Chapter 405: Chapter 374: Golden Light_1

“Space Cracks! Magical Beasts! Who would have thought I’d come across these two most dangerous things in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm at the same time!” Xu Mu whispered to himself.

That silent thing, which tore through the Wind Dragon, was the infamous Space Crack of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm. Regardless of whether it was a magical gust of wind or even a magic weapon above tier ten, chances were, it wouldn’t be able to withstand the force.

Originally, it was very challenging to come across a Space Crack in the outer areas. He hadn’t expected to encounter one the moment he entered. Was this a stroke of luck, or just unfortunate?

Xu Mu halted the Wind Dragon, squeezed the Finger Jue and repaired the torn body of the Wind Dragon.

He glanced at the place where the Wind Dragon was sliced open but found no trace of the Space Crack.

“It’s a micro Space Crack, no wonder the intelligence gathered advises to be cautious while on the move!” Xu Mu thought.

These notorious micro Space Cracks are incredibly small, invisible to the naked eye, but they truly exist.

Because of their unique nature, they’re impossible to sense with Divine Intent.

These tiny Space Cracks are like extremely sharp swords. If one were to collide with them carelessly, they could be sliced to pieces.

Even if one cultivates their body to the extent of a tier eleven magic weapon, Xu Mu didn’t have any confidence that he could withstand the cutting of the Space Crack.

Even a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator might not be able to resist the power of space.

In the current state, cultivators entering the Xuan Yang Secret Realm could only grope their way forward, carefully avoiding these tiny cracks..

After repairing the Wind Dragon, Xu Mu quickly distanced himself from the crack, but the golden pheasant had already messily flown over.

Its gold feathers, like cold, oppressive metal, coupled with its cold, gleaming talons, fiercely attacked the Wind Dragon’s eyes.

Roar!

As the Wind Dragon quickly dodged, it opened its mouth, expelling countless Wind Blades towards the golden pheasant.

Against the onslaught of Wind Blades, the golden pheasant flapped its wings, a golden shield appearing and blocking the Wind Blades. However, it only held up for a couple of breaths before it was broken by the Wind Blades, resulting in the gushing Wind Blades making their mark on the pheasant’s body.

Squawk!

The golden pheasant let out a grief-stricken cry as it fell towards the ground, bathed in blood.

Xu Mu had the Wind Dragon halt its attack and fly towards the golden pheasant. The dragon caught the bird in its mouth and landed back on the ground. Xu Mu sprang out the Wind Dragon’s mouth to inspect the condition of the pheasant.

“The injury is severe; it’s nearly impossible to save it. But, it was able to block one of the Wind Dragon’s strikes. This pheasant’s bloodline is quite unusual!”

You must know that the Wind Dragon I summoned is comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage being. This golden pheasant, at best, is only a tier seven Monster Beast. It should’ve been crushed to bits.

“And this Monster Beast, could it not perceive the power difference between them? Knowing it could not fight, it still dared to court death.”

Even the lowest-grade Monster Beasts know to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. This one has reached tier seven, its intelligence shouldn’t be much less than a normal person.

He approached the golden pheasant, intending to inspect it carefully, but the dying bird still tried to attack him.

Xu Mu ignored it and moved in to apply the Soul Searching Technique, checking the pheasant’s memory.

From the pheasant’s memory, from the time it was born, it was all about finding food and fighting with other Monster Beasts. Judging from the previous memories, not only did it have a spiritual intellect, but it was also quite advanced.

However, not long ago, a sudden burst of golden light erupted from nowhere, and then its consciousness felt like it was hammered heavily, completely shattered and chaotic.

“Hiss!”

When he searched the memory about the golden light, Xu Mu felt like his brain was brutally punctured by a needle. The pain made him gasp involuntarily. He hastily stopped.

Xu Mu practiced a bit to recover, finally easing the sudden onslaught of pain.

“What exactly is going on with this golden light? Merely watching a memory segment can harm me!”

Xu Mu felt somewhat incredulous.

He lifted his head and gazed at the sky, where there was a golden sun emitting a faint glow.

“Could it be that the golden light originated from the sun? This is the first time I’ve seen such a pure golden sun!”

He hadn’t noticed when he first entered, but now after careful observation, he realized that this secret realm was drastically different from the regular ones. It contained everything from the outside world, essentially making it a standalone small universe.

Just having a sun was unheard of in other secret realms.

“Regardless of whether or not it’s the golden sun emitting this, I better keep my distance and leave as soon as I find the Xuan Yang Holy Water!”

Before entering the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, he was warned about its dangers. Now that he had experienced the mysterious golden light, his understanding of the dangers in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm escalated even further.

The Nascent Soul Stage was not invincible, there were many things here that could end his life.

He suspected that the reason no cultivator had survived in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm for over a hundred years was highly related to that burst of golden light.

And these monster beasts, their senses were completely obliterated and they attacked upon sight.

Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for cultivators to survive.

Luckily, he had no intention to take such a risk.

Xu Mu sealed the phoenix bird’s soul, taking both soul and body into the God Refining Tripod.

This phoenix bird was not only a tier seven beast, but also possessed a special bloodline. Xu Mu naturally wouldn’t discard such a treasure.

After all, there was ample space inside his God Refining Tripod, even a thousand beasts would fit.

The beasts in the outside world were all quite sly, especially the high tier ones. Even with Xu Mu’s abilities, hunting one was no easy task.

“Just hunting beasts alone is already a huge profit for the forces that come here! It’s just that not many people see it as valuable!”

The three major forces didn’t lack these materials from beasts. Furthermore, although these beasts were senseless, killing them wasn’t easy. If they were surrounded, it would likely end up being a loss.

Xu Mu spread his Divine Intent around, and had already sensed a large number of beasts converging toward him.

It appeared that the previous fight had attracted them here.

Although beast materials were precious, Xu Mu still had things to do so he could only abandon it for now, and rode on a wind dragon to continue tracking the Feng Que’s location.

However, before leaving, he first approached the spot of the space fissure.

Before his eyes, the void was empty. Xu Mu fired a fireball into it, which was immediately and silently cut in half and caused a violent explosion in the air.

With Xu Mu’s current abilities, even a skill condensed casually carried a strong attack power, of course, he wasn’t testing the power of his skill, but wanted to determine the exact location of the fissure.

He used a few other methods and finally confirmed that there was a space fissure about ten feet long right here. The gap was narrower than a hair and even with Xu Mu’s eyesight, he could barely make out a trace after confirming the location. As for his Divine Intent, it couldn’t sense it at all, as if they were completely insulated from each other.

“I wonder if this will work!”

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to touch the location of the space fissure.
