Li Mu was dumbfounded.
He was all too familiar with these two lines of the poem.
Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" was extremely long, and there were even more uncommon words in it. In class, he was stared at by the language teacher to memorize it, and his brain almost turned into mush. If he could memorize the entire "Li Sao", he would be a monster.
Among them, the phrase 'The road ahead is long, but I will seek it from top to bottom' was a popular saying that had been passed down for thousands of years. It was used to describe a positive and enterprising attitude. In the words of Li Mu's language teacher, it was to seize the opportunity to find the right way to solve the problem.
That line was too famous.
Many times, it was regarded as a motto by many young people.
Li Mu also liked it.
But why did it appear on the nine-story black altar of the Yue Mountain Faction?
Li Mu pondered for a moment and recalled what the crown prince had said on the Flying Whale Shuttle. He vaguely mentioned that the Yue Mountain Faction was a remnant of the Great Moon Empire. Then, he recalled what Yu Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire, said in the battle of Longcheng Pass.
Li Mu almost jumped to his feet.
"Is the Yue Mountain Faction founded by Qu Yuan, the founder of China's romantic poetry on Earth?"
Li Mu was stunned at that time.
According to historical records, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River with a stone when the capital of Chu State was breached. Later, there were legends that Qu Yuan became the river god and created the Dragon Boat Festival. People threw dumplings into the river to feed the fish so that Qu Yuan's body would not be eaten by the fish … Well, anyway, there were all kinds of legends. In all aspects, Qu Yuan was in line with those Earth sages mentioned by Yue Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire.
After all, later generations called Qu Yuan "Qu Zi".
"No, that's not right."
Li Mu soon realized the logical loophole in his thinking.
Because anyone who lived after Qu Yuan's time could also write those two lines.
After all, those two lines were so famous.
But one thing was certain. The Yue Mountain Faction was really a remnant of the Great Moon Empire, founded by the ancient China sages on Earth.
In addition to those two lines, the All-side Starlight Deployment, which was far beyond the level of this world, was also proof.
Li Mu sat where he was and began to think about some problems.
Yue Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire, said that the sages on Earth had opened up a path to immortality. Later generations, such as his master, Li Bai, had followed that path and stepped out of Earth. Li Mu had not thought about that before. But just now, he suddenly realized that if there was such a path, could he follow that path and go back to Earth?
This idea lit up Li Mu's mind like a bolt of lightning. He couldn't help but get excited.
Previously, his idea was that as long as he broke through the Sage Realm and entered the Void-breaking Realm, he could step into the galaxy and then find his way back to Earth. However, there were some uncertainties in this — even if he walked out of the void, what if he got lost in the vast galaxy?
That was the boundless starry sky of the universe, and there were no public buses. If they really got lost, they might not be able to walk back for the rest of their lives.
"After entering the Void-breaking Realm, I can walk out of this planet. But if I want to go back to Earth, I have to find the so-called Path that Yu Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire, mentioned. Only by going back in the opposite direction can I really return to Earth. This is the safest way."
Li Mu completely figured it out.
But in that case, he had to help Yue Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire.
In fact, to be honest, Li Mu had probably been leaning toward the Great Moon Empire for a long time.
After all, it was a dynasty built by the ancient sages of China on Earth.
And those sages were revered and worshiped by every descendant of China. Their contributions and influence on the later generations were unparalleled. How could Li Mu, as their descendant, not feel reverence for them?
Everything was explained in the Chinese textbook in junior high school.
It was a kind of root belonging.
Li Mu was, after all, a good young man with five stresses and four beauties.
Moreover, as Yu Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire, said, the Great Moon Empire was a node on the Path of Redemption opened by the sages of the past. As long as the Great Moon Empire existed, the Path would exist, and the Path would be complete. Guarding the Path was tantamount to guarding the hope of Earth.
Li Mu didn't promise Yu Hualong before because he was somewhat influenced by the old faker. He really had no interest in this kind of fighting and dynasty hegemony. But in fact, the promise he left before he left had already proved that he had subconsciously made up his mind.
While he was pondering —
Rumble!
All of a sudden, the surroundings began to shake.
Li Mu woke up from his contemplation.
The great tactical deployment was about to collapse.
His figure flashed, turned into a jet of broadsword light, and rushed straight up.
…
…
Outside.
"Haha, great! The great tactical deployment is broken. There is a gap."
On the Flying Whale Shuttle, Yan Ruyun, the commander of the Flying Eagle Battalion, who had mostly recovered from his injuries, was overjoyed.
Down below, on the east side of the gate of the Yue Mountain Faction, a gap of more than ten meters was forcibly broken on the protective shield of the All-side Starlight Deployment, as if a city wall had collapsed. Like a flood, the imperial soldiers rushed in through the gap.
A thousand-mile dyke was destroyed by an ant's nest.
That gap was the ant's nest.
The crown prince of the Western Qin also smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "The Yue Mountain Faction is about to perish. Pass down my order. You can claim the reward with the heads of the Yue Mountain Faction's disciples. The head of an ordinary disciple is worth a hundred taels of gold. The reward for the core disciple is doubled, and the elder master is doubled. If anyone kills Xu Yue, the head of the Yue Mountain Faction, and Xu Sheng, the highest elder, he will be directly promoted by three levels, with a reward of a million taels of gold.
Everyone on the Flying Whale Shuttle was overjoyed.
Some royal Executives and the generals of the imperial army were also tempted. They all asked to join the battle.
That was a good time to reap the credit.
However, just at that moment, with a sudden rumble, the earth below slowly began to tremble, as if some god dormant under the earth was slowly waking up.
The crown prince and Yan Ruyun's expressions changed. They were puzzled.
Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, who had been sitting in the chair listlessly, suddenly opened his eyes. A dim light flashed in them. He rose to his feet, went to the bow, and looked down.
One, two, three …
Streaks of dense starlight suddenly shot out from the ground around the main peak of the Yue Mountain Faction.
The flickering starlight spread out in an instant. Specks of starlight, as vast as a sea of smoke, swirled around the main peak.
The All-side Starlight Deployment, which had been on the verge of collapse because of the blast and was so dim that it looked like it would disappear at any time, was illuminated by the swirling starlight. All of a sudden, a mysterious and vast power surged inside the All-side Starlight Deployment. The color of the All-side Starlight Deployment suddenly brightened, and the crack was instantly mended and disappeared. The starlight was so dazzling that it seemed to have turned the entire universe upside down and covered the main peak of the Yue Mountain Faction.
The imperial army and the experts outside rushed too fast. When they bumped into the light shield of the tactical deployment, they were directly shattered by a strange force and turned into flying ashes.
In the sky, the beams of light, energy, weapons, and force launched by the warlocks and martial arts experts were instantly reflected by the starlight shield and smashed into pieces.
In the sky, blossoms of blood blossomed, like a beautiful, resplendent, and bloody fireworks.
The All-side Starlight Deployment came to life.
On the Flying Whale Shuttle, under the astonished gaze of all the people, at that moment, it seemed to be a dragon that was slowly waking up, baring its ferocious and sharp fangs at the intruder who disturbed its dream.
The crown prince of the Western Qin was trembling all over. His mind was blank, and he even forgot to order to stop the attack.
Yan Ruyun, who was standing beside him, was also dumbfounded.
Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, finally showed a look of disbelief in his eyes, which were as white as dead fish.
"This … is impossible. The All-side Starlight Deployment has come back to life? That's impossible. It has been dead for many years. How could it … recover to such an extent? Could it be that … that man has come back? "An uncontrollable fear surged in his heart.
What happened a thousand years ago uncontrollably came to his mind.
Those figures who had slain gods and slaughtered demons had left a deep impression on his soul.
He could not believe it.
That person, like those people, had already left, and it was impossible for him to return.
Why did the tactical deployment he left come back to life?
Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, gritted his teeth. The fear in his heart almost made him turn around and flee.
He did not have the courage to face that man at all.
As a man who had slaughtered countless creatures on this land, there were also people he was afraid of.
"Retreat, retreat! Sound the gongs to retreat!" The crown prince, who came to himself, finally gave the order.
The revived All-side Starlight Deployment was not only a defensive deployment, but also had the power to kill. In the blink of an eye, the imperial army had suffered heavy losses. The troops who had rushed in through the gap naturally died without a burial place. And because of this little hesitation, they lost more than 3,000 people, including hundreds of warlocks and martial arts experts in the Primordial Realm who were stuck in the void.
"Eunuch Yingshan, this …" The crown prince turned to Yingshan Snow-eagle for help with an embarrassed look.
At that moment, Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, finally managed to rein in his fear and gradually calmed down. After all, he was an experienced and knowledgeable old monster. Soon, he realized that it was not what he had been worried about. It was not that that man had returned. Instead … someone had repaired the dead tactical deployment and brought it back to life.
"Who is it?"
A name popped up in Yingshan Snow-eagle's mind.
"Li Mu."
"It must be him."
Because it was this little bug who had activated the potential of the All-side Starlight Deployment with the jade incantation and blocked his attack.
That meant that he knew the tactical deployment.
"What a variable!"
Yingshan Snow-eagle sighed inwardly, feeling a little regretful.
He had calculated that the tactical deployment would be broken, so he did not want to waste his precious natural energy to break it. Instead, he tried to exhaust the tactical deployment at the cost of human lives so that he could finally break it. But to his surprise, such a move gave the Yue Mountain Faction and Li Mu enough time to revive the already dead tactical deployment.
One wrong move, and the whole game was lost.
"Li Mu is a variable. I'm afraid I can't ignore him. I have to find a way to get rid of him."
"Li Mu, come out and answer me," Yingshan Snow-eagle, standing on the bow of the Flying Whale Shuttle, said.
