Chapter 431 - 337: Reforging a Sixty-Year Cycle—I’m Not in the Mood to Compete with You Three; Next, I Will Control the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool!
"Start with the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool..."
"Use the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool to take my first step on the Path of the Grandmaster, then devour as much Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid as possible to accumulate strength."
Thinking of this.
Su Mu slightly raised his eyes, and the invisible Spiritual Power spread out. He saw Miaomiao, who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom on the second floor, curled up like a little kitten.
Just across the wall, Xiaoyue was also curled up, holding a shrunken Foodie doll while sleeping.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Su Mu’s mouth slightly curved upward, revealing a doting smile. As he took a deep breath, his deep eyes became even firmer.
A faint glow flickered, erasing the blood marks of backlash on Su Mu’s body.
He quietly walked out of the Cultivation Room.
"Let’s go."
...
Rumble.
The iron giant suddenly started running, shaking the ground as it transported several people on the surface into the Giant Beast Cave.
"Su Mu General Star, this time we’re headed for the Third Floor, this elevator can take us directly..."
"Crossing each floor will encounter a World Membrane, during which gravity will increase tremendously..."
The voice abruptly stopped.
A school officer’s expression changed slightly, his face turning pale, and he immediately held his breath.
Within several breaths, the elevator suddenly plummeted nearly a kilometer, and only then did Su Mu feel the surrounding gravity suddenly increase several times over.
"A descent of a thousand meters is just the first floor of the Giant Beast Cave. Indeed, it is a Giant Beast Cave."
"Moreover, the deepest part of the Yun Province Beast Cave has gravity only seven or eight times normal, but the Giant Beast Cave, just between the first and second floors, has a moment where gravity is nearly tenfold."
Su Mu’s eyes slightly flickered. This level of gravity change was something he could now completely ignore, but he couldn’t help feeling some suspicion in his heart.
Even just from this first floor, one could glimpse the terrifying depths of the Giant Beast Cave.
The officers riding the elevator alongside him saw Su Mu as if nothing had happened, and their hearts trembled. Their gazes toward Su Mu were filled with more respect.
"The gravity on the Third Floor is about eight times normal, which is equivalent to the depths of a Medium-sized Beast Cave."
Blood Eagle Warriors cleared the way.
Soon, below appeared a giant area shrouded in thick fog.
Seeing this, Su Mu’s eyes slightly contracted. This scene reminded him of that Giant Soul Inheritance Ground in the Yun Province Beast Cave.
However, the range of the foggy area before him was slightly smaller.
Soon Su Mu’s thoughts were interrupted by two vigorous, towering fluctuations of Qi and Blood from below. If the Qi and Blood of an ordinary Great Grandmaster condensed into a Flood Dragon, then these two currents of Qi and Blood were like giant Flood Dragons ready to Overturn Rivers and Inverted Seas from the abyss.
Each stream of Qi and Blood was majestic and powerful, even among the numerous soldiers of the Southern War Zone; it couldn’t be concealed.
"Marshal Yue, Su Mu General Star is here."
"Marshal Yue!"
Su Mu saluted, his eyes focused not far away.
At the entrance to the fog-covered area, several massive instruments engraved with mysterious Inscription were arrayed, exuding a rich silver Spatial Energy.
At this moment, thousands of warriors were continually infusing Qi and Blood into the instruments, which then dispersed the fog to create a small space portal leading to the Land of Ruins out of thin air.
"This is the Bone Marrow Cleansing Order. When necessary, infuse it with Qi and Blood, and we outside the ruins will sense it. We will then open a space passage for you four to leave the Land of Ruins."
Marshal Yue waved, and an iron order inscribed with a giant fell into the hands of the four.
As Su Mu appeared, two powerful streams of Qi and Blood he had sensed before approached. One was in green and the other in white.
Ye Wuhen of the Ye Family.
Ximen Gu of the Sword Pavilion.
"Su Mu, since we last parted at Celestial Cloud Mountain, you’ve become even stronger. Wait until you’re a Grandmaster, then let’s battle!" Ye Wuhen’s gaze fell on Su Mu. He found it increasingly difficult to see through the person before him.
"Count me in." Ximen Gu smiled as he approached.
At this moment.
A muffled voice resounded across the sky.
"Since you want to fight, why not choose me as your opponent?"
Soon, a figure descended from the Blood Eagle, causing the ground to quake. After the earth shook, a sturdy soldier appeared.
Seeing the newcomer, Ximen Gu let out a light ’Eh,’ while Ye Wuhen immediately shifted his gaze from Su Mu, intently focusing on the newcomer, ignoring Su Mu.
"It’s actually you?!"
"Interesting, I didn’t expect you, Qin Heng, to have been in the Southern War Zone all these years..."
The newcomer strode quickly, first raising an arm like a steel blade to salute Marshal Yue. "Marshal Yue."
Qin Heng?
Su Mu’s eyes slightly flickered, surprised. The war zone truly hid unnoticed talents. This man’s Qi and Blood were in no way inferior to those of Ye Wuhen and Ximen Gu.
In terms of pure Qi and Blood, Qin Heng even surpassed Ye Wuhen and Ximen Gu by a slight margin.
"Ye Wuhen, Ximen Gu, long time no see."
As his words fell, from Qin Heng’s center, a terrifying heat flashed and vanished, abruptly releasing a brilliant red light. The surrounding Fire Elements surged, and the temperature skyrocketed to several hundred degrees in an instant.
A single thread of Energy raised the surrounding temperature by several hundred degrees. This terrifying power drew gazes of admiration from the surrounding soldiers.
Qin Heng, who had been dormant for over a decade, might have been forgotten by outsiders, but the soldiers of the Southern War Zone present here would not forget.
This was their Southern War Zone’s General Star, Qin Heng!
Feeling Qin Heng’s presence, the Battle Intent flared up in Ye Wuhen’s and Ximen Gu’s eyes, and then equally terrifying auras erupted from the two.
At this moment, a silver-haired figure stepped into their confrontation space, and instantly the three auras dissipated as Marshal Yue spoke calmly.
"Time is of the essence, now that you four are here, let’s begin."
Marshal Yue effortlessly suppressed the three’s aura, causing Ye Wuhen and Ximen Gu to tense up. Indeed, those who could vie for the Martial Saint are extraordinary in strength.
"Qin Heng, let’s battle when we come out, but before that, see you at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool!"
Saying this, Ye Wuhen was the first to step into the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool.
Ximen Gu glanced at Qin Heng, smiled, and also entered the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool.
Qin Heng couldn’t hide his Battle Intent; these two were very strong indeed, but the stronger the opponent, the more exciting it was.
And he also grasped the implied meaning in Ye Wuhen’s words.
The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool is also a competition!
A contest among the three of them.
As Qin Heng was about to step in, he suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at Su Mu, "Su Mu General Star, hello, I’m Qin Heng, also from the Southern War Zone."
"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can let me know."
After speaking, Qin Heng strode into the fog.
Neither Ye Wuhen, Ximen Gu, nor Qin Heng, none of the three seemed to consider Su Mu a competitor in this Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool.
This was not only the thinking of the three but also the idea in the hearts of all the warriors present except the Blood Eagle Warriors.
In their view, even if Su Mu had exceptional talent, he was still just a Sixth Level Martial Artist.
In the future, Su Mu might match or even surpass these three.
But at present, Su Mu was far from being able to compete with the three.
This time he was merely an outsider.
"Su Mu, there’s no need to feel pressured. Qin Heng and those three have long since become Grandmasters. This time, you need not focus on any of them; your only opponent is always yourself..."
"Just do your best to absorb as much Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid as you can. The more you absorb, the more it will benefit your future in Martial Arts."
"I believe in you."
A voice carrying encouragement resonated in his ears. Su Mu knew this was from Marshal Yue.
"That’s good,... "
"Since Marshal Yue has spoken so, I need not hold back anything..."
"Ye Wuhen of the Ye Family..."
"Ximen Gu of the Sword Pavilion..."
"General Star Qin Heng?"
"I don’t have much time left, nor the leisure to compete with you three. Next..."
"I want to control the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool; here will be the start of my Su Mu’s Path to becoming a Supreme Grandmaster!"
With his back to everyone, Su Mu maintained a calm expression, stepping steadily into the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool.
