136: Return to Blue Planet

Hearing Lin Mu’s confident tone, the Green-clothed Woman no longer hesitated.

She imprinted a section of the Great Spatial Countercurrent Technique into her mind, then casually tossed it towards Lin Mu.

Lin Mu took it without the slightest hesitation, imprinting it directly into his mind.

Instantly, a pure segment of cultivation memory merged into Lin Mu’s memories.

Lin Mu closed his eyes, carefully pondering this memory.

Seeing this, the Green-clothed Woman quietly stood aside, once again lost in her own reminiscences.

The sun rose and set, cycling three times.

Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with excitement, mixed with an inexplicable emotion.

He muttered to himself, “Lu Ziming, my dear son, we will meet again very soon.”

“I wonder what expression you’ll have when you see me again.”

Lin Mu suppressed the urge to immediately activate the Great Spatial Countercurrent Technique.

He turned to look at the Green-clothed Woman, only to find that she was also looking at him.

The Green-clothed Woman was somewhat incredulous at this moment.

She couldn’t believe that Lin Mu had mastered the Great Spatial Countercurrent Technique in just three days.

She herself had taken a hundred years to comprehend this divine ability.

It took her another hundred years to fully master it.

She had always been confident in her own talent, and she couldn’t believe that her talent would differ so greatly from the person in front of her.

She tentatively asked, “You haven’t already mastered it, have you?”

Lin Mu nodded, “This cultivation technique is indeed profound and unfathomable; even I barely managed to grasp it in three days.”

“To fully master it and truly use it, I estimate it will still take some time.”

The Green-clothed Woman, at this moment, felt an urge to commit suicide immediately.

She couldn't help but inwardly grumble.

“He mastered it in just three days and still complains it’s too slow.”

“If he knew I took a hundred years, wouldn’t he laugh me to death?”

As the Green-clothed Woman thought of this, the look in her eyes towards Lin Mu became resentful.

Lin Mu felt a bit uncomfortable under this sudden gaze.

He thought the Green-clothed Woman was displeased that he was too slow to comprehend.

He said, somewhat apologetically, “Please don’t be offended, Miss. This is my first time encountering such a heaven-defying spell, so I’m a bit rusty.”

“I’ve kept you waiting.”

“But speaking of which, do you really want to die that badly?”

Hearing Lin Mu’s words, the Green-clothed Woman felt even more bitter.

She said with an angry tone, “I truly wish to die immediately; please do it quickly.”

Lin Mu, uncharacteristically, said, “Are you sure you’ve thought it through? For the sake of this cultivation technique, I can spare your life.”

The Green-clothed Woman chuckled, “Although I admit I am no match for you, if I wanted to escape, I have a hundred ways.”

“There’s no need for further words; just do it.”

Hearing this, Lin Mu no longer procrastinated.

Good words are hard to persuade a ghost seeking death.

He opened his palm and, with a grab, both the Green-clothed Woman and her husband were held in Lin Mu’s hand.

Lin Mu asked in a calm tone, “Do you have any last words?”

The Green-clothed Woman tightly hugged her husband’s corpse.

She said with a hollow voice, “If there truly comes a day when you can kill Jia Lan,”

“Please be merciful and spare my eldest brother.”

“Although he was heartless towards me, I cannot be unjust.”

“And please tell him that I, Hao Rong, no longer owe him anything.”

Lin Mu nodded slightly and said, “I’ve noted it. Rest in peace.”

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he clenched his fist, then slowly opened it.

There was nothing left in his palm.

Having completed all this, Lin Mu had no time for further sentiment.

He had more important things to do.

Returning to Blue Star was his obsession.

He had to thoroughly master the Great Spatial Countercurrent Technique as quickly as possible.

He extended his hand and grabbed repeatedly at his surroundings.

Mountains were pulled towards him.

He continuously formed hand seals with both hands.

The mountains he had pulled were arranged in a regular formation.

With mountains as the formation and the sky as the eye.

This was a grand defensive formation he had comprehended himself.

He was confident that even a Divine Emperor would not be able to easily break through this formation.

After setting up the formation, Lin Mu sat down again to continue comprehending the Great Spatial Countercurrent Technique.

Spring passed and winter came; three years flew by in a flash.

Lin Mu opened his eyes again.

During these three years, he meticulously studied every detail of the Great Spatial Countercurrent Technique.

He was now fully confident that he could return to Blue Star.

At once, Lin Mu no longer hesitated.

He took out the heaven-reaching divine mirror and then activated the Great Spatial Countercurrent Technique.

As he cast the spell, a spatial-temporal gate slowly condensed and formed before his eyes.

Lin Mu suppressed his excited feelings.

He continued to channel his divine power, stabilizing this spatial-temporal gate.

Only when it was fully formed did Lin Mu stop his actions.

He slowly walked into the spatial-temporal gate, then pinpointed the image of Blue Star in his mind.

He lifted his foot and stepped into the spatial-temporal gate.

In a small third-tier county town in Ji Province of Blue Star.

In a secluded warehouse.

A blood-soaked man was suspended in mid-air by his hands.

He continuously coughed up blood, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

In front of him, a middle-aged man with a brutish face roared furiously.

“Brother Han, I never would have thought you were an undercover agent!”

“I, Old Niu, treated you like a brother, and this is how you repay me.”

As he roared, he repeatedly struck the Man surnamed Han with an iron rod.

The Man surnamed Han grunted a few times from the blows.

Then he weakly said, “I am an official, and you are a bandit. What camaraderie can there be between us?”

“Even if you kill me today, someone will still apprehend you and bring you to justice later.”

Old Niu couldn't help but laugh a few times at these words.

He said with an arrogant tone, “Whether I’ll be caught, I don’t know.”

“But I do know that you will surely die today; not even the King of Heaven can save you.”

No sooner had Old Niu finished speaking than the sole hanging lamp above them began to flicker.

Immediately after, a strong wind suddenly blew through the previously airtight warehouse.

Old Niu and his few subordinates were all blown off balance by the strong wind.

Old Niu continuously cursed, “This is truly seeing a ghost! Where did this strong wind come from?”

Old Niu had barely finished complaining when the strong wind suddenly stopped without any warning.

Old Niu was stunned for a moment, then looked around.

With that look, he was immediately startled.

The warehouse, which had only a few people, now had a Man in White Clothes in ancient attire, at some unknown point.

Old Niu, with a tense expression, pulled out a handgun.

He pointed the handgun at the Man in White Clothes and asked, “Who exactly are you, playing tricks here?”

The Man in White Clothes glanced at the few people indifferently, without speaking.

Old Niu saw that the Man in White Clothes actually dared to ignore him.

He immediately became enraged.

His hand unconsciously pulled the trigger.

The handgun spat fire, firing a bullet.

Then, the Man in White Clothes, facing the incoming bullet, neither dodged nor flinched.

He gently extended two fingers and easily caught the incoming bullet between them.

Seeing this, Old Niu was so scared that he plopped down on the ground.

He screamed in terror, “Oh my god, I really did meet a ghost!”

The subordinates behind Old Niu scrambled out the door, terrified.

Seeing this, the Man in White Clothes waved his hand again.

Immediately, the few fleeing subordinates fell to the ground, dead.
