"Martial Niece, Martial Niece, I'll give in to you!" Yoo Han-yeon pinched Li Mu's waist and said through gritted teeth, "You're not allowed to get on my bed tonight!"
Being a second-generation disciple of the Fugu School, the same generation as the head of the sect, was something to be proud of.
But Li Mu obviously showed off to the wrong person.
It was late at night. He lay alone on the bed in the wing-room, staring at the roof in a daze.
There were always many unpredictable things in life. Before coming to Mount Baiyun, Li Mu didn't expect that he would participate in the trial of Talisman Taoism, become the disciple of the Grand Elder, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of becoming the next head of the sect.
Whether it was for the Empress or for Talisman Daozi's last wish, he inexplicably had another great goal.
Late at night, Li Mu took out the jade slip given to him by Talisman Daozi and put it on his forehead.
In this jade slip, there were more than 100 years of Talisman Daozi's comprehension of Talisman Taoism.
Compared with these powerhouses who had been immersed in Talisman Taoism for decades or even hundreds of years, Li Mu didn't even know a little about Talisman Taoism. He only knew how to draw talismans, but he didn't know anything about talismans.
This jade slip undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for Li Mu.
It let Li Mu know that Talisman Taoism could be used in this way …
Talisman Daozi was a once-in-a-century genius of Talisman Taoism, but his talent in cultivation was not particularly outstanding. So far, he had not taken the key step.
Even though with his attainments in Talisman Taoism, he could fight against a Transcendent Realm master with his cultivation in Dongxuan, but he was still not a Transcendent Realm master.
Under the Transcendent Realm, the lifespan of cultivators was not much longer than that of humans.
Because of cultivation and health preservation, cultivators in Dongxuan could live for more than 60 years, which was equivalent to the oldest among mortals.
If there were no accidents, cultivators in the Divine-Power Realm and the Creation Realm could live for more than 100 years.
The reason why cultivators seemed to live longer was that they were free from disease and disaster, and they knew how to cultivate and maintain their health. Therefore, they could easily live for decades or even hundreds of years.
Mortals lived for decades. If they paid attention to their health, their lifespan might not be shorter than cultivators'.
Talisman Daozi had already lived for two cycles of sixty years, and his life was about to end. Even though the Heavenly Secret Talisman could buy him ten years of time, he would still perish if he couldn't advance within these ten years.
The jade slip contained all his comprehensions of the Dao of Talismans. Li Mu could sense the expectations that Talisman Daozi had for him.
He truly regarded Li Mu as his personal disciple.
Li Mu and the Empress were actually the same type of people.
Because of loneliness, if anyone treated them well, they would return the favor tenfold.
Li Mu wanted to help Fu Daozi, but unfortunately, he was powerless to do so.
He let out a long sigh. Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside.
Yoo Han-yeon walked to the bedside and said angrily, "Why don't you come over?"
Li Mu put away his thoughts and said sadly, "Weren't you the one who didn't let me go over?"
Yoo Han-yeon glared at him and said, "You don't go over just because I don't let you. When did you listen to me?"
Li Mu knew that her self-control was worse than his. She would definitely lose it before him.
At this time, he couldn't be stubborn anymore. He pulled her into his arms and said, "Okay, okay, it was my fault during the day. In the future, we'll talk about our own matters. Anyway, we won't stay on Mount Baiyun for long. By the way, your cultivation is already at the Divine-Power Realm. Do you want to go back to the Divine Capital with me?"
Yoo Han-yeon sighed and said, "I want to, but my cultivation is now at a critical moment. If I go into seclusion with Master for a few more months, I'll be able to break through to the Fifth Realm …"
Li Mu was shocked and asked, "So soon?"
Yoo Han-yeon said proudly, "I'm now cultivating the Pure Yin Technique. Every step of my cultivation is guided by Master. Mount Baiyun is full of spiritual energy and there are endless spiritual jades. If I go into seclusion for a few more months, then, then …"
Li Mu asked, "Then what?"
Yoo Han-yeon lowered her head and said softly, "Then, as long as we really do Dual Cultivation, I'll be able to borrow your Pure Yang energy. When Yin and Yang converge, I'll break through the bottleneck …"
Li Mu and Yoo Han-yeon hugged and kissed. They had done most of the things that couples should do. However, there was still one most important thing that they hadn't done.
Firstly, the concept of this era was different. That step had to be taken on the night of the wedding. Only then would there be a sense of ceremony.
Secondly, when the Yin and Yang converged, it was the best time to break through. If they lost it now, their cultivation would increase a little. However, they would still encounter a bottleneck when the time came.
The bottleneck between each realm was the hardest to break through. Being stuck at a bottleneck for decades was nothing new in the cultivation world.
There were only a few months left. When he returned to Shen 'du, Li Mu had to start preparing for the wedding.
The attraction between Pure Yin and Pure Yang was irresistible. The two of them reunited after a short separation. They only came out of the room after lunch the next day.
Li Mu's original plan was to accompany her for three months. However, her cultivation was at a critical moment. Three days later, she went into seclusion again.
Three days later, Li Mu came to the main peak of Mount Baiyun again. He still had something important to do.
When Yoo Han-yeon entered the sect, Hyun Jinko gave her a chance to comprehend the Dao Page. Although what she comprehended was a copy, she gained a lot.
As a second-generation disciple, Li Mu could directly comprehend the original page of the Dao Page.
In the Dao Palace, Xuan Jizi stretched out his hand. A yellowed piece of paper appeared in his palm.
There were no words on the paper. It looked simple and unadorned as it floated quietly in Hyun Jinko's palm.
Fu Daozi stood beside Li Mu and said seriously, "The Dao Page is a page of the Dao Scripture. It contains the supreme Dao. The founder of the Fugu School obtained this page. After comprehending it, he left the Fugu School's orthodoxy behind. This is a rare opportunity. Study it well. It will be of great benefit to your future cultivation …"
Xuan Jizi looked at Li Mu and said, "This page of the Dao Scripture contains the Talisman's Dao. Different people will comprehend different things. How much you can comprehend will depend on your luck …"
Li Mu had a good understanding of the Dao Scripture.
It was said that most of the supernatural powers, Dao techniques, Talisman, pills, and array formations in the current cultivation world originated from the Dao Scripture. Anyone who obtained any page of the Dao Scripture could establish a sect. That was how the six sects of the Dao Sect came about …
The Dao Page slowly floated over from Xuan Jizi's palm. Li Mu reached out and pressed his hand on it.
In the next moment, he entered a white world.
Unlike the world he entered when he participated in the trial, this world was a vast expanse of white. Even when Li Mu put his hand in front of his eyes, he could only see white.
He was wrapped in a white fog that he could not see clearly.
In the fog, there was a flash of golden light from time to time. It was so fast that one could not see it clearly.
Li Mu tried to chase after the golden light, but the golden light flashed and disappeared. The more he wanted to see it clearly, the faster the golden light flashed in the white fog. In the end, he could only see a blurry afterimage.
This feeling was similar to when Li Mu first drew talismans. The more he wanted to draw it in one go, the more restless his heart was and the greater the possibility of failure.
Therefore, Li Mu sat down cross-legged and began to recite the Clear Heart Sutra.
In the Dao Palace of the main peak, Xuan Jizi looked at Li Mu who was sitting cross-legged and said indifferently, "It seems that he has found the trick. I wonder how many Talisman he can comprehend in the end."
Talisman Daozi asked, "How many did you comprehend back then?"
Xuan Jizi said, "I'm ashamed. I only comprehended ten. I can't compare to Martial Uncle."
Talisman Daozi glanced at him and said, "But your luck isn't bad. The talismans you've comprehended are new talismans that no one else has comprehended. Amongst the 15 talismans I've comprehended, 8 of them were comprehended by others."
Xuan Jizi looked at Li Mu and said, "I just don't know how lucky Junior Brother is …"
In the white fog space, as Li Mu's heart calmed down, he noticed that the white fog in front of him seemed to have faded a little.
At the same time, the golden light flashing in the fog slowed down. He could vaguely see that it was a Talisman made of runes. However, the Talisman was still very fast and he could not see the details clearly.
Li Mu was not in a hurry and continued to recite the Clear Heart Sutra.
The white fog in front of him became thinner and the speed of the Talisman became slower. Gradually, Li Mu could see the details of the Talisman.
This was a Talisman that Li Mu had never seen before. Judging from the complexity of the runes, it should be above the mid-grade of the Heaven Rank.
Li Mu remembered the Talisman in his heart and looked further ahead.
As the fog gradually faded, Li Mu could gradually see the Talisman flashing in the distance.
Obviously, as long as his heart was calm, he would be able to see further, more clearly, and more talismans.
Li Mu was no longer anxious. He closed his eyes and began to recite the Clear Heart Sutra again and again.
After reciting it countless times, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes.
The scene in front of him stunned him.
The surrounding white fog was gone. He sat cross-legged on the ground and there was an extremely vast land in front of him.
On the land, there were many monsters that Li Mu had never seen before.
These monsters were hundreds of feet tall and emitted an extremely terrifying aura. They wreaked havoc on the land. Wherever they went, mountains collapsed and rivers flowed in reverse.
These ugly but incomparably powerful monsters were slowly walking towards Li Mu.
Behind Li Mu, there were countless figures floating in the air.
These people stretched out their hands and drew lines in the air. Wherever their fingertips passed, golden light condensed and formed runes. Finally, they converged into a Talisman and flew towards these monsters.
The golden light that Li Mu had seen just now was the scene of these Talisman flying in front of his eyes.
It was just that at that time, his eyes were filled with white fog and he could not see where these Talisman came from or went.
These Talisman flew over the heads of these monsters. Some summoned incomparably thick lightning dragons and smashed the monsters into ashes. Some turned into balls of flames and engulfed the monsters. Some froze the monsters and then collapsed …
In this place, Li Mu had seen many Talisman that he had never seen or heard of before. Many doubts appeared in his mind.
What were these huge monsters with terrifying auras? He had read a lot of books and was familiar with the "Records of Monsters in the Ten Continents", but he had never seen any description of them.
If these things really existed, even if they were not in the Ancestral State, there would definitely be records of them.
And who were those people behind him wearing strange clothes? Their fighting style was so strange that they could actually draw talismans out of thin air without using talisman materials. Although today's Transcendent experts could also draw talismans out of thin air, the power of the Talisman was far from being comparable to the ones in this scene …
Li Mu had many mysteries in his heart that had not been solved. Just as he was about to look for a while, the previous scene suddenly changed. He returned to the Dao Palace on the main peak again. In front of him were Xuan Jizi and Fu Daozi.
Fu Daozi looked at Li Mu and asked expectantly, "How many Talisman did you see?"
"How many …" Li Mu recalled for a moment and recalled the talismans that filled the sky and densely covered the entire sky. He said, "There should be around a thousand …"
