Li Mu was no stranger to the Heart of Seven Orifices. In fact, he was quite familiar with it.
It was precisely because of this special physique that the Southern and Northern Sects, Spirit Array Faction and the other sects were relieved to let him comprehend the Heavenly Book. Every once in a while, Li Mu would give them a portion of the Heavenly Book he had deciphered. They did not have any doubts about his special physique.
In fact, he had only used the Clear Heart Technique.
Li Mu had originally believed that the Heart of Seven Orifices was only a legend. He did not expect that such a constitution really existed. If the princess of Yong, who had been kidnapped by the Demonic Dao, truly possessed the Heart of Seven Orifices Constitution, then the worries of this elder from the Yong imperial family were not without reason.
Now, Li Mu had ten pages of a Heavenly Book in his hands. For the last 10,000 years, the Demonic Path had been searching for and competing for Heavenly Books. The number of Heavenly Books they grasped was likely no less than Li Mu's. Although the Heavenly Books were not extremely powerful offensive magic tools like the Sun Shooting Bow, every page of a Heavenly Book was a precious seed.
The difference between the Sun Shooting Bow and the Heavenly Book was the difference between giving a man a fish and teaching a man to fish.
The Sun Shooting Bow could make a person strong and invincible within the same realm. It could even kill those of a higher realm. It specialized in all kinds of fancy divine abilities and could break through ten thousand techniques with a single arrow.
The Heavenly Tomes passed down a seed of fire. It wouldn't be of much use in a short period of time, but it would only take a hundred years to cultivate a powerful sect and a prosperous country. Compared to the ten thousand years of the Demonic Path, a hundred years was too short. If the Demonic Path's Heavenly Tomes were completely deciphered, their strength would undergo a qualitative leap within a hundred years. They would sweep away all the other sects and become the only overlord of the ten continents.
Right now, the Demonic Dao's strength was not at its peak. Otherwise, even if they chased Li Mu to the ends of the world, they would think of a way to snatch the Heavenly Book from him instead of just bullying Yong.
Hearing the news of the Yong Kingdom's Heavenly Tomes, the three Grand Elders revealed expressions of understanding.
The Grand Elder of the Southern Sect, Taoist priest: "No wonder. For the past several thousand years, the Demonic Path has been on the verge of madness in order to obtain the Heavenly Tomes. Since the establishment of the Six Sects, the Six Sects have suffered large-scale attacks from the Demonic Path almost every hundred years. None of the Six Sects were fortunate enough to escape. If it weren't for the Six Sects' abundant resources, perhaps they would have long since met the same fate as the State of Yong."
The Heavenly Tomes had been stolen, the princess had been kidnapped, and the secrets of the imperial family had been made known to outsiders. After the matter was resolved, the Yong imperial family immediately gathered their kinsmen and launched a thorough investigation.
Very quickly, they found out that a prince of the imperial family who had reached the sixth level of cultivation did not respond to the summons.
When the experts went to his mansion, they found that he was trapped in the mansion and could not go out. It was from this prince that they found out what had happened.
A few days ago, a seventh realm Elder of the Demonic Path had infiltrated the Imperial Residence. While he was unprepared, the Elder captured him and searched his soul.
As an important figure of the royal family, he knew all of the royal family's secrets. That one page of the Heavenly Sutra as well as the secret of the princess' Seven Orifices Mystical Heart had been leaked to the demonic path.
The Fiends' speed was too fast, and the Five Ancestors had personally taken action. Although Li Mu notified Xuan Jizi at the first moment, he was still a step too late.
That one page of the Heavenly Sutra had been stolen was not the most serious matter. The most serious matter was that Princess Linglong of Yong could decipher the Heavenly Sutra. Her significance to the Demonic Path was even more important than one or two pages of the Heavenly Sutra.
Li Mu asked an elder of the Yong imperial family, "What is the content of that page of the Heavenly Sutra?"
The elder replied, "This page of the Heavenly Sutra contains the Dao of Painting, the Dao of Music, the essentials of governing a country, as well as some miscellaneous Daos."
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I understand. Now that the Demonic Path has obtained the Heavenly Sutra, they will no longer make things difficult for Yong. We will think of a way to rescue Princess Linglong. All you need to do is wait patiently."
The elder cupped his hands to Li Mu and said, "I will leave Linglong to you, Your Majesty."
Princess Linglong had a special constitution and absolutely could not fall into the hands of the Demonic Path. However, it was unknown where she had been taken. After leaving Yong, Li Mu did not return to the Divine Capital. Instead, he went directly to the Ghost Domain.
Of all the people he came into contact with, no one was more familiar with the Demon Sect than Ming Yi.
Ming Yi had already handed over his Fate Soul and boarded Li Mu's pirate ship. Faced with Li Mu's question, Ming Yi had no choice.
With a complicated tone, he said, "If she was taken away by the Fifth Ancestor, she should have gone to the Ghost Island."
Li Mu asked, "Where is the Ghost Island?"
Ming Yi replied, "The Ghost Island is located in the depths of the Southern Sea. It is one of the Sage Sect's three main altars and is personally guarded by the Third Ancestor. The Ghost Island is indistinct and unpredictable. Without a medallion, it is impossible to find the Ghost Island."
Li Mu glanced at him and asked, "Where is your medallion?"
Ming Yi shook his head and said, "When you destroyed my physical body, that medallion was also destroyed."
Li Mu sighed. It seemed that he would have to consider this matter at length.
Without the medallion, he would not be able to find the Ghost Island, nor would he be able to rescue the Princess of Yong. Even if he obtained the medallion and sneaked into the Ghost Island, there was still an old monster of the eighth level. Not only would Li Mu not be able to save the princess, but he might even lose his life.
At this moment, Ming Yi struggled internally and suddenly said, "Actually, it is not impossible to sneak into the Ghost Island without being detected by the Third Ancestor."
Li Mu immediately looked at him and said, "Speak."
Since he had already become Li Mu's subordinate, Ming Yi simply changed his stance and said, "The Third Ancestor needs to avoid a calamity. Every month, around the full moon, the Third Ancestor will sleep in a stone coffin. No matter what happens during these three days, he will not come out of seclusion."
As long as that old monster of the eighth level did not make a move, Li Mu would have no problem escaping even if he could not defeat Xuan Ming.
Li Mu looked at Ming Yi with admiration and asked, "Besides the medallion, is there any other way to get to the Ghost Island?"
Ming Yi nodded straightforwardly and said, "Although we cannot find the Ghost Island without the medallion, we can have the people of the Sage Sect bring you in."
Li Mu leaned back in his chair and said, "Continue."
Ming Yi spoke faster and faster, "In order to find suitable hosts for the ancestors and the cultivators of the Sage Sect from thousands of years ago, the Sage Sect will search for special constitutions suitable for their cultivation every year and bring them to the Ghost Island to cultivate. When their cultivation breaks through to the sixth level, their memories will be erased and replaced with the memories of the ancestors and the cultivators of the Sage Sect. Therefore, as long as we spread the news of a special constitution that the Sage Sect needs, there will naturally be emissaries from the Sage Sect who will take the initiative to come …"
Li Mu was right to accept Ming Yi as a traitor.
The most powerful of the three ancestors of the Demonic Way, the Third Ancestor, would not be able to go out for a few days every month. This was a good opportunity for Li Mu to sneak into the Ghost Island.
However, Li Mu was not completely convinced by Ming Yi's words. He asked again, "What is Avoiding Calamity?"
Ming Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know. We only know that the Third Ancestor will seal himself in the stone coffin for a few days every month. No one is allowed to disturb him."
At this time, a figure came in from outside.
The ghost servant looked at Li Mu and said, "What he said is true. He needs to avoid calamity. The Third Ancestor of the Demonic Way must have used the Demonic Way to prolong his life. Although this method can break through some of the limits of life, it also has its drawbacks. He must completely restrain his aura before and after the full moon. Otherwise, he will suffer the wrath of heaven. In my memory, there is more than one person in the history of the Demonic Way who has been obliterated by Heaven's Calamity …"
Li Mu had known for a long time that the Demonic Way had a way to prolong life.
They could prolong a cultivator's life by sixty years on the basis of their current life. The Sixth Realm had three sixty years of life and the Seventh Realm had four sixty years of life. However, he did not know that this method of prolonging life had such a limit.
Even so, this secret method was very heaven-defying.
As long as he slept for three days every month, he could live for another sixty years. No matter how he thought about it, this was a good deal. Li Mu had been thinking about this secret method for a long time.
The ghost servant also knew about this, which meant that Ming Yi did not lie to him. As long as he chose the time when the Third Ancestor was asleep, Li Mu could break into Ghost Island.
It was the beginning of the month and there was still half a month before the full moon. Li Mu needed to make some arrangements in advance.
There were many experts on Ghost Island, but the ones that Li Mu truly feared were the Third and Fifth Ancestors of the Demonic Way. When the time came, the Third Ancestor would be asleep. As long as the Ghost Servant was outside, Xuan Ming would not be able to do anything to him.
Li Mu looked at Ming Yi with a satisfied expression. He threw a bottle of pills to Ming Yi and said, "This bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills is for you."
Ming Yi took the pills and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my Lord."
His injuries had not recovered yet. This bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills could save him several months of bitter cultivation.
Li Mu asked Ming Yi again, "What other special physiques do the Demonic Way need?"
Ming Yi thought for a moment and said, "Pure Yin, Pure Yang, Five Elements Physique, Blood Evil Physique, etc., have cultivation talent, or are suitable for cultivating a special cultivation method of the Sage Sect. As long as the Sage Sect gets the news, they will definitely send people to snatch them and bring them to Ghost Island to cultivate …"
