"Everyone is here?" Lin Muyu brushed off the snow on his shoulders and said with a smile.
He was still wearing autumn clothes, but it was already winter.
"Come!"
Situ Xue was meticulous. She took a leather robe embroidered with golden purple flowers from the servant and handed it to Lin Muyu. She said with a smile, "Madam, put it on. It's winter again this year. Although you are a God State cultivator, you still need clothes to keep out the cold."
"Thank you, Ah Xue."
Lin Muyu accepted it gladly. She turned around and put on the robe. It was indeed much warmer.
Everyone stood in the same place happily. Only Tang Xiaoxi stood alone in the snow. She still didn't know how to face Lin Muyu, and the knot in Lin Muyu's heart had not been untied.
But it was different this time.
"Let's go back to Heaven Connect City?"
Lin Muyu touched her stomach and said, "I haven't had a good meal in the Ghost Domain for almost a month. Shouldn't you have prepared delicious food to entertain me?"
Wei Chou chuckled, "Your Highness, rest assured. Every night at midnight, General Xue ordered the Spiritual Fire Department to prepare a table of good dishes. It's just that Your Highness didn't come back until today. That table of good dishes has been taken advantage of by us."
"Haha, let's go."
Lin Muyu walked straight out of the forest. When she passed by Tang Xiaoxi, she inadvertently held her hand and whispered, "Why are you still in a daze? Let's go back and eat something delicious."
"Oh …?"
Tang Xiaoxi was happy and puzzled. She let Lin Muyu hold her hand.
"The scenery of the Ghost Domain is not bad, right?" Lin Muyu suddenly asked.
"It's alright …"
"How is Xiao Yin now?"
"She …" Tang Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and said, "She asked me to tell you that you have to take good care of yourself and wait for her to come back … Mumu, you don't blame me?"
Lin Muyu turned around and smiled. She looked straight at her and said, "Ouyang Yan told me that you were bewitched by Yaoji and killed Xiao Yin. I don't blame you. Now that you have saved Xiao Yin's life, I can't thank you enough. Now, you are still Tang Xiaoxi and I am still Lin Muyu. Let's wait for Xiao Yin to come back. Before she comes back, we have to work together to protect this family."
"Yes!" A smile appeared on Tang Xiaoxi's face. A huge stone had finally been lifted from her heart. This was the first time she had smiled so happily since she had returned from the Devil Race.
Lin Muyu squeezed her hand tightly. All this while, Tang Xiaoxi had been under a lot of pressure. How could he not know that? In fact, Tang Xiaoxi's life was even more difficult than his. Now that there was finally hope, he hoped that … everything could return to the good old days!
"What is Xiao Yin's next reincarnation?" Lin Muyu mounted the horse and asked.
Tang Xiaoxi rode another white horse and said, "Asura Path."
"Asura Path?"
"Yes."
"What is Asura?"
"Hunters who walk in the Three Realms. They are neither human nor ghost nor god. The Five Ghost Emperors said that Asura is good and bad. They are born to hunt."
"I see …" Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "What comes after the Asura Path?"
"The last reincarnation, the Heavenly Dao. As long as Xiao Yin survives the Heavenly Dao, she'll be able to form a true body of flesh and blood and return to the Three Realms." Tang Xiaoxi was moved. "But the Five Ghost Emperors also said that Xiao Yin will forget the past, whether it's the Asura Path or the Heavenly Dao. This is her own cultivation, and no one else can control it."
"I understand …" Lin Muyu clenched his fists. All these years, he'd been forced to do things against his will. Although he had the disposition of a supreme being, there were too many things he couldn't control. This was probably fate. Some things were destined to go with the flow, and couldn't be forced.
… …
Skyspan City, King Qin's Mansion.
It was brightly lit and bustling. Almost all the commanders and Captaincy generals in the Longdan Army Camp were present. Even the administrative officials of Skyspan Province and Lingdong Province were gathered to celebrate the return of Lin Muyu, the King of Qin.
Lin Muyu didn't drink. He only ate meat. He was one person short of eating a deer. Tang Xiaoxi and Chu Yao just watched him eat with smiles on their faces. This was also a form of enjoyment for them.
"Xiao Xi, I brought you a gift."
"Oh, what is it?"
Lin Muyu took out a book from her Cosmos Sack with a swoosh. It was a black ancient book, and its surface was enshrouded with a faint ghostly aura. Lin Muyu moved her fingers lightly, and the pages of the book flipped open. The azure blue light was dense, and immediately, a chill spread out in the originally warm and harmonious main hall. Everyone looked over at the same time, and they were all dumbfounded.
"What … what is this?" Tang Xiaoxi was stunned.
Lin Muyu said, "This is the Ghost Book of Nether Springs. I got it from the Ghost Emperor of East Unicorn. It's an extremely Yin and soft magic tool, and also a type of weapon. However, my physique isn't suitable for using this book, so take a look. If you like it, I'll give it to you. As long as you use it properly, the Ghost Book of Nether Springs can greatly increase your strength."
Tang Xiaoxi reached out and touched the pages of the book. Immediately, a powerful Yin Qi surrounded her palm. She couldn't help but cry out in surprise. She immediately transformed into her Nine-tailed Form. With a swish, raging flames flew up, and a pair of golden eyes stared at the Ghost Book of Nether Springs. Tang Xiaoxi's fingers were wrapped in raging flames, and she resisted the Yin Qi in the book.
"Could something have happened?" Chu Yao was forced back several meters, and she looked on worriedly.
"No." Lin Muyu shook her head, and said confidently, "This is Xiao Xi and the Ghost Book of Nether Springs communicating."
"Oh?" Chu Yao was doubtful. Tang Xiaoxi looked like she was about to fight. How could there be such a communication!
But in reality, Tang Xiaoxi was indeed communicating with the Ghost Book of Nether Springs with a kind of power. This was a process of recognizing its master. If Tang Xiaoxi's godly power wasn't enough to make the Ghost Book of Nether Springs submit, then she would lose the right to use the book.
As a result, the raging flames became more and more biting cold. Even a fiery red Spirit Pearl of Law danced around Tang Xiaoxi's body. She actually took out a Spirit Pearl of Law!
Lin Muyu was secretly shocked. After not seeing her for a long time, Tang Xiaoxi's strength seemed to have increased a lot. Ouyang Yan and Qu Chu both said that only the first three grades of Godhead could condense Spirit Pearl of Law. It seemed like Tang Xiaoxi's Godhead had already broken through to the Cast Immortal Godhead!
Finally, after about ten minutes, the light of the Ghost Book of Nether Springs began to dim. Small beads of sweat appeared on Tang Xiaoxi's forehead. She quickly closed the Ghost Book of Nether Springs and put it into the spatial bag at her waist. She said with a smile, "Thank you, Mu, I like this gift very much!"
"It's good that you like it!"
Lin Muyu sat down again as if nothing had happened. Wei Chou, Chu Yao, Situ Sen, and the others were a little speechless. Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi's cultivation was far beyond their reach. These two freakishly strong fellows' casual words perhaps represented a realm that they would never be able to reach in their entire lives.
At this time, Chu Yao said softly, "Half a month ago, Lanyan City sent a letter saying that they found a descendant of the Seven Seas Tang Sect. That person's name is Tang Zong, the illegitimate son of the Seven Seas King, Tang Lan's second son, Tang Jing. He is Tang Bin and Tang Lu's half-brother, and will be conferred the title of Northern Duke in five days. Ah Yan and Su Yu wrote that if you can make it, it's best if you bring Xiao Xi back to Lanyan City to participate in the conferring ceremony. After all, as the King of Qin, you should be present."
"So … Big Brother Feng will also return to Lanyan City in five days?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
"En." Chu Yao nodded vigorously.
"That's great, I also happen to have a gift for him." Lin Muyu said excitedly.
But Chu Yao's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of disappointment.
Lin Muyu saw it clearly and hurriedly said with a smile, "Big Sister Chu Yao, I risked my life this time because I really don't have time to go shopping and buy gifts for you because most of the gifts I brought back are bloody. I believe you don't want them either …"
Chu Yao chuckled. "I'm very happy that you have this kind of heart!"
"By the way, where's Grandpa Qu Chu?"
"He went into the mountains to collect herbs these two days. You don't have to worry about him. Just go and do your thing."
"En."
Lin Muyu looked at the crowd and said, "How is everyone these days?"
Situ Sen cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I haven't made any progress in the cultivation of Star Tactics. I hope Your Highness can take some time to teach me."
"En, no problem. Where's Wei Chou?"
Wei Chou said happily, "Your Highness, I've stepped into the Sanctuary-realm under Qu's guidance."
"Great, that's great." Lin Muyu slapped her thigh and said, "All of you need to step into the Sanctuary-realm soon. I don't want to be in my twenties while all of you are doddering old men. That would make me very sad."
Everyone laughed loudly.
At this time, Lin Muyu thought of something and said, "Wei Chou, I have a Demon God Divinity here. If you don't mind … I can help you refine this divinity and start to nurture the Divine Power in your body to speed up your cultivation. But there will be a certain degree of danger. Are you willing?"
Wei Chou was overjoyed and he cupped his fists and said, "I'll listen to Your Highness's arrangements!"
"Great!"
Lin Muyu's idea was very simple. It was the method used by the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor back then. She injected a strand of Divine Power into a mortal's body. As long as the mortal's body could withstand it, the Divine Power would be very beneficial and could even help him step into the Immortal State in advance!
… …
At night, the side hall was filled with a piercingly cold light. Lin Muyu took out her Treasure Cauldron and started refining the Demon God Divinity. The Demon God Divinity was roughly the same grade as the Heavenly Dao Divinity. It wasn't too strong, but with Lin Muyu's Supremacy Divinity, it was definitely able to suppress it. Although the refining process was difficult, it was still a success. When the sun rose, the Demon God Divinity had already dissipated. More than 70% of the Divine Power was lost. Close to 10% of the Divine Power was absorbed by Wei Chou and the remaining 20% was refined by Lin Muyu.
When the sun rose, Wei Chou sat cross-legged on the ground. He could already guide the Divine Power to circulate in his body.
Lin Muyu clenched her fists and waves of energy surged through her body. A total of 21 Heavenly Caves. So she had also broken through to the 21st Heavenly Cave Realm!
The cultivation of the Immortal State couldn't be rushed. The right path was to improve bit by bit.
… …
"Many thanks, Your Highness." Wei Qiu opened his eyes and said with a face full of joy. There was a hidden divine light in his eyes.
"You're welcome."
Lin Muyu kept the Treasure Cauldron and suddenly asked, "Wei Chou, how is the matter of building a naval fleet going?"
"I and the Navy Commander Baili Cang are already working on it. However, building a shipyard costs too much money. So for the time being, the shipyard in Lanyan City is only building warships. Please rest assured, Your Highness, there won't be any battles on the sea for the time being. Those clowns from Yihe Nation are not a threat at all."
"Mm, don't be negligent. We must build a naval fleet that can sweep across the sea as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu didn't know why she always wanted to build a naval fleet, but she just couldn't feel at ease. She had a feeling that the current Imperial Navy was like the Northern Seas Navy. Once a new enemy appeared on the sea, the Imperial Navy would not be able to withstand a single blow!
