When Ye Mu felt palpitations, Ji Ba's voice also sounded in his mind.

"There is some kind of special power on this mountain that seems to be able to interfere with my emotions." Ye Mu said slowly.

"Go ahead and take a look, be careful." Ji Ba said softly.

Hearing this, Ye Mu walked along the road on Qingshan Mountain, and then went up. As Ye Mu continued to go up, the feeling became more and more obvious. Later, Ye Mu felt dizzy and had to stop.

Rest your steps.

Leaning on the bluestone on the side and looking at the pedestrians walking up, Ye Mu couldn't help but be a little confused. These people had ordinary cultivation, and some even had no cultivation. How could they act like normal people?

But the fact happened before his eyes, and he couldn't tolerate disbelief. Ye Mu thought to no avail, but Ji Ba saw some clues.

"These people seem to have their minds disturbed. If my prediction is correct, they should be controlled by that kind of power." Ji Ba pondered.

Hearing his words, Ye Mu was also shocked: "How is this possible? If such a thing happened, how could the strong men of Qingpan County not care about it?"

Ji Ba was silent for a moment, and then said strangely: "What if those strong men are all controlled?"

"How is this possible?" Ye Mu said with an emotional expression. How is it possible for a strong man to control a county? What kind of strength can he do this?

"Let's go, we'll find out when we go up and take a look." Ji Ba said calmly.

Ye Mu was stunned: "If according to what you said, I can control the strong men of a county, then wouldn't it be a waste if I go up there?"

Ji Ba said angrily: "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. As for this force that interferes with your mind, you should be able to offset it with your mental power."

???

Ye Mu was confused. Mental power? If mental power can offset the influence of this power, how can the people here be controlled?

He couldn't believe that among so many people, there wasn't even one person who cultivated spiritual power.

"You try it first and then talk." Ji Ba continued, his tone seemed a little uncertain.

Ye Mu did not hesitate any longer, and his mental power slowly surged out, and the inexplicable and heart-stopping power was offset.

"Really useful?" Ye Mu asked in surprise.

Ji Ba chuckled, seeming a little proud.

Hearing his laughter, Ye Mu asked, "How do you know my spiritual power is useful?"

"Guessed." Ji Ba laughed strangely.

Ye Mu: "..."

"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Chapter has an extraordinary origin. Since it can be used as a spiritual initiation method, it must have some special effects." Ji Ba explained.

"What if it doesn't work?" Ye Mu asked.

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. I have a lot of control methods here. This level of interference is really not worth mentioning." Ji Ba said in an awesome voice.

Ye Mu rolled his eyes, said nothing more, wrapped his body with spiritual power, and walked towards the lake that the man mentioned earlier.

…

After a few breaths, Ye Mu arrived at his destination.

This should be in the middle of the green mountain. A large piece of bluestone extends out to form a huge depression. Water constantly flows down from the mountain and gathers in it, forming a lake.

The lake is quite large. The surface of the lake is green like emerald. The water is crystal clear and sparkling. The sun falls from the top of the head and falls on the lake, reflecting the bright light, making it look quite magnificent.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered around this wide lake. Ye Mu looked around and saw that those people were staring at the center of the lake with fiery eyes, as if there were some rare treasures there.

Everyone around him was in a daze. Seeing this state, Ye Mu frowned. The obscure fluctuations coming from the center of the lake had been trying to interfere with his mind, but under the influence of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Chapter,

, that kind of power is really insignificant to him.

Looking at the people who seemed to be in some strange state, Ye Mu hesitated for a while, and then decided to sneak into the lake to find out.

"Plop!"

The cold lake water rippled and instantly enveloped Ye Mu's body. At the same moment, Ye Mu also felt a stronger force coming, trying to interfere with his consciousness.

That was the power contained in the lake water. The power on the shore was already strong. All the people around him fell into a daze under that power.

But now, Ye Mu's body comes into contact with the lake water, and the energy contained in it is even more powerful, trying to intrude on Ye Mu from skin to spirit.

Buzz.

Ye Mu silently recited the mantra of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Chapter in his heart, but the power did not affect him at all. He swam towards the center of the lake like a swimming fish.

The closer you are to the center of the lake, the stronger the force becomes. Although the interference is strong, Ye Mu is still not affected by the blessing of the mantra. The spiritual power around him cuts through the water flow, and Ye Mu swims forward without any hindrance.

.

After a few breaths, Ye Mu arrived at the center of the lake.

"The power comes from below! Go down and have a look!" Ji Ba's voice sounded, and Ye Mu did not hesitate when he heard the words, and dived directly to the bottom of the lake.

With the existence of Jiutian Xuanzhang, Ye Mu is not worried about being affected by his sanity like the people outside. As for other dangers, Ye Mu is not worried at all. After all, with the existence of Ji Ba, even if there is any danger, he can easily

resolve.

In the Great Zhou Kingdom, there are only a handful of powerful people like Ji Ba.

The depths of the lake are not as straight and smooth as Ye Mu observed from above. That scene is just on the surface, and what is visible now are dark twists and turns.

And not only are there twists and turns, but there are also many forks. The water flows in the forks everywhere, causing the water at the bottom of the lake to stir.

As the depth continued, the pressure Ye Mu could feel became stronger and stronger. It was not the disturbing force, but the pressure brought by the water.

The pressure was accompanied by a strong cold air, and Ye Mu couldn't help but shiver all over. The powerful spiritual power surged out from his dantian, thickening the spiritual shield around him a lot, and the coldness weakened a lot.

"We can't reach this point in a while. I can't hold it for long with my strength!" Ye Mu looked at the many forks in front of him. Although he could feel the location of the power, the rapids in these forks were too much.

Strong.

Even with his current strength, it would not be easy to pass through it, let alone resist the biting cold.

"Leave it to me!" Ji Ba chuckled.

"Huh?" Before Ye Mu could react, he saw a golden light flash before his eyes, and a figure emerged.

"Why did you come out?" Ye Mu asked in surprise.

The figure in front of him is none other than Ji Ba. Just like the one in the tower, Ji Ba's figure is illusory at this moment, but the strength in his body is astonishing.

"Get ready to go in and get the things inside!" Without answering Ye Mu, Ji Ba waved his hand to signal Ye Mu to step back.

Ye Mu was confused, but seeing Ji Ba's appearance, he had to step back a little, keeping his eyes on Ji Ba.

"drink!"

He only heard Ji Ba shout loudly, and then the power all over his body surged, an extremely terrifying aura rose, and tyrannical demonic power emerged.

"Boom!"

Ji Ba's power caused the water in the lake to start to stir. The winding mountain in front of him shook, and the water rolled and impacted the mountain. The winding roads were also destroyed by this power.

"Fuck!" Seeing Ji Ba's operation, Ye Mu's scalp went numb. It was so rough. He thought there was some good way.

The water in the lake churned and the mountain shook, creating extremely strong pressure. Ye Mu had to swim upward.

As Ye Mu moved upward, the movement behind him became louder and louder. Just when Ye Mu thought that everything here was going to be destroyed today, the terrifying pressure and turmoil behind him gradually subsided.

Ye Mu paused and turned around to see that the winding mountain had been razed to the ground, and the originally turbulent water had calmed down, as if it had been eliminated by invisible force.

And Ji Ba's figure has disappeared, and the source of that power has also completely disappeared.

"Where are the people?" Ye Mu was a little confused.

"Here." Ji Ba's voice suddenly sounded. Ye Mu was startled and looked behind him.

I saw a stone floating in front of Ji Ba. The stone was blue and uneven.

"This is?" Ye Mu asked doubtfully.

Ji Ba said calmly: "The source of that power."

"Ha?! Just this? A stone?" Hearing this, Ye Mu suddenly lost his composure.

How can such a broken stone influence so many powerful people in the outside world? It also has the effect of strengthening spiritual power?

"This is not a stone, this is an egg!" Ji Ba had a joking look in his eyes, seeming to be laughing at Ye Mu's ignorance.

"Egg? What kind of egg is so strong?" Ye Mu was a little unbelievable.

"The egg of a strange beast, with a big origin." Ji Ba explained. Ye Mu stared at him, waiting for his next words.

"No more?" Ye Mu waited for a long time, but Ji Ba didn't say anything.

Ji Ba: "My memory is incomplete and I only have a faint impression of this thing."

Ye Mu: "..."

Ye Mu was used to Ji Ba's unreliability and didn't say much. After observing the bumpy egg for a while and finding nothing unusual, he turned his attention to Ji Ba.

"Why is the power that previously influenced people's minds gone?"

"That power belongs to this egg, no, it should be said to be the original power of this strange beast." Ji Ba pondered.

"Original power?" Ye Mu asked doubtfully.
