Chapter 276: Meeting Mengli in the Second Life and Joining the Pantheon of Demons (1)
[This simulation has ended.]
[Rating: E-]
[Dungeon Completion: 8%]
[Points obtained: 300]
[Remarks: Danger often appears when one is relaxed]
[Hint: The completion rate is less than 90%. This dungeon is not completed. You cannot leave.]
..
After the first life ended, Su Mu returned to the standby space, and a familiar voice rang out in his mind.
“8%?Was this dungeon world that complicated?”
After seeing the dungeon completion rate, Su Mu was a bit surprised.
It seemed that this dungeon world was more complicated than he had imagined, but he did not have to think about it for the time being.
An urgent problem stood in front of Su Mu, and that was the Heavenly Court!
His death in his previous life had exceeded Su Mu’s expectations.
The monkey demon’s Connate cultivation was not a threat to him.
Even after killing a large number of villagers and devouring their flesh and blood, he was still no match for Su Mu.
What really killed Su Mu was the abnormality in his body!
Su Mu was suddenly unable to move at the crucial moment of the battle.
This wasn’t the monkey demon’s ability and had nothing to do with the outside world.
Not even Martial God Realm experts would be able to imprison a great demon that was close to the Great Circle of the Zongshi realm.
The reason why Su Mu was frozen was because he had lost control of the demonic energy in his body!
In other words, this was his own problem.
However, he had been hiding in a very deep place, so he did not discover it.
Thinking of the changes in the monkey demon and Xiong Shan, Su Mu couldn’t help but suspect that Heavenly Court had done something to him!
But how did he do it? Where did he do it?
For the first question, Su Mu had no answer. He didn’t know how Heavenly Court did it.
However, he already knew the answer to the second question.
It was a nameless mountain!
This place where Su Mu was born and trained, there was a huge problem!
The nameless mountain was the place where Bear Mountain conferred his title. His cultivation speed would be faster there, and his strength would also be stronger.
After subduing Xiong Shan, Su Mu also tried to find the reason.
However, he didn’t know much about things other than cultivation. For example, he didn’t have a deep understanding of arrays and alchemy.
Thus, nothing strange happened to Su Mu and he could only leave it at that.
It wasn’t until he died in his previous life that Su Mu realized that there was a huge problem with that nameless mountain!
Moreover, it didn’t just affect Xiong Shan, who was a mountain god.
Every demon who cultivated on the nameless mountain would be affected.
Su Mu must have been eroded bit by bit during his cultivation.
Moreover, as his cultivation increased, the erosion of the aura would become more serious!
In other words, no matter what choice Su Mu made in the face of Heavenly Court’s invitation, his fate would not change.
After cultivating on the nameless mountain for more than ten years, he could no longer escape the fate of being a puppet!
In the last life, the people of Heavenly Court did not destroy Su Mu’s demon body, but his soul.
It was likely that he would refine his demon body into a puppet and become a hatchet man of the Heavenly Court.
..
“My cultivation speed is too fast, I’ve probably been targeted by Heavenly Court long ago.”
Thinking of this, Su Mu’s face turned gloomy.
This was also why he said that this instance dungeon had a huge crisis at the beginning!
Fortunately, overall, the gains from his first life were still very great.
First, Su Mu created some techniques and abilities that were suitable for the Snake Clan.
Although it was not perfect, it was already decent.
At the very least, it would be much smoother for him to re-cultivate in his next life.
Secondly, Su Mu had gained a basic understanding of this new dungeon world, and also obtained a few important pieces of information related to Heavenly Court.
First, the gods conferred by the Heavenly Court were all its puppets, which could be controlled later on.
Second, there was a huge problem with the Heavenly Court’s conferred land of Avalon. One must not cultivate there!
Unfortunately, Su Mu still knew the purpose of this strange organization, so he could only continue to explore it in the next few lifetimes.
….
After concluding the gains and losses of his previous life, Su Mu decided to start his second life.
Before entering, Su Mu had to adjust his talent.
[Tianque] was a very special talent. Once chosen, it could not be replaced.
Therefore, Su Mu only had [Unyielding] and [Self-Healing], these two talents that he could swap at will.
After thinking for a moment, he changed these two talents to [Heresy] and [Old but Stronger].
[Heresy: Increases the credibility of words](Green Talent)
[Old and Stronger: After 100 years, it will transform once every 10 years](Blue Talent)
Su Mu felt that this dungeon world would be very long.
Therefore, he decided to bring [Old and Firm] to try.
After all, it was a blue grade talent. As long as he could endure it until it took effect, it would be of great use!
If [Unyielding] was a prerequisite talent, then [Old and Stronger] was a late-stage talent.
The effect would definitely be powerful, it would depend on whether Su Mu could endure until then.
As for [Heresy], although it was a green talent, it was very universal.
As long as one lived in an environment with a target to communicate with, this talent would be able to play its role.
In his second life, Su Mu planned to make a name for himself among the demons while cultivating.
This talent was still very useful.
..
“Strengthening [Old and Stronger], opening the second life!”
After choosing the talent he wanted to strengthen, Su Mu entered the Warring States dungeon world for the second time.
[The simulation begins!]
[Host: Su Mu]
[Body: 18]
[Intelligence: 10]
[Life: -28]
[Endowments: Old but Stronger (Strengthened), Heresy, Heaven’s Waning, Kindness, Resentment, Strengthened, Empty]
[Item: None]
As the interface faded, Su Mu’s consciousness sank into darkness.
Then, it appeared in the egg again.
With the first experience, Su Mu immediately broke out of the shell and swam to the foot of the mountain before being discovered by other hunters.
This broken mountain had been tampered with by the celestial heavens, he definitely could not cultivate here!
He had to leave quickly.
Su Mu ran through the night, escaping ten li before stopping.
To a newborn little snake, ten miles was simply a natural moat.
If it wasn’t for Su Mu’s astonishing physique, he would have died from exhaustion long ago.
However, in order to eliminate any future troubles, he gritted his teeth and persevered. He only started hunting after he was far away from the nameless hill to fill his empty stomach.
After eating his fill, Su Mu began to cultivate his own cultivation method, absorbing the essence of day and night, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This little snake had started its own path of growth!
..
Ten days later, Su Mu grew up a little and continued to climb deeper into the mountains.
Before he grew up, he did not want to have any interactions with Heavenly Court.
As for Xiong Shan, he was temporarily powerless.
This bear demon had been a mountain god for a hundred years and had long been corrupted by the Heavenly Court’s strange methods. He could be taken down anytime he wanted.
Su Mu did not have the ability to save Xiong Shan right now, after all, he did not even understand Heavenly Court’s methods.
For the next three years, Su Mu cultivated while venturing deep into the Qinchu Mountains.
Because he didn’t have [Unyielding], a powerful talent in the early stage, he only cultivated to the peak of body refinement in three years.
However, Su Mu wasn’t in a hurry.
He intended to join the Thousand Demon Palace and rely on the resources of this major faction to steadily advance into the Martial God Realm!
When he reached that realm, it would not be too late to consider investigating Heavenly Court.
Su Mu had already been stuck at this last step several times.
In this life, no matter what, he had to become a Martial God!!!
..
On this day, Su Mu caught a wild boar.
Just as he was about to swallow it, a furry pink-white figure jumped out.
“I’m so hungry! Orochi, can you share some with me? I ate very little, just one… No! Half a pig leg is enough.”
A little fox jumped not far from Su Mu and looked at him pitifully.
This fox demon was Dream Li.
However, she didn’t know Su Mu at the moment.
Su Mu quite liked this loyal and somewhat venomous fox demon.
“Eat.”
He swung his tail, tearing off a pig’s hind leg and throwing it to Meng Li.
“Thank you!”
Meng Li wasn’t as vulgar as the ordinary members of the demon race. She politely thanked him before eating.
Although this pork leg was bigger than Meng Li’s entire body, she ate it very quickly.
Not long after, a whole big pig leg entered Meng Li’s stomach.
Of course, Su Mu was even faster.
After clearing out those that could not be eaten, he could just swallow the rest in one gulp.
..
“I’m full. It’s so comfortable!”
The little fox, Mengli, lay on the ground with her limbs spread out. Her stomach was round from eating, and she looked very cute.
She didn’t know why, but she always felt that Su Mu was a little friendly, and subconsciously developed a good impression of him.
Especially when Su Mu spoke, it made her feel even more at ease.
Meng Li thought that she and Su Mu were fated.
In fact, this was the power of [Affinity] and [Heresy].
“Orochi, your cultivation is not bad!”
“Do you want to go to the Pantheon of Demons with me? Let’s go there and learn from him!”
“You should know about the Pantheon of Demons, right? This was the top faction of the demon race. There were several Martial God realm demon monarchs!”
Meng Li was afraid that Su Mu didn’t know about the Myriad Demon Palace, so she explained it to him.
At this time, Meng Li had not joined the Myriad Demon Palace yet. Her strength was the same as Su Mu’s, both at the peak of the Body Refining Realm.
“That’s what I’m thinking. Let’s go together.”
Su Mu didn’t refuse.
In his previous life, Meng Li had taken a huge risk to save him and Xiong Shan.
With such a personality, no matter if it was a human or a demon, he was worth befriending.
“Yay! Another friend!”
Seeing Su Mu agree, Meng Li was very happy, waving her little paws to celebrate.
..
After digesting it, the fox and snake set off.
There were a million demons in the Qinchu Mountain Range, and the deeper they went, the more powerful they were.
Not all demons were willing to join forces.
There were many powerful monsters who liked to live a free and undisciplined life. They occupied the Qin Chu Mountain Range and had their own territories.
Although the demons did not kill or devour each other, they did not love each other.
With the strength of Su Mu and Meng Li, it was still very dangerous to go deep into the mountains to find the Myriad Demon Palace!
If one accidentally entered the territory of an unfamiliar demon, there was a possibility of being killed!
However, Su Mu was an experienced person, and with [Intimate] and [Heresy], his journey was quite smooth.
He had even managed to coax some spirit fruits and spirit medicines from some great demons.
Meng Li, this little fox, was dumbstruck and endlessly impressed!
The way he addressed him had also changed from ” Orochi ” to ” Big Brother Su “.
..
Just like that, half a year later, Su Mu and Meng Li finally arrived at the Myriad Demon Palace!
Although the Pantheon of Demons was covered by an array formation, the surrounding spiritual energy was dense and the terrain was extraordinary.
Let alone Su Mu who had come once.
Even if they had never been here before, they would feel that this was not an ordinary place!
“Senior, we’re here to learn from you!”
Meng Li placed her claws in front of her mouth, forming a trumpet shape and shouting loudly.
After shouting a few times, the space in front of them fluctuated, and then a beautiful and mysterious green-feathered bird flew out.
It was the Bell that Su Mu had seen before!
——————————————
She had wanted to write some small plots before the main character became strong, but she did not expect it to be good. He might as well not write it and speed up the progress to push the main storyline.
“In addition, everyone can rest assured that this dungeon will definitely allow you to advance to the Martial God Realm and go far in the Martial God Realm.
This dungeon had just begun, and the second male lead had not been born yet…
