Chapter 11 - Surviving a Disaster
These dried up vines were all accumulated 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 sturdy stone bamboo shoot within the cave. After testing his strength and feeling that it was still relatively sturdy, 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.
