Looking at the attributes of the two piles of Dragon scales and Dragon bones, Li Mu's eyes were hazy, as if an old gourmand facing a table of delicacies, both amazed and drooling.
These Heavenly Flame Dragon Scales and Heavenly Flame Dragon Bones, tempered by Heavenly Fire and completely free of demonic nature, were top-grade Spirit Materials for refining defensive Dao Artifacts and bone-based Dao Weapons.
With so many Dragon scales and Dragon bones, if he was a bit frugal, refining a dozen sets of Dao Artifacts would be no problem.
Tsk tsk tsk!
When could defensive Dao Armor and Dao Weapons be refined in sets and in batches!
Li Mu's eyes sparkled with excitement, his Divine Sense operating at full capacity, contemplating how to utilize these precious Materials, what kind of Artifact Formations to equip, and how to condense Artifact Runes to refine the most suitable sets of Dao Artifacts.
“Chirp, chirp!”
The Three-Colored Heavenly Fire Refining Furnace disintegrated, and the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire transformed into the Purple-Gold Little Fire Phoenix, landing on Li Mu's shoulder, calling out twice with a somewhat dispirited aura.
The Azure-Blue Flood Dragon and Scarlet Fire Dragon also manifested, their auras similarly unstable, clearly indicating that removing the Dragon scales and Dragon bones from these Demon Dragons had consumed a significant amount of their Origin power.
Seeing this, Li Mu quickly took out four jade boxes from his tianxuan ring, extracting three fire essence dao pills and one wood essence Dao Pill, looking at Qinglong - Qing Lin and the three Heavenly Fire spirits.
“You've all worked hard, take the pills to recover!” Li Mu said with a smile, tossing the four Spirit Pills to them, gesturing with a smile.
Qing Lin, without hesitation, opened his mouth and swallowed the wood essence Dao Pill.
Immediately, a vibrant aura emanated from his body, the luster of his Azure Dragon scales brightened, and his aura gradually stabilized.
The Little Fire Phoenix formed by the Extreme Yang Heavenly Fire, along with the Azure-Blue Flood Dragon and Scarlet Fire Dragon, also each consumed a fire essence dao pill.
The power of fire essence surged, and their fiery light flashed with even more dazzling brilliance, as if their previous exhaustion had been swept away.
Seeing them fully refining the medicinal power of the Dao Pills, Li Mu waved his hand, collecting the numerous Dragon scales and Dragon bones, to be arranged for Artifact Refining later.
Next, Li Mu manipulated the Breaking Knife, continuing to excavate the remaining valuable parts of the Demon Dragon's body, carefully storing them for future processing.
He then controlled the Painting World Treasure Mansion to bury the remaining flesh and blood, leaving it for the Treasure Mansion Space to digest and absorb… For a time, Li Mu and Mingyue were bustling with activity.
Just as Li Mu was busy dealing with the Demon Dragon's remains and preparing to arrange everything properly, the Sect token tied to his waist suddenly hummed.
A faint light flickered on the token, seemingly indicating that a message had arrived.
Li Mu stopped what he was doing, and with a flash of Divine Thought, he immediately understood the reason.
“Mingyue, you suppress the remaining demonic nature of the Dragon Corpse.
When they wake up, destroy it together.
I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back.” Li Mu gestured to Mingyue, who was controlling the forbidden magic Formation beside him.
“Okay, Master!” Mingyue's small face tightened, and she readily agreed.
Li Mu nodded, and with a flash of his figure, he had already disappeared into the Treasure Mansion Space.
Before long, Li Mu's figure appeared on Sword Asking Peak of Xuantian Sword Sect.
He hurried over on his sword, and with his Divine Sense, the situation inside the Contribution Hall was clear at a glance.
Inside the hall, several high-ranking officials of Xuantian Sword Sect, the Vice Sect Master Xu Wen of Taiyi Sect, the Sect Master Sun Yuankun of Lingxiao Sect, and the Clan Chiefs of the Eight Great Families of Central Continent, were all invited.
Nearly twenty people were present, sitting together with solemn expressions, seemingly discussing something important, evidently planning how to deal with the invasion of Demon Abyss forces and protect the seven extreme Seals.
With Li Mu's arrival, everyone's gaze turned towards the outside of the hall.
“Master Li!”
“Elder Li! You're finally here!”
...
Several high-ranking officials of Xuantian Sword Sect, other Sect Masters, Elders, and the Clan Chiefs of the Eight Great Families all rose, paying their respects and offering greetings to Li Mu.
Although Li Mu's cultivation was weak, seemingly only at the Void Refining Late Stage, his identity was quite noble.
He was an Artifact Refining Great Master capable of refining Dao Artifacts, a Formation Great Master skilled in setting up Formations, and a Cultivator who cultivated all Five Elements.
His strength far surpassed that of ordinary Cultivators, and in Xuantian Sword Sect, he held the position of Grand Elder, his status second only to the several Dao Lords and Sword Masters of Xuantian Sword Sect.
“Greetings to Dao Lord Qi, greetings to Lin Sword Master, Yun Sword Master, and greetings to all Sect Masters and Clan Chiefs!” Li Mu smiled as he entered the hall, nodding to everyone, warmly responding to each one.
“Elder Li, please tell all the Sect Masters and Clan Chiefs the detailed Karma of your demon-slaying mission with Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Chen.” Qi Xuanming looked kindly at Li Mu and instructed him.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu's expression became solemn, he nodded, and slowly walked to the center of the hall, beginning to recount the entire sequence of events of their fierce battle with the three Dao Lords of Demon Abyss forces.
“The situation is as follows: Dao Lord Feng received a warning from the Tianji Pavilion Master that there was a change in the Sealed Land, so he and he quickly inspected several Sealed Lands, and coincidentally…” Li Mu's voice echoed in the hall.
He meticulously narrated the entire process, from discovering the Demon Abyss forces invading the Sealed Land, pursuing the Ghost Race army, the assistance of Chen Daojun and Dao Lord Feng, to the final slaying of two Demon Abyss Dao Lords, and the three Dao Lords' journey to the Nine Nether to investigate the Demon Abyss invading forces' lair.
Li Mu's narration was clear and logical, detailing every aspect of the fierce battlefield shifts and the dangers of the combat, captivating everyone present as if they had personally experienced the thrilling battle.
“Now, the three Dao Lords have gone deep into the Nine Nether to trace the root cause of this Demon Abyss invasion into this realm, to completely cut off their forced entry into this realm.
Additionally, they sent me back to the Sect to handle the follow-up matters and ensure the safety of the Sealed Land.” Li Mu said, his tone carrying a hint of respect and concern, looking at everyone solemnly.
“If any of the seven Sealed Lands are breached, it will cause the entire Seal Grand Formation to collapse, and the passage between the Demon Abyss and this realm will be completely opened.
At that time, the Devil Abyss Army will surge in like a tide, and this realm will fall into an unprecedented crisis.” Li Mu's voice was low and powerful, every word like a heavy hammer striking everyone's hearts.
As Li Mu's introduction concluded, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy.
“Elder Li, do you know how they invaded this realm?” Vice Sect Master Xu of Taiyi Sect looked at Li Mu, asking with concern.
“Exactly, the Seal Grand Formation completely isolates the passages between the two realms, so how did they appear?” Clan Chief Nangong Lie followed up.
“Indeed! There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days.
If we don't find this loophole, how can we prevent this situation from happening again?” Clan Chief Zhou Hengping frowned tightly, agreeing with the question.
“Has there been another problem with the Seal Grand Formation, another crack in the passage?”
...
Everyone's gaze focused on Li Mu, anticipating his answer.
Last time, a passage crack appeared in the Seal Grand Formation in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Domain, leading to the infiltration of Demon Abyss forces, which resulted in the complete fall of the entire Southern Wilderness Spirit Domain, with countless casualties.
The various major Sects and Cultivation Families of Central Continent sacrificed hundreds of thousands of excellent Disciples and expended enormous resources to jointly clear them out and successfully Seal the passage crack.
That incident left an indelible shadow in everyone's hearts.
Facing everyone's urgent inquiries, Li Mu gently shook his head and explained, “The situation this time is different from the passage crack in the Southern Wilderness Spirit Domain last time.”
“The two-realm Seal Grand Formation is currently unharmed.
Their ability to force their way into this realm is all due to a Body Integration Stage Demon Cultivator, Di Tianxing, who, coveting the merits of the Demon Abyss and seeking to break free from the dilemma of Heavenly Demise, secretly colluded with Demon Abyss forces and cast a secret realm-breaking spell, opening a temporary passage from the Demon Abyss to this realm.” Li Mu responded in a deep voice.
“What? Such a thing happened!”
“How dare he! This person is truly a disgrace to humanity!”
A chorus of exclamations immediately erupted in the hall.
“Demon Cultivator Di Tianxing, who is this person? Which Sect or faction is he from? How dare he betray this realm and collude with external forces!” Vice Sect Master Xu of Taiyi Sect glared, his voice filled with anger and shock.
“Such an act is simply unforgivable!” Sect Master Sun Yuankun of Lingxiao Sect also had an angry expression, unable to imagine someone daring to do such a thing.
“Everyone, there's no need to be angry.
Demon Cultivators have always acted recklessly, disregarding any morality or rules.
It was the Nine Demon Sect before, and now it's Di Tianxing.
Such things are hard to prevent, but a mere Body Integration Stage Devil Head, who foolishly attempts to improve his cultivation and break free from the dilemma of Heavenly Demise by colluding with Demon Abyss forces, is simply dreaming!” Qi Xuanming quickly interjected, his voice steady and powerful, calming everyone down.
“Dao Lord is absolutely right, such Devil Heads should be executed by everyone!” Vice Sect Master Xu of Taiyi Sect stood up, speaking indignantly.
“That's right, we cannot let this Devil Head continue to run rampant.
We must find him as soon as possible and bring him to justice!” Sect Master Sun Yuankun of Lingxiao Sect also stood up, his voice carrying a hint of urgency.
“Everyone, no need to worry.
This person has already been captured by us.
He is a ten-thousand-year-old villain from Tianlong Sect…” Li Mu smiled slightly, briefly explaining Di Tianxing's background.
“Tianlong Sect? This Sect seems to no longer exist in the world!”
“Tianlong Sect seems to have been destroyed five thousand years ago.
I didn't expect such a human scum to remain!”
...
While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they also scorned Di Tianxing's actions.
“Everyone, for now, the focus should still be on how to strengthen the protection of the Sealed Land.” Qi Xuanming's gaze swept across everyone's faces, interrupting their discussion.
“Di Tianxing has been captured, but the Demon Abyss forces are still a huge threat.
The three Dao Lords of our Sect are still pursuing the remaining Demon Abyss forces with no results yet.
We must ensure that we unite to guard the safety of the seven great Sealed Lands and prevent the Demon Abyss forces from invading again.”
“Dao Lord Qi is absolutely right.” Sun Yuankun nodded in agreement, “We must send more personnel and set up more powerful Formations to ensure the stability of the Sealed Land.”
Vice Sect Master Xu of Taiyi Sect stood up and expressed support, “That's right, our Sect is willing to send elite Disciples to assist in guarding the Sealed Land.”
“That's right, the Eight Great Families will not sit idly by.”
...
Other Sect Masters and Clan Chiefs nodded, all expressing their willingness to send Disciples to coordinate and cooperate in guarding the Sealed Land.
“Hmm, our Sect's Elder Li will set up a warning Formation, the Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array, in the seven Sealed Lands.
“This Formation is an ancient wonder, infinitely powerful, but the Materials required for its setup are extremely rare and complex, requiring the combined efforts of all of us to gather them.” Qi Xuanming's gaze was solemn, his tone carrying an undeniable attitude, “Therefore, I propose that each Sect and Family must contribute together to collect the forty-nine rare Spirit Materials required for the Formation.”
“Among them, ‘Star Luo Crystal’ needs to be extracted from the place where stars fall.
Taiyi Sect, being skilled in astronomy and celestial phenomena, can be responsible for its exploration and collection.
‘Moonlight Dew’ needs to be collected on the night of the full moon, in the place where moonlight is most concentrated.
Lingxiao Sect, being proficient in the Dao of Nature, will be responsible for this task.”
“As for ‘Void Stone’ and ‘Ethereal Jade’, these two Spirit Materials are hidden in the Void Realm and are elusive, requiring experts skilled in the Law of Space to explore them.
Our Xuantian Sword Sect happens to have several Elders who have some knowledge of the Law of Space and are willing to undertake this important task…”
“Other Spirit Materials each have their own characteristics and Origins, and need to be shared by each Sect and Family according to their respective strengths.
I hope everyone can work together to contribute to guarding the Central Continent.”
...
Hearing Qi Xuanming suddenly arrange for them to collect resources, the Sect Masters and Clan Chiefs present couldn't help but exchange glances, their expressions varied.
Some Sect Masters looked troubled, clearly feeling immense pressure to gather so many rare Spirit Materials in a short time.
Others, however, had flickering eyes, seemingly calculating in their hearts how to seize this opportunity to enhance their own Family's influence in Central Continent.
“May I ask Elder Li, what kind of Formation is this Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array?”
An old man with a clear face and wise eyes slowly stood up.
He was none other than Yun Feiyang, the Sect Master of Hidden Spirit Sect.
He had considerable research in the Dao of Formations, and at this moment, his question to Li Mu also reflected the doubts in many people's minds.
“Sect Master Yun asks well.” Li Mu smiled and nodded, then explained in detail, “The Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array was created by a powerful ancient figure, combining the power of the Heavenly Earth Spirit Eye and the arrangement of the Heavenly Dipper constellations.
This Formation can perceive the Void Realm and provide warnings thousands of miles away.
This Formation is divided into inner and outer layers: the outer layer is the Heavenly Dipper Star Formation, and the inner layer is the Spirit Eye Insight Formation.
The Heavenly Dipper Star Formation is based on the Heavenly Dipper constellations, borrowing the power of the stars… The inner Formation refines Spirit Mist into an eye… Once this Formation is completed, it can not only monitor the movements of the Sealed Land in real-time…”
“So that's how it is, this Formation is indeed extraordinary, Master Li's Formation is unparalleled! I have learned much, Sect Master Yun.” Yun Feiyang nodded repeatedly after listening, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, sincerely praising him.
“Dao Lord Qi, we are naturally willing to contribute to guarding the Central Continent, but forty-nine rare Spirit Materials are truly extraordinary, and many of them are rarely seen, I'm afraid…” A Sect Master in a green robe with an aged face hesitated to speak, his words revealing a hint of worry.
“Alas, I also know this is difficult, but the Demon Abyss forces are stirring, and if we cannot plan ahead, when the crisis truly arrives, it will be too late to regret.” Qi Xuanming sighed, his gaze sweeping over everyone, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
“Dao Lord Qi is right, as members of the Central Continent, we are duty-bound.” A burly man with a majestic face, Clan Chief Kun Yuanba of the Kun Family, stood up and said loudly, “Our Kun Family is willing to accept the mission and be responsible for exploring and collecting ‘Earth Core Magma’ and ‘Ice Jade Marrow’ these two Spirit Materials.
Although they are born in extreme environments, our Kun Family has our own methods and will certainly live up to the trust.”
“Good! Clan Chief Kun truly has a sense of responsibility.” Qi Xuanming nodded approvingly, then turned his gaze to the other Sect Masters and Clan Chiefs, “Everyone, the Kun Family has taken the lead in expressing their stance, what about you?”
Under Qi Xuanming's encouragement, everyone expressed their willingness to undertake their respective tasks and collectively contribute to collecting the Formation Spirit Materials. (End of Chapter)
