Things were getting more and more interesting.
Li Mu was really puzzled.
Other people knew who their parents were the moment they were born.
In any case, he was a big shot in the cultivation world. Why was it so difficult for him to figure out his background?
The Queen Mother of the West stared at Li Mu.
The question just now made her suddenly feel that perhaps this young man was not as short-sighted as she had imagined.
But she still shook her head.
"I can't tell you anything. If you want to know the truth, you have to find out for yourself."
She looked at Li Mu and said, "But, let me give you another piece of advice. If I were you, I would never stay here. If I left the Heavenly Dao Palace, you would have plenty of chances to find out the truth."
Li Mu frowned.
"So, are you suggesting that I join the Dao Master Alliance?"
He asked.
Queen Mother of the West shook her head. "The Dao Venerate Alliance is also in danger."
Li Mu frowned.
He hated guessing riddles the most.
This was especially so when the other party clearly knew the answer to the riddle. As long as he said the riddle, everything would be revealed. However, the other party just had to give the so-called hints bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste.
This was very annoying.
In fact, most of the time, the so-called hints could easily be misleading.
"Then … what about the Ascendants?"
Li Mu asked again.
Xi Wangmu hesitated for a moment before saying, "The degree of danger might be slightly lower than that of the Heavenly Dao Union and the Dao Sovereign Alliance."
Li Mu was a little speechless. "That is to say, the entire Middle Three Heavens is a dangerous place for me?"
The Queen Mother of the West said, "You can understand it that way."
Li Mu was rather speechless. He asked, "What on earth am I? How can the three forces target me at the same time?"
The Queen Mother of the West did not say anything.
Obviously, this was the final answer to the mystery.
She did not intend to tell Li Mu.
Li Mu asked a few more questions in a roundabout way.
The final answer did not satisfy him.
He couldn't unravel the riddle that he wanted to know.
Li Mu sat outside the coffin and thought for a long time. Finally, he asked another question, "Do you want to go out?"
The Queen Mother of the West stared at Li Mu.
Li Mu added, "Do you want me to save you?"
In the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, there was a hint of excitement.
But in the end, she shook her head.
"Even if I go out now, I won't be able to do anything, let alone change anything."
She said indifferently as if mocking herself.
Li Mu resisted the urge to pull the Queen Mother of the West out of the ice coffin and forcibly pry open her head to see the structure of her brain. Then, he took a few deep breaths.
"I will stay."
Li Mu made a decision. "I want to stay in the Heavenly Dao Palace and investigate the truth."
He slowly stood up.
"If you have thought it through and have any other crucial information that you want to tell me, you can get the experts from the Heavenly Dao Palace who are guarding the Tower of Punishment to contact me at any time. I look forward to our next meeting."
After Li Mu said that, he turned around and walked out without waiting for the Queen Mother of the West's reply.
This trip to the Heavenly Law Punishment Tower was not as smooth as he had imagined.
But for Li Mu, he did gain something.
At least, the Queen Mother of the West's words indirectly confirmed some of Hua Xiangrong's words.
These two people, who didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him at the moment, both stated the same thing.
If he continued to stay in the Heavenly Dao Palace, he would be in danger.
And this danger, according to the Queen Mother of the West, obviously came from Immortal Master Mu Yun.
The behavior of the six sovereigns, six emperors, and the people of the Heavenly Dao Palace convinced Li Mu that they were not lying.
If what they said was not the truth, there was only one explanation —
The story that Immortal Master Mu Yun told the six sovereigns and six emperors was a lie from the very beginning.
However, Immortal Master Mu Yun was such a righteous person, so why would he lie?
If Li Mu Yun was a Taoist Body created by Immortal Master Mu Yun with the Great Way and the Source, then there were only two purposes for his creation —
The first was to nurture a successor or something like that.
The other was to forge a brand-new body for himself and then possess it.
The first speculation was based on Immortal Master Mu Yun's personal grade.
The second speculation was based on Immortal Master Mu Yun's own cultivation or the fact that there was something wrong with his body.
But what Li Mu couldn't figure out was that even if it was the second speculation, it didn't mean that Immortal Master Mu Yun's personal quality was bad. First of all, he didn't possess others. Second, the things he created, like the magic instruments or elixirs he refined, were all for his own use. Was there anything to criticize about that?
Therefore, even if Immortal Master Mu Yun's purpose of creating him was to possess him, there was no need for him to hide it.
Given the fanatical belief of the six sovereigns and six emperors, as well as the seriousness of the matter itself, it was not a negative factor for Li Mu Yun at all. He believed that the six sovereigns and six emperors would definitely support all the decisions made by Immortal Master Mu Yun.
So, what on earth was the problem?
Li Mu had a big question mark in his mind.
He still believed in Immortal Master Mu Yun.
That was his intuition.
And Li Mu couldn't find any solid evidence to refute Hua Xiangrong and the Queen Mother of the West's words.
Therefore, he chose to stay.
No matter how dangerous it was, he would stay in the Heavenly Dao Palace.
He was sure that he could definitely find the answer in the Heavenly Dao Palace.
"Patter, patter."
The sound of Li Mu's footsteps clearly rang out in the ice cell of the Heavenly Dao Punishment Tower.
"Wait a minute."
The Queen Mother of the West suddenly spoke.
Li Mu whipped around.
"What? Are you willing to tell me the truth about what happened? "
Li Mu asked.
The Queen Mother of the West said, "Remember, don't leave the jade pendant. Once you are in danger, wear it and come to the Heavenly Dao Punishment Tower to find me."
Li Mu looked at her for a long time and nodded. "Okay."
He turned around and left.
In the ice cell, the light gradually dimmed.
The eternal and lonely darkness gradually drowned the Dark Ice Coffin of the Cloud Rock.
Only the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West glowed faintly in the darkness.
It was not until Li Mu's figure was completely submerged in the distant darkness that she sighed softly.
"This day has finally come. Who on earth will have the last laugh in the competition between the two masters?"
She sighed quietly.
…
Outside the ice cell.
"That's all. Let's go."
Li Mu said.
The Dragon Emperor took down the torch on the wall and led the way.
Very soon, they arrived at the winding icy stone steps.
They walked up the steps.
The wind was howling.
Lightning flashed across the darkness.
After walking for about half an hour.
The Dragon Emperor finally couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, how was your talk with that female prisoner?"
Li Mu said, "She didn't want to say more. She just told me to stay away from the Heavenly Dao Palace. Otherwise, I'll be in danger."
"That bitch!"
The Dragon Emperor couldn't help cursing.
"Back then, the Immortal Master's father treated her well. Her status was already above ours. But in the end, her desire and ambition swallowed her up. At the most critical moment, she lost her mind.
At the most critical moment, she betrayed us … Young Master, this woman is a despicable viper. You can't believe her words. "
The Dragon Emperor looked extremely indignant.
Even with his cultivation and status, he still couldn't help saying such words. It could be imagined how angry he was at the Queen Mother of the West.
Li Mu walked behind and nodded. "I know. I won't be fooled."
In the darkness.
The Dragon Emperor held the torch and walked slowly.
Li Mu followed behind.
The light enveloped the two of them and blocked the ice wind.
At the top of the Heavenly Dao Punishment Tower.
The Dragon Emperor opened the door as usual.
Rumble!
The wind and snow swept out from the door.
Li Mu and the Dragon Emperor came out.
The light reappeared in front of them.
Li Mu let out a long sigh of relief.
"Mu, how was it?"
Li Bai was the first to rush over and ask.
Shaking his head, Li Mu put on a wry smile and said, "That woman refused to say anything. She just said some alarmist words." Then, Li Mu roughly told him what the Queen Mother of the West had said, except for the unimportant ones.
"All the three camps want to hurt you?"
Li Bai couldn't help laughing. "It seems that that woman is really crazy."
"This matter has come to an end for the time being. When will the second deduction of the Heavenly Dao be carried out in the Star-observing Mansion?"
Li Mu asked.
Li Bai looked at the Dragon Emperor and the others.
"I don't know how Gui Guzi and Liu Ji, the two Pillar Gods, have discussed with Star Emperor and Star Emperor. I guess the conclusion will come out tomorrow."
Song Emperor said.
Li Mu nodded and asked again, "Is there anything else that I can help you with?"
The Dragon Emperor and the others hurriedly said, "No, there is nothing else to do in the Heavenly Dao Palace for the time being. Young Master, you can stay here and practice. If you need anything, just tell us. We will try our best to satisfy you."
Li Mu said, "That is to say, everything can only continue after the Immortal Master comes out of closed-door training, right?"
The Dragon Emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Young Master, please wait patiently."
The group returned to the Laurel Hall.
After talking with the Dragon Emperor and Li Bai, Li Mu began to practice in closed-door training.
No matter whether it was really dangerous or not, it was always right to improve his strength and self-protection ability.
Since the Dragon Emperor had spoken, Li Mu didn't hesitate.
He immediately drew up a rough list of natural treasures that could be used to enhance one's cultivation and speed up one's cultivation.
Li Mu had the cultivation of his previous life as a foundation. In this life, as long as he had enough energy, he could improve his realm without any bottleneck.
And the response from the Heavenly Dao Palace was really fast.
Almost in a few hours, Li Mu's cultivation needs were met.
All kinds of Natural Treasures were provided in full.
It could be seen that the Heavenly Dao Alliance was really rich in the Middle Three Heavens.
Li Mu carefully checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the provided cultivation resources. Then, he immediately began to practice in closed-door training.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Immortal Master Mu Yun still hadn't come out of closed-door training.
And Li Mu's cultivation finally entered the Celestial Emperor Realm.
This was a qualitative leap.
After entering this realm, Li Mu's combat strength was already comparable to that of a Celestial Sage.
This meant that Li Mu could fight against any of the Six Sovereigns and Six Emperors or the 36 Pillar Gods alone. Even if his strength was not low, he could easily escape and not be killed.
Li Mu's confidence increased a little.
And also on this day, Li Bai brought news that the second deduction of the Heavenly Secret could finally be carried out.
