South Sect.
An Inner Sect Elder came to a Dao Palace and bowed, "Sect Master, Grand Elder, Elder Miao Xuanzi of Xuanzong has come to our sect. He said he has something important to discuss and wants to see the Sect Master."
Xuanzong's Grand Elder's birthday celebration had just ended. The four sects did not send any Transcendent powerhouses to the East Sea to congratulate him, causing Xuanzong to once again lose face in front of the cultivators of the Zu Continent. Miao Xuanzi must have come for this matter.
The Southern Sect had sent a Grand Supreme Elder to the Talisman Puppet Sect's Sect Master Xuan Jizi's Dual Cultivation Ceremony. The Southern Sect had sent a Grand Supreme Elder to the Profound Sect's Grand Supreme Elder's 150th birthday. However, the Southern Sect had only sent a First Seat. If they couldn't give them a suitable reason, they would probably offend the Profound Sect.
However, at this moment, South Sect's Sect Master and Grand Elder had no time to pay attention to Miao Xuanzi. They all stared at a jade slip floating in the void with a strange light in their eyes.
"It's really a new supernatural power!"
"Three hundred years ago, a senior in the sect only comprehended part of this supernatural power. Ling Jizi actually completed it …"
"As expected, it's really the Heart of Seven Orifices. The rise of South Sect is just around the corner …"
…
Half an hour ago, Hyun Jinko of Fu-lu School sent a jade slip. After reading the contents of the jade slip, the three Transcendent powerhouses of South Sect could not help but be moved.
This jade slip recorded the contents of South Sect's Heavenly Scripture.
What they comprehended from the Heavenly Scripture was recorded in this jade slip. What they did not comprehend from the Heavenly Scripture was recorded in this jade slip. This was enough to show that Ling Jizi had the ability to decipher the Heavenly Scripture. Although ten years was a long time, it was nothing compared to the rise of South Sect.
After South Sect's Sect Master calmed down, he said to the Taoist priest, "Tell Miao Xuanzi that I and the two Grand Elders are in seclusion to comprehend the supernatural power. Let Head Ling Wuzi receive us."
To be honest, Xuanzong's strength was well known.
Perhaps only the Five Sects combined would have the qualifications to compete with Xuanzong. The South Sect originally didn't want to offend Xuanzong again and again for the sake of Fu-lu School, but who told the Fu-lu School to give them too much …
The Six Sects were all Daoist sects. One made them work like cattle and horses, while the other gave them a chance to rise. No matter how stupid they were, they should know which side to stand on.
In a certain hall of the South Sect, Miao Xuanzi had just learned the news that the South Sect Leader and Supreme Elder were in seclusion.
He had just come from the Northern Sect. Not long ago, the Northern Sect had told him the same thing.
This meant that the North and South Sects did not want to see him at all. Miao Xuanzi had already felt the seriousness of the situation. He did not even feel angry in his heart. Instead, he flew in the direction of the Eastern Sea with a heavy heart.
Shizun's guess should be correct. The Fu-lu School must have given these sects great benefits. How great would the benefits be for them to choose to oppose Xuanzong?
Miao Xuanzi vaguely felt that Xuanzong had missed a great opportunity …
Eastern Sea, Xuanzong.
In recent days, the atmosphere of the entire Xuanzong had continued to be gloomy. No one had expected that the Daoist exchange meeting would become a turning point for Xuanzong's luck. Before the exchange meeting, Xuanzong, as the number one sect of Daoism, had limitless glory. After the exchange meeting, Xuanzong was hated by everyone and could only stay in the Eastern Sea. The disciples of Xuanzong were too ashamed to walk around outside.
Many people were dissatisfied with the decision of the upper echelons of the sect, but they could not change anything. Out of trust in Tianjizi, they hid all their doubts in the bottom of their hearts.
In a space of the Flask Heaven.
Tianjizi held a turtle shell in both hands and shook it gently. There was a clattering sound from the turtle shell. Not long after, a few copper coins were thrown out of it.
Miao Yunzi sat cross-legged on the side and asked, "Uncle-Master, how's the divination?"
Tianjizi said leisurely, "It's five percent more."
"The probability of the cultivation world resisting the catastrophe has increased by five percent?" Miao Yunzi's face was filled with shock. He muttered, "It seems that this five percent change should be the reason why the other four sects broke off relations with Xuanzong. Uncle-Master, you're right …"
The old man did not speak. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Miao Yunzi said nervously, "Uncle-Master, you …"
Tian Jizi casually wiped away the blood and casually said, "Don't worry, this old man won't die for a while, and I can't die. If this old man dies, then the ten continents will lose even half of their vitality …"
…
Great Zhou, Divine Capital.
In the past two years, Divine Capital had become much quieter.
A few years ago, the new and old parties fought openly and secretly, stirring up the entire Divine Capital. The people had no way to make a living. Now, the Xiao Royal Family had declined. Not only did they have no right to speak in the imperial court, even the powerhouses guarding the ancestral shrine in the palace were chased out of the palace.
Whether it was the people or the officials, they were well aware of a certain matter.
That was, the Xiao Royal Family, who had controlled Great Zhou for hundreds of years, was probably going to lose the imperial power forever.
The old party had no chance at all. It should have been the new party's victory, but the Zhou family and its wings were also constantly losing power. In the imperial court, led by Zhang Chun, most of the officials were loyal to the Empress. The original supporters of the two parties had all cut ties with them.
The biggest contributor to Divine Capital's current situation was, of course, Lord Li Mu.
He was the Empress's most trusted official, the guardian of the people. He had swept away most of the internal and external troubles for the Great Zhou. He was using practical actions to fulfill the oath he made in his early years.
He set his heart for heaven and earth, set his life for the people, inherited the lost knowledge of the past Saints, and established peace for all ages.
In the hearts of the people, Lord Li could be said to be a perfect person, apart from being a little lecherous.
In recent days, there were rumors in Divine Capital that someone had seen Lord Li and Her Majesty's personal female official, Shangguan Li, having a private meeting by the river. Their behavior was very intimate. These rumors had even spread to the palace, and even the palace maids were talking about it.
"Lord Li is an important official of the imperial court, and Commander Shangguan is also one of Her Majesty's most trusted guards. Isn't it normal for them to discuss national affairs together?"
"Forget it. I would believe it if it were someone else discussing national affairs, but Lord Li and Lord Shangguan are together all day long. Maybe they'll fall in love with each other over time …"
"Who wouldn't like a man like Lord Li? I see Lord Li every day too. Why didn't he fall in love with me over time?"
…
In the imperial palace, a few palace maids in the corner of the corridor whispered. Naturally, it could not escape the ears of Mr. Mei and Shangguan Li.
In Changle Palace, Mr. Mei stood beside Shangguan Li and asked nosily, "Ah Li, when did you get together with Li Mu? You didn't even tell me. That's so mean …"
Shangguan Li's face was livid. She gritted her teeth and said, "What are they looking at? When did I get together with Li Mu by the river?"
Mr. Mei murmured, "If it's not you, then it must look like you. Li Mu is really too much. The real Ah Li is right next to him, but he has to find an imposter …"
The palace maids outside had no idea what was going on. They continued to talk.
"It's not strange that Lord Li is with Commander Shangguan. If he's with Mr. Mei …"
"Please don't. This will ruin Lord Li's image in my eyes …"
"Why don't you think Mr. Mei is so old? Why isn't he married yet …"
…
Beside Shangguan Li, Mr. Mei's face was also livid.
Several palace maids on duty near Changle Palace were punished to do laundry in the Laundry Department because they were negligent in their duties. Mr. Mei was still angry. He said angrily, "Why should I be a good match for you? My image will be ruined …"
She couldn't calm down. The sky above Fairy's Capital changed again.
It wasn't the first time this phenomenon had happened. Even the people of Fairy's Capital were used to it. Naturally, the two of them didn't make a fuss.
The shadow of a bell flew into the dark clouds. The dark clouds quickly dissipated.
Soon, Li Mu and the Empress walked out from the back of the palace.
With Li Mu's current cultivation base, he had no problem writing and refining low-grade Heaven-level talismans and pills. As for middle-grade Heaven-level, high-grade, and Saint-level talismans, because they exceeded the upper limit of Li Mu's magic power, he could only cooperate with the Empress.
In Changle Palace, Shangguan Li looked at Li Mu with hostility.
Mr. Mei looked at Li Mu with hostility.
Li Mu looked at them and asked curiously, "Why? Did I offend you?"
Mr. Mei said, "Someone said that they saw you and Ah Li having a private meeting by the river."
Li Mu felt guilty. He said, "That's just a rumor. You can ask Ah Li if you don't believe me. We've never been alone."
Mr. Mei asked, "Then why would there be such a rumor?"
Li Mu shook his head. "How would I know? Oh right, His Majesty and I have something for you …"
He threw two jade bottles to Mr. Mei and Shangguan Li. "These are Saint-level Breakthrough Pills. Your powers are already at the peak of the Creation Realm. Try and see if you can break through to Dongxuan."
Saint-level pills that could help people break through to the Fifth Level were extremely precious. Mr. Mei was shocked. "These, these are for us?"
"You don't want them?" Li Mu glanced at her. "If you don't want them, I'll give them to someone else."
Before he finished, the jade bottles in Mr. Mei and Shangguan Li's hands disappeared.
Li Mu gave the low-grade pills to the Danding Sect to make. He and the Empress made the Saint-level and Saint-level pills themselves. This time, Li Mu and the Empress used more than a month to make four Saint-level Breakthrough Pills for the Creation Realm.
Some of the materials used were from the Great Zhou Treasury, and some were from the Fu-lu School.
For the sake of fairness, two of the four pills were given to the Imperial Court and two to the Fu-lu School.
Lord Mei and Shangguan Li were undoubtedly the most suitable candidates for the two pills of the imperial court, considering their status, status, experience, and how much they were favored. The courtiers would not have any objections to such an arrangement.
As for the other two pills, Li Mu planned to take them back to the Fu-lu School and give them to Liu Hanyan and Li Qing.
The Imperial Court and the School would each provide half of the materials for making the pills, and half of the pills.
This arrangement was fair and reasonable.
The two Taishang Elders had planned to pass on their powers to them before their lifespans were completely exhausted. Theoretically speaking, they were also the first in line to take the pills. When the time came, the two Taishang Elders could pass on their powers to other disciples.
Li Mu considered whether or not to let Wanwan and Xiao Bai also enter the Fu-lu School. Using the School's resources on the Fu-lu School's disciples was reasonable and reasonable. This would prevent people from saying that he was abusing his power for personal gain in the future.
When they returned to Mount Baiyun, Li Mu took Wanwan and Xiao Bai with him.
He let Wanwan become a disciple of Yuzhen Zi, and Xiao Bai become a disciple of Dan Yangzi. From now on, they were all third-generation disciples of the Fu-lu School. They were only disciples of the two Heads in name. Their specific cultivation was still under Li Mu's guidance.
Xuan Jizi had no objections to Li Mu giving the two Mirror Breaking Pills to Liu Hanyan and Li Qing. The two of them had already gone into seclusion to adjust their transcendence energy and were preparing to take the pills to break through their cultivation.
With nothing to do, Li Mu returned to Yangqiu County.
He originally wanted to find Zhang Shan for a drink or two, but two years ago, Zhang Shan had moved out of Yangqiu County and bought a residence in the Shen 'du. He was usually not in the Shen' du, but rather in the Great Zhou to expand his business. Half a year ago, he had already opened a shop in the State of Yong.
Li Mu made another trip to the Jinshan Temple. The abbot of the Jinshan Temple had already changed. Xuandu and the original abbot had already left for the ancestral court of the Xin Sect.
Li Mu finally arrived at the Bay of Clear Water. The small house by the water was still there, and the furnishings inside hadn't changed in the slightest. However, there was no one there.
Ever since she had left without saying goodbye, Li Mu hadn't heard from Su He again.
At that time, Li Mu didn't completely understand her feelings. If he had the chance to do it all over again, he would have kept her by his side no matter what.
Returning to the small courtyard he had once lived in, he felt the powerful transcendence energy in his body and thought back to everything he had experienced in the past few years. In just a few years, he had gone from a lowly bailiff of Yangqiu County to a powerful official of the Great Zhou, the future headmaster of the Fu-lu School, and the State Preceptor of the Yao Kingdom. Li Mu lay on the bed, his hands behind his head. He felt as if he was in a dream.
Not a sound could be heard beside him, except for the sound of insects.
In a rare moment, Li Mu forgot everything. Lying on the wooden bed, he had a dream.
In his dream, he saw a golden door. Li Mu wanted to touch it, but he couldn't get close. It was only a few hundred steps, but he walked for an entire night.
It was like a distant snowy mountain. It seemed to be right in front of him, but when he tried to get closer, he discovered that the path was endless.
Even when he woke up, Li Mu was still reminiscing about this dream.
In his dream, he desperately wanted to pass through that door, but he couldn't even get close. That feeling of helplessness made him feel incomparable despair.
Li Mu took out the Heavenly Book in his hand and stacked it on top of each other. Using his Divine Sense, he saw a door that was exactly the same as the one in his dream. Seeing this door in reality, Li Mu also wanted to go through it to find out what was inside.
However, this door wasn't real. If he wanted to understand its mysteries, he would probably have to gather more Heavenly Tomes.
Speaking of the other Heavenly Tomes, the first one that Li Mu thought of was naturally Xuanzong.
Unfortunately, he and Xuanzong had already become enemies. Xuanzong wouldn't give the Heavenly Tomes to Li Mu for free, and Li Mu wouldn't help them decipher the Heavenly Tomes. This was no different from helping their enemy.
Other than Xuanzong's page, only the four Buddhist sects were confirmed to have the Heavenly Tomes.
Among the four Buddhist sects, three of them were in the Shen Nation. Li Mu didn't have any relationship with them. It could even be said that there was some friction between them. He probably couldn't borrow the Heavenly Tomes, nor could he use them to decipher the Heavenly Tomes in exchange. After all, the three sects belonged to the enemy nation. In Li Mu's heart, their position wasn't much higher than Xuanzong's.
The only Heavenly Tomes he could come into contact with were in the Heart Sect.
Although the Heart Sect was also a Buddhist sect, it was a local Buddhist sect in the Great Zhou. It also cooperated with the imperial court. Moreover, Xuandu was in the Heart Sect. It was very possible to make a deal with the Heart Sect.
After making a quick decision, Li Mu walked into the courtyard. With a step, his figure disappeared.
