Chapter 793 - 421: Nether Water Sea Region
The Five Elements Spirit Sword is a Tier Seven Daoist Soldier, and Li Mu only has Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation cultivation, unable to fully exert its power. However, with this sword’s support and a large number of Tier Six Puppets, the journey to the Water Mansion Secret Realm within the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region should be secure.
With this assurance in mind, Li Mu did not delay further, took several Beast Taming creatures, and set off for the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region. First, he used the sect’s Teleportation Array, swiftly arriving at the Celestial Profound Sword Sect’s base in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region.
Emerging from the Teleportation Array at Celestial Spirit Island, a salty breeze from the sea enveloped him, Li Mu didn’t linger much. With the respectful send-off from several Sword Sect disciples, he summoned the Earth Element Spirit Ship and, along with the beasts, sped towards the sea region of the Water Mansion Secret Realm.
Celestial Spirit Island, the grand hall of the Celestial Profound Sword Sect base.
A Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator hurried to the grand hall and reported to Guardian Elder Fang Yunjian about Li Mu’s arrival at the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region via the Teleportation Array.
Upon hearing the news, Fang Yunjian furrowed his brow, muttering to himself: "Elder Li has come to the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region again, what is he up to this time!"
Li Mu’s identity is quite special; he’s a significant nuisance to Nine Demons Sect and the Master of Blood Demons - Dana. Last time, his appearance led to the massacre of all cultivators on Ten Thousand Stars Island. Though the Blood Demon Lord - Dana is dead, other forces within the Demon Abyss still hold strong hostility towards Li Mu.
Li Mu’s appearance in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region this time is likely to cause significant turmoil,
"Increase patrol personnel and strengthen surveillance." Fang Yunjian pondered briefly, instructed the Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator: "Immediately send communications to nearby disciples, have them closely monitor Elder Li’s movements. Report any anomaly to me at once."
"Yes!"
The Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator readily accepted the order and hurried away.
Fang Yunjian then paced the hall, contemplating various potential scenarios.
Several days later, the Earth Element Spirit Ship appeared in an unfamiliar sea region.
At that moment, ’Li Mu’ stood at the ship’s bow, gazing at the beautiful scene of the sky and sea meeting afar. The sea breeze lightly fluttered his robe, giving him an ethereal and Daoist demeanor. Beside him, the Cyan Moon True Dragon extended its Divine Thought, holding a Jade Token, quietly sensing something.
Dim lights flowed on the Jade Token, forming a subtle connection with a certain place within the Water Mansion Secret Realm.
Under the guidance of the Cyan Moon True Dragon, the Earth Element Spirit Ship sped through the air, swiftly reaching the sea region where the Water Mansion Secret Realm was located.
"Master, it’s right ahead!" The Cyan Moon True Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, signaling to ’Li Mu’.
’Li Mu’ nodded, and with a wave, the Earth Element Spirit Ship’s speed abruptly reduced, he then stored it away, leaping into the sea with the Cyan Moon True Dragon.
Meanwhile, afar at Celestial Spirit Island, Fang Yunjian received messages from disciples, learning that Li Mu had already ventured deep into the Nether Water Sea Region, seemingly searching for something crucial.
This intelligence involuntarily furrowed Fang Yunjian’s brow. The Nether Water Sea Region is tens of thousands of miles from Celestial Spirit Island, a sea region beyond Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s jurisdiction. The environment there is harsh, filled with Sea Monsters and Demon Birds, banned restrictions are everywhere, more importantly, the Demon Abyssal forces seem to hide there and are difficult to eradicate, why has Elder Li come to this place?
Given Li Mu’s cautious nature, he shouldn’t risk danger easily, yet the current situation is somewhat surprising, forcing Fang Yunjian to consider more possibilities, hesitating on whether to inform Sword Master Feng Jian, allowing him to intervene and rescue Elder Li promptly.
"Can we contact Elder Li now?" Fang Yunjian asked the reporting Divinity Transformation Disciple, his tone heavy.
"Elder Li has already entered deep into the Nether Water Sea Region, our Communication Talisman probably cannot penetrate the restrictions there, we attempted to communicate through the Disciple Token but received no response from Elder Li, seemingly our communication was blocked." The Divinity Transformation Disciple responded respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yunjian’s brow tightened, feeling a vague unease. The Nether Water Sea Region is a place where the Demon Abyssal forces frequently operate in shadows, posing an immense threat to Li Mu.
Why has Elder Li ventured alone into such a perilous place? What is attracting him that warrants such risk?
"Continue closely monitoring Elder Li’s movements, the instant any trace or anomaly is discovered, report to me immediately." Fang Yunjian instructed the Divinity Transformation Disciple with a serious tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yunjian’s figure vanished like a phantom from the grand hall, deciding to inform Sword Master Feng Jian of this critical situation, given that Elder Li’s life is involved, Sword Master Feng Jian holds him in high regard.
Soon after, Fang Yunjian stood before Sword Master Feng Jian’s seclusion cave, took a deep breath to calm his excitement, and then gently knocked on the thick stone door.
Moments later, the stone door slowly opened with a rumble, revealing Sword Master Feng Jian’s deep and dignified face; his eyes sparkled like stars, his Sword Intent imposing. Being disturbed during his seclusion made him quite displeased, with an imposing demeanor that commanded fear.
"Yunjian, what brings you here?" Sword Master Feng Jian eyed Fang Yunjian, questioning in a deep voice.
Fang Yunjian dared not delay and quickly detailed Li Mu’s venture into the Nether Water Sea Region to Sword Master Feng Jian.
After listening, a hint of intrigue flashed in Sword Master Feng Jian’s eyes as he fell into contemplation, recalling the previous abnormal obsession Blood Demon Lord - Dana showed towards Li Mu, even leveraging forces to attack Ten Thousand Stars Island just to capture him. Now with Blood Demon Lord - Dana dead, Li Mu reappearing in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region surely conceals a mystery unknown to others.
