Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 410: Chapter 379: Elimination_1

“It’s other cultivators!!!”

The crowd was not foolish, they quickly thought of this possibility.

Following that was another terrifying conjecture.

The opponent has a way to eliminate spatial cracks!!

Considering the various treasure news they had encountered earlier, this conjecture became even more credible.

The prior guess made them grind their teeth in anger, but the latter one sent chills up their spines.

Because this not only means that they could only trail behind others, but it also has a far-reaching implication.

Most of the existing secret realms were fragments formed after small worlds shattered. Apart from the various lethal formations, hazardous areas that exist in the small worlds themselves, the biggest trouble is the spatial cracks of all sizes.

If there’s a way to eliminate spatial cracks, not only can they gain a huge advantage in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, but they can also take advantage in all other secret realms in the future. This would significantly impact a power.

Moreover, there’s another point that could drive all powers crazy: usually, those in the Divinity Transformation Stage who wish to enter the spirit realm need to traverse through spatial passages. Unless there are capable beings from the upper realm to guide them, there is a great risk of falling.

During this process of traversing through spatial passages, spatial cracks also constitute a significant threat.

If the people in the Divinity Transformation Stage who are cautious about traversing spatial passages in the lower realm find out about this method, they might go insane.

No matter how you look at it, the value of this method is unimaginable.

“Give up searching for treasures, and proceed at the fastest speed. We must catch up with them, no matter what!”

For the first time, the three powers are united in their wish to acquire the method to eliminate spatial cracks.

Unfortunately, since they had arrived one after the other and suspected each other, it was impossible for them to unite.

If they really united, they might have been able to cause Xu Mu some trouble in this secret realm.

…

Xu Mu had no idea that his actions had caused a huge uproar among the three major powers. At this moment, he was still using the Sky-splitting Halberd to collect treasures everywhere, making a lot of gains.

He hadn’t been active for three years, and now he was making up for it with three hundred years’ worth of loot!

After so much collection, he had gathered all the resources necessary for his wife and child to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage. As long as they reached the necessary state of mind, it wouldn’t be impossible to help them all advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future.

If they could conceive offspring during the Nascent Soul Stage, the entire Mortal Realm would probably belong to the Xu Family.

“But why haven’t I encountered the Xuan Yang Holy Water yet?”

Xu Mu furrowed his brow.

Although collecting treasures was fun, he hadn’t forgotten his main purpose for coming here.

“If I don’t find it this time, I’ll have to leave first!”

Xu Mu sighed.

While he hadn’t achieved his main goal, among the numerous treasures he had collected were some top-grade ones. Although they couldn’t repair innate damage, they could replenish his life force, allowing him to live another hundred years – which wasn’t an issue.

This meant that if he didn’t find the Xuan Yang Holy Water this time, there would be a next time.

Besides, one hundred years is a long time. Anything could happen, so there was no need to insist on the Xuan Yang Holy Water without considering alternatives.

Having made up his mind, Xu Mu collected a few more spiritual medicines nearby and prepared to leave.

The reason he didn’t take more was because-

“Another formation has been triggered!”

Xu Mu took out a compass used to locate formations. It had countless points of light, marking sense formations he had laid casually. As long as a living thing approached, they would automatically burst.

Due to the numerous spatial cracks in the core area, even with numerous spiritual medicines, monster beasts wouldn’t recklessly enter. Hence, the only thing could cause the formations to explode were other practitioners.

Xu Mu did not want to run into them. Although he was completely confident that he could calmly escape from them now, he followed the principle of not courting disaster. He had to be careful.

With the Sky-splitting Halberd in hand, Xu Mu flew towards the periphery of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

The Xuan Yang Secret Realm is different from the secret dwellings of ancient cultivators. The so-called core area had just a bit more spiritual energy, more spiritual medicines, more spatial cracks, there were no other special places.

Not long after he started flying outwards, Xu Mu detected through his compass that cultivators were approaching. Therefore, he hurriedly put away the Sky-splitting Halberd, made his body ethereal, and drilled underground.

Soon, a large group led by Cluster Stars Sect appeared within Xu Mu’s perception.

“As expected of Cluster Stars Sect, their speed is really impressive!” Xu Mu exclaimed.

If he hadn’t been prepared in advance, he might have been cornered by Cluster Stars Sect.

Xu Mu was quite confident in his ability to hide. As expected, Cluster Stars Sect did not notice and hastily flew past his hiding place.

To catch up with Xu Mu, the people of Cluster Stars Sect had already put away their tower ship and even didn’t bother to hunt for treasures. As a result, the number of casualties was significantly less than the previous times. This was after Xu Mu’s surprise attack; otherwise, the number of casualties would have been even less.

Of course, if Xu Mu hadn’t appeared, Cluster Stars Sect wouldn’t have given up on the treasures to chase him.

These cannon fodder cultivators seem to have their own luck!

Once the cultivators of the Cluster Stars Sect flew far away, Xu Mu revealed himself and continued flying outward. Not long after, he had to hide again as another batch of cultivators arrived. This time, it was Butian Pavilion, and the leader was Lian Hongshuang.

Xu Mu didn’t have a good impression of Butian Pavilion, and he hesitated over whether to seize the opportunity to strike.

With the Sky-splitting Halberd in hand, he was invincible. Plus, with the element of surprise, he might be able to trap Butian Pavilion’s people.

The reason he thought of attacking, apart from his dislikes and enmity towards Butian Pavilion, was another factor.

If he could capture these people, especially Lian Hongshuang, and then he used the secret technique – Yin and Yang Harmony, he could-

Save himself hundreds of years of hard cultivation and might even directly advance to the middle Nascent Soul Stage.

For him, the women cultivators of Butian Pavilion were like human-shaped big elixirs, that worked miracles and had no side effects.

However, after some pondering, Xu Mu gave up on this tempting idea.

“Having enmity is one thing. Taking advantage of someone’s body to enhance cultivation level isn’t any different from evil cultivators or demons!”

He wasn’t scared of evil cultivators or demons. What Xu Mu feared was that he would be hooked on it, and think about such things every day. That could pose a lot of problems, not only would it add to his Heart Demons, but it would also potentially draw him into danger. This was not in line with his careful personality.

For instance, this time, if he took action, even if he managed to trap Butian Pavilion’s people, he might also draw attacks from the other two powers from both sides, which could lead to a net loss in the end.

Greed! It is indeed a sin that humans find hard to escape from!

Even he almost fell into it!

After Butian Pavilion had left, Four Seas Immortal Palace arrived before Xu Mu could come out. However, compared to Cluster Stars Sect and Butian Pavilion, the ranks of Four Seas Immortal Palace were somewhat disorganized. Apart from the Foundation Establishment Stage, there were also various odds and ends like those who refined corpses into specters.

“Four Seas Immortal Palace indeed accepts all kinds of people, and they even dare to send them into a secret realm! But it would be a miracle if even one or two of them manage to survive! Good thing I didn’t join them through Mo Wuxin, or else it would certainly be a big trouble!”
