Chapter 1374 1237 The Burial Ground of Pride

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1237: The Burial Ground of Pride Chapter 1374: Chapter 1237: The Burial Ground of Pride Morning Crown Prince helped Chu Mu to sit down under the tree, allowing Chu Mu to adjust himself.

Chu Mu’s breathing gradually lengthened from its original shortness, but with each breath he could still feel a faint ache in his heart.

He closed his eyes, entering a meditative state, focusing on sensing the Seventh Soul.

The thread of soul between the spirits had already broken, and seeing that torn break, Chu Mu’s heart felt even worse.

All soul pets struggle for survival; under the laws of nature, every life is extremely fragile. If they do not learn to avoid powerful creatures and terrible disasters, they can be eliminated by these natural laws at any time.

What Chu Mu could not accept was, why would Ye also be eliminated by these natural laws?

Ye was brought out by him from Prison Island, it had followed him for over a decade, free, unrestrained, wild, and ruthless. As Chu Mu’s mount, it indeed fought less than other soul pets, but this could not erase its will to battle from its heart!

It had a heart that sought after freedom, a heart of the strong, and even more so, a heart of loyalty.

Such a creature, which knew how to survive in a world of the strong, how could it be easily eliminated by the laws of nature?

Chu Mu’s heart would sometimes be calm and sometimes tumultuous…

Only after a long time did Chu Mu’s heart finally settle down completely.

He used his Soul Sense to enter his Seventh Soul Contract; this soul contract space had been empty for who knows how many years, and inside it still carried some unique smells from the jungle on the island.

Chu Mu could no longer bear to look at that strand of broken soul thread, yet even if Ye was eliminated by nature, Chu Mu urgently wanted to know where it was now buried.

Chu Mu collected his disordered emotions, trying to use this broken soul contract to find where Ye now resided.

This kind of sensing was actually very weak, requiring a large amount of mental strength.

Chu Mu concentrated his mind, pouring his Soul Sense into the broken soul thread…

…

“Chu Mu, are you okay?” Princess Jinrou approached Chu Mu, asking softly.

Chu Mu slowly opened his eyes, his pale face also recovering, his expression unchanged as usual, but one could see that his eyes were somewhat dim.

“Much better, I’ve found the rough location where it’s buried, I want to go and see,” said Chu Mu.

Morning Crown Prince did not know what to say now, the loss of a soul pet was like the departure of family, a feeling that was truly hard to articulate.

“Then let’s go with you to have a look,” suggested Xia Zhixian.

Chu Mu shook his head, saying, “You guys continue searching for the Island Stone, this road is a bit long… But I won’t go for too long, I will rejoin you after collecting its bones.”

Having said that, Chu Mu walked towards another direction of the jungle on his own.

Morning Crown Prince was still very worried about Chu Mu, seeing Chu Mu leave alone, he wanted to follow.

At this moment, Xia Zhixian held back Morning Crown Prince, whispering, “He just wants to be alone for a while, let’s not disturb him.”

Xia Zhixian watched Chu Mu’s retreating figure, faintly recalling the image of him kneeling on the Wanxiang Plain under everyone’s gaze, waiting to receive a Black Battle Tiger.

At that time, Xia Zhixian was present, and even in a state of hostility, she could still feel the soul pet master’s most sincere spirit. And now, seeing his firm and upright figure, the piece missing from his soul made others sincerely feel…

…

Many times, Chu Mu felt that if there was no direction, that sense of confusion would drive one mad, because a person without any destination was already a lonely wanderer.

Now, Chu Mu knew where to go, but the destination caused his emotions to be in extreme turmoil.

Passing through countless jungles, the similarity of the jungles on the island always plunged Chu Mu into memories.

Day and night passed, the fog spread and then dissipated, and before he realized it, Chu Mu had reached the central area of the island.

The Demon Tomb has a very obvious elevation difference. The initial landing spot was just a bit higher than the sea level, with a flat terrain and occasional island rivers connecting to the sea.

After entering a certain distance, the terrain would suddenly rise, the height of the rise perhaps one to two thousand meters, looking similar to the plateaus on land, and then the land ahead is still flat, but indeed one to two thousand meters above the sea level.

Chu Mu was now at an elevation of about one to two thousand meters, and looking back, one could see a vast expanse of green land just beneath oneself, with the ocean’s rolling waves at the far end of the land.

The setting sun fell before Chu Mu, its lingering light filtering through the dusk and unfurling like a long red carpet across the tiered islands to the ocean behind him.

Chu Mu turned and glanced back, but within the brilliance of the setting sun, he saw a graceful, long-haired woman.

Her vivid glow reflected upon her, turning her white gossamer dress vivid and vibrant. At that moment, Chu Mu seemed to see her gorgeous, dewy cheeks and her smooth, full skin.

Chu Mu transfixedly stared at her for a long time.

However, as the setting sun was obscured by the island’s high terrain, the glow gradually faded from her, and her figure returned to a semi-transparent, bluish hue, her dress still pale and empty.

“Have you been following me all this time?” Chu Mu managed a wry smile.

Princess Jinrou seemed a bit constrained, lowering her head and fiddling with the corner of her sleeve, saying, “I… I was worried about you.”

Chu Mu couldn’t quite remember how many days he had been walking alone; during such a lengthy time, Chu Mu never looked back, not until the setting sun’s light made him realize that this girl had been silently following behind him for so many days, not daring to disturb him.

Seeing Princess Jinrou’s uneasy expression, a smile surfaced on Chu Mu’s face, he comforted himself, saying, “Don’t worry, perhaps there are still some odd places here, as Master Li said.”

“Yes,” Princess Jinrou nodded heavily.

“Let’s go,” Chu Mu urged Princess Jinrou to follow him.

“Okay,” Princess Jinrou floated to Chu Mu’s side.

“Did you just use the Mind Reading Technique on me?”

“No, why?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

…

…

Continuing their journey, as they reached around three thousand meters in altitude, Chu Mu gradually noticed that there were more Demon Spirits appearing around them.

These Demon Spirits always hid behind trees, rocks, in tree crowns, or caves, then watched from afar as Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou entered their territory.

Their levels seemed to be around the Emperor level, which didn’t pose too much of a threat to Chu Mu.

“This island’s resource of Demon Spirits is exceptionally abundant. Any creature that steps onto this Demon Tomb has to be at least of the Emperor level, and even those not of the Emperor level, if they manage to survive here long enough, will one day step into the Emperor level,” floated the voice of Master Li. “The most important thing is, this is the largest Demon Spirit Holy Land; common Demon Spirits can enhance their strength by finding various Spirit Items and Xuan Objects on the island, and as for the Wandering Spirits, as long as they can push through this path, it will be of great benefit to their strength.”

“What do you mean by ‘push through this path’?” Chu Mu asked, not understanding.

“Young Master, when you entered the island, wasn’t the terrain continually rising level by level?”

“Yeah, I have some impression of that,” Chu Mu nodded.

“That’s it. Each level represents a class of Demon Spirits. The outermost level belongs to the bottom tier Demon Spirits of this Demon Tomb island; they reside in areas roughly parallel to the sea level. As you go further up, around one thousand to two thousand meters above sea level, the aura of Demon Spirits becomes even thicker here, and even a Servant-level Creature that breaks into this height can become an Emperor level. Next up is the three thousand to five-thousand-meter altitude area. In this region, the aura of Demon Spirits is richer; Wandering Spirits can gain enormous benefits here. If Ye were a mid-to-high-grade Emperor when it stepped into this zone, it wouldn’t need half a year to become an Invincible Emperor!”

Princess Jinrou stood to the side, looking thoughtful as she surveyed her surroundings and spoke to Master Li, “We should be nearing the three to five-thousand-meter altitude area now, right?”

“Correct. Any Demon Spirit habitat forms a vast community, and the members need to gain mutual acceptance within this community; only then you are qualified to live and cultivate on this piece of land.”

“And to gain acceptance, you must show your strength! Young Master, now that your strength has reached the Dominator level, any Demon Spirits in this area naturally recognize you, so they won’t hinder your advance. However, the moment Young Master steps into a region where they don’t recognize you, strong Demon Spirits will appear.”

Chu Mu nodded, his gaze looking into the distance at a larger island, shrouded in dense mist.

As Ye lay buried deeper on the island, it meant that when it first set foot on this land years ago, it made its way down level by level, continually seeking other Demon Spirits’ recognition and growing in strength.

Initially, it must have been at the Emperor level, which, while dominant elsewhere, was the lowest tier in this Demon Tomb.

Chu Mu could imagine the doubt and scorn in the eyes of the Demon Spirits on the island when Ye first entered.

But Chu Mu could also imagine how deep, calm, and resolute Ye’s black pupils were at that time; otherwise, its burial site would not be located so high up the three to five-thousand-meter altitude area.

Given Ye’s pride, even in death, it would not allow itself to be buried at the bottom of an island!

Chu Mu even had a premonition that the place where it was buried was likely an area that even he might not easily step into now, because Chu Mu could sense that its burial site was still very high and far from him!
