When Chen Mu and his two companions arrived at the center of the Demon Castle, the central area had already been reduced to ruins.
However, beneath the ruins, a burning black flame caught Chen Mu's attention.
Chen Mu Dharma Power to draw the black flames into his hand, examined them carefully for a while, and then spoke uncertainly.
"This... it somewhat resembles the legendary Seed of Destruction."
" The Seed of Destruction? What is that, and what is it used for?"
Zhou Xinle asked curiously.
"It is of great use to those who cultivate the Great Dao of Destruction, but it is of little use to others."
As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, the clouds in the sky suddenly began to churn, and then four golden beams of light descended, enveloping Chen Mu and the others.
When Zhou Xinle saw the seven divine objects that appeared beside her, her eyes widened in surprise.
While racking her brains to choose, she kept glancing at Chen Mu and Mingye, as if afraid that Chen Mu would take away the divine item she wanted.
"Alright! You choose first, and we'll take what's left."
In that battle, Zhou Xinle had gained Chen Mu's further trust, so he was very friendly to Zhou Xinle and let her choose first.
Zhou Xinle also noticed that another man who looked exactly like Chen Mu was also receiving a reward. At first, she thought he was Chen Mu's clone, but now she thought he was Chen Mu's twin brother.
"Thank you, I've made up my mind, I'll take this one."
Zhou Xinle didn't stand on ceremony with Chen Mu and directly reached out to take a red seed.
World Seed?
Chen Mu hadn't expected that Zhou Xinle would take away a World Seed; this woman certainly had big ambitions.
After Zhou Xinle took the divine object, she quickly left, carried away by the pillar of light. Chen Mu and Mingye also left without delay, each taking a divine object and departing with the pillar of light.
Arriving at the entrance to the secret realm again, it was still quiet.
However, Chen Mu dared not be careless. He immediately released several detection Rune Artifacts from his storage ring and threw them around.
Fortunately, there was still no movement around. Apart from Chen Mu, Mingye, Zhou Xinle, and Chen Mu's own double, there was no one else there.
"Don't be too nervous. The newcomers are probably all eager to enter the cave and obtain the divine treasures, so they won't stay outside normally."
Mingye spoke up, trying to comfort Chen Mu.
"Better safe than sorry. Everyone come over here. I'll set up an invisibility formation so we can hide first."
Chen Mu knew very well that as time went on, more and more trial participants would enter the Kunlun Secret Realm, and now that he and Mingye were both injured, it would be very dangerous if they encountered powerful figures from other forces.
At this point, he no longer hesitated to use his collection. He took out a huge array diagram from his storage ring, along with Ninth-Grade Spirit Stone, World Crystal, and array flags, and began to set up an exquisite hiding array.
More than two hours later, the hiding formation was completed, and everyone hid inside. Only then could he truly relax.
"Let's stay here and cultivate for the next while!"
"We'll discuss this further after Grandpa Turtle and my master come out."
Chen Mu originally planned to leave Mingye in the Destruction Grotto-Heaven, since he still needed to go to other cave heavens for trials, and leaving her at the entrance of the secret realm would be very dangerous.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. The trial in the Destruction Grotto-Heaven is limited to one year, meaning that Mingye can only stay in the Destruction Grotto-Heaven for a maximum of one year, so there's no point in staying there.
Left with no other choice, Chen Mu could only stay at the entrance of the secret realm, focusing on his cultivation, and then decide what to do next after reuniting with the others.
Mingye and Zhou Xinle had no objection to Chen Mu's decision. They had both obtained divine objects within the cave, and this was a good opportunity to absorb and refine them.
Although the rules of the Tomb of the Gods are chaotic and extremely unfriendly to cultivators, the environment within the Kunlun Secret Realm is surprisingly good. The air here also contains Spiritual Power, and the concentration is not low, not inferior to Central Province of the Central Continent of the Pan Emperor Continent.
Chen Mu and the others found their cultivation here to be twice as effective with half the effort, and everyone seized the time to work hard to improve themselves.
More than three months later, Chen Mu's injuries were fully recovered, and he finally saw the White Turtle emerge from the True Body Grotto-Heaven.
" Grandpa Turtle, come here."
Chen Mu led the White Turtle into the hiding formation, and then talked to him about what had happened recently.
" Grandpa Turtle, have you completed the trials in both of the two grotto-heavens?"
"The trial in the Myriad Beasts Grotto-Heaven is complete. The trial in the True Body Grotto-Heaven is too difficult, so I voluntarily gave up and came out."
Hearing White Turtle say that, Chen Mu looked puzzled.
"Really? I thought the True Body Grotto-Heaven trial was pretty easy?"
If you can kill a ferocious beast with God Level physical body, you should be able to pass the trial in the end!
In Chen Mu's opinion, the White Turtle's physical body had definitely reached the God Level, so completing the trials inside shouldn't be difficult.
"Hehe, you're overthinking it."
The difficulty of the trials in the grotto-heaven changes according to the trial participant's talent and potential. Based on my estimation at the time, even if I killed ten God Level ferocious beasts, I might not be able to pass the trial."
Seeing Chen Mu's puzzled expression, White Turtle couldn't help but feel indignant.
"Oh? I see. I thought they were all the same."
In the previous trials, Chen Mu and Mingye Ye's talents were not much different, so he did not notice the difference at all.
After White Turtle returned, Chen Mu felt much more at ease. White Turtle was definitely the strongest among them. With him here, unless a god invaded the Kunlun Secret Realm, there was basically no need to worry about safety.
"In a little over eight months, Master will also be coming out of Yang Soul Grotto-Heaven."
I'll use this time to strengthen myself and prepare for escaping the Kunlun Secret Realm later.
With that thought in mind, Chen Mu took out a medicinal herb that resembled ginseng and swallowed it in one gulp.
This is the True Body Divine Medicine he obtained in the True Body Grotto-Heaven. It contains God Level medicinal properties that can cleanse the physical body, transform it, and rejuvenate it, ultimately leading to Divine Body.
Chen Mu's physical body was already only half a step away from God Level. Now, with the help of the divine medicine, it naturally began to evolve, radiating a divine light that was dazzlingly bright.
And so, after half a year, his physical body completely evolved, becoming a true divine being.
After achieving Divine Body, Chen Mu was not satisfied. He took out the World Seed and placed it directly in the center of his inner world to begin nurturing a physical plane.
"The Tao gives birth to One; One gives birth to Two; Three gives birth to all things!"
As Chen Mu gradually infused his understanding of the Great Dao of the Universe into the World Seed, the World Seed slowly took root and sprouted within Chen Mu's dantian, and an incomparably surging vitality brewed within Chen Mu's body.
