Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 370: Earth Fire Stone

The outer periphery of the Earth Fire Vein, with its magma rivers capable of melting gold and iron, had no harmful effect on Xu Mu, just like an ordinary person taking a hot bath. It couldn't cause any damage to his body.

Since it couldn't harm his body, it naturally couldn't trigger the True Body of Ten Thousand Calamities.

After adapting to the environment for a while, Xu Mu continued to dive deeper into the Earth Fire Vein.

Both the Earth Fire Vein and the Spiritual Stone Vein belonged to the Spiritual Vein category, but compared to the Spiritual Stone Vein that could be directly absorbed and utilized, the Earth Fire Vein had a much narrower range of use. Only fire spiritual cultivators or alchemists and artifact refiners would make use of it.

However, because the Earth Fire Vein contained fire poison and was usually hidden deep underground, it was troublesome to use, resulting in fewer people using it.

Someone like Xu Mu, who directly delved deep into the underground and approached the Earth Fire Vein, was not something an ordinary Foundation Building Stage cultivator could do.

"I wonder how big this Earth Fire Vein is and whether it can meet my needs!"

Just like the Spiritual Vein, the Earth Fire Vein also had different sizes, and if it was a small-sized Spiritual Vein, it probably wouldn't cause much damage even if one reached the deepest part.

The deeper one went, the higher the temperature within the Earth Fire Vein became. Gradually, one could no longer see the melted rocks, only flowing red flames.

At this location, the Earth Fire Vein had already reached the point where it could easily melt spiritual ore. Even if it was the early stage of the Gold Core realm and one used a Law Treasure, it probably wouldn't last long.

At this point, Xu Mu finally felt some pressure and his skin felt slightly hot.

Of course, the reason why he reacted so quickly was not because Xu Mu's Body Refining technique was inadequate, but because he hadn't activated his cultivation technique to resist it.

The power of activating the technique and not activating it differed by tenfold.

After descending several thousand meters, the temperature within the Earth Fire Vein had reached the point where it could melt even ten thousand-year-old mysterious iron. Even if it was the late stage of the Gold Core realm, it wouldn't be able to withstand it.

At this point, Xu Mu was basically certain that this Earth Fire Vein was a medium-sized one.

He felt a little disappointed, but it was within reason.

The difference between large and medium-sized veins was huge. If there were large Earth Fire Veins nearby, Suxin Island probably wouldn't be so peaceful.

However, for Xu Mu at the moment, a medium-sized Earth Fire Vein was enough. He would first master the True Body of Ten Thousand Calamities and then look for a stronger Earth Fire Vein in the future.

By reaching this position, Xu Mu could no longer be as relaxed as before. At this moment, he was like an ordinary person soaking in water at seventy to eighty degrees Celsius, his skin turning red as if he was being cooked. Especially for his fragile areas like his eyes, the damage was even greater.

If not countered and treated in time, it could potentially cause serious harm to his body.

Xu Mu made an effort to suppress the impulse of his spiritual energy within his body to resist, and began to activate the technique of the True Body of Ten Thousand Calamities.

In his originally scorching and painful body, a cool stream immediately appeared, appearing in the corresponding area.

And when it appeared in that area again, it would become stronger when facing the high temperature of the Earth Fire.

This cool energy became more and more abundant, gradually converging into a stream that spread throughout his body. The higher the external temperature and the greater the destructive power, the more cool energy would appear in that area.

And the more cool energy there was, the faster his physical strength would increase.

Xu Mu didn't know how this mysterious cool energy was born. Based on his perception, he could only know that it surged out from the deepest part of his flesh and blood.

It was as if there was an unknown spatial channel inside, continuously delivering energy outward. The more severe the external destruction, the more mysterious energy overflowed from within, until both reached a balance.

This was also the reason why the more severe the external destruction, the faster his physical body would grow.

"So this is what the technique refers to as the Realm of the Unmanifested. It truly is amazing!" Xu Mu exclaimed in his heart.

According to the introduction of the cultivation method, the space connected by the cultivation method is the Boundless Realm, one of the thirty-six realms in the Spirit Body series of the divine realm.

Each of these realms has various mysterious functions, which are extremely different from the cultivation of the Immortal Physique series.

Xu Mu did not stay and had to go deeper.

Because his True Body of Calamity had not reached its limit yet.

When he was about to reach the core, there was a place where even the early stage of Nascent Soul had to resist desperately. Only then did he stop. At this point, the internal and external reached a balance. If he continued to go deeper, the energy of the Boundless Realm would not be able to supply him.

"It seems that the realm of the True Body of Calamity represents the size of the gap in the Boundless Realm. The higher the realm of the cultivation method, the larger the gap, and the faster the recovery. Conversely, the opposite is true."

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, consumed a million points of Luck, and raised the True Body of Calamity to another level.

Buzz!

The mysterious energy that was almost unable to resist indeed increased significantly.

"It's quite easy to cultivate like this. I don't need to do anything, just lie down here."

Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh at the cultivation method of the True Body of Calamity.

For the next period of time, he did nothing. Every time his physical strength increased, he took a step forward, allowing the entry of the mysterious energy to reach its peak.

...

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

Xu Mu sat cross-legged in the core area of the Earth Fire Vein, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was meditating and cultivating.

The high temperature around him was enough to melt star iron, but it seemed to be nonexistent.

In front of him, a faintly glowing orange stone floated quietly, constantly emitting bursts of scorching hot air, causing the entire Earth Fire Vein to surge.

This stone was the core of the Earth Fire Vein. If Xu Mu were to take it away, the entire Earth Fire Vein would soon extinguish and become ordinary underground rocks.

Naturally, Xu Mu would not do such a foolish thing. Although the Earth Fire Stone was precious, it was unnecessary for him at the moment.

After three years of tempering, Xu Mu's physical strength had reached the level of the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. Ordinary Rank Ten or Rank Eleven Law Treasures couldn't even break his skin.

The only downside was that the True Body of Calamity did not possess Divine Abilities, so in battle, he could only rely on strength and speed, which put him at a disadvantage.

In other words, without using his combat methods, he could only contend with those in the early stage of Nascent Soul with his physical body at most.

The good thing was that with the terrifying defense of the True Body of Calamity, even those in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul couldn't kill him.

If the opponent didn't know the effect of the True Body of Calamity and launched an attack on him, it would only make him stronger.

"It's about time. I should go early to avoid missing the time!"

Xu Mu opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

The time he mentioned naturally referred to the time to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

Mo Wu Xin had long inquired about the approximate opening time of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm from within the Four Seas Immortal Palace. Because the time was not fixed, in order to avoid missing it and to be prepared in advance, Xu Mu decided to set off early.

He turned into a streak of light, left the Earth Fire Vein, and arrived at the Su Xin Palace to meet up with Ming Ling Chun. After informing Mo Wu Xin, he headed towards the direction of the spatial crack.

Because he had never come into contact with the Xuan Yang Holy Water before and to avoid any unexpected situations, he brought Ming Ling Chun and Xu Tianpu, who had been staying in the Soul Refining Cauldron.
