It turned out that it was reasonable for the people of the West Sea Sword Sect to be nervous.
Because on the next day, the Desktop Peak shook again and grew more than 100 meters higher.
At that time, Li Mu was also on the Desktop Peak. He could clearly feel an extremely mysterious and profound power emanating from the rocks of the Desktop Peak. The entire Desktop Peak seemed to be alive and grew like plants. In just 15 minutes or so, the growth was completed, and then the mysterious power dissipated.
It was weird.
Li Mu's horizons were broadened.
The West Sea Sword Sect was alarmed again. They used all kinds of methods to investigate the cause, but they found nothing.
They even invited the experts of tactical deployments from the four cities, the two sects, and the two families to investigate, but they found no clues.
Some people suggested that the West Sea Sword Sect should evacuate and move to another place.
Because this mysterious power was very threatening.
The Desktop Peak was the headquarters of the Fate-defying Sect. Among the seven branches of the Devil Cult, the Fate-defying Sect was the most evil. Many incredible things had happened to this branch. It was very likely that there was great danger in the Desktop Peak.
"Humph, even if there is danger, we will suppress it with our swords."
Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea, was very domineering. He made the final decision and directly rejected the decision to move.
The reason was very simple.
They couldn't be afraid of fighting.
In the past few days, Li Mu also took the flying shuttle to the sky 10,000 meters away from White Emperor City on time. He carried stones and materials, practiced the floating fighting ring and various tactical deployments. Of course, in everyone's eyes, he was just a weak man in the Half Joint-qi Realm with a little more strength. What he did was just some low-level work. Except for Ding Yi, no one paid attention to him.
Gu Lang and the others were temporarily placed in a hidden cave on the Sword Peak, and their auras were blocked by tactical deployments.
However, the "sword inspection skill" of the West Sea Sword Sect was extremely terrifying. It detected them several times, forcing Li Mu to move them in advance.
"This can't go on. I have to find a way to solve this problem once and for all."
Li Mu thought while moving the stones.
The Xiantian Skill he had been practicing had become an instinct of his body. While walking, he was also practicing, so it did not delay his recovery of strength.
In order to meet the deadline, a lot of manpower and material resources were invested in the construction of the floating fighting ring, and it was certainly not completed by the four cities, three sects, and two aristocratic families alone. The Devil Cult also sent the experts of tactical formations from the Dragon King Ridge and the Sky-overlooking Pavilion to undertake the other half of the construction of the fighting ring — both sides were worried that the other side would play tricks during the construction of the fighting ring, so they did not dare to completely let the other side go.
In the arena, the two sides agreed not to fight.
While Li Mu was still thinking about how to settle Gu Lang and the others, a few spaceships approached from afar. Several young people got off the spaceships, who were all well-dressed and imposing. At first glance, Li Mu could tell that they were the best of the younger generation in the four cities, three sects, and two aristocratic families, which were the nine major forces of the Decent Alliance. With a quick glance, Li Mu could tell that these young people were all in the Sage Realm or above, so he could not underestimate them.
These days, Li Mu had basically figured out the origins of the experts in the nine major forces of the Decent Alliance.
The four cities referred to Cold River City, Sunset City, Central Heaven City, and Peerless City, which were the four largest cities on the entire Bitter Star, equivalent to the three great empires on the Divine Land. The three major sword sects were the West Sea Sword Sect, the Sky-reaching Sword Sect, and the East Mountain Sword Sect, all of which practiced swordsmanship. The reason why swordsmanship was popular on the Bitter Star had something to do with the three major sword sects, which had a large number of disciples. The two aristocratic families were the Zhu family, which was an aristocratic family of tactical deployments, and the Gongsun family, which was an aristocratic family of mechanical puppets.
These nine forces were almost the same in strength and heritage, and each had its own characteristics. Together, they dominated the Bitter Star.
Of course, according to Ding Yi, the "famous hero in Jianghu", the nine forces were just local tyrants, and the real power that controlled the whole Bitter Star was the immortals from outer space. In front of those cultivators and sects from outer space, the nine forces were just stronger ants. If they disobeyed, they could be wiped out at will.
Li Mu found that Ding Yi did not seem to have a good impression of the nine forces.
In addition to the nine forces, there were also many sects that were the vassals of the four cities, three sects, and two aristocratic families, who followed their lead.
In comparison, the Devil Cult was weaker.
Before long, the sound of the drums of the flying boats came from afar.
Several more large flying boats came through the sea of clouds.
This time, it was the masters of the nine forces who came.
There was a stir in the surrounding crowd.
The disciples and experts of the various sects who were building the floating fighting ring were all restless and excited.
In the midst of the discussion, Li Mu understood the reason.
Tan Rushuang, the Top Sword of West Sea, Li Muzi, the Sky-reaching Sword Master, Dongfang Qing, the Ancient Sword, Qu Yi, the Lord of Cold River City, Duan Feng, the Lord of Peerless City, Ran Guangyao, the Lord of Sunset City, Lu Tianhua, the Lord of Central Heaven City, Zhu Nong, the head of the Zhu family, and Gongsun Bieli, the head of the Gongsun family … The masters of the nine forces of the Decent Alliance all showed up.
"What's going on?"
"It's rare for these nine people to get together."
"It's time for the precious sword light in White Emperor City to erupt again," Ding Yi appeared out of nowhere and whispered in Li Mu's ear.
This battle between the good and the evil was caused by the eruption of Cyan Qi tens of thousands of meters high in the abyss of the White Emperor Peak below White Emperor City. It was said that it had erupted several times before and was later sealed and suppressed by the Mount Shu Sect. However, how mighty the power of heaven and earth was, how could it be suppressed? Every few days, this cyan sword light of Cyan Qi would erupt like a fountain of heaven and earth.
And today was the time for another eruption in the past half a month.
"How do you know?" Li Mu looked at Ding Yi.
In the past few days, Ding Yi had been appearing and disappearing unpredictably. He often disappeared and then suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Nonsense. As a famous hero in Jianghu, what don't I know?" Ding Yi said triumphantly.
"Fine."
Li Mu didn't ask anymore.
After all, he was a famous hero in Jianghu.
Then, Ding Yi instructed Li Mu to identify the masters of the nine forces and matched their names with their real names. He said, "These nine people can be said to be the top nine forces of the Decent Alliance on the Bitter Star. Except for the masters of the two great families, the other seven are all in the Void-breaking Realm. When they are angry, the sea will freeze, and when they are happy, the world will be in spring. Except for the Devil Cult and the Mount Shu Sect, no other sects, big or small, dare to disrespect these nine people."
Li Mu caught a little logic in his words and asked, "Aren't the masters of the two great families in the Void-breaking Realm?"
Ding Yi looked triumphant. He lowered his voice and said, "Only I know this kind of thing. I won't tell ordinary people. The Zhu Family is famous for its tactical deployments, and the Gongsun Family is famous for their mechanisms and puppets. Neither of the two masters is in the Void-breaking Realm. But with the help of their respective tactical deployments and mechanisms, they also have the combat capability of the Void-breaking Realm, so they can be on an equal footing with the Four Cities Three Swords Sect."
"So that's how it is."
It was the first time that Li Mu had heard of this kind of thing.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, there was a roar of the earth.
The sea of clouds in the sky suddenly began to boil like boiling water. Layers of air waves surged continuously from the direction of White Emperor City, which was five miles away. It was a spectacular sight. The martial arts experts could vaguely feel that the earth below was shaking, as if some terrible power sleeping under the earth was about to wake up.
"It's begun." Ding Yi looked in the direction of White Emperor City and said with a hint of excitement.
The gush of precious light and Sword Qi was about to begin.
Countless eyes were looking in the direction of White Emperor City.
Even the people of the Devil Cult who were stationed on the spot to build the floating fighting ring were no exception.
"Rumble!"
A jet of cyan sword light rose to the sky and tore the sea of clouds apart.
Li Mu's eyes lit up.
This kind of sword light … was too sharp and tyrannical. It was as if the sword would even split the sky and the universe in half.
The cyan brilliance, like the eye of the sea, was bursting out, dyeing the entire direction of White Emperor City into a vibrant turquoise color. There seemed to be pieces of green lotus leaves slowly blooming. The huge leaves and long branches spread out between heaven and earth, looking illusory and real. There was even a faint fragrance of lotus in the air.
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth suddenly became rich.
Without warning, the Xiantian Skill suddenly sped up and began to absorb the cyan lotus energy and fragrance crazily, forming a vortex of airflow visible to the naked eye around Li Mu's body.
"Oh no."
Li Mu was startled and was about to forcibly stop the operation of the Cultivation Method. But when he looked around, he found that not only him, but all the people in the sky had also begun to operate their Cultivation Method to absorb it. The stronger the cultivator was, the thicker the cyan light vortex around him was. For example, the young successors of the nine major forces and the nine Supreme Venerables had a diameter of several hundred meters, and the airflow was spinning amazingly.
Even Ding Yi beside him was operating his Cultivation Method to absorb the Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus.
Li Mu was relieved. He controlled the speed of the Xiantian Skill to avoid making too much noise and attracting attention, and began to absorb the Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus.
"Rumble!"
The earth shook.
The sea of clouds rolled.
One after another, amazing cyan sword light cut through the sky and shot into the sky.
Huge illusions of cyan lotus leaves were generated in the sea of clouds. One lotus leaf seemed to be able to cover the sky.
"This kind of Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus is far more conducive to the growth of the primitive natural qi than the ordinary Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth."
Li Mu felt that the primitive natural qi in his body was growing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he broke through the original realm and entered the Sage Realm.
"Those outside the nine major sects, withdraw."
Qu Yi, Lord of Cold River City, suddenly said. His voice echoed around with unquestionable majesty.
He did not allow anyone outside the nine major sects to absorb the Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus.
There was an uproar around. Many people from other sects and many rogue cultivators who came to help changed their expressions when they heard this.
"This is too domineering."
They all responded to the call of the nine major sects and came to destroy the Devil Cult. These days, they had worked hard even if they didn't make any contributions. They were at the disposal of the nine major sects. Now that there were benefits, they actually didn't allow people outside the nine major sects to get some soup. Was it too much?
Li Mu was also absorbing the Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus. It was really exciting. He was about to be driven out.
