Supreme Tamer

Chapter 769: Chapter 639: The Vanishing Spiritual Origin

Late at night, Chu Mu stood alone by the lake in the valley.

The lake water flowed down from the mountain and then through an underground river to the outside world. A few days ago, the entire lake was red, but now it has become much clearer.

Chu Mu looked at the sparkling lake water with a gradually bewildered gaze. After returning to the clan, he was easily reminded of many things and naturally enjoyed sitting alone…

“Chu Mu, why aren’t you resting?” A gentle voice came from beside Chu Mu.

Chu Mu knew who had come, and a faint smile appeared on his face: “This is resting for me.”

“Have your soul pets recovered? You recently fought an entire tribe.” Chu Qian walked slowly to Chu Mu’s side and spoke softly.

“Not yet; the higher the level of soul pets, the slower they recover their physical and combat strength.” Chu Mu shook his head.

“Oh, you’ve improved so fast. A few years ago, when you were in the Great Chu Noble Family and fought the Nightmare Demon Palace’s Little Princess, your strength really surprised me. I didn’t expect you to become the top expert in the entire West Region. I can hardly believe that the person who can contend with a whole tribe is the same Chu Mu who almost couldn’t even become a Soul Pet Master back then.” Chu Qian spoke with a light laugh.

“Hehe, it’s been so long; things are bound to change.” Chu Mu sighed with emotion, his eyes fixed on the lake waves.

The starlight and moonlight reflected on the lake’s surface and into Chu Mu’s black pupils, making his eyes look even more captivating…

The water’s surface mirrored Chu Qian’s slim and beautiful figure with long hair coiled up, leaving a few soft strands that fluttered gently in the breeze.

The two didn’t talk much, sometimes even remaining silent for a long time.

Such silence wasn’t inappropriate, as both were just thinking about their own affairs.

“Have you fallen in love with someone?” Finally, Chu Qian broke the stillness, uttering a sentence that somewhat surprised Chu Mu.

Chu Mu then turned his body slightly to look at Chu Qian, who had her head slightly lowered.

Chu Qian was mature and beautiful, a woman with delicate thoughts. Her words pierced through the lingering haze, and also indicated that she knew how to handle the subtle relationship between the two of them.

Chu Mu nodded: “Yeah.”

“Is it the princess?” Chu Qian asked tentatively.

Chu Qian believed that with Chu Mu’s current strength and immense potential, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to win the high-status Nightmare Demon Palace Princess. This was because even the massive Nightmare Demon Palace would probably not have such a young Emperor-level expert like Chu Mu.

Chu Mu shook his head; Princess Jinrou was merely a vague affection that had risen in the past, not really true love.

“Then it must be the girl who went with you to the Great Chu Noble Family. I remember her name is Ye Qingzi, right?” Chu Qian smiled.

Chu Mu was stunned but nodded, replying, “Yeah, it’s her.”

“Does she like you too?” Chu Qian continued to ask.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded again.

“That’s good. Why didn’t she come with you?” Chu Qian asked.

“She has her own things to do. We agreed to leave traces in some cities to the east. If we’re nearby, we’ll meet up…” Chu Mu said.

Thinking of Ye Qingzi, Chu Mu couldn’t help but picture her figure in his mind, the corner of his mouth revealing a smile. He wondered where she was and whether she had significantly improved her abilities through the teacher’s will, or had obtained even more medicinal herbs to enhance the refining skills of a Spirit Master.

Up until now, Chu Mu still felt regret that Ye Qingzi left too hastily, not giving him a chance for further intimacy. He hadn’t even tasted Ye Qingzi’s cold but passionately charming lips…

However, this gradual process of warming up to each other and falling in love was the most unforgettable part.

Chu Mu wasn’t in a hurry to get all of Ye Qingzi for himself. Rather, it was just the feeling of longing when she was not around that made his heart itch. He couldn’t help but want to leave the West Region now and head east towards World City to reunite with her.

Chu Qian looked at Chu Mu, and her acute intuition quickly detected the slight anticipation that spread across Chu Mu’s usually cold face. This expression was not much different from the feelings of ordinary youths in love. If there was any difference, it was that Chu Mu was much calmer and slower than inexperienced boys.

Seeing Chu Mu reveal these emotions, Chu Qian understood. With a smile, she asked Chu Mu about the course of their meeting…

Chu Mu didn’t avoid answering, slowly recounting the rough outline of their journey from finding the Cold Pool to arriving at World City. For the first time, he shared the experience of unknowingly falling in love with a woman…

Chu Mu was only a young man, and this was the first time he truly loved a woman. He was nowhere near as experienced as those old hands in romance. So, at this moment, he wasn’t as silent as before, narrating with a smile on his face.

“That’s really nice.” Chu Qian nodded, a smile on her face after listening to Chu Mu’s story. “You two will definitely be very happy together.”

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded.

“I should go back, or else my father will be looking for me everywhere. He’s always worried about me…” Chu Qian said.

“Alright, I’ll stay here and meditate.” Chu Mu enjoyed talking with Chu Qian.

However, Chu Mu did not notice Chu Qian’s bitter and disappointed expression when she turned away, followed by forcing a smile…

Of course, whether Chu Mu understood the feelings of the girl chatting with him about another girl, only he would know.

…

After Chu Qian left, Chu Mu let out a soft sigh, gazing at the water to calm his emotions.

Chu Mu closed his eyes and began to meditate.

The Soul Pets had consumed much of their fighting power, and Chu Mu’s own Soul Power had not fully recovered. The soul power elixir that Ye Qingzi had given him was very precious, and Chu Mu was reluctant to use it unless it was a special situation.

“Huh? When did my Soul Sense level up!?” Chu Mu was surprised to discover this fact when he began meditating.

“I’ve been striving to break through, but I couldn’t reach Nine Thoughts Spirit Soul Master. As a result, when I didn’t meditate and thought about Qingzi, I actually advanced!” Chu Mu was genuinely surprised.

Nine Thoughts Spirit Soul Master, only one step away from reaching Soul Emperor.

For Chu Mu, becoming a Soul Emperor holds great significance. Not only could he use Soul Sense to strengthen Emperor-level Soul Pets, but Chu Mu could also finally break free from Triple Control and enter the realm of Quadruple Control!!

Summoning four Soul Pets to fight at the same time – the excitement of such a change didn’t need any explanation!

“It seems that Qingzi is indeed a woman who brings her husband good luck.” Chu Mu grinned, his face beaming innocently.

…

In the east, in the grasslands.

“What’s wrong, Qingzi?” Ye Wansheng looked at Ye Qingzi, who had suddenly stopped, and asked with confusion.

Ye Qingzi shook her head and let her Purple Robe Dream Beast follow Ye Wansheng’s Starfield Devil Steed.

“Why am I thinking about him again, with that same expression…” Ye Qingzi muttered to herself.

What Ye Qingzi referred to was Chu Mu’s expression when he had a serious look on his face even when he was saying shameless things. His eyes held a “what’s wrong with what I said?” scepticism. Every time she thought about him talking to her like that, Ye Qingzi couldn’t help but secretly grumble. It made others feel that Chu Mu was being genuine, and that it was always she, the girl, who was being overly imaginative.

“Hehe, soon I’ll have even better soul pets! In a few years, when I run into Chu Mu again, maybe my sub pet will be able to deal with him. Hahaha, seeing Chu Mu’s face go black would be very interesting,” Ye Wansheng laughed maniacally.

Ye Qingzi, with thoughts of Chu Mu in her mind, was startled by Ye Wansheng’s laughter. Realizing that the guy was talking to himself, she rolled her eyes and said, “We haven’t even found the ingredients for the formula yet.”

“No worries, we’ll find them eventually. And as for those who bullied us in the past, we need to make them realize just how powerful I, Ye Wansheng am!!” Ye Wansheng said excitedly.

Ye Qingzi didn’t say anything more. Although their strength would grow rapidly after receiving their teacher’s last will, with no bottleneck, she felt strangely confident in Chu Mu. Perhaps even Ye Qingzi didn’t know where this confidence came from. After all, the treasure their teacher left them was something ample Soul Emperors would go crazy for.

…

Barbarian Mountain Range.

“How could it be, how could this happen?!! Where did the Leopard Tribe go, and where’s the Spiritual Source?!! My Spiritual Source!!!”

On the cliff, the holes that almost made Sun Qiming lose his sanity were the cause of his outburst.

At that time, when Sun Qiming and Luo Heifei passed by, they spotted a one-time Spiritual Source and secretly excavated it, letting the energy leak out. However, due to the interference of the Leopard Emperor and the entire Leopard Tribe, the two had to leave temporarily and plan for the long term.

With their strength, they could have dealt with the Leopard Tribe, but it would attract too much attention and the news would quickly spread.

This time, after arriving at Seven Color City, Sun Qiming worried that West Marsh had made its move first, so he visited Barbarian Mountain Range to check.

As a result, the entire Leopard Tribe in the Barbarian Mountain Range was gone without a trace.

Even if the entire tribe were lost, the most important thing was that the Spiritual Source had also been stolen!!

It took a long time for Sun Qiming to calm down from his anger. He and Luo Hei were criminals, and if they were exposed, their Soul Pets would be sealed and they would be imprisoned in the Mysterious Tracks Prison.

They had taken such a great risk to secure their success. If it ended up being a wasted effort, anyone would go mad.

After a long time, Sun Qiming finally started to cool down.

“There aren’t any corpses of the Western Marsh Lizard Clan here, so it’s impossible for them to have beaten us. Could it be that Qiu Di took it and then deliberately pretended to be unaware?… But it can’t be. Qiu Di should have just arrived in the West Region and wouldn’t have gotten the news about the Spiritual Source. He hasn’t even been to Seven Color City yet…”

“Could it be… could it be the 30,000 survivors of Seven Color City?”

“There’s also a large group of Leopard Tribe living in the Barbarian Valley. If they go there, they’re also destined to die. Those who survive must have powerful experts with them… hehe, whoever dares to swallow my, Sun Qiming’s treasure must be itching for death. I’ll make you spit it out!!” Sun Qiming growled furiously with a flushed face!

After speaking, Sun Qiming, filled with intense anger, headed towards the Barbarian Valley to kill! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) and support the story with your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
