"Is this the end of life?"

Chen Mu stared at Liu Wanzheng, who had passed away, with a slightly scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Since Liu Wanzheng neither ran away nor resisted, he didn't care about giving him a dignified death. Such a death was basically equivalent to dying at the end of his life.

Talk about it.

Although Chen Mu has seen people dying at the end of their lives, on the one hand, he was not at the level he is today, and on the other hand, the people he saw before were not marrow cleansing masters like Liu Wanzheng.

"If he gives up on locking his own energy and blood, it will be the same as dying at the end of his life, but this seems to be different from what I thought in the past."

Chen Mu whispered in his heart.

He originally believed that the limit of life and death in this world was the limit of human cells. If he could continue to maintain vitality, he would be able to live forever, but now it seems that he was a little superficial at first.

Although Liu Wanzheng's death was caused by sitting, it was obviously different from ordinary people's death of old age. His body withered and decayed in a very short period of time. This was not only the loss of essence, but also vague traces of other things.

"Years?"

Chen Mu whispered.

Or is it his imagination?

At his level, there shouldn't be any illusions. Maybe time, an invisible material thing, can really carve numerous 'scars' on people until they burst out at a certain moment.

But if time is really a state, he can't see the real passage of time now. It just passed by because of Liu Wanzheng's death.

The artistic conception of the four seasons that Xuanji Pavilion majors in seems to follow the flow of time, but the actual practice is only the appearance of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it cannot touch the concept of real time at all.

Even at Chen Mu's current level, he is cultivating the universe that encompasses all changes in the world, and he cannot touch the years.

Not to mention the ethereal things like years and years.

Even if it is the essence of space, when he sees it now, it is like being in the clouds and mist, unable to see clearly, unable to practice and comprehend.

But logically speaking, since there is a spiritual treasure of space nature like the 'Qiankun Pot' in this world, then space should also be a way that can be understood, but it may be too high level and too hidden so that no one can Really touching.

"Even if there really is a more illusory way like time, space and time, ordinary people can't touch it, not even me. Maybe when I take the third step of mastering the artistic conception in the future and enter the level of the unity of heaven and man, I can hope to have a peek. What’s his appearance?”

Chen Mu looked up into nothingness.

At least no matter what kind of martial arts in the world, they never really include the concepts of void and time. Even only those figures at the peak of martial arts in the realm of harmony between man and nature can tear the void apart in a fierce battle.

Maybe this is something that mortals will never be able to touch, or maybe it's just that the martial arts in this world haven't reached that level yet.

After all, he was still unable to comprehend it out of thin air, so after a brief thought, Chen Mu took a step forward, wiped out Liu Wanzheng's bones, and quickly cleared the battlefield.

Yu Shouxuan and others did not carry anything else except the spiritual weapons. Chen Mu did not pay much attention to these. Only the thousand-year-old jade bottle containing the dew of heaven and earth was specially held in his hand to examine it. One or two, and then gently open the lid.

"The dew of heaven and earth, the spiritual creature that prolongs life..."

Chen Mu looked at the bottom of the bottle, looking at the small amount of crystal clear spiritual liquid with a thoughtful expression.

The Dew of Heaven and Earth is indeed an extremely rare life-extending spiritual object, and its value is also unusually high, but it probably won't have much effect on him. After all, he doesn't even know how long he can live. After practicing the Qiankun martial arts, the energy will be so strong that it will probably not decline for hundreds of years.

In the future, when entering the realm of blood exchange, it is not unusual to have a lifespan of a thousand years, which is comparable to that of a heavenly demon.

but.

Although he cannot use this heaven and earth creation, he can still exchange it for what he needs, and it is very easy to exchange. After all, this is a spiritual object that can be encountered but cannot be obtained, and everyone in the blood exchange realm will fight for it.

In addition, he was also thinking that maybe he could take it back and use a drop on Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue and others to see the effect.

It will be difficult for Xu Hongyu to enter the realm of a marrow cleansing master in the future. Her qualifications are far behind those of a true master like Meng Danyun, and her practice is also a step slower. In martial arts practice, a step slower often makes a world of difference.

Even the possibility of Meng Danyun becoming a master in the future is no more than 20-30%, and Xu Hongyu is naturally even more slim.

But if there is dew from heaven and earth, it can heal the traces of time and make up for the loss of essence... Even if extending life for ten years does not mean being ten years younger, it is enough to greatly increase the possibility of Xu Hongyu becoming a master in the future, including Chen Yue.

In the eyes of others, it would be almost a waste of resources to use the life-extending treasure of the Dew of Heaven and Earth, which even a master could not cultivate, for ordinary people. However, in Chen Mu's eyes, the relatives around him are naturally far more important than anything else. .

"Go back."

After Chen Mu packed up all the things, although he could still carry them with his ability, there were some inconveniences. After thinking for a while, he decided to return to the ground first.

After all, after getting familiar with the road, returning from the abyss to the earth was quick, and he didn't need to travel too far.

Just think of this.

Chen Mu waved his hand to erase the remaining traces in the field, and then glanced at the terrain not far away where the green dragon drew water.

"The green dragon is still fetching water, but the green lotus emerging from the earth is gone. In another hundred years, some spiritual liquid may still be produced here, but there should be no more dew of heaven and earth."

Chen Mu looked at the broken green lotus and shook his head slightly. This was a change in the world that could not be replicated.

According to Liu Wanzheng, this place may have existed for two or three hundred years, which is already a relatively long time. No matter how unique the place is, it cannot survive forever.

This is one of the reasons why good fortune is so rare.

Uh-huh!

After Chen Mu had a rough memory of the location, he turned around and walked away, quickly disappearing.

…

The process of returning to the ground did not encounter any surprises.

Chen Mu arrived all the way to the ground. After briefly searching for a place to place the previous harvest, he also saw the changes on the ground.

The demon disaster that formed in the sky on the second day has become more and more serious, and some demons can be seen running around almost everywhere on the ground.

However, Qixuan Sect also responded. Many disciples and even deacons and guardians cooperated with all parties in Shuang County to spread out in various places to kill demons and suppress demon chaos.

During Chen Mu's short journey, he encountered two or three fights between humans and monsters, but the Qixuan Sect's men and horses basically had the upper hand, so he never showed up to intervene, only passing by.

And just when he returned to the Cangshuang Mountains.

A red stream of light suddenly rose in the distance and went straight into the sky, but it was the Qixuan Sect's signal for help.

Chen Mu thought for a moment, then moved his steps, temporarily changed his direction, and walked towards the direction where the signal for help came from. It didn't take him a moment to reach the place where the signal was sent.

But I saw a group of about ten people, led by dozens of guards, fending off a large number of monsters attacking from the distant mountains. The monsters were all very fierce, and there were even some big monsters of the sixth level among them.

As for this group of Qixuan Sect members, there is only one Dharma Protector, but he is somewhat helpless.

"The situation is unfavorable for the protector, so it would be better to temporarily abandon the defense."

One of the deacons was covered in blood. After struggling to kill a fifth-level monster, he spoke to Yu Cheng, the protector of Qixuan Sect not far away.

Yu Cheng was dealing with the siege of two sixth-order monsters. Although he could resist it, he couldn't take it down in a short time. At this time, he was frowning and staring at the Cangshuang Mountains in the distance.

There have been a lot of monsters emerging from the Cangshuang Mountains in the past few days, and they all climbed out from under the abyss. After all, the Cangshuang Mountains are a hundred miles wide, and it is not that easy to block all directions. However, Qixuan Sect's The other masters are not too far away from here. Basically, they can arrive soon after sending out a signal.

"The signal has been released, hold on for a while longer."

Yu Cheng gritted his teeth and said.

but.

Just as he finished speaking, the situation on the entire battlefield suddenly froze.

The hundreds of monsters all over the mountains and plains seemed to be frozen in place due to their sudden pause, and their violent and cruel eyes seemed to reveal a look of horror and humanity.

Uh-huh.

But he saw a figure descending from the sky, falling silently into the field, and then just waving his sleeves. In an instant, the monsters in front of him collapsed and fell in pieces, with their heads exploded and blood splattered everywhere.

"Chen...Fengzhu Chen?!"

Yu Cheng and the other deacons were startled at first, and then looked at Chen Mu's back. They quickly reacted, and they all looked excited and in awe.

I remember that Chen Mu seemed to have gone into the abyss to explore with many elder peak masters, and for some reason he appeared here again. However, Chen Mu’s appearance is always a good thing. There is a peak master here, and no matter how many monsters are scattered all over the mountains and plains, they can’t make waves. .

Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

But seeing Chen Mu's face calm, he casually walked a few steps in the field, waved his sleeves a few times, and dozens or hundreds of monsters collapsed and fell to the ground. The monsters that were still pouring out in the distance stopped abruptly for this reason. , all seemed to feel Chen Mu's terror, each one woke up from the madness, and retreated into the distance in fear.

Seeing Chen Mu driving away the monsters all over the mountains and plains with a wave of his hand, Yu Cheng felt both awe and fear in his heart. For a moment, he thought back to the time when he had questioned Chen Mu for misappropriating the sect's resources too much, and he secretly felt ashamed. Those resources would have been many times more. , so what, you can’t create a peak master like Chen Mu, an elder-level figure.

"Are you responsible for guarding this position?"

After Chen Mu drove away the monsters in the mountain, he turned around and walked a few steps. His figure quietly appeared in front of Yu Cheng and others, and asked casually.

On the second day, the abyss of the earth opened, and the ground was also suffering from monster chaos. It would be fine if he didn't encounter it. Now that he did, he would naturally pay a little attention to it, but according to what he had seen along the way, the situation should still be stable. among.

"yes."

Yu Cheng bowed respectfully, and then quickly stated the general layout of the Cangshuang Mountains.

Due to the existence of the elder peak masters of Qixuan Sect, most of them have gone to the abyss, so the person currently responsible for the demon disaster in Shuang County is Murong Yan, the guardian of the main peak. Her strength is also close to that of ordinary masters, and she can also control some situations. .

After listening to Yu Cheng's answer, Chen Mu asked a few more questions about the situation in Bingzhou and Bingjue Palace. This time Yu Cheng's answer was a little uncertain, and he spoke with a slight hesitation:

"It is said that the foreign races outside the pass have joined forces with the Tianyao Sect and the Tianzhi Sect to break through the mountain gate of Bingjue Palace, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

"I don't know if it's true or not..."

Chen Mu frowned slightly and glanced in the direction of the center of Bingzhou.

On the second day of the merger, natural disasters struck, and the earth's veins were turbulent. If the sect formation of Bingjue Palace was established based on the earth's veins, there might indeed be big problems, and it would indeed be impossible to withstand the aliens, the Celestial Demon Sect, and the Celestial Corpse. The door joins forces.

The main reason is that the masters of the Qixuan Sect are now exploring the abyss of the earth, and basically have no intention to pay attention to the affairs of Bingzhou, including other major sects in Hanbei. This is also the reason why the aliens, the Tianyao Sect, and the Tianzhi Sect dare to take action. .

but.

Just when Chen Mu was thinking for a moment, a slightly thick voice came.

"It's true, but it's not that the aliens broke through the mountain gate of Bingjue Palace, but Bingjue Palace took the initiative to abandon its defense."

This voice is very familiar.

When Chen Mu heard this, he moved his eyes slightly, looked in the direction where the sound came from, and said, "How come Elder Feng also left the abyss?"

far away.

However, he saw a figure walking forward. After a few steps, he also came nearby. It was Feng Hongsheng, the elder of Qixuan Sect.

When Yu Cheng and others saw Feng Hongsheng appear, their eyes suddenly became more respectful, and they all saluted Feng Hongsheng again.

Feng Hongsheng did not look at Yu Cheng and others, but looked at Chen Mu, smiled and said: "I encountered some difficult things that I couldn't handle. I was looking for some help, but I didn't expect Master Chen Feng to be here."

"oh?"

Chen Mu looked at Feng Hongsheng.

Feng Hongsheng nodded slightly towards Chen Mu and said, "Master Chen, please follow me. Let's talk as we go."

"good."

Chen Mu looked calm and followed Feng Hongsheng towards the Cangshuang Mountains, quickly disappearing from the sight of Yu Cheng and others.

As Feng Hongsheng walked, he briefly described the situation in Bingjue Palace to Chen Mu. The turmoil in the Abyss has not yet spread to the center of Bingzhou, but it will sweep there sooner or later. Various forces are busy exploring the Abyss, and it is difficult for anyone to help. Bing Jue Palace resisted, and the entire Bingzhou became a mess that could not be dealt with, so Bing Jue Palace temporarily abandoned the sect and planned to avoid the center of the chaos.

"I see."

Chen Mu nodded after hearing this. Although Feng Hongsheng said it simply, the move of a large number of sects in Bingjue Palace is certainly not as simple as words, and the actions must be very complicated and troublesome, but there is no need to elaborate on these.

"I wonder if the difficult thing Elder Feng encountered is..."

"Well, when I was exploring the abyss of the earth, I came across a place where there must be extraordinary spiritual beings from heaven and earth, but there was an eighth-level ancient demon guarding it. There was no way around it. I couldn't deal with it alone. I want to find a helper."

Feng Hongsheng led Chen Mu towards the entrance to the Abyss in the Cangshuang Mountains, and said to Chen Mu: "I wonder if Master Chen has something important to do. If nothing happens, use Master Chen's power to join hands with me." , at least it can lure away that ancient demon."

Although his strength is not weak, the eighth-level ancient demon is enough to match the top masters. He is not an opponent in any way. He cannot be diverted alone. However, it will be different if Chen Mu joins forces. Even if he cannot fight, he cannot be diverted. The purpose can also be achieved.
