In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed. Li Mu is already twenty-eight years old and has been in this world for sixteen years.
In the past five years, after tasting the benefits of overseas, the Demon Sect has invested most of its efforts overseas. Instead, the Ming Dynasty has become a population base, providing the Demon Sect with trained followers and a large number of immigrants from the Central Plains.
Since we have obtained a large amount of resources overseas, we look down on petty profits in the Central Plains region, not to mention the fact that we have to compete with the righteous way of the Central Plains. The wasted manpower and material resources can be returned tenfold and a hundredfold overseas.
As a result, many petty profits were given up by the Demon Sect. The Central Plains righteous people were smiling happily. There were fewer conflicts of interest, and the conflicts between the two sides naturally became less. The Demon Sect's energy was spent overseas, and any evil ways that appeared in the world were also transferred overseas.
As a result, the battles in the Ming Dynasty have decreased sharply in the past five years, and there has been a rare calm.
In the past five years, although the Demon Sect has stopped causing trouble in the Central Plains and has shown its prowess, nourished by so many overseas resources, its scale has grown larger and larger, especially overseas, and it has become a force that dominates Southeast Asia.
In the past five years, the Demon Sect has not only immigrated millions of people to Luzon Island, reclaimed tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and also begun to aggressively attack cities and plunder lands in the nearby Southeast Asia.
Borneo, the largest island in Southeast Asia and the largest in the world, was captured by the Demon Cult without any effort three years ago.
This island is larger than Sulu, Henan, and Anhui combined. Although it is sparsely populated, it is almost entirely virgin forest and is relatively difficult to develop.
However, the Demonic Cult also organized 500,000 immigrants from the Central Plains to open up wasteland in some suitable places.
Borneo is the center of Nanyang. In the past three years, with Borneo as the center, the Demonic Cult has begun vigorous conquests against the surrounding forces. Over the past three years, all the forces in Nanyang, large and small, except for a few troublesome ones, have basically surrendered or
extinguished.
These islands are larger together. After the occupation, the Demon Cult also immigrated from the Central Plains area. However, due to the short time, only more than 300,000 people were transported there.
However, with a little training, under the leadership of the Demon Cult, they have been able to firmly control and dominate each island.
There is also Australia. Under the leadership of Li Mu, the Demon Sect sent a fleet there only one year after they occupied Borneo, that is, two years ago.
The entire continent was almost deserted, with no people seen and no forces entrenched.
In the past two years, immigration has also been carried out from the Central Plains area, but because it is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, only a few hundred thousand people have immigrated in two years, and only a dozen strongholds have been built along the coastline.
The Demonic Cult, which has almost occupied the entire Southeast Asia and Australia, is now flourishing.
Not only Zhengdao Jianghu benefited from this, but the entire Ming Dynasty also benefited from this.
Those refugees, the hungry people fleeing famine, were moved overseas, which greatly reduced the burden of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, there were famines in places from time to time, causing hunger to spread across the land, but now they have almost disappeared.
There are no hungry people in the countryside. For the feudal dynasty, it is almost a rare sight in the prosperous times. Many officials are even flattering as mentioned above. The saint is coming to the world and the saint is coming to the court.
Not to mention, population pressure and land pressure have always been the biggest contradictions of the feudal dynasty. Now that population pressure has eased, the contradictions between various classes in the Ming Dynasty have also been greatly reduced instantly.
In addition, whenever there are any well-known villains, murderers, evildoers...or evil heretics in various places, they will immediately be taken overseas by the demon sect, which is demanding such talents, and use various means to deal with the indigenous people who dare to resist.
As a result, public security in various places has greatly improved, which can be regarded as a rare and prosperous scene.
Li Mu also got married, to Ren Yingying.
After all, there is a man and a woman alone, and it is hard not to have something happen every day. After Yingying, her predecessor four years ago, became pregnant, she did not make any big plans. She only invited a few high-level officials from the Demon Sect with good connections to do something simple.
As the leader of the Demon Cult, Ren Yingying is now the most powerful woman in the world. She usually makes big scenes wherever she goes, and she doesn't care about it.
She is now also the mother of two children. She gave birth to a son and a daughter to Li Mu, and the two of them get along well.
However, not everything goes as planned.
I don’t know if it’s fate or some other reason, but when they were in Huashan, junior sister Yue Lingshan was close to Li Mu, but it didn’t reach the level of love between a man and a woman. Ever since Li Mu left Huashan, he didn’t go back even once a year.
Yue Lingshan's feelings for him seemed to have changed. Every time she went back, she would pester him, her eyes full of affection. Sometimes after he left, she would not even think about food or tea for several days.
Yue Buqun had planned to bring him and Yue Lingshan together earlier. After that long conversation, he learned about his entanglement with Ren Yingying and gave up the idea. Seeing that his daughter was getting older, he planned to bring Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan together.
However, Yue Lingshan had no feelings for Linghu Chong and only regarded him as her elder brother, which made Linghu Chong decadent for a long time.
Yue Buqun did not force her. It can be seen that her daughter was getting older day by day, and she looked like she would not marry anyone but Li Mu, otherwise she would be alone for the rest of her life. Yue Buqun was also in a dilemma.
I want to tell my daughter that your senior brother Lin is married, under the pseudonym Li Mu, to Yingying, the powerful director of the Demon Cult, but I don’t know how to say it.
Li Mu now has two identities, and only Ren Yingying, Qu Feiyan and Yue Buqun know about it.
If the news that Lin Pingzhi, a disciple of Huashan, joined the Demon Cult under the pseudonym Li Mu and even married the leader of the Demon Cult was spread, I don’t know how big a huge wave would be caused.
Yue Lingshan didn't know this. She only knew that he liked Senior Brother Lin. In the past, Li Mu was in the mountain all year round and saw each other every day, and she didn't even notice. Since Li Mu came down from the mountain, the two of them could not see each other once a year, but she missed him more and more.
Looking at Yue Lingshan who had been alone all her life, Yue Buqun sighed and seemed to have thought about it.
So, this time Li Mu returned to Huashan, Yue Buqun took him for a deep talk and asked him what he should do with the identity of Lin Pingzhi, a Huashan disciple who has been using the pseudonym Li Mu in the Demon Sect, and what should he do with the incense of the Lin family?
This is indeed a problem. As Li Mu gets older, Lin's father and Lin's mother press for marriage more and more fiercely. They also want to have a grandson as soon as possible.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Li Mu had a long talk with Yue Buqun, he talked about the matter with Ren Yingying. He didn't mind marrying one more, but it still depends on Ren Yingying's opinion.
.
Ren Yingying thought that Li Mu was willing to give up his identity and use a pseudonym for her. Huashan disciple Lin Pingzhi has always been alone. She also knew that Lin's father and Lin's mother were urging her to get married. She was the leader of the demon sect and could not be like an ordinary woman.
Be filial to your parents-in-law, support your husband and educate your children.
He couldn't even tell them. If he knew that his son was married to the legendary evil leader of the demon sect, he might be frightened.
After all, this is ancient times where it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines.
As a eldest wife, Ren Yingying wants to appear more reasonable, so why not just marry a younger one? That's okay!
This matter was settled just like that.
However, the identities of Ren Yingying and Yue Lingshan will not overlap much in the future.
He used his identity as Li Mu to marry Ren Yingying, and he used his identity as Lin Pingzhi to marry Yue Lingshan. In terms of status, both of them are official wives.
When he told Father Lin and Mother Lin about marrying Yue Buqun's daughter, Yue Lingshan, the two people, who were anxious about their son's marriage, were overjoyed and immediately sent people to Huashan in advance.
Under Li Mu's suggestion and Yue Buqun's acquiescence, the wedding was small and only some close relatives and senior brothers from Huashan were invited.
After paying homage to heaven and earth, seeing off the guests, and waiting for the sky to darken, Li Mu looked at the bright and charming Yue Lingshan sitting nervously on the wedding bed, with her affectionate look,
I couldn't help but pick her up and put her on the bed: "Little junior sister..."
"Brother..."
…
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed. Li Mu was thirty years old and had another son. He was cherished by Yue Buqun, his wife, and Lin's father and mother.
However, Yue Lingshan's belly has grown again and she said she also wants to have a daughter.
Ren Yingying seemed to be so excited that she wanted to have another baby, and she got pregnant a few days ago.
Li Mu had a lot of leisure time and began to think about breakthroughs in internal skills. He had perfected the sixth level of Zixia Kung last year, but had never found an opportunity to make a breakthrough.
In fact, it's normal when you think about it. For hundreds of years in Huashan, the highest level of Zixia Gong cultivation has only been the sixth level. I have never heard of anyone practicing it to the seventh level. This shows how difficult it is to practice the last level.
It took three or four years for Li Mu's Zixia Gong to break through from the fifth level to the sixth level. Now it has been at the sixth level for seven or eight years. This shows how difficult it is to break through this level.
In the early morning of this morning, Li Mu finished breathing and breathing on the top of the mountain. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he thought of an ancient book that said that when one's inner strength is practiced to the point of being transformed into a human being, the divine will and the method complement each other and are indispensable.
Taoist Taoist martial arts have always paid the most attention to divine will, stressing that divine will comes first and the method comes last.
Zixia Gong is the authentic inner strength method of Xuanmen. Could it be that when I broke through before, I was too obsessed with the method, but ignored the will of God, and my carving spirit was too strong, and I fell into the lower level.
When he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that Feng Qingyang once said, "The way of swordsmanship should be like flowing clouds and flowing water, done at will." This meant the will of God.
Various sects in the martial arts also emphasize that the intention comes first with the sword, where the intention points, and where the sword comes out.
Although I am practicing internal skills, I have always mastered martial arts. When I practice, am I too deliberate? I did not encounter such a situation when I broke through the first six levels of Zixia Kung because I have not reached the highest level and cannot break through.
It pays attention to timing, but it is not obvious to God’s will.
Since this last level of Kung Fu emphasizes the naturalness of God's will, breakthroughs must be natural, without any persistence. As long as you have the idea of a breakthrough, the performance of the Kung Fu will feel deliberate, and you will have obsessions in your heart.
The most urgent thing is to no longer be obsessed with this. It would be best if we could forget it, but how can we forget it?
Li Mu frowned, and this trance became an endless loop. If he thought about a breakthrough and took the initiative to perform the exercises, the breakthrough would become a deliberate thing, not a natural will of God.
If you no longer seek breakthroughs, you will no longer have any obsessions in your heart, but if you don’t perform the exercises, how can you achieve breakthroughs?
He stood up and walked slowly on the top of the mountain. Along the way of practice, he would always encounter various difficulties, especially when the martial arts reached a high level, all kinds of obstacles would come one after another.
Li Mu knew that there was no need to rush this matter, and being anxious only made his obsession deepen. He took a deep breath to calm his mind, and his true energy circulated around his body for several weeks, and gradually the spiritual stage became clear.
Walking to the cliff bank, looking at the rising sun, I slowly collected my thoughts, meditated, and slowly sank into it, and suddenly a kind of enlightenment arose in my heart.
The next moment, he suddenly moved. Under the bright morning sun, the "Chaoyang Yiqi Sword" was slowly used in his hand.
As the most profound and complicated set of Huashan Five Swordsmanship, this set of swordsmanship has a total of 365 swords, corresponding to the 365 days of the year. It is difficult, bitter, profound and difficult to understand. It is a way of understanding the rotation of celestial phenomena through the way of swordsmanship.
of supreme swordsmanship.
Although it is not comparable to the mysterious concept of Dugu Nine Swords, which is to advance without retreating, to win with no moves, it is also not as comprehensive as the general outline of swordsmanship in the world.
But in terms of profound artistic conception and exquisite connotation, it is only slightly inferior.
It is said that this set of swordsmanship is so complicated, but it can be passed down completely. It was also a great help to his understanding of Zixia Gong. Therefore, all the masters of Huashan have attached great importance to this sword.
At this moment, Li Mu's clothes were fluttering, and the long sword in his hand was flying in circles. He kept using one sword after another. Gradually, the calm Qi sea in his Dantian suddenly jumped, and a burst of true Qi spontaneously and automatically gushes out.
Slowly rising from the lower abdomen, it is warm and yang-friendly, flowing continuously through the chest and abdomen, converging on the top of the head, and running in turn through the twelve main meridians.
Li Mu seemed to be unaware of it and allowed the true energy to flow out of his Dantian and circulate in the major meridians, taking turns to travel and refine.
The originally lazy energy all over his body seemed to be stirred up by a hidden dragon, spreading and spraying throughout his limbs, flowing and swimming.
After a few more weeks, the originally scattered true energy in the body gradually gathered in one place, running through the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians in turn, faster and faster, and gradually the inner energy throughout the body was surging.
His mind was as calm as water, and he acted naturally without any deliberate intention, as if all the currents were returning to his origin, the eight extraordinary meridians, the twelve main meridians, the blocked meridians and acupuncture points all over his body suddenly vibrated, like a spring silkworm peeling off a cocoon, and the strands of true energy flowed around.
At first, it was like a trickle, but then it became stronger and stronger, and all the meridians and acupuncture points in the body were connected one by one wherever the true energy passed through.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Mu's body was filled with true energy, and by the time it was already like a surging river, its waves were surging all over his body, but he still felt neither sad nor happy in his heart.
, without thoughts or thoughts, a set of swordsmanship dances endlessly.
If anyone was around at this time, they would be able to see the faint purple aura all over Li Mu's body, and the purple aura on his face was getting stronger and stronger, and gradually there was a bright purple light emitting.
A long sword in his hand was filled with true energy, surrounded by purple light, and he hesitated.
As time passed, Li Mu gradually woke up. He seemed to be "dead and alive". He could clearly understand the condition of his body, as well as the disturbances within a radius of ten feet, but he was completely without thoughts.
Like a puppet, the sword in his hand keeps dancing.
Suddenly, the luck secrets of the seventh level of Zixia Gong flowed through his mind. His whole body trembled with true energy, and he spontaneously and automatically followed the route of the seventh level of Zixia Gong.
As the last level of Zixia Gong, the route of movement is extremely complicated. The true energy may stay or remain in the meridians and acupoints of the whole body, pass through or stop, move or pause, rise slowly, or fall slowly.
All acupoints and acupoints must be taken into consideration.
At this moment, the true energy is spontaneous and automatic, following the path of movement in his heart, without any mistakes or omissions. You must know that the movement of true energy is controlled by the mind, and at this moment, he has no thoughts or thoughts in his heart, and he is not guiding the movement of true energy.
, and the true energy seems to know the way, and really responds to the sentence "the heart is dead and the spirit is alive, the energy will move on its own."
I don't know when, Li Mu has stopped dancing his sword. With his five hearts facing the sky, he sits cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, breathing in and out, his heart and mind are in harmony, his mind and body are in harmony, his body and mind are silent, without sadness or joy, he just
The whole mind sinks into the body, feeling all kinds of changes and comprehending many wonderful scenes.
In the hazy moment, he went back to the time when the world was just beginning to open and the world was yet to come to an end. He felt an extremely quiet feeling, and his mind seemed to be there and not at all, hazy.
I don’t know how long it took, whether it was an instant or ten thousand years, a flash of inspiration appeared in Li Mu’s mind. He was like a newborn baby, and a thought came to his mind, “Who am I?”
The next moment his spiritual platform shook, and a voice replied: "I am me, I am still me, I am me."
As soon as this realization came out, Li Mu seemed to have lost some restraints. His whole body suddenly felt light. In a trance, he only felt that the back of his head was lightly tapped by a jade hammer. There was a clear sound in his ears. He felt that his eyes were filled with whiteness at first.
Then there was a bright light, the body fluid in the mouth spontaneously formed, pooled into the throat, and fell into the Dantian with a stream of heat. There seemed to be several streams of air traveling between the muscles, bones, skin and flesh throughout the body. Everywhere they passed was as warm and moist as if they had eaten ginseng fruit.
Shu, the breath gradually grows stronger and wanders non-stop. Finally, all the rivers return to the sea, all of which are invisible.
Li Mu only felt a warmth in his Dantian, and his whole body was melting. When he breathed, the pores all over his body responded accordingly. The dense purple gas flowed in and out of his mouth and nose along with his breath.
At this time, the sun was in the middle of the sky, his mind entered the air, the air merged with the outside of the spirit, the spirit and the will merged, the breath lasted continuously, if it existed or died, it seemed to exist or not, and gradually returned to dullness.
He took a long breath, stood up slowly from the bluestone, dusted his sleeves, walked to the cliff bank, and let the mountain wind blow by. After eighteen years in this world, he finally practiced Zixia Kung Fu to the last level.
In this world, I am afraid that no one can be my opponent anymore, and no one can match me in internal strength.
Li Mu suddenly thought of Dongfang Bubai and whether he had practiced his internal strength to this level before he died.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Bubai died in the Shaolin Temple seven or eight years ago.
Li Mu sighed softly and looked at the sword on the bluestone two feet away. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. The sword trembled and slowly flew into his hand.
Li Mu was overjoyed. Seven or eight years ago, when the Zixia Kung Fu broke through to the sixth level, he could only pick up a small flower in the air. Now he can pick up a sword in the air. The Dragon Capturing Kung Fu can finally be used.
There are also life and death talismans that he has compiled and perfected over the years, and can now be easily produced.
However, even though he has reached the last level of the technique, he has only just entered the seventh level. Only by completing the seventh level of Zixia Kung can this technique be considered complete.
It took Li Mu seven years to complete the sixth level of cultivation. The seventh level is more profound and needs to be slowly polished and understood. This will take a long time, even ten or twenty years, which makes Li Mu a little speechless.
The perfect power of this Purple Cloud Technique may be even more powerful than he imagined.
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed. Li Mu was thirty-two years old. A major event happened this year. The Demon Cult Headquarters officially moved to Borneo.
Under the continuous immigration of the Demon Cult, the number of immigrants in Luzon reached 1.5 million; the number of immigrants in Nanyang Islands reached 2 million; and the number of immigrants in Australia reached 600,000.
Next, the immigration work in Luzon Island will be suspended and all efforts will be made to immigrate to Southeast Asia and Australia.
After all, the main altar has moved here, and the Nanyang region will become the core of the demon sect in the future. It must prioritize development, strive to immigrate 10 million people within ten years, and completely occupy and develop the surrounding islands of all sizes.
Time passed quickly for another two years. In the past two years, Li Mu put down his martial arts and spent time with Ren Yingying and Yue Lingshan, taking them to travel around the world.
Finally, when the mission time came, Li Mu took another nostalgic look and chose to return.
