It's a long way to go outside the territory, and he doesn't know how long it will take to return to the sect. To be on the safe side, Li Mu decided to transplant two sixth-level spiritual plants, Yanyuan Spirit Grass and Mou Xing Spirit Grass, to the Painting World Treasure Mansion for further planting.
Li Mu's figure appeared next to the high-grade spiritual fields on both sides. With the blessing of the spirit gathering array and the star guiding array, the two originally fertile lands added a bit more vitality and aura.
The Mou Xing Ling Cao grows vigorously. They have a unique shape. The edges of the leaves are glowing with a faint silver light. The leaves are dotted with starlight, just like the stars in the night sky. The whole Ling Xing plant is condensed and rich. The power of the stars.
The Yanyuan Lingcao on the other side is a different scene. Their stems are tall and straight, more than three inches high, containing unyielding vitality. The leaves are dark green, as if carved from jade, and the surface is covered with With a layer of delicate luster, it becomes more crystal clear under the sunlight or spiritual light. What is even more peculiar is that the tip of each piece of Yanyuan Lingcao is condensed with a drop of invisible dewdrop-like substance. It is not a dewdrop, but the essence of life condensed by Yanyuan Lingcao - Yanyuan Lingguo, a large piece of Yanyuan Lingcao. The spiritual grass has begun to bear fruit, but it will still take a long time before the real spiritual fruit matures.
As the breeze blows, the leaves of Yanyuan Lingcao sway gently, and the life essence seems to tremble slightly, emitting a faint halo, intertwined with the surrounding rich spiritual energy, forming a A harmonious and wonderful picture.
There are two large spiritual fields, Yanyuan Spiritual Grass and Mouxing Spiritual Grass complement each other. One is green and full of vitality; the other is starry, mysterious and beautiful.
Li Mu smiled with satisfaction. Under the gift of magical power - identifying all spirits, all the attribute information of the two sixth-level spiritual materials appeared in Li Mu's eyes.

The sixty-year-old Mouxing Spirit Fruit has the effect of strengthening the soul, and is the main material for refining the God-Gathering Pill and the Heavenly Star Pill. 】
Looking at the attributes of the two sixth-level spiritual plants, Li Mu was inexplicably happy. Mou Xing Spirit Grass is the earliest to mature. When they mature, they can upgrade the nebula view and strengthen the soul, and then they can proceed to the next step of condensation and refining. Virtual realm.
It is a pity that Li Mu has to go to this invitation from Sword Master Feng and cannot continue to guard this spiritual field.
However, with the cave treasure of the Painting Realm Treasure House, inside it, using star spiritual sand and star crystals, these high-level spiritual stones that contain a large amount of star power, to create a star-guiding formation can still Provide space suitable for Mou Xing Ling grass to grow rapidly.
Li Mu had been prepared to transplant two kinds of sixth-order spiritual plants into the Baofu space, so it was not a problem.
Li Mu made a secret with both hands, activated the magic circle that blocked the spiritual consciousness from prying eyes, opened the protective array, and then took out the painting world treasure house from his arms, flashed his figure, and plunged into the treasure house, leaving only a trace of the treasure house. The emerald-colored painting world treasures gathered together and shrank, turning into a grain of sand and falling to the ground.
Li Mu revealed his figure in the treasure house, and then summoned the treasure house weapon spirit - the five-color dragon, to help him open up two large high-grade spiritual fields, arrange the star-guiding array, and prepare two sixth-level spiritual plants for transplanting Prepare.
Li Mu pointed to an empty and spiritually-rich area in the treasure house, and told Qi Ling: "Help me open up two places with the strongest spiritual energy as new homes for two sixth-level spiritual plants!"
"Okay master, how much area do you want?" asked the colorful dragon.
"Open up two thousand acres!" Li Mu signaled.
Hearing this, the colorful dragon swung its huge tail and instantly turned into a stream of light, soaring straight into the sky. Then it swooped down from the sky, its tail swept across, and the place it passed covered two thousand acres according to Li Mu's requirements. The top grade is laid out with precision.
Li Mu summoned nine golden spiritual swords, used the swords as pens, and began to carve patterns around the two thousand acres of spiritual fields.
Then, Li Mu took out pieces of star spiritual sand and star spar. These high-level spiritual stones exuded soft and bright light, like the brightest stars in the night sky. With skillful techniques, he embedded these spiritual stones into the star-guiding array according to specific directions. Every time a piece of the array was embedded, a ray of light lit up, eventually converging into a complex and exquisite star map that enveloped a large spiritual field.
Then came the spirit-gathering formation, with top-quality spiritual stones embedded in it. With the activation of the array, the concentration of spiritual energy near the spiritual field suddenly increased, and a large number of guiding stars pulled out the power of countless stars, covering this place. In the spiritual field, the soil on the spiritual field has become softer and full of vitality. The soil and air are full of rich star power, creating a nourishing place that is extremely suitable for Mou Xing Spirit Grass.
In another spiritual field, the formation of time is activated, and the entire space seems to be slowly pulled by an invisible force. The power of time is abundant, forming an environment suitable for the growth of Yanyuan Spirit Grass.
Seeing this, Li Mu exited the treasure house space and returned to the outside world again. He waved his sleeves gently, and the fine sand-like painting world treasure house expanded instantly, returned to its original shape, and was suspended steadily in mid-air. among. Li Mu performed the pinching technique with his hands, and his spiritual thoughts covered the two thousand-acre spiritual fields where Mou Xing Ling Cao and Yan Yuan Ling Cao were planted. In the spiritual field, there are spiritual plants attached to each other.
“Get up!” As Li Mu shouted, his mind suddenly shook, as if there were invisible giant hands, gently holding up the two precious sixth-level spiritual plants. ——Mou Xing Ling Cao and Yan Yuan Ling Cao, their root systems were slowly separated from the soil, but they were not damaged at all.
Under the guidance of Li Mu’s spiritual thoughts, Mou Xing Spirit Grass and Yan Yuan Spirit Grass slowly rose, and a suction force came out of the Painting World Treasure Mansion, sucking these spiritual plants into it one by one. Under his control, they were planted one by one in the high-grade spiritual fields.
The relocation of two thousand acres of spiritual land was completed in an instant.
Li Mu's figure flashed, and he entered the treasure house again to confirm the transplantation status of the two sixth-level spiritual plants.
Two days later, after Li Mu asked several elders of the Seven Series Sect to take care of the sect, he followed Sword Master Feng on a high-level spiritual ship and set off for the land outside the Nine Nether Territory.
On the deck, Li Mu and Feng Jianzhu stood side by side, looking at the rolling mountains ahead, each with their own thoughts. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the two of them, adding a touch of warmth to this unknown journey.
"Sword Master, the purpose of our trip is to the Nine Netherworlds outside the territory, but I have always been doubtful." Li Mu broke the silence, with a bit of solemnity in his tone, and asked: "Both Tao Lords are Why are the powerful people in this world trapped outside the Nine Nether Territory and unable to escape? ”
Hearing this, Sword Master Feng turned around and looked at Li Mu deeply, as if he was evaluating something, as if he was considering whether to tell Li Mu the truth.
After a moment, Sword Master Feng sighed, looked at Li Mu and slowly introduced: "Elder Li, you don't know something. The land outside the Nine Nether Territory is not an ordinary place, but an extremely special place between heaven and earth. A special secret realm. It is said that there are many different spaces and interfaces connected there, which contain endless treasures and opportunities, as well as unimaginable dangers and dilemmas."
"Since ancient times, Jiuyou has been there. It is regarded as a portal between the spiritual world and other unknown worlds. The rules within it are chaotic and time and space are distorted. Even a Taoist master who has cultivated to the sky will inevitably encounter unexpected changes once he penetrates into its core area. The two Taoists of our sect Sir, this joint exploration accidentally triggered an ancient restriction and was trapped on the edge of the Nine Nether by an inexplicable force, making it impossible to return easily." Sword Master Feng explained solemnly in a low and powerful voice.
“The changes in Jiuyou seem to be inextricably linked to the increasingly thinning of spiritual energy in the spiritual world. According to ancient records, whenever there is a huge change in the depths of Jiuyou, the spiritual energy in various places in the spiritual world will appear different. The degree of fluctuation is even large, resulting in the depletion of spiritual energy. We are not only looking for a way to rescue the two Dao Lords, but also to find out the truth behind this and solve the crisis of spiritual energy exhaustion that the spiritual world is about to face." Sword Master Feng finally added. road.
“What! The spiritual energy is exhausted!”
Hearing this, Li Mu's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were full of shock. He knew that spiritual energy is like the source of life for monks. Once it dries up, the entire spiritual world will fall into an unprecedented predicament. Spiritual plants will grow and the monks' cultivation will improve. All rely on the nourishment of spiritual energy.
"Sword Master, doesn't the consequence of spiritual energy depletion mean that our path of cultivation will become extremely difficult and may even go backwards?" Li Mu's voice trembled slightly, obviously shocked by the sudden news. .
Sword Master Feng nodded, his expression became more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, the depletion of spiritual energy will directly affect the foundation of the monks in this world. If a solution is not found in time, not only will the monks' cultivation be difficult to improve, , it is more likely to trigger competition for resources among sects, causing the entire spiritual world to fall into chaos. What is even more serious is that if the spiritual energy completely disappears and the Age of End of Dharma comes, all living beings in this world will face annihilation. "
"Is the depletion of spiritual energy related to the Chaos Realm Sealing Formation? This formation seals the passage to the Demonic Abyss and the Upper Realm!" Li Mu thought of something and asked.
"The Chaos Sealing Formation! It does have a bit of a relationship, but it is not fundamental. There are countless spiritual veins in this world, and the amount of spiritual power transported by the channels between the two worlds is limited. Even if it is closed, it cannot deplete the spiritual energy in this world! Nine You's spiritual influence on this world is different." Sword Master Feng shook his head and rejected Li Mu's judgment.
Sword Master Feng slowly raised his head, his eyes seeming to have penetrated the barriers of time and space, returning to that distant and glorious era: "In ancient times, the spiritual energy in the spiritual world was so rich that it could almost be liquefied. Mountains, rivers, vegetation, and trees all contained spirituality, and birds and animals could be cultivated. There are high-level monks everywhere, and it is not difficult to achieve the realm of Mahayana Taoist. Even if the passage between the Demonic Abyss and the Upper Realm is opened, it will not have much impact."
After a pause, Sword Master Feng continued to introduce Li Mu. Said: "The ancient monks, bathed in such abundant spiritual energy, practiced for thousands of miles with each passing day, and strong men emerged in large numbers. Moving mountains and seas, picking up stars and moons was just a matter of leisure. There were many sects, each showing their magical powers. Instead of competing for resources, they often It was a truly golden age to exchange Taoism and study the secret of immortality together.”
“However, the good times did not last long, due to the imbalance of some unknown force between heaven and earth, and the greed of some powerful beings. With ambition, the ancient catastrophe quietly came, and the Nine Netherlands, which was originally a place of ghosts and evil, for some unknown reason, the filthy air and negative power in it began to overflow crazily, eroding the entire spiritual world. The encounter between this filthy air and pure spiritual energy is like water and fire, which not only consumes a lot of spiritual energy, but also makes the laws of heaven and earth become chaotic."
Sword Master Feng paused for a moment, his gaze penetrating. Layers of clouds and mist revealed the dark age of ancient times.
“The ancient power successfully isolated the Nine Netherworld. Now for some unknown reason, the pollution of the Nine Netherworld is getting worse day by day, gradually eroding the foundation of the spiritual world, causing a large number of main spiritual veins to be damaged, and the spiritual energy becoming increasingly thinner, until Today, we are faced with the dilemma of spiritual energy exhaustion.”
"If we want to solve this fundamental problem, we need to go deep into the Nine Netherlands to explore the source of the pollution. We may also be able to find the key to restoring spiritual energy and re-establishing order. However, this trip is extremely dangerous and dangerous, with a narrow escape from death. Only those who defy nature and have a fearless heart can do so. "
Sword Master Feng felt extremely heavy when he said this. He turned to look at Li Mu and finally introduced: "The two Dao Lords of our sect decided to resolve this crisis completely. Decided to go deep into the Nine Nethers, trying to find the secret of the Nine Nethers and the depletion of spiritual energy, and strive for a glimmer of hope for this world.”
After hearing Sword Master Feng’s detailed introduction, Li Mu felt inexplicably complicated. Unexpectedly, Xuantian Sword Sect. The senior management also bears such a heavy responsibility.
"Sword Master, according to the current depletion rate of spiritual energy, how long can the spiritual veins in the spiritual world be sustained?" Li Mu thought of something and looked at Sword Master Feng and asked with concern.
Sword Master Feng pondered for a moment, frowned, and said slowly: "According to the calculations of the sect elders and the recent frequency of spiritual energy fluctuations, if there is no external intervention, according to the current depletion rate, the spiritual world can only After another three thousand years, the spiritual energy will become thinner, and the cultivation of high-level monks will become difficult, and it will be even more difficult for low-level monks to survive. By then, the entire spiritual world may be in an unprecedented crisis."
"If this problem cannot be completely solved within two thousand years, the spiritual veins of the Lord of this world will suffer devastating damage and will be completely irreparable. At that time, the Age of End of Law will officially come." Sword Master Feng finally said.
Hearing this, Li Mu's heart sank. Two thousand years may seem like a long time, but in fact, for a monk, it is just a blink of an eye. (End of this chapter)
