45 days in the Mortal World, but more than a year had passed in the Ancient Mystery Land.
…
In the Devouring Heaven Domain of the Middle Land, there was a primeval forest 30 miles east of the Domain Castle. Wild beasts ran amok, and few people were there. However, the morning dew and the evening glow, and the spiritual power rippled, making it an excellent place for cultivation. For more than a year, Lin Muyu had been cultivating here. She had already broken through 90 Grotto-Heavens and stepped into a whole new realm. Her strength had increased by more than two times.
"Bang!"
Amidst the loud noise, a figure fell from the sky and into the forest. The heavy impact created a cloud of dust.
"I don't accept this!"
In the mess, the person slowly stood up. It was Situ Yun, Gonggong's son, Gou Long, who had been subdued. He brushed off the dust on his body and said angrily, "Leader said that she wouldn't use the power of the Immortal Golden Body, but she said that she used it just now."
In the sky, Lin Muyu stood in the wind and said with a smile, "I didn't want to, but you are too strong."
"No, I want to fight again!"
Gou Long was born arrogant and didn't want to admit defeat. His personality was completely different from the four great witches, but it was this unwillingness to admit defeat that made his cultivation so profound that he was above the four great witches.
It was also because of this that Lin Muyu chose Gou Long as her opponent. Only a strong opponent could stimulate her strong potential.
However, Lin Muyu's strength had improved too quickly over the past year. She had broken through from the 87th Grotto-Heaven stage to the 90th Grotto-Heaven stage, and her strength had undergone a qualitative leap. The strength of her divine power had nearly doubled, causing Gou Long, who was initially confident of winning, to be at a disadvantage. A year ago, Gou Long was still on par with Lin Muyu, but now, he was losing more than he was winning.
Especially in recent times, Gou Long had never won a single match.
"How dare you!"
On the crown of a distant tree, Goumang was lying on it. He frowned and said, "The leader is stronger than you. Why are you not convinced? Even if you use your strongest ninth attack, you still won't be a match for the leader. Why are you still not convinced?!"
Ju Long gritted his teeth. "I don't care, I just can't accept this … Leader, please be the judge. The Shapeless Elephant Technique is a secret technique of the Realm Beyond Heavens. It's vigorous and surging. You have a huge advantage, so it's normal that I can't win."
"So, what do you want?" Lin Muyu squinted her eyes and smiled.
"Unless … unless the leader is willing to teach me the Formless Elephant Spell and the Star Spell, I will never be convinced!"
"Look at how useless you are!" Goumang flew into a rage from afar and almost cursed out loud.
Lin Muyu laughed and said, "Gou Long, are you finally willing to submit to the leader of the Jiuli Tribe? If you are willing, then I will consider teaching you the first level of the Formless Elephant Spell. "
Gou Long was stunned. After a few seconds, he knelt on both knees and said, "Gou Long … Gou Long greets the leader. Gou Long will be loyal to the leader for the rest of my life. I also hope that the leader will not be stingy and teach me the martial arts technique of the Realm Beyond Heavens."
This was the first time Gou Long had officially acknowledged Lin Muyu as his master. It was truly rare.
The corner of Lin Muyu's mouth rose. She said, "Good, good, good. Get up first."
"Yes, the leader is willing to teach me the Formless Elephant Spell?" Gou Long was overjoyed.
Lin Muyu thought for a moment and said, "The Formless Elephant Spell is a secret technique that Celestial Emperor Fuxi taught me. Without his permission, I can't teach you everything. So … I can only teach you the first level of the Formless Elephant Spell. When I meet Celestial Emperor Fuxi in the future and get his permission, I will teach you everything I know. What do you think?"
Gou Long nodded repeatedly. "Good. It's worth it to be able to see its profundity. Thank you, leader!"
"Sit down and remember the chant."
"Yes!"
…
Just like that, Lin Muyu started teaching Gou Long the Martial Technique. Goumang, who was beside her, stretched and went back to sleep. Goumang had always been an Ancestral Wizard who stood aloof from worldly affairs. He didn't care about secret techniques. His Heavenly Dao was something that Xiaoyao had stumbled upon unintentionally. He definitely didn't want to seek for anything. Instead, he was somewhat similar to Qu Chu.
When the sun was setting, a powerful aura rushed over. It was Tang Xiaoxi, who had delivered the meal.
The bamboo basket was filled with dishes, and the aroma assailed everyone's nostrils.
Lin Muyu flew over and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Are you not going back tonight?" Tang Xiaoxi asked unhappily.
"Yes … I want to comprehend the power of the ninth reincarnation cycle of the Star Incantation as soon as possible. This will take some time, and I need to concentrate. Once I go back, I'll put all my attention on you and Xiao Yin. I won't be able to concentrate on my cultivation. It's because you two are so beautiful!"
Her words made Tang Xiaoxi happy. "Humph, you're such a sweet talker!"
Tang Xiaoxi took out the bowls and plates and placed them on a smooth stone. She said, "Mu, Sister Xiyan might leave the 64 domains in advance after some time."
"What's wrong?" Lin Muyu was surprised.
"In the past year, she has almost cultivated to the Perfection Realm. A few days ago, she returned to the 99 Heavenly Caves. Moreover, there's nothing in the 64 domains that needs her. So, Sister Xiyan plans to return to the Broken Cauldron Realm first and wait for us there. Moreover, Sister Xiyan left the Western Divine Realm because she was tired of killing and conquering. In the end, you dragged her into the chaos of the 64 domains again."
Lin Muyu felt a little guilty. "Yes, that's because we needed her power too much previously. But it's different now. You, me, and Xiao Yin's power is enough to deal with any situation. However, why did Sister Xiyan return to the Broken Cauldron Realm alone?"
"She said … she wants to build a wooden house in the mountains, circle a grassland, raise a few rabbits, pick peach blossoms in spring, peach blossoms in summer, plum blossoms in winter, and chrysanthemums in autumn … Anyway, that's what she said."
Lin Muyu looked forward to it. She said, "This kind of peaceful life is really enviable. If that's the case … after we end the war between the Broken Cauldron Realm and the Immortal Realm, you, me, and Xiao Yin will build a wooden house next to Sister Xiyan's. We'll raise a bunch of rabbits and live a peaceful life. What do you think?"
"Okay, okay …" Tang Xiaoxi's eyes were full of little stars.
Goumang and Goulong were both dumbfounded. Goulong said, "There are many kinds of relationships in the mortal world. Leader is really good at picking up girls …"
Goumang smiled faintly. "Do you think the Formless Elephant Art is the only thing you need to learn from Leader? You can learn it slowly. It's enough for you to use for the rest of your life … "
Goulong grinned. "But Uncle, we are gods. We are existences that have eliminated the seven emotions and six desires."
"Nonsense!"
Goumang said. "Even gods can be lonely and lonely. Don't you envy Leader and Miss Xiao Xi and Xiao Yin for being immortal companions?"
"Well, I do."
"That's why I said you need to learn more. Look at what you've done in the past. You have sixty-four concubines in the Heaven Devouring Realm, but did any of them treat you sincerely?"
"Definitely not. I've never treated them sincerely."
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."
Goumang walked forward, picked up his chopsticks, and sat opposite Lin Muyu. As they ate, he asked, "Miss Xiao Xi, how's the preparation of the Dragon League's troops?"
Tang Xiaoxi blinked and smiled. "Senior, don't worry. The reorganization is basically complete. There are more than 60,100 and 42 Immortal State experts. They are divided into four big legions. Each legion has 15,000 people. They are led by Feng Zhan Lin, Nangong Lie, Murong Tianxing, and Zhulong respectively. So, Senior Goumang, you're free now."
"That's great." Goumang smiled. "What does Leader plan to do with the sixty thousand Celestial Race troops!?"
"Quell the chaos in the Four Great Divine Realms."
Lin Muyu's voice was very calm. She said, "The Northern Divine Realm and Western Divine Realm have ulterior motives. The Demon Emperor is alone, so I have to help him turn the tide. And to be honest, Big Brother Demon Emperor has fought for so many years and built up the reputation of the Eastern Heaven. But the more he fights, the less his strength is. In terms of personal strength and prestige, Big Brother Demon Emperor is the strongest in the Four Great Divine Realms. But in terms of war and strategy, he can only be considered …"
As he said that, he raised his pinky.
Ju Long and Goumang burst into laughter. There was probably no one in the entire Eastern Divine Realm who would dare to say such things about the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor. Only Lin Muyu could.
After the meal, Lin Muyu stood up majestically. "Ju Long, prepare to continue training."
"Yes, Leader."
Tang Xiaoxi watched from the side with a smile. She also wanted to know what realm Lin Muyu's cultivation had reached. And Lin Muyu already had a plan in mind. There was still one year left in the sixty-four domains. During this time, she had to continue making breakthroughs and reach at least the 95th level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. That way … with the three great advantages of the Supreme Godhead, Formless Elephant Art, and Immortal Golden Body, even experts at the peak of the 99th level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm might not be able to do anything to her.
…
Meanwhile, in the Celestial Pole Continent.
Xiao Pass, an important boundary between the Celestial Empire and the Blackstone Empire. This pass was guarded by fifty thousand troops from the Celestial Empire. In addition, both sides had stationed nearly two hundred thousand troops on the east and west sides of Xiao Pass.
At dusk, the cold wind swept through the pass, blowing the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
A general dressed in golden armor stood tall and lofty as he stared at the west side of Xiao Pass with a profound gaze. There was a person riding on a horse that was leaving a trail of dust in his wake. He held the war flag of the Northern God Realm in his hand and there was an image of a snow bear on the war flag. It was the unique symbol of Dong Ming's family.
"They're here …" The general said shakily. "Within a month, they destroyed the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire. Now it's finally our turn …"
The general on the side turned pale. "Your Highness Dongcheng Wang, are we going to fight or make peace?"
"Act according to the situation."
"Yes!"
At this time, the envoy stopped and said loudly, "People of Xiao Pass, who has the final say?"
Dongcheng Wang jumped up and stood on the battlement. He said majestically, "Me."
"Who are you?"
"Dongcheng Wang, the monarch's uncle."
"Oh, it's Your Highness Dongcheng Wang. My apologies!" The envoy laughed. "His Majesty Chen Yu actually sent Your Highness to guard Xiao Pass. He really thinks highly of our Northern Divine Realm!"
