Li Mu had never thought that one day, Hua Xiangrong would think of "someone else".
Looking at the sometimes bright and sometimes dim light in Hua Xiangrong's eyes, Li Mu didn't speak but just sat quietly beside her, breathing in the fragrance of her body and slightly tilting his head to look at her.
The two of them sat quietly for the whole night.
The next day, Li Mu began to cultivate.
The Taoist Master Mountain was also one of the most excellent paradises in the Middle Three Heavens, and the effect of cultivation there was better than in the ascenders' camp.
Hua Xiangrong guarded Li Mu on the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
Li Mu's cultivation was consolidated in the middle stage of the Immortal Sage Realm.
He was only two small realms away from the Immortal Emperor Realm.
But time was still too tight.
Moreover, he couldn't just focus on speed.
The Immortal Sage Realm was a step by step, and each step must be a solid foundation.
Breaking through to the Immortal Emperor Realm was also a big hurdle.
Many amazing geniuses, who could beat all their peers, might be stuck at the last step of the Immortal Sage Realm.
Li Mu had the experience of his previous life, so he wouldn't take a detour.
But he still had to be careful.
However, on the third month and the first day, Hua Xiangrong knocked on his door.
Li Mu came out of the state of meditation.
"The Tiandao Alliance and the ascenders' camp have sent news that they want to discuss the meeting of the three sects. The venue is set at the Celestial Ascension Platform in ten days."
Hua Xiangrong handed over two invitations.
After reading them, Li Mu knew what she meant.
She wanted to incarnate as "Taishi Tao Master" and go on behalf of the Taoist Master Alliance.
Because in this meeting, the leaders of the ascenders' camp and the Tiandao Alliance, the top figures, would show up.
If there were no top figures in the Taoist Master Alliance, there would be problems.
After reading the two invitations, Li Mu nodded and said, "When do we set off?"
Hua Xiangrong said, "Five days later."
Li Mu said, "Okay, I'll get ready."
In the next few days, Li Mu didn't cultivate again.
Instead, he began to refine broadswords.
After getting the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Li Mu began to re-evaluate the value of the God Whipping Whip.
In his previous life, he used the God Whipping Whip to devour all kinds of immortal weapons with a secret method, trying to refine them into his own unique weapon.
When he reincarnated, the Deity Striking Whip came with him.
When he was strong enough, he could already activate it.
Now, he was refining it again.
Five days passed in a flash.
Li Mu finished refining the broadsword.
With the new long saber in hand, he was confident that he would be able to fight against the black figure with ease. He would not be as embarrassed as he was that day.
"Let's go."
Riding on his flying broadsword, Li Mu took Hua Xiangrong away from Dao Master Mountain.
The Third Ancestor stayed behind to guard the mountain.
They flew for four days.
Along the way, the entire Middle Three Heavens was withering.
The plants withered, the rivers dried up, and the lakes turned black.
The sea was like stagnant water, and the seawater had turned the color of thick ink.
Countless immortals who'd been invaded by demonic energy had turned into corpse demons, roaming the wilderness like zombies in Resident Evil.
When it was almost the fifth day, they finally arrived at the Tower of Ascension.
The so-called Ling Xian's Terrace was actually a mountain.
This mountain was extremely strange.
From the foot of the mountain to the peak, the diameter was the same. It was like a cylinder that was inserted between heaven and earth.
There were no trees on the mountain.
There were also no birds.
The red rocks were like solidified flames.
At the top of the mountain was a chessboard-like platform.
It seemed to have been cut by an immortal with a sword, leaving a flat surface as smooth as a mirror.
The Broadsword Qi broke through the air.
Li Mu landed with Hua Xiangrong.
He had activated the remains of Tao Master again.
His aura was exactly the same as that of Taishi Tao Master.
On the top of the mountain, there was already a figure.
In the north, surrounded by white holy clouds and mist, a figure was looming.
In the west, Sun Fei, Ding Hao, and Ye Qingyu, the three peerless masters, appeared together.
As soon as Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong showed up, many eyes suddenly fell on them.
"Long time no see, Tao Master. How have you been?"
From the white clouds and mist, came a gentle laughter, like a spring breeze.
Li Mu said calmly, "How have you been?"
This person must be Immortal Master Mu Yun.
However, not long ago, didn't the Tiandao Alliance just announce to the public that it was Taishi Tao Master who attacked Tiandao Mountain? How could it be years?
"That day on Tiandao Mountain, I misunderstood Tao Master," Immortal Master Mu Yun said. Immortal Master Mu Yun said, "From the looks of it now, the evil spirits of the Upper Three Heavens have already infiltrated the Middle Three Heavens. I'm afraid they were the ones who caused trouble that day, and their goal was to incite war in the Middle Three Heavens. I was caught off guard and fell into their trap.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Mu said.
"Today's meeting is to forget about the past and only ask for the way forward."
Ye Qingyu said.
"Yes, the Middle Three Heavens is facing a great calamity. If we don't get rid of it, you and I will both be the ones to face it. Today's meeting is to discuss how to join forces to deal with this calamity."
Immortal Master Mu Yun said.
Li Mu said, "We have to enter the Upper Three Heavens."
The other magnates also nodded.
Immortal Master Mu Yun said, "I have an incomplete map of the Upper Three Heavens."
Ding Hao said, "I've gathered all the Heaven Repairing Stones. After entering the Upper Three Heavens, we can block the entrance to prevent demons from entering the Middle Three Heavens through our way."
Ye Qingyu said, "I've found the safest entrance to the Upper Three Heavens."
Sun Fei looked at them and crossed his arms, saying, "I can help you fight."
The others: "…"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "I can fight too."
Hua Xiangrong: "…"
The others: "…"
There was a moment of silence.
"Okay." Immortal Master Mu Yun said, "The Upper Three Heavens is full of dangers. We have to join forces to have a chance. As for the candidates to enter, besides us, we have to think about it. Everyone, come up with a list. If there are no objections, we will decide today."
No one had any objections.
In fact, the reason was very simple.
The top magnates of the three forces must advance and retreat together.
Otherwise, any one of the people left behind would have the power to eradicate and conquer all the people of the other factions who had stayed behind. Wouldn't the entire Middle Three Heavens have changed by the time the others returned after they had painstakingly dealt with the calamity? Wouldn't that be a joke?
Moreover, the more top magnates there were, the greater the hope of solving the calamity.
Soon, the list of the three forces was finalized.
The list of the Taoist Master Alliance was drawn up by Hua Xiangrong.
Li Mu saw her name on the list.
He casually crossed out the name.
However, Hua Xiangrong shook her head and simply added her name.
Li Mu glanced at her.
Hua Xiangrong looked determined.
Li Mu thought for a while and didn't insist anymore. He sent the list into the void.
The three lists were all suspended in the air.
Each name was shining with golden light.
There were ten people on each list.
The three forces carefully looked at the names on the list and didn't raise any objections.
Li Mu saw the name "Yang Hui" on the list.
Yang Hui, a graceful name.
That was the name of the Queen Mother of the West.
His heart skipped a beat.
But he didn't raise any objections.
The alliance meeting went very smoothly.
Because the Middle Three Heavens had really fallen into a state of abyss of suffering.
There was no time to wrangle with each other.
"Everyone, go back and get ready. This trip is not ordinary. Let's meet here in a month."
Ye Qingyu said.
The crowd left one after another.
The plan had been decided, and all parties had to go back to make the final preparations.
On the way back, Li Mu withdrew the remains of the Tao Master and didn't speak again.
After returning to Dao Master Mountain, he went into closed-door training again.
The affairs of the alliance were naturally left to Hua Xiangrong.
It took Li Mu four months and 20 days to finally push his strength to the peak of the Celestial Sage Realm.
Then, he focused his attention on the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
