Chapter 685

Eternally Forbidden Zone

“Dad, where is Reverend Ni Lei? Can I turn to him if I run into trouble?”

“Mm… I wouldn’t bet my hopes on him. If he liked to have his presence known, don’t you think people would already have known of him?”

“Come on, Dad, you don’t expect me to solo those flesh-winged horny monsters, do you? As a cultivator, he has a duty to assist us drive them out of Third Heaven.”

Ku Mu nodded. “He focuses on electric style, so wherever lightning is frequent, you should be able to find him.”

“Does he get struck by lightning every day?! Is he as handsome as me?”

Ku Mu and Mu Yu both shot Xiaoshuai a stare.

“Dad, how do you kill those freaks?”

After listening to Mu Yu’s experience fighting Chi Yue, Ku Mu explained, “You can’t kill them while at Third Heaven; they’ll revive in a matter of time. The sunlight at Third Heaven will kill them temporarily.”

“What if we happen to encounter them on a cloudy day?”

“Yeah, the weather at Third Heaven has progressively worsened recently. Cloudy days are more frequent than sunny days at many cities. You can’t tell who’s who from two metres away because everyone wears face masks.”

“There’s an item called Midnight Sun Mystic Spirit found at Eternally Forbidden Zone. They absorb moonlight all year round and illuminate the same light as the sun, so you could use them to kill and seal the lunar race.”

“Where is Eternally Forbidden Zone?”

“It’s one of the places similar to Vacant Spirit Grounds. Eternally Forbidden Zone is forever stuck at daylight. I don’t know its precise location, but I do know it’s located extremely high up.”

“What happened to maps?! I hate clue-gathering games!”

“Get the hang of harnessing natural energy already and then scram.”

“Oh.”

“One more thing.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t call me, ‘Dad’.”

“Sure, Dad.”

Learning to install a formation into a stone was the basics of basics to harnessing natural energy and was but an express casting method. Nevertheless, some supplemental knowledge Ku Mu provided in addition to that was enough for Mu Yu to figure out how to seal the slit Chi Yue created to slip through.

Ku Mu pointed out all of the flaws in Gentle Wind One Line Heaven, trampling on Mu Yu’s pride. The most mind-boggling complaint of all was that one of the lines was drawn provocatively. Like, what?! Guess that was the price to pay for Ku Mu to help him perfect it, though.

The reason Mu Yu’s formation could not hamper Ku Mu was due to the latter utilising natural energy, which formations couldn’t stop. Through combining Gentle Wind One Line Heaven with Mirror Formation, once the former was conquered, the latter would catch the opponent by surprise, leaving them fatally vulnerable.

After dishing out a tongue lashing after Mu Yu tried to add Appose Horizon Formation to the mix for the ultimate simultaneous defence and attack combo, Ku Mu drank the medicine Mu Yu brewed and said, “The idea is quite creative.”

“Where did you scold me, then?”

“Do I need a reason to scold you?”

Mu Yu smiled. “Go on. Go on. I have a pill here that can guarantee you can talk for ten days without any throat problems.”

“Hmph.”

“Dad, you’ve been here with me for a month. Isn’t Shiniang going to be worried?” Mu Yu inquired, finally grasping the fundamentals after a month.

“Thanks to your indecent actions, Secular World Sect is turning the world upside down to find her. She returned to her sect to put them at ease.”

“That’s a pity. I was hoping to go back to Holy Maiden Pool with her,” Mu Yu commented, yawning.

“Scram!”

Mu Yu was aware it was time for him to depart and that dallying any longer was not wise. If he could, he would have preferred to stay in this dimension and leverage his knowledge of the future to prevent the mishaps he didn’t want to see.

Smiling with a heavy hurt, Mu Yu expressed, “I’ll be going, then, Dad.”

As he walked off, Mu Yu mused, The two people I’ve always respected most are Shifu and you, Dad. Although you’re always scolding me, you’re always there for me when it counts. If I could, I’d love to live a carefree life with the two of you, but I have a score to settle with Bai Jie. You two have protected me all this time. Now, it’s my turn to protect the two of you.

“You still not giving up on that?” Ku Mu asked, sitting in his chair with his head down.

Mu Yu cast his gaze onto the azure. “Never.”

“… Be careful. Your own safety is more important than reviving him.”

Nobody is more important than another, thought Mu Yu, with a shake of his head. He forced a smile as two trails of emotions streaked down his cheeks. “I know what to do, Dad.”
