Chapter 557: Found It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio, Atlas Studios Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio, Atlas Studios
Perhaps this Guo Huan was a patriarch of the Xuantian Sect who had come through the pa.s.sageway back then.
Li Mu guessed!
With this thought, this idea crazily surged into his mind.
There were too many coincidences.
One or two coincidences, Li Mu wouldn’t think so.
“Guo Huan!”
Li Mu began to frantically search for information about Guo Huan.
No!
comment
After that, Li Mu began to look through the other records.
He put aside the records of cultivation methods and other records, especially some of the personal notes of the ancestors of the Ascension Sect.
This went on for another three days.
Finally, Li Mu flipped through another piece of news that excited him.
“Guo Huan killed several masters of the Yin Yang Sect in a row and became an elder of our sect. Many years later, his cultivation improved again. He borrowed our sect’s treasure, the Heaven Burying Coffin, and then disappeared. If any loyal and filial disciples of our sect find the Heaven Burying Coffin,
they can enter the Forbidden Grounds and wors.h.i.+p any Grand Elder as their master…”
Hiss~
Li Mu put down the animal skin scroll in his hand and took a deep breath.
Guo Huan was missing.
He didn’t die in the Ascension Sect, but disappeared. Along with him was an item called the Heaven Burying Coffin.
Li Mu carefully read some descriptions of the Burial Coffin.
What a surprise!
“This Heaven Burying Coffin is the same as the bronze coffin in the Xuantian Sect’s secret ground!”
If these two were really related, then Guo Huan’s relations.h.i.+p with the Xuantian Sect’s ancestor would be even more complicated.
However, Li Mu was almost certain that Guo Huan was the person he was looking for.
It was best to find traces of Guo Huan.
If they could find traces of Guo Huan, they would be one step closer to finding the pa.s.sage.
Where should he start looking for Guo Huan?
Li Mu decided to search in the Yuhua Sect now, such as the Forbidden Grounds.
Guo Huan had been in the Yuhua Sect for many years. There might be something left behind in the place where he lived and cultivated.
“If Guo Huan can go back, I can definitely go back too!”
At least at this moment, Li Mu had hope of returning.
Li Mu’s divine consciousness landed on the many cave abodes in the forbidden area.
In the valley, in Li Mu’s two sets of Spirit Gathering Formations, the heavily injured man’s breathing gradually stabilized under the nourishment of the prenatal qi.
A few days later, the man slowly opened his eyes.
“This is… Hiss!”
‘What rich prenatal qi. There seemed to be a trace of Dao runes left.
“The heavens have treated me well! Haha! They want to kill me and reduce one compet.i.tor. Tang Feng, your Tang family has miscalculated!”
In the Spirit Gathering Formation, the man took a deep breath and sucked in the prenatal qi in the Spirit Gathering Formation in one breath. Then, he closed his eyes and carefully sensed the traces of Dao techniques left behind by Li Mu.
While Li Mu was still reading the information in the Sutra Pavilion, the man used the Dao runes and prenatal qi left behind by Li Mu to reconstruct his meridians.
Li Mu’s Spirit Gathering Formation was for himself. Even if the ancestor of the Ascension Sect used such a formation, he would laugh in his sleep.
Using such a Spirit Gathering Formation on a disciple would naturally be filled with prenatal qi at all times. At this time, it was not that one wanted to absorb prenatal qi, but that prenatal qi was trying to pour into one’s body.
In just a few days, the man’s body began to change.
If it wasn’t for the man’s talent and cultivation, he would have exploded from the prenatal qi.
None of this had anything to do with Li Mu.
At this moment, Li Mu cracked a cave abode’s restriction and went in to scan it. It wasn’t Guo Huan’s cave abode.
He turned around and found that there were countless cave abodes.
At this moment, despair rose in Li Mu’s heart.
He felt like he had returned to the Xuantian Sect.
He had plenty of time in the Xuantian Sect, but how could he have time here?
If he dared to go back before the Swan Clan or before the Phoenix Clan made a move,
Time was very tight.
The sooner they returned, the sooner Liu An, Wei Yang, and the Xuantian Sect would be able to protect their lives.
‘With so many cave abodes, it would take years and months to crack them one by one.
Moreover, the Ascension Sect was older than the Xuantian Sect, and there were still living masters in the Forbidden Grounds. They could not crack it without restraint, nor could they open all the caves in a short period of time.
In the records, there was no news of Guo Huan pinching the cave in the forbidden area.
‘There was only one way now.
Li Mu’s eyes flickered, and his primordial spirit connected heaven and earth, as if he was looking for something.
Two days later, Li Mu opened his eyes and appeared in front of a cave abode.
“Tl take a gamble. If there’s no one inside, I’ll win.”
‘Whoosh~
Li Mu tore open the s.p.a.ce and teleported into the cave abode.
“This s.p.a.ce is really stable!”
After entering the cave abode, Li Mu took a deep breath and almost got stuck in the spatial crack.
Other than the stability of this world, Li Mu had just comprehended the spatial Dao technique of this world.
It was already not bad that he could teleport more than a hundred steps by tearing open s.p.a.ce.
After searching around the cave, Li Mu retreated. He tore open the s.p.a.ce in front of another cave abode and teleported in.
In these few days, Li Mu had investigated half of the cave abodes in the forbidden area of the Yuhua Sect.
‘Whoosh~
After entering another cave abode, Li Mu was stunned.
A figure was sitting cross-legged on a high platform in the cave.
There were also people sitting cross-legged in the other caves. The ones in the other caves were corpses, but this one was alive.
c.r.a.p!
He had come to the wrong cave. His luck was too bad!
It was over!
He had been discovered.
He carefully took a look at the aura traces in front of the cave abode. After confirming that this was a cave abode that no one had entered for a long time, he entered.
He didn’t expect that there were living people inside.
Needless to say, this person must be an expert in the Ascension Sect.
‘Whoosh~
Li Mu hurriedly tore open a spatial crack and escaped.
After leaving, Li Mu was stunned.
“What am I afraid of? This person’s cultivation is only at the seventh level of the emperor-level. He’s far inferior to me.”
Forget it!
It was good that he didn’t notice.
Li Mu then appeared in another cave abode.
In the cave that Li Mu had just appeared in, the old man sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes and stared at the place where Li Mu had disappeared.
“Is it the Ancestor? You’re still alive… s.p.a.ce Dao technique… This… Thank you for the Ancestor’s reminder. I’ve comprehended it!”
After staying in the neighboring cave for a while and making sure that no one was chasing after him, Li Mu went out.
“As expected, they didn’t notice me!”
After that, Li Mu moved even more carefully.
Half a day later, Li Mu appeared in a cave without a corpse.
Li Mu was very familiar with all the traces in the cave.
The runes carved on the walls and the traces of life left in the cave.
All the smells were incompatible with this world, but Li Mu felt very familiar.
“Is it here?”
Li Mu’s body floated in the air as his divine consciousness carefully scanned his surroundings.
Demon Territory.
A few black clouds surrounded a beast skin scroll.
Looking closely, this black animal skin was actually a white tiger skin.
This was a White Tiger skin that had already been demonized.
“The location is here, not far from where the Blood Demon disappeared. When the moon is full, the pa.s.sage will appear. No wonder we can’t find the location. Not only is the location off, but the time is also wrong.”
“When the pa.s.sage appeared, the fog rose, the vortex rose, the fog dispersed, and the pa.s.sage disappeared!”
“Today is the full moon…” One of the black clouds stared at the red disc in the sky and immediately shouted, “Let’s go!”
‘Whoosh~
Several figures rolled up the animal skin scroll and disappeared.
