Tenth-level Mysterious Realm, Layered Heavens, Chu Mu knew there was still a long journey to walk before he could truly enter that mysterious, unknown realm. Just like now, there was an insurmountable distance between himself and those heavens.
But Chu Mu believed that one day, he would fly to the top of the clouds with his Wind Element and Winged Soul Pets, experiencing the exhilarating peak of the heavens!
“If you head towards World City, you should encounter a Seventh-Level Mysterious Realm. This Seventh-level Realm is connected with another Eighth-level Mysterious Realm. There is a gorge that spans across the Earth Realm between them. Young Master, you can gain experience in the Seventh-Level Realm, but it’s best to avoid entering the Eighth-Level Realm,” Fox Elder quickly pulled Chu Mu back to reality.
Chu Mu could only marvel at the Tenth-Level Mysterious Realm that seemed so distant for now. What he should do right now is lower his head and focus on the journey at his feet.
World City’s territory was vast, larger than many Earth Realms combined. On this vast land, there were many Mysterious Realms that excited Chu Mu. Even though he could reach World City within half a month, Chu Mu was willing to spend a whole month traveling through these Mysterious Realms. On one hand, he could increase his Soul Pets’ power, and on the other, he could gather enough funds for himself.
After a few months of travel and experience, Chu Mu’s White Nightmare Demon had reached Seventh Rank Ninth Stage, its combat power still the strongest among Chu Mu’s Soul Pets.
Mo Ye, stimulated by the White Nightmare Demon, constantly surpassed itself. Over these months, Mo Ye had increased its strength to Seventh Rank Eighth Stage. Chu Mu estimated that once he completed the trade for the Nine-Tailed Flame Fox’s heart in World City, Mo Ye would be able to truly advance to the Eighth Rank.
The Nine-Tailed Crown Flame Fox’s species ranking was high-ranking Commander-level, but its combat power had reached the low-grade Monarch level. As most of his Soul Pets’ combat power increased, Chu Mu felt it was necessary to boost Mo Ye’s combat power to Intermediate Monarch level, so he would not be completely powerless when facing experts like Ting Lan.
The heart of the Nine-Tailed Flame Fox, worth one hundred million, could let Mo Ye transform into an Eighth Rank Second Stage, and its combat prowess could be increased from low-grade Monarch to somewhere between low-grade Monarch and Intermediate Monarch.
To enhance a Monarch-level Soul Pet’s combat power, extremely expensive Spirit Items were required. Chu Mu estimated that without spending another hundred million, it would be difficult for Mo Ye to reach an Intermediate Monarch rank.
In addition, Zhan Ye’s current Stage had also been raised to the Seventh Rank Fourth Stage. Zhan Ye’s offensive and defensive capabilities were not extremely outstanding. To make Zhan Ye exert more power, Chu Mu believed that it was necessary to fully arm Zhan Ye.
The price of full Seventh-level Soul Armor would be around 50 million, while the Seventh-level Soul Armor would be around 30 million. Those two Soul Armor pieces could directly increase Zhan Ye’s combat prowess to the low-grade Monarch level.
The most important aspect was that Zhan Ye could continuously enhance its strength through the Courageous Sting’s Heart. As long as Zhan Ye was fully armed, there would be no problem for Zhan Ye to reach low-grade Monarch Level after the full eruption of the power from the Courageous Sting’s Heart.
Besides, Chu Mu’s Night Thunder Dream Beast had been stuck at the Seventh Rank Ninth Stage for quite a long time.
Chu Mu felt it was essential to spend 50 million to purchase Spirit Items that would allow the Night Thunder Dream Beast to break through its current level.
The Night Thunder Dream Beast had reached a bottleneck, and the ordinary Demon Spirit Auras from the Demon Spirit Houses could hardly satisfy its current rank. The extremely expensive Spirit Items became the best method to strengthen the Night Thunder Dream Beast since it wasn’t lacking in battle experience.
Over the past few months, Chu Mu had been letting is Night Thunder Dream Beast participate in battles frequently, hoping it would become his first Eighth Rank Soul Pet. Chu Mu believed that as long as he found the right Spirit Items, the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s Stage could be improved.
Now at the Seventh Rank Ninth Stage, the Ice-Feathered Spirit had benefited from Chu Mu’s constant devouring of Ice Element Spirit Items. The Ice-Feathered Spirit’s Ice Crystal had been upgraded to an intermediate level, and its combat power should be closer to an Intermediate Monarch level.
Chu Mu also calculated that if the Ice-Feathered Spirit could control the Ice Colored Glaze, its combat power would reach the High-Level Monarch level.
There was a vast gap in strength between low-grade Monarch and high-grade Monarch levels. Clearly, for the Ice-Feathered Spirit to control the Ice Colored Glaze and reach the high-grade Monarch level was not as simple as Fox Elder had suggested previously.
The Demon Tree Warrior’s Stage was the same as the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s. There was a clear bottleneck between the Seventh and Eighth Ranks, which was difficult for Soul Pets to transcend. They needed continuous battle and extremely effective Spirit Items. Most of Chu Mu’s Soul Pets were stuck at this Stage. He could either overcome this obstacle and see a significant improvement in his strength, or he would continue to wander miserably in the Seventh-Level Mysterious Realm, earning an insufficient income…
In fact, Chu Mu’s abilities were already quite strong. Many Soul Pet Masters of his age or even older still traveled in teams within the Sixth-Grade Mysterious Realm, where their earnings were only around one million each time.
Many Seventh-level Soul Pet Masters who wanted to enter the Seventh-level Mysterious Realm had to form a team that was extremely suitable for survival in the wild. With this method, the rewards they earned had to be divided equally among them. Each experience would reward them with only around ten million each.
Chu Mu now had the ability to enter the Seventh-level Mist Realm completely on his own, and each time he did so, he would be alone. Although it might take some extra time, the rewards were all for him to take, about 40 million.
For a twenty-year-old Soul Pet Master, this level of strength and income seemed like a fairy tale. But Chu Mu believed that only through constant self-improvement could he enhance his strength in the shortest time possible.
Chu Mu roughly estimated that, including the 20 million spirit items needed for his Ninth Stage Ghost Dome King and the 50 million spirit items needed for his White Nightmare Demon to reach the Eighth Stage, his group of Soul Pets all stuck at the Seventh Rank Ninth Stage would need…
“Mo Ye 200 million, Zhan Ye’s equipment 80 million, Ghost Dome King 20 million, Demon Tree Warrior 50 million, Ice-Feathered Spirit 50 million, Night Thunder Dream Beast 50 million, White Nightmare Demon 50 million, that’s a total of… 500 million!!” Chu Mu counted on his fingers, his eyes widening in disbelief.
“I have 60 million on hand, plus the 40 million from capturing those Soul Pets. That’s only 100 million – I still need 400 million…” Chu Mu grew more and more dispirited as he counted.
Chu Mu had only bought information on Level 6 wild hunts, and his journey did not bring him any particularly valuable spirit items. Therefore, in these three months, in addition to raising the stages of his Soul Pets, and deducting the ice element spirit items he ate and normal consumption, Chu Mu had only earned about 40 million. Of course, the main reason was that he prioritized traveling; if he had focused on hunting, there would undoubtedly have been more income…
If Chu Mu’s Soul Pets couldn’t break through the Seventh level on their own and reach the Eighth level, Chu Mu would still need a whopping 400 million to quickly increase their strength. The question was, where would Chu Mu get that 400 million?!
Wandering through the Sixth-Grade Mysterious Realm would only yield profits ranging from 5 million to 10 million without any accidents. The Seventh-rank Mysterious Realm would yield around 40 million.
In order to accumulate 400 million, Chu Mu would need to explore about ten Seventh-level Mysterious Realms, and that would be on the premise that there were no mistakes in those ten attempts!
“Young Master, the danger in the Seventh-level Mist Realm is not too strong. If you are careful and cautious on your own, you should be able to come and go freely,” Fox Elder advised.
Chu Mu stood on a tree branch, gazing at the massive basin ahead…
Inside the Seventh-level Mysterious Realm, the places where Chu Mu wanted to obtain spirit items and capture Soul Pets were usually guarded by Eighth Stage Commanders, and occasionally Ninth Stage Commanders.
Chu Mu’s Seventh Rank Monarch Soul Pets could fight one-on-one against Eighth Rank Commanders, so as long as Chu Mu was cautious, he would still be able to obtain what he wanted smoothly.
However, in the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm, the potential profits could reach hundreds of millions. But Chu Mu would have to face: Tenth-rank War Generals, Ninth-rank Commanders, or even Eighth-rank Monarchs…and occasionally, Tenth-rank Commanders and Ninth-rank Monarchs might appear…
“Entering the Seventh-level Mist Realm would take almost a month each time, with a meager return of around 40 million. There are less than nine months left until the World’s Chosen Competition, and I have to spend almost all my time here… Fox Elder, if I can’t raise the average strength of my Soul Pets to the Eighth or Ninth level, then I won’t even qualify for the second-tier of the World’s Chosen Competition, will I?” Chu Mu asked.
“Well… that’s for certain… But, Young Master, don’t be too impatient. Your strength needs to be gradually improved step by step. I suggest you spend the remaining nine months either training in the Seventh-level Mist Realm or fighting against high-ranking contestants in the World’s Chosen Competition. It’s not a requirement to use spirit items for your Soul Pets to cross the bottleneck; continuous fighting is also possible. As long as you can ensure that your White Demon, Little Fox, Night, Ning, and Old Tree are all promoted to the Eighth level or above before entering the World’s Chosen Competition, and then achieve good results in the third-tier, you would have performed exceptionally well,” the Fox Elder said.
Chu Mu shook his head. If Chu Tianmang, from the first time he participated in the World’s Chosen Competition, had already made a name for himself in the second-tier, and Chu Mu couldn’t surpass him, then how could he talk about reclaiming his dignity for him?!
Finally, Chu Mu made up his mind and said, word by word:
“I want to enter the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm!”
