"Everyone, attack together, block it, ah~"

The zombie horde and flock of ghosts let out horrific howls, attacking in unison, trying to block the onslaught from Xiao Mu's command token.

The might of the token was exceedingly strong, sending them into panic. They put all their energy into their attacks.

For a moment, the air was filled with deadly miasma and blood qi, everywhere was tainted with a potent scent of death.

Nevertheless, it was futile. The command token in Xiao Mu's hand, imbued with the abundant Buddha power from the Immaculate Spring, was simply too powerful to be fended off by beings of their level.

"Ah~"

The continuous shrieks of those about to die echoed, as the zombie horde and the ghosts began dropping like flies.

Power +8.

Power +8.

...

Xiao Mu could hear the unending sound of notifications in his ear, revealing a smile on his face.

Indeed, possessing a powerful artifact is remarkable! Normally, gaining so many energy points would not be such an easy task for him.

This time, he got much more than he expected.

It was worth coming to Putuo Temple after all.

Haha!

Only then did he have the leisure to carefully inspect the newly acquired command token.

The front side of the token bore the character 'Buddha'. The peculiar strokes seemed to contain some special power.

This reminded Xiao Mu of an array.

Perhaps the token's power comes from this 'Buddha' character.

Upon trying it again, as expected, each use released a formidable power from this 'Buddha' character.

Collecting his Buddha command token, at this moment, the flow of the Immaculate Spring suddenly increased, flooding into all seven gateways.

As the spiritual spring water washed over him, a chilling sensation spread throughout his whole body, followed by a burst of intense comfort.

It was extremely soothing. Every cell in his body seemed to be basking in joy, growing and proliferating.

Xiao Mu could even hear the sound of his cells flourishing and changing, like the falling of spring rain nurturing young sprouts.

An endless stream of vitality flowed into his body, transforming it.

He could clearly sense that his body had changed instantly; it was more spiritual and full of vitality.

In the past, his body was just ordinary, you could say it was a mortal shell.

Now, emboldened by the transformation, his body emanated a unique aura, as if it had transcended to another level.

Xiao Mu himself knew that this feeling was an illusion. To completely transform his body, he needed at least to reach the True Realm.

At the current Mortal Realm, even if he cultivated to the highest realm, it would still be just a mortal shell.

Nevertheless, that unique feeling was extremely vivid and clear in his mind.

What's more, he felt that something else had been added to his body. That was something condensed from his blood qi, which looked like strands of auspicious clouds.

The transformation by the Spiritual Springs had put him one step closer to extraordinariness.

"Haha!"

Xiao Mu was overjoyed, laughing out loud involuntarily.

"Xiao... Mr. Xiao."

Chen Yanli timidly asked in a soft voice, "Can I... Can I use one of the Spiritual Springs?"

Xiao Mu had killed all the ghosts and zombies, making it only him and Chen Yanli left around the Immaculate Spring.

Xiao Mu only occupied one path to the spring, while the other six springs were idle, and the spring water was wasted as a result.

However, before obtaining Xiao Mu's permission, Chen Yanli dared not step into them, fearing she might upset Xiao Mu.

His formidable power had thoroughly scared her, and she dare not act rashly without his permission.

Is she really that scared of me?

He glanced at Chen Yanli.

Seeing the fear on her face made Xiao Mu feel a peculiar sensation.

Am I really that powerful?

Being powerful is really enjoyable!

No wonder everyone wants to become stronger. As a strong person, not only can you occupy more resources, but you can also induce fear in people.

Right now, he was very clear that even if he made a seemingly impolite request on the spot, Chen Yanli would not only not refuse but will also readily agree with it.

This is the benefit of being powerful.

There is no need to pursue actively; a little hint is enough for people to take the initiative to approach.

A moment later, he casually nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, thank you for your generosity, I will forever remember your kindness."

Chen Yanli was overjoyed and infinitely grateful, frequently expressing her gratitude to Xiao Mu.

Only then did she occupy one gateway and began to transform her body.

The spring water of the Immaculate Spring only lasted for about fifteen minutes before it stopped flowing.

Feeling the state of his own body, a smile emerged on Xiao Mu's face once again.

He could clearly sense the increase in his strength. Although there was no progress in his realm, and he was still just on the edge of the late Spirit Communication Realm, his actual strength had increased by at least fifty percent.

Though on paper this increase seemed not much, in reality, it was earth-shattering.

Keep in mind, for mutated beings, even just a thirty percent difference in strength could result in a higher-powered individual overwhelming a weaker one; what if it was fifty percent?

"Let's go, to the Guanyin Hall."

As the spring water ceased, Xiao Mu quickly gathered his things, releasing his Fire Dragon Vehicle. He beckoned Chen Yanli aboard and drove towards the Guanyin Hall.

As soon as they moved away from the range of the Immaculate Spring, Xiao Mu noticed something strange.

Has the power of the command token weakened?

It's unable to use the Buddha power from the Immaculate Spring again?

It seemed the borrowing of Buddha power was subject to distance constraints, and could not be too far from the Immaculate Spring.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation, he sighed, stored away the command token and continued on his journey to the Guanyin Hall.

Along the way, both of them encountered numerous mutated beings, at least a hundred or so, including humans, evil ghosts, zombies. It was shocking that only the Greenfin Clan was missing.

Xiao Mu felt odd but also realized another situation.

Perhaps due to the limited time, most of the mutated beings who entered the Putuo Temple went directly to the Guanyin Hall instead of the Immaculate Spring.

The landscape was becoming more mountainous, the terrain increasingly steep, and the number of people more and more, with experts gradually joining in.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Xiao Mu put away his Fire Dragon Vehicle and he and Chen Yanli decided to hike up the mountain.

This time, unlike their experience at the Immaculate Spring, many humans have formed alliances, intent on guarding each other.

Some even approached Xiao Mu, asking him to join their group, but he refused.

While having more people meant greater strength, it could also bring more trouble.

The number of people heading to the Guanyin Hall was too high, so Xiao Mu decided to keep a low profile. His goal was to achieve his purpose quietly, without attracting attention.

At the end of the day, the reason for doing so was because the command token had lost its power now that they were far away from the Immaculate Spring; otherwise, he would have taken out the command token and waged a major battle.

Abruptly, there was a disturbance ahead, a conflict had sprung up.

"Get lost!"

Boom!

There was a deafening explosion, a result of powerful beings clashing punches and kicks.

"Ah~"

Screams echoed throughout, people were being killed left and right.

"What's happening?"

Xiao Mu was taken aback, he and Chen Yanli both stopped in their tracks.

"Kill them!"

"This is mine! Who dares to compete with me! Get out!"

Angry roars reverberated incessantly, and the conflict escalated rapidly.
