Palace of Pure Heart

“Xu Mu, from now on, Tian Yi is in your care!”

Nangong Suyi reluctantly handed over the sleeping baby in her arms to Xu Mu.

“Do you have confidence in this?” asked Xu Mu.

“I did not originally, but during the years I carried Tian Yi, I have gamed some

insights.”

Nangong Suyi revealed a slight smile.

“Tian Yi and I will be waiting for you to come out!”

After their last moments of intimacy, in which Nangong Suyi satisfied all of Xu Mu’s requests, she entered training room and began her secluded cultivation that challenged life and death.

If successful, she would become a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator who would live for more than a thousand years; if unsuccessful, she would perish completely.

Xu Mu sighed and, taking Tian Yi with him, arrived at the Hidden Fog Courtyard, entrusting her to Su Luan’s care.

Aside from Tian Yi, who Nangong Suyi had given birth to, there were also Xu Tianpu, the son bore by Su Luan, and Xu Tiantian, the daughter of Mo Wuxin, living in the courtyard.

Although Mo Wuxin did not need to seclude herself for cultivation, she needed to keep her situation a secret. She couldn’t reveal Tiantian’s identity so she had to leave her in Su Luan’s care. However, she made sure to come and visit her every day.

“You philanderer, have you had yet another child with that shameless woman?”

Mo Wuxin, who was looking after Xu Tiantian, saw Xu Mu bringing back Tian Yi and could not help but coldly mock him.

She did not know about Xu Mu’s relationship with her master Nangong Suyi.

“What kind of a nonsense are you talking! Is it shameful for her to have a child with me? Then what are you?” said Xu Mu, teasing her back, “Oh! I forgot!

You’re a man!”

“You?? ”

An infuriated Mo Wuxin put down Xu Tiantian, who was eating something, and

was about to teach Xu Mu a lesson.

With a flick of her fingers, she conjured a dragon made of endless water and fire, coiling around Xu Mu and assaulting him.

After her breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, the power of her Divine Skills was more than ten times greater than during the Foundation Establishment Stage, so much so that it was comparable to an apocalyptic force.

Xu Mu also made a hand seal and a surge of purple thunder materialized, piercing through the water and fire dragon within seconds and striking Mo Wuxin’s body. Mo Wuxin could barely resist it by activating numerous protective spiritual lights.

An indignant Mo Wuxin wanted to continue fighting, but Xu Mu waved both of his hands, and countless red lines ensnared Mo Wuxin.

This was the spell artifact known as the Red Line Orb, which Xu Mu had obtained from Mu Yunwan at the Butian Pavilion. He had recently soaked it in Spiritual Liquid, refining it. At the same time, he had also refined the Purple Cloud Handkerchief, ensuring his ability to both attack and defend.

Though a seventh-tier spell artifact only outranked a sixth-tier spiritual artifact by one tier, its power and value far surpassed that of the spiritual artifact.

Many cultivators, even those who have broken through to the Golden Core Realm for over a hundred years, might still not have a handy spell artifact which speaks to the difficulty of obtaining such an artifact.

Xu Mu was a rare exception, in that he immediately had two of them upon

advancing, even in large sects.

Although the Palace of Pure Heart had deep foundations, backed by the Four Seas Immortal Palace, Mo Wuxin did not possess any spell artifact after more than a decade following her breakthrough.

“You bastard! Let me go!”

Mo Wuxin struggled to free herself, but the more she did, the tighter the red lines got. Xu Mu’s skilful application of the Red Line Orb completely outlined and highlighted her figure, truly the technique of a master.

Realizing Xu Mu was purposely humiliating her, an indignant Mo Wuxin’s face turned red. In her heart, she swore to teach him a lesson once she finished creating her own spell artifact.

“Elder! Sister Mo! Why are you fighting again?”

Hearing the commotion outside, Su Luan hurriedly ran out from the house. The big fruits on her branches bobbed up and down, appearing so heavy that they could break the branches. It made people instinctively want to reach out and help.

“Luan’er, you take care of the two of them for a moment. I need to discuss something with your senior sister!”

Xu Mu brought Mo Wuxin into the room with a smile.

“You jerk! Let go… uh… uh…”

Soon, the sounds of splashing water filled the room, continuing for two to three hours. When the door opened, Mo Wuxin hurriedly put on her robe and, transforming into an escape light, quickly left.

Such shame!

Though such situations had occurred several times before.

“Senior, why are you bullying Sister Mo again!” Su Luan protested.

“If I don’t bully her, do you want me to bully you instead?”

Xu Mu smiled and grabbed the big pomelo. Soon after, Master Xu was busy again.

Happy days always passed quickly. He spent his days alternating between riding the big one and the small one, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Mu returned to the White River Marketplace once again, plucking a newly- ripened blue gourd and manufacturing a brand-new clone.

instead of giving this clone directly away, Xu Mu took a few more years to cultivate it to the Foundation Establishment Stage, then let it practice the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill, and passed on the essence of Nemean Thunder Shark to it.

The purpose of this clone was to to go to the Outer Sea and obtain materials he speculated he needed to refine his magical treasures.

Despite having the red thread ball and purple cloud silk handkerchief, these two magical treasures were not compatible with his martial method, the Kun Peng Tun Tian Jue. Their future potential and power were limited.

Xu Mu prepared to refine two lifebound treasures that were recorded in his martial method as his trump cards.

One of the treasures was the Wing of Kun Peng, which could greatly enhance his movement speed and could be used simultaneously with his divine skills.

The other was the Tun Tian Pearl. Its main function was to store spiritual power, allowing cultivators to harness spiritual power far beyond their peers. Combined with the divine skill of Kun Peng Tun Tian Jue, it was capable of completely overpowering others.

However, the materials required for these two treasures were extremely rare.

One required the feathers of the Kun Peng, and the other required the spine bones of the Kun Peng.

The Kun Peng was known as a True Spirit with power equivalent to the Mahayana Realm. Not to mention that it was impossible to find one in this world, even if it was found, Xu Mu did not have the strength to obtain the two materials.

Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining.

The martial method recorded that, in addition to the Kun Peng, one could also use exotic beasts with the bloodline of the Kun Peng as alternates.

To Xu Mu’s knowledge, the imperial clan of the Sea Race possessed the bloodline of the Kun Peng.

This was why Ming Ling Yulan had the Kun Peng Tun Tian Jue.

Some of the imperial clan with a higher bloodline concentration would exhibit ancestral traits and grow Kun Peng wings.

Xu Mu planned to see if he could infiltrate the Sea Race with his clone to somehow obtain the two treasure materials.

Lifebound treasures were different from ordinary treasures. Not only were they incredibly powerful, they could also level up together with their cultivator, possessing infinite potential in the future. Moreover, they could save Xu Mu a great amount of Luck Value.

Even if the materials couldn’t be found, the worst thing would be wasting a single clone.

As the second clone set off for the Outer Sea, life wasn’t exactly peaceful for the first clone.

Without taking any Nascent Soul pills, the first clone reached the fourth stage of Qi Cultivation in just one year and five months. This speed of cultivation made Luo Qingchen and Li Heng realize that the elders might have really made a mistake.

Now they faced a tough choice: should they report Xu Mu’s progress or let him stay here.

Lonely Sword Peak, fallen so low, had finally gained a genius. He could be their only hope for revival, but giving him up was unbearable.

But if they didn’t hand him over, Lonely Sword Peak’s current situation couldn’t provide for Xu Mu’s cultivation. Staying would just waste his potential. “Hand him over! Forcing him to stay will not only do no good, but may also make enemies in the future.”

After a struggle, Luo Qingchen still decided to report Xu Mu’s situation to the

Sect.
