A dense rain of light enveloped Mingye and Chen Mu. They were both saddened, but they didn't want to disappoint their seniors' kindness. They quickly flew to the landmass, sat down cross-legged, and earnestly refined the cultivation essence given to them by the three Night Watchers.
Seeing that they were cultivating diligently, the Manju Sacred King did not rush to absorb the Heart of the Netherworld. Instead, he sat down cross-legged to protect them and prevent any accidents from happening.
A day later, divine light shone from the top of Chen Mu's head, and his aura surged dramatically.
He finally broke through to the Mid Dharma Network Realm, which is the Mid Saint Level.
However, his improvement was not yet over. The rain of light surrounding him was still intense, and he closed his eyes to continue absorbing it.
Another day passed, Chen Mu finally absorbed all the light rain, consolidating his Mid Saint Level cultivation.
With his eyes closed, he could see that his inner world had grown to tens of thousands of square kilometers, filled with the Yin and Yang trigrams. These Yin and Yang trigrams were like an army that obeyed orders without question, providing Chen Mu with immense computing power through different combinations of components.
In the Battle Talisman Master System, the inner world is the Battle Talisman Master's hardware, while the neural network is the Battle Talisman Master's software. The hardware is the foundation of the Battle Talisman Master, while the software is the main way to unleash the power of the hardware.
As Chen Mu's cultivation level increased, the computing power provided by his inner world also increased. Now, even without relying on external computing power, he can condense a powerful Law Cloak, and his combat power is approaching the Saint Level Peak.
As the pioneer of the cultivation path, he indeed possessed advantages that other cultivators could not match.
Mingye's cultivation level was not as high as Chen Mu's, so he absorbed the light rain more slowly. It wasn't until more than half a day later that Mingye slowly opened his eyes.
"It's a pity, I was almost able to break through."
Mingye showed a regretful expression. She had just sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough, but before she could officially break through, the light rain was completely absorbed by her.
"It's alright. You've only been at the Saint Level for a few months. It's good to take some time to mature."
Chen Mu offered words of comfort.
" Ye'er, in the days to come, you can spend more time cultivating the Netherworld Scripture."
The Netherworld Scripture contains the profound mysteries of reincarnation. As long as you diligently cultivate it, no matter how fast you break through, your foundation will not be damaged.
The Manju Sacred King also spoke up to remind them.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu sighed inwardly. The Netherworld Scripture was indeed a good thing, but unfortunately, this technique was extremely profound. He had used 80% of the computing power of the entire Manju Imperial Court to decipher it for several days, but he still had no clue.
On the contrary, it was only after Mingye cultivated to the first level in the Nether River that he was able to help Chen Mu analyze a portion of the profound mysteries. Chen Mu had already benefited greatly from this portion of the profound mysteries alone.
Chen Mu's research on the Rune Core has reached a bottleneck, and he cannot improve it in the short term. He can only wait for Mingye, this human analyzer, to decipher the supreme mysteries within the Netherworld Scripture.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will follow your teachings."
"Mother Queen, we are now safe and sound. Go and absorb the Heart of the Netherworld."
Mingye revealed a mischievous smile, gesturing for the Manju Sacred King to hurry up and make his move.
"Okay! I'll go right now."
The Manju Sacred King shook his head helplessly, then smiled and walked towards the white mist in the center of the landmass.
Actually, she didn't want to be the Netherworld Lord at first, but under Mingye's persistent pleading, she finally gave in.
Furthermore, Mingye has already promised Manju Sacred King that she will return to take over the position of Netherworld Lord after she has resolved all matters.
Ta-da...
As the Manju Sacred King approached the white mist, the mist seemed to sense something unusual and began to churn violently.
However, at this moment, a white gas suddenly surged from the body of the Manju Sacred King. After this white gas came into contact with the fog, the fog gradually subsided.
After a while, the Manju Sacred King reached out her hand, wanting to touch the mist, but unexpectedly, the mist suddenly disappeared into her brow.
Chen Mu could tell that the white gas emanating from the Manju Sacred King was the power of the Heavenly Dao's favor in the Netherworld, and it came from the same source as the Heart of the Netherworld.
It seemed that the Manju Sacred King had initially gained the approval of the Heart of the Netherworld. Chen Mu immediately felt relieved and sat cross-legged on the ground with Mingye, waiting patiently.
Two days later, the Manju Sacred King awoke and returned to the Manju Imperial Palace with Chen Mu.
Although the Manju Sacred King has merged with the Heart of the Netherworld, her current strength has not increased. On the contrary, in order to complete the fusion of her body with the many rules of the Netherworld, she is currently unable to fight anyone.
However, this is not a big problem. There is currently no war in the Netherworld. As long as the Manju Sacred King stays in the Manju Imperial Palace and cultivates in peace, she will be able to recover her strength in about half a year, and may even make some progress.
As time goes by, she will grow stronger and stronger, becoming invincible in the Netherworld. At that point, the Netherworld's self-protective force can be withdrawn.
Furthermore, after returning to the Manju Imperial Palace, Chen Mu discovered that he could also utilize the computing power of the Rune Core Server to assist the Manju Sacred King and the Heart of the Netherworld in their fusion.
This pleased him greatly; the sooner the Manju Sacred King completed the fusion of the Heart of the Netherworld, the safer the Netherworld would be.
He immediately set to work, writing a program that could assist in fusing with the Heavenly Dao Core, and set it up in the cultivation room of the Manju Sacred King using an array.
This trip to the Netherworld had already been delayed by several days longer than expected. Not wanting Chen Hongjie and the others to worry, Chen Mu officially embarked on his journey back to the Pan Emperor Continent.
Chen Duo stayed in the Netherworld to cultivate. During this time, Mingye was temporarily in charge of trade between the two worlds until Chen Duo had fully adapted to the situation, after which she would take over.
On this trip back to the Pan Emperor Continent, in addition to the ten Netherworld Talisman Masters, Chen Mu also brought Li Wei and more than a hundred Human Clan cultivators from Iron Soul City.
Due to environmental reasons, survival in the Netherworld has always been difficult for the Human Clan. Shi Xing and his people's lifelong wish is to see a peaceful and prosperous life in the Netherworld.
The appearance of Iron Soul City has clearly helped them realize this wish, which is why they are so devoted to Chen Mu, even after they die and become ghosts, they still want to protect Chen Mu.
Chen Mu had always felt guilty towards the Specter Legion. Everything he did was actually for his own benefit, and he didn't genuinely want to do anything for the Human Clan in the Netherworld, yet he received such a reward from them.
Therefore, he now hopes to help the Human Clan in the Netherworld as much as possible. He brought a portion of the Netherworld's Human Clan to the Pan Emperor Continent to enhance communication between the two sides, which should have a positive impact on the prosperity of the Netherworld's Human Clan.
On the other hand, half of these people are family members of the Specter Legion members. After they go to the Pan Emperor Continent, they can spend more time communicating with the Specter Legion members, so that the Specter Legion members will not be too lonely.
