Chapter 4461 - 4461 Ku Mu
4461 Ku Mu
“The Divine Tree of Life in Ku Mu’s body was obtained by his father in the past. At that time, his father helped him place the tree in his Little World. A large part of his strength comes from that powerful Divine Tree of Life,” Han Wang continued to say.
Duan Ling Tian nodded in understanding. Ku Mu was powerful, but his father was even more powerful. His father also managed to obtain a World Supreme Powerhouse’s Divine Tree of Life after the World Supreme Powerhouse’s death. That kind of Divine Tree of Life was undoubtedly a peerless treasure.
Those capable of killing World Supreme Powerhouses were naturally World Supreme Powerhouses themselves. Under normal circumstances, the murderer would seize the dead World Supreme Powerhouse’s Divine Tree of Life, unless the dead World Supreme Powerhouse managed to send his Divine Tree of Life to the turbulent space before his death.
Although the Divine Tree of Life of a World Supreme Powerhouse was not comparable to a World Supreme Powerhouse, its strength was naturally extraordinary. Let alone finding such a Divine Tree of Life, even if one managed to find it, it would be difficult to convince it to acknowledge one as its master. Since Yuan He, Ku Mu’s father, managed to obtain and Ku Mu managed to obtain its approval, it could be seen that the duo had extraordinary means as well.
‘Senior Han Wang wants me to spar with the descendant of such a powerhouse?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, feeling slightly helpless. At the same time, he decided that he would hold back slightly when sparring with the other party even if he was stronger. He might not know the other party, but there was no doubt that the other party’s background was extraordinary. It was best not to offend such a person.
At this time, Han Wang swept his gaze around the paradise-like valley in the midst of a land of snow before he called out, “Brother Ku Mu, I’m here!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In just a moment, there were movements in the valley. Countless vines flew out and entangled in the air before it finally turned into a figure. The figure belonged to a skinny old man dressed in a loose gray robe. He was so thin that it seemed as though a gust of wind could blow him away. However, his eyes were sharp, unlike those of an old man.
The old man laughed and said, “Brother Yu Qing, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Previously, you told me that you found a prodigy below the age of 10,000 who can help me educate my incompetent great-great-grandson. Is he the young man next to you?”
The old man shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian after he finished speaking.
Duan Ling Tian froze before his body began to tremble from the paralyzing fear that crept up on him. He felt as though his life and death were out of his control at this moment. Just like that, he could tell how terrifying the old man was.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and mobilized his Divine Energy, law of space, and Sword Dao before he resisted and destroyed the pressure bearing down on him. Then, he said, “Greetings, Senior Ku Mu. I’m Li Feng.”
Ku Mu, the old man, widened his eyes imperceptibly as he thought to himself, shocked, ‘Although his law of space has yet to reach its perfect form, his Sword Dao is really shocking…’
Ku Mu had heard about Duan Ling Tian’s ability from Han Wang, whose real name was Han Yu Qing. Although he had heard about how powerful Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao was, seeing it for himself was naturally different from just hearing about it. Indeed, the Sword Dao was just as powerful as Han Wang had claimed. It was at least a level higher than his father’s Devouring Dao, als one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.
‘It’s really unbelievable that a young man who’s not even 10,000 years old manages to comprehend the Sword Dao to this extent…’
When Ku Mu returned to his senses, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said with a smile on his face, “Young man, I heard about how extraordinary you were from Brother Yu Qing. I thought he was exaggerating at that time. However, after meeting you, I realized now that he wasn’t exaggerating. You’re indeed stronger than my great-great-grandson.”
Then, Ku Mu sighed before he asked, “Li Feng, to have such achievements at such a young age, you must have an extraordinary background. Where did you come from?”
Duan Ling Tian stuck to his story and said, “Senior Ku Mu, I from the Myriad Worlds.”
Duan Ling Tian did not further explain, and Ku Mu also did not ask any more questions. Ku Mu could tell that Duan Ling Tian did not intend to reveal which World he came from. He speculated inwardly, ‘Perhaps, he’s worried about enemies from his World targeting him in the Outer Boundary…’
Ku Mu did not find this suspicious. After all, many people from the Myriad Worlds were killed after coming to the Outer Boundary by their enemies since they were no longer under the protection of their respective forces in the Outer Boundary. Despite the danger, people still came to the Outer Boundary. After all, they would not be able to improve if they only stayed in the Myriad Worlds. Moreover, only those who were able to overcome great danger would be able to rise to the peak and become supreme powerhouses.
At this time, Hu Fei Yan, the Deputy Commander of the Colossal Heaven Army, stepped forward and greeted Ku Mu. “Greetings, Senior Ku Mu. We’ve not met for many years, but you still looked as energetic as before…”
Ku Mu turned to look at Hu Fei Yan and said with a smile, “I was so distracted by Li Feng earlier that I forgot about you. I heard Brother Yu Qing say that your godfather allowed you to go to the Three Great Sacred Realms. I almost couldn’t believe it when I first heard about it. It seems like he finally thought things through…”
Hu Fei Yan looked at Ku Mu curiously and asked, “Senior Ku Mu, what do you mean by ‘he’s finally thought things through’?”
Upon hearing these words, Ku Mu’s expression changed slightly before he glanced at Han Wang. Then, he shook his head and replied, “I just meant that he finally decided to allow you to go to the Three Great Sacred Realms. In the past, he must have been worried that you weren’t strong enough to protect yourself in the Three Great Sacred Realm. If you were to go there rashly, you’d be in danger. Now that you’re almost as strong as a peerless top advanced Supreme God, you’re better equipped to protect yourself there.”
Ku Mu clearly did not want to continue on this topic as he turned to Han Wang and said, “Brother Yu Qing, all of you should rest here first. My great-great-grandson will only return in about two months…”
Following that, Ku Mu made arrangements for them to stay in the valley.
…
Over the next two months, Ku Mu, being a considerate host, did not let them wait in vain and gave them advice regarding their cultivation.
Although Ku Mu comprehended the law of wood, he possessed the Divine Tree of Life of a World Supreme Powerhouse after all, and his father was an imminent World Supreme Powerhouse. He was naturally unlike others and was very knowledgeable. Duan Ling Tian and Hu Fei Yan both benefited greatly from him during the two months they stayed in the valley.
Thanks to Duan Ling Tian, even Tan Xiu Teng was given the opportunity to ask for advice about cultivation from Ku Mu. Ku Mu was also patient for Duan Ling Tian’s sake and answered his question. He was naturally overjoyed by the opportunity, and he was filled with gratitude when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again.
Previously, Tan Xiu Teng’s loyalty to Duan Ling Tian came from the Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath. However, he now felt that it was not a bad thing to follow Duan Ling Tian. What he had gained in the past two months exceeded his thousand years of hard work. Moreover, his life was not at risk at all during the two months. Usually, to gain something, one would have to face danger.
…
“Li Feng, Brother Ku Mu’s descendant is back.”
Duan Ling Tian was resting in his room when he heard Han Wang’s voice that bypassed his noise-canceling Formation. With this, he was once again reminded of how powerful supreme powerhouses were.
‘With my strength now, it’ll be easy for a supreme powerhouse to kill me. It won’t be any harder than cutting grass or killing a chicken…’
Duan Ling Tian felt slightly helpless, but he grew even more determined to grow stronger.
‘It’s time to fight…’
Duan Ling Tian naturally knew that now that Ku Mu’s great-great-grandson had returned, he would have to spar with the other party soon.
