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

"Don't chase! Deal with these tree people first!" a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator who had rushed over said.

"Damn it!"

The young Nascent Soul cultivator reluctantly stopped his actions. Although the other party had only taken away a few insignificant cannon fodder, being ambushed and losing people from his hands was quite embarrassing.

With the cooperation of the three individuals, the tree spirits that were conjured by spells were quickly killed one by one.

However, when they assessed the losses afterwards, the faces of the three individuals couldn't help but darken. This surprise attack had directly caused them to lose half of their cannon fodder, making their future exploration of the secret realm much more difficult.

"This person! Damn it!"

The young man's eyes were filled with killing intent, causing even the surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators from the Stellar Gate to tremble and dare not look directly at him.

"The aura on this person is not right. It doesn't feel like a cultivator from our human race!" one of the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators with white eyebrows said.

"I also noticed that. There's a hint of the sea race!" another Nascent Soul elder with a hooked nose said.

"This is the Cangming Sea region. It's difficult for Nascent Soul cultivators from the sea race to approach, let alone enter the Xuan Yang secret realm. Only the three of us know the method to enter. Even if the sea race were to luckily discover a way, they wouldn't dare to send Nascent Soul cultivators in! This person must be someone from the other two forces disguising themselves and intentionally coming to ruin our good fortune!" the young man said coldly.

The Nascent Soul cultivator with white eyebrows and the elder with the hooked nose exchanged glances and couldn't help but nod.

The chances of it being the sea race were indeed slim, and the other party's nonsensical actions were also in line with the style of the two forces. They didn't want to offend them but wanted to burden them.

In this give and take, they would gain more benefits.

Otherwise, with the number of Gold Core cultivators from the sea race, there was no need for them to come and plunder.

"Do you know who those captured people were?" the Nascent Soul cultivator with white eyebrows asked.

"The situation was too chaotic at the time. There was no time to investigate!" the young man helplessly shook his head.

At that time, they were only focused on fighting. Who would have the time to observe these trivial details? Moreover, as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, would he remember the origins of a few cannon fodder?

"Have the people below investigate. Maybe they can find some clues!" the elder with the hooked nose said.

"I understand, Senior Uncle!" the young man respectfully said.

"Is there no response from the tracking device?" the Nascent Soul cultivator with white eyebrows asked.

To prevent the cannon fodder from escaping, they had placed tracking restrictions inside each one of them. Even if they ran thousands of miles away, they would still have a vague direction.

"Not yet!" the young man shook his head again.

"Perhaps it's being interfered with by the secret realm. Let's try tracking again when we join forces later. If it still doesn't work, we'll just kill them!" the Nascent Soul cultivator with white eyebrows said coldly.

They didn't care about a few cannon fodder, but they also wouldn't allow the other party to gain any advantages.

"Alright!"

...

"In this way, even if the other party dreams, they shouldn't be able to associate it with me!" Xu Mu secretly thought to himself.

That's right, the person who had just transformed into a sea race member and captured people was Xu Mu.

He had caught up with the Stellar Gate's team a long time ago, but he had never found an opportunity to make a move. This opportunity wasn't perfect, but given the circumstances, he had no other choice but to take action.

Fortunately, the timing wasn't too bad, and with the chaos caused by the summoned tree spirits, it should be enough to confuse their senses.

If they can still trace it back to him like this, then it would just be his bad luck.

As for where the few people were now?

Naturally, they were inside the Soul Refining Cauldron. He had no other place to hide them.

"First, create some distance and see if there's a way to remove the restrictions on the Phoenix Sparrow!"

The reason he captured more people was not only to confuse the situation, but also to use them for experiments.

"Hiss!"

Xu Mu, who was flying, suddenly stopped. There was a half-healed wound on his thigh, and the severed leg bone could be seen inside.

Just a moment ago, he was grazed by a small spatial crack. Because it was too sharp, he didn't react until it completely severed his leg.

"These spatial cracks are really difficult to deal with!"

Looking at the rapidly healing wound on his leg, Xu Mu couldn't help but furrow his brow.

The slightly larger cracks were still detectable, but these extremely small ones were too difficult to notice. Moreover, the deeper he went, the more there were, and even he started to get hit.

For now, it was only affecting his body, which not only didn't harm him but also served as a way to temper his Myriad Tribulations True Body. However, if it were to harm his head, heart, or even his core Nascent Soul, that would be troublesome.

"If only I had a Law Weapon that could protect me from attacks on vital areas!" Xu Mu sighed.

If he really had such a Law Weapon, with the wonders of his Myriad Tribulations True Body, he would not only be able to rampage through the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, but also have peace of mind.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Don't I have such a Law Weapon on me?"

Xu Mu wasn't referring to the Soul Refining Cauldron. Although the grade of the Soul Refining Cauldron could indeed withstand the destruction of spatial cracks, unfortunately, with his current strength, he could only control it simply and couldn't use it as a Law Weapon for flying.

He was referring to another Law Weapon—the Rift-Splitting Halberd!

Although he hadn't refined the Rift-Splitting Halberd, he could still use it as an ordinary weapon.

As long as he used the Rift-Splitting Halberd as a shield while flying, holding it in front of him.

As for the issue of the Rift-Splitting Halberd being too thin and lacking a large surface area to withstand force, it wasn't a big problem for him now. He just needed to use some bone-shrinking techniques.

Without hesitation, Xu Mu's body crackled and softened like a piece of meat, then he took out the Rift-Splitting Halberd and held it in front of him, flying forward.

"Hmm?"

After flying for a while, Xu Mu realized something was off.

Because since he took out the Rift-Splitting Halberd, he hadn't encountered a single spatial crack. This clearly didn't make sense, considering he hadn't done any exploration or evasion.

He stopped and returned to his normal state, then used his spells to find a nearby miniature spatial crack and observed what happened when he placed the Rift-Splitting Halberd on it.

Something strange happened—the spatial crack disappeared the moment it touched the Rift-Splitting Halberd.

"No! It's not disappearing, it's more like—"

Xu Mu looked at the Rift-Splitting Halberd in his hand and murmured, "It absorbed it! Unbelievable! It's so unbelievable that this Rift-Splitting Halberd has this ability!"

This was something Xu Mu had never expected. Although he didn't know the underlying principle, this function undoubtedly had a huge impact on him now.

"Damn it! Why didn't I take it out and try it earlier! If I had known that the Rift-Splitting Halberd had this ability, I could have rampaged through the team from the Star Gate in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm without being so cautious!"

The reason the people from the Star Gate didn't chase after him was partly because of his high cultivation level, but also because the spatial cracks were too dangerous and could easily trap them.

Faced with a secret realm full of tiny spatial cracks, neither the people from the Star Gate nor Xu Mu dared to fly freely.

Now that Xu Mu had the Rift-Splitting Halberd as a shield, at least in terms of speed, no one could catch up to him.

"Although I didn't discover it earlier, it seems like it's not too late now!"

Xu Mu's eyes gleamed. The entire Xuan Yang Secret Realm was like a treasure trove for him now.

For example, the Haoyang Divine Tree that the Star Gate had just discovered!
