A quarter to three in the morning, the long night was coming to an end.
The sea was shrouded in fog, and even the sound of the waves seemed abnormally quiet.
The lights of Wanxiang City that never went out dyed the thick fog into an orange-yellow haze.
Stepping on the fog-soaked stone path, Li Qingshan was walking in this haze.
The signboards on both sides of the road shone with colorful spirit lights, reflecting colorful halos in the thick fog.
The streets were filled with people, but there were no fewer than during the day. Many voices came from the fog, but it was no quieter than during the day.
This was a city of cultivators, and it was not bound by the weather. It was truly a city that never slept, but no one seemed to notice the approaching storm.
Despite being in the enemy's camp, Li Qingshan did not seem to be in a hurry. He strolled through the streets and even had the time to buy a pot of wine and eat a few steaming meat buns as breakfast.
Perhaps Spirit Emperor Gui Hai was looking at him at this moment, but he did not want to expose his identity so quickly.
He finished the pot of wine in one go and exhaled, feeling warm and comfortable in his stomach. He liked Shen Yushu's body. Without tempering it, the wine would be stronger.
Speaking of which, Li Qingshan had been a disciple of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect for so many years, but he did not have many opportunities to stroll around Wanxiang City. Now that he was strolling around the city, it seemed like he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good tour.
However, although his footsteps were unhurried and his face was slightly tipsy, his eyes were calm and sharp.
"Just as Pi Yangqiu said, this array is flawless!"
The Myriad Phenomenon Sect's protective array was commonly known as the Myriad Phenomenon Array, but it did not have a specific name. Just like Spirit Emperor Gui Hai, it seemed non-existent yet omnipresent. It was mysterious and profound, meticulous and thorough.
Pi Yangqiu, the head of the Abundance Sanctum, had stayed in Wanxiang City for so many years, but he could not completely understand the changes.
Li Qingshan originally thought that Pi Yangqiu's cultivation was insufficient, but now he could not help but admire Spirit Emperor Gui Hai's methods. He could not help but look up, his gaze piercing through the thick fog, outlining the majestic posture of the Heavenly Book Tower.
The Heavenly Book Tower was the core of the "Ten Thousand Elephant Formation". It was both its strongest part and its greatest weakness.
As long as he entered the building, with this embodiment's cultivation level, he had a high chance of cracking the array before Spirit Sovereign Guihai could react.
However, Spirit Venerable Guihai had sealed the Heavenly Book Tower ahead of time, blocking the biggest loophole. It was unknown if he had foresight or was it just out of caution, or both.
A spirit turtle that had undergone six heavenly tribulations and one of the most powerful formations in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Without either one of them, Li Qingshan would not care at all. However, when they were combined, it became extremely troublesome. This combination could even hold off a Demon God for a while. If an Evil God was trapped in the formation, it would basically be a dead end.
Li Qingshan was not completely confident that he could successfully break the formation.
"Since that's the case, there's no other way!"
Li Qingshan tossed aside the empty wine jug in his hand and bought another jug of wine from a roadside tavern. As he drank, he walked towards the Heavenly Book Tower. His figure gradually disappeared into the colorful fog.
At this moment, the sky was gradually brightening. The lanterns were extinguished one by one, but the fog grew thicker. Many figures moved quickly through it, as if something was surging in the thick fog.
Li Qingshan arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Book Tower. He was in a large square with a radius of three thousand meters. In front of him was a stone wall over thirty meters tall. It was the eastern base of the Heavenly Book Tower, but it also had an even more resounding name — the Myriad Phenomenon List.
Now, other than the fact that it was especially dark due to the fog, it did not look much different from an ordinary stone wall.
Some foreign cultivators were waiting for the sunrise. When the sunlight shone on the stone wall, it would reveal the names of all the Myriad Phenomenon Sect disciples. It was a major sight in Myriad Phenomenon City, known as "Illuminating the World".
Naturally, it meant that the name that appeared on the Myriad Phenomenon List would shine like sunlight across the world.
This was both a good wish and a realistic situation. The name 'Li Qingshan' was a name that everyone knew in the cultivation world of the Mortal Realm.
However, he did not need to look to know that Li Qingshan's name would definitely not appear on it. He also did not need to use this method to let the world know his name.
Above the stone wall was a white stone staircase that was more than a hundred meters wide and hundreds of meters long. At the end of the staircase was the eastern gate of the Heavenly Book Tower.
At this moment, the gate was tightly shut, but Li Qingshan still intended to give it a try. He wanted to see if he could break through the gate and enter the tower before Spirit Venerable Guihai could react. However, he did not have much hope. After all, the one sleeping in the story was not a turtle.
Just as he was about to step around the stone wall, he suddenly stood still. He raised his thick eyebrows and looked back.
A few figures gradually appeared in the mist, appearing on the square one by one. They were all faces that Li Qingshan was familiar with. Basically all the true disciples of the Myriad sect had come, and in the lead was the first senior sister, Dai Mengfan.
Behind them were the Myriad Phenomenon Sect's advanced disciples. They all had solemn expressions and were ready for battle. Their expressions were somewhat dazed as they did not know what had happened. However, they suddenly received an order from Spirit Venerable Guihai, saying that the Myriad Phenomenon Sect was being invaded by external enemies.
Only then did Li Qingshan realize that the "Myriad Phenomenon Sect" had already been activated. This thick fog was no longer ordinary fog, otherwise he would have noticed it long ago.
Until this moment, he still could not sense the existence of Spirit Venerable Guihai.
"Shen Yushu, why are you here?" Dai Mengfan shouted loudly, "How is the Hundred Herb Garden?"
When she received the order from Spirit Venerable Guihai, she was initially on guard, but when she saw "Shen Yushu", she was relieved. However, she felt that things were strange. How could a mere Shen Yushu be called an "external enemy invasion"? He was just a Yin Spirit cultivator. How could he threaten the Myriad Phenomenon Sect? Even if there was, Spirit Venerable Guihai could easily suppress him. Why did he have to secretly summon all the true disciples?
"How did you find me?" Li Qingshan ignored Dai Mengfan and asked loudly towards the Heavenly Book Building.
He felt that he was still acting the state of mind that Shen Yushu had when he returned to the Myriad Phenomenon Sect. He did not reveal any of his aura, so it was unlikely that Spirit Venerable Guihai could calculate his existence. He could not help but feel a little curious.
'Well, it must be through his walking posture or micro-expressions that he noticed something strange. With the memory of that old tortoise, he might even remember how long Shen Yushu's every step was, and that today's steps were a few millimeters longer than usual. '
"You've drunk too much."
A cold and vast voice came through the turbulent fog from the Heavenly Book Building, but only Li Qingshan and a few true disciples could hear it.
"Uh …"
Li Qingshan looked at the wine bottle in his hand and felt a little embarrassed. He did drink a lot of wine along the way, about a few hundred bottles.
"Since it's now, why don't you leave quickly? Don't forget the promise you made to me," said Spirit Venerable Guihai.
"Alas, the world is unpredictable. Who can predict it? I don't want to be the enemy of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect. As long as you hand over something, I will leave immediately and will not stay. I will be merciful when we meet again in the future! "
The true disciples looked at each other. Shen Yushu's tone was too arrogant. He actually said he would be merciful to Spirit Venerable. Spirit Venerable's behavior was really strange. It seemed that he deliberately lowered his voice to negotiate with Shen Yushu. He did not want to have a conflict, but he also did not want others to hear him.
"What is it?" asked Spirit Venerable Guihai.
"The Myriad Heavenly Book!" Li Qingshan said solemnly.
"You already have seventeen of the thirty-eight volumes of the Heavenly Book. Are you still not satisfied?"
"I don't want thirty-eight volumes. I only want one volume. I want the real Myriad Heavenly Book!"
