Soon, another month had passed.

In the morning, Mingye and A Huo came to find Chen Mu to meet up. They had already agreed to go back to the Wilderness Chen Village together today.

Chen Mu now has a pair of advanced-looking crystal glasses over his right eye, which are also clipped onto his right ear, making them look like smart glasses from a technologically advanced society.

In fact, these crystal glasses function similarly to smart glasses; they are the result of Chen Mu's research over the past two weeks.

Chen Mu named these crystal glasses " Fate Vision".

The main function of the Fate Vision is to collect external patterns of destiny. Chen Mu will import the data into the Fate Deciphering Device every now and then to comprehend the Fate Law.

In addition, it also has combat assistance functions and enhances Chen Mu's soul skill ' Eye of the Seer '.

In the past two weeks, Chen Mu has been using the Fate Deciphering Device to comprehend the Fate Law with remarkable success. Chen Mu has now begun to grasp the Fate Law and has also made some progress in cultivating his soul skill ' Eye of the Seer '.

The Fate Vision is controlled using the Divine Soul, and it is inscribed with a large number of destiny runes.

With the aid of the Destiny Rune, Chen Mu can now use the ' Eye of the Seer ' soul skill to some extent, but the current Soul Power consumption is relatively high, so he must use it with caution.

"Brother, why are you wearing glasses now? And it's a single pair at that. Are you nearsighted now?"

Chen Duo noticed the glasses Chen Mu was wearing and asked curiously.

The process of a martial artist breaking through in cultivation is a process of physical transformation. Therefore, as Chen Duo's cultivation level improved, his nearsightedness gradually got better.

When she broke through to the True Spirit Realm, her eyes were no different from those of an ordinary person, so she no longer wore the glasses made by Chen Mu.

Chen Mu had also wondered before: nearsightedness is actually not difficult to treat, so why is it an incurable disease in the Wilderness?

His questions were finally answered when Chen Duo's nearsightedness miraculously disappeared.

The upper classes in the Wilderness don't have nearsightedness problems at all; they don't bother to research how to treat it.

The lower classes, however, faced this problem but had no means of treatment.

Even if someone occasionally discovers a solution to nearsightedness, he won't promote it because the upper class doesn't need it, and the lower class can't bring him enough benefit.

This is the real reason why nearsightedness can become incurable.

"Haha, this has another use for me; it can help me in battle."

However, it's still in the experimental stage, and many things are not yet perfected. If the technology matures in the future, I'll get one for each of you."

Chen Mu was all smiles; his research was progressing smoothly lately, and he was in a great mood.

Everyone had become accustomed to Chen Mu's endless stream of strange inventions and was no longer surprised by them.

"Alright, I've packed everything. Let's go!"

Chen Mu called to Mingye, A Huo, and the others, and together they walked towards the front of the mountain.

Flying across the mountain peaks is not allowed in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, so to leave Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, you must go to the front mountain and exit through the mountain gate.

Although Chen Mu and his three companions kept a low profile, they still attracted a lot of attention in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion. After all, each of them was very strong, and they had made a name for themselves in the battle of Absolute Sword City.

Chen Mu earned over a million Demon Hunting Contribution Points during his training missions, causing a sensation in the Mission Hall. Some even gave the four of them a nickname: the " Four Barbarians of the Border."

This nickname reveals that the people of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion have a great deal of prejudice against their background as Wilderness, since Wilderness have always had a very bad impression on the people of the Central Land.

When Chen Mu and his group of four arrived at the front of the mountain, Zheng Fengdao rushed over in a hurry.

"Hey! Brother Chen, are you heading out? On a mission?"

Chen Mu shook his head and explained.

"No, I'm going back to the Wilderness."

"Oh! I see. Then... is it convenient for me to come along?"

Having sided with Chen Mu twice, Zheng Fengdao reaped substantial rewards, and in his mind, Chen Mu was a major benefactor.

He couldn't wait to acknowledge Chen Mu as his boss, but unfortunately, since Chen Mu returned to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, he has been in seclusion at home every day, making it difficult to even see him.

"Ahem... this doesn't seem very convenient, let's do it another time! If I need to go out on missions in the future, I'll definitely contact Brother Zheng."

"Alright! It's a deal then, I won't bother you any longer."

Zheng Fengdao wasn't tactless; seeing Chen Mu's words, he had no choice but to turn and leave.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and, together with Mingye and the other two, stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder and headed towards the gate of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.

When Chen Mu arrived at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, he saw a familiar figure.

"Senior brother, I didn't expect to meet you again."

The man Chen Mu met was the same one named Long Yin, whom he had asked for directions when he first came to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.

Oh? You've seen me before?

Long Yin had clearly forgotten about Chen Mu long ago; after all, so many people came and went from the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion every day, how could he possibly remember them all?

Chen Mu smiled, not caring that Long Yin didn't remember him.

"I saw my senior brother guarding this place last year, and he's still here this year."

I've heard that the guards at the mountain gate are on a rotating shift every year, haven't they?

Why was I able to see my senior brother again this year?

"It was my own request and the sect's request; I've been guarding this place for eight years."

Long Yin's gaze was deep, as if he were recalling something.

"Oh? Alright then! I wish you all the best, senior brother."

Chen Mu had a good impression of Long Yin; he treated the weak very well, unlike the other Heaven-Questioning Pavilion disciples who were arrogant and haughty.

He originally thought Long Yin was in some kind of trouble, so he wanted to help him.

But since it was his own choice, Chen Mu had no choice but to say nothing more.

Chen Mu walked out of the mountain gate, went down the steps, and took out his bulky spaceship from his storage ring.

The spaceship looked more sturdy than before, and the charred marks on it were now covered with dense runes.

After a while, Chen Mu unfolded the spaceship and invited Mingye and the others to get on.

"Let's go! We're going back to the Wilderness."

By evening, Chen Mu and his group had arrived at the Wilderness Border City. With the spaceship, their speed was much faster.

Kong Yu had previously spoken with Chen Mu and learned that after the Sword Guardian Battalion was disbanded, many people moved away from Absolute Sword City with their families.

After discussing it, since everyone had developed a good understanding of each other, they formed a large demon-hunting team called the Sword Guardian Demon Hunting Corps, with Kong Yu as the team leader, and made a living by taking on demon-hunting missions.

With the border war in Western Frontier too severe, Kong Yu moved the headquarters of the Sword Guardian Demon Hunting Corps to Wilderness Border City for the safety of his family.

The most important reason for choosing Wilderness Border City was naturally the hope of cooperating with Chen Mu in the future. The environment of Chen Village was not suitable for their development, so they had no choice but to establish their base in Wilderness Border City.

Wilderness Border City is located at the southernmost edge of the Central Land Continent, and not far from the Western Frontier border. Their demon-hunting group can take on demon-hunting missions and occasionally venture into the Wilderness to kill monsters for a living, so they are doing quite well.
