Chapter 26 Swamp Tiger <TOC> Chapter 28 The Judgment Ceremony
Translator: SumTLMan
The swamp tiger lay on the ground, a sharp knife piercing straight through its lower jaw and emerging from the back of its neck. Li Mu’s breathing was somewhat disordered, and he lifted the head of the swamp tiger, pulling the knife out.
【Source essence +9.7】
The source essence obtained from killing this swamp tiger was no less than that of those who had awakened to the fifth level.
During the intense battle, blood was sprayed as mist due to the strong beating of the heart, spreading in the air. Some animals with keen sense of smell could smell it from several kilometers away.
However, the surrounding area was silent, and even the sound of insects had stopped.
The swamp tiger was the top predator in the entire area. Now it has encountered a formidable enemy, and even possibly killed, causing other predators and herbivores to fearfully leave the battlefield to avoid being affected.
Li Mu picked up the swamp tiger and, with the help of the nearby thieves and flyers, entered the realm of banishment.
He threw the swamp tiger aside and ordered the elven hunter to prepare the prey. The tiger bones are valuable ingredients, and they can be used by the doctors in the clinic to make tiger bone wine.
After handling the miscellaneous matters, Li Mu took a bath with the Sun Spring and washed off the bloodstains, and then carefully prepared for the draw.
【Civilian Group Five】
【Dream Tether of the 72 Divine Powers of the Earth Demon: Excellent Evaluation, Nights and Nightmares are too long】
【Tower of Spectral Energy: Rare Evaluation, a relic of a lost civilization, the civilization itself has perished and vanished into history, only these tall towers still stand on the desolate planet, enhancing one’s spirit and allowing mortals to touch the inexplicable existence in the stars, knowledge brings disaster, and a powerful civilization was destroyed because of this】
【Dragon Roar – Unrelenting Force: Excellent Evaluation, a dragon, a creature with terrifying power, the language of dragons has magical power. Unrelenting Force allows your voice to have primal power, shaking everything in front of you】
【Lake of the Underworld: Excellent Evaluation, the deep lake waters once housed a terrifying creature, even though it has left, eerie power still remains】
Li Mu was a little disappointed that he did not draw out the temple he needed.
The Tower of Spectral Energy was a strange tower, resembling some kind of segmented creature, its cylindrical body slightly twisted, covered with segments that gradually narrow. The gray tower was built with some unknown stone, about fifty meters tall, and there was a faint purple flow between the segments.
Li Mu placed the Tower of Spectral Energy on the ridge of Xianyin Mountain, touching its rough tower body. The tower gave him a strange feeling, as if it were a living creature.
The top of the Tower of Spectral Energy was like a blooming flesh flower, with a platform in the position of the stamen for someone to sit on.
Li Mu flew to the platform. He found that the civilization that built the Tower of Spectral Energy was much smaller in size than humans.
Because the platform at the top of the tower was painted with intricate formations, marking seven positions, but Li Mu estimated that it would be cramped if three people sat down here.
He hesitated for a moment and sat down in the central position.
The entire Tower of Spectral Energy emitted a slight buzzing sound, and thick liquids slowly flowed out from the formations like a gel.
Li Mu reached out to pick up the sticky liquid, but found that the liquid had no substance and he was holding nothing. The liquid that came into contact with him was shining.
Soon, the liquid spread over Li Mu’s head, filling the tower top like a flesh flower. Violet light tendrils spread from his body and penetrated into the tower body.
This feeling was wonderful. Li Mu felt as if he had merged with the tower body. The perception of the Tower of Spectral Energy replaced his own perception.
Violet light lit up above the Tower of Spectral Energy, turning into a huge vertical pupil.
With a thought, he saw a camphor tree on Xianyin Mountain several kilometers away, even the veins of the leaves were clearly visible.
This feeling was very strange. His vision seemed to become touch, and he could clearly feel every wrinkle on the leaves, even the marks of worm damage on the back of the leaves.
He could even “see” the juice flowing in the sieve tube under the bark.
Breaking the connection with the Tower of Spectral Energy, Li Mu was a little wary. This almost panoramic feeling was very easy to get lost in.
Leaving the strange tower, he placed the Lake of the Underworld in the previous stone pool location, and as the Lake of the Underworld fell, the entire exile realm expanded a little more.
A lake spanning several kilometers appeared in the Exile Realm. The water was deep and bottomless, with transparent blue edges. The deeper into the center of the lake, the darker the water became, and at the center was a deep darkness.
He reinforced himself with the Dream Tether and Dragon Roar. Two silver talismans flew into his body. One talisman flew into his head’s psychic energy, and the other into his throat.
Activating the Dream Tether ability, his vision was suddenly shrouded in a hazy mist, as if a glass had been covered with water vapor. The surrounding entities began to fade, and whether it was trees, stones, or lake water, everything started to become blurred. On the contrary, people in the distance became very clear.
Li Mu felt as if he could link to their souls, but because they were awake, their soul fluctuations were too intense, and he couldn’t connect. He stopped the ability and the world immediately returned to its original state.
“The world just now should be the world in the realm of soul perception.” Li Mu realized, “It seems that the Dream Tether ability can only be used on sleeping targets.”
He took a deep breath and aimed at the dark lake in front of him.
A roar like a thunderbolt echoed, and the calm lake surface appeared to have been blown by a strong wind, forming a wave.
The closer the Dragon Roar was to Li Mu, the greater its power was, about the strength of a category 12 wind. At 20 meters away, its power was already fading.
This ability is still weak now and can only be used to disturb opponents during combat.
Li Mu returned to the God and Demon’s Nest and took out the box containing the remains of a descender, preparing to train his psychic energy. He realized that although he had many abilities that other awakeners dreamed of, he was unable to wield their power because of his insufficient psychic energy.
Qing Feng and Ming Yue walked in and reported.
“Greeting the Holy Lord, we have found that after this period of accumulation, the spiritual energy of Xianyin Mountain is enough to develop spiritual fields and plant spiritual medicine.”
The spiritual veins of Xianyin Mountain have been slowly releasing spiritual energy. In the Exile Realm, besides the two of them, there are no other practitioners of spiritual energy, and other lives only inhale and exhale spiritual energy instinctively. The concentration of spiritual energy in the Exile Realm has been gradually increasing.
Recently, the concentration of spiritual energy finally reached the requirement for opening up spiritual fields.
Li Mu naturally agreed. He discovered that training systems outside of psychic energy would attract terrifying existences from beyond the heavens. Not only is this true for yuan energy, but even the natural forces mastered by elves are also the same. However, only simple spiritual energy does not have such hidden dangers.
After converting the source essence of restoring the surface of his soul into psychic energy, he retrieved the vertebrae.
So far, he has converted three times, as he used the third-level vertebrae, and the efficiency of source essence conversion is high.
The psychic energy floating like gas became deeper and more profound.
Riding Dao Lei and carrying Fei Lian on his shoulder, Li Mu left the Exile Realm. This lottery did not directly increase his strength like the last time, but it diversified his abilities. At least in certain specific conditions, the Dream Tether has an irreplaceable role.
On the way back, he hunted and killed another feeding crocodile. This feeding crocodile, with a length exceeding eight meters, tried to ambush him in a water hole, but was directly nailed through the head by the horse spear.
Li Mu cut several tens of pounds of crocodile meat with a ring knife and tied it to the horse’s back.
Cooked crocodile meat, especially the tail that was constantly exerting force, had tight flesh and a delicious taste.
