Chapter 7: The Wall of the Spiritual Fetus

Although the increase is very slow, it is already quite frightening

For the village chief and others, it is difficult to say whether there are more surprises or more shocks

Brother Qu, it is getting dark soon

The space between the two eyebrows is only as wide as a finger.

As he urged his vital energy to strike against the invisible wall, a stranger occurrence took place; he heard a mysterious voice

Senior Brother Qu whispered, "That little demon's cultivation level is far inferior to ours, and his injuries must be more severe than mine; he won't be able to go far."

This little rascal must have a good medicine for healing

If we truly discuss cultivation, although Qin Mu is young, his cultivation is not inferior to any of them, including Senior Brother Qu

Qin Mu was puzzled. The village chief and Granny Si had mentioned to him about "walls" and "breaking walls." The wall is the seal of each treasure trove within the human body, and breaking the wall means to unlock the seal and obtain the treasure

As a spiritual entity, the spiritual womb wall is inherently open, granting it a natural superiority. In contrast, the spiritual womb wall of ordinary individuals is closed, placing them at a lower status. The elevated spiritual entities seldom concern themselves with the needs of ordinary people

Gradually, Qin Mu discovered that there was a fascia between the bones and skin in his body that the vital energy could not reach, and this place was the center of his brow

The five individuals felt a slight heaviness in their hearts. Brother Qu had already taken the healing medicine from his sect, but its effect was not as good as Qin Mu's "healing medicine." Judging by the extent of Qin Mu's speed increase, it was certain that his injuries were healing at a visibly rapid pace.

Qin Mu ran wildly while repeatedly urging his vital energy to charge towards the invisible wall at his forehead. That mysterious voice kept echoing, causing the vital energy to retreat automatically. Although he could not break through the wall each time, he had plenty of patience and firmly believed that he would eventually succeed in breaking through.

The sun is about to set

He does not intend to inform the village chief and others about his discovery of the "Three Dan Skills of Dominance" today; he plans to wait until he successfully breaks through the barrier before surprising them.

When running at high speed, the "Dominant Body Three Dan Skill" operates at an even faster pace, enhancing the speed of nourishing vital energy and significantly improving the rate of body rejuvenation

And this "little rascal" was actually able to noticeably feel his cultivation improving even while fleeing, which is quite terrifying

The distance from the village is growing further and further away

As Qin Mu ran through the swamp, he encountered a battle between two lord-level exotic beasts, the comb-crested snake-necked snow sculpture and the swamp poison dragon python. One massive creature swooped down from the sky, its wings stirring up a violent wind, while the other coiled in the swamp, creating waves and causing the mountains to shake and the earth to crack.

This strike was powerful, domineering, and astonishingly fast, yet it lacked a bit in accuracy, passing by more than ten zhang away from Qin Mu.

The demon ape, in a fit of rage, leaped forward in pursuit of Qin Mu. After running a few steps, it found its heavy body unable to match Qin Mu's speed. Infuriated, the demon ape reached out and uprooted several large trees, stripping the trunks clean of branches and leaves as if crafting an enormous spear, which it then hurled with a flick of its wrist

In this position, the vital energy cannot reach; his vital energy can flow beneath the scalp, strengthening the skull, but whenever the vital energy approaches the center of the eyebrows, it encounters significant obstruction, as if an invisible wall stands there, blocking the path of the vital energy

The demon ape became even more enraged, uprooting a large tree, intending to strike again. However, Qin Mu had already run far away, leaving it filled with frustration and anger.

However, even without intrusions, many exotic beasts will still venture out of their territories in search of food, making the vast market fraught with danger

This time, while fleeing in a rush and activating the "Dominant Body Three Elixir Technique," Qin Mu suddenly made a new discovery: his vital energy became more lively during the run, and its operating speed increased significantly

However, neither the village chief nor Granny Si and the others have mentioned to him the location of the spiritual womb barrier in the human body, nor have they discussed how to open the spiritual womb barrier

Ordinary people and spirits are fundamentally two different classes of individuals, two distinct social strata.

What Qin Mu did not know was that it was not that the village chief and Granny Si did not want to tell him, but rather that there was simply no technique or method in this world for breaking the spiritual fetus barrier.

However, it is not easy for them to catch up with Qin Mu. Since Qin Mu suffered a loss once, he has become much more cautious, avoiding the territories of those strange beasts while on the run.

At this moment, however, Qin Mu did not take the medicine for his injuries as they had expected. Instead, he ran while practicing breathing techniques, utilizing the so-called Three Elixirs of Dominance taught by the village chief, which was actually just a very ordinary form of guiding exercise, though he was unaware of this.

However, as they continued to pursue, they found that Qin Mu's speed was constantly increasing, as if his injuries were also gradually healing

Fortunately, Qin Mu was originally not as capable as they were. Although he is currently improving, there is still some gap compared to them.

This sound seems to come from beyond the nine heavens, both high and distant, with its pitch rising and falling, melodious and sacred, as if a deity from on high were proclaiming a decree.

The healing medicine from this sect is not of high quality. If we could obtain a superior prescription for healing medicine from this little demon, Master and the others would surely be delighted and greatly reward us

Moreover, the vitality washes over one's internal organs in waves, cleansing the limbs and bones, and even flushing through the fascia between the bones and muscles, again and again

Among ordinary people, there are few martial artists. As for ordinary people who have activated the Spirit Fetus Barrier, even the village chief and Granny Si have not heard of them, and naturally do not know how to break the Spirit Fetus Barrier

And whenever this sound arises, his vitality uncontrollably retreats like the tide, flowing around his brow.

Little brat, die

Brother Qu and the others believed that he relied on superior healing medicine, but they did not expect that he depended on the unreliable "Three Dan Techniques of Dominance"

This is frightening, as it indicates that Qin Mu's cultivation is increasing during his escape!

This medicine for wounds made all five individuals feel a surge of excitement and eagerness

Brother Qu shook his head and said: "It is already too late to go back now. We have traveled too far, and it is impossible to return to the original village before dark. Darkness is dangerous for us, and equally dangerous for the little demon cubs. There is only one way now, and that is to see where the little demon cubs are hiding"

Behind Qin Mu, Senior Brother Qu and the other four also noticed that the sun was about to set. The boy who had been kicked by Qin Mu showed a look of unease and said: "The master once said that the Great Market is a cursed place. After dark, it will turn into a forbidden zone. We must return to the villages protected by stone statues, otherwise, it will be a dead end"

The five individuals circled around the territory of the demon ape and once again found traces of Qin Mu. Indeed, as Senior Brother Qu had said, Qin Mu had been injured by the demon ape, and his injuries were quite severe. After escaping from the demon ape's territory, he had no choice but to slow down, which provided them the opportunity to catch up with Qin Mu

He was injured in his internal organs and bones by the slap of the demon ape, but under the cleansing of vital energy, the cracks in his internal organs and bones were continuously healing

Is this the wall of the spiritual fetus

When the pharmacist took him out to gather herbs, he once told him that the extraordinary beasts of the Great Market possess great spirituality and have their own territories. These beasts leave traces, such as trees with stripped bark, bones embedded in the ground, beast heads hanging on wooden stakes, urine marks, and so on. As long as one observes unusual traces and avoids them, it will suffice

He left with Granny Si in the afternoon, and now the sun is setting in the west. Soon darkness will descend, and if they cannot return to the village before that, they are likely to encounter great danger

There were fist marks on the cliff next to the territory of the previous demon ape, indicating that this was the demon ape's domain. Qin Mu had mistakenly intruded because he did not see the fist marks, but now he is much more cautious and will not accidentally trespass into the territory of other exotic beasts

After practicing for about ten years, Qin Mu had been cultivating the "Three Dan Techniques of the Dominant Body" according to the methods taught by the village chief. It was only now that he realized that practicing the techniques while running might yield even better results.

Before Qin Mu could charge into the swamp, he was blown away by a whirlwind created by two massive creatures. Upon landing, he collided with a herd of startled wild buffalo, nearly being trampled to death by the stampede.

What he did not expect was that Qin Mu was not weak in cultivation; his cultivation was not weak at all. It was merely because his vital energy had no attributes that its power could not be fully exerted

He forced himself to rise, but let out a muffled groan; his chest was truly in great pain, fearing that several of his ribs had been broken by the demon ape's strike. However, if even a little demon like Qin Mu could withstand the demon ape's critical hit, he naturally could endure as well

Anyone who practices does so step by step; even if one breaks through a barrier successfully, the improvement in cultivation must be gradual. It is impossible to achieve significant results all at once. Who has not spent dozens of days, months, or even years in persistent practice to see progress in their cultivation

Qin Mu felt a slight heaviness in his heart, as the five individuals behind him relentlessly pursued him, making it impossible for him to return to the village. Moreover, what was even more terrifying was...

However, this is different from what the village chief taught. The village chief imparted to him the "Three Dan Skills of Dominance," which require him to sit quietly, adjust his breathing, gradually inhale and exhale, cultivate his vital energy, transport his vital energy, and use it to nourish his body

Brother Qu and the other four became increasingly anxious as they pursued. The "little demon brat" ahead was not merely recovering from his injuries; his speed had actually improved compared to before
