"A bunch of nonsense!"
After Li Mu reacted, his face revealed a look of anger as he said, "Who sent back this false information? That person is not responsible at all. It's fine if it's just a fabricated rumor, but if this is an important battle report, how many things will be delayed and how much damage will be caused to the imperial court? His bonus for this year is gone …"
Zhou Yi put down the report and lightly said, "This matter has already spread throughout the entire demonic path. Anyone can find out about it."
Li Mu raised his head to look at her and said, "Your Majesty, please believe this subject. This subject is loyal to my wife and is not …"
No matter how thick-skinned Li Mu was, he could not say the word 'loyal'. He could not even say 'promiscuous' …
Otherwise, where would he place Li Qing, Little White, and Wanwan?
He lightly coughed and said, "This subject is loyal to Your Majesty. How can I have an affair with a demonic path witch? It's even more impossible to impregnate her. This is a rumor, a scandal. This subject has Little White by his side, how can I provoke other foxes?"
Little White's face revealed a bashful expression. She felt that her benefactor's love for her had returned …
Zhou Yi flicked her finger and a flame flew out, burning the report to ashes. She said, "Alright, alright. This Emperor believes you. Go back to work …"
Li Mu walked out of Changle Palace and slowly exhaled.
This Heavenly Lord of Ten Thousand Illusions was truly endless.
Not to mention the demonic path people, even Li Mu himself was moved by the bounty this time.
Li Mu was not interested in becoming the direct disciple of the Myriad Illusion Heaven Monarch or marrying Phantasmagoria.
However, Li Mu was very curious about the page of the Heavenly Book in the Myriad Illusion Heaven Monarch's hands.
It was said that the complete Heavenly Book had a total of twenty-four pages. It contained the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Li Mu had comprehended two of the pages and obtained the inheritance of the Talisman Dao and the Demonic Dao. At the same time, the images left behind in the Heavenly Book also left a deep impression on Li Mu.
What were those giant beasts? Why did the demonic cultivators bang their heads against the sky? What other mysteries were there in the other Heavenly Books?
As the most legendary treasure in the world, there were too many legends about the Heavenly Book. However, without a doubt, once one comprehended the complete Heavenly Book, one would be able to see the Great Dao of this world and uncover the mysteries of the ancient times.
These two things attracted Li Mu much more than Phantasmagoria.
He wondered if the Heaven Monarch of Myriad Illusions would keep his promise and allow him to comprehend the page of the Heavenly Book in his hands if he surrendered himself and brought Li Mu back alive.
Li Mu thought about it carefully and felt that this possibility was not big, so he completely dispelled this idea.
Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, where the Mirage Faction was located.
The Myriad Illusions Lord handed a simple page to Phantasmagoria and said: "If you can't comprehend more, then don't force yourself."
Phantasmagoria nodded and said, "I understand."
She took the page and sank her consciousness into it. Soon, she appeared in an empty space.
This space was filled with a boundless fog. She could only see a few steps away from her. The fog would occasionally tumble, as if something was flying past at high speed.
Phantasmagoria calmed her heart and focused her mind. She tried to use her mind to disperse the fog. The fog in front of her seemed to have thinned a little.
A white figure suddenly passed through the fog.
It was a white fox with two tails. Phantasmagoria's gaze swept past the fox demon and continued to disperse the fog.
This page of the Heavenly Book contained the inheritance of the Fox Clan.
Although the Fox Clan was also demonic, their cultivation was different from that of the demonic cultivators. The ancestors of the Fox Clan had opened up a completely different cultivation path for them.
The weak Fox Clan, when cultivated to the peak, could become the king of the demonic cultivators. They had Heaven Demons as subordinates and Heaven Dragons as mounts. However, as the Heaven Foxes fell one after another, no new Heaven Foxes were born. The Fox Clan gradually declined …
The fog in front of her gradually thinned. More and more fox shadows flew past Phantasmagoria's eyes.
These foxes were two-tailed, three-tailed, four-tailed, and one of them was five-tailed. Phantasmagoria's face still did not reveal a satisfied expression.
Three years ago, she was able to obtain the inheritance of the five-tailed fox demon from the Heavenly Book. Until now, she had not met a six-tailed fox. Back then, her father had obtained the inheritance of the seven-tailed fox by chance. That was why he had the strength and status he had today. If she could meet a six-tailed fox spirit and obtain its inheritance, she would be able to advance to six-tailed at the fastest speed possible.
Unfortunately, to obtain this level of inheritance, besides strength, she also needed luck.
The Heaven Lord of Illusions looked at Phantasmagoria, who was immersed in the Heavenly Book, and silently walked out of the cave.
He looked at a disciple of the Mirage Faction and asked, "Have you found the Demon Emperor's spiritual corpse?"
The disciple shook his head and said, "Heaven Lord, we have not found any traces of it."
The Heaven Lord of Illusions said calmly, "Continue to search …"
The Heavenly Book had fallen into Li Mu's hands. This was an unchangeable fact. However, possessing the Heavenly Book only gave one the possibility to become a powerhouse. It could not immediately make one a powerhouse.
The Six Daoist Sects all had Heavenly Books. Their strongest powerhouses were only in the seventh realm.
What's more, the Heavenly Book of the Demon Clan was useless to the Human Clan.
However, the Demon Emperor's corpse was different. It was the corpse of a Heavenly Demon. If it was handed over to the Corpse Sect and refined, even if it could not restore his peak strength, it would certainly create a powerhouse in the Upper Realm. This was more beneficial than the Heavenly Book.
Yingzhou.
Yingzhou bordered the northeast of the Ancestral Continent. There were many mountains and poisonous barriers in the territory. Although the territory was vast, there were no human countries. There were only poisonous insects and beasts everywhere. The trees and flowers that could survive here were generally highly poisonous.
Very few people knew that the Corpse Sect of the Ten Demonic Sects was in Yingzhou.
Among the Ten Demonic Sects, the Corpse Sect was the most repulsive.
Although the Soul Sect and the Demon Sect had committed all kinds of evil, ghosts were the souls of humans, and demons were also living beings. They shared the same emotions as humans. In some novels, love between humans and ghosts, or between humans and demons, transcending life and death, and transcending races, happened from time to time.
However, no one had ever written a story about humans and corpses. After all, in the eyes of most people, zombies were inhumane creatures that only knew how to suck blood and bite people. They were more terrifying than demons and ghosts.
The people of the Corpse Sect spent all day with corpses. Just thinking about it made them shudder.
Not only the Righteous Sects, but even the Demonic Sects did not like the Corpse Sect.
Their bodies were always filled with thick corpse qi, and they were always thinking about the bodies of others. If a powerhouse of the Demonic Sects died and his corpse was still intact, the people of the Corpse Sect would take the initiative to come and ask for the corpse. If a powerhouse was about to die, they would come in advance and wait to receive their corpse. They did not care about the feelings of the dying person.
Therefore, in the Demonic Sects, the Corpse Sect was like a jinx.
In Yingzhou, in a hollow mountain somewhere, there was a burst of shock.
"What!"
"The White Thearch's cave abode has appeared!"
"There are countless demon corpses from 3,000 years ago inside. The White Thearch's corpse is also inside. That's the corpse of a Ninth Realm powerhouse. It's something that can't be found even in a few hundred years … Why didn't you say so earlier!"
"If I can use a Ninth Realm corpse as material to refine a spirit corpse in this life, even if I die, it'll be worth it …"
…
Figures sat cross-legged on the stone platform in the cave.
Although they were all humans, their bodies were filled with thick corpse qi.
This was not because they were about to die, but because they spent all day with corpses.
Below the stone platform was an extremely wide platform.
On the platform, hundreds of corpses stood neatly. The entire cave was filled with corpse qi.
The figures on the stone platform were all filled with regret. Refining a Ninth Realm demon corpse was something they did not even dare to dream of.
Every Corpse Sect disciple saw this as their life's ultimate goal.
Everyone sighed and lamented that they missed the chance to obtain a Ninth Realm demon corpse.
"I heard that many people died in the Demon Emperor's cave abode. It's a pity that their corpses …"
"When are those old fellows from the various sects going to die? Wouldn't it be great if we could have a Seventh Realm corpse to practice on?"
"I wonder if the Great Elder is really dead. It's a pity that his corpse was not left behind. Even if it's not a Seventh Realm corpse, a peak Sixth Realm corpse would suffice …"
"With the Great Elder's sinister … intelligence, how could he die so easily? It's not like it's the first time he died. His longest death was when he disappeared for ten years before reappearing. Not even two years have passed. Who knows, he might come back on his own one day …"
…
Demon Emperor's cave abode.
Li Mu looked at the ten demon corpses in front of him, deep in thought.
Three thousand years ago, the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth was dense, and powerful cultivators were everywhere. As subordinates of the Demon Emperor, even the weakest of the ten demons was at Xuan Jizi's current level of cultivation.
If he followed the Corpse Sect's top-notch corpse refining techniques, he could at least refine Sixth Realm demon corpses. Two of them even had hopes of reaching Seventh Realm.
Of course, demon corpses of this level were not easy to refine. The amount of materials needed to refine them was enormous. Li Mu had asked Xuan Jizi and the Empress. The materials he needed could not be gathered even if Mount Baiyun and the imperial court combined.
When he thought of this, Li Mu's gaze involuntarily turned to the northeast.
That was the direction of Yingzhou. Very few people knew that the Corpse Sect's headquarters was in the deserted Yingzhou.
When it came to refining corpses, the Corpse Sect was undoubtedly the most professional. With thousands of years of accumulation, they had all the materials Li Mu needed there.
Li Mu thought for a moment, and the aura on his body suddenly changed.
The Empress, who was reading a book lazily in her chair, looked up and glanced at him, asking, "What are you doing?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me, Your Majesty. I'm going to practice in advance …"
