Chapter 645: Chapter 516: Gluttonous Insect Monster, Ninth Level Prisoner (Part 1)
Soul pets that are much stronger than the Soul Pet Master will attempt to rebel and run away.
So, during the cultivation process, Soul Pet Masters often start by controlling the lowest-ranking servants, and then grow their soul pets step by step.
Nobody can control a high-level soul pet at the Soul Apprentice level, even if they possess one.
Therefore, major powers impose strict restrictions on the younger generation, and any Soul Pet Master must train themselves, rather than obtaining high-level soul pets from others. The major powers can only provide an environment for these young people to obtain high-level soul pets.
Chu Mu’s own strength can be said to have improved very quickly. On one hand, this is because Chu Mu has exceptional talent, and since childhood, his soul sense has been superior to others. On the other hand, the stimulating effects of the runaway girl and the White Nightmare Demon, which have high levels, have put Chu Mu’s soul sense in a continuous upgrade process.
It can be said that most of the strong people among the middle-aged generation are just at the Soul Lord level. Those who can reach the Soul Emperor level often become powerful overlords or people with high morals and prestige.
Being able to reach the Five Thought Soul Master at such a young age, Chu Mu could not find anyone higher than him among the second tier.
However, what Chu Mu didn’t expect was that his exceptional soul sense was still too weak for Mo Ye, and it actually limited Mo Ye’s race mutation.
“Fox Elder, if my Mo Ye were to mutate, would it only be possible for it to mutate when I reach the Soul Emperor level?” Chu Mu asked.
Mo Ye’s race mutation could potentially allow it to ascend to the Peak Monarch or even a quasi-Emperor level. If it really became a quasi-Emperor, wouldn’t Chu Mu have to become a Soul Emperor? That’s a distant dream.
“No need. Your Mo Ye itself is a perfect Commander in terms of race. Its next mutation can only be a Perfect Monarch. A Perfect Monarch is still a monarch. At that time, as long as you reach the Seven Thought Soul Master level, that is to upgrade your soul from medium thoughts to high thoughts, it usually won’t hinder its race mutation anymore… Young Master, you must be thinking of something practical. Your little fox had mutated once in the Western World. It’s already very rare and impossible for it to mutate again,” said Fox Elder.
“So all I have to do is reach the Seventh Level!” Chu Mu’s heart leaped with joy. Now, he had reached the level between Five Thoughts and Six Thoughts, and all he needed to do was to meditate for a few evenings to reach the Sixth Level.
Once he reached the Sixth Level, he would only be one step away from the Seventh Level. When he reached the Seventh Level, he would have a soul pet with a combat power level comparable to a quasi-Emperor!
At first, the main pet of the World Lord of the Zhanli Realm was just a quasi-Emperor, but as long as Chu Mu stepped into the Seventh Level, at least one of his soul pets could compete with a World Lord!
…
Thinking of Mo Ye mutating into a quasi-Emperor, Chu Mu felt a surging excitement. When he began to meditate, his confidence increased even more. He wanted to break through the bottleneck of the Fifth Level and step into the realm of the Sixth Level during this night.
The gap between the Sixth and Seventh Levels is not small. Unless Chu Mu had another soul pet with a sudden increase in strength, the process of upgrading from the original Fourth Level to the Fifth Level would take a few months, and by then, The World Decree would be over…
Chu Mu switched soul pets and used the soul-consuming Eighth-Level Soul Technique, consuming nearly half of his soul power. Now that Chu Mu’s soul sense has become stronger, it takes at least four days to fully recover his soul power, and it takes about two nights of meditation to recover the half that was consumed.
At this moment, Ye Qingzi’s soul power potion played a significant role. With this recovery speed, Chu Mu’s soul power might be fully restored before daylight.
It seemed that Chu Mu was stimulated by Ye Qingzi’s soul power potion. When his soul power was gradually filled to the brim, it continued to rise!
“There’s hope!” Chu Mu’s heart swelled with joy. He concentrated his soul sense into his soul, trying to elevate his own soul.
The azure glow gradually emerged from Chu Mu’s body and radioed outward. Ye Qingzi, who was sitting nearby, quickly noticed Chu Mu’s unusual state.
“Is it time for a promotion?” Ye Qingzi muttered to herself.
Then, Ye Qingzi took out another kind of soul power potion from her space ring.
This soul power potion is specially prepared for soul pet masters in the promotion stage. If consumed during the breakthrough process, it can significantly increase the success rate.
Ye Qingzi opened the deep blue potion bottle and communicated with Chu Mu through her soul sense, saying, “Drink this, it will help you upgrade.”
After saying this, Ye Qingzi sent the potion bottle to Chu Mu’s mouth.
Chu Mu mechanically opened his mouth, and Ye Qingzi held Chu Mu’s neck and slowly poured the potion into Chu Mu’s mouth.
Chu Mu was currently in a meditative state and could not focus on controlling his body, so the potion had to naturally slide down his throat and into his stomach.
After feeding Chu Mu the soul sense potion, Ye Qingzi carefully wiped the corner of Chu Mu’s mouth, then stared at him attentively, wondering what was going on…
Ye Qingzi’s potion has an effect on the body, and then it is transferred to the soul. Chu Mu indeed felt a strong force, pushing him towards the Sixth Level!
…
Daybreak cast its light, reflecting a dazzling sheen on the smooth rocks.
The deep azure glow on Chu Mu’s body gradually dissipated in the morning light as he slowly opened his eyes.
Catching his sight were strands of soft hair. Chu Mu tilted his head slightly, only to realize that Ye Qingzi had snuggled close to him at some point, sleeping soundly.
Ye Qingzi shared Chu Mu’s habit; they both meditated at night, only truly sleeping an hour or two as daylight approached.
Ye Qingzi slept deeply, as if she had no worries lying on Chu Mu’s shoulder, able to rest at ease.
A ray of sunlight shone down on Ye Qingzi’s beautiful face. Her sleeping visage had lost its usual cold and indifference, revealing a few strokes of a slumbering little woman. It was adorable yet seductive and left Chu Mu staring blankly at her for quite a while…
Ye Qingzi was not the type to oversleep either. As the sunlight hit her delicate face, she slowly opened her eyes.
Opening her eyes, she saw Chu Mu grinning cheekily at her, which instantly made Ye Qingzi blush. Her rosy cheeks looked even more enchanting and charming under sunlight.
“Did it work?” Ye Qingzi asked in a soft, low voice.
“Yes, I was one step away, and it would’ve taken a few more days at the very least. Your special elixir gave me a push,” Chu Mu replied with a smile.
“That’s the Soul Liquid. It can help promote the growth of Soul Sense,” explained Ye Qingzi.
“Now that I’m at the Sixth-level Thought, is there any Soul Liquid that can help me reach the Seventh Level within a short time?” Chu Mu asked, his eyes lighting up.
“It’s challenging to advance from the Sixth to Seventh Level solely with elixirs. However, indeed, some assistive Soul Liquids could help. If the strength of one of your soul pets increases significantly, it’s highly possible,” Ye Qingzi answered.
“Can you concoct such an elixir? What kind of spirit items do you need?” Chu Mu asked. Expensive elixirs undoubtedly require many materials.
“I have already concocted one bottle for myself. If you need it, I can give it to you,” Ye Qingzi said as she opened her Space Ring, took out a crystal red Soul Liquid, and handed it to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu hesitated and asked, “Did it take a long time for you to concoct this?”
No matter if it’s Soul Power elixirs or Soul Liquids, they are things money cannot buy. Especially the Soul Liquids that help Soul Pet Masters enhance their Soul Sense – Nine-Thought Soul Masters would pay a fortune to obtain such elixirs to break through to Soul Lord Level. Thus, Chu Mu understood how valuable these elixirs were.
“It doesn’t matter. I can still concoct more,” Ye Qingzi said with a faint smile.
“Qingzi, you’re always so kind to me. I feel ashamed because I haven’t given you anything…” Chu Mu met Ye Qingzi’s eyes and said.
Leaving the Demon Spirit House, Chu Mu shouldn’t be able to undergo half-demonization anymore. However, he managed to use it twice. These two instances had consequences that required Ye Qingzi’s help to dissolve. Otherwise, Chu Mu’s soul, which burned so intensely after all this time, would have driven him insane.
When Chu Mu mentioned this, Ye Qingzi blushed, unwilling to look others in the eye. In a soft, gentle voice, she said, “Just take a drop every time you meditate. Taking too much… may have adverse effects.”
“Alright, Qingzi, don’t worry. I’ll make sure to retrieve your teacher’s will for you,” Chu Mu promised. He felt this was the only way he could do something for Ye Qingzi, who had always provided him with unconditional support.
“But don’t push yourself too hard…” As Ye Qingzi spoke, she suddenly realized her change in attitude. She had initially desperately hoped that Chu Mu could secure the teacher’s will for her, as it contained something of great importance. Yet, for some reason, she no longer wished for Chu Mu to take any risks for this.
Ye Qingzi knew that Chu Mu would try his best to achieve anything he set his mind to. However, the second-tier experts were numerous, and she hoped that Chu Mu would act according to his abilities.
“As long as some people don’t interfere with me, I can handle the strong ones in the second tier,” Chu Mu assured her seriously.
Chu Mu was referring to Xia Guanghan and the puppet girl defector, who were truly his great enemies. As for the second-tier strong ones, Chu Mu remained confident in defeating them.
“Hoot~~~~~~ Hoot~~~~~~~~~”
Ye Qingzi was about to say something, but suddenly, her Purple Robe Dream Beast let out a shrill cry. This urgent cry explicitly indicated that danger was swiftly closing in!
Chu Mu immediately stood up and unleashed the Soul Sense of his Six-thought Soul Master!
After reaching the Sixth-level Thought, Chu Mu’s perception ability was much stronger than the Purple Robe Dream Beast’s and covered a wider range.
Shortly after, Chu Mu discovered that some unique creatures were wriggling under the sunlight…
Yet, when Chu Mu looked up, he couldn’t see any of these things at all! (
