Chapter 416: Chapter 385 Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage_1

Clang!

A crisp collision sound rang out!

A tiny gap appeared at the point of contact between the Sky-splitting Halberd and the chain, but it quickly healed in less than the duration of a breath.

Boom!

The golden light around them surged violently as if affected.

At the same time, Xu Mu, who had made the strike, collapsed to the ground with convulsions all over his body, like a common person touched a high-voltage line. It took a while for him to recover due to the function of his Vajra Body.

He hastily checked the chain, finding it still whole and undamaged.

He was nearly shocked to pass out just now and didn’t notice the temporary appearance of the gap on the chain.

Then, Xu Mu tried several more times but with the same result. Finally, he shouted into the void, “Seniors! I have tried my best! But I am truly powerless!”

Although slashing the chain can increase his power, Xu Mu would rather gain freedom as soon as possible. By his calculations, the Xuan Yang Secret Realm was closing soon, and it would be too late if he didn’t leave.

He was convinced that the bird-headed person was watching him closely, so he didn’t worry about not being heard.

“Continue.”

In the endless light came a faint two-word reply.

Xu Mu’s mouth twitched. Though he was reluctant, he didn’t dare to retort.

The next moment, the boundless golden light suddenly jumped across the barricade, enveloping his entire body.

Xu Mu was startled. He thought his reluctance was noticed, so the other was trying to punish him with the golden light. However, before he could beg for mercy, a pure and incredibly powerful energy surged into his body.

This energy was extremely high-level and perfectly merged with the Spiritual Power in Xu Mu’s body. Following this, Xu Mu’s cultivation began to skyrocket rapidly.

Nascent Soul Stage – Second level!

Nascent Soul Stage – Third level!

Nascent Soul Stage – Fourth level!

Nascent Soul Stage – Fifth level!

Nascent Soul Stage – Sixth level!

Just when Xu Mu was nearly ecstatic with the rapid progress, the energy was suddenly withdrawn. In that instant, Xu Mu felt as if he was plunged from heaven into hell, feeling empty and hollow.

Why?

Why didn’t you promote me to the Divinity Transformation Stage all at once?

I’m fine! I can handle it! Continue!

Xu Mu shouted inwardly.

He believed that the mysterious birdman could hear him.

“Once you help me break the chain, I can help you forcefully upgrade your cultivation to the Divinity Transformation Stage.”

The birdman’s voice came from the golden light.

“Rest assured, Senior, I will risk my life to help you break this damned chain!”

At this moment, Xu Mu was totally motivated.

Don’t blame him for being practical. Man risks his life for money, and a bird is willing to die for food. Although the offer might be a pie in the sky, the promised benefits were too great. That small amount of time just now was equivalent to a thousand years of normal cultivation during the Nascent Soul Stage.

As for what might happen after the chain is broken, such as the chain being a seal and the other party being a devastating monster that might unleash endless slaughter.

So what if it is? He couldn’t bother to care about that!

Besides, does he have any other choices now?

As for why the other party upgraded his cultivation, it probably wasn’t to get his gratitude. It should simply be because his cultivation was too low and couldn’t break the chain. So the other party upgraded his cultivation while painting a bigger pie for him.

That being said, being able to upgrade to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage is probably the limit. Otherwise, with the other party’s terrifying strength, there would be no need to begrudge this amount of energy.

Xu Mu didn’t dwell on these signs. In order to avoid being detected by the other, he began to chop the chain like Wu Gang in the myth.

He, whose cultivation had been greatly increased, could finally barely withstand the counter-shock from the chain. Finally, he saw the gap on the chain.

So I can create a gap!

Xu Mu finally understood why the other party was willing to help him upgrade his cultivation.

However, he didn’t expect that the chain could even repair itself. It repaired instantaneously after being chopped. It seemed no different than before. When was he supposed to chop till?

However, now that the other party had given him such a huge benefit, he felt obligated to put in more effort to achieve some results.

Although it seemed pointless, Xu Mu could only continue his persistent chopping.

The only good news was that his Vajra Body could continue to level up.

The mysterious birdman only upgraded his cultivation but did not enhance his physical body.

Moreover, Xu Mu felt as though his cultivation was being tempered with each impact, becoming more and more steady.

After all, the cultivation was forced up in a hurry, even though the other party’s power was incredibly immense, Xu Mu himself was inevitably somewhat unstable. Now, he was being tempered.

If he continued like this, he wouldn’t need the other party to forcefully upgrade him anymore. He would be able to naturally progress to the late Nascent Soul Stage.

The late Nascent Soul Stage, that was something top-notch in the Mortal Realm.

Without a Divinity Transformation, who could compete!

The realm that he hadn’t known when he could reach now seemed to be within reach. The change in life’s fortunes was really incredible.

If only he could also teach me some top-level Divine Skill…

Xu Mu couldn’t help but think to himself.

Time quickly passed. For a month, Xu Mu practically never stopped chopping.

But the iron chain in front of him didn’t seem to have changed at all.

The birdman hiding in the golden light hadn’t spoken a word, seemingly unhurried.

Xu Mu guessed that the Secret Realm had completely closed. Even if the other party let him go, he would not be able to leave.

Thankfully, he’d left a life mark outside, otherwise, Mo Wuxin and the others might have thought he’d died inside.

However, even with the life mark, which could prove that he wasn’t dead, according to the precedent, failure to leave in time meant inevitable death before the next opening

In other words, he was practically as good as dead, it was just a matter of time.

I hope they won’t grieve too much!

Xu Mu lamented in his heart.

Since he couldn’t leave in the short term, he might as well focus on chopping the chain.

Time slipped away unconsciously, and he didn’t know how long had passed.

To alleviate his tedious life, Xu Mu divided a strand of his consciousness and started healing the two people inside the tripod with the Xuan Yang Holy Water given by the mysterious birdman.

First was his eldest sister-in-law, Feng Que!

Feng Que’s situation was relatively simple. Because she practiced the deceptive pill method, the potential of her body was severely drained, damaging her Benyuan roots. It would be enough just to supplement it with Xuan Yang Holy Water.

However, Xu Mu didn’t plan on merely supplementing her. Instead, he planned to break the false pill, enable her to return to the furnace for remodeling, and rebuild the base.

Otherwise, even if her base was replenished, she would only live for a few hundred years more, and her future would still be full of obstacles.

This would require him to wake her up, teach her new methods and need her cooperation.

With a man and a woman alone, with such sensitive identities, he wouldn’t cause another seal, right?

Xu Mu apprehensively unlocked the seal on Feng Que’s body and woke her up.
