Boom!
The door of the outer courtyard of the cave residence was closed.
Li Mu was the only one left in the huge courtyard and the cave in the depths of the courtyard.
Li Mu looked around casually.
The courtyard was extremely simple, with broken stone tables and chairs, potholes on the ground, no plants, and no signs of life. The whole world was like a black and white world covered with a layer of gray. When he entered the cave residence, it was also empty, not even a rush cushion.
Li Mu saw a skeleton sitting in the middle of the cave. Obviously, it had been dead for a long time.
In an environment like the Fallen God Abyss, even the corpse of an expert in the Dao Master Realm could not be preserved intact after death and would soon decay.
Li Mu did not care about this.
He cleaned up the cave residence, and then carved formation patterns at the entrance of the cave residence, inlaid a few pieces of fairy crystals to maintain the operation of the formation, to serve as a warning and to isolate the aura, and then began to cultivate in seclusion.
At the critical juncture of cultivation, it was possible for martial arts experts to cultivate in seclusion for years or even decades. Half a year passed in the blink of an eye and was not a big deal.
Although Li Mu had used Emperor weapons in the battle against Lin Yuquan and Bai Ruyun, he had also gained a lot.
At this time, it was time to properly sum up the gains and losses.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
Li Mu had made some progress in his reflection. He walked out of the cave residence and casually moved around in the small courtyard.
"The laws of heaven and earth in the Fallen God Abyss are not only incomplete, they are almost non-existent. It is completely impossible to break through to a higher realm. There is no spiritual energy in the air, and it is impossible to gather spiritual energy. If there are no immortal crystals or spiritual stones, one can only face the wall and reflect on one's misdeeds. If one stays in such an environment for too long, one's realm will probably decline and his cultivation will be consumed."
He pushed open the stone door of the courtyard and walked out.
Less than ten meters outside the door was the bottomless black abyss.
Above his head, it was also dark.
The Astral Wind whistled like the laughter of ghosts.
Li Mu stood on the edge of the cliff for a while, and his expression gradually changed.
He actually had a feeling that his mind was in a mess, and a chill gradually invaded him, causing him to vaguely feel somewhat gloomy.
"It seems like this Laughing Ghastly Astral Gale is destructive to both the Divine Sense and the physical body."
Looking down at the abyss, all he could see was darkness. He could not see anything clearly, but he could vaguely hear even more terrifying roars. Li Mu recalled what Jian Kuang had said, that there were terrifying demonic creatures roaming the Fallen God Abyss. Even Jian Kuang used the word 'terrifying', which showed the lethality of the demonic creatures.
No wonder the military would treat this place as a place to punish criminals.
The next six months were supposed to be a crucial period for Li Mu to prepare and improve his cultivation in preparation for the upcoming Holy Battle. Yet, he was sent to such an unsuitable place for cultivation. He believed that the Thunder Path Ancestral Mountain must have played a trick on the Council of Ten Elders, and some other forces in the army added fuel to the fire.
"Fortunately, I have the Heart of Stars, so I don't have to worry about cultivation at all."
Li Mu withdrew his gaze from the abyss and prepared to return to Courtyard Seven.
Just then —
Sou sou!
A faint sound of something tearing through the air could be heard.
Several stealthy auras were approaching Li Mu's location.
Li Mu frowned and did not move.
In the darkness, the figures gradually became clearer. They maintained a distance of about a hundred meters and could not be seen clearly.
"Newcomer?" A slightly hoarse voice came from the darkness.
Li Mu did not reply.
"Indeed a newcomer." The hoarse voice had a hint of mockery in it. "The people who have just arrived here have a common characteristic, and that is that they don't understand the situation and can't let go of their status outside. They are very stubborn and unwilling to cooperate, hehe!"
Li Mu suddenly smiled faintly. "Cooperate with what?"
He had already used his Third Eye to see clearly that there were five people around him. Four of them maintained a distance of a hundred meters, and the last person, who seemed to be the leader, was hidden beside a rock 150 meters away — a distance of a hundred meters was exactly the visual distance of a person who had fallen into the Fallen God Abyss. The other party was obviously very cautious.
Almost without guessing, Li Mu knew that these five people should also be prisoners imprisoned in the Fallen God Abyss.
Unlike Li Mu who only faced the wall for half a year, most of the prisoners used to be vicious people. Even if they were not imprisoned for life, they would easily be imprisoned for hundreds of years. Perhaps there was no hope of getting out, so they gave up some hope. Gradually, all kinds of complicated relationships were born, forming a new Jianghu.
"If you are a smart person, hand over half of your fairy crystals. I promise, at least for a moment, no one will disturb you again. Otherwise … hehe."
The last two words of the hoarse voice were full of threat.
Li Mu smiled faintly.
"Haha, is that so? Unfortunately, I don't have the habit of giving away my fairy crystals. If you are a smart person, get out of my way and don't disturb me again, otherwise … hehe. "
"Look at your handwriting, you are not smart. What a regrettable choice. "The person hidden behind the rock said coldly.
Li Mu's heart stirred.
Swoosh!
A Broadsword Intent cut through the air and directly chopped the rock in the distance into powder.
"Next time, it will be your head that I chop off."
The divine light of the Emperor Fire flowed in his eyes, piercing through the darkness. His eyes were like two light swords, illuminating the figure hidden fifty meters away.
"Haha, hahaha!"
The person in the distance not only was not surprised, but burst into laughter.
Laughter surged around.
"Stupid newcomer, soon, you will regret it."
"Those who are targeted by us, the Yin Wind Five, will either die or kneel in the end."
"Haha, wait and see."
The five figures flickered, retreated amidst the harsh laughter, and disappeared into the darkness.
Li Mu did not pursue.
He could feel that these people should have used some kind of special cultivation method to completely compress and seal the true yuan energy in their body to avoid wastage and consumption.
After all, in the Fallen God Abyss, even the existence of Quasi-emperor level, for every use of true yuan, there was no way to make up for it. And if a cultivator lost too much true yuan, the most direct result was a drop in cultivation realm and a reduction in lifespan, which was extremely miserable.
The encounter just now made Li Mu realize one thing.
The rules of Jianghu in the Fallen God Abyss did not seem to be calm.
Because there was no Spiritual Qi in the air, if one wanted to cultivate or maintain their cultivation realm, they could only rely on Immortal crystals and Spirit Stones. In order to compete for cultivation resources, there were many cases of people taking risks out of desperation.
It seemed that he had been targeted by some people.
Li Mu returned to the cave residence and continued to cultivate.
— —
About a kilometer away from the seventh courtyard, in a cliff crevice, five people gathered together.
"This is a big fat sheep, unexpectedly using Immortal crystals to support the operation of the formation, he must have a lot of Immortal crystals on him."
"We got lucky."
"But it seems that his strength is not weak."
"The old way, first exhaust him, wait until more than half of the true yuan in his body is consumed, then deal with him. If he doesn't obey, then kill him."
"If he really has a lot of Immortal crystals, I'm afraid it won't be easy to consume them."
"It doesn't matter, he just came here and is not used to the environment here, so we will use the old way first. Hehe, in terms of physical strength, how can a newcomer compare to us."
— —
"So, you won't care about this kind of thing?" Li Mu asked conclusively.
The guard who had just failed to extort a bribe glanced at Li Mu contemptuously and sneered, "How can we care about the trivial matter of mortals fighting each other? You settle it yourselves, just try not to kill anyone... Haha, boy, you're so insensible, good luck. Even if you have great power outside, in this Fallen God Abyss, hehe, it's useless."
Li Mu nodded. "Then I'm relieved."
"Don't care?"
"For the best."
"In this way, I can do whatever I want."
The guard looked at Li Mu coldly. He had seen a lot of unruly newcomers like him. At first, they were very arrogant, but in the end, they were taught a lesson by those veterans and had to kneel more accurately than anyone else. Those who were really stubborn would rather die than live.

"What? Senior wants to accept me as a disciple? "
Hua Xiangrong looked at the old man in front of her in surprise.
"This is the first time we met."
The master of the Taoist Palace explained with a smile, "Miss, you have a special physique, which is compatible with my Wuwei Great Way. You can be my successor. What do you think?"
"This …" Hua Xiangrong hesitated for a moment.
"You old guy, while my good disciple is not here, you want to kidnap my daughter-in-law." The old faker teased with a smile, and then said to Hua Xiangrong, "Girl, you can agree. This is not a loss. The old Taoist's Wuwei Great Way has its profound meaning, which is most compatible with your Natural Taoist Figure. Even if Li is present, he will also agree."
Hua Xiangrong still hesitated and said, "Do you want to ask Brother Mu?"
The old faker hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The Fallen God Abyss forbids contact with the outside world. Li is going to break up with the Human Clan Military Headquarters, so we can't complicate things. Even if it's a show, we have to do it well. Don't contact him. Girl, haven't you always wanted to help your Brother Mu? Having a master with a thick thigh is the greatest help. "
The master of the Taoist Palace said, "I believe you will not stop me if you know."
Hua Xiangrong no longer hesitated and bowed. "Disciple Hua Xiangrong pays respect to Master."
The master of the Taoist Palace laughed.
Up to now, the Taoist Palace had quite a few successors, and their aptitudes were excellent, but they were not good enough to inherit the Taoist Palace's mantle. Later, he saw Li Mu and was amazed by his talent. He once had the idea of accepting Li Mu as a disciple, but before he could say it, Sword King and Li Mu had become sworn brothers, and he and Sword King were friends of the same generation, so it was not appropriate to accept Li Mu. More importantly, Li Mu's Taoist Heart was competing, and the meaning of Broadsword Way was in killing, which lay in the dazzling attack when the broadsword was unsheathed, which was completely different from the Taoist Palace's profound mental cultivation method. Li Mu had already walked half of the road, and it was not appropriate for him to turn back and walk again.
Until today, the master of the Taoist Palace was invited to East Star Village to cooperate with the old faker to lay the formation and build the foundation for East Star Village. As a result, he accidentally saw Hua Xiangrong and felt the strange aura of the Natural Taoist Figure. After careful observation, he was suddenly shocked and felt that this woman was more compatible with the Taoist Palace's Great Way than Li Mu. He regretted not meeting her earlier. If he had known, he would have come to East Star Village earlier.
Even with the Taoist Palace's state of mind and cultivation, he could not wait and directly proposed to accept her as a disciple.
Looking at Hua Xiangrong who finally became his disciple, the master of the Taoist Palace was overjoyed.
On the other side, the Taoist Green Bull did not know whether to laugh or cry. If it were not for the old faker who helped to say a few words, the master could successfully accept a disciple. Otherwise, the master of the Taoist Palace, the first holy land of the human race, almost failed to accept a disciple. This matter would probably shock countless people.
