Seeing this scene, Li Mu's eyes suddenly narrowed.
This was a lifespan extension method!
The appearance of these old men was very similar to the Tian Jizi that Li Mu had seen before. This was a sign that their lifespan was nearing its end and they were about to die. But through this formation, they seemed to have regained some of their lost lifespan. This was the lifespan extension method that Li Mu had been longing for for a long time.
The lifespan extension method of the Demonic Path was hidden in this page of the Heavenly Book.
Li Mu carefully observed this formation, and gradually more information poured into his mind.
This formation was called the "Sky Stealing Formation", which meant to steal the lost lifespan from the Heavenly Dao. The formation was extremely complicated, and the resources consumed each time were immeasurable. But the function of the formation was also obvious. It could extend the lifespan of a cultivator who was nearing the end of his lifespan by another sixty years. Most cultivators would be willing to pay any price for this.
In addition, Li Mu also saw the memory inheritance method that the Demonic Path experts had been using.
Obviously, unlike the lifespan extension method, the memory inheritance method had been widely spread on the continent. Many cultivators outside the Demonic Path, such as the White Emperor and ghost servants, were using this method to continue their inheritance.
However, the White Emperor failed. The demon corpse had its own intelligence and was tricked by Li Mu into giving up the White Emperor's memory. Now, it was unknown where it was hiding to cultivate.
There were not many combat abilities in this page of the Heavenly Book, but these unorthodox methods, such as dual cultivation, lifespan extension, memory inheritance, and so on, were often more useful than combat abilities.
Li Mu exhaled lightly, closed his eyes, and continued to comprehend.
Ghost Island, Earth Peak.
Several Demonic Path geniuses were sparring in the square.
* Rumble … *
Somewhere in the Dao Palace, a stone door suddenly opened, and a bloody hand stretched out from behind the stone door. A young man covered in blood slowly crawled out, but he only crawled out half of his body before he was dragged back by the people behind the door.
In the square, someone's throat moved, and he could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"So miserable."
"You can't judge a book by its cover. That woman looks gentle and quiet, but I didn't expect her to be so perverse and violent."
"That Pure Yang Body, I'm afraid it bodes ill."
"It's none of our business, continue, continue …"
…
Days passed by just like that. The people of the Earth Peak were already used to some strange occurrences.
That woman was obviously of great use to the Sage Sect. Therefore, even if she brought that Pure Yang Body genius in for torture every day, the Elders would turn a blind eye to it.
Within Li Mu's palace, he lay weakly on his bed and said to the Ninth Elder, "Ninth Elder, I really can't hold on any longer …"
The Ninth Elder handed him a bottle of healing elixirs and said, "Hold on a little longer. After this period of time, your future will be bright. The Sage Sect will remember your contribution. When the time comes, you will receive a lot of benefits …"
Li Mu asked expectantly, "What benefits? I've suffered so much for Glory Sect and bled so much. Can Glory Sect help me enter the Sixth Level …?"
The Ninth Elder's eyes flashed. After getting along with him for nearly a month, he admired this junior very much.
He was clever, talented, and could endure hardship. There weren't many people like him in the Sage Sect. The Ninth Elder even thought of taking him as a disciple.
After a moment of silence, he said, "After entering the Fifth Level, your cultivation must slow down. It's best if you don't break through within ten years."
Li Mu was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
The Ninth Elder shook his head and said, "There's no why. Just remember my words. I won't harm you."
With that, he turned and left.
Li Mu looked at his departing figure with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
The Demonic Dao geniuses outside didn't know that the Demon Sect gave them unlimited cultivation resources to raise them like pigs. The fattest pig that grew the fastest would be the first to be slaughtered. Similarly, the person who cultivated the fastest wouldn't be far from death.
The Ninth Elder's warning was completely out of Li Mu's expectations.
At this time, the Ninth Elder walked out of Li Mu's Cultivation Palace and saw a figure standing on the square with a Jade Slip in his hand. He immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Greetings, Third Forefather."
Xuan Ming looked back at him and said indifferently, "You've said too much."
"I'm guilty." The Ninth Elder knelt on one knee and said with a complicated expression, "But he has done too much for the Sage Sect. I can't bear to see him end up like that …"
"Just this once."
Xuan Ming said lightly and flew to the tower. The Ninth Elder breathed a sigh of relief. When he came to his senses, he found that his back was wet with cold sweat.
On the tower in the center of the Ghost Island, Xuan Ming handed the Jade Slip to the Third Forefather. After a moment, the Third Forefather nodded and said, "Although most of them were comprehended by the predecessors, it also means that she didn't play any tricks. The Heart of Seven Orifices is hard to find in ten thousand years. Now there are two. Is this a sign …"
After a while, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I'm not Tianjizi. I can't see the future."
Xuan Ming said, "Wait until we get Xuanzong's Heavenly Book and let her interpret it."
"If Tianjizi doesn't die, Xuanzong can't move." The Third Forefather closed his eyes and said, "It's about time. I'm going to start avoiding the tribulation. I'll leave this to you …"
Just after noon, Li Mu stood in the courtyard and saw endless black fog gushing out of the tower in the center of the Ghost Island, completely enveloping the tower.
Having finished reading that page of the Heavenly Book, Li Mu knew very well that cultivators who obtained lifespan extension through the Great Sky Stealing Array would face a Heavenly Tribulation every month. They had to conceal their aura and deceive everyone to survive the Heavenly Tribulation.
This tower was used to conceal one's aura and hide from the heavenly secrets.
Seeing this, Li Mu walked out of the palace. In the square, several geniuses of the Demonic Path saw him and couldn't help but mock him.
"Yo, you still have the face to come out?"
"Why is such a person still alive?"
"If I were you, I'd rather die …"
…
In the past month, they had seen Li Mu being tortured every day. At first, they sympathized with him, but later, they despised him. The existence of such a person was an insult to geniuses like them, and also an insult to men.
In the face of everyone's mockery, the Ninth Elder's face darkened. He said, "Shut up, all of you."
Before he could finish his sentence, a figure suddenly flew out from the Dao Palace at the very front. It was Princess Linglong, the long whip in her hand lashed out at the three people who had mocked her just now. She said coldly, "How dare you scold my people …"
The three of them were at the fifth level of cultivation, similar to Princess Linglong. They easily dodged her whip.
Princess Linglong looked at the Ninth Elder and frowned. "Let them stand there and don't move."
The Ninth Elder hesitated. "This …"
Princess Linglong snorted. "I'll return the Heavenly Book to you. I won't read it!"
The Glory Sect had spent a lot of effort, and Li Si had shed a lot of blood and suffered a lot to convince this lady. If she went back on her words, no one present would be able to escape punishment.
The Ninth Elder's face changed. He pointed at the three people and said, "You guys, come here and don't move!"
The Ninth Elder said. Although the three of them looked sullen, they still stood there obediently.
Princess Linglong waved the whip in her hand for a while, and it did not take long for them to become as pitiful as Li Mu.
Princess Linglong seemed to be tired. She put away her whip and pulled Li Mu's collar. "Come with me!"
Seeing Li Mu being dragged into the Holy Zhi Palace, the Ninth Elder had a puzzled look on his face. He muttered, "Have they developed feelings for each other?"
He just couldn't figure out what was going on with the youngsters no matter how hard he tried. He tossed three medicinal pills to the three people who had looks of grief and indignation on their faces and said indifferently, "Idiots, what do you mean by that expression? I'm saving you. If you anger her, the Third Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor will blame you. None of you will be able to escape …"
The three people trembled. At this moment, not only did they raise their guard against the lady, but they also placed Li Si in the list of people not to be trifled with.
At this moment, in the Taoist Palace, Li Mu held Princess Linglong's hand and transmitted his voice to her. "You were too impulsive just now."
Princess Linglong was still angry. "I just didn't want them to scold you like that …"
Li Mu didn't expect that in his lifetime, he would have a fan who would blindly defend him. He could only comfort her. "It's all an act anyway. We'll be leaving soon. I'm afraid Yong is no longer suitable for you. When the time comes, you can come with me to Shendu."
"Okay, okay. I can even see Her Majesty in Shendu …" Princess Linglong said happily. Then, she realized something and her face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Li Mu asked, puzzled.
Princess Linglong raised her head and looked at him worriedly. "It's over, it's over. Big Brother Li, I've been too harsh on you these days. If Her Majesty knows, she won't be angry, right?"
