Chapter 748: Chapter 416 The Final Step of the Marrow Cleansing Realm_2

“If Elder Chen plans to assimilate his gains, then it is only right for me to act as Elder Chen’s protector for a while,”

After Fang Yuan had thought it through, he quickly made up his mind.

He had almost gathered all the Xunmu Spirit Liquid he needed; joining up with other forces within the Xunmu Cave Heaven posed equally great risks. It might be better to continue following Chen Mu all the way. After all, the forces gathering in that area would be embroiled in a big battle with the Spirit People Race, so he and Chen Mu would not face any further threats or disturbances, ensuring a peaceful passage through the coming month.

“That’s fine.”

Chen Mu nodded slightly to Fang Yuan.

He was also calculating the time. Advancing the Qiankun Martial Body from Perfection to Extreme Tempering was a bigger change than the previous smaller steps, likely taking not a short amount of time, perhaps around a month. To avoid missing the Void Tide and the chance to leave the Xunmu Cave Heaven, it was better to start sooner rather than later.

Although being trapped in the Xunmu Cave Heaven wasn’t a dead end for him, as once he had tempered his Martial Body to its limits, no one in the Xunmu Cave Heaven could harm him, even if the entire Spirit People Race came at him, he would not fear. Being trapped for a hundred years until the next Void Tide when the Cave Heaven opens wouldn’t be an issue; after all, his lifespan far exceeded that of ordinary people.

But the problem was that his lifespan was long, while the others were not.

Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue…

Those close to him, even if they could enter the Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm in the future, would approach the limits of their lifespans after a long hundred years, and if they could not reach the Marrow Cleansing Realm, by the time he came out, everything would have changed.
