Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 485: Chapter 452 Old Friend_1

Squawk!

An azure bird with wings spanning over a dozen feet soared at breakneck speed from among the clouds, faint luminescent sparks emitting from its body, leaving behind a long azure tail in the sky like a meteor breaking the horizon, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Sitting on the back of this extraordinary bird were a young man and a woman. They looked to be around fifteen to sixteen years old, yet they possessed an outstanding temperament, resembling immortals from the heavens.

This young pair were none other than Xu Mu and Yue, who were en route to the Martial God Abyss in the center of the continent.

“Elder Brother Mu, will we be in danger by going there directly? What if there’s an ambush?” Yue asked, worrying.

It was likely that the Empress was the Martial God. If she was prepared in advance, she could possibly harm them.

Thinking about Xu Mu’s reaction to the portrait, Yue’s heart felt a bit sour.

Even if that woman was extremely beautiful, she shouldn’t have captured his attention just by a portrait, right?

Yue believed she was by no means inferior, and her rapid progress in strength recently had completely transformed her temperament, far surpassing that of ordinary women.

During these days, when she went out to collect resources, countless people willingly submitted to her, wishing they could follow her forever.

Some even rated her as the most beautiful woman and top female expert in the continent, and future female Martial God…

In short, she had numerous prestigious titles, too many to count.

This made her feel that no one in this world was worthy of her Elder Brother Mu, except for her.

But now, this mysterious Empress had captured Elder Brother Mu’s heart with just a portrait, causing him to drop everything and rush to see her.

This made Yue, who had secretly liked Xu Mu, feel very upset.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now, she was waiting to see what this woman looked like and where she fell short in comparison.

“Don’t worry.”

Xu Mu spoke lightly.

Unless that person was out of her mind, she wouldn’t harm him.

Seeing Xu Mu so confident, Yue felt even more upset.

“If Elder Brother Mu says so, there must be no problem! If she dares to harm Brother Mu, I will absolutely not spare her!” Yue asserted fiercely.

Xu Mu seemed to understand her thoughts, he turned back and smiled, but said nothing.

The speed of the divine beast at the Martial Emperor level was extremely fast. Soon, they saw a gigantic, bottomless gully that seemed to lead to the underworld.

It was the Martial God Abyss, said to have been created by a peerless Martial God when he slayed a variant Martial Emperor.

As the tale passed down with time, it came to be known as the Martial God Abyss.

“We’re here. Let’s go down,” Xu Mu said as he spotted a figure standing atop a cliff from afar. The figure’s silhouette seemed vaguely familiar to him.

“Alright.”

Yue nodded, commanded the Wind Spirit Hawk they were riding a bit reluctantly, and flew towards the figure.

As they approached, the figure became increasingly clear to Yue.

Her hair flowed down like a waterfall to her waist. Her tall and slender figure was even more alluring under the black armor. An enormous bronze halberd, about a meter long, was planted in the ground, emanating a faint whiff of murderous intent.

Next to her, a Pegasus with pure white fur and wings was quietly nibbling on the grass.

Before the Wind Spirit Hawk could even settle down, Xu Mu jumped down in a hurry. Yue, too, followed eagerly.

“Lu Jingkong, it’s been many years. I trust you have been well,” Xu Mu greeted with a smile. However, his gaze was on the halberd in front of the woman.

It was his long-lost Sky-splitting Halberd!

Xu Mu had never expected that the Sky-splitting Halberd would end up in her hands.

“I didn’t expect you to be here, either.”

The woman turned around, revealing a spiritedly stunning face.

It was none other than Lu Jingkong, the top Loose Cultivator in the Offshore Blood Demon City, who had a deep relationship with Xu Mu.

It had been almost forty years since they had parted ways in the Offshore Blood Demon City.

They had agreed to explore the Xuan Yang Secret Realm together ten years later. However, Xu Mu was unexpectedly trapped in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm for over thirty years, then inexplicably ended up in this small world.

They thought they would never meet again in this life, but they ran into each other in this small world.

“Elder Brother Mu, do you two know each other?” Yue asked, somewhat surprised.

From their conversation, it was easy to deduce that they had known each other in the past, and their relationship seemed close.

But Yue was slightly doubtful. How could this highly respected Empress know Xu Mu? If they knew each other from before, why didn’t she look for him?

“Yes. She is my senior, and a good friend of mine.” Xu Mu explained with a smile.

“Nice to meet you, sister!” Yue turned her head a bit awkwardly and greeted.

“Indeed, a fickle man. You’ve only been here for a while, and you’ve already ensnared a little girl.” Lu Jingkong jested, seeming in good spirits.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign place was worth celebrating.

“It’s just a matter of fate,” was all Xu Mu said in response.

He was eager to ask Lu Jingkong about her situation rather than thoroughly explaining his relationship with Yue.

“Lu Jingkong, how did you end up here?”

“I should be asking you that. You didn’t enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm with me, so how did you end up here? Is there another entrance here?” Lu Jingkong countered.

“Xuan Yang Secret Realm?”

Xu Mu was a bit confused.

The Xuan Yang Secret Realm was thousands of miles away from the Xuan Yang Secret Realm. How could they have ended up in the same place?

“Didn’t you come from the Xuan Yang Secret Realm?” Lu Jingkong asked, noticing Xu Mu’s confusion.

“I came from the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.”

With a bitter smile, Xu Mu recounted his experience.

“What?!!!”

After hearing Xu Mu’s story, Lu Jingkong was quite shocked.

She had never expected that, separated by thousands of miles, they would end up in the same place.

Or perhaps there was some connection between the two secret realms.

However, it was obvious that this was not something the two of them could investigate.

“Since you’ve been here for so long, have you found out how to leave? And, how did you end up here?” Xu Mu asked.

“Although I came in a few decades before you, I didn’t collect any useful information. As for how I ended up here, it naturally has to do with the Xuan Yang Secret Realm,” Lu Jingkong answered.

Lu Jingkong recounted her experience in detail.

After she and Xu Mu parted ways, she had found a place to close the doors and practice, recovering her cultivation.

When the time came, she arrived at the agreed place, but Xu Mu never showed up.

Later, she even made a trip to the Cangming Sea Territory, but she still couldn’t find any news about Xu Mu.

Since the secret realm had a time restriction, and she didn’t want to waste this opportunity, she entered alone.

As for why she ended up in this small space, it had to do with the secret realm and the martial method she practiced.

Turns out, deep in the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, there was a hidden treasure.
