Chapter 443 Qing Mu Cang Yuan

As the consciousness of the Immortal Demon God gradually faded, the terrifying pressure that enveloped the Demon Palace also dissipated, causing the demon cultivators who had been under the heavy pressure of the terrifying aura to breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves were briefly relaxed.

After respectfully sending off the consciousness of the Immortal Demon God, several demon lords sat in a circle and looked at each other, all with gloomy faces and particularly heavy hearts.

The Blood Refining Demon Lord, wearing a blood-red robe and with eyes as sharp as a knife, stared at the soul of the Immortal Demon Lord Tian Jue, and angrily called him by name: "Right now, we are in a dangerous situation surrounded by powerful enemies, but you have brought us such a huge trouble again, Tian Jue! You really know how to make trouble for us!"

The Blood Refining Demon Lord's voice was full of strong dissatisfaction and accusations, like a cold wind that pierced the bones, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

The Shadow Demon Lord and the Soul Devouring Demon Lord also had expressionless faces and cold eyes. Obviously, they were also very dissatisfied with what the Immortal Demon Lord had just reported to the Demon God.

The Immortal Demon Lord Tian Jue is not a demon cultivator from the Demon Abyss, but a native of the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm. He unexpectedly obtained a great opportunity and was favored by the Immortal Demon God, and cultivated an immortal magic skill. With this opportunity, he quickly rose to prominence, especially after the death of the Blood Demon Lord Dana, he became the leader of all the demon lords and dominated them.

Now that the Immortal Demon Lord's body has been destroyed and his soul has been severely damaged, it is a good time to attack him. If they were not in the same camp and were suppressed by the demon gods above, they would have wanted to take this opportunity to devour the Immortal Demon Lord's soul.

The Shadow Demon Lord took the lead and said coldly: "You can deal with Tian Jue. Don't expect us to support you. We are already facing a powerful attack from the Xuantian Sword Sect. We are under great pressure and can no longer provide you with any help."

The Soul Devouring Demon Lord followed closely and said in the same cold and ruthless manner: "That's right! Our first task is to defend against the attack from the Xuantian Sword Sect. You should be able to handle a mere Divine Transformation cultivator!"

The Immortal Demon Lord Tian Jue did not show any fear in the face of the accusations from the Blood Refining Demon Lord and the other two Demon Lords. He glanced at them lightly, with a sneer on his lips, and didn't care about their dissatisfaction.

"Three, don't be so excited. Just do as you wish. You are responsible for resisting the Xuantian Sword Sect, and I will be fully responsible for this person." The Immortal Demon Lord's voice was calm, with a trace of unforgettable hatred in his eyes, and he took the responsibility.

"Heh! Can you take responsibility? If you can't handle this fate yourself, then Lord Demon God will blame us!" Blood Refining Demon Lord smiled coldly, his tone full of sarcasm and doubt.

Tian Jue's body was destroyed and his soul was severely injured. It was almost impossible for him to go to Zhongzhou and deal with the Divine Transformation cultivator under the protection of Xuantian Sword Sect. He was more worried that if Tian Jue failed, Lord Demon God's wrath would fall on all of them.

Facing the doubts of Blood Refining Demon Lord, the Immortal Demon Lord showed a weird smile on his face.

"You can rest assured!" The Immortal Demon Lord looked at the three people, his voice calm and firm, and said solemnly: "Since I dare to take this task, I naturally have my plan. My Immortal Demonic Power is still there, and it won't take long to recover my body. What's more, that kid has confirmed that I have fallen, so he will definitely not be on guard. A mere Divine Transformation cultivator, if I get close to him, he will definitely die."

Hearing the words of the Immortal Demon Lord, the Blood Refining Demon Lord and the other two demon lords couldn't help but feel moved. The strength of the Immortal Demon Lord Tian Jue is unfathomable. If he doesn't have the protection of the Xuantian Sword Sect, it will be easy for him to deal with a mere Divine Transformation cultivator.

"Okay! In that case, we will act according to your plan." The Blood Refining Demon Lord nodded, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "However, I want to remind you that if you fail, you will bear the wrath of the Demon Lord alone."

"No problem!" The Immortal Demon Lord smiled faintly, looked at the three Demon Lords and gestured: "Just don't worry about resisting the attack of Xuantian Sword Sect! Help me catch a Refining Void cultivator, I want to plant a demon to take over his body, and when I regain my body, I will make that person disappear from this world forever!"

The three Demon Lords responded to the Immortal Demon Lord's request, and they quickly adjusted their strategies. On the one hand, they led the army to resist the fierce attack from the Zhongzhou cultivators, and on the other hand, they secretly looked for a suitable Refining Void cultivator as the object of the Immortal Demon Lord's possession.

...

Zhongzhou Spiritual Domain, Qixuan Sect, Sect Master's Mansion.

The atmosphere in the Sect Master's Hall was solemn and warm. Today, the patriarchs of the eight major families came together to visit Li Mu.

Upon hearing the news, Li Mu quickly walked out of the Painting World Treasure House and appeared in the main hall to meet the clan leaders.

Entering the main hall of the clan leader, Li Mu's eyes swept over the eight clan leaders who stood up, and his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a warm smile. He bowed his hands and greeted everyone, saying: "Dear clan leaders, welcome to the Seven Mysterious Sect. Li is deeply honored and fortunate to be able to gather with you."

"Hello, clan leader Li!" The clan leaders stood up and responded. They did not despise Li Mu because of his current spiritual cultivation. Instead, they showed him great respect.

"Clan leader Li, you are welcome!" Kun Yuanba, the head of the Kun family, responded with a smile, and his eyes showed appreciation and admiration for Li Mu.

Among all the clan leaders, Ji Zhantian, the head of the Ji clan, took two steps to Li Mu, bowed and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Master Li, for eliminating a huge hidden danger for my Ji family. Our clan elder, Ji Wuheng, was actually killed by the Immortal Demon Lord and replaced by him. He had great ambitions and even intended to murder Master Li. It was really a heinous crime. Thanks to Master Li, you saw through his face and completely eliminated him, avenging Wuheng. This kindness will be remembered in my Ji family!"

Ji Zhantian's words showed admiration and gratitude for Li Mu. If Li Mu had not discovered and eliminated Wuheng in time, the Ji family would probably fall into an unprecedented crisis.

"That's true. Fortunately, Master Li discovered the conspiracy of the 'Immortal Demon Lord' in advance. He must have come for the Cangyuan Secret Realm." Shangguan Yun, head of the Shangguan family

"That's right. According to the ancestors, the Cangyuan Secret Realm is indeed one of the great formations that seal the passage between the two worlds. If it weren't for Master Li discovering this beast, not only the Ji family, but you and I would not be spared!" Nangong Lie, head of the Nangong family, agreed.

"That's right! As one of the great formations that seal the passage between the two worlds, the importance of the Cangyuan Secret Realm is self-evident. Once the Immortal Demon Lord controls the Cangyuan Secret Realm, the consequences will be disastrous." Kun Yuanba followed and echoed.

"It is the credit of the three sword elders to eliminate the Immortal Demon Lord. I dare not take credit for it!" Li Mu laughed and responded modestly.

Then, Li Mu changed the subject, looked at the eight clan leaders, and asked with a smile: "Clan leaders, this time we came together, it's not just for this matter!"

Kun Yuanba, the head of the Kun family, has always been good friends with Li Mu. He responded first: "Master Li, to be honest, we have already discussed it. If Master Li is interested, our eight major families are willing to go to Cangyuan Secret Realm with Master Li."

Li Mu nodded slightly, turned his eyes to the other clan leaders, and confirmed: "Clan leaders, is this what you all mean?"

Nangong Lie nodded with a smile, but his tone was a bit solemn: "What Master Kun said is true. Our eight major families have indeed reached a consensus and are willing to go to Cangyuan Secret Realm with Master Li. However, there are two things that need to be explained in advance, and Master Li is asked to agree first."

"Please tell me, Master Nangong, what do you need me to agree to first?" Li Mu asked with sharp eyes and surprise.

Nangong Lie took a deep breath, looked at Li Mu and said solemnly: "The Cangyuan Secret Realm is the lifeline of our eight major families guarding for generations. It is not only the ancestral precepts, but also closely related to the safety of this world. Therefore, we need to understand the real purpose of Li Zongzhu entering the Cangyuan Secret Realm. If there is no substantial negative impact on the Cangyuan Secret Realm, we will naturally welcome Li Zongzhu. If it may cause irreversible damage to the secret realm, even if Li Zongzhu is the supreme elder of Xuantian Sword Sect, we will find it difficult to agree."

So that's what happened. What Nangong Lie said is understandable. After all, the Cangyuan Secret Realm is under their control, and it is also a sub-array of the seal between the two worlds. It is reasonable for them to consider so much.

Li Mu nodded slightly, expressing his understanding: "I fully understand what Patriarch Nangong is worried about. I know the preciousness and importance of Cangyuan Secret Realm better than anyone else. It is not only a treasure land rich in resources, but also the key to maintaining the balance between the two worlds. Please rest assured, fellow Taoists, I will never do anything to harm Cangyuan Secret Realm and threaten the safety of the two worlds."

After a pause, Li Mu added: "I did have my own purpose in going to Cangyuan Secret Realm this time. But I assure you that these purposes are to make better use of the resources of the secret realm and ensure that its sealing structure will not be destroyed!"

Hearing this, the eight patriarchs looked at Li Mu and waited for the next words.

"To be frank! I know more about the Cangyuan Secret Realm and even the Great Sealing Array between the Two Realms than you do!" Li Mu smiled and said confidently: "The Great Sealing Array between the Two Realms is called the Chaos Sealing Array, which consists of seven sub-arrays: the Earthly Evil Gathering Yin Array, the Heavenly Gang Gathering Yang Array, the Divine Water Mysterious Spirit Array, the Green Wood Cangyuan Array... The seven sub-arrays are distributed in the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm, the Extreme North Spiritual Realm, and the Southern Wilderness Spiritual Realm, forming a super-large array to seal the two realms."

"After tens of thousands of years of accumulation and precipitation, each sub-array has formed a unique extreme spiritual land. If I am right, the Cangyuan Secret Realm is a vast Wood Yuan extreme realm, where green wood flourishes, full of vitality, and contains endless Wood Yuan power."

Hearing this, the eight clan leaders looked at each other and were all impressed by Li Mu's profound knowledge of arrays.

"That's true, Master Li, you are indeed an expert in both formations and weapons, and you have reached the pinnacle in formations." Nangong Lie praised sincerely: "Master Li's understanding of the Chaos Sealing Array and its various sub-arrays makes us who have been guarding the Cangyuan Secret Realm for many years feel ashamed."

Ji Zhantian nodded and agreed: "Master Li is right, the Cangyuan Secret Realm is indeed a wood element realm, with flourishing green trees and full of vitality. The wood element power there is an irresistible temptation for practitioners!"

"I wonder what Master Li plans to do when he enters the Cangyuan Secret Realm?" Zhao Wuji, the head of the Zhao family, asked inquiringly.

Li Mu smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. You all know that I am good at refining weapons and can refine the seventh-level Dao sword. However, many of the spiritual woods required for the seventh-level Dao sword are rare. It is as difficult to find them as finding a needle in a haystack. They need to grow quickly in a very spiritual place. Therefore, I hope to mark out a spiritual land in the secret realm and plant a batch of high-level spiritual plants without destroying the seal of the Cangyuan Secret Realm."

"Secondly, I also know that the Cangyuan Secret Realm is a sub-array of the seal between the two realms. Its stability plays an extremely important role in the seal of the two-world channel. Therefore, I hope to use my array skills to reinforce and improve the seal array in the secret realm to ensure that it can more stably withstand the pressure of the two realms, prevent the seal from being broken, and open the two-world channel."

Of course, this is just Li Mu's excuse for exploring the Cangyuan Secret Realm. He can absorb the improvement method from the plant spirits. The secret of the realm is his greatest reliance, and he must not tell others.

After listening to Li Mu's explanation, the eight clan leaders all breathed a sigh of relief.

Kun Yuanba quickly answered and said affirmatively: "It's just planting some high-level spiritual plants, the impact is not big. Cangyuan Secret Realm is indeed as Li Zongzhu said, it is a very spiritual land with rich spiritual energy, which is very suitable for the growth of high-level spiritual roots. Planting a lot of high-level spiritual plants will not only have no impact on Cangyuan Secret Realm, but will have some benefits."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, looked at Nangong Lie and asked with concern: "Clan leader Nangong, I wonder what the second thing you are talking about is?"

Nangong Lie replied solemnly: "The second thing is about the matter of refining Taoist soldiers. After discussions among our families, the order of refining Taoist soldiers has been determined. However, it takes several years for you to refine a Taoist soldier. We urgently hope that you can give a clear deadline commitment."

"At present, the activities of the Demon Abyss forces are becoming more and more rampant. The Immortal Demon Lord can even replace the elders of the Ji family. As the backbone of the guardian of the spiritual domain, our eight major families must improve their strength as soon as possible to cope with the upcoming challenges." Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice.

"That's right, Master Li, we hope to get the Dao soldiers as soon as possible!" Shangguan Yun looked at Li Mu and said expectantly.

Li Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood their urgency. After thinking for a moment, he decided: "I understand your urgency. Regarding the deadline for refining Dao soldiers, I can give a clear promise here. If there is no problem with the allocation of spiritual land in Cangyuan Secret Realm, I will definitely refine the Dao soldiers needed by the eight major families within 50 years."

"Fifty years?" Nangong Lie and Zhao Wuji and others looked at each other. This number was shorter than they expected. Considering the complexity of refining Dao soldiers and Li Mu's refining ability, they also felt that this was a relatively reasonable deadline.

The eight clan leaders looked at each other, nodded one after another, and reached a consensus.

"Thank you, Master Li. When do you plan to enter Cangyuan Secret Realm?" Kun Yuanba looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.

Hearing this, Li Mu was slightly delighted and said, "Since everyone has reached a consensus, you can prepare to enter the Cangyuan Secret Realm immediately."

Before meeting with the eight clan leaders, Li Mu used divination in advance to calculate his fortune. Without the lurking and secretly spying of the Immortal Demon Lord, this trip to the Cangyuan Secret Realm will be auspicious and smooth. (End of this chapter)
