The Jianghu was the Jianghu. It would never calm down because of a single genius. Instead, it would become even more magnificent.
In the five years that Heavenly Asura Li Zhiyuan lived in seclusion, the Jianghu of the Wind Cloud Continent was still bloody. The strong preyed on the weak. This was one of the most eternal laws of the world. However, no matter how shocking the Jianghu feuds, how amazing the rising stars, and how sensational the battles between experts, they were all meaningless to Li Mu.
In the five years, he had traveled all over the Wind Cloud Continent.
Not only the Northern Wilderness Region, but also the Southern Barbaric Region, Dongxiu Region, Western Poison Region, and the Central True Region.
He had countless incarnations and experienced the martial arts of the various clans and sects in this world. He had snuck into the scripture pavilions, martial dojos, and secret rooms of the top sects, aristocratic families, and divine sects without anyone noticing. He had read through all the famous martial arts and battle techniques on the Cloud Cloud Continent. At the same time, he had traveled all over the continent and studied and mastered some unknown but unique martial arts and battle techniques through various peaceful methods.
Not only that, but he had also secretly sealed his own cultivation and fought against various geniuses, martial arts experts, Divine Sect Masters, ambitious and ruthless people to hone his martial skills. He was even bored to the point of turning into a nameless nobody and joining in the grudges of the Jianghu. From the perspective of a nobody, he carefully observed and comprehended. Not only did he train his martial arts, he also trained his heart.
Five years later, Li Mu's martial arts and battle experience had risen to a level that the martial arts experts of this world could not comprehend.
Even the most ordinary battle techniques had the power to turn something rotten into something magical in his hands.
Li Mu returned to the Tiandao Sect and began to cultivate in seclusion.
He wanted to combine the strengths of a hundred schools of thought and create his own martial arts and battle techniques.
Of course, this process was very long. He could not really create his own saber techniques and battle techniques just by looking at a hundred schools of thought.
Fortunately, battle techniques were different from Taoism.
Things that required skill could always be obtained through summarization.
Li Mu cultivated in seclusion for another five years.
Time flew by like a white steed flitting across a crevice.
In the blink of an eye, it had been eleven years since Li Mu's soul transmigrated to this world.
After Li Mu came out of the closed-door training, he once again traveled around the world.
His three disciples had also become geniuses whose names shook the entire Northern Wilderness Region.
Fang Mei, Fang Yuan, and Shen Jia were all in their early twenties. In the past five years, they had risen to fame, especially Shen Jia, who was extremely talented and had an excellent temperament. He was already an expert in the Ninth Realm. His cultivation speed was second only to that of his master, the Heavenly Way Asura, and could be regarded as shocking. Fang Mei and Fang Yuan were both around level-seven and could be considered influential figures.
The Tiandao Sect had produced many talents and was famous.
In the Northern Wilderness Region, the Xuantian Cloud Palace's prestige and status increased day by day. It was said that the "Xuantian Divine Dragon" Nie Renlong's strength had broken through again. He was very passionate about the affairs of the Jianghu and often appeared, stabilizing the Xuantian Cloud Palace's position as the number one divine clan in the Northern Wilderness Region. Nie Renlong was also known as the Northern Wilderness Region's number one expert.
Of course, there was still debate about who was better between Li Zhiyuan and Nie Renlong.
However, since the battle of the Four Seas Divine Sect, Li Zhiyuan was indifferent to fame and wealth and rarely interfered with the affairs of the Jianghu. Hence, in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and his fame had gradually faded. There were geniuses in the Jianghu every generation, and each of them dominated for three to five years. In this world, the number of Jianghu experts changed at a faster rate than the number of iPhones on Earth.
…
A green bird pierced through the clouds and dived down, landing on the thatched cottage in the Small Bamboo Peak behind the Tiandao Sect.
Creak.
The thatched cottage was pushed open.
Li Mu slowly walked out.
Ten years had passed. Although it seemed like there was no trace of it left on his body, the handsome man who was famous in the Jianghu had become more and more elegant. There was a brilliance about him that would make people feel ashamed of their own inferiority.
He slowly reached out his hand, and the green bird landed on his palm, chirping.
Li Mu took the letter tube from its leg and opened it. It was a letter from the Enigmatic Divine Dragon, Nie Renlong, and it was about the recent happenings in the Jianghu.
"Zhiyuan, my friend, you are wise. It has been a year since we last met, and I have learned a lot. In this year, the Jianghu of the Northern Wilderness Region has been peaceful, and there are occasional disturbances. I have already ordered the disciples of the Xuan Tianyun Palace to judge fairly. Only you, my friend, have asked me to investigate the whereabouts of that demon, but there is no trace of it. I have already contacted the masters of the other four Holy Sects, and together with the power of the five Holy Sects, we will search the Fengyun Continent …"
After reading the letter, Li Mu's lips curled into a smile, and he turned the letter into ashes.
After the battle that year, the Blood Sea Trident Demon completely disappeared from this world.
All these years, Li Mu had traveled the Fengyun Continent, and he had intentionally searched for the Blood Sea Trident Demon.
This existence had always been on Nie Renlong's mind.
But he had found nothing.
Ten years had passed, and the hidden prison in the Enigmatic Divine Palace had been remodeled by Nie Renlong, and the underground lair had been abandoned. The boundless Blood Sea had disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated along with the Trident Demon.
"Why can't I find any trace of it?"
Li Mu pondered.
The Trident Demon's cultivation was amazing. If he really wanted to hide, it would indeed be difficult to find him. But the problem was that there were so many black-clothed assassins under his command, and there were so many huge organizations. In order to restore his cultivation, he had to use that kind of evil method to devour the blood and vitality of martial arts masters in order to improve his cultivation. Such an act would cause a great disturbance, especially when those famous martial arts masters disappeared. Li Mu had been tracking it for so long, intentionally or unintentionally, but he had found no clues. This matter was worth pondering.
"Ten years have passed, and I've already vaguely felt that there is a guiding and summoning force among the stars in the sky. It's just like when I was on the Divine Land and was about to break the void. I felt the summoning of the stars, and I had a feeling that I could float and become an immortal at any time. The Trident Demon said that there is a prison in this world, which is probably the same as in my previous life when I broke the void to enter outer space. But my situation is special. How can I go back to my original world? Even if I fly to outer space, I may not be able to return to the original universe. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't take down the Trident Demon that day, I would have interrogated him. “
Li Mu stood in front of the cliff of Small Bamboo Peak, watching the waves and listening to the waterfall, thinking carefully.
He came to this world with his soul. If he returned to the Ziwei Star Zone, would he have to do the same?
But what about his physical body?
Ten years had passed. Gradually, martial arts and combat skills were not the direction that Li Mu was interested in. How to find the way home was what he really cared about.
But he hadn't found the answer to this question yet.
Li Mu vaguely felt that he needed a big fight to figure out some key clues.
Over the past year or so, he had assumed different identities and challenged all the experts of the Ten Realms and above in the Five Domains. However, no one had been able to withstand a single move from him. He felt as if he was the only one who could be defeated.
Footsteps came.
"Master, something happened, Master." Fang Mei hurried over with a panicked look on her face.
Li Mu turned around and said, "It's rare for little Huamei to be so nervous. Haha, what's the matter?"
Fang Mei said, "Master, more than 20 top sects on the continent have come together and want our Tiandao Sect to severely punish our eldest senior brother." The eldest senior brother she mentioned was Shen Jia.
Li Mu couldn't help laughing and said, "What trouble did Xiao Jia make this time?"
Shen Jia was the first to make a name for himself. He traveled in Jianghu, did chivalrous deeds, and killed a lot of evildoers. He was an impatient man who abhorred evil as if it were his personal enemy. So, he often used thunderous means to get rid of the evildoers. Therefore, he had made a lot of enemies in Jianghu, especially those who appeared to be benevolent, righteous, and moral in Jianghu, or those from famous sects. When Shen Jia caught them doing evil deeds, he never forgave them. As a result, many powerful forces hated Shen Jia, who was nicknamed the Thunderous Sword and Fire. But because Shen Jia had a freakishly talented master, Li Zhiyuan, no one dared to lay a finger on him.
But this time, more than 20 top sects on the Fengyun Continent came to Tiandao Sect together. It seemed that he had made a big trouble.
"They said that eldest senior brother had an affair with Lan Yingying, the demoness of the Eastern Demon Cult. They want us to hand over eldest senior brother and severely punish him as a warning to others." Fang Mei secretly looked at Li Mu with a little worry, afraid that her master would punish Shen Jia in anger.
"Colluding with the Eastern Demon Cult?"
Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When he traveled around the continent in his early years, he learned that the so-called Eastern Demon Cult originated from the Dongxiu Domain. It developed rapidly and later flourished in the entire Fengyun Continent. At one time, it had the tendency to surpass the five Holy Clans. But because of its secretive behavior and special Cultivation Methods, it was put on the list of the Devil Cult. There were several so-called "righteous and evil wars" in history. In the end, the five Holy Clans united with other sects to defeat the Eastern Demon Cult. Over the years, it had accumulated strength and was gradually recovering.
Li Mu had also heard of Lan Yingying, the Virgin Goddess of the Devil Cult. She was known as the first genius of the Devil Cult since ancient times. She had amazing talent and acted independently. It was rumored that she was cruel and merciless. She was the most famous rising star in the Eastern Demon Cult and was called the Devil in Jianghu. It was said that many martial arts masters of the older generation had been defeated by Lan Yingying.
But why did Shen Jia and Lan Yingying have a relationship?
"Let's go and have a look."
Li Mu walked down the Small Bamboo Peak with Fang Mei who was nervous.
Fang Mei was already in her early twenties. She was at the age of flowers and jade. She was very delicate and beautiful. Dressed in a green bamboo gown, she had an indescribable Spiritual Qi all over her body. But at this time, her face was frowning.
She knew that her master was the most amiable and easy-going person in daily life. He was almost not arrogant at all. But there was one thing that he was particularly strict about. That was, he hated evil more than the eldest senior brother. Once he encountered an evil person, he would never let it go. To a large extent, the eldest senior brother's behavior style was influenced by her master.
This time, the eldest senior brother actually colluded with the evil witch of the cult. Wouldn't the master be furious?
The truth was, what was the eldest senior brother thinking? How could he have a relationship with the Devil Cult?
Fang Mei followed Li Mu, and her pretty little face turned into a bitter one.
In the blink of an eye, the gate of the Tiandao Sect could be seen in the distance.
There were thousands of foreign martial arts masters, who almost surrounded the entire Tiandao Sect and were talking about something.
