Chapter 350: Chapter 319: 1000 Years_1


    “Shen n? Have you heard of them?” Xu Mu asked mentally.


    “No!” came the reply.


    The ck YuanYing shook its head.


    “There’s no record of them in the information you received?”


    “If there were, I would have told you!” retorted the ck YuanYing. “What’s your next move?”


    “I’ll do what needs to be done!”


    Xu Mu stated, “Allow me to use the Pool of Creation. I promise not to cause any harm. Regardless of what you say, I won’t stop.”


    “Don’t push your luck!”


    The ethereal voice responded angrily.


    “These are my conditions, or we continue as we were,” Xu Mu responded with unyielding resolve.<div>


    The voice on the ind fell silent for a moment, pondering, or perhaps consulting.


    “I can agree to your terms, but you must swear an oath first!” it said finally.


    “Agreed!”


    If he didn’t swear an oath, the other party would never trust him. It was apromise on both sides.


    After some negotiation, both parties swore their oaths. The other party withdrew from the ind entirely, and Xu Mu was allowed on the ind, permission granted to use the Pool of Creation and nothing more.


    After the vows werepleted, the auras on the ind vanished one by one, and his clone was released.


    During this process, Xu Mu did not see a single person’s true face.


    He began to wonder if the Shen n were humans or apparitions.


    Xu Mu did notnd immediately, instead, he sent his already present clone into the Pool of Creation.


    The rich life force enveloped the clone. Not only was its cultivation level rapidly improving, but its physical conditioning was also constantly refined, steering toward an elusive direction.


    When Xu Mu confirmed from the ck YuanYing’s effect that it was indeed the Pool of Creation, he flew straight toward the ind.


    “Are you insane? What if it’s a trap?” the ck YuanYing hurriedly warned. “Why not send in a puppet instead?”


    Though the enemy had sworn an oath, it was not foolproof. If they decided to make a move regardless of the consequences, he would be like a fish in a barrel.


    “There’s only one chance. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever!”


    “What do you mean?” asked ck YuanYing, puzzled.


    Xu Mu didn’t exin. He quickly made his way to the Pool of Creation located at the center of the ind.


    The enemy could potentiallyy a trap. However, in the uncertain situation of whether he was the real body or a clone, they would not rashly make a move. His careful and tentative testing would reveal his true self. The longer he dragged it out, the more the enemy would find out, and the more disadvantageous the situation would be. So, he chose to go straight in.


    Once the enemy found out his truth, he could alreadyplete his n.


    That’s why Xu Mu said there was only one chance. It must be bold.<div>


    He had initially hesitated due to unfamiliarity with the situation andck of confidence. But now, he took the risk with ample assurance.


    Any action carried inherent risks, but one must judge their capabilities.


    He didn’t discuss these things with the ck YuanYing because their rtionship was about to end.


    “Since it’s found and indeed effective, you should let me go now, shouldn’t you?” asserted the ck YuanYing.<div>


    “Wait until I recover, and I’ll naturally let you go,” Xu Mu replied casually.


    “…”


    ck YuanYing turned slightly pale but said nothing else.


    Xu Mu touched the pool water. The potent life force surged into him along his palm.


    His once-withered aged palm started pulsating with life like a drought-strickennd that had just received rain.


    It really works!


    Xu Mu couldn’t help but be excited.


    The loss of life force was like a disease gnawing at his heart. It had brought him great suffering over the years, and every day was a struggle, as if he were being chased from behind.


    Taking a deep breath, Xu Mu slowly walked into the pool.


    At the same time, he released two other clones, sinking them quickly to the bottom of the pool.


    The seriously injured Qi Cultivation clone was rapidly healed, quickly returning to the Foundation Establishment Stage.


    This life energy was a panacea. It could heal wounds, restore life force, and even elevate cultivation levels.


    If it were other cultivators in the pool, they would most likely only be able to choose one function.<div>


    But Xu Mu’s clones had virtually no bottlenecks in terms of realm. All they needed was energy.


    With the endless supply of life force, each of them began to rapidly improve their cultivation.


    After entering the pool, Xu Mu opened his system to check his lifespan.


    [Lifespan: 167/291]!


    [Lifespan: 160/300]!


    [Lifespan: 160/310]!


    [Lifespan: 160/320]!


    …


    Seeing the relentless ascension of his lifespan limit brought Xu Mu great joy.


    What was the limit?


    Theoretically, with his current cultivation level, he should have a lifespan of 800 years. But let’s not forget, he had also cultivated Body Refinement, so his lifespan should be significantly longer than ordinary Golden Pill cultivators.


    After seven days of replenishment, when Xu Mu’s lifespan reached a thousand years, he was no longer able to absorb the life energy from the pool water.


    It seems that a thousand years is the limit, slightly lower than he had expected, but still eptable.<div>


    Now he hadpletely lost his old state, returning to his youthful appearance, his body was full of vitality, like the morning sun at dawn.


    No one would think that he nearly died seven days ago.


    Now that his life force was restored, his biggest worry was lifted.


    Whether he choose to retain his memories for the Nascent Soul breakthrough, or to seek an immediate opportunity to break through, his chances were muchrgerpared to before.


    And the pool water possessed a mysterious power that cleansed the imprint of various Martial Methods in his body, purifying his body. This increased the chances of condensing his Ancestral Nascent Soul.


    “Now can you let me go?” the ck YuanYing asked.


    “Of course!”


    Xu Mu promptly summoned the ck YuanYing.


    Although they had known each other for over a decade, the ck YuanYing showed no interest in saying goodbye when it was released. Instead, it prepared to teleport away from Xu Mu’s sight.


    But at that moment, the ck YuanYing sensed something was wrong. Its magic couldn’t be activated because the surroundings were too suppressive.


    “You tricked me!”


    The ck YuanYing looked both shocked and furious.


    That’s when it realized that it was at the bottom of the Pool of Creation.<div>


    The Pool of Creation wasn’t vast, but it was significantly deep, at least hundreds of feet deep.


    Being a cultivator of dark arts, the pool water, a treasure to others, was poison to it.


    Where the YuanYing’s body came into contact with the pool water,rge amounts of ck smoke rose, much like a heated iron rod thrown into the water.


    Its YuanYing body was dissolving rapidly. If it stayed any longer, it would die here.


    “I let you out as per our agreement. As for where I let you out, we never specified,” Xu Mu replied nonchntly.
