Lin Maoshan stood respectfully to the side, waiting, when suddenly the ground shook violently.
The next moment, the Three Shishu were submerged by a cloud of yellow sand, their figures vanishing instantly.
Lin Maoshan stood rooted to the spot, terrified and at a loss.
Currently, this mysterious space was filled with dense Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi, surrounded by the remains of high-level Cultivators, and the ground was cracked, clearly having just experienced a terrifying battle.
The disappearance of the Three Shishu left Lin Maoshan, a mere Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, without a leader.
Lin Maoshan summoned a spirit sword from his storage ring; its tip trembled slightly, as if echoing his inner unease, and he looked around, his eyes filled with vigilance and doubt.
“Where is this place?! What exactly is going on?”
Lin Maoshan muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty space, but no one responded.
Lin Maoshan looked at the emerald green spiritual pearl floating before him, emitting a mysterious spiritual light.
The Three Shishu had attached great importance to it, so it must have an extraordinary origin.
Just then, a strong wind howled, stirring up the yellow sand, and a huge vortex appeared in the sky, as if the entire space was about to collapse.
Lin Maoshan was startled and instinctively reached out to grab the emerald green spiritual pearl, gripping his spirit sword tightly, ready to face the unknown danger.
The next moment, when the wind stopped and the sand settled, Lin Maoshan was surprised to find himself standing in a completely new environment, no longer the space filled with yellow sand and Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi, but a tranquil and mysterious island.
Within the ancient forest, ancient trees towered into the sky, their branches and leaves lush, sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, forming dappled light and shadow.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of plants, and the dense Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi made one feel refreshed.
Lin Maoshan took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.
He looked around, hoping to find clues about the disappearance of the Three Shishu, carefully observing the surrounding trees, exotic flowers, and strange plants, trying to discover any abnormalities.
However, this ancient forest was like a giant maze; although the sunlight was dappled, the shadows in the forest were like dark tentacles, ready to swallow everything at any moment.
Lin Maoshan’s mood was somewhat heavy; the entire island was incredibly silent, completely devoid of human presence, and filled with powerful aura everywhere.
It was clearly a terrifying place with powerful Restrictions, so Lin Maoshan dared not move recklessly.
He simply sat down cross-legged and began to Cultivate quietly.
Since the Three Shishu valued that emerald green spiritual pearl so much, they would surely find a way to look for him.
Moreover, his sudden summoning here should have been his Master’s doing, and Lin Maoshan believed that with his Master’s ability, he would surely find a way to locate him.
Thus, Lin Maoshan closed his eyes and focused intently on Cultivating, his mind completely immersed in the Cultivation of the Five Elements Treasure Tome.
After an unknown period, the emerald green spiritual pearl in Lin Maoshan’s embrace suddenly emerged, emitting spiritual light.
A flash of spiritual light passed, and then, with a “whoosh,” a young man in a green robe appeared out of thin air.
Lin Maoshan sensed something, opened his eyes, and looked closely, realizing it was none other than his Master, Li Mu.
“Disciple, greets Master!” Lin Maoshan quickly stood up and respectfully bowed.
Li Mu nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, his gaze sweeping over Lin Maoshan, seemingly evaluating Lin Maoshan’s growth and changes during this period.
“Well done!” Li Mu’s voice was calm and strong, revealing an unquestionable authority, and he praised Lin Maoshan: “You were able to persist in Cultivating in this Restricted area; your Heart-Nature is good.”
Lin Maoshan’s heart rejoiced; Li Mu’s praise was a great encouragement to him.
He humbly replied: “Master, you flatter me; Disciple merely did his duty.”
Li Mu smiled and waved his hand, then turned to survey the surrounding environment, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
The surroundings were filled with powerful Formation Restrictions; this place was the extreme realm of Lingxu Blessed Island, and he had finally found the place.
Li Mu’s face revealed an undisguised smile.
“Master, the Three Shishu disappeared out of thin air for some unknown reason; I don’t know where they went,” Lin Maoshan reported respectfully to Li Mu.
Li Mu glanced at the golden talisman on his arm, which had now dimmed, and immediately understood the reason.
With the death of the Undying Demon Lord, this Legacy competition had also ended.
It was a pity that he had been focused on battling the Undying Demon Lord, missing the second round of the Legacy competition.
Xue'er, Xiaowa, and the other three should have been summoned for the second round of the Legacy competition.
“Don’t worry, they’re fine; they’ll be back in a while.” Li Mu smiled slightly, looked at the Painting World Treasure Mansion, and reached out to put it away, then looked at Lin Maoshan and said: “This is not a place for you to stay.
Go back and Cultivate diligently, and strive to form your Golden Core as soon as possible!”
Lin Maoshan was slightly stunned, not understanding his meaning, and could only respectfully obey: “Disciple obeys!”
Li Mu smiled slightly, his Divine Sense enveloping Lin Maoshan.
The next moment, his figure flickered and instantly vanished.
Lin Maoshan opened his eyes and woke up, finding himself back in his original Spiritual Mountain Immortal Cave.
At this moment, he suddenly understood; how could he not realize that he had been Cultivating within his Master’s Immortal Cave Magic Treasure all along?
Lin Maoshan couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
This experience, for him, was both an unprecedented experience and a spiritual baptism.
He felt his Master Li Mu’s unfathomable Cultivation and incredibly broad mind, which further strengthened his determination to Cultivate.
Li Mu was somewhat disappointed that he could not obtain the Dao Lord Legacy, but he did not mind.
With the Heavenly Talent of Plant Spirit Absorption, achieving Dao Lord was only a matter of time.
Li Mu released his Divine Sense and began to explore Lingxu Blessed Land, checking the Sealed Restrictions and searching for high-level spiritual items on the island.
Just then, two figures, one white and one red, appeared one after another beside Li Mu; they were none other than Xue'er and Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix.
“Li Dage!”
“Master!”
Xue'er’s voice was filled with anxiety.
She quickly ran to Li Mu’s side, her gaze carefully examining his slightly pale face, wanting to confirm if he was alright.
Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix flew to Li Mu’s side in surprise, confirmed his condition, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine! The Undying Demon Lord has been dealt with by me!” Li Mu held Xue'er’s hand and comforted her with a smile.
“Oh, where’s Xiaowa?”
Li Mu looked at Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix and asked curiously.
“We were summoned for the second round of Legacy trials, which was a Heart-Nature trial.
I wasn’t suitable for this Legacy, so I withdrew!” Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix quickly replied.
“Me too!” Xue'er interjected, replying: “Xiaowa is extremely suitable for this Legacy.
He hasn’t come out yet, so he must be accepting this trial.”
“Then don’t worry about him! This place is an extreme realm and contains many high-level spiritual items.
You two can look around and see if there’s anything that can help you,” Li Mu said with a smile, his gaze sweeping around.
Xue'er shook her head, holding Li Mu’s hand, unwilling to leave him, while Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix tactfully flew towards a high-level spiritual plant to search for Spirit Medicine.
Li Mu smiled slightly and explored Lingxu Blessed Island hand in hand with Xue'er.
Soon after, Li Mu stopped in front of a Restriction, his gaze drawn to a strange substance shimmering with a faint, ethereal light.
Upon closer inspection, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was a large pile of rare nine void spiritual soil.
They were gathered in clusters, suspended in the air, piled up like small mountains, shimmering with captivating spiritual light.
nine void spiritual soil was a rare item in the world; a small cluster was worth a lot.
However, in the extreme realm, it gathered in piles like small mountains, emitting rich Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi and vitality.

These spiritual plants each occupied a cluster of nine void spiritual soil, their leaves verdant and dripping, their flowers vibrant and delicate, their branches and leaves lush, all emitting powerful medicinal properties and alluring fragrances.
These high-level spiritual plants thrived under the nourishment of the nine void spiritual soil, imbuing the nine void spiritual soil with even stronger vitality.
Under the Talent Divine Power - Identify Myriad Spirits, their attributes appeared one by one before Li Mu’s eyes.

These rare, ten-thousand-year-old seventh-tier spiritual plants, each one like a treasure of the world, their existence not only represented the accumulation of Years but also symbolized the purest and most powerful life force between heaven and earth.
His gaze moved back and forth among these spiritual plants, already able to feel the rich medicinal fragrance they emitted.
Li Mu’s eyes glowed, unable to suppress the joy in his heart.
medicine king spirit ginseng could further enhance spirituality when consumed raw, nine void spiritual mushroom could be used to refine top-grade Returning Void Pill, and the medicinal power of other Spirit Medicine was also extremely outstanding, serving as primary ingredients for many high-level Spirit Pill.
From now on, he wouldn’t have to worry about the main ingredients for refining high-level Spirit Pill.
“So many high-level Spirit Medicine! This place truly lives up to its name as an extreme realm!” Xue'er’s eyes sparkled, her vision captivated by the dense high-level spiritual plants before her, and she couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“Compared to these Spirit Medicine, the value of that pile of nine void spiritual soil is also extraordinary!
If spiritual plants can be planted here, not only will their growth rate double, but there will also be no need to water them with other auxiliary spiritual items for growth,” Li Mu said with undisguised joy.
A treasure land composed of piles of nine void spiritual soil was rare and must be utilized well to maximize its value.
Li Mu quietly formed a plan for planting spiritual plants in the extreme realm in his heart, deciding to make a big splash on this patch of nine void spiritual soil.
Action was better than inaction; Li Mu no longer hesitated, quickly took out exquisite jade boxes from his storage ring, preparing to collect all the high-level spiritual plants growing in the nine void spiritual soil.
Stepping into the nine void spiritual soil, each high-level spiritual plant emitted a unique fragrance, showcasing their extraordinary quality.
Li Mu sensed the pulsation of the spiritual plants, his technique skillful and precise, plucking them one by one and placing them into the jade boxes.
However, some of the Spirit Medicine that had already transformed into spirits felt Li Mu’s threat and tried to resist, emitting strong fluctuations, attempting to break free from their bonds.
However, Li Mu was already prepared; his powerful Divine Sense enveloped them, suppressing the resisting Spirit Medicine one by one.
His Divine Sense was like invisible chains, tightly binding these Spirit Medicine, preventing them from moving.
Thousands of high-level spiritual plants were all collected by Li Mu, making up for the huge losses of the Painting World Treasure Mansion.
He was in a good mood and began to set up the plant protection Formation.
Li Mu summoned nine golden-element spirit swords from the nine storage spiritual pearl, multitasking, and ascended with his sword.
Using the sword as a brush and the dense Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi as ink, he meticulously drew complex Formation patterns around the nine void spiritual soil.
Dense Formation patterns submerged into the earth, shimmering with strong spiritual light, and the Formation power intertwined, forming a vast protective Formation.
The extreme realm was filled with powerful Sealed Restrictions, which contained powerful Formation power.
However, Li Mu was not afraid.
Relying on his powerful Formation power and extraordinary wisdom, he arranged the composite protective Formation around the nine void spiritual soil one by one.
This grand Formation could not only effectively defend against external intrusions and damage but also provide sufficient Spiritual Qi and nutrients for the spiritual plants, ensuring their vigorous growth.
Xue'er stood aside, silently watching Li Mu’s busy back, her eyes filled with admiration.
Just as Li Mu was busy, deep within Lingxu Blessed Land, a black giant lizard, deep in slumber, seemed to be enduring immense pain, as massive Earth Elemental Spiritual Qi gathered towards it. (End of this chapter)
