The entire space on the first floor was filled with a majestic and compassionate aura.
Even the most ferocious and tyrannical person would feel guilty in such an environment.
At the same time, the four huge god statues released boundless golden light. Their huge eyes matched with their facial expressions. No matter where one stood on this level of the pagoda, they would feel like the four god statues were staring at them.
"Huh?"
Li Mu suddenly felt that the four statues seemed to have come to life.
"Full of sins."
"Stained with blood."
"Slaughtered countless people."
"Still not repenting?"
Four voices suddenly roared in Li Mu's ears.
Rumble! Rumble!
The four statues walked down from the wall and stepped on the ground, causing the space to shake.
Li Mu opened his eyes.
Eight beams of divine light completely enveloped Li Mu.
All the gods and Buddhas on the first floor of the pagoda seemed to be chanting at this moment.
An indescribable horrible pressure pressed over from all directions.
Li Mu's heart slightly palpitated.
It seemed that many things he had experienced in his early years were about to emerge.
He also felt that those creatures who had died in his hands couldn't wait to jump out of his mind.
"Is this a test of the heart?"
Li Mu looked indifferent.
He always did things according to his will and was never bloodthirsty.
Those he killed all sought the path of death.
Therefore, he would not feel guilty at all.
"Back off."
Li Mu snorted.
The chanting of the deities and Buddhas in the surroundings disappeared in an instant.
The four statues also returned to the four walls.
All the strange phenomena disappeared.
Li Mu looked calm.
He looked around and found the stairs.
Following the stairs, he came to the second floor of the pagoda.
The space on the second floor was slightly smaller than that on the first floor.
It was empty inside.
There were some daily necessities such as stone beds and stone chairs.
The lighting was also very good.
It looked like a very simple bedroom, which was not connected to a prison.
There were also various statues on the surrounding walls. They were all legendary gods and Buddhas.
There were also some scriptures.
Nothing happened.
Following that, every level up was a simple small space, each different from the others. Some of the spaces had green lamps and ancient Buddha statues, some had ponds and lotus flowers, some had rockery, pavilions and terraces … All of them were like places for vacation, small and exquisite, looking extremely beautiful, giving off a feeling that the Great Dao was the simplest.
The only pity was that there were no windows, so there was no light from outside.
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, which was said to be able to suppress all kinds of demons and ghosts in myths and legends, amazed Li Mu.
The first six levels were said to be able to suppress all demons and ghosts, but they were so ordinary that they couldn't even be considered a prison.
What about the seventh floor?
Li Mu followed the stairs to the seventh floor.
The first six levels of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda could suppress demons.
The seventh level could suppress immortals.
Li Mu came to the seventh floor with longing for this Heaven Realm treasure.
The moment he stepped out of the staircase, the scenery in front of him changed.
Earth fire spewed out and thunder rumbled.
It was a vast space.
He did not know where it ended or where it ended.
In the middle of a sea of lava, a thick and heavy pillar was erected.
It was thousands of meters tall.
Burning with fire.
The pillar was still slightly wriggling.
If he looked carefully, he would find that it was not the pillar that was moving.
It was some kind of creature wrapped around the pillar that was moving.
A living creature?
Li Mu was delighted.
Now he could be sure.
The familiar summoning aura that he felt before was emitted from the creature wrapped around the pillar of fire.
Li Mu observed for a while and found no traps or restrictions in the East Domain, so he quickly approached.
At this moment, something strange happened.
Suddenly, in the sea of lava, a large blood-red wave of fire surged.
Two giant bright red statues emerged from the depths of the lava.
They were two human-shaped statues.
One of their heads was hundreds of meters tall.
They quickly surged out of the scarlet magma of unknown depth and stood on top of it.
They were thousands of meters tall.
He was clad in armor and held a sharp weapon in his hand. It was a typical image of a heavenly general.
"Who are you?"
"Those who trespass the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda will be killed without mercy."
A loud voice came from inside the statue.
Then, the surface of the Heavenly General's statue cracked, and pieces of rock fell from the outer layer into the magma, splashing up hundred-meter-tall waves of flames.
Two Immortal Generals, who were burning with flames, floated out of the statue.
Their appearance was exactly the same as that of the statue.
Both of them wore crimson armor, and a red ribbon fluttered behind their necks. One of them held a spear in his hand, while the other wielded a pair of maces. Both of them were tall and sturdy, like a giant spirit. Their expressions were imposing even without being angry. Powerful auras spread out, causing the flames and lightning in this space to become even more violent.
Li Mu was shocked.
These two Immortal Generals were not weak.
At least, it would be difficult for him to defeat them with his current cultivation.
Just when Li Mu was weighing the pros and cons, another unexpected change occurred.
The eyes of the two Divine Generals blazed with dazzling light. When they fixed their eyes on Li Mu, astonishment appeared on their faces at the same time.
Soon, this shock turned into awe.
In awe, there was a kind of undisguised worship.
"General Jia Luo (Jia Lan) pays respect to the emperor."
The two quickly shrank to the size of a normal person and knelt in the air in front of Li Mu.
Such a change dumbfounded Li Mu, who was originally very calm.
"What's going on?"
"The emperor?"
"Why do I feel that these two Immortal Generals seem to have mistaken me for someone else?"
Li Mu did not rush to deny it.
He was thinking.
"What the hell is going on?"
"After waiting for thousands of years, I finally see the emperor return. How lucky I am."
"Today, I see the emperor again, and I can die without regret."
The two knelt in front of Li Mu, slightly trembling because of excitement, and their voices were filled with undisguised awe and worship.
Li Mu still did not speak.
It was not that he was afraid of being seen through.
But he felt that the two Immortal Generals did not seem to have mistaken him for someone else.
With their cultivation, even if they had mistaken someone else's face, it was impossible for them to mistake the aura of Cultivation Method or the aura of the origin of life.
"So …"
"Am I really an emperor?"
Li Mu's thoughts began to wander.
He was a little confused.
He thought that with the appearance of Li Lin and Xue Rui, his identity had been very clear.
Unexpectedly, there were more twists and turns.
Of course, Li Mu was not doubting that Li Lin and Xue Rui were his biological parents.
Instead, he was thinking about the identity of his previous life before reincarnation. What was it?
Since he experienced the reincarnation of the immortal ancient giant door, Li Mu began to think about the existence and meaning of reincarnation.
While thinking, Li Mu did not speak, but walked step by step towards the giant fire pillar in the center of the magma sea.
As he got closer, he could clearly see that it was a dragon wrapped around the fire pillar.
It was a scorched black charcoal, barely maintaining the general shape of a dragon's body.
On the fire pillar, colorful flames kept bursting out, roasting the dragon.
The dragon's body twisted and trembled, trying to struggle, but it was tied to the fire pillar by the flickering golden chains on the surface. It could not break free at all, and could only be constantly roasted and suffer the pain of being burned.
The punishment of burning.
Such a word suddenly came to Li Mu's mind.
In ancient China, a tyrant, King Zhou of Shang, created the punishment of burning.
He burned the copper pillar until it was red, and then tied a living person to it and roasted him to death.
It was a terrible punishment.
Just thinking about it made people shudder.
This dragon, which was at least 10,000 meters long, was wrapped around the fire pillar. Most of its body had been charcoal, and even a lot of scales had fallen off. It looked extremely miserable.
It twisted its body, struggled to look back, and looked at Li Mu.
"You're finally here …"
It looked at Li Mu and said, "I've waited for you for five thousand years. You should keep your promise and return my freedom."
"How dare you!"
"How dare you!"
The two Immortal Generals Jia Luo and Jia Lan immediately scolded.
This demonic dragon actually dared to make a request to the supreme God Emperor.
Li Mu waved his hand.
The two Immortal Generals hurriedly stepped back and did not dare to say another word. They bowed their heads and knelt down.
"Who is it? What mistake did it make to be imprisoned here? "
Li Mu asked.
He didn't have any psychological burden of being seen through. The question was very obvious.
"Your Majesty, this demonic dragon used to be the Dragon King of the past. Because he angered you, he was imprisoned in this Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and had to endure the pain of being burned by fire for ten thousand years. The two of us were ordered by you to guard the Inferno Prison and suppress this demonic dragon."
Immortal General Jia Luo hurriedly answered.
"The Dragon King?"
Li Mu understood.
In the myths and legends, the dragon race was a powerful and intelligent race.
It was comparable to the gods.
The king of the dragon race was even more powerful.
However, Li Mu hadn't figured out whether this Dragon King was one of the Four Sea Dragon Kings or had nothing to do with the myths at all.
"Back off."
Li Mu said.
The two Immortal Generals didn't dare to hesitate and quickly retreated. Their figures slowly sank into the magma and disappeared.
Li Mu came to the bottom of the fire pillar.
"Have I ever made a promise with you?"
Li Mu asked.
The Dragon King roared angrily, "What do you mean? You are a Celestial Emperor. Are you going to go back on your word? "
Li Mu said, "Oh? Is that so? Which Celestial Emperor am I? You tell me. "
"You …"
The Dragon King twisted his body violently, extremely angry.
"Celestial Emperor of the North Star Upper Palace, are you playing dumb? You … Eh?"
The Dragon King's roar suddenly stopped.
Soon after, he seemed to have gotten to know Li Mu all over again. His pair of dragon eyes were like two enormous dark green pearls as he stared at Li Mu. After a careful look, he said, "As a dignified Emperor, you have actually entered reincarnation. I was wondering why you would appear here in advance … What exactly happened outside?"
"What a Dragon King."
"He saw through me."
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.
"If the Dragon King saw through me, the two Immortal Generals must have also seen through me."
But they weren't shocked. Instead, they looked delighted.
"Could it be that the two Immortal Generals actually know about reincarnation?"
Of course, that wasn't what shocked Li Mu the most.
Celestial Emperor of the North Star Upper Palace!
Those were the words that shocked Li Mu the most.
