Chapter 488 The Measure of Immortals


“Me? I am the unknown master you said you can easily take out.” Li Mu settled himself in the chair behind the desk as if he were at his own home. Then, he said, “Mount Maiji? Within Tianshui Region? I’ve never heard of something like the Flowing Cloud Temple. Turns out that you’re the mastermind behind the plot against Uncle Zheng’s daughter. You are a monk, but you are not free of human desires. You don’t look like a decent man to me.”


As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the Taoist.


Taoist Lu felt that his Dantian was shaking, and then weariness swept all over his body, as though all his strength had been sucked away. His face suddenly turned pale as he exclaimed, “My Dantian, my natural qi… You, you actually destroyed my natural qi! You…”


“Natural qi? You’re really brazen. What you had is just unrefined internal force.” Li Mu said, “You should be grateful that you can get out of this alive today. As I just got back, I don’t feel like killing people. Anyway, what’s that Qinling Heaven you just mentioned?”


Taoist Lu’s young face no longer showed that previous obedience. Instead, it was now full of resentment and viciousness. The natural qi in his Dantian had been destroyed. Thus, it could be said that all the hard work he had done in the past few years had been ruined, and his promising future had vanished, too.


He stared at Li Mu, ground his teeth, and hissed, “I will never forget your generosity, senior. When I get back to the Flowing Cloud Temple, I will definitely…”


“Moron! You don’t know what’s good for you.” Li Mu raised his hand and slapped the air. With a loud snap, a red palm print suddenly appeared on Taoist Lu’s face. He directly flew to the air and hit the wall. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Taoist lost his consciousness.


“How dare he try to threaten me with the Flowing Cloud Temple?”


Li Mu did not fear him at all.


“You tell me, what’s the matter with the Qinling Heaven?” Li Mu demanded as he looked at Yan Dinghu.


By this time, Yan Dinghu had been completely scared out of his wits.


Taoist Lu, who was like a little immortal in his eyes, was utterly vulnerable in front of Li Mu. At this time, he suddenly realized that what Longteng Company had kicked this time was not an iron plate, but a super t.i.tanium alloy one!


“Sure, sure, my little G.o.d. It’s said that recently in Qinling, it sometimes snows in June, and sometimes a 1000-year-old iron tree blooms overnight. Also, the sound of the phoenix is constantly heard. Those are signs that a blessed Heaven there is opening. Two months ago, people in Wulin have noticed the signs of the opening…” Stammered Yan Dinghu, who was completely panicked at the time. He continued incoherently, “Many people believe that there is a Heaven about to open in Qinling.”


“Wait a minute. Do you mean that the Heavens on Earth have been opened before?” Li Mu frowned.


When he was surfing the Internet at the Internet bar before, he didn’t find any information about that at all.


Yan Dinghu was stunned for a moment. “Senior, you don’t know? Oh, of course, I shouldn’t have been surprised. You are a super mundane master. You may have been living in seclusion before, so you hadn’t paid much attention to the world. In the past, there are secret realms and blessed Heavens in different sizes all over the world. In China, for example, Mount Wuyi Heaven, Mount Elephant Heaven have opened before. More than half of the experts in today’s martial arts world, such as the Three Sages, the Four G.o.ds, and the Eight Lords, have entered the Heavens. That is how they got such horrible cultivation…”


He rambled on and on, but obviously, he was only an outer member. His knowledge was limited, and all he knew was just sc.r.a.ps of information, which was rather confusing and incomplete.


“Some people said that the reason why there are more and more martial arts people with special skills in the past couple of years was that the ancient Heavens were opened and the Divine Qi in it was released and acquired by those people…” In a panic, Yan Dinghu told Li Mu everything without reserve.


After listening to his words, Li Mu had a general idea of what was going on.


“A blessed Heaven is opening?”


“Why does it sound like the seal of a small world has been lifted?”


But when Li Mu asked a few more questions, such as what was in the Heaven, and what kind of opportunity it might provide, Yan Dinghu gave no answer. After all, Yan Dinghu had never had a chance to enter one.


“When Mount Wuyi Heaven and Mount Elephant Heaven opened, because their opening came quite abruptly, the countries did not have time to react. Many martial arts cultivators and lucky people got into the Heavens by chance and obtained precious blessings. But now, as the countries on Earth begin to pay attention to the openings, the governments will take control of the blessed place every time a new Heaven opens. And only a limited number of cultivators can enter it. This time, a lot of strange signs have appeared in Qinling, which seem to be heralding the opening of a big Heaven. Qinling is a famous mountain in China. People have summed up some rules about this before. They say the more famous place is, the more likely that a Heaven will open. Thus, the signs in Qinling have attracted huge attention…”


When Yan Dinghu saw Li Mu’s disappointed expression, he quickly racked his brain to add more a.n.a.lysis lest he was already useless to Li Mu.


Li Mu nodded.


“That makes sense.”


In China, everything belonged to the country.


No matter how powerful people in the martial arts society were, they were nothing compared to the government. They could not bend the country’s will unless they were like the immortals who really could fly and move mountains.


Li Mu felt it necessary to investigate the blessed Heavens.


He happened to be in Baoji City, which was right at the foot of Qinling. Li Mu thought he might as well go back and ask the old faker first. That old thing must know something.


“Why did the Taoist of Mount Maiji send you to kidnap Zheng Xiu’er for him?” Li Mu asked again.


Yan Dinghu hurriedly answered, “I heard that the opening of some Heavens needs sacrifices. Taoist Lu… uh, no, this fraud said that the girl named Zheng Xiu’er has a special birth date and time, and her blood can serve as the sacrifice to open the Heaven. The Flowing Cloud Temple wants to enter the Qinling Heaven, so they need to catch her…” Yan Dinghu confessed without holding back anything.


At that, Li Mu started fuming.


To open a Heaven with human blood was clearly an act of dark art.


It seemed that the Taoists in the Flowing Cloud Temple in Mount Maiji were not good men either. Li Mu saw the need to take a trip to that temple and blast that place to get rid of those scourges completely.


Li Mu took another careful look at Taoist Lu, who was still unconscious. The auras of death and resentment on his body were flowing at the same time. It was obvious that he had killed many people with his own hands and was definitely not an upright man. Li Mu intended to keep him alive before, but now…


Li Mu changed his mind.


With a flick of his finger, a spark darted out and fell on Taoist Lu. A loud bang sounded, and the fire burst out. The next moment, Taoist Lu was burned to ashes, leaving not even a trace of ash.


This kind of measure was beyond the scope of martial arts. It was Taoist magic or Immortal power. Li Mu’s power was almost as incredible as an immortal’s.


The sight of that caused the faces of Yan Dinghu and the other three King Kongs to turn sallow and their legs to tremble.


A living person had been burned to ashes in an instant! That measure could kill people without making a scene. And it was certainly the perfect way to destroy their bodies and hide the crime. Even the cleverest detectives could not spot any trace of the crime.


“You are not any good guys either.” Li Mu shot a look at them, his heart filled with killing intent.


Tie Jun, Zhang Youfa, and the other King Kong only felt a wave of unparalleled horror enveloping them. Then, the cracking sound of bones came from their bodies. In an instant, their cultivation of martial arts was all emptied. Before they even had time to react, they collapsed on the ground, screaming miserably.


Since then, they would be disabled. Perhaps they could no longer live a normal life like ordinary people.


Li Mu flickered another look at Yan Dinghu and directly planted the Great Horror Curse in his body, which directly affected his spirit.


Yan Dinghu fainted straight away.


Li Mu then got up and went to the window, looking at the night outside. The office building of Longteng Company, which was more than 20 floors, was the highest building in the whole Jade Gate City, from which one could overlook the most beautiful night view within the city.


The night view of modern civilization was so familiar and memorable.


“Seems that some interesting changes have taken place on Earth. I’d better go and ask the old faker first. He should know some inside story.”


Li Mu muttered to himself.


Next, an unforgettable scene that made the three King Kongs’ jaws drop occurred.


Around Li Mu, a flying broadsword zoomed out of the window. It remained airborne and grew larger and larger until it was the size of a small boat, which floated in the air by the window of the 20th floor. Then, in a flash, Li Mu jumped onto the flying broadsword, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the night.


“Imm-immortal?”


The three of them were so scared that they fainted at once.


“There are really immortals in this world?”


···


···


Riding on the broadsword, Li Mu flew across the dark sky.


The distance from Jade Gate City to Baoji City was about 1,300 kilometers. If it was in the Divine Land, with the speed Li Mu’s Broadsword-commanding Skill allowed, he could cross the distance in just a few seconds. However, on the Earth lacking Spiritual Qi, the natural qi in his body would decline every time he consumed it. Li Mu did not want to waste too much natural qi, so he flew at the lowest speed.


Two whole hours later, Li Mu was flying above a city with dazzling lights. He lowered his head and focused his vision. Through the haze, he took a closer look and found that it was Lanzhou City.


“Hmm? That’s not right. Though I’ve lowered the speed, I should have arrived in Baoji after two hours’ flight. How come I only got to Lanzhou?”


Li Mu was taken aback.


He rode on the broadsword and moved forward again. About an hour later, he was above Tianshui City.


“No, no, no, this is not right. I even speeded up a little bit, but I’ve just arrived at Tianshui. Under normal circ.u.mstances, shouldn’t I have gone beyond Baoji already?”


Li Mu couldn’t believe what he had experienced.


The distance from Tianshui to Baoji was about 200 kilometers. Along the way stretched mountains, flouris.h.i.+ng trees, and rolling hills. It was already the peripheral area of the Qinling Mountains. Li Mu’s spiritual force could fan out and cover the place within 300 miles. Now, standing in the sky above Tianshui City, Li Mu should have been able to sense the existence of Baoji City.


But for some reason, when Li Mu did cast his spiritual force around, he did not detect any trace of Baoji City within the range of his spiritual force.


This was really weird.


Li Mu became suspicious.


About an hour later, Li Mu finally arrived at the sky above Baoji City.


As always, a man could be anxious when he was close to his hometown. After five years, when Li Mu returned to Baoji City, he actually felt a little nervous.


He landed on a tableland in the north of the high-tech district and looked up in the night. The Randengsi Village was shrouded in the darkness. It was quiet. Occasionally, a dog barked. Everything seemed to have returned to five years ago. That place did not seem to have changed a bit.


The village was basically the same as he remembered.


Li Mu strolled along the country path and finally came to the gate of the ancient Randeng Temple.


His heart began to beat really fast.


Finally, he was about to see the old faker. All those questions that had troubled him for a long time could finally be answered.
