Qiu Baihui was his secret weapon.
She didn’t have a soul flicker in the sacred ground and no mark was left on her.
Now that the cultivation channel of the Golden Lotus was gradually lessening, the longevity of the people in the sacred ground couldn’t be guaranteed. This led to further speculation about the Virtual Realm’s situation.
Qiu Baihui went to avenge Clan Xia at such a critical moment and disturbed the Virtual Realm of Nanzhou. This brought on a lot of trouble!
d.a.m.n Qiu Baihui.
“Grand Ancestor, this wasn’t what we had planned.”
The elder with long brows sighed. “There is a change of plans.”
Whether Qiu Baihui was dead or not, the long-browed elder wouldn’t use her anymore.
Not only did she not help with anything, but she also held them back.
The Virtual Realm of Nanzhou was preparing the plan of resistance.
It was hard to tell what the plan of cutting the cultivation channel would be like.
“Grand Ancestor, I will go to Huanhai Sacred Ground. If the people there don’t stop us, we can bypa.s.s Huanhai Sacred Ground and intercept Nanzhou’s cultivation channel first.”
“It’s best if you can convince Huanhai Sacred Ground to join us, but if you can’t, then just come back. Be very careful this time. We can’t afford to lose another expert,” warned the old man.
This was what he had initially planned. He wanted Qiu Baihui to intercept the cultivation channel of Nanzhou, but instead, Qiu Baihui had insisted on carrying out her revenge first.
What a willful woman! She only made things worse.
The long-eyebrowed elder used a tactic to take some golden light from the golden lotus and inserted it into an identification jade. “Yes, Grand Ancestor!”
“Remember, always be careful not to do anything by yourself. If Huanhai Sacred Ground can help, that would be best. If they can’t, you just go back.” The long-eyebrowed elder said again.
If the outsiders wanted to cut the cultivation channel of Nanzhou, they might end up getting themselves injured. The cultivation channel could be damaged.
If not, they wouldn’t have made such a big plan back then.
Honghai Sacred Ground had many experts in Nanzhou who could be used back then.
But the plan changed again and again, catching them off guard.
Now, Taiyue Sacred Ground had another Virtual Realm expert, which disrupted the process of conquering Taiyue Sacred Ground.
…
On the edge of a large river, Gongsun Qiuyue took a pill to recover from her injuries.
“Senior, this is the key to the treasure house in Taiyue Sacred Ground, please take it.”
“It belongs to Taiyue Sacred Ground, so it belongs to you. I would never take someone else’s treasure.”
“Senior, we can’t keep it. It’s hard to tell when we will die, so keeping it would only bring us harm. Senior, we would be disturbed if you don’t take it,” Gongsun Qiuyue knelt down to pay respect.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yang followed suit and knelt down.
“Well then, I will hold on to it for the two of you two first.” Li Mu took the key.
He sensed it and the map within the key appeared in his mind.
“We are close to out destination. It’s only 500 miles away. Let’s just go and take a look at the place.”
“Sir, that place is definitely being watched by the Taiyue Sacred Ground, will we be caught if we go there at this time,” Chu Qing said.
“No, the treasury is only known to the Sect Master of Taiyue Sacred Ground. My father intended to pa.s.s it on to his successor, but he didn’t expect the successor to rebel. We are the only ones who know this secret,” said Gongsun Yang.
“So, this is a treasure trove that no one knows about?” Zhou Hua stretched her neck.
“Let’s go and take a look!”
A few days later, they arrived in front of a lake.
Li Mu jumped into the lake while carrying Gongsun Yang, with the others following behind.
Following the secret path in the underground river, they eventually reached a cave.
Li Mu walked to the door and used the key.
The illusion formation disappeared, revealing the cave door, which they opened slowly.
Tingting scanned the surroundings. “The secret treasure house is really well-hidden.”
No one could tell that there was an underground river beneath the small lake in the wild.
And the first section of the underground area was the door to the treasure house. There was even an illusion formation at the door.
If it wasn’t for Gongsun Qiuyue and Gongsun Yang, they would never have known about this place.
Upon entering the cave, Li Mu disarmed a trap and walked to the cave library, while Gongsun Qiuyue walked to the cave where the manuals were stored.
“I finally see the oldest historical records in this world.” Li Mu unfolded his field and quickly checked the information about the devil invasion of Nanzhou. Li Mu took a few looks before storing all the history records into the system s.p.a.ce.
“Do you need to bring anything else?” Li Mu asked as he walked out of the cave.
It was half a year later when Li Mu took them back to Muguang Mountain.
…
In the pit of prenatal qi.
Li Mu opened another cavern residence and put all the treasures from the treasure house of Taiyue Sacred Ground in it.
He made another key and gave it to Gongsun Qiuyue.
“Elder, as I said, everything here is yours.”
Li Mu did not say anything and handed the key to the siblings.
The siblings were surprised again and again in the next few days.
Around the pit of prenatal qi, there appeared densely placed cavern residences, with countless manuals and treasures in them. Among these things were some objects that they had never seen before. It was bizarre and strange.
Meanwhile, Li Mu made it a point to continue checking-in, and he received more and more items.
“Grandpa, I want to cultivate here,” Tingting said.
They had been travelling together for several years and Tingting was used to being with Chu Qing and Zhou Hua. “Then you can guide them to cultivate!”
Back inside the pit of prenatal qi.
Li Mu took out the historical records of Taiyue Sacred Ground and began to read carefully.
It recorded the secrets of each Sacred Ground. Some of the information within was totally unknown to Li Mu.
“So, Nanzhou used to be so rich!”
The more he read the records, the more Li Mu felt sorry for Nanzhou.
According to history, Nanzhou was like a s.h.i.+ning star that exceeded all the other continents in every aspect.
Unfortunately, a devil invaded and killed everyone in Nanzhou. The cultivation channel was cut off and the prenatal qi was used to seal the body of the devil.
After reading this, Li Mu realized that he had found another devil body storage site.
“Surprisingly, it is under Luoshen River. Why didn’t I figure it out earlier?”
He had checked-in at Luoshen River several times, but over time, he had forgotten about the place as he had received lesser rewards each time.
But this time, he received many rewards.
It was just a river. Why was it so important? There were plenty of rivers in Nanzhou.
“Stupid me, why didn’t I think about it!”
Li Mu dropped the history records and left after taking a deep breath.
Li Mu appeared again around Luoshen River moments later.
“It is said that there is a body at the bottom of Luoshen River. It is such a long river. Not easy to find the place. Check-in.”
“Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Check-in System. Sixty years of merit acquired.”
“What? Interesting!”
For others, finding the devil’s body was a difficult task.
For him, it was simple. He just needed to check-in and judged the direction according to the rewards. Then he could take his time searching for it. slowly.
Immediately, Li Mu jumped down the Luoshen River and searched.
After searching downstream for 50 miles, a day had pa.s.sed. Li Mu checked-in again.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully activating the Check-in System in Luoshen River, acquired Qinglian Sword Chant.”
“Good!” Li Mu shouted out loud.
Not only was he happy with the reward, but also because the reward told him that he was close to the devil’s body.
…
On Muguang Mountain, two experts of the Virtual Realm appeared outside the pit of prenatal qi.
“According to the records, there is a pit of prenatal qi of Nanzhou right here. If we can intercept the prenatal qi here, we can cut the cultivation channel of Nanzhou.”
“Now that I have found the location. Maybe I can ask for help.”
“d.a.m.n Huanhai Sacred Ground, why aren’t they willing to help? Otherwise, this mission would have been completed long ago, and we can now proceed to the next step of the plan.”
