Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

After Xiao He and Xiao Lü left one after another, Mu An's ties with the world became increasingly thin. Apart from Mu Ling'er, he never truly cared about anyone else.

In the long span of more than three hundred years, Mu An only accepted Li Yin as his nominal disciple.

Mu An's acceptance of Li Yin as a disciple was not out of emotional need, but rather a transaction of mutual benefit.

Just when Mu An needed to train a few students, Li Yin happened to appear in front of him.

Li Yin's existence provides Mu An with coordinates to another world, and Li Yin herself has quite remarkable talent, making her worth nurturing.

Whether as a guide or as a pioneer exploring the future of craftsmanship, they can play a significant role.

In comparison, Xuanyuan Wumu's value is much lower.

Over the past month, Mu An has gotten what she wanted.

The Spirit Realm contains all the life-extending items that might be useful to Mu Ling'er, as well as its more complete cultivation system.

Having achieved most of his purpose in coming to this realm, the Spirit Blossom Realm, which had long since become part of the Demon Abyss, was no longer of any use to Mu An.

Even so, Mu An still agreed to Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's request, because he had promised more than a month ago that he would give Xuan Yuan Wu Mu a great fortune.

The so-called great fortune could be becoming the emperor of the Taiyuan Empire, possessing a treasure comparable to immortals and gods, improving one's cultivation level, or even obtaining a ticket to escape the Zhanling Realm.

I only ask to be a disciple in name only, serving my seniors.

Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's words can be interpreted as him wanting to learn from Mu An, or as him wanting to escape the quagmire of the Spirit Blooming Realm and gain a chance to escape the Nine Nether Demon Abyss.

Since it was a promise already made, Mu An would certainly not go back on his word.

As for what achievements Xuan Yuan Wu Mu will make after arriving in the Nine Domains, and what he wants to do in the future, that is all up to Xuan Yuan Wu Mu himself.

Besides these straightforward reasons, there was another thought that flashed through Mu An's mind unintentionally.

What Mu An saw and heard in the Spirit Blossom Realm also gave him some new ideas.

The Nine Realms have stagnated for far too long and need some fresh blood. Compared to those from technological civilizations, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu, who comes from the Immortal Dao civilization, may bring more interesting changes.

……

After Mu An agreed, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Becoming Mu An's disciple was the best outcome Xuan Yuan Wu Mu had carefully considered.

To Xuan Yuan Wu Mu, Mu An was a complete stranger. Even though the two had been traveling together for more than a month, he still didn't know what kind of person Mu An was.

Not to mention learning more about Mu'an's world and her beliefs.

He also had no idea what the other world was like, or what would happen after he went there.

Becoming an apprentice shouldn't be such a casual matter, but right now this is his only chance.

All of these factors made it difficult for Xuan Yuan Wu Mu to make a decision easily.

Moreover, his past experiences made it impossible for Xuan Yuan Wu Mu to easily sever ties with everything in the Blooming Spirit Realm. Even knowing that the Blooming Spirit Realm had been swallowed up by the Demon Abyss, and even knowing that they had lost their future, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu still hoped to change everything.

The Spirit Realm is the world he lives in, the home he has lived in for seventeen years, so how can he give it up so easily?

At the same time, when he truly understood that everything was irreversible and that everyone would eventually die, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu also felt a deep fear.

Facing death is never an easy thing.

Xuan Yuan Wu Mu had to admit that he was afraid.

He is only seventeen years old this year. He has the qualities of a genius and a bright future.

Over the past decade or so, although he has experienced some setbacks, he has mostly been surrounded by tranquility and happiness.

He wanted to live, to meet more people, to experience more things, and to live his own life.

But while wanting to live, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu also felt a deep sense of guilt.

He was a member of the royal family of the Taiyuan Empire, born into a life of unparalleled wealth and honor. From childhood, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu was taught to take on his own responsibilities and the responsibilities of the imperial family.

In his life, running away was an option that should never have existed.

As the ninth prince of the Taiyuan Empire, he could not and should not abandon his people and live a life of ignominy.

Dying on the battlefield is the glory of the empire and the noble destiny of the royal family.

Walking on the streets of Taiyuan City, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu thought about many things, and the figures of one person after another came into his mind.

An expressionless father, an annoying older brother, a mother who loves him very much, and hundreds of loyal subordinates...

The fear of the Demon Abyss, the fear of death, and the guilt over everything in the past intertwined, making it impossible for Xuan Yuan Wu Mu to make up his mind.

He told himself over and over again that he had tried his best, that he had done everything he could, and he prayed more than once that the senior could help them...

but……

Fear is fear. The moment he had the thought of running away, he had already lost his courage.

On his last night in the Spirit Realm, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu discovered that he really was just a coward, and that death was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Because he kept telling himself that.

There's no point in staying. Rather than perish with the Spirit Blossom Realm, it's better to escape to another world and one day avenge the entire Spirit Blossom Realm.

It makes perfect sense and leaves no room for criticism, since only by surviving can one have the possibility of taking revenge on the Abyss.

But Xuan Yuan Wu Mu also knew that this was just a high-sounding excuse.

The Abyss is so powerful, what can he do even if he escapes to another world?

Even at the end of his life, he could not complete this revenge.

Such words are merely a way to comfort oneself.

The streets were bustling with people, and the lights of Taiyuan City were as vibrant as I remembered.

Xuanyuan Wumu stood in the middle of the street, surrounded by a lively crowd, with smiling faces everywhere he looked.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu suddenly remembered that today was the Harvest Festival in their Taiyuan City. On this day, the streets would be filled with all kinds of lanterns, and everyone would celebrate the arrival of the harvest together.

People walked in groups, newlyweds cuddled together, children made noise, and the streets were bustling with people, with light and shadow intertwining in the sky above the city.

Amidst such a lively atmosphere, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu felt an indescribable sense of alienation, as if he did not belong to this world.

Under the dim lights, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu finally made up his mind.

He has to survive!
