Chapter 420: Chapter 389 New World_1

“Elder Brother Mu, it’s time to eat!”

The girl pushed open the door and called out to Xu Mu, who was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, meditating.

“Oh!”

Xu Mu replied and opened his eyes, a trace of disappointment flashing through his deep gaze.

I can’t see the Nascent Soul again!

Today is the seventh day since Xu Mu arrived in this different world.

Why different world, you ask? Because it is highly dissimilar to the Cultivation World he used to inhabit.

Firstly, and most importantly, there is no Spiritual Energy here!

Yet, it’s distinct from the Land of Absolute Soul as mentioned in the Immortal World.

In the Land of Absolute Soul in the Immortal World, there is not only an absence of Spiritual Energy but also life, as the essence of everything lies in Spiritual Energy!

However, mysteriously enough, this world, other than its absence of Spiritual Energy, isn’t much different from the Cultivation World.

There are plants, natural treasures, mountains, rivers, countless creatures, insects, fish, birds, humans, beasts, and all kinds of life forms.

Apart from the trouble of missing Spiritual Energy, Xu Mu also encountered anomalies in his own body.

He has lost his sense of the Nascent Soul inside his body, and his painstakingly cultivated Spiritual Power seems to have evaporated into thin air.

If it weren’t for the power remaining in his physical body, he would doubt everything he has experienced before!

In the past few days, he shut himself away, constantly attempting various methods to no avail.

Sighing inwardly, Xu Mu was about to lift his torso using both his hands when he suddenly remembered, his right arm was no longer there, and neither was half of his right leg.

The reason for their disappearance was probably the result of being cut off by spatial forces whilst traversing space-time turbulence.

The loss of his arm and a lower leg didn’t bother Xu Mu that much, as long as he could restore his cultivation, he is capable of regenerating his lost limbs.

To survive the turbulence of space, merely losing an arm and a leg was indeed a bargain.

What really upsets Xu Mu is the loss of his Sky-splitting Halberd.

The Sky-splitting Halberd was held in his right hand, now that the right hand was lost, naturally his halberd was lost too.

The Sky-splitting Halberd was not just priceless, but also something that helped him overcome numerous obstacles. Losing it feels deeply distressing.

“Elder Brother Mu, let me help you!”

The young girl quickly came forward to assist him.

“No need!”

Xu Mu smiled and quickly stood up with a little effort of his left hand. Using the wooden stick tied to his left leg, he maintained balance and awkwardly walked towards the door.

‘I should look for an opportunity to make a prosthetic limb for myself. Just relying on this single wooden stick is too inconvenient.’

Despite the absence of Spiritual Energy, with his Tier-Ten Puppetry Technique, making a prosthetic hand or leg for daily living was not a difficult task.

It’s just that, he had been trying to restore his cultivation, so he had been improvising with a wooden stick.

The girl watching Xu Mu unharmed, paused and turned to walk out with him, but her large watery eyes couldn’t help but occasionally glance at his left leg.

“Yue, what’s for dinner today?” Xu Mu asked casually.

“Uncle Nan Hu caught two bamboo rats and dug up some purple fern roots!” Yue answered with a smile.

“Looks like Uncle Nan Hu had some good luck today!” Xu Mu laughed.

Even though his true age could make him the forefather of the others, he looked young. If he didn’t address them, it would seem impolite.

Just outside the house was a rugged wilderness, the middle-aged man with graying hair, also known as Uncle Nan Hu to them, was sitting in front of the fire roasting a plump bamboo rat. There was a grilling rack on the side, a few large bamboo tubes on the grill with a slight constant emission of steam which, on contact with the fire, produced crackling noises.

Xu Mu sat down on a rock near the fire, instantly hit by the rich aroma of meat mixed with a faint sweet scent wafting to his nose.

Yue quickly walked to the grill, carefully took a section of the bamboo and placed it in front of Xu Mu. She then peeled off the top half of it, revealing a hot, dark purple root inside the bamboo.

That was the Purple Fern Root Yue mentioned, it possessed a taste similar to taro from his previous world, only slightly more bitter. Even though it smelled sweet, it didn’t particularly taste so.

But in this wilderness, there was not much else to eat, apart from these.

As for meat, there were mainly bamboo rats, and that was only an occasional treat.

‘Who would have thought that as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, I would actually end up having to eat ordinary human food.’
