Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 123: Transformation

Swoosh!

Xu Mu, who had transformed into a half-human, half-shark Xu Mu, swiftly swam underwater like a silver lightning bolt.

The surrounding schools of fish, faced with this sudden figure, did not panic and scatter in all directions. Instead, they seemed to be attracted to him and chased after him.

"Interesting!"

Xu Mu stopped and the schools of fish swam up to him on their own, motionless.

He could faintly sense their intention, which was to let him eat them.

This strange scene shocked Xu Mu.

"Is this an excessive worship of the weak towards the strong, or is it the natural law of marine creatures?"

Xu Mu couldn't understand.

The thoughts of these fish and shrimp were too simple, and communication was impossible.

Although it was interesting, they were somewhat obstructing his view.

"Get out of the way!"

Xu Mu opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and shouted coldly.

His teeth and vocal cords had undergone a strange transformation, allowing him to speak underwater. However, the tone was slightly strange, more like a peculiar sound wave frequency.

The sound spread out, and the surrounding schools of fish immediately panicked and fled.

Xu Mu instinctively suppressed his aura, so the schools of fish didn't come to disturb him.

"If I had this ability in my previous life, it would be great for fishing in the sea!"

The thought flashed through Xu Mu's mind as he began to dive deeper into the sea. He wanted to see how much water pressure his body could withstand.

One hundred meters!

No feeling!

Two hundred meters!

No feeling!

Three hundred meters!

Hmm?

Reached the bottom!

Xu Mu didn't expect that the sea area he was in was so shallow.

Even at a depth of three hundred meters, he still didn't feel any pressure, as if the surrounding seawater didn't exist.

Xu Mu tried to retract the bloodline of the Illusory Thunder Silver Shark, and immediately felt as if his whole body was weighed down by sandbags.

"With the strength of my body, I can still feel obvious pressure. If an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator doesn't have a magic tool to protect them, their strength would probably be reduced by fifty percent, and this is only in the shallow sea!"

According to Xu Mu's knowledge, even the shallowest sea areas where the sea clan lived were five hundred meters deep. Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators would not only find it difficult to fight, but even moving would be challenging.

Even if it was a Foundation Building cultivator, encountering a few Qi Refining cultivators from the sea clan would probably result in a beating.

However, the human race could survive in this sea area, naturally having their own unique methods and not being completely defenseless.

There were many means to alleviate this pressure.

If they really reached such deep sea areas, they would not be completely powerless to fight back.

Xu Mu wandered around within a radius of a hundred li, but only found a small trench that could reach a depth of about four hundred meters.

After experimenting, at this depth, even his strength was reduced by ten to twenty percent. Fire-based spells were basically useless, but lightning-based spells didn't change much.

"Could it be that no one cultivates fire attribute techniques on the sea? Fighting in the sea is really disadvantageous."

Not only in the sea, but even on the sea surface, they would face the same disadvantage.

Because there were clearly more water elements on the sea surface than on land, spells of the same level had a significantly greater power when they were water-based.

"I originally wanted to find a sea clan to broaden my horizons, but it seems impossible now."

There couldn't be any sea clan in such shallow sea areas.

Although the sea clan was like a fish in water underwater, they would be greatly weakened on the sea surface. Unless forced, they wouldn't live in shallow sea areas, and they wouldn't even enter the shallow depths.

Just like human cultivators, they wouldn't foolishly run into the deep sea.

If he were to recklessly run to that position, it would be like being a fish on a chopping board.

Although he hasn't experimented with the limits of his transformation, Xu Mu doesn't plan to venture deeper.

Perhaps his current form allows him to interact with the sea tribe and gain great benefits.

But he currently has no shortage of resources. For him, practicing the Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique is only to change his aura and hide his identity.

Since the goal has already been achieved, there's no need to go looking for trouble.

"I'll go another time! It's a pity I didn't find a suitable target to test the power of the Illusory Thunder!"

Silver lightning flickered in Xu Mu's hand. In the next moment, he threw it at a large swimming octopus. The lightning flashed, and the octopus immediately stopped in its tracks, as if it had lost its soul.

Xu Mu patted it, and the octopus immediately woke up, swimming away in fear.

It seems that the effect of the silver Illusory Thunder is to paralyze the soul and create illusions, rather than causing any destructive power.

However, it is very useful as a supplementary attack. Giving the enemy a shock at a critical moment can definitely turn the tide.

But Xu Mu doesn't know its specific strength, whether it is effective against Foundation Building or Gold Core stage cultivators. If it's useless, then it becomes a waste.

However, the strongest sea beasts in the nearby waters are only at the third rank, so the full power of the Illusory Thunder cannot be tested.

Xu Mu shook his head, feeling a bit regretful, and returned to his residence on Misty Island.

As Xu Mu emerged from the water in his Silver Shark form, he immediately felt a lack of breath. Every step he took consumed a lot of energy.

Under the scorching sun, his skin didn't feel any pain, but there was an indescribable discomfort that made him restless.

When he circulated his spiritual power, the situation improved slightly, but it was still uncomfortable.

"I can endure it, but my combat power is clearly greatly reduced in this state!"

"But compared to humans entering the deep sea, it's still much better! This is probably why the sea tribe is stronger than the human tribe!"

Xu Mu thought to himself.

Xu Mu didn't have a masochistic tendency. After experiencing the feeling of being a sea tribe member, he transformed his body using the Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique once again.

In the end, he only retained his silver hair and burly physique. This slight change didn't make him feel uncomfortable.

At the same time, this transformation completely changed his aura, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator wouldn't be able to tell.

This is the marvelous aspect of the Twelve Shocking Awakening Technique!

At this moment, Xu Mu could truly rest easy because no matter what means the other party used, they would never be able to find him again.

The old him had completely disappeared.

Back in his cave, Xu Mu set up a communication array and made sure the safety of the several women before entering a state of cultivation.

At the same time, relying on the Star Observation Disk to continuously confirm his position, Lian Hongshuang received a message asking her to return.

"Sister, are you kidding me? I've been searching for several months, and I was about to find it. Now you're asking me to go back?"

Lian Hongshuang was very unhappy upon receiving the message.

The Star Observation Disk can only locate the approximate position of the other party, and she still needs to search for the specific location herself.

She had already searched most of the areas in the past few months, leaving only some remote areas to be searched.

When Qiu Jixing sent the message, she realized that the Star Observation Disk had lost track of the other party's aura.

There are only two explanations for this situation: either the other party has reached an area that even the Heavenly Spirit Treasure cannot sense, or the other party is already dead.

"What a waste! I thought I had great luck!"

Lian Hongshuang almost didn't need to think to guess that Xu Mu was already dead.

Because as long as he is in this world, the Star Observation Disk would never be unable to sense him.

Since the person is already dead, there is no need to continue searching. Lian Hongshuang can only return home.

In this way, a great life and death crisis was silently extinguished.

At the same time, Xu Mu received a message from Xu Yiren, saying that there was something important to discuss and he must come over.

Originally, Xu Mu didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, he realized that this might also be an opportunity.

An opportunity to experiment with the Illusory Thunder!

Perhaps he could also subdue the Whale Sea Gang while he's at it.

Although the influence of the Whale Sea Gang is not great, if he can control them, it might still be useful!
