Li Mu couldn't believe this conclusion.
He carefully translated it again according to the translation, and the conclusion he got was still the same.
The Deathless Celestial Emperor's legacy was indeed banished to the Ziwei Star Zone before his death.
What shocked Li Mu most was that it also included how to break the barrier of this world and go to the Ziwei Star Zone — the Deathless Celestial Emperor had secretly left a tactical deployment altar somewhere. As long as the altar was activated, a space-time gate could be opened.
Li Mu was overjoyed.
After he came to this world, the biggest problem he had was how to return to Earth after finding Wang Shiyu's soul.
Now it seemed that the problem had been solved.
The route to the tactical deployment altar was depicted on the dark golden paper.
Complete!
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
The Deathless Celestial Emperor also mentioned the way to integrate the Nine Serenities Soul-Devouring Fire in this letter.
He believed that Drifting Cloud Wuxin and Drifting Cloud Wufeng had the way to integrate the divine fire.
Drifting Cloud Wuxin said that he got half of it, so he believed that Drifting Cloud Wufeng got the complete one.
However, the Deathless Celestial Emperor clearly mentioned that if he perfectly integrated the Nine Serenities Soul-Devouring Fire, he would have a chance to become an emperor, but he had to take the path of forging weapons. There was a special note in the letter. The Deathless Celestial Emperor himself did not integrate the Nine Serenities Soul-Devouring Fire, but he still succeeded.
"The heart is not enslaved by appearance, and the will is not enslaved by material things. Only then can one be free. There is another world above the emperor …"
This was a sentence in the divine text.
Li Mu looked at this line of words and pondered for a long time. Then, he suddenly gave up the idea of integrating the Nine Serenities Soul-Devouring Fire.
This was an intuition.
This intuition told Li Mu that it was not a good choice for him.
The Deathless Celestial Emperor also became an emperor without integrating the Nine Serenities Soul-Devouring Fire. Now, he had the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing, as well as the White Sword Sutra of Sword King, which was an Emperor-level sword manual, so there was no need to take a shortcut by integrating the Nine Serenities Soul-Devouring Fire.
"I can consider looking for the inheritance of the Immortal Heavenly Emperor. Anyway, I will return to the Zi Wei Galaxy and Earth sooner or later." Li Mu thought to himself, "But before that, I must find Jeono Shiyu's soul. This is the most important thing. Moreover, I promised the master of the Holy Zhi Palace that I would represent the Holy Zhi Palace in the Sacred War. There is still one year left …"
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he found that he didn't have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the earth. He thought he could wander freely in Jianghu, but his schedule was still full.
Was this what it meant when one was in the Jianghu, one's actions were beyond one's control?
In the next few days, Li Mu stayed in the Green Bamboo Fairyland to practice the White Sword Scripture and transform the sword into a broadsword.
On the tenth day, Drifting Cloud paid a visit to the Holy Zhi Palace.
Accompanying him was the Flowing Cloud Family's pillar of support, the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage.
The news about the "resurrection" of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage had already spread within a certain range. The Holy Zhi Palace had also received the news. After all, he was a living legend in the world, so they welcomed him with great importance. It was said that even the master of the Holy Zhi Palace had met the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage.
After that, under the leadership of the Taoist Green Bull, the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage and Drifting Cloud Sword Sage came to the Green Bamboo Fairyland to meet Li Mu.
"My little friend, we meet again." The Flowing Cloud Sword Sage was in high spirits. His essence, qi, and spirit had been restored to the peak. He had the demeanor of a master.
"Senior, you have fully recovered. Congratulations." Li Mu cupped his hands.
"Master." A young man with black hair and a thin face came up to Li Mu and saluted.
Li Mu had long seen that he was Drifting Cloud Sword Sage, who had completely consolidated his cultivation in the Tao Master Realm. After breaking through the realm, his lifespan was extended, and his qi and blood were abundant, which made him return to his youthful state.
This was the benefit of being a martial artist.
"My cave residence is rough and simple. I don't have anything good to entertain you. Please forgive me." Li Mu entertained the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage in the courtyard at the entrance of his cave residence. He took out the fine wine of the Holy Zhi Palace that the Taoist Green Bull had brought before.
The Flowing Cloud Sword Sage did not take it seriously and said, "My little friend, you don't have to do this. I'm here to repay you for your great kindness to my Flowing Cloud family. Here are some small gifts to express my gratitude. Please don't refuse them."
He handed over a gift list.
Li Mu did not refuse. He opened it and saw that it was written, "A divine broadsword, Towering Snow, a set of precious armor, Shuanghua, 100,000 fairy crystals, and nearly a hundred servants and fairy maids."
"It's really a big deal."
Li Mu said straightforwardly without thinking, "I'll take the broadsword, the armor, and the fairy crystals. As for the other servants and fairy maids, please take them back. I'm a martial artist, and I can't indulge in a luxurious life."
The Flowing Cloud Sword Sage said with a smile, "I knew it would be like this. Then I'll do as you say."
After a short pause, he continued, "Although the Liu Yun family has fallen, it is still a millennium-old family. We have some resources and channels. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask. The Liu Yun family will do our best."
Li Mu said, "I'm flattered. I just want to complete the training task of the Military Ministry. Your generous gifts have already made me feel ashamed. How dare I trouble you with other things?"
The Flowing Cloud Sword Sage smiled and began to discuss martial arts with Li Mu, especially swordsmanship.
This was to Li Mu's liking.
He had just practiced the White Sword Sutra. Although he had achieved the basic level, he still benefited a lot from the exchange with the king of swordsmanship like the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage.
They sat down and talked about swordsmanship for three days and three nights.
Three days later, the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage rose to his feet and said with great emotion, "My young friend, you are really a talented man. You have an unparalleled talent in swordsmanship. It's a pity that you have to practice broadswordsmanship. If you give up broadswordsmanship and practice swordsmanship, you will definitely become a supreme swordsmanship master in the future."
Li Mu hurriedly said, "Senior, you flatter me. I think I'm also a rare genius in practicing broadswordsmanship."
"Uh …" The Flowing Cloud Sword Sage was stunned. Then, he burst into laughter and said, "Boy, I've never seen anyone like you in my life. I've almost told you all my understanding and attainments in swordsmanship. This Flowing Cloud Sword Sutra is the result of my painstaking efforts. Although my young friend prefers broadswordsmanship to swordsmanship, I believe it will be useful to you."
He took out a brocade book made of silk, on which there were four big words on the first page —
Flowing Cloud Sword Sutra!
Li Mu was really taken aback this time.
Although the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage was not a Martial Emperor, he was known as the best swordsman outside the Hidden Sword Sea. His swordsmanship was also the most powerful one in the world. Countless people coveted it. Many sword cultivators wanted to be his disciple but failed. Even the geniuses in the Flowing Cloud Family did not win the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage's favor. So, no one got this Sword Sutra.
This was a really generous gift.
"Senior, you've already given me the divine broadsword, the divine armor, and 100,000 Fairy Crystals. But I really dare not accept this Sword Sutra." Li Mu was a thick-skinned man. Otherwise, he would not have accepted the gift from the Flowing Cloud Family without batting an eyelid. But this Sword Sutra was so valuable that Old Li could not keep his face.
The Flowing Cloud Sword Sage said,
"A treasured broadsword is given to a chivalrous man. A beauty accompanies a hero." The Flowing Cloud Sword Sage said, "You are a destined man. Sooner or later, you will open up your own path. This Sword Sutra should be helpful to you. Take it."
After that, he turned into a stream of light, soared into the sky, and directly left.
"Li Mu, I'm looking forward to your growth."
The voice of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage came from afar.
Li Mu held the Sword Sutra in his hand and bowed slightly in the direction where the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage had disappeared.
The living legend of the current generation of the Human Clan really had the demeanor of a master.
Li Mu returned to the cave residence and flipped through the Sword Sutra. Soon, he was immersed in it.
The Flowing Cloud Sword Sutra was indeed the work of a Sword Sage. Although it was not as good as the White Sword Sutra, there were many parts in it that contained the profound meaning of the Great Way. The subtleties made Li Mu slap the table and applaud it. It also complemented the White Sword Sutra. Combined with what he had learned from the three-day discussion with the Flowing Cloud Sword Sage, many questions in Li Mu's mind were suddenly answered.
"With this Sword Sutra, my path of turning swords into broadswords will be more perfect."
Li Mu was overjoyed.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Li Mu had been living in seclusion in the Green Bamboo Wonderland to cultivate.
The winter season in the Chaotic World had entered the harshest period.
On this day, Taoist Green Bull came again.
"Junior Brother Li, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Taoist Green Bull's honest and straightforward face was a little mysterious.
Li Mu said, "Haha, Taoist Green Bull, you're starting to be mischievous? Well, listen to the good news first. "
Green Bull laughed and said, "The good news is that there's news from the Hidden Sword Sea. There's a clue about the whereabouts of the girl's soul that you've been searching for."
"Really?" Li Mu was overjoyed and asked, "Where is it?"
Now, Wang Shiyu's soul would be complete with only two fragments left. His worst-case scenario was that there was no news of these two fragments, and the matter would continue to be delayed. After all, the Chaotic World was so big. Even with the help of the Taoist Palace and the Hidden Sword Sea, it was like two big nets searching for a needle in the sea. If there was no fate, it might take decades or hundreds of years. He did not expect that there would be another clue so soon.
Taoist Green Bull said, "Next is the bad news. The whereabouts of the girl's soul is not in the human territory, but in the Constellation Demon Mountain. It used to be an ancient battlefield, in a chaotic area that no one cares about. Experts of all races gather there, like a sinful pit, where some extremely vicious people gather. Many of them are on the Must-Kill List of the major groups. It's very, very dangerous."
Li Mu's heart sank.
The first thing he thought of was, if it was in such a place, would Wang Shiyu's soul be in danger?
"Thank you, Taoist Green Bull. Please tell me the specific situation of the clue now. I'll set off today." Li Mu could not wait.
Green Bull said, "The Palace Master ordered me to go to the Constellation Demon Mountain with you to help you. Let's talk on the way."
