"I've been standing behind you for a while, and you didn't even notice. So lost in thought, what are you thinking about?" Ximen Xue said with some annoyance.
"Oh, it's nothing serious. There has been some turmoil in all the countries recently. I was thinking about asking my children and grandchildren to come back so that I can feel more at ease with you and me." Young Shi Mu put down his book and said.
"You and I have now reached the pinnacle of the heavenly realm, and have some reputations in various sects in various countries. No one would dare to deliberately embarrass our descendants," Ximen Xue said.
The young man Shi Mu shook his head and said with concern: "Xue'er, you must know that there is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. You and I have been trapped at the peak of this heaven for more than a hundred years, and we have never been able to break through. I have been here in recent days
After thinking for a long time, I finally found some clues."
"What did you find?" Ximen Xue was slightly surprised, sat down next to Shi Mu, and asked.
"Decades ago, after Tongtian Immortal Sect annexed Tianmo Sect, it became more and more careless about discovering spiritual mines and spiritual veins. I wonder if you have noticed, Xue'er, that since then, the world near our Muxue Villa has
The vitality is getting thinner day by day?" Young Shi Mu asked.
"If you say so, it's true. Those children of Xue Qing are very talented. They should have broken through long ago, but now there is no movement." Ximen Xue thought for a while and said.
"More than that, you and I are unable to break through the shackles of heaven and reach a higher realm. I think it is probably because of this." Young Shi Mu said.
Shi Mu was originally outside the courtyard, watching the younger children playing with great interest. At this time, he just drifted back into the courtyard and heard the conversation between Ximen Xue and Ximen Xue.
He knew that the level of spiritual power of Blue Sea Star was simply not enough to support the cultivators living on it to break through the heavenly realm. It was already a miracle that young Shi Mu and the two could reach the peak of the heavenly realm.
Since he was in a spiritual state, he had not had a deep impression of the changes on Blue Sea Star over the years. When he heard Ximen Xue and the others say this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he had an unpleasant premonition.
At this moment, a loud "rumbling" sound suddenly occurred between heaven and earth.
The whole earth shook with a loud roar, and the surface of the earth started to churn layer by layer like waves.
"Rumble"
A burst of collapsing sounds came from all around, and cracks opened in the wall of young Shi Mu's cave residence, and they suddenly collapsed one after another, stirring up large amounts of smoke and dust.
Almost at the same time as the strange movement occurred, a sound broke through the air, and dozens of lights and shadows of various colors shot out from it and fell outside the house.
Young men Shi Mu and Ximen Xue were already standing outside, and those gathered around them were all their children and grandchildren.
"Father, this is..." Two young men with handsome faces landed in front of young Shi Mu and asked.
Young Shi Mu took a look at the ruins of the house and cast his gaze to the distant east.
There is the corner of Da Qi, his hometown Fengcheng.
Since he and Ximen Xue secluded themselves here, he rarely went back there. When he went back, he only visited his sister Yuhuan.
"Xue'er..." Young Shi Mu withdrew his gaze and looked back at Ximen Xue, his brows already knitted tightly together.
"You stay here and take good care of the children. Your father and I will go and come back." Ximen Xue glanced softly at his children, reached out and patted a crying child, and said softly.
The toddler quickly stopped crying and looked at his grandma with his big round eyes.
With his current age and knowledge, he naturally still doesn't know what happened.
Ximen Xue smiled at him, turned around, held hands with young Shi Mu, and summoned a flying boat. Then, under the gaze of all his children and grandchildren, it rose into the air, turned into a stream of light, and flew towards Fengcheng.
past.
When Shi Mu saw this, he immediately followed the two of them and fled away.
After flying for more than three hours, Ximen Xue and the others had arrived at the location of Fengcheng.
"How could this happen..." Ximen Xue looked at the scene in front of her, covered her mouth in shock, and said in a trembling voice.
Young Shi Mu also had a look of shock on his face.
What appeared under the two of them was a huge cave with a radius of ten miles, leading straight into the depths of the ground, and it was so dark that there was no end in sight.
Shi Mu arrived a little earlier than Ximen Xue and the other two. He had even flown into the cave to explore for a while, but he couldn't find any clues.
"Xue'er, please wait here while I go down to investigate." Young Shi Mu said this.
"I'll go with you." Ximen Xue said immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the space around him shake, and the two of them quickly flew back more than a hundred feet.
In the sky above his head, a dazzling golden light lit up among the white clouds, and an incomparable burning feeling was released from it.
Soon, the white clouds seemed to be burning, turning red, and then evaporated, revealing a huge cloud hole.
An extremely thick golden beam of light was transmitted from the hole in the clouds, and with a destructive momentum, it smashed into the huge cave.
"Boom"
A violent crash sounded, and the whole earth shook.
Just listen to waves of echoing sounds, surging back and forth from the cave, directly reaching the nine heavens.
Shi Mu focused his eyes and looked high into the sky along the hole, and saw a huge golden battleship pushing through the layers of clouds and falling downwards.
"This battleship... is from Heaven!" Shi Mu exclaimed, but no one could hear his voice.
Young people Shi Mu and Ximen Xue stood side by side, looking up into the sky, their eyes full of disbelief.
Obviously, for them, this kind of magic weapon-level battleship is very unfamiliar.
At this time, other cultivators from all directions on Blue Sea Star also rushed over from different directions and gathered around the cave.
Most of these people have cultivated above the earth level. On Blue Sea Star, they are considered to be not weak in cultivation.
"What on earth...is this?" someone exclaimed loudly.
Everyone started to panic.
"Boom"
Another loud sound sounded.
The front end of the descending giant ship shone with golden light, and then a huge golden light beam came like a teleportation and crashed into the huge cave.
Many people around the cave were too close, and before they could react, they were slightly swept by the golden light and turned into a ball of blood mist, and then burned into ashes.
When everyone saw this scene, they were shocked and fled away.
There were constant rumbling sounds in the cave, smoke began to billow, and a thick smell of magma and sulfur came out of it.
"Who are you and what are you going to do?" Young Shi Mu frowned and shouted loudly.
When he asked this question, the people running around stopped and turned their attention to the couple.
"He is a strong man at the pinnacle of heaven!" someone shouted in surprise.
"Yes, he is a strong man at the pinnacle of heaven. He can be saved now..."
A burst of joyous cheers erupted from the crowd. In their opinion, the existence at the pinnacle of heaven was undoubtedly a god.
However, the battleship turned a blind eye to the angry shouts of young Shi Mu and continued to slowly fall. It was not until it was close to the ground that people could clearly see the situation above.
Shi Mu glanced over and saw that it was densely packed with people. Taoist Wuchen and Taoist Huanglong from the Tongtian Immortal Sect were also prominently among them.
Among these people, the one with the lowest strength is also a heavenly being. The leader is a bearded man wearing a purple robe, but he is a being who has reached the early stage of the divine realm.
Although he did not intentionally emit spiritual pressure, just standing there still made most people on the Blue Sea Star feel dry and almost suffocated.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Young Shi Mu shouted.
After hearing this, the bearded man just glanced at him and ignored him, showing no intention of answering his words.
"Let's do it." The bearded man ordered everyone.
Several purple-robed Taoist priests responded, walked towards several directions on the battleship, and sat down cross-legged.
As soon as they sat down, a light suddenly lit up around them, and complex runes of various colors appeared, surrounding them all.
With the continuous movements of their hands, the light of those runes became more and more intense, until half of the sky was illuminated.
A look of doubt flashed across Ximen Xue's eyes, and his expression became a little uneasy.
Just listen to a "buzz" sound.
The huge battleship suddenly shook, and a golden light suddenly lit up on the hull, turning into a spherical golden light curtain, wrapping the entire battleship.
Immediately afterwards, the airflow suddenly circulated under the battleship and gathered towards the center.
Upon seeing this, young Shi Mu quickly shouted to the cultivators below: "Leave quickly!"
"What……"
Those people didn't understand the situation and asked loudly.
However, before the young man Shi Mu could say it again, there was a "whoosh" from below the battleship, and a huge storm rolled up.
I saw a wind pillar visible to the naked eye rolling up from under the battleship, and an extremely powerful force of attraction penetrated from it. Those who had no time to escape were suddenly torn apart by this huge force and involved in the wind pillar.
, turned into powder.
The young man Shi Mu looked at the blood-red powder scattered in the wind column, and a fire suddenly arose in his heart, and he glared angrily at the bearded man on the battleship.
"Start extracting the earth's core now," the bearded man said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, the young man Shi Mu suddenly froze, looked at his wife, and asked hesitantly: "Xue'er, did he mean to extract the earth's core?"
Ximen Xue also looked horrified, paused for a moment, and then nodded slowly.
The two of them have the highest level of cultivation here, and they have read a lot of books on weekdays, so they naturally understand what it means to extract the earth's core.
