Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 238: Chapter 207 Blue Crystal Ray_1

“Are you sure this will work?”

The Puppet Cat stared at the Great Array before it, expressing its doubt.

“Whether or not it works, let’s just give it a try first!”

Xu Mu inserted the last Spirit Stone in the formation, stood up and looked at the Puppet Cat: “Senior, do you really not know the power of the beast on the mountain?”

“I’ve already said it many times! If I knew, would I need to hide it from you?” The Puppet Cat replied reluctantly.

“It can’t be more than tier nine, can it?”

The further he advanced in his cultivation, the larger the gap between each level became. If it was a tier nine Monster beast, with his various trump cards, he could still put up a bit of a fight.

If it was comparable to a tier ten Nascent Soul Stage, all he could do would be to meet his death head-on.

The Nascent Soul Stage, to ordinary people, was like a land immortal. Not only does it have a lifespan of thousands of years, but it also possesses Divine Skills such as teleportation and possession.

Even the weakest Nascent Soul Stage was tens to hundreds of times stronger than the best Golden Core Stage.

This is why a single Nascent Soul Stage could establish a Super School and occupy tens of thousands of miles of territory.

“Rest assured, Master didn’t send you here to die! It definitely won’t be more than tier nine!”

Upon hearing the Puppet Cat’s assurance, Xu Mu felt a bit more at ease.

He placed his hands on the formation and began to infuse it with Spiritual Power, activating the formation.

The red glow of spiritual power spread outwards like a bloodline, quickly covering the entire Great Array.

All its power converged onto a mirror-like Magic Artifact at its center.

When the power of the formation was at its peak, a huge white pillar of light suddenly shot out from the mirror and pierced the sky.

The dank, dark space within a radius of ten miles was instantly illuminated.

Both the man and the cat quickly distanced themselves from the formation, nervously watching the insects swarming in the distance.

Attracted by the light, the swarms of insects initially circling the mountains began to stir, and then moved en masse towards the light.

“It worked!”

Xu Mu was overjoyed.

When he noticed the brilliance emitting from the mountains, he guessed that these insects might have been lured by this light.

As it turned out, it was indeed the case.

Insects will always be insects; no matter how formidable they are, they can’t change their love for light.

Once most of the insects were drawn away, the hidden mountain finally revealed its form.

The mountain was over a hundred feet tall, and very steep. It was filled with blue crystals.

The light that he had glimpsed through the swarm of insects was emanating from these blue crystals. Compared to the brilliance he had evoked with the Great Array, the glow of these blue crystals was much dimmer.

“Let’s go!”

Once most of the insects were drawn away, they started to move, flying towards the big mountain filled with blue crystals.

The bright Great Array was a temporary modification of his, with only a tier five, it would not last long under the siege of numerous bugs. Therefore, he had to act quickly, aiming for a swift victory.

Just as he was about to land at the foot of the mountain, the Puppet Cat jumped down from his shoulder.

“I’m too weak, I wouldn’t be of much help if I went there. I won’t be a hindrance!”

Having said that, the Puppet Cat drilled into the ground and disappeared in an instant.

Xu Mu looked at the spot where the cat had disappeared, his eyes flickered for a moment, then he continued to fly towards the mountain.

With his Divine Intent sweeping out, he quickly detected a presence hidden halfway up the mountain.

At the same time, the presence also detected him.

A monster beast, more than ten feet tall with fins on its back and a body covered with thick white fur, resembling a fox, slowly emerged from a cave halfway up the mountain.

It leapt onto a huge stone in front of the cave. Its fur fluttered in the wind, and it looked down on the approaching Xu Mu from its pair of blue eyes.

When they were about thirty feet apart, Xu Mu suddenly stopped. Then he flicked his sleeve, launching several red lines that flew towards the White Fox.

With his back against the wall, Xu Mu had no other choices left. For his daughter’s sake, he had to take action, regardless of the opponent’s strength.

Facing the incoming red lines, the White Fox did not choose to evade. Just as they were about to hit him, two beams of blue light suddenly shot out from its eyes, striking the red lines on the spot.

The red lines turned crystalline and blue where they were hit, and the crystallization quickly spread along the lines.

Xu Mu was startled and immediately tried to pull the lines back. However, as soon as he pulled them, they snapped off at the crystallized spots.

“Fuck! What kind of Divine Skill is that?”

Xu Mu was truly taken aback this time.

This was a tier seven magic artifact made from exceptionally precious materials. The ordinary early-stage practitioners at the Golden Core Stage shouldn’t dream of being able to cut it, even with all their might.

And now, it has merely been severed by two streaks of light.

After Xu Mu retracted the red thread, he found that due to the severance, the spirituality of the red thread ball was greatly compromised. Not only was its power greatly reduced, but it seemed nearly impossible to fix it.

He only had two magic artifacts, and one was destroyed before he even encountered an enemy.

Xu Mu carefully stored the red thread ball, then released the purple clouded handkerchief to surround himself, his hands gathering a thundering strike of purple lightning.

Since the magic artifacts didn’t work, he had to resort to using skill attacks.

“Go!”

The speed of the lightning attack was extremely fast, it reached the white fox in the blink of an eye.

This lightning was the Heavenly Punishment Purple Thunder formed after reaching the Transcendent level in practicing the Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body, it was also the strongest Thunderring Divine Skill in Xu Mu’s arsenal.

The white fox didn’t have time to dodge, or rather, it didn’t seem to have any intention to dodge.

Just as the lightning was about to attack, a cyan blue crystal stone suddenly rose up within and blocked the lightning strike.

The purple lightning hit the crystal stone, emitted an explosive sound then was guided into the surrounding mountains.

Xu Mu’s face became ugly.

His strongest Thunderring Divine Skill didn’t harm a single hair on the opponent.

But it couldn’t be blamed on him, who would have thought that these crystals also had a conductive function.

“Since Thunderring doesn’t work, then — ”

Xu Mu reached into his storage bag, pulling out dozens of tier-four talismans of various attributes, then without any hesitation, he threw them at the white fox.

He didn’t expect these talismans to hurt the opponent, he just wanted to see if any elements could suppress the opponent and then develop a specialized countermeasure.

Dozens of talismans transformed into gold, wood, water, fire, and earth attribute magic spells encapsulating the white fox and the area several dozen feet ahead of it.

The white fox still used the same method, summoning one cyan crystal stone after another, blocking all the spells.

While doing so, it also concealed itself.

Just when Xu Mu was preparing to use different attack methods, he suddenly felt a chilly sensation on his back. Instinctively, he dodged to the side.

The next moment, two azure rays of light shot from behind him.

One of them was dodged, but the other one hit the protective barrier formed by the purple cloud handkerchief squarely.

Crack! Crack!

Upon being hit, a large area of the protective barrier immediately showed blue crystallization, spreading around quickly like a virus.

Xu Mu desperately injected spiritual power into the purple clouded handkerchief but still failed to curb the crystallization process, having to gulp down the pain and shatter the crystallized parts.

After only two bouts of exchange, the only two magic artifacts Xu Mu had left were rendered useless.

“This crystal beam is too abnormal, there’s just no way to fight it!”

Xu Mu didn’t hesitate. The wings of flame and thunder unfolded behind him, ready for an immediate escape.

Before finding a way to counter the Crystal Beam, it’s best to withdraw first.

Xu Mu wanted to leave, but the white fox wasn’t about to let him go.

The white fox emerged from the ground’s crystals, its four hooves stepping on the void, transformed into a beam of white light, and instantly blocked him.

The blue light flashed in its eyes, shooting two azure light beams at Xu Mu.

Xu Mu, who couldn’t dodge in time, could only use the Purple Cloud Handkerchief to block them. As expected, two large holes appeared on the Purple Cloud Handkerchief.

After this fight, this defensive magic artifact was completely ruined.

Without wasting any time to grieve over his artifact, Xu Mu changed directions and continued running.

His character was always to plan before acting, he doesn’t like fighting head- on.

He could escape and ask the puppet cat about any possible countermeasures, it wouldn’t be late to take action once he was prepared.

However, Xu Mu severely underestimated the speed of the white fox. Before he could turn around, the white fox had already turned into an escape light, blocking his path.

A dread enveloped Xu Mu.

Was he suddenly feeling an ominous chill?
