Time pa.s.sed bit by bit.
Li Mu stayed in Xuantian Sect for another eight years.
Three years ago, Li Pinlin and Li Yu’an climbed the tower again. After climbing the tower, their cultivation levels directly broke through. In the next two years, the two of them broke through to the sixth level of the Human Realm.
As a large number of disciples above the Virtual Realm of the Xuantian Sect entered the Land of Demon Slayers.
Those empty spots were given to disciples below the Virtual Realm.
Asa Perfected Person, he naturally obtained more spots.
Then, a year ago, the two brothers climbed the tower again. Then, half a year ago, they climbed the tower again.
Every time they climbed the tower, the two brothers would gain something, and their cultivation would slowly increase.
After glancing at the two brothers, Li Mu’s figure appeared outside the Imperial City of the State of Great Xia.
He stared at the Li family for a long time.
“This kind of life in my previous life is also enviable! Unfortunately, I have a hard life! If I can’t reach the Immortal Realm, I won’t be able to protect your peace.”
It had been half a month.
After visiting the Li family, Li Mu appeared above the royal palace of the State of Great Xia.
He then stared at the Liu family.
“If the Phoenix Clan hadn’t left this world, perhaps no master would have discovered the connection between the two worlds for hundreds of thousands of years. I don’t have much time left. I have to have the ability to protect you before the Phoenix Clan reacts.”
A month later, Li Mu returned to the Xuantian Sect.
Everyone who needed to see had seen it.
At this moment, Li Pinlin and Li Yu’an climbed the tower again.
Compared to disciples below the Perfected Person realm, disciples at the Perfected Person realm had too many chances to climb the tower.
No matter what, Perfected Persons were still inner sect disciples. Below Perfected Persons were outer sect disciples and a small number of handymen. There were much fewer arrangements for these people to enter the tower.
When Li Mu returned, he found that two disciples of the Xuantian Sect had already obtained the high-level method that he had left in the Land of Demon Slayers.
“It’s a pity that the rules and resources of this world’s Heavenly Dao are not enough for them to reach the middle stage of the Heaven Enlightenment Realm. Otherwise, I would feel less burdened if a few late-stage Heaven Enlightenment Realm experts could appear!”
Now, they could only hope that the Phoenix Clan’s experts would not reveal the situation of this world.
‘When he appeared in front of the vortex again, Li Mu adjusted the formation under the vortex and then entered it.
After a while, Li Mu appeared in a mountain stream.
“I wonder where he was thrown this time!”
Coming out of the mountain stream, his divine consciousness swept around. It was still an endless sea of trees and endless mountains.
Unlike the Green Mist Mountain that appeared last time, the mountains here were messy. The mountain range was in a mess, and it was impossible to tell the layout of the mountain range.
The mountain was full of beasts.
But it posed no threat to Li Mu.
The beasts that could threaten the human experts were all in the Demon Region. That was where the Demon Clan ruled.
Since he couldn’t find the direction of the mountain range, he would find the current.
After returning to the mountain stream, Li Mu followed the river down.
After a few rivers merged, they formed a big river. When they merged with another big river, a wide plain appeared.
The two rivers divided the plains into three parts, and in the center of each plain was a huge city.
There were towns all around.
Further back was the village where people came and went.
“Where am I?”
Li Mu carefully recalled the map he had looked through previously, but he did not find anything similar.
This place was too easy to recognize. He had seen it on the map before.
Li Mu spread out his divine consciousness and secretly eavesdropped on the conversations of the people around him. Then, he was even more confused.
“Where is this? What Su Family, Lei Family, Yun Family…”
The three cities belonged to three different clans, and their names were Su City, Lei City, and Cloud City.
The three cities were established.
After flipping through the map in his mind three or four times, he still couldn’t find a place like this.
However, he had found many of the three clans with the same surname. They were either a clan in a large city or a top clan ina large sect.
“Could it be some hidden clan?”
Forget it!
It was useless to be curious about this. It was better for the process to ask where this was and then find the location of the Ascension Sect.
Li Mu tidied himself up and disguised himself as the villagers around the city as he walked towards the city.
He checked in silently along the way.
However, the system did not respond.
‘When they approached the city, the system rang.
“Congratulations to host Su Cheng for successfully checking in. You are rewarded with a portion of undead water.”
Nonsense!
Li Mu couldn’t help but curse in his heart.
Didn’t he know that this was Su City?
The problem was, where the f*ck was this place?
Like many villagers who had entered the city, Li Mu carried a basket on his back. The basket was covered with a rag, and it was unknown what was inside.
Li Mu walked into the city without being noticed.
Yu Shen Sect.
The fifth-grade sect at the foot of the Qingwu Mountain Range.
Although he was not famous, his strength could not be underestimated.
There were also Void Realm cultivators in the sect.
However, the outside world only knew that the strongest person in the sect was only at the initial stage of the Semi-G.o.d Realm.
“Yuhua Sect has actually reached into our territory.”
On this day, the sect master of the Imperial Clan received a piece of information and smashed the jade slip.
Any sect would bully them.
Was the life of a small sect so miserable?
“Theard that it’s to investigate the background of a disciple called Li Mu. Now that the Yuhua Sect is powerful, we should avoid them!”
The intelligence elder at the side arrived.
“Humph! Does the Yuhua Sect think that they can do whatever they want just because a Heaven Enlightenment expert has appeared?”
“Sect Master, that’s not all. In the past few decades, the overall strength of the Ascension Sect has also increased a lot. That’s why they have the courage to investigate again. In the past, they would never extend their hands into our territory to investigate the background of a missing disciple.”
The intelligence elder said.
In order to investigate an outer sect disciple, offending a fifth-grade sect was not worth it for a fourth-grade sect.
However, not only was the Yuhua Sect now a third-grade sect, but it also had the strength of a second-grade sect.
More importantly, the Feather Clan was tens of millions of miles away from the Imperial Clan. If they offended them, so be it.
“They are investigating the background of this Li Mu?”
“We don’t know either. We investigated once decades ago. At that time, the Yuhua Sect didn’t have enough energy. Now, the re-investigation is probably to sort out the traitors in the sect. As far as I know, the spies above the inner sect of the Yuhua Sect partic.i.p.ated in the rebellion back then. It can be said
that they were all wiped out. The Yuhua Sect suffered such a huge loss this time. It’s understandable for them to investigate the outer sect disciples.”
Ina courtyard in Ancient Ming City.
The leader of the guards knelt in the center of the courtyard.
“Sir, I’ve said everything that needs to be said. It’s all the family’s idea to use them to attract the mountain bandits…”
The guard captain kept kowtowing.
“How did he survive?”
“I don’t know. I saw him when I came to Ancient Ming City. I wanted to find a chance to kill him, but…”
“What’s wrong?”
“He suddenly disappeared.”
“What did he do before he disappeared?”
“Lbought two maps. I sent people to search the entire city, but I couldn’t find him…”
The disciples of the Xuantian Sect looked at each other.
“We can be sure that this Li Mu is skilled. From the situation of the Qing Ling Mountain bandits, this person’s cultivation is at least at the Virtual Realm.”
“Why wasn’t the Virtual Realm master detected when he entered the Yuhua Sect?”
“Let’s go to the Qingwu Mountain Range to take a look first. I want to know which mountain village he is from. If he is not from any village, this person is a prime suspect.”
“But he’s already missing! The completion of the investigation won’t be of much use to us!”
“Are you stupid? The more suspicious people we find, the more points we will have. We can enter the core and take a look at the top cultivation method. On the path of cultivation, every step is slow.”
