Chapter 68: Playing the Monster, Breaking the Blockade

Watching as the old yellow dog absorbed the spatial killing array into its body, Mu Xuyang knew that it would take some time for the dog to fully digest the power contained in the tomb master's body. He decided to put the old yellow dog directly into the spirit bag to let it rest, and then quickly left the burial chamber.

Mu Xuyang left the main burial chamber and didn't see anyone around. He realized that the people outside the chamber, upon seeing experts like Lu Zhenyan and Zhang Jinde, didn't dare to linger in the burial chamber and quickly fled. This made him aware of the danger and realized that they had left the ancient tomb at the earliest opportunity.

Half an hour later, Mu Xuyang arrived at the exit of the ancient tomb. He saw a group of people waiting in the nearby forest, their gaze fixed on the tomb's exit. From this, he deduced that these guys were not willing to leave just like that, but patiently waited for his appearance.

"So many people waiting at the exit. If I show up, I'll definitely be surrounded. What should I do now? Should I patiently stay inside the tomb until these guys who are watching the tomb's exit leave before I can leave?"

Seeing so many people at the tomb's exit, Mu Xuyang felt extremely frustrated for a moment. But he didn't act rashly. He stood still and pondered for a while, then took out the props he used to pretend to be a monster and scare Dong Kuifu and others. He put on the disguise, transforming himself into a monster.

With the disguise complete, Mu Xuyang sat cross-legged at the tomb's exit and began practicing the "Tempering Spirit Scripture," waiting for nightfall.

Three hours later, as the sky darkened, Mu Xuyang stopped practicing and cautiously approached the exit of the tomb. He took a look outside, vaguely seeing that group of people still lurking about a hundred feet away from the tomb's exit. But this time, Mu Xuyang didn't hesitate. He immediately left the tomb and, taking advantage of the darkness, pressed close to the tomb's stone wall, heading away from the exit.

After covering a distance of more than ten yards, Mu Xuyang stopped and looked around. He selected a direction for the breakout and calmly took out his long spear. With a swift movement, he rushed towards the forested area where the person with a cultivation level in the second stage of the Magic Power Realm was lurking.

Mu Xuyang's speed was incredibly fast. Compared to an ordinary person in the initial stage of the Talisman Realm, he wouldn't fall behind. The person in the Magic Power Realm could only see the afterimage left by his figure but couldn't clearly see his appearance or the postures he maintained at this moment.

Swish!

Mu Xuyang's figure shot into the forest like a flash of light, then he directly swung the long spear in his hand, stabbing at a person who blocked his path.

That unfortunate fellow didn't even have time to react before Mu Xuyang pierced his body with a gun. With a swing of his spear, the guy's body was sent flying, colliding with another person blocking the road behind him.

Bang!

The guy behind realized the situation wasn't good and was about to dodge, but his reaction was a bit slow. He was directly hit by the flying corpse and was then sent flying by the force of the impact transmitted from the corpse. He crashed into more than ten thick trees, breaking them as he fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.

"So weak and not fun at all." After sending two people flying, Mu Xuyang stabilized his figure and deliberately showed his face to the bewildered guys. He wanted them to see his current appearance, then swiftly flashed his figure and rushed off into the distance.

Not long after Mu Xuyang successfully broke through the area where more than twenty people of various cultivation levels were lurking, experts at the Symbol Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm who heard the commotion arrived at the scene. When they learned from the people in this area that it was only a powerful and ferocious monster that had broken through from their side, they lost interest immediately. They turned around and returned to the area where they had been lurking, continuing to closely monitor any movement from the ancient tomb's side.

After appearing in the form of a monster and breaking through the area where numerous forces were active, Mu Xuyang first removed his monster disguise. Then, he found a quiet place, sat cross-legged, and entered the state of practicing the "Tempering Spirit Scripture."

He spent the entire night practicing and stopped when dawn arrived. He then released the old yellow dog from the spirit pouch and let it help search for the presence of demons and collect demon cores.

After devouring the tomb owner's body, the old yellow dog's sense of smell and hearing greatly improved. It couldn't be deceived by any aura emitted by living beings within a radius of thousands of miles, and it couldn't miss any movement created around it.

With the help of the old yellow dog, Mu Xuyang found it much easier to locate and hunt down demons that had combat power and cultivation levels similar to human beings.

In the following two months, Mu Xuyang searched and killed demons in this demonic realm and spirit plane space who were almost at the same level as him in terms of combat power and cultivation level. He collected demon cores as auxiliary materials for his cultivation, while diligently practicing the "Tempering Spirit Scripture" at night.

Although the progress from these two months of dedicated practice wasn't particularly significant and he hadn't been able to break through the threshold to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his mid-stage Transmutation Realm cultivation had improved.

In fact, Mu Xuyang's cultivation speed, superficially speaking, seemed only slightly faster than an ordinary person's. But in reality, it was more than a hundred times faster.

This is because the capacity of the sea of consciousness during the transformation is only one percent of the power vortex in Mu Xuyang's sea of consciousness.

By calculating the data alone, if Mu Xuyang only needed to fill the power vortex with the same amount of power as an ordinary person, he would have broken through and stepped into the realm of mana more than a month ago.

If others knew the capacity of Mu Xuyang's sea of consciousness, which is a hundred times larger than that of an ordinary person, they would be shocked and astonished.

However, Mu Xuyang's immense capacity of the sea of consciousness can only be clearly perceived by himself. When others observe him, he appears completely normal, with no difference from an ordinary person.

The reason for this illusion is entirely due to the existence of a powerful and mysterious treasure called the "Qimen" in Mu Xuyang's sea of consciousness.

"My cultivation hasn't been able to achieve a breakthrough and enter the realm of mana as desired. However, after two months of effort, my combat power has made a leap in improvement. Most importantly, in the face of enemies, my adaptability and response capabilities have increased several times compared to before entering this demonic realm and spiritual plane. Currently, even if I were surrounded by a group of peak mana realm characters, I would have enough confidence to deal with them and ensure my victory. If the opponent abandons the advantage of their realm and engages in close combat with me, no one without mana realm would be my match. The annual hall battle, which is held by the sect every year, is about to begin. I wonder if I, who was taken in by the sect after being shattered, still have the qualifications to participate in this year's hall battle. If possible, I hope to fight Lin Dong and thoroughly humiliate him on the battlefield to avenge the grudge he had against me in the past."

Recalling the incident a few months ago when he obtained the Spirit Valley Seed and had an accident, colliding with Lin Dong and having his Spirit Valley Seed burned to ashes by Lin Dong, Mu Xuyang was filled with hatred and clenched his teeth, wishing to immediately go to the Thunderhawk Hall to find trouble with Lin Dong.
