Chapter 535: Chapter 488: The New Sect_2
Just as a loud explosion was heard, the surrounding the natural forces began to tremble.
Xu Mu felt his arm, numb as if it were paralyzed, and a sliver of fear arose in his heart. Who on earth was this old man? His cultivation was incredibly powerful.
But this was not the time to be pondering such things, he had to focus his attention to deal with the old man.
Seeing Xu Mu’s determination, the old man spoke in a cold tone: “Boy, you’re good. But I hope you can understand one thing. Some people are destined to be wiped out from birth.”
A chill ran down Xu Mu’s spine, he understood that the old man was warning him that his cultivation was inadequate, he needed to train harder.
Without any heed for caution, he drew out his Sky-splitting Halberd and charged at the old man.
He knew, the Sky-splitting Halberd was his strongest weapon in the Divinity Transformation Stage, his last resort.
The old man appeared to see Xu Mu’s determination, immediately he also dropped all pretenses, as his cultivation operated at full power, a powerful force burst from within him, directly attacking Xu Mu.
Xu Mu only felt as if his body had been struck by a powerful force, being blown away, and landed heavily on the ground.
He felt as though his internal organs had been displaced, there was also an uncontrollable trace of blood dribbling down the corner of his mouth.
He knew there was a vast disparity between his strength and the old man’s, it would be nearly impossible to defeat him, but he was out of retreats.
With a clench of his teeth, he struggled to rise, charging at the old man again.
The old man seemed a bit confused by Xu Mu’s resistance, but he showed no mercy, his every movement and form of attack being exceedingly savage.
Very soon Xu Mu was losing ground again, once more blown away by the strong force.
His body rolled in the air, landing heavily on the ground.
At this moment he felt as if his body was being torn apart by a powerful force, his internal cultivation also becoming chaotic.
He knew his injuries were serious, if not treated promptly, it could be life threatening.
He tried to rise, but his body remained motionless.
He knew his bones might be broken, the injuries were too severe.
Then the old man slowly approached Xu Mu, a malicious smile crossed his face, he said: “Boy, what moves do you have left? If you beg me now, I can perhaps give you a quick end.”
Xu Mu clenched his teeth, his eyes defiant, he will never beg this old man, because that would mean abandoning his dignity and family.
He knew that his body couldn’t move anymore, but his eyes were filled with determination and resolution.
He believed his family could come out of the God Refining Tripod, and they would find him and take him back.
Thinking of this, a warm current surged in his heart, that was the warmth of family.
But after seeing the look in Xu Mu’s eyes, the old man couldn’t help but hold a little respect for him.
Even though he was a highly-cultivated individual in the Divinity Transformation Stage, he experienced countless life and death situations over his lifetime, he knew the true definition of a warrior.
He did not kill Xu Mu, but instead turned and walked away.
After watching the old man depart, Xu Mu heaved a sigh of relief.
He knew he needed to treat his body as soon as possible, otherwise it could affect his cultivation.
He quickly mobilized his internal cultivation and began to heal his body.
Just then, a voice asked from beside him: “Boy, are you alright?”
Xu Mu was taken aback, he turned his head to see a middle-aged man in a green robe standing in front of him.
He couldn’t help but feel puzzled. He hadn’t met this man before, so why was he helping him?
However, at the moment, he didn’t have the time to dwell on this question as his body was on the verge of collapsing.
The middle-aged man seemed to have noticed Xu Mu’s weakness. He promptly stepped forward, helped him up, and asked, “What happened to you? How did you get so seriously injured?”
Xu Mu gratefully looked at the middle-aged man. Even though he didn’t recognize him, this stranger had extended a helping hand at a time when he needed help most.
He tried to stand up, but his body wouldn’t respond.
The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Mu’s condition and remarked, “You need immediate treatment; otherwise, it may lead to complications.”
Xu Mu nodded. He knew his injuries were severe, and if not treated promptly, they might affect his future.
The middle-aged man immediately helped Xu Mu walk towards the distance.
Shortly after, they arrived in a secluded valley where a simple wooden cabin stood.
After helping Xu Mu into the cabin, the middle-aged man began treating his injuries promptly.
Xu Mu only felt a warm force enveloping his body. The unbearable pain from his wounds gradually subsided.
After a long time, the middle-aged man finally stopped. He looked at Xu Mu and said, “I’ve managed to stabilize your condition temporarily, but you still need to rest for a while to fully recover.”
Xu Mu gratefully looked at the middle-aged man, knowing that he owed his survival to this stranger’s assistance.
Filled with gratitude, he respectfully asked, “Thank you for saving me, may I know your name?”
The middle-aged man gave a gentle smile and said, “You can call me Brother Qingyun.”
Hearing Brother Qingyun’s response, Xu Mu felt a sense of warmth. In a strange place, he had met such a kind-hearted person, making him feel that he wasn’t alone in his fight.
Brother Qingyun saw Xu Mu’s look of gratitude and chuckled, “You don’t need to thank me; in fact, I had my reasons for helping you.”
Confused, Xu Mu looked at Brother Qingyun, not understanding the meaning of his words.
Brother Qingyun continued, “Actually, I wanted to invite you to join my sect, as I’m greatly impressed by your talent and strength.”
Hearing Brother Qingyun’s words, Xu Mu felt a jolt of surprise. He had never expected this stranger to invite him to join his sect.
He had been looking for a place to enhance his cultivation, and now he had finally found an excellent opportunity, which he did not want to let go.
However, he remained apprehensive because he did not know what kind of person Brother Qingyun was or what sort of sect he belonged to.
Seeing Xu Mu’s apprehension, Brother Qingyun assured him with a smile, “You can rest assured, the sect I belong to is very righteous and free of any danger or hidden troubles.”
Relief washed over Xu Mu upon hearing Brother Qingyun’s words. He knew that his injuries needed prompt treatment, or they might affect his cultivation.
He promptly agreed, following Brother Qingyun to his sect.
Before long, they arrived at a place of remarkable natural beauty. A huge mountain peak rose high into the heaven and earth, inscribed with the words: “Qingyun Sect”.
Looking at these words, Xu Mu felt a surge of awe. He knew that he had finally found a place to advance his cultivation, marking a new starting point for him.
The strength of the Qingyun sect was mighty, far surpassing the sects in his original small realm. The Qingyun Gate’s most powerful elder ancestor had even reached the stage of Union, several levels higher than his initial Divinity Transformation Stage.
To reach the stage of Union, he would need to pass through the medium and late stage of Divinity Transformation, as well as the initial, medium and late stages of Refining Void. The journey would be extremely long.
“But in any case, at least there’s a chance in this world. No matter how hard I try in the original world, it’s useless!”
“Once I settle down, I’ll bring Ying Ying and the others over!”
His wives, Ye Yingying, Si Tan’er, were all still in another space!
