Chapter 348: Chapter 317: Heavenly Chi Island_1

“Have we arrived?”

The mist swirled, morphing into the shape of Xu Mu.

He released the seal of the God Refining Tripod within him, allowing the Black YuanYing to sense the external surroundings.

In his perception, there was an island not far from the two of them, radiating vigorous life energy.

“According to the information I’ve obtained, this should be the place, I didn’t expect you to be this lucky,” the Black YuanYing exclaimed.

In his estimation, even if Xu Mu could reach the area where the Creation Chi was located, he would inevitably be battered and bruised, but now it seemed he was unscathed.

This shocked the Black YuanYing, but he refrained from further questioning.

He must not forget that they were bitter enemies, having more information about Xu Mu would only work against him. Therefore, he often played dumb.

“Are you sure?”

“Based on the information I have, there’s no mistake. But without actually entering it, who can be 100% sure about the Creation Chi?”

“Will there be any danger inside?” Xu Mu asked.

“There shouldn’t be. After all, it’s located in the central area of the Misty Area where human traces are rare, it’s unlikely to be guarded by monster beasts like common treasures,” said the Black YuanYing.

Xu Mu pondered for a while, still feeling uncertain, and decided not to enter directly.

Despite the mysteries of the Virtualization Skill that saved him from danger, he had experienced plenty of perils on his journey.

He didn’t believe that a place hiding the Creation Chi, such a treasure, was without any guardian beast.

“I’ll send a clone in to check first.”

Xu Mu sent the only remaining Golden Core Stage clone into it.

Due to the enveloping mist, the range that his Divine Intent could perceive was very limited; plus, the interference from the life energy made it even narrower.

Upon entering, his clone felt like a normal person lost in an unexplored forest, advancing bit by bit.

The exact size of the island was unknown, but it was teeming with lush trees and all kinds of plants.

Whether it was due to the life energy or the inherently thick spiritual energy, these plants were mostly Spiritual Medicine, with a lot of them being at tier four or five.

This was essentially a treasure island. Gathering all materials from here would certainly amount to a massive fortune.

But Xu Mu didn’t hastily let the clone collect the treasures on the island.

Seeing so many treasures made him initially wary of this island, and now he was even more concerned.

If it were merely a Creation Chi, there might have been no guardian beast due to environmental factors.

But now with so many treasures, each serving different functions, it would definitely attract a large number of beasts.

Yet it was empty, apart from the treasures, this peculiar scenario made it hard not to doubt its authenticity.

His clone applied defensive skills and advanced cautiously.

Like this, he proceeded smoothly, following the increasing intensity of the life energy signal.

Before long, a pool of moderate size appeared in front of his eyes.

This pool only spanned a radius of around ten miles, the water inside emanated a clear light, as if auroras from the sky had settled there, which was in stark contrast in this misty place.

The intense energy emitted from the pool didn’t need discernment, he knew for sure that it was the Creation Chi they were looking for.

“This is too easy, isn’t it?”

Xu Mu furrowed his brows; everything had been too smooth, making him skeptical.

“Have you noticed anything?” the Black YuanYing asked.

Xu Mu nodded slightly.

“In that case, our agreement is now complete, it’s about time you freed me!!” The Black YuanYing exclaimed urgently.

“Our agreement isn’t just about finding it, we have to prove that the Creation Chi works on my body before it can be fulfilled,” Xu Mu said calmly.

“Can’t you already feel the rich life energy? It is sure to be beneficial to your body, so release me quickly, you’re not thinking of breaking your oath, are you?” The Black YuanYing shouted.

Of course, he hoped to get away as soon as possible.

If Xu Mu’s body recovers and his strength significantly increases, that wouldn’t be good news for him.

“I won’t break my oath, stay inside quietly! As soon as my body recovers, I’ll set you free,”

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, about to enter the island with his real body, when his clone, standing near the Creation Chi, experienced a sudden change.

The surroundings began to alter; in his perception and field of vision, he appeared to be in an unfamiliar environment.

It was as if he had been abruptly teleported away.

“How can this be? I can clearly feel that the clone is on this island, why would the environment change?”

Xu Mu mumbled to himself.

“Could your clone have been poisoned or fallen into some kind of illusionary Formation?” The Black YuanYing suggested.

“Unlikely to be a Formation, unless there are inhabitants on this island.”

“Can’t there be a Formation without humans?” The Black YuanYing countered.

At this moment, he was quite bitter, but for his own safety, he had to remind Xu Mu.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Not only human cultivators possess intelligence!”

“You know the situation here as well as I do, it’s impossible for any creature to live here, are you implying that…”

“Since you’ve figured it out, try to solve it yourself and remember your promise!” The Black YuanYing fell silent.

Xu Mu’s expression flickered, and he figured out what it was.

Xu Mu wasn’t going to rush in and face whatever it was alone.

He had never been here before and had no idea what the danger could be. Rushing in blindly would be risking his life.

“If I want to enter the Creation Chi, I’ll have to break through this danger, since that’s the case–”

Xu Mu quickly decided on a plan.

A massive White Tiger puppet appeared beside him. Its mouth opened to gather a blue beam, which was shot fiercely toward the island.

Crack!

Wherever the blue beam hit, crystalization occurred immediately.

What this crystalization was, or what principle it worked on, Xu Mu wasn’t exactly sure.

All he knew was that this skill was extremely domineering; even a Nascent Soul level weapon would be devastated upon direct hit. The Xuanmu Divine Lord was the perfect example.

Now, what he had to do was quite simple, to bulldoze through.

Risking an adventure and passively dealing with danger wasn’t his style, it was also too dangerous.

Therefore, by utilizing the unique properties of the crystalization light beam, he continuously launched attacks on the island.

Thanks to his previous modification, the crystalization skill of the White Tiger puppet not only became more powerful, but it could also absorb nature’s spiritual energy for usage, saving a lot of Spirit Stones and prolonging its usage.

The best part was that the nearby spiritual energy was very rich, enabling the White Tiger puppet to recover faster.

“Where did you get this puppet?”
