Chapter 445: East of the Fantasy Sea

Time flies, and twenty years have passed in a hurry.

After returning from the Cangyuan Secret Realm, Li Mu plunged into the Painting World Treasure House and began a long period of seclusion.

During the days of seclusion, Li Mu did his best to refine Dao soldiers and fulfilled his promise to the eight major families to refine Dao soldiers. In his spare time, Li Mu would still inspect the sacred mountains of the Qixuan Sect and plant seven kinds of fifth-level spiritual plants on the seven main peaks.

Under the care of the seven incarnations, these spiritual plants thrived, passed the fragile juvenile period, began to enter the growth period, and gradually moved towards maturity.

One day, Li Mu came out of the Painting World Treasure House and appeared on the top of the Golden Sword Peak, next to the field of thousands of spirits.

Wherever he looked, a golden sword chrysanthemum came into view. The golden peak sword chrysanthemum was like a golden wave surging, swaying in the wind and making bursts of sword sounds, as if countless swords were dancing.

Under the innate magical power-recognition of all spirits, the attributes of the Golden Sword Chrysanthemum were fully presented in Li Mu's eyes.

[Golden Sword Chrysanthemum (growth period)]

[Grade: fifth-level spiritual plant]

[Features: dazzling golden light, breaking through the strong and sharp, introverted gold essence, self-generated sword energy]

[Status: accompanied by sword energy, accompanied by golden sword intent, and growing rapidly]

[Golden Sword Chrysanthemum, fifth-level spiritual plant, naturally contains golden sword energy, dazzling golden light, accompanied by sword energy, plant age: 72 years, its growth requirements: the place where the gold and essence energy meet, accompanied by sword energy, abundant spiritual power, twenty years of growth, the sword intent begins to appear, thirty years of sharp sword leaves, fifty years of sword chrysanthemum blooming, the flower stamens nurture a sword essence, and the golden sword chrysanthemum with a hundred years of medicinal age is one of the core materials for refining the Golden Soul Pill. ]

Li Mu bent down and gently stroked one of the sword chrysanthemums, feeling the sword energy it contained, and his heart could not help but surge.

In 28 years, this batch of spiritual plants will mature. The remaining six spiritual peaks planted several spiritual plants: Fire Scale Flame Fruit, Blue Spirit Moon Lotus, Yellow Vein Fruit, Green Vine Spirit Sunflower; Illusion Yin Grass, Jade Yang Spirit Fruit, will also mature in batches during this period.

When this batch of spiritual plants matures, it will be time for him to advance to the Refining Void Realm. Li Mu can't help but look forward to it.

At this time, a figure quietly appeared behind Li Mu. It was the incarnation of the spirit stationed at the Golden Sword Peak. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle and his temperament was as cold as ice.

Li Mu turned around and his eyes met with the incarnation of the spirit. There seemed to be some invisible bond between the two. This incarnation of the spirit was not only an extension of Li Mu's power, but also a manifestation of his will. It also had a part of independent consciousness. However, it always loyally stationed at the Golden Sword Peak and guarded this land of spiritual plants.

"You are here." Li Mu said softly, revealing a bit of relief and gratitude in his voice.

The Spiritual Avatar looked at Li Mu, was silent for a moment, and gestured: "The disciple you asked me to take has already advanced to the Golden Core stage. What should we do with him next!"

Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly realized and frowned. What was the name of the disciple that the Golden Avatar took with him? He tried to recall the name of that disciple, but it was a little vague for a moment. It seemed to be Zhao Tianchen!

"Well... that disciple..., if you don't want to take him with you, let him go out for some experience! You can concentrate on taking care of the spiritual field!" Li Mu thought for a while, looked at the Spiritual Avatar, and gestured.

"Understood!" The Spiritual Avatar nodded slightly, and then it flashed slightly and disappeared on the spot.

Watching the Golden Avatar leave, Li Mu's figure flashed, followed and left, returning to the City Lord's Mansion.

When Li Mu stepped into the hall, a middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor came towards him. It was Tianyan Shenjun.

When Tianyan Divine Lord saw Li Mu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He walked forward quickly, with a friendly smile on his face, and asked with concern: "Master, how come you are free today? Aren't you in seclusion? Is there something important?"

"It's almost time. I'm going to go out. After I leave, Qixuan Sect will be in your hands." Li Mu looked at Tianyan Divine Lord and gestured.

Hearing this, Tianyan Divine Lord was slightly startled, and immediately understood what Li Mu meant.

"Master, are you going to explore Lingxu Fudao? It's so sudden. I think the original body fell because of exploring this island,...!" Tianyan Divine Lord looked solemn and hurriedly reminded.

Lingxu Fudao is far away from Zhongzhou Lingyu. It is a mysterious place full of unknown dangers. Tianyan Divine Lord's original body fell because of exploring this place. Now Li Mu is going to find this place. This trip is probably extremely dangerous.

Li Mu smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Tianyan. Although there are some risks in going to Lingxu Fudao, I am not unprepared. I have a detailed plan and will act cautiously."

Lingxu Fudao is about to come out. No matter how dangerous it is, Li Mu will find a way to overcome it and will never give up easily.

Now, there are only three places away from collecting the seven extreme spiritual places - the extreme earth realm, the extreme fire realm, and the extreme yang realm. As for the other four extreme spiritual places, Li Mu has successfully mastered them. Either he has set up a small teleportation array in the spiritual land, or he has a way to enter and exit freely, and he has them firmly in his hands.

The extreme fire realm is located in the southern wilderness spiritual area, and this area is now in chaos. The battle between Feng Jianzhu, Chen Jianzhu and the forces of the Demon Abyss has lasted for decades. The two sides are evenly matched and have fallen into a stalemate. The seal of the extreme fire realm, as the core of the struggle between the two sides, naturally became the focus of the struggle between the two sides.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to obtain the Extreme Fire Realm.

There is no clue to the Extreme Yang Realm so far. Li Mu has entrusted the eight major families, Xuantian Sword Sect, and even Wanbao Pavilion and Tianji Tower to let Li's Treasure House call on a large number of independent cultivators to do everything they can to search for its whereabouts. However, it seems that this Extreme Yang Realm is covered by a mysterious force. No matter how powerful the exploration method is, it is impossible to see any trace of it.

The remaining Lingxu Fudao is very likely to be the seal of the Extreme Earth Realm, and Li Mu must not miss it.

The seven extreme spiritual lands will be the key to Li Mu's future planting of high-level spiritual plants. These spiritual lands will carry his hope of promotion to a higher realm. For Li Mu, they not only represent rich resources, but also the cornerstone of his future path.

Nowadays, a large number of fifth-level spiritual plants are planted on the seven main peaks of the Qixuan Sect. In order to nourish these spiritual plants and make them grow rapidly, not only a large amount of spiritual stones are needed, but also a large amount of high-level auxiliary spiritual materials are needed for assistance. In just a few decades, Li Mu has spent an astronomical amount of spiritual stones, which can almost meet the consumption of a medium-sized sect for a hundred years.

In the past hundred years, Li Mu has almost spent everything to obtain these high-level auxiliary spiritual materials, and invested all his worth in this huge project.

This is all thanks to Li Mu's extraordinary ability - the ability to earn spiritual stones for refining seventh-level Taoist tools. It is this ability that enables Li Mu to continuously provide the necessary nutrients for spiritual plants and grow rapidly. If it were someone else, I am afraid it would have been difficult to continue.

However, with the improvement of his cultivation, Li Mu's needs are also increasing. When he enters the realm of refining emptiness, the fifth-level spiritual plants will not be able to meet his needs. He must plant sixth-level and seventh-level spiritual plants to continue to provide him with plant spiritual properties and let his cultivation improve rapidly.

However, the auxiliary spiritual materials needed to plant these sixth- and seventh-level spiritual plants will be a horrible expense, which is definitely beyond Li Mu's ability to bear alone.

At this time, the importance of the seven extreme spiritual lands is particularly prominent. If you can cultivate spiritual fields in the extreme spiritual lands and plant these sixth- and seventh-level spiritual plants, not only will you not need to consume any auxiliary spiritual materials, but they will also be extremely suitable for the growth of high-level spiritual plants.

Therefore, the seven extreme spiritual lands have already been related to Li Mu's future path. They are of vital importance to him. He will do his best to overcome all difficulties and take the remaining extreme spiritual lands into his pocket.

Seeing that he could not persuade Li Mu, Tianyan Shenjun had to sigh and turned to support and wish: "Master, you have always thought deeply. Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you anymore. I wish you a smooth trip and a quick return."

Li Mu nodded, then flew into the air, and his figure gradually disappeared in the clouds.

Watching Li Mu's fleeting figure, Tianyan Shenjun's face sank, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Tianyan God Lord looked up at the formation pillars on the top of the seven main peaks of Qixuan Sect, his face showing excitement, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time, ready to execute some plan, but he was stumped by something and looked embarrassed.

Tianyan God Lord closed his eyes, as if he was concentrating all his mind, stretched out his hand to calculate, his five fingers kept moving in the air, as if he was drawing an invisible pattern, the pattern flickered slightly in the air, emitting a faint golden light.

"No! Where is it!" Tianyan God Lord muttered to himself, opened his eyes, and looked at the direction where Li Mu disappeared again, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

At this time, Li Mu was unaware of Tianyan God Lord's abnormality.

After flying out of Qixuan Sect, Li Mu released the Earth Yuan Spirit Ship, and then drove it, galloping above the clouds, all the way to the east.

Time passed in a flash, and half a year passed.

Li Mu drove the Earth Yuan Spirit Ship across half of the Zhongzhou Spirit Realm and finally arrived at the East Fantasy Sea where Lingxu Fudao was located.

Li Mu stood still with a sharp gaze, looking at the turbulent fantasy sea ahead, his brows furrowed.

The Fantasy Sea is deep, and legend has it that there are countless mysterious islands hidden, among which is his goal of this trip - Lingxu Fudao. However, to find an erratic island in the vast sea, its difficulty is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Li Mu could only rely on a purple jade slip and a sea compass to search aimlessly in the Fantasy Sea. He drove the flying boat, shuttled through the waves, and released his spiritual consciousness to search for the possible island atmosphere.

A few days later, the traces of Lingxu Fudao were as vague as smoke, and Li Mu still found nothing. During this period, he found many islands. The residents on the islands lived by catching sea beasts and spiritual fish.

Li Mu decided to find an island nearby to rest for a while, and then find some clues about Lingxu Fudao.

The sea breeze blew, and there were some simple fishing villages scattered on the island beside the sparkling Fantasy Sea. The island cultivators made a living by catching spiritual fish and digging spiritual pearls in the shallow sea, leading a simple and simple life.

Li Mu slowly landed on a fishing village on the island with his sword. Looking around, he saw that the fishing village was small but clean and tidy, and the villagers were busy and orderly.

Li Mu landed on his sword and walked into the fishing village. The salty and wet smell of sea water and the aroma of fresh sea fish came to his nose. Accompanied by the high-pitched singing of fishermen in the distance, the whole fishing village was full of vitality.

Li Mu walked forward along the winding path. On both sides of the road were fishermen drying their nets and freshly caught seafood. Children were playing in the open space. Occasionally, a woman would look out of the house and look at the strange visitor curiously.

Li Mu walked into a simple but clean teahouse. The waiter greeted him warmly: "Guest, do you want tea or wine? We also have spiritual fish soup. How about a bowl of spiritual fish soup to warm your body? The silver-tailed spiritual fish, a specialty of our island, tastes delicious and can nourish the spiritual veins."

"Okay, give me a bowl." Li Mu nodded and sat down at a table by the window.

Not long after, the waiter brought a bowl of steaming spiritual fish soup in front of Li Mu.

While tasting the delicious spiritual fish soup, Li Mu looked at the scene of the fishing village outside the window.

At this time, several fishermen in coarse cloth clothes sat around a table. They talked and laughed loudly, discussing the recent harvest and the recent situation on the island.

"Old Wang, the red flame spirit fish you caught yesterday was really big, and it sold for a lot of spirit stones!" A bearded fisherman said excitedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, just five medium spirit stones." The white-haired old fisherman smiled and responded.

"Five medium spirit stones are already very good, Old Wang, you are really a fishing expert in our village!" A young fisherman next to him said enviously.

"Recently, the number of spirit fish in the sea seems to have increased a lot, and we can be regarded as lucky." The old fisherman called Old Wang responded happily.

"That's true, but there have been some strange things happening recently." Another young fisherman lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that someone saw a yellow glow flying into the sky over Dongyun Island, which lasted for a whole night."

"Oh? There is such a strange thing?" The fishermen all showed surprised expressions.

"Yes, I have heard about it too. Some people say that the beam of light is a precursor to the appearance of the immortal palace, while others say that it is some kind of demon beast." The young fisherman nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "In short, the Fantasy Sea seems to be not very peaceful recently. Don't leave the island casually if you have nothing to do."

Li Mu's heart moved. He put down the bowl in his hand, walked forward and asked: "Little brother, where did you see the yellow glow you mentioned? Where is Dongyun Island located?"

Seeing that Li Mu came to talk, but his cultivation was not weak, the young fisherman hurriedly responded respectfully: "Senior, I heard about the yellow glow from others. I can't tell the specific location, but I heard some fishermen who returned from the deep sea mentioned it. They said that the glow was dazzling, rushing straight from the bottom of the sea to the sky, illuminating the entire sea area, as if a fairy palace was about to appear.

"As for Dongyun Island, it is located in the northeast of the Fantasy Sea. It is a relatively remote island with abundant spiritual energy and top-grade spiritual veins. There are many rare spiritual herbs and spiritual fish growing around it. This island is the Taoist temple of Huang Yun Taoist. Generally, casual cultivators dare not easily land on the island. "The young fisherman quickly added a detailed introduction.

"Well! Thank you for your recommendation, brother!" Li Mu nodded gratefully, then took out two medium-grade spirit stones from the Jiuzang Lingzhu and threw them into his hands.

Li Mu thought to himself that if Lingxu Blessed Land appeared in the world, it would often be accompanied by various strange phenomena. This mysterious beam of light might really be related to Lingxu Blessed Land.

Then, Li Mu hurriedly paid the bill, flew up on his sword, and flew towards Dongyun Island. (End of this chapter)
