"Hahaha!"
The middle-aged man laughed, then patted Li Mu's shoulder. "It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting junior. What's your name? This Seat admires you very much."
Li Mu embarrassedly said, "Replying to Senior, this one is Li Si."
The middle-aged man beckoned to a servant and said, "Bring Li Si to Earth Summit and choose a dwelling."
Li Mu followed the servant and left the main hall, flying towards a mountain peak in the distance.
In order to not be discovered, Li Mu sealed the majority of his cultivation within his body. As one of the main altars of the Demonic Path, Ghost Island had countless experts. He did not dare to release his Divine Sense to explore. If he was discovered by some old monster, this operation could only be declared a failure.
A moment later, Li Mu was brought to a mountain peak by the servant.
This mountain was rich in Spiritual Qi. There were many palace-like buildings on the peak, and at the very front was a large square. Many people were sparring in the square, and when they saw someone flying over, they all looked over.
"Another newcomer."
"I wonder what sort of monster it is this time."
"Although his cultivation is only at the fourth realm, he's from Earth Summit. His cultivation talent must not be bad. It looks like we'll have another competitor in the future."
"It's not just one. A few days ago, the woman that Lord Fifth Ancestor personally brought back was actually living in First Hall. I wonder what sort of ability she has to be valued so highly by Lord Fifth Ancestor …"
…
Li Mu had already learned from the servant who brought him here that the mountain peaks on the island were divided into four grades according to the abundance of Spirit Qi, Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Among them, the Heaven Peak was where the Elders' Immortal's Cave residences were located. For a newcomer to be arranged at the Earth Peak, it was already considered very generous treatment.
His gaze swept over the several figures in the square. These people were not very old, about the same age as him. However, the weakest of them was already at the peak of the fourth realm, and there were even some whose auras were no weaker than the fifth realm Elders of the Fu-lu School.
If any of these people were placed outside, they would be no weaker than the core disciples of the various large sects. In fact, they might even surpass them. No wonder the Demonic Path was able to dominate the continent for thousands of years. They had kidnapped a massive number of cultivation geniuses to ensure a steady stream of new blood.
The servant led Li Mu through the main hall and came to a Dao Palace. He said, "This is where you will be cultivating. Someone will bring you the cultivation resources you need later."
With that, the servant bowed to Li Mu and turned to leave.
Li Mu held a token in his hand. When he walked into the Dao Palace, the token flashed and the doors to the Dao Palace opened automatically. Li Mu walked in and found that the interior of the Dao Palace was an exquisite little courtyard. There was a garden, a fountain, a fake mountain, and a pond. There was everything one could think of.
Cultivating here would make one feel very happy.
In addition, the spiritual energy inside the Dao Palace was many times denser than outside. Cultivating here for a day was equivalent to cultivating outside for half a month. If one had enough spiritual jades, one's cultivation speed would be even faster.
There was no doubt that there was a large-scale Spirit Gathering Formation under the mountain. Maintaining this Spirit Gathering Formation required a huge amount of spiritual jades. In order to quickly raise the cultivation of these geniuses, the Demonic Path had spent a lot of money.
The geniuses outside thought that the Demonic Path had taken a fancy to their talent. Little did they know that the Demonic Path had taken a fancy to their bodies. The higher their talent, the faster their cultivation would break through, and the closer they would be to death.
Li Mu sat cross-legged on a prayer mat in the courtyard, calculating the next step of his plan.
He had originally wanted to take advantage of the three days the Demonic Path's Three Ancestors were avoiding tribulation to sneak into Ghost Island and find Princess Linglong of Yong and escape with her. However, his plan had gone awry. The Demonic Path's Fifth Elder had appeared later than he had expected. Today was the second day the Demonic Path's Three Ancestors were avoiding tribulation. After tomorrow, he would come out of seclusion. He would have to wait another month for his next opportunity.
When he was outside, Li Mu had inadvertently heard news of Princess Linglong.
She was in the First Earth Hall, which was also within the mountain. He had to find a way to get in touch with her.
Li Mu stayed in the courtyard for a while before someone from the Demon Sect delivered spiritual jades to him. There were several dozen pieces of spiritual jades, all of which were high-grade. He hadn't even made any contributions to the Demon Sect, yet he was able to receive resources that not even the core disciples of large sects could easily obtain. It seemed that the Demon Sect was simply raising these geniuses like pigs.
They didn't need to do anything other than cultivate. When the time was right, they would be greeted with a blade.
After accepting the spiritual jades, Li Mu went outside. There were still many people sparring in the courtyard. A youth in his early twenties walked over and asked Li Mu, "Newcomer, what is your name and where are you from?"
Li Mu revealed a good-natured smile and replied, "Li Si, from the Great Zhou, Hanyang County."
The youth also took the initiative to introduce himself, "My name is Jiang Zhuo, from the State of Liang."
After a simple introduction, the youth asked again, "You've just arrived and you've already moved into the Earth Hall. What is your constitution?"
Li Mu replied, "Pure Yang."
The youth's face revealed a look of realization. He said, "I see. This kind of constitution is rare. No wonder you can cultivate in the Ninth Hall."
Li Mu pretended to be curious and asked, "What Ninth Hall? Is there a saying?"
The youth said, "Of course there is. You just arrived and didn't know. The rarer the constitution, the higher the Dao Palace, and the more abundant the spiritual energy. Of course, if your cultivation speed is fast enough, you are also qualified to cultivate in the Dao Palaces in front …"
Li Mu was naturally aware of this. The Demon Sect chose powerful cultivators to host their memories with the same constitution. This way, after the memories were passed on, they would be able to familiarize themselves with their new body in the shortest amount of time.
He looked at the Dao Palace in front and asked, "The person living in the First Dao Palace must have the rarest constitution, or the strongest person, right?"
The youth shook his head and said, "I don't know. She just arrived here ten days ago and has never left. No one knows where she came from. We are also curious …"
As the two of them were talking, a few figures suddenly descended from the sky.
When the people in the square saw this, they all stopped fighting. After standing still, they respectfully said, "Greetings, Fifth Forefather, Elders!"
Li Mu also followed their example and bowed.
When the woman in white with a face like an iceberg walked towards the Dao Palace in front, she suddenly stopped and looked at a figure in the crowd. She said lightly, "Raise your head."
In the crowd, a young man raised his head. He looked a little nervous and said respectfully, "Greetings, Fifth Forefather."
Before the woman in white could speak, the middle-aged man that Li Mu met in the hall took the initiative to explain, "Fifth Forefather, this person was just brought in by the Fifth Elder today. He is a genius with a Pure Yang Body."
The woman in white glanced at Li Mu and did not ask any more questions. She turned and walked into the Dao Palace.
Li Mu looked nervous, but he was more nervous than he looked.
He used a secret technique from the Heavenly Book to seal his cultivation. Even his aura was changed. In theory, unless the Three Forefathers of the Demonic Way directly checked his body, no one on the Demonic Island could see through his cultivation.
However, he could not rule out the possibility that Xuan Ming had fought with him and might be able to sense something. Only when she turned her head did Li Mu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Xuan Ming and the others walked into the Dao Palace where Princess Linglong was. In less than a quarter of an hour, they came out again. She stood at the entrance of the Dao Palace and said to the middle-aged man, "I will give you three more days. After three days, if she still does not agree, you will receive your punishment."
The middle-aged man said respectfully, "Understood."
It was not until Xuan Ming left that he showed a worried expression.
At this time, Li Mu came up and asked in a low voice, "Senior, who lives in there?"
The middle-aged man looked at Li Mu and sighed, "If only everyone was as sensible as you."
Li Mu could roughly guess that this Elder of the Demonic Way was in charge of the newcomers who had just entered the sect. This included the examination of aptitude and persuasion of those who were stubborn and unwilling to submit.
Li Mu continued to ask, "The people in there, are they unwilling to submit to the Sage Sect?"
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It has been half a month. That woman's temper is really more stubborn than a stone …"
Li Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, do you want me to persuade her?"
The middle-aged man glanced at him, "You?"
Li Mu said confidently, "I don't have any other skills, but when it comes to coaxing women, I have never been convinced by anyone. As long as it is a woman, no matter if it is a pure young girl or a passionate young woman, I have a way to deal with them …"
This Pure Yang Body was indeed different from the other newcomers he had seen. He was smart and sensible. Perhaps he could really solve this problem for him.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Mu with bright eyes and said, "If you can make her submit to the Sage Sect, I will use my own resources to help you reach the Fifth Realm."
"Senior, you can rest assured that I will handle it." Li Mu smiled and walked towards Dao Palace Number One as he said, "Just wait for my good news …"
