I AM GRINDING EXPERIENCE IN ANOTHER WORLD

“What the… How did he actually manage that?”

“The Ninety-nine Inheriting Heaven Dharma Prohibition that seals countless demons and monsters—he just waltzed in like it’s nothing?”

“I was freaking bluffing!”

In the Gourd Cave Heaven, Nine Heads stared at the rift in the sky in stunned disbelief, his nine faces filled with shock.

…

Chen Mu’s vision blurred, and the surroundings changed in an instant.

The cave was still the same cave. The peach forest was still the same peach forest. Even the thin crack on the stone gourd in front of him looked exactly the same. The only thing missing was the peachwood stool he’d been sitting on.

Who stole my stool?

The thought flashed by, and Chen Mu quickly realized the truth.

No one had stolen his stool. The world itself had shifted.

Through the stone-carved gourd, he had entered a deeper layer of the seal.

Swish!

The Truth Listening Divine Power immediately filled the almost identical underground space. Nineteen Moli Silver Peach Trees popped into his perception.

Chen Mu’s lips curved into a smirk.

…

Several days later, silence reigned in the newly discovered underground cave.

Chen Mu leaned against the cold stone gourd, sitting on a second-generation peachwood stump, his eyes locked onto the ebony Peach Wood Core before him.

The power of the Nine-Life Tribulation Splitting Technique surged forth. The Peach Wood Core, like wax under a flame, slowly melted into a pool of liquid, then gradually stood upright again.

An hour later, a grinning little black-faced puppet took shape, floating mid-air before him.

Chen Mu waved his hand, stowing the puppet into the Five Ghosts Bag. Gazing at the bag’s compartments, packed full with over a hundred Peach God puppets, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

“The faces might be a little off, but the sheer number is delightful.”

“With over a hundred Peach Gods, I might just survive the Five Thunders Bombarding.”

It had been seven days since he entered the second-level Sealing Cave Heaven.

Over the past few days, his routine was clear: Every morning, he’d report to the Grinding Stone Workshop, produce twenty or thirty pounds of Demon Qi Stone Powder, and then promptly leave—only to dive right back into the Sealing Cave Heaven to craft more Peach Gods.

Previously, he didn’t dare linger in the underground cave, leaving as soon as he collected the Peach Wood Core.

But thanks to the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture, Chen Mu could now clearly sense the Ninety-nine Inheriting Heaven Dharma Prohibition. Despite the cracks, he knew it was still extremely secure. This assurance allowed him to stay and commit fully to crafting Peach Gods.

“The Netherworld still has its treasures,” Chen Mu mused over the wonders of the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture, continuously amazed.

This Secret Technique originated from Yunzhou of Da Qian.

When he first returned from the Netherworld to Yunzhou, by sheer chance, he was made the Living God of Luandu County’s City God Temple. It was then he found the Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture stored inside the Divine Statue Cave Heaven of the City God Temple, free for his study.

“I never imagined this Secret Technique would allow access to the Ninety-nine Inheriting Heaven Dharma Prohibition.”

He turned his head to look at the dull-gray stone gourd behind him, understanding dawning in his heart.

“The City God Dojo and the Inheriting Heaven Dharma Prohibition—they must share some sort of connection. This gourd behind me is probably akin to the core protective artifact of the City God Statue.”

Chen Mu called up the Gray Wall interface, focusing on one of the entries.

Spiritual Treasure Pivot Scripture: 5957/10000/Sixth Rank;

“I can barely meddle with it now, but if I max out its rank, I might even gain full control.”

After a moment’s thought, Chen Mu shook his head to dispel the idea.

He was only after more Moli Silver Peach Trees, and gaining access to the deeper Sealing Cave Heaven was already more than enough.

“It’s just a pity that the demons in this layer of the seal aren’t very smart.”

Chen Mu glanced at the crack on the gourd and let his Truth Listening Divine Power seep inside.

“Kill, kill, kill… Eat, eat, eat… Die, die, die…”

The maddening roars of insanity bombarded his ears, making his head throb.

The demons sealed here had clearly gone utterly insane from centuries of confinement.

Scratching his itching ears, Chen Mu retracted his Divine Power.

“If only they were sane enough to talk. I might be able to swindle some Demon Primordial Qi out of them. I’ve had the Heavenly Demon Armor Secret Technique stuck at the brink of Seventh Rank Perfection for ages.”

He sighed regretfully.

With a flick of his fingers, the Nine Cups Algorithm activated, allowing him to briefly calculate the surface-world time. Standing up, Chen Mu scanned the distant peach forest, confirming that he hadn’t missed a single Peach Wood Core among the nineteen Moli Silver Peach Trees.

Wrapping himself in the Triple Yin Slaying Demon Technique, he launched himself upward like a fish breaching the sea. With a soft “pop,” he slipped seamlessly into the pitch-black rock ceiling of the cave.

He weaved upward through the earth, and within a few breaths, Chen Mu emerged above ground in a secluded corner of Prison Valley.

“Exiting the second-level Sealing Cave Heaven still puts me straight on the surface.”

“Two layers of seals overlapping, yet both remain connected to the outside world?”

“Fascinating.”

Glancing at the faint morning light, Chen Mu clasped his hands behind his back and leisurely began ascending the cliffside steps.

“Let’s report in at the Grinding Stone Workshop first.”

“Tonight, I’ll give the next layer of the seal a shot.”

“Nobody’s explored that place in ages. The amount of hidden Moli Silver there is probably astonishing.”

“Time to strike it rich…”

…

In the first level of the seal, Nine Heads crouched at the crack leading into the Gourd Cave Heaven, his three-pupil eyes glued to the cavern outside the fissure.

“Based on that guy’s usual patterns, he must’ve returned to the surface by now.”

“Which means I have at least half a day before he reenters the underground cave.”

“If I release this Primordial Qi now, there’s a high chance I can evade his notice and successfully reach my counterpart.”

Over the past month, he hadn’t been idle.

After a moment’s calculation, Nine Heads made his decision.

A silvery thread as fine as a strand of hair shot out from the center of his brows.

The crimson scale armor covering his body immediately began to dull at a visible rate.

Nine Heads stared at the potent aura emanating from the Primordial Essence before him, his expression equal parts reluctant and regretful.

The Primordial Qi was indeed immense in power, but the Inheriting Heaven Dharma Prohibition was even stronger. Despite the fissures caused by the shifting heavenly stars, it still suppressed his Primordial Qi, reducing it to a mere fraction of its original strength.

Weakened and slowed, moving the Primordial Qi toward his counterpart became significantly riskier.

“Damn this Inheriting Heaven Dharma Prohibition.”

“Damn that little thief!”

Gritting his teeth, Nine Heads grumbled a couple of curses before taking a deep breath. He focused on guiding the Primordial Qi through the crack in the seal.

But no sooner had the Primordial Qi begun to slip through than he sensed something amiss.

The usual impenetrable resistance had lessened significantly.

“The crack… It’s widening?”

“HAHA!”

“All those Nine-Life Tribulation Splitting Techniques I sent out are finally paying off!”

Nine Heads’ face lit up with elation as he fully concentrated on moving the Primordial Qi outward.

In moments, the Primordial Qi had extended an inch beyond the stone gourd.

Normally, this would’ve taken two or three hours at the very least.

“It’s working!” Nine Heads exclaimed in joy.

But before his grin could fully form, a tremendous suction force suddenly arose from within the fissure of the seal.

The moment the Primordial Qi breached the boundary of the Gourd Cave Heaven, it was as though an invisible rope had yanked it downward.

In a flash, the entire strand of Primordial Qi was dragged back into the gourd’s depths, vanishing without a trace.

Nine Heads froze in stunned disbelief.

Wait, where’s my Primordial Qi?

Where did my sleek, radiant strand of Primordial Qi disappear to?!

AAAAAAHHH!!!
