Chapter 827 - 437: Dual Preparations (Part 2)
Li Mu nodded his head and released his Divine Sense, carefully scanning the strength and restriction conditions of the array patterns in the Sealing Array.
After a thorough inspection, Li Mu could confirm one thing; although this Sealing Array had endured tens of thousands of years, it was located on the seabed, where energy was inexhaustible, drawing fully from the Power of Water, making the array’s integrity and status far better than the other two Sealing Arrays, requiring almost no repairs.
Li Mu opened his eyes and, looking toward the Spirit Plants growing near the dwelling cave, saw a sprawling "Underwater Forest" filled with various High-tier Spirit Plants, each with extremely old medicinal age, spanning thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, the attributes of various High-tier aquatic Spirit Plants appeared one after another.

...
Everywhere his gaze passed, various high-tier Water Spirit Plants attributes manifested continuously before Li Mu’s eyes, greatly broadening his horizons, making him dazzled.
"Elder Li, how is the condition of the array?"
Sword Master Feng slightly furrowed his brows, watching Li Mu and asking concernedly. Although he was not proficient in arrays, as an Integration Realm Powerhouse, he could ascertain that this secret realm’s state was excellent, with great potency in restrictions; if he dared to rush inside, he would likely perish.
"Reporting to Sword Master, due to the abundant water essence here, the array possesses self-repairing capabilities, and the situation is excellent, unbreached; no additional repairs needed." Li Mu looked at Sword Master Feng and replied with clasped hands.
"That’s good." Sword Master Feng nodded, feeling relieved.
"Hmm, if there’s nothing else, let’s leave!" Sword Master Chen suggested while looking at Sword Master Feng and Li Mu.
"Please wait a moment, Sword Master Chen." Li Mu suddenly interjected, halting Sword Master Chen’s proposal, his brow slightly furrowed as if pondering something.
"Hmm? Elder Li, are you waiting to gather some Spirit Medicine?" Sword Master Chen furrowed his brows and glanced at the abundant high-tier Spirit Plants.
"No, not at all. I can come back for this later; I wouldn’t dare let Sword Master Chen wait." Li Mu hurriedly denied, frankly speaking to the two Sword Masters, "Are the two Sword Masters planning to set out immediately to assault the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm after leaving the Water Mansion Secret Realm?"
"Indeed, the army has been ready for some time now; had we not waited for you to inspect this secret realm, we would have set out earlier!" Sword Master Chen nodded happily, puzzledly responding to Li Mu.
"That’s true; Elder Li, do you have any questions?" Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu, a trace of hesitation flashing on his face, concern in his voice.
Li Mu took a deep breath, his expression firm as he said, "Sword Masters, I have a favor to ask. In this assault on the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm, if you fail to find Bu Mie Demon Lord at the Demon Cave hideout, I implore you both to promptly return to Central Continent Spirit Realm!"
"Why? Do you have a lead on Bu Mie Demon Lord? Is he in Central Continent Spirit Realm?" Sword Master Feng looked at Li Mu in surprise, unsure why he made such a request.
"Elder Li, if there are any circumstances, please explain clearly!" Sword Master Chen had a heavy expression, taking Li Mu’s proposal very seriously.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu smiled wryly and quickly explained, "I have no clues about Bu Mie Demon Lord’s whereabouts, hence my proposal. After being heavily wounded by the two Sword Masters during his plot at Nether Water Secret Realm, he may retreat to Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm or plot another Sealed Land, hence my suggestion."
"Another Sealed Land! Elder Li is referring to the Cangyuan Secret Realm jointly overseen by the Eight Great Clans!" Sword Master Feng was stirred, asking Li Mu with concern.
Sword Master Chen seriously considered Li Mu’s words, his brow tightly furrowed, a flicker of caution in his eyes, having to concede, there is some possibility in this situation.
Considering Bu Mie Demon Lord’s tactics and harshness, there is a high possibility he might abandon holding the Demon Abyssal Forces in Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm and secretly sabotage another Sealed Land. If he succeeds in destroying another Sealed Land, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yes, under the pressure from the two Sword Masters, the Eight Great Clans agreed to grant me access to the Cangyuan Secret Realm; however, I vaguely feel uneasy and dare not proceed alone. Should the two Sword Masters not discover Bu Mie Demon Lord in Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm, I hope you return promptly." Li Mu proposed, looking at Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen.
"Elder Li’s concerns aren’t unfounded." Sword Master Chen nodded, seriously speaking to Sword Master Feng, "We must prepare for both paths. On one hand, launch a full assault on the Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm to ensure we wipe out the Demon Abyssal Forces; on the other, closely watch Bu Mie Demon Lord’s movements to ensure the safety of another Sealing Array."
"Indeed, with the Eight Great Clans jointly guarding one secret realm, many people talk, it is highly likely that information could be leaked, or Bu Mie Demon Lord could easily infiltrate, we must be vigilant." Li Mu stated solemnly, looking at the two Sword Masters.
"We understand. You mustn’t enter Cangyuan Secret Realm; wait for our news." Sword Master Feng nodded, watching Li Mu, providing sure instructions.
"Yes!" Li Mu readily agreed, not intending to act rashly after his last deduction of the danger inherent in this matter, instead opting to await the return of the two Sword Masters.
With discussions concluded, Li Mu set up a small Teleportation Array inside the cave, leaving together with the two Sword Masters out of the Water Mansion Secret Realm, appearing at the Ancient Teleportation Array on Celestial Star Island.
Li Mu boarded the Ancient Teleportation Array, his silhouette flickering, returning to Central Continent Spirit Realm, appearing at Sword Peak of Profound Celestial Sword Sect. Then, he unleashed a Gold Element Spirit Sword, ascending into the sky, transforming into a golden rainbow, racing toward the depths of the Sect’s Contribution Hall.
In the distant Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng stood shoulder to shoulder, controlling swords at great speed, behind them the mighty Central State Fleet, warships densely packed and powerfully advancing, with the strong Central State Fleet brimming with momentum, directly heading for Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm to prepare to purge the Demon Abyssal Forces occupying the entire Southern Wilderness Spirit Realm.
Meanwhile, within Central Continent Spirit Realm, the Ji Family of the Eight Great Clans, ’Ji Wuheng’ successfully infiltrated the Elder Assembly Hall of the Ji Family, regarding the ranking of the Eight Great Clans’ commissioned Daoist Soldier crafting, they had already laid out the sequence.
And at the other end of Central Continent Spirit Realm within the Ji Family, an important assembly was underway.
In the Elder Assembly Hall of the Ji Family, the atmosphere was solemn, the order to commission Daoist Soldier crafting had been finalized through competitive duels, and after an intense disciple tournament, the Ji Family ranked fourth in securing the eligibility for Daoist Soldier crafting.
In the assembly hall, the Elders were eagerly discussing the commission of Daoist Soldier crafting.
Upon learning of this news, ’Ji Wuheng’ lowered his head, a glint of Demon Qi flashing in his eyes, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, and continued listening to the conference’s content.
At this moment, ’Ji Wuheng’ wished he could use this opportunity of commissioned Daoist Soldier crafting to approach Li Mu and clear him completely.
