Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 273: Chapter 242 Seizing the Secret Realm_1

“Can’t hold on much longer, huh? Hah!”

Xu Mu sneered inside.

With him cultivating Kun Peng Tun Tian Jue and possessing the Space Grasp Pearl, protracted battles were the least of his worries.

Furthermore, the Great Sun Refining Shape Skill and Bloodline Power he was deploying consumed extremely little Spiritual Power, trying to exhaust him was a pure delusion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sky-splitting halberd in Xu Mu’s hands was swung around, tearing through the air and emitting a terrifying hum.

No one could withstand his attacks, truly demonstrating the power of overwhelming strength.

“Ahh!”

Blood was spraying everywhere, and screams were echoing in the air. As Xu Mu slaughtered the leader, the remaining cultivators were completely broken, scattering in all directions.

“Trying to run away now? That’s laughable!”

Since they’ve already started fighting, the roots of the problem must be eliminated to prevent future trouble.

Space Grasp Skill!

Xu Mu squeezed the Finger Jue, chanted a spell, and activated the Spiritual Power in his body. Eight cyan-purple arms covered with mysterious runes stretched out from his back and were noticeably thicker than a normal person’s legs.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The eight arms clenched their fists, swelled, and shot out like cannons at the fleeing crowd.

Each arm resulting from the Transcendent-level Space Grasp Skill had the attacking power of a late-stage Golden Pill cultivator giving it their all.

With every heavy collision, some were blown to smithereens, while others were severely wounded. Not a single person escaped.

After handling everyone, Xu Mu returned to his original form and caught one of them using his skill arm.

“If you don’t want to suffer, open up your mind!”

After checking several people’s souls, Xu Mu finally figured out where he had ended up.

“I’ve ended up in the Eastern Region! This transmission array sure sent me far!”

As far as he knew, the Fairy Moon Palace was millions of miles away from his current location. Even in non-stop flight, it would take half a year to get there. However, it worked out well for Xu Mu because the hiding place of Ye Yingying and the others was near the Eastern Region. Starting from here would be much closer than starting from the Fairy Moon Palace.

Xu Mu slapped the people to death and stripped them of all their belongings. After refining all their storage bags, Xu Mu opened all of them to take a look, only to discover quite a few items.

“As expected of thieving cultivators who do business, they are indeed wealthy!

From what Xu Mu could gather from the soul search, all these people were notorious thieving cultivators of the Eastern Region, committing every sort of crime, and this was their secret base. Regardless of the reason, Xu Mu would never be allowed to leave.

Of course, this also meant that Xu Mu had no qualms about dealing with them. Except for the Spirit Stones, Xu Mu didn’t touch anything in their storage bags. According to the soul search, these people were audacious enough to rob Da Yuan Dynasty not long ago and were currently being hunted down by the Palm Immortal Office of the Da Yuan Dynasty.

If it weren’t for their secret base being a rare small secret area, they probably would have been captured by the people from the Palm Immortal Office.

There were many of Da Yuan Dynasty’s possessions in these storage bags, and he dare not bring them out.

The Da Yuan Dynasty was not an ordinary mortal kingdom, but an entity on par with several major holy lands in the central region. Rumour has it that they were invincible during the Divinity Transformation Stage, and they were the only Dynasty of cultivators throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent.

The Da Yuan Dynasty’s Palm Immortal Office was the same as ancient dynasties’ Six Doors in his previous life, targeting powerful cultivators in particular. They were widely known for their reputation.

The Fairy Moon Palace was powerful, but it was at least ten times weaker than the Da Yuan Dynasty.

Xu Mu did not want to conflict with the Da Yuan Dynasty over some trifle.

“That said, these guys are pretty lucky to have found such a hidden secret place!”

Xu Mu took flight and used his Divine Intent to envelop the entire secret area. This secret area was not big, around ten kilometres in circumference, the surface was covered by low-level Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Plants. There was a medium-sized Spirit Vein in the center with a Spiritual Spring nearby. Other than that, there was nothing else.

The house where Xu Mu currently was, was located near the Spiritual Spring.

This secret area had not been discovered for long, and these people had no intention to maintain it, making it look semi-wild.

“The concentration of Spiritual Energy is not that high, and it’s not a super­sized secret area, but it’s pretty good. If it is used as a base for a family, it would be perfect!”

If it truly was a super-secret area, they might not be able to keep it. If it was exposed, it might bring huge trouble.

Xu Mu was initially worrying about where to start, but this place was undoubtedly the most suitable.

The Eastern Region was far enough from the Southern Domain. Even if the battle was fierce, it would not affect them.

“But before that, I have to check the surrounding situation!”

Xu Mu looked at the bodies of the thieving cultivators on the ground. Instead of destroying them right away, he set out a storage bag and temporarily collected them.

“These bodies may be very useful in the future!”

After dealing with these bodies, Xu Mu flew around the secret area. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he headed towards the entrance.

As he was flying, he took out the token marked with the phrase “Butian”.

He originally thought this token was a symbol of the Butian Pavilion. Now it seems it’s not that simple.

“Once Ying Ying and the others are settled, I’ll find a way to investigate this secret area thoroughly. Since the token brought me here, it can’t just be a simple random teleportation!”

According to Liu Wuheng, the random teleportation array would send people at most thousands of miles away, it couldn’t suddenly increase a hundredfold.

The situation now must have been caused by this token.

Through the entrance of the secret area, Xu Mu easily went outside. After breaking the protective formation at the entrance, Xu Mu saw his surroundings: a desolate jungle with a thin Spiritual Energy.

“The thin density of spiritual energy here implies that there are mortals living nearby. I wonder whether no one has discovered this secret area! I also wonder how those thieving cultivators happened to find it!”

This secret place was discovered by the head of the thieving cultivators. However, that person was immediately killed by Xu Mu’s Space Splitting Halberd and his soul was completely destroyed, so it would be impossible for Xu Mu to check his soul.

Xu Mu set up a concealment formation at the entrance, ensuring that no one would discover it before he hid his presence. Only then did he use the Light Body Skill to rush to the distance.

The reason for using the Light Body Skill was to avoid attracting attention in case anyone was around.

If people found out that a high-level cultivator was haunting these parts, some might start snooping around. If they came to investigate, it could possibly expose the secret area.

After traveling several hundred miles, he began to see signs of civilization. Xu Mu landed and dressed in common attire. He began to walk forward slowly, looking like an old man gathering medicine in the deep mountains.

Soon, a very faint voice came from the distant bushes.

“There’s prey! Get ready!”
