.

There was even less of a need to talk about middle ranked crystal. A middle ranked crystal could be exchanged for a hundred low ranked crystal.

After thinking about it, Li Mu finally focused his gaze onto the dead vines on the ground. He had a bold idea, which was to link all the vines together to make long cord and leave this place through the vines. However, the only thing he was worried about was how high up this cave was.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been accidentally dragged in. One must know that if a person's body was sucked into a cave, the strength of the airflow could be imagined. If he were to encounter another airflow in the process of descending, he would be in danger of falling off the cliff if he wasn't careful.

This was also the reason why Li Mu wanted to learn river crossing step first. river crossing step was a top tier movement technique, although it could not allow him to fly like the Divine Abilities Realm Experts, it could still help him in dodging and moving.

”Hee hee, boy, are you thinking about how to leave this place?”

Just as Li Mu was at a loss of what to do, a low and deep voice suddenly sounded out by his ear.

”Who is it!?” Is it man or ghost! ”

Suddenly hearing someone speak, Li Mu's hairs stood up, he grabbed the Zhan Qianqiu in his hands tightly and looked around in shock.

There was no one alive other than him, only two skeletons that had been dead for who knows how many years. Looking at the two skeletons on the ground, Li Mu subconsciously thought of the legendary ghosts.

”Tsk tsk …” Ghost? You actually dare to compare This King with ghosts. If it wasn't for This King being in a good mood today and me helping you out, you would have died from poison by now! ”

The mysterious sound continued to ring out. From the tone, it seemed that the person was in quite a good mood.

”Saved me? Could it be that the poison in my body was cured by you? May I know who you are?

Li Mu looked around nervously. From the way the other party said it, he did not seem to be like a ghost, but even so, he did not dare to relax his guard. After all, the other party had appeared too strangely.

There's no need to be so nervous. This King is not interested in killing you, but seeing that you've had such a good opportunity and you've actually come to this damned place, it's been a thousand years since anyone has come here. This King thought that there would never be another living person in his life.

This time, Li Mu concentrated his spirit sense to feel it clearly, the voice actually came from inside the blood-stained rag that he threw to the side along with his clothes.

”Senior, could you be staying inside that blood-stained rag?”

Li Mu asked tentatively.

”Eh? You actually found out, that's right, I am indeed inside the heliogram fragment, but you actually dare call this thing a rag. If those old bastards outside find out, they might throw you into the fecal pit to choke you to death. ”

Seeing that Li Mu had discovered his hiding place so quickly, the other party was surprised.

”Senior … You actually stayed in that shitty place … Inside the heliogram fragment, how was this possible? How can there be people in there? ”
