Chapter 521: Chapter 477 Arrangement_1

While they hadn’t reached the Divinity Transformation Stage, their strength had barely made it there; otherwise, Xu Mu wouldn’t even have spared them a glance.

The reason for this was rather simple, they must have used some special method to temporarily enhance their strength. Given the foundations of the Cluster Stars Sect, this wasn’t difficult to achieve.

Moreover, the two ambushing cultivators exuded a potent life force, making it easy to guess this.

It’s easy to suspect the Cluster Stars Sect as well, because no one else in this vast sea could pull this off.

The two of them must have already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul, otherwise, no matter how clever their method, it would have been impossible to attain this level of strength in such a short time.

Probably, they were nearing the end of their lifespan, which is why they were used as cannon fodder.

The objective was straightforward: to deplete the talismans on Xu Mu.

If Xu Mu guessed correctly, there might be a real Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator hiding nearby.

As long as Xu Mu exhausted the talismans given by his avatar, the enemy would surely strike at the first opportunity to completely take him down.

“I wonder what his expression would be if he saw the current situation?”

Xu Mu sneered in his heart.

The investment from the enemy this time is certainly not small. Now that the plan to steal a chicken ended up losing rice, they should be hesitant to make any moves for a while.

Reaching the late stage of Nascent Soul isn’t easy, let alone trying to exhaust him by sacrificing everything.

Even if the Cluster Stars Sect had deep resources, it would be impossible to cultivate two more cultivators like these in a short period.

And even if they manage to cultivate them, what’s the point? No matter if it’s two or dozens, none could cope with Xu Mu now.

The Cluster Stars Sect was now indeed helpless against him.

Since receiving the news from Lu Jingkong, he had her suspicions and anticipated that they might be preparing to make a move.

That’s why he went into details about his itinerary, intentionally luring them out.

He was about to leave this place to head inland and naturally wanted to eliminate all hidden threats.

Even if he can’t completely clear them, he needed to buy enough time to prevent anything from happening here after his departure.

He didn’t how much time his leave would take, so he wanted to pave the road as much as possible.

The upcoming journey went as smoothly as he anticipated and he finally arrived at the Four Seas Immortal Palace.

After reuniting and conversing with his family, he explained his upcoming plans to Mo Wuxin in detail.

“If you face something you can’t handle, seek help from Friend Lu!”

“I understand! You must be careful on your journey!” Mo Wuxin said.

Given Lu Jingkong’s current strength, unless it’s a Divinity Transformation Stage opponent, there’s no problem she can’t solve.

After spending some time with his family, he announced that he was going to enter a closed-door cultivation, but secretly, he quietly left the Cang Ming Ocean Territory.

Upon his return to the Outer Sea, Xu Mu took out the talismans inside his body and handed them to Lu Jingkong.

“What will you do now that you’ve given me this?”

Looking at the talisman emitting a strong aura, Lu Jingkong felt both delighted and worried.

She knew that the reason Xu Mu could keep the Cluster Stars Sect at bay, preventing them from making a move against them, was due to this talisman.

Now, handing it over to her, if he encountered a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator again, wouldn’t his situation be perilous?

“I am about to leave shortly and it’s expected that it will be a long time before I can return. This talisman isn’t of much use to me anymore. I will feel more relieved leaving it with you,” Xu Mu said, smiling.

Logically, Mo Wuxin was closer to Xu Mu and this precious lifesaving talisman, with enormous power, should be handed over to her.

But considering the special significance of the talisman, Xu Mu felt it would be too risky to leave it with Mo Wuxin.

Moreover, Mo Wuxin’s cultivation level was still too weak. If she encountered a sudden attack from a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, she might not even have the chance to react.

In his view, even Lu Jingkong’s cultivation level was insufficient, she too would possibly have no time to react if attacked.

But she was certainly a better option than Mo Wuxin.

He now had to leave not knowing when he could return.

Though the talisman was powerful, for the sake of peace here, it was better left behind.
