The mountain of spiritual jade that was once hundreds of feet high has disappeared, leaving only a pile of spiritual jade powder, like sand and dust, piled on the grass by the lake.
The entire Hutian space has been so silent for a year.
At a certain moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the cave.
The strong wind swept through, and the spiritual jade powder was blown up, fell into the lake, and melted one after another. On the grass, a figure sitting cross-legged, with slightly closed eyes, slowly opened.
The light in his eyes flashed away, and a powerful aura rose into the sky, shaking the entire cave.
Li Mu slowly flew up and felt an unprecedented majestic magic power in his body.
After more than a year of seclusion and absorbing millions of high-grade spiritual jade, it was only today that he finally advanced from the peak of Transcendence to Hedao. With the current level of spiritual energy in Shizhou, if he hadn't understood the method of preaching, if it hadn't been for the help of the Dragon Clan from all over the world,
, I’m afraid there will never be such a day.
For more than a year, Xuanjizi did not crush the jade messenger that Li Mu gave him, indicating that the situation outside was still under their control.
Even so, Li Mu was very eager to understand the situation outside. With just one thought, he disappeared into the cave.
South China Sea, somewhere in the sea.
Several Dao Sect disciples were struggling with a strange beast.
This beast has two wings on its back, two eagle heads, and four sharp claws protruding from its abdomen. Every time it attacks, the air makes a sound like cracking silk. The magical power of the Taoist disciples falls on it, and it can only be eaten by it.
Howling in pain, it couldn't hurt it much at all.
On the contrary, the attack of this alien beast is extremely fierce. If a human body is touched by its sharp claws, the physical body may be directly destroyed.
As for the two heads of this beast, one can spit out flames, and the other can spit out extremely cold air. If it weren't for the flexibility of several Dao Sect disciples, they would have died at the hands of this strange beast long ago.
Even so, they were still complaining in their hearts.
The body of this alien beast is too strong for them to be harmed at all. If they continue to struggle with it, their mana is about to be exhausted, and they will surely die at the hands of the alien beast.
One disciple finally couldn't help but said: "Brother, this beast is too strong, why don't we withdraw..."
Another young man in white controlled a flying sword, with a resolute look on his face, and said: "Escape, where can we retreat? If we escape, there will always be fellow disciples to face. If we even encounter this beast, we will have to escape until more time."
When a powerful alien beast comes, can we just wait for death?"
The young man in white has reached the peak of creation and is also the strongest among the few. If he hadn't been keeping this strange beast in check, the others would have been killed by the beast's claws long ago.
After hearing this, several Dao Sect disciples could only form formations and continue to fight hard.
Suddenly, this strange beast suddenly flapped its wings and set off a gust of wind.
The formation of several people was instantly disrupted, and the alien beast took the opportunity to get closer, grabbing the head and heart of the young man in white with its claws.
Its speed was as fast as lightning, and the young man had no time to dodge. Just when he was about to explode his body and escape, the strange beast suddenly gave up its attack, flapped its wings, and retreated quickly.
The young man felt something, turned around, and saw a figure floating not far behind him.
Qing Xuanzi's cultivation has grown a lot compared to the last time we met Li Mu. He looks less arrogant but more sharp, like an unsheathed sword. The layer of evil energy surrounding him shows that
In recent months, he has experienced many battles of life and death.
When they saw Li Mu, several Dao Sect disciples, including Qing Xuanzi, were stunned for a moment, and then they said in surprise: "Taoist leader!"
Li Mu flicked his fingers, and a bolt of lightning flashed, and the strange beast with only the fifth level of aura disappeared completely between heaven and earth. Li Mu looked a little serious and asked: "The strange beast has arrived, where is the powerful Taoist sect?"
"
This was originally the place where the Road to Heaven was destroyed, but there were no strong men from the Dao Sect, and strange beasts had appeared in the Ten Continents. Something big must have happened during Li Mu's retreat and breakthrough.
Qing Xuanzi put away his flying sword, immediately flew forward, clasped his fists and said: "Returning to Dao Sect, three months ago, a space crack appeared in the sky over the South China Sea. Many strange beasts flew out, and the space crack also began to move around. Dao Sect
In order to stabilize the space and prevent more powerful beasts from passing through, our seniors have been guarding the cracks in the space. They should be in Yanzhou now..."
After listening to Qing Xuanzi's words, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
The alien beasts did not invade on a large scale. Although a space crack appeared in Shizhou connecting Taoyuan, the crack could only allow some alien beasts that were weak in size and strength to pass through, and did not cause very serious consequences.
He left several bottles of healing and recovery elixirs for a few people, and hurried to Yanzhou.
At this time, a person next to Qing Xuanzi asked curiously: "Senior brother, I heard that you knew the Taoist leader before, is it true..."
Recalling the past events, Qing Xuanzi looked embarrassed, waved his hands and said: "How is that possible? Stop talking nonsense. Go back to the sect quickly and tell them that the Taoist leader has left seclusion..."
The South China Sea was very close to Yanzhou. Following the direction pointed by Qing Xuanzi, Li Mu arrived at the place where the space crack was located in just a blink of an eye.
Twenty seventh-level experts from Dao Sect were sitting in the sky around the crack, trying their best to stabilize the crack and prevent it from expanding further.
Dozens of other people were meditating and adjusting their breath nearby, waiting for their turn.
Li Mu released his breath, and immediately several figures flew up. Xuan Jizi looked at him and said in surprise: "Junior brother, you are finally out of seclusion!"
Li Mu nodded and asked, "How is the situation?"
Xuanjizi looked at the space crack with worry on his face and said: "It's not optimistic. Three months ago, this space crack appeared, and many low-level alien beasts ran out of it. We have tried our best to stabilize it, but it is still there.
As it continues to expand, I'm afraid it won't be long before stronger beasts appear from it..."
While Qing Xuanzi was speaking, another strange beast comparable to the sixth realm appeared. The strong man guarding nearby took action immediately and killed it directly.
Xuan Jizi continued: "Except for the sudden surge of strange beasts three months ago, which caught us off guard, all the strange beasts that came out of the cracks were killed, and the earliest ones fled to various parts of the ten continents.
, we have also been hunting..."
Li Mu looked at the crack in space. At this time, strange beasts comparable to the sixth realm had appeared. One day, the crack in space would expand enough to withstand monsters from the seventh and eighth realms.
Shi Zhou can still deal with the monsters in the seventh realm, but only Li Mu and Bai Di can deal with them in the eighth realm. If there are more than three eighth realm beasts, or a ninth realm monster passes through the space crack,
The entire Dao Sect will be defeated instantly...
Although it is already an extremely remarkable thing for him to have reached the eighth realm at such an age, it is not enough in the face of this catastrophe.
Unless, he can be promoted to the ninth realm.
But to be able to advance to Hedao so quickly, Li Mu has exhausted all his strength and resources. It is impossible to achieve breakthroughs in a short period of time. In fact, the spiritual energy of Shizhou is so thin that as long as he continues to stay in Shizhou
, your cultivation will never be able to go further.
It is no longer possible for the ninth realm to be born in the ten continents.
Li Mu looked at the crack again. Although strange beasts would poke their heads out there from time to time, just the spiritual energy escaping from the crack made the pores in Li Mu's body dilate and his cultivation loosen.
On the other side of the crack, the spiritual energy is a hundred times stronger than here.
Li Mu took a deep breath of the air that contained the aura of Taoyuan, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.
Xuan Jizi looked at Li Mu and seemed to see something, and said in shock: "Do you want to..."
Li Mu nodded and said, "This is the only way."
Not long after, the Great Zhou Dynasty arrived.
As soon as Liu Hanyan and Li Qing left Li Mu's arms, Wanwan and Xiaobai flew up to them. Li Mu hugged them and spun them around, and the two women ran away obediently.
Li Mu hugged Yinxin again, took Tingxin off his body, and then walked to the queen.
Zhou Wu stood there, restraining her inner impulse, but was picked up by Li Mu and spun around in a circle. Her face turned red and she said angrily: "Put me down, do you think I am Wanwan and Xiaobai..."
…”
Li Mu hugged her for a while before letting her down. Then he looked at Master Mei and A Li standing behind her and said with a smile: "Sister Mei has become younger again. What has A Li eaten during this time? He has grown up again."
few……"
After being in seclusion for more than a year, Li Mu first spent two days with Liu Hanyan and Li Qing, and then came to the palace, where he and the Queen enjoyed flowers in the Royal Garden, walked in the clouds, and watched the sunset together on the top of Changle Palace...
When the red sun was about to disappear from sight, Li Mu was silent for a moment and said, "I have something to tell your majesty."
Zhou Wu did not ask Li Mu, but simply said: "I will go with you."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, be good and obedient. Wait for me to come back."
Zhou Wu didn't speak again, she just leaned her head on Li Mu's shoulder and looked into the distance quietly.
The two of them sat quietly like this until the moon reached its peak.
At a certain moment, Li Mu turned his head to look at her and said softly: "It's getting late, I'm going back."
He slowly stood up, but his wrist was held.
Zhou Wu raised her head. Under the moonlight, her face was cold, and the majesty of the empress emerged. She said lightly: "I am tired. You can stay here tonight, my queen..."
