Chapter 404: Chapter 373: Tier Ten Skill_1

Initially, Xu Mu had given Feng Que a jade token, supposedly for communication, but in reality, to determine her location.

Feng Que was Feng Luan’s older sister, and naturally, he could not stand by and let anything happen to her.

This opportunity of Xuan Yang Secret Realm only opens once in a century in Cang Ming Ocean Territory. As the leader of the three major powers, the Cluster Stars Sect would definitely send people in to search for treasures, and Feng Que, as a cannon fodder cultivator, would most likely be included in the party.

Xu Mu intended to use this opportunity to save her, thus fulfilling Feng Luan’s longstanding wish.

The reason he did not take action outside was that the Cluster Stars Sect had placed too many measures on Feng Que. If he took her away, he could easily be tracked.

Now in a sealed secret realm, with various forces fighting and the situation chaotic, he has a lot less to worry about. The antagonist probably wouldn’t waste time tracking him for a counterfeit Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Condense!”

Xu Mu squeezed the Finger Jue, the wind spiritual power in the void converged and condensed into a lifelike cyan dragon with full scales and claws. Cultivators with shallow cultivation would probably think it’s a real spirit dragon.

This was actually the Wind Dragon Summoning Skill displayed by Xu Mu, an elemental creature made up of wind spiritual power and possessing low-level spirituality.

Xu Mu had cultivated this skill to a transcendent level. The wind dragon he condensed could entangle a common Nascent Soul in its early stage for a while.

During these years spent in the earth’s fire vein, Xu Mu did more than just enhance his Vajra body.

The improvement of Vajra body basically did not consume his energy. As long as he stayed in the earth’s fire vein, his body strength would continue to increase. Hence, he had plenty of time to enhance his other skills.

Among them, the most important one was his skill, because only this could enhance his power and countermeasures against the enemy in a short time.

The only regret is that, under his current circumstances, he could not collect any profound skills. He only had some common, run-of-the-mill skills, such as elemental summoning skills used to create spiritual power puppets with a lot of Mana.

If it weren’t for Xu Mu’s transcendence, it wouldn’t be useful in fighting against the same tier.

Besides, there was also the God Strength Skill: greatly enhancing the cultivator’s strength!

Soul Extinguish Skill: condenses a divine intent weapon, directly attacking the opponent’s soul!

Corpse Exploitation Skill: brings corpses back to life, retaining some of their capabilities from when they were alive!

Spirit Shield: uses various spiritual powers to condense a shield to resist attacks (Xu Mu used this when resisting Yun Mengyao)!

Spirit Prison Skill: transforms spiritual power into a cage, trapping enemies within!

God Lock Skill: leaves a spiritual mark on the target, which can reach as far as tens of millions of miles away!

Wood Man Skill: uses hundred-year-old ancient trees as the base, summons a combat puppet with initial spiritual intelligence (the stronger the spirit of the used tree, the stronger the summoned tree man’s ability and spiritual intelligence)!

Ice Demon Skill: uses the profound ice as the base, summons an ice demon puppet with initial spiritual intelligence (the stronger the spirit of the profound ice used, the stronger the summoned ice demon’s ability and spiritual intelligence)!

While these skills seem powerful, in reality, very few Nascent Soul cultivators practice them. Even if they do, they only scratch the surface and do not delve deep into their research unless they have special needs.

Experienced cultivators rarely use such a thing during combat, it’s usually used to bully low-tier cultivators. The most common usage is during battle, exploiting it alongside others for a joint attack. After all, although magical items are powerful and convenient, they always have some degree of consumption. Using them over a long period of time is akin to burning them up, especially when attacking certain formations, where the consumption is even greater. This is when using skills is more economic.

A situation like Xu Mu, who improved a tier ten basic skill to the Transcendent level, basically doesn’t exist in the Nascent Soul Stage.

Also, a situation like Xu Mu, where many basic skills are cultivated, is quite rare.

This involves a difficult problem of cultivation attributes. The higher the cultivation, the purer the Spiritual Power attribute in the body. Naturally, there is an advantage when cultivating the same attribute skill and Divine Skills. However, when cultivating other attribute skills and Divine Skills, it can be quite tough.

Therefore, even if cultivating basic skills, only skills of the same attribute would be cultivated. The others wouldn’t be painfully trained for nothing in return.

In this aspect, Xu Mu gains a huge advantage by virtue of the characteristics of the Ancestral Nascent Soul. Although he doesn’t have high-tier skills to cultivate, he can still fully utilize the advantages of attributes to exert far superior spell power at this level.

The Ancestral Nascent Soul, acclaimed as the legendary Nascent Soul, naturally wouldn’t be so simple. In these years, Xu Mu’s studies have found that not only can he extraordinarily cast the Five Elements skills, but also foreign skills without reducing power, such as ice, thunder, and wind.

In addition, he can cultivate and cast skills of special attributes, like corpse qi, blood qi, etc. This is why Xu Mu can execute skills like Corpse Exploitation, soul calling, etc.

Perhaps it’s because he has mastered these special skills that his summoning spells are more spiritual than ordinary cultivators. After all, Corpse Cultivators and Soul Cultivators are experts in this field. The other party, however, cannot perform summoning skills of the elemental system, nor are they bothered to study such spells, as they have better combat means such as refining corpses, ghosts, etc.

It’s precisely for this reason that Xu Mu found special insights from numerous basic skills combined.

In the battle with Yun Mengyao just now, he could have killed her using these basic skills if he wanted to.

Just that, it would consume too much Spiritual Power and time, making room for accidents, which is why he chose to give up.

The abnormality in his skills made Xu Mu more and more aware of the huge potential of the Ancestral Nascent Soul.

Roar!

After successfully forming the Wind Dragon, it opened its large mouth and directly swallowed Xu Mu, then headed in the direction of Feng Que as Xu Mu instructed.

The reason he didn’t use his true body to fly by Escape Light wasn’t to intentionally slow down, but because of the numerous dangers in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm. With his strength, he didn’t dare to act recklessly, lest he lose his life due to carelessness.

Now with the Wind Dragon spell protecting him, at least in the periphery of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, there won’t be any major dangers.

While other people rely on cannon fodder to scout the road, Xu Mu depends on the life of his spells to do so. It’s undoubtedly much easier, with the only disadvantage being that it consumes too much Spiritual Power. Even with Xu Mu’s immense Spiritual Power reserve, he needs to save as much as possible. Apart from this, Xu Mu also took the top-quality Qi Merging Pill he refined to restore Spiritual Power to avoid an emergency.

The reason other powers use cannon fodder and don’t cast spells is that casting spells will lower their condition and disadvantage them in dealing with sudden situations.

Compared to the safety of the Nascent Soul Stage, it’s worth losing hundreds of cultivators with fake pills.

After all, with resources, as many false pill cultivators can be obtained as you want, but Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are one in ten thousand. No matter how much resources are thrown in, cultivating them is difficult.

Perhaps Nascent Soul Stage cultivators can be achieved with resources, but even the Cluster Stars Sect probably can’t afford such a cost.

Compared to that, using cultivators with fake pills is more cost-effective, especially in exploring the secret realm, where it’s rare to encounter losses.

While Xu Mu was on his way, silently restoring Spiritual Power, a bird radiating golden light, hooted and charged towards his Wind Dragon spell. Simultaneously, half of the Wind Dragon’s body was silently cut open.fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
