Chapter 155: Absolutely No Strength
A few days later.
After a few turns, Zhao Mu and Empress Qing Yun finally left the Demons Forest and arrived at the human territory.
Amidst the clear waters and green mountains, in a secluded valley.
After being completely safe, Empress Qing Yun started fusing with her physical body.
"My soul consciousness has left my physical body for too long. Although I used a secret technique to keep my physical body fresh, it will take at least ten days to fuse with my soul consciousness. During this period, I have to be fully focused and cannot be distracted. You will have to protect me."
Fusing with her physical body would take ten days?
Well, under normal circumstances, the soul leaving the body was equivalent to death. Even for a Tribulation Stage cultivator, it was very dangerous for their soul to wander outside for more than a month.
It would be good enough if they could return.
"Don't worry, Empress. With me around, nothing will happen."
Zhao Mu patted his chest and said confidently.
Empress Qing Yun did not say anything else. She turned into a ball of spiritual light and crashed into her physical body.
Seeing this, Zhao Mu activated his Golden Body of Protection and the Golden Pagoda. With the double protection, not even a fly could enter within a hundred meters.
Then, Zhao Mu flew to the top of the mountain and set up a small formation boundary. He attracted a large amount of fog into the mountain stream.
Not far from here, there was a village where commoners lived. There might be hunters hunting in the mountains. With the fog, it would prevent mortals from coming near.
After finishing the protective measures, Zhao Mu returned to the empress's side.
At this moment, the empress was lying on a piece of moist white jade. She looked as if she was in a deep sleep. Her face was calm and serene.
But if one sensed carefully, they would find that there was a violent energy fluctuation in the empress's body. It was obvious that the fusion process was not smooth.
"I wonder if Little Candy will still be here after the fusion …"
Zhao Mu suddenly sighed softly.
His encounter with Little Candy was like a meeting through three thousand years of time. But the past was the past. Just like how no one could live forever in childhood.
Goodbye, little foodie. If there comes a day when I grasp the mystery of time and can freely travel between the past and the future, I will definitely go back three thousand years and personally see you when you were twelve years old. Then, I will make you a sumptuous and delicious dinner.
After letting out a long sigh of relief, Zhao Mu also began to cultivate in seclusion.
After the battle with the Great Guardian, Zhao Mu had a clear understanding of his own strength.
m.
There was still a lot of room for improvement.
His Dharma Idol could also be retracted more freely.
The power of the divine body hadn't been fully unleashed yet.
Space god art was still useful, but unfortunately, he didn't have the talent for it.
There were 3,000 Great Daos and 10,000 Divine Abilities. Among them, the Spatial Secret Arts were the most difficult to master.
In the entire Saint Prime Devil Sect, An Zixuan was the only one who had mastered the spatial mystic technique.
Even Empress Qing Yun didn't have this ability.
However, nothing was absolute.
Although Zhao Mu didn't have the talent to control spatial divine arts, he could make up for it with divine runes.
Forming a spatial array was much easier than cultivating a spatial divine ability.
Of course, this' easy 'was relative.
After all, Array Masters were extremely rare. To create a spatial array, one had to be at least at the level of a Great Grandmaster like Zhou Siliang.
For the majority of Array Masters, it would be extremely difficult for them to reach this stage in their lifetime.
However, for Zhao Mu, who had the system, it was nothing more than a matter of returning the rewards.
Zhao Mu walked to an empty space not far away and summoned the five Spirit Beasts.
"Line up properly. Today, Master will teach you about array formations. Look carefully and learn. Whoever learns the fastest will be rewarded."
Hearing Zhao Mu's words, the five Spirit Beasts tilted their heads at the same time.
Baa baa baa?
Boss, aren't you making things difficult for me?
Zhao Mu didn't care about the Spirit Beasts' opinions and started to teach them the basics of array formations. However, he started from the most basic divine runes.
After lecturing for two hours, Zhao Mu's mouth was dry.
Fortunately, he received a system notification.
"Ding! You have imparted the art of array formation, triggering a thousandfold refund. Your array formation skills have greatly improved."
"Ding …"
Five consecutive system notifications caused Zhao Mu's array formation skills to increase tremendously. He immediately broke through to become a second-grade array master.
With the breakthrough, a large amount of array formation knowledge appeared in Zhao Mu's mind.
"For the next ten days, I will focus on the array formation skills. I wonder what grade I can reach."
Zhao Mu waved his hand and dismissed the spirit beasts.
The five spirit beasts were confused. They didn't know how they had spent the past two hours.
It felt like they were listening to a wordless heavenly book.
They had no choice but to listen. Zhao Mu really knew how to beat them.
A few days later.
Under Zhao Mu's perseverance, he finally broke through to become a fifth-grade array master.
Even a genius array master would need at least a hundred years of research to reach this level.
In addition, during the lesson, Zhao Mu discovered an interesting point.
Among the five spirit beasts, the little bastard was the smartest.
Its ability to learn and comprehend was not on the same level as the other four spirit beasts.
The other spirit beasts listened to his lesson and couldn't understand it at all.
However, the little bastard was really listening and learning attentively.
It could even use its little claws to scratch out lines of runes on the ground that were not very regular but were completely usable.
Given some more time, this little guy might really be able to condense a complete array formation and enter the ranks of array masters.
A few more days passed.
Zhao Mu finally became a sixth-grade array master.
The further he progressed, the more difficult it became.
The main reason was that he had too few disciples.
Furthermore, the value of the refund depended on the amount of knowledge imparted. It was mainly because of the little bastard that he was able to reach sixth-grade. The other four spirit beasts were stupid. The amount of refund was too little. Even if they triggered a higher refund, the effect was very limited.
In the future, he didn't need to waste time on these four spirit beasts. The little bastard focused on the array formation skills and the other four spirit beasts focused on elixirs.
"Looking at the time, the spirit of the empress should be fusing soon."
Zhao Mu stretched his body and walked to the empress's side. Seeing that the fluctuation of aura in her body was much smoother than before, it seemed like she was about to succeed.
At this moment, Empress Qing Yun suddenly sat up and opened her eyes.
As expected, he was punctual.
Just as Zhao Mu was about to congratulate her, Empress Qing Yun suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a cloud of blood.
Zhao Mu was stunned.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing that the empress was about to fall again, Zhao Mu hurriedly supported her.
"There's a small problem. Although my soul has reunited with my body, all the meridians in my body have closed. Just now, when I forcefully circulated my spirit energy, it caused my Qi and blood to shake and my heart to be damaged."
"Is it serious?" Zhao Mu asked worriedly.
"The damage to my heart meridian is only a minor injury. However, if I can't circulate my spiritual power, I will be no different from an ordinary person," the empress said. She looked a little uneasy.
Even when she was in the state of soul consciousness, she was still a powerhouse with the power to transcend the tribulation.
However, now that she had regained her physical body, she had no strength at all. The difference between before and after was quite difficult for her to accept.
"Empress, don't panic. This may only be temporary. After all, your body and spirit have been separated for so long. You need to give her some time to adapt. During this period, I will protect you well. At most, we will go to the Sword Immortal Pavilion a little later."
"No …"
Empress Qing Yun shook her head, "We can't wait any longer. Let's go to the Sword Immortal Pavilion now."
