Chapter 1361: Imprint Valley, Sacred Cultivation Ground

“Hmph, wasn’t he uninterested in the competition?” sneered Tang Zhuo.

“Is he after the benefits of the Northern Territory?” Tang Ang was startled. He had never imagined that that guy had picked such a condition!

“What do you think?” asked Madam Gao.

Tang Ang was the host of this competition, so he could certainly have Chu Mu participate.

“I agree. However, the other factions may not allow him to get involved in the finals, but if they were to agree......” Tang Ang was not worried about Tang Zhuo losing.

Furthermore, Tang Ang was not really interested in the Northern Territory. Someone like him who was about to retire would also lose their interest in authority.

“Then I would have to trouble you to make the trip,” Madam Gao smiled.

Tang Ang sighed and inquired Tang Zhuo, “That guy had a conflict with Han Erxing just now, right?”

“Yes,” Tang Zhuo nodded.

“Very good,” Tang Ang grinned.

Actually, it would be enough for him to convince just the Divine Sect to agree to Chu Mu’s participation.

Since Han Erxing and Chu Mu had a conflict previously, then Han Erxing would surely be eager to fight with him, naturally agreeing to let him participate in the competition.

......

Tang Zhuo returned to his participant seat.

Xin Xin had noticed Tang Zhuo’s change in expression and chuckled, “What’s wrong? You look worried.”

Tang Zhuo replied, “My Master gave me an opponent.”

Xin Xin asked, “In this Outstanding Experts Competition?”

Tang Zhuo nodded and purposely took a glance in Chu Mu’s direction, revealing a sneer.

“That guy again?” asked Xin Xin as he noticed the gesture.

“Yes, it’s him,” Tang Zhuo nodded.

Xin Xin curved the corner of his lips, “Wouldn’t it be more interesting if he participates then? Didn’t he say that the Outstanding Experts Competition is just a bunch of kids fooling around?”

Tang Zhuo also grinned. He obviously would not tell Xin Xin about the matter of the Imprint Valley. If Xin Xin also started competing for that qualification, then Tang Zhuo would have an even greater headache to deal with.

When Han Erxing was notified of the participation of Chu Mu from New Moon Land, he couldn't control his excitement.

He had been wondering how he could cause harm to Chu Mu, to think that Chu Mu would come looking for trouble himself. Han Erxing eagerly supported Tang Ang’s suggestion to allow Chu Mu to participate in the competition, and even took the initiative to convince his father.

Today’s disqualification matches were over. The eight participants either won or lost. The most eye-catching match of the day was the battle between Xin Xin and Lu Fenxue.

The next most anticipated match would be the encounter between Han Erxing, Xin Xin and Tang Zhuo. Which amongst the three would be the eventual winner was a hot topic that everyone had been debating over recently.

......

Night fell, Chu Mu was meditating as usual.

His spot on the bed was occupied by Ning Maner. If he just slept with them, Ye Qingzi would probably be very unhappy with him.

Recently, Ye Qingzi’s mood has been terrible, it was naturally due to what Chu Mu had told her.

Ye Qingzi had let Ning Maner stay to sleep on the same bed. Whether that was purposely done to distance herself and punish Chu Mu, only Ye Qingzi herself knew the answer.

Ning Maner popped her head out from under the blanket and asked, “Big sis, what’s wrong? You look troubled.”

Ye Qingzi was feeling quite troubled in her heart. She peered at Ning Maner’s pure eyes.

Since hiding it would do no good to her, Ye Qingzi whispered, “Xiao Maner, if your big brother starts liking someone else......”

“Ah?” Ning Maner was a little shocked.

Ye Qingzi hurriedly covered Ning Maner’s mouth and whispered, “Don’t let him hear us.”

“Oh, oh, who else does big brother like?” asked Ning Maner.

“You may not have met her before. Xiao Maner, what should I do? He’s being so frustrating. I had already pretended that I did not know anything, but he just had to confess everything to me. I don't know what to do anymore now,” pouted Ye Qingzi as she spoke.

Ye Qingzi had a sensitive mind, she knew Chu Mu better than anyone else. If Chu Mu told her that he had not a trace of feelings towards Princess Jin Rou, then she was absolutely certain that he was lying.

Chu Mu would not lie to her, but that did not mean that Ye Qingzi wanted Chu Mu to tell her the truth either.

In the end, Chu Mu had told her what he had to. He felt refreshed and did not need to worry about anything anymore. Meanwhile, Ye Qingzi had fallen into a dilemma: Should she take a tough attitude towards him? Or should she be lenient with him?

Ye Qingzi's thoughts were completely occupied by this matter and she was at a complete loss, she could only ask Ning Maner for help. Although Ning Maner might not understand such things well, Ye Qingzi just wanted a person who could at least hear her complaints.

Ning Maner was just about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open softly.

Chu Mu entered the room and spoke to Ning Maner, “Maner, return to your room to sleep. I have some things to discuss with Qingzi.”

“Ok,” Ning Maner got up. Her room was just next door so it only took her a few steps.

When passing by Chu Mu, Ning Maner secretly whispered something to Chu Mu's ear.

Chu Mu nodded and closed the door behind him.

Ye Qingzi did not get up from the bed and just turned her back to Chu Mu. He could see she still had an icy attitude through this.

“I can’t concentrate and meditate,” Chu Mu walked to the bed and pulled a corner of the blanket as he said this.

“Face the wall and reflect, don’t get on the bed,” Ye Qingzi wrapped herself with the blanket grumpily, forbidding Chu Mu from touching her.

“Oh,” Chu Mu nodded and went to face the wall without getting on the bed.

Ye Qingzi took a peek at Chu Mu while she was wrapping herself in the blanket. When she saw that he was really facing the wall to reflect, she was left speechless.

Ye Qingzi had to admit that Chu Mu was really dumb when it came to such matters!

Ye Qingzi suppressed her emotions and calmly said, “Speak if you have something to say to me, or I will be going to sleep.”

“I don’t know what to say either,” said Chu Mu helplessly as he faced the wall.

Ye Qingzi pulled up the blanket, turned to the side and went to sleep. In reality, there was no way that she could fall asleep. There was a grudge in her heart that she hoped Chu Mu could help her relieve. However, Chu Mu’s words and actions only worsened the grudge in her heart.

If you don’t know what to say, then why did you come here?!

Ye Qingzi was already very troubled in her mind, yet Chu Mu was adding on to the problem.

A nice fragrance wafted in from the window and entered Ye Qingzi’s nose.

She was already quite familiar with that fragrance. She took a glance outside the window and told Chu Mu, “Yu Suo is in the garden.”

“I know, let her wait,” said Chu Mu.

“Do you want to know what I’m thinking?” asked Ye Qingzi.

“Yes,” Chu Mu nodded.

He really wanted to know what Ye Qingzi was thinking. He would have used mind reading countless times already if he had that skill.

Ye Qingzi was in turmoil, and the same went for Chu Mu. He was scared that Ye Qingzi might suddenly leave him. That feeling was worse than killing himself. Hence, he had been keeping checks on Ye Qingzi these past few days. Even if he had to be forceful, he would not allow Ye Qingzi to leave him.

“You can ask the woman who hates you the most outside how she thinks. I think the same,” said Ye Qingzi.

“......” Chu Mu was at a loss on how to respond.

Seeing that Ye Qingzi was unwilling to talk to him, he had to wait until her anger had died down a little first.

In the garden, the lightly-dressed Yu Suo stood under the silver moonlight. She looked so pure as if she was the goddess of the moon, slender and elegant, absolutely beautiful.

Chu Mu had long become immune towards her unparalleled beauty. He walked towards her and recalled Ye Qingzi’s words.

No matter how slow Chu Mu was, he would not really ask how Yu Suo thought of him. She and Ye Qingzi were totally different types of people, at least Chu Mu never treated Yu Suo as a woman.

“Falling out?” Yu Suo looked at Chu Mu and actually revealed a small smile.

Despite having a celestial maiden-like face, her smile exuded a witch’s aura, especially that mocking attitude of hers.

Chu Mu coldly replied, “Not your concern.”

“Perhaps I can help you?” Yu Suo’s smile remained unfettered.

Chu Mu purposely took a glance at her hair. As expected, her hair was rogue-coloured.

This meant that the one standing before him was the Evil Good Queen, hence she dared to provoke him.

“How’s the development?” Chu Mu could not be bothered to fuss over the topic further.

“You have gained the participation right,” said the Evil Good Queen.

Chu Mu nodded.

Honestly speaking, Chu Mu was in a rather foul mood. Many people would usually choose to get drunk when they were in a foul mood. However, the battle maniac Chu Mu would only think about fighting. Only when he was fighting, he would not get distracted by anything. The highly intense feeling was also a form of enjoyment to him.

“Another matter,” continued the Evil Good Queen.

“Speak.”

“There is an isolated space in Zhengming City called the Imprint Valley.”

“Imprint Valley is like the holy ground for cultivation, the captivating sacred cultivation ground for all the young Soul Pet Trainers. Tang Zhuo fell for my trap because of this qualification. But in any case, this qualification is also very expensive. I paid quite the price to supplement the diagram of the Imprint Valley,” said the Evil Good Queen.

Chu Mu knew that Yu Suo should be the only one in the world who could deploy diagrams. So, being able to supplement diagrams should not be something strange.

“This sacred cultivation ground should be very suitable for your current cultivation. If you cultivate inside there for a year, your soul remembrance should leap into the Spirit Immortal rank.”

Chu Mu’s current soul remembrance was still at the ninth remembrance Spirit Dominator. If he could step into the Spirit Immortal rank, then the Black and White Dual Evil Half Devil that Chu Mu could transform into would be extremely powerful!

Furthermore, the species rank of Hades was originally at the perfect dominator rank, completely unleashing its power would allow it to be on par with Immortal rank. Mo Xie was restricted by Chu Mu’s soul remembrance rank and could not display the full power of Hades.

If he could advance to the Spirit Immortal rank, he would be able to witness the true power of Hades, one of the five great undying legends!

“This Imprint Valley is a good place,” said Chu Mu.

“Also, there is an ancient Phoenix Land in the Imprint Valley, it should be of great interest to you,” added Evil Good Queen.

Ancient Phoenix Land?

Chu Mu had been searching for ruins related to Phoenixes in order to help Dead Dream raise its strength.

Due to the special nature of Dead Dream’s property, Chu Mu was unable to strengthen it. The only way was through the special nirvana of the Phoenix race.

And if the Phoenix race wanted to conduct nirvana, they had to do it through the power left behind by other dead Phoenix race members.
