Xunuo nervously retracted his legs, Corpse Monster’s fingertips rubbed against the soles of Xunuo’s feet. Xunuo has shrunk into a ball. At this time, the air in this small space is turbid. XunuoNo matter how strong your eyesight is, you can't see beyond a foot. Corpse Monster’s big hands were scratching behind Xunuo. Although Xunuo was not caught or firmly grasped, it was also scanned on Xunuo several times. Xunuo was extremely nervous. Corpse Monster suddenly became excited and stretched out his big hand to fish it out again. Xunuo He closed his legs again, and one shoe was grabbed. Xunuo He was busy curling up and trying his best to find a little space. Corpse Monster will be out of reach of Xunuo when he catches it again. Corpse Monster It seems that I can’t catch it anymore, so I have to continue digging the cave. Xunuo Seeing this Corpse Monster is fierce but stupid, he hurriedly stretched one leg back a little. Come seduce the Corpse Monster. Corpse Monster Sure enough, he reached out to grab me again and stopped digging the cave. Xunuo saw that this plan was feasible, so he tried his best to dig a cave while stretching out a leg to lure Corpse Monster. Xunuo Doing this is actually extremely dangerous. It’s all about feeling, luring Corpse Monster. In a moment, Corpse Monster grabbed the other shoe. Gradually, the rumbling sound of water has drowned out the roar of Corpse Monster. Xunuo can't dig a cave and attract the Corpse Monster at the same time. Because if Xunuo doesn’t crawl forward a little, the digging place will be out of reach. And if it goes a little further, it will not play the role of attracting Corpse Monster. Xunuo had no choice but to give up luring Corpse Monster and concentrate on digging the cave. The sound of water is getting louder and louder, and Corpse Monster is getting more and more violent. But Corpse Monster also encountered a problem at this time, which made it difficult. It turns out that the gravel excavated by Xunuo gradually increased and blocked the passage behind it. Corpse Monster Now if we want to move forward further, we must first pull these gravels to the back. This Corpse Monster obviously doesn't have the wisdom to push these rubbles forward. It's like a barrier has been built between the two. Although Xunuo is awkward to dig in this way, it is safe for the time being. Xunuo In the narrow space of the cave, I hunched over and pressed my back against the gravel behind me. Don’t worry and try your best to dig this last distance. Finally, the knife went down, and air came from outside. Xunuo was overjoyed and quickly broke through the stone wall. A dazzling ray of sunlight made Xunuo dizzy. Xunuo His eyes quickly closed. At this time, there was no obstacle in front of Xunuo. He was pushed by the powerful force of Corpse Monster behind him and flew out involuntarily. Corpse Monster Without the cover in front, he poked his head out of the cave. Then there was a roar. Corpse Monster seemed to be extremely afraid of the sun. As if he had seen the most terrifying thing, he quickly retreated into the cave and disappeared without a trace.
Xunuo fell into a deep pool, the icy water chilling to the bone, causing pain that pierced through him while still managing to keep him awake.
Xunuo quickly swam to the shore and looked up at the hole he had fallen from. Although he did not see the Corpse Monster chasing after him, he was still shaken and chose a direction to run frantically.
He ran for an unknown amount of time before finally collapsing in the woods. When he woke up, it was already deep into the night. After sleeping for half a day, he had regained some strength, but he also became acutely aware of his injuries, especially the pain—far beyond what could be described as merely penetrating.
Lying flat on the grass, even moving his arm caused excruciating pain throughout his body. However, Xunuo knew that some of his injuries could not be delayed and needed to be treated quickly.
Enduring the intense pain, Xunuo applied Healing Ointment to his wounds and swallowed a pill. At that moment, sweat drenched the grass beneath him. Soon after, he fell back into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, it was still night. Mentally, Xunuo felt much better. He struggled to lean against a tree and sit up. The pain in his body had become bearable; he could grit his teeth and endure it without losing consciousness.
At that moment, he heard a rumbling sound from his stomach. Looking around, Xunuo got up and picked some wild fruits from a nearby shrub. As he ate, he began to plan his next steps.
Given his current injuries, Xunuo could no longer continue on his journey. He needed to rest in this mountainous area for a while. Since he was too close to the Corpse Monster, Xunuo decided to move further away and find a secluded spot where he could rest peacefully.
After eating several wild fruits and regaining some strength, Xunuo set off again. A day later, he found a hollow tree and hid inside to rest.
This time, he rested for nearly a month before feeling that his injuries had mostly healed. Once he felt capable of moving without hindrance, he hurriedly emerged.
At this point, Xunuo took out a map and realized that he was on the way to Wuhua Mountain. He had not deviated from his path; he had simply entered a large mountain area that was somewhat distant from the Main Road. Fearing encounters with Gongsun and others, as well as running into the Corpse Monster again, Xunuo did not dare return along the original route.
After some contemplation, he chose a remote path instead. This route required crossing two large mountains before reaching the official road. Although the mountain paths were difficult to traverse, they were not insurmountable for Xunuo at this point. However, since there were no clear trails in the mountains, Xunuo needed to constantly discern his direction. Even so, he ended up taking many unnecessary detours along the way.
Surviving was already a great fortune, and Xunuo did not mind taking a few more steps.
After several days of travel, Xunuo finally reached a ridge. Standing atop the ridge, Xunuo looked around, realizing that the path they had taken was now swallowed by a sea of trees.
Thinking about finally shaking off Gongsun and the Corpse Monster's pursuit, Xunuo let out a quiet sigh of relief. After days of sleepless travel, it was only upon stopping that fatigue set in, and Xunuo collapsed onto the ground. After resting for a while, he unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep. He did not know how long he had been asleep when he was suddenly awakened by a fierce mountain wind. He quickly stood up, noticing that a crescent moon had risen above.
Xunuo couldn't help but smile wryly; it was the first time he had truly slept in days, indicating just how exhausted he really was. Upon waking, he felt something unusual but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
After pondering for a moment, Xunuo sat cross-legged on the ground. He formed hand seals and closed his eyes to practice the Huayang Classic. However, he soon realized something was different; even with his eyes closed, the surroundings were vividly clear in his mind. Not only that, while usually his eyes could only perceive one direction at a time, now with his eyes shut, he could see in all directions as if his entire body were filled with eyes.
Xunuo felt a surge of joy within and kept his eyes closed to sense more deeply. Soon, he discovered that this newfound insight came from the Mud Pill Palace. He focused his mind on the Mud Pill Palace.
To his astonishment, he found that his Mud Pill Palace was enormous compared to his Dantian.
His Dantian was only about the size of a wheel, roughly three to four feet in diameter. In contrast, the Mud Pill Palace was at least several dozen zhang in size, surrounded by an impenetrable darkness akin to primordial chaos. In the center, there was a small point of light resembling a candle flame, casting a faint glow that illuminated an area of over ten zhang. Surrounding this light was a mist-like layer that seemed to envelop it like a veil. In the dark areas where the light did not reach, Xunuo could not catch even a glimpse.
Xunuo then withdrew his mind from the Mud Pill Palace and began to explore his surroundings. The details of objects within ten zhang were clearly imprinted in his mind; even cicadas behind trees and ants beneath stones were vividly visible. Beyond twenty zhang, however, everything became blurry. Xunuo then directed his focus underground into the soil and rocks but could only penetrate seven or eight zhang before hitting an invisible barrier.
Xunuo pondered silently: Could it be that he had opened his heavenly eye? Yet it didn't seem so. Legends said that those who opened their heavenly eye could see through both realms of yin and yang and perceive past lives and future destinies—an immortal's method. His experience certainly could not compare to that. Perhaps this was merely a benefit derived from practicing the Huayang Classic. It might be possible to achieve similar results with other cultivation methods; he simply lacked knowledge on the matter.
