When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 105 Reaching the Boundary of the Divine Void

After hearing your story, I suggest you first go to Shenxu, find the Shenxu King, and learn about the specific methods of Five Elements Body Refinement before you go to find the Source of Water.

After all, the Peace Chamber of Commerce is currently searching for you all over the world. No matter which continent you appear on, you are likely to expose yourself. Only the Divine Void is beyond the control of the Peace Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, once you find the source of water, you won't need to ask the Divine Void King about cultivation methods anymore. If time allows, even if they discover you again, once you have mastered the Five Elements Body Refinement and your strength has greatly increased, you will no longer be afraid of them.

Moreover, due to the geographical environment of our Muyuan World, the Peace Merchant Guild's control over Muyuan World is weaker than that of other continents. If you enter Shenxu from our Muyuan World, with Xiaomu helping you cover it up, you will be much safer.

As Zhu Chongjiu sped through the dense rainforest, he kept recalling the advice of his senior, Mu Zhiyuan.

Turning to look at Xiao Mu, who was following beside him, radiating green light and constantly moving forward by using trees and flowers, he said, "Xiao Mu, we should try to avoid people living in the rainforest, where people can even detect our presence."

Xiao Mu replied somewhat impatiently, "I know, I know, you've told me that countless times, aren't you tired of it?"

Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Chongjiu sighed and thought to himself with sorrow, "Well, this one looks even harder to manage than Xiao Jin. I don't even know what the Source of Water looks like yet. I'm practically becoming the king of the kids."

Hey? By the way, Xiao Mu, I have a question for you. How long was I unconscious at your sister Mu Yuan's place?

Only half a year, not much!

Zhu Chongjiu suddenly stopped his rapid movement and exclaimed in surprise, "What? Half a year has passed?"

Xiao Mu was almost caught off guard by Zhu Chongjiu's sudden stop and looked at him with disdain, replying, "What are you doing? What are you doing? It's only been half a year, what's the big deal!"

What do you mean by "only half a year"?

For people like you who can easily live for tens of thousands of years without even reaching adulthood, do you know how long I can live?

Besides, my brother is still suffering!

Inside the newly built main hall of Shijin City, Xiao Hei was enjoying a hearty meal at a table laden with delicious food, while Prince Zhurong looked at him with doting eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Feng entered the hall, glanced at Xiao Hei, and then looked at Young Master Zhu Rong and said, "Young Master, I still haven't found out any news about Ninth Brother."

"Perhaps... we should send Elder Qi there...!"

Before Xiao Feng could finish speaking, Elder Qi, standing behind Young Master Zhurong, spoke up first: "Now, Young Master, I am the only one by your side. I cannot leave you even for a moment, in order to prevent any mishap from happening to you."

However, this Woodland World is covered with dense forests and has many Emperor-level demonic beasts. My subordinates have lost a lot of manpower in the past six months, and now they are really stretched thin.

"If this continues, I'm afraid it will delay your important matters, young master!" Xiao Feng replied to Elder Qi with a worried expression.

No rush. It's only been half a year. Nothing is more important than your safety, young master. If things really get too bad, I can take action later.

Seeing that Young Master Zhurong was still watching Xiao Hei devour his food and had no intention of speaking, Xiao Feng excused himself and turned to leave the main hall.

After Xiao Feng walked out of the main hall, Young Master Zhurong shifted his gaze from Xiao Hei, turned back to look at Elder Qi, and said, "Elder Qi, are you worried that Ninth Brother still has something that can kill a Heavenly Official level expert, just like he did with Elder Yue?"

When Elder Qi heard Young Master Zhu Rong's somewhat sarcastic remarks, he did not react. Instead, he calmly said, "Some time ago, I secretly went to the site of that great battle to investigate."

The energy from the annihilation of Yue Lao has not yet dissipated. Based on my analysis and observation of the remaining energy, if Ninth Brother were to release this thing into the palace, even if the young master used all his trump cards, it would be to no avail; he would only be instantly annihilated.

"My death is nothing to worry about. At the very least, being by your side will allow me to warn you of the impending danger and enable you to retreat as soon as possible."

After hearing Elder Qi's words, Young Master Zhurong remained silent. After pondering for a moment, he asked Little Black, who was still enjoying his meal, "Little Black, does your Ninth Brother still have the same tricks he used to kill Elder Yue last time?"

Xiao Hei put down the food in his hand and replied indistinctly, "You've asked this question eight hundred times already. I've already said it: my Ninth Brother is incredibly powerful and mysterious. He has countless trump cards, and they are all extremely powerful. I don't know."

I've only ever heard him say, "Below the level of a sage, I am invincible; above the level of a sage, I shall ride a donkey."

After hearing Xiao Hei's words, Prince Zhurong was not angry. Instead, he gently said to Xiao Hei, "I really hope that you and your Ninth Brother will become friends. If your Ninth Brother has not come to rescue you after some time, then you can come with me to the Immortal Realm and become my mount."

I'll make sure you live up to the name of the Celestial Steed in the Immortal Realm!

Xiao Hei didn't say anything after hearing what Young Master Zhu Rong said, but continued to eat and stuff himself.

Upon seeing this, Prince Zhurong lost interest and got up to walk towards his own bedchamber.

After Prince Zhurong left, Xiao Hei muttered to himself, "Hmph! He still wanted to get information out of me?"

You think all these years of traveling around with Ninth Brother were for nothing? It was only when Ninth Brother tricked people into revealing information.

Back in the bedroom, Elder Qi said, "Young Master, this beast is clearly not telling the truth. Why not use torture to extract information?"

Elder Qi, you are unaware of this. The Celestial Steeds are fierce and unyielding; otherwise, they wouldn't have been chosen as mounts by the Creator. Nor would the Creator have taken all the Celestial Steeds with him when he left.

If I were to torture this Zeus to death, not to mention whether Ninth Brother would still come to avenge him after receiving the news, just considering that Zeus is the only remaining divine beast in the world, the loss would be enormous.

If we really can't capture this Ninth Brother, we'll forcibly take this Celestial Steed back to the Immortal Realm and find the Beast Taming Palace to request some medicinal herbs for taming divine beasts. Even if we don't obtain the Source of the Five Elements, getting a Celestial Steed as a mount would be better than nothing.

After all, there are countless treasures in the world that can help one ascend to the celestial official level, but there is only one of these Celestial Steeds!

A month and a half later, Xiao Mu finally brought Zhu Chongjiu to the border between the Muyuan World and the Shenxu.

Looking at the vast barrier, Zhu Chongjiu sighed, "Traversing through this dense forest is truly an unpleasant experience. Even at high speed, one must constantly be wary of the thick trees ahead; a slight misstep could lead to a collision. It's safe to say we've reached the end of the road."

Just as Zhu Chongjiu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely relaxed and in a great mood, Xiao Mu, who had been quietly following behind him, suddenly spoke up: "Hey, why don't you use the Law of Wood to move freely like me? Why do you have to crash into those big trees? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Zhu Chongjiu's relaxed expression froze instantly. He slowly turned around, staring wide-eyed at the little wooden figure floating in mid-air. The little wooden figure looked at him innocently, its expression seeming to say, "Isn't this obvious?"

Zhu Chongjiu's face turned from white to green, then from green to red, with veins bulging on his forehead. The next second, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiaomu's delicate neck, gritting his teeth as he squeezed out a sentence: "Well, you little brat, you only tell me now! Were you deliberately trying to make a fool of me? Did you find it funny to watch me struggle through the woods day and night, risking so much trouble?"

Xiao Mu was startled by Zhu Chongjiu's sudden action. She desperately tried to pry open Zhu Chongjiu's large hand that was tightly gripping her neck, while her legs kicked wildly in the air. Because she couldn't breathe properly, Xiao Mu began to stammer, "This... how can you blame me? Who knew you would be so stupid, unable to understand such a simple principle? I thought you particularly liked this kind of thankless and difficult approach."

"Quickly... let me go, or I'll report you for child abuse!"
