"I want to see the artifact spirit of the Fallen Immortal."
Li Mu said.
"I know what you're thinking, but you're no match for him," the old man said.
Li Mu said, "Not to fight, but to have a look. Maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries."
He wanted to use the Eye of Flaws and the Eye of Omens to have a look. If he could find the flaws of the artifact spirit of the Fallen Immortal, he could target them.
If he was lucky, he might have a chance to win without the help of the devil broadsword.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't want to give up … Okay."
The boat broke through the void.
The water of the Celestial River, which used to be like a calm and beautiful jade belt, was now turbulent. Occasionally, there were fierce waves, and the water became turbid. Gravel, rotten wood, and dead leaves floated in it. It had long lost its former beauty.
The old man controlled the flying boat to go against the current and enter the mountains in the distance.
This mountain had been completely covered by the power of the artifact spirit of the Fallen Immortal.
The picturesque primeval forest in the past had turned into a dead petrified forest, and the picturesque scenery had turned dark and gloomy. The vitality of all things on the earth had been sucked dry. It was like a silent hell.
The boat broke through the dark mist and moved toward the depths of the withered mountains.
"It's right ahead."
A moment later, the old man pointed to a mountain in front of him that was spewing death flames.
This mountain was like an active volcano that was erupting. Dark red hot flames surged out of the mouth of the mountain and rose thousands of meters into the sky.
The kind of death aura that could devour the earth was bursting out from inside the mountain mouth.
"I can't get close to this mountain mouth. Otherwise, I will be devoured by the power of the artifact spirit of the Fallen Immortal." The old man looked at the dark red flames that were as vigorous as knife light, and his eyes showed a look of fear.
Li Mu said, "I'll go and have a look myself."
The old man hesitated and finally said, "Be careful."
Li Mu rode the knife light forward.
He went straight to the edge of the vigorous crater.
Looking down from the crater, he saw that under the crater, in the belly of the mountain, the flames had turned orange. He could vaguely feel that a powerful and terrible force was growing crazily in the depths of the mountain.
After feeling around the mountain pass for a while, Li Mu made up his mind. He directly drove the broadsword light into the belly of the mountain.
The old man's Artifact Spirit saw this scene from afar, but it was already too late to stop it.
…
…
"Milord, this subordinate is incompetent. I was unable to kill to establish my prestige."
In the Thunder Clan's encampment, Bai Rushuang, who had previously shown his ferocity and power in the arena, lit a blood-red incense stick and prayed nervously.
The dark red smoke formed a mysterious face in the air.
"Establishing your authority is secondary. What you need to do now is to quickly grasp the general situation of the Land of Immortal Ascension."
A mysterious and oppressive voice rang out in the quiet room.
Bai Rushuang hurriedly said, "I've been pushing forward with all my strength, but the effect is not as expected. That's because of Li Mu, the stumbling block. He confronted Your Excellency's power of the Immortal Way head-on, which made the other races and experts hesitate."
The voice did not respond.
Bai Rushuang gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, please bestow me with your celestial power. I'm willing to kill Li Mu in one battle. If Li Mu is killed, the Land of Ascension will be under my control."
That voice still did not ring out.
Bai Rushuang waited for a moment, but there was no response. He subconsciously raised his head.
As the fragrance curled up, the burning smoke painted four big words in the air —
Clip his wings.
A trace of haze flashed across Bai Rushuang's face.
Just clipping his wings, didn't that mean killing him?
Why did Your Excellency keep Li Mu alive?
…
"Your Excellency, the plan is going well, but the Thunder Clan is entangled in personal grievances with Li Mu. They're short-sighted and don't care about the overall situation. I'm afraid they'll ruin Your Excellency's plan."
In the encampment of Huazang Temple.
The monk was handsome and dressed in a white monk robe. He looked like he was carved out of immortal jade. Three dark red incense sticks were inserted into the black wooden fish. He bowed and reported.
"Humph, the idiot from Mount Eternal Spring chose an idiot as their spokesperson."
The fragrance curled up and was slightly hoarse. A strange sound, like the sound of an embroidery knife rubbing against a whetstone, came out in the air. It seemed to come from another world.
"Your Excellency, what should I do? Should we get rid of Li Mu? He's the biggest threat to us, "Shinsyu said.
"Wait a little longer," the strange voice said.
After a pause, the strange voice continued, "Li Mu is still useful for the time being. You should cooperate with the idiots from Mount Eternal Spring first. When the Immortal Gate opens and thousands of immortals come, you act according to the plan. At that time, Mount Eternal Spring can only be a foil for our Longevity Manor."
Shinsyu put his palms together and said, "I understand."
…
…
"Is this the spirit of the Fallen Fairy?"
In the depths of the mountain, there was indeed a boundless sea of flames.
Even though Li Mu had the Emperors' Fire with him, he still felt the heat like a knife cutting his face. He ran his Cultivation Method to resist it.
In this sea of flames, there was probably the Immortal Fire.
Ahead.
Eight gigantic crimson chains that flickered densely with immortal runes extended out of the sea of flames, locking a two-meter-tall, incomplete figure in the air above the sea of flames.
It was a human figure.
The strange thing was that the half of his body above his waist and abdomen seemed to be made of magma, hot and crimson, while the body below his waist and abdomen was flickering with a half-empty red light.
Eight Immortal Taoist Flame Chains fastened his limbs, neck, waist, and two pairs of shoulder blades, respectively, hanging him in the air. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Crack! Crack!
From the sea of flames, crimson flame whips continuously stretched out, continuously and fiercely whipping his body.
Every time they whipped, sparks sputtered.
The scene was like a falling star.
It was hard to tell whether the two-meter-high figure was a man or a woman. His long red hair was scattered, covering his face.
With his low roar, the surrounding air and light were distorted.
"Twenty days ago, he only condensed a head. Now, he is about to condense a complete body. Once his lower body also condenses into a solid body, it will be the day when he gets out of trouble and wreaks havoc on the world. "
A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Li Mu was suddenly shocked.
When he looked back, he saw that the old man's spirit had appeared not far behind him.
Looking at Li Mu's eyes, the old man explained, "I'm worried about you, little bastard, so I took the risk to come down. It's not good to stay here for a long time."
Li Mu's heart warmed and he said, "Thank you, old immortal."
He looked at the Fallen Immortal's spirit again, opened the Eye of Omens and the Eye of Flaws, and carefully observed.
But at first glance, he only felt that his eyes were as hot as flames, and he felt a sharp pain.
He couldn't see anything in his eyes.
"This beast's whole body is covered with the power of the Fallen Immortal, which can already protect itself. The imperial formation restriction set by the nine emperors in the past is almost unable to control him."
The old man's spirit said worriedly.
Li Mu said, "In that case, why not gather all the emperors' power in the Chaotic World and get rid of him? There's no need to carry on the holy war."
The holy war was to solve the disputes between the major races in the Chaotic World and to deduce the martial arts to restrain the Fallen Immortals.
Once the Fallen Immortals broke free, destruction would come, and these things would be unnecessary.
The old man said, "The speed of the awakening of the Fallen Immortal artifact spirit is far beyond the deduction of the Nine Great Emperors, and also beyond my expectation. By the time we react, it's already too late. Now, the entire Ascension Immortal Land has been enveloped by the Fallen Immortal Array. People outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. Before the Great Emperors of the Chaotic World break the Fallen Immortal Array, everything depends on us."
Li Mu endured the pain in his eyes and the vertical eye to observe the Fallen Immortal's spirit and said, "On our own?"
The old man's spirit said, "It would be best if I can borrow your devil knife. It's a rare artifact that can restrain the power of the Fallen Immortals. With the devil knife in hand, I can kill this beast. This is the best plan."
"There's a middle plan and a bad plan?"
Li Mu asked casually and curiously.
The old man's spirit said, "The middle plan is to carry on the holy war to the end. As long as the final 'first immortal among 100,000 people' is chosen, he will get the final fairy weapon reward, and then gather all the experts in the place to fight with the Fallen Immortal's spirit. With the power of the fairy weapon, there may be a chance to win."
"What about the bad plan?"
"The bad plan is to wait and see. Once the holy war can't be completed, all the experts in the place will fight to the death with the Fallen Immortals who have escaped, and then leave it to fate."
When Li Mu heard this, he felt a headache.
He knew in his heart that it should be very difficult to borrow the devil knife.
Because the place had been closed by the Fallen Immortal's formation. Even the Sword and Saber Shenhuang Ding Hao might not be able to break the formation, right?
As for the middle plan …
"Since the fairy weapon is the reward of the holy war, can't the old immortal take it out now?" Li Mu said, "If the old immortal can give the reward now, there's no need to wait until the end of the holy war, right?"
The old man's spirit smiled helplessly and sighed.
"Only the 'first immortal among 100,000 people' can get the fairy weapon reward. This is the most primitive rule of the Reincarnation Fairy Ball, and I can't destroy it. Even if the Fallen Immortal's spirit awakens, it must follow the rules of the Reincarnation Fairy Ball. Therefore, only the 'first immortal among 100,000 people' can take out the fairy weapon."
He said.
Li Mu thought for a moment and told him about his doubts about the Thunder Clan and the Buddha Clan. "It's very likely that they have colluded with the Fallen Immortal's spirit."
The old man's spirit looked ashamed and said bitterly, "This is my fault. My momentary negligence allowed the Thunder Tao Ancestral Mountain and the Huazang Temple to secretly collude with the Fallen Immortal's spirit. It's also because of their insiders that the Fallen Immortal's spirit can recover so quickly."
Sure enough.
Li Mu cursed under his breath.
To be honest, the old immortal was dereliction of duty.
"It's not just the two holy lands of the Human Clan. The Demon Clan, the Feather Clan, and the Heavenly Devil Clan all have evil believers of the Fallen Immortal's spirit." The Fallen Immortal's spirit said, "So, if you can defeat and kill all these evil believers of the Fallen Immortal in the next holy war, then it will be much easier for us to achieve our middle plan."
