Chapter 529: Chapter 485: A Hundred Years Later_1
Central Region
Nascent Soul Sect · Fairy Moon Palace
Under the solitary tier ten laurel tree, a youth dressed in white stood. His strands of ink-like hair fell upon his shoulders, his eyes slightly closed, and his features were perfect and flawless, as if bestowed by the heavens.
The nearby areas were filled with spiritual roots of tier nine, eight, and seven, enhancing the spiritual energy here to its peak.
Swoosh, swoosh!
The leaves swayed with the wind, and the spiritual energy transformed into mist, fluttering around, making this place appear to be a celestial realm.
Hum!
After some time had passed, a mysterious fluctuation spread out, attracting the surrounding spiritual power. Like a surging torrent, the spiritual power converged quickly towards the youth, eventually turning into a vortex that wrapped around him.
The speed the youth absorbed the spiritual energy was extremely fast. The thick and substantial spiritual energy could barely keep up with his consumption.
At this moment, the leaves gently swayed and glimmers of light fluttered down, blending into the spiritual energy vortex, maintaining its fullness.
Roar!
A massive beastly shadow sprang out from the vortex, resembling a whale with wings. It opened its mouth to swallow, consuming all the surrounding spiritual power at once.
Due to the massive consumption of spiritual energy, the leaves of the laurel tree fell off one after another, leaving only the bare branches.
The beastly shadow made another leap, transforming into a clear mist that entered the youth’s body. Only then did the youth slowly open his eyes, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
“Finally, a breakthrough!”
…
“It took only a century to advance from a seventh tier Nascent Soul to a ninth. If outsiders found out, they’d be shocked!”
Sensing that his cultivation had finally reached its limit, Xu Mu couldn’t help but reveal a hint of excitement as he slowly stood up from the ground.
Of course, if outsiders knew how many top-tier spiritual medicines he had consumed to reach this realm, they’d be even more surprised.
“Once my Luck Value is sufficient, I will further advance my alchemy skills to the Transcendent level. Then, I can start trying to concoct the pill to achieve the Divinity Transformation and find a place to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage!”
With these thoughts in his mind, Xu Mu proceeded to walk outside.
As soon as he left the valley, disciples came forward to pay their respects.
“Welcome back from your retreat, Supreme Elder!”
“Welcome back from your retreat, Supreme Elder!”
Xu Mu waved his hand, stopping the flattery from the crowd.
Back when he first arrived in the Central Region from the Southern Domain and joined the Fairy Moon Palace as an alchemist, he had taken two disciples for a while to evade the pursuit of Tianyang Palace. Later, when he was selling pills, he accidentally ended up in the Eastern Region, where Da Yuan resided via a random transmission array.
During the rise of the Demon Gate a few years ago, Fairy Moon Palace was very unfortunate to be caught in the crossfire and nearly faced extinction.
After Xu Mu joined the alliance, he stumbled upon his two disciples and learned about the situation of Fairy Moon Palace through them.
When he met with the new Palace Master of Fairy Moon Palace, they insisted on him rejoining. Feeling a bit of old sentiment, Xu Mu agreed.
However, the new Palace Master immediately offered him the position as the Palace Master.
Xu Mu didn’t want to accept the declining Fairy Moon Palace or carry the stigma of usurping another’s nest. But having the new Palace Master’s pleas and some old sentiment, he finally agreed to the position as the Supreme Elder.
Of course, that was also because he needed some manpower to help him with some tasks. Conveniently, the Fairy Moon Palace was more than generous.
