Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 519: Chapter 476 Hidden Danger_1

Xu Mu didn’t encounter any disturbances during his journey. Given his current cultivation level, unless someone knew about him in advance, it would be difficult for them to recognize him even if he was standing right in front of them.

This is also why ordinary cultivators rarely see high-tier cultivators; most of them intentionally hide their identity and avoid exposure.

Moreover, Xu Mu has a formidable enemy, hence he hides his traces whenever possible.

Upon arriving at the base of the Outer Sea Alliance, Xu Mu released his Divine Intent. He didn’t find Lu Jingkong but detected two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

One was the Sword Offering Boot Boy, and the other was True Monarch Riding Waves!

“It seems these guys didn’t let their guard down despite the favorable situation.” Xu Mu sighed inwardly.

As people who have been pursued by various forces for a long time, having multiple fallback plans is a necessity.

Even though Xu Mu is now backing them, and neither the Inner Sea nor the Sea Race are openly hostile to them anymore, no one knows if the situation could change abruptly in the future.

These cunning old foxes who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years would certainly not risk their lives recklessly.

Without guessing, you’d know that other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators must have gone into hiding.

These people surely employ a rotation system to maintain vigilance, so as to avoid being caught off guard should any side turn hostile.

Even these two who remained as guards seemed ready to flee at the first sign of anomalies.

Time has been too short; a few hundred years later things should be more stable.

Furthermore, he noticed that a large number of cultivators were in seclusion at the base.

It was clearly due to the availability of resources, and most people took this opportunity to attempt to break through their cultivation bottleneck.

As the nominal Alliance Hierarch, Lu Jingkong was naturally even less willing to place herself in danger. However, she should have a jade slip used for communication. If a real problem arises, and she is unable to take action promptly, it would certainly affect her prestige.

Xu Mu, who has her contact information, directly used a Jade Talisman to contact her after finding her absent in the base.

After establishing contact, he didn’t stay at the base any longer and directly went to where Lu Jingkong was hiding.

Here, he met several other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

“This place is quite concealed, but lacks Spiritual Energy, doesn’t this delay your cultivation?” Xu Mu asked, standing on a deserted-looking island. The vigorous Lu Jingkong opened the formation and came out to greet him.

“How can any Spirit Vein compare to the Spirit Stone, we are now directly using spirit stones for cultivation,” Lu Jingkong said confidently.

“Haha! It seems you guys have gained quite some benefits, truly rich and imposing!” Xu Mu laughed.

Though the order had just been established, the profits were still terrifying.

This was exactly why the usually solitary Loose Cultivators were willing to follow them.

Who would risk their life without substantial benefits?

Who would take risks without huge gains?

Xu Mu didn’t enter her retreat spot, and they chatted casually outside.

“Have people from Cluster Stars Sect caused any trouble?” Xu Mu asked.

The size of the world’s cake was limited. As they reaped enormous benefits, others inevitably suffered significant losses.

And the person who lost the most was undoubtedly the original ruler of the Human Clan, the Cluster Stars Sect.

“No!”

Lu Jingkong shook her head and continued: “They haven’t made any moves at all, which I find quite strange.”

Lu Jingkong had lived for a thousand years, she was no fool. Naturally, she guessed this as well.

But the Cluster Stars Sect seemed to be acting honestly, which was completely beyond her expectations.

The Cluster Stars Sect has existed for so many years, their foundation was unimaginable.

Perhaps they couldn’t confront them in terms of high-level combat power, at least not for now, but the forces they have at the mid to low tiers would definitely crush them.

Unless the Sea Race was willing to help, based on the foundation of the Cluster Stars Sect, making their lives uneasy would be very simple.

“Could it be that because the time is too short, they don’t want to act just yet?” Lan Jingkong speculated.

Xu Mu shook his head and said: “From the beginning of the formation of their alliance they must have known. If they wanted to cause trouble, they would have been prepared long ago. Now they are standing still, they must have some other idea.”

Xu Mu didn’t believe that Cluster Stars Sect would kindly let them go and allow them to grow and expand like this.

Although they are in full swing right now, there is still a huge gap compared with Cluster Stars Sect.

This would also be the best time for them to take action against the Alliance.

If they do not seize control while their foundation is unstable, it will be more troublesome to make a move later when their alliance has fully stabilized.

The other party is not a fool, why would they just sit back and watch the good situation unfold?

Even if they can’t deal with Xu Mu at the high-end combat strength, overall, they still surpass them. Even if they can’t completely eradicate them at once, dragging them down and slowing their development is still easy to accomplish.

The current tranquility is the most worrisome.

“Aside from this matter, are there any other unusual situations?”

“There is one anomaly. In the area we control and the Sea Race’s domain, many people have appeared and are inquiring about your whereabouts.”

This slight anomaly hadn’t caused a serious concern because people had been asking about them since the early days of the war.

Not only were they seeking information about Xu Mu, but they were also seeking information about him and other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
