Chapter 77 Plundering the Monastery <TOC> Chapter 79 Desperate Ghost Owl Cultist

The lush peach tree had seven plump, red peaches hanging from its branches. The peaches were ripe, each one the size of a child’s head.
Li Mu picked one and took a bite. His first impression was that the peach was very sweet and the flesh was firm. He finished the whole peach in a few bites, but he didn’t feel any changes in his body.
He was disappointed. Was the effect of the Giant’s Blood only making it taste good?
Li Mu took a step forward and was surprised to find that a force suddenly appeared in his body, pushing him forward. Although the pushing force wasn’t strong, it still increased his speed.
When he stopped, the force disappeared instantly and didn’t continue pushing him forward.
Li Mu tried sprinting, stopping suddenly, turning and jumping, and found that this force was connected to his mind. He could control the direction and location of the force actively, or let it assist him passively.
Unfortunately, this force could only act on himself, or it would have a greater effect.
After picking two more peaches from the tree and gnawing the flesh off the pits, Li Mu found that the force had become stronger, increasing from about 100 kilograms to 250 kilograms.
The amount of force that could be added by each peach was rapidly decreasing.
After eating all the remaining peaches, this force increased to more than 450 kilograms.
With the assistance of this force, Li Mu’s body movements became more agile, and he could make large-angle turns that exceeded the limits of the human body.
“If this force exceeds my own gravity, then doesn’t that mean I can fly directly?”
Li Mu was pleasantly surprised.
He also found that his body had become much stronger and tougher, but the changes were not obvious. Only after eating all seven peaches did he notice the changes in his body.
【Giant’s Power: The innate power of the ancient giants, which allows them to borrow strength from the void and have flexible movements that do not match their huge bodies.】
Li Mu sensed this force for a while, and a string of worm-like characters appeared in his field of vision.
In the Exile Realm, as long as he focused on something for a while, the worm-like introduction text would automatically appear.
This was a technique he had discovered not long ago.
Although the introduction text was always vague and mysterious, it still gave him near-omniscient abilities.
Li Mu was intrigued by how amazing the power was that allowed the ancient giants to move flexibly. If he applied it to himself, wouldn’t he be able to fly directly?
Just to achieve that astonishing power, who knows how many peaches he would need to eat.
With the blessing of giant strength, he slid over ten meters with a single step and arrived at a small spring.
This is the Spring of Souls, but because it has only been less than a year, there is only a shallow layer of spring water in the spring.
Just looking at the spring water, there is nothing unusual about it, no different from ordinary spring water.
Li Mu dipped his finger in it and put it on his tongue. Immediately, an extremely bitter taste came up from his tongue, making him feel nauseous.
This was the first time he had tasted something like this, and the bitterness seemed to seep into his soul along his throat.
With great difficulty and willpower, he didn’t spit out the soul water.
When the bitterness subsided, he could regain his composure and carefully feel the changes in himself.
“My source essence has increased slightly?!”
He was somewhat shocked to discover this.
The importance of source essence to awakeners is self-evident. Up to now, Li Mu only knew of one way to increase source essence, which is to accept the baptism of the Book of Heroes.
The Book of Heroes is the legacy of a top first-level powerhouse. And this method can only be carried out once in a person’s lifetime.
However, for Li Mu, the Spring of Souls can generate a handful in just seven days, almost endless.
He estimated that the amount of source essence supplemented by a handful was equivalent to one-third of the source essence consumed in one cultivation session.
The only thing to beware of is the side effects. The gaze of the Soul Lord made him inexplicably remember the astonishing phenomenon in the sky when he brought Qing Feng and Ming Yue out of the Exile Realm.
The sound of wings flapping came from the sky, and several black cranes landed on the ground.
The largest black crane stood more than two meters tall on the ground, and its feathers reflected a colorful light.
Almost all of the black cranes had a flicker of intelligence in their eyes. Having long waited in the environment rich in spiritual energy and frequently communicated with humans in the Exile Realm, they had the intelligence no less than human children.
Li Mu took out the clan bones from his arms, ready to make them all into spiritual beings.
Ordinary black cranes can live up to sixty years. This group of black cranes is already twenty-five years old.
If he doesn’t transform them into spiritual beings, he may never see them again.
If possible, he also wants to try to awaken the spiritual abilities of the trusted civilians in the Exile Realm.
A cheer came from the crowd in the distance.
In twenty-five years, the settlement of civilians has developed into a small town, and they have taken root and multiplied here.
People cheered because the streetlights on the street were lit. The engineers had connected the generator and cables, illuminating the first light in the Exile Realm.
“Praise the Holy Lord!”
“Praise the Holy Lord!”
The people shouted in unison.
Li Mu’s mouth curled up slightly as he and the black cranes returned to the God and Demon’s Nest in the sky.
The physique of the black cranes was not weaker than that of the Fei Lian, and the side effects of receiving psychic radiation were almost nonexistent in them. It didn’t take much effort for them to become spiritual creatures one by one.
For a while, the clear and melodious crane calls echoed in the God and Demon’s Nest.
After entering his dream, Li Mu found that their self-awareness had hardly changed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he didn’t have to worry about them becoming a group of indescribable monsters the next time he was in the Exile Realm.
He sat on the throne and tapped the jade chime. Qing Feng and Ming Yue came in with the wind.
“Greetings, Holy Lord.”
The two children bowed respectfully.
“Qing Feng, bring a few bottles of fruit wine and tell me about the Exile Realm with Ming Yue.”
Even now, Li Mu’s mouth still had a hint of bitterness, which only subsided after drinking two or three bottles of fruit wine.
After listening to Ming Yue’s report, Li Mu nodded and took out the bone of his family, converting all the overflowed source essence on the surface of his soul into spiritual energy. He then took out the skin scroll of the White Bone Hidden Energy, studied it for a while, and left the Exile Realm.
Back in the wilderness, the familiar radiation dust was once again blown onto his face by the breeze.
Li Mu returned to the floating ship, but before he could sit down, Li Mei sniffed him like a little dog.
“Did you secretly go drink again?”
