Chapter 297: Chapter 175: The Shaking Mysterious Heavenly Boundary Monument (Part 2)

Translator: 549690339

The setting sun cast a long shadow of the Heavenly Boundary Monument as Chu Mu moved forward, dividing this vast, desolate land with a straight, black river.

‘Whoosh whoosh whoosh

A sandstorm gradually approached, picking up and swirling dust from a distance. Chu Mu subconsciously used his Soul Sense to create a barrier around himself to protect against the sandstorm. To his surprise, the sandstorm dissipated as if it had hit a wall when it reached the Heavenly Boundary Monument.

Around the Heavenly Boundary Monument, a yellow dust filled the air. From a distance, the wind and sand outlined an invisible, special silhouette. Several smooth lines formed a totem surrounding the monument, a figure resembling an ancient beast from tattered books.

Chu Mu was amazed. This moment felt like a flash of inspiration – an invisible totemic outline creating a vivid image in Chu Mu’s mind. The totem had a definite sense of reality, though it might only exist in Chu Mu’s imagination.

Moving forward, Chu Mu saw no trace of the invisible totem when he stepped outside the shadow of the Heavenly Boundary Monument. However, as he stepped into the shadow again, amidst the raging sandstorm, the mysterious outline reappeared…

The evening glow gradually fell onto the horizon, unfurling its final crimson brilliance!

Unbeknownst to anyone, thick clouds gathered in the sky, slowly covering a dark, shadovvy area, silently expanding.

The wind howled and suddenly died down again, with yellow sand swirling in the sky…

Within the monument’s shadow, Chu Mu continued searching for that special totemic outline while the setting sun cast brilliant rays across the sandy ground.

The rays of light filled every corner of the land, except for the shadow of the Heavenly Boundary Monument where Chu Mu stood.

The crimson sun was about to set below the horizon, bathing the vast sky and Earth in its glow. Amidst the howling wind and swirling sands that scattered brilliant light across the sky, surging clouds formed an extraordinary scene. It was beautiful and magnificent yet evoked a fantastical, mysterious, and ancient feeling…

As darkness pervaded every corner, the monument’s shadow where Chu Mu stood would naturally draw attention.

Chu Mu continued searching for the mysterious totem, oblivious of his surroundings, only feeling an oddity in his vision.

Essentially, Chu Mu’s vision was limited to the monument’s shadow, but he didn’t notice the anomaly, as his attention was focused on the totem — something had already captivated him…

“Roar!

Suddenly, a booming roar resounded by Chu Mu’s ear!

The roar pierced Chu Mu’s ears almost rupturing his eardrums, violently assaulting his spiritual world and causing an unbearable headache!

Chu Mu was alarmed as he hastily used his Soul Sense to protect his spiritual world – the mysterious phenomenon happened once again. The enigmatic totemic outline became increasingly clearer by the moment!

It was as if an invisible creature stood there, being doused in water, and the water’s flow outlined the creature’s form!

The outline grew clearer, eventually transforming into a translucent, soul-like figure, coming to life before Chu Mu’s eyes!!

The totemic creature was on the move, chasing in a direction Chu Mu couldn’t identify. The creature moved at an incredible speed, and yet Chu Mu felt as if he were following the creature in a dream…

Chu Mu didn’t know what kind of creature this was, only that watching it run evoked the feeling of a wild horse set free, galloping across open fields, accompanied by the wind and the scent of the earth…

“Hum hum hum hum

Suddenly, Chu Mu felt his entire field of vision vibrating as the totemic creature showed signs of panic and restlessness, diverging from its previous carefree movements, shifting constantly.

Dodging, accelerating, and leaping as if in a battle — each movement executed flawlessly, Chu Mu had never seen a Soul Pet so agile, so fluid in its actions.

In terms of movement mastery, MO Ye had already reached an exquisite realm. However, compared to the mysterious creature before him, MO Ye was far less advanced. Chu Mu was certain that given the perfect movements of this Soul Pet, even if all his Soul Pets were summoned to attack it, none would even graze a single hair of the creature.

This was a sublimation, a sublimation of movement and evasion in battle! The totemic ancient creature moved incredibly fast; Chu Mu felt he shouldn’t be able to see it clearly, yet he could observe every movement of the Soul Pet.

“Hum hum hum hum

The trembling sound echoed once more. Chu Mu didn’t know what was happening; he was fully immersed in the Soul Pet’s peculiar fighting techniques…

“Hum hum hum hum

Leaning against the Heavenly Boundary Monument, Ye Qingzi was about to close her eyes and rest when the enormous monument suddenly made a sound and started to tremble!

Ye Qingzi, alarmed, suddenly felt an overwhelming presence weighing down her spiritual world!

This presence was terrifying – making her feel as if the darkness would suddenly collapse, and the entire land would be crushed into dust!

“Huu-”

The Purple Robe Dream Beast let out a faint cry, its body trembling. Its black eyes closed tightly as it clung to Ye Qingzi’s side.

Ye Qingzi’s Soul Sense was locked, and at this time, the setting sun was falling, leaving the world dim and dark. When Ye Qingzi looked around, she felt the darkness coming!

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.” Ye Qingzi gently stroked the Dream Beast’s head, comforting it.

Ye Qingzi knew about the Heavenly Boundary Monument legend, and she showed relative composure. What worried her was Chu Mu, who had disappeared. At this moment, when she looked toward the east, she couldn’t see Chu Mu’s figure at all…

“Chu Mu-

Ye Qingzi shouted in the direction Chu Mu had left. Without her Soul Sense, Ye Qingzi could only use her voice to call.

However, no matter how loudly Ye Qingzi shouted, her voice seemed to be inexplicably swallowed by some force, preventing it from spreading out.

Ye Qingzi’s heart sank as she anxiously watched the dark world…

Finally, the last trace of sunlight was withdrawn, and Ye Qingzi’s vision gradually became clear…

The wild wind slowly dissipated, the dust settled, and the oppressive sky curtain slowly rose. The black clouds turned into vapor and vanished, the sky became exceptionally clean and filled with stars and a full moon.

The mysterious aura disappeared with the black sky curtain, and the Purple Robe Dream Beast cautiously opened its eyes. Like a child who had escaped danger, it poked its head out and looked all around.

“It’s okay now, it’s okay…” Ye Qingzi caressed its dream horn, gently speaking.

” When the horror disappeared, the Purple Robe Dream Beast returned to its normal state, and let out a neighing sound.

After the smoke cleared, Ye Qingzi immediately began searching for Chu Mu. What surprised her was that Chu Mu was actually less than a hundred meters away from her. He stood there quietly, slightly tilting his head, staring at the Heavenly Boundary Monument in a trance.

Yellow dust swirled around Chu Mu’s body and, when it dissipated, it had already wrapped him in a thick layer of dust. Chu Mu himself looked like a statue that had been sealed in this dusty world for countless years, motionless.

“Chu

Ye Qingzi didn’t know what had happened to Chu Mu, but when she saw him covered in dust, her heart panicked. She hurriedly ran to his side…

The earth-shaking roar in the Spiritual World gradually disappeared, replaced by the tense call of a woman. Chu Mu’s consciousness gradually returned to normal, wanting to see who was calling him…

He couldn’t see anything!

Chu Mu was surprised to find that he couldn’t see anything, as if something strange was blocking his vision.

“Don’t move!” As Chu Mu instinctively used his hand to wipe away the object blocking his eyes, he suddenly heard Ye Qingzi’s voice.

Chu Mu’s movements stiffened, not understanding why Ye Qingzi suddenly told him not to move.

Purification Water slowly encircled Chu Mu’s body. Three beautiful blue water ribbons, like a woman’s slender hands, gently caressed Chu Mu’s body…

Gradually, the blue water ribbons became turbid, obviously absorbing the special dust on Chu Mu’s body…

When the third strand of Purification Water wiped away the dust from Chu Mu’s face, his eyes returned to normal.

“What happened?” Chu Mu looked at the worried Ye Qingzi and asked in confusion.

“Did you feel anything unusual about your body?” Ye Qingzi helped Chu Mu sit down on a nearby rock and asked.

“No.” Chu Mu shook his head.

“Then did you see something while you were standing there?” Ye Qingzi couldn’t figure out the situation.

“It seems like I saw something, but I can’t remember it now.” Chu Mu scratched his head, and the silhouette of a Soul Pet floated in his mind. However, the Soul Pet became increasingly blurred in his mind, and the more he tried to remember, the more he forgot…

Ye Qingzi’s lips parted slightly, her expression showing a hint of surprise. Her beautiful eyes stared at Chu Mu for a long time before she slowly said, “Have you ever heard of the legend of the Heavenly Boundary Monument?”

“Just a little bit, and there are several versions…” Chu Mu glanced back at the unfazed Heavenly Boundary Monument, feeling a bit strange but unable to pinpoint anything wrong…

“If you saw something, it might have been dead for a long time.” Ye Qingzi said in a low voice.

“A Soul of the Dead?” Chu Mu asked.

“I am not sure. Soul-type pets are rare, but I think it should be similar to the ancient images reappearing in a mirage…” Ye Qingzi said.

‘What you’re saying is more likely. Since you know about the Heavenly Boundary Monument, have others experienced the same thing as me?” Chu Mu asked.

“Yes, the documents about the Heavenly Boundary Monument mention this phenomenon obscurely, called ‘Monument Tears.’ One of my elders even experienced it personally.” Ye Qingzi said.

“Monument Tears?” For some reason, when Chu Mu heard this name, he felt his soul trembling slightly. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (novelhall) to vote for recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation..)
