Li Mu looked at the thin space and fell silent.
Xuan Tian, Yuan Luo, You Quan, and Tian Jizi had stayed in the Peach Blossom forever in order to delay the Exotic Beasts and give Li Mu time to destroy the Path to Heaven.
Xuan Ming led dozens of Seventh Level Demon Path experts into the Peach Blossom at the last moment.
In a very short period of time, the top experts of the Ten Continents had died. The loss of four Eighth Level Demon Path experts had probably reduced the combat power of the Ten Continents by more than seventy percent.
Now, Emperor Bai was the only Eighth Level Demon Path expert left in the Ten Continents.
Ten thousand years ago, there were countless experts in the Ten Continents and they were evenly matched against the powerful Exotic Beasts. However, the Spirit Qi of the Ten Continents had been depleted over the past ten thousand years and it was no longer possible for the prosperous cultivation scene of ten thousand years ago to reappear. Once the Exotic Beasts descended again, all the living beings in the Ten Continents would experience a catastrophe.
The richness of the Spirit Qi in the Peach Blossom meant that more experts would be born there. Even the Exotic Beasts were so powerful. Just in the area just now, several Eighth Level Demon Path experts had appeared. If Xuan Tian, Tian Jizi, and the others had not stayed behind, just those few Exotic Beasts alone would have been able to destroy the Ten Continents.
At this moment, the people present still did not know what had happened, but their hearts were inexplicably covered by a layer of dark clouds.
Fu Daozi was the first to break the silence. He flew to Li Mu's side and asked, "What exactly happened? What is on the other side of the vortex? Why did the Demon Path people all go there …"
The Ten Continents were about to face the greatest catastrophe in history. As the only remaining experts of the Ten Continents, they had the right and must know the truth.
Li Mu was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Everything started from ten thousand years ago …"
After Li Mu finished speaking, the crowd fell into a long silence again.
For the first time, they knew that the Demon Path, which had done all kinds of evil and harmed the continent for ten thousand years, actually had such a heroic history. At the same time, they also knew about the Exotic Beasts War ten thousand years ago and the catastrophe they were about to face.
After Li Mu told them everything, many people's faces were filled with despair.
Those Exotic Beasts were so powerful that just the aura that they exuded was difficult to resist. How were they going to fight against such ferocious Beasts?
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Li Mu.
If there was still hope for the Ten Continents, it would definitely be.
Li Mu sorted out his emotions and looked at everyone. "Senior Tian Jizi and the demonic cultivators fought with their lives to buy us some time. Although the strange beast is powerful, we can't give up. From now on, the ten continents must unite …"
The sect masters of the six sects looked at each other. Then, Mystic Sect's sect master, Miao Yunzi, cupped his fists and said, "From now on, the Mystic Sect will follow Fellow Daoist Ling Jizi's orders."
"The Southern Sect will obey Fellow Daoist Ling Jizi's orders!"
Sect Sect Sect to give it Sect to to Sect
"Dancauldron Sect obeys!"
Sect Sect Sect Sect sect Sect to Sect …
…
The other Sect Leaders also spoke one after another, expressing their attitude. The other forces did not hesitate for long. They also cupped their fists and bowed. "We are willing to listen to your orders!"
In the face of the catastrophe, no matter what reason they had united before, at this moment, they had all put aside any selfish thoughts and were determined to resist the catastrophe that the Ten Continents were about to face.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Li Mu felt even more pressure.
He first arranged for the powerhouses to take turns to guard this place and pay attention to the movements in this space. Then, he returned to the Imperial Palace of this small southern country and pondered alone in a palace.
What was certain was that the Peach Garden and the Ten Continents were two different worlds.
If the Exotic Beasts of the Peach Garden descended, it would be a great blow to the cultivators of the Ten Continents. No matter how they united, they would not be able to defeat those Exotic Beasts.
Li Mu thought for a long time. Then, he stretched out his hand, and pages of the Heavenly Book appeared in his hand.
Before entering the Peach Garden, Xuan Ming gave the seven-page Heavenly Book of the Devil Path to Li Mu. At this moment, Li Mu had 21 pages of the Heavenly Book in his hand.
As long as he found the last three pages of the Heavenly Book, he would be able to open the door. Li Mu did not know if the door, like the path to heaven, led to the nest of the Exotic Beasts. However, the mysterious Heavenly Book was indeed one of the last hopes of the Ten Continents.
If he could attract the Spiritual Qi of the Peach Garden, the strength of the powerhouses of the Ten Continents would undergo a leap, and they might be able to resist the Exotic Beasts.
However, even if the 21 pages of the Heavenly Book were gathered, the door was about to solidify, but it was still a little short. If he wanted it to completely solidify, he had to find the last three pages of the Heavenly Book.
At this moment, Li Mu did not have any information about the three pages of the Heavenly Book.
There were 24 pages of the Heavenly Book. Most of the pages had a clear owner, such as the Taoist Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and so on. However, there were a few pages that were lost in the long river of history, such as the Heavenly Book of the Dragon Tribe. If it were not for a coincidence, they would not have been found.
Suddenly, Li Mu looked at the 21 pages of the Heavenly Book in his hand. When these Heavenly Books were neatly stacked together, he had a kind of feeling, a kind of feeling between the Heavenly Books.
It seemed that there was a page of the Heavenly Book near him.
At the same time, a breath appeared outside the door. Li Mu put away the Heavenly Book, opened the door, and saw Zhou Zhong standing outside.
Zhou Zhong stretched out his hand, and a page appeared in his palm.
He looked at Li Mu and said, "I saw that the Fifth Ancestor of the Devil Path, Xuan Ming, gave you the Heavenly Book before he left. I think the Heavenly Book should be useful to you. This page of the Heavenly Book is useless to me. Keep it."
When Li Mu saw this page of the Heavenly Book, he already understood a lot of things.
The Legalists actually had an independent page of the Heavenly Book, and it was in Zhou Zhong's hands. No wonder he could transcend using the Legalist Path, and his strength was far superior to his peers.
Li Mu put away the Heavenly Book, nodded, and said, "The Heavenly Book is indeed related to the catastrophe of the Ten Continents in the future. It might even be the only hope. Including your page, I have 22 pages of the Heavenly Book, but I don't know where the other two pages are …"
Zhou Zhong pondered for a moment, then said, "I once felt the breath of another page of the Heavenly Book in the Divine Capital …"
The Heavenly Books could sense each other. As long as the two pages were not far away from each other and were not in the Flask Space, the owners of the Heavenly Books could sense each other's existence.
After hearing about the other page of the Heavenly Book, Li Mu immediately returned to the Divine Capital with the Empress.
He took out the page of the Heavenly Book and did not feel the existence of the other Heavenly Books.
If the page of the Heavenly Book was still in the Divine Capital, it must have been stored in the Flask Space or the Flask Space. Currently, only the Empress and he were at the seventh realm in the Divine Capital, so the latter was unlikely.
Li Mu thought for a moment and took out all the Heavenly Books. The senses of the 22 pages were far greater than that of the one page. Even if the page of the Heavenly Book was in the Flask Space, it could not cut off all the connections between the Heavenly Books.
As expected, when all 22 pages of the Heavenly Book appeared in Li Mu's hands, Li Mu left and sensed the weak breath of the Heavenly Book from a certain direction.
His body instantly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in a familiar building.
Li Mu had been here countless times. It was the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the palace.
Inside the temple, Zhang Chun and Prince Shou were leisurely sunbathing. When they saw Li Mu appear, both of them were stunned. Then, Zhang Chun climbed up from the chair and said in surprise, "Lord Li, you're back. Come and sit …"
Li Mu looked at Zhang Chun and Prince Shou. In his eyes, the two of them were completely different from before.
On the surface, Zhang Chun's cultivation was at the Fifth Realm, but his true cultivation was already at the Dongxuan Realm.
As for King Shou, the cultivation he revealed on the surface was similarly at the Creation Realm. But at this moment, Li Mu was very clearly aware that even if Zhou Zhong and Fu Daozi were to fight him, they would only have a 50% chance of victory.
The connection between Li Mu and the page of the Heavenly Book came from Prince Shou.
Li Mu did not sit down. He looked at Prince Shou and said, "Your Highness Prince Shou is really good at hiding things. I wonder how many people have been fooled by you."
Prince Shou was stunned for a moment, and then he asked in confusion, "What are you talking about, Lord Li? I don't understand at all …"
Li Mu waved his hand, and an image appeared in the void. It was the image of the barge appearing from the whirlpool at the shore of the South Sea.
Crack!
The reclining chair under Prince Shou shattered. Then, his expression changed drastically as he said in shock, "It's over, it's over. Aren't these things all dead? Why did they appear again?!"
It seemed like Prince Shou had found out some secrets from the Heavenly Book. Li Mu went straight to the point and said, "The strange beasts are about to descend. The ten continents are facing another great calamity in 10,000 years. To deal with this calamity, the Heavenly Book is extremely important. I hope Your Highness Prince Shou can give it to me."
Prince Shou got up from the ground. After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand, and a page appeared in his palm.
Li Mu took the page, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
Prince Shou's cultivation did not seem to have advanced recently. If he had helped the Xiao clan back then, they would have regained their power. However, he had been helping Li Mu indirectly. This was something that Li Mu still could not figure out.
He looked at Prince Shou and could not help but ask, "Why?"
Prince Shou knew what he wanted to ask. He sighed and said, "The answer is in the Heavenly Book."
Li Mu's divine consciousness scanned the page in his hand. After being stunned for a moment, he understood everything.
Zhou Zhong's Heavenly Book recorded the path of legalism. Prince Shou's Heavenly Book recorded the path of righteousness.
To cultivate the path of righteousness, one must always uphold a kind of righteousness in one's heart. One must abandon one's selfish desires and always adhere to one's path of righteousness.
His actions could not go against the righteousness in his heart. Otherwise, his cultivation would stagnate or even regress. The path of righteousness had its unique advantages, but it also had its unchangeable shortcomings.
It was extremely difficult to cultivate this path. Even Li Mu himself could not guarantee that he would never have any selfish desires.
His doubts about Prince Shou were finally resolved.
After telling the two about the strange beasts, Li Mu left the Imperial Clan Temple. Prince Shou looked up at the sky and said worriedly, "That kind of thing, no one in the ten continents can fight against it. What should we do now …"
Zhang Chun looked at him and said, "You actually hid your cultivation level. How sinister …"
Prince Shou glanced at him and said, "You're not any better than me. Dongxuan just had to pretend to be a Creation Realm cultivator. What a sinister person …"
Li Mu could no longer hear the quarrel between Zhang Chun and Prince Shou. He stood in the Changle Palace, and the 23 pages of the Heavenly Book were stacked together and floating in his palm.
There were 24 pages of the Heavenly Book, and only the last page was left.
An almost solid door appeared in front of him.
Behind the door was a blur. Li Mu reached out his hand, but he could only pass through the door. Even with only one page missing, the door still could not be opened …
