According to Li Mu's information, most of the 24 pages of Heavenly Books were in the hands of him and the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect had been plotting for 10,000 years in the ten continents. Besides the six Daoist sects, almost all of the known Heavenly Books had been obtained by them. The Shen Nation's three Buddhist sects had their Heavenly Books stolen long ago. The extinction of hundreds of sects in history seemed to have an inseparable relationship with the Heavenly Books being stolen by the Demon Sect.
Li Mu had the Heavenly Books of the five Daoist sects, the Monster Race, the Fox Race, the Dragon Race, and the Buddhist Heart Sect. They had a total of 9 pages. The Demon Sect had 10,000 years of accumulation, so the number of pages in their hands was no less than his. He and the Demon Sect had nearly 20 pages of Heavenly Books. There were very few Heavenly Books in the outside world, and every page was something that had to be fought for.
Li Mu was determined to obtain the page of Heavenly Book in the Ghost Realm.
If Illusion Princess could obtain this information, then the Demon Sect must also know. Their sense of smell towards Heavenly Books was incomparably keen.
Not long after Illusion Princess finished speaking, the Empress' spirit snail vibrated again. Li Mu made a 'shh' gesture to Illusion Princess. After injecting magic power into the spirit snail, the Empress' voice immediately sounded, "The Ju Wei just sent back news that a Heavenly Book has appeared in the Ghost Realm. A 'Li has already brought people to investigate."
Li Mu, "I already know. I'm preparing to set off for the Ghost Realm."
Zhou Yi was silent for a moment. Then she asked, "How did you know? Were you with that vixen again?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. In terms of the speed of news, even the Fu-lu School could not compare to a nation. To be able to receive news earlier than the Great Zhou court, it must be the Demon Nation that was closer to the Ghost Realm.
Illusion Princess could no longer endure. She coldly snorted and said, "You only allow him to accompany you, not me. You're so overbearing. If you have the ability, then make him stay by your side forever …"
"You, you seducing vixen!"
"Haha, I admit that I am a vixen. Someone is clearly the same as me, but she always thinks of herself as the empress …"
"You!"
"Am I wrong?"
…
Seeing Phantom Princess and Queen quarrel with each other, Li Mu tried to talk them out of it several times but to no avail. He could only put on a serious face and shouted, "Are you guys done?!"
Huan Ji secretly looked at Li Mu. Seeing that he was really angry, she immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.
On the other side of the spirit snail, the Empress also fell silent.
Li Mu continued, "One is the Empress of the Great Zhou, and the other is the Queen of the Ten Thousand Demons. They don't even see each other, yet they're arguing with each other across the spiritual snail. What a scandal! Phantom Princess is not allowed to stir up trouble, and His Majesty is not allowed to target her. Otherwise, I'll return to Mount Baiyun and cultivate in seclusion.
The first to admit defeat was Phantom Princess. She pulled Li Mu's sleeve and said in a low voice, "I was wrong. I won't talk about her like that in the future …"
Zhou Yi was silent for a while and also said in a low voice, "At most, at most, I won't call her a vixen anymore …"
The two of them, one was stronger than the other, and one had a higher status than the other. If Li Mu didn't show some of his authority as the head of the family, when Phantom Princess broke through, he wouldn't be able to control the family anymore.
When the two of them were here, he had to be fair and impartial.
After putting away the spiritual snail, he hugged Phantom Princess again and said, "I didn't mean to scold you. It's just that you're making things difficult for me. I never thought that the two of you could be like sisters, but don't always be at each other's throats and not give in …"
Phantom Princess snorted and said, "She was the one who said that to me first …"
Li Mu said, "She's petty. It's not the first time you know that. Just give in to her …"
Phantom Princess felt much better. She raised her head and asked, "Then tell me, am I more sensible than Zhou Yi?"
Li Mu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, you're the most sensible …"
Half a day later, after comforting Phantom Princess, Li Mu flew out of the Thousand Fox Country. He took out the spiritual snail and injected his power into it. Soon, the Empress's voice came from the other side. "Go accompany your Thousand Demon Queen. Don't worry about me."
Li Mu asked, "Your Majesty, are you still angry?"
Zhou Yi said, "I'm not angry."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I knew that Your Majesty is the most open-minded. I just scolded Phantom Princess and told her to learn from Your Majesty. Don't throw a tantrum and think about the big picture …"
Zhou Yi's tone became gentler. "You saw it too. She's the one who always goes against me."
Li Mu said, "She grew up in the mountains and doesn't know the rules. I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
Zhou Yi gave a light snort and said, "It's good that you know …"
The Empress was obviously no longer angry. Li Mu also let out a long sigh in his heart. He was more and more aware that there were too many women in the backyard, and each one of them was not a simple person. If he wanted to live a peaceful life, he had to learn how to talk to people and ghosts. When necessary, he had to learn how to talk to people and ghosts.
This wasn't cheating, but a white lie. It was also a necessary skill for a lecherous person.
After leaving the Demon Country, he made spiritual snail porridge with the Empress while flying south.
The Ghost Region of Youdu was to the west of the Great Zhou and to the south of the Demon Country. It was a mysterious place shrouded in thick fog. Compared to the Demon Country, there were even fewer people in Youdu. Even human cultivators wouldn't go too deep.
The entire Youdu was shrouded in thick fog. With the eyesight of a human, they couldn't even see their fingers when they stretched out their hands. Even cultivators of the three middle realms couldn't sense the situation three hundred yards away.
This fog wasn't ordinary either. It was filled with baleful aura. If a mortal came in contact with it, they would fall seriously ill or die suddenly. Cultivators couldn't replenish their spirit qi from it, so very few of them went deep into the Ghost Region.
However, this was the sacred ground of ghost cultivators. Souls were originally of the yin attribute, so there was an inexhaustible amount of baleful aura. To them, it was a natural place to cultivate.
Great Zhou, Jiangyin County.
To the west of Jiangyin County was the Ghost Region that the commoners feared. After passing through a bamboo forest shrouded in fog, one would reach the boundary of the Ghost Region. This place was known as the "Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts". It was a forbidden place in the hearts of the commoners, and they had to be careful when they went near it.
Standing outside the forest, one could occasionally see wandering souls and ghosts. Due to the formation set up by the government outside the forest, the ghosts in the forest didn't dare to walk out of the bamboo forest. However, to cultivators, the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts was an excellent place to obtain soul energy.
Soul Condensation Realm cultivators thirsted for soul energy. The simplest method, which was allowed by the imperial court, was to obtain soul energy by killing ghosts. There weren't many ghosts in the Great Zhou, and even if there were, they would hide everywhere. However, the Ghost Region didn't lack soul bodies. Therefore, cultivators would often enter the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts in groups of three to five to hunt the ghosts here.
The Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts was the outermost area of the Ghost Region. There weren't any powerful ghosts here, and most of them were some yin spirits that didn't have the power to resist, as well as a small number of vengeful spirits and evil spirits. As long as one didn't go too deep into the Ghost Region, there wouldn't be much danger.
Outside the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts, there was a town. There were a few inns built in the town specifically for these cultivators to stay.
Li Mu wasn't in a hurry to go deep into the Ghost Region. Instead, he found an inn to stay in. He planned to first investigate some information about the Ghost Region. Up until now, he knew very little about the Ghost Region.
The Empress said that Shangguan Li had brought people to the Ghost Region. After Li Mu arrived here, he used a sound transmission magic tool to contact her, but he found that he couldn't reach her.
He had wasted quite a bit of time on Huan Ji. It seemed that Shangguan Li had arrived here before him, and it was very likely that she had already entered the Ghost Region. Another mysterious thing about the Ghost Region was that the fog that filled the Ghost Region had a strange power. As long as one entered the Ghost Region, all kinds of sound transmission magic tools couldn't be used, and they couldn't be used for long-distance communication.
Because cultivators were constantly coming and going, the town was bustling. Other than the inns, there were also shops that sold Fu-lu, pills, and magic tools. Other than that, there were also shops that sold maps of the Ghost Region.
Li Mu glanced at the Fu-lu. They were all low-level auxiliary Fu-lu, used to destroy evil and kill ghosts. Their quality was average, but they were enough to deal with low-level ghosts. What he was interested in was the map of the Ghost Region.
However, when Li Mu used a few spirit jades to buy a map, he realized that the map only recorded a few areas at the edge of the Ghost Region. With the Ghost Region's uniqueness, without a complete map, even if he entered, he would be blind.
Li Mu walked to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have a map of the entire Ghost Region?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "How could a small shop have such a thing? But young man, I advise you to walk around outside. The Ghost Region is not a good place. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. Don't lose your life before you catch a ghost."
Li Mu had originally planned to ask the Empress, but when he walked out of the shop, a fragrant wind suddenly blew past him. A female cultivator walked in front of him and asked, "Fellow cultivator, are you also planning to go deep into the Ghost Region?"
