On the street corner of the Divine Capital, the slovenly Taoist priest stared at Li Mu as if he had seen a ghost.
The first time he met Li Mu, he was just a mortal who had lost his seven souls. At that time, he was already at the peak of the sixth realm and was seeking an opportunity to transcend. He kindly reminded him.
The second time they met, Li Mu had already stepped onto the path of cultivation.
After that, every time he met Li Mu, his cultivation would become stronger. Until this time, even he could not see through Li Mu's cultivation.
There were generally two reasons for such a situation.
First, Li Mu had a magic treasure that could hide his aura and cultivation. Second, Li Mu's cultivation had already surpassed his. He subconsciously thought that it was the former. However, the feeling that Li Mu gave him was not the former.
At this moment, when he faced Li Mu, he even felt like he was facing the Empress of the Great Zhou.
The slovenly Taoist priest stared at Li Mu and said in shock, "You, you, you … you have already transcended!"
Li Mu did not know how to answer this question. The main reason was that reality was too cruel for the slovenly Taoist priest. If it was Li Mu, a mortal that he would not even look at a few years ago, had already surpassed him in cultivation. He would feel somewhat disappointed.
Li Mu could say, "It's just luck."
"So the person who broke through in the imperial palace was you …" The slovenly Taoist priest had a complicated expression on his face. After a long silence, he slowly said, "You don't need to comfort me. I have lived for more than two decades. I have lived enough. I can't wait to be free …"
Li Mu looked at him and gently shook his head. He said, "I obtained a life-extending technique from the Demon Sect. It can extend a person's life for another sixty years …"
Before he could finish, the Taoist priest looked at him in shock and asked, "There's such a heaven-defying Dao technique?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Since we are fated to meet again today, I originally wanted to repay Senior's kindness in the past, but I didn't expect that Senior had already seen through life and death and wanted to be free as soon as possible. Since that is the case, then forget it."
The slovenly Taoist priest hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't, I'm just saying. Who doesn't want to live a few more years? Don't forget, I saved your life …"
Li Mu did not forget about this. Even though he had used a Heavenly Fortune Talisman to settle the debt between them, the debt of saving his life was immeasurable.
The Grand Elders of the various sects had already extended their lives once. Next up would be people like the slovenly Taoist priest, who were nearing the end of their lives but were still stuck at the peak of Dongxuan, unable to reach the seventh realm.
Compared to the Grand Elders of the seventh realm, the Grand Elders were only at the sixth realm, so they used less energy to open the formation. It didn't matter if the slovenly Taoist priest was there or not.
Li Mu chuckled. He looked at the slovenly Taoist priest and said, "Go to Mount Baiyun and wait for me there."
Watching Li Mu leave, the slovenly Taoist priest stroked his snow-white beard. Several years ago, when he was comprehending the Great Dao on the streets of Yangqiu county, he had never imagined that his impulsive reminder would be rewarded so richly today.
In the past, he had helped Li Mu. Today, Li Mu had helped him. The cycle of karma was wondrous.
… …
Half a month later, Li Mu temporarily bid farewell to the Empress. He brought Liu Hanyan and Li Qing back to Mount Baiyun.
At this time, the slovenly Taoist priest had already become a guest elder of the Fu-lu School. According to Xuan Jizi, he had asked for it. The slovenly Taoist priest's strength was only below the seventh realm of the sect. Xuan Jizi did not refuse such a person who was willing to join the Fu-lu School, and because of his relationship with Li Mu.
Within the Talisman Puppet Sect, Violet Cloud Peak's Yu Quan Zi only had ten years of lifespan left. Li Mu asked Xuan Jizi to inform the other four sects, asking them to choose two First Seats with the shortest lifespan. Once again, they set up a grand formation to help them extend their lifespan by sixty years.
In this way, the Grand Elders of the five Daoist sects would not be affected by their lifespans for the next few decades.
On the main peak of Mount Baiyun, Xuan Jizi looked at Li Mu and stroked the short beard on his chin. He said, "Since Junior Brother has successfully transcended, it is time for Senior Brother to give up the position of Head Teacher."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother, you should sit on the position of Head Teacher for now. I am used to being free and undisciplined. I am temporarily unable to bear the heavy responsibility of being Head Teacher."
Although he shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the sect and had been in charge of all matters of the Fu-lu School, in reality, he was no different from the Head Teacher.
However, on the surface, the Fu-lu School still needed Xuan Jizi to act as the face. After all, Xuan Jizi's image was that of an immortal Daoist senior. He was not like Li Mu, who had no other good points other than his good looks.
Although Xuan Jizi was helpless, he did not raise any objections.
On the surface, he was still the Head Teacher of the Fu-lu School, but in reality, Li Mu was the one in charge.
As a disciple of the Fu-lu School, he could only obey Li Mu's arrangements.
After arranging the matters of Mount Baiyun, Li Mu went to the Yao Nation.
A month before he came out of seclusion, Phantom Princess had already come out. Now, she was a Seven-Tailed Fox and was the true Queen of the Demons.
The Four Great Tribes of the Yao Nation had already completed the incorporation of the Demon Clans. Since the White Emperor, the Yao Nation, which had been in chaos for three thousand years, was once again unified.
For some reason, both Phantom Princess and the Empress wanted to conquer Li Mu in terms of strength.
After half a year, this was the first time he met Phantom Princess. The two of them did not linger and reminisce about old times. Instead, they engaged in a battle under Phantom Princess's request.
Although Li Mu was helpless, he could only agree.
There was no doubt about the result.
They both advanced to the seventh level. Phantom Princess only refined one Spirit of Telekinesis, while Li Mu refined two. The difference between her and Li Mu in terms of spiritual power was like the difference between Li Mu and the Empress.
However, Li Mu's attitude towards Phantom Princess was different from the Empress.
In terms of strength, Li Mu had never conquered the Empress. All along, he had been the one being conquered. Therefore, he was very eager to conquer the Empress once.
Whether it was strength, intelligence, or other aspects, he had already conquered Phantom Princess countless times. He did not have any desire to win against her.
In order to take care of her emotions, Li Mu tied with her.
Phantom Princess said with some dissatisfaction, "I thought I could finally win against you this time. Why did you advance so quickly …"
Li Mu held her hand and asked, "If I don't increase my cultivation, how can I protect you in the future?"
Phantom Princess only acted coquettishly in front of Li Mu. Then, she asked expectantly, "Tell me, between me and Zhou Yi, who is stronger?"
She did not have a clear understanding of how strong the Empress was. That was why she asked such a question.
Li Mu revealed an awkward but polite smile and said, "She is she, you are you. You both have your strengths. Don't compare everything …"
