Chapter 513 Unexpected Discovery
Li Mu was very interested in this world.
At the moment, what he wanted to figure out the most was whether the world in the Qinling Heaven was an alien s.p.a.ce that originally belonged to Earth, or the fog in Qinling connected Earth with another planet.
Li Mu’s strength had completely bounced back. He jumped onto his flying broadsword and flew at a fast speed.
Along the way, when he occasionally spotted some martial arts cultivators who had entered this world, he secretly observed them from the air.
Some had picked a safe place and were practicing the Training of Qi Formula.
Some were looking for herbs, fruits, or hunting.
Some were fighting with wild beasts or roaming the wilderness in an attempt to find the relics left behind by intelligent beings…
Those people had appeared from different places. Some of them were even tens of thousands of miles away from each other.
It made Li Mu aware that those who walked into the fog from the source of the Jialing River in Qinling would not appear in the same place but would be transported to different places after pa.s.sing through the fog.
Li Mu soon found Xiao Dong and his friends.
The young soldier was with Lu Xun and Lu Yan’er. The three of them had been cultivating and overcoming dangerous situations together along the way. So far, they were more scared than hurt. As Xiao Dong had the jade medallion that Li Mu gave him, once he was in real danger, Li Mu could come to his a.s.sistance in time.
Li Mu did not show up to greet them.
He tried to challenge the giant beasts in the depths of the mountains and swamps instead. But he soon discovered that it was not a challenge for him at all. His physical strength could easily crush those primitive giant beasts.
Eventually, Li Mu picked a place full of Spiritual Qi and began to cultivate.
Based on his previous experience, when the Heaven opened for some time, it would close again, and the Earth people who entered it would be cast out. As for how long this period of time was, the answer was unknown. So for Li Mu, to return to such an environment suitable for cultivation was a huge blessing. Hence, his first priority was to seize the time to improve his cultivation.
He had not forgotten what the old faker told him— Earth would be faced with the problem of demolition in 15 years.
Now, it seemed that the demolition might be a joke. After all, the martial art masters from other planets could not enter the Star Graveyard. If they wanted to forcibly demolish Earth, they would probably die. However, since the old faker had said this quite seriously, there might be another disaster waiting for Earth.
For instance, could the increasing openings of Heavens on Earth actually have something to do with this upcoming disaster?
The information revealed by the avatars of Dessert Camel and Machete, who were both members of a cult, had confirmed this point.
But it was a pity that, by far Li Mu had no way to prove it in the alien world of Qinling Heaven.
He had no choice but to cultivate and increase his strength first.
The time he had spent on Earth since his comeback was not very long. But after several battles that made a name for himself, in fact, a great deal of natural qi inside Li Mu had been consumed and could not be replenished. Like a battery, the power inside Li Mu was constantly declining, but there was no way to charge it. Therefore, in the alien world of Qinling Heaven, Li Mu quickly started replenis.h.i.+ng his power.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a month had pa.s.sed.
The previous opening of the domestic Heavens lasted no more than a few days. Yet, this time, Qinling Heaven had not closed after opening for a month, which surprised everyone.
Li Mu had finished his closed-door training, and his cultivation had boosted a lot.
Right now, he was only a small step away from the Void-breaking Realm. As long as he kept making steady progress, it would be only a matter of a few years before he rose to that realm.
“Xiao Dong’s Jade Medallion Alert has remained silent all the time. It seems that he hasn’t encountered any severe danger.”
Li Mu walked out of the cave and soared to the sky on his broadsword.
He decided to go and have a look at the gains of those martial arts cultivators who had entered this place.
However, to his surprise, he found a group of people fighting a desperate fight against a pack of Wolf Beasts on the plain below when he traveled just five kilometers. They were not Chinese martial arts cultivators but a group of foreign white people.
All kinds of skills, such as wind blades, fireb.a.l.l.s, raging flames, and lightning blades, were sent out from those white people to resist the attacks of the Wolf Beasts from all directions. However, they had been surrounded by beasts and the situation seemed dire.
“Did those foreigners sneak in when the military was not looking?”
Li Mu was taken aback.
Because he did not find any foreigners when he patrolled this world before.
He lowered his alt.i.tude, made himself invisible, and began to observe them at a close distance.
The foreigners below were all white people. There were five men and four women, shouting in English. They were quite young, appearing to be in their 20s, but they didn’t look like spies at all. Logically speaking, it would be understandable if a couple of spies had sneaked in under disguise. However, the military could by no means let the nine people who obviously were from a foreign country in.
Li Mu wanted to observe them for another while, yet this group of white people could not hold on any longer.
The Wolf Beast was a name Li Mu just came up with on the spot. The beast was shaped like a wolf. But its size was way larger than a wolf, and it had sharp horns like a small pony. It had wolves’ cunning and cruelty. They lived in groups and could leap forward fast and tear their prey up.
A howl of pain was heard.
Among them, a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes was waving a big sword in her hand. Her arm was bitten by a Wolf Beast, which hauled and dragged her toward its pack. Her companions around screamed and rushed to rescue her. That made their formation even more messed up. In an instant, several Wolf Beasts intruded into the group…
The beautiful young woman with blond hair and blue eyes was about to be torn into pieces, the others were also in danger. At this precise time, an unexpected change happened.
All of a sudden, a clear voice came and resounded through the sky.
Those fierce Wolf Beasts immediately showed fear in their eyes and whimpered. Then, the chief of the pack let out a long howl as though he was apologizing. Then, hundreds of Wolf Beasts receded like tides and soon disappeared on the distant horizon.
The golden-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful woman and her companions who had closed their eyes waiting for death to befall were still in shock. When they rubbed their eyes and took another look, they saw a boat-like long broadsword suspending 10 meters above the ground. A young man in a white tracksuit was standing on the broadsword, looking down at them with a majestic air.
Those white people looked at each other in silence and then turned to Li Mu with awe and reverence in their eyes.
“Who are you? Why are you in this world?”
Li Mu released a spiritual fluctuation to directly communicate with those people.
That beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes had skin as white as milk. Her facial features were fine, as if made of white jade. Her figure was slim. And she had big eyes, a tall nose, plump b.r.e.a.s.t.s, fine waist, and nice b.u.t.tocks. She had all the makes of a white beauty and full of exotic charm.
Li Mu’s voice sounded in her head. She numbly raised her head to look at Li Mu and said, “Your Excellency… did you just save us? Oh, we are members of the German ‘Black Steel Organization’. And you are…”
“Germany’s Black Steel Organization?”
At that remark, a stream of information popped up in Li Mu’s mind.
According to the file provided by the domestic military, this organization was a private organization consisting of men with superpowers in Germany. It did not belong to the German official superpower force, but it was quite mighty. Among their members, the most powerful man known as the Steel Sword Sage was also regarded as the number one expert in Central Europe. This organization was relatively amicable, so it was not an aggressive and ambitious type.
“How come you showed your faces here?” Li Mu asked again.
Despite Li Mu’s slightly aggressive att.i.tude, these German superpower holders had no aversion to him. They clung to the principle that the strong should be respected, not to mention that Li Mu just saved their lives.
After communicating for a while, Li Mu was shocked.
These nine members of the Black Steel Organization had not come to this world through the fog in Qinling. Instead, they had entered a secret realm on the border between Germany and France and then arrived in this world.
The secret realm was the foreigners’ way to call the Heaven.
That was to say, when these people entered the secret realm of Germany, they actually came to the same world that the Chinese cultivators arrived in.
This came as quite a surprise to Li Mu.
“Could it be that this Qinling Heaven has not only the entrance in Mount Qinling but also many entrances in different places all over the world? And no matter which country the cultivators are from, they can enter this world through their domestic entrances?”
According to his prior observation, the people of the Black Steel Organization were not lying.
Li Mu felt that his understanding of the Heavens called for a remold.
The whole thing was not as simple as he had thought it would be at first.
Clearly, the members of the Black Steel Organization were also very surprised to see Li Mu.
“Thank you for saving our lives, Your Excellency. Could you tell us which country in Asia are you from?” The blue-eyed blonde named Camilla asked respectfully. Her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity and fixed on Li Mu.
“China,” Li Mu replied.
“Oh, you must be a member of the Chinese ‘Dragon League’,” said a heavyset, red-bearded, white man with sudden enlightenment.
Li Mu did not confirm it, nor did he deny it.
The Dragon League was an extremely mysterious organization set by the Chinese government. It did not involve domestic martial arts society’s disputes but directly deal with issues concerning foreign forces. Therefore, it had little fame in the country but was extremely powerful in the eyes of many strong foreign forces. It was considered a mysterious force from the ancient east.
Through their communication, Camilla and others also learned that Li Mu had entered the world from the “secret realm” in China, which undoubtedly made them more staggered.
Before that, a total of 23 secret realms had been opened around the globe. But they had never heard of such a situation in the previous openings. The interior of the secret realms all turned out to be a closed s.p.a.ce, and there was only one entrance into the realms.
“Your Excellency, to put it in your words, any encounter is an arrangement of fate. So, could you let us travel with you? We’ve lost our bearing. And Bettina’s power keeps telling her a great danger is developing in this world, which is the kind we are unable to deal with.” The hot blonde named Camilla pleaded with Li Mu with an earnest look.
She was a German lady possessing both strength and beauty. A specially-forged two-handed sword that weighed more than 150 kilograms was her weapon.
“A great danger?” Li Mu frowned.
It was said that among the superpower holders abroad, there was a kind that could predict what was about to happen, just like the Chinese divination, but just more enigmatic. It was a pure gift, which could alert the coming of dangers in advance.
“Yes, Bettina is our prophet. She has a premonition that great danger will descend in this world and it may affect Earth. That’s why we entered the secret realm, hoping to investigate the matter. We never knew our strength was not enough here. Your Excellency, you’re also an Earth resident. Could you give us a helping hand?”
Camilla’s eyes were full of hope and expectation when she looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu sensed a kind of righteousness that transcended the national borders.
Besides, he was curious about the “great danger” that Camilla had described.
Perhaps these foreigners had detected something that even he hadn’t noticed?
