Chapter 324: Chapter 293 Contract_1

“I can tell you everything that I know, but how can I be sure that you won’t betray me!”

The Black Nascent Soul was still somewhat unwilling.

“Do you really think you have the room to negotiate!” Xu Mu disdainfully retorted.

He was just in an inconvenient location to absorb it. As long as he got away from this place, even the slightest friction could grind it to death.

“I certainly do!!”

The Black Nascent Soul confidently replied, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re probably holding a lot of secrets. If I don’t cooperate with you, the Imperial family will definitely become suspicious of you. Once they investigate and unearth your secrets, I’m afraid it won’t end well for you!”

“Well, you’re sharp!” spoke Xu Mu calmly, “However, do you think you could escape if they were to probe me? Plus, how do you know that I don’t have a way out! Don’t forget how I hurt you before. I can fully control the corpse puppet and impersonate you! Also, the fact that I could enter here means that I’m backed by the Imperial family. Even if they harbor some doubts, they will not harm me! I don’t have time to argue with you, you better give me a reason that stirs my interest!”

Upon hearing Xu Mu’s words, the Black Nascent Soul looked a bit sullen, as if being toyed with.

It indeed wanted to use the secrets in Xu Mu’s possession as a leverage. As far as it knew, God Refining Tripod could not possibly be taken out of the Heavenly Prison, let alone appear in the hands of a non-Imperial person. Therefore, there must be a problem with Xu Mu’s identity.

Since clearly, its threats had no effect on Xu Mu.

However, it still had other plans!

“According to my senses, the life force in your body isn’t naturally fading away, is it?”

“So what if it is!” replied Xu Mu casually.

It was only normal for the opponent, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, who had entered his body, to notice the abnormality in his body.

“I know of a place that can not only restore your life force but also enable your body constitution to be even more superior, becoming pure and flawless. You may even have the chance to condense an Ancestral Nascent Soul!”

“Ancestral Nascent Soul? What is that?” asked Xu Mu puzzled.

“…”

The Black Nascent Soul was left utterly speechless.

It had initially thought that Xu Mu, considering his profound foundation, must have a strong inheritance. And on the verge of entering the Nascent Soul Stage, how could he not know about such a basic thing.

Did he perhaps figure things out all by himself?

Such a thought shocked the Black Nascent Soul.

This type of cultivator is commonly known as a Loose Cultivator.

Actually, none of this could be blamed on Xu Mu. Even though he had joined many significant powers before, either the time spent with these forces was too short or his status was too low for him to have access to this knowledge.

Moreover, his lifespan had been long during the early stages, so he was in no rush to break through. Later on, he was always on the move and never had the chance to inquire about it, that’s why he was oblivious about these matters.

Above all, what the Black Nascent Soul was saying was actually considered specialized knowledge, something most cultivators wouldn’t be concerned with because they simply couldn’t meet the requirements.

Seeing that Xu Mu didn’t appear to be fooling him, and since it wasn’t critical information, the Black Nascent Soul quickly explained.

It turned out that a cultivator’s advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage wasn’t as simple as just reaching the level of cultivation and passing through the Heart Demon Tribulation to form the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul, as commonly known, is usually an Attribute Nascent Soul. In fact, there are many different types of Nascent Souls which the Cultivation World has categorized into three types —
