Qin Mu ran at full speed, and his True Yuan became stronger and stronger. He ran for an unknown number of li, but the villagers of Remnant Elderly Village could always keep up with him. Even the blind man walked as steadily as if on flat ground, staying right beside the group.

Just as Qin Mu entered a mountain forest, suddenly, a pitch - black figure rose from the forest and roared, "Little brat, die..."

The one roaring was the Demon Ape. Imagine how angry it was to see the "little brat" intrude into its territory again. Master Ma, the one - armed man, glanced at the enraged strange beast. The Demon Ape suddenly shuddered, abandoned its territory, and immediately ran away.

There was not a trace of emotion in Master Ma's eyes just now, which made this huge creature feel afraid. It seemed that it would die in the next instant, so it didn't dare to act arrogantly and fled at once.

The others didn't think much of it. Qin Mu kept running, and his True Yuan circulated vigorously. It wasn't until he returned to Remnant Elderly Village that he came out of his trance. He then realized that he was covered in filth, and there was a thick layer of dirt on his body, which looked like either black blood or greasy fat.

Granny Si ordered, "Mu'er, go wash by the river. Blind man, go with him and be careful not to let the monsters in the river catch you."

The blind man, leaning on his bamboo staff, followed Qin Mu to the river. Qin Mu immediately stripped naked and jumped into the river to wash off the dirt. The blind man gently tapped the river water with his bamboo staff. A big fish that had sneaked up to Qin Mu was startled and immediately leaped out of the water, jumping more than ten zhang away. It was a huge green carp more than two zhang long, and its whiskers were like eight tentacles, each one zhang long.

After washing, Qin Mu suddenly looked at the rippling blue surface of the river. Suddenly, a surge of pride welled up in the young man's chest, burning like a raging fire.

His True Yuan suddenly became restless, surging like a river, rushing straight to his throat. It was as if he had suddenly opened the treasure trove of celestial music. A deep roar burst out from his throat!

The roar echoed through the mountains and forests, and the river water rippled!

Amidst the roar, Qin Mu leaped out of the water and suddenly started running, stepping on the surface of the water!

As soon as his foot stepped on the river water, the strength in his sole merged with the descending True Yuan. The two forces combined and burst out suddenly. Where his foot landed, the water exploded in all directions!

Before the water could fall, Qin Mu's body had already moved more than a zhang forward, and at the same time, his other foot stepped on the water.

Tap, tap, tap -

A series of clear splashes came from the river surface. Qin Mu ran across the river, and soon he ran more than two li on the water.

His roar became more and more carefree and unrestrained, like celestial music, as if the immortals were playing music and the dragon and phoenix were singing in harmony. His steps were also bold and unrestrained, running freely and joyfully on the river!

On the river, the breeze blew gently, creating ripples. The young man's steps were astonishingly fast. Soon, he ran from one bank of the Yong River to the other and then back across the river.

The blind man stood by the river with his bamboo staff. The river wind blew, fluttering the blind man's white hair. Listening to Qin Mu's roar coming from the middle of the river, the old man nodded slightly and smiled. Suddenly, he sang loudly, "The cries of apes on both banks keep ringing, while the wind makes my crotch feel cold! Mu'er, you're running wild on the river naked. Aren't you cold swimming in the river with your bare bottom?"

A cry of surprise came from the middle of the river, and Qin Mu plopped into the water.

After a while, the young man swam to the shore, blushing as he dried himself and put on his clothes.

He had a sudden epiphany by the river just now and got carried away. He completely forgot that he was naked when he leaped and ran on the river. Running wild on the river like that was really cold with his bare bottom.

"Fortunately, Grandpa Blind can't see..."

Qin Mu tidied his clothes and suddenly looked up. He saw that Master Ma, the mute, the deaf man, and others were all standing in the forest by the river. Even Granny Si had come, and the Village Chief had been carried over on a stretcher.

Qin Mu's face turned bright red, and he stammered, "Granny, when did you come?"

Granny Si giggled, "Mu'er, we've seen your bottom many times. What's there to be shy about? We heard your roar, and since your True Yuan seemed abundant, we came to take a look."

The Village Chief coughed and said, "Mu'er, come here. You were chased by five martial artists at the Spirit Embryo Realm. There may be hidden dangers. Let the Apothecary check you."

Qin Mu walked over. The Apothecary examined him carefully and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing serious. Just minor injuries."

The Village Chief also examined him and indicated that he could leave. Then Qin Mu was immediately called by the Butcher to train in knife techniques.

The Butcher was very dissatisfied that it had taken Qin Mu more than 5,000 strikes to defeat Senior Brother Qu, and even more dissatisfied that he had killed the opponent with a sword in the end. So, he wanted to give Qin Mu a good lesson.

"What did the Village Chief discover?" The Apothecary walked up to the Village Chief's stretcher, looking at Qin Mu, who was vigorously practicing knife techniques with the Butcher, and asked in a low voice.

"His progress in True Yuan cultivation is terrifying."

The Village Chief didn't hide anything and said, "Extremely fast! From yesterday until now, the speed of his progress is beyond imagination. I heard his roar just now. That kind of sound can only be produced when True Yuan resonates with the throat. It faintly contains the sounds of gods and demons. Not to mention that he hasn't broken through the Spirit Embryo Wall yet, even martial artists at the Spirit Embryo Wall realm can't achieve such resonance! If I were an ordinary person like him and cultivated my True Yuan to his level, it would take twenty years."

When Qin Mu roared by the river, his True Yuan resonated with his throat, and he involuntarily let out a roar. But unconsciously, he had integrated the demonic sound he heard in the canyon ruins into his roar.

What was even more remarkable was that while he carefully studied the demonic sound in the dark last night, he also listened to and remembered the divine sounds of the goddesses in the ruins. He was familiar with every subtle fluctuation of the divine sounds.

Therefore, the divine sounds of the goddesses were naturally integrated into his roar as well.

This didn't mean much to others. They couldn't hear the mystery in it. But when the Village Chief heard it, it was a big deal. He heard it clearly.

"Resonance of gods and demons?"

The Apothecary was shocked. "How did he do it? And it's terrifying that he has achieved the cultivation of an ordinary person in twenty years overnight. Could it really be the effect of the Four - Spirit Blood?"

The Village Chief shook his head. "Although the Four - Spirit Blood can improve his body and True Yuan, it's impossible for it to improve his cultivation this quickly."

The Apothecary pondered, "Could it be that Mu'er is a natural prodigy? Was he born a genius for cultivation?"

The Village Chief frowned. "If he's a natural prodigy, why does he still have an ordinary constitution? Natural prodigies should have Spirit Bodies. Moreover, which prodigy can achieve the resonance of gods and demons?"

The Apothecary asked, "Is the resonance of gods and demons in his roar a good or a bad thing?"

"I don't know."

The Village Chief said, "I can hear the resonance of gods and demons in his roar. The divine and demonic sounds are fighting each other fiercely, but I'm not sure whether it's good or bad."

The Apothecary's eyes flashed, and he said, "Where did the divine and demonic sounds in his resonance come from?"

"I have no idea!"

The Apothecary felt a headache coming on, and so did the Village Chief. They hadn't had such a headache due to something they couldn't figure out for a long time. Since they adopted Qin Mu, the little boy who floated down from the upper reaches of the river, there had been more and more things they couldn't understand.

As night fell, Remnant Elderly Village was soon plunged into darkness. Qin Mu slept in the outer room, and Granny Si slept in the inner room. In the middle of the night, a faint demonic sound involuntarily emerged in Qin Mu's mind, followed by the divine sound. The divine and demonic sounds attacked each other. Before long, the sounds became louder and louder.

The sound of the resonance of gods and demons gradually turned into a fierce battle between darkness and light in his mind. The battle was so intense that Qin Mu felt as if he had no physical form and had become a soul floating above the battle between gods and demons, staring blankly at the darkness and light fighting below.

The place where the darkness and light clashed was like the scene he saw in the canyon ruins last night, but it was even more magnificent and vast. The night was like tentacles, continuously piercing through the light. Then the light burst out suddenly, sweeping away the darkness.

After a while, Qin Mu could see clearly what the light and darkness were. In the darkness, there were countless demons, surging towards the light like a tide. The demonic sound was not just a simple demonic sound but the cries of hundreds of millions of demons!

Similarly, in the light, there were oceans of gods, wearing golden armor, fighting against the invading demons!

He was "standing" too high, and these gods and demons were like tiny drops of water, too far away to see clearly. So, at first, he thought it was a battle between light and darkness. Now that he could see clearly, he felt shocked and terrified!

Qin Mu woke up suddenly, covered in sweat. When he opened his eyes, he found that his mind was filled with those divine and demonic sounds, which were so loud that his head felt as if it was about to explode.

Just then, the jade pendant on his chest gently floated up, drifted to the center of his eyebrows, and gently landed there. Qin Mu felt a stream of clear energy wash over him, and the divine and demonic sounds in his mind disappeared immediately.

He suddenly sat up, gasping for breath, his heart filled with confusion and fear, not knowing what had happened.

After a while, he walked out of the house and looked at the jade pendant in the faint light emitted by the stone statues in the village.

Outside the village was darkness, and the jade pendant also emitted a faint light. Qin Mu stared at the jade pendant in a daze, his gaze as faint as the light of the pendant, and he couldn't take his eyes off the small jade pendant for a long time.

Granny Si had come up behind him at some point and happened to see this scene. Her heart ached. "Although we raised him, Mu'er doesn't really belong to Remnant Elderly Village. He's just a child raised by the village. Eventually, he will leave..."

Then she rouse oneself，her eyes shining with determination. "The outside world is much more dangerous than the Great Wilderness! He doesn't have enough strength yet!"
