Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 550 Awareness

"wrong!"

Just as greed was spreading crazily, Chu Mu seemed to have thought of something, and was startled. Looking at this vibrant place again, there was clearly a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

This vitality seems... so perfect.

The saying that things must be reversed when they reach their extremes is not an inevitable conclusion in the world of immortality, but it is basically as difficult as climbing to the sky to achieve the ultimate perfection in anything.

Just like weapon refining, even if he uses his weapon refining skills to refine an object, most of the time, it is impossible to achieve ultimate perfection. It can only be said to be relative perfection.

After all, pursuing the ultimate perfection in one aspect will inevitably lead to a lack of corresponding aspects in another aspect.

Whether it is a weapon refiner or an alchemist, one of the most important skills of almost every skill is to find this relatively perfect balance.

A person who can master this balance skillfully in a certain skill can never be called a mediocre person even if he cannot be called a master.

As for ultimate perfection…

Chu Mu stared closely at the vibrant scene controlled by the woman.

Looting, devouring, cultivating and refining can be used to defend oneself, protect one's path, and ultimately feed oneself...

No matter how you look at it, this seems to be the ultimate perfection!

But if you comb it carefully, this perfection, not to mention whether it is truly flawless, but at least its flaws are very obvious.

After all, this woman is only at the early stage of Jindan cultivation.

What she faced was endless sand-tailed scorpions, including second-level and even third-level sand-tailed scorpions.

The two are not of the same size at all.

Just like his Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation, even if the formation is set up, it can easily wipe out countless sand-tailed scorpions, but there is no doubt that the energy and energy consumed by the operation of the formation will even be the backlash suffered by killing the sand-tailed scorpions. , the core of everything lies in him.

In other words, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation can withstand the endless sand-tailed scorpions and can also kill countless foreign enemies. But he, who is the core of everything, obviously cannot withstand such consumption.

The vitality in front of him, the seemingly ultimate perfection, there is no doubt that this woman is at the core of it all.

No matter how perfect the cultivation of the golden elixir is in its early stage, it will never be perfect under such endless consumption.

This woman will definitely not last long.

With his thoughts at this point, Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and his expression became calmer.

With the special nature of this sand-tailed scorpion, he doesn't need to add anything to it. When everything is over, maybe he can just sit back and enjoy the results?

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it seems like reincarnation again.

After nine days of blazing sun, it was dark again.

However, this time the endless darkness did not include the majestic red and scorching ancient tower, but instead was filled with lush greenery and vitality that could not be covered for miles around.

The evolution in a few days was just as Chu Mu expected. This area was full of life and perfection, but the biggest flaw lay in this female cultivator.

The early stage of Jindan's cultivation obviously cannot sustain such extreme perfection, nor can it sustain such endless consumption.

With countless sand-tailed scorpions rushing forward one after another, this lush green area is obviously irresistible.

From the very beginning of tyrannical plundering, devouring, and wanton expansion, to this time of endless darkness, this vibrant area has been compressed to no more than two or three miles by the endless sand-tailed scorpions.

Moreover, this range is still shrinking.

It seems to be only a matter of time before the distance is completely eliminated.

Chu Mu still didn't move at all. Compared with this woman's situation, his own situation was obviously not much better.

Although he succeeded in concealing the truth, as long as this woman is still here struggling to support herself, he, or in other words, the sand-tailed scorpion he pretends to be, will have to stay under the control of the wave of will. Here, under the control of that wave of will.

The existence of the Deception Pill is just a pill, not a magic weapon with permanent effect. Its effect cannot last for long.

If the delay is too long and the effect of the medicine disappears, it is inevitable that his flawless disguise will be exposed. For him, it may be the recurrence of his nightmare.

"It can still last...five days."

Chu Mu felt the efficacy of the medicine bursting out of his dantian for a moment. His brows furrowed and his heart seemed to be filled with a bit of gloom.

"If fellow Taoist doesn't take action, the little girl will soon be unable to hold on."

At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the night sky.

In the midst of the vitality, the woman's face was pale, and she looked around, and another cry came out: "Fellow Taoist, in this trial in the desert sea, life will not end, and the killing will not stop. If the source of this killing is not destroyed, there will be endless killing! "

"The desert sea is endless, and the sand-tailed scorpions are endless. The original intention is to let the trialists experience a desperate situation of almost death. If the source is not destroyed, it is impossible to get out even to the edge of the desert sea!"

"Only by working together and destroying the source of the killing here can we survive this calamity!"

Chu Mu was slightly startled, and seemed a little unresponsive for a moment.

Immediately, he looked back sharply, towards the direction where he had originally set up the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation.

This place was only a few dozen miles away from the killing place where he was trapped.

In other words, if this woman had been here a long time ago, it would not be impossible for her to be aware of his presence.

"Endless killing..."

Chu Mu pursed his lips. The woman's words also circulated in his mind. He thought for a while, then raised his head to look at the dark night sky. He didn't dare to ignore that wave of will, which was still on his disguised sand-tailed scorpion body.

Even without this woman's reminder, he naturally knew very well that the source of all these killings was this wave of will.

That is... he guessed, or even concluded a piece of programmed logic.

To destroy the source of this killing, we must find the location of this programmed logic and destroy the carrier that carries this programmed logic.

And after he transformed into the Sand-Tailed Scorpion, it was the manipulation of programmed logic that undoubtedly clearly proved that the endless madness in front of him was also the result of the manipulation of programmed logic.

But now, he is only certain that behind all this is a rigorous and rigid programmed logic.

As for where this programmed logic is, what is the carrier that carries this programmed logic, and even whether there is a carrier, it is still an unknown thing, and it is still an unknown thing that is difficult to determine.

Chu Mu pondered for a moment and his eyes moved. When he once again fixed his gaze on the vibrant scene, the previous greed was gone, and his expression became obviously cloudy and uncertain.

According to his original expectation, he would naturally use such a disguise to escape from the desert sea and the endless swarm of sand-tailed scorpions.

With his flawless disguise, the endless tide of beasts was almost nothing to him.

Escape is definitely not difficult.

As long as you escape from this place, this life and death crisis will naturally disappear.

All of this has nothing to do with him.

But now, if we go by what this woman said...

In other words, his plan has been shattered before it was officially implemented...

Is this endless killing a trial? If you get into it, you can only... resist, you can't escape?

"Desert Sea Trial..."

Chu Mu frowned, and his expression became increasingly gloomy and uncertain.

Although he cannot be sure whether what this woman said is true or false, judging from the various strange situations he noticed when he entered this place, this possibility is not impossible. It can even be said that... it is very possible.

After all, from the moment he entered this place, there was endless killing without warning.

Moreover, this kind of killing was obviously aimed at his own cultivation, and it was almost perfect.

From the beginning to the end, there was no high-level sand-tailed scorpion that he could not resist. The few third-level sand-tailed scorpions were just programmed attacks. More, they were just for deterrence...

"Escape from death, so this is the glimmer of hope?"

Chu Mu sensed this wave of will. Even though the woman continued to speak out, almost directly stating his existence, there was no change in this wave of will.

He was still manipulating the sand-tailed scorpions in an orderly manner, killing this vibrant area.

Obviously, under this programmed logic, after he mysteriously disappeared, as long as he did not reappear, he was no longer within the target range of this programmed logic.

Currently, in this desert sea, only this foreign enemy, this woman, is its only target and its only mission.

Chu Mu didn't hesitate for too long. He raised his hand and found a blank jade slip hanging in his palm. As his consciousness flowed, messages were quickly imprinted on the jade slip.

In just a moment, this blank jade slip gradually became somewhat full of crystal clarity, and a large amount of information was imprinted in it with extremely clear clarity.

About a quarter of an hour later, when the last message was imprinted, Chu Mu looked at the vibrant area again.

He watched silently and waited silently.

Fighting will inevitably produce spiritual energy fluctuations, and when the spiritual energy fluctuations are strong enough to a certain extent, interference will inevitably occur.

This kind of interference will inevitably have a certain impact on the meaning of controlling the sand-tailed scorpion.

Just like the many sand-tailed scorpions that fell into a state of suspended animation under the isolation of his Nine Dragon Divine Fire Formation.

The fundamental reason is that the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation blocks the control of the sand-tailed scorpion by this wave of will.

At this moment, as if to match Chu Mu's possible response, the woman raised her hands to seal the secret, and emerald green crystals flowed around her body, falling one after another as the skirt danced.

This vibrant place, surrounded and consumed by endless sand-tailed scorpions, is like a flashback, with emerald green crystals all over the sky bursting out, illuminating the night sky in an instant.

Endless vitality evolution, countless various spiritual plants flourishing, and in just a short moment, the rolling waves of wood-type spiritual energy set off a turbulent wave of spiritual energy in this desert sea.

When this wave of wood attributes intertwined with the rich fire attribute spiritual energy of the desert sea and the endless spiritual energy fluctuations stirred by the sand-tailed scorpions, there was a sudden explosion of spiritual energy waves.

The endless dark sky is almost filled with brilliant interweaving.

Emerald green, fiery red, sandy yellow...

All the colors of spiritual energy bloom in the night sky.

In this chaotic moment, a jade slip passed silently across the sky, and finally disappeared into the vibrant land, completely disappearing.
