Rumble!
Purple lightning constantly fell from the gray sky. Bolt after bolt landed on Li Mu's body. He was very confused. When the Spirit Qi of the Ten Continents was abundant, the cultivators who ascended to the ninth realm seemed to succeed naturally. There had never been any records of lightning tribulations.
Fortunately, after countless battles and refining the power of countless beasts, Li Mu's body and soul had both reached a new peak. Apart from destroying his clothes, this level of lightning could not harm him at all.
As a matter of fact, under the stimulation of the lightning, Li Mu's physical strength, which had remained stagnant for a long time, actually increased slightly.
Boom!
When the last bolt of lightning, which was ten times thicker than before, fell, Li Mu was bathed in lightning. His body finally reacted, but it only brought him a bit of pain. After the lightning passed, his skin became even fairer, and a layer of lightning flickered on his body.
Li Mu raised his head again. The eye-like whirlpool in the sky was slowly dissipating.
His cultivation had also reached a new level that he had never reached before.
Li Mu stood naked in the huge, scorched pit. He lowered his head and looked at his body. He could not help but feel a sliver of doubt.
"That's it?"
Here, the sky was always grey. Li Mu found it difficult to sense the flow of time. Apart from fighting, he was constantly cultivating. Even his thoughts had become much more sluggish.
It was only at this moment that Li Mu realized that he seemed to have entered the Dream Realm.
Not long after, he discovered three abnormally powerful auras approaching from different directions.
Among the three auras, Li Mu was familiar with two of them.
He had intruded into their territory twice before and was discovered by them. If he had not fled quickly when he saw that the situation was bad, it was very likely that he would have died at the hands of the two ninth realm beasts.
Now, their presences could no longer exert absolute pressure on him.
When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. Although the strange beasts did not have much intelligence, they still recognized this human who had once trespassed on their territory. One of the strange beasts with the body of an eagle and the head of a snake opened its mouth and spat out a red stream of light, heading straight for Li Mu.
Li Mu reached out with one hand and formed a circular talisman formation in the air, blocking the light.
This Ninth Level exotic beast that had once posed a fatal threat to him was nothing more than that in his eyes now.
At the same time, Li Mu stretched out his other hand and formed a seal. His lips moved slightly.
He worked so hard and cultivated so urgently not because he hoped to fight against these strange beasts with his Level Nine cultivation, but because after reaching Level Nine, he would be able to control the true power of the Classic of Dao De.
"Dao can be Dao, but it is not a constant Dao. Names can be named, but they are not constant names. … They are the most mysterious of mysteries, and they are the door to many wonders."
The power of heaven and earth continued to surge into Li Mu's body, but it wasn't as unbearable as before. After Li Mu recited the last mantra in his heart, heaven and earth seemed to stand still for a moment.
An enormous amount of power of heaven and earth surged into Li Mu's body. This power of heaven and earth was enough to destroy the body and soul of a Dao Integration Stage cultivator. However, the current Li Mu had already stepped into a new realm after experiencing the Lightning Tribulation.
Finally, there was no more power of heaven and earth surging in from the outside, and the power of heaven and earth in Li Mu's body also quieted down.
At this moment, the world before Li Mu's eyes changed greatly.
Many thin lines suddenly appeared in the empty space before him. Everything around him became still, including the scarlet light that the exotic beast attacked Li Mu with and the energy balls that had already formed in the mouths of the other two exotic beasts.
Li Mu didn't know what these thin lines were, but the scarlet light, the energy balls formed by the two exotic beasts, and the talisman formation in his hand were all entwined with thin lines.
And he seemed to be able to control these thin lines.
With a single thought from Li Mu, the thin lines entwined around the light and the energy balls quickly retreated. As the thin lines disappeared, the powerful scarlet light disappeared directly. The energy balls in the mouths of the other two exotic beasts also dissipated slowly before they could form.
The three exotic beasts were still in the same place, but their attacks had mysteriously disappeared. They were stunned for a moment before they launched another attack on the human.
However, this time, they could only roar silently at Li Mu. They didn't use any powerful divine abilities. This scene looked a little comical.
In Li Mu's eyes, there wasn't a single thin line around the three exotic beasts. All the thin lines in this place were gathered around him. He looked at the three exotic beasts as if their lives were in his hands.
"Dao …"
Li Mu seemed to have understood something as he softly uttered a word.
At this moment, he finally understood the true function of the Dao De Ching.
These thin lines were the purest and most fundamental power in heaven and earth. It could also be said that they were the "Dao" itself.
At this moment, he was in control of the Heavenly Dao in this area.
Li Mu spread out his divine thoughts. Everything within a radius of ten thousand miles was under his control.
At some point, the three exotic beasts stopped roaring. Instead, they humbly lowered their heads in front of Li Mu. Not only them, when Li Mu's divine thoughts swept across the area where the thin lines appeared, countless exotic beasts stood quietly in place and lowered their heads after a short moment of shock …
What Li Mu didn't know was that after he recited the complete mantra of the Tao Te Ching, tens of thousands of miles away, a magnificent floating city suddenly began to shake violently.
Countless figures flew out of the city. Their faces were full of shock as they spoke one after another.
"What's going on?"
"The Immortal Palace can actually have an earthquake?"
"Where are the Immortal Guards? Quickly go and find out the reason!"
…
While everyone was panicking, in the deepest part of the palace, a graceful and elegant woman asked the man with the crown beside her, "Your Majesty, what happened? Why did the Immortal Palace shake for no reason?"
The man with the crown looked solemn. He closed his eyes and pinched his fingers. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and shook his head. "I can't divine it, but I have a bad feeling in my heart …"
The cultivation of the man with the crown was already at the peak of the world. Any premonition he had would not be baseless. The woman asked worriedly, "Is something big going to happen in the Milky Way Immortal Realm …"
Beside the woman was a young girl holding her arm. She wasn't worried at all as she giggled and said, "Mother, don't worry. Father's cultivation is so high. No matter what happens, he will be able to handle it …"
The woman patted her head and said, "Mother, how many times have I said that the path of cultivation is endless? Although your father's cultivation is high, he is not invincible in the Endless Immortal Realm. You must not be arrogant. Otherwise, you will get into big trouble in the future …"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man with the crown snorted and said, "I may not be invincible in the Endless Immortal Realms, but in the Milky Way Immortal Realms, no one has been my opponent for many years. Eight thousand years, or ten thousand years …"
The young girl was clever. She gave the woman a look and ran over to hold the man with the crown. She said, "In my heart, father is the most powerful. In the Endless Immortal Realm, he is invincible …"
…
In the land of the strange beasts, when Li Mu tried to extend his Divine Sense into the distance again, he found that the range he could control was only ten thousand miles. He could not reach any further.
In this ten thousand mile radius, the sky was the same gray. All the areas were occupied by strange beasts. Li Mu wanted to explore further, but he suddenly felt dizzy. Then, the thin line in front of him disappeared, and the surrounding world returned to its original state. His magic power was almost exhausted.
Li Mu immediately became alert. However, when he saw the three Ninth Level strange beasts still standing humbly in the same place, he realized that they had been tamed by him.
The moment he entered the Ninth Level, the strange beasts in the Peach Garden were no longer a disaster for the Ten Continents.
Li Mu let out a long breath. There was a trace of longing in his eyes. The spatial crack from the Ten Continents to the Peach Garden was easy to enter but difficult to exit. Only strange beasts below the Seventh Level could pass through. After coming here, Li Mu had not returned even once.
Now, he could finally go home.
The spatial crack had deviated by hundreds of miles. Li Mu reached the edge of the crack in an instant.
He needed to expand the crack several times before he could enter the Ten Continents with his Ninth Level cultivation. Li Mu waved his hand, and a ray of light shot into the spatial crack. The crack began to expand rapidly. After a few breaths, it was hundreds of feet wide.
Li Mu could not wait. His figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the crack.
At the same time, in the Milky Way Immortal Palace.
The man with the crown, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. There was a puzzled look on his face. He muttered, "What's going on? That feeling disappeared again …"
