Just when Old Man Tianji cast the "Tianji Chain", Tianji deduced Li Mu's location.
Li Mu was in a hidden path, concentrating on refining the 120th level seventh-level dragon bone Dao sword. He made secrets with both hands, controlled the sky fire refining furnace to temper the earth keel, and solidified the sword embryos of the three Dao swords. Suddenly, he felt Some subtle changes.
The Heavenly Secret Treasure - the Fortune Spirit Turtle buzzed, and the weapon spirit was on the alert. Li Mu's spiritual thoughts moved slightly, and he immediately felt an indescribable sense of peeping, as if an invisible eye was penetrating through the fog, trying to locate his position. This feeling was both strange and familiar, reminding him of his previous experience of being deduced by Tianji.
"Someone is trying to deduce my location? It's not that easy!"
Li Mu secretly groaned in his heart, and sent out a trace of spiritual thought to summon the Fortune Turtle from the Tianxuan Ring, urging it to release circles of faint ripples. These ripples spread silently, matching the power of the Tianji Deduction Intertwined and interfered with each other, making the other party's deduction blurred and confusing.
At the same time, Li Mu sped up the pace of the refining, the speed of the seals formed with his hands became faster and faster, and the flames in the Sky Fire refining furnace became more intense, as if they were going to devour everything.
Soon, under Li Mu's careful control, three seventh-level dragon-bone Taoist swords were formed. The patterns on the swords were solidified one after another, the aura flickered, and the sword's intent soared to the sky.
"Give it to me!" Li Mu shouted, and suddenly put his hands together, and saw three bright sword lights rushing out of the refining furnace and shooting straight into the sky. Three seventh-level dragon-bone Taoist swords were finally successfully refined.
Feeling the power of the three new swords, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart. However, he did not slack off and immediately took the three new swords into Wanjian Mountain.
Not long after, Li Mu's figure flashed and appeared outside the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion. He put away the Treasure Mansion and the Square Room, and then released the teleportation array card, activating the teleportation array leading to the unknown area.
With a flash of light, Li Mu's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint ripple in space that gradually dissipated.
After teleporting several times and traveling as fast as he could, Li Mu left the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Territory, crossed the vast sea and land, and finally arrived at the edge of the Northern Territory. Here, the cold wind was biting, snowflakes were flying, and a blanket of silver covered the Southern Wilderness Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range. The style and atmosphere are completely different.
Li Mu restrained his cultivation aura, disguised himself as an old casual cultivator in his sixties, and appeared on the top of a majestic snow-capped mountain, looking into the distance.
In front of me, at the foot of the mountain, a city carved out of ice suddenly came into view. It was a self-built ice city called "Frost City". The buildings in the city were well-proportioned and all made of solid ice. , crystal clear, shining dazzlingly under the sunlight. On the street, monks wearing thick furs could occasionally be seen rushing past. They were either exchanging their cultivation experiences, trading spiritual materials, or traveling in caravans.
Li Mu slowly walked into Frost City, feeling the unique coldness of this ice city, blending in with the sparse crowd, preparing to enter the city.
"Enter the city and get a spirit!" At the gate of the city, a guard wearing thick ice armor and a stern face blocked Li Mu's way and said without any emotion in his voice.
Li Mu smiled slightly, took out a medium-grade spiritual stone from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
The guard glanced at the spiritual stone on the table, and after confirming that it was correct, nodded and moved out of the way.
After entering the city, Li Mu first walked around and observed the layout and atmosphere of the city. There are many shops on both sides of the street, some selling various magic weapons and weapons, some trading rare medicinal materials, and some providing cultivation resources. It is very lively. The air is filled with a touch of spiritual energy and cold air, which makes people feel refreshed.
"Well, this Frost City is not bad, suitable for a temporary stay." Li Mu thought to himself, and then began to look for a suitable courtyard, planning to live in seclusion in this city.
Soon, Li Mu found a small courtyard for rent in a relatively prosperous but slightly remote corner of the city. The courtyard was not big, about 100 square feet, but the location was good.
Li Mu inquired about the owner of the courtyard and spent a thousand spirit coins to rent it for a long time. Then, he recruited Xueer and Mingyue from the Painting World Treasure Mansion and asked them to hide their appearance and disguise themselves to help take care of the courtyard.
"Brother Li, aren't you going to track down the ninth level Earth Vein Divine Fire! Why did you suddenly come to this desolate border town to live in seclusion?"
Xue'er looked at Li Mu, puzzled by his impromptu decision, and her smart eyes blinked, full of doubts.
"The auras of several ninth-level divine objects are not yet stable. They will not be able to take root for at least a hundred years. I will put the tracking aside for the time being. Right now, I have more important things to do. I am looking for a safe place to refine my weapons. This place is good, Dayin In the city, it should not be easily noticed by those who are following him," Li Mu introduced with a deep look.
"You take care of the courtyard, I will be in seclusion for a while." Li Mu added, looking at the two of them.
"Understood, Brother Li, we will be careful." Xue'er said softly.
"Master, do you want to set up a magic formation in the courtyard?" Mingyue took out a small formation disk from her sleeve, looked at Li Mu and asked for instructions.
"Just set up some simple protective formations, keep a low profile and don't attract attention." Li Mu nodded and explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Ming Yue immediately took action. The array disk in her hand flashed with light, and then she waved her sleeves lightly. Tiny runes flew in the air like elves, and finally blended into the surrounding ice and snow silently, forming a A protective formation that seems simple but has hidden secrets. The protective formation can protect the small courtyard from outside intrusion without being too ostentatious and attracting attention.
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and gave silent praise to Mingyue's formation attainments.
Afterwards, Li Mu turned around and walked into the house, entered the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, and continued the previous refining. At the same time, he arranged a spiritual array to provide the fortune turtle with spiritual power, allowing it to run at all times, actively covering up the secrets for himself, and avoiding being caught again. Others figured out the bearings.
In the following days, Li Mu stayed in the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, isolated his own breath, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to seclusion and refining weapons.
Time flies by like a flash, and months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Tiannan Sea area, all Mahayana monks followed the guidance of Old Man Tianji and rushed to this area. They dispersed their subordinates, only to find that Li Mu seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how they searched, they could not find any trace.
"Where is Elder Li hiding? Why can't we find him?" Old Man Xuantian frowned, his eyes were like a torch, and the web of his spiritual consciousness scanned the entire sea area, but he could only see the vast sea with rough waves.
"Is there an error in Tianji Taoist's deduction?" Old Taoist Lingyun couldn't help but mutter in his heart. After all, Tianji's deduction is not omnipotent, and deviations may occur. "Impossible! My Tianji Chain will never go wrong. Master Li must be in this sea area." Old Man Tianji's face was pale, his tone was extremely firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Unless he intentionally avoided us and left early. This domain! ”
At this moment, a disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect hurriedly flew over, raised his hands and saluted: "Sect Master, we found some clues on a small island, which seem to be related to Elder Li."
"Oh? Hurry up and lead the way!" Old Man Xuantian was overjoyed and immediately led a group of Mahayana monks to follow the disciple and fly towards the small island.
When they arrived at the island, they saw only the hidden traces of the formation on the island and the faint aftertaste of the teleportation formation. It was obvious that someone had been active here and had been gone for a long time.
"It seems that Elder Li has indeed been here, and this hidden magic circle should be his handiwork." Chen Qingxuan searched around, capturing more information from the details, and said with certainty: "He should have left in advance by taking the teleportation array. .”
"Elder Li, he must have sensed Fellow Taoist Tianji's inference and escaped first!" Feng Wuhen said.
"Elder Li is proficient in various skills and has built the Avenue of Chaos. If he deliberately hides, we may not be able to find him." Qi Xuanming sighed in admiration.
"In this case, we can only report the truth to our uncle!" Old Man Xuantian sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but worry: "It's just that besides us waiting to find Elder Li, the Immortal Demon God of Moyuan and Tianfeng of the Fairy Spirit World The Immortal Emperor is also searching for his whereabouts. Is Elder Li really capable of avoiding their eyes and ears?”
After the old man Xuantian finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became solemn. All the Mahayana monks looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts. Li Mu's disappearance involves the future of the entire spiritual world.
"The Immortal Demon God and the Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Emperor are both people with extraordinary cultivation. If they are determined to find Li Mu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Elder Li to avoid them." Old Master Lingyun said in a deep voice. He knew very well that these two powerful men He was deeply worried about Li Mu's situation.
Old Man Tianji was silent for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "We can't sit still and wait for death. Since he intends to hide, we can only pay close attention to the movements of the Immortal Demon God and Tianfeng Immortal Emperor to prevent them from getting there first."
"What Taoist Fellow Tianji said is absolutely true." Old Man Xuantian nodded in agreement, and then turned to a group of monks, "Everyone split up. Some people continued to search the sea area, while others went to nearby cultivation cities to search for the whereabouts of Elder Li. , at the same time, strengthen monitoring of the movements of the Immortal Demon God and Tianfeng Immortal Emperor.”
Hearing this, the monks nodded one after another, and then started to act according to the arrangement of the old man Xuantian.
In the outer star field, the Immortal Demon God is sitting in the dark Demon Palace, surrounded by billowing demonic energy. A pair of black eyes are shining with cold light. He has used the secret tracking method again and again, but all ended in failure.
Previously, his immortal clone died because of it, and the immortal secret spell left on that person seemed to have been erased by it. Now, the immortal demon's plan to track his whereabouts came to nothing.
"Where are you damn guy hiding? I will definitely dig you out, twitch your muscles and peel off your bones, to vent your hatred!" The Immortal Demon God roared angrily, and the demonic energy surged, as if it was going to overthrow the entire demon palace.
Upon seeing this, a demon general beside him hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Sir, we have followed your instructions and searched extensively in the Tiannan Sea and surrounding areas, but so far we have not found any trace of Li Mu."
< br>
"Trash!" The Immortal Demon God roared angrily, and a powerful force of magic instantly blasted the Demon General away. The Demon General vomited blood and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"I'll give you one more chance. We must find Li Mu's whereabouts. I want to live. He has the secret of the Chaos Avenue. I'm going to be dead!" The Immortal Demon God's tone was cold, full of unquestionable majesty.
When all the demon generals heard this, their hearts trembled, and they quickly accepted the order and left. The methods of the Immortal Demon God were extremely cruel, and if they failed to complete the task, they would be severely punished.
As a result, the demon generals from the Moyuan forces sent a large number of demons and demon cultivators to the Qiling Star, searching for Li Mu's whereabouts.
For a time, the entire Qiling Star fell into chaos and panic. The Demonic Abyss army was like locusts passing through. Wherever it went, life was devastated and mourning was everywhere.
The demon generals couldn't find any trace of Li Mu, so they poured out their anger and cruel methods on the innocent monks and people in the spiritual world. Many immortal cities, sects, and cultivating families in all areas of the spiritual world were killed one by one by the demonic abyss army. After the attack, the bustling streets turned into ruins, and the once bustling streets were now filled with only silence and despair.
The monks either resisted desperately or fled in all directions, but in the face of the overwhelming power of the Demon Abyss army, their struggles seemed so feeble.
In Zhongzhou Lingyu, Xuantian Sword Sect and a large number of sects gathered in the sect square, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.
Old Man Xuantian stood in front of everyone, his eyes like torches, looking at the distant sky shrouded in demonic energy, his heart filled with unprecedented heaviness and determination.
"Comrades, the demonic abyss army is ravaging our spiritual world, destroying all lives, and countless monks and people have been brutally poisoned. As a member of the spiritual world, we have an unshirkable responsibility and must stand up and protect our home!" Old Man Xuantian's voice echoed in the air. On the square, it aroused the passion and fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.
"Swear to the death to protect our homeland and the spiritual world!" All the monks shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth.
Xuantian Sword Sect joined hands with other major sects, including Tianjian Sect, Yunyin Sect, Lieyan Sect, etc., to form a coalition, vowing to fight to the death against the Demon Abyss army.
Under the leadership of the old man Xuantian, the coalition forces marched toward the Moyuan army in a mighty manner. Along the way, they regained the cultivation city occupied by Mo Yuan's army and rescued countless trapped monks and people. Their morale was high and they were full of fighting spirit.
However, the Moyuan forces are no ordinary people. They have powerful monsters and demon cultivators, and they also have two demon gods with extraordinary cultivation levels - the Immortal Demon God and the Black Eagle Demon God.
Although the spirit world coalition forces achieved some victories in many battles with the Demon Abyss army, they also paid a heavy price.
At the same time, the army of the fairy world led by Emperor Tianfeng is also waiting for the opportunity. While searching for the whereabouts of the practitioners of the Chaos Avenue, they intend to intervene in the spirit world, get a share of the pie, and unite with the human monks of the spirit world to block the invasion of the Demon Abyss army. .
Although Emperor Tianfeng claimed on the surface that he wanted to unite with the monks from the spiritual world and the human world to fight against the Demon Abyss army, his real purpose deep down was to obliterate the human race's chaos practitioners, eliminate potential threats, and control the secrets of the Chaos Avenue. This enhances one's own strength.
For a time, the entire spiritual world was filled with fighting. The entanglements and confrontations between the three major forces caused the entire spiritual world and even the wider realm of cultivation to fall into unprecedented turmoil. (End of chapter)
