Chapter 1059 - Mysterious Pa.s.sage
As Li Mu and the others entered the white jade gate, the scene before his eyes quickly began to change. In the end, the group of seven arrived inside a bizarre golden world.
This golden world looked extremely vast, similar to the Blood Heaven Realm that Li Mu had seen before. With just a single glance, he could not see the end of it, but what was different with Blood Heaven Realm was that this independent s.p.a.ce was entirely gold, and the source of this gold, was precisely the nine golden b.a.l.l.s of light in the sky that were as bright and dazzling as the sun."There are actually nine golden suns. Could it be that the Nine Stars Buddha Domain was jointly created by the nine great buddhist saints in the past of Nine Stars Temple, so there are nine golden suns?"
The moment Li Mu and the rest entered the Nine Stars Buddha Domain, the nine b.a.l.l.s of golden light in the sky were noticed by the crowd.
"Perhaps it is, but all of this has nothing to do with us. What we need to do is to quickly find the dragon essence, the Triple Headed Demon Dragon must have already died after so many years, and as far as I know, it was sealed in a place called Dragon-trap in the Nine Stars Buddha Domain back then."
"Time is limited. I suggest that everyone split up and move out. Once there is news, it"s better to send out messages using the jade talismans!"
Monk Kong seemed to have no interest in the nine golden suns in the sky. He directly got to the point."Good, this Nine Stars Buddha Domain was created by the nine great buddha sage together, the s.p.a.ce inside must be huge, I also suggest we act separately, this way we can save time, everyone move separately, remember to send the jade token!"
Following Li Mu"s words, the Void Monk and the others naturally did not have any objections. Soon after, the Void Monk and the other two left first, searching from three different directions.
After the three of them left, Tan Shanshi, Hua Yun and the rest looked at Li Mu at the same time, and frowned.
"Everyone, don"t make it so obvious, just remember the telepathic transmission that I gave you. I believe that before we find the Dragon Yuan, he will not do anything. But once we find the Dragon Yuan, it will be hard to say!"
Li Mu secretly sent a sound transmission to Tan Shanshi and the others, and then, he looked towards the group of white jade gate s that had appeared out of thin air behind him. With a wave of his hand, thousands of black armored G.o.d Slaughtering Insects flew out from his sleeves and scattered on the ground below the white jade gate.
Tan Shanshi and Hua Yun did not seem to be surprised by Li Mu"s actions. The two of them cupped their fists towards Li Mu and Xiao Ya, and then looked towards a direction together.
"Xiao Ya, let"s go too. Dragon Yuan is a good thing, once we get it, we can save ourselves years of hard training."After Tan Shanshi and Hua Yun left, Li Mu spoke to Xiao Ya. The two of them turned into two beams of light and flew in a direction that no one was looking for.
"Brother Li, do you have any proof? That Emptiness Monk, I look pretty normal. I would believe you if you said that Emptiness Monk had a problem, but now it"s Empty Monk. I don"t dare to believe it."Flying in the air with Li Mu, Xiao Ya secretly said to himself while looking around.
"I really don"t have any substantial evidence regarding the Emptiness Monk. However, I can be 100% sure that there"s something wrong with him. He"s not the same as before. You have to believe me completely!"
Li Mu saw that Xiao Ya did not believe him, and spoke with seriousness."A hundred percent sure? This... Brother Li, did you notice it at the beginning, or did you only notice it afterwards? Or did this Void Monk have a problem at the beginning, or did something happen while he was on his way? "
Seeing Li Mu being so serious, Xiao Ya continued to ask.
"There was no problem with him in the beginning. It was because when we left the Blessed Buddha Temple, we separated to look for the Nine Stars Pavilion."
Li Mu didn"t hold back anything against Xiao Ya, and directly replied."That"s not right. In that case, the Emptiness Monk and the others should have problems too. The three of them are together, how can there be a problem with just one of them?" Also, what"s wrong with him? If he isn"t him anymore, then who could he be? "
Xiao Ya raised a few questions consecutively, obviously because she was very serious about Li Mu"s words.
"Although the three of them are together, none of us can guarantee that they didn"t split up midway. According to my senses, there is an extremely pure demonic energy in his body, it is the Zhen Mo Qi of the True Demons, it should be related to the Illusory Yin Demon Sage that we met on the way here!"The reason why he discovered all of this, was because of the green spirit"s warning from inside the Nine Stars Pavilion. Otherwise, Li Mu would not have been able to detect that there was a problem with the Monk Kong Zhen.
Following Qing Ling"s reminder, Li Mu immediately thought of the special connection she had with him earlier, as well as the sudden disconnection of the G.o.d Slaughtering Insects he had released halfway. With the connection, Li Mu knew how serious the problem was.
"Illusory Yin Demon Sage? It"s him again. What should we do? Brother Li, you and I are very clear on how powerful that demon is. I"m afraid with our current strength, we are not his match. "
The moment Xiao Ya heard that it was related to the Illusory Yin Demon Sage, she immediately became a little fearful. She had also fought with the Illusory Yin Demon Sage before and knew how powerful his Sky-demon fire and his almost immortal body were."At the beginning, I had the same concerns as you, since the strength of the Fantasy Yin Demon Sage is too strong, but you forgot, I am already a true True King Stage expert and my cultivation has a breakthrough. I want to fight with him again, even if I can"t beat him, I should be able to escape safely."
"Also, think about it, if you were Illusory Yin Demon Sage, under the situation where the Nine Stars Buddha Domain"s gate has already been opened, if you had absolute confidence, would you still keep us here?"
"The reason why he did not attack us is certainly because he feared us as well. Since he fears us, to us, it is undoubtedly a type of protection. It means that he does not have absolute confidence in being able to eat us."
Li Mu was not as pessimistic as Xiao Ya. Smiling, he comforted Xiao Ya and patted the spirit beast bag on her waist. Then, he released quite a few G.o.d Slaughtering Bugs and scattered them in all directions.
After releasing the numerous G.o.d Slaughtering Insects, Li Mu had basically gained countless eyes to help him search for the so called Dragon-trap.
Xiao Ya had long gotten used to Li Mu"s habit of summoning her G.o.d Slaughtering Worms. With so many G.o.d Slaughtering Worms scouting the path for his, she actually felt a lot more at ease.
Although the s.p.a.ce within the Nine Stars Buddha Domain was not small, on the way here, aside from the plants on the ground, Li Mu and Xiao Ya had basically not seen any living beings. Even the plants on the ground were all trees of the same species, and were also commonly seen in the buddhist faith, the Bodhi tree.
"It"s very strange, this isolated s.p.a.ce has such a large area, why didn"t the people from the Nine Stars Temple raise some spirit beasts here? This is completely different from the Blood Heaven Realm."
After Xiao Ya flew for a long time without seeing any living beings, she asked Li Mu with a strange tone."That"s easy to understand. Firstly, there is a True Dragon trapped in the Nine Stars Buddha Domain. Think about it, with the dragon"s might emitted by the True Dragon, what kind of demon beast would dare to survive in this place? I"m afraid I would be scared to death!"
"Secondly, this Nine Stars Temple is a buddhist sect, they emphasize equality between all beings. Because of this, buddhist disciples rarely raise spirit beasts, and even if they did, they would at most raise a buddhist spirit beast."
"You told his Nine Stars Temple to raise a large number of demon beasts within the Nine Stars Buddha Domain, this is simply impossible, because it conflicts with their commandments."
Li Mu explained to Xiao Ya, but just at that moment, he suddenly frowned, and waved at Xiao Ya, and the two of them landed on the ground.
After landing on the ground, Li Mu seemed to have sensed something, and turned seven and eight corners to arrive in front of a cave on a low stone mountain. At this moment, in front of the cave, there was a G.o.d Slaughtering Bug that was circling and dancing in front of it.
Li Mu communicated with the G.o.d Slaughtering Bug for a moment, then waved his hand, ordering the G.o.d Slaughtering Bug in front of him to spread its wings and fly in another direction.
"There"s something wrong with this cave, Xiao Ya, be careful!"Li Mu looked at the cave in front of him, spoke to Xiao Ya who was beside him, then took a step forward, and walked towards the cave entrance.
The cave entrance was not that big, only a few meters wide. It did not look like it was man-made, but rather natural.
As soon as Li Mu and his group entered the cave, they immediately realized that the s.p.a.ce inside the cave wasn"t very big, its length and width wasn"t even ten meters, and there was nothing inside the cave. There was only a few meter large cave at the end of the cave, which seemed to lead to the underground.Li Mu and Xiao Ya who were near the cave opened their eyes wide. Below the cave, there were layers of golden stairs, and the direction of the stairs was downwards. It was obvious that this was the secret pa.s.sage to a certain place.
"Interesting, the people from Nine Stars Temple set up such a secret place, I think it must be something extraordinary, but I feel like something is missing."
Li Mu looked at the underground tunnel in front of him and could not help but mutter. He used his Spiritual Sense and a Deicide worm flew out from the cave entrance."What"s missing? There"s nothing here anyways, Brother Li. What do you mean by something less? "
Xiao Ya looked around, not really understanding what Li Mu meant.
"Missing something is missing something … Oh... This place is missing the protection and concealment of the restrictive spell. If my guess is correct, this cave should be protected by the protective spell. It"s impossible for us to find it so easily.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Mu suddenly realized something and said.
"That makes sense. This place was constructed so secretively. If it was me, I would have definitely set up a concealing array formation and defensive formation to guard this place well!"
Xiao Ya also felt that Li Mu"s words made some sense, and his interest towards this place grew even more.
"Brother Li, do you think it"s possible that the end of this pa.s.sage is the so-called Dragon-trap?"
Seeing that Li Mu did not have the intention to enter the underground pa.s.sage before the G.o.d Slaughtering Bug came back, Xiao Ya was bored out of his mind as he tried to guess what Li Mu was up to.
"It"s not impossible, but the possibility is not high. This place is too small, so it"s not suitable to trap a Triple Headed Demon Dragon that has pa.s.sed the tribulation. You have to know, the body of a dragon is very big.
Li Mu shook his head, disagreeing with Xiao Ya"s guess. And just at this moment, the G.o.d Slaughtering Worm that Li Mu ordered entered the tunnel finally returned. Li Mu communicated with it for a while, then let out a sigh of relief."There is another world down there. However, there is no danger. It seems like there are some benefits. Let"s go take a look!"
After Li Mu gathered some information about the pa.s.sage from the G.o.d Slayer Insect, he told Xiao Ya about it and the two of them headed directly into the pa.s.sage.
The tunnel was not dark, because the stairs were all golden in color. They emanated a faint golden light, illuminating the entire tunnel.
After making seven or eight turns, Li Mu and Xiao Ya arrived at a gigantic underground cave. When they saw the situation inside the underground cave, Xiao Ya immediately screamed out …
