On the surface of the East Sea, there was a gentle breeze. Four figures emerged from the water without a single trace of water on them.
Wan Wan and Little White's faces were flushed. This was their first time seeing the sea, and it was also their first time seeing the beautiful underwater world. The beautiful scene just now had clearly left an indelible impression in their hearts.
Actually, it was not just them. It was also Li Mu's first time seeing such a beautiful scenery.
Although he had been to the aquarium in his previous life, how could the feeling through the thick glass compare to being at the bottom of the sea?
Li Mu looked at the blushing Wanwan and said gently, "You don't owe them anything anymore. Forget about those unhappiness. There are still many beautiful things in this world that are worth discovering."
Wanwan reached out and hugged Li Mu gently. She leaned her head on his chest and said softly, "Thank you, Young Master."
Then, she took the initiative to separate from Li Mu. A faint smile appeared on her face, and the haze in the depths of her eyes also disappeared.
Looking at Wanwan, who had matured a lot in an instant, Li Mu felt both heartache and happiness.
He felt heartache because she had used the betrayal of her family twice in exchange for her ultimate growth.
He was happy because she had finally walked out of the trauma of her childhood.
After giving Wan Wan a deep hug, Li Mu Ruang transformed back into a human form. He put away his dragon horns and retracted his dragon aura. Then, he brought the three girls and flew towards an area shrouded in clouds and mist.
...
Xuanzong was located on the East Sea. It was isolated from the rest of the world and did not interact with the outside world often.
Only at the Daoist Conference held every five years would Xuanzong unveil a corner of its hidden veil.
No one knew how powerful Xuanzong was, but everyone knew that compared to Fu-lu, elixirs, array formations, and so on, Divine Arts were the orthodox Daoism. And Xuanzong was famous for its Divine Arts.
Among the six Daoist sects, the other five sects typically only had two to three Seventh Realm experts. Xuanzong had a total of five Seventh Realm elders. There were even rumors in the outside world that Xuanzong still had Eighth Realm experts who had yet to perish.
When Li Mu and the three girls flew to a large group of islands in the East Sea, they were also shocked by the scene before them.
On the surface of the sea, dozens of islands formed a powerful formation. In the sky, there were countless mountains hanging upside down. Between the mountains, there were five-colored lights connecting them. Cranes were flying back and forth among them. Occasionally, there would be streams of light that emitted a powerful aura.
The Ancestral Court of Fu-lu School looked very shabby compared to the Xuanzong Ancestral Court. As the future headmaster, Li Mu looked at the Xuanzong Mountain Gate from afar and blushed slightly.
No wonder Xuan Jizi didn't come. If Li Mu was the Headmaster, he would be too embarrassed to come.
Looking at other sects, and then looking at his own sect, when he returned to Baiyun Mountain, he would be too ashamed to see the ancestors who had dedicated their lives to the sect.
Li Mu looked at the Xuanzong Ancestral Court and took a deep breath. One day, he would make Fu-lu School the number one Daoist sect. At that time, he would also hold a conference and invite cultivators from all over the world to turn Baiyun Mountain into a Daoist holy land.
But right now, the Daoist holy land was still the Xuanzong Ancestral Court, Penglai Mountain.
There were ten continents and three islands in this world. Everyone knew the locations of the ten continents, but the locations of the three islands weren't fixed. Legend had it that Fangzhang, Penglai, and Kunlun were carried by three giant turtles and moved on the sea. As long as one could find these three immortal islands, they would be able to see the secrets of immortality.
Countless cultivators once went out to sea to search for these three immortal islands. Among them, there was no lack of Sixth Realm and Seventh Realm experts, especially those who were at the end of their lifespans and wanted to find a chance to live. However, no one had ever heard of anyone finding it.
Xuanzong named their sect Mount Penglai because they considered themselves an immortal mountain to set off their status. Although it was a little self-flattering, in the entire Ancestral Province, only they had the strength to do so.
The area near Xuanzong had a large formation set up that prohibited flying. Li Mu brought the three girls to the front of the sect and entered Xuanzong with the cultivators who had just arrived.
Not everyone could enter this conference. The entrance fee was ten pieces of spiritual jade. For someone like Li Mu who was supported by two queens, ten pieces of spiritual jade wasn't much. However, some rogue cultivators would still need to put in some effort to gather ten pieces of spiritual jade.
As the number one sect of Daoism, Xuanzong's method was a little petty, but there was nothing to criticize.
The cultivation of the Xuanzong disciples responsible for collecting spiritual jade at the entrance was not very high. They were only at the second or third realm, but their faces were filled with arrogance. They did not even look Fifth Realm cultivators in the eye.
This was normal. In the number one sect of Daoism, even if they were only guarding the mountain, they were still Xuanzong disciples. In their eyes, even Xuanzong's dogs were superior to outsiders.
Li Mu handed over forty pieces of spiritual jade and entered Xuanzong with the three girls.
Some of the cultivators who came here were alone, but most of them came in groups of three to five. Most of the cultivators who came here wanted to exchange for some treasures. They did not need to worry about their own safety in Xuanzong, but that was no longer the case once they left Xuanzong.
After every conference, there would be cases of people getting greedy for treasures and killing people for their belongings. After a long time, the cultivators who came here in search of fortuitous encounters learned to travel in groups.
Even though the cultivators who came here came in groups, it was still very rare for a man to have three beauties by his side like Li Mu. This attracted the attention of many people.
The male cultivators revealed looks of envy as they pointed at Li Mu's back.
"This person is so lucky!"
"Apart from being a little handsome, he looks very ordinary. However, he has three beauties by his side. Could he be from some cultivation clan or the disciple of some large sect?"
"The women of the cultivation world are not so superficial as to only look at the face. I think he must have an extraordinary background …"
Many female cultivators who walked through Xuanzong's entrance were also discussing softly.
"Look at his bearing. He must be the disciple of a famous sect."
"I don't think so. He's so handsome and fair. Maybe he's a Xiao Bai who was raised by a high-level woman …"
"Definitely not. If he was raised by a high-level woman, why would he have these three beauties by his side? It can't be that these three beauties are raising him, right?"
"You don't understand. It's precisely because there are high-level women raising him that he can raise others. Of course, it's also possible that he has some special skills, which is why he has these three beauties following him …"
"It'd be great if he was a disciple of a large sect. This person looks like a lecher. With my looks, if he takes a fancy to me, I won't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future."
"Forget it. With your looks, he wouldn't want you even if you gave him for free. You should just give up …"
…
Li Mu and Wanwan walked in front, and their faces darkened from the gossip behind them.
This group of gossipy women actually hit the nail on the head.
His Dharma treasures, spirit medicines, and spirit jades basically all came from the Empress and Phantom Princess.
However, there was nothing he could do about this. Putting aside the fact that he was not the Talisman Puppet Sect's Sect Master yet, even if he became the Talisman Puppet Sect's Sect Master in the future, and the entire Talisman Puppet Sect would belong to him, he would not be as wealthy as Huan Ji or the Empress. They had the Demon Nation and the Great Zhou Dynasty behind them. How could they compare to the strength of a nation?
Li Mu couldn't refute these women's words even if he wanted to. He could only lead the three women a few steps forward and arrive at a large plaza ahead of them.
The plaza's floor was paved with countless spirit jades. The entire plaza was divided into crisscrossing streets. The streets were very wide and filled with small stalls. There were tables set up by the stalls, and all kinds of cultivation supplies were placed on the tables.
There were pills, Fu-lu, Dharma artifacts, books, and so on …
Behind the tables, there were people loudly hawking their wares.
"Profound-level Divine Travel Talisman, 10 spirit jades for one."
"Middle-level Essence Nurturing Pill, 100 spirit jades for one bottle."
"500 spirit jades, Profound-level flying sword, please take it away …"
"Basic Fu-lu, Basic Array Formation Encyclopedia, price can be negotiated …"
…
Standing in front of the plaza and looking at the countless inverted immortal mountains, it was like a scene in the Divine Capital. In Li Mu's heart, the Eastern Sea Xuanzong, the number one sect of Daoism, didn't seem like much …
