The lush forest stretched endlessly. A figure flitted across the sky of Changzhou and soon disappeared into the horizon.
Fenglin.
The endless plains were deserted. Only wild cattle and sheep lowered their heads to nibble on the grass. A figure streaked across the sky and disappeared in an instant.

In a month, Li Mu traveled all over the Ten Continents to find the whereabouts of the last page of the Heavenly Book. But even though he already had twenty-three pages of the Heavenly Book, he still could not sense the existence of the last page.
The Ten Continents were huge. Li Mu could not search all of them. He was just hoping that the last page of the Heavenly Book was lying quietly in some corner of the Ten Continents and he could sense it …
Unfortunately, fate did not favor him this time.
In this month, the Life Talismans of dozens of demonic experts had all shattered.
Li Mu had just received the news that in Xuanzong, Tian Jizi's Soul Lamp had also been extinguished.
There were only four jade talismans left in his hand. Sealed in them were the auras of the four demonic ancestors. These jade talismans were also full of cracks. Finally, at a certain moment, three of the four jade talismans cracked and shattered at the same time.
Li Mu clenched his fist and the jade talisman fragments turned into dust. Li Mu flicked his palm. A breeze blew and the dust disappeared between heaven and earth.
There was only one jade talisman left in his hand. The aura in this jade talisman belonged to Xuanming.
Li Mu put away the last jade talisman and returned to the shore of the South China Sea. The space that had once been connected to by the Path of Ingress had become even more fragile. It was impossible for him to waste all his time on searching for the Heavenly Tomes.
In the South Sea, the six sect masters, the Buddhist Bhantes, the Yao Nation, the Ghost Realm, the Great Zhou, the Dragon Clan, and other experts from various forces had gathered.
Li Mu scanned the crowd and said, "Everyone knows that the Ten Continents are about to face the greatest catastrophe in ten thousand years. If the cultivation world continues to be like this, even if the Ten Continents unite, the possibility of resisting the Peach Blossom Beast is not high. Therefore, I have an idea that I would like to ask for your opinion."
The Yong Emperor cupped his fist to Li Mu and said, "Everyone is clear on the current situation. If Lord Li has any thoughts, feel free to speak. We will listen to you."
Li Mu pondered for a moment and said, "There are twenty-four pages of the Heavenly Book in the world, which contain countless Great Daos of cultivation. The Heavenly Book is supposed to be a secret and should not be leaked out easily. However, in the face of the calamity, I can't care too much about it. I want to make the contents of the Heavenly Book public so that the cultivators of the ten continents can comprehend it together. This will increase the strength of the cultivators and help them deal with the upcoming calamity …"
As for the rest of the Heavenly Tomes, Li Mu could make the decision. However, the Heavenly Tomes of the Five Sects were temporarily borrowed by Li Mu. The main reason he had gathered everyone this time was to seek their opinions.
This time, the experts of the Five Sects did not hesitate in the slightest when faced with the Heavenly Tomes that were regarded as top secret by their sects and almost never leaked out.
Miao Yunzi looked at Li Mu and said, "The Heavenly Tomes belong to the beings of the ten continents. They do not belong to any sect or sect. It is selfish of the various sects to occupy them. I agree with Junior Ling Jizi's proposal."
"The Spirit Array Sect agrees."
"The South Sect agrees."
"The North Sect agrees as well."
… …
In response to Li Mu's proposal, everyone quickly reached a consensus. At this moment, an expert of Yong suddenly said, "Since all the Daos of cultivation in the world originate from the same Heavenly Book, why should we divide them into Buddhist, Daoist, Daoist, and Daoist? Daoist has Daoist, Daoist has Daoist, Daoist has Daoist, and Daoist has Daoist. The Dragon Clan also has Daoist.
"Daoist?"
"This Fellow Daoist's words have some truth in them."
"All the Daos of the ten continents originate from the Heavenly Tomes. If that is the case, then all of us are of the same sect …"
"Daoist techniques are Daoist techniques, Buddhist techniques are Daoist techniques, demonic techniques and ghostly techniques are all Daoist techniques. The Dao Sect is great …"
…
Yong's Retired Emperor's suggestion immediately triggered an even more heated discussion. In the past, due to their own interests, it was impossible for all parties to unite, much less share the Heavenly Tomes and resources. However, the current situation had changed.
Under the threat of the strange beasts, all the living beings in the ten continents were facing an enormous threat of life and death. Even the forces that had been hostile to each other in the past could not have the slightest bit of animosity in the face of a common enemy.
Now that the Ten Continents had united, everyone would share honor and disgrace, advance and retreat together. They had become one entity, so it was necessary to establish a unified organization to manage and mobilize the various parties.
They were truly worthy of being Yong's experts. They had used their knowledge of governance here. If the Righteous Path Sect was established, the cohesion of the Righteous Path Alliance would reach a new peak.
Almost everyone agreed with this proposal. Before Li Mu even opened his mouth, they had already decided on this matter.
At this moment, Yong's Retired Emperor spoke again. "A group of dragons cannot be without a leader. Since we want to establish the Dao Sect, we need everyone to jointly elect a Dao Head to guide and lead us …"
Before he could finish speaking, everyone's gazes turned to one direction.
Apart from that person, no one else could shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the Dao Head.
Yong's Retired Emperor smiled. "I believe that even if this old man does not say who will assume the position of Dao Head, everyone should have a candidate in mind …"
Li Mu had originally wanted to discuss the matter of the Heavenly Tomes. He hadn't expected that he would inexplicably establish a new sect and become the leader of the Dao Sect.
However, in the face of everyone's unanimous opinion, he did not raise any objections.
Although he had no intention of taking the position of Dao Head, the unification of the various powers would indeed greatly increase their cohesion. Before the strange beasts descended, increasing cohesion was as important as increasing strength.
How to manage such a large sect was not something Li Mu had to consider. Xuan Jizi and the others would take care of it.
The next day, Li Mu opened a training ground in the Southern Sea and began to preach the Dao without interruption.
The spatial connections were becoming weaker and weaker. He had no time to waste. He needed to pass down the Dao techniques of the Heavenly Tomes in the shortest time possible.
Li Mu had already finished teaching Dao techniques, Buddhist techniques, Ghost techniques, and Yao techniques. At this moment, Li Mu's body was floating above the Southern Sea. The Dragon Clan of the four seas were gathered around him, listening to his teachings on the Dragon Clan's Heavenly Tomes.
Just yesterday, Li Mu had used the Great Sky Pilfering Array to help Ao Feng and the others extend their lifespans.
In the face of a great enemy, there was no need to be suspicious of the Dragon Clan. Li Mu's goal was not to help them extend their lifespans. After their lifespans were extended, their strength would also increase slightly. Of all the races on the continent, perhaps only the Dragon Clan could contend with the strange beasts.
This was because they were originally strange beasts from the Taoyuan.
Up until now, this was a secret that only Li Mu knew. They were almost invincible among their peers and had the strength of the fourth realm at birth. In the ten continents, there was no creature like the Dragon Clan. This was determined by their bloodline and race.
In the continuous teaching day and night, Li Mu also discovered something unexpected.
That was, in the process of teaching, his cultivation increased faster and faster. It even surpassed the cultivation of telekinesis.
Teaching seemed to be a way of cultivation.
It was no wonder that since ancient times, those experts who had founded their own sects or created their own Dao techniques had all left their names behind in the long river of history. There was still such a miraculous power hidden in the passing down of Dao techniques.
However, this kind of cultivation was like the Four Lines of Hengqu. It could not be replicated.
The prerequisites for teaching Dao were, first, to establish a sect. Second, to create a new Dao technique and pass it down. The first point was already very difficult to achieve. Since ancient times, there were only a few people who could achieve both.
Li Mu quickly realized that imparting the supernatural powers and Dao techniques from the Heavenly Tomes did not help him much.
However, if he were to teach him the Dao techniques that he found out from the Buddhist scriptures on Earth and that no one else in the ten continents knew, his cultivation speed would immediately increase by a lot.
For the world of the ten continents, this was a new Dao technique.
After thinking about it, Li Mu finally taught the Nine Syllables Mantra and the Demon-Slaying Protection Art to the powerhouses of the ten continents.
Firstly, this could allow his cultivation to increase rapidly. Secondly, it could also increase their strength.
Li Mu had never taught these powerful Dao techniques to anyone other than those close to him.
In the face of the catastrophe, the six sects selflessly offered the Heavenly Tomes. Li Mu could not be selfish and hide them. The power of these mantras was not in their power, but in their speed of release. Although the power of these mantras was only about fifty to sixty percent of Li Mu's, it could still greatly increase their combat power and reduce the gap between them and the strange beasts.
Of course, Li Mu himself also benefited a lot from it.
In just a month, his Dharmic powers had increased by leaps and bounds. In the past, his true cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the seventh realm. With his Dao techniques, he could fight with a late-stage Transcendence cultivator. Now, Li Mu's Dharmic powers had rapidly climbed to the peak of the seventh realm and vaguely touched a certain barrier.
In the ten continents where the Spirit Qi was scarce, it was impossible to reach the eighth realm through normal means. Today, Li Mu opened a new path and walked on a cultivation path that was different from everyone else.
After he adjusted his Dharmic powers to the peak, Li Mu gathered Xuan Jizi and the others and handed a jade talisman to Xuan Jizi. Then, he said, "I will be in seclusion for a few days to try to break through to the Dao Integration Stage. I will leave this place to you for now. If there is an emergency, you can crush this talisman and force me out of seclusion."
Xuan Jizi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. Leave this place to us."
After arranging everything, Li Mu entered the Flask Space. In front of him was an extremely tall mountain of Spirit Jades.
To break through to the Dao Integration Stage from the Transcendence Realm, it required the support of an extremely large amount of Spirit Qi. For this, the Dragon Tribe of the Four Seas donated all of their Spirit Jades.
Li Mu took a deep breath and slowly descended. His body sank into the mountain of Spirit Jades.
The Flask Space fell into a long period of silence.
In the ten continents, a year passed in the blink of an eye.
For the ordinary people of the various continents, this was an extremely ordinary year. Nothing major happened in the ten continents. The Daoist Sects, Buddhist Sects, Yao Nation, Ghost Realm, and all the other major forces were completely silent. There was no news. The ordinary people's lives were quiet and even a little boring.
At the shore of the South Sea.
Dozens of figures floated in the void. Looking at a spatial crack in the sky that continued to expand, their expressions became more and more serious.
When the spatial crack expanded to a certain limit, countless densely packed black shadows drilled out of the crack.
