The ape was a coward. When the saber was placed on its neck, it immediately became as timid as a dog. With a flattering smile, it obediently led the way.
Well, it had met its nemesis today.
As soon as Li Mu's Third Eye swept across, all its tricks disappeared.
Moreover, its speed, which it was proud of, could not outrun Li Mu's Broadsword-commanding Skill.
It was simply a natural enemy.
Leading Li Mu, the ape cautiously came to the depths of the dilapidated Taoist field.
Some signs of living beings could be seen in this area. Obviously, it was the ape's "home". However, it did not look as tidy as the other areas. At first glance, Li Mu knew that the ape was a poor single dog.
Under the guidance of Li Mu's saber, the ape cautiously bypassed a tree and finally came to the bottom of a cliff. It moved two withered trees away and revealed a stone door. The ape kept yapping and pointing at the stone door, meaning that the treasure was behind the door.
How could Li Mu be fooled?
He forced the ape to open the stone door.
Behind the door were several spacious and bright stone rooms. The luminous pearls hanging on the dome could illuminate and dispel dust, so the whole stone room was almost spotless. A hall in the middle was connected to several other stone rooms. Li Mu saw a purple bookshelf on the inside of the hall, on which there were sutras, pen holders, scrolls, and bamboo slips, all of which were antique and full of the aura of seclusion. In addition, there was a hemp rush cushion on the ground, which seemed to be sitting on …
"What's in there?" Devil Li asked fiercely.
The ape cried, "Whoa, whoa, whoa …"
Li Mu raised his hand and gave it a good beating. Then, he said, "Speak human language."
The golden ape: "# ¥% …"
"Oh, I forgot that it can't speak human language."
Li Mu changed his approach and said, "Go in and take out the treasure for me."
The ape hurriedly shook its head, looking extremely frightened. It waved its hands and made some gestures, indicating that there was danger at the entrance of the stone room.
"What the hell … You let me in if there's danger …" Li Mu raised his hand and gave it a few more blows.
The ape kept yapping and begging for mercy.
Li Mu pondered for a moment. "It seems that this guy has been beaten to a pulp. It doesn't seem to be deliberately tricking me. Could it be that its strength is not enough to get in, but with its strength, it can give it a try?"
But the problem was, what was in this stone chamber?
Was it worth the risk?
To be honest, Li Mu was not short of Cultivation Methods and treasures.
What he practiced was the Star Sea Cultivation Method, so he could refine his weapons by himself. The old faker once said that there was no such thing as a savior or an immortal emperor. He had to rely on himself for everything … Well, it seemed that it was the old faker who said that. Anyway, under the influence of the old faker, Li Mu rarely made any risky investment that he was not sure of.
However, there was a high possibility that this was Patriarch Subhuti's place of enlightenment.
The stone chamber in front of Li Mu was located at the highest point of the mountain in the Taoist Sanctum. If Li Mu took a closer look, he would find that this area was actually the best place in the whole Taoist Sanctum if it were not for the fact that the ape, the lazy and single dog, was trampling all over the place. The stone chamber was permeated with a sense of simplicity and simplicity. It was definitely not the residence of an ordinary person. Perhaps it was the resting place of Patriarch Subhuti.
Li Mu's eyes were fixed on the books and bamboo slips on the bookshelves in the stone chamber.
"What if it's true?"
Thinking of the Somersault Cloud and the 72 Transformations … Li Mu drooled in disappointment.
Then, without hesitation, he kicked the ape into the door of the stone chamber.
Crack! Crack!
A series of densely packed lightning bolts appeared at the entrance of the stone room. The Golden Mountain Ape's body was instantly struck by the lightning bolts, causing its golden fur to turn pitch-black. A faint smell of meat permeated the air. Then, the ape screamed as it was ejected from the stone door by a mysterious force.
"There's a thunder restriction?"
Li Mu's eyes lit up.
So many years had passed, and yet the restrictive spell was still in perfect condition. Didn't that mean... that the item in the stone chamber was still perfectly preserved? At the very least, it was one of the more precious items in the entire Daoist rite temple. Otherwise, the restrictive spell in the other places wouldn't still be in perfect condition, while the spell in the other places was still intact.
Li Mu's saliva flowed more happily.
He was really envious.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa …" The ape groaned and lay at the door of the stone chamber, twitching and foaming at the mouth, as if it had smoked too much and was suffering from epilepsy.
Li Mu squatted down to take a closer look and found that the ape was only a little dazed by the electric shock. Its muscles were twitching, but in fact, it was not seriously injured.
In other words, the thunder and lightning in the stone chamber was actually not that terrible.
The ape's physical body was very strong. It could kill many Celestial Beings with its physical strength alone. But compared to Li Mu, it was still not as strong. Since the ape could keep an eye on it, it meant that Li Mu could also survive the thunder and lightning. It was about a five-meter-long corridor from the stone door to the stone chamber. Even if Li Mu moved inch by inch, it would only take him 10 minutes to finish a cup of tea. For Li Mu, it was not a big problem to withstand such a long thunder and lightning.
In that case …
Li Mu smiled and began to take off his clothes.
That was all that was left in his storage jade pendant. Of course, he could not afford to be struck by lightning. Otherwise, he would have to walk out of the Everlasting Heaven naked, which would be a great humiliation. That was because he was known as a Semi-Sage, Lord Taibai of the Western Qin Empire. If he was seen running around naked, it would not take him more than half a day to be known as a pervert on the Divine Land … Just thinking about it made him feel terrified.
After taking off his clothes, Li Mu did not wear the grass skirt, because it was meaningless.
He stretched his legs and walked to the door of the stone chamber.
The ape was twitching and foaming at the mouth as if it had been poisoned.
Li Mu reached out his hand and touched the stone door. As he expected, dense electric arcs appeared, but he only felt numb instead of painful. For Li Mu, the power of thunder and lightning of this level posed no threat at all. Hence, he turned his head to look at the twitching ape. Then, with the Samsara Knife in his hand, he strode into the stone door.
In an instant, the thunder and lightning hit him.
An extremely numb feeling came. Smoke came out of Li Mu's mouth. He was in severe pain, but he could still hold on. Step by step, he slowly moved toward the depths of the corridor.
With every step he took, the pressure of the thunder and lightning would increase a little.
Li Mu felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his flesh.
But he could still hold on.
He walked forward step by step.
Right at that moment, the ape that was twitching and foaming on the ground suddenly jumped to its feet. It wiped the foam off the corner of its mouth and became lively again. It did not look weak at all. Looking at Li Mu in the corridor, it squeaked and grinned.
Li Mu heard the noise and looked back. His heart skipped a beat.
"Sh * t, I've been tricked."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa …" The ape gloated. Then, it lifted a few big stones and threw them at the stone door again.
"Rumble!"
When the stone door was smashed by the stone, a strange Dao pattern immediately appeared. Then, the lightning arcs in the corridor instantly became many times more terrifying. It was as if a perfect storm had suddenly swept over a sea that was already surging with wind and waves. It immediately turned into a tempestuous wave that wanted to engulf everything.
"Fu * k …" Li Mu only had time to curse. His mouth was full of thunder and lightning. His tongue was so numb that he could not speak.
Thousands of electric arcs pierced into Li Mu's body and penetrated his internal organs.
He immediately convulsed on the spot and trembled as if he had a stroke.
Outside, the ape was gloating. It jumped up and down. "Finally, it got its revenge."
However, while laughing, it suddenly widened its eyes and froze on the spot.
Because Li Mu had been convulsing in the corridor for a while. His nose, mouth, and ears were all emitting electricity. His limbs were shaking like sifting chaff, but he could still move forward step by step. Surprisingly, he resisted the power of the lightning and kept approaching the hall.
The ape was shocked.
Then, it panicked.
Because there was really a treasure in the stone room. It had coveted it for years and tried every means but failed to get it.
But it did not expect that the abominable human could really resist the most violent bombardment of the thunder talisman on the stone door.
The ape watched helplessly as Li Mu moved bit by bit with a few weird movements. Eventually, it took him half an hour to get out of the corridor.
The lightning in the corridor disappeared in an instant.
Li Mu stood in the hall of the stone chamber. His whole body was pitch-black. His hair had turned into flying ash, his scalp was scorched black, his eyes were red, and his mouth, nose, and ears were emitting black smoke. With a slight movement, a layer of his skin turned into a charred shell because of the carbonization, cracking and falling, revealing the steaming fresh meat inside …
He felt as if he had been roasted in an electric oven.
…
At this time, Li Mu was indeed half dead.
Who would have thought that the ape, a drama queen, was so good at acting?
He almost failed miserably.
But fortunately, he made it through.
Fortunately, he had the body-refining method of the Zhenwu Boxing. At the last moment, Li Mu relied on the movements of the first four styles of the Zhenwu Boxing to hold on. Moreover, with the lightning in the corridor, Li Mu benefited from the disaster. His body was tempered to a higher level, and he finally mastered the fourth style of the Zhenwu Boxing, Grasping the Bird's Tail. He had mastered it thoroughly and broken the shackles that he had been unable to break through before.
Li Mu ran the Xiantian Skill. The natural qi flowed around his body. In less than half an hour, he had healed the burns caused by the thunder and lightning.
He felt as if he had been reborn.
The power in his body had increased by many times.
Li Mu stretched his body. Ignoring the ape that was stamping its feet and wailing outside the stone gate, he ran straight to the bookshelf in the hall and opened the first book. The three ancient seal characters on the cover made him tremble all over. He was so excited that he almost couldn't breathe.
The Somersault Cloud!
"Is this the Somersault Cloud, the secret cloud-riding skill that Great Sage Sun could use to fly 108,000 miles with one somersault?"
"Is it really Old Master Puti?"
