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

Xu Mu went to great lengths to determine the location of the spatial rift, just to see if he could harness the power of the spatial rift to cultivate the Myriad Tribulations True Body.

The characteristic of the Myriad Tribulations True Body is that it breaks before it stands, and the more severe the damage to the body, the stronger it becomes after recovery.

Now his body is comparable to a Rank Eleven defensive Law Treasure, and ordinary means can no longer break his defense. In order to further enhance his physical strength, he must find large-scale earth fire veins or certain forbidden places.

If the spatial rift is useful, he will have another option for cultivation.

When Xu Mu's hand touched it, a silent slit appeared on his hand, as if a hot knife cutting through butter.

Only when it touched the bones did he feel a slight resistance, but it was only slight.

Facing the power of the spatial rift, even his toughest bones were fragile.

The extreme sharpness of the spatial rift didn't even make him feel a hint of pain.

Xu Mu didn't continue to try. After the rift touched his hand bones, he quickly withdrew his hand.

If he really cut off his hand, he would have a headache.

As he brought his hand back to his eyes, a deep wound visible to the bone had appeared in the palm of his hand. The cut flesh was as smooth as a mirror, with intertwined muscles and fascia forming layered textures, like a cross-section of marble.

However, strangely, this huge wound did not have any blood flowing out of it, as if it were really a piece of stone.

In fact, at Xu Mu's level, it was already possible to control the flesh and blood of his whole body, so it was not difficult to prevent the wound from bleeding.

As his hand was injured, the Myriad Tribulations True Body also automatically activated. Mysterious energy continuously gathered towards the wound, and the flesh on both sides of the wound quickly wriggled, as if coming back to life. In just a few breaths, it returned to its original state without even forming a scab.

This terrifying recovery made people's scalp tingle, but Xu Mu was not too satisfied.

He could feel that apart from the obvious firmness at the wound site, there was no change in other parts of his palm.

"No good!"

Xu Mu shook his head helplessly.

Although the spatial rift could cut flesh and trigger the power of the Myriad Tribulations True Body, this kind of enhancement was too one-sided and couldn't benefit the whole body, resulting in low cultivation efficiency.

"It seems that places like earth fire veins are more suitable after all!" Xu Mu sighed.

The power of earth fire veins can simultaneously act on the whole body, causing a comprehensive transformation of the body, while the spatial rift can only have an effect on a very small part. If he wanted his whole body to transform, it would probably require countless cuts.

Since it wasn't very useful, Xu Mu didn't linger and continued to drive the Wind Dragon towards the direction where the Phoenix and Vermilion Bird were.

After he left for a few breaths, a large number of Demonic Beasts, who had lost their sanity, gathered together. Since they didn't find his trace, they fought each other and soon left behind a ground full of corpses.

...

In a certain place in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, a huge ship was flying towards the depths under the protection of numerous cultivators.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the front. Everyone looked over and saw that a cultivator who was leading the way had a huge wound silently cut open on his abdomen, exposing his internal organs.

Fortunately, the people on the ship rescued him in time, saving his life.

However, with such a serious injury, the cultivator inevitably suffered a great loss of vitality and temporarily lost his combat ability.

"The closer we get to the central area, the more unstable the spatial rifts become. Next time, send more people for rotation!" A young man with star-like eyes stood on the deck of the ship with his hands behind his back and gave orders.

"Yes, sir!"

The person in charge on the ship replied.

"Sixteen! Seventeen! Nineteen! You are responsible for exploring the southern route!"

A voice transmitted through the magic array, reaching the room in the lower level of the cabin.

Fengque, who was meditating and resting, heard her number being called and quickly stood up, rushing towards the outside of the cabin.

Accompanying her were a man and a woman, both false Dan cultivators like her.

Perhaps because they could die at any time, they didn't bother giving themselves names and simply went by their assigned numbers.

Fengque was number nineteen.

The three of them left the cabin and bowed to the young man on the deck before flying towards the south side of the ship.

"Finally, it's our turn!"

The two cultivators responsible for exploring the south breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Fengque and the others coming to take over.

After the handover was completed, Fengque and the others dispersed and used low-level spells to explore possible micro spatial fissures in the surroundings.

To save spiritual power, they only set up a layer of spiritual power shield on their bodies. After all, even the strongest defense couldn't stop a spatial fissure. This layer of spiritual power shield was just a psychological comfort.

As for demonic beast attacks, they didn't need to worry too much. There were detection arrays on the ship that could sense them in advance. If there were powerful ones, someone would take care of it. They only needed to deal with some weak stragglers.

"It's only been three days and there have been more than a dozen injured. I don't know how long we can hold on!"

Muwu, one of the three, sighed.

"The mortality rate in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm is already high. The highest survival rate in previous sessions was only forty percent, and most of those who survived were formal disciples. We cannon fodder have a slim chance of survival. Don't hold too much hope!" Su Tao, the other woman in the group, said indifferently.

Since they joined the Star Gate, they knew their fate. If they couldn't accept it, they wouldn't have made it this far and would have been eliminated long ago.

"Both of you should focus more. Otherwise, forget about leaving the Xuan Yang Secret Realm alive. It would be good enough if you can survive for three days!" Fengque reminded.

Muwu smiled and said, "Fengque, you're right!"

The three of them didn't communicate much and each explored the surrounding spatial fissures, leaving spiritual power marks if they found any.

They had already mastered this whole process before entering the secret realm.

However, some of the spatial fissures were too small. Even if they were very careful, they would occasionally get injured. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious.

But being so cautious consumed a lot of energy. They couldn't last for more than a day. After handing over with the replacement cultivators, they hurried back to the cabin to rest.

The same routine would continue for a long time. They had to conserve their energy and keep themselves in the best condition at all times in order to survive until the end.

Although everyone knew their fate, who didn't want to live a little longer?

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days had passed, and Fengque and the others began their fifth rotation.

Compared to the previous rotations, the three of them looked more serious this time because there had already been casualties among the two shifts before them. The most tragic one was said to have had their head cut open.

They were false Dan cultivators, not Nascent Soul cultivators. If their heads were cut open, they would either be reincarnated or live like lonely ghosts.

Although the three of them said they weren't afraid, they couldn't help but feel nervous when death was truly approaching. Their movements became more cautious, but with the higher-ups urging them from behind, they didn't dare to go too slowly.

Buzz!

Suddenly, they received a message on the communication jade slip. After reading the information with their divine sense, their expressions couldn't help but change slightly.

"It's really unlucky. We're the first ones to encounter it!" Muwu complained as he put away the jade slip.
