The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 991 Living on the Constellation Demon Mountain at Night

The conclusion was a little unbelievable for Li Mu.

He carefully translated it according to the translation book, but he made the same conclusion as before.

The inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless had indeed been put to the Ziwei Star Zone before he died.

What shocked Li Mu the most was the method to break through the barrier of this world and go to the Ziwei Star Zone. The Cosmic Emperor Deathless had secretly left an altar in a tactical deployment somewhere. As long as the altar was activated, a space-time gate could be opened.

Li Mu was overjoyed.

After he came to this world, the biggest problem he faced was how to return to Earth after gathering Wang Shiyu’s souls and psyches.

Now it seemed that the problem would be solved.

On the dark golden piece of paper, the route to the altar of the tactical deployment was drawn on it.

He had gotten the method now!

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Cosmic Emperor Deathless also mentioned the method of merging with the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire in this letter.

He believed Liuyun Wuxin and Liuyun Wufeng got the method to merge with the Divine Fire from it.

Liuyun Wuxin said that he had obtained half of the method but believed that Liuyun Wufeng had obtained a complete one.

However, the Cosmic Emperor Deathless mentioned that there was a chance for him to become an emperor by perfectly merging with the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire. But in that case, he could only become an emperor by casting. Moreover, the Cosmic Emperor Deathless had not merged with any Darkest Soul-devouring Fire but still succeeded in becoming an emperor.

“If one’s heart is not driven by fame, wealth, or external factors, and one’s will is not driven by things unwilling to do, one will be free and unfettered. Above the emperor is a different world.”

These words were from the Characters of Protoss.

Li Mu looked at that line of words and pondered it for a long time. Then, he suddenly gave up his plan to merge with the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire.

He had an intuition.

His intuition told Li Mu this method to become an emperor was not a good choice for him.

The Cosmic Emperor Deathless had become an emperor without merging with any Darkest Soul-devouring Fire. Now, Li Mu had the Xiantian Skill and Zhenwu Boxing, and he also had the emperor-level sword manual like the Whitehair Swordsmanship of the Sword Savant. There was no need for him to take a shortcut by merging with the Darkest Soul-devouring Fire.

“I can search for the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. Anyway, I will go back to the Ziwei Star Zone and return to Earth sooner or later.” Li Mu thought to himself, “But before that, I must find all the souls and psyches of Wang Shiyu. It is the most important thing. Moreover, I have promised the head of the Sanctuary of the Way that I will participate in the fighting ring contest of the Sacred Deathmatch. There is still a year left.”

Li Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He found that when he didn’t have to take the heavy responsibility of saving the earth, he still had a lot of things to do.

“Is this what life is like in Jianghu?”

In the next few days, Li Mu practiced the Whitehair Swordsmanship of using broadswords instead of swords in the cave of the Bamboo Retreat.

On the 10th day, Liuyun Wuxin came to the Sanctuary of the Way to visit him.

Along with him was the First Sword of the Liuyuns, the backbone of the Liuyun family.

The news that the First Sword of the Liuyuns had come back to life had spread within a certain range. The Sanctuary of the Way had already received the news. After all, he was a living legend in the world, so they welcomed him with great importance. It was said that even the head of the Sanctuary of the Way had met the First Sword of the Liuyuns.

Later, led by the Green Ox Taoist, the First Sword of the Liuyuns and Liuyun Wuxin came to the cave residence in the Bamboo Retreat to visit Li Mu.

“Young friend, nice to meet you again.” The First Sword of the Liuyuns was in high spirits. His vigor had been restored to the peak level, and he had quite the demeanor of a Zongshi Master.

“Senior, you’ve fully recovered. Congratulations.” Li Mu cupped his hands.

“Chief.” A young man with black hair and a thin face came up and saluted Li Mu.

Li Mu had long noticed that he was Liuyun Wuxin, who had consolidated his cultivation in the Way Sage Realm. After the breakthrough, his lifespan had increased, and his blood and Qi were abundant, so he returned to a young state from his old state before.

This was the benefit of being a martial arts practitioner.

“My cave is rough and crude, and I don’t have good things to entertain you. Please forgive me.” Li Mu took out the fine wine from the Sanctuary of the Way brought by the Green Ox Taoist to treat the First Sword of the Liuyuns.

The First Sword of the Liuyuns didn’t mind at all, and he said, “Don’t be so polite, young friend. I came here to repay the kindness you’ve shown to my Liuyun family. I want to give you these gifts to express my gratitude. Please don’t refuse.”

He handed over a list of gifts.

Li Mu did not refuse. He opened it and read the words on it. There was a divine broadsword named Ice and Snow, a set of armor named Blooming Frost, 100,000 fairy crystals, and nearly a hundred servants and immortal maidservants.

“He’s so generous.”

Without thinking, Li Mu said directly, “I’ll accept the broadsword, the armor, and the fairy crystals. As for the servants, please take them back. I’m a martial arts practitioner, so I can’t indulge in a good life.”

The First Sword of the Liuyuns smiled and said, “I knew you would say that. Then I’ll do as you say.”

After a pause, he said, “Although the Liuyun family has declined, it is still a millennium family. We have some resources and channels. If you need any help, just tell me. We will try our best.”

Li Mu said, “I don’t deserve it. I just want to complete the training task of the Military of Man. I’m already ashamed after receiving your generous gifts. How can I trouble you with other things?”

The First Sword of the Liuyuns smiled and talked to Li Mu about verifying martial arts, especially swordsmanship.

Li Mu enjoyed talking about it.

He had just practiced the Whitehair Swordsmanship. Although he had gained some initial success in it, he still benefited a lot from communicating with the First Sword of the Liuyuns, a king of swordsmanship.

They talked for three days and three nights.

Three days later, the First Sword of the Liuyuns got up and said with great emotion, “Young friend, you are indeed a talented person. You have an unparalleled talent for Sword Way. But you practice using broadswords. If you abandon your broadswords to practice swords, you will definitely be the supreme master of the Sword Way in the future.”

Li Mu hurriedly said, “Senior, please don’t think so highly of me. I think I’m also a rare genius when practicing broadsword skills.”

The First Sword of the Liuyuns was stunned for a moment. Then he burst out laughing. “Boy, I’ve never seen anyone like you in my life. I’ve told you almost all my insights and attainments in Sword Way. This Liuyun Sword Scripture is the result of my painstaking effort. Although you don’t practice swords, I believe it’s useful to you.”

He took out a silk booklet, and on the front page was its name — Liuyun Sword Scripture.

Li Mu was really shocked.

Although the First Sword of the Liuyuns was not an emperor, he was known as the number one sword outside the Brotherhood of Swords. His swordsmanship was also an extreme art that shocked the world and caused countless people to covet it. In the past, many sword practitioners wanted to become the disciples of the First Sword of the Liuyuns but failed. Even the geniuses inside the Liuyun family had not won the favor of the First Sword of the Liuyuns, and none of them had obtained this sword scripture.

This was a truly generous gift.

“Senior, you have already given me a divine broadsword, a set of divine armor, and 100,000 fairy crystals. I don’t dare to accept this book of sword scripture.” Li Mu was quite thick-skinned. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted the great gifts from the Liuyun family without blinking. However, this sword scripture was so precious that he couldn’t maintain his thick skin anymore.

...

The First Sword of the Liuyuns said, “A treasured broadsword should be given to a knight, and beauty should be accompanied by a hero. You are destined to create your own path sooner or later. This sword scripture should be helpful to you. Please accept it.”

After that, he turned into a stream of light, soared into the sky, and left directly.

“Li Mu, I’m looking forward to your growth.”

The voice of the First Sword of the Liuyuns came from a distance.

Holding the sword scripture in his hand, Li Mu made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest in the direction of the First Sword of the Liuyuns.

As the living legend of the Human Clan, he was indeed a master.

Li Mu went back to the cave and flipped through the sword scripture. Soon, he was intoxicated by it.

The Liuyun Sword Scripture deserved to be written by the First Sword of the Liuyuns. Although it was not as good as the Whitehair Swordsmanship, it contained the mystery of a Great Way in many aspects. Its subtlety made Li Mu slam the table and exclaim in admiration. It complemented the Whitehair Swordsmanship. Combined with what he had learned from the discussion with the First Sword of the Liuyuns for three days and three nights, many doubts in Li Mu’s mind were suddenly solved.

“With this sword scripture, my path of turning using swords into broadswords will be perfect.”

Li Mu was overjoyed.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Li Mu had been cultivating in seclusion in the cave of the Bamboo Retreat.

The cold season of the Battlefield of Chaos had reached its most severe stage.

On this day, the Green Ox Taoist came again.

“Junior fellow apprentice Li, I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?” There was a hint of mystery on the honest face of the Green Ox Taoist.

Li Mu said, “Ha… When did you become so naughty? Well, let’s hear the good news first.”

The Green Ox laughed and said, “The good news is that the Brotherhood of Swords has found a clue about the souls and psyches of the girl you have been searching for.”

“Really?” Li Mu was overjoyed and said, “Where is it?”

By then, he only needed to find two souls of Wang Shiyu. He worried that if there was no news about the two souls, he would have to spend more time on the thing. After all, the Battlefield of Chaos was so big that even with the help of the Sanctuary of the Way and the Brotherhood of Swords, it was still hard to search for the souls. If fate had not brought them together, it might have taken decades or centuries to find them. He did not expect to have a new clue so soon.

The Green Ox Taoist said, “The bad news is that the girl’s psyches and souls are not in the territory of the Human Clan but in the Constellation Demon Mountain. It used to be an ancient battlefield, located in a chaotic area beyond the control of various races. The experts of various clans gathered there. It is like an evil pit, and some extremely vicious people are there. Many of them are on the List of the Condemned of the major forces, so you’ll be dangerous there.”

Li Mu’s heart sank.

The first thing that came to his mind was if it was in such a place, would the souls of Wang Shiyu be in danger?

“Thank you, Brother Green Ox. Please tell me the details of the clue now. I’ll set off today.” Li Mu couldn’t wait any longer.

Green Ox said, “The head of the Sanctuary of the Way ordered me to go to Constellation Demon Mountain with you to help you. Let’s talk on the way.”
