Chapter 504: Chapter 471: Doesn’t it resemble_1
The Nascent Soul Stage is undoubtedly the top level in the Cultivation World; the birth of each new Nascent Soul will bring significant influence to the Cultivation World and may even trigger a reshuffling amongst numerous medium and small forces.
Because of the formidable influence of the Nascent Soul Stage, any cultivator who may breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage will attract a lot of attention.
Some medium and small entities, in order to advance further, choose to pledge allegiance or curry favor in advance.
As Mo Wuxin has been the most likely to break into the Nascent Soul stage in recent years, many predict that she would make the breakthrough within a hundred years.
But seeing her making the move to break through, everyone was slightly incredulous.
Because, based on the timeline, it has only been over fifty years since she broke through to the late Golden Core Stage, and only a few years since the Golden Pill’s Perfection. Under such circumstances, according to everyone’s understanding, she should at least need to remain idle for twenty or thirty years before attempting to break through.
After all, Mo Wuxin is not old. It would be a reasonable choice to remain inactive for two or three decades to increase the chances of a successful breakthrough.
Moreover, the resources required for a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage are not easy to obtain; surely, it must require significant efforts.
Therefore, it was already considered generous for everyone to predict her breakthrough within a hundred years.
But now, after merely over 50 years, which is only halfway to a hundred years…
It was as if she was striking while the iron was hot, choosing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage the moment she reached Golden Pill’s Perfection.
What was the rush?
Or were there any problems?
Anyway, this breakthrough caught everyone off guard.
Some thought she was being too hasty and did not hold much hope; others thought she might create a miracle.
No matter what, all eyes were drawn to her.
Meanwhile, some ulterior motives hidden in the dark also began to frantically send out messages.
Some even showed a sense of being unsurprised, having expected this.
Soon after, more than a dozen Flying Boats carrying thousands of cultivators surrounded the island where the Palace of Pure Heart is located.
Three cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage personally entered the fray, leading hundreds at the Golden Core stage to attack the Mountain Protection Array.
Such an event, unheard of for thousands of years, left the onlookers completely dumbfounded.
…
Cang Ming Ocean Territory
Butian Pavilion
A figure clad entirely in a black robe with a hood appeared out of nowhere at the entrance of the secluded room, before taking large strides towards the door.
“This is the Palace Master’s seclusion grounds, keep your distance without an order, clear off!”
The two Golden Core Stage cultivators, responsible for guarding, yelled as the cloaked figure approached.
But the cloaked figure did not stop, instead slowly lifting up his head. Just as the two guards were about to intercept him, two beams of light burst out from the unfathomable depths of his eyes.
“…”
The two Golden Core Stage guards froze in their spot, motionless, their faces filled with a look of horror.
Without stopping his stride, the cloaked figure passed by the guards, extending his hand to push open the door in front of him.
The dazzling lights of the Formation engraved on the door tried to resist, but under the irresistible power, they were forcefully torn apart.
With a tooth-grating sound, the door was violently pushed open from the outside.
“Little girl, you’ve got some nerve… Huh! Didn’t I tell you no to disturb me!”
Mu Yuchan turned around indifferently, but her gaze was filled with unmeltable iciness. She detested being disturbed while working the most.
Before she could get angry, a hair-raising, lethal force was already cutting towards her.
Mu Yuchan’s heart throbbed wildly, the horrifying feeling of a life-threatening danger, something she hadn’t experienced in many years. But it was one thing that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Almost instinctively, she pulled out a defensive artifact.
It was a red silk ribbon, woven with blood silkworm silk, which could be used to neutralize enemy attacks or to bind them.
Crack!
The ever-effective means, now under that lethal force, was severed like a torn rag.
How is that possible?!?!
Mu Yuchan was tormented with fright. That was her Lifebound artifact, how could it be so weak?
Unfortunately, no one was there to explain it to her, and she didn’t have the time to analyze it. Her only thought was to dodge.
Splurt!
Whether she managed to dodge completely or not, under that lethal force, her body was sliced in half, only with a slight amount of skin and flesh left connecting them together.
There was no time to be shocked or feel the pain in her body.
Mu Yuchan decisively gave up her physical body, allowing her Nascent Soul to use instant teleportation.
Splat!
The physical body she had just escaped from was unsurprisingly cleaved into two halves, and her opponent was relentless, continuing to chase her Nascent Soul.
Bastard, where did this monster come from?
But trying to catch up with a Nascent Soul, is he out of his mind?
A Nascent Soul can teleport instantly; few escaping skills in the world can keep up.
Just as this thought arose in her mind, an invisible force enveloped her, freezing her Nascent Soul in place.
Mind Stabilizing Skill!
Damn it, how far had this person cultivated this skill that he could even freeze a Nascent Soul.
Mu Yuchan was filled with shock and fear.
She hadn’t even fully seen her opponent’s face before her physical body was destroyed, now she was hanging by a thread between life and death.
The next wave of slicing power acted on her Nascent Soul.
Just when she felt that she could parry it slightly with her spiritual body, then escape badly injured, a tearing pain transmitted from her consciousness. The next moment, she plunged completely into darkness.
“It took me three moves to defeat you; you died a worthy death!” The man robed in black said coldly.
After gathering the corpse, he quickly examined the trapped girl.
The girl didn’t show any injuries; her clothes were neat, but her face was pale, her spirit seemed a bit sluggish.
“It looks like they used some type of mental secret skill to coerce her!”
The eyes of the man in black narrowed, filled with murderous intent.
To interrogate someone using a mental skill was more painful than physical torture.
After breaking the seal on the girl’s body and feeding her a Pill, the girl slowly regained consciousness.
“Father! I thought I would never see you again!”
A faint smile appeared on the girl’s cold face.
“Rest well! I will avenge you!” The man in black said gently.
“Can you tell me… who my mother really is?”
The girl seized this opportunity to ask.
“…”
The man in black fell silent.
“Once you’ve recovered, I’ll tell you everything.”
“Yes!”
This time, the girl didn’t resist and was taken into a large cauldron by the man in black.
Just as the man in black was about to leave, the Formation on the surrounding walls suddenly lit up brightly, and several Nascent Soul Stages’ Divine Intents surrounded him.
“How audacious, daring to commit murder and prison break in my Butian Pavilion!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Qiu Jixing, with his white hair, had no feelings in his eyes, only a bone-chilling coldness. Starlight surged around him, transforming the entire closed room into a vast ocean of stars.
“It’s you!!”
Yun Mengyao, standing next to Qiu Jixing, recognized at a glance this Nascent Soul Stage who once broke into Xuan Yang Secret Realm under her watch.
The bronze halberd in his hand was no longer a secret among the three powers.
“Elder Sister, it’s him!”
Red Frost also recognized him instantly. Although she hadn’t seen his true face then, his aura and weapon were unmistakably familiar.
“Who are you, really?” Qiu Jixing asked calmly.
“You snatched my daughter and wanted to use her as material for your advancement, and now you are asking me who I am! I see your audacity is greater!” The man in black retorted coldly.
“Are you Xu Mu?” Red Frost asked tentatively.
Inferring his identity from other aspects was difficult, but from the perspective of being the girl’s father, it was very easy because it was something easily verifiable.
“Well? Do I not look like it?” Xu Mu replied indifferently.
“…”
