Changle Palace.
Li Mu already knew the identity of the woman in black. She was the commander of the Chrysanthemum Guards, the Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum Guards. Li Mu had never seen her before.
According to the title of commander of the internal guards, Li Mu should call her Lady Chrysanthemum.
The Chrysanthemum Guards were the Empress's external intelligence organization. They were responsible for monitoring the movements of the Ghost Realm, the Demon Nation, the Demon Sect, and other powerful enemies of the Great Zhou. It was said that many of the Chrysanthemum Guards had infiltrated these forces and were important spies for the Imperial Court.
Zhou Yi looked at the woman in black and asked, "You suddenly returned to Shen 'du. Did the Demon Sect make a big move?"
The woman in black glanced at Li Mu and said to Zhou Yi, "Your Majesty, this is a matter of great importance. If it is not handled well, it will be a catastrophe for the Great Zhou and even the entire Righteous Path …"
Zhou Yi understood her meaning and said, "He is one of us. If you can tell me something, you can also tell him."
The woman in black didn't expect the Empress to trust a man so much, but she didn't dare to question the Empress. She looked away from Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty, the Demon Sect found the Demon Emperor White Emperor's cave …"
The Empress, who had always been indifferent, showed a serious expression when she heard this news. She asked, "Is the news true?"
The woman in black nodded and said, "One of my spies risked exposing his identity to spread this news. The Demon Sect has been searching for the White Emperor's cave for hundreds of years. Recently, they made a major breakthrough and confirmed the approximate location of the White Emperor's cave."
What Demon Emperor White Emperor? Li Mu was confused and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, who is Demon Emperor White Emperor? What happened to his cave?"
The woman in black looked at Li Mu and frowned, "Which commander do you work for? How can you be so unruly? Is this a place where you can interrupt?"
Li Mu pursed his lips. If it wasn't for the Empress's serious expression, he wouldn't have interrupted even if she asked him to.
He said to the Empress, "Your Majesty, Lady Chrysanthemum and you have important matters to discuss. I will leave first."
Zhou Yi said, "Come back."
Li Mu: "This is not the place for this subject to interrupt. This subject should leave first."
"Stop fooling around." Zhou Yi rubbed her eyebrows helplessly. She looked at the woman in black and said, "When you see him in the future, treat him like you see me. Don't say those words again."
The woman in black stared blankly at Li Mu. The shock in her heart could not be any greater. Had His Majesty's trust in this person reached such a level?
After regaining her senses, she lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Zhou Yi looked at Li Mu again and explained, "Demon Emperor Bai Di was a powerful demon three thousand years ago. His cultivation had reached the ninth realm. Today, most of the major demon clans' orthodoxies were passed down from him. Thus, he was respectfully called Demon Emperor by the demon clans. Although the Demon Emperor passed down the demon orthodoxies, he had no direct disciples. His lifespan ended, and after he died, no one inherited his cave abode …"
Bai Di, Demon Emperor, powerful demon … Li Mu still could not imagine how powerful he was with such words.
It was only when the Empress mentioned the ninth realm that Li Mu realized that this demon was actually so powerful …
In Li Mu's eyes, the seventh realm was already very powerful. The Empress could teleport, plant flowers, and even chase him into his dreams to beat him up. These were only the abilities of the seventh realm. How powerful would the legendary ninth realm be?
But when he thought about how even someone as powerful as the ninth realm only had a lifespan of 300 years, Li Mu felt that it was not that interesting anymore.
Powerful cultivators who could reverse Yin and Yang and mediate destiny would be embarrassed to tell others that they were immortal cultivators if they did not live for thousands of years.
They had painstakingly cultivated to the ninth realm, but they had only lived less than two hundred years longer than normal people. Moreover, the three hundred years of their lives had been spent in boring cultivation. What was the point of cultivating here and there?
The Empress continued, "It is said that in the Demon Emperor Bai Di's cave abode, there are many magic treasures and spirit herbs …"
Li Mu said in surprise, "No matter how good the quality of those magic treasures and spirit herbs are, after 3,000 years, they will lose all their Spiritual Qi and become ordinary objects, right?"
The Empress nodded and said, "The magic treasures will be damaged, and the spirit herbs will lose their effectiveness. But even after 3,000 years, the Dao Page will not change at all."
Li Mu was shocked and said, "There is a Dao Page in the Demon Emperor Bai Di's cave abode?"
The Empress said, "This was not a secret at the time. It was because he comprehended part of the Dao Page that he was able to pass down the teachings of the demon race. Later people guessed that the Dao Page he had recorded the cultivation methods of the demon race in the world …"
In the current cultivation world, if there was any treasure that was the most precious, it would undoubtedly be the Dao Page.
Obtaining a Dao Page would allow one to establish a sect and pass down their teachings.
The six sects of Taoism and the various sects of the demon path all inherited their teachings from the Dao Page.
Over the past ten thousand years, even though the factions had been improving and innovating on the basis of the Dao Pages and had made great progress, they had to admit that the cultivation world had only developed for a short period of time. It was still a long way from reaching the peak of the previous era.
The scene Li Mu saw from the Fu-lu School's Dao Page had already proved this point.
The cultivation of this era was temporarily behind the previous era.
The Dao Page was at least an item from the previous era. In other words, obtaining the Dao Page would allow one to obtain an even more powerful inheritance.
He finally understood why Lady Ju and the Empress were so nervous.
If this Dao Page was obtained by the Righteous Path, it would be fine. But if it was obtained by the demon path's Demon Sect, it would be disastrous.
The demon path's Demon Sect was different from ordinary demons.
Among the demons, there were good and kind demons like Xiao Bai, Bai Yinxin, and Bai Tingxin. But there were also evil demons that fed on the essence and blood of humans. The demon path's Demon Sect was established by these fallen demons.
If the demon path's Demon Sect obtained this Dao Page and comprehended an even more powerful demon art from it, it would be a huge blow to the Great Zhou and the Righteous Path. The demon race originally had an innate advantage. If they obtained a more complete and higher level cultivation method, they might be able to create a force that was not weaker than the six sects of Taoism within a few years.
The black-clothed woman said solemnly, "Your Majesty, we must prevent the demon sect from obtaining the Dao Page. Otherwise, it will lead to a disaster!"
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "I understand. This Dao Page must not fall into the hands of the demon path."
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we let the three Consecrators of the Consecration Department go? With their strength, it won't be a problem for them to sweep through the demon path's Demon Sect and obtain the Dao Page."
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "They won't be able to enter Demon Emperor White Emperor's cave abode."
Li Mu was puzzled. "Why?"
Zhou Yi explained, "The reason why his cave abode has not been discovered for so many years is because this cave abode is a Flask Space that he created himself. An ownerless Flask Space is unstable. If cultivators above the Sixth Realm enter, the cave abode will immediately collapse. All living beings in the cave abode will be wiped out by the power of space …"
Li Mu was stunned. In other words, cultivators above the Sixth Realm could not enter White Emperor's cave abode at all?
Without Sixth Realm cultivators, what was there to be afraid of?!
Li Mu looked at the Empress confidently and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely bring that Dao Page back!"
The woman in black looked at the Empress and said in shock, "Your Majesty …"
The Empress nodded and said, "Let one of the High Consecrators accompany you. If anything happens, he can take care of you."
The woman in black was confused.
Sixth Realm cultivators could not enter White Emperor's cave abode. In order to prevent the Dao Page from falling into the hands of the demon path, shouldn't the Imperial Court send all the High Consecrators below the Sixth Realm?
Hearing Her Majesty's words, it seemed like she planned to let this person go alone?
She had been undercover in the Yao Nation for a year. After returning to the Divine Capital, she realized that her thoughts could not keep up with Her Majesty's.
No, she had to ask Shangguan Li what was going on …
Not long after, at the entrance of Changle Palace, Shangguan Li nodded and said, "If he goes personally, you don't have to worry …"
The woman in black scratched her head and said in disbelief, "Who is he? Why do you and Her Majesty trust him so much …"
In Changle Palace, Li Mu was still thinking.
For a moment, he wanted to go to White Emperor's cave abode alone and take back that Dao Page. However, after thinking about it carefully, that was still a bit reckless.
Although he was confident in his own strength, he had to be careful on the path of cultivation. He could not underestimate others. If he failed miserably, he would die without even a chance to regret it.
Moreover, the Yao Sect had planned this for hundreds of years. If they did not send out all their elites for this operation, he might not be able to handle it alone.
His beautiful life had just begun. Thinking of Liu Hanyan, Li Qing, Wanwan, Xiao Bai, the Empress … he decided to play it safe.
This time, he planned to bring all the High Consecrators at the peak of the Fifth Realm with him.
In addition, he also wanted to borrow some people from Fu-lu School to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Li Mu took out a sound transmission talisman. After Liu Hanyan went to White Cloud Mountain, she would probably return this talisman to Xuan Jizi.
He did not know what Xuan Jizi was busy with. Li Mu urged the talisman several times, but there was no response.
White Cloud Mountain, Main Peak Daoist Palace.
Six tall white jade chairs floated in the void. Fu-lu School's Headmaster, Xuan Jizi, sat in the main seat. The other five chairs were occupied by four men and one woman. They were all phantoms.
The only middle-aged woman said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xuan Jizi. You have gained a beloved disciple. I will prepare a generous gift for the disciple acceptance ceremony."
A middle-aged man beside her said, "I also want to congratulate Fellow Daoist Yuzhenzi for ascending to Transcendence. Fu-lu School has gained another powerhouse."
Xuan Jizi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoists."
Then, as if he sensed something, he said to the crowd, "Please wait for a moment."
He stretched out his hand. A white light flashed in his palm, and a wooden box appeared. Xuan Jizi inserted his magic power and asked briefly, "Junior Brother, what's the matter?"
In Changle Palace, Li Mu contacted Xuan Jizi several times, but there was no response. Just as he was about to give up, Xuan Jizi's voice finally came from the wooden box.
Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "There is a very important matter. This matter concerns the foundation of Fu-lu School. The imperial court has received accurate news that the Demon Path's Monster Sect has discovered Monster Emperor White Emperor's cave abode. There is a Dao Page in the cave abode. I have to get it and not let the Demon Path get it. Senior Brother, remember to send a few peak Manifestation Realm elders over. Remember not to tell anyone about this …"
"Monster Emperor White Emperor!"
"Leave behind the cave abode!"
"The Dao Page!"
…
In the Dao Palace, the phantoms of the other five Headmasters were stunned.
Xuan Jizi was extremely regretful. The matter of the Dao Page was extremely important. He should have waited for these people's phantoms to dissipate before contacting Li Mu …
In Changle Palace, Li Mu saw that Xuan Jizi did not speak and frowned. "Senior Brother, this is a great opportunity to realize your dream of revitalizing Fu-lu School. Can you punch the South Sect, kick the North Sect, lead Xuanzong, make the Pill Cauldron and Spirit Array Sects submit to you and become the head of the Six Daoist Sects? It all depends on this. Senior Brother, Senior Brother, say something …"
There was suddenly no sound from the voice transmission box. Li Mu turned it over and looked at it. He was puzzled. "Strange, why is there no sound? Is there no signal here?"
In the Dao Palace of the main peak of Baiyun Mountain.
Xuan Jizi looked at the unfriendly gazes of the five people, and an awkward expression appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jizi, you really are a good Headmaster of Fu-lu School!"
"Fellow Daoist, you have big dreams!"
"Hmph!"
…
The other five Headmasters looked at Xuan Jizi and mocked him.
Xuan Jizi looked at them and suddenly waved his sleeves. A spiritual energy storm swept out, and the five Primordial Spirit phantoms were instantly blown away. Then, Xuan Jizi stood up and said in a low voice, "All fifth realm elders of the various peaks, come to the Dao Palace of the main peak to see me!"
His voice soon echoed throughout the entire White Cloud Mountain.
