After the Sky Void Demon Emperor was Sealed, Wan Yao City remained calm.
Li Mu, accompanied by Xiao Jin, returned to Youlin Residence and opened the Sky Void Demon Emperor's storage Magic Treasure, which was a bracelet-style Magic Treasure. After the Sky Void Demon Emperor's death, it naturally became his spoils of war.
Wiping away the Divine Soul imprint, Li Mu's Divine Thought moved, and he inspected the valuables inside.
Inside, in addition to a large number of High-Grade Spirit Stones and some Heaven And Earth Treasures, there were also two Seven-rank Time-Space Spirit Materials, which could barely be considered good. The rest were some Spirit Objects of low value.
However, the two Seven-rank Time-Space Spirit Materials were quite numerous, befitting his status as an Eight-rank Mahayana Demon Emperor.
Li Mu took them out, and under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, the attributes of the two Seven-rank Spirit Materials appeared before his eyes.
【Void Nether Stone】
【Rank: Seven-rank Spirit Material】
【Characteristics: Profound Void Realm, stone containing space, distorting space, deep color, stone reflecting infinity】
【Void Nether Stone, a Seven-rank space Spirit Object, a strange stone that has drifted for hundreds of millions of Years from the endless Void Realm, with a color as deep as night, containing incredible spatial power. It embeds fragments of the Void Realm from the birth of the Universe and is tightly interwoven with the surrounding spatial Laws, capable of distorting reality, opening Void Realm passages, and possessing the miraculous effect of instantaneous travel over thousands of miles.】
【Boundary Spirit Soil】
【Rank: Seven-rank Spirit Material】
【Characteristics: Boundary soil, boundary force heavy clouds, separating Heaven and Earth, mottled colors of time, soil containing micro-worlds】
【Boundary Spirit Soil, a Seven-rank space Spirit Object, a handful of Spirit Soil nurtured for hundreds of millions of Years at the confluence of different boundaries, with mottled colors. Every grain of soil contains the seed of an independent Small World, containing the original energy from the birth of the boundary, tightly connected to multi-dimensional space, capable of creating or stabilizing a Small World, and possessing the supreme power to separate Heaven and Earth.】
Looking at the attributes of the two Seven-rank Time-Space Spirit Materials, Li Mu's heart stirred, and he took out the jar he had acquired the day before when he stumbled upon the Spirit Lotus seeds.
Under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, its attributes clearly appeared.
【Time-Space Hidden Seal Jar (Sealed)】
【Rank: Seven-rank Dao Artifact】
【Status: Spirituality not apparent, Time-Space power condensed in the Seal.】
【Characteristics: Time-Space power, ethereal containment, containing the Universe, flowing infinitely, spiritual brilliance not apparent.】
【Carrying ancient charm deeply hidden, the porcelain is warm and time is silent. Under the Seal, the Spiritual Qi is hidden and does not leak. As Years flow, its ancient charm becomes more apparent. It contains a Time-Space Seal Formation, its attributes are not apparent, but it is sufficient to stably store Spirit Medicine and Spirit Liquid. By injecting powerful Time-Space Origin, it can break the Seal and regain new life.】
There were seven hundred and fifty Time-Space Spirit Lotus seeds inside the vessel, and the vessel containing the Spirit Lotuses was even a Seven-rank Dao Artifact, containing powerful Time-Space power.
The Sky Void Demon Emperor was quite discerning.
Li Mu smiled slightly, took out the Spirit Lotus seeds, and stored the jar separately, to be unsealed later. As for the two Seven-rank Time-Space Spirit Materials, they had many uses: they could serve as auxiliary materials for the growth of the Time-Space Spirit Lotus, or be used to refine Seven-rank Time-Space Dao Artifacts, or even as the foundation for a Teleportation Formation.
Li Mu continued to inventory the remaining materials, feeling a bit disappointed.
Most of the low-rank Spirit Materials were of no value to Li Mu. He casually tossed the low-rank Artifact Refining Spirit Materials and Spirit Medicine into his tianxuan ring.
At this moment, if the other Demon Emperors in Wan Yao City saw Li Mu disdaining these Spirit Materials and Spirit Medicine so much, they would probably be directly angered to death.
The Sky Void Demon Emperor's wealth was the most abundant among them.
The Magic Treasures and Spirit Medicine on the Sky Void Demon Emperor had long been coveted by them.
Li Mu looked at the remaining low-rank Magic Treasures and various Demon Artifacts, then put them into the Painting World Treasure Mansion, allowing Xue'er and Xiao Jin to distribute them freely.
This made Xiao Jin and the others extremely happy. They all gathered together, chattering as they picked out their favorite items.
That night, Li Mu released his Divine Sense to observe the changes throughout Wan Yao City. He observed for four or five days straight.
As a result, the entire Wan Yao City remained as usual, and Li Mu finally felt at ease.
After all, at the Cultivation Realm of the Sky Void Demon Emperor and others, sometimes a single seclusion could last for more than ten or even several decades, so a temporary disappearance would not attract much attention.
This also put Li Mu at ease. At least for now, when looking for the nine-rank divine object - Cangyuan Azure Wood, he should not be disturbed by anyone.
Li Mu clearly perceived the location of the nine-rank divine object - Cangyuan Azure Wood through that wisp of his separated Soul, so he set his primary target on the area where the Wood Demon Emperor resided.
The area where the Wood Demon Emperor resided was Wood Flower Street, which was also the most prosperous area in the entire Wan Yao City. A large number of wood-type Yao Race gathered here, opening various shops.
Most of them specialized in helping other Yao Race heal their injuries, as well as selling or refining Medicinal Pills, which were precisely what many Yao Race needed most. Therefore, there was a constant flow of people here, and members of various Yao Race forces gathered.
Wood Flower Street, as a shining pearl in Wan Yao City, was as prosperous as the main street of a large Human Race immortal city.
On both sides of the street, shops stood in rows, and colorful signboards swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a faint scent of wood and Medicine, intertwining into a refreshing aroma.
On the street, Yao Race Cultivators came and went in an endless stream. They were either dressed in magnificent Yao Race robes or draped in primitive beast skins, with various forms. Here, there were not only rare Medicinal Materials from various places, but also highly skilled Yao Race apothecaries. They were adept at utilizing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and plant essences to refine miraculous Medicinal Pills that could heal injuries and enhance Cultivation.
In the center of Wood Flower Street, there was a huge square, and in the square stood an ancient giant tree. Its trunk was thick, and its branches and leaves were lush, as if it were the guardian god of the entire Wood Flower Street. This giant tree was called the "Myriad Demon Ancient Tree." Legend has it that it contained the mysteries of the wood-element Law and could communicate with Heaven and Earth, bringing endless vitality to Wood Flower Street. Every night, this tree would emit a soft blue light, illuminating the entire square.
Deep within Wood Flower Street, some even more mysterious shops were hidden. They were often opened by powerful Yao Race, selling some rare and hard-to-find items, such as Spirit Plants containing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Demon Pills that could improve Cultivation, Spirit Treasures, and Demon Artifacts. These shops were often bustling with customers, attracting powerful Yao Race members from all directions of Wan Yao City.
Li Mu and Xiao Jin strolled along Wood Flower Street, feeling the liveliness and prosperity here.
"It's so peaceful here. I can't feel any Killing Intent at all. How strange!" Xiao Jin scratched his head.
The seemingly peaceful Wood Flower Street, however, repeatedly revealed strangeness. For some reason, Xiao Jin felt a peculiar sensation quietly spreading in his heart upon arriving here.
Li Mu also had this strange feeling when he came to Wood Flower Street. He thought about it carefully and then realized why it felt strange.
It was the Evil Qi…
Whether it was just entering Wan Yao City or staying in an inn, everywhere revealed the unique Evil Qi of the Yao Race.
The Yao Race were more hot-blooded than the Human Race. If there were grievances, they would put them out in the open. If words didn't agree, they would draw their blades, spilling blood everywhere. They would not hide their Aura or suppress their Killing Intent like the Human Race.
Therefore, the Yao Race always carried a faint Evil Qi, and coupled with the fact that this was Wan Yao City, the number of Yao Race was extremely large.
Numerous Evil Qi gathered here, and it could be felt at all times.
But when Li Mu and his companions stepped into Wood Flower Street, they found that there was no Evil Qi to be felt here; instead, it was exceptionally peaceful.
After staying in a place with Evil Qi for a long time, suddenly coming to a place without Evil Qi, it was no wonder Li Mu felt something was off.
"This place is really nice. Although it's very strange, I feel light, just like being in the Treasure Mansion." Xiao Jin, who was usually short-tempered and would get into a fight after three sentences, changed his usual behavior today. He stayed obediently by Li Mu's side, doing everything without haste.
If Li Mu hadn't known Xiao Jin's personality, he would have almost thought it was Xue'er by his side.
"Wake up, there's something strange about the faint medicinal scent in the air around here."
Li Mu also felt a very calm feeling in his heart, not wanting to contend with others, just quietly planting his Spirit Plants, slowly improving his Cultivation little by little, and then soaring above the Nine Heavens.
Just as this thought arose in his heart, Li Mu gradually realized something was wrong. Relying on his super strong Divine Soul Cultivation, he immediately realized that he had also fallen victim.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Suddenly biting the tip of his tongue, the stinging pain accompanied by a hint of blood bloomed in his mouth, which finally brought Li Mu's consciousness back.
When he patted Xiao Jin, a small stream of Chaos Origin Power entered Xiao Jin's body, and then he also woke up.
"Master... How strange, just now I felt like I entered a dream. Someone wants to harm us?!" The awakened Xiao Jin was instantly furious. Just as he was about to release his Aura to expose the manipulator behind the scenes, Li Mu's hand rested on his head.
"No one is harming us. It's the scent emanating from that ancient tree. The scent released by this ancient tree can soothe the mind, remove evil thoughts, and calm the Soul, which is why you relaxed all your vigilance." Li Mu used his Heavenly Talent - Identifying Myriad Spirits and after checking, he realized that this faint medicinal fragrance was actually produced by that ancient tree that was tens of thousands of Years old.
Xiao Jin was speechless. He finally understood why the Yao Race here didn't carry Evil Qi after coming to this place; it was because of this ancient tree.
"So that's it, Master. Could it be that the nine-rank divine object - Cangyuan Azure Wood is right here?" Xiao Jin's eyes flickered as he transmitted his voice, asking softly.
Li Mu smiled slightly, not answering, but he had already given a clear reply.
Just then, a terrifying Demon Emperor pressure suddenly descended.
As this pressure spread, the surrounding temperature instantly plummeted, and layers of frost slowly condensed in the air.
Many Yao Race Cultivators were terrified and uneasy, their gazes fixed on the mid-air.
"Master, that person is so arrogant!"
Xiao Jin's eyes flashed with the light of battle, and he stood in front of Li Mu.
"It's fine! He's not coming for us!" Li Mu smiled slightly, his gaze also looking towards the Demon Emperor who had suddenly appeared above them. His Aura was quite outstanding.
In the air, a Demon Emperor, clad in silver-white armor and wearing an ice-cold crown, stepped through the Void Realm. He was surrounded by biting cold winds, and with every step he took, the Void Realm beneath his feet seemed to freeze, forming crystalline ice shards that shimmered with cold light and slowly drifted down.
His face was stern, his eyes like deep ice caves, revealing an unquestionable majesty and dominance. His long hair, like silver threads, floated, resembling a walking iceberg. Wherever he passed, even the air seemed to solidify, leaving trails of white mist, accentuating his extraordinary figure.
Upon seeing this, the Yao Race Cultivators knelt down, their faces filled with awe, not daring to look directly at the majesty of this Ice Demon Emperor. Their bodies trembled as if in a cold wind, as if even their Souls were intimidated by this powerful pressure, unable to move.
"Greetings, Your Highness Demon Emperor!"
...
The vast majority of the Yao Race Cultivators knelt down to pay their respects, while some Yao Race Cultivators belonging to other factions stood like Li Mu, offering a respectful gaze.
The entire Wood Flower Street became exceptionally quiet at this moment, with only the sound of the Ice Demon Emperor stepping through the Void Realm, the whistling cold wind, and his cold, deep gaze sweeping over everything below.
The Ice Demon Emperor saw the Seven-rank True Spirit Green-Eyed Golden Ape - Xiao Jin and surprisingly glanced at him, but it seemed he had other important matters at hand. After a brief thought, he turned and left directly.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin couldn't help but withdraw his fighting stance, his eyes flashing with awe and curiosity, following closely beside Li Mu, feeling the oppressive force from the Demon Emperor.
However, the Demon Emperor paid no heed to them. His figure flickered, and in a blink, he entered the hidden space within the giant tree, disappearing without a trace.
At this moment, beneath the ancient tree of ten thousand Years, in a special space, the Ice Demon Emperor, who had just entered, was led by an elderly Yao Race Cultivator into a colossal palace.
Beneath the ancient tree of ten thousand Years, there was an extremely vast space. Although there was no sunlight here, there were many third-rank fluorescent flying insects.
They emitted a scorching bright light and warm temperature. All around were numerous green plants, and there were even mountains and water, giving a feeling of a human paradise.
There were many Flower Yao here. These Flower Yao collected dew or played in the flower bushes, appearing to be detached from the world.
But when the Ice Demon Emperor stepped through the Void Realm,
The surrounding ice Qi caused these Flower Yao to turn pale with fright. Wherever he passed, the surrounding cold Qi directly froze many areas into ice sculptures.
The old man in green robes beside him did not say a word about this and quickly led the Ice Demon Emperor to the largest flower ahead.
The purple flower was like a peony, but it was a hundred meters wide, with colorful branches and leaves. Above it was a lake formed by petals, and in the center of the lake, a beautiful woman in a fiery red long dress lay diagonally, immersed in the water.
Many Flower Yao around threw the collected nectar into the lake, but the arrival of the Ice Venerable made these Flower Yao turn pale with fright and retreat to the side.
"Your Highness, the Ice Demon Emperor has arrived!"
The old man in green robes respectfully squatted, carefully looking at the beautiful woman in the lake.
Hearing this, the woman in the lake opened her Phoenix eyes, her body slowly floated up, and her wet clothes instantly evaporated into mist, pure and spotless.
Behind her, two Tree Yao embraced each other, floating in the air, their branches entwined to form a Void Realm throne. (End of Chapter)
