Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 316 Preparation
Mu Mu couldn't understand Yi Dong's thoughts at all and tried to persuade him, but to no avail.

All I can say is:

"I haven't located the coordinates of the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm yet."

"I can locate you; just follow the starlight channel I've opened to find your position."

Initially, Yi Dong's starlight teleportation could only use the Great Awakening Puppet and the Karma Puppet as coordinates. However, after he integrated the Divine Power Seed into a Yellow Heaven Spiritual Treasure that was in the process of gestation, he was able to use his bloodline as the coordinates of the starlight channel.

Of course, the starlight teleportation he activated takes time, unlike Mu Mu's starlight teleportation which allows instant arrival. In other words, for cross-dimensional teleportation, it's best to use Mu Mu's supernatural powers.

Seeing that Yi Dong didn't want to say much, Mu Mu said directly:
"If we move to the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, what will happen to the Yi family and the Primordial Purple Apricot?"

"Don't bring any members of the Yi family. The world of the True Dragon Clan in the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm is insurmountable. No matter how many cultivators you bring, you still can't defeat the True Dragon Clan."

Moreover, cultivators might leak our information.

However, instead of cultivators, you can bring ordinary people from Jinshan City.

As for the Primordial Purple Apricot, it can go if it wants, or it can choose not to go and rescue it.

Mu Mu nodded.
"I will go to Puji Immortal Island now to complete the transaction with those Buddhist cultivators and teleport them to the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm."

Mu Mu left after she finished speaking.

Soon, Mu Mu arrived at Tai Chu Zi Xing and explained the situation to her.

"Leaving the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm temporarily was the right thing to do, or rather, leaving only now is beyond my expectations."

"Oh, what's going on?"

"It's because your supernatural power allows you to teleport across realms."

You should know that to enter the spirit world or the mortal world, you generally need to establish an ascension passage. Opening an ascension passage requires extremely strict conditions, but your supernatural powers are even more powerful than an ascension passage.

To put it simply, if you were captured by the forces of the Celestial Realm, they could easily invade other worlds using your supernatural powers. If they could easily invade other worlds with your powers, even a Celestial Kingdom might be defeated.

"If that's the case, why didn't you say anything when I led my people to the Mountain and Sea Spirit Realm?"

Mu Mu understood that it was because she led the Yi family members to the Mountain and Sea Spirit Realm that the Immortal Kingdom knew about her supernatural abilities.

Thinking of this, Mu Mu felt a little guilty. She didn't understand why Yi Dong suddenly wanted to leave, but she didn't expect that the reason was actually caused by her supernatural powers.

Seeing Mu Mu like this, Tai Chu Zi Xing changed her mind and said:
"Actually, you don't have to leave if you don't want to."

Ultimately, the situation is that Yi Dong is incapable of protecting you.

If you can find a powerful force to protect you, such as a meritorious family in the Immortal Kingdom, you can change your current situation.

Mu Mu frowned as she looked at Tai Chu Zi Xing.

Are you testing me?

"Let's not conduct similar tests. I'm not stupid. If I leave Yi Dong, my personal freedom might not be guaranteed, and I might become a tool for the Immortal Kingdom to invade other worlds."

"Is that really what you think?"
Once you go to other worlds, your cultivation efficiency won't be as high as it is in the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm.

For lower-level beings, most worlds are no different, but for you, who is about to become a Golden Core cultivator, going to the Vast Sea Spirit Realm will have a certain impact on your cultivation.

Mu Mu understood the meaning of Tai Chu Zi Xing.

A spirit born from a world is related to the beings that live in that world.

In the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, the number of true dragons may not be large, but their influence on the world is the greatest among all living beings. In other words, most of the spiritual creatures born in the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm are suitable for the true dragon race.

Although the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm was not transformed by the Immortal Kingdom into a world perfectly suited to Jinxiu, Jinxiu has cultivated many spiritual plants suitable for him using arrays and other methods.

Most cultivators today possess celestial spiritual roots, and even those who don't are spiritual beings. Before reaching the Great Dao Golden Core stage, their need for elixirs is not high.

However, once you reach the Golden Core stage, you need various spiritual objects to cultivate efficiently, not to mention the array formations you need to cultivate now and the various magical artifacts and components produced by immortal kingdoms and academies required to build a Nascent Soul cultivation ground.

In general, even with spirit stones, one's cultivation efficiency will be greatly affected after going to the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm.

However, having spent a considerable amount of time with Taichu Zixing, Mumu knew that there must be a deeper meaning behind the other's question, so she replied:
"Just tell me what you want to do."

"The blessed land of Yanshan has complete modern cultivation facilities. My ability to manufacture immortal gold warships is not simply because I have researched immortal gold, but because I have a complete spiritual energy technology production line."

As for spiritual herbs and elixirs, I can also supply them. I have five-colored soil and breath soil, which are sufficient to cultivate and supply the high-level spiritual herbs needed for the Great Dao Golden Core.

"I can supply you with anything you need. I only need a little bit—a little bit of Golden Core essence, Yi Dong's Golden Core essence."

Mu Mu suddenly realized why Tai Chu Zi Xing had been encouraging her to leave the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

In the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm, Yi Dong basically doesn't need the Primordial Purple Apricot.

The Primordial Purple Apricot can manufacture warships. Apart from the Immortal Gold Warship, the Great Awakening Puppet can basically manufacture all other warships.

Aside from warships, Yi Dong has no need for Tai Chu Zi Xing in any other aspect.

Clearly, the importance of the Primordial Purple Apricot will only increase after leaving the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm.

Only in this way could Yi Dong possibly give it some of the essence of the Golden Core.

"No wonder you haven't been able to advance to the sixth rank. It turns out you need Yi Dong's Golden Core essence."

At this point, Mu Mu pondered for a moment and said:

"In my opinion, Yi Dong doesn't really value you."

With your current knowledge, removing the bloodline and soul fragments Yi Dong left in you shouldn't be a problem. If you're worried that Yi Dong might harm you, I can tell him to make you my destined object, and then he won't do anything to you.

If you become my natal object, you can do whatever you want in the future. Not to mention the Golden Core Origin, if I can become a Great Dao Nascent Soul, I can even give you the Nascent Soul Origin.

"That's a good suggestion, isn't it?"

The Primordial Purple Apricot remained silent, becoming her natal object; it was not so easy to get rid of it.

If one's natal object could freely change owners, then within the Immortal Kingdom, people would have long been plundering other people's natal objects.

When Taichu Zixing was born, its soul contained the aura of Yi Dong.

If everything about Yi Dong were completely washed away, the Primordial Purple Apricot itself might not be damaged, but its intelligence would certainly be affected.

Mu Mu felt a pang of regret upon seeing Tai Chu Zi Xing's silence.

The Primordial Purple Apricot, which Yi Dong disregarded, was, in her eyes, an indispensable asset.

Then, thinking of Tai Chu Zi Xing's request, Mu Mu frowned.

If it were anything else, even Yi Dong's treasures or the True Spirit Longsword, Mu Mu might be able to persuade Yi Dong to give it up.

However, she had no confidence whatsoever that she could persuade Yi Dong to willingly give up the Golden Core essence.

Moreover, the Primordial Purple Apricot's condition was that Yi Dong would provide the Golden Core Origin without harming it.

If it were brought up casually, and it made the suspicious Yi Dong overthink things, he might try to get rid of Tai Chu Zi Xing.

"There's no rush regarding the Golden Core origin. In my opinion, it's impossible for Yi Dong to advance to the Great Dao Golden Core without more than a thousand years."

I will help you when the time is right.

"Oh, right, we can't let Yi Dong know about this before he advances to the Golden Core stage."

After quickly ending her conversation with Tai Chu Zi Xing, Mu Mu swiftly used starlight teleportation to arrive in Qinghai.

She was teleported directly to Puji Fairy Island.

Puji Fairy Island is filled with Buddhist temples.

The light emanating from the Buddhist temples intertwined in the air, enveloping the entire Puji Fairy Island.

Not long after Mu Mu appeared, Dorje, dressed in a kasaya and wearing a compassionate smile, appeared before her.

"Enough with the unnecessary words, I'm leaving the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm today."

If you have prepared the resources, I will open a passage to the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm for you now. If you are not prepared, then this matter will be dropped.

Doro's eyes flickered, and seeing Mu Mu's expression, he knew she wasn't joking. He said:
"Okay, I'll bring you the resources now. Come with me."

Mu Mu was not afraid of these Buddhist cultivators ambushing her, and immediately followed Duo Luo to escape.

Soon, she followed Doraemon to the mountain range in the center of Puji Fairy Island.

Between these mountains, countless temples gleamed in gold and jade, and auspicious clouds drifted by, truly resembling the legendary Western Buddhist paradise of the celestial realm.

Before Mu Mu could take a closer look, she saw several old monks coming to greet her.

After handing several storage bracelets to Duoluo, the old monks left without ever glancing at Mumu.

Mu Mu couldn't help but glance at these people again.

It wasn't that they looked strange, but rather that these individuals were all at the Bodhisattva level, equivalent to the Returning to Emptiness realm.

The Buddhist cultivators are already so powerful; no wonder they also want to leave the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm.

Suddenly, Mu Mu noticed the buildings nestled among the mountain peaks, and her gaze shifted.

That's the building for the ascension passage; it seems these Buddhist practitioners aren't entirely relying on themselves.

Duoluo handed the storage bracelet to Mumu.

After examining it, Mu Mu nodded slightly, then opened a huge starlight vortex.

"The other side of this vortex is the territory occupied by the Immortal Kingdom. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have much preparation."

Mu Mu had already instructed Yi Ze to leave several starlight positioning artifacts in the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm.

"It doesn't matter."

"Okay, if there are no unexpected events, this starlight tunnel will last for half a day."

If anything unexpected happens, I'll come back. Right now, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now.

Doro nodded, and after watching Mu Mu leave, he turned to look at the starlight vortex.

Before long, a Buddha sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne appeared next to Tara; it was the Lotus Puppet.

Doro looked at the Baolian puppet.
"Buddha Kassapa, what should we do now?"

“My Dharma body has been searching for other worlds in the void, but has not found any.”

They had hoped to use the nine-headed dragon to find other worlds, but now they couldn't track it down anymore.

"In that case, let's move to the Northern Mountain Spirit Realm."
