The Demon Ape was enraged and jumped up to chase after Qin Mu. After running a few steps, however, due to its heavy body, its speed was far inferior to Qin Mu's. The Demon Ape was extremely annoyed. It reached out and pulled up one big tree after another. With a stroke along the tree trunk, all the branches and leaves were stripped clean. The tree became like an extremely thick spear, which was then thrown out by the Demon Ape with a flick of its hand!
"Little Brat, die!"
This strike was full of power, overbearing, and astonishingly fast, but it was a bit off-target. It shot past more than ten zhang away from Qin Mu.
The Demon Ape was even more enraged and stripped another big tree, wanting to launch another attack. But Qin Mu had already run far away, and the Demon Ape beat its chest in hatred.
Senior Brother Qu whispered, "That little demon cub's cultivation strength is far inferior to ours. His injury must be worse than mine, and he won't be able to go far."
He forced himself to stand up but let out a muffled groan. His chest hurt so much that he was afraid that quite a few of his ribs had been cracked by the Demon Ape's slap. However, since even a little demon cub like Qin Mu could withstand the Demon Ape's critical strike, he himself could surely hold on.
What he didn't expect was that Qin Mu's cultivation was not weak. His cultivation was not weak at all. It was just that because his True Yuan had no attribute, he couldn't unleash its power.
If it really came to comparing cultivation bases, although Qin Mu was young, his cultivation was no weaker than any of them, including Senior Brother Qu!
The five of them bypassed the Demon Ape's territory and found Qin Mu's trail again. Indeed, as Senior Brother Qu had said, Qin Mu was injured by the Demon Ape, and his injury was also very serious. After escaping from the Demon Ape's territory, he had to slow down, giving them a chance to catch up with Qin Mu.
But as they continued to pursue, they found that Qin Mu's speed was constantly increasing, and it seemed that his injury was also constantly healing.
"This little demon cub must have some excellent medicine for treating injuries!"
The five of them felt a little worried. Senior Brother Qu had already taken the wound medicine from their sect, but the effect was not as good as Qin Mu's "wound medicine". Judging from the increase in Qin Mu's speed, Qin Mu's injury must be healing at a visible speed!
This kind of wound medicine made all five of them covetous.
"The wound medicine of our sect is not of the highest quality. If we can get the prescription of the excellent wound medicine from this little demon cub, Master and the others will surely be delighted and reward us greatly!"
At this moment, Qin Mu didn't take any wound medicine as they had expected. Instead, while running, he practiced breathing techniques and circulated the so-called Overlord Body Three Pill Technique taught by the village chief, which was actually the most common Guiding Technique, but he didn't know that.
This time, when he activated the "Overlord Body Three Pill Technique" while running and fleeing, Qin Mu immediately made a new discovery. His True Yuan became more active when he was running, and it circulated faster!
But this was different from what the village chief had taught. When the village chief taught him the "Overlord Body Three Pill Technique", he always required him to sit quietly, adjust his breathing, slowly inhale and exhale, nourish the True Yuan, move the True Yuan, and use the True Yuan to moisten his body.
Qin Mu had been practicing the "Overlord Body Three Pill Technique" according to the method taught by the village chief for more than ten years. It was only now that he found that practicing the Overlord Body Three Pill Technique while running might have a better effect.
When running at high speed, the "Overlord Body Three Pill Technique" circulated faster, the speed of nourishing the True Yuan was also faster, and the speed of moistening the body was greatly increased!
Moreover, the True Yuan washed his internal organs, limbs, and bones wave after wave, even along the fascia between the bones and muscles, over and over again.
He was injured in the internal organs and bones by the Demon Ape's slap. However, under the washing of the True Yuan, the cracks in his internal organs and bones were constantly healing.
Senior Brother Qu and the others thought that he relied on excellent wound medicine, but they didn't expect that he relied on the unreliable "Overlord Body Three Pill Technique".
Gradually, Qin Mu found that there was a place in his body, the fascia between the bones and the skin, where the True Yuan couldn't reach. This place was the center of his eyebrows.
Between his two eyebrows, there was only a width of one finger.
At this position, the True Yuan couldn't reach it. His True Yuan could wash under the scalp and strengthen the skull, but whenever the True Yuan reached the center of his eyebrows, it was greatly blocked, as if there was an invisible wall there, blocking the way of the True Yuan.
And when he urged the True Yuan to impact that invisible wall, something even more strange happened. He heard a mysterious voice.
This voice seemed to come from beyond the Nine Heavens, high and far away. The voice rose and fell, melodious and sacred, like a lofty god proclaiming a decree.
And whenever this voice sounded, his True Yuan was out of control and retreated like a tide, bypassing the center of his eyebrows.
"Could this be the Spirit Embryo Wall?"
Qin Mu was puzzled. The village chief, Granny Si, and the others had mentioned the "Wall" and "Breaking the Wall" to him. The Wall was the seal of each treasure house in the human body, and breaking the Wall meant opening the seal and obtaining the treasure.
However, the village chief, Granny Si, and the others didn't tell him where the Spirit Embryo Wall was located in the human body, nor did they mention how to open the Spirit Embryo Wall.
What Qin Mu didn't know was that it wasn't that the village chief, Granny Si, and the others didn't want to tell him, but that there was simply no technique or method to break the Spirit Embryo Wall in this world!
Ordinary people and Spirit Bodies were fundamentally two different classes of people.
As a Spirit Body, the Spirit Embryo Wall was naturally open, and they were naturally superior. While for ordinary people, the Spirit Embryo Wall was closed, and they were considered inferior. The superior Spirit Bodies rarely cared about the needs of ordinary people.
There were few martial artists among ordinary people. As for ordinary people who had opened the Spirit Embryo Wall, even the village chief, Granny Si, and the others had never heard of it, so naturally, they didn't know how to break the Spirit Embryo Wall.
While running wildly, Qin Mu urged the True Yuan to charge towards the invisible wall at the center of his eyebrows over and over again. That mysterious voice kept sounding, making the True Yuan retreat automatically. Although he couldn't break the wall each time, he had plenty of patience and firmly believed that he would be able to break the wall successfully sooner or later.
He didn't plan to tell the village chief and the others about his discovery of the "Overlord Body Three Pill Technique" today. He planned to give the village chief and the others a surprise after he successfully broke the wall.
As for the village chief and the others, it was hard to say whether there would be more surprises or scares.
Senior Brother Qu and the other five people became more and more anxious as they chased. The "little demon cub" in front was not just healing from his injury. His speed had actually increased compared to before!
This was terrifying, which meant that Qin Mu's cultivation was increasing while he was running away!
Although the increase was slow, it was already very frightening!
Anyone's cultivation was done step by step. Even if they successfully broke the wall, the improvement of their cultivation base also had to be gradual. It was impossible to achieve great progress overnight. Who didn't persist in cultivation for dozens of days, months, or even years to make progress in their cultivation?
And this "little demon cub" could actually be clearly felt to have an improvement in his cultivation while running away, which was quite terrifying!
Fortunately, Qin Mu was originally not as good as them. Although he was improving now, there was still a gap between him and them.
However, it was not easy for them to catch up with Qin Mu. Since Qin Mu suffered a loss once, he had become much more cautious. He would avoid the territories of those strange beasts while running.
When the apothecary took him out to gather herbs, he once told him that the strange beasts in the Great Wilderness were very spiritual and had their own territories. Those strange beasts would leave marks, such as trees with their bark peeled off, white bones inserted into the ground, animal heads hanging on wooden stakes, urine marks, and so on. As long as he saw unusual marks and then avoided them, it would be fine.
There were fist marks on the cliff beside the territory of the previous Demon Ape, indicating that this was the Demon Ape's territory. Qin Mu didn't see the fist marks and thus accidentally broke in. Now that he was much more cautious, he wouldn't accidentally break into the territories of other strange beasts again.
However, even if he didn't break in by mistake, many strange beasts would still go out of their territories to forage, making the Great Wilderness full of dangers.
When Qin Mu ran through the swamp, he encountered a great battle between two lord-level strange beasts, the Crested Snake-Necked Snow Eagle and the Swamp Poisonous Dragon Python. One huge creature pounced from the air, its wings setting off a strong wind, and the other coiled in the swamp, causing chaos. The battle was so fierce that it seemed the mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking.
Before Qin Mu rushed into the swamp, he was blown away by the hurricane set off by the two huge creatures. When he landed, he ran into a group of frightened wild oxen and almost got trampled to death by the herd.
"I'm getting farther and farther away from the village..."
Qin Mu felt a little worried. The five people behind were still chasing him relentlessly, making it impossible for him to return to the village. And what was even more terrifying was...
The sun was about to set!
He and Granny Si went out in the afternoon. Now that the sun was setting, darkness would soon fall. If he couldn't return to the village before that, he was afraid that he would encounter great danger!
"Senior Brother Qu, it's getting dark soon!"
Behind Qin Mu, Senior Brother Qu and the other five people also noticed that the sun was about to set. The teenager who was kicked and injured by Qin Mu showed a look of unease and said, "Master once said that the Great Wilderness is a cursed land. After dark, it will become a forbidden area. We must return to those villages protected by stone statues, otherwise, it will be a dead end!"
Senior Brother Qu shook his head and said, "It's too late to go back now. We've come too far and can't return to the original village before dark. The darkness is dangerous for us, and it's equally dangerous for the little demon cub. Now there's only one way, that is, to see where the little demon cub hides!"
