"Immortality …"
The Rakshasa King, Asura King, and the other ghosts couldn't help but purse their lips. Including their lifespan when they were human, their lifespan was no more than three sixty years. Even in these 180 years, they had spent most of their time in seclusion cultivation.
As a cultivator, whether human, demon, or ghost, who didn't want to live forever?
Li Mu's expression was indifferent, but his heart wasn't calm either. The pursuit of immortality was driven by human instincts. Immortality was the ultimate goal that all cultivators pursued.
If the complete twenty-four pages of the Heavenly Book contained the secret of immortality, Li Mu, who had ten pages, was probably the closest person to this secret.
Whether it was for the stability of the Ten Continents or to pry into the secret of immortality, a real conflict would erupt between him and the Demon Sect sooner or later.
At this time, the old ghost servant looked at Su He and respectfully said, "Ghost Lord's cultivation isn't low, but it's far from enough. For thousands of years, the Demon Sect has been searching for the Heavenly Book. They already know that the Heavenly Book is in your hands and will definitely send more experts to the Ghost Realm to snatch it. You must raise your cultivation as soon as possible to have the power to resist the Demon Sect …"
The ghost servant's worries weren't without reason. Li Mu had already confirmed from Feng that the Third Ancestor of the Demonic Path was indeed at the Eighth Realm. With his ten thousand years of experience, ordinary Eighth Realm experts might not be his match.
Fortunately, the Third Ancestor of the Demonic Path seemed to be unable to step into the Zu Continent for some reason. Otherwise, the Demonic Path would sweep through everything on the Zu Continent.
Su He's cultivation was at the Sixth Realm and could control Sixth Realm wandering souls and ghost cultivators. When she reached the Seventh Realm, those Seventh Realm wandering souls would also be under her control. At that time, the entire Ghost Realm would be under her control.
In order to help her raise her cultivation quickly, Li Mu integrated the four ghost kings and the Soul Hall's sphere of influence and built statues of her in the five main cities of the Ghost Realm for all the ghosts in the city to worship.
Among all the cultivation methods, telekinesis was the easiest way to raise one's cultivation.
The abundant Yin Qi of the Ghost Realm also provided her with an endless supply of cultivation resources. Li Mu gave the Ghost Heavenly Book to her after deciphering it. Next, she would have to rely on herself to cultivate.
One month later, Jiangyin County.
Recently, something big happened in Jiangyin County, which shocked the entire cultivation world.
The Great Zhou's Jiangyin County bordered the Ghost Domain. In order to obtain soul power, cultivators would often enter the Ghost Domain in groups to hunt wandering souls. The wandering souls at the border of the Ghost Domain were not strong. As long as one did not go too deep, there would not be too much danger.
But starting from half a month ago, fifth realm and even sixth realm wandering souls and ghost cultivators began to appear frequently at the borders of the ghost realm. All the human cultivators who entered the ghost realm were chased out by them.
Since then, almost no human cultivators dared to approach the Ghost Domain.
Without a doubt, something big must have happened in the Ghost Realm. After the Jiangyin County government discovered this abnormal matter, they immediately reported it to the Imperial Court. The Great Zhou court attached great importance to this matter and sent several consecrators to investigate.
However, these imperial consecrators came out a few days after entering the Ghost Domain and brought a piece of news.
Not long ago, a powerful cultivator appeared in the Ghost Domain. She subdued the five major factions of the Ghost Domain and unified the Ghost Domain. She was worshipped as the Ghost Lord. From then on, whether it was the ghost cultivators or wandering souls of the Ghost Domain, they all belonged to the Ghost Lord. Cultivators were forbidden from entering the Ghost Domain to hunt. Those who violated this rule would be killed without mercy.
When this news came out, it caused a huge uproar in the cultivation world.
Not only did this mean that the Ghost Domain was no longer a chaotic place ruled by heroes, but since the Yao Nation was unified, there was another powerful faction near the Zu Continent.
The situation on the continent would definitely change because of the unification of the Ghost Domain. At the same time, the cultivators of the Zu Continent would lose a treasured place to obtain cultivation resources.
Fortunately, although the situation in the Ghost Domain had changed greatly, it had shown goodwill to the Great Zhou court. The Ghost Domain's master sent an envoy to the Great Zhou court to bring a non-aggression agreement.
This was naturally great news for the people of the Great Zhou.
For hundreds of years, the Great Zhou had been facing threats from the Yao Nation, the Ghost Domain, and the countries in the south. Now that the Shen Nation had changed masters, it sent an envoy to the Great Zhou not long ago to express its submission. The other small countries in the south also sent tributes year after year and were extremely obedient.
As for the Yao Nation and the Ghost Domain, it was the first time they had signed an agreement with the Great Zhou to not invade each other and to mutually benefit each other.
This was something that had never happened since the establishment of the Great Zhou, or even since the birth of a unified central dynasty on the Zu Continent. Her Majesty the Empress had been on the throne for many years. Together with Lord Li, she had quelled foreign invasions and resolved internal troubles. Her achievements had already surpassed that of the previous emperors, allowing the Great Zhou's national power to reach an unprecedented peak.
Jiangyin County, the border between the Great Zhou and the Ghost Domain.
Two figures walked out of the fog. Li Mu glanced back. Shangguan Li glanced at him and said, "If you can't bear to leave, I can go back to Shen Du alone to report on my mission."
Li Mu withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go …"
This month, he had been helping Su He manage the affairs in the Ghost Domain. The major forces had just been unified, and there were many complicated matters that needed to be dealt with. Fortunately, this was Li Mu's old profession. He had already helped the Empress and Phantom Princess with the same thing countless times.
It was hard to say. He was only one person, but he had to take care of the hearts of the Great Zhou, the Yao Nation, and the Ghost Domain. He could only blame his women for being too capable. Two of the ten continents were under their control.
Not only did she have to cultivate, but she also had to learn how to manage the affairs of a nation. Su He would be very busy in the future. Although Li Mu wanted to share some of her burden, he had stayed in the Ghost Domain for too long. If he didn't leave soon, other places would probably catch fire.
Phantom Princess was still in seclusion trying to break through to the Seven Tails. Li Mu and Shangguan Li went to Baiyun Mountain first. Then, they brought Liu Hanyan and Li Qing back to Shen Du together.
Liu Hanyan and Li Qing both knew of Su He's existence. On the way back, Li Mu told them everything that had happened in the Ghost Domain. Then, Liu Hanyan rolled her eyes the entire way. With Phantom Princess and the Empress as a foundation, it was not difficult for them to accept Su He.
However, it was not easy to get past the Empress.
In Changle Palace, the Empress sat on the dragon throne with Zhong Ling in her arms. Shangguan Li and Mr. Mei stood on either side of her. Li Mu stood below, reporting to her.
"The Ghost Domain and the Demon Path all wanted that page of the Ghost Domain's Heavenly Book. Fortunately, it did not fall into their hands. In addition, before I came back, I subdued the Ghost Domain's major forces. From now on, the Great Zhou will not have to worry about the Ghost Domain's invasion …"
Zhou Yi looked at him indifferently and said, "You subdued more than just the Ghost Domain's forces, right?"
The Empress was obviously implying something. Li Mu raised his head and glanced at Shangguan Li, who was standing beside her. Shangguan Li snorted coldly and said, "Don't think that I will help you hide this from Her Majesty."
Li Mu looked at the Empress and smiled awkwardly. "Her Majesty already knows …"
Zhou Yi looked at Li Mu angrily and said, "Is it because Hanyan is not beautiful enough, Li Qing is not gentle enough, Wanwan and Xiao Bai are not obedient enough, or is it because that fox is not … charming enough? Why don't you know how to be satisfied?"
Li Mu sighed helplessly. "It's because of the debt from before …"
Zhou Yi had clearly thought about this problem. After glaring at Li Mu, she pointed at the imperial table in front of them and said, "Ah Li, grind the ink for him."
There was paper and brush on the imperial table. Shangguan Li walked over and began to grind the ink with ease.
Then, Zhou Yi looked at Li Mu and said, "Write."
Li Mu was puzzled and asked, "Write what?"
Zhou Qiong said indifferently, "What other debts do you owe, and what other sisters and sisters do you have? Write them all down for me. I'm not an unreasonable person. Before I met you, I didn't care about the debts you owed. But from now on, if you continue to provoke foxes and ghosts and have new sisters and sisters, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Li Mu looked up at the Empress. Could it be that this was a piece of paper to exempt him from liability? Could it be that the Empress would not care about the names he wrote on this paper? Was the Empress not afraid that he would randomly write down eight or ten names?
Li Mu was not so stupid. This was obviously the Empress testing him. He shook his head and said firmly, "Your Majesty, there are no more."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "I can see that all the young and beautiful women around you are likely to be your creditors. Who else do you know? Write them down for me."
Li Mu finally realized that the Empress wanted to completely cut off his chances of womanizing in the future. If the names that did not appear on this paper today were to be related to him in the future, it would mean that Li Mu did not keep his promise, and she would not be polite.
The Empress would definitely pay special attention to the names that appeared on this paper in the future, and would not let Li Mu be involved with them …
This was a good plan!
Li Mu glanced at the Empress. Zhou Yi snorted and said, "Write!"
If he did not write, he was afraid that he would not be able to pass this test. Li Mu helplessly picked up the brush and began to think about which young and beautiful women were around him.
After a moment, he began to write.
"Yinxin, Tingxin, Fulin, Hu Liu, Ah Li, Mei …"
Shangguan Li stood behind Li Mu. When she saw her name, although her expression was calm, her heart was shy and complicated. When Mr. Mei saw the word "Mei", the corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile.
After Li Mu wrote the word "Mei", he suddenly remembered that Mr. Mei was beautiful and charming, but he was not young anymore. So he picked up the brush and gently crossed out the word "Mei".
Then, a murderous intent came from behind, making him shudder.
