Seeing Xu Mu daringly kill a young man at the Nascent Soul Stage, the surrounding cultivators at the Golden Core Stage almost turned witless with fear.

How could there be such a monstrous person in the world?

Their only thought now was to run! The farther they fled, the better!

“We must let the Princess know about this!”

A Golden Core killing a Nascent Soul, this would certainly shake the entire Da Yuan Dynasty to its core, making its way into the history books and becoming a legend.

“Can you guys even run from me?”

Given their abilities, how could they possibly escape from Xu Mu? The white fox puppet casually shot out a few rays of light, effortlessly killing them and utterly crushing their hopes of fleeing.

“Damn it! Why did they shatter!”

Only when Xu Mu was about to search the bodies did he discover that not only had their bodies turned to crystals, but even their storage bags had crystallized and shattered upon touch.

Xu Mu was so frustrated that he almost spit out blood. This was a substantial loss.

“Wait, that Nascent Soul wouldn’t have also—”

Xu Mu hurriedly flew to the location of the young man’s corpse to inspect, only to find what was called the Green Bamboo magical treasure.

“What rotten luck!”

Looking at the similarly shattered storage bag, Xu Mu was on the verge of despair. He had lost a valuable Nascent Soul talisman, and all he got in return was this magical treasure of unknown use.

“If only I hadn’t used the talisman as a probe. After all these years, this is the first time I’ve made a loss!”

Xu Mu looked at the white fox puppet, with a complex mix of love and hate.

He stored the Green Bamboo magical treasure and then cleared the traces after destroying the corpses. Xu Mu continued on his journey.

This time he was much more cautious, immediately using the Virtualization Skill to move faster.

That person in the imperial capital had long since failed to receive any updates from his subordinates, and soon realized that something had gone wrong.

“Could it be that a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage has made a move?”

Anyway, she didn’t believe that Xu Mu could have made a counter-kill. In her mind, without intervention from a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even if they couldn’t subdue Xu Mu, they should have been able to return safely.

“Your Highness, what do we do now? Should we still try to hire someone to make a move?”

“Do you think Nascent Soul cultivators are as common as cabbages? Hire as many as you like! When we don’t know the strength of the opponent, acting rashly will only lead to greater losses. Let’s send someone to probe first, see what kind of strength the person behind him truly has, then it won’t be too late to take action! Let this scoundrel live a few more years! Humph!”

“I’ll arrange it immediately!”

…

More than three months passed.

After five years, Xu Mu again returns to Chi Zhou Prefecture.

“Husband!”

Seeing the returning Xu Mu, Zhao Yan, who had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, was extraordinarily excited.

Being apart for a short while makes the heart grow fonder, let alone after several years.

However, Xu Mu didn’t stay for too long. His relationship with Zhao Yan was merely one of transaction, they were not truly family to him.

So he only stayed for one, two, three…about a hundred times or so.

After leaving behind some resources for cultivation, Xu Mu left Chi Zhou Prefecture and returned to the small space where he had originally crossed over.

“I’m back!”

With a sweep of his divine intent, everyone felt his presence.

Ye Yingying, as always, was the first to rush towards him, throwing herself into his arms. Followed by Leng Ningyue, Si Tan’er, Lan Shijin, and Chi Feiyan.

Despite not having seen each other for many years, thanks to their cultivation levels, they had not changed much, except that their demeanor had become much more composed.

Even though he had an avatar present all this time, Ye Yingying still had endless things to share with him. The rest of the women just stood by, laughing and watching.

As for his sons and daughters, they naturally kept their distance.

After a few days of interacting with his wives and truly satisfying them, Xu Mu called his sons and daughters to his side.

Having not seen them for so many years, they had all grown to become adults. Their cultivation had all reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, amongst them, the third child, Xu Sheng, was at the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage; the fourth child, Xu Xia, was also at the ninth; the fifth, Xu Tianxin, was at the sixth; the sixth, Xu Tianguan, was at the seventh; the seventh, Xu Tianying, was at the seventh; the eighth, Xu Tiangu, was at the sixth.

This was only due to a shortage of resources; otherwise, they could have achieved even higher stages. After all, except for Xu Sheng and Xu Xia, all the others were conceived when their parents were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, hence having inherently superior attributes.

What Xu Mu had not expected was that Xu Sheng had already married and had more than one child.

In other words, Xu Mu was already a grandfather!

Looking at some timid little fellows hiding behind Xu Sheng, Xu Mu felt as if he were in a dream.

After setting up layers of formations in the small space and enjoying several days of familial bliss, Xu Mu began helping his wives and children to break through to the Golden Core Stage.

Ye Yingying and the rest of the women had been stuck at the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage for a long time. If not for Xu Mu asking them to wait for him, the women would have tried to breakthrough long ago.

With the sturdy foundations they had built and the vast amount of pills and treasures Xu Mu provided as assistance, the breakthroughs of these women had been safe and without any surprises. Since the breakthroughs took place in the small space, they did not attract any attention from the outside world.

The only cause for Xu Mu’s concern was the varying quality of their Golden Cores.

These women, being nurtured in a controlled environment, could not compare with actual, naturally gifted prodigies.

After their breakthroughs, all the women cheerfully closed themselves off for seclusion cultivation in order to consolidate their cultivation base, leaving Xu Mu with a little more worry.

He could still provide help during the Golden Core Stage by forcefully pushing their breakthroughs with pills and treasures, but what about when they reached the Nascent Soul Stage?

Perhaps considering this, Xu Mu, after helping some children who were close to their breakthroughs, listed various house rules based on his knowledge from previous lives in order to temper his future generations.

At the same time, he set up a simplified version of the Heart Cultivation Formation, urging everyone to cultivate whenever they had time.

After staying at home for three years, taking care of everything that he could arrange, leaving behind almost all resources, and ensuring that all the women were well-equipped for the future, Xu Mu, bringing along four of his avatars, set off for the Extreme North.

He didn’t know if he would be able to return alive from this journey, so he had made preparations for the worst-case scenario.

As for the four avatars, one was originally left with the women, one came back from the Tianhe Sect, and the other two were newly created by Xu Mu.

The reason for bringing along the four avatars was twofold: on one hand, when he was to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, he would need to recall all his avatars to assist in the breakthrough; on the other hand, it had to do with the plans to form the Ancestral Nascent Soul.

According to the Black YuanYing, in order to form an Ancestral Nascent Soul, one must comprehend the essence of the Five Elements.

And the so-called essence of the Five Elements is indeed to practice all Five Element-based martial methods to the Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, forming Golden Cores possessing the attributes of the Five Elements.

With regards to forming Five Element Golden Cores, different sects have a variety of methods. Xu Mu, considering the method provided by the Black YuanYing and analyzing his own situation, came up with the idea of nurturing four avatars and then combining the Five Elements as one.

This method assuredly could be used only by him in all the world.

Because even if a Golden Core Stage cultivator managed to create an avatar, they could hardly cultivate it to the late stage of the Golden Core due to the limitations of their spiritual souls. Only he can forcibly enhance the stage with the help of the system.

The idea of combining five Golden Cores into one seemed like a fantasy, but because these were avatars, their minds were connected and their source was the same, making it actually more relaxed and convenient than directly forming the Five Element Golden Cores. It could potentially be even more powerful.

Given his current circumstances, Xu Mu only had this viable method.

Of course, all these plans were predicated on finding the Pool of Creation. Otherwise, Xu Mu would decisively give up on forming the Ancestral Nascent Soul.

“I thought you would drag it out for decades, but I didn’t expect you to leave so soon!” The Black YuanYing said with a hint of excitement.

“The sooner I leave, the more hope I have. You had better not be lying to me. You should know what the consequences will be!”
