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

Chapter 371: Opening of the Secret Realm

Above the sea, fierce winds and raging waves were present.

A white streak of light swept through the storm and rain, instantly crossing a distance of several miles. It abruptly came to a stop, causing the winds and waves within a hundred zhang radius to be suppressed by an invisible force, gradually calming down.

The streak of light slowly dissipated, revealing a young man dressed in a green robe.

This young man was none other than Xu Mu, who was heading towards the spatial rift.

"We can't fly any further. If the people from the Heaven Patching Pavilion notice us, it will be troublesome!" Xu Mu muttered to himself.

This place was only three to five hundred li away from the island where the spatial rift was located. Flying any further would enter the perception range of Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If there were Nascent Soul stage cultivators stationed on the island with the spatial rift, even if they didn't know about his plan to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, they would definitely become vigilant.

There were only a limited number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators in this entire sea area. The appearance of any unfamiliar Nascent Soul stage cultivator would definitely arouse suspicion.

That was why Xu Mu had rarely ventured outside in recent years, in order to avoid being discovered.

Xu Mu stopped and formed hand seals with his hands. Spiritual energy surged within his body, causing his muscles and bones to twist and quickly transform into the appearance of a half-human, half-shark silver-haired sea tribe member.

Xu Mu smiled, "In this way, even if they discover me, they will only blame it on the sea tribe!"

As for when a new Nascent Soul stage cultivator appeared in the sea tribe, it wouldn't be so simple to investigate.

After the transformation was complete, Xu Mu plunged into the sea, his aura instantly disappearing without a trace.

With the profoundness of the Ancestral Infant, Xu Mu could bring any cultivation technique to its extreme. Coupled with the Twelve Startling Awakening Technique, it was almost impossible for him to be discovered while hiding in the sea.

Xu Mu merged into the sea like a current, swimming towards the direction of the island. Not long after, the barren island with the spatial rift appeared in his field of vision.

The island he saw now was just an illusion created by a formation. The real island had long been transformed into a paradise-like place.

Xu Mu completely submerged his body into the sea and quietly approached the island. Soon, he sensed the unique aura of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

"They actually sent a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to guard the island. Is it because of the killings I committed last time, or is it because the Xuan Yang Secret Realm is about to open?" Xu Mu pondered in his heart.

He didn't dare to continue deeper. If he was discovered by the other party, it would be troublesome for him to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

Xu Mu activated his cultivation technique, completely concealing his aura. It was as if he had entered a state of false death. Even if a Nascent Soul stage expert used their divine sense to scan at close range, they would never be able to discover him.

Xu Mu focused his mind on the Soul Refining Cauldron, teaching the two people inside how to cultivate.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

On this day, a new Nascent Soul stage cultivator arrived near the island with a dozen or so Gold Core stage men and women.

The leader of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator was a cute little girl who appeared to be only seven or eight years old and was chubby and adorable in her red clothes.

"It's the third elder of the Heaven Patching Pavilion, Lian Hongshuang!"

A gleam flashed in Xu Mu's eyes as he guessed the identity of the little girl.

It was someone from the Butian Pavilion, and she looked like a young girl, so it wasn't difficult to guess her identity.

Afterwards, Xu Mu extended his perception to the more than ten Gold Core stage cultivators behind Lian Hongshuang, and he sensed that most of them had weak and turbid auras, unlike normal Core Formation cultivators. He had seen a similar situation with Feng Que.

"They are fake pill cultivators brought here as cannon fodder! It seems that the Xuan Yang Secret Realm is about to open. But for the Butian Pavilion to bring so many fake pill cultivators at once, they must have spent a lot of money." Xu Mu thought to himself.

Lian Hongshuang and her group arrived near the island and stopped. Then, the formation on the island opened, revealing pavilions and towers with a picturesque scene of birds chirping and flowers blooming. A woman with blue eyes, accompanied by a group of Butian Pavilion disciples, stood at the entrance to welcome them.

"It's Yun Mengyao!"

Xu Mu didn't dare to look too much, but after confirming the people stationed there, he retracted his perception and continued to lurk. On the other side, Lian Hongshuang was greeted by Yun Mengyao and they walked into the formation on the island together, chatting and laughing. It seemed that they had a good relationship.

"I wonder who will enter. If it's Lian Hongshuang, then I'll have an easier time!" Xu Mu thought to himself.

Lian Hongshuang was an experienced Nascent Soul cultivator. Although her cultivation level hadn't reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage, she definitely had more means than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. It was said that she was also the daughter of the previous Pavilion Master, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator. She might have left behind some life-saving methods for her. If he were to confront her, it wouldn't be easy to deal with her.

On the other hand, Yun Mengyao had only advanced a few decades ago. Even though she was known as a genius, she definitely couldn't compare to Lian Hongshuang. With her presence, Xu Mu had a greater chance of silently infiltrating.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and the auras of Lian Hongshuang and some of the Gold Core cultivators suddenly started disappearing one by one.

Xu Mu was suddenly shocked, realizing that the spatial cracks of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm had already opened.

To avoid running into Lian Hongshuang by chance, Xu Mu waited silently for a day before making his body ethereal and silently approaching the island.

He wandered around the vicinity of the island and found a gap in the formation. He threw a formation stone, breaking open a crack, and quickly slipped in.

Formation stones were special tools used in formations. They were engraved with formations on small stones and could be activated for a short period of time after being infused with energy. They could integrate into other large formations, allowing outsiders to use them as a breakthrough point without disturbing the person controlling the formation.

Xu Mu was able to use this method because of his high proficiency in formations, breaking through to the Rank Eight formation.

Using the same method, Xu Mu successively broke through several layers of outer formations and entered the island.

Compared to the last time he infiltrated, the island hadn't changed much. There were just many more defensive formations and they were arranged extremely covertly.

"They are afraid of me infiltrating again! Unfortunately, these methods are not very effective against me!"

Not only was he highly skilled at hiding, but he was also a master of formations. Even a mid-Nascent Soul expert would have a hard time avoiding his methods. However, for Xu Mu, they were like nothing.

The disciples of the Butian Pavilion on the island were coming and going, most of them showing a vigilant expression on their faces as they constantly scanned with their divine senses. However, they completely ignored Xu Mu as he passed by.

In this way, Xu Mu smoothly made his way without any obstacles and quickly arrived at the center of the island, heading underground.

There were even more hidden formations underground, so Xu Mu had to be extremely cautious. Not long after, he saw the sealed stone chamber used to hide the spatial cracks in his line of sight.

When he carefully maneuvered through the walls of the stone chamber and entered it, the first sight that greeted him made his heart skip a beat.

A stunning woman in blue clothes was sitting quietly in the small stone chamber.

"This woman is indeed guarding here!"

I recently returned to my hometown and didn't have time to write. I can't afford to pay you all, esteemed readers! I'll resume in a couple of days!
