Chapter 450 Secret Land of Magical Power
“What’s Li Mu’s plan?”
Of course, he was going to kill these people.
It was just that Zhao Jing might be a bit more aggressive.
However, this was the only way.
After the reply, Qing Feng probably knew the battle strength of the initial stage of the Soldier Realm under the suppression of the Grand Supreme Devil-subduing Formation. It was clear that if they fought directly, they would have little chance to win, so they could only… make a secret attack.
Just as Li Mu, Guo Yuqing, Yuan Hu, and Ming Yue, the most powerful people, once again shamelessly disguised themselves as indigenous slaves of the four sons of the Hun Yuan Sect, who, suppressed by Li Mu, were bitterly preparing for “betrayal” to launch a sneak attack against the elder of theirs, finally, Zhao Jing, Limitless Mixed Spirit, flew more than 10 meters above the ground, making a rainbow come from the distance.
As a powerful elder from the outer-s.p.a.ce sect, under the suppression of the Grand Supreme Devil-subduing Formation, he was still able to fly close to the ground, who would not run wildly on the ground like the others before, which was a sign of his strength and his realm.
Li Mu and the others were quite anxious.
However, what happened next confused them.
Zhao Jing flew to the front of the crowd. Before the crowd could start their “performance”, he fell down from 10 meters high in the air, making a big hole in the ground.
What was going on?
It was beyond everyone’s expectation that the Soldier Realm Elder would appear in this way. Wasn’t this too unique?
“Elder Zhao.” The unibrowed man and the others rushed over in a hurry.
At the same time, Li Mu followed behind them cautiously.
To everyone’s surprise, the legendary Elder at the initial stage of the Soldier Realm, one of the top five experts of the Hun Yuan Sect, fell to the ground with one arm missing. He was seriously injured and his breath was weaker.
“The Hun Yuan Sect is finished…” Zhao Jing dizzily opened his eyes and saw the four people. His turbid eyes brightened with a trace of light and then sadness. He said, “The Hun Yuan Sect has collapsed. All dead. All of them are dead… I made use of the formation that I prepared earlier in advance to escape…”
“What?”
“Elder, make it clear. What’s going on?”
“Junior Master Zhao, are all dead?”
The four sons of Hun Yuan Sect looked anxious as they helped Zhao Jing get up, healed his wounds, and injected natural qi into his body. The information from Zhao Jing’s mouth shocked and upset them.
The Hun Yuan Sect was besieged by several old enemy sects in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy, and there were also traitors. Within one day, the whole Hun Yuan Sect was completely destroyed, and Zhao Jing ran out alone, who was also seriously injured. He forced himself to take a breath to support himself to successfully arrive here, and found the four people in the Tomb of the G.o.d of Sin.
“Now you are the last disciples of the Hun Yuan Sect, so you must take revenge and revitalize… our sect… This… this is the immortal-seeking map. Take it…” Zhao Jing was so seriously injured that he had no chance to live. He spoke intermittently and stuffed an oval jade token into the hand of the hawk-nosed man. With the last strength of his life, he warned, “Find… find the immortal to seek shelter and successors. You… are… the last… last hope of the Hun Yuan Sect.”
After that, he died.
Li Mu was watching from the side. He did not expect that such a thing would happen.
The elder of Hun Yuan Sect died just like that.
And then they got the immortal-seeking map just like that.
He was quite astonished.
It was impossible for a fierce battle.
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
The hook-nosed man and three others buried Zhao Jing’s body in the Tomb of the G.o.d of Sin, which could be regarded as a treasured place for geomancy. After all, it was a place for G.o.ds to be buried.
“Master, the map is here.” The hook-nosed man sadly presented the oval jade plate to Li Mu.
There was nothing they could do about it.
After the collapse of the Hun Yuan Sect, the four had become homeless. Without any confidence to kill the enemies, they seemed to not have a better choice than to continue to be Li Mu’s servants.
After reading the information stored in the oval jade badge, Li Mu was very clear about the so-called Immortal-seeking Map.
“Let’s go. We have to go back to the Five Villages Temple.”
The hook-nosed man and the others only knew that it was Place for Slaughtering Devils around the Five Villages Temple and there were divine fruits there, which were actually part of the information on the Immortal-seeking Map. The sects had taught the early-coming disciples in order to fight for the divine fruits in the Five Villages Temple.
As for the true value of ginseng, perhaps the disciples did not know. They just knew that this kind of magic fruit was very important and they were only fighting for it under orders. Even if someone ate the magic fruit, his flesh and blood could still be used. This was the reason why all the successors of the previous sects had planned to separate the bodies of Ming Yue and the others.
In fact, on the complete Immortal-seeking Map, the ginseng fruit tree was a symbol to lead to the entrance to the Path of Immortality.
Therefore, he had to return to the Five Villages Temple as soon as possible.
In fact, Li Mu had guessed this before, so he observed the whole Five Villages Temple with his Third Eye. However, he did not find anything, and then he left. Now he had to turn back.
After a while…
Li Mu and the others went back to the ginseng fruit tree in the backyard of the Five Villages Temple.
He met no one else along the way.
Li Mu led the crowd to the fruit tree and urged the oval jade badge into spraying several beams of light from inside, which shone on a certain node on the fruit tree. Then, something wonderful happened. Several jade-green glittering leaves fell and stuck on their foreheads. With a flash of brilliance, they disappeared from the place.
“What is this place?”
Li Mu and the others only felt dizzy. When they could see clearly, they found that they were already in a strange world.
The ground seemed to be made of stone. The ditches were intertwined with each other. The strange roads, which might be hundreds of meters wide or tens of thousands of meters wide, were in a round shape and extended forward in the direction of the gullies. On both sides were bottomless cliffs, and there were majestic clouds floating in the air.
The road was either long or short. On one side was a boundless cliff, and on the other, steep cliffs. There were also branches from a main road.
“I see… I think we should be on the ginseng fruit tree now.”
Qing Feng quickly made his judgment.
A flower means a world; and a tree, a bodhi.
The fallen leaves that had just fallen from the ginseng fruit tree seemed to be a key to opening the secret realm, which transmitted everyone onto the ginseng fruit tree.
However, there were some wonderful changes.
The proportion between the man and the tree became larger.
Perhaps the people in the secret magic realm had been shrunk by countless times to the size of dust, or the ginseng fruit tree had been enlarged by countless times… In short, the ginseng fruit tree today was like a huge, brand new world for Li Mu and the others.
A tree trunk, which was originally about one finger thick, was like a broad road that was tens of thousands of meters wide before them.
This made Li Mu and the others shocked and amazed.
“The Immortal-seeking Path is hidden in the veins of these leaves and branches.”
Li Mu, by combining the Immortal Path with the oval jade badge, checked the surrounding environment, and soon he comprehended and found that some tree trunks and veins, which, in their eyes at this time, were like mountains and rivers, and with the momentum of geomancy, were similar to the map of the Immortal Path.
Li Mu was leading the way.
Viewing this scene, they seemed like ants walking among the branches of a towering tree, which was very wonderful. The original patterns on the trunk were like mountains and rivers in front of everyone at this time.
Now it could be confirmed that the so-called immortal was in the world of the ginseng fruit tree.
Moreover, they had encountered many ancient battlefields along the way.
Ancient fighting traces were left in some of the tree holes. There were countless animal and human skeletons, and some strangely-shaped demon bones, which had all rotted. As expected, there were all kinds of armor and weapons, but different from the high-grade Taoist instruments in the Tomb of the G.o.d of Sin, they were all broken with no Spiritual Qi, and the internal Taoist patterns were broken. They were completely useless.
On many tree trunks and branches, there were remnants of the ancient battlefields.
Along the way, he even met hundreds of bodies among some branches and mountains. Their Spiritual Blood was dry, but their muscles had not decayed, just like the corpse of King Kong. The hardness of the corpse was comparable to that of divine iron, with divine qi flowing.
This shocked Li Mu and the others.
This was because before King Kong died, it had probably already been a powerful figure across the vast sea of stars, far surpa.s.sing the existence of the third level of the Soldier Realm. It was just like a deity, but it died here.
Compared with those people, Li Mu and the others were really like ants crawling on the ground.
Therefore, in the cultivation realm of the Star River, the first realm was the worm realm, which was even inferior to a mortal. This was reasonable. The martial artists who had just left the planet were as weak as bugs in the Star River.
Li Mu and the others were shocked again and again.
It was hard to imagine what kind of battle had occurred in this place so many years ago that could even result in such a figure dying.
Time seemed to slow down in this secret realm of the Giant Tree World. In the void beyond the branches, the wind blew under the heavy clouds.
Along the way, Li Mu could constantly find the branch texture that was in line with the Immortal-seeking Map.
Judging from the height, they were constantly heading in the direction of the canopy of the ginseng fruit tree.
The higher they went, the more they seemed to ascend to the Ninth Heaven. Along the way, they constantly encountered the ancient battlefield and also the G.o.ds who died on the battlefield.
Later, what he saw along the way were those G.o.d’s dead bodies, who, as if alive, were full of vigorous qi and blood with vivid expressions. They were either standing or sitting in different postures and with different expressions. If it weren’t for the fact that there was no trace of Primordial Spirit in these bodies, Li Mu would probably think that they were actually still alive.
Moreover, the bodies of these dead ancient experts were emitting a frightening energy ripple beyond description. The energy swirl lingered around these corpses in a chaotic manner. The s.p.a.ce around them was distorted and rippled like waves.
Li Mu and the others could only look at them from a distance of a kilometer since they would not be able to get close to them. Otherwise, once caught up in the killing flow, Li Mu and the others would probably be turned into flying ash in an instant.
The higher the level, the more dangerous it was.
The air was filled with a pressure that could make one’s flesh and body shatter, and the killing intent was omnipotent.
Li Mu and the others realized that the only way to be safe was to follow the route pointed out by the map. Otherwise, if they didn’t have the map, they would have been swept into the turbulent killing intent and died cruelly.
