Chapter 809 Exile
Several days later, late at night.
Chen Mu lay in the rocking chair atop the dragon boat, carefully observing the sky.
Several days ago, in the middle of the month, the Emperor's Dew failed to arrive as scheduled, and the stars in the sky seemed to have changed slightly.
These days, besides traveling to find traces of Qi cultivators, he would go out to stargaze every night.
After a while, Chen Mu looked at the translucent gray stone door that appeared before him.
Small Heavenly Cycle Star Combat Technique Restriction: 1719/10000/Second Tier;
"I've gained over a hundred experience points."
"As expected, the stars in the sky have indeed undergone unknown changes."
He didn't have much of a concept of the starry sky before, but he learned the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Combat Technique at the Tianhe Water Palace in Yizhou.
Although his level wasn't high, it was just enough for him to see the changes in the celestial bodies.
"This battle in the Mysterious Heaven is probably really coming to an end soon," Chen Mu realized.
……
More than half a month later.
In the Misty Sky, on a small floating island less than three miles in circumference.
Accompanied by a series of popping sounds, plumes of yellow mist shot into the sky, quickly engulfing the entire island.
Chen Mu, who was standing on a rock absorbing demonic energy, was suddenly enveloped in yellow smoke.
Chen Mu stared at the strange beast, about the size of a yellow dog, with three pairs of fleshy wings, resembling a larger version of the Weasel God, not far away, and his eyes immediately turned red.
"This stinks so badly!"
"I just wanted to collect some demonic energy. I didn't commit any heinous crimes. Why should I suffer this retribution!"
He immediately fled the island.
But the group of winged weasels had no intention of letting him go.
They took off in droves, their eyes bloodshot, chasing after Chen Mu menacingly, as if they were mortal enemies.
These yellow weasels seemed to possess the supernatural power to control the wind; their wings were enveloped in a pale yellow spiritual light, and they moved with lightning speed.
As it flew, it also sprayed foul-smelling mist at Chen Mu, leaving trails of hazy yellow smoke in the sky.
They chased Chen Mu for dozens of miles, leading him into the seabed and disappearing completely before giving up.
……
Deep in the ocean, within the keel's perimeter.
Chen Mu was surrounded by a persistent, resilient stench that penetrated deep into his soul. Even with his powerful physique, comparable to that of a celestial demon, he couldn't help but gag.
"This thing is practically comparable to a divine attack technique!"
"Damn it, this outfit is no good."
He changed into clean clothes and rubbed himself from head to toe with the Five Ghosts Black Smoke several times. After a while, he finally suppressed the churning in his stomach.
"It's just that he absorbed some demonic energy, why is he so irritable?" Chen Mu grumbled.
This wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a volatile monster.
Since the celestial bodies changed, the demonic energy has been thinning at a visible rate, and the demons of the Misty Sky have become unusually irritable.
Chen Mu fully understands this.
Just like a Qi cultivator leaving the earth's spiritual energy, the sense of deprivation and insecurity is indeed quite agonizing.
"But chasing after me and farting like a biohazard is going too far!"
Chen Mu kept raising his hands to smell the scent on his left and right arms.
With the meticulous swallowing and kneading of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains, it was almost impossible for any foul odor to remain, but he still felt that there was a foul odor lingering in front of his nose.
He felt it would probably take several months before he could completely forget the smell.
"We can't just let it go like this!"
……
night.
On a small floating island, in a small valley, a white-bearded, six-winged yellow sage sat on a large blue stone, rhythmically breathing towards the sky.
The faint demonic aura that permeated the valley slowly moved toward it. It took a full half hour for it to gather into a cloud of mist five or six meters in diameter.
The white-bearded Yellow Immortal squinted at the demonic aura above his head, as if looking at a handful of melon seeds that had been painstakingly cracked open.
Gently inhaling a wisp of demonic energy and swallowing it, it felt as if he had eaten a delicious treat, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and hum softly.
But the moment it closed its eyes, dozens of black holes the size of eggs appeared out of thin air within that mass of demonic energy.
It's like running into a powerful smoke extractor.
Slip!
The entire mass of demonic energy was instantly sucked into the hole and disappeared.
Having digested the lingering, fruity aura of the appetizer, the white-bearded Yellow Immortal, who was about to enjoy his main meal, stared blankly at the empty space in mid-air.
No!
Am I some kind of demon?!
Where did my huge cloud of demonic energy go?!
Outside the valley, listening to the chaotic chirping inside, Chen Mu, who had quietly revealed himself, laughed even more heartily.
"This is nothing."
"If I don't suck out all the demonic energy from this island, I'll have suffered enough for nothing!"
"Hehe, keep going, keep going!"
……
An unnamed flying island.
Lan Xiuzhu stood atop the highest mountain on the island, gazing up at the stars in the sky.
The stars, which used to seem unchanging, can now be clearly seen to move.
Although slow, it can indeed move at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Tsk, changing the heavens and earth, shifting stars and altering constellations, such great magical power and supernatural abilities, no wonder he is the Dao Ancestor." Yin Changsheng, who was not far away, looked up at the night sky and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Dao Ancestor Baiyi is indeed a genius of unparalleled talent." Lan Xiuzhu nodded.
"Baiyi? That elusive First Dao Ancestor? He's made a move too?"
"Aren't the three Dao Ancestors Chunyang, Luofu, and Tianhe in charge of this campaign?" Yin Changsheng asked, puzzled.
"The power of the three Dao Ancestors is indeed astonishing, but they rely more on the Hundred Intent Heaven Zhou Tian Star Battle Technique Restriction."
"And the Zhou Tian Star Battle Technique Restriction was created by that First Dao Ancestor." Lan Xiuzhu exclaimed in admiration, "Baiyi Heaven, what a wonderful place."
Just then, a strong wind suddenly swept across the island, bringing Lan Xiuzhu back to her senses from her reverie.
"The upheaval caused by the celestial changes is beginning to settle, and the three Dao Ancestors will soon cast spells to banish the local demons."
"Preparations on the island must be made as soon as possible." He looked at Yin Changsheng.
"Don't worry, Sect Master. All the monsters, big and small, on the island have been driven away, and the precious materials and strange objects containing demonic energy have been collected and processed."
“It concerns the safety of one’s own path, and no one dares to risk their life,” Yin Changsheng said.
“Not only are there precious materials, but there is also demonic energy.” Lan Xiuzhu shook his head: “Have Donglai use his spiritual eye to sift through the island again, and no one is allowed to keep even a trace of demonic energy.”
"That stuff is useless to Qi cultivators, what idiot would hoard demonic energy?" Yin Changsheng frowned.
"Heh, who knows?"
"That's true. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. It's not surprising to find a few people with brain problems."
……
On Wong Tai Sin Island, Chen Mu, who was watching with delight as the demonic aura emanating from Thousand Lantern City stood frozen in place, was actually quite agitated.
Below the flying island, the sea, which had been calm just moments before, was now churning with towering waves.
But everything on the island seemed to stand still, and the six-winged Weasel flying in mid-air seemed to be frozen in place.
Even the pervasive, yellowish, foul-smelling smoke seemed to transform into a clearly defined, tangible solid.
Chen Mu, who was secretly pleased while hiding behind Thousand Lanterns City, was also frozen in place by an invisible force.
Then he saw the figures of Wong Tai Sin fade and disappear one by one, as if an eraser was slowly wiping away the images of all living things on the island.
Chen Mu wanted to resist, but he couldn't even blink.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as his own body slowly faded and disappeared.
