Chapter 411: 380 Xuan Yang is Born_1
The reason for this is the low threshold for membership; anyone who is not a part of the Sea Race and is willing to pay with Spirit Stones can join.
This has led to a situation in the Four Seas Immortal Palace where there is much education but little learning, where the overall quality is poor, where internal strife is intense, but where the sheer number of disciples is indeed high.
The number of cultivators entering the Xuan Yang Secret Realm this time is no less than a thousand, although, unfortunately, the majority of them are at the Foundation Establishment stage.
“The Four Seas Immortal Palace probably did this in the past too, but I never heard of any Foundation Establishment cultivators entering the Xuan Yang Secret Realm. I suspect most of them would have died there,” Xu Mu thought.
Xu Mu recalled the task platform of the Four Seas Immortal Palace, which seemed to include some tasks related to exploring secret realms.
“These people might have all been recruited!”
Xu Mu noticed the fake pill cultivators trained by the Four Seas Immortal Palace, watching this crowd like shepherds guarding a flock, the relationship between them obviously strained.
In a secret realm filled with tier seven Monster Beasts, these people have no chance of survival. Even if one were to manage to escape, their fate would still be sealed.
Of course, there’s no chance of escape with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators watching them.
Similar to the other two forces, the Four Seas Immortal Palace only sent in one early Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. He was hidden in a Flying Artifact, and in order to prevent his aura from being leaked, Xu Mu did not dare to investigate, so he didn’t know who it was from the Four Seas Immortal Palace.
While Xu Mu was hiding, waiting for the Four Seas Immortal Palace’s troops to leave, the golden sun in the sky suddenly contracted violently, and the light in the entire space dimmed instantly as all heads instinctively looked up.
People had yet to figure out what was happening when the golden sun suddenly inflated violently, radiating an endless golden light.
Xu Mu’s heart skipped a beat as he recalled the golden light he had seen in the memory of the Monster Beast.
Isn’t that supposed to occur only before the secret realm is opened?
Confusion! Astonishment!
Just witnessing the golden light from someone else’s memory was enough to harm him, let alone directly facing it now. All those who entered the secret realm to explore it were doomed to failure.
Unfortunately, the golden light was too fast, leaving him no time to react.
In an instant, the entire secret realm was enveloped in endless golden light!
Hiss!
Contrary to his expectation of having his divine soul torn apart by the golden light, Xu Mu only felt as though several needles had pricked him, and he quickly regained his senses.
Could it be that the golden light is only this powerful, both in memory and in reality?
Xu Mu was momentarily taken aback.
At this moment, there was a commotion among the Four Seas Immortal Palace’s troops.
“Ahh! My head hurts so much!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
“Who am I! Where am I!”
Xu Mu looked over to see that out of a troop of a thousand people, only a few remained.
What was merely a prickling spiritual attack to Xu Mu was enough to kill these Foundation Establishment and fake pill cultivators.
“I suspect the other two teams won’t fare much better,” Xu Mu thought to himself.
“Wait! What’s that?”
As he observed these unlucky cultivators, Xu Mu inadvertently noticed that the sky was filled with droplets of a divine, platinum-colored liquid.
A thought suddenly exploded in his mind.
“Could that be Xuan Yang Holy Water?”
Although he had never seen Xuan Yang Holy Water before, he knew its appearance by heart – a platinum liquid with a divine aura, containing an unbelievable life force, capable of transforming one’s entity.
If judging by appearances, the platinum liquid in front of him matched the description perfectly.
Someone reacted even faster than Xu Mu, taking the remaining few Golden Pill Disciples and immediately rushing towards the liquid in the sky.
At this point, there was no longer a concern about the consumption of Spiritual Power; various skills were fully implemented in order to locate the spatial rift as quickly as possible.
Witnessing all this, Xu Mu was almost certain that the platinum-colored liquid was the Xuan Yang Holy Water he had been longing for.
Given that, it was impossible for him to give up!
Xu Mu held the Sky-splitting Halberd, transformed into Escape Light, and flew towards the sky.
Banking on the Sky-splitting Halberd’s ability to eliminate rifts, Xu Mu quickly caught up with the others.
“It’s you!”
The Nascent Soul of the Four Seas Immortal Palace was an old man, white-haired and white-bearded, full of aged aura.
Seeing Xu Mu catching up, he was shocked. On the other hand, he quickly realized that Xu Mu was the one who could eliminate the spatial rifts, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to fly up so recklessly, knowing that the spatial rifts in the sky are even more numerous than those on the ground.
“Is it that huge halberd?”
The old man was able to guess the function of the Sky-splitting Halberd from Xu Mu’s actions.
The old man knew his limits. Even though he wanted to attack Xu Mu and take the Sky-splitting Halberd, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to hold him back, even if he was able to beat Xu Mu, while Xu Mu held the Sky-splitting Halberd.
However, it was enough for him to know who it was. He could wait until he returned to his sect and then join forces with others to cause a fallout.
Butian Pavilion had the same idea!
Only the Cluster Stars Sect, relying on their three Nascent Souls and the treasure bestowed by the sect, harbored some wild ambitions and wanted to capture Xu Mu.
As Xu Mu was getting closer to the Xuan Yang Holy Water in the sky, he quickly came into the view of Butian Pavilion and Cluster Stars Sect.
The three major powers were not too far apart, so it was normal for them to meet in the sky.
Seeing Xu Mu’s fast flying speed, Butian Pavilion and Cluster Stars Sect also became aware that the method to eliminate the spatial rifts should be with Xu Mu.
“Use the sect’s treasure! Otherwise, we simply cannot catch up with him!”
Upon discovering Xu Mu, the Cluster Stars Sect immediately started to pursue him full-force. Xu Mu, who possessed the Sky-splitting Halberd, seemed like he had cheat enabled—the distance between them not only didn’t shorten, it became even wider.
“But what about the Xuan Yang Holy Water if we use it?”
The young man with star pupils spoke unwillingly.
The appearance of Xuan Yang Holy Water was rare, and if they missed this opportunity, they didn’t know when the next one would occur.
He had originally planned to rely on the Xuan Yang Holy Water to solidify his foundation, creating a future towards the Divinity Transformation stage, and now, suddenly giving up, how could he bear it?
“Once we catch him and seize his magic artifact, we won’t have to worry about not having the Xuan Yang Holy Water! Hurry up and do it, or we’ll really be too late!”
The old man with the hawk-like nose urged.
“Alright!”
Hearing the old man’s words, the young man with star pupils no longer hesitated, extracting a golden ancient bell artifact from his bosom.
“Eat the pill first! Let’s try to fight quickly and finish quickly to avoid accidents!” said the white-browed middle-aged man.
The two of them had no objections, nodded, and each took out a red pill to swallow.
This was the secret medicine of Cluster Stars Sect, sufficient enough to increase their strength by 10 to 20 percent in a short period of time. The only drawback was that it would damage some of their vitality. But for the wealthy and ostentatious Cluster Stars Sect, it wasn’t a big problem as they could quickly recover once they got back. This was why they didn’t hesitate to use the pill.
Don’t underestimate this ten to twenty percent improvement. In a battle at the same level, it was enough to determine life and death, let alone when three people increased their strength simultaneously.
After taking the pill, the aura of the three of them surged dramatically, and then they simultaneously injected Spiritual Power into the golden bell.
The next moment, the palm-sized golden bell swiftly inflated, enveloping the three of them. Then, the three of them and the golden bell disappeared in place. When they reappeared, they were only a few miles away from Xu Mu.
“What kind of magic artifact is this?”
