Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

It was pitch black, extremely dark. An extreme darkness appeared before Mu Yu's eyes, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

For cultivators, darkness is not something to fear, but here, not only can one's divine sense not leave the body, but even using the Bright and Clear Spiritual Eyes, one cannot see very far.

As a result, the dark and silent environment naturally brings a sense of fear from the unknown.

In fact, Mu Yu knew roughly what was going to happen.

But this feeling of unease will not disappear when Mu Yu learns about it; instead, it will turn into another kind of fear, a kind of doubt about the variables.

"That's interesting..."

That faint sense of fear did not make Mu Yu panic; on the contrary, she was somewhat eager to try.

Some people run away when faced with fear, some panic, and some become cowardly.

Mu Yu, on the other hand, is the kind of person who feels curiosity when faced with fear.

As Mu Yu walked forward with an unperturbed expression, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Little Fish, has it been you who came back to see us?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu slowed his pace and gradually came to a stop.

Turning around with a composed expression, Mu Yu calmly said:

"I am now 154 years old. Even if you are real, a mortal's lifespan should have been exhausted long ago."

"Therefore, you must be the figure that appears in this illusion based on my memory."

"Do you want to use the kindness this world has shown me to make me feel guilty?"

"Unfortunately, I was born with a mindset, and I believe that I have never wronged my family since I began cultivating immortality."

Hearing Mu Yu's emotionless voice, the two aged figures were already in tears.

"No debt, no debt..."

"It is our Mu family that has mistreated you."

"To be able to see you again after death, I am already content with my life."

Upon hearing this, even Mu Yu, with his current composure, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

At this moment, he even began to doubt whether this so-called wondrous illusion truly possessed the power to summon the souls of the dead mortals.

Of course, that wavering only lasted for a moment, and Mu Yu never relaxed her mind.

"Now that you're satisfied, then disappear."

"To be honest, even though I know it's fake, I'm still reluctant to take action. If you can just disappear on your own, that would be even better."

"Speaking of which, could you please change your image? I clearly feel more indebted to those two figures from my past life."

Mu Yu maintained his calm tone, as if he were chatting with the restrictions within this wondrous illusion.

If it were the celestial realm, the restrictions of this wondrous illusion might possess some intelligence, but in the mortal realm, such a situation is highly unlikely.

"Little Fish, what are you saying...?"

"I……"

With a flash of azure sword light, the two familiar yet unfamiliar figures screamed and gradually vanished...

"I told you a long time ago that my real name is not Mu Yu."

"I simply chose to live with this name."

"Did you not know about this, or... did you do it on purpose?"

Mu Yu remained expressionless. Although he wasn't heartbroken, he couldn't help but turn his head away the moment he made his move.

The marks left on him by his mere ten-odd years of life seemed to be heavier than he had imagined.

"A wondrous illusion... Hah, laughable!"

There was a fleeting hint of disappointment in Mu Yu's voice.

He had thought this wonderful illusion would bring him more pressure, but he didn't expect it to be only this much.

Mu Yu continued walking in the darkness, hoping that this wondrous illusion would bring him even greater pressure.

……

A day later, Mu Yu left the wondrous illusion with some disappointment.

After passing through the teleportation array, what came into Mu Yu's view was a towering giant tower building. If one did not look closely, one might mistake it for some kind of mountain peak, like the sacred mountain of Tianxing City.

However, this giant tower was entirely built by human cultivators. It appears to have five stories and is constructed entirely of blue boulders.

Those cultivators standing at the foot of this tower may appear insignificant from a distance, like ants, but in reality, they are among the most powerful beings in the Chaotic Star Sea.

"You seniors at the Nascent Soul stage, you're moving quite quickly."

"However, this so-called wonderful illusion is actually quite disappointing."

"I originally thought this thing would give me more experience in dealing with inner demons, but when I actually saw it, I realized it was just some crude illusions."

Mu Yu walked over with a normal expression and started chatting with them very familiarly, as if the confrontation they had faced earlier had never happened.

"Fellow Daoist Mu is joking. The Heart Demon Tribulation in the Nascent Soul stage is something that would make even us turn pale at the mere mention of it. Although the Wonderful Illusion is indeed wonderful, how can it be compared to the Heart Demon Tribulation?"

Qingyi Jushi remained the same kind-hearted person, while the attitudes of the other Nascent Soul cultivators towards Mu Yushi also underwent some subtle changes.

Qingyi Jushi remained the same kind-hearted person, while the attitudes of the other Nascent Soul cultivators towards Mu Yushi also underwent some subtle changes.

"One, two, three... Hmm, all the Nascent Soul stage seniors should have arrived. Now that everyone is here, what do you all think of the agreement we discussed earlier?"

"Don't worry, I only want that magic weapon, I don't want anything else."

As Mu Yu spoke, he rummaged through his storage bag and found a jade box covered with various restrictive talismans. He then used magic to open it, revealing the Immortal-Slaying Pearl.

"You can take this as a threat, or you can take it as a sign of my sincerity."

"After all, I am only at the late stage of Core Formation. If I were to be ambushed by the seniors at the Nascent Soul stage, it would be quite a headache."

Mu Yu spoke slowly, but in his heart he hoped that these Nascent Soul stage old monsters would have broad knowledge and not be unable to recognize something like the Immortal Extinction Pearl.

When Mu Yu took the jade box out of her storage bag, the spiritual senses of these Nascent Soul stage old monsters had already reached out.

But even after Mu Yu completely removed the restrictive talisman from the Immortal Extinction Pearl, he still didn't hear the sound he wanted to hear.

This scene left Mu Yu feeling somewhat helpless.

But just as he was about to try a different approach, Wan Tianming suddenly spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Mu... could this be the legendary Immortal-Slaying Pearl?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, thank goodness. At least someone recognizes it. I was really worried that none of you seniors would recognize this item."

"But seniors, there's no need to worry too much. I only have one of these items."

"At the same time, although this item is said to be usable by ordinary people, its blast radius is extremely large."

"If a cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage uses this, there is no way to escape; the result will inevitably be mutual destruction."

"Therefore, I am not willing to risk my life unless absolutely necessary."

Mu Yu's voice once again plunged the Nascent Soul stage monsters present into a brief silence.

But behind the scenes, the transmission speed of these Nascent Soul stage monsters was so fast it was almost sparks flying.

With Mu Yu's divine sense, which had reached the Nascent Soul stage, although he couldn't eavesdrop on the conversations between these Nascent Soul stage monsters, he could still detect some of their secrets.

The intense fluctuations in spiritual consciousness offered no concealment whatsoever; they were almost equivalent to a battle of spiritual consciousness.

After a while, the Nascent Soul stage monsters present finished their conversation.

"Ahem, we old folks have discussed it and decided to do it your way."

"It's just a magical artifact we don't need; there's no need to become your enemy."

It was still Qingyi Jushi who was chosen to speak, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators looked at Mu Yu with more apprehension.

"That's good then..."

Mu Yu spoke, then affixed the restriction talismans one by one to the Immortal Extinction Pearl and placed it into the jade box.

The moment Mu Yu closed the jade box, his figure suddenly froze, and then he vanished as a faint phantom.

The next moment, Tian Wuzi appeared where Mu Yu had been standing, looking somewhat bewildered.

Clearly, Tian Wuzi hadn't considered that Mu Yu could dodge before he made his move.

"Senior Tengoko, it seems... you don't quite agree with my previous suggestion."

Along with Mu Yu's words came a streak of azure light, its speed pushed to the limit...

"Sword energy transforms into threads!"

"Flying Needle Magic Weapon~!"

Two voices rang out simultaneously, their tones filled with shock and disbelief.
