Chapter 812: Chapter 679: Four Months of Closed-door Cultivation, Advancing to Soul Emperor!
Soon, four months had passed.
In these four months, Chu Mu had successfully strengthened the Ghost Dome King, Wind-binding Spirit, and Zhan Ye to the peak Monarch level, while roughly 200 billion Gold Coins were also nearly depleted.
During this time, Chu Mu had been focusing on strengthening his Soul Pets and meditating quietly.
Chu Mu’s two Soul Pets had already reached the Emperor level, and combined with his powerful half-demon blood, it could be said that he now lacked any obstacles.
Breaking through to the Soul Emperor level was merely a matter of meditating and time. Thus, in these four months, Chu Mu had been meditating and forcing a breakthrough.
Chu Mu’s urgency in breaking through to the Soul Emperor level was partly because he genuinely needed to strengthen his Demon Tree Warrior, but also because the little Hiding Dragon, whose growth speed was astonishing, had reached the Sixth Rank Seventh Stage.
If Chu Mu can’t reach the level of Soul Emperor, once Little Hiding Dragon evolves to the seventh rank, it might grow independent and fly away on it’s own.
Therefore, the ability to break through to the Soul Emperor level is extremely important to Chu Mu.
“Young master, after these four months of quiet cultivation, your Soul Sense is nearly at the peak of the Soul Lord level. You can try using the Spirit Items that Ye Qingzi left for you to increase your Soul Sense level and make a breakthrough to the Soul Emperor level in one go.” Master Li felt that Chu Mu had already made sufficient preparations for the breakthrough to the Soul Emperor level.
Chu Mu had spent a full four months in closed-door cultivation, and also had the Spirit Items left by Ye Qingzi which could be used to raise a Soul Pet Master’s Soul Sense level. The probability of a successful breakthrough was very high.
That evening, when Chu Mu’s Soul Power was at its most abundant, he began his breakthrough.
“Bless me with success.” Holding the elixir that Ye Qingzi had given him, Chu Mu muttered a prayer.
Last time Chu Mu thought of Ye Qingzi for a while and somehow advanced from Eight Thoughts to Nine Thoughts. This time he sought to replicate that success, hoping Ye Qingzi could continue to bring him good fortune.
Thinking of his imminent entry into the ranks of real strong ones, Chu Mu couldn’t help but become a bit excited. Especially when he thought about how once he reached the level of Soul Emperor, his Demon Tree Warrior and Wind-binding Spirit could also quickly advance to the Emperor level, his heart surged with emotion.
After taking a deep breath, Chu Mu finally swallowed the Spirit Items, closed his eyes immediately, and entered a state of cultivation.
…
…
“Are you sure he lives here?” Outside the courtyard, Elder Tu from the Great Chu Noble Family and another middle-aged man slowly approached. The man raised an eyebrow, looking at the seemingly ordinary courtyard.
“He’s in closed-door cultivation. I don’t know if he’ll meet with us.” Elder Tu said.
“Hmph, this Chu Chen sure is full of himself. We’ve visited three or four times just last month, and he didn’t even give us the time of day. Elder Tu, if we don’t meet him this time, I’m going to barge in. Even if he has an Emperor-level Soul Pet, he’s still a junior and shouldn’t be so arrogant as to ignore everyone! What’s more, I’ve heard rumors that he cheated to get that ultimate honor. After all, that Emperor-level Soul Pet appeared out of nowhere.” The middle-aged man said indignantly.
“Chu Tianxing, don’t be impulsive. As Soul Pet Masters, the thing we dislike the most is being disturbed during our closed-doors cultivation.” Elder Tu said in a low voice.
“I don’t care about that! Count how many times we’ve been here!” Chu Tianxing responded dismissively.
Last month, Chu Tianxing had come to visit. Despite having been denied entrance three or four times, Chu Tianxing’s patience was wearing very thin.
“Let me go and ask. There’s no rush.” Naturally, Elder Tu was aware that they couldn’t afford to offend Chu Mu, so he quickly moved to the front.
“Hmph, wait.” Chu Tianxing was a reckless kind of person. This time he was so angry that he didn’t even care about Elder Tu’s attempts to stop him and directly barged into the courtyard Chu Mu and Chu Tianren had bought in Wogu City.
This was where Chu Mu and Chu Tianren live. In the evenings, Chu Tianren would always go where he needed to be, while Chu Mu would be immersed in cultivation. Apart from a housemaid who did the cleaning and cooking, there were no other people in the house.
Chu Tianxing storming in so aggressively scared the little maid who ran straight to her hiding place, too frightened to come out.
Chu Tianxing quickly found Chu Mu’s room, grumbling as he walked, “What’s the big deal about having some quiet time? Will it kill him to stop for a moment? I want to see what the first place winner of the World Competition, who’s so full of himself, really looks like!”
Having said that, Chu Tianxing had finally reached the door to Chu Mu’s room. With a big push, the door creaked but was forcefully opened!
“Unacceptable! This just isn’t done!” Elder Tu rushed over, forcibly pulling Chu Tianxing back.
However, after opening the door, Chu Tianxing didn’t set foot in, but just stood there looking surprisingly at the young man seated with his legs crossed on the cold floor.
Elder Tu was also shocked. He fixed his gaze on Chu Mu, stunned to find that Chu Mu’s body was shrouded in some unknown force. This force looked like fire shadows or speckled starlight, making Chu Mu’s body seem slightly ethereal.
“What is this…” Chu Tianxing was dumbfounded, he could feel the other party’s Soul Sense shrouding the entire room.
However, Chu Tianxing, a Nine Thoughts spirit Soul Master, clearly felt a tremendous pressure from this Soul Sense, which robbed him of his courage to take a single step forward!
Soul Emperor level Spirit Power!!
Chu Tianxing already is a Nine Thoughts Soul Master, the only one who could surpass his soul sense would be a Soul Emperor!
What was completely incomprehensible to him was that the powerful Soul Emperor level Soul Sense genuinely came from a youth who appeared to be just in his twenties!!
At this moment, Chu Mu also slowly opened his eyes, staring at Chu Tianxing, who had suddenly barged into his room.
Chu Tianxing immediately felt himself being fixed under a gaze. A Nine Thoughts spirit Soul Master being locked on would at most result in a strong spiritual pressure, but what caused Chu Tianxing to break out in a cold sweat was that the Evil Fox Lord with her indifferent demeanor was opening her exotic eyes from the shadows next to the room, her gaze just as sharply fixated on Chu Tianxing!
Chu Tianxing was very clear that if he dared to take a step forward, the Emperor-level Fox Monarch would pounce out and directly rip apart his throat with her claws. His spirit locked by the Soul Emperor’s Sense, he wouldn’t even have time to call out for his Soul Pet before he would be instantly killed!
“Young Master, Young Master, it’s me, Elder Tu. This is…..This is the deputy Family Head of the Great Chu noble family – Chu Tianxing, who has made a visit specially to see you,” Elder Tu’s heart also stirred tremendously. After all, just a few months prior, he had noticed that Chu Mu was a Soul Lord but now, Chu Mu had unexpectedly entered the realm of the Soul Emperor!
Hearing Elder Tu’s voice, Chu Mu addressed him with a nod and waved his hand to indicate Mo Ye to disregard the hostility.
The exotic gaze in Mo Ye’s eyes gradually dulled. She took a step forward and slowly walked to Chu Mu’s side, lightly licking the palm of his hand with her tongue.
After Mo Ye got rid of her hostility, Chu Tianxing became completely disoriented and nearly collapsed.
The feeling of being stared at by an Emperor was simply too terrible. He felt so small that he couldn’t even summon the thought of resistance, only infinite fear.
After taking deep breaths for a long time and all the pressure disappearing, Chu Tianren eventually somewhat calmed down, his eyes full of disbelief, he cautiously asked, “You…. have you advanced to a Soul Emperor?”
“Yes, I just succeeded. If you had come a few minutes earlier, you would have died outside the courtyard.” Chu Mu said lightly.
A few minutes prior, Chu Mu was in the most crucial part of his breakthrough. At that time, Mo Ye directly extended her sensory abilities to cover all creatures within a hundred meters of Chu Mu that harbored hostility against him. Anyone who dared to disturb was certain to die!
Chu Tianxing’s face as pale as a corpse, didn’t dare to speak another word.
The other party was a true Soul Emperor now. Facing such a powerful figure, how could he show any disrespect, especially after experiencing the life-and-death scenario just now.
“What can I do for you?” Chu Mu asked.
“Ah, well, it’s like this,” Elder Tu immediately snapped back to reality and hastily said, “Our Great Chu noble family has welcomed many distinguished guests from the Soul Hall. The Family Head heard that Young Master Chu is also in Wogu City, and he wishes to meet you many times in order to extend his hospitality. In a few days time, there will be a grand banquet hosted by our Great Chu noble family and we hope you will also attend. If Young Master could attend, it would indeed be an honor for our Great Chu noble family.”
“Alright, I’ll be there.” Chu Mu nodded, giving Elder Tu some face. As for that Chu Tianxing, Chu Mu didn’t have any good feelings about him.
Chu Mu didn’t have a good feeling for Chu Tianxing because one, the guy dared to barge into his room, and two, because of his father Chu Tianmang. It was obvious that Chu Tianxing must be his father’s brother. However, since Chu Tianmang wasn’t willing to consider these people as family, how could he possibly treat them with respect?
“Then…then we won’t disturb Young Master anymore……Also, congratulations on your promotion.” Elder Tu hastily said.
“Congratulations, congratulations…” Chu Tianxing said with a stiff smile on his face.
Afterward, Elder Tu hastily pulled Chu Tianxing away, fearing that he would inadvertently upset Chu Mu by causing him further trouble. After all, Chu Tianxing had nearly committed the mortal sin of disturbing a cultivator’s period of seclusion.
After leaving the courtyard, Chu Tianxing was still panicked, his walk a little unsteady.
He lowered his voice and said to Elder Tu: “He’s a Soul Emperor now! Those guys previously said that Chu Mu only relied on a single Emperor-level Soul Pet when talking about him!!”
Most people in the World City knew that Chu Mu was originally a Soul Lord with only intermediate Monarch level power. However, due to the sudden emergence of an Emperor-level Soul Pet, Chu Mu fought all the way to the top tier, ultimately becoming the glorious champion.
Therefore, there were still some among the major powers who believed that Chu Mu was suspected of cheating and that his true strength couldn’t possibly reach the level of a Soul Emperor.
Only after hearing this news did Chu Tianxing dare to be disrespectful.
As a result of his disrespect, he almost lost his life. In his heart, he cursed the person who had given him this piece of rotten news a million times, but now the other party had truly become a Soul Emperor.
That Emperor-level Soul Pet was also a real Emperor-level Soul Pet, and it was clear that, whether he summoned a Soul Pet or not, Chu Tianxing would have been killed instantly along with his pet!
